Chapter 768 Recording "The Ellen DeGeneres Show"

Indeed, from the original "Beautiful Mind" to the upcoming "Joker" and the still-produced "The Meg", there is no exception in both literature and art or business.

"This might just be a coincidence." Zhang Yang also felt amazing after hearing her summary, but he could only explain it by coincidence.

"Is it that simple? Isn't it because our American film and television culture is very developed?"

"You're overthinking." Zhang Yang secretly gave her a roll of his eyes. He didn't know if everyone would notice it. Back then, Liu Yifei secretly rolled her eyes at Architect Jiang and everyone caught him.

"So besides making movies and investing, what are your other hobbies?"

"Exercise fitness. There is an old saying in China that the body is the capital of revolution."

"Then what do you practice? Kung Fu?" Allen was a little surprised to hear Zhang Yang's answer.

"I have indeed practiced kung fu." Zhang Yang admitted straightforwardly.

"Is it like "I fight"?" Allen gestured twice like Bruce Lee.

"No, no, no, I'm learning Tai Chi!" Zhang Yang waved his hand to deny.

He also uses the Chinese word for Tai Chi.

"Tai Chi?" Allen also started talking in Chinese.

"Do you want me to show you how to do it?"

"of course."

Zhang Yang stood up with a smile and gave him a very touching set of health-preserving Tai Chi. The audience at the scene was in awe, and even more believed that Chinese people know kung fu.

Allen immediately applauded, as did the audience.

"Although I don't understand it, it looks very comfortable, but it is definitely not easy to learn." Alan analyzed.

"I have a simple formula that I can teach you." Zhang Yang said jokingly.

"what?"

"A big watermelon, cut in half with one knife, and give half to you..." Zhang Yang told them this formula, and everyone listened carefully.

When he said it, the audience followed him and made gestures. They immediately felt that their learning was useless, and they applauded decisively.

Zhang Yang laughed even more when he saw it, and Allen also noticed it.

So she decisively changed the subject and pretended to be confused: "Director, I told the audience when the show first came to China that if you want to give me suggestions, you can give me one hundred yuan of suggestions and send them to our program team.

But so far, not many people have sent it to me. Isn’t my program popular in your country? "

"Is it possible that shipping is too expensive?"

"It seems they don't love me enough." Allen shrugged.

"By the way, there is a word that has become popular in Hollywood recently, "bunker". It was also spread by Quentin, the Chinese channel. It is said that you told him."

"No, absolutely nothing. You are talking nonsense." Zhang Yang denied it seriously.

Zhang Yang's deliberate denial was enough for everyone to notice that something was wrong.

The two chatted for about 20 minutes while laughing and joking. Allen suddenly slapped his head: "I even forgot that you are still a musician.

You have created many classic songs and music. Can you play one live for us today? "

"My voice hasn't been exercised for a long time. I guess I can't sing well. You don't have any musical instruments like piano!" Zhang Yang looked around with regret.

"How is it possible? Bring it up." Allen shouted, and a piano was carried out.

Zhang Yang was not modest and looked directly at the audience: "What do you want to hear?"

The voice of "Victory" soon took up the majority. Zhang Yang heard the public's voice and walked to the piano to sit down. Soon a piano version of "Victory" filled the studio of "The Ellen Show".

The song ended five minutes later, Zhang Yang waved and sat back in his seat.

After the two chatted for a while, Allen finally said: "The director came to the United States this time for the premiere of "Joker"."

"Yes."

“The movie ‘Joker’ was a great success,
It won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. This is also the third time you have won the Golden Lion as a director! You became the first person at the Venice Film Festival! "Ellen praised.

The crowd applauded again.

"Thank you. This is all the hard work of the entire crew, especially Phoenix, who has put in a lot."

"It is said that Phoenix's performance is considered by the audience to be on par with Heath Ledger, and he is also considered to be a popular candidate for the Best Actor Oscar next year.

Even the North American box office forecast for "Joker" has been raised to more than $2 million. This is a literary film. "Alan will mainly give a compliment.

Zhang Yang smiled and nodded in acceptance.

"But it has also triggered concerns and controversy among many people, which will cause social unrest." Allen raised concerns with a change of tone.

"One movie wouldn't have that much impact."

"But this is your movie, directed by Zhang Yang. One of your movies can make a tourist attraction popular."

“The purpose of my comic book movie is to find a new approach, to change people’s previous impression of superhero movies as popcorn movies, and what I want to discuss is actually social issues.

And Warner has also made a lot of efforts for this this time.

Most of us normal people can tell right from wrong. For those who do not have the ability to distinguish right from wrong,
They can twist a lot of things and resolve anything the way they want, and that responsibility doesn't just lie with one movie. "Zhang Yang began to shirk the blame with reason.

"You are saying that our American society has its own problems." "Any society has problems, and there is no country without problems, unless it is paradise." Zhang Yang joked.

After listening to Zhang Yang's words, the audience applauded again.

Soon the "Ellen Show" ended, and both Zhang Yang and Ellen went to the backstage of the stage. This show will be broadcast on the afternoon of the premiere of "Joker". The broadcast time is still before the premiere.

In the blink of an eye, the afternoon of the 17th came and "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" was broadcast as scheduled. The effect of this broadcast was beyond everyone's expectations.
What everyone is paying attention to is not Zhang Yang's questions and answers about "Joker", but Zhang Yang's Tai Chi skills and the Tai Chi formulas he gave to Americans.

Many Americans started practicing martial arts at home, and then they felt that Chinese Kung Fu was so simple. It's really easy to learn, but if they use it to fight..., well, maybe it's better than the five-shot lightning whip!
Zhang Yang didn't have time to pay attention to all this. He and his assistant bodyguard had already arrived at the Hollywood and Highland Center again, heading to the TCL Chinese Theater.

He looked up at the theater built in 1927, then looked at the TCL naming above and sighed to the assistant next to him: "This kind of naming can really boost the company's reputation."

The assistant did not answer Zhang Yang's words but pointed to the fingerprint on the top and introduced: "Many people have left their fingerprints here, including Feng Pants, Big Brother Cheng, Wu Yusen and others."

"It's all bells and whistles, what's the use?" Zhang Yang snorted.

As he was talking, someone came over to greet him.

"Hello, director."

"Hello." Zhang Yang glanced at her, isn't this the future Wonder Woman?
He remembered something again and asked, "Is the filming of "Fast and Furious 8" going smoothly after Statham returns?"

"Director, don't you know? Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel are quarreling. This is a major event in Hollywood recently.

And "Fast and Furious 8" didn't feature me. "Gal Gadot shrugged helplessly.

Zhang Yang saw that both 6 and 7 had her, but he didn't expect that 8 didn't have her.

"Really? I didn't pay attention." Zhang Yang apologized. At this time, he looked at Gale carefully and was even more surprised: "Are you pregnant?"

Her belly was already a little pregnant now.

"Yes, but this can't stop my love for movies."

Just as Zhang Yang was about to say more, his eldest brother Cheng and Stallone came over to greet him.

Phoenix arrived after a while, not alone yet.

After he greeted Zhang Yang, he pointed to the beautiful woman he was holding and introduced to Zhang Yang: "Director, this is my fiancée Rooney Mara."

Zhang Yang also greeted her and asked curiously: "When did you have a girlfriend?" When he and Zhang Yang worked together before, they were alone.

"I met her when we were working on the new movie Mary Magdalene."

At this time, Zhang Yang's bodyguard Xiao Zhao came over and reminded Zhang Yang in a low voice: "Director Zhang, you can go in."

Zhang Yang saw that it was not good to have so many people around him, so he clapped his hands and stretched out his hands: "Everyone, let's go in together!"

After he finished speaking, he and Phoenix took the lead to walk inside. When they entered the theater, they saw the entire venue. There were at least dozens of bodyguards.
There were dozens of bodyguards in a venue with more than 2000 seats, and the roads outside were controlled. It can be seen that Americans were indeed frightened by what happened in 12.

Zhang Yang then welcomed some directors and actors. At six o'clock in the afternoon, the premiere of "Joker" was about to begin.

Phoenix went up with his girlfriend from the movie, Zazie Beetz, and told the audience a little behind-the-scenes about the filming, and the movie officially started playing.

The movie explains the current situation of the city at the beginning. Gotham City's garbage transport employees have been on strike for eighteen days, and tens of thousands of tons of garbage are piled up on the streets.
Now, many people cannot find jobs and many shops are on the verge of closure. People are eager for the government to solve these problems.

Arthur works in a rental company called Haha. He will change into clown clothes and perform for people. On this day, his task is to advertise for the musical instrument store.

But this is Gotham City with simple folk customs after all. A few unemployed vagrants robbed Phoenix of his billboard and even ambushed and beat him up.

After the text title flashed on the screen, Arthur's laughter was heard, and the scene reappeared, showing him receiving psychological treatment.

Arthur has been receiving treatment for a period of time, and now the doctor wants to know whether his condition has improved.

But Arthur just wanted the doctor to give him stronger medicine.

After the treatment, Arthur took the bus back. A black child on the bus kept staring at him, so Arthur made him laugh with a good-natured comedy performance, but the child's mother reminded Phoenix not to molest her child.

Arthur laughed uncontrollably, and under the strange looks of the people around him, he took out his illness card.

He got a sorry that he had to accept.

The eldest brother Cheng was sitting next to Zhang Yang today. Seeing this, he felt extremely depressed and sad.

The eldest brother Cheng turned to Zhang Yang and asked: "Is the whole movie so uncomfortable?"

"You'll find out if you look down."

The eldest brother Cheng saw that Zhang Yang was still showing off, so he shook his head helplessly and continued reading.

Arthur got off the car and returned home. He lived with his mother.
Thirty years ago, his mother worked for Thomas Wayne, but now they had problems with food and clothing, so his mother often wrote to Wayne, hoping for help.

Arthur felt that Wayne, as the top man in Gotham City, didn't care about their life or death at all.

His mother felt that in such a chaotic moment, only Wayne could save them, and they owed it to them.

After the conversation between the two ended, they watched a talk show together. The host of the show was humorous and was Arthur's idol.

I don’t know if it was a fantasy or a memory in the movie, but Arthur also met the host himself on the show.

He told the host that as long as he could remember, he had been the head of the family and was responsible for taking care of his mother.

But he never felt hard. His mother always told him to smile. His mission is to bring joy to the world.

The host was moved by Arthur's speech and invited him to the stage, saying that he admired young people like Phoenix very much.
