Chapter 732: Friends Reunion
Did Xiang Yang invite director Zhang Mouzi to Liverpool to highlight his presence?
Stop it.

There's no need for that.

He had watched the movie "Refuge" when he was a child, and he had also watched the movie "The Flowers of War" in the cinema.

Although not very impressed.

But the two films tell very similar stories, except that with the rise of industrial films in China, there has been an obvious shift in shots that are more realistic.

In terms of content, they are very similar.

But it is precisely because of this similar content that a crucial question arises.

How to tell a good movie?
If it is filmed well, it can become a high-scoring movie like "Silent Separation" released in 2004, which successfully combines the cruelty of war with the tenderness of love.

Not only does it depict the delicacy of love through the lens, but it also allows the audience to have a deep discussion on the complexity of human nature.

But if it's not filmed well, there will be too much controversy.

This not only tests the director and screenwriter, but also poses a great challenge to the actors' superb acting skills.

The same goes for the audience.

Without thinking, Xiangyang could guess that his wife, who was determined to be a good actress, would definitely be very interested in such a challenging role.

but
"Honey, let's act something else. There's no need to show your charming and seductive side to others. Just show it to me."

Xiangyang does have selfish motives.

He really didn't think that Liu Xixi couldn't play the role that originally belonged to someone else.

Just a variety of styles.

Xiao Liu only needs to slightly reveal the clavicle at the corner of his shoulder~
There are a lot of people crying.

But from a fair point of view, he hopes that Zhang Mouzi can make a real war movie that is fair from all angles.

There is no need to limit your work to a "humanitarian" perspective just for the sake of an Oscar.

It’s easy to fall into a pit and be unable to get out.

"Yangyang, the crew can't do without Director Zhang." Liu Xiaoli said, "Look, the producers like Mr. Han are all in control, and the burden of the entire crew is on him. If the filming is stopped, the loss to the crew will not be a small amount."

".Alas!" Xiangyang thought about it and agreed.

Let's wait until he's done with his work.

"Hey, our good friend is here." There was a knock on the door, and Little John's voice interrupted the conversation between Xiangyang and his mother-in-law.

Outside the door, Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston, both members of the gay group, had their hair combed neatly and wore handsome formal suits.

In other words, strong relationships are good.

Others will need to buy tickets to watch today's high-profile Premier League match.

The two of them appeared in the box with their friends and were personally entertained.

It will be so impressive if you tell others about it.

"Mom, I'm really going to die this time,"

"Okay, you go and do your work first." Liu Xiaoli was embarrassed to waste her son-in-law's time at this critical moment.

After hanging up the phone, the door opened and Little John's head popped in.

He asked curiously, "Is it necessary for you to avoid us when you are on the phone with Liu?"

After he finished speaking, Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch also smiled wickedly.

"Could it be that you are asking for leave because you know we are coming?" Tom Hiddleston raised his eyebrows and greeted Xiangyang enthusiastically.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xiang Yang gave him a look of disdain and asked, "How is the filming of your movie going?"

"Haha, I can see you never paid attention to the two of us." Tom Hiddleston said jokingly and gave a general introduction to his and Benedict Cumberbatch's recent relationship.

After finishing the filming of "War Horse", Benedict Cumberbatch has been on the set of "Sherlock Holmes".

He himself had already finished filming "One Day".

"Anne Hathaway has a really great figure. I haven't thanked you and John properly yet. It's a pity that you two don't come to the crew very often, so I can't appreciate it."

When four good friends get together, there is always no shortage of topics.

"Is it really that good?" Even Xiangyang couldn't help but ask curiously in front of his friends.

I didn’t want to put it aside that day, but it’s always normal to talk about it and gossip a little.

"Very good!" Tom Hiddleston gave a thumbs up, "But her acting skills are also quite good. I hope I can have the opportunity to work with her again."

After saying that, he looked towards Xiangyang and Little John.

The only ones who can create such an opportunity for him are these two good friends.

"You should focus on preparing for your Hollywood movie." Xiangyang smiled playfully.

How could such a good thing happen to Tom Hiddleston every day? There is a long line of male actors who want to work with Anne Hathaway.

He brought water to his friend and when he handed it to Benedict Cumberbatch, the guy took it and didn't even say thank you, which made Xiangyang frown slightly.

"Even if you buy Liverpool, I will still be a loyal fan of Arsenal." Benedict Cumberbatch was very dissatisfied with the final acquisition result.

"I don't need your ticket money."

"I won't even take it if you give it to me."

"Haha, I've never heard of a highly intelligent person saying something so stupid."

In the blink of an eye, Liverpool chairman Xiang Yang started arguing with Arsenal's diehard fan Benedict Cumberbatch.

Tom Hiddleston and Little John looked at each other and then went about their business.

One of them walked straight to the chairman's seat and sat down, while the other one looked around Xiangyang's office.

The chairman's office, which has not yet been renovated, is also luxurious enough.

Clicking his tongue, Tom Hiddleston asked Xiangyang:

"Xiang, you won't be staying here for long, right?"

"I'll leave tomorrow." Xiang Yang replied, and then he saw Little John adjust his seat to a comfortable angle for him, and walked over and said:

"Get up, this is not where you should sit."

"Go ahead and argue with Benedict Cumberbatch. I'm not doing you any harm." Little John was unwilling and reluctant, and refused to get up.

I don’t know when I will be able to come to this office next time.

"You three are so annoying." Xiangyang complained.

"Don't take me with you. I didn't provoke you after I came in." Tom Hiddleston felt that he was innocent. He moved towards Xiangyang and said, "How is it? It's rare for us to get together. Do you want to celebrate tonight?"

"Celebrate?" Xiang Yang raised his eyebrows.

"I brought you some whiskey from Scotland." Tom Hiddleston also raised his eyebrows. "Big bottles, four."

"I also brought you a bottle of champagne, a commemorative edition of Arsenal's championship in the 2003-2004 season." Benedict Cumberbatch expressed regretfully that he had originally intended to give this bottle of treasured champagne to his good friend after Xiang Yang became the chairman of the Arsenal club.

Right now, we can only.
"What about you?" Xiang Yang was too lazy to listen to him and turned his head to Little John. "I brought them to you, isn't that enough?" Little John pointed at Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston, whom he had picked up at the entrance of the training center.

This shocking sentence instantly united Xiang Yang, Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch into a front.

All three said that they had never seen such a shameless person.

However, this guy is always like this.

"Congratulations, Xiang." After complaining about little John to his heart's content, they really sat down to chat. Benedict Cumberbatch also retracted his unhappy expression and congratulated his friend.

Xiang Yang and Benedict Cumberbatch looked at each other and said, "Thank you. We'll go to the Chiefs to watch a game together if we have a chance. But today, we won't leave until we're drunk."

"Okay, I won't come back until I'm drunk."

"Are you sure Liu has approved your leave?" The mean little John leaned forward while sitting in the chairman's chair.

"Do I need her approval? That's ridiculous." Xiang Yang wanted to kick this guy right away. He hadn't even sat on the chair yet.

"Then you were not talking to her on the phone just now."

Seeing that he really stretched his feet over, Little John quickly gave up his seat, pushed the chair to signal Xiangyang to sit down, and made a gesture of invitation.

"Who told you I was talking to her on the phone?" Xiangyang sat down and lay back.

I have to say, this "servant" is really good.

“I just looked at my friends Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hiddleston. Unsure whether Zhang Mouzi would shoot “The Flowers of War”, he thought for a moment and said:
"By the way, I may need your help then."

"What help?" Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch looked at Xiang Yang blankly.

"Well, my wife might be taking on a war movie, and they need an actor to play a priest, so..."

Xiangyang is still very confident about them.

After all, we are just friends.

I know a little bit about it.

In his eyes, Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch's personalities are similar to O's.

"Come on, your schedule is more suitable." Tom Hiddleston said to Benedict Cumberbatch without thinking.

Benedict Cumberbatch waved his hands and said, "I'm also quite busy. Your height is more compatible with Liu."

"Come on, you look just right for playing a priest. My acting style doesn't fit this kind of role."

"I remember you've acted in many roles, and you have more experience working with beautiful actresses."

Acting with Liu Xixi, what a joke.

Those two who have a good relationship and can "sleep in each other's arms" with Xiangyang know that if there are some intimate scenes in the camera, they should at least wear a bulletproof vest when they meet their friends again in the future.

Seeing the two of them pushing each other, Xiangyang couldn't help but frown.

So disrespectful?

"What does this have to do with face!" the two asked Xiangyang in unison.

If you talk about other movies, they would still take the time to help out in cameo roles even if their friends just invited them for a beer and didn't ask for any pay.

But he acted with Liu Xixi.
In a word: face, is life more important? !

Looking at the indignant expressions of these two people, Little John, who was in charge of the movie, didn't understand what they meant. After asking, he was stunned.

Crazy!

Just to compete for the Best Foreign Language Oscar, they spent so much money to make a war film.

Spielberg's "War Horse" had a total investment of less than 7000 million US dollars.

But this huge investment is not only for competing for awards, it also guarantees the global box office market.

Zhang Mouzi's next film will also be invested on this scale.

Let’s not talk about whether or not you can win the award.

The market alone is relatively narrow.

The risk of investment and return rate is too great.

"Hey, you don't understand. Our Chinese film market also needs war films." Facing the denial expressed by Little John, Xiang Yang took a deep breath.

Who says that China’s own market cannot accommodate large-scale productions?

As far as I can remember, the box office performance of "The Flowers of War" was not low.

Compared with the investment, the output ratio seems to have indeed suffered a considerable loss.

However, as these attempts at heavy industrial films gradually accumulated, they prompted more and more filmmakers and investors to bet on this area.

It does have some significance for the launch of the film industry.

To be honest, Xiang Yang still hopes that domestic war films can enter the audience's field of vision.

"If it's just to save some money on actors, I can help."

"My demands for pay are not high."

Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch both expressed their opinions one after another.

However, Xiang Yang shook his head and said, "It's not about the pay."

"what is that?"

"It's still about the content."

"This..." Tom Hiddleston's eyes swept over Little John. The script was not something that the two of them could handle.

Feeling the gazes of the three people, Little John showed a rare look of embarrassment.

He has been busy with club matters lately.

I don't have the time to read the script.

"Don't look at me. If you want a disc of Saving Private Ryan or Pearl Harbor, I have it. I can't make the script. Wait, aren't we here to watch a game?"

Upon hearing this, Tom Hiddleston and Benedict Cumberbatch were also stunned.

Yes, we are here to watch a football game today, why would we talk about movies?

"Xiang, please stand up and let me sit down. I haven't experienced what it's like to be the president of a club. What if I get the chance to play such a role in the future?"

Hiddleston rubbed his palms together.

"Wait, what did you just say?" Xiangyang's voice was filled with joy.

"I said let me."

"It's not you! Why are you making trouble?"

"Oh" he looked at Xiangyang aggrievedly and uttered a syllable softly.

What's so fierce?
