Chapter 306: I¡¯m not married. . . I have the right to pursue you! .
It didn't take long. Along with the sound of music, the big screen in front of the cinema gradually became dark. At the same time, the chandeliers above the entire cinema also lit up, illuminating the entire cinema as if Like daylight.
At this moment, the 100-minute-long "Tomb Raider" has officially ended its screening. Most fans still express their approval of this film.
Especially in the film, the heroine¡¯s uncanny hotness, sexiness, and agility made many fans present enthusiastic. Of course, there were also many fans who complained that the film was boring.
After all, when a movie comes out, there will be fans who like it and fans who don¡¯t like it. This is absolutely inevitable.
Just like "Harry Potter" written by Rowling, just like "Twilight" written by Xia Shang, whether in the United States or around the world, there are countless fans who like these two novels, and some who hate them There are also huge crowds of people. . .
However, no matter what, being loved by most movie fans is already considered satisfactory for both Xia Shang and Angelina Jolie, the film¡¯s director and actress.
You can¡¯t expect every step of the movie to be like ¡°Titanic¡±! Moreover, after that film came out, there were also a lot of fans and critics who satirized its childish love story and so on!
Watching the fans around them leaving the cinema one by one, Xia Shang and Kate Beckinsale, who were sitting in the corner, did not make any movement.
"I think I should leave!" After a long silence, watching the fans in the cinema chatting with each other and leaving, Kate Beckinsale couldn't help but stand up, and she relaxed her beautiful figure. , a lazy temperament was revealed.
Her shawl brown hair looked like a waterfall when she swayed slightly, looking very charming.
"You want to go back to England?" Xia Shang frowned, and a trace of separation flashed through his heart!
"I came to the United States just for tourism. Is it possible that I will stay here for a long time?" Kate Beckinsale frowned, and her words were mixed with an unspeakable resentment.
"Have you never thought about taking your career to Hollywood?" After a moment of silence, Xia Shang couldn't help but ask tentatively.
It has to be said that although the British film and television and entertainment industries are also very developed, there is still a very big gap compared to Hollywood's international popularity and status.
If not, actors and directors from so many countries in the world would not choose to cross the ocean, come to the United States, and come to Hollywood to develop their careers.
Of course, the competition here is relatively more cruel. There are many stars who come here, and there are also many stars who return sadly.
After all, foreign actors, directors and other stars, no matter what, are not as good as these local stars, occupying the right time, location, and people!
But then again, British actors and directors always seem to have more advantages in developing in Hollywood than actors and directors from other countries except the United States.
Perhaps this is the reason why, relatively speaking, the regional cultures of the United Kingdom and the United States are more similar.
Thinking of this, Xia Shang couldn't help but continue to persuade: "I think you should also know that it is actually easier for British actors like you to develop in Hollywood. Relatively speaking, they are more loved by movie fans and film critics. !¡±
Listening to the other party's leisurely words, Kate Beckinsale couldn't help but remain silent. However, at this time, she couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart. Just as the other party thought, Hollywood seemed to be full of emotions for every actor. It was like magic, attracting each of them, and Kate was no exception.
It is not that she has never thought about developing her career into Hollywood, but it is definitely not the kind of aimless wandering. For an old actor who has overcome the initial excitement and has many years of acting experience, Kate -Beckinsale prefers to plan things and then put them into action.
At this moment, she was obviously not completely ready. At least Xia Shang's invitation seemed a bit hasty at this moment.
"Okay! Maybe you haven't made the final decision yet, so why don't I show you around Hollywood first Of course, you can also go to Baofeng Film Company to have a look! I think you will like it here. !" Xia Shang looked at the other party's expression and said,He already had a rough idea of ??her thoughts. At this time, he did not continue to force her. Instead, he changed the topic and suggested with a smile.
For Xia Shang¡¯s proposal, Kate Beckinsale did not refuse, put down her thoughts, and nodded with a smile.
"Actually, I think you should smile more, because you look really beautiful when you smile." The two people, who were dressed somewhat mysteriously, were walking together. Xia Shang was not afraid of others recognizing him. His eyes fell on On the other party's smiling face, a flash of amazement flashed in his eyes.
"Are you usually so talkative? Or, when you are with a woman, are you always so eloquent?" Kate Beckinsale couldn't help but mocked slightly, but in the face of the other party's praise, her eyes still showed A faint smile appeared.
Every woman likes to be praised by others for her beauty, sexiness, etc., and Kate Beckinsale is no exception.
"Wrong! In fact, I only praise women who make me feel excited!"
"Is this your truth?"
"Of course! It's more real than real gold!" Suddenly, Xia Shang's face became extremely serious, and he looked at the other party with 'affectionate' eyes. Immediately, he took the initiative to hold the other party's delicate wrist and exerted a slight force. , and hugged her tall and charming body.
"You" Kate Beckinsale never thought that the other party would suddenly do this. Her slender waist suddenly collapsed into the other party's arms, and she was lifted up by the other party. Then, her There was a hint of anger on his face, and his body began to struggle slightly.
However, since Xia Shang had already done this, how could he easily make the other person break away? He used his arms to wrap his arms around his plump waist. Feeling the unevenness of the other person's body, he couldn't help but feel it. There was a ripple.
Immediately, he blew hot air into the other person's ear: "Don't you think the two of us will be more like good friends like this? Moreover, look at them, they are not all like this. ishu"
?????????????????????????????¡
"They are a couple, we are just friends." Kate Beckinsale glared at him angrily, and then swayed her body. After seeing that she couldn't get away from him, she simply let it go. She went, but the shame and anger on her face never faded.
"Hey! Not all couples develop from friends." Xia Shang chuckled and made a joke.
However, he also knew that one should not be too pushy in life. He just hugged the other person's waist and felt the other person's plumpness, that's all. More importantly, the two of them still showed the kind of intimacy but not intimacy. of friendship.
After coming out of the cinema, the two went directly to a British-style restaurant. A relatively romantic lunch solved their food and clothing problem.
In the afternoon, the two of them had a very clear purpose, which was to visit the entire Hollywood. Hollywood is located in the northwest of Los Angeles, surrounded by mountains and rivers. Not only is the surrounding environment beautiful, there are also various scenic spots inside Hollywood that are breathtaking, such as the Chinese Grand Theater, The Avenue of Stars, outdoor theaters, etc. are all occasions that attract many tourists.
And here, the attraction for an actor is like a magic ball, which is simply unstoppable. Although Kate Beckinsale has been here before, but looking at the surrounding buildings, she is not surrounded by Familiar faces and figures flashed by, and reporters¡¯ faces kept appearing. . . Her beautiful face was filled with deep yearning.
Kate Beckinsale, who was attracted by the surrounding scene, did not notice the man beside her. At this time, a cunning look as if the plan had succeeded flashed through her eyes.
When night came, Xia Shang had dinner with her, and after enjoying the night view of Los Angeles, she sent her back to the hotel where she was staying.
And he went home without stopping. After all, no matter what, the women and children at home were looking forward to him, and he couldn't stay out all night.
The next day, early in the morning, Xia Shang drove to the hotel where Kate Beckinsale was staying. After picking her up in the car, the two of them rushed to Baofeng Film Company together.
Accompanying Kate Beckinsale to visit her film company, the two of them had made an appointment as early as yesterday. . . Although compared to Hollywood, Baofeng Film Company doesn't have much to enjoy!
¡°I have to say, charming Ms. Kate, it¡¯s such a coincidence that you came to Los Angeles. I have a film in my hand that is very suitable for you. I don¡¯t know.If you are interested, let me know what I have to say! "After a while, he returned to Xia Shang's office. He looked at Kate Beckinsale who was slumped on the seat and kept hammering her calf, and couldn't help but smile.
"What movie?" Kate Beckinsale said nonchalantly, not seeming to be too surprised.
"I don't know if you have studied history Its name is "Pearl Harbor"!" Xia Shang saw Kate Beckinsale's performance and didn't care. Instead, he spoke in a relaxed and vivid manner. In his tone, he introduced the plot of the movie "Pearl Harbor" to her.
To be honest, Kate Beckinsale's acting career in the UK is actually not commendable. Ups and downs may be her most distinctive feature, but the film that really made her shine and become famous , it is this World War II blockbuster "Pearl Harbor".
Although the beautiful nurse Evelyn played by Kate Beckinsale in the film has not escaped the praise of others, it is undeniable that it is this film that made Kate Beckinsale's name famous. It has made him known to countless movie fans around the world.
In fact, when Xia Shang mentioned the film "Pearl Harbor" today, it was not just a whim. In fact, just last year, Storm Films, Jerry Bruckheimer and Michael Bay collaborated on the film "Pearl Harbor". After "The Peerless Tribulation", I already had this idea.
Today, after seeing Kate Beckinsale, his mind was moved. Mentioning this film just moved the time forward.
Speaking of the movie "Pearl Harbor", although it has very good box office results in the U.S. box office and overseas box office, compared to the high production cost and publicity expenses of the film, there is not much to show off. The place.
But the key thing is that Xia Shang can clearly remember that the crew that originally filmed "Pearl Harbor" received strong support from the U.S. Department of Defense and was able to set up in the U.S. military base on Oahu to shoot at Pearl Harbor. This has to be said. , this is a very meaningful film.
"Actually, compared with Hollywood films, British films are like a firefly or a bright moon Everything you said is very exciting, but I am not the kind of person who sells his body to make movies. Woman!" Kate Beckinsale sighed deeply and looked at the other party with a complicated expression.
"I know that you are a very strong-minded woman with your own opinions on how to deal with others, butthis time, you really misunderstood me. Am I just such an unbearable person in your eyes?" Xia Shang couldn't help but feel a little self-deprecating.
"I admit that I have intentions for you, but please believe that I am not the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others and blackmail others, especially the woman who makes me attracted In fact, I really feel that this film The heroine is very suitable for you, that¡¯s all!!!¡±
As he spoke, Xia Shang sighed deeply.
Hearing this, Kate Beckinsale couldn't help but fell silent. For a long time, a look of apology appeared on her face, and then a smile appeared: "Okay! Xia, I'm very sorry for this, and I want to take it back." What I said just now.¡±
"That's pretty much it! Then the heroine of this film"
"Don't you think that this time, I will really develop my career into Hollywood! I still have many things that I am not ready for" Kate Beckinsale said naughtily, obviously after just going through After the incident, the obstacles between the two seemed to be much reduced.
"It doesn't matter! Although the United Kingdom is thousands of miles away from Los Angeles in the United States, the exchanges are relatively simple. It's not like at the beginning of the century. When you take a luxury cruise ship, you have to worry about whether it will hit an iceberg and sink." Xia Shang Smiling and shrugging.
"You are so funny!" Kate Beckinsale chuckled, and her tall figure, which was restrained by a close-fitting sweater, jumped at this moment, looking very alluring.
"Thank you for your compliment. For what you said, I think I will keep this film for you. When you return to Los Angeles, I think you can get the script, but nowI'm sorry, I I don't have this thing on hand." Xia Shang's face was slightly disappointed, but at the end of the sentence, he couldn't help but add another sentence.
"Of course, if you can stay in Los Angeles for a while, I will create it in advance!"
"There are still many things in the UK that need to be dealt with by me." Kate Beckinsale shook her head slightly and sighed. Then she looked at the other party with very sincere eyes: "Thank you! Xia."
"It's nothing. I might as well wait until the movie is released and the movie will be a big hit, so I still want to thank you!" Xia Shang smiled. At this moment, he couldn't help but stand up and take steps.? Came to the other party's side, bowed slightly, and stared at the other party seriously: "Actually, I think you should consider it, I really like you"
"I would also like to reiterate that I do not want to have a relationship with a married man." Kate Beckinsale imitated the other party's tone and stared at the other party very seriously.
"Okay! Dear Kate, I want to make it clear to you that I am not marriedso, I think I have the right to pursue you." In the end, Xia Shang withdrew his gaze and sighed secretly. , now he somewhat understood that Kate, who had a strong heart, was not like Kelly Brook, who was crazy about herself. He was not the kind of woman who gave in easily. . .
However, he was not discouraged. After all, the other party wanted to develop his acting career into Hollywood. There were always opportunities. . . Speaking of which, I have a pretty good relationship with Charlize Theron, Julia Roberts, and Jessica Alba. Should I take these girls into my harem first?
By the way, there is Scarlett Johansson. A few years later, her sexy and charming figure will make him salivate. However, at the moment, she can only be regarded as a big lolita.
But then he shook his head. In fact, it was not bad for the two parties to maintain this ambiguous relationship. As for the most intimate way of communication, just let it happen.
Kate Beckinsale did not stay in Los Angeles for too long. After she decided to move the center of her acting career to Hollywood, she bought a plane ticket and returned to the UK the next day.
As for Xia Shang, in addition to writing the script of "Pearl Harbor" from time to time, he is also paying attention to the box office of the film "Tomb Raider" and the promotion of the film "Notting Hill".
After "Tomb Raider" was released in May, "Notting Hill" was released in June. At this time, the publicity matters for that film have also entered an intense countdown process. . . Relatively speaking, "Notting Hill", which follows the style of "My Best Friend's Wedding", is still a relatively anticipated film.
However, for now, the main topic is still the movie "Tomb Raider". . . After the film was released on May 22, in general, the reviews it received were more positive than negative, and more praise than ridicule!
This film has been recognized by all the movie fans who have watched it.
As for the film's box office, 3,308 theaters in the United States had a total opening box office of 47.74 million US dollars and a first-week box office of 64.03 million US dollars, making it the second highest-grossing film after DreamWorks-Paramount Pictures' "Collision" and Sony Pictures. The company's most outstanding film since "Godzilla."
