Acting King's Daily [Comprehensive British and American]

In EX Industry or Straker Industry, when Gu Qing was not recognized as his ancestor, he stepped into the Hollywood film industry. Even though he was only an actor at that time, after he won the Apex Award and became famous in one fell swoop, many onlookers guessed How on earth did he do such a part-time job?When Gu Qing's life experience was exposed, some people suddenly realized.

But then everyone couldn't quite understand it. It stands to reason that Gu Qing, as the heir of a large group and a scientist with outstanding achievements in scientific research, still spends so much energy and financial resources in the entertainment industry?Even if his achievements in the entertainment industry have surpassed most professional filmmakers, how can he not compare with the other two aspects, especially the huge value of the EX industry?

In this case, many conspiracy theories have been spawned.

The most convincing conspiracy theory is that although Gu Qing was recognized by the Xavier family, the family had serious internal strife, and he was severely excluded. The Xavier family did not want him to be involved in business matters, but because he was the heir For the sake of it, it happened that he was also interested in the film industry, so he was naturally marginalized.

This, in fact, is completely unnecessary.

If you let the insiders talk about it, such as the group of "noble" elites on Wall Street, they will definitely laugh at the poor imagination of laymen. Strictly speaking, they fail to see the essence through the phenomenon—— Ke Xavier is only the "vase" heir of the EX industry. Looking at the other rich heirs in the United States, they can only be called murals.Think about it, but no heir can control so much power like Eric Xavier while the helm is still alive. Doesn't his being "rich and free" explain the problem?

Well, this point seems to be the most misunderstood point, but outsiders only see that Eric Xavier has invested too much time and money in the Hollywood film industry, but they have not thought that he will feed back to the EX industry by doing so Yeah, that's not what spending time in business circles all day brings.In other words, his blazing new path made him an excellent heir by "mistakes". As long as he is not short-sighted at the helm, he will not allow such an heir to be marginalized.

Let’s take the third exposition of EX industry held right now as an example. It can be said that Eric Xavier facilitated it, and he is still hosting this expo that makes EX industry even more famous, okay?That's not something a fringe man can do, let alone a powerful ally.

Speaking of allies, there are more things that can be picked up, and now not only people in the financial sector want to do this, but they are a little reserved, because they know that there are other people who are "charging the battle": the third in the EX industry After the opening ceremony of the Expo was successfully concluded, Gu Qing, who was in charge of hosting, had no time to leave the venue before being surrounded by reporters who were already ready to go.

Gu Qing stopped the movement of the bodyguards protecting him from leaving, turned around to look at the reporters surrounding him, and said calmly, "Hm, I can see that you have a lot of questions to ask me."

This was waiting for them to ask, but the reporters felt that there was a trap ahead, but at this time, even if there were mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, they would have to go, so they asked the most boiling question now: "Do you and Stark work together?" film company, does its name 'ET' have any specific meaning?"

Yes, the film company with unparalleled capital is called ET, isn't the name a bit indescribable?

The person involved doesn't think so: "Aliens?"

The reporters couldn't react in time: "Huh?"

"I'm talking about the meaning of ET. If it were me, I would then think of the picture of a group of human children riding aliens on bicycles to the sky under the bright red sun. I thought it was an eternal classic, didn't it? " Gu Qing said very seriously, his expression couldn't be more sincere.

The reporters realized now that the scene Gu Qing was talking about was a sci-fi movie "ET Aliens" directed by the great director Steven Spielberg more than ten years ago.But, well, ET can understand that, but I haven't heard that they have a good relationship, so good that they can call the film company such a name?No, that's not the point here, okay?You know, the popular interpretation of 'ET' is that 'E' stands for Erik's 'E', and 'T' stands for Tony's 'T', and this...romantic interpretation can make YY from all sides.

When the reporters looked at each other, the heir of EX Industry tilted his head slightly and asked, "Otherwise, what do you think?"

The media that can be admitted to participate in the expo are mostly big newspapers such as "New York Times" and "Washington Post". Even if they all know that such an inference is the most likely real reason.

The reporters couldn't help but talk, and someone started to say, "If you explain it this way, can we understand that you are paying tribute to Spielberg's "ET Alien"?"

I'll go, what does that make James Cameron think... well done!

The heir of EX Industry frowned, as if he was dissatisfied with the reporter's out-of-context thinking. He put a hand in the pocket of his suit trousers and said with half-closed eyes: "I thought I was paying tribute to my childhood."

It's not impossible to say that, but people haven't finished talking yet:

"One more thing, I think you have to know, it's not 'you', it's just me. That is to say, I understand the meaning of the name 'ET' in this way. As for what Mr. Stark thinks, then I I don't know."

Reporters: "..." He seemed to be joking!Isn't the name negotiated?How could the two have different opinions?As for starting a company with a partnership, there were disagreements from the very beginning. Is this really okay?Sure enough, it is so easy to interview, there is a pitfall!

The "approachable" EX Industry heir felt that it was almost done, so he nodded politely, and left surrounded by bodyguards.The journalists who were left behind looked at me and I looked at you. The reporter from the "New York Times" spoke first: "Do you believe what he said?"

Hehe, this seems really hard to say.I have to say something here, no wonder it is a scientist who can become the winner of the Golden Globe Award, and there is no flaw in his expression-this is definitely not a compliment, okay?

Over there, Gu Qing took the private passage, and it's not that there are no other people here. The internal employees of EX Industry also use this passage, and today there is an extra staff member.

"Eric, you came here so soon? I mean, I saw reporters blocking you." Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, who was specially invited to visit the opening ceremony, saw Gu Qing came over.

Gu Qing raised his eyes and looked at him: "You actually saw it?"

"What do you mean I saw it? I have very good eyesight, okay?" Leonardo protested dissatisfiedly. He was on the second floor at the time, and besides, he was very experienced in being surrounded by reporters, even if he didn't have this, He thought with his toes and knew that the reporters would not let Gu Qing go, and the staff also confirmed this, okay?

Gu Qing suddenly realized: "It seems that the cheers at the end of the opening ceremony woke you up."

"Uh, did you see that?" There was no need for Gu Qing to answer this at all, Leonardo, who had fallen asleep halfway in the guest seat, felt embarrassed, he scratched his hot face, glanced at Gu Qing and couldn't help mumbling , "It can't be all my fault, who told you to talk about those speeches with professional vocabulary, that is a lullaby for me!"

——The confession of a scumbag.

"I can understand."

"Hmm!" Leonardo didn't believe it, but he didn't choose to "pursue" it any further. His eyes wandered for a while, and he asked Gu Qing: "Did the reporters block you to ask you about your film company?" ? About the name or something—what kind of look is that on your face?"

Gu Qing said with a smile: "A look that looks at you with admiration?"

Leonardo: "... Eric!"

"I'm admitting in a disguised form that you're right. You should be happy, right?" Gu Qing also felt that he couldn't tease Leonardo any more. Now that he's blown his hair, he restrained himself and said in an unclear way, " They're really very interested in this kind of thing."

Leonardo felt that he had also been shot with an arrow in his knee, but he was very curious about what was going on. In the end, his curiosity overcame his shame, so he asked Gu Qing how he answered.

Gu Qing repeated his answer to the reporter.

"I don't believe it!" Leonardo said firmly.

Gu Qing frowned, with an attitude of "how can you not believe me when I told the truth", which made Leonardo feel a little annoyed that he was too resolute, so he heard Gu Qing say, "You really shouldn't believe it." This is a disguised admission that the rhetoric he said to the reporter as a tribute to childhood is false.

Leonardo's expression was blank.

Gu Qing cleared his throat, this time he really restrained himself, he told Leonardo the truth of the matter: "Actually, 'E' and 'T' are taken from my and Mr. Stark's initials Before the name is determined, there are other combinations, such as SEX and TXT."

Leonardo, who came back to his senses, raised his voice: "SEX?!" After he shouted, he realized that they were still in public, so he quickly covered his mouth, and looked around to see if other people noticed this .

Gu Qing said something like admiration: "It seems that you quickly grasped the point, Leo."

Leonardo was ashamed and angry: "Anyone who hears it will notice this first, this name is madam... nonsense." The '...' in the middle is definitely not a good word.

Gu Qing did not correct him this time, since what Leonardo said was indeed true.When Tony made this suggestion with ill intentions, most of the people in the meeting room had blank expressions on their faces. In stark contrast, their inner "fucking" screen swipes.

Tony made it clear that he did it on purpose, and Gu Qing knew this, so he immediately said: "This name is really catchy and impressive." It was as if he didn't connect the three letters to understand.

Not only the representatives of the legal teams of both parties, but even Tony was shocked by Gu Qing's magnanimity/brazenness, as if he had been beaten with a sap, and he had to knock out his teeth and swallow blood mixed with it. Who called this name Tony? I brought it up first.Tony wanted to stick to this name for a moment, anyway, it would be embarrassing and everyone would be embarrassing together, but then he thought he was cheated when he thought it was too hanging. Think about the name "SEX" being announced, everyone They also don't think about Gu Qing, who told him to pretend to be good at ordinary times, he is definitely responsible for this blame again.

Hmph, Tony decided not to be fooled, he was about to say something to smooth this matter over, when Gu Qing said in a human-like manner: "Well, I was joking."

Tony: "..." Damn, this guy did it on purpose!

In this way, the name SEX, which is catchy and impressive, was abandoned, and TXT was born next. Anyway, these letters must form a word with special meaning. , isn't the most common explanation like txt a text format, and because of this reason, it doesn't look like the name of a film company, so it was abandoned again, and finally ET was selected.

The last "." is not intended to cover up, because Gu Qing took a fancy to the fact that it can represent aliens. According to the components of the world view that Gu Qing has grasped at this stage, 'alien' is not just imagined by the public, or What exists in film and television dramas has been proven to exist, but the public does not know it now, but it has a tendency to be presented to the public.That's kind of interesting, isn't it?

In layman's terms, Gu Qing is afraid that the world will not be chaotic.

And having said that, it seems that what Gu Qing said to the reporters was not serious nonsense anymore.As for Leonardo, who knows the origin of the name, he doesn't think about it now, mainly because the name SEX is too shocking, and ET is simply too simple and unpretentious compared with it.

After settling his mind, Leonardo simply put it aside, and asked Gu Qing, "Are you going to star in The Lord of the Rings, Eric?"

Tolkien's classic fantasy novel "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy has recently been exposed and has entered the casting stage. Many Tolkien fans are speculating whether Gu Qing, who is an investor, will appear in the role, and if so, will he? Which role do you play?Some book fans have even skipped the previous question and instead guessed which role Gu Qing would be suitable to play in The Lord of the Rings.Anyway, it's the speculation of book fans, and neither the "Lord of the Rings" crew nor the film company has given any pertinent news, so they let the popularity rise and attracted the attention of "Lord of the Rings". This is obviously a natural publicity advantage.

Gu Qing shook his head, "We planned to shoot it into three parts, but in fact we adopted a three-part continuous shooting mode, and the official shooting cycle is expected to be as long as one year, hm, this seems to be the filming of the leading actors Period, but I don’t play, and I don’t have any plans to make a cameo now.” Peter Jackson originally intended to invite Gu Qing to play, but after he mentioned it, Gu Qing said that he would not participate in the filming, and Peter Jackson Only to express regret.

"Are you interested?" Gu Qing asked.

"What?" Leonardo shook his head quickly, "No, that's not what I meant."

Gu Qing said thoughtfully: "I think so, you haven't even read the original book."

Leonardo quit, and he yelled in dissatisfaction: "Are you discriminating against me?"—Did he not notice that Gu Qing used declarative sentences?

Gu Qing blinked: "Then have you seen it?"

Leonardo blushed and didn't say anything. He really hasn't read Tolkien's works, and he's not a fantasy fan. He knows "The Lord of the Rings" because Gu Qing bought the rights to adapt it. Come on down, get ready to make it live-action.Adhering to the principle of not losing the battle, Leonardo raised his chin: "Hmph, it's as if you can memorize it backwards!"

Is this stealing the concept?

Gu Qing turned a deaf ear to this. He stroked the Lord of the Rings on the ring finger of his right hand. When he opened his mouth again, he said something that Leonardo couldn't understand at all, and finally said: "This is Tolkien from "The Lord of the Rings". Elvish that Mister created, and I can read and write in Elvish, so—”

"I don't understand." Leonardo was still speaking stiffly. When he met Gu Qing's half-smile eyes, he curled his lips slightly, "I'll just pretend you know Elvish, okay. Eric, you really Like a nerd, don't tell me you can speak Klingon. No way, do you?"

Gu Qing really knows it, and not only that, he also said as a matter of course: "The grammar of Klingon comes from the North American Indian tribe, which is close to the Aztec language family. It uses the standard 26 Latin letters and adopts the least common natural language. The object-verb-subject word order took me hours."

After a while, Leonardo said, "Otaku!"

This response was really...soft. Fortunately, Leonardo finally thought about the business at this time, and started a new topic very bluntly: "I received a script."

"Then?"

Leonardo had already forgotten the unhappiness just now, and became excited: "David Fincher, do you know? It is David Fincher who once directed "The Seven Deadly Sins."

"I know, he is the director of "Alien 3." The "Alien" series is more familiar to Gu Qing, or he once lived in a world where real aliens existed, and David was created in that world from.In this world, "Alien" has become the protagonist of the series of movies. What is more worth mentioning is that "Alien 2" was directed by Cameron, which created a new pattern of "Alien" movies. Quite rare (the director of the first "Alien" was Ridley Scott).The director of the third part is David Fincher. This is his film debut. Before that, he was a well-known director of commercials/music videos.It's just that the shooting process of "Alien 3" was very unpleasant, and the word-of-mouth after its release was also very average, although the box office was not bad.

Leonardo glared at Gu Qing: "Why do you always fight against me? David Fincher's most famous and highest-rated movie is "The Seven Deadly Sins", isn't it?" The serial murder case with the seven deadly crimes as the main line has a good reputation and box office.

"Fine, keep talking."

Leonardo snorted softly, and after a pause he found his clue: "He is preparing his new film now, and the hero has a dual personality, but he doesn't know that he has a dual personality, but he finally found out .Uh, I mean, I got the script, I'm interested in the part, we talked on the phone. He was kind of down on me, okay, down on me—”

Leonardo still chose to tell the truth, of course he heard what David Fincher meant, and he couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this: "Eric, I really envy you, why haven't you been labeled as an idol?" Where's Pie's hat?" He didn't have such troubles before "Titanic" became a cinematic miracle, and it is undeniable that the sunny and uninhibited Jack defined him.

Gu Qing thought about it carefully and answered him: "Because I have money."

Leonardo squinted at him and said angrily, "Are you serious?"

"Otherwise? If you think about the two films I made this year, "The Truman Show" and "The Matrix", I paid for them. group'."

This explanation seems to be the same thing, but, "Even if you don't invest, they are eager to find you to act, okay?"

"Really? Thank you for your comfort."

Leonardo pursed his lips, decided not to be as knowledgeable as Gu Qing, and continued to talk about his main topic: "David Finch didn't think much of me at first, but after we chatted, he changed his opinion of me. Later, Just yesterday, we had another face-to-face interview and an audition, and although we haven’t signed the final contract yet, I think it’s almost done.”

——Before Leonardo became popular in the world because of 'Jack', he always preferred the roles of marginalized people and performed them very well, but everyone ignored them because of 'Jack'.Besides, the male protagonist in the new script, coincidentally, is also called Jack. I became Rose in the dream, but I didn't know that it was just a dream with a certain overlap, and Leonardo also checked a lot of information at that time, and now he has used it.

"This is worthy of congratulations," Gu Qing saw Leonardo hesitated to speak, "Do you still have something to say?"
