Looking at Xu Xin's doubtful eyes, Keanu Reeves seemed to understand that his words were a bit abrupt, so he quickly said:

"Xu, do you know my movement instructions?"

"...I don't know, what's wrong?"

"His name is Chen. He is my dedicated action director and good friend, and he is also from China. We recently had a story... about martial arts, which happened in China. But you know... there is a relationship between Hollywood and China

Due to some cultural differences, I co-starred with him, but in terms of story... we want to make it more exciting... I wonder if you are free? Can you help us take a look? "

"Well……"

Hearing this, Xu Xin thought for a while and nodded:

"Okay. What time will it be tomorrow?"

"Any time is fine, morning? Afternoon? When are you free?"

"Then let's do it in the morning. How about it?"

"good."

Keanu Reeves nodded and said with a smile:

"We have been talking about taking the story back to Xiangjiang and asking the director to look at it. After all, this is a story that takes place in China. But fate made me meet you here. Thank you very much for your help, Xu."

"It's okay. I'm very free anyway."

Seeing him reaching out, Xu Xin shook his hand, and then took out his mobile phone:

"Then let's exchange contact information. Send me your address and I'll find you tomorrow morning."

"OK."

The two completed the exchange of phone numbers.

And Xu Xin also roughly understood this story from just one cigarette.

It tells the story of a martial arts master fighting against underground gangs.

To be honest, when Xu Xin heard the origin of this story, he lost interest.

the reason is simple.

The Hollywood smell of stereotypes and prejudice is a bit too strong.

but……

"I plan to direct it myself..."

When Keanu Reeves said these words, Xu Xin wisely chose to shut up.

Fine.

For a Hollywood director to make a Chinese feature film, the requirements are not too high. What’s more...

"Honestly, it's a challenge for me."

look.

It's also his directorial debut.

…

"Xu, I want to go over there to talk to them about investment. Let's see you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow, Keanu."

At the door of the reception venue, Xu Xin waved and watched him leave. He put the champagne glass in his hand on the waiter's tray and replaced it with a new one.

After taking a look at Margot Robbie talking to a man in a suit and tie, he didn't bother him, but planned to find a stool to sit down and rest for a while.

But at this moment...

"Hey, Xu."

Xu Xin turned his head and greeted the visitor with a smile:

"Hello, Ms. Coppola."

Sofia Coppola smiled and clinked a glass with him.

Then he asked rather curiously:

"Xu, are you planning to come to Hollywood to pursue your career?"

"Uh...not really."

Xu Xin shook his head slightly:

"My wife has a movie here that is about to be shot, and I'm here to accompany her. As for coming here... I bought a house in Beverly Hills, which happens to be in the same neighborhood as Georgia. He invited me to come here.

of."

"I see."

After Sofia Coppola nodded, she continued to ask:

"So what are you busy with this year? Are there any new works? I also watched "Under the Hawthorn Tree", it was so pure that it was impressive. Unfortunately... I was also looking forward to it being released in North America, but it seems that you have no choice.

The market here.”

"Yes. That's right. After all, that happened in the special era of China. Hollywood... has always had some biased filters for my country. Although it is said that film art has no national boundaries, I still prefer

What everyone sees is a brand new dynasty, not those stereotyped and somewhat prejudiced impressions."

What he said was actually not pure.

"Hawthorn" did not consider the North American market at all because there were no film producers looking for it, and the main audience was in Europe.

But after chatting with Keanu Reeves about his movie just now, he unconsciously had this emotion.

After hearing his words, Sofia Coppola showed an uncharacteristic expression of approval:

"It's true. Cultural barriers are like shackles. For Hollywood, except for American culture...or American culture, other cultures are like subcultures. What they do is export and conquer, not

Absorb and understand.”

After saying this, Xu Xin was a little more surprised.

Seeing the look in his eyes, Sofia Coppola smiled and shrugged:

"I've lived in Japan for many years, so I've seen it more realistically."

Xu Xin smiled slightly:

"That's why I particularly like the movie "Lost in Translation." To me, I'm like Bob Harris in reality. This is Tokyo. Hollywood is here, but I can't touch it."

Hearing him use "Lost in Translation" as an example, Sofia Coppola seemed to be more sympathetic.

However, in order to avoid the topic being too "low", she smiled and asked:

"What about Italy?"

"Of course it's my second hometown."

Xu Xin, who was not blushing and out of breath, said something instinctively.

This is the face given by others.

I respect you so that I can give you face. So I have to be steady and steady.

"Ha~"

Sofia Coppola chuckled:

"As an Italian descendant, this sentence makes me feel honored...Xu, let's leave our contact information. If you encounter anything here, you can communicate with me. When we were in Venice, we were still strangers, but

There must be a reason why fate brought us together here."

"sure."

The two happily exchanged phone numbers.

After another glass of champagne, Sofia Coppola left.

As soon as she left, Georgia, who was passing by, saw him alone, so she smiled and invited him into a small circle of producers.

In terms of film performance, Xu Xin may be a minor celebrity in the eyes of these people.

But when they heard that he was actually the Olympic torch designer, the surprise in these people's eyes overflowed.

…

The cocktail party ended calmly, and after the party ended, he sent Margot Robbie home.

In the car, Margot talked a lot about what happened at the party.

It was mainly about socializing. Her biggest gain was that she saved the phone numbers of several directors today. She seemed very excited and kept thanking Xu Xin. After all, this kind of opportunity was simply too rare.

Xu Xin didn't care, he just wished her good luck in the audition after getting off the car.

After sending her home, she returned directly to her home.
