Lie to me again?

Chapter 2

"What did Director Jones say?" Xie Ke reconnected with Wang Xiangyang.

"Now you book the earliest flight to Los Angeles, and then come to me, and we can discuss this itinerary." Xie Ke said.

"Okay." Wang Xiangyang tried his best to suppress the excitement in his heart.

Jones Eugene is a well-known box office harvester in Hollywood. All the movies directed by him are blockbusters with good reviews. Many American actors have rushed to play a role in his movies. It's good to show your face without lines, after all, Jones' movies are given a very high ranking by the cinema every time, and they are very popular with the audience.

But like many Hollywood directors, Hollywood does not welcome Asians, especially Chinese, so it can be said that Chinese in Hollywood have a very difficult time, either being excluded by race or not getting good roles, and Jones' movies have never There were no Asian faces.

So when "Odd World" released the list of actors and confirmed that Xie Ke would play the role of Shen, the news really caused quite a stir in China, and Xie Ke's status has risen invisibly.Although he won the Golden Rooster Best Actor two years ago, he is still young compared to his qualifications, and Xie Ke is not a person who likes to show off his capital strength, so it is easy for those idiots to think that he is shrinking, thinking that he won the The award was just a matter of luck that there were no strong opponents that year, and there were always some people who didn't wink, relying on their senior status to gossip behind their backs, but now Xie Ke has knocked on the door of the international film industry, and the future is uncertain Which way to go, they have to weigh their own weight before they want to say anything.

Moreover, the character Shen played by Xie Ke in the third part of "Odd World" is not a soy sauce character. Provide clues.If there is no accident, Shen will appear in the next one, and may become a member of the protagonist group.

The role of Shen is set as an oriental youth, which was modified by Jones for Xie Ke. In the original plot, Shen was just named Jack at random, and its function was only as a prop to provide clues to the protagonists, but after confirming After Xie Ke's starring, Jones and the screenwriter changed the script overnight, and finally there was this Shen who gave the film more tension.So it can be seen that Jones attaches great importance to Xie Ke. This is an incredible thing for a Chinese actor who can be regarded as a Hollywood newcomer, but obviously, Xie Ke did it.

Just like the award speech given by the jury when Xie Ke accepted the golden actor, "He is a strange person, because in him, we can see many different possibilities at the same time."

Originally, there was no Xie Ke in the promotion of "Odd World" in North America this time. It's not that Jones didn't take Xie Ke, but that "An San" filmed by Xie Ke in China has also entered the promotion period. In "An San", he is the protagonist, and no one can do without him without the promotion, but in "Strange World", he is just a supporting role. It doesn't matter whether he participates in the promotion. If you don't have a new face, even if you participate in the propaganda, it will have very little effect.

However, Wang Xiangyang has always regretted that Xie Ke rejected the promotion plan of "Odd World". Although he knew that Xie Ke's approach was not wrong, after all, he didn't know Hollywood's attitude. It is very important to keep the domestic market, but there is one missing. It's a pity to have the opportunity to show your face in front of an American audience.

But now Flossis played himself into the hospital by himself, and Jones personally called him to ask him for help, and he had to go over to help support the situation. Fortunately, the recording of the "An San" promotion was almost done, and the rest of the interviews It is also possible to conduct interviews by telephone, but it is better to discuss with Wang Xiangyang to say hello and apologize.

Because I just put the clothes in the closet, it is not troublesome to organize some clothes to be taken to the United States. Wang Xiangyang had already packed the suitcases before he arrived at Xishanyuan.

The earliest flight to Los Angeles was two and a half hours later. The two discussed the domestic follow-up matters and went to the airport. Xie Ke caught up on the plane. Although he didn't feel tired, maybe it was the cup Thanks to the coffee that became extremely bitter when it got cold, but it will be troublesome later on, and it is necessary to maintain good physical strength.

Although Director Jones treated him very well, the American media was not easy to deal with, especially for outsiders from the East.

"Dear Eli, I'm so glad you can come." Jones stepped forward and gave Xie Ke a hug.

"Jones," Xie Ke replied with a smile, "It's really my honor to help you, but I may not be able to help you. After all, you know, this place is, um, not very familiar to me. .”

"This is my agent, Jimmy."

Jones nodded politely to Wang Xiangyang, "Nice to meet you, I hope you have a good time in America."

"Eli, you always don't know yourself well, you don't know how beautiful you are," Jones turned his head to Xie Ke, and spread his hands helplessly, "Believe me, honey, you are really wonderful, you Make them all fall for you, no one can resist your charm."

"Jones, you describe me like Narcissus, please don't describe me as beautiful, I prefer you to use handsome or handsome."

"Oh, it's just an adjective. You should know that beauty has no gender." Jones blinked slyly. "And Eli, Narcissus knows his beauty, but you don't know yours. Maybe Ganymede is more suitable for you."

"So Jones, are you implying to me that you are my Zeus?" Xie Ke raised his eyebrows lightly.

Jones shook his head, "No, no, no, although I like you very much, dear, you should belong to the public."

Xie Ke was silent for a while, "Is it too harsh?"

Jones froze for a moment, and then realized Xie Ke's meaning, Director Jones, who is still a pure and innocent little virgin, slowly blushed, "Eli, it's the first time I doubt the authenticity of Chinese people's introvertedness in you. "

Xie Ke shrugged, noncommittal.

The assistant behind Jones looked down at the time, then leaned forward and whispered something in Jones' ear, "Okay, Gavin reminded me, I think it would be better for us to talk as we walk."

While Jones and Gavin were walking in front, Wang Xiangyang approached Xie Ke and whispered, "Fuck, this director is too nasty, I can't stand it." Although he didn't understand at all, they Did you mention Zeus just now?What does God unfold?

What a beauty, it fascinates all beings, Wang Xiangyang took a look at Xie Ke, although Xie Ke has always been named a 360-degree male god with no dead ends, his appearance is comparable to some goddesses in the entertainment industry, and he is called by fans that even God can't bear it It's an apple to bite, but fans' praise for their idols is almost enough.

Because although Xie Ke looks exquisite, he doesn't show much girlishness, so it is always weird to hear Jones use the word beautiful, although it is not wrong in a strict sense, and if Xie Ke's face is handsome Labeling him also always felt that something was inappropriate, Wang Xiangyang still struggled with the appearance of his own artist.

Seeing Wang Xiangyang's expression, Xie Ke, who is familiar with his agent's character, guessed what Wang Xiangyang was thinking now, and pulled his attention back, "Don't think too much, don't you know the American character? , it’s just a little exaggerated enthusiasm, so don’t take it too seriously.”

Knowing that Wang Xiangyang did not understand their conversation just now, Xie Ke explained, "The Narcissus, Ganymedes, and Zeus mentioned just now are all stories in Greek mythology, and "Greek Mythology" and "Bible" are Every American knows and likes to say a few words. If I really want to enter the international film industry in the future, I will list some books for you to read, so that you can communicate with foreign media film critics, and at least you can understand them. some examples."

"Okay." Wang Xiangyang chose to give up after struggling for a long time and still couldn't figure out how to describe it. The only thing he knew about Greek mythology was the unlucky guy who killed his father and married his mother. , I am very relieved for you. Give me the book list as soon as possible, after all, I know your ability, sooner or later you will enter the international market, as a manager, I can't hold you back."

Qin Zian, the only one who would make Xie Ke an exception, has now broken up with Xie Ke, and Wang Xiangyang no longer has to worry about hearing the news that Xie Ke has come out of the closet from the public relations department one day. Wang Xiangyang has returned to that free-range state, although I really don't want to admit it, but Xie Ke obtained many of his resources by himself, and his public relations are much more perfect than he prepared. His agent is a white-collar worker with money, and he lives a life of traveling everywhere every day. It's the same whether you have it or not, oh no, if you don't have it, you can save a lot of money.

"Let's go to the hospital to see Foer first. He has been nagging since he knew about your flight today. If I hadn't agreed, he would have turned off my cell phone," Jones explained to Xie Ke. The place to go, "You know that what he has most now is time, and it's simply inconsiderate of us poor people who have to work hard under the sun to earn him box office."

"Fur is really disgusting, Jones, don't worry, I will help you tell him your dissatisfaction with him," Xie Ke said, "How can you bully our Jones just bully him honestly."

Jones' expression froze for a moment, and Xie Ke laughed.

"Naughty Eli," Jones knew Xie Ke was just joking, "good Eli, don't tell Foer, or I'm afraid that old Williams who loves his son will rush straight to Los Angeles to use his Money hit me, and while I enjoy being hit by money, it's not good to be hit to death." Williams is their biggest investor in the film.

"Then Jones, should you bribe me with something, such as a glass of Jamaican Blue Mountain." Xie Ke cooperated with Jones with a smile and changed the topic.

"Well, Eli, I can't always say no to you," Jones said with a smile.

Jones and Xie Ke didn't communicate with each other along the way. The two of them didn't speak, so naturally the others wouldn't speak either. Xie Ke turned his head and looked out the window. He still remembered Jones' reaction just now. The background rumors should be true.

Although Flossis only showed that his family background is not bad, there are faint rumors that Flossis' father is a Hollywood investment tycoon.Although no one went to Flossis to verify it face to face, Jones should know a little bit.Even if Flossis's father is not a Hollywood investment tycoon, he is still a person of high status who can make Jones fear the risk of being killed by money.

Jones probably leaked it to him on purpose. He knew that Xie Ke had a good relationship with Flossis in the crew, so he wanted to mention Xie Ke and let him pretend to be interested in this propaganda in front of Flossis. Perhaps Flossis's background can be used to make him less troubled by the American media.

The hospital is not very far from the airport, and it will arrive in a short while.

Flossis' agent, Brent, was already waiting for them at the entrance of the hospital. They all knew each other. After greeting them, Brent led them inside.

Flossis' ward is on the top floor. It is not so much a ward as it is a small high-end apartment, or the kind with two households on one floor.

Several people walked through the small living room, passed the kitchen, and finally arrived in front of the bedroom. A doctor and nurse had just come out of the room. After seeing them, they nodded slightly. Brent asked, "Doctor Barnard, Foll how is he?"

"I'm in a good mood." Barnard gestured inwardly.

At first, the few people were confused about how Barnard would answer this question, but when they walked into the room and saw Flossis's smile like a mentally handicapped child, they all understood.

"Eli, I miss you so much." Flossis had heard someone talking outside the door a long time ago, and his eyes lit up immediately.

"Well, let me come and see you." Xie Ke walked to the window, bent down and gave Flossis a hug.

"Oh, Eli, I'm sorry because I disrupted your plans in China. If you have any trouble here, I'll be happy to solve it for you." Flossis pulled Xie Ke by the bed sit on the chair.

"Thank you Ferrer, I will remember your words." Xie Ke picked up the apple on the side, "Want to eat an apple?"

"The kind I want to peel out a long strip of skin."

Xie Ke took the fruit knife placed next to the fruit plate, lightly pressed his thumb on the apple, and pressed his middle finger against the back of the knife, "Where's Angelie?"

"It's divided." Flossis stared at the falling apple peels and exclaimed, "God, Eli, how did you do it? It's amazing."

Xie Ke shook his head helplessly, "It's nothing, Foer, you can practice more."

"Forget it, who will eat the apple that I cut into a mess."

Xie Ke piled a long piece of apple peel into the shape of an apple and put it on the table, then handed the peeled apple to Flossis.

"Eli, I think you also need to peel one for me." Jones looked at the long apple skin and felt itchy in his heart. "Isn't there a saying in China that you can't treat one more favorably than another."

Xie Ke picked up another apple, and after a few strokes, it became another apple and handed it to Jones.

Wang Xiangyang stood behind, feeling that he had no sense of existence at all, and felt a little stuffy in his heart.

"Okay, Foll, it's time for us to go. You should take good care of your illness." Jones threw the fruit core into the trash can, clapped his hands and was about to leave.

Flossis waved his hand, "Eli remembers to come and see me, tell me if someone bullies you, I'll ask my dad to kill him with money."

Xie Ke smiled, "Then let Uncle Williams hit me with money, I haven't been hit with money yet."

Several people chatted and laughed and then left. Brent wanted to send them down, but was refused, "You'd better stay with this guy, or I'm afraid he'll break his other leg." Jones said.

"I'll ask Gavin to show you our publicity plan and itinerary in a while. You should rest today and familiarize yourself with the process, and then we'll go to New York tomorrow."

"Okay, I see." Jones was still very serious about his work, and Xie Ke had no objection to the timetable Jones gave.

"Eli, look at Foer's enthusiastic attitude towards you. If it weren't for the hot fight between him and Yvette, Judith, and Angelie, I would have thought he liked you." Jones joked, after all, Flo Sith has always had a big temper, and he has to bow his head to everyone, and he can only restrain himself a little to Jones, but since he met Xie Ke, Jones dared to swear by his box office, and Flossis was definitely not there for his father. Xie Ke is so obedient in front of him.

Yvette, Judith, and Angelie were the No.11, [-], and [-] girlfriends of Flossis when filming "Odd World".

Xie Ke glanced at Jones, but did not speak.

Jones was just joking. After all, Flossis changed three girlfriends in one movie and his previous record shows that he is not gay.

"Well, my fault, you and your boyfriend are true love." Jones knew that Xie Ke had a boyfriend, or it could be said that everyone in their crew knew it, and Xie Ke didn't hide it at all.But the United States is an open country after all, and they will not discriminate against Xie Ke because of this. Love is love, regardless of gender.

"I've broken up with him."
