He said.

"After filming "Black Moon Project 1", my body couldn't take it anymore, and I went to the hospital for a series of examinations - three highs... So, for more than a year, I had to reduce my diet and exercise. .”

Xia Yu smiled, "That's what you should pay attention to."

"It's okay if you don't pay attention, you're old, you're old!"

Xia Yu didn't dare to answer these words, so she just pursed her lips and smiled - she couldn't tell her family and Teacher Yongxia like that, 'We're still young! '

Although Gu Zhao's condition has improved, he looks like a generation away from Lu Lingyu.

There is no way, in order to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, Gu Zhao has to spend far more energy and effort than domestic directors.

If there is a "model worker list" in the director circle, then Gu Zhao must be on the list and be among the best.

While walking upstairs, he asked Xia Yu, "How is your teacher?"

Gu Zhao didn't ask Zhuang Ling, it was like asking her in vain, everyone knew each other well and knew everything.There is no need to be false about some things, how to say what to say, how to deal with it.This is how they behave at their current level.

Do as you please.

Xia Yu also answered how to answer, but Zhuang Ling's character was not so petty.

Her Senior Sister Zhuang Ling, the Prime Minister, can punt a boat in her belly.

"As usual, when you have time to go back, you can go back and have a look, right?"

Gu Zhao waved his hand.

I looked scared, "Go back, I will definitely go back, but I will definitely not go to see your teacher, I can't stand your teacher's lectures."

When a person is old, he is like a teacher, pointing to this and pointing to that.It doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't make sense, but it makes sense.At their age, and they are all cultural elements, who doesn't understand?

It's just a question of who wants to listen.

It's okay for you to say a few words occasionally, but you always say, who is not irritable?
The old man is actually old and has few friends.Let alone a colleague like Gu Zhao, who is rare to get a chat with.

It doesn't have to be preaching, maybe it's loneliness?How should I say this?

After all, the old man didn't enjoy any family happiness, and the company Yongxia and her gave to each other could not be fully satisfied.It can only be said that life is composed of many parts, and Zhuang and his wife have many missing places.

If this piece is missing, you can only make up for it from another piece.

Sometimes, it's really hard to understand when I'm not that age. Xia Yu can understand a little bit, but it's just that she has taken more courses and can understand it better.

So, facing Gu Zhao's words, Xia Yu only smiled and said:
"Now you must be annoying my teacher. After five or ten years, you may just get well."

Gu Zhao is also well-versed in poetry and books, and his mind is much stronger than Xia Yu's.When Xia Yu said this, she immediately understood, and there was approval in her eyes, but she only said, "Maybe?"

He asked her again, "What's the matter? That kid Dai Chengbi didn't come with you?"

For Dai Chengbi, not only Mr. Zhuang, but also Gu Zhao admired Dai Chengbi.

"It's rare to have such a fool!"

In this materialistic and impetuous era, there can still be such a "true love" junior director who will succeed them.

"Song Xi is pregnant again. She loves her daughter-in-law very much. She is taking care of her daughter at home. After so many years of exhaustion, it's time to rest."

Of course Xia Yu couldn't say anything else, she really treated Dai Chengbi like her own brother.Even if you are an employee, you have to compare your heart with your heart, right?
No matter how clever Gu Zhao was, he couldn't think of any other answer. "Indeed, Dai Chengbi, this kid, hasn't left his job all these years. He has been working hard in the top three in Europe. For more than ten years, he finally won the best silver lion director once. How can his wife and children be hot for a few years?"

"Forty? You're still young, why don't you have more than ten or two years to shoot, so what's a few years off?"

Gu Zhao said, "It's human nature!"

Gu Zhao was not in a hurry, so he walked one level at a time, "Have you met Lingyu and Cheng Yun?"

The entertainment circle is very big, so big that there are so many people, but it is also very small, because there are only so many people in our circle.

Xia Yu said, "Let me tell you, I haven't seen Sister Yu and Senior Sister Cheng Yun yet. Gu Daoxin?"

Gu Zhao turned his head, took a look at Xia Yu, and then asked, "Haven't we met yet?"

Xia Yu nodded.

"Then you are too busy!"

"I've only been in Los Angeles for a week."

"No—these two are my newly signed actors. If Director Gu has a project, he can help introduce them."

Xia Yu pointed to Lei Meng and Vivian. Although they didn't understand, they probably understood Xia Yu's meaning and stood up straight.

Gu Zhao said with a smile: "Where you are, Xia Yu, the two of them still worry about not having a movie to shoot?"

This is true, but it is also a rejection. If Xia Yu said that he wanted some resources, he would have the cheek to fight for Xia Yu.

First of all, Xia Yu has that ability, which is worthy of Gu Zhao's investment, and he will never lose money.

Victoria Films, for him, for Xia Yu's status in China, and just won a Venice actress, will also make arrangements.

But these two people, forget it, he doesn't have so many resources, and he doesn't have that leisurely attitude.

After walking around for a while, the office on the second floor and the third floor are offices for employees of various departments, so I glanced around and finally went to the tea room on the fifth floor.It was only Xia Yu and Gu Zhao, and the rest had to do what they were supposed to do.

Lei Meng and Vivian were left on the second floor, and they didn't think there was anything wrong. They were already very excited to get two attentions.

Entering the reception room on the fifth floor, Xia Yu and Gu Zhao were basically chatting, Ashley and Zhuang Ling were listening, and they didn't think he was there. After all, they didn't know Gu Zhao themselves. It is normal.

Of course, Gu Zhao is also a kind of gentler and approachable director, and occasionally cue Zhuang Ling and Ashley to avoid embarrassment for the two of them, and the overall atmosphere is still very good.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, and getting to know each other's recent situation, Gu Zhao raised his doubts.
"After winning a Venice actress, it stands to reason that you should continue to prepare for the battle and hit Berlin and Cannes."

"It's hard to say in Berlin. You went to Cannes twice, and if you try again, you still have a chance. Why——you suddenly chose to come to Hollywood?"

In Gu Zhao's eyes, Xia Yu should not be the kind of person who would give up his insistence for the so-called "global superstar" title.It can be seen from the fact that she passively rejected "Black Moon Project" and would rather shoot "Cure" than give up this opportunity.

If Xia Yu had continued to insist at the beginning, he would have preferred Xia Yu more at the beginning, and she must have been the saintess of the ancient country.

Why bother?
Xia Yu didn't intend to hide it from the beginning, and said straightforwardly:

"It is the dream of every film actor to set foot in the world, and Hollywood is also the place where many Chinese film and television actors pursue their dreams."

"It wasn't sudden either—I took over this company as early as a year or so ago."

Gu Zhao is worthy of being the "old fox" in the mouth of Mr. Zhuang. Hearing what Xia Yu said, he immediately understood and said "oh".

"So, why did you give up the second round of auditions for "Black Moon Project" because you already had plans?"

"Yes."

"Does Yao Yuanqian know?"

Gu Zhao asked this mainly because, so far, Xia Yu's reputation in China has almost reached the highest level.

Although Xia Yu didn't pay attention, it doesn't mean that these days, even after the Venice Film Festival ended, Huaxia was very quiet during the month when the "Nice to Meet You" variety show was broadcast.

The overwhelming news is still Xia Yu's news.

That is to say, on October 1st, "Black Moon Project [-]" and "Sound of the Wind" were released together, and they shared the same popularity with Xia Yu.

If it wasn't for Zhuang He's phone call, even Gu Zhao wouldn't know that Xia Yu, who is causing a boom in China, has already arrived in Hollywood, and even the acquisition of the company has been completed.

Although Xia Yu is not an actor of Great Wall Film and Television, who doesn't regard her as a sister of Great Wall Film and Television inside and outside the circle?
Yan Jingdan?
I don't know where it was forgotten.

The reason why I asked this question was because Yao Yuanqian approached him just before and planned to invite him back to China to make a movie.The main character is Xia Yu. From what that means, it means that she intends to give Xia Yu her all and make her the number one actress in China.

But Xia Yu has quietly taken root in Hollywood. Judging by her posture, she is definitely not just a round trip.

Xia Yu said, "In the final analysis, Chairman Yao is more for the development of Great Wall Film and Television. He is a very good manager and boss. But after all, I am not really an actor of Great Wall Film and Television. Even if it is not this year, I will come next year. , even if it’s not Hollywood—that’s the never-setting sun, France, Great Wall Film and Television, I’ve done what I can, and I think Chairman Yao will understand if he knows.”

She was referring to "Nice to Meet You."

Xia Yu didn't respond directly, but these words also clarified her attitude, and Gu Zhao couldn't understand it better.

The bosses of these film and television companies, after all, are just "businessmen".

How to understand their pursuit?
What they pursue is status, capital, and interests, and what they pursue is fame and fortune, leaving them in the history of entertainment and entertainment—it cannot be said who is more noble, but no one should be kidnapped by morality.

After a few words, Xia Yuming explained his situation.

He took a cup of tea from Xia Yu, took a sip, it was very fragrant, slightly astringent in the mouth, after a little bit of moistening, the astringency faded away, and the fragrance remained on his teeth and cheeks.

"Good tea."

Gu Zhao tasted it, nodded, and said, "I understand what you said, what are your plans?"

Gu Zhao looked at Xia Yu with a smile all over his face.

Gu Zhao, who is in his 50s, is already at the age of knowing his destiny, how many more years can he fight?
At most another ten years, two or three films, and it will be over.

From the age of 50 to now 57, every step has been carefully calculated.

Who to cooperate with, what genre to shoot, what goals, whether to cooperate once or for a long time... are all issues that he has to consider.

If it is said that three years ago, Gu Zhao looked down on Xia Yu, and if he was willing to look down on her, it was more because of Zhuang He's face.

Then, in the past three years, he has won five best actress laurel crowns and became an international best actress. The gold content of the awards has surpassed that of Wei Fei. Apart from Lu Lingyu, who has retired, Xia Yu is already the only one among Chinese actresses. the existence of copies.

Perhaps among the international actresses, Xia Yu can only be considered average in terms of acting skills and international popularity-but she is only 27 years old.

The world's international actresses, there are 27 years old who can win the three major actresses, actor, and even [-] or [-] years old.But after most of them were finished, they fell silent.If you haven't encountered a suitable movie again, you will never be able to climb back to the top.

Huaxia, who filmed "Blood Plum", won the Best Actress in Venice. After taking it, the whole spirituality seemed to be exhausted.

After that, I didn't cooperate with Zhuang He again, not to mention the Golden Rooster, Golden Horse and other awards, I didn't win any other awards.

Xia Yu pushed forward all the way, how similar is that kind of hard work to the group of them when they were young?

The most important thing is that Gu Zhao has seen Xia Yu's ambition, and Xia Yu at this time is enough to make him look up.

"I'm going to make a series of movies!"

"Commercial Film."

Xia Yu smiled slightly, took a document from Zhuang Ling, and pushed it to Gu Zhao's desk.

"Have you been waiting here for me?"

Gu Zhao didn't open the script immediately, curled his index finger, pointed at Xia Yu with a smile, "Tell me, what can I do for you?"

Xia Yu said, "Won't Director Gu read the script first?"

Gu Zhao shook his head and smiled, "How picky you are, Xia Yu, you are well-known in our director circle, I heard that, not only did you push back the old boy Ji Yuchang's script, even Wei Jingcheng, you hanging?"

Xia Yu had to clarify, "I just rejected Director Ji, but Director Wei didn't even finish the script. Director Wei is hanging on to me. How did it get to you? It's me hanging on to Director Wei." gone?"

"I don't recognize it."

"So that's how it is, that brat in Wei Jingcheng can't speak clearly!"

Gu Zhao just laughed, "Ji Yuchang's book is to cooperate with Wei Jihong. You are not tempted to cooperate with Wei Jihong? You, the queen of summer, choose this book, and the quality can be poor?"

"However, commercial films? Are you sure? This is not your advantage—" Gu Zhaolue pondered.

Xia Yu shook her head, "In Hollywood, literary and artistic films are not my advantage. Here, if I want to rely on literary and artistic films to get out of the circle, does Director Gu think it is realistic?"

"Are you going to—"

"Director Gu, why don't you read the script first?"

Seeing Xia Yu's "sworn" appearance, Gu Zhao also became curious.

Take a look at the time.

PM 17:21.

Still early.

"That's fine, I have to see, what kind of grade does it have to be for a commercial film that can make our film queens willing to put down their bodies to shoot?"

Gu Zhao said that he didn't want to tease him, but he never stopped teasing, and Xia Yu didn't struggle at all.

Take it as it is, use Director Gu as a mirror, know the gains and losses, and guard your heart, don't really take a movie queen, you really treat yourself as a dish.

A script, compared to the hundreds of thousands of words in the original "Twilight 1", the script only has tens of thousands of words.Moreover, unlike the many foreshadowings and thoughts in literary and drama scripts, they are straightforward and can be read in an hour or two at most without spending a whole night.

Looking at the script of "Twilight 1", Gu Zhao's face also changed slightly several times, either frowning or nodding.

He is also a screenwriter and director of literary and artistic dramas, and he also takes care of commercial films.

To be honest, for a sci-fi epic blockbuster like "Black Moon Project", he can still grit his teeth and make sacrifices.

However, after watching the movie that Xia Yu was going to shoot, Gu Zhao gave an equally appropriate evaluation, "A chick commercial movie?"
