1027. Human-like and dog-like(1/4)
"My friend, congratulations, for completing the historic first step into Hollywood."
This is a sentence Georgia sent to Xu Xin's ears amid the applause of the completion of the filming.
"Well……"
Xu Xin was stunned.
But he did not show a particularly joyful expression as the other party expected.
Instead, he looked...shocked.
"What's wrong?"
Georgia asked with a smile.
Then Xu Xin shook his head and said:
"Honestly, George, if you don't remind me, I've even forgotten that this is Hollywood."
“…”
Now it's Lao Qian's turn to be speechless.
But his eyes noticed the expression on the young director's face.
Very calm.
In this life, Lao Qian has met many directors who have just come to Hollywood and have some opportunities.
Most people rarely have particularly calm expressions on their faces after completing their first work in Hollywood.
Because Hollywood is their dream.
Although it is a bit discriminatory to say it out, in the eyes of these producers...especially the older generation of producers, many foreign directors have a bit of a country man's taste.
After feeling the charm of this dream factory, I became trembling, happy and terrified...
And this feeling is beyond the reach of Hollywood natives who were born in Rome.
Just like the longing for the United States from the Third World.
Many people have it.
Nine out of ten, it is absolutely no exaggeration.
but……
The young friend in front of him had an extremely clear gaze.
It's like telling yourself:
“It’s just a movie.”
A...no big deal.
Old Qian was stunned for a moment.
Then he smiled.
...
"Well, I need a while to go on vacation."
MR.Wick, who returned with a dog in his arms, said directly.
Xu Xin nodded with a smile:
"I understand, "Walden."
"That's right."
The handsome guy with long hair, blood on his body, and his legs under the suit nodded vigorously.
Suddenly, my face showed a look of recollection:
"That girl's interview is really special and memorable. Hey, can we still find her next time we go to the Celestial Empire to promote the movie?"
“…”
Xu Xin twitched his lips and said something unhappy:
"Keanu, she's just grown up."
“…?”
The old coach was ridiculous.
There is a sense of absurdity as to what you are saying.
But no matter what, the movie has indeed been completed.
Lao Qian naturally sent an invitation, inviting everyone to sit in a winery of his friend.
The finale banquet.
No one refused.
Drink for half a night.
But I didn't talk about anything serious.
The crew has been tense for two months and it is finally easy to finish the filming. If they still have to talk about serious things, it would be a bit too disgraceful.
Film sealing and archive, actors on vacation, crew members rest.
But Xu Xin's work was not completed.
The day after the completion of the filming, he went to Paramount. First, he wanted to confirm some procedures such as various fees and sign his own name to facilitate the financial archiving. Second, he wanted to sort out the special effects shots and take them all back to the side of the wind.
In a few days, Paramount's special effects department will send someone to chase the light and begin to enter the special effects lens production stage.
After a busy day, it was the juncture of dinner, and he refused Lao Qian's proposal to have dinner together.
He has an appointment today.
But it's not with any beautiful women.
"Hey, uh, long time no see."
"Jody!"
In an Italian restaurant, Xu Xin hugged Jodi Tario, a special effects artist he met during "Pacific Rim".
"The movie is finished?"
"Yes, it just ended last night. I sorted out the special effects footage today. I will return to China tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Because the restaurant he was looking for today was a very traditional Italian restaurant introduced by Kobe.
How traditional is it?
The bread is served with red wine at the front of the meal.
And it's still the kind of ordinary glass, not the goblet.
Guests can choose to eat it in red wine with bread.
According to Kobe, this is a Sicilian tradition.
This shows the flavor of the restaurant.
And Xu Xin is pouring wine for Jody now.
This restaurant is not a high-end restaurant. The waiter just helps with the wine and pours the first glass of wine or coffee.
A glass of red wine was poured into the cup, and Xu Xin said:
"I've been out for more than two months and miss the little guy at home very much. If I can, I won't even be prepared to stay for a moment. It's better to go back now."
Jody shrugged indifferently:
"Sorry, uh, I can't understand how you feel."
"I know, after all, you don't even have a girlfriend."
"Wow!...I mean: Wow! I didn't even drink wine, is your attack power so strong?"
“Hahahahaha…”
Xu Xin joked and raised his cup:
"Cheers, friend."
“I wish you good health.”
Jody raised her glass and signaled her. After taking a sip, she tore a loaf of bread and put it in her mouth to chew it.
Just so happened that the salad was also on.
This Italian country-style cuisine is different from the exquisite placing of the nobles and men. It mainly focuses on a simple and crude dish.
A small basin of salad was served, and Xu Xin also went straight to the topic:
"How are you thinking about going to the Heavenly Dynasty?"
