    Before going to the United States, Shen Zhenghui called Ning Huan and asked him to adapt the script of "Hurricane Rescue" and come up with a Hong Kong-based script.  ¡ó¡ýThen he ignored Ning Huan's headache, got on the plane and went straight to the United States.  Thomas personally picked him up at the airport, and Shen Zhenghui received a thick stack of Colombian promotional documents as soon as he landed.  "I'm so nervous," Thomas said. "I finally squeezed out a release date at the end of November. There are 4,000 theaters. I've tried my best." The implicit meaning is that Colombia attaches great importance to "Taken".  The release of the company shows how hard the company has worked.  But when Shen Zhenghui saw the real filming report, Thomas felt that he could no longer cover it up.  "Actually, it's not bad." He twisted his body uneasily, "I avoided "The Matrix 3" in the front, and "Lord of the Rings 3" in the back." He slapped his forehead, "How come we are so destined for 3?  ?" "You might as well be caught in the siege of two blockbusters." Shen Zhenghui sighed, "You really have confidence in me!" "Yes, we are very confident!" Thomas said hurriedly, "Please look at it.  Let¡¯s talk about the promotion plan. In fact, I think it¡¯s a good thing that we follow ¡°The Matrix 3¡±. As far as action movies are concerned, ¡°The Matrix¡± has made the audience tired of it, and we just give them a fresh one.  I feel that, in fact, the positioning of our movie does not conflict with "Lord of the Rings 3" at all. ""Lord of the Rings 3" had a domestic box office of more than 377 million in 2003, and it was the annual box office champion that year.  Facing such an opponent, Shen Zhenghui felt that he could only ask for blessings.  However, "The Matrix 3" is not a particularly big threat. The trilogy has gradually burned out the audience's patience, especially in the third part, Leo is flying around in the sky.  Like Superman, people lost the experience of the first film and the enthusiasm of the second film. The domestic box office of the third film was only over 139 million, which was less than half of the box office of the second film.  Warner's "The Last Samurai" will be released in early December, and Tom Cruise's box office appeal is amazing. Shen Zhenghui wonders if Columbia is promoting itself as a sniper.  You know, in November and December, there are a large number of high-quality literary films released in an attempt to compete for Oscars.  "So we need to increase publicity." Thomas said, "We have arranged several talk shows for you, and the copy has been written. You only need to answer the questions according to the copy on the spot. I remember that you are an actor.  I can't help you at all!" Thomas looked a little unable to control himself.  Shen Zhenghui threw a stack of legal documents to Maya Ozawa, which received a "resentful" look from the other party.  "Thomas, I thought I could just come over and count the money and sign the signature, but now it seems that you don't want me to live too leisurely here." Shen Zhenghui wiped his hands and said, "I think if the Colombian propaganda department is free,  It's better for our actors to get more exposure and be on the front page." He shrugged, "I'm preparing for the next film." "Oh, so soon?" Thomas said in an exaggerated tone.  , but his face immediately became shy again.  "John, although this movie is not a particularly big production, it is your first work in Hollywood. Therefore, it is not only important to me, but also to you." "I have come to Hollywood a long time ago.  "Yes," Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "And I don't think there is much need for publicity now. We can wait until the film is officially released to promote it. Of course, I think you have too many arrangements, in our words.  "The key is not more, but more." He paused.  "What do you think of the program "60 Minutes"? Can Wallace come to interview me?" "Well, I think this is more difficult." "Ah, what a pity. I really hope to have a good chat with him." Shen Zhenghui  Tilting his head, "How about the Oprah talk show? I didn't see it in your publicity plan." Thomas wiped his forehead, "How about the Conan show? We have a good relationship with him." "So these publicity plans  It's of no use at all." Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "I am somewhat famous in the eyes of your professionals, but strictly speaking, the American people are not familiar with me. They will be surprised if I tell them what movies I have made.  He shouted, 'Oh, I've seen that movie, so are you the yellow-skinned director? '" Shen Zhenghui continued, "I am really too young, so no one respects me, so why should I deign to do the show myself?  Instead of promoting and selling movie tickets, it¡¯s better to wait for everyone to come and ask me to buy movie tickets.¡± He returned a stack of promotional materials to Thomas, ¡°So you don¡¯t have to consider me at all when promoting.¡± What else did Thomas want to say, Shen Zhenghui.  He already showed an impatient expression, "It's not easy for me to get out of the misery of work. Could you please help me?"I have some quiet time to think about how to cooperate with Jack Cheng this time!  Thomas's dissatisfaction was immediately attracted by other words, "Are you talking about cooperating with Jack Cheng?"  " "I have no friendship with Jet Lee.  "Shen Zhenghui said. In fact, he and Jack Cheng have no friendship, but since they are coming to the door, it sounds better. "Two years ago, "Rush Hour 2" had a North American box office of 220 million and a global box office of 347 million.  Thomas said with some tut, "But Jack Cheng is not a good collaborator.  " "Actors who can make money at the box office are good collaborators.  "Shen Zhenghui responded. "He is your compatriot, so it will be easier for you to communicate.  Thomas' eyes moved, "Have you ever considered who will distribute this film?"  " "I am very concerned about Colombia, but you have to talk to President Mitsumi Fukuda," Shen Zhenghui said. "In addition, this film is only in the planning process. Whether it can be filmed in the end is still a question.  Thomas obviously didn't care about these diplomatic words, "I think you can definitely do it."  He coughed, "Then let's discuss how to do publicity now."  " "You can just do it," Shen Zhenghui declined. "I have never heard of a director participating in publicity work.  " "You are the producer in name only.  Thomas defended, "You should be responsible for this film."  " "I took responsibility by taking pictures of it.  Shen Zhenghui replied, "I don't think you should be too impatient."  It¡¯s not too late to increase publicity when the movie is released.  ¡± ¡°But obviously you have to plan well before that.  "The two were at loggerheads. But in the end Thomas made a compromise. Shen Zhenghui stayed in Thomas's villa near Beliver and did not participate in Colombia's propaganda activities. His daily job was to read newspapers and collect various information on the Internet.  News, and at the same time contact Ning Huan in Japan to check on his daily script progress and encourage him to work hard on the Internet. "You are oppressing students, I am about to take the college entrance examination!"  "Ning Huanren exclaimed unbearably. "What a great opportunity this is. Whether you can get involved in the Chinese film industry in the future depends on how well you do this time!  " "This time I can still hang out in the Chinese circle even if I don't do it.  " "Twins play the role of heroines, don't you think this is a very exciting arrangement?  " "Exactly, unless Teacher Chen performs on the same stage with them, there will be no excitement at all.  Ning Huan sneered, "What's so good about the old man?"  " "If you want Edison Chen and Nicholas Tse to star, it's not impossible," Shen Zhenghui said nonchalantly. "Just come up with the script.  " "You wait for me.  "Ning Huan said angrily, "Don't think I can't write it.  " "In other words, Laobai's performance is quite good. Their team has a good momentum. Maybe they can be promoted to the Bundesliga 2 this season.  Shen Zhenghui said casually, "Compared with the achievements of others, don't you feel that you are a little inferior?"  " "You are actually still watching the Bundesliga C matches?  Ning Huan felt incredible, "I only looked up data on the Internet."  " "The United States is so good.  "Shen Zhenghui replied. "Oh, I will also be a director in the future.  "The conversation between the two ended with Ning Huan's final grievance. "This period of time was so leisurely. So except for Maya Ozawa who read legal documents every day, Inoue Satsuki and Todo Kouchi had almost nothing to do. Inoue  In May, she took the initiative to serve as a translator for Maya Ozawa. Maya Ozawa said that after she understood these documents, she would be enough to become a senior lawyer when she returned to China. ¡°Maybe I can serve as a legal advisor to a multinational company.  "Maya Ozawa said, "Based on this kind of work experience.  " "Negotiate an acting contract with your sister's multinational company?  "Shen Zhenghui asked. "Maya Ozawa pouted, "I don't know what you came to the United States to do. You didn't do anything for the whole day, and it was like a vacation."  " "What I want to do is beyond the understanding of children.  "Shen Zhenghui replied. "What are you talking about!  "Maya Ozawa pouted and muttered in a low voice. "Who is the child?  She stared at Shen Zhenghui with vigilant eyes, lowered her voice and said in a volume that could only be heard by Inoue Satsuki and Todo Xiangcheng next to her, "You must be here to meet an old lover. No wonder my sister asked me to keep an eye on you."  "Inoue Satsuki showed a horrified expression, but Todo Xiangcheng still had a straight face. "What are you talking about?  Shen Zhenghui asked. "Are you satisfied with this part of the agreement? Why don't you send it back to your sister?"Let someone translate!  " "It'll be ready soon!  "Maya Ozawa replied angrily. The doorbell rang, the bodyguard opened the door, and the original owner of the house came in. Thomas walked in happily with a smile on his face, "Good news, John,  he cried, "Mr. Anderson and Miss Mason would like to treat you to dinner."  " "Is it just a meal?  " "Ah, of course I would like to take this opportunity to have a chat.  Thomas replied with a smile, "I told him about your new film plan. Mr. Anderson was very interested and he was willing to invest."  " "Jemili, I remember I said that the investment has been decided.  "Shen Zhenghui said. "Issuance also costs money," Thomas said. "Mr. Anderson has made the decision, so there is no need to argue with the company.  " "I also think that projects that are bound to make money do not require too much discussion.  ¡°No, no,¡± Thomas shook his hand, ¡°In a large company, the first step is to talk politics.  He spread his hands, "That woman did a good job, but there are many people who want her to leave early."  " "Oh, then you have to wait.  Shen Zhenghui shrugged, "Especially what you did was simply to increase her performance."  " "It is also to increase my performance.  "Thomas said. Shen Zhenghui knew that Thomas had a good relationship with Amy Pascal, but he was still a little uncomfortable hearing him talk about the relationship in such a naked way. "This is a good opportunity," Thomas said, "Mr. Anderson  And Miss Mason is not just a shareholder in Columbia.  "Yes, the two of them cover the sky with one hand in the United States. You stupid bird doesn't know it yet! Shen Zhenghui took the initiative to come to the United States this time. Most of the reasons are because of these two people. "Then when?  "He asked. "The day after tomorrow.  Thomas said. "Dinner."  Those two don't mind if you bring these ladies with you. Maybe they can have a good chat with you after dinner.  John," Thomas changed his face, "My future depends entirely on you.  " He said this in a joking tone, but Shen Zhenghui could hear the trembling in his tone. On the other side, Maya Ozawa exchanged glances with her two colleagues, "Are they old lovers?  "She asked in a lowered voice. "You are thinking too much.  "Tengtang Xiangcheng, who has been to the United States, said. In Shen Zhenghui's lifestyle of leisure and vacation, time soon came to dinner time. This time, Mr. Anderson and Miss Mason entertained Shen Zhenghui in another villa, with a French feast  One dish after another was served. There was no one else present. Shen Zhenghui, who had brought too many people to the banquet, seemed to be outnumbered. ¡°Mr. Shen has a preference for Japanese girls?  "Mason couldn't help but ask such a topic at the dinner table, with some dissatisfaction hidden deep in her heart, "Fangfang will be unhappy.  " This sentence simply made Shen Zhenghui roll his eyes, and at the same time, Maya Ozawa, who had heard the clue, put down her knife and fork, "Who is Fangfang?  " "Mr. Shen's old friend.  "Mason replied nonchalantly. "There are people who haven't heard of it!  "Maya Ozawa's eyes widened, Inoue Satsuki tried hard to maintain a diplomatic smile, and Todo Kouchi remained silent. The atmosphere was a little strange for a moment. "I should have let Thomas stay too," Anderson broke the stiff table.  Atmosphere. "But I'm afraid you won't be used to him always talking about work here.  He curled his lips and said, "Looking at it now."  We should really find some friends to have dinner with us." Anderson looked at Mason. "Don't you think so, Angela?" He looked at Shen Zhenghui with a smile. "It feels like you and I suddenly became  Vulnerable groups.  " The waiter on the side brought cream of mushroom soup. Shen Zhenghui took a spoonful and it tasted good. He nodded to Anderson, "Many people can't understand our pain. To be honest, I quite like this time in the United States.  of time.  No one knows you when you go out, and there are no messy documents for you to sign.  Of course, it would be even more perfect if the secretary didn't even have to come with him.  " Anderson laughed, "This is a complete luxury for us.  " At this change of topic, Mason snorted with some dissatisfaction. "Okay," Anderson said, "We can't completely treat this meal as small talk." He paused, as if giving Shen Zhenghui time to digest, "You  Are you confident about "Taken"?  " "Of course," Shen Zhenghui nodded, "otherwise I wouldn't have photographed it.  " A faint smile flashed at the corner of Miss Mason's mouth, "I am also very confident," she said with a slightly sarcastic tone, "the global box office will definitely exceed 250 million, which is 20 times the investment of the film.??¡± ¡°I do have this confidence.  Shen Zhenghui replied calmly. Seeing what Mason was going to say, Anderson interrupted her, "I heard that you are going to make a movie with Jack Cheng. Is it true?"  " "I have no problem, Jack Cheng is still thinking about it.  "Shen Zhenghui spread his hands, "I think he will change his mind after seeing the box office of "Hurricane Rescue".  " "I hope so!  "I'm very interested," Anderson said. "I'm willing to participate in the production and distribution of this movie." Anderson said very seriously. "If there are any problems that I need to solve, please contact me."  explain.  " "There should be no problem with investment.  "Shen Zhenghui replied. "Chunri is also a powerful film company.  "Anderson nodded. "This time it is Hong Kong people who want to reproduce their glory, and Kasuga is just a distribution agency.  "Shen Zhenghui replied, showing full confidence in Jack Cheng's participation in the new film. "I owe them a debt of gratitude.  "What Mason wanted to say was interrupted by Anderson, "Angela, I think cultural exchanges between different regions are a good thing.  "So Miss Mason shut up. "I hope you can accompany me to the study after dinner," Anderson said. "I want to have a good chat with you on this topic.  " Others present exchanged glances with each other. Angela Mason looked much more relaxed, as if her cousin's many interruptions did not affect her mood. "It's an honor.  "Shen Zhenghui replied. After finishing the lengthy French-style Western meal, Shen Zhenghui went to the study with him at Mr. Anderson's invitation. Angela Mason hurried to the study after arranging for the three Japanese women. She was late.  Taking a step forward, I just walked in and heard Anderson speaking: "I also think Mr. Solon's move is too risky, but I can understand his behavior. Maybe for him, uncertain things in the future must be dealt with now.  Think about it, and when things come to a head, you may not have enough means and chips to deal with it.  " "Do you think you have enough chips now?  "Shen Zhenghui asked. "This is the biggest difference between him and me," Mr. Anderson said. "I don't have as big an ambition as him.  " Mason hurriedly opened the door, "I'm late.  "She said. She looked at the slightly stiff smile on Shen Zhenghui's lips. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
