Hollywood Lover

Chapter 180: You are playing with me!

  Sorry, I have something to do today, so I can only post two chapters together, and the number of words will not be short. ~~

  ---

  The script of the Wachowski brothers has been placed in the patent application of the script at this time, and no one cares about it for nearly ten years. There have been countless directors who have watched this script, but no director has ever thought it was worth shooting.

  But our director Smith, after encountering such a situation, resolutely chose to spend a high price of one million dollars to buy the copyright of this script from the Wachowski Brothers!

  All we can say is that Smith was really blown away by the previous victory. Does he think that even a bad script can produce miracles in his hands? Smith, wake up! That's not a miracle, it's a miracle! "

   This unabashedly satirical article in the Los Angeles Daily News has attracted a large number of readers.

  The next day, countless media companies began to follow up, and everyone tacitly began to bad-mouth Zhang Dongcheng and The Matrix. Among them, Los Angeles Media Information is naturally the most hardworking company.

"Ender! Don't worry, we really caught this guy this time!" Gavin's legs were raised on the coffee table, with a sinister look in his eyes, and he said triumphantly: "This yellow man Monkey, it's just two **** lucks, but he is so arrogant to shoot a script that many people have seen, but no one wants to shoot. I'm sure, he will stumble this time, and this The somersault is so big that it is likely to make him collapse!"

  When Ender heard this, he showed a sneer similar to Gavin's. Said: "I really want to see how desperate Smith will be when he learns that the box office and word-of-mouth have failed! I believe that my movie will definitely beat him!"

  During this period, Ander finally got the chance to direct the film alone. The investment cost of the film he shot was also not small, although it was not as high as Zhang Dongcheng's previous The Mummy, which reached 80 million US dollars. But it is almost the same as his current investment in The Matrix.

  Ander really got all his energy ready to take revenge on Zhang Dongcheng this time. When he was at the Oscars, he was a little disheartened when he saw Zhang Dongcheng win the statuette he had always dreamed of.

  But now knowing that Zhang Dongcheng has done such a stupid thing, Ander is completely relieved!

  He just wanted to defeat Zhang Dongcheng with a movie whose investment was not comparable to The Matrix, so that he could truly prove that Ander is much better than Zhang Dongcheng!

  -----

   "Adaman, do you think Smith will be fooled?" Jason frowned and asked Adaman.

  Adaman was so confident that he almost patted his chest to make sure. "It will definitely! You have to believe me, Smith and I have been friends for many years! I know his character best!"

   "But..." Keanu Reeves glanced at Adaman with some hesitation, and said, "Adaman, what if Director Smith gets angry?"

   "No way!" Adaman shook his head and said with certainty: "Don't forget, Patricipa did it with us this time. With her here, Smith will never be angry!"

   "Are you sure?" Michelle Yeoh looked at Adaman suspiciously, feeling in her heart that what this guy said was not so reliable!

   "Don't worry! It's definitely fine! If he gets angry, I'll appease him, is that okay?" With no other choice, Adaman had no choice but to take himself out of the tank to dispel these people's worries!

  Who knew, Adaman had just spoken, and everyone nodded in unison, and said in unison: "You said that!"

  Adaman froze for a moment, and then realized that the reason why these people asked around was waiting for his own words? He put on the trap and said with a helpless wry smile: "Okay! If Smith is angry, then let him come to me!"

  When he said this, Adaman also felt a little guilty. But thinking about knowing Zhang Dongcheng for so many years, it seems that Zhang Dongcheng has never been such a narrow-minded person. Adaman was also relieved.

   On the other side, after Zhang Dongcheng left the ballroom, he went out the gate and searched around, but he didn't see Patricia at all.

  His brows were slightly frowned, and he thought suspiciously: What's going on? Isn't Patricia here yet?

  Thinking of the inexplicable words Patricia said on the phone that he must find her after coming out, Zhang Dongcheng seemed to understand instantly. It seemed that Patricia wanted to play a childish game of hide and seek with herself.

  He shook his head angrily and amusedly. I walked around the ballroom and searched casually. The final result was very disappointing, because he still didn't find Patricia's shadow.

   This made Zhang Dongcheng a little puzzled. Logically speaking, even if Patricia wanted to play such a boring game with herself, she wouldn't hide in a place where she couldn't find it!

  The more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong, Zhang Dongcheng suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and finally understood. With a wry smile on his face, he said in a low voice, "Damn it! I didn't expect to be deceived!"

  Today is April 1st! It's the famous April Fool's Day! If I didn't guess wrong, all this must be that Patricia contacted Adaman and others to trick herself, and this was completely a prank. I didn't expect that I was really fooled by it.

   It seems that I was so immersed in filming during this period that I even forgot the time!

  Zhang Dongcheng shook his head, and walked into the ballroom while thinking.

  He has already determined that all this must be a prank! How could it be foolish to look for Patricia outside. Since Adaman dared to trick himself, he must take revenge.

  After arriving at the entrance of the ballroom, Zhang Dongcheng stopped in his tracks, and his self-deprecating face turned gloomy, as if he had really become angry from embarrassment, and strode into the ballroom.

  As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Dongcheng saw Adaman, Michelle Yeoh, Jason Statham, Hugo Weaving and other crew members looking at him with suppressed smiles, and the muscles on their faces twitched slightly.

   "What are you doing? You don't have to work anymore? Start shooting right away!" Zhang Dongcheng smiled slyly in his heart, telling you to play me. I want to play tricks on you too!

   "It's broken!" Keanu Reeves was frightened by Zhang Dongcheng's lifelike anger, and immediately patted Adaman's shoulder quietly, saying: "Don't forget the previous promise!"

  Michelle Yeoh gave Adaman a sympathetic look, and said, "May I be blessed!"

   Zhang Dongcheng just looked at everyone comforting Adaman one by one with such cold eyes, he almost burst out laughing! Sure enough, after being teased by others, the best way is to counter tease him back.

  Amanda was about to cry, she looked at Zhang Dongcheng with a guilty conscience, and said with a smirk, "Hey! Smith, don't be like this? Today is April Fool's Day, you can't be angry because of everyone's pranks!"

"This..." Adaman rolled his eyes, and he didn't know what to think of. His frightened expression quickly turned into a rogue's expression that a dead pig is not afraid of boiling water, and said: "Smith, even if I tell you the mastermind, You don't dare to do anything to her!"

   Seeing Adaman's confident appearance, Zhang Dongcheng understood in his heart. It seems that the mastermind behind this scene is Patricia. Otherwise, the Adaman guy wouldn't be so swearing.

  But Adaman dared to play a rogue with himself! This made Zhang Dongcheng a little upset. When he was about to teach Adaman a lesson, his phone rang again.

   "Hey! Smith, are you angry?" Patricia's charming voice came from the phone.

Zhang Dongcheng smiled wryly, and had no choice but to give up the idea of ​​teaching Adaman a lesson, and said helplessly: "Yes, I am angry, I am angry that you did not come, but told me that you have come, let me be happy for nothing! "

   "Hehe..." Patricia laughed like a silver bell. After a while, Cai said with an ambiguous tone, "Okay, Smith, I have really dealt with the contract issue now, and I will come back to you in about two days! Let me comfort you first! Boo!"

  The sound of a kiss came from next to his ear, and Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help but feel his heart skip a beat. Seeing Adaman staring at himself with a wretched smile. Zhang Dongcheng gave Adaman a fierce look, let go of the charm in his heart, and said: "Okay, just call me when you come. Let's do this first, I'm going to be busy shooting the next set first." Camera!"

   "Well, okay! Goodbye then!"

"goodbye!"

After hanging up the phone, before Zhang Dongcheng could say anything, Adaman felt something was wrong, and said impatiently: "Smith, listen to my explanation first, this matter has nothing to do with me. It's Patricia! She asked I did it!"

   "Really?" Zhang Dongcheng sneered, and walked towards Adaman with his fists clenched.

   "Hey! Smith, you... you want to do this? We are good friends, good brothers!" Adaman knew Zhang Dongcheng's terrifying fighting power, and when he saw that Zhang Dongcheng was about to attack himself, he was immediately taken aback.

   "What to do? Of course you taught you a lesson!" Just as Zhang Dongcheng stretched out his hand, his phone rang again.

  Adaman breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile: "Smith, answer the phone first! I'll arrange the next shoot!"

  As soon as the words fell, Adaman ran away like a rabbit.

   Zhang Dongcheng picked up the phone suspiciously and connected the call.

   "Smith, guess who I am!"

  The familiar voice made Zhang Dongcheng feel strange. "Halliwell? Is that you?"

   "That's right! Then guess where I am now." Halliwell's joyful voice came from the phone. There was a bit of hope in his tone, as if he really hoped that Zhang Dongcheng could guess where he was.

   Zhang Dongcheng felt more and more weird in his heart. Patricia just came here once, and now Halliwell also wants to tease himself once?

  Thinking of this, Zhang Dongcheng said with certainty: "If my guess is not wrong, you must be in Los Angeles now, right?"

   "Wow! Smith, you are awesome! You guessed it right again!" Halliwell seemed very excited, and said, "We just came to Los Angeles today to promote the record, where are you?"

   "I'm shooting a scene for a new movie at a dance hall!" Zhang Dongcheng waited for Halliwell's invitation. He is sure that the other party will definitely invite him to a certain place, and then break the appointment. Even Zhang Dongcheng suspects that Halliwell is not in the United States at all now.

   "Take a day off today and come out to hang out with me, how about it? We haven't seen each other for a long time!" Halliwell's tone was a little nervous, as if he was afraid of hearing Zhang Dongcheng's rejection.

   "Okay, tell me a place, and I'll go find you!" Zhang Dongcheng has already confirmed that Halliwell must also want to joke with himself on April Fool's Day.

   After pondering for a moment, Halliwell said: "OK, I really want to see Disneyland. Let's meet at the gate of Disneyland in an hour, is that okay?"

   "Of course!" The ballroom where the movie is being filmed is in Hollywood. And Disney is very close to Hollywood, one hour is enough for Zhang Dongcheng to go back and forth. But will Jang Dong Sung really go?

   "That's good! I'll wait for you at the gate of Disneyland right now. Remember to come here quickly!" Halliwell did not forget to tell Zhang Dongcheng at the end. Then hung up the phone.

  Zhang Dongcheng didn't take Halliwell's words seriously at all. Having been teased by Patricia and Adaman just now, he subconsciously took Halliwell's words as a real joke.

   Besides, he doesn't think Halliwell is in the United States now.

   "Okay, everyone, continue shooting!" Straight away from Halliwell's invitation, Zhang Dongcheng began to direct everyone to continue shooting the scene just now.

  The shooting this time was very smooth. The reason why the shot just now needed to be re-shot was because the light was not enough. After adding a reflector, it passed in one shot.

   There were not many shots in the ballroom. After all the shots were completed; just as Zhang Dongcheng was about to call everyone to accept their merits, his phone rang again.

   After connecting the phone, before Zhang Dongcheng could say anything, Halliwell's angry voice came from the phone. "Smith! Where the **** are you bastard? I've been waiting for you at the gate of Disneyland for almost an hour and forty minutes! Ten minutes! I'll give you another ten minutes. In ten minutes, I must see You appeared in front of me! You remember it clearly for me!"

   As soon as the voice fell, Zhang Dongcheng heard a snap. Apparently Halliwell hung up the phone with a lot of effort. Matching Halliwell's angry tone just now, Zhang Dongcheng instantly understood that Halliwell is really angry now.

  This...what's the situation? Did Halliwell really come to America? And really go to the gate of Disneyland and wait for yourself?

  Thinking of this, Zhang Dongcheng hurriedly looked at the clock hanging on the wall. Almost two hours have passed since the time he and Halliwell agreed on!

   That is to say, after Halliwell hung up the phone, he arrived at the gate of Disneyland within 20 minutes. Then I waited there for nearly two hours!

  But Zhang Dongcheng still couldn't believe that Halliwell really came. He greeted Adaman: "Hey! Come here Adaman, I have a question for you!"

   "What?" Adaman walked over with a puzzled expression, looked at Zhang Dongcheng blankly and said, "Smith, what's wrong? Do you need to shoot again?"

  Adaman's words immediately caught the attention of the rest of the crew. Everyone looked at Zhang Dongcheng in unison. If there is really a reshoot, then some equipment cannot be cleaned up.

   "Of course not!" Zhang Dongcheng waved his hands to the crowd, signaling them to continue. "Everyone continue to pack things, the lens here has been fixed!"

   "Adaman! Come with me!" Zhang Dongcheng reached out and hooked Adaman's neck, pulling him to a corner. "Hey! Listen! Do you have an appointment with Halliwell too? Wanna play tricks on me today?"

   "Halliwell?" Adaman's face flashed blankly, he shook his head and asked, "What are you talking about? Smith, what Halliwell, are they our British hot girls? Are they coming to America?"

   Zhang Dongcheng's heart skipped a beat, and he asked with the last hope: "Adaman, listen, I'm not joking, you really didn't discuss with Halliwell to trick me?"

Adaman is not an idiot. After hearing such an obvious reminder from Zhang Dongcheng, his eyes lit up immediately, and he looked at Zhang Dongcheng teasingly, and said, "Dude, it's not Halliwell who came to the United States and wants to ask you out." , Do you think she is playing tricks on you? Dude, you are finished! I can tell you with certainty that I have never contacted Halliwell!"

  In an instant, the hairs on Zhang Dongcheng's back stood on end. He couldn't care less about arguing with Adaman, so he hurriedly told him: "Brother, I'll leave this to you first. Let everyone pack up. Tomorrow, we will shoot according to the plan. I have something to do, so I have to deal with it first!"

   As soon as the words fell, Zhang Dongcheng didn't even have time to change a piece of clothing, so he left the ballroom in a hurry.

  Because his car was sent for maintenance in the past two days, Zhang Dongcheng could only take a taxi after going out, and went straight to Disneyland.

  As soon as he got in the car, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and start calling Halliwell.

  As soon as the phone was connected, Halliwell's angry voice came over: "Smith, you bastard, are you kidding me again? It's been almost twenty minutes now! Why haven't you shown up yet!"

  Hearing Halliwell's roar, Zhang Dongcheng smiled wryly. Who would have thought that Halliwell would come to Hollywood to find him on April Fool's Day? And it just happened to be stuck at the time when Patricia and Adaman had just tricked him. Isn't this clearly misleading?

But Zhang Dongcheng had no way to say these words to Halliwell, he could only explain helplessly: "Halwell, can you wait for me for a few minutes, really a few minutes is enough! I promise, I will be sure in a few minutes will appear before you!"

"Smith!" Halliwell's voice was trembling slightly, suppressing the anger in his heart forcibly, and said, "Okay! I'll give you another five minutes. If I haven't seen you in five minutes, I'll leave the United States immediately and return to London! "

  Women are very scary when they go crazy! Zhang Dongcheng was sure that Halliwell could do what he said. Once he really didn't show up outside the Disneyland within five minutes, this girl might really ignore the company's plan and fly back to England directly.

   "Dude, can you please drive faster?" After hanging up the phone, Zhang Dongcheng anxiously said to the black driver.

   "Sorry! Dude, this is already too fast. If it goes any faster, I will be arrested by the police!" The black driver calmly turned the steering wheel, with his thick lips pouted, playing an unknown tune.

   Once Zhang Dongcheng gritted his teeth, he didn't believe that money was tempting. As long as he offered a high price, this guy wouldn't be tempted. He took out two hundred-dollar bills, shook them at the driver, and said, "Man, as long as you can send me to the gate of Disneyland within five minutes, this is yours!"

   "No! No!" The black driver greedily glanced at the banknote in Zhang Dongcheng's hand from the rearview mirror, but still shook his head and said, "This money is not enough for a ticket!"

"****!" Zhang Dongcheng cursed angrily, took out three hundred-dollar bills again, and said, "Five hundred! As long as you can do it, the five hundred is yours. Dude, don't be too greedy. I I believe you will definitely not pay the ticket honestly!"

   "OK! Dude, do you know what my nickname is? Black Schumacher in Los Angeles! Sit tight!" While talking, the black driver took the money from Zhang Dongcheng. After that, he jerked the gear lever and stepped on the accelerator.

   This seemingly inconspicuous taxi flew out with astonishing acceleration. Zhang Dongcheng was suddenly pressed against the backrest by strong pressure.

   "Wow! So cool! So cool!" the black driver cheered wildly. Even in such a high-speed driving, he still did not forget to show off to Zhang Dongcheng: "Did you see that? Dude, this is my strength. Within five minutes, I guarantee you can reach Disney!"

   Zhang Dongcheng didn't even dare to speak now, and said nervously: "OK! OK! I saw it, but can you drive more seriously?"

   "This is exciting!" Although the black driver said so, at least he looked serious, which relieved Zhang Dongcheng's worries a lot.

  In fact, this guy is not bragging. Although his nickname Black Schumacher is a bit exaggerated, at least he really sent Zhang Dongcheng to the gate of Disneyland within five minutes.

  After Zhang Dongcheng got off the car, the black man said: "Man, go on! If you have such an opportunity in the future, remember to contact me! Those **** police are coming! Bye!"

As soon as the black driver finished speaking, he drove away in his obviously modified taxi. Before Zhang Dongcheng could find Halliwell, the chaotic sirens sounded, and several police cars chased the black Schumacher away. Go in the direction you want to go.

  Zhang Dongcheng shrugged, picked up the business card that the guy dropped just now, looked at the word Jimmy written on it, and whispered: "Is that Jimmy? Dude, good luck!"

  Los Angeles Disneyland is the oldest Disneyland in the world and also the first Disneyland. It was built in 1955, more than forty years ago.

Halliwell was wearing a light yellow suspender dress, with a pair of big toad mirrors on the bridge of his nose, covering half of his face, which is why he waited so long in such a crowded place , but the reason for her identity has never been discovered.

  At this moment, Halliwell was pouted and frowning; sitting on a bench not far from the entrance of the park, complaining about Zhang Dongcheng. "Damn Smith, what a **** to keep a lady waiting for two full hours! Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!"

   "Sorry! Although I am indeed a bit of a jerk, I hope you can forgive me." Zhang Dongcheng, who happened to walk over, heard Halliwell's curse, and suddenly several black lines drooped on his forehead. He explained with a deep apology in his tone.
