Hollywood Lover

  There is a reason for Yuan Heping to be so nervous. If Zhang Dongcheng hadn't appeared, he would have gone to mainland China to shoot a TV series.

  Although I don't want to admit it, a filmmaker basically develops step by step from the TV circle to the film circle. This seems to have become the rule of thumb. The movie circle is higher than the TV circle, and it is a step backward from the movie circle to the TV circle.

  Now Yuan Heping can almost be said to have put everything together. All bets are placed on Zhang Dongcheng, and this The Matrix is ​​even more important. If successful, Yuan Jiaban will be able to open the door of Hollywood smoothly.

   It goes without saying if you fail, everything is over! Yuan Heping is not alone, he is responsible for his members of the Yuan family class!

"Of course not!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and explained: "Baye, don't be nervous, just listen to me! Although Mr. Hua cannot directly interfere with Australian laws, he came forward to introduce Mary Bashir to me. Ma'am! But this kind of thing involves the law after all, and Ms. Bashir can't do it arbitrarily. She asked me to come back and wait for the news!"

  Yuan Heping took out the cigarette case from his pocket, took out two cigarettes, handed one to Zhang Dongcheng, put the other in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep puff. Said: "Boss, do you think this can be done?"

  Zhang Dongcheng exhaled a smoke ring, flicked the ash with his fingers, and said amidst the smoke, "Yes!"

  The word can be heard, and it made Yuan Heping feel relieved. The Matrix is ​​Dongcheng Pictures' first film, and it is still a test product for short-term film investment funds. Success or failure matters! If he fails, he still has at least one way out. But Zhang Dongcheng stopped everything! To put it more seriously, the situation he worked so hard for now will completely disappear, and he will fall into a situation where there is no redemption.

   Zhang Dongcheng is so confident, what is he afraid of?

  During the few days waiting for Mary's reply, Zhang Dongcheng was not idle either. Taking the crew members around Sydney to shoot some scattered shots of The Matrix.

  Two days later in the afternoon, Zhang Dongcheng finally received a document from Ms. Mary Bashir's secretary.

  The other party finally came up with a solution, and Zhang Dongcheng was really flattered by this solution.

  The New South Wales state government actually chose to adjust their laws for a movie. Of course, this adjustment is very limited. But even so, Zhang Dongcheng was still greatly encouraged. At least his shooting plan will not be affected.

   Not only that, in order to assist Zhang Dongcheng's filming plan, the other party even offered to allocate some soldiers from the army to assist.

  What Zhang Dongcheng didn't know was that although the Fox film and television base was only established in March next year, in fact, it has already begun to communicate with the Australian government.

  Australia needs development, especially in the film and television industry, and Zhang Dongcheng's filming here is undoubtedly an alternative publicity for Australia. In other words, the New South Wales government will agree to Zhang Dongcheng's request entirely because of its own development needs. Zhang Dongcheng just happened to meet such a good opportunity.

   As for the promise to send troops to assist, apart from really wanting to give Zhang Dongcheng a certain amount of help, more presumably they intend to restrict the activities of the crew. You know, the helicopter is flying in the no-fly zone. Even if he agreed to this request, wouldn't the other party be unprepared?

  After getting the promise from the Australian government, Zhang Dongcheng immediately summoned the crew members and informed them that they were going to start work tomorrow, but before again, Zhang Dongcheng still needed to tell everyone the good news.

   During this time, because the helicopter footage interfered with the no-fly zone in New South Wales, the crew members were a little worried about the future of the movie. It is necessary for Zhang Dongcheng to make everyone let go of all worries. Renew your confidence in The Matrix!

  The next morning, at nine o'clock, Zhang Dongcheng led the crew to the downstairs of the headquarters of the State Bank of New South Wales again.

   "Everyone must know that our helicopter shooting plan has been approved by the New South Wales government!"

  Before the filming started, Zhang Dongcheng first spoke with a loudspeaker.

  Because it was not clear what Zhang Dongcheng was going to say, the crew members whispered for a while and then quieted down, listening to what he said.

  Actually, the crew is curious now. What exactly is the solution? You know, this kind of matter involving the laws of a state government is not so easy to solve.

"We just got the documents from the New South Wales government, because our filming plan is designed to reach the no-fly zone in Sydney, and the New South Wales government has made corresponding adjustments in their laws to match our filming plan!" Zhang Zhang Dongcheng said with high spirits.

  Australia is a federal constitutional monarchy, and the nominal head of state is the King or Queen of England. There are six states and two territories (Northern Territory and Capital Territory), and each state has a governor who is responsible for state affairs. The form of this federation is somewhat similar to that of the United States. The laws of every state are also accidentally the same.

  This is why there are movies about prison break in the United States. The laws of one state and another state even conflict. If you commit a crime in this state, as long as you escape to another state, you will be able to get rid of the crime smoothly. Of course, the premise is that it does not violate the Constitution. Because the Constitution is the fundamental law of a country. Every state is governed by the same constitution. Otherwise the country will be divided.

  Although this time the New South Wales government only adjusted the laws of one state. But it still feels a little weird.

"Why?" Keanu Reeves looked at Zhang Dongcheng in horror, interrupted him, and said, "Director Smith, I'm very sorry. You just said that our helicopter footage was not only allowed by the New South Wales government, but also in On the premise that they adjust their own laws?"

  Zhang Dongcheng nodded vigorously, and affirmed: "Yes! Keanu, you are very right! That's it! That's right!"

   "Oh! God! This... this is unbelievable!" Jack, who has been in the industry for almost twenty years, immediately covered his mouth. He's not like everyone else who doesn't know what it means to get a state government to change the law.

   Those who can win this honor, to put it bluntly, are one of the few influential figures in the world. Basically, each of them is an existence that wants Time Magazine to make an appointment for an interview!

   And what about Zhang Dongcheng? Although he has made two successful films now, he is praised as a new commercial director. But to put it bluntly, Zhang Dongcheng's reputation is too fake.

  Whether it is Steven Spielberg or James Cameron, their reputation as a great director is accumulated through each real movie. It's a slow ascent.

   And Zhang Dongcheng felt a little like reaching the sky in one step. Although this is also beneficial, that is, it has gained a large number of supporters in a short period of time, but the shortcomings of not having a solid foundation are also obvious!

   And now New South Wales has chosen to adjust its own laws because of his film. From Jack's point of view, there is only one sentence to describe it! Unscientific!

   "Director, you...Are you serious?" Michelle Yeoh's black and white moist eyes showed a look of disbelief. Subconsciously said: "Today is not April Fool's Day!"

   "Of course! I can't joke with everyone on this matter!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded with a serious expression, waved to Adaman, and said: "Adaman, take out the document!"

  Adaman's face is full of red at the moment, um... maybe it's not appropriate to describe his dark face with a full of red face, but everyone can see Adaman's relaxation and smile at this moment.

   "OK!" Adaman quickly took out a file and showed it to several important members of the crew.

   After reading this document, although everyone confirmed that this matter was true, they were even more surprised.

   This is no longer a miracle! It is simply a miracle!

   A guy who has only shot two real movies can make Australia, a developed capitalist country, change its own laws? What is this but a miracle?

  The whole crew was silent. At this moment, everyone was convinced of Zhang Dongcheng, and they looked at him with a feeling of admiration, even admiration!

   After more than ten seconds of silence, the entire crew suddenly burst into cheers.

  Everyone cheered in unison: "Long live Director Smith!..."

  After the huge cheers came from the studio to the street, the pedestrians on the road stopped immediately, looking curiously into the State Bank of New South Wales. It seems to intend to see what's going on inside.

  Yuan Heping, who was looking down at the document, was also taken aback by the sudden cheers. But he was more horrified by the content of the file. Grasping the last Chinese document with both hands, Yuan Heping's eyes widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

  For a moment, he raised his head and looked at Zhang Dongcheng as if he was looking at God. He blurted out: "Boss, I'm really convinced! Are you sure you're not God's illegitimate child?!"

  Zhang Dongcheng froze for a moment, then smiled and explained: "Ba Ye, I don't have any religious beliefs!"

   "No!" Yuan Heping shook his head vigorously, pointed at the last document, and said, "Look here, you are actually invited by China to be the director of the next Olympic bidding promotional film!"

  Zhang Dongcheng waved his hand and explained: "Baye, you misunderstood, this is just an invitation, it may not be my turn!"

  Yes, this document not only contains the permission of New South Wales to allow Zhang Dongcheng to shoot helicopter shots, but also a document from China at the bottom, which invites Zhang Dongcheng to participate in the promotional film for the Olympic bid.

  However, Zhang Dongcheng didn't care much about this invitation. It's not that he's not patriotic or anything. The main reason is that although Chinese films are unknown internationally, there are many capable directors. There are countless people who are more powerful than Zhang Dongcheng, and it is very unlikely that he will not be able to fall to Zhang Dongcheng's head anyway.

  The sea is inclusive of all rivers, and it is great to be tolerant; For this invitation, Zhang Dongcheng undoubtedly has this kind of mentality at the moment.
