Yes, Phoenix is ​​now in a semi-closed situation in order to maintain its status.

He basically ignored everyone except filming, and he didn't attend Zhang Yang's birthday party.

Zhang Yang switched to a serious tone and said, "Thank you. I have to say that after this movie is made, you will no longer be Phoenix. You will be reborn from the ashes and become a phoenix."

In English, Phoenix and Phoenix are pronounced the same.

An interesting thing is that the phoenix has a good meaning in both the East and the West.

In the East, the phoenix is ​​used as a metaphor for a saintly person, and the phoenix symbolizes auspiciousness. Even airlines have phoenix patterns printed on their planes.

In the West, Phoenix means immortality, resurrection, and rebirth in English.

It's different when it comes to dragons. Dragons are not a good thing in the West. From time to time, I have to take it out and butcher it.

Phoenix felt a little happy when he heard Zhang Yang encouraging him with serious words.

But he still said: "Director, I can still distinguish between filming and reality. I fell into this state deliberately. There is no need for you to worry too much about me."

Zhang Yang did not argue, but instead told him about the role of the clown.

Especially the left and right hands represent different hearts. The right hand represents his Arthur personality, which is his sunny side.

The left hand represents his clown personality. Only in the second half of the movie, when the clown personality is completely awakened, does he begin to distinguish between his left and right hands.

Time passed quickly when the two of them communicated. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yang returned to his room.

Liu Yifei's luggage was also placed in his room.

Zhang Yang was a little curious. Is Liu Yifei planning to stay with him all the time? After all, he carries so many clothes.

After opening the suitcase, Zhang Yang saw the cheongsam. He picked up the cheongsam and looked at it carefully.

What a cheongsam! This slit is exactly what he wants! Before Zhang Yang came to the United States, he asked Liu Yifei if her cheongsam was ready, and she said she hadn't. It turned out that I wanted to surprise Zhang Yang!

Zhang Yang put the cheongsam on the bed. The more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became. He couldn't help but look forward to the night.

Liu Yifei went shopping this time and didn't come back until five or six o'clock. In addition to the three hours of going back and forth, they also spent more than three hours shopping.

When she returned to the hotel, the assistant was waiting for her in the lobby.

Yes, when the assistant helped carry the luggage, Liu Yifei had already left.

After she took the big and small bags from Liu Yifei, Liu Yifei asked casually: "Which room do I put my luggage in?"

The assistant looked at Liu Yifei a little strangely and thought, where else can you put your luggage?

Liu Yifei looked at the assistant and knew that her question was a bit redundant. But thinking about the things inside, she quickly said: "Take me there."

The little assistant didn't know why, so he took Liu Yifei to the largest suite on the top floor.

After the assistant knocked on the door, Zhang Yang opened the door and Liu Yifei walked in quickly.

Zhang Yang glanced at the assistant and closed the door with a bang.

The assistant silently blew the door shut passively. Then he went back to his room.

As she walked, she thought, luckily there was no dinner party for Zhang Yang's birthday today, otherwise, she wouldn't know when she would be able to have dinner.

Liu Yifei entered the room and started looking for her luggage, and then saw it in the master bedroom. I saw the cheongsam that Zhang Yangping put on the bed.

She was about to turn around and ask Zhang Yang why he messed with her luggage.

As a result, she couldn't turn around, and Zhang Yang hugged her tightly from behind again.

"I don't think I have." Zhang Yang asked Liu Yifei after hugging her and smelling her hair.

Liu Yifei struggled for two times to no avail, so she said angrily: "Do you still need me to think about you? Gao Yuanyuan and Scarlett still miss you."

"But I just want you."

"You really have no conscience. It takes Gao Yuanyuan more than an hour to drive to you. She just wants to see how difficult it is for you to make the trip." Liu Yifei said angrily.

"Really? How about I go and pledge myself to you?"

"Okay, you still want to commit yourself to me!" Liu Yifei suddenly broke away from Zhang Yang's arms and looked at Zhang Yang with an angry look.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zhang Yang asked Liu Yifei.

Liu Yifei didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Stop thinking so wildly. Let me take you to calm down." Zhang Yang said and pulled Liu Yifei into the bathroom. The two of them calmed down in the bathtub for a while.

Dinner was also delivered directly to the room. After dinner, the two chatted casually for a while, and then Liu Yifei was urged by Zhang Yang to change into a cheongsam.

On this night, Zhang Yang could prove that the cheongsam slit to the waist was indeed extraordinary.

The next morning, Zhang Yang looked at Liu Yifei beside him and asked, "Do you want to play for a few more days?"

"I won't disturb your shooting, right?"

"Just look at Phoenix's performance in "Joker", you will definitely benefit a lot." Zhang Yang explained.

Liu Yifei thought about it. The Venice Best Actor made a literary film and wanted to take a good look at it.

On the 28th, US time, Zhang Yang started filming a movie again.

The three of them, Liu Yifei, have been on the hot searches in the United States. Times Square in New York already has a lot of traffic.

In addition, it is currently during the Christmas holiday, so it is even more crowded. So I don’t know which media or passers-by photographed them yesterday.

The three goddesses went shopping together, and it was Gao Yuanyuan who won the match.

Among the American actors, Scarlett is the most recognizable, and Liu Yifei and the others had to be stunned for a while before they could recognize her.

As for Gao Yuanyuan, they don't know who she is at all, but can it be simple for someone to go shopping with two goddesses?

Americans said they must find out. The amazing thing about the Internet is that China only unilaterally prevents netizens from accessing foreign networks.

However, foreigners can access the domestic Internet.

Therefore, Gao Yuanyuan's information was quickly uncovered by the Americans. The possible gossip between her and Zhang Yang also gave Americans a hard time.

The film crew of "Let's Get Married" couldn't laugh or cry when they saw the news. Is this to tempt them to take the film to the United States?

Nutria Street, New Jersey.

The main content of the movie begins. Yes, the content shot before was all before the movie title.

Mainly to explain to everyone the chaotic situation in Gotham City. People at the bottom are not protected, so they are beaten, smashed, and robbed on the streets.

The first scene is another test of acting skills.

Because there are no lines, it’s just a way of acting, laugh! Laughing like a psycho.

Zhang Yang is full of confidence in Phoenix's performance. So just start with a close-up. Slap him in the face and laugh. Phoenix didn't know how he learned this smile.

Anyway, Zhang Yang was very satisfied.

Liu Yifei's scalp was numb as she watched.

Phoenix will give her the feeling that he is what a mental patient looks like.

In the blink of an eye, on the last day of 14, Liu Yifei returned to China.

2015 is here.

For the first scene in 2015, Zhang Yang chose to film Phoenix walking up the stairs.

"Phoenix, do you know how to take pictures?" Zhang Yang asked.

“Of course, I want to embody the difficulty of moving up.”

"OK, pay attention to the heavier footsteps." Zhang Yang explained.

Also on the first day of the New Year, the domestic movie box office statistics were released.

In 2014, the total box office of domestic movies was 296 billion yuan, and the box office of domestic films was 161 billion yuan, accounting for 55% of the total box office.

In the face of strong pressure from imported blockbusters,

Domestic films have been welcomed by the market and audiences.

With more than half of the share, it has won the dominant position in the market.

Zhang Yang listened to the assistant's report after finishing the shooting that day.

For two or three consecutive years, the box office of domestic films has exceeded that of imported films. After a long time, no one will remember this matter.

Maybe by then, it will take a year for imported films to surpass domestic films before they can make news again.

Time comes on the third day.

The crew welcomed a guest, Quentin!

The crew is filming an important scene today.

Arthur was told by his mother that he had no talent for comedy. So he turned on the TV and watched an old movie, "Follow Me" from 1937.

This is a comedy romance film, but as long as it is in a literary film, every scene that appears has a purpose.

In this movie, Zhang Yang chose to play a clip from the end of the movie.

The heroine wore a mask and blended into the crowd on the stage.

Zhang Yang used this paragraph to echo the plot of the police chasing the clown in the movie "Joker".

This episode also features many masked clowns.

Old movies were playing on the TV in Arthur's living room, and he himself had to act out a conversation between Arthur and the clown personality.

The clown's personality gradually emerges, and he behaves very violently.

Every time the clown personality appears, he either laughs wildly or dances, which is completely different from Arthur's style.

Arthur's character is more sluggish, while the clown's personality is more lively and agile.

Phoenix danced in the living room, and at the end of the dance couldn't help but shoot.

After Quentin arrived, when the filming was over, he couldn't help but screamed at Phoenix: "Oh my God, Phoenix, is this still the same you I know? Look how thin you have become."

Indeed, Phoenix's thin ribs are currently prominent. When he was dancing just now, he showed his skinniest state. Just like a person who is chronically malnourished.

Phoenix nodded lightly to Quentin, and then went to the side to rest.

Looking at Phoenix's state, Quentin shrugged innocently, then smiled at Zhang Yang and said, "I haven't filmed "The Hateful Eight" yet, but you ended up filming your second literary film."

Zhang Yang remembered that the last time he said he wanted to make "The Hateful Eight" was at the Cannes Film Festival. It had been more than half a year and the movie had not been made yet.

But this is normal. Directors of literary and artistic films often struggle with themselves. It’s not unusual for it to drag on for ten or eight years.

"Then you have to speed up, otherwise how can we compete on the same stage." Zhang Yang said jokingly.

"Of course I know this. Why do you think I came to visit your class? I came to check on the enemy before joining the team." Quentin said jokingly.

"Then I wish you smooth shooting." Zhang Yang said indifferently.

Zhang Yang has absolute confidence in the movie "Joker". Because back then it was a rival to "Parasite".

Now Zhang Yang has released "Parasite" in advance. He couldn't think of any movie in Hollywood in recent years that could compete with "Joker".

The most important point is that this movie is an American movie, but the director Zhang Yang is Chinese.

The difficulty of winning the award is much easier than that of "Parasite". Americans are very receptive to movies with various ingredients.

Quentin's visit was like opening a valve.

On the 4th, Li An came to visit the class.

Today I’m still filming Phoenix’s dance scene.

Li An and Quentin had different concerns. He asked Zhang Yang: "I heard that the production cost of this movie was 1.4 million US dollars, and you took nearly 8000 million alone?"

Zhang Yang nodded.

"Are you stressed? If the box office is not ideal, it feels like it will be priceless again." Li An sighed.

Yes, the current directing salaries of Zhang Yang and Li An are among the best not only in Asia, but also in the world.

Li An is currently quoting around US$6000 million, and Zhang Yang is quoting around US$8000 million.

"I'm different from you. I can go back to China and shoot by myself." Zhang Yang explained.

Li An was stunned and thought to himself, this is the benefit of becoming a capital. It's a pity that he can't do anything except make movies.

"How are you preparing for your war movie?" Zhang Yang asked again.
