After Timo left, Han Zhou and Wang Xiya had to adjust to the jet lag.
Although I am very sleepy, I cannot sleep.
The two of them took a car and roamed around Beverly Hills.
“That house belongs to a domestic sports anchor.”
Han Zhou was a little surprised and looked over: "Is there anyone rich in China who can afford this?"
The key point is, it’s not some big boss, but a sports anchor.
Wang Xiya smiled and said, "Actually, many houses here belong to domestic celebrities. They want to enter the world of fame and fortune in Hollywood, but it's hard."
Wang Xiya pointed to a house: "Zhang Qingyun's."
Han Zhou was a little surprised and looked over.
"So, why are we staying in a hotel instead of going to Zhang Qingyun's house?" Han Zhou was a little confused.
Wang Xiya: "His wife and children live here."
Han Zhou heard a piece of news that, if released, would be enough to shock the entire entertainment industry and would top the trending searches for at least three days.
Zhang Qingyun, is actually married? !
Wang Xiya: "So let's not go. If we get photographed, Uncle Zhang will be in trouble."
Han Zhou nodded: "It's better not to go then."
Although it is nice to eat for free, it would not be nice if this kind of thing happened.
The car continued to move, passing by many manors of various shapes and sizes.
Here, almost every house is far away from its neighbors.
But in Han Zhou's opinion, the houses here are of little value.
People who live here all want a ticket to this world of fame and fortune, or they are wealthy people in the country who come here to live to avoid trouble.
For example, Zhang Qingyun is a movie emperor in China, but he is not very famous in the United States.
Living here, you don't have to worry about being disturbed.
Of course, there are second options, such as living in the country of cherry blossoms to avoid paparazzi.
These people are different from those who want to run.
These people are simply socially phobic. They just live here and don't change their nationality.
In the early 30 years ago, the richest and most famous stars in the country liked to send their children to Jiamada to avoid being chased by paparazzi.
Then the next generation likes to send their children to the Land of Cherry Blossoms.
Nowadays, many people like to send their children to the United States.
In fact, judging from the development of these second-generation stars who returned to China, almost all of them were ruined.
He has a perverse personality, is addicted to drugs, has promiscuous sex, and leads a decadent life.
While possessing all these characteristics, he is also very introverted and not good at communicating with others.
They are different from the Chinese who immigrated here.
Immigrants have made up their minds to live here in the future.
And they know that they will have to return to their country one day and will not make true friends here.
So I treat the people around me as NPCs, and these NPCs are not friendly at the same time.
In the afterglow of the setting sun in Beverly , Han Zhou saw the camera and the houses that did not look like residential buildings. They should belong to some film and television companies.
Wang Xiya pointed in the direction Han Zhou was looking at: "That's the headquarters of Colorful River, an independent film company under Universal."
"Colorful River?" Han Zhou looked over there. Colorful River was quite famous. The movie "Mars Sky" during the Spring Festival was their work.
Wang Xiya: "I heard that after the president of Qicaihe made money, he wanted to create his own film company, and he was looking for a headquarters here."
"At the time, this place belonged to an elderly couple. He visited them many times and wanted to buy the land for a full $800 million."
"He asked for 1 billion."
"But the old couple didn't want to because they wanted to spend their old age here."
"So the man told the old couple that he bought the house, but they could live there until they died. They agreed to this outrageous condition."
Han Zhou felt that this was too outrageous: "How much does he like this piece of land?"
Wang Xiya: “It’s hard to buy land here.”
Han Zhou looked at the headquarters of Qicai River and had a feeling that one day he would face off against them.
And I'm afraid it won't end well.
This feeling is too strong.
For a company that makes independent films, and science fiction at that, it is inevitable that there will be a collision.
Under the setting sun, on a meadow, two people stood together, looking at the sunset.
Wang Xiya looked at Han Zhou, then looked at the sunset.
The wind blew, blowing through my hair and caressing my face, making the heat of the falling mountain base subside.
"It's great to be here, how about we buy a house here?"
"This way you can live without sunglasses."
After hearing what Wang Xiya said, Han Zhou turned around and looked forward again: "It's useless."
"From now on, I will be more famous than anyone else here."
"Since I chose to do this job, it was destined that there would be no private life that could be exposed to the sun."
After hearing what Han Zhou said, Wang Xiya smiled and turned to continue watching the sunset falling into the sea: "I believe you, you will win many best actor awards here in the future."
On the distant sea, a white sail passed by, and a coast guard ship was chasing behind.
Han Zhou recalled some American blockbusters he had seen.
So, was the sailboat loaded with drugs, biological weapons, or mushroom warheads ?
It is worthy of being the United States, worthy of being the Rocky Mountain Base, it is really powerful, and the sea chase battle is quite good.
As I was watching, I saw three helicopters flying coolly along the coast.
Han Zhou: "Let's go back to the hotel and work out in the gym. I'm almost falling asleep standing here."
…
In the hotel gym, you can sweat on the Hanzhou sliding rowing machine.
Next to them, there are many familiar people.
These Europeans and Americans probably don't have houses here, and they are probably here to participate in the American College Choice Awards.
Han Zhou felt that someone was staring at him, so he turned around to look.
Sure enough, people’s sixth sense is very accurate. If someone is looking at you, you can feel it immediately.
There are two women.
One has reddish-brown hair, the other has blond hair. They don't look very pretty, with long faces and retracted cheeks, which are typical British features.
Han Zhou didn't know the two women, so he turned around and continued using the rowing machine.
After a while, one of the women sat next to the seated shoulder press next to the Hanzhou rowing machine, hung the easiest weight, and started exercising.
After a while, the woman was still curious: "Why do you keep doing anaerobic exercise?"
"I'm losing muscle." Han Zhou answered casually.
The woman became even more curious: "Losing muscle, are your muscles big? Can I touch them?"
“???” Han Zhou’s mind was full of question marks.
Is this something I can bring up when we meet for the first time?
Han Zhou turned his head to look at her and continued to practice: "It costs extra money."
The woman was excited: "Wow, I didn't know you were in this business? How much per night?"
Han Zhou turned to look at her again: "Can't you tell I'm joking?"
The woman was stunned: "You are not honest in talking about business."
"So, why do you want to lose muscle?"
Han Zhou: "For filming."
The woman wondered, "So, you're not a singer?"
Han Zhou turned around curiously: "How do you know I'm a singer?"
Han Zhou spoke in Chinese, wanting to know if the other party had ever been to China.
The other party didn't understand and there was obvious doubt on his face.
Han Zhou said in English: "How do you know I'm a singer?"
Woman: "So, you don't know you're famous on the Internet?"
Han Zhou: "I know I'm famous, but I didn't know I'm also famous in the United States."
After saying that, Han Zhou stood up.
I changed the thruster and continued practicing.
Han Zhou is now going to play one of Bao Zheng and Gongsun Ce.
Logically speaking, Bao Zheng is the most difficult to play, but Gongsun Ce is the most difficult to find a suitable actor for.
So, Han Zhou has the potential to play any one of them.
At present, Yang Hong and Zhang Jiuqun have already started selecting actors for many roles.
However, I want to keep the role of Gongsun Ce for a while to see if Lu Jin can play it.
If Lu Jin can act, then Han Zhou is Bao Zheng.
If Lu Jin cannot play the role of Gongsun Ce, then they may have to invite Zhang Ke, the most bookish young actor in the circle.
In this way, Zhang Ke plays Bao Zheng and Han Zhou plays Gongsun Ce.
It is not difficult to invite this actor, but since this role will surely become popular if played, both Han Zhou and Yang Hong want to leave it to Lu Jin.
Lu Jin has been training harder recently, but he doesn't know what the result will be.
But no matter what, Han Zhou had to lose some muscle.
In order to play the role of Cheng Shifei, who often takes off clothes and applies gold powder, Han Zhou has always kept his muscles looking bigger.
Now we still practice the same set of things, but we cannot replenish protein after practicing, so the muscles will naturally become smaller.
It's very tiring to do this without supplementing protein.
Han Zhou practiced for a while, then leaned back on the mat and gasped for breath.
The feeling that your chest and lungs shrink with each breath and you can almost see the bones under the skin means you are thin enough.
The woman went to the machine next to Han Zhou again and looked at him curiously: "So, in order to lose muscle, you haven't eaten much meat recently?"
Han Zhou finished his gasp and took a sip of water: "Not bad."
The woman saw Han Zhou getting up and packing his things to leave: "Have a drink?"
Han Zhou looked up: "I just arrived in the United States, I'm jet lagged, and I'm going to sleep."
The woman continued: "Can you give me a number?"
Han Zhou: "Number?"
"The zip code of the city I live in is 322118. Please contact me if you have a chance."
"goodbye."
After Han Zhou left, another woman came over and said, "Aimi, did you fail?"
Aimi looked at Han Zhou's receding back and said, "Why would a singer and independent musician like him act?"
Another woman: "So, as the lead singer of a band, why do you want to release a solo album?"
Aimi: "Because I'm poor!"
Another woman: "So, it's the same for others."
Aimi thought of the vast chant and took a deep breath: "We will meet again."
…
After flying for a whole day, I forced myself not to sleep and then went to the gym.
After Han Zhou lay on the bed, he was worse than a dead pig.
In the morning, Han Zhou felt himself being pushed several times.
I opened my eyes hazily.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Wang Xiya’s face.
Wang Xiya saw Han Zhou open his eyes and breathed a sigh of relief: "I was afraid you fell asleep."
"Why are you so tired today?"
Han Zhou propped himself up and climbed up. Feeling his arms ache, he lay down again: "I want..."
Wang Xiya leaned closer: "What do you want?"
"Would you like some water?"
"Are you catching a cold?" He reached out to touch Han Zhou's forehead.
Han Zhou looked at the ceiling in despair: "I want to eat meat..."
Why did Han Zhou want to lose muscle? It was because he felt that the actor who played Justice Bao in "Less Bao 2" was too muscular.
But now, Han Zhou just wants to eat meat.
Wang Xiya stretched out her snow-white arms: "Eat meat? Bite mine."
Han Zhou clenched his hands and took a bite, of course, without using any force.
Then he let go: "Forget it, I can't bite it off."
Wang Xiya: "Tsk tsk, you still want to bite it off, ogre?"
Cannibal? Speaking of this word, Han Zhou couldn't help but think of the scenes in the entire series of "The Silence of the Lambs" when it came to this special enemy.
Suddenly I felt full.
Not to mention eating meat, I don’t even have interest in eating breakfast.
Han Zhou lifted the quilt, climbed up, and then shrank back.
Wang Xiya's face flushed.
Han Zhou: "I'm wearing pants."
Only then did Wang Xiya go out.
After coming back from practice last night, Han Zhou took a shower and relaxed. Once he relaxed, he no longer wanted to do anything and went straight into bed.
The feeling of setting the air conditioner to 24 degrees and sleeping under a thin blanket is so comfortable that I fell asleep quickly.
I still didn't realize I had no clothes on.
Soon, Han Zhou put on his clothes and came out.
Timo was reading a newspaper in the living room.
Han Zhou was a little surprised: "Huh? Why are you here so early?"
Timo: "As the host, shouldn't I take you to visit Los Angeles? Hollywood?"
Han Zhou: "Forget it, you may not be as familiar with Luoshanji as I am."
Although this Luoshanji is different from the Archangel City in the previous life.
However, Han Zhou's brain can remember everything he has seen.
So, after arriving yesterday and looking at the local information, I basically have a general understanding of Luoshanji.
The locals may not know this place as well as Han Zhou, let alone Timo.
Timo smiled and said, "Stop bragging."
Han Zhou pointed to his head: "Do you know what this is?"
Timo gave it a try and gave the answer: "Butt?"
Han Zhou: “???”
"How can you, a Chinese, learn the German national curse?"
In Germany, when people insult someone, a common phrase they use is "your brain is on your ass."
Timo tried again: "I see, brain, you want to say that you are smart, right?"
Han Zhou squeezed the toothpaste happily: "I don't know if she's smart or not, but she has a good memory."
"In this world, I don't respect anyone except the solid-state drive."
"Mini hard drives don't work as well as mine."
Timo smiled and said, "Okay, I'll drive and you show me the way. I'll see if you can find where Universal is."
The bodyguards sat in the back car.
Han Zhou and Wang Xiya were sitting in Timo's car.
Han Zhou sat in the co-pilot seat, giving directions along the way.
When we finally arrived at Universal's headquarters.
Timo was silent.
"With your talent, it would be a shame if you didn't become a coachman."
"If he had been born three hundred years ago, he would have been the Tsar's charioteer at least."
Han Zhou opened the storage cabinet on the co-pilot's side and whistled: "If you were here three hundred years ago, you would have been the concubine of a female tsar."
Timo looked at the stockings in the cabinet and laughed: "Welcome to Amei's inner pit."
After getting out of the car, Timo took Han Zhou and Wang Xiya inside.
A vice president of SpeedPass was here to greet us.
The Chinese market remains Hollywood's largest overseas market.
To be precise, the Chinese market plus the North American market equals half of the global film box office.
It’s no surprise that when Tianle’s president arrived, it was not surprising that Sutong’s president came to greet him personally.
However, the president of SpeedPass is in Europe at this time.
So Vice President Kastberg is here to greet.
Of course, we also welcome Han Zhou.
Although the New World is not big, Casterborg has heard of it. Han Zhou is suspected to be Han Sisheng's nephew.
Who is Han Sisheng? Kastberg may not know who the biggest director in North America is, but he must know Han Sisheng.
This is related to whether Universal makes money every year, or makes a lot of money.
“Hahaha, Miss Wang, Mr Han!”
Kastberg stepped forward and extended his hand: "Welcome to Speed ​​Pass."
Wang Xiya smiled and said, "Hello, Mr. Casterborg."
"After many collaborations, we finally meet."
In fact, the introduction of Speed ​​Pass movies is mainly done by Universal China, which is under the control of An Shengnan.
But the cooperation between Tianle and Sutong is true.
In Speedrun’s recent movies, Chinese movie stars have appeared many times, two of whom were recommended by Tianle.
This kind of cooperation has led to a surge in the domestic box office of Hollywood movies, and Speedrunner doesn't mind giving some unimportant roles to do so.
However, there is a risk in doing so, which is that you will be criticized if the special edition is discovered.
Therefore, in recent years, Hollywood screenwriters have had an additional task, which is how to cleverly arrange a Chinese character or Chinese character into the story without affecting the plot.
Casterborg exchanged pleasantries with Wang Xiya before shaking hands with Han Zhou. “Han, please take me and the president to say hello to your uncle.”
Although SpeedPass failed in its last attempt to enter the Chinese market, it doesn’t mean they don’t want to enter again.
Han Zhou smiled: "Thank you."
Kastberg smiled and said, "Shall we go to the office to talk first, or go for a walk?"
“Although our SpeedPass headquarters is the headquarters of a film company, it is also a film museum.”
"Also, we have a crew currently filming, you can go and take a look. I heard that you are very interested in our special effects technology?"
Han Zhou smiled: "I am indeed interested."
Kastberg laughed: "The movie 'The Center of the Earth' will use a lot of special effects technology, so you can take a look."
The center of the earth? Apparently, someone has come up with this idea without the original Journey to the Center of the Earth.
Han Zhou: "When will it be released?"
Kastberg: "Of course it is the Chinese New Year, my friend."
Han Zhou was happy.
If the shooting plan goes smoothly, "Shao Bao" can be completed in two months.
Then in the second half of the year, New World should release its first movie in theaters.
It should be the Spring Festival as well.
So... an opponent?
“Then you have to learn.”
Kastberg demonstrated a few kung fu moves: "Learn from each other. I like Chinese kung fu very much. I have seen your kung fu clips. You can also do kung fu. Do you want to play a role in our movie?"
Han Zhou: "I don't have enough time. I'm planning to shoot a drama and it will start in a few days."
When Kastberg heard it was a play, he was a little disdainful: "Oh."
But he turned around and smiled: "That's a pity, you should make more movies."
“Maybe we can cooperate more in the future.”
Several people walked in while talking.
Casterborg: "By the way, Han, I heard from Timo that you two are planning a vampire movie together, and you are writing the script?"
Han Zhou: “That’s true.”
Kastberg smiled and said, "To show our sincerity, we will invest in this film, you will own a share, and I will buy your copyright. How about that?"
Han Zhou: "Then you don't have to be so polite. A normal 2% dividend will be fine. There are so many vampire movies. What's the point of buying the copyright? I can't let my friend suffer any loss!"
Kastberg: "Oh, you Chinese are just too polite. Okay, I'll do as you say."
Han Zhou laughed. This is called surrogacy.
We won't make any money from the first part. When the time comes, Timo and I will separately fund the filming of the second and third parts. We can pick up the popularity of the first part for free. Wouldn't we make a fortune?
