I Really Didn’t Want to Be Famous

"This is our local veal, you must not eat it in Hollywood."

"Well, this is the fruit we specially matched for you. The director is a good one, and I specialize in running here and there. It's okay to have two..."

"This is our daughter Hong over there. We prepared it specially for you. Haven't drunk it. At night, our third brother won't be drunk, hahaha!"

"Director Carl, come and help me, I can't lift it..."

"..."

"..."

Fatty Wei was carrying bag after bag of things, as if he was a familiar one. He fluent English and stuffed various souvenirs and gifts into Karl's house.

Carl was stunned.

Subconsciously helping Fatty Wei carry various gifts, his brain is blank.

He hasn't figured out how these two people suddenly appeared at the door of his villa, and they performed violently, as if they were going to move in with him?

Everyone is not familiar with it, is there no friendship at all, is it good, you are tossing so suddenly, you...

Carl had a thousand things to say in his heart, but when he saw Fatty Wei's warm smile and Lu Yuan's sincere expression, Carl realized that he couldn't say anything, and he even started to feel embarrassed.

More than ten minutes later.

Lu Yuan and Fatty Wei sat on the sofa in Carl’s villa. Karl unconsciously made two cups of coffee for them. Fatty Wei drank the coffee and habitually commented on Carl’s European-style decoration style. He was shameless and praised. Stay aside and nod from time to time...

When Fatty Wei finished boasting, he suddenly realized that he couldn't hold back any other words corresponding to it.

"Director Carl, do you understand what I said?" Fatty Wei stared at Carl after holding back for a long time.

"???"

Carl looked blank.

I know?

What do I know? You just come in and do it. I still don't know what you are going to do.

At this moment, Carl looked at Fatty Wei.

At this moment, the air was quieter than ever, and invisibly full of embarrassment.

Although we all know each other, in fact we are not very familiar.

At this moment...

Known as the tyrant of Hollywood directors, Carl, who was once a talent on the set, was extremely restless.

"Director Carl..." Lu Yuan finally panicked, feeling that this incident made everyone shy.

"Yes." After hearing Lu Yuan's voice, Carl shrank his head subconsciously.

He could still pretend to scream in front of Andorra, pat the table and say a few words that I can overturn you and make you cry sooner or later, but in front of Lu Yuan, his momentum was weakened somehow.

Although Lu Yuan’s words were very calm, Carl felt that the invisible momentum was suppressed, and then he subconsciously felt that he was so awesome, even if he reached the pinnacle of his career as a director, he couldn’t compare to Lu Yuan’s tenth. One.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree.

Lu Yuan's operations over the past two years are really terrifying. If he hadn't known that Lu Yuan was a human being, Karl would have thought that this guy had three heads and six arms.

"Ahem, ahem, Director Carl, in fact, I still like your work. I heard you say that you have always insisted on filming your own screenplay, right?" Lu Yuan coughed lightly and continued to reveal Communicate with Carl with a sincere smile.

"Yes, Mr. Lu Yuan, actually the first work I won the best Oscar nomination for my debut was my own screenplay... and my previous "Sunset Behemoth" was also written by myself..." After reaching Lu Yuan's smile, Carl nodded subconsciously, and somehow talked about his favorite works one by one.

In his subconscious, he seemed very hopeful that Lu Yuan could look at him high.

"Oh oh, Mr. Carl, do you have any plans for the next movie?"

"The next movie, I plan to continue shooting the science fiction monster series!"

"Science fiction monster? Mr. Carl, can you tell me about the movie?"

"That is, if a beast rushes into the streets of New York, then..."

"Mr. Carl, it seems that the movies you have made in the past few years have always been of the "King Kong" type. By the way, I have an idea. I don't know if I can help you improve your script..." Lu Yuan smiled and looked at Carl. .

"Huh? Mr. Lu Yuan, what do you think?" Unconsciously, Carl's name for Lu Yuan changed to you.

"Yes, the name of the next movie is simply "King Kong". Of course, on a Skull Island, there is a mutant gorilla, and because of an accident, an ambitious producer Karl and actress Darrow Came to this Skull Island, and then..." Lu Yuan enthusiastically told the story of "King Kong".

"This..." Carl was suddenly attracted by Lu Yuan's story outline, and a flame began to emerge from the depths of his pupils.

Lu Yuan’s outline coincided with his ideas, not only that, but even more detailed than his plot...

After listening to Lu Yuan's "King Kong" story, Carl felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

In short, at this moment, his mind is full of the plot that Lu Yuan said. This plot has perfected all his previous imperfect outlines, and even he can't wait to make this movie right away.

"Mr. Carl, what do you think?"

"Mr. Lu Yuan, you, this plot is so good, if it is accompanied by special effects, then maybe it will leave a very exciting and unforgettable scene in the history of the movie! Mr. Lu Yuan, I want to write the story you told Script, is this okay?" Carl took a deep breath, a little uneasy in his voice.

When facing Lu Yuan, he inherently felt that he was a little shorter.

"Yes, absolutely, I am looking forward to Carl's first script for you!" Lu Yuan nodded with a smile.

"Okay!" Carl nodded, and the whole person became more excited, but then he reacted and looked at Lu Yuan with a complicated reaction. "Mr. Lu Yuan, I will pay you for the script, and if possible, I will sign the script. Add your name...but, other than that, I can't promise you anything else. If you don't want to, or if you make other requests, then I..."

"Mr. Carl, in fact, we came here this time hoping to make a friend with you. Other than that, there is no other meaning. This idea is just a bridge of friendship between us. It is entirely yours. Of course, If one day, you feel that you want to change your environment, or feel that you want to experience another kind of life, our door is always open for you." Lu Yuan looked at Karl seriously.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I...thank you." After seeing Lu Yuan's more serious and sincere expression than before, Karl unconsciously trembled in his heart, and he actually felt flattered.

Although he is well-known in Hollywood, he is a very famous director.

But if you want to compare Lu Yuan's face...

It's just a little ugly.

"Well, we came here too suddenly today, and it was a bit disturbing, Mr. Carl, don't mind, Director Wei, let's go." After Lu Yuan finished speaking, he stood up and glanced at Fatty Wei.

"Okay." Fatty Wei nodded subconsciously, and then stood up.

"Ah...Mr. Lu Yuan, let's go to dinner together, I want to express my gratitude..." After Carl saw that Lu Yuan was about to leave, his brain went blank.

"Haha, no, we are going to make "Titanic" soon. We are short of a few associate directors. Recently, many things have to be busy. If there is a chance in the future, Mr. Carl, I hope you can come to the crew more..."

"Good, good!"

Carl's brain was blank, and he didn't know how to vent his messy complex emotions for a while, just watched Lu Yuan leave the house.

When Lu Yuan walked out of the house, Fatty Wei suddenly stopped and then came to Karl.

"Director Carl, I want to tell you a secret."

"what?"

"Our boss, Mr. Lu Yuan, for the first time in the past three years, the only person who came to visit in person for the first time was you, and it was not the director circle, but everyone! Also, what does our boss’s script represent? You are a screenwriter, and I believe you should understand that if he doesn’t really value you, it’s impossible to do so. After all, in his capacity, there is really no shortage of directors... I hope you can think about it. Director Carl!" After Wei Fatty left this sentence, he patted Carl on the shoulder familiarly, and then walked out of the house with Lu Yuan and closed the door.

Inside the house.

Carl stared blankly in the direction the two were leaving, and then heard the sound of the car starting.

Fatty Wei's words kept echoing in his mind.

Over and over again, over and over again.

Then it echoed what Lu Yuan said to him.

Yes!

With an identity like Lu Yuan, why would he look for himself over and over again?

Moreover, although I was very good in the director circle before, but in the past two years, I have gone downhill.

In this profit-only world, what everyone values ​​most is the director's commercial value.

and……

What does Lu Yuan's script and creativity represent?

Although all Hollywood directors don’t like Lu Yuan very much, they have to admit that each of Lu Yuan’s scripts is unique and the creativity is the same. Moreover, according to his own research, Lu Yuan has never given free to any director. The script is over!

Carl lowered his head slowly.

There are so many flavors, you can't do it yourself...

No way!

I can't leave Paramount like James!

Absolutely not!

Pimon’s boss, Smith is very nice to me, I can’t do this to him!

and many more!

What does Lu Yuan's script say?

The evil villain producer Carl?

Is this reminding me?

……………………………………

"You mean, Carl had contact with Andorra and had coffee together, and then you saw Lu Yuan and Wei Wuji going in for more than half an hour by Carl's villa?"

"Yes! Although they were sneaky, but our company's paparazzi still photographed them."

"Things are starting to get interesting!"

"Mr. Smith, do you think Carl will be like James..."

"Who is the director with the most commercial value in our company now?"

"Director Beamon Leighton..."

"Oh, let's go, I will talk to Carl today about the next movie and see how he reacts."

"it is good."

At Palmer, Smith narrowed his eyes and looked out the window.

His eyes were slightly gloomy.

The failure of "Skull King Kong" made their company a joke. Then, at this critical juncture, why did Lu Yuan and Wei Wuji come into contact with Karl, and why did Karl take the initiative to find Andorra? They have not always been. Is the relationship bad?

Could it be...

Everything is appearance?

In the past, it seemed that James and Carl had a good relationship.

After James left Palmon, Carl and James had no contact at all on the surface. Are they really not connected, or are they doing something?

Smith frowned.

And the more wrinkled, the deeper.

According to his intuition, he felt that this matter was definitely not that simple!

……………………………………

The evening of the same day.

There was also a knock on the door of "Arrival" director Jr. Jackson's house.
