Chapter 916 The Vision of a Science Fiction Movie
At twelve o'clock, Zhou Xia finally arrived at the previous villa.

The entire third-floor villa was brightly lit, but there was no sound.

Zhou Xia also knew that in such a huge villa, it was easy to feel lonely and bored with Yu Fei staying with a few servants.

Only then did he bite the bullet and rushed over.

Just entering the room, Yu Fei, who was wearing a sexy pink ice silk pajamas, let out a sigh of relief, and smiled gratifiedly when she saw Zhou Xia.

"You're finally back."

"Hehe, I told you not to wait." Zhou Xia stepped forward to hug the beauty in front of him with some heartache.

In China, Yu Fei rarely took the initiative to find him, but every time she went to work in the United States, she would take the initiative to wait for him.

"This is touching, ha ha." Yu Fei asked with a smile.

Zhou Xia is very good at pampering and loving others, but he is even more capable of irritating and hurting others. He is really a complicated man.

"Of course, let me reward you well."

Zhou Xia smiled and hugged Yu Fei by the waist. Yu Fei leaned in Zhou Xia's arms, which was a little sweet at first.

Suddenly sniffing with his nose, he smelled a faint scent of women's perfume on Zhou Xia's body.

She raised her eyes and took a closer look, and found that Zhou Xia had a long black hair sticking to her shoulder, and her complexion was a little ugly. She reached out to pick up the hair and found that it was a full thirty centimeters long, and her brows frowned even tighter. up.

Zhou Xia didn't notice it, carried Yu Fei up to the master's room on the second floor, and put her down, only to realize that something was wrong.

"what is this?"

Yu Fei passed the hair in her hand to Zhou Xia's eyes, "I found it on your shoulder, and whose perfume is on your body?"

Zhou Xia's heart skipped a beat, and she could only secretly rejoice that Yaya didn't have much contact with Yufei, so she didn't let the other party find out directly.

"Oh, I remember."

Zhou Xia took the hair and looked at it, and continued: "I met a female reporter at the restaurant, who is the People's Daily stationed in Los Angeles. Her name is Zou, and she took a photo with me."

"Really?" Yu Fei asked with a frown. She knew about this female reporter and had interviewed her three times.

"Of course, no, you're really a disappointment. You've spoiled all the good fun."

"What, isn't it your problem? You are too inattentive, just take a group photo, why do you smell of other people's hair and perfume on your body?"

"Do as the Romans do when you go abroad. When you meet acquaintances, you just hug them. Well, it's all my problem. Let's not talk about it."

At a time like this, Zhou Xia also knew that it was better to say less, and stepped forward to hug Yu Fei and was about to kiss her, but was pushed away by the other party.

"You go take a shower first."

"I.... good!" Zhou Xia shook his head helplessly.

After coming out of the shower, Yu Fei was satisfied to let Zhou Xia get close to her.

After an in-depth exchange between the two, Yu Fei knew that Zhou Xia was busy the next day, so she didn't keep pestering him.

The next day, Zhou Xia woke up early, after exercising and morning exercises, said goodbye to Yu Fei, and went directly to the company.

On the way, I received a call from Yaya, asking where he was last night.

Zhou Xia simply told the truth, Yu Fei has also come here.

Yaya must be kept from Yufei, but not vice versa.

When Yaya heard Zhou Xia's answer, she sneered and pressed the phone without saying anything.

Zhou Xia was busy at the company until nine o'clock in the morning, with Nicole Kidman and Jennifer Lawrence as the two leading actors, photographer Roger Deakins and other main creators arriving.

Everyone rushed to attend the launch conference according to the arrangement. More than 100 reporters from North America and all over the world were already waiting.

After all, this lineup is too dreamy, and there are many topics, which naturally attracted the attention of the industry.

Zhou Xia is a Chinese-language commercial film director, and now he is shooting an English-language literary film in Hollywood, and the circle is somewhat skeptical.

But looking at this main creative lineup now, most of the previous pessimism was immediately reduced.

The two heroines are Oscar queens, so even if they miss the script, how bad can they be?

What's more, it's not that Zhou Xia has never made a literary film. His only literary film won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film and the Venice Golden Lion Award.

There is no doubt about his ability as a director, the most important thing is to see whether he can adapt to the English creative environment.

Throughout the opening conference, the reporters were most concerned about why Zhou Xia chose a lesbian-themed movie as the first movie to shoot in Hollywood.

Puzzled that he doesn't make super blockbusters.

In addition, there are interviews with Nicole and Jennifer, asking about the opportunity for them to cooperate with Zhou Xia.

After the one-hour press conference ended, several main creators rushed directly to the set.

Hollywood is no longer what it used to be.

Although there are still some post-production factories, film technical support companies and several major record companies still located in Hollywood, only Paramount, the major film company that established Hollywood's glory in the past, remains in Hollywood.

Most of the wealthiest and most successful creatives in the film industry left Hollywood decades ago.

In addition to the film and television studios left before, it is more convenient for filming period dramas. Many films are now filmed in other states with preferential tax policies.

On the black Cadillac heading to the set, Jennifer and Zhou Xia were sitting in the back row talking.

"Director, how's it going? Is my weight-loss plan a success?"

From the company meeting to the press conference, the two did not care about private communication.What Jennifer wants to know most at this moment is whether Zhou Xia is satisfied with her dedication.

"Well. It's almost there. How much did you lose? Twenty catties?"

Zhou Xia's eldest cousin, who has always been known for her plump eyes and often claims in the media that she will never lose weight, has indeed lost a lot of weight, she guessed.

"16 catties, I am now 97 catties, which meets your requirements."

The eldest cousin is dissatisfied and authentic. It is not easy for her to lose so much in a month.

"You've worked hard. If you put in the effort, you will definitely gain. Believe me." Zhou Xia nodded in approval.

"My schedule is only one month, is it okay?"

"Of course, our film is not a blockbuster. The preparations are well prepared and the shooting is smooth. It will be finished in less than two months, not to mention your role."

Zhou Xia nodded and said, literary movies are the best, especially a group of skilled actors, if the performance is not stuck, the shooting will be much faster.

"Then I'm relieved, I forgot to congratulate you, you are now the second director of commercial films in the world." The eldest cousin laughed.

"The media praised me too much. Those are just floating clouds. There is still a long way to go." Zhou Xia shook her head and smiled wryly.

His films mainly rely on the mainland and Asian markets, and now the European and North American markets are gradually opening up.

But I'm afraid it won't last. After all, foreign audiences will have higher requirements for his films after the novelty disappears.

"That is, your future is even more limitless. I hope we have the opportunity to cooperate. By the way, I heard that when you participated in the filming of "Pacific Rim" the year before last, you began to participate in the director. You are preparing for the shooting of a sci-fi blockbuster. Now you have a plan Well, can you give priority to finding me for cooperation, we are also old acquaintances."

The eldest cousin moved closer to Zhou Xia as she spoke, with a bit of amused look in her eyes.

"I have some clues, but I guess it will be the next year, so we'll talk about it then." Zhou Xia hurriedly sat aside.

Now he has been trying to develop various types of films.

Science fiction films are the first choice, but the domestic environment and his personal preparations are not in place, so this matter has been delayed.

If you really want to shoot, you have to wait until the filming of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", "Chinatown 2", and "New Detective 2".

But speaking of it, can another suitable director be found to replace him for those two series?

In this case, he can relax a lot.

As for the sci-fi film Liu Cixin's work is naturally the best choice, he will win the Hugo Award next year, and he is really famous all over the world.

The right to adapt his novels to film and television is now in the hands of Xia Hua Film and Television.

"The Three-Body Problem" must not be ruined by shooting indiscriminately.

Then "The Wandering Earth", "Country Teacher", and "Whale Song" are all good choices.

Even if the filming starts in more than a year, the script needs to be prepared quickly.

After filming this movie and returning to China, let’s formally mention this matter at the annual meeting.

Zhou Xia made up her mind.
