Chapter 638: Tree, what do I need to do for you to choose me?
Wang Shu did not answer, but pretended to be stunned.

When Yang Mi saw that Wang Shu did not respond immediately, a look of disappointment and embarrassment flashed across her pretty face.

Soon, she gritted her teeth and said, "Director Wang, I like you!"

"I've liked you for a long time, but I never said it out loud."

When Wang Shu heard this, he thought, could it be that the long time ago refers to the time when he was still at the Beijing Film Academy?
While studying at the Beijing Film Academy, Yang Mi not only had a boyfriend, but also a bootlicker.

Could it be that you fell in love with someone else while you had a boyfriend?
Even though this is very common and true.

but.
Wang Shu turned around, touched Yang Mi's head, and said softly: "You are a good girl, but I want to focus on my career now."

Yang Mi opened her mouth when she heard that, only to feel something stuck in her throat.

She was a smart person and knew that this was a polite refusal for her.

However, even though I know this, I still hope for it.

Even moths will fly into flames, let alone humans.

Wang Shu is not only young, handsome, wealthy and charming, but also has the ability to promote actors to the international stage.

For both emotional and logical reasons, Yang Mi didn't want to give up.

She already had a good impression of Wang Shu and liked him.

Not to mention, Wang Shu can be of great help to her career.

It's absolutely the perfect object.

She didn't say anything, but threw herself into Wang Shu's arms, murmuring, "I like you! I really like you!"

Wang Shu touched Yang Mi's head and continued softly, "You are not only a good girl, but also very beautiful and with a good personality."

"It's just that I want to focus on my career right now and I don't have any plans to date."

When Yang Mi heard this, she hugged Wang Shu tightly.

She looked up at Wang Shu, her big eyes full of mist, and choked up and said, "I like you."

Wang Shu stroked Yang Mi's hair gently, showing his tenderness, and said, "But I..."

Before Wang Shu could finish speaking, Yang Mi suddenly stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the mouth.

As the saying goes, it only takes a little time for a girl to pursue a boy.

Although Wang Shu declined, Yang Mi still wanted to try.

Wang Shu did not respond, but pushed Yang Mi away.

Yang Mi's eyes were misty, she looked at him blankly with grievance, and choked up and said, "You obviously want to."

While she was kissing Wang Shu, her hands were also restless, and she clearly knew Wang Shu's reaction.

Wang Shu did not answer this question, but said again: "I said, I want to focus on my career now."

Yang Mi didn't say anything, but moved forward to kiss him again.

Wang Shu pushed Yang Mi away again and said impatiently: "I've already said it."

"I don't care!" Yang Mi yelled, interrupting Wang Shu's words, and then moved forward to kiss Wang Shu.

This time, Wang Shu finally softened his heart and did not push her away.

More than an hour later, Yang Mi left Wang Shu's villa and drove home.

However, while driving, tears welled up in my eyes.

Wang Shu focused on his career and the two did not confirm their relationship.

Despite this reason, Yang Mi could feel that Wang Shu did not love her.

If you love, then even if your career is your priority, you will agree to be friends.

Not like this.

It’s not that I don’t love you, or that I don’t love you enough!
Thursday, November 2010, 2.

Wang Shu is in Los Angeles.

"Shu, 'Jar of Love' has been recorded and will be released tomorrow." Taylor Swift called Wang Shu in New York.

"So fast?" Even though Stone had told him before that Taylor Swift was rushing to record a song, he was still a little surprised that it was completed so quickly.

“Haha, it’s been a few days and it’s not fast at all.” Taylor Swift said with a smile.

"Haha, then I wish you a good result." Wang Shu said with a smile.

"This song is great. I have confidence in it." Taylor Swift responded, and then immediately invited, "The song will be released tomorrow, and there will be a party the day after tomorrow. Do you want to come?"

"I'm afraid not. I have work to do," said Wang Shu.

"Movie casting?" Taylor Swift asked.

"No, I'm going to attend the British Academy Film Awards ceremony on the 21st," Wang Shu explained.

There are two films, "Pacific Rim" and "Life of Pi". "Pacific Rim" was not nominated, but "Life of Pi" was nominated.

“Oh, yes, it’s the movie awards season now.” Taylor Swift suddenly realized.

After Christmas, Hollywood enters awards season.

The more famous ones are the Oscars, Golden Globe Awards, and British Academy Film Awards, in addition there are various association awards.

Some of Pacific Rim's films were nominated, while others were not.

"Life of Pi" was not only nominated at all major award ceremonies, but also won many awards.

Although the Oscars and British Academy Film Awards have not yet begun, there are only three films that are most likely to win the awards.

The first is Cameron’s ex-wife’s “The Hurt Locker”, the second is Cameron’s “Avatar”, and the third is Wang Shu’s “Life of Pi”.

Among them, "The Hurt Locker" is the most competitive.

Although this movie is just average, its content is to the taste of those old guys at the American Film Institute.

In the original timeline, it was this film that swept all major awards at the British Academy Film Awards and the Academy Awards, becoming the biggest winner.

He was venting his anger for losing to "Avatar" at the Golden Globe Awards.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Next time, we'll get together again when we have time."

“Yeah,” Taylor Swift replied with a smile, “I’ll go to Los Angeles to see you when I have time.”

"Anytime." Wang Shu said with a smile.

“Anytime? What if you’re not here?” Taylor Swift teased.

Wang Shu smiled and continued, "When I say anytime, I mean when I'm in Los Angeles and have time."

Taylor Swift snorted: "I thought I could find you anytime."

She bit the word anytime.

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed and said, "You can come anytime if you want, but I may not be here."

After that, he immediately added, "Let's not talk anymore. I still have work to do."

“Okay, you’re busy.” Taylor Swift responded.

After hanging up the phone with Taylor Swift, Wang Shu tidied up the apartment.

After a while, the doorbell rang. It was Anne Hathaway who came to visit.

"Tree." Anne Hathaway whispered.

She was holding a gift, a bottle of wine.

"Annie." Wang Shu responded with a smile and led the other party in.

Anne Hathaway put the wine she brought on the coffee table, then looked around the apartment and said with a smile, "Shu, the apartment is not bad."

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed and asked, "Would you like water or coffee?" "Coffee." Anne Hathaway smiled.

Wang Shu turned around and made a cup of coffee for Anne Hathaway, and then brought over some blueberry pie and apple pie.

Anne Hathaway didn't hesitate to pick up the blueberry pie and tasted it.

"Mmm~ Blueberry pie is good, very delicious."

Wang Shu smiled, picked up the apple pie beside him and started eating.

Anne Hathaway's eyes fell on Wang Shu, and she asked with a faint smile: "Shu, will you go to the British Academy Film Awards ceremony?"

Of course she knew that "Life of Pi" had been nominated, but this award season, Wang Shu did not attend many award ceremonies.

"Go." Wang Shu responded.

Anne Hathaway nodded, then smiled and asked, "Are you confident that you can win the Best Picture?"

She didn't ask about the Best Director award, which meant she assumed that Wang Shu would most likely win the award.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Of course I have confidence, but there are so many excellent works and the competition is too fierce. Whether I can win the award in the end depends on the organizing committee."

The two chatted for a while and then talked about wine.

Wang Shu opened the wine that Anne Hathaway brought and poured some for each of them.

Anne Hathaway took a few sips and finally said why she came: "Shu, I passed Paramount's preliminary selection, and the next step is the final selection."

"It's just that I heard that there are several actors who passed the preliminary selection. I hope you can choose me."

She knew that although Wang Shu did not have the power to directly decide on the actors, his opinion was very important.

For example, if she is competing with several actors at the same time, if Wang Shu chooses her, then she has a great chance of getting the role.

When Wang Shu heard this, he immediately put on an awkward look and said, "Annie."

He met Anne Hathaway's eyes and then said, "To be honest, you are not my choice for the heroine."

In fact, he wanted to create the film according to the original crew of Nolan's version of "Interstellar", and Anne Hathaway was the heroine.

However, there is no need to reveal your inner thoughts in advance.

"Ah?" Anne Hathaway was a little panicked when she heard this, and asked in surprise, "Who is your candidate?"

"Natalie." Wang Shu did not hide it and said the name directly.

Anne Hathaway opened her mouth when she heard the name.

Natalie Portman is one of her competitors.

Thousands of words finally turned into a bitter smile.

She is well aware that she has no advantage over Natalie Portman.

so.
With a slightly bitter look on his face, he sighed, "It turned out to be Natalie."

After that, he asked curiously, "Did you recommend her to Paramount?"

"No." Wang Shu responded.

"No?" Anne Hathaway asked in confusion.

Since Wang Shu was interested in Natalie Portman, why didn't he recommend her to Paramount?
Wang Shu smiled and explained: "I did recommend the leading male and female actors to Paramount before, but I recommended a Chinese actress for the female lead."

Anne Hathaway suddenly realized what was going on. As far as she knew, no Chinese actor had passed the initial audition, so she asked, "It was your friend in China who found you. You couldn't refuse?"

"I guess so." Wang Shu responded ambiguously.

At the same time, hope was rekindled in Anne Hathaway's heart.

Since Wang Shu did not recommend Natalie Portman to Paramount, she does not necessarily have an advantage.

Anne Hathaway took a sip of red wine, looked at Wang Shu with burning eyes, and recommended herself: "Shu, you can actually consider me."

"Uh" Wang Shu hesitated to speak, looking like he wanted to refuse but was unable to do so.

Seeing this, Anne Hathaway stood up, walked to Wang Shu and sat on his lap.

He put his arm around Wang Shu's shoulders and whispered, "Shu, what do I need to do for you to choose me?"

Anne Hathaway has always wanted to get rid of the screen image of a sweet princess. The movies she has taken part in in recent years have indeed helped her change her screen image and expand her acting range, but there is a lack of a high-quality blockbuster starring her that can make the final statement.

If it were some smaller productions, a popular actress like Anne Hathaway would not be like this.

But Wang Shu is not only an Oscar-winning director, but "Interstellar" is also a project left over by Spielberg.

Plus, Paramount invested in the production.

Everyone knows that this movie must be a high-quality blockbuster.

It is also because of this that Natalie Portman and others came to audition for the role.

"Annie." Wang Shu opened his mouth, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Anne Hathaway could see that the man was hesitant to speak, not because he wanted to tell her what to do, but because he wanted to refuse but didn't know how to say it.

In order to prevent Wang Shu from continuing to speak, Anne Hathaway immediately covered Wang Shu's mouth with her hand and whispered: "Shu"

……

More than two hours later, Anne Hathaway left Wang Shu's apartment.

The next day, Wang Shu went to Paramount and hosted the audition with the Paramount people.

For the male lead, he chose Matthew McConaughey, whom he had previously recommended to Paramount, and for the female lead, he chose Anne Hathaway.

Linda Obst was a little surprised that Wang Shu chose Anne Hathaway, and couldn't help asking: "Shu, can you tell me why you chose Anne Hathaway?"

Wang Shu saw that everyone was looking at him, and he said calmly, "First of all, Anne Hathaway is a popular actress. Secondly, she has changed some screen images through movies like Brokeback Mountain and Batman."

"Having her play the leading female role will not only create topics, but also create a sense of contrast and anticipation."

"Plus, her image also fits the heroine in the script very well."

"Therefore, I recommend her to play the role of the heroine in Interstellar."

Linda Obst nodded and continued to discuss with others.

As a director and scriptwriter, Wang Shu's opinion is still very important.

It can even be said that his opinion is the most important among all the people present.

As long as the actors recommended by Wang Shu are reasonable, it can basically be decided.

After a day of audition and discussion, the role has been preliminarily determined.

However, "Interstellar" is a film with huge investment after all, and many aspects need to be carefully considered.

So it is just a preliminary decision, and we need to consider it further.

At the same time, Taylor Swift's single "Jar of Love" was released.

At first, many people didn't notice.

As the popularity grew, people gradually noticed that the composer of "Jar of Love" was Wang Shu.

Nowadays, if you follow Taylor Swift, you must know who Wang Shu is.

The scene where Wang Shu stood up for Taylor Swift at the MTV Music Awards is still vivid in our minds. Anyone who follows Taylor Swift has seen this scene and knows that Wang Shu is an Oscar-winning director.

However, it is precisely because Wang Shu is an Oscar-winning director that it is particularly surprising.

You are obviously a film director, why do you also write lyrics and compose music?
It's really incredible and unexpected!
At the same time, there are also gossipers.

Wang Shu not only stood up for Taylor Swift at the music awards ceremony, but now he also writes songs for her
Could it be?

Could it be?
