Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 145 The Kung Fu Star from the East
"I heard it, you crazy woman!" Roy felt that his fingers were about to break off, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat from the pain.

"What about the answer?"

"I got it! Don't do it again!" Even if she asked him to take the moon off the sky at this time, Roy would agree without hesitation.Damn woman, she's really ruthless!

Only then did Laila let go of her hand in satisfaction: "Remember what you said, or, you can also test my tolerance with the price of one finger."

"I'm crazy to try it!" Roy grunted, not wanting to stay for a moment and driving away.

What he didn't know was that Lyla wasn't joking.

She has a series of plans for him. It can be said that in the future development, he is a very important fragment of her plan.If he got into trouble with drinking and trouble, or even worse, he might become a star that faded before it was bright.If he dares to turn into a meteor and fall before her plan is completed, she promises that even if his meteor falls to the ground and is smashed to pieces, she will dig him out of the ground and smash him to pieces with a hammer!
That night, Laila returned to her grandparents' home in New York.

For the next period of time, she has nothing to do, so she just wants to stay here to eat the Chinese food made by her grandmother, and conceive of the next work by the way.With the completion of the production of Reaper, her vision is no longer limited to low-cost productions.She would like to try a larger production if possible.

More investment does not necessarily mean more income for others, but it is not an obstacle at all for her.She knows what works will be loved by the audience in the future, but she feels that she still lacks experience in controlling large-scale productions.

When she got home, she was not surprised to be scolded by her grandfather in the study.Apparently the old man felt that the reprimand to her on the phone last time was not enough, and now he was carried over when he got home without even changing his clothes. It was grandma who took pity on her and rescued her from that terrible study hell.

In less than half an hour, Leila was once again "forced" out of the agreement to produce three programs by her grandfather.That is to say, in the next five years, she must ensure that three programs with good ratings are honestly handed over to him by her.Coupled with what she promised on the phone earlier, Laila felt that she would be very busy in the next few years...

In fact, if she really doesn't want to, she doesn't have to agree at all. She is also very skilled at playing tricks on her elders. As long as she shows a pitiful expression in front of grandma, grandpa's threats and reprimands can be turned into a smile. .

But she likes this family, likes the love and favor each of them have for her, and she is willing to do something for them.The reason why he acted reluctantly was also to give the old man a more "sense of accomplishment".

Let's take this moment as an example, I believe that the grandfather who is still in the study is either complacent about what happened just now, or bragging to his old friends that he is still young.

Originally, Lila thought that she could conceive a new movie quietly at home, but an unexpected person appeared at her home on the Upper East Side.

"Hello, Director Moran. I'm Chen Long." He spoke from a Chinese with some foreign emphasis in English.

It was hard for Laila not to recognize that familiar face. It was her favorite martial arts star——Chen Long!
"Hello, Mr. Chen." While greeting, Laila shifted her suspicious eyes from Chen Long's side to grandma, because it was grandma who brought him in.

Grandma pulled her aside and told the story.It turned out that she and Chen Long's grandma were very good friends decades ago, but it's a pity that she rarely got in touch with her since she married here.This time Chen Long came with a letter from her grandma, and wanted to ask Laila for help.

Grandma was moved when she saw the letter from her old best friend. In her words, "help me if you can", after all, we have been in love for decades.

After learning about the matter, Laila sent grandma out of the study, and asked Chen Long to sit down, but at the same time she felt a little strange.

"How can I help Mr. Chen?"

"I'm really sorry, I came here rather presumptuously." Chen Long said apologetically.

"I can understand Mandarin, you can say it as you please." His not-so-standard English made Laila a little embarrassed to hear it.I didn't expect that Brother Chen would have such bad English in the early years.

Chen Long seemed relieved, smiled self-deprecatingly and turned to speak Mandarin: "Oh, English really gives me a headache."

"It's okay, as long as you can express yourself." Laila smiled and brought the topic back to the topic: "I don't know how I can help you?"

Chen Long took out a script from the bag he carried with him and handed it to her, with a serious expression on his face: "I hope I can invite you to direct this movie."

"This is..." Lila took the script and saw the words "Rush Hour" written on it.

Her heart skipped a beat, it turned out to be this movie!
Just heard Chen Long say: "I'm fairly famous in the East, and I've been wanting to go to the West all these years and spread our Kung Fu to the West."

Lyra nodded to show he understood.She knew that his reputation in the east was definitely not as simple as "somewhat famous", but no matter how famous he was in the east, it would be useless in Hollywood.

The proud Hollywood looks down on celebrities from other countries at all. No matter how great a star you are in your original country, in Hollywood you have to follow the rules and step up from below.At most, they have a higher starting point than those at the bottom.

"I think Hollywood is too simple. Here and the East are like two completely different worlds, and they also have completely different aesthetics. This year I failed again, and this script is my only hope for the last time."

Lila didn't speak, but pursed her lips and flipped through the script in her hand.

Speaking of which, Chen Long's luck is indeed not very good. He officially entered Hollywood with "Red Fan District", and he hasn't acted in any valuable movies since then.

Today is no better than later generations, in the eyes of Westerners there are still some misunderstandings and hostility from Easterners.Generally speaking, the orientals who appear in movies are either villains or extras. It is even more difficult to get a good role than blacks.

"You mean the Starlight Dragon Gate Formation?"

Chen Long was taken aback for a moment, then smiled wryly: "So you know this movie too."

Of course Laila knew, because the film was definitely not easy to build up before it was released.In addition to its screenwriter is millionaire Joe Ezette Haas, the director is "Love Story" Arthur Shearer, but also claimed that three superstars joined the cameo.Among them are Sylvester Stallone, the famous tough guy action star, Whoopi Goldberg, who is also crazy about nuns, and Chen Long.

This is a very strong lineup. After receiving the invitation, Chen Long was very happy to accept it. Unexpectedly, after the film was released, it brought negative reviews.

　For the sake of harmony and love ~ Eastern stars will be replaced by aliases.In order not to be accidentally seen by a certain hacked star to send Zhang a lawyer's letter or something, this has happened to a certain book site.

　　If you are from the west, you will definitely not see Lao Zhuang’s writing, so hehe~
