[US Entertainment] The Legend of Shen Nong Heroes

~~~~~ What size bathtub do you need to fit an elephant in? ~~~~~

After attending the party, Yuexi returned to the little villa by the sea.She didn't go into the house immediately, but sat in the porch and waited for Li to come back.Anyway, you are alone when you go in, so why not take a look at the night view here.

Li's movie "Poisoning" seems to have some problems with the release. He, Sara and the director stayed at the party for a long time, and they must also want to win some resources.

Hollywood is located on the east side of the Pacific Ocean and has a Mediterranean climate.Now in March, the temperature during the day is already very high, but it will still be a little cold at night.After Yuexi returned the skirt, she changed into a wool skirt.Now sitting outside, blowing the sea breeze, still a little chilly.

It didn't take long for Li to come back.He is so tall, Yuexi can see it at a glance.She stood up, hesitated for a moment, and then ran to Li.

"Y, how do you know me..." Before Li finished speaking, Yue Xi jumped on his body, wrapped his arms around his waist, and kissed passionately.

Li didn't ask too much, he couldn't free his mind to think about other things at the moment.Yuexi didn't jump until his waist felt sore.

"Cynthia, I have to tell you some good or bad news." Li took a breath before speaking.

"Tell me." Yue Xi hugged Li's waist, and rubbed his face against his chest muscles.It's just that there is a smell of perfume mixed with alcohol on his body, which makes people feel uncomfortable, "Let's go, go take a shower."

"I got a movie, and Fowler's TV series is about to start filming." Li put his arms around Yuexi's waist, and she was still clinging to his body.The two walked towards the house slowly, very slowly.

"Isn't this good news?" Yuexi raised her head and glanced at Li.

"But that movie is going to be shot in London." Li frowned, he couldn't bear Yue Xi, and he also knew that Yue Xi couldn't bear himself.Although his role is not important, a two-month shooting cycle is still required.

"Charles will come to deliver the script tomorrow, and if I succeed in the audition, I don't know where I will be filming." Yuexi pursed her lips and smiled, she raised her hand and squeezed Li's face, "Well, As long as we go to film in other countries, we will bring gifts to each other from the local area."

"What a good idea." Li smiled and nodded. This is work, and there is no way around it.

He and Yuexi walked to the second floor, at the door of the bathroom, Li stopped, "You wash first."

"No, let's wash together." Yuexi grabbed Li's hand and did not let go. She wanted to wash off the smell of perfume, cologne, and shaving water from Li's body with her own hands.

"Hehe." Li bowed his head and smiled, and decisively opened the bathroom door.

But when the bathtub was filled with water, the two discovered a problem.It's ok for Yuexi to lie down, but if Li wants to go in, it's an impossible task.And even if Li managed to squeeze it in, there probably wouldn't be much water left in the bathtub.

"I think it's still necessary to buy a custom-made house." Yuexi looked at the bathtub that was originally an enlarged luxury model, and found that it really wouldn't work if it wasn't customized.

"Look at the gun!" Li was not thinking about this question, he picked up the shower head, and rushed towards Yuexi with boiling water.

"My cashmere dress!" Yuexi cried out all of a sudden, although the dress she was wearing was not haute couture, but it was also from YSL, costing thousands of dollars.

"Sorry." Li turned the shower head and rushed it to his face.

"This is not a formal gesture of apologizing!" Yue Xi grabbed the shower head in Li's hand and rushed towards him.Right now, Li was wearing only a white shirt, which soon became transparent.

Yuexi raised the corners of her mouth and smiled, very satisfied with what she saw.

Li folded his arms and felt as if he had been eaten tofu.It is reasonable to say that a man who is close to two meters like him should not have such a mood, but seeing Yue Xi's smile, he felt a little shy for no reason.

But Yuexi didn't play for long, after all, it's still a bit cold at night.The temperature in London is even more headache, so she handed the shower head to Li, and went out of the bathroom to change clothes.

***

The next day, Yuexi woke up and found that he had a bit of a cold.But she has always been in good health, thinking about basking in the sun will make her feel better, so she went straight out to see Charles.

Charles arrived at Brian's office early in the morning. He brought the script and chatted casually with Brian, "Cynthia stole Helen's Golden Globe, and I'm not ashamed to let her comeo in this film."

"But Helen invited Cynthia to act in England, I think it would be good to expand the European market." Brian didn't think so.

"Helen is going to be a producer?" Charles felt a little strange.

"Hehe, is this an English polite way?" Brian's expression changed, he never thought that he would be laughed at naively one day.

"Oh, Charles!" At this moment, Yuexi knocked on the door and came in.She hugged Charles and kissed him left and right on his furry face, "Long time no see, you are still so... brilliant."

"It's fat." Charles smiled self-deprecatingly, then pinched his slightly fat stomach, "Let's read the script."

Yuexi took over the script, and she found that this time the script was not written by Charles himself, or someone else adapted the novel, but Jonathan Nolan wrote it.

This Jonathan Nolan is the younger brother of the famous director Christopher Nolan. He once wrote "Memento" and "The Prestige". I heard that he will also participate in the production of the second Batman film directed by Christopher.

Christopher's movies have always been a bit dark. For previous superhero movies, his Batman movie can be said to have ushered in a new century.

However, Yuexi thinks that Jonathan's style is not suitable for Charles. Although Charles also likes to mix some suspenseful and human elements in romance films, generally speaking, Charles' films are still very warm.

"He is very good at digging out the darkness and lust in human hearts." Seeing Yuexi's expression, Charles knew what she was wondering about.

"When's the audition?" Yue Xi didn't open the script, she believed that the combination of Nolan and Li An would definitely be able to collide with new sparks.

"Next Monday, in London." Charles smiled and pointed to Brian, "The ticket has been booked."

"Oh, Brian, you are my Tinkerbell." Yuexi jumped up, ran to Brian, and kissed him twice on the cheek.Then she went around the desk and kissed Charles on the cheek again.

It happened that Li was going to shoot a film in London, and if Yuexi could get the role, the two of them could spend a long time together in London.

After seeing off Charles, Yuexi began to study the script.The name of the film is "Peachy Red", written by Jonathan Nolan.Yuexi knew that Christopher was red-green colorblind, so he didn't take the photo, but it was taken by Charles anyway, maybe there is such a reason in it.

The story happened in the 50s and 60s, not long after World War II ended, but everything slowly began to rebuild.The father of the heroine Edra is an excellent physicist. Although he did not participate in the production of atomic bombs, his contribution is also very huge.Therefore, Edella's family had a relatively high social status after the war, and the education she received was also aristocratic.

His father fell ill unexpectedly, so he hoped that the heroine could marry her fiancé Arthur as soon as possible.Her fiancé Arthur is also a very good scholar, but he is a bit old-fashioned.Edla didn't particularly like Arthur, but in order to make her father happy, she chose to get married.

After the two got married, his father died not long after.

Time came to the 60s. The Cold War between the United States and Russia, and the sexual liberation movement of ordinary youths, also affected Edra, who lived in the upper echelons of society.Her married life was boring, and her husband focused on research, which made her feel lonely.

Although Arthur loves Edella very much, he is not good at expressing it.He worked hard, hoping to satisfy Adera materially.Because he had experienced World War II, Arthur knew what it was like to be hungry.In the post-war days, even the Queen had no fruit to eat.

Aedra was younger than Arthur, and the famine after the war was limited to her memory, in someone else's house.Little by little, her affection for Arthur wears off, eventually turning into disgust.

By chance, Adera met Arthur's student, Victor.Victor is young, handsome and full of life.But Edla was not immediately attracted to him, she was beautiful and elegant.Aidela knew that she had countless admirers in this academy, but most of them were young boys like Victor. Mature woman's hair only.

But after the subsequent contact, the charm shown by Victor made Aidela slowly fall.Her feelings for Arthur also changed from disgust to guilt, and even began to treat him tenderly because of this.

Aidela, who was mixed between the two men, was extremely confused by the sexual revolution sweeping the entire European continent.

After reading the script, Yuexi suddenly hesitated a little bit about this movie, because this heroine has some repetitions with her previous movie, although this repetition is only limited to married women.

But audiences and film critics don't think so. They will first see Yuexi's oriental face, and they will also see a beautiful woman among several men, and then there will be nothing else.

Yuexi's Chinese identity and oriental exotic beauty may attract many audiences and judges at the beginning, but once this trait is familiarized, it will become a disadvantage.

There have always been very few Chinese in European and American movies and TV. There are hundreds of dramas and hundreds of leading actors every year, and there are not even 10% of the Chinese characters.Compared with blacks and other people of color, Chinese may be the hardest existence.

In fact, from the very beginning, Yuexi knew that she had long been positioned as "an elegant and charming, sexy and pure exotic girl" in the hearts of ordinary American audiences.Although she also deliberately avoids taking on seductive roles, but given her own characteristics, now is not the time for her to pick too many scripts.

It's not just actors of color who are prone to such things, actors who are too sexy and too distinctive can also encounter such things.Once you are characterized, maybe you can only take such a role in your life.

Yuexi has just become familiar in the United States, and she feels that she should still have the opportunity to portray a completely different female role.Now that the script that Charles has given her is so good, but the character setting happens to be something she is quite repulsed by, she really doesn't know how to choose.

But Yuexi didn't think too much about it, she went to London ahead of time and started preparing for the audition.Director Charles, Jonathan's script, if you don't seize such an opportunity, maybe there won't be a next time.

Before the audition, Yuexi contacted Helen's agent through Brian and met with her first.First, I wanted to meet this old man and learn from him.Secondly, I also wanted to ask if her invitation really counted.

She and Helen made an appointment to have afternoon tea at a restaurant. This restaurant was located on the upper floors of the Shard, where you could see the south bank of the Thames and most of the city of London.

Yuexi hadn't had afternoon tea with the British yet, so she arrived early and was going to study it first, not wanting to embarrass herself in front of the queen later.After arriving at the restaurant, Yuexi saw a magazine, which caught her attention.

"annamay's past and present life, the world of two Hollywood Chinese actresses. "

g, is Huang Liushuang, the first Chinese Hollywood movie star, and also a talented actor who was neglected because of racial discrimination.

Yue Xi doesn't find it strange that someone compares herself with her.For foreigners, any oriental things, they can yell for decades.

But after Yuexi read the specially-invited article in that magazine, she scolded those moral hypocrites in Hollywood in her heart.

Forcing someone to become a bitch, but thinking he is too sexy, what the hell!Most of the roles played by Huang Liushuang in this life are very sexy, but it's not that she can't do acting, but that Hollywood at the time didn't allow it.

Don't mention discrimination to the Chinese at that time, they don't even bother to give you their share of discrimination.This is the most important reason that led to the tragedy of Huang Liushuang's career, bar none.

But this article has analyzed it in a mess, thinking that Yuexi will repeat the mistakes of Huang Liushuang, she is too charming, and her acting skills will succumb to her sexy.

"Bah!" Yue Xi originally wanted to put the magazine under her feet, but when Helen came, she had to put it on the chair.

"Annamay, I watched her movies when I was a child." Helen smiled slightly when she saw the cover, "A talented and beautiful actress, just like you."
