Legend of Tomorrow

Chapter 396 [The scumbag comes to visit, the best lucky star]

After defeating the Rockets, the Suns got three days of rest. They will face the Pistons at home on the 15th, and then face the Bulls back-to-back.

Guo Xu took a late nap, got up and washed up, and found the two sisters cooking. His cousin Jason Statham was sitting on the sofa in the living room, playing with the TV remote control, looking lost.

When did you arrive? Guo Xu took a bottle of pear juice, took a few sips, and asked while sitting on the sofa.

His parents will come to Phoenix tomorrow to discuss opening a pizza shop. Statham came to say hello to his relatives and stopped by Guo Xu to relax. He has not received any movies recently and has been on vacation for half a year.

Just arrived. Statham responded casually.

Guo Xuxiao asked: What's going on with your expression of extreme pain, of having no love for life and no fear of death? Didn't you say last time that you didn't care about the breakup at all?

Meghan's sister... As soon as I saw her, I remembered Kelly when she was practicing boxing to lose weight. This little elephant man actually found an ugly, bald man, and called me a scumbag! Statham clutched his hand. Fist gritted his teeth and said that he seemed to want to return to Los Angeles and kill his ex-girlfriend Kelly Brook.

Kelly's new boyfriend is the famous Hollywood actor, 37-year-old Billy Zane. This man was born in a theater family. When he was young, he was once described by a Hollywood filmmaker as looking like Marlon Brando. He had a good fortune. He played a small role in the classic science fiction movie Back to the Future when he debuted in 1985, and later starred in several movies with leading roles.

Zane's more famous role is Carl, the fiancé of the heroine Ruth in Titanic.

Everyone must have heard or seen this sad love story. Carl paid off the debts of Ruth's family, was willing to support Ruth's mother, was obedient to Ruth, and gave her the necklace Heart of the Ocean.

Then, Ruth took off her clothes while wearing the Heart of the Ocean and let her mistress, who had just met for a day, draw her. Then the two of them had a car shake. In the car, Ruth showed her amazing arm strength and immediately lifted Jack into the back seat. …

When Carl found out that he had been cheated on, he was so angry that he only slapped Ruth. He still wanted to save the relationship and make Jack, the mistress, miserable. Then, everyone was moved by the love between Jack and Ruth, and they all felt happy. In the end, God couldn't bear it anymore and let the ship sink.

In recent years, Zane has gradually become bald and has not become stronger. He can only play supporting roles in some movies. Judging from his hairstyle, he and Statham are more like brothers.

Statham actually couldn't blame Zain for the breakup. He always wanted to be famous, but he never thought about acting with Kelly and becoming famous with her. Statham likes to brag, has a very immature personality, and is not good at thinking about others. He wasn't a bad person, but Kelly was tired of it.

When Kelly proposed breaking up, Statham might have been able to continue if he had immediately given gifts and lowered his profile to ask for a change of heart. But Statham likes to pretend to be a tough guy. He doesn't even say anything about how uncomfortable he feels, and goes to the gym to work out like crazy to vent his anger. He is now a whole circle thicker than last year. He looks more like a professional boxer than a diver.

Guo Xu chatted with Statham for a while, saying that their personalities were probably really not suitable for being together, and advised him to forget about Kelly and find a new girlfriend who could develop in the long run and be suitable for marriage.

Statham said depressedly: I don't want to fall in love anymore. I want to focus on developing my career. Women are meaningless to me.

Then what do you do when you have a need?

Statham rubbed his face and smiled bitterly: You are deliberately teasing me, right? You and Megan are living together and are happy now, so you are laughing at my joke. Don't be happy too early. Wait until you have been together for a few years. , without the freshness, everything is different.”

Brother, can you please keep your voice down? Guo Xu didn't want Megan to hear this, for fear that she would think too much.

Statham crossed his legs and sighed: It would be great if we could invent a female robot that looks like a real person. Then there would be no conflicts between lovers. She would do whatever I say. I want to order it in the image of Rachel Weisz. Make a girlfriend.”

Even if there is such a robot, you will find it looks like Cai Ming when you receive the goods.

What's your explanation?

Guo Xu shrugged. Did I say something? That was my voice just now. You must have heard it wrong.

Lunch was still pizza, and Christie Fox used her expertise to try it out for all the guests who came.

Statham watched the pizza being served with an expression as if he was eating a guillotine. After finishing this meal, he was about to go to the gallows, the electric chair, or the guillotine.

Christy was feeling stressed. Um...is pizza not to your taste?

Statham took two deep breaths, curled up his mouth and was about to cry: It's so annoying. She hasn't cooked a meal for me in seven years. I always cook at home, and she actually He also called me a scumbag.

... Christie couldn't understand and didn't know what was wrong with this man.

Guo Xu explained with a smile: He has only had one girlfriend in his life. He was dumped before, so he is a bit excited. Let's eat first and leave him alone.

Christie turned her head and covered her mouth and snickered. She had watched Statham's Trafficker and always thought he was a tough guy. After seeing him today, she found that his character was very different from the one in the movie.

Why do I have a brother who takes pleasure in misfortune like you? Statham took a sip of water and said depressedly.

You cheer up when I smile. At least you can pretend to be a tough guy. I'm protecting your image. Guo Xu gave him a piece of chicken pizza. Eat, and when we receive a script that suits you, Robert and I will invest in letting you play the leading role.

Are there any blockbusters for me to act in? Action movies or science fiction movies will do. I can't act in comedy movies like yours. Statham immediately felt much better.

If you want to act in a blockbuster, you must first gain some fame and hone your acting skills. Take it step by step.

In Guo Xu's previous life, Statham's box office appeal has never been very good. There are movies made every year, but the box office has never been a hit. Almost all of his films were small-scale productions, consuming himself in mediocre action films.

Even if he collaborated with Stallone, Jet Li and others to make The Expendables, the box office would not be too high. It wasn't until the release of The Meg co-produced by China and the United States in 2018 that he finally took the leading role, with global box office exceeding US$500 million.

Statham's success in Hollywood mainly depends on the disc market, large network on-demand, TV station copyrights, etc. The North American box office generally only accounts for about 30% of the total movie revenue, and the biggest source of profit is the video disc. Otherwise, he would have been kicked out of the entertainment industry long ago when he made blockbusters such as Parker, Hummingbird, and Safety.

Nowadays, Statham's salary is very low. The movie Trafficker in which he plays the leading role has a lot of action scenes. He did not need a stuntman and was only paid US$750,000, before tax. If he hadn't been miserable, Kelly Brook wouldn't have left so resolutely.

Interestingly, as soon as Kelly left, Statham's career entered a period of upward growth and his fame grew. In his previous life, when he and Jet Li co-starred in Baywatch in 2007, both of them received about US$7 million in salary. In 2010, his salary ranked tenth on the North American list.

Statham doesn't know that he will become famous in the future. This year, all his auditions failed, and there is no place for him to play a small role. For him, his cousin is the best lucky star. Guo Xu can now shoot commercials to help him make a few movies.

As long as his cousin is willing to invest in him as the protagonist, he has hope. In the current relationship between the two, Guo Xu is actually more like an elder brother. (https:)
