China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 660 I live alone, come to my house?

Directors like Wang Shu who can make money by making movies are definitely sought after by producers in Hollywood.

Many well-known Hollywood producers have lowered their posture and tried their best to seek cooperation with him.

These producers get the movie scripts and then seek investment.

After getting investment, find a director and actors to form a crew.

Therefore, directors who can make money by making movies and not flop, as well as popular actors, are all sought after by them.

Some even kneel down and call someone daddy in order to achieve cooperation.

"Shu, I heard that Matthew and the others are having a great time in China?" Anne Hathaway walked over and spoke with a faint smile.

"That should be the case." Wang Shu replied with a smile, and then continued, "It's you who didn't come, but it's not that I didn't invite you."

Anne Hathaway pouted and said, "I have a schedule and can't go to China."

Wang Shu thought for a moment and said, "Interstellar will be promoted in China before it is released. There will be a chance then. I will take you around Beijing then."

Yikeshu Company participated in the investment of "Interstellar". Although this is a movie aimed at the European and American markets, it will not give up the domestic market.

All in all, a global release.

Paramount, as well as other distribution companies, are responsible for the distribution of films in other parts of the world except mainland China.

Yikeshu Company contacted China Film Group, which was responsible for the domestic distribution of "Interstellar".

At that time, it will be released simultaneously in several regions around the world.

Anne Hathaway's eyes lit up when she heard that, and she smiled happily, "Shu, you said that, don't forget it when the time comes."

"No." Wang Shu replied with a smile.

Anne Hathaway bit her lip and suddenly leaned close to Wang Shu's ear and whispered, "I'll go to your place after the cocktail party."

After saying this, without waiting for Wang Shu to answer, he walked away with light steps.

"Shu." Jessica Chastain, who played the adult Murphy, also came over and greeted Wang Shu.

"Jessica." Wang Shu responded with a smile, and then they hugged each other again.

In the original timeline, this actress won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in 2013 and the Academy Award for Best Actress in 2022. She is considered a relatively capable American actress.

However, it is now 2010, and without more than ten years of experience, his acting skills are bound to be relatively lacking.

Jessica Chastain smiled and said, "Shu, I just saw a lot of producers talking to you, how is it? What are your plans after this drama?"

Wang Shu smiled and said, "I'm still considering it."

Hearing this, Jessica Chastain smiled back and said, "Shu, if you have any projects, don't forget me."

Wang Shu heard this and said politely: "If there is a role suitable for you, I will call you to audition."

Jessica Chastain pursed her lips when she heard this. She knew in her heart that a big director like Wang Shu could actually decide who would play the leading role even if it was a commercial film.

Of course, it's not just about picking any actor, but deciding who to play the role from among the many well-known actors in Hollywood.

Because for the producers, the main consideration is whether the actor is well-known and whether he has box office appeal. As long as these are met, Wang Shu can decide who will star in the film.

If it is an art film, Wang Shu, as the director, can basically designate the actors to perform.

"Shu~" Jessica Chastain looked at Wang Shu with shining eyes and called out softly, as if she wanted to say something but stopped.

The Academy Award for Actors is the lifelong pursuit of many Hollywood actors. Everyone wants to be successful and the center of attention.

Wang Shu is a famous director who has won the Oscar for Best Director for consecutive years.

All Hollywood actors know that if they can star in an art film directed by Wang Shu, they have a chance of winning an Oscar.

Jessica Chastain is also aware of this.

But how to get Wang Shu's favor and get a role in an art film directed by Wang Shu became a new problem.

However, places like Hollywood do have conventional ways to solve this problem.

The simplest and most direct way.

Just sleep!

When I wake up, I have everything.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "If there is a role suitable for you, I will contact you."

Jessica Chastain pursed her lips again and whispered in Wang Shu's ear: "I live alone, come to my house tonight?"

Wang Shu calmly replied, "I'll go there again when I have the chance."

Jessica Chastain looked embarrassed when she heard this.

Her words were already a very direct hint, and she didn't believe that Wang Shu didn't understand.

Wang Shu noticed Jessica Chastain’s embarrassment and said with a smile: “I have something tonight.”

Jessica Chastain reacted after hearing what she said. The embarrassment on her face disappeared, and she smiled and said sweetly, "You are welcome to come anytime."

Wang Shu was about to respond when Matthew McConaughey and others came over.

"Trees," Matthew McConaughey greeted.

"Matthew." Wang Shu responded.

Then, several people started chatting with each other.

…………

After the wrap party, Wang Shu returned to the apartment, followed closely by Anne Hathaway.

It’s not that Wang Shu wanted to reject Jessica Chastain, but he really didn’t have time.

Of course, the main thing is that he doesn't have any thoughts about Jessica Chastain.

"Tree."

As soon as she returned to the apartment, Anne Hathaway hugged Wang Shu.

then……

The next day, Anne Hathaway left the apartment.

Wang Shu slept in and went out to a restaurant in the evening.

"Director Wang." Liu Yifei's eyes lit up when she saw Wang Shu.

"Xixi." Wang Shu called Liu Yifei's nickname.

Liu Yifei lives in Los Angeles, and will return to Los Angeles to live as long as she does not have a job in the country.

Therefore, when Wang Shu came to Hollywood, he was able to meet her often.

At the beginning of the year, Liu Yifei returned to China for a while for a play, and now she is back in Los Angeles.

Wang Shu happened to be in Los Angeles as well, and they made an appointment to have dinner together over the phone.

As they were eating Western food, Liu Yifei looked up and asked, "Shu, are you going to stay in Los Angeles or return to China?"

While eating Western food, Wang Shu replied, "I'm still considering it."

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and asked, "Are you very confused?"

Wang Shu nodded and said without hiding anything: "Logically, I should stay in Hollywood to develop my career, but my country has also told me that they hope I can return to China to film."

When Liu Yifei heard this, she couldn't help but think of her own experience in China, and said quietly: "I really envy you, I don't have such treatment."

Wang Shu smiled gently and said comfortingly: "Isn't your development in China now on the right track? In fact, it's all the same."

Liu Yifei pouted and didn't respond.

Although she is now developing again in China, her resources come from the Hong Kong circle and state-owned enterprises such as China Film, while the Beijing circle has excluded her.

Then he asked, "So what are your plans? Are you going back home, or are you going to stay here?"

"Didn't you just say you were still considering it?" Wang Shu continued.

"Oh~" Liu Yifei pursed her lips in response, and then asked, "Then which side do you prefer?"

"I don't know." Wang Shu sighed, "I think either one is fine, so I'm confused." "Okay." Liu Yifei replied self-pityingly, "I don't have the same worries as you, even if I want to have them, I don't have them."

"Haha." Wang Shu laughed and said jokingly, "Why are you acting like a grudge?"

When Liu Yifei heard this, she immediately looked fierce and waved her fists to express her dissatisfaction.

He just pretended, glared at me, and then went on eating his Western food.

After eating a few bites of Western food, Liu Yifei suddenly asked, "Shu, what do you think of my acting skills?"

"Not bad." Wang Shu said politely.

Liu Yifei pouted when she heard that, and then asked, "So what do you think of my singing?"

"It's okay." Wang Shu continued to say polite words.

When Liu Yifei heard this, she felt that Wang Shu's answer was too perfunctory and couldn't help but pouting.

Seeing this, Wang Shu could only continue to comfort him: "It's really all right."

"But it would be better to be either a singer or an actor."

"If you try to do both, you're probably going to end up pleasing neither."

“It’s better to specialize in one.”

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and said, "So, this is why you don't release an album?"

"..." Wang Shu was speechless for a moment, then said, "I never thought of becoming a singer."

"In the past, I only made cameo appearances when there was a need."

When Liu Yifei heard this, she thought of herself and asked, "Do you think your singing skills are not good enough?"

Wang Shu knew why the other party asked this question, and asked back with a smile: "Do you think your singing skills are average?"

Liu Yifei curled her lips and then nodded.

She and Zhang Liangying are good friends and sometimes go karaoke together.

Through Zhang Liangying, I clearly felt the gap between myself and professional singers.

Not to mention, there are many singers who are more professional than Zhang Liangying.

This made Liu Yifei clearly realize how difficult it would be for her to make it in the music industry.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Then give up being a singer and concentrate on acting."

Liu Yifei curled her lips when she heard this and snorted, "You haven't told me yet, are you also a bad singer?"

Wang Shu nodded and said, "My singing skills are really not that good, so I didn't think about developing in the music industry."

Liu Yifei heard this and said with some jealousy: "Since you don't want to develop in the music industry, why are you still writing songs for Taylor?"

Wang Shu smiled and said, "I didn't write that song for her. I just wrote it down when I was sitting on the toilet and got inspired."

"It was just me at a small party at the apartment and Taylor came over with Emma and saw the song and bought it."

"I wouldn't have had the idea of ​​releasing a song before I came here, and since Taylor wanted to buy it, I might as well sell it to her."

Liu Yifei suddenly understood what he said, then blinked her eyes, pretending to be a money-grubber, and asked with a smile, "How much did you sell it for?"

She had no doubts about the small gathering that Wang Shu mentioned.

Because here, many people hold small gatherings at home.

Let alone, the famous Hollywood director Cameron held a party at his home and invited some actors and producers.

"One hundred thousand dollars." Wang Shu said a number.

"So expensive?" Although Liu Yifei was a wealthy woman, she was still surprised to hear the price.

Wang Shu smiled and said, "Taylor liked this song very much, so she offered a high price. Seeing her sincerity, I sold it to her immediately."

When Liu Yifei heard this, she said quietly, "I was planning to ask you on behalf of Liang Ying if you have any other unreleased songs. Forget the $100,000 price."

"Liang Ying?" Wang Shu pretended to be confused.

"It's Zhang Liangying, you may not know who she is." Liu Yifei continued.

Wang Shu nodded. A big director like him really shouldn't know who this person is.

So I asked, "Is she a singer?"

"Yes, a singer from the mainland." Liu Yifei nodded.

Wang Shu nodded and said nothing more.

Liu Yifei blinked and asked, "So... do you have any unpublished songs?"

Wang Shu smiled and replied, "One hundred thousand dollars, no bargaining."

Liu Yifei was surprised when she heard this and asked, "You really have it?"

"No." Wang Shu continued, "But since I'm your friend, I can write one for you for $100,000."

When Liu Yifei heard this, she pouted and said, "Forget it then."

"Haha." Wang Shu smiled.

Liu Yifei thought for a moment and asked, "Can it be cheaper?"

"What do you think?" Wang Shu asked.

After hearing this, Liu Yifei stopped talking.

Wang Shunai is a famous director who has won the Oscar for Best Director for many years and is worth a lot of money in his own right.

One hundred thousand dollars for a song seems like a sky-high price.

But if it was done by Wang Shu, it is not impossible.

Although Wang Shu is not a songwriter or producer, the fact that "Jar Of Love" topped the North American Billboard chart proves that Wang Shu has the corresponding qualifications.

The two stopped talking about these topics and turned to other topics.

Before we knew it, dinner was over and we said goodbye to each other and went home.

After returning to the apartment, Wang Shu took a shower and lay down on the bed to sleep.

In the next few days, he did not rush back home, but enjoyed the rare free time.

Christine learned he was in Los Angeles and visited his apartment once.

Wang Shu is very brave. Many women who have talked to him about their ideals in life will want to talk again after not having talked for a while.

As the saying goes, you will know the taste only after you taste the marrow.

Kristen, that's it.

Wang Shu felt that he had done a good thing unknowingly.

Because in the original timeline, Kristen slowly came out.

As a woman, having a girlfriend...

Today, Kristen may never come out.

Christine has been living with her family and did not stay at Wang Shu's apartment.

The day after she left, Sister Stone also came to Wang Shu's apartment.

Taylor Swift did not go out with Stone because of work schedule.

As an actress who wants to climb the Hollywood ladder, Stone must have wanted to cultivate her relationship with Wang Shu so that she could get movie roles in the future.

Therefore, Stone Sister usually came to Wang Shu's apartment on her own initiative.

Moreover, other aspects are also very proactive.

After all, Stone is not an actor from Disney like Anne Hathaway, but an actor who came to Los Angeles in her teens to play supporting roles and climbed up step by step.

So, relatively speaking, we know how to take the initiative to strive for things.
