[US Entertainment] The Legend of Shen Nong Heroes

~~~~~ Do you Britons copy your names? ~~~~~

"If you have the opportunity to produce and direct a movie yourself, what would you like to make the most?" Tarun asked curiously during the meal.

"Shakespeare's works." Richard is indeed a typical British academic, and he joined the Royal Shakespeare Company in his early years. It is impossible not to love Shakespeare.

"A warm comedy, it's better to be performed by a family and pets." Li is very practical, he holds Yuexi's hand, and doesn't mind showing his affection in front of the two.

"Oh!" Talen and Richard both yelled, but their emotions were slightly different.After all, Taron is still young and single.

"I want to make a documentary." Yuexi smiled and shook Li back, "Comparing human and gorilla children at the same growth stage, so that humans can realize that, in fact, our body Animality has absolutely not diminished with the development of civilization."

The three men present were all stunned, and showed different symptoms of anxiety.Especially Li, he panicked when he thought that sometimes Yuexi would regard him as a creature like a gorilla.

"Honey, don't be afraid, even though you are hairy, you are still a handsome human male in my eyes." Yue Xi suppressed a smile and rubbed the messy hair on Li's head.

"Then can I buy a tractor?" Li took the opportunity to ask.

"..." Yuexi opened her mouth, not knowing how to respond. Does her praise of his handsomeness have anything to do with buying a tractor, "Can you drive it?"

"My father can." Li Xing said cheerfully. He has always yearned for rural life because of his father's influence.But because Yuexi bought the house and the land, so to drive a tractor on it, Li felt that Yuexi's consent should be sought.

"Let's talk after you learn it." Yuexi's impression of tractors is the kind of tattered agricultural machines that smoked black smoke and could smash their buttocks when sitting on them in the countryside when they were young.

"Yeah!" Li happily stretched out his hand and gave Richard a high five.

Yue Xi looked at these two people, feeling like she had been designed.But Talen soon began to liven up the atmosphere again, so this matter was passed.

This week in the UK was very pleasant. Before leaving, Li invited Tarun and Richard to their new home again.Yuexi also joked that if she had money, she would definitely star in a movie with the two of them.

After returning to Hollywood, the two continued to devote themselves to work.Li has been out of work for nearly half a year, and finally two films have started shooting, so his passion for agriculture has been transferred to acting at once.

While waiting for the audition results, Yuexi invited Charles to come over as a guest.After moving to a new house, she will not forget her mentor.It's just that the garden wasn't done well some time ago, and weeds grew in many places, so I'm sorry to ask him to come over.

But in the fertile soil of California, as long as there is no shortage of water, anything will grow back.It's really summer now, and although the rest of California has started to experience severe drought, because this land is next to a lake, irrigation is not a problem at all.Those potatoes, tomatoes, cucumbers, grow by themselves.The only regret is that there is a lack of water upstream, so the waterfalls are all dry.

"It's so beautiful." Charles looked at Yuexi's Victorian house and praised.

"Yeah, I just bought it because I think it's beautiful, the land is fertile, and it's good to grow anything." Yuexi said with a smile, "and the price is not too expensive. Although it's a bit inappropriate to say that, but Thanks also to the subprime mortgage crisis.”

"Take this opportunity to get more movies, stock up on some land, and then grow some so-called green vegetables to sell to the local tyrants in Hollywood." Charles said very down-to-earth, "Also, I will start shooting a new movie next year."

"Really, what's the subject matter?" Yuexi became excited when she heard it, and she also knew that Charles would tell herself this plan now, and she must be ready to fulfill the previous promise.

"Lesbian." Charles said, looking at Lee.

"It's okay, honey, I've played women too." Li Hehe laughed, and then shaved his hair backwards with his hands.

"You have changed a lot since then, do you know y?" Yue Xi smiled helplessly, and then smoothed his messy hair with his hands.

"Really?" Li felt a little unbelievable, he was obviously still the same.He didn't realize at all that Yuexi was talking about appearance.Compared with seven years ago, he is a little bigger and has more body hair.Of course, it looks a lot more mature.

"This movie is called Liuli Jing, and it will consist of three stories, which take place in the Han Dynasty, the end of the Qing Dynasty, and modern times. In the first story, you are Dou Wan, the wife of Liu Sheng, King Jing of Zhongshan. The second female is an orchid, who is Liu Sheng gave you a gift. In the second story, you are a self-combed girl on the southeast coast in the late Qing Dynasty. The second girl is an Englishman who came to China with her husband. The third story is still under construction. Modern women There are too many films with the same subject matter." Seeing the two of them arguing, Charles continued talking.

"Why did an ancient Chinese emperor send a woman to his wife? What does self-comb girl mean?" Li was at a loss when he heard what Charles said.

Charles raised his chin, trying to test Yuexi's historical knowledge.

"Liu Sheng is very unrestrained. He has more than 100 sons, and no one knows how many daughters he has. As his wife, she must be very lonely. The status of women in the Han Dynasty was quite high, and the folk customs Simple, so it makes sense for a husband to want his wife to be happy. As for a self-combed woman, it means that the woman combs her hair by herself, indicating that she will not marry. Because the status of women in modern times has declined very quickly, marrying a man will be abused. It is also miserable not to have a son, so many women would rather not marry. After becoming a self-made girl, you can still go out to do business, which is completely different from the life of a married man.” Yuexi learned this, of course, not from textbooks , She usually reads very complicated books, and occasionally knows these anecdotes.

"Then why is it called Liulijing, do you know?" Charles smiled and continued to ask.

"Well..." Yuexi looked at Li and blinked at him, "In ancient times, there was a term for lesbians called Mojing. Mo means to dawdle. And mirror means to have a relationship. The physical characteristics of the two are the same, just like looking in a mirror. Of course, the reason why it is called the glass mirror is probably because no matter what form of love, it is as fragile and illusory as glass."

"Hmm." Charles nodded with satisfaction, "Glass making skills were superb in the Han Dynasty, but they were basically used by the royal family, which also fits Dou Wan's identity."

"Wow!" Li blushed slightly and exclaimed, "I can't help but want to read the script first."

"Where is the second female candidate?" Yuexi suddenly became excited. Since she is Hu Ji and the wife of a British businessman, she must be chosen among European and American actresses.

"Gal Gadot, Eva Green, Natalie Portman. But if there are newcomers who are suitable, I can also use it. Even if the size of this film is still too large, maybe Natalie won't be willing to act." Charles shrugged helplessly. Many female stars have different development paths, and their acceptance of nudity is also different.

"Then Eva must be fine." Yue Xi still remembered the weird behavior when she was so shocked to re-read three times when she watched "Dream of Opera in Paris".

"This will definitely be a great movie." Li was already extremely excited when he heard it. Of course, he only started from an artistic point of view.

***

Lee's new film "The Great Dane Mamadu" will start shooting soon, and the results of Yuexi's audition will also come out.Finch chose a newcomer to play the role, but Nolan gave Yuexi a chance to play the role of a college student.

When "Inception" hadn't started casting or even finished the script, Nolan chose Leonardo as the leading actor.The other supporting roles are selected through auditions. In addition to Yuexi, there are Tom Hardy, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Marion Cotillard, Ken Watanabe, and Cillian. Murphy.Of course, there is also the golden supporting role that Nolan will appear in every movie, Michael Caine.

When she got this role, Yuexi was a little surprised. She thought that Nolan, like Finch, thought she was not suitable for the role of a student, especially after she played the role of Black Widow.

"I only thought of you after watching the rough cut of "The Future of Humanity." Nolan explained to Yuexi, "And I don't mind colliding with Marvel movies, I'm a DC party."

Yuexi laughed, Nolan's Batman series really made DC a fortune, and it also allowed the British director to create a world in the United States.

Before shooting started, Nolan held a meeting with the main creative team to explain the theme of the film.Nolan is a meticulous person, but his rigor is a bit different from Finch.

Because these two directors are both young, and their styles are dark and suspenseful, they are often compared.But Yuexi felt that the styles of the two were actually very different. Ordinary audiences could only see the edited parts in the movie theater, but as actors, they experienced more.

The editing and lens use of Nolan's films are unparalleled, and the narrative is quite characteristic. In the words of movie fans, it is "brain-burning and blind".

Although Fincher has also made many suspense thrillers, in his films, suspense is not the main feature, but the story itself.Under the seemingly ordinary lens, the coldness revealed makes people tremble.

It is a great honor for Yuexi to cooperate with directors like Fincher and Nolan, and there are so many excellent actors as partners.

When she was in middle school, Yuexi also crazily liked Leonardo.After entering Juilliard to study, she has more respect for old actors like Michael Caine.There is also Marion, the actress who has just performed "Life in the Rose", and Yuexi also likes it very much.The two met at the British Academy Awards and the European Film Awards, but they never expected to have the opportunity to work together.

Tom Hardy and Joseph are about the same age as Yuexi, and they are all rising stars in Hollywood. The three of them hit it off as soon as they met.

"I've worked with two Toms, so I can't call you Tom anymore." Yuexi said to Hardy seriously.

"Then call me Thomas, my middle name," Hardy replied.

"Thomas can't do it either. Hiddleston's middle name is also Thomas, and there is Sanchez." Yuexi shrugged.

"Then there's only Edward?" Hardy suddenly felt a sense of desperation about the English name pool.

"Edward is ok, you are the first British actor I have worked with, named Edward." Yue Xi laughed, seeing Hardy's nervous expression, she really couldn't help it.

"What about Joseph, don't you know a lot of Jews named Joseph too?" Leavitt interjected.

"No, I only know one, named Stan Lee." Yuexi shrugged again, and asked Joseph, "Do you like Chinese food?"
