I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 465 Various Organizations, Various Reasons
Before the audition began, Li Hyuk received news that Director Nolan and John David Washington, the son of the famous actor Denzel Washington, had dinner together last night and chatted for several hours.

John David Washington was one of Li He's competitors. When he heard the news, Li He was a little disappointed.It is self-evident that the director and the competitor meet before the audition. What is even worse is the current political environment in Hollywood.

Yes, that's right, the political environment.

Some people think it sounds nonsense, but today's Hollywood is deeply influenced by political correctness.Let's not talk about the taboo, just talk about Uncle Hei.

Today's mainstream Hollywood commercial films must have black protagonists, and they must be positive protagonists. If they don't, they will be protested by black uncle groups and criticized by pro-black uncle media.

In Nolan's last film "Dunkirk", there was no black character in the film, which made the black uncles very dissatisfied. In North America, this film encountered resistance from the black uncles.

Warner Pictures did a lot of public relations for this, and found various WWII historians to prove that there were no blacks involved in Dunkirk at that time, but the black uncles didn't care, they just felt that Warner Pictures and Nolan ignored them Uncle Black's contribution in World War II led to the unsatisfactory box office of "Dunkirk".

So Nolan is likely to choose John David Washington as the protagonist in order to compromise with the black uncle group, because John David Washington happens to be a black man.

If this is really the case, Li He feels that the hope of this trip is slim, but he has come here, so he can't just go back in such a desperate way!
There are many similar organizations and things in North America, such as dog-loving organizations, animal protection associations, plant protection associations, and so on.Li Hyuk once had a good time with "A Dog's Mission". This movie was protested by dog ​​lovers in North America. Dog lovers believed that the film crew hurt the good friend of human beings, dogs.

The classic movie "The Shawshank Redemption" in many people's minds, in the film, there is a scene where Boo feeds the crows in his pocket.

Unexpectedly, the North American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals stated that it is inhumane to directly feed live bugs to crows. The crew found a bug that died naturally before completing the filming.Because of protests, the crew had to use matches to build a miniature seat for the live bugs to rest between shots.

The bug alone spent more than $12 during filming, and there are countless other incidents, which shows the impact of various organizations on Hollywood crews.

In Hollywood, which is deeply influenced by political correctness, if Li Hewan becomes the leading actor in Nolan's new film and replaces Uncle Hei, it may cause an uproar.The black uncles will feel discriminated against, and Li He will also have difficulty moving an inch in North America.

After understanding the joints here, Li Hyuk relaxed instead. If he can't get along in Hollywood, he will go back to China!He has a vast domestic market as a basis, and the North American market is not his food after all.

And there is no need to worry so much. Black uncles are very active, but there are definitely many anti-black uncle groups. Don’t forget that although North America is known as a beacon of humanity, it is actually a place where racial discrimination is deeply cultivated.

Before going to the audition, Da Mimi helped Li He organize his clothes and tied his tie with his own hands.This is a repertoire. When Li Hyuk attends various formal occasions, as long as Da Mi Mi is by his side, he will definitely tie a tie for him, and then give him a sweet kiss while wearing the tie.

In the words of Da Mi Mi, this is to keep life surprising and sweet, and the relationship between husband and wife can be more harmonious.

Qian Duoduo rushed over from China to accompany Li He to participate in this audition, watching the couple show their affection in silence.After seeing that Li Hyuk was dressed, Qian Duoduo said, "Director Nolan's assistant called just now. Director Nolan invited you to have breakfast with Da Mimi at his home in Los Angeles."

Li He raised his brows: "Oh? Really? Why did Director Nolan have a whim?"

"I think it might be to appease you, because after John David Washington and Nolan had dinner yesterday, many media reported that John is about to become the leading actor in Nolan's new movie." Qian Duoduo said.

Li He shook his head and said: "I think it's more important to appease Warner Pictures. Warner Pictures has attached great importance to our cooperation in the past few years. They also want to win the distribution rights of "The Wandering Earth" in North America, and they are facing Disney. At this juncture, Nolan has to consider what Warner wants."

"Then tell me, is it possible for Nolan to compromise for Warner?" Qian Duoduo asked.

"I think Nolan has only one movie contract left with Warner Pictures. A hot director like him will never lack cooperation with big companies. It's too late for Warner Pictures to curry favor with him."

"Then Warner Pictures is likely to take Nolan's face into account. If Nolan doesn't agree with us being the starring role, Warner Pictures will not insist." Da Mimi interjected.

Li He snapped his fingers and said, "Smart, congratulations for getting started in Hollywood. In order to compensate me, Warner Pictures may arrange a role for me in other movies."

Da Mimi curled her lips and dismissed it. She was sought after in China. Da Mimi was proud and arrogant, but she was very dissatisfied with being used as a bargaining chip in Hollywood.Several times I wanted to persuade Li Hyuk to go back to the country, but seeing Li Hyuk's full fighting spirit, he couldn't say anything.

Li He and Da Mi Mi rushed to Nolan's home in Beverly Hills at the appointment, and Mrs. Nolan warmly received them.

"Hey, Li, it's been a long time." Mrs. Nolan and Li He came to kiss each other.

Li He introduced Da Mimi beside him and said: "This is my wife, Anna Yang."

"Hello, Mrs. Li, breakfast is ready, Nolan is waiting for you, please come in."

"thanks……"

A group of people entered the restaurant, and as soon as they entered the door, they saw Nolan sitting at the main seat and reading the newspaper.Nolan saw that Li Hyuk was very enthusiastic, so he took the initiative to shake hands.After exchanging pleasantries, the guest of honor sat down and enjoyed breakfast together.

Breakfast is very American, bread with butter, egg and ham sandwiches, plus vegetable salad, and a cup of hot milk.Li He is not picky about his food, and he can get used to any kind of breakfast, but Mi Mi, a big girl from the alley, is very unaccustomed to such an American breakfast.

Fortunately, eating breakfast is not a serious matter, the two parties must be talking about serious business.After breakfast, Mrs. Nolan took Da Mi Mi to visit the manor, while Li He and Nolan chatted about "Creed" in Nolan's study.

"Li, I want you to tell the truth, what do you think of the script of "Creed"?" Nolan asked straight to the point.

Li He hesitated, but said truthfully: "To be honest, Director Nolan, I didn't understand the script."

Nolan showed an expression as expected: "This is normal, Robert Pattinson, who has passed the audition, can't understand the script."

In Hollywood, most of the stars do not have a high degree of education, and many come to become stars without graduating from high school.Nolan also knew about Li He's situation, and learned that Li He also entered the entertainment industry after graduating from high school in Huaxia and did not go to university.

In fact, Nolan was wrong. In his previous life, he had only graduated from high school, but in his previous life, he graduated from a key university. Although he majored in liberal arts, he still couldn't understand the script, and the more he read it, the more confused he became.
