    There was a sudden burst of cheers in the ballroom. The band on the stage ended the performance, and the lead singer was encouraging everyone to support Al Gore and the Democratic Party.

    Wang Lei knew from other people that this was Royston Langdon, the lead singer of Spice Haug. No wonder Liv Tyler would appear here. It is said that they are dating.

    He managed to squeeze out of the main ballroom. In the small ballroom next to him, Wang Lei did not see Liv Taylor, but he met Aroni Saeki. He held the wine glass and grabbed Wang Lei: "  Hi, I was just looking for you to introduce you to a great director, Joseph Sargent."

    Wang Lei looked behind Yaroni and saw no one else: "Oh, Joseph Sargent? What movies has he made?"

    Wang Lei doesn¡¯t know Joseph Sargent. There are so many TV and film directors in the United States that it¡¯s impossible for everyone to know him.

    "Hey, Great White Shark, you always know, right?" Yaroni picked up Wang Lei and walked out, saying as he walked.

    "Jaws? Isn't that directed by Spielberg?" Wang Lei asked in surprise.

    Jaroni smiled: "Hey, I'm talking about the sequel, The Revenge of Jaws. Joseph almost won the Razzie Award for this."

    "Oh, that was too bad, what happened next?" Wang Lei also said with a smile.

    The Razzie Awards are a parody of the Oscars, selecting the worst movies and performances of the year.  But winning the Golden Raspberry Award does not mean that Joseph is bad. On the contrary, if he really has no fame at all, the Golden Raspberry Award will not even pay attention to it, and the film company will not hand over a sequel to a classic blockbuster like "Jaws".  To an unknown, terrible director.

    In fact, it is easier for blockbuster movies, as well as well-known directors and actors, to get Razzies. For example, in "First Blood", Sylvester Stallone, a regular player of Razzies, and Bruce Willis, this year's worst actor, are all famous.  .

    "He has a background in making TV series and TV movies, so he went back and specialized in making TV movies in these years. This year's "A Lesson Before Dying" received very good reviews, and last year, he made "Long Island Incident."  Yaroni quickly introduced Wang Lei, and they quickly arrived at the preparation room at the back.

    Wang Lei nodded, he knew "Long Island Incident", which was adapted from a real gun violence incident. It happened in a train station in Long Island, New York. A gunman suddenly opened fire, killing six people and nineteen people.  People get hurt.

    This incident caused a great sensation at the time. Many politicians and celebrities, including Clinton, condemned the atrocities and called for controls on gun ownership.

    Even so, the gun control bill that Clinton subsequently proposed encountered huge resistance, and had to compromise repeatedly. Finally, it was limited to a ten-year validity period before it was barely passed by Congress.

    "Joseph, let me introduce you. This is Rex Wang, the youngest mayor in the United States who I just told you about. He likes your movies very much." Yaroni pulled Wang Lei to a  In front of the older man, he introduced him with a smile.

    Joseph Sargent glanced at Wang Lei and nodded reservedly: "Hello."

    The other party didn't mean to shake hands. Wang Lei couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, but he still smiled warmly: "Mr. Sargent, I like the film you made very much. If there is a chance, I ask you to come to Braddock to film the film."  , we will provide the best service, as well as the most distinctive and original location.

    "Oh, are you whitewashing your political achievements?" Joseph Sargent said coldly.

    Wang Lei smiled. He could feel Joseph's indifference, but he didn't know why: "No, no, no, if possible, I hope I can get extra points on my SAT score."

    "You're right. At your age, you should learn more in school instead of showing off like those son-of-a-bitch politicians." Wang Lei's humor made Joseph Sargent's face soften a little, but  He still said very rudely.

    Wang Lei and Yaroni are both a little embarrassed. Strictly speaking, they are both politicians.

    Wang Lei finally understood why Joseph¡¯s attitude was cold. He hated politicians, but why did he appear here?

    He shook his head: "Mr. Sargent, you are right, I am still a student, but, you know, like you, I can't stand those politicians who show off but don't do practical things. I hope my  My hometown can be a better place, not the other way around, so I impulsively kicked the son-of-a-bitch politician out of the mayor¡¯s chair.¡±

    "Wang Lei said, he also raised his foot and made a kicking motion, and then burst out laughing.

    "Oh, you did a good job." Joseph Sargent gave him a thumbs up, but then said immediately: "How can I be sure?Not a son-of-a-bitch politician, especially a Republican who is even more of a son-of-a-bitch?  "

    "Of course not." Wang Lei shook his head quickly, then spread out his empty hands: "Look, I don't even have money to buy wine."

    "Haha, Rex, I would like to buy you a drink" Jaroni laughed cheerfully. The Democratic Party always ridiculed the Republican Party as the lackeys of Wall Street. Of course they look down on the impoverished poor.

    Joseph Sargent couldn't help but smile, but he still shook his head: "This doesn't mean anything. The Republican Party also has many Wall Street lackeys."

    "Unless you go out, stand on stage and publicly announce that you support Congress passing stricter gun control, or even a gun ban bill."

    "Don't tell me that you are opposed to strict control and management of gun possession." Joseph Sargent stared at Wang Lei with burning eyes, as if he would swallow him whole if his answer was wrong.

    Wang Lei waved his hand: "Of course not. I support gun control, but I must say that I don't know much about the current gun control bill in Congress, and I don't know whether it should be stricter, so I can't make it easily.  Take a stand.¡±

    "Okay, then as long as you stand up and publicly state that you support gun control, I will believe that you are not a son-of-a-bitch politician, and make Braddock my first choice for filming locations, and even shoot specifically based on your story.  How about a biopic, like "Lone Star Boy"?" Joseph Sargent waved his hand fiercely and stared at Wang Lei.

    "Really?" Wang Lei was a little flattered.

    "There is no need for a biopic. As long as you can come to Braddock, I will Of course, this is not a deal. Whether you come to make the film or not, I can publicly declare my attitude towards the gun ban."

    "Hey, young man, you don't need to say more, it's settled."

    Joseph Sargent said with a smile: "Even if this is a deal, it is for your voters and does not do you any good. I appreciate such a deal and the politicians who make such deals."

    Looking at the wrinkled but still bright smile, Wang Lei suddenly felt like he had been deceived. Could this old guy have deliberately set a trap for him to get in?

    But he still nodded firmly: "Haha, no problem, I can stand outside right away and tell everyone that I support gun control."
