[US Entertainment] The Legend of Shen Nong Heroes

~~~~~ Unforeseen circumstances, investment needs to be cautious~~~~~

"Vanity Fair" will do a Hollywood special every March, and the cover is performed by Hollywood stars.Most of the inside pages also pay tribute to classic movies and countless popular stars.

What Yue Xi wanted to shoot this time was the cover and an inside page, which was a collaboration with Robert Downey Jr. to imitate Hitchcock's classic movie "Rear Window".

The theme of the cover is "female newcomers". Of course, the content of the shooting is the rising stars of Hollywood.In addition to Yuexi, there are Amy Adams, Emily Blunt, Anne Hathaway, Jessica Bell, Ellen Page and others.

Although it was a cover shoot, this photo was actually used as the front and back cover.So half of the people will be on the front cover and half will be at the bottom.This placement arrangement also shows the status of different newcomers in Hollywood.

Yuexi, Amy, Emily, Annie, and Jessica all had hit movies and Oscars, and were nominated for goals, so they were naturally on the cover.Yuexi was next to Annie, leaning gently beside her.

When a group of female stars like this are photographed together, you have to use all your strength from the tip of your hair to your toes to show your brilliance. Otherwise, you may not be able to be in the mirror. It is always ugly to lack arms and legs.

But maybe because everyone is young and newcomers, relatively speaking, they don't have so much scheming, so the shooting process is also very easy.

Especially Yuexi and Amy, Emily and Annie have met many times, they are laughing and in very good condition.

However, with so many people taking pictures together, it is inevitable that one person will blink or do some small movements, so the shooting time is quite long.The requirements of the photographer are also very high. After all, this is an annual Hollywood special, and it must be perfect.

"Cynthia, if you get closer to Annie, you can be more sexy!"

"Allen, straighten your back, you're all curled up together."

"Amy, don't smile so sweetly, this is a fashion blockbuster!"

"Jessica, close your legs a little more, it's on camera."

Yuexi didn't finish this shoot until her back was sore and her back was stiff.But this is not over yet, she will immediately go to the next studio, and continue shooting tribute to Hitchcock with Robert Downey Jr.

What Yuexi and Robert will imitate this time is the classic scene of "Rear Window". She will wear a replica of Grace Kelly's costume, while Robert will sit in a wheelchair and pretend to have a broken leg.

"Mr. Downey, good afternoon." Yuexi played a role in "Zodiac", so she and Robert met once, but they didn't talk to each other at that time.His eyes are still so charming, and his height remains unchanged at 174.

"Oh, Cynthia, Cynthia." Robert smiled, held Yue Xi's hand, and then he gently squeezed Yue Xi, and hugged Yue Xi, "Just call me bob Bob."

"Okay, Bob, sit down and put on the plaster." After they finished asking, the photographer took a pair of plaster trouser legs that had been made a long time ago and placed them in front of Robert.

"How do I get it in?" Robert looked at the plaster cast from the knee to the ankle, wondering how he could get it in. "These are not women's stockings."

"I can help." Yuexi raised her hand gracefully. The hard work in the past few years is not in vain. Her arm strength is now very strong, and it is no problem to carry a 10kg bottle of water alone.

"It can be opened and closed." The photographer reluctantly opened the plaster, and the plaster that was divided into two halves can be put on without any obstacles.

Robert quickly put his legs in, picked up the binoculars, turned his head and smiled at Yuexi, "Start peeping, my dear."

Yue Xi smiled slightly, stood behind Robert's wheelchair, then slightly raised her head to look at the empty green screen in the distance.

Both Robert and Moon Xi did a great job and the shoot was done quickly, much to the photographer's delight.

"Cynthia, do you know the movie I'm going to release soon?" After the filming ended, Robert was still in a wheelchair, playing around there.

"Iron Man, a superhero movie." Of course Yue Xi knew that the promotion of this movie was overwhelming, even those who didn't watch the movie knew a thing or two.

"There is a character in the second part, I think you are very suitable, and the filming will start early next year." Robert raised his head and looked at Yue Xi.The black dress she is wearing today is very elegant, but it is not as slender and gentle as Grace Kelly, it is more charming and sexy.

"What kind of character?" Now that "Iron Man" has not been released, Yue Xi has no idea what kind of movie series this is.It's attractive enough to be in a movie with Robert, though.But Yuexi still needs to think about it calmly and discuss it with Brian.

"A super hot female agent." Robert hid some information, anyway, Yuexi will read the script at that time, "Although the setting is a bit inconsistent, but you are super hot, aren't you?"

Yuexi pursed her lips and laughed, her true character was wrapped up in this black dress, and she could only smile gracefully at this moment.

After returning home, Yuexi immediately told Li the good news, "honey, he is so cute. Although he is a middle-aged man now, he is still cute and a little more sexy. He also said that I am super hot Yes, he is Robert Downey Jr.!"

"Well, well, you are the hottest." Li nodded, his hair was all messed up.He hugged Yuexi, held it up to his face and kissed her twice, "But ie, do you still remember Lucy's movie, the script Brian sent you home."

"Ah!" Yuexi exclaimed and jumped off Li.She walked to the coffee table and tore open the courier's pocket with her bare hands.

"Shall we go to the premiere of "Iron Man" next month?" Li went to the back of the sofa, bent down hard, and hugged Yue Xi's neck.

"Of course I'm going!" Yue Xi didn't care about being seen, she wanted to watch that superhero movie right away.

However, before that, I still need to discuss the matter of the movie with Sister Yuling first.

After opening the script, Yue Xi slowly read it.

This movie called makeup (Chinese translation: male makeup) mainly tells about a boy (Jordan) who suffers from hormone secretion disorder and is bullied by his classmates at school.He wanted to hide his growing breasts, so he stole the heroine's (Nora) bra, but he was caught by Nora, so he had no choice but to tell the whole reason.Nora and her older sister Nancy are very warm-hearted people, so they want to help Jordan get rid of it.

But the group of boys in the school continued to bully him, so the two sisters thought of a way to fight poison with poison.They made Jordan dress up as a girl at the prom, to really impress the rough guys.The most handsome boy in the grade (Leo) has long been unable to understand this kind of bullying behavior, so he took the initiative to hold Jordan's hand at the ball and danced together.

The group of boys who bullied Jordan were enraged. They wanted to beat Jordan up at the dance, but they were bluffed by Nora, who mistakenly thought that she was really a heroine who could defeat one hundred.

And Jordan's class teacher (Daniel) is also attracted by Nora, and after a big prom, the two became lovers.

It's a comedy that satirizes some homophobes but doesn't dig too deep.After all, it is going to the box office, and it will not be too bitter to dig into social problems.

The heroine Nora in the movie was invited by Liu Yuling to participate in the role. She didn't have to go to an audition at all, she only needed to nod.And sister Nancy is played by Liu Yuling herself, and several male roles have not yet auditioned.

The director was decided very early on, and it was Nick Cassavetes who had directed "The Notebook".

This is a movie invested by Lucy Liu's own production company, and she paid Yuexi $300 million for the film.But if Yuexi uses box office dividends instead of film remuneration, Liu Yuling promises to give her 15% of the profits.

If the film's box office exceeds 800 million, Yuexi can get almost [-] million US dollars after deducting the share to the theaters, shooting costs, and taxes.

Yuexi was very moved, but she was not familiar with this investment method, so she went to consult Brian.

"Poker Bride and Breaking Up Text Messages both grossed over 5000 million at the global box office, while Peach Red's global box office exceeded [-] million. This film is obviously aimed at the box office. If there is no accident, it should be no problem to break [-] million. But you have been They are all participating in literary and artistic films, and it is still unknown whether the audience will accept such a commercial film now." Brian analyzed it for Yuexi, "But even if the box office is only [-] million, you will actually lose money. Not much. If you want to gamble, it's not impossible. The key is, how much money do you have to invest in now?"

"I have 300 million." Yue Xi hesitated for a moment, thinking of her mother.Among them, 200 million was promised to buy her a villa, but now if Yuexi decides to invest, she has no choice but to postpone the plan to buy a house.

"The investment for this film is 1000 million. I'll give you another 200 million. Then I'll talk to Lucy. The profit commission will be increased to 20%." Brian knocked on the table twice and quickly made a decision.

Yuexi blinked and looked at Brian, "Is this little money just a drop in the bucket for you?"

"Are you so unconfident about your own box office appeal?" Brian was amused by Yuexi's timid expression, "Or, do you think you can't make the audience laugh?"

"The setting is an elegant and aloof exotic sexy girl!" Yuexi argued, she pouted, still a little bit reluctant to part with the pretended noble shell.

"Hahaha." Brian laughed loudly, tears streaming down his face, "Look, look, you made me laugh."

"Hmph!" Yuexi grabbed the script and left Brian's office.That laughter was really harsh and hurtful.

"A lot of zeros, ie." Looking at Yuexi's bank account details, Li felt that the string of zeros was a bit shocking.Although he has also acted in many movies and TV shows, his savings so far have not exceeded 100 million.And the wardrobe is still empty, unlike Yuexi's wardrobe and shoe cabinet, and the bag cabinet is about to explode.

"It is said that the circumstances of one's childhood will affect one's life. When I was young, my family's conditions were mediocre. Now that so much money is going out, my hands are shaking." Yue Xi squeezed into Li's arms, and held him down with her hand chest.

"Really, your palms are sweating." Li took Yue Xi's hand and rubbed it twice for her, "If you're worried, then obediently get paid."

"No!" Yuexi stood up abruptly, put one foot on the coffee table, and then said in Chinese angrily, "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't get a tiger cub, just do it!"

"Huh?" Li opened his mouth wide, looked up at Yue Xi with a confused look on his face.

"Honey, if we succeed this time, our farm will be able to buy it!" Yuexi hugged Li's head and kissed him twice on the forehead.

"Our farm..." Li smiled and raised his head together with Yuexi, looking at the ceiling, dreaming of the beautiful scenery of the hopeful field.
