Senior Superstar

The shooting schedule of "Strange 2" is very tight. After half a month of continuous shooting, Li Shixin's tension was finally loosened.

In fact, in terms of shooting difficulty, "Strange 2" can be regarded as the easiest film he has ever filmed.

In fact, Marvel’s scenes only need to overcome the embarrassment of shooting without real objects, acting in the air, and doing some movements similar to the second part of "Sword of the Void", the difficulty is quite low.

Li Shixin even felt that if Hollywood superstars were not needed to increase the popularity of the movie, he could just find a few extras from the Rong store to do the job.

Special effects and scenes account for the majority, and the pursuit of visual stimulation plays, the individual acting skills of the actors are no longer important.

Li Shixin even felt that when he acted in "Flying in the Wind" with an investment of only 5 million soft sister coins, he put in more effort than the current blockbuster with an investment of over 200 million.

But there is no way. The market is like this now. People's demand for watching movies determines that popcorn-style things will often bring greater economic benefits.

Entertain to death.

Pulled away from the shooting state, Li Shixin cleaned up the lawn of the villa.

This time, a group of old fans did not follow when they came to North America. These physical tasks were originally undertaken by Liu Feng's grandson, but now the old man has to do it himself.

After three o'clock in the afternoon.

Li Shixin was mowing the lawn in the yard when he heard the roar of a large-displacement sports car coming from far and near.

Hearing the sound of the car, Li Shixin was quite surprised.

Since "Lamb" became popular, there are fewer and fewer neighbors around me. At the beginning, it was only the neighbors who couldn't bear to move away, but now with the box office and word-of-mouth of the movie, the major Hollywood media promoted the movie with praise, as well as the anecdotes during the filming process. The villa of the set is more widely known, and even the neighbors before and after the shit are gone.

Li Shixin couldn't remember the last time he heard the sound of a sports car.

"Hey Lee!"

Just as Li Shixin was holding the gardening scissors and leaning on his waist to look out, a classic Mustang Shelby sports car suddenly stopped in front of the courtyard.

Looking at the person in the driver's seat, Li Shixin was happy.

"Good afternoon, Griff, my friend."

After waving vigorously to Li Shixin across the courtyard, Griff jumped out of the car with a plump girl in the passenger seat.

After receiving the news that "The Silence of the Lambs" was nominated for the Oscars, Grieve was more excited than Li Shixin.

After receiving the call in the morning, I couldn't help but rushed back to Hollywood from Los Angeles with my new girlfriend in the afternoon.

Looking at Li Shixin, who was dressed like a farmer in jeans with suspenders and a big straw hat without brim, Griff took off his sunglasses and gave him a big hug.

"I miss you so much! Li, you really shouldn't have returned to China a while ago. You missed the most wonderful moment after the movie became popular!"

Letting go of Li Shixin, Griff raised his eyebrows in a low voice, holding back the waist of his female companion.

Seeing this guy winking, Li Shixin chuckled.

Although I haven't seen Griff for a while, Li Shixin has heard about his recent situation through Zhou Yi.

After the movie became popular, this guy signed a five-year three-movie contract with Woodz and received a signing fee of 1.2 million US dollars. Not only that, this product accounted for 10% of the shares in the investment of "Lamb". At present, the box office of the movie has exceeded 200 million US dollars. The bonus in this guy's hands is close to ten million.

One play directly turned Griff, who had almost lost his face in the street, overturned, and gained both fame and fortune.

After getting rich, this guy completely let himself go.

In Zhou Yi's words - the company is not worried about the box office hit of his next film, but is only afraid that he will die suddenly of kidney failure due to excessive intercourse, and will not be able to complete the contract of three films in five years.

After taking a good look at the girl with tall eyebrows and a plump figure who was the same as Kardashian next to Griff, Li Shixin smiled slightly and invited them into the room.

It seems that Griff changed girlfriends too frequently, and Griff didn't even bother to introduce the name of his girlfriend to Li Shixin.

The latter didn't care. After entering the villa, he looked curiously at this mansion that had become an urban legend in Hollywood.

Knowing that Hollywood is close to Los Angeles, and the atmosphere of sensuality and luxury, Li Shixin curled his lips.

The villain succeeds, expands!

I don't know how to check!

After making tea with a grim face, Li Shixin tried his best to control his expression, and sat back on the sofa.

Griff didn't know that his teacup was almost spat on by Li Shixin, who was so jealous that the walls were separated.

"Li, you should have received news from the company about the Oscars. What do you think is our chance of winning the award this time?"

After taking a sip of the tea that Li Shixin handed over, Griff asked impatiently.

Li Shixin knew what Griff was thinking.

This guy was too crazy and self-important at the beginning, so he became a laughing stock in Hollywood.

So I have a special obsession with winning awards.

In Hannibal's way of thinking, this is called covetousness.

"Not much hope."

After a little thought, Li Shixin answered directly.

"How do you say that? According to the rules of the Oscars, if the creators of the crew are confirmed twice to participate in the awards ceremony, there must be a grand prize."

Griff was taken aback for a moment, then frowned.

Obviously, that wasn't the answer he wanted to hear after traveling all the way from Los Angeles.

Li Shixin smiled slightly, and put down the teacup in his hand.

"Griff, my friend. As the box office dark horse at the beginning of this year, "Lamb" has been touted by almost all film critics and media. As far as I know, from April last year until now, no film has achieved Such a high reputation. So for this, "Lamb" is destined to have an award. But you have to consider the rules of the Oscars and the background of "Lamb", so you won't have such high expectations now. First of all, the production and announcement company of "Lamb" is Woodz, the only film and television company in Hollywood that is controlled by a Chinese company. Based on this alone, the best picture is out of the question. This is related to some unspoken political unspoken rules, you know."

Hearing Li Shixin's analysis, a trace of disappointment flashed across Griff's face.

"What you said makes sense. I didn't consider this. In your opinion, what about the others?"

"I heard that this year's main judges include HBO's Agron, your former employer."

"."

Hearing this name, Griff instantly turned pale.

have to.

Just because of his blatant shooting before, HBO's works are all soap operas.

With this former owner on the jury, the best director himself is enough.

"how about you?"

Faced with Griff's unwilling questioning, Li Shixin smiled helplessly.

"As for me, it depends on whether the jury defines the role of Hannibal as a leading actor or as a supporting actor. If it is a leading actor, even if it is shortlisted, there is a 100% chance that I will accompany him. Given the current Oscar environment , it is unlikely for a Chinese to win the best actor. If it is a supporting actor, I should still have a little chance."

"Damn it! Son of a bitch!"

Cursing viciously, Griff threw himself into the soft leather sofa.

"Why are things in this world so troublesome. Forget it, I don't want these things anymore. Li, life is so twists and turns, let me have a good time today. I have met a lot of wonderful girls recently, and I noticed that you are now Just one person, how about letting us have a party without any scruples?!"

Perhaps because he had obtained everything except fame, Griff immediately broke away from his depression.

Winking, he leaned in front of Li Shixin.

hiss!

The lad has a future!

Since you proposed it sincerely, how about

"Who said he was alone?"

Before Li Shixin could respond, a slightly cold voice came from the door.

"cough."

Looking at Zhao Jinzhi who was standing at the door at some point with a large suitcase at his feet, Li Shixin put away the smile that had just bloomed.

Taking a deep breath, his face was serious.

"I'm a very simple person. Don't tell me about these messy things in the future! It sounds disgusting to me!"

In a righteous manner, Griff criticized the corrupt and ignorant private life.
