Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

During dinner, Tom's stepfather Seth tentatively asked, "Mary, didn't Mr. Kubrick come with you this time?"

"Oh, I called him before. Stanley said that he is busy with the preparations for the shooting of a new movie, and he will not be able to come here until tomorrow." Compared to Mr. Kubrick, who is honored by others, Su Yun's "A child favored by God" is to call someone's name directly, and you can know the distance when you hear it.

After answering, Su Yun raised her head and looked at Seth again, "Tom and I are good friends, if you have any questions, you might as well just tell them."

Seen through by Su Yun, Seth smiled awkwardly, and then, with his wife's encouragement, asked again: "You should also understand that once a person becomes famous, someone will come to him... Over time we got a lot of invitations for Tom to audition."

"But we are really unfamiliar with this aspect, and we dare not make a rash decision, so I want your help to give some advice." Tom's mother Mary added.

"No problem, but can I see what these invitations are?" Su Yun asked back.

Hearing Su Yun's words, Seth and Mary quickly took out all the invitations accumulated during this period.

Su Yun took a look: Since the two decided to support Tom's entry into the entertainment industry, they have been quite concerned about Tom's "career". These invitations are all sorted and arranged according to the type of content to make a table, which looks very good. It is clear at a glance.

"For now, let's stick to normal study and extra-curricular performing arts courses. If you want to maintain a certain degree of exposure, you can participate in guest appearances in this long-lived TV series, and shoot commercials for children's clothing or sneakers..." Su Yun helped choose a few It's not easy to get out of the car.

In fact, most of the invitations were for advertisements for snacks, but the food category was easy to overturn, and Su Yun was not familiar with the American food industry at this time, so she couldn't give them any useful references, so in the end, she could only be cautious.

"Okay, we understand." The two of Seth took the form.

"I don't have a scene suitable for Tom recently, but later, there may be a small game console commercial suitable for him." Su Yun said again.

"Thank you so much!" After the two of Seth thanked Su Yun with smiles on their faces, they quickly pushed Tom who was in a daze, "Tom, what are you doing, why don't you thank Mary? "

"Oh..." Tom was stunned for a moment, and then he said, "Thank you, Mary."

"Why are you polite? We are good friends." Su Yun pushed him lightly, making everyone at the table laugh.

"Tom is shy, coward!" Contrary to the tacit understanding of her sisters, Marion, the youngest, made a face at him.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Tom was so angry that he wanted to punch her threateningly across the table as a warning.

"Okay, okay, what are you and Marianne concerned about, how old is she?" The sisters hurriedly held him down, "Don't be rude to the guests!"

Knowing that it would be impolite to continue the quarrel, Tom moaned and stuffed a chicken leg into his mouth.

After finishing the meal seemingly harmoniously and warmly, and waving goodbye to Tom's family, it was still Tom who sent her back to the cabin.

"What's wrong with you?" Su Yun looked at him.

"Is it true that friends can't be true friends in the face of interests?" Thinking of his parents' overt and secret temptation to Su Yun during dinner made Tom feel very uncomfortable when he thought about his acting dream.

"Isn't this a normal thing? Your father and mother are concerned about you and want to do their best to help you." Su Yun is quite used to it: It's not that she wants to go through the back door to snatch other people's things, it's just because There are people around who are more familiar with this circle, so adults will subconsciously want to use these methods to get more information.

Moreover, the two adults who are parents both lowered their faces and asked her about the child in a good voice, which can almost be said to be pitiful to the parents of the world.

"Is that so? Are you really not angry?" Tom asked cautiously.

"Of course I'm not angry. They don't understand, so they asked me, a person who understands better. This is a very, very normal thing." Su Yun looked at Tom with a puffy face, "Is this why you are awkward?"

"I'm not naive!" Relying on Su Yun's experience of always worrying about IQ because of the filming together before, seeing Su Yun's gaze, Tom hastily retorted first.

"I didn't intend to say this." The silly Baitian who can't bear to be teased can always make people feel superior in IQ in front of him, so Su Yun, who was delighted, stood on tiptoe and touched his golden retriever With a shake of the head, "You can't be awkward with me, I only have you as a good friend here."

"It's just me? What about Vivienne, Ann, Cathy and Marianne?" Tom squinted and looked over.

Boy, what do you mean by reporting the names of four girls at once!

Makes her sound like a cheating philanderer—at least not yet!

"Vivienne has already returned to England with Stanley, and aren't Ann, Cassie and Marianne your sisters? Why do you say that?" Su Yun replied smoothly, "Where are you? What is the comparison? They can't compare with you at all."

It is definitely incomparable, the fragrant and soft little sisters and the future fat sheep who are going to be used for wool; the former needs an affectionate attitude, and the latter needs training.

I don't know Su Yun's inner voice, but Tom, who only heard Su Yun's superficial reply, nodded in satisfaction: "This is more or less..."

"Are you jealous of them?" Su Yun probably sensed something at this moment, "Please, I made a special time to come to New Jersey this time, but it's all for you!"

"You, you don't have to be so direct..." Tom was a little confused.

"Can I not be direct? Do you understand how much money I took from me at the time? If I don't come to see how you are doing now, what if my 'deposit' is given for nothing—although the ending seems to be It's about the same." After Su Yun shook her head and sighed, she looked up and was also a little confused, "What's wrong with you?"

Tom turned his back to Su Yun with a black face, and did not speak again.

"Hey, I don't blame you for wasting money. Saving people is a good thing, and I quite like this bat pendant." Su Yun took out the silver bat pendant from her pocket and waved it, "Wait I have If it’s empty, let someone make a necklace and string it on—”

"Hey, Tom! Why are you yelling and walking away!"

"I didn't ask you to pay back the money!"

After saying this sentence, Tom, who was walking in front, paused for a moment, and then simply ran away without a trace.

Su Yun, who stayed where she was, looked at her back disappearing in the night wind, and could only shake her head helplessly again: Alas, it's really hard to guess what a young man at this age is thinking.

After another hasty farewell meeting, Su Yun, who felt that it was more difficult to gain favor than to make money, hurried back to New York by car early in the morning.

"Hey, Stanley, what have you been up to lately, you don't have time to get money?" After seeing Kubrick, Su Yun greeted jokingly.

Because she really knows that Kubrick is very short of money now: "Artificial Intelligence" has only been divided into a small part, and the rest of the big ones have not been able to be arranged. I was in a hurry to make "Barry Lyndon", an extremely expensive costume movie.

Of course, Kubrick’s original idea was a more money-burning costume production with Napoleon as the main character-but at this level of money-burning, it may not be possible to add up the money earned by his previous films. live.

"Waterloo", which happened to be the same theme, really suffered from the box office Waterloo. Faced with all kinds of resistance, even if the so-called favorite characters are small artificial intelligence robots and Napoleon's Kubrick, they can only settle for the next best thing. This story about characters from the Napoleonic era, "Barry Lyndon," was chosen.

"This movie, I want to shoot it all with natural light, and some palaces in it also want to choose real sightseeing spots..." Kubrick said that it was a money-burning operation, and Warner's people wiped their sweat.

"But no matter how many candles there are, it can't meet the camera's lighting standard, right?" someone commented.

"Didn't you give me an old-fashioned Michelle BNC camera before?" Kubrick was very calm, "I got an aerospace lens designed for NASA. This lens has a super large aperture of 0.7. You can also capture the picture below."

The person on the opposite side thought for a while, and finally recalled: Kubrick had taken a fancy to a machine in Warner's warehouse that had been unused for a long time, so the person in charge generously gave it to him directly.

It's just unexpected that Kubrick's "waste utilization" is such a show.

Su Yun suddenly realized and nodded: 0.7, this level may not even be accessible to her in the future, no wonder this movie has a beautiful and dreamy classical oil painting texture.

It's just a waste of money...

After talking about the preparatory plan for the new movie, the two changed offices to collect the teddy bear merchandise sent by the doll manufacturer.

After finally filling his tense and empty purse, Kubrick's mood improved a lot, and he even had time to chat with Su Yun: "I don't know how much Warner can invest in me this time?"

"Don't worry, there must be enough for you to finish the new movie." Su Yun quickly answered, "You are Stanley Kubrick!"

The two, the old and the young, who are determined to make a lot of money to do what they want to do, are very speculative. Kubrick also breathed a sigh of relief: "Thanks to the box office hit of "Artificial Intelligence", otherwise this time New film negotiations can be difficult."

"You will definitely succeed. If you can't succeed, then no one in this world can." Su Yun said again.

"Sometimes, you have to compromise with money." Kubrick is not as disgusted as ordinary artists who are overly disgusted with Chafan operations, "Recently I met a very interesting young man, he is very talented—— —But in order to get Universal to promise that he can shoot whatever he wants in the future, he is competing with a shark..."

"Because the special effects technology required for this commercial film is very high, so he also found someone to contact me, saying that he hopes to get the assistance of Future Dream Studio..."

"What's this person's name?" Su Yun seemed to catch something and asked hastily.

"Steven Spielberg."
