When Cao Xuan came to the United States again, the cover of the political news in this land had changed.
The unprecedented skin color ushered in a new wave of American society.
But this has nothing to do with Cao Xuan. He wants to worry about it, but he can¡¯t reach that level, and he won¡¯t be allowed to write about it. Otherwise, the wedding of the daughter of a certain real estate agent will not be held this year
At the headquarters of New Line Cinema, Cao Xuan met his old friend Camila Galano.
The latter is now the acting president of New Line Pictures. Although he has an agent, he is also one of the core executives of Warner Bros. Pictures, a super boss who ordinary Hollywood stars are desperately seeking.
However, this big guy smiled brightly when he saw Cao Xuan: "Chris, I watched your performance at the Olympics. It was an impeccable performance. My two sons and I are all fans of yours."
"Thank you, if you don't mind, I have a few signed albums that I can give to you father and son."
"Awesome, this is the absolute best gift ever."
After the warm and tacit greetings, the sly bald Jew took out a tea set from his office wine cabinet and looked at the surprised Cao Xuan.
"Tea Product."
After uttering the name awkwardly, Galano smiled amusedly: "The tea you served me back then was not easy to buy in the United States."
"Okay, let me try your tea."
Cao Xuan smiled. Although Galano did not do this out of sincerity, it was considered intentional to entertain Cao Xuan with such a set of things, and it also revealed the importance he attaches to Cao Xuan.
The equipment is complete, but Galano is obviously a half-baked tea ceremony, and his technique is rough, Cao Xuan does not dislike it, he has a drink for the face, and then praises it.
"The tea is very good."
These words are not entirely perfunctory. Galano¡¯s tea is indeed good, far inferior to the top-quality tea from Cao Xuan¡¯s family, but it can be sold. It is said that this small pot cost Galano thousands of dollars.
There is also this set of tea sets. Galano boasted that it was made of celadon from the Qianlong official kiln. He spent a long time buying it from an antique shop in Chinatown with a lot of money.
Cao Xuan pursed his lips when he heard the words.
He really doesn't know the market price of tea in the United States, and it's hard to say whether it's a loss or a gain.
But for this Qianlong official kiln tea set, although Cao Xuan doesn't know much about antique porcelain, he also knows that the base style of similar porcelain is not simplified.
?From the point of view of workmanship, it is not a street stall, but at the price that Galano paid, at least one cart can be pulled to jdz, and the quality is even better, no simplified characters
After hesitating for a while, Cao Xuan decided to cover up his fellow villagers, ignored the tea set, and chatted with Galano.
A year later, New Line Cinema, which was acquired by Warner, has gradually come out of the initial turbulent period, but this does not mean that Gallano's position as president is secure.
It can also be seen from his position that he has been in office for almost a year, and the word "agent" has not been removed.
More importantly, after the acquisition of New Line, although it is still a subsidiary in name and has certain freedom, compared with the previous independent subsidiary, the power of the senior management of New Line has been weakened a lot.
Not to mention, in the whole year of 2008, New Line participated in the investment and production of only five films, including "Taken 2", and two of them were not the main control.
Of course, there are many reasons why the new company has just been reorganized, coupled with the economic crisis, the capital chain is tight, and the project investment is deliberately reduced.
But in any case, the decline of Xinxian is visible to the naked eye. The boss and shareholders will not worry about your plight, they will only look at your achievements.
Gallano took office for one year, and the most outstanding results were the first part of "Taken" a year ago and the romantic comedy movie "He Doesn't Like You That Much" starring many Hollywood stars in early 2009.
?Besides this, all other produced and distributed films performed mediocrely, and even the data of individual films were in a mess.
Of course, many of these films were projects that Galano had decided on before he took office, and he was taking the blame for his predecessor.
But still the same sentence, the boss and shareholders will not think so much, if your tenure project does not make money, this responsibility cannot escape his share.
The fleeting years are unfavorable, making life difficult for him. If Galano was not bald, his hair would be grey
To put it bluntly, this summer vacation is Gallano's last chance.
He also has three films in his hand, one independently produced "Ghosts of Ex-Girlfriends", one co-produced "Taken 2", and one co-produced "Return to Seventeen".
These three films are his mostRescue with my sister, the location is set in the United States, but it's hard to say now, we may make another movie first. "
Cao Xuan actually made a double-material plan, Anne Hathaway can play the best, and if she doesn't act, let the male lead change his girlfriend.
At the same time, the setting may add a teammate, just like the Interpol played by Hu Jing in the second movie, but the character design will be more comedic, forming distinctions and conflicts with men.
However, there is a problem now that Cao Xuan feels that he will act in three films of the same series at one go, which will make his acting path too fixed.
So I intend to make a film of other types to synthesize it, and then make "Taken 3".
Although he made his way into Hollywood through action movies, and will even focus on shooting action movies in the future, it does not mean that Cao Xuan intends to only shoot action movies. He wants to try some different themes, so as not to circle his way of acting.
But there is no need to say these, I just chatted with Anne Cathaway about the third plot. The script is not sure, it is just an outline, and it needs to be filled in later.
The two chatted lively, and Johnson next to him was a little envious.
If the third part is filmed, Anne Hathaway, as the heroine, is likely to star in, and he will live and fly with the male lead, and he will be different. He died thoroughly in the second part and has no chance of resurrection.
Not even matryoshka, because the third part is likely to let Lao Bai, who played the villain in the second part, be "reborn" as his younger brother.
One has been "forcibly" resurrected, but the plot can be justified if it has a foreshadowing, but if Johnson is resurrected again, it will not be an ordinary insult to the audience's IQ.
With this depressed mood, Johnson watched the premiere of the movie, and saw Cao Xuan tortured himself to death on the screen, and his mood became even worse.
Until the next morning, when Johnson got up in the morning and saw the newspaper delivered in the morning, a smile appeared on his face.
Movies are released on Saturdays, which is the peak weekend season. In North America, the box office of the first week of the weekend is the most important thing. Although it does not determine the box office of a movie, it also has a strong reference value.
The box office on the first day was 30 million+, and the North American box office may not be able to pass just breaking 100 million.
As an important leading actor, what Johnson can know is that his resume will add to his brilliance, and his fame and salary will also increase a lot.
The depression in his heart was swept away in an instant, and the happy Johnson had a big appetite. He usually pays attention to his diet, and he rewarded himself with some favorite food.
After taking a big bite of a large piece of toast wrapped in maple syrup and jam, Johnson recalled Cao Xuan teaching himself the tricks of cheating meals.
"Whole wheat bread, meringue, erythritol, so skinny, so skinny ?
