Chapter 319： women are born to act

   "Wow! I feel this... this... ****! I even forgot the name of this director, but I think his story is more exciting than Death!" Corbett said while applauding.

Susanna also nodded with an expression of approval.

After the premiere of Reaper. The audience left slowly.

Many media reporters are thinking about tomorrow's report in their minds.

I didn't expect Huang Yiyu to have such an experience. The process of connecting with Zhang Dongcheng is like a legendary novel.

I believe that the exposure of such an experience will definitely arouse heated discussions among people.

After leaving the cinema, Zhang Dongcheng drove Patricia towards the villa he bought not long ago.

On the way, Patricia kept looking at him with deep curiosity in her eyes, and said, "Zhang Dongcheng, I don't know why, the deeper I get to know you, the more I feel that you are different Come!"

Zhang Dongcheng who was driving was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Of course, I also think I am the most unique one in the world!"

This sentence is completely his inner thoughts.

He is indeed the most special one. Who else can see the future through that old TV?

"Beautiful!" Patricia, who was planning to praise Zhang Dongcheng, immediately changed her mind and said, "You are only a small part of Reaper's success. James' hard work is Reaper's success." key!"

"Yes, I don't deny this. But the same, without my original insight into heroes, maybe now James is still holding the script of Death Coming, begging his grandpa to tell his grandma to find a company willing to cast this movie. !” Zhang Dongcheng said jokingly.

Patricia gave Zhang Dongcheng a charming look.

The two talked and laughed and came to the door of Zhang Dongcheng's villa, and had just parked the car in the garage.

Zhang Dongcheng heard the voice of Nicolas Cage.

"Wow! Look, it turns out that our director Smith Zhang is back. I thought I would forget that my home is here!"

Because the distance between the two villas is relatively far, the voice of Nicholas shouting has become almost inaudible after such a long distance.

If Zhang Dongcheng's five senses hadn't undergone a transformation before, he wouldn't be able to hear Nicholas' words clearly at all.

"Oh! ****! Nicholas, why are you at home now?" Zhang Dongcheng shouted to Nicholas in doubt.

It's no wonder that Zhang Dongcheng is curious. Since the last secret war was a big success, Nicholas has once again become the darling of directors and investors. After all, the theme of the secret war is indeed not very popular, and it can get such a high box office, which is also partly due to Nicholas. With the rising tide, he is now sitting firmly in the position of 20 million worth.

I remember that when he was going to Canada, Zhang Dongcheng once heard Adaman say something, as if Nicholas had taken on some kind of movie.

But at that time, because he was busy with the issue of Brokeback Mountain, Zhang Dongcheng forgot about it after listening to it once.

"I just got back!"

After a brief exchange with Nicholas, the tired Zhang Dongcheng had no choice but to return to his home with Patricia on his arm.

After seeing Zhang Dongcheng and Patricia together, Nicholas wisely guessed what was going to happen to them tonight, so he didn't bother him at all.

After taking a mandarin duck bath with Patricia, they had a beautiful night, which is naturally not humane.

Early the next morning, after getting up from the bed, Zhang Dongcheng stretched out his hand to touch it. Patricia's place turned out to be empty!

She had already woken up a long time ago. Looking at the clock hanging on the bedside, Zhang Dongcheng felt relieved.

It turns out that it is already past nine o'clock in the morning.

I have been staying in the Rocky Mountains for this period of time. Although the scenery there is very charming, after the initial surprise. In the next day, if you can't eat well and sleep well, I believe that no matter how beautiful the scenery is, people will lose their appreciation.

Zhang Dongcheng is like this.

This time, it’s not so much because he came back because he participated in the premiere of Reaper, it’s better to say that Zhang Dongcheng secretly took two days off for himself.

After putting on a coat casually, Zhang Dongcheng walked out of the bedroom.

As soon as I went out, a strong aroma of fried steak came to my face.

Zhang Dongcheng felt refreshed and walked towards the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Patricia wore only a **** suspender apron except her underwear, and was busy with a shovel while humming a melodious tune.

Seeing such a scene, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help coming to Patricia's back with a touch of warmth, holding her slender waist with both hands, Zhang Dongcheng's chin pressed against Patricia's round fragrant shoulders Then, she whispered in her ear and asked, "Did you go shopping just now?"

The air exhaled by Zhang Dongcheng made Patricia feel itchy in her ears, and she couldn't help giggling: "Damn it, don't do this, I'm busy!"

After Zhang Dongcheng moved her chin, she replied: "That's right. After I woke up, I saw that you were still sleeping, so I didn't bother you. I wanted to make something for you, but found that there was something in your refrigerator. It was empty. So I just went to the supermarket!"

Since he bought this villa, Zhang Dongcheng didn't live there for long. He went to Canada to shoot Brokeback Mountain. Even if he prepared things in the refrigerator, after so many days, it would have broken down long ago.

"By the way!" Patricia turned around suddenly, and said to Zhang Dongcheng: "When I went to the street just now, I bought some newspapers for you on the street, Zhang Dongcheng, you are simply amazing. You know? Those newspapers are full of articles praising you!"

While talking, Patricia couldn't help but gently kissed Zhang Dongcheng's cheek.

This kind of superficial kiss can satisfy Zhang Dongcheng, he hugged Patricia's head, and kissed those two delicate diamond lips forcefully.

After a while of rustling voices, Zhang Dongcheng let her go until Patricia blushed and was almost out of breath.

"Ah!" Patricia exclaimed, and said, "No, my fried veal steak! Damn it, Smith blames you!"

In the kitchen, a faint smell of burnt food permeated the air.

The two of them made Patricia addicted to it just now, and they even forgot about the veal steak they were making.

Zhang Dongcheng smiled awkwardly. Touching his nose, he said, "Patricia, I'll go and read today's newspaper first. You go first!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dongcheng didn't give Patricia a chance to get angry, and left the kitchen directly.

Before going out, he had already seen that the beef Patricia bought had a good reputation, enough for her to make another one.

When I came to the living room, I saw a stack of newspapers on the coffee table. Zhang Dongcheng showed a knowing smile. Do it on the sofa and look up.

All the newspapers that Patricia bought were entertainment news related to last night's death.

"The directorial debut of a 40-year-old newcomer, Reaper is coming! Amazing movie!" - "California Entertainment News"

"Death is coming, let you realize how fragile life is!" - "Los Angeles Film News"

"Smith Zhang predicted that new director James Huang's death is coming, the box office in North America will exceed 50 million, and the global box office will exceed 100 million!" - "Los Angeles Daily Entertainment Edition"

"Reaper is a very innovative movie, the concept is good, but the plot is a little tight. However, considering that this is James Huang's first film, we have to admit that he succeeded!" - " Daily Entertainment

"Reaper is a classic horror film. The concept of the film is very unique, different from the general American horror - there is no death in the film, let alone the usual violent scenes of American horror, but through tense music and The black shadows, dark winds and strange ways of death that appear constantly give people fear from the bottom of their hearts.

Death mode is designed to impose the impermanence and helplessness of life on everyone, and it is easy for the audience to have a sense of substitution; and the failure of the protagonists' self-salvation also conveys deep despair to the audience, and a sense of fear arises spontaneously.

Director James Wong is of Chinese descent, perhaps because of this, the film also has a unique Asian horror flavor. Rumor has it he's rushing to make a second horror movie right now. Looking forward to his new works! ”—Film Critics Magazine

In addition to these reports that focused on the movie itself of Huang Yiyu and Reaper, more media focused their attention on Zhang Dongcheng who was not in the movie.

"Smith Zhang, who is called a legendary director by Ms. Oprah, has added a rich and colorful description of his legendary experience! According to the director who died, James' narration after the film screening makes us more aware of Smith's farsightedness. Eyes feel admiration." -Entertainment Weekly

This report not only copied Huang Yiyu's speech at the end of the premiere, but also focused on Zhang Dongcheng. The reporter added a story with twists and turns based on imagination.

Even after Zhang Dongcheng himself has read this story, he will have a feeling that he is so great!

No wonder Patricia was so excited just now!

A few other newspapers, the above reports seem a bit old-fashioned and lackluster.

Zhang Dongcheng casually flipped through the newspapers before putting down the other newspapers. Even if he didn't read it carefully, Zhang Dongcheng understood that other newspapers were nothing more than publishing Huang Yiyu's experience of getting acquainted with himself with artistic rendering.

After reading these newspapers briefly, Patricia has already prepared breakfast.

"Hey! Smith, come and try my fried veal steak and see how it tastes!" Patricia greeted Zhang Dongcheng after she came to the restaurant with a plate.

After a hearty breakfast, Zhang Dongcheng drove Patricia to the company.

"Adaman! Have the box office statistics for the first day of Reaper come out?" Zhang Dongcheng found Adaman immediately after coming to the company.

"Of course!" Adaman replied with a smile on his face: "We have already contacted the theaters more than ten minutes ago. After statistics and calculations, the total box office on the first day of Reaper is 5.3 million US dollars. !"

Such a result is undoubtedly a great start for a newcomer. There are very few movies in the history of Hollywood that have a box office of more than 10 million on the first day. Compared with the huge film production, this number is completely negligible.

Huang Yiyu's first film's first-day box office can exceed 5 million, which is much stronger than Zhang Dongcheng's previous two big smoking guns. Of course, Zhang Dongcheng added bit by bit from the two canvases at that time. The box office figures are progressing in an anti-growth manner.

"Did you tell James the news?" Zhang Dongcheng asked with a smile.

"Of course!" Adaman nodded vigorously, with a narrow smile on his face, and said, "Smith, you don't know how excited James was when he heard the news! Oh God, he announced on the spot, Invite the entire company to drink!"

"Really?" Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help laughing at Huang Yiyu's gaffe. Invite the whole company to drink? Thank goodness he figured it out!

Zhang Dongcheng shook his head with a smile, and asked Adaman: "The **** of death is coming. You still have to pay close attention to the follow-up promotion! Although I said in front of the reporter that the North American box office of this movie will exceed 5,000." Ten thousand, but this is just the most standard in my heart, do you understand?"

Adaman smiled immediately when he heard the words, shrugged, and said, "I will contact the newspaper and Mr. Blaise. But Smith, I think you may have to meet an alumni today!"

"Alumni?" Zhang Dongcheng frowned slightly, and said, "Adaman, you are talking about Atlante, right?"

"Of course, who else is there besides her?" Adaman nodded and explained: "Atlante signed with our company a few days ago. Because there are no new movies to start shooting during this period, I temporarily arrange What do you think of her as your secretary?"

Seeing Adaman's malicious smile, Zhang Dongcheng said solemnly: "Adaman, I don't think this would be a good idea. Do you remember what I said? This woman named Atlanta is scheming. It's too deep!"

"It seems that our Director Smith hasn't been confused by the beauty's appearance!" Of course Adalman could see Atlante's careful thinking, and he said with a smile: "I've arranged for her to work as an operator for the time being! I It won't be long before she can't hold on and leaves!"

"Perhaps!" Zhang Dongcheng didn't think Adaman's idea could be realized.

This woman in Atlanta is very shrewd. Just look at her very simple little trick, which disabled Gavin and Los Angeles media information. Then you can know how vicious this woman is for her purpose.

It is easier said than done to make her retreat in the face of difficulties!

Although the development of the matter exceeded Atlanta's expectations in the end, Zhang Dongcheng became the party who benefited the most. But this cannot ignore her role in it.

"Adaman, let Atlanta come to my office. I think it's better for me to meet her in person!" Zhang Dongcheng finally decided to be a woman who will do whatever it takes to succeed.

"OK!" Adaman suddenly showed a mischievous smile, and said, "I'll notify you right away!"

After watching Adaman leave, Zhang Dongcheng began to worry about how to arrange for the woman Atlanta.

Boom boom boom!

Just when Zhang Dongcheng was at a loss, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in, please!" Zhang Dongcheng sat up. Loudly said.

After the door is opened. Zhang Dongcheng finally met this woman who made him dread but had never met before.

Long golden hair, with natural big waves at the tip of the hair, which seems to be natural. She has a pretty fine nose, big eyes, and the blue pupils seem to contain a pool of spring water. The three-dimensional facial features are like the perfect goddess statues in ancient Greece.

Fair skin does not have the disadvantage of large pores of ordinary Caucasians. On the contrary, her skin looks very delicate. Even ordinary business attire can't hide that bumpy figure.

A very feminine person! This was Zhang Dongcheng's first impression after seeing the woman in front of him.

Atlante, the beauty of the London Film Academy! The person who Zhang Dongzeng casually pulled out as a shield because of the poem "Flying Birds and Fishes".

"Hello, Smith!" A crisp voice came from the mouth of the woman in front of her.

Zhang Dongcheng was stunned for a moment, then said: "Please sit down!"

Seeing Atlante sitting in front of him, Zhang Dongcheng didn't know how to communicate with the woman in front of him for a while.

I have to admit that Atlanta is really beautiful! Her beauty seems to transcend the limitations of race. Although he is of Caucasian race, Zhang Dongcheng, who is of yellow race, felt sincerely amazed.

"Miss Atlante. Are you still used to it in the company during this time?" Zhang Dongcheng coughed dryly and asked without words.

"It's okay." Atlante lowered his head with a bit of resentment in his tone, and said, "It's just that I don't like my current job very much. Mr. Smith, you know, I'm a student of the Department of Performance , I want to be in a movie, not an operator!"

Although Atlanta meant to complain about Zhang Dongcheng's arrangements for her, her words did not cause any dissatisfaction, but subconsciously wanted to comfort her.

"Oh. If the work is not satisfactory, I can only say sorry!" Zhang Dongcheng is not a person who is obsessed with sex. Besides, Atlanta is beautiful, but Patricia is not bad either.

"Miss Atlante, the time when you joined the company was a bit embarrassing. During this time, whether it's my Brokeback Mountain, or The Matrix and the Grudge, which started filming not long ago, the casting work has been completed! I think your request may have been a while! You know. It's not that easy to start a movie. Isn't it?"

"Yes, I understand!" Atlante raised her head slightly, and after a look of grievance flashed across her face, she lowered her head again.

This woman has amazing acting skills! Zhang Dongcheng was secretly astonished.

Although she only raised her head for a moment and then lowered it just now, it was precisely that fleeting grievance, combined with her naturally beautiful appearance, that instantly made Zhang Dongcheng feel guilty.

Fortunately, Zhang Dongcheng is a director himself, and he has been vigilant against her all the time, so he discovered that Atlante was deliberately pretending just now.

No wonder some people say that women are born to act. The Atlanta in front of me is acting almost every day, every moment, and every second. She completely integrated what she learned in school into her own life.

Such a woman, Zhang Dongcheng only has two words for her evaluation, hypocrisy!

Although her acting skills are very good, she will still reveal clues in front of a real director. No one would like to have a close relationship with a hypocritical person. Zhang Dongcheng is no exception.

Maybe it is because of this that Zhang Dongcheng did not find any news about her in the future information?

"I'm sorry, if you don't mind, maybe you will continue to be an operator for a while!" Zhang Dongcheng shrugged and said unmoved.

Atlante gritted his teeth secretly. Sitting there without saying a word, she looked aggrieved, like a little daughter-in-law who was bullied by her husband's family.

Boom boom boom!

The knock on the door rang again. Then Patricia's voice came from outside the door. "Smith, do you need coffee?"

Zhang Dongcheng's face turned aside, and he thought to himself, **** it, why did Patricia come here at this time?

He didn't know at all, after Adaman called Atlante to Zhang Dongcheng's office just now, he calculated the time and notified Patricia. The bad mentality of this guy is evident.

"Please come in. Thank you, Patricia!" Zhang Dongcheng bit the bullet and agreed.

Patricia came to the office carrying a tray with two steaming cups of coffee on it.

After handing over the coffee to Zhang Dongcheng and Atlante respectively, Patricia did not leave, but as if declaring her sovereignty, she came to Zhang Dongcheng's side, her tender lotus-like arm pressed against Zhang Dongcheng's On the shoulder, wantonly expressing the intimacy between himself and Zhang Dongcheng in front of Atlanta.

"Okay, Patricia, don't do this!" Zhang Dongcheng smiled wryly, how could he not see Patricia's intentions.

Of course, Zhang Dongcheng could tell, let alone Atlanta sitting on the sofa. Women, in terms of emotions, are naturally more sensitive than men.

Atlante lowered his head, sipping coffee without saying a word.

The communication with Atlanta this time, because of Patricia's sudden appearance, ended in a no-brainer.

Zhang Dongcheng didn't stay in Los Angeles for a long time, he came back this time to attend the premiere of Death is Coming. After two days of delay, the screening of Reaper's Arrival is on track.

I believe that as long as there are no accidents, the box office figures will definitely exceed Zhang Dongcheng's prediction before the premiere!

Before leaving, Zhang Dongcheng handed over the overseas screening of Reaper to Adaman, and flew back to Canada on the same day.

As soon as he returned to the set, Zhang Dongcheng discovered something that surprised him. Orlando seemed to have been beaten, and there were three bruises on his forehead.
