[US Entertainment] The Legend of Shen Nong Heroes

~~~~~ Celebrities living in Beverly Hills don’t eat dumplings stuffed with leeks~~~~~

One month after the release of "Breakup Text Message", the North American theaters basically went offline, and the North American box office reached 7000 million US dollars.Although it didn't exceed [-] million yuan, it was already a big profit for the cost of investment.Overseas markets are also starting to be released one after another at this moment. I believe that with the box office in overseas markets, there is no problem with the film's final box office exceeding [-] million.

The most important overseas markets are European and Asian markets, while Asian markets are concentrated in Hong Kong, Japan and the Mainland.However, this film has not been approved for public release in the mainland, so the DVD and subtitle group can only benefit the society.

When the new year was approaching in 07, Brian brought good news to Yuexi.She should be nominated for the Golden Globes next year, and it should not be difficult to get nominated for the Oscars.

At the end of 06, basically all the participating films were released, and Yuexi knew who her competitors were.

Helen Mirren in The Queen.

Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada.

Kate Winslet in "Motherhood."

These three are the strongest contenders for best actress in a drama.However, the comedy and drama categories of the Golden Globe Awards are separated, so Yuexi can take a breather.The Oscars are the real battle, and films of various themes are brought together.

In the history of Oscars, Chinese actresses have never won the Best Actress, and even if they were nominated, there was only Yuexi.To be nominated again today, Yue Xi felt it was a pleasant surprise.

However, the Golden Globe Awards are a little different. Although they are called "the weathervane of Oscars", the judges of the Golden Globe Awards are composed of more than 90 foreign journalists, most of whom are from Europe and Asia.I believe that for Asian reporters, Yuexi can still play the family card.

Last year, Zhang Ziyi was nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Movie at the Golden Globe Awards for Memoirs of a Geisha, and Zun Long was also nominated for Best Actor for her excellent performance in The Last Emperor, so It was not difficult for Yue Xi to get nominated this time.

But the awards are also judged by people.Brian's public relations have always been very good. Regardless of acting skills, Helen and Kate are members of the Foreign Legion just like himself.Who to present the award to, create something to watch, and inject fresh blood all depend on what the 90 reporters think.

Yuexi has never participated in the Golden Globes, but her impression of the Golden Globes is very relaxed and happy.Unlike the rigid Oscars, everyone sat at the same table at the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, eating and drinking, and then watched the host tell jokes, take the trophy, and spent it happily.

But before participating in Jinqiu, Yuexi still had a challenge to complete, which was to learn how to make dumplings.During this time, the filming of "Poisoning" starring Li has been completed.

Because they were about to attend the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, neither Yue Xi nor Li returned to New York.The small villa by the sea, Brian, was also given to Yue Xi to live in for the time being.Brian didn't say much about her tall boyfriend.After all, Li is an excellent actor with no dark history, and he has no reason to cover up this fact.

The United States doesn't care about celebrity love at all. You fall in love, get married, and have children at will, and fans won't be heartbroken.But if you're drinking, doing drugs, having an affair, it's not so much fun.

"Y, I bought flour." Li carried a bag of flour and opened the door.

Yue Xi was busy making stuffing in the kitchen. There was a mess of large and small plates and saucers in front of her.Her laptop was placed on a chair beside her, and a social network page of a Chinese cook who was studying in Germany was opened on it, and the page happened to be about making dumplings stuffed with leeks.

"Cynthia, do you want me to help?" Looking at Yue Xi's battered look, Li knew that she was not good at cooking.And tonight they are going to Beverly Hills to attend the New Year's dinner organized by Brian. Brian asked Yuexi to bring some Chinese food that he likes to see, but he didn't ask her to make it by himself.

Yuexi doesn't want to go to a Chinese restaurant to pack, after all, the guests are celebrities.But asking celebrities to eat dumplings stuffed with chives is going too far.Thinking about the scene at the banquet where everyone was burping with the smell of leeks, Yue Xi couldn't even imagine what it would be like.

So after asking Li to go out to buy flour, Yuexi decided to change to another dish.After kneading the dough, she waited for the dough to rise, and then started to do handwork.

Although Yuexi's cooking skills are very bad, but the handwork is good.She made the dough into the shape of a piglet and prepared to steam it.It just so happens that next year will be the Year of the Pig, so it can be regarded as having Chinese characteristics.

Li looked at those fat and white piglets and found them very interesting.He poked the soft white flour steamed bun with his fingers, and studied the surface layer curiously.

"Okay, stop poking, get dressed quickly, we have to go quickly." Yuexi will take Li with him this time, and he should also know some celebrities and senior executives of the production company, so that there will be more opportunities for filming a lot of.

Li's suit was made by Yue Xi at a private tailor shop, and it cost $2000.There is no way he can't wear ready-made clothes, either the sleeves and trouser legs are short, or the waist is too fat.Even in Hollywood, it's rare to see someone as tall as him.

Li went downstairs after getting dressed, and saw Yue Xi was still putting the finishing touches on the white-faced pig, "Cynthia, what are you sprinkling on?"

"Gold leaf." Yue Xi said very calmly.

"What?" Li thought he had heard wrong, and asked again.

"There is only a very small amount of gold, and eating it will not cause any harm to the human body." Yue Xi raised her head and smiled at Li, "That's Beverly Hills, don't you think celebrities like them would just eat it?" Mantou?"

Li shook his head silently, as expected, he still didn't understand this kind of extravagant life.

The dinner organized by Brian was held in a mansion in Beverly Hills, but this mansion with a construction area of ​​more than 2000 square meters is not his, but a rich friend of his, who at the same time He is also the most important investor of his brokerage company.

But this time the rich friend did not show up at the dinner party. It is said that he will spend the New Year with his family at home.

Brian invited basically all producers, high-level film company executives and some actors, and slightly fewer screenwriters and directors.But for Yue Xi and Li, these people are all familiar faces. Their names may not be known to the audience, but they are well known in this circle.

Compared to Yuexi, Li is even worse at handling this kind of banquet.But he, like Yuexi, convinces people by his acting skills. Even though he is not good at chatting with these celebrities, they still manage to draw lines like ducks in water.

Seeing Li chatting with several producers, Brian couldn't help sighing, "It's great that he also signed with my company."

"Then sign it." Yue Xi was delighted when he heard that, Brian is a very good agent, the most important thing is that he will not arrange any messy dinner and entertainment, and he will not dictate the script.

"He refused." Brian shook his head regretfully. "When he came to ask for your address in Hollywood, I tricked him once."

"Haha." Yuexi laughed, and she could understand why Li refused.Li is a very free-wheeling actor. He hopes to act in the movies he wants to act in. He doesn't care about fame or anything.And Brian wanted to turn his actors into superstars, which didn't suit the career plan he had set for himself.

The little golden pig brought by Yuexi is quite popular with women. She felt that she didn't add enough sugar to the noodles, so she poured some into a plate for dipping.Thinking back to her poor childhood, steamed buns with some pickles, dipped in sugar, would be a delicacy.

The food at the banquet was almost cleaned up, and after the countdown to the new year, everyone went crazy for another hour, and it was almost over.Yuexi and Li hurriedly fled the scene as if oiling the soles of their feet. Brian looked at the couple and shook his head helplessly again.

After leaving the mansion, Li quickly took off his suit jacket, pulled off his bow tie, opened his cuff buttons, and rolled up his sleeves.

Yuexi was wearing a tube top dress, she couldn't get rid of the restraints now, she could only look at Li's movements enviously at the moment, "honey, the way you pull the bow tie is so sexy, slow down, let me See enough."

Li hehe smiled and slowed down as expected.But he suddenly realized that Yue Xi seemed to be just teasing him, "Cynthia, you should liberate your body!"

While roaring, Li pounced on Yuexi.They called the car of a high-end car rental company, so even if the two of them were sweeping around with guns in the back seat, as long as the driver was not dead, they would continue to drive as if nothing happened.

"No, this skirt is borrowed!" Yue Xi confessed the magic weapon again.It is too common for celebrities to borrow dresses to wear, and it will happen at any time to get dirty dresses, but if there is any damage, you will basically say goodbye to this brand in this life.

Li withdrew his hand unwillingly, and his resentment for this kind of high fashion seemed to have increased a bit.

Arrived at the destination, watched the car drive away.Li Li immediately picked up Yuexi, lifted her up a few centimeters in the air, and then kissed her affectionately.

This time Yuexi didn't even have to tiptoe, she only needed to raise one leg to keep her balance.She hugged Li's neck and threw herself into the kiss with all her heart.

But the two of them still didn't forget that it was just at the door, Yue Xi freed up one hand, grabbed the key from the clutch bag, and then fumbled to open the door.

Li pressed against the door and retreated into the house.He kicked the door and closed it, and then hugged Yue Xi's waist, making her jump onto him.

"Oh, Li, I don't need to take the elevator anymore in my house." Yue Xi laughed, feeling very fresh about Li carrying her up the stairs.

"I am your human ladder." Li walked into the bedroom with Yue Xi in his arms. He gently put Yue Xi on the bed, and then touched Yue Xi's waist.He thought the zipper would be there, but he couldn't find it at all.

"Here." Yuexi took Li's hand and moved it behind her.

"Ohgod! Why can't a woman's skirt be zippered in one place!" Li gritted his teeth and cursed.He remembered that the last time he took off the skirt, the zipper was on the left waist, this time it was on the back, and the other time it was on the right waist, it was like a maze.

"It's just to drive men crazy." Yue Xi smiled, raised her hand, and began to unbutton Li, "honey, happy 2007."

"You too." Li lowered his head and kissed Yuexi.Just as he was preparing for the next move, Yuexi's cell phone rang suddenly.In this quiet environment, both of them were taken aback.

Yuexi turned over and found that it was Brian calling.

"Cynthia, I wish you a happy new year again, and you have won the Oscar nomination again! Oh, hoo!" Brian cheered on the other side of the phone, it sounded like he had lost his mind a little from drinking.

"Thank you, Brian." Yuexi was very happy, but there was a more urgent thing she needed to do at the moment, "Have a nice night, and don't get hangover tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Yuexi threw the phone away.And Li also cooperatively kissed her lips that were just relaxing.
