China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 415 Let’s Go

After dealing with Anna Faris for a while, Wang Shu finally found an opportunity to leave.

Hollywood actresses are so fierce that Wang Shu really wants to go home.

Here, he is often the one being teased and seduced by the female stars.

Although domestic entertainment is also fun, at least there is some "restraint".

This reserve lies in the fact that except for some female stars who will take the initiative to throw themselves into the arms of big men, they will at least pretend in other situations.

The man takes the initiative to flirt with her, and the actress pretends to be a white lotus and is a little reserved, and then they do it together.

It's not about hooking up or developing into a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, but just doing it for the fun of it.

It’s different in Hollywood. Both male and female artists are very proactive.

Regardless of whether they are men or women, they will confidently approach and chat with someone they are interested in.

At this party, not only Anna Faris approached Wang Shu to talk to him, but many actresses also approached him, and even some male artists flirted with him.

Wang Shu was busy all the time.

He also knew that the main reason why he was so popular was that the gatherings that Stone was able to attend were all composed of small artists.

He is a well-known director with achievements. For these small artists, he has connections that can help their careers, so he will naturally be favored.

Among these people, there are only a few big-name stars like Anna Faris.

When Anna Faris was talking to Wang Shu, it wasn't that no one saw it, but no one interrupted them, precisely because Anna Faris was a big-name actress among these people.

And she is indeed a big-name actress.

Since becoming famous for starring in "Scream", Anna Faris has always been a popular American actress.

She is just a popular actress, not a talented one.

Its positioning is similar to that of Tang Yan, Li Shishi, and Yang Mi, who became famous in "Chinese Paladin 3".
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" is a fairy tale drama, which can be considered a genre drama.

"Scream" is an R-rated movie, which can also be considered a genre film.

Since Tang Yan became famous in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3", she has always played the role of a silly and innocent girl.

Since Anna Faris became famous for "Scary Movies", her acting style has been fixed on "sexually suggestive" comedy movies.

Although she tried to transform herself, she failed.

As for popularity, of course it is.

In terms of strength, it's quite bad.

But this is also very American actor.

There are only a handful of talented American actors.

Most of them are actors with no talent like Anna Faris.

For Anna Faris, the most direct and effective way to transform and expand her acting range is to star in art films.

Moreover, it has to be an art film that has the potential to win awards.

It's useless to just star in an art film if you can't win any awards.

Wang Shu is a director who won the Best Director Award at the Venice Film Festival and came to Hollywood to collaborate with Matt Damon on an art film.

Actresses like Anna Faris who want to transform and broaden her acting range to go higher and further will naturally pay attention to and favor directors like Wang Shu who have achieved success in the field of art films.

Anna Faris did not approach Wang Shu because she was curious about the 22-year-old oriental director who came to the party, but because of Wang Shu's identity as the winner of the Venice Best Director Award.

If Wang Shu was a small-time director with no achievements, Anna Faris, with her status, would not have wasted her time even looking at him.

"Aren't you having a great time chatting with Anna? Why are you leaving with me?"

After the two of them finished their party, Sister Shitou looked at Wang Shu and teased him in a sour tone.

Wang Shu did not answer this question. Instead, he reached out and pulled Sister Shi Tou to his side, hugged her, and then kissed her.

Stone Sister also drank a lot of wine. Not only did she not resist Wang Shu's actions, she also forgot about the previous questions and responded enthusiastically.

Fortunately, it was dark and there was no one around, and no cameras, so even if they were outdoors and even if they were kissing passionately, they didn't have to worry about being caught.

After kissing for a long time, the two finally separated their lips.

At this moment, under the influence of alcohol, both of them were aroused.

Wang Shu patted Stone Sister's head calmly. Stone Sister understood what he meant immediately and squatted down.

After squatting for a long time, she was tired. Sister Shitou couldn't help but utter the pitiful voice of Wang Erdi, looking up: "Why don't you come to my place?"

"Okay." Wang Shu touched Sister Shi Tou's hair and agreed softly.

When he arrived at Stone Sister's residence, before he could even take a look, Stone Sister had already thrown herself into Wang Shu's arms.

Seeing that Sister Shitou was so impatient, Wang Shu had no choice but to respond.

The dry wood and fire burned fiercely.

More than an hour later, Sister Stone fell into a deep sleep.

I had drunk quite a bit of wine and had been busy for over an hour, so I was tired and fell asleep.

Wang Shu held Sister Shitou in his arms and fell asleep soon.

While sleeping, he always felt someone calling him.

Wang Shu opened his eyes and suddenly found that it was Sister Shitou who was anxiously trying to wake him up.

Seeing Wang Shu wake up, Sister Shitou breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly, "Shu, my boyfriend is coming this morning, you should go back quickly."

I drank a lot of wine last night, and under the double anesthesia of desire and alcohol, I forgot about this matter for a while. When I woke up this morning, I suddenly thought of my boyfriend coming, and I panicked.

Seeing that Shi Tou Jie was so anxious, Wang Shu knew it was not a good idea to stay any longer.

But just as he got dressed and prepared to go out, the doorbell rang.

Shi Tou and Wang Shu looked at each other and knew without hesitation that their boyfriends had arrived.

Shitou was at a loss for a moment, then she whispered to Wang Shu, "Hide under the bed first, and don't make a sound."

Wang Shu also knew that there was no other good way, so he hid under the bed without saying a word.

Fortunately, the space under the bed in Stone's apartment was empty, otherwise there would be no place to hide.

Seeing that Wang Shu was hiding, Sister Shi Tou controlled her emotions and went to open the door calmly.

Wang Shu spent the days like years under the bed, thinking that if Stone Sister had gone to his apartment instead of coming to Stone Sister's apartment yesterday, he would not have encountered this kind of thing.

He was thinking, if he was caught by Stone's boyfriend and he got angry and wanted to beat him, should he resist?
Or not resist?
According to the laws in the United States, is resistance in such a situation considered legitimate defense?
He was not sure about the laws in the United States, but in the mainland, it might be considered as self-defense. Whether it was self-defense or mutual fighting was determined by the value of the identity.

However, as long as you do not resist and are beaten, you can ask for compensation afterwards.

Just as he was daydreaming, Sister Stone came back. She patted the edge of the bed and said quickly, "Come out. It's not my boyfriend. It's the staff here. Come out quickly. My boyfriend should be here soon."

Wang Shu breathed a sigh of relief after hearing what Sister Shitou said.

He had prepared himself for the mental struggle and was ready to come out from under the bed if found by Stone's boyfriend. If the other party dared to make a move, he would knock him down with one punch.

Wang Shu is confident in his physical fitness and feels there should be no problem.

Who knew, it was just a false alarm.

Wang Shu just came out from under the bed and immediately left her apartment at Sister Shitou's urging.

"Shu, see you later." Sister Shitou winked at Wang Shu and shouted.

"Okay, bye." Wang Shu smiled back and left with Sister Shitou's gaze.

After Thanksgiving, it was mid-December and Wang Shu received a call from Anna Faris, asking her out for coffee.

Wang Shu thought it was no big deal, and since he had just arrived in Hollywood, it would be awkward for him to reject the popular American actor, so he agreed.

The two sat opposite each other in the cafe. This time they didn't drink. Anna Faris maintained a dignified demeanor instead of being unruly.

"Shu, after the Golden Globe nominations were announced, 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' and 'The Tuner' received the highest support. It seems like you have a great chance of winning the award this time?" Anna Faris took a sip of coffee and said with a smile.

The Golden Globe Awards is an American film and television awards ceremony held in the form of a formal dinner hosted by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

Held annually since 1944, the final result is determined by voting among 96 journalists (about two-thirds of whom are part-time).

Until 2003, the Golden Globe Awards were held a few days before the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences voted for the Oscars.

Since 2003, the Golden Globe Awards have been held in mid-January each year to distinguish them from the Academy Awards held in late February.

The 2008 awards ceremony was postponed due to the Writers Guild of America strike.

In the United States, this award is second only to the Academy Awards in the film category.

Wang Shuxin wondered why Anna Faris suddenly asked him out for coffee, and it turned out that the nominated films for the Golden Globe Awards had been announced.

Generally speaking, the registration deadline for the Golden Globe Awards is at the end of November, and the nominations for the shortlisted films are announced in early December.

Before Wang Shu could reply, Anna Faris immediately said, "But regardless of whether or not we can win an award, the fact that The Tuner and The Wolf of Wall Street were nominated shows that you are amazing."

After saying that, he gave Wang Shu a thumbs up.

As a work that was made in response to the financial crisis, "The Wolf of Wall Street" should be the film with the highest chance of winning an award in the current atmosphere in the United States.

There is no movement now, for the same reason as "Slumdog Millionaire", the film has not yet been released.

Few people have seen the film, so naturally there can be no popular support.

"The Wolf of Wall Street" has been scheduled to be released on January 2009, 1, the same day as "Slumdog Millionaire".

However, Slumdog Millionaire premiered in the UK and The Wolf of Wall Street premiered in the US.

In the original timeline, after the nominations for the 2009th Golden Globe Awards were announced in 66, the film with the highest chance of winning the award was "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" directed by David Fincher.

However, on the day of the awards ceremony, it unexpectedly lost to "Slumdog Millionaire".

"Slumdog Millionaire" premiered on January 1 and the Golden Globe Awards ceremony was held on January 9, just two days apart.

Now, "The Wolf of Wall Street" also premieres on Friday, January 1, two days after the Golden Globe Awards ceremony.

Moreover, "Slumdog Millionaire" not only won the Golden Globe Awards for Best Picture - Drama, Best Director, Best Original Score, and Best Screenplay, but also won 6 Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

In the original timeline, this film received a lot of hype after winning the award, but in reality it was just a "magical" romance film that viewed India from a "curiosity" perspective of the West.

It can also be called a "fairy tale" romance film made by India from the West's "curiosity" perspective.

Therefore, many people call it the weakest Oscar-winning film in recent years.

Wang Shu heard this and said with a smile: "Compared to The Piano Tuner, I think The Wolf of Wall Street has a better chance of winning an award."

"Slumdog Millionaire" has been hailed as the weakest Academy Award-winning film in recent years, and "The Wolf of Wall Street" is a realistic biographical film that is in line with the current financial crisis in the United States.

Under normal circumstances, there is no reason why it can't beat "Slumdog Millionaire".

Therefore, Wang Shu has a certain degree of confidence in both the 09 Golden Globe Awards and the Academy Awards.

Before the US financial crisis broke out, he was quite unimpressed about winning the award.

Because he is a Chinese-language film director who has just arrived in Hollywood, no matter how good his films are, they will inevitably be suppressed, and it will not be his turn to win an award as soon as he arrives.

Now, as the impact of the financial crisis grows, he has begun to gain confidence.

It is undeniable that under normal circumstances, it is indeed difficult for him to win awards.

But with the global financial crisis, everything is uncertain.

"Ah? The Wolf of Wall Street?" Anna Faris was confused when she heard it.

She had not seen the movie and did not know the content of "The Wolf of Wall Street", so she did not know why Wang Shu was more confident about the movie.

"The Piano Tuner" has twists and turns again and again, winning recognition and praise from many people. Logically, Wang Shu should have confidence in this film with higher acclaim.

Why The Wolf of Wall Street?
Is it some kind of black technology?

Wang Shu smiled and said, "I don't know how to tell you right now, but The Wolf of Wall Street will be released next month. I'll give you some movie tickets then, and you'll know when you go to the theater."

Anna Faris heard Wang Shu say this and didn't want to ask any more questions, so she smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go to the cinema then."

After saying that, she winked at Wang Shu charmingly and said with a smile, "Don't forget the movie tickets."

Seeing this, Wang Shu couldn't help but complain in his heart, you're about to get engaged to Star-Lord, and now you're still flirting with other men?
I just finished complaining in my heart, and then I reflected that I was wrong.

This is America, and it’s America’s entertainment industry.

This is a very common occurrence and nothing to be surprised about.

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed heartily and said, "No, I promise."

Anna Faris smiled with satisfaction when she heard Wang Shu say that, and then asked, "Shu, you have been in Los Angeles for several months. Where do you live now?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Shu did not hide anything and told the other party the apartment where he lived.

Anna Faris blinked and smiled when she heard this: "It's quite close to here. Anyway, I have nothing to do now. How about taking me over to have a look?"

Wang Shu had no reason to refuse, so he stood up and said, "Okay, let's go."

Anna Faris saw Wang Shu's actions and stood up to follow him.
