Hollywood Lover

  After listening to Adaman's story, Zhang Dongcheng not only smiled. So that's what happened. He thought those reporters really got any real news? It turned out that Adaman had become a frightened bird.

  The reporters can ask all kinds of weird questions, and of course there will be the question of a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

   "Okay Adaman, tell me how you answered first!" Zhang Dongcheng was determined, the only thing he was worried about now was that Adaman must not let his mouth slip.

"I didn't answer! ****! Do you want me to tell those people that Orlando is really... FUCK! I mean, other than having no comment, I just tell them that I don't know!" Adaman is like an ant on a hot pot Usually, there is anxiety and uneasiness in the voice.

"Relax! Adaman, things are not as bad as you imagined. I'm going to give Orlando and Brad Pitt a call now. If you are surrounded by reporters again, please remember, you can still answer like that!" Comfort After saying a few words to Adaman, Zhang Dongcheng hung up the phone.

  Fingers flicked on the keys for a while, Zhang Dongcheng called Brad Pitt.

  The phone rang for a long time, but no one answered it.

   Zhang Dongcheng's heart was covered with fog. With a little bit of worry, I called Orlando again, told him about this matter in the United States, and asked him to answer the reporter's questions carefully.

   Immediately dialed Brad Pitt's phone again.

  This time, not long after the phone rang, Brad Pitt answered the call.

"Oh! God, Smith, I'm going crazy!" Brad Pitt said anxiously, "Those **** reporters. This group of **** actually asked me if I got together with Orlando! They Is your mind filled with poop!"

  Listening to Brad Pitt's complaints and venting on the phone, Zhang Dongcheng heaved a sigh of relief. It seems that Brad Pitt also encountered the same problem as Adaman. But Brad Pitt is an old fritter, and he is familiar with answering such difficult questions, so there is no need for Zhang Dongcheng to worry.

"Okay, Pete, stop complaining!" Zhang Dongcheng chuckled and said, "The more those reporters pay attention to our movie, the higher the popularity of the movie will be. When it is released, the more we will gain, isn't it? ?"

  Brad Pitt was silent for a long time, and then smiled bitterly: "Smith, I am a little worried now, whether our movie will still be released!"

   "What do you mean?" Zhang Dongcheng's heart skipped a beat.

   "When we came back from the Rocky Mountains before, we were surrounded by spectators. Do you think we can survive this time?" Brad Pitt asked rhetorically.

   "Pete, trust me. The movie Brokeback Mountain will not disappoint you and me!" Zhang Dongcheng said solemnly.

   "I've always believed in you, Smith!" Brad Pitt said solemnly.

  The two couldn't help recalling the first time Zhang Dongcheng invited Brad Pitt to play Brokeback Mountain.

   That was a few months ago. Zhang Dongcheng had just boasted in front of the media and started preparing for the production of Brokeback Mountain.

   "What did you say?" Brad Pitt slammed his hands on the desk in surprise, and stood up abruptly. His eyes widened, and he said in horror: "You let me play gay?"

   "Yes, Pete, don't worry!" Zhang Dongcheng waved his hand, signaling him to stay calm first. Then he said: "Should you watch Brokeback Mountain? The movie I'm going to shoot next is changed from this story!"

  Brad Pitt recalled for a while, not only did not calm down, but became more and more horrified. "Smith, are you sure you're not kidding me right now?"

   "Why? I am indeed planning to shoot this movie." Zhang Dongcheng nodded as a matter of course.

   "God!" Brad Pitt slapped his forehead and said, "Aren't you promoting homosexuality positively? This movie will definitely be boycotted by Americans!"

   "I know!" Zhang Dongcheng nodded, and said; "As I said before in front of the reporter, true love has nothing to do with age, life and death, or even species. Then of course it can also have nothing to do with gender!"

   "****! Smith, stop dreaming!" Brad Pitt persuaded earnestly: "You are playing with fire. If you are not careful, you will burn yourself to ashes!"

Zhang Dongcheng smiled nonchalantly, took out a thick script from under his desk, handed it to Brad Pitt and said, "Don't be so excited, Pete. This is the script. I think you will understand after reading the script." Accept the role!"

   "Hell! Unless God shows up, I will never play a gay!" Brad Pitt complained.

   "You can take the script back first. I have already marked the characters in the play for you. You can figure out your own role first." Zhang Dongcheng said with an expression that I am sure you will accept it.

   This made Brad Pitt a little speechless!

   After a long silence, he waved his fist and said: "Okay, Smith, I will trust you just once, I will go back and read the script first, if the script doesn't impress me, then I will definitely not accept this role.

  Zhang Dongcheng smiled confidently, and said affirmatively: "Peter, if you are an excellent actor, you will definitely find that playing this role will help you in your future interpretation!"

   "****! Don't talk to me like a magic stick." Brad Pitt gave Zhang Dongcheng a middle finger, then shook the script in his hand, and said: "I'm going first! Come back tomorrow!"

   As soon as the voice fell, Brad Pitt left the company.

   "Smith, are you really sure that Brad Pitt will accept such a role?" Adaman said a little uneasy: "This kind of role may ruin him! I don't think Brad Pitt will agree!"

   Zhang Dongcheng leaned back on the chair, his eyes were looking towards the ceiling, and the corners of his mouth curled up. It seems to be talking to Adaman, and it seems to be talking to himself. "Yes! Jack Gyllenhaal was also considered so!"

   "What? What the **** are you talking about? Can't you speak louder?" Adaman complained.

   Brad Pitt, who left with the script, opened the script given to him by Zhang Dongcheng full of doubts, and began to read it.

  Brad Pitt's face turned green when he first saw Jack and Ennis having a relationship because they were drunk.

**** it! That **** Smith put me in that role!

   Brad Pitt has a creepy feeling when he thinks about making out with a guy on the big screen.

   Suppressing the nausea in his heart, Brad Pitt continued to watch.

  The relaxation and comfort on Brokeback Mountain, the pain and sadness when the two parted, Jack's anger at being ridiculed by the boss, the joy of reunion after many years of marriage, the worry of being discovered by his wife, the conflicts in their respective families...

  With the continuous development of the plot, the expression on Brad Pitt's face began to slowly change. From the initial resentment and disgust; to the later touch. Subtly, Brad Pitt seems to be attracted by this story.

   When turning to the end of the script and seeing Ennis, who had been single for many years because of Jack’s accidental death, opened the closet and wept bitterly while hugging the shirt that Jack had worn, Brad Pitt’s eyes immediately became moist.

   Gently wiped the tear stains from the corners of his eyes, Brad Pitt cursed with a half-crying smile, and said, "Damn it! Smith, you bastard, I admit you won!"

   The next day, without any surprises, Brad Pitt accepted the role.

   Not only that, he even recommended his girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston, to play Ennis' wife.

   After Jennifer knew what role she was going to play, she was in Sparta! Reaching out to touch Brad Pitt's forehead, he said: "Peter, are you crazy? You would accept such a role, God, this will destroy your career. Have you ever thought about it?"

"No, no, no!" Shaking his head like a rattle, Brad Pitt said solemnly: "Annie, you have to believe me, this movie is definitely not that simple, I am sure, if I play this role, not only will it not affect To my acting career, it has become an indelible milestone in my acting career!"

   "Damn it, you must be crazy!" Jennifer didn't believe Brad Pitt's words at all. No one would believe such words if they were used to deceive children!

  How can a **** role become a milestone in an actor's career? Is it April Fool's Day today?

"Okay, Annie, don't worry, how about listening to me about this story first? If you still make this decision after listening to it, then I will give up. That's okay, right?" Brad Pitt suggested .

  A good story has a touching effect, and in Brad Pitt's mind, Brokeback Mountain is exactly such a story.

  Although this is a movie with a perspective on homosexuality itself, the story is as pure as a lotus flower towering on the top of a snow mountain, spotless, making it impossible for people to have blasphemous thoughts.

  Not only is it not dirty at all, but it also has the effect of purifying the soul. Brad Pitt is sure of that.

Jennifer was not so easily fooled by Brad Pitt, she still shook her head and said: "No! I will not accept the role of a **** wife. I feel that if I agree to such a role, it will become a stain in my life. It will even ruin my acting career!"

   "Don't do this, Anne. Can you at least listen to this story first?" Brad Pitt persuaded.

  In the end, Jennifer was so entangled by Brad Pitt that she had no choice but to nod and said, "Okay, but let me make it clear that no matter what the story itself is, I will never accept the role of a **** wife!"

  Brad Pitt said nonchalantly: "Of course. If you still refuse to accept after listening to the story, then I will definitely not force it!"

  The two chose a place with a quiet environment, and Brad Pitt began to slowly tell Jennifer the story according to the script in his impression.

  It was the same as Brad Pitt's reflection at the beginning, after hearing the scene of the last relationship between Jack and Ennis.

"Oh! God!" Jennifer exclaimed, covered her mouth, and said, "Peter, I think it's better for you not to accept such a role, making out with a man on the big screen, have you thought about your How disappointed will the fans be with you after seeing your performance like this?"

   "Don't worry!" Brad Pitt said calmly. With a winning smile in his eyes. Jennifer's reaction was completely in his expectation.

   "Okay, you continue!" Jennifer suppressed her dissatisfaction with the story and continued to listen to Brad Pitt.

  Brad Pitt has a great talent for telling stories, vividly describing the relationship between Jack and Ennis, their respective lives, including the heart despised by the world.

   Not long after, when the scene where the two were separated appeared, Jennifer became fascinated.

  Finally, when Jack died and Ennis cried bitterly. Jennifer couldn't help crying.

  Women are emotional, and Jennifer is no exception.

   "Woo... Pete, you... you are right. This... this is indeed a very touching story!"

  Brad Pitt thoughtfully gave Jennifer a handkerchief, and said, "Wipe it first. To be honest, when I first saw this story, I had the same reaction as you."

   "Really?" Wiping away her tears, Jennifer calmed down and asked curiously, "Did you cry too?"

   "Although it's embarrassing to say that, it's true!" Brad Pitt changed the subject and said, "How is it? Jennifer, what do you think now? Are you willing to accept this role?"

   After a moment of silence, Jennifer nodded. "I admit, I was indeed attracted by this story. But Pete, are you sure you want me to play Ennis' wife?"

   "Of course, maybe we can become the best couple on screen with this story!" Brad Pitt said complacently.

  Looking at Bradt's stinky fart, Jennifer said: "Although I also like this story very much, I don't think I fit the role of Ennis' wife Alma!"

   "This needs to be decided by Smith!" Brad Pitt was also a little worried.

  However, the final result did not disappoint the two of them. In order to meet Brad Pitt's request, Zhang Dongcheng even slightly changed the role of Alma, making her more suitable for Jennifer to interpret.

At the end of the memory, Zhang Dongcheng said to Brad Pitt on the other end of the phone: "Since you chose to believe in me at the beginning, then you should always believe in me. Pete, think about my first work, Two Smoking Barrels, and then Think about what happened to The Mummy before it came out, and I think you'll be confident. Right?"

  The two big smoking guns completed an amazing counterattack from the first two canvases, and the mummy was almost cut in half the day before it was released.

  Thinking of the miracle created by Zhang Dongcheng at the beginning, Brad Pitt's heart gradually settled down. "Smith, you are indeed an excellent orator."

   "Haha!" Zhang Dongcheng laughed out loud. He knew that Brad Pitt had changed his mind. "Pete, believe me, I will perform another miracle for you to see!"

   "Then I'll wait and see!" Brad Pitt was equally confident.

   This confidence comes from Zhang Dongcheng's amazing miracles that he created repeatedly. Brad Pitt believes that Zhang Dongcheng, known as the legendary director, will not disappoint this time.

   After hanging up the phone, Brad Pitt's face was no longer as worried as before, but put on a confident smile.

  In fact, Brad Pitt encountered a big crisis when he first took over the role.

   But his big crisis was ignored because Zhang Dongcheng was at the front. In other words, Zhang Dongcheng was criticized by thousands of people at that time. No one liked his Brokeback Mountain, and no one liked Zhang Dongcheng's movies. The subject of homosexuality has always been a taboo in Hollywood, and Zhang Dongcheng's approach is undoubtedly challenging everyone.

   This includes not only the opponents of the film industry, but also the moralists from all walks of life! Especially with the Church at the head.

  After breaking the news that Brad Pitt decided to star in "Brokeback Mountain", the entire Hollywood was in an uproar, and industry insiders identified Brad Pitt's decision as "the stupidest decision."

   Countless newspaper media began to predict that Brokeback Mountain would be Brad Pitt's Waterloo, which is very likely to lead to the end of his career.

   Various reports on the standpoint of bad-mouthing once made Brad Pitt doubt his decision. He doubted whether his approach was correct, whether it was really as expected by the outside world, Brokeback Mountain would become his Waterloo, and let himself down.

  But in the end, this worry was dispelled under Zhang Dongcheng's persuasion.

  Sometimes Brad Pitt feels that Zhang Dongcheng is just like the head of state, his ability to fool people has reached the peak and the level of proficiency, otherwise why would he be fooled by him and jump in so stupidly.

  Not mentioning Brad Pitt's doubts about himself, he returned to Zhang Dongcheng in the two gazebos, and said to Michelle Yeoh in apologetic way: "There was a little accident. I'm sorry!"

   "Is it the Brokeback Mountain movie?" Michelle Yeoh and Yuan Heping asked curiously.

   "Yes! You know, this movie was not favored when it was first filmed, and there were demonstrations and boycotts several times in the middle!" Zhang Dongcheng shrugged and said lightly.

  Look at his casual movements, as if he wanted to say another unimportant thing. You know, this is a parade that was boycotted by the public!

  If it is an ordinary movie boss, he must have given up the first time he encountered a parade.

   After all, offending the audience for a movie is not worth the loss. Even if you lose the investment in the next movie, you can’t dig your own grave!

  But Zhang Dongcheng was not the case. When he was a mummy, he encountered even more desperate parades. At that time, he did not have the achievements and status he has now, but he still chose to face the difficulties. In the end, the successful comeback made The Mummy a signature of Universal Pictures.

   There are even rumors that after the release of the second mummy, the third will continue to be filmed. It can be said that Zhang Dongcheng created a miracle on the mummy.

   "Boss, will there be any problems?" Yuan Heping is obviously more careful than Michelle Yeoh, and also less adventurous.

  If Zhang Dongcheng hadn’t come to him and met that stupid guy who sneered at Yuan Heping unscrupulously, he would have chosen to go north to the mainland to shoot a TV series rather than come to Hollywood.

   Going to film a TV series can at least make a living. But if you go to Hollywood, if you fail, you will go back in despair, and you won't even have the chance to shoot a TV series.

   "No!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head confidently, and said, "These things have long been in my expectation. After the movie is released, everything will change!"

   "That's good!" Yuan Heping breathed a sigh of relief.

   This time Orlando's return to the UK was secretly photographed and published in the newspaper. Although it caused Zhang Dongcheng and others a little trouble, it was still more serious than the news that Orlando fell in love with Brad Pitt.

  As the sky gradually dimmed, Zhang Dongcheng and Yuan Heping bid farewell to Michelle Yeoh and drove away from the nursing home.

   Zhang Dongcheng didn't go back to his villa that night. After all, it was very late. It would be a waste of time to go back and come back tomorrow, so Zhang Dongcheng simply spent the night at the company.

  With the continuous expansion of the company, there is also a lounge in the office building that belongs to Zhang Dongcheng.

  Early the next morning, Zhang Dongcheng, who had eaten breakfast after waking up, threw himself into the editing work of Brokeback Mountain again.

  In the dark editing room, Zhang Dongcheng stared at the scenes of the Brokeback Mountain movie on the screen one after another, and countless series of passages emerged in his mind.

   Just as he was busy, a knock on the door interrupted Zhang Dongcheng's thoughts.

   "Smith, are you there?" Adaman's voice came from outside the door.

   "What's the matter?" Zhang Dongcheng frowned slightly, and opened the door.

   "Oh! That's it, Miss Rachel is here. I want to see you!" Adaman said.

  Speaking of which, Zhang Dongcheng hasn't seen Rachel for more than half a year. When he first came to Hollywood, the matter of working with them on the mummy is still vivid in his mind.

   Putting down the tools in his hands, Zhang Dongcheng stood up, stretched his waist, and said, "Let her come to my office and wait for a while. I will come right away!"

   "Okay!" Outside the door, Adaman's footsteps became farther and farther away.

  When Zhang Dongcheng came to the office, he happened to see Rachel talking to Adaman, and the two were chatting happily.

   "Hi! Rachel, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful!" After Zhang Dongcheng greeted Rachel, he came to his chair and sat down.

   "Mr. Smith, long time no see!" Facing Zhang Dongcheng again, Rachel was obviously a little cautious.

   After all, the identities of the two parties are completely different. Zhang Dongcheng was just a new director at the beginning, and the difference in status between them is not that big.
