Wentworth Miller looks very good, but he looks mixed-race and has a darker complexion. He is not a traditional American handsome guy.
Moreover, there are many handsome men and beautiful women in Hollywood. If you want to make a career there, you cannot rely solely on your looks.
Yu Dong smiled and asked Miller, "What works have you participated in before?"
"Have participated in several TV series, such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Special Victims Unit", "School Girl", and also in movies..."
Miller told Yu Dong all the works he had participated in in the past few years, and then added, "I started attending actor training classes this spring, and it hasn't ended yet. This time I also took a leave of absence to come back."
of."
Yu Dong nodded, "No matter what age you are, you need to keep learning and making progress. You are not a professional, so it is a good thing to participate in this kind of actor training class. Your English literature major will be your help, but the premise is that your acting skills
You have to pass the test too.”
Although Yu Dong is only three or four years older than Miller and is considered the same age, the conversation between the two is more like a senior and a junior, and no one thinks it is inappropriate.
Miller reminded Yu Dong of "Prison Break", but he only briefly chatted with Miller and said nothing else.
Whether or not "Prison Break" will be filmed, and if so, whether Miller will be cast in it, are all uncertain matters.
After all, today is their visiting group of writers coming to Princeton University to carry out activities, and other things must be put aside.
…
On August 19, Yu Dong and the others ended all their activities in the United States and went to Los Angeles for the last time. The purpose of their trip was to attend the premiere of "Shrek."
"Shrek" will be screened in several theaters in Los Angeles and New York on that day, and in five days, it will be officially released in the United States.
Yu Dong took Hu Changqing to attend the premiere ceremony, and everyone else was resting in the hotel. After this stop, they would go to Europe and spend time traveling around Germany, Italy and France.
After the end of the European side, it stands to reason that the large group of the visiting delegation can return to China. However, on August 31, the Chinese team's second away game against Oman in the top ten Asian qualifying matches for the World Cup, Yu Hua and the others wanted to watch it.
See, after the European trip, they will also take a trip to Oman, and then return to China with the national football team.
On the way to the ceremony, Hu Changqing said very unhappily, "You said it was great that you brought Yu Hua and the others, why did you have to take me there? I'm an old man, and those reporters don't like to look at me."
Yu Dongjing sat in the back seat, closing his eyes and concentrating. From the time they set off until now, Hu Changqing has been complaining all the way.
Hu Changqing did not care whether Yu Dongli ignored him or not, he still kept his words.
"I know, you must say that I am the only science fiction writer besides you in this delegation, but "Shrek" is not a science fiction movie... Yes, it is a bit fantasy, but it is not the same as science fiction.
There’s no way to get him. Besides, my English isn’t good enough, so I won’t be able to answer whatever reporters ask me.”
"Also, when will the new Acer computer you want to give me arrive? If not, I can go to the Acer factory to pick it up."
"Yu Hua and the others must have set up the card tables now. Oh, it would be great to play cards with them in the hotel."
Yu Dong squinted at the window and saw that he had arrived at the entrance of the Los Angeles Convention Center. He smiled and said, "Secretary Hu, we are here."
Hu Changqing also turned around and looked around. When he saw that he was indeed there, he didn't say anything more. He just straightened his clothes and prepared to get off the car.
After getting off the car, the two stepped on the red carpet. Hu Changqing tilted his head and whispered, "Walking the red carpet with you is quite stressful."
Yu Dong smiled and asked, "Would you like to hold hands?"
Hu Changqing waved his hands repeatedly, "You are a man, what would you say if I hold your hand?"
"What do you mean, if I were a woman, you would be able to win over me?"
Hu Changqing rolled his eyes, "Don't try to catch me with this. If it reaches your sister-in-law's ears later, my treasures will be at risk."
The red carpet at the premiere ceremony was completely different from the red carpet at the award ceremony. Journalists were not kept out, so after Yu Dong and others walked on the red carpet, they didn't have much time to chat. A group of reporters came with long guns and short guns.
They gathered around.
"YU, "Shrek" is your company's first animated film. Will you produce more animated films in the future?"
"Now the audience is very concerned about your new script "Inception". Are there any plans to film it recently?"
"Can you reveal the theme of "Inception"?"
"Mr. hcq, have you read YU's new script "Inception"?"
"Besides you two, is there anyone else coming from this delegation of writers?"
"What are your expectations for the box office of 'Shrek'?"
Hu Changqing was not good at English. He only heard a group of people coming up and chattering a lot, but he didn't understand what was said.
Yu Dong took the initiative to act as a translator and said to Hu Changqing with a smile, "Secretary Hu, they are very concerned about your new works and are asking when your new books will be released, especially the novels."
Hu Changqing said unexpectedly: "Really? I thought they were all asking you."
"Some people asked me, but I am interviewed every day, and they are tired of asking questions. If you don't come out often, of course I have to catch you and ask you more questions, otherwise I won't find opportunities in the future."
"That's true." Hu Changqing nodded, "Then help me tell them that I am currently writing a novel and I expect to be able to meet you next spring. Please stay tuned."
Yu Dong nodded and told the reporters, "The only members of the delegation who came to the scene today are me and hcq. "Shrek" is our attempt, and I believe that this attempt will be successful. As for "Inception"
"Space" has been in preparation recently. As for when everyone will be able to see it, I can't say yet. It depends on the preparation situation. HCQ has not read the script."
"Deep Space Company will release many movies this year. Have you ever worried about internal competition?"
"Will Deep Space Company make a sequel to "Shrek"? Will the box office performance of this one affect your decision?"
After hearing their questions, Yu Dong said to Hu Changqing, "They asked you if you could tell me more about your new work."
"No problem, you tell them that my new book is about cloning. The topic of cloning has been very hot in recent years, and readers are also very concerned about this topic. I have also done some surveys and research, so I have some ideas.
."
Yu Dong turned to the reporters and said, "We will definitely make a sequel to "Shrek", and there will definitely be more than one. The box office of the first part will not affect the subsequent plans. Regardless of the box office of the first part, we will
We will definitely make the next few movies. We at Deep Space Company make movies, and the box office of the movie is never the first. As long as we think the story is worthy of being made, we will make it."
Many reporters smiled. It was a bit strange to hear this from YU, because there are basically no movies from Deep Space Company that have poor box office performance.
Although everyone knew that Yu Dong was telling the truth, the reality still made them feel strange.
"Many people are concerned that the follow-up "Shrek" will be released in China. Will you participate in the dubbing of the Mandarin version?"
Yu Dong then said to Hu Changqing, "They all said they are looking forward to your novel and hope to see it as soon as possible, so that you can write it as soon as possible."
Hu Changqing said happily: "Let them rest assured, I will speed up the pace when I get back."
Yu Dong nodded and told reporters, "I did not participate in the dubbing of the Mandarin version, but my wife did."
After finishing speaking, Yu Dong took a step forward and said, "If you have any questions, you can wait until the press conference starts later. Let us enter the infield first. The ceremony will start later and we will be late."
Most of the reporters outside were unable to enter the infield, so they didn't want to let Yu Dong and the others go, but they couldn't help it. Several security personnel protected Yu Dong and Hu Changqing and escorted them to the infield.
After entering the infield, the world suddenly became peaceful. Although there were still many reporters, they all sat in their seats and did not take the initiative to surround us.
Jimmy was chatting with Spielberg next to the rostrum. When he saw Yu Dong and Hu Changqing coming in, Spielberg happily waved to them.
When Yu Dong and the others walked up to them, Spielberg said with a smile, "Why are you two the only ones here? Yu Hua and the others didn't come along to join in the fun?"
Hu Changqing curled his lips and said, "Comrade Lao Si, when will you learn Chinese? It's hard every time I talk to you."
Spielberg can't speak Chinese well, but he can understand some, and combined with Hu Changqing's expression, you can easily understand what he means.
"I'm also working hard to learn Chinese, but you also have to learn English."
Hu Changqing tilted his head and asked Yu Dong, "What did he say?"
"He said that you should also learn English."
"I'm just learning shit."
Spielberg said with a smile, "Are you swearing again?"
You don't have to understand this sentence at all, you can tell by looking at the expression that it is a curse word.
Yu Dong smiled and said, "Yu Hua and the others are very tired from running around these days, so let them rest in the hotel. I will organize them to go to the cinema to watch a movie later."
Jimmy said from the side, "When you didn't come just now, I told Steven that you would definitely be pestered by reporters outside. You came very late. I didn't expect to come in so soon."
"I had to force my way in. Next time there is a ceremony, it would be better to separate the reporters from the red carpet with tape. The brothers on duty today were so nervous just now, for fear that something might happen to me in the crowd."
Jimmy smiled and said, "It's not a big problem. The surrounding security measures are very good. If there were any suspicious characters, they would have been subdued long ago..."
As he was talking, a staff member came over and said to Spielberg, "Mr. Spielberg, the host invites you to come over."
Spielberg nodded and said to Yu Dong and others, "I'll excuse you now. You should discuss some procedures with me."
"Go ahead and leave us alone."
After Spielberg left, Hu Changqing said boredly, "Who else is coming soon? I don't know anyone else. Is William Stark coming?"
Jimmy shook his head, "Stark has not been in good health recently and is not suitable for running such a long distance."
The William Stark Hu Changqing mentioned is the author of the original work of "Shrek". Stark is ninety-four years old this year and is not suitable for running long distances.
Hu Changqing had met William Stark once before in New York, and they had a very good conversation, so he was considered an acquaintance.
Hu Changqing nodded, "Well, I didn't have time to see this old man in New York before. Let's wait until next time. I'll go there when I have time. This old man is quite interesting."
Jimmy pursed his lips and said nothing, but he knew that at Stark's age, he could leave at any time. Hu Changqing did not see him in New York this time, and it is very likely that he will never see him again in this life.
.
"I heard that after your trip to Europe, you are planning to go to Oman to watch the match between China and Oman?"
Yu Dong smiled and nodded, "Yu Hua and the others were clamoring to see it, so I thought it would be a good idea to go and see it. It won't be a long detour anyway."
Jimmy smiled and analyzed, "Among the five teams in this group, the Chinese team is still the strongest. Needless to say, Oman is definitely the winner. The remaining three countries, the United Arab Emirates, Uzbekistan, and Qatar, are all at similar levels.
I predict that you should be able to advance to the finals at least one round ahead of schedule."
"Well, the Chinese team is indeed in good shape now."
Since the end of the UK tour, the Chinese team has been in surprisingly good condition and their morale is very high. The main reason is that their mentality has changed. After all, they have even competed against strong teams like Manchester United and Arsenal. Although they have not won, at least
I created something of my own and learned something from others.
When we encounter opponents in the future, they cannot be stronger than Manchester United and Arsenal, so when we encounter strong teams, even if we cannot win, our mentality will not collapse easily.
"The Chinese team is in such good shape, what are your expectations for their performance in the finals/"
Yu Dong shook his head slightly, "Let's go through the top ten first. When it comes to the finals, my goal is very simple. I want to score goals and concede as few goals as possible. If I go further, I hope to get points, even one point.
."
Jimmy said unexpectedly, "You're not so confident, are you? This group of players is pretty good, and several of them have studied abroad to prove their strength."
"After all, I have no competition experience before, so I just need to be stable. For this kind of thing, you have to take your time. Rushing for results will be counterproductive."
Jimmy nodded in agreement, "That's true. This is your long-term development mentality. But as a sponsor, I still hope that the Chinese team can perform well in the finals."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "You are serious about making money."
Chapter completed!
