Big names rise

Song Xuan told He Mu that although Jeff was in charge of Lionsgate's publicity and distribution, this time he strongly requested to participate in the production of "Cold Heart", and now he should be busy contacting the actors. According to him, he has basically Finished the work of Joseph Gordon.

He Mu said "Oh", it seems that the brother-in-law is really interesting, he is trying to support his rhythm to the end, Hollywood implements the producer system, and usually the producer has more authority over a movie than the director Well, as a producer, it's too easy for Jeff to take care of his brother-in-law. Of course, the premise is that He Mu can join the crew of "Cold Heart".

He Mu still has a certain understanding of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. He was born as a child star and is of Jewish descent. When he was a teenager, he starred in the famous sitcom "Mars hits the Earth" and played a Martian pretending to be a Jewish boy. People, who were popular all over the country at that time, were very famous little idols. The most rare thing is that Joseph broke the child star curse that countless child stars had a headache for. After growing up, he was still active in the film and television industry, and he did well. In the first half of the year, "Five Hundred Days with Summer" was well received, making this handsome guy with an embarrassing face once again a popular literary niche in Hollywood, and has participated in "The Rise of Special Forces Cobra" and Christopher Nolan The new film "Inception" is very optimistic about the stardom.

Lionsgate is good at low-budget thrillers, and Wen Ziren’s works are also low-budget horror movies. The actors in his movies don’t need to be famous, as long as they can act. As for becoming famous, they will definitely become famous after acting in his plays up.

This time Jeff recruited Joseph to play the male lead. First of all, the cost of this film will not be too small.Joseph's salary alone is estimated to exceed the cost of several "Chain Saw", and secondly, Jeff's ambition can also be seen.Joseph has a wider audience in the United States. He has participated in both literary and commercial productions. Jeff is not reconciled to simply positioning "Cold Heart" as a horror film, which limits its potential. "Father" Wen Ziren can attract fans of thrillers, and with Joseph, he can also attract fans of other audiences. In Hollywood where genre films are mature, sometimes pornographic genre films can have a miraculous effect.

It's been two days since Christmas.However, Song Xuan's family still maintains the atmosphere of Christmas, just like the Chinese celebrate the New Year, but it's only fifteen.The taste of the year can never go away. Christmas in the United States has the same status as the Spring Festival in China. Under the guidance of Song Xuan, the three of He Mu visited her home and got a basic understanding of American culture.Including food culture.

He Mu visited Song Xuan's kitchen.Seeing the half turkey that was ready to serve them, American food is indeed very monotonous and rubbish. Even though Song Xuan, who has lived here for nearly ten years, still firmly believes that what she misses is the taste of Chinese food. It's a pity that it is difficult to eat authentic Chinese food in the United States. Most of the Chinese restaurants in Chinatown have been modified to suit the tastes of foreigners. Song Xuan is a standard female scholar.She really didn't learn much from her mother's kitchen skills, but today is a blessing.She bought a lot of ingredients and waited for He Mu to start. In her heart, He Mu's cooking skills are not inferior to those five-star chefs in China.

After He Mu disposed of a few prawns, Jeff came back, and there was a bald middle-aged man with him. After learning that He Mu was preparing dinner for them, Jeff was displeased with Song. Xuan said, "How can Xiao Mu be allowed to do such a thing? This is not the way of hospitality!" I have to say that Jeff has learned a lot about Chinese culture, and he also knows what hospitality is.

He Mu stuck out his head from the kitchen, and said with a smile: "My sister Xuan has been in the United States for a long time, and I have long forgotten the traditional Chinese virtues, and I also want to eat better for myself, Jeff, you can leave me alone." I have." I have to say that after mastering the skill of cooking, people are very popular wherever they go.

After hearing her husband's reprimand, Song Xuan glared at him, then ran into the kitchen, "I'll help Xiao Mu, Xiao Nan will follow."

Now only Jeff, Datang, and the middle-aged man brought back by Jeff are left in the living room. Jeff greets Datang first, and then introduces them to each other, "This is Mr. Datang, a famous agent in China. He is a composer and producer, and he is an all-around talent... This is Robin Binance, the gold medal producer of Lionsgate Films, and the two of us will be in charge of "Cold Heart" this time."

"Oh, Hello."

"Hello."

Datang and Robin shook hands briefly, and he immediately understood that Jeff had told him before that in theory he and Robin should have the final say on who the second male lead of "Cold Heart" should be, but their execution President Jon Filheimer, in order to prevent Jeff from favoring the He Mu recommended by him, therefore handed over the choice of main roles other than the leading actor to Robin and director Wen Ziren, and the person they both approved will be Finally got this role, Wen Ziren, Jeff is quite confident, as long as he wins Robin, it is equivalent to He Mu taking this role.

Jeff and Robin are good friends, but this guy is very principled and not as flexible as Jeff. It is almost impossible for Jeff to get this guy on his side through friendship, so he wants him to talk to He first. Mu knows each other. He Mu is such a good young man, I believe that no one will dislike him, and he understands the truth of being short-mouthed. Robin should not understand it at his age.

After understanding Jeff's intentions, Datang was very enthusiastic about Robin, but Robin kept a polite distance, and at the same time he was a little dissatisfied with his old friend Jeff. He could see that Jeff wanted to let himself First meet the actor from China, his wife's brother, but he is not so easy to compromise.

Jeff has never disclosed his relationship with He Mu to outsiders, and He Mu is the same in China. No one knows that he has a brother-in-law who is a senior executive of Lionsgate. However, when facing Robin, Jeff does not hide it. He would know, so it's better to say it himself, of course, even if he said it, Robin still didn't mean to sell his face.

When Jeff and the others came back, He Mu had been busy in the kitchen for more than an hour. Datang chatted with Robin for a while, and soon Song Xuan and Xiao Nan brought up Chinese specialties that looked good and smelled good. , it seems that it is not so important now, such a good-looking dish can make people pay for it just by looking at the appearance.

He Mu made the dishes so beautiful this time to create a shocking visual effect, so that foreigners like Jeff and Robin can see the profoundness of Chinese cuisine. In the United States, they probably don’t often see this kind of food that is comparable to works of art. Sister Xuan told him just now in the kitchen that whether he can win this role depends on what Robin says.

Although He Mu shocked Robin with his beautiful cooking skills, he still behaved very calmly, and he decided to keep calm tonight, and he must not let this He Mu think that his little tricks conquered him .

But after putting the shiny piece of pork into his mouth, Robin's expression immediately became more colorful, and he was completely defeated by a piece of pork.

Chinese food is still very popular in the city of Los Angeles. Robin has eaten with Jeff a few times. The most painful thing is learning to use chopsticks, but after learning to eat, he enjoys eating very much. It is true that Chinese food is popular all over the world. Charm, but although the improved Chinese food has adapted to the taste and health standards of the vast majority of Americans, it has lost a lot of the essence of Chinese food. I am afraid that it is not even half as delicious as the real Chinese food. Now Robin No. [-] It was the first time he tasted the authentic Dongpo meat, and the delicacy made him go crazy with excitement. His tongue had never been so pleasant. Chinese food is really amazing!

Robin ate another shrimp, and his old face immediately turned into a chrysanthemum. Many countries have ways to deal with seafood, but the basics are very simple. However, Chinese cuisine has more diverse ways to deal with it. Robin lamented that he didn’t even know it. What adjectives should I say? Jeff saw Robin’s expression and his eyes chasing delicious food, and smiled happily. Unexpectedly, He Mu won Robin’s old stubbornness before saying a few words. Chinese cuisine is really profound. , It's a pity that his wife can't do it.

It can be said that there is too much on He Mu, but a little bit of exposure is enough to make people amazed. Robin's icy face melted after a meal. Now when he looks at He Mu, his expression is much gentler. Rejecting people thousands of miles away like before, it seems that although he has not been influenced by Chinese culture, he knows the truth of cannibalism.

As the owner of the room, Jeff is very happy to see that the situation is developing as he thought. In order to make everyone more familiar, he took the initiative to provoke the topic, hoping that everyone can talk about something. The dinner table is a good place to connect with each other. China is like this, and the United States Sometimes it works.

"Xiao Mu, what is the hottest movie in China right now?"

We are all filmmakers, of course it is easier to talk about movies.

He Mu thought for a while, "Now that China has entered the Lunar New Year season, what the Chinese people want to watch most is excellent Chinese films. The most popular ones are "October Besieged City", "Three Guns Surprise" directed by Zhang Yimou, and Asian films. "Assassin's Tomb" starring Little Heavenly King Zhou Jielun, unfortunately I have been filming in a remote ancient city, and I have never seen these movies, have you heard of them?"

Jeff nodded, and Robin shook his head. Jeff explained to Robin, "Three Thousands of Surprises" is a remake of director Zhang Yimou's remake of the Coen brothers' debut "Blood Labyrinth". It is an amazing movie with so many Chinese superstars participating, but "The Founding of a Nation" is even more amazing, there are more than 100 Chinese stars, it is really unbelievable." Jeff couldn't help but feel emotional, and his distribution of films from all over the world The market is very concerned, especially recently he has a soft spot for the Chinese market.

Robin wiped the oil from his lips and asked, "Then don't you watch Hollywood blockbusters now? Are there any Hollywood movies that are popular in China?"
