[US Entertainment] The Legend of Shen Nong Heroes

~~~~~You city people really know how to play, so you don’t use such good land to plow~~~~~

[Another "husband and wife team", Charles Lee made a high-profile show of affection in Cannes, and publicly praised Cynthia Xi as the greatest actress. ]

On the plane to New York, both Yue Xi and Li saw this report.Yuexi raised her eyebrows, observing Li's reaction.

"Actually, compared to the scandal between you and Thomas, I really care about this." Li turned his head and brushed Yuexi's hair.

"Which Thomas are you talking about?" Yuexi smiled.

"The British one..., um, Hiddleston." Li shook his head, only to remember that both Hiddleston and Sangster were British.

"Charles is like a father to me." Yue Xi held Li's hand and said softly, "I believe Charles thinks so too."

"Oh, then I have two father-in-laws?" Li raised his eyebrows, as if he had discovered something very remarkable.

"That's right, so Charles is also invited to the party prepared for Mr. Li this time." Yue Xi didn't want to pay attention to those scandals, and didn't bother to argue.Her current energy is still focused on auditions for Marvel movies, and of course the promotion of the release of "Male Makeup" in July.

This time it was a private party, Yue Xi originally only wanted to invite the old man over, but he liked the excitement very much, so he asked Yue Xi to invite more people over.Yuexi called over her neighbors Jim and Zachary in Los Angeles, as well as Emma Stone, a former assistant and now a rising star in Hollywood.And Li invited his alumni Matthew, and of course Sullivan.

Then Yuexi suddenly discovered that among the group of people, Zachary seemed to be heterosexual. She was surprised by this coincidence, and laughed at Li and asked whether he had any special attraction for gays.

"Who told me to live in the West End for so many years?" Li shrugged. He lived here for the four years he studied at Juilliard.And the ratio of homosexuality among artists is relatively high, so he naturally knows more.

"But your taste is still terrible." Sullivan came to help the two prepare the dinner. He looked at the casual shirt on Li's body, nodded slightly in praise, "Did Cynthia choose it for you?"

"Hehe." Li laughed, and Sullivan really understood him.

The food for the dinner could not be prepared by the three of them alone, so Yuexi contacted the Chinese restaurant in Chinatown before and hired a chef.The dishes are all improved, and many dishes have the sweet and sour taste that Americans like.

The guests came one after another, and many of them circled around the old man, listening to him tell some anecdotes about the Cold War period.

"Cynthia, do you know Death Girl?" Stan Lee looked at Yuexi and asked.

"Oh, of course I know, the woman who defeated Wolverine." Yuexi has watched X-Men movies and also made up comics, but she is afraid that the old man will randomly check her homework.

"At the beginning, Fox wanted Manyu to act, and I thought it was impossible. After so many literary and martial arts films, how could it be possible to play a popcorn film like a superhero. Then they found Kelly Hu, she is really great. It's gone." Stan Lee recalled what happened seven years ago, "I'm a little surprised that you actually asked to play the role of Black Widow now."

"Comics are no longer exclusive to otaku, and comic movies have also entered the mainstream." Yuexi glanced at Jim, his image of an otaku is really deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, even if he is not, "I think so too."

"Hahaha." Stan Lee smiled brightly, not at all like an old man in his eighties, "There is a chance."

The dinner was very pleasant, and Stan Lee blessed Yue Xi when he left, "Most of my comic characters were created during the Cold War period, and the things that children want to see now are naturally different from those at that time. There is a change. Good thing. I hope you can audition successfully and bring more innovations to this series of films."

Yue Xi moved and kissed the old man's cheek.For a cartoonist and writer, film and TV adaptations are often unacceptable, but Mr. Stan Lee's acceptance of film adaptations is very high.Unlike many older people, they are not resistant to the new world.This may be one of the most important reasons why the old man maintains creative vitality and an optimistic attitude towards life.

With Stan Lee's blessing, Yuexi's negative situation during this period was almost wiped out.She slept very soundly, but she didn't forget to tidy up the rented venue.

Together with Li, they stacked the drinks bottles and cans one by one, took out big plastic bags and packed them, and each of them prepared to take them out and throw them away.

Other garbage has to wait for the garbage truck to come, but they will take the drink bottles first and return them to the homeless.There is a five-cent return on each jar, which is their only source of income.And this year's financial crisis and the outbreak of the subprime mortgage crisis have brought more people into the ranks, and many of them even waited outside the apartment where the party was held, singing all night, just for the moment of throwing bottles in the morning.

After giving four bags of beverage bottles to an old man, the two of them stood hugging each other in this early morning New York City, and they both sighed unavoidably.

"It's a good thing we didn't have a loan to buy a house." Li rubbed Yuexi's hair and said happily.

"Does the banker also take over the farm?" Yuexi raised her head and looked at Li.

"I haven't even been to Wall Street." Li raised his eyebrows. He is also very insensitive to money, and he doesn't even know what a mortgage is.

"It seems that I have to find an investment and financial management expert." Although Yuexi has no money now, she is looking forward to the box office dividend of "Male Makeup".She doesn't ask too much, just pay more than her initial salary.

"Male Makeup" is confirmed to be released in the summer vacation, and the premiere is scheduled to be in July, New York.

This time, Yuexi was going to bring Li to the meeting, and Bradley had just divorced, so he didn't want to use any gossip marketing.As for the two little boys, Thomas and Nicholas, they could just as well have walked the red carpet together.

"Thomas, Nicholas, Charles, Pace! It's really fun for you Europeans and Americans to name you." Yuexi said while helping Li tie his tie.

"Xi-yue-xi, you guys are not bad, you specialize in those with big tongues." Li replied with a smile.

"Heh..." Yuexi raised her head and looked at Li. Although she was wearing 12cm high heels, she still had to look up to him, "Are you fat?"

"I've gained weight recently." Li touched his belly, and the abdominal muscles were almost submerged under the fat.

"Didn't you say that the props you all use are not real pies?" Yuexi was a little jealous, she was working hard to keep fit, so she could only eat protein* powder, eggs, chicken breast, etc., but he would eat any kind of food He stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

"But we're hungry just looking at it." Li innocently tiptoed, playing the whole body.He held Yue Xi's shoulders and made her face the mirror, "But look, what a human background it is for me to be by your side."

Yue Xi looked at the two people in the mirror, and burst out laughing.

Today, Yuexi chose a silver-purple dress from Dior's autumn haute couture series. The sheer gauze and crisp folds are incomparably beautiful. After wearing it, she can raise her height by a few points.And what she helped Li choose was also a Dior suit, silver in color, which matched her skirt just right.

For the non-crew member who appeared on the red carpet, the reporters immediately recognized him as the male lead of "The Detective".As for why he and Yuexi attended the premiere together, their speculation was immediately confirmed.

"My boyfriend." Yuexi said to the reporters with a smile, but she didn't give them too much chance to gossip, so she talked about the movie and charity, "I hope you will like this movie. And next time In this month, I will donate 100 million US dollars to the New York Relief Center and the earthquake reconstruction organization in China.”

The media present were not only American, European, but also domestic.Although Yuexi deliberately did not pay attention to the domestic evaluation of herself because of some psychological shadows, the domestic media paid more and more attention to this actress who worked hard outside.This time the film she starred in had its premiere, so of course someone would be sent to interview her.

Brian also pays great attention to overseas markets, so he arranged for a domestic media to conduct an exclusive interview with Yuexi, but the question still needs to be reviewed by him first.If you can't mention the past, you must never mention it.

During this visit, Yuexi visited the victims first and talked about donations.Then I started talking about my own movies and my future development in Hollywood.And said that if there is a good script in China, she is also willing to participate in it.

After attending the premiere, Yuexi and Li nervously waited for the box office results.

Although the recent economic downturn, but the summer vacation is here, parents are still willing to accompany their children to the cinema to watch warm comedies.Therefore, the box office of this healing comedy with an investment of 1000 million is not bad. In the end, the North American box office was 9000 million, and the overseas box office was 7000 million, of which the domestic box office contributed more than 1000 million US dollars.

"They forgot..." Yuexi looked at the box office summary and said in surprise.

"It happened so many years ago, and as I said, you have audience popularity. It's not about murder and arson. Not everyone has made a mistake about this all their lives." Brian picked up the computer and pressed Get up, "You are 300 million, I am 200 million, 20% of the box office dividends, tax deducted..."

Brian only calculates the gross profit, which also deducts the money to the production and distribution company and the theater.Yuexi finally got more than 800 million yuan, which was more than double her salary.

As agreed, Yuexi donated 100 million US dollars to charity, and then took 200 million to buy a villa for her mother.Of the remaining 500 million, half will continue to be prepared to invest in movies, while the other half will be used to buy farms.

"Palm Springs, San Diego, Orange County, or Napa Valley?" Yuexi excitedly took the real estate information given to them by the real estate agency, and urged Li to drive to see it.

"See what you want to grow, grapes or oranges?" Li started the car and drove towards the highway.

"Strawberry." Yue Xi kissed Li hard on the cheek, "Take the first exit and go left!"

"Okay!" Li stepped on the accelerator, thinking that it would be good to leave this matter to God.

Under Yuexi's seemingly random command, the two arrived at a place close to Orange County.Here is backed by the sea and mountains, far away from the desert, with plenty of moisture, sunshine and fertile land.

"IE, didn't you choose it early in the morning?" Li looked at the land and thought it was too good to be true.More often than not, decisions made at random tend to be poor ones.

Water is scarce in most parts of California, and many cities are built in desert oases.Here there is a lake near the sea, and a small waterfall can be vaguely seen on the cliff in the distance.

"Of course y, you can't mess around with money matters." After getting the recommendation from the real estate agent, Yue Xi began to search for information on the Internet. The owner of this land was also due to the subprime mortgage crisis Such a good place is sold out, and the price is very affordable.

In the eyes of Yuexi and Li, this land is a farm, but it is actually the land of a villa.The original owner also sold the house and the land together, but he never imagined that Yuexi and Li had no interest in his retro-style villa, and wanted to shovel his golf course to grow vegetables.
