155. Chapter 155 Please watch a movie

Wang Jie was told that he had nothing to do in the past few days and could have a good rest in the hotel. The logistics staff were in contact with each other wildly, making up for the lost props, and at the same time changing the shooting plan, trying to shoot scenes that did not require various props first. As for Wang Jie, he returned to his room tiredly. Before entering the door, he looked at Natalie's direction, and the girl was also looking at him and nodding.

"Crazy..." After experiencing fatigue for a long time, he ran in the wind and sand with the strong wind that could blow heavy objects. His whole body was sore, and even sand in his hair, Wang Jie took a shower, wrapped himself in a blanket on the bed, closed his eyes and rested. He didn't know what he was thinking. After making a few calls, he took the satellite phone to charge. At this time, the internal phone of the hotel rang: "Hey."

Wang Jie originally closed his eyes and wrapped himself in the quilt. Now he sat up, leaned against the head of the bed, and said, "Hey, Natalie, is there anything wrong? Do you need my rescue again?"

"No, I'm very safe now, I just want to find someone to talk to you." Natalie said there.

"This is not like you. In my impression, you can read books when you are bored." Wang Jie said.

Natalie replied, “I feel bored even if I read books.”

Wang Jie said: "Aren't you taking you to the hospital for physical examination later and doing psychological interventions? You have to understand that the hospital here in Tozell is just to treat minor illnesses. I would recommend that you go to Italy to take a look. Anyway, it won't take a few days to find a handsome and understanding psychologist to help you solve your inner troubles or something."

"Psychologists, when they get their licenses, they are mostly bald uncles. Well, why don't you go?"

"In my case, I told people that I need to go to the hospital, but someone would believe me. Otherwise, you can find a few bad people to prove how I am healthy?"

"I'm the same. Actually, I stayed there all night last night, and I could even replenish my food and not hungry at all, so there was no need to waste the crew's manpower for treatment. I was a Jew after all, and Exodus happened nearby here. How could I be a weak little girl?"

Wang Jie was about to say that the Bible was all fake, but suddenly he realized it and remembered his various experiences. He could only say: "Next time I meet the director, I will ask him to give you an award, the Best Working Actress Award."

"Thank you, you're working very hard, too."

The two of them shamelessly praised each other for a while, and suddenly there was nothing to say. Natalie waited for a while and said, "By the way, tell me why you have to sign the book Harry Potter. Although I have read this book several times, I do have a good writing style above the level, but I don't know how many books there are for such a level every year, so why do I have to sign this book?"

Wang Jie didn't want to explain, so he said, "This is actually very simple, it's just intuition."

"Hmph, you must have a reason." Natalie mocked him there.

"No matter what I say, I've been in the New York Times bestseller rankings. Don't discriminate against people too much. I'm still very appreciative."

Natalie said, “It’s up to you.”

"He is so good about this book Harry Potter, and he is very good at this sense of inclusion. People who read it, no matter how big or small, will bring themselves into Harry, and slowly grow from an ordinary person to a wizard and magician with mysterious identities hidden in modern society. Isn't this cool?" Wang Jie still explained.

Natalie was dissatisfied: "But, there is no girl's business here?"

"Miss Natalie Hermione, aren't you there? Look, in fact, you and Hermione are exactly the same. They are both very good at learning, but their personality cannot provoke them." Wang Jie sneered.

"You can't afford to offend me, I have so many friends," said Natalie.

Wang Jie said: "Then when you are in danger, the only one who comes to save you is me. Speaking of which, what I have obtained is not only all the copyrights of the future series of novels, but also the adaptation rights of movies, TV series, comics, and animations. You are very suitable to play Hermione."

"Oh," Natalie thought for a while and said, "It sounds good, but it doesn't match the age."

Wang Jie explained: "Yes, you are indeed a little older than Hermione in the book, so I'm just talking about it. At least in a few years, I think I still can't start it. I hope this project will be started before the millennium."

Natalie said: "You plan to take the path of producers in the future? Are you a director or an investor?"

Wang Jie said: "I am already a profit-level director. I forgot? I am a very good person now. Not only are the filming of the society screenings, but there are also various universities and high school campus theaters to rent copies, and TV stations are also very interested. If you want to broadcast the right, the box office has exceeded 10 million."

As the summer vacation is approaching, although "The Super Code Me" is not available, and the box office of the man in black and Air Force One who were at the same time are very popular, the sudden appearance of soft articles made the terrifying American parents quickly take their children to the cinema to watch this movie, so that their children can quickly have a clear understanding of fried chicken and try to eat less of this thing in the future. Therefore, the box office of "The Super Code Me" is still good. Of course, there is definitely no financial tycoon who takes the opportunity to snipe McDonald's to make a lot of money.

Natalie admitted, "Okay, you're the best, okay, I'll take a break."

Feeling that he seemed to be saying something wrong, Wang Jie listened to Natalie hanging up the phone and sighed that women were resentful when they were far away, and they were not inferior when they were close. It was like the weather in June. After thinking about it, he stood up, put on his clothes, packed up a few things, and left the room and came to the door of Natalie's room. Wang Jie seemed a little nervous, but when he looked at the corridor, he still knocked on the door.

After a while, "Who," the voice inside came. Wang Jie deliberately said the voice low and said, "Hello, customer service."

"I didn't call any customer service." Natalie opened the door and saw that it was Wang Jie. He walked in with a lot of things in his hand. Natalie took two steps back and made way and said, "What are you here to do?"

Wang Jie said: "I know you're bored. This is the video recorder of the crew. It was originally used by the director to see ****. This is an overseas Chinese I happened to meet. I borrowed it and took a look together."

The air conditioner is turned on in the room, which is a bit cold. Natalie is probably lying on the bed reading, but she is still wearing a fitted clothes. She has a purple and blue plaid shirt on her upper body and jeans on her lower body. It is similar to the room where Wang Jie lives, both are single rooms, but the configuration is quite standard. A small glass bathroom with one-way vision, and you can only see the outside inside, a bed, a wardrobe, and a TV facing the bed.

Wang Jie took the video tape to Natalie, then came to the TV in her room, and started to connect the video recorder to the power supply and video cable. At the same time, he glanced at it. It was a single room, and Natalie's bed was facing the TV. Fortunately, there was nothing that shouldn't be seen. Wang Jie often fiddled with these electronic devices, so he was naturally familiar with it.

"achineseodyssey? What kind of movie is this?" Natalie asked.

Wang Jie turned on the video recorder, put it in the video tape, and said, "A good Chinese movie, with a Chinese name, is usually called "A Chinese Journey to the West."

That’s right, it’s the big talk of the West. This is a movie that is currently available. Among the current Chinese movies, there are not many movies that can be watched. Natalie shyly cleaned up her bed and said, “I don’t have a chair in the room, sit on the ground and watch it. This cushion can be used.”

"Okay, I can also take the opportunity to explain it to you. Some things, if you simply read English subtitles, you can't actually understand its essence." Wang Jie said.

Natalie stopped him and said, "Movies are art that transcends language. Many times, it is not needed. When I watch Japanese movies, I just rely on my own understanding."

"So amazing," Wang Jie didn't say anything, squatted down and said, "The director seemed to be busy just now, and it was probably going to take several days before the filming would continue."

"What a pity, we can't help either."

"What we can do is take a good rest and adjust our condition to the highest level, and don't forget the lines. When it comes to the actual shooting, it's best to go through it once, at least not too many times. By the way, it seems that the one who ng the most is Natalie, you." Wang Jie said as he looked at the opening scene of the American Journey on TV.

"You know the mistake is Jack. He is still a child, an 8-year-old child, and he is very good at his current level," Natalie said dissatisfied. "Speaking of this, you can really applaud the director with satisfaction, an action star."

Wang Jie smiled and said, "I am in good health, who should I blame?"

Natalie asked, "By the way, I remember when you were in London, you turned a lot of somersaults, how many can you turn?"

"How many Guinness records are there? I'll check and tell you that I have no limit in this regard. Well, the movie has begun, watch it slowly."

What Wang Jie brought was the video tapes of the first and second part of the American Journey. Natalie remained silent until she finished watching it. Until the end, she watched the monkey Stephen Chow holding the golden cudgel and leaving the kissing man and woman. She lowered her head, sighed, and said, "Some places, because I don't understand Chinese, I don't understand it, but this is definitely a good movie, and it seems to have rich meanings."

What's the meaning is just a saying, but before Star Wars or Titanic appeared, the special effects or production of this movie was considered a top choice. "Fortunately, at least I didn't have a waste of my work. I'm despised by you for being uneducated."

Natalie asked, "Some parts are not understood, please put them again."

"no problem."

"The last place, why can't the monkey hold that girl when she put on the golden hoop? What does this mean?" She touched Wang Jie's head and said, "Fortunately, there is no on your head."

Wang Jie said: "This thing should have never appeared in Chinese history. It's almost a metaphor, which means that for career and peace, something must be sacrificed, such as love, such as Che Guevara. Well, this character may not be a proper metaphor. After all, he is an anti-capitalist, and you may not like him. He is a 40-year-old, but he goes abroad for the wrong minister of Cuba and goes abroad to make a revolution and is finally arrested and shot. He is a very typical example of giving up his family for his career."

"Of course I admire Che Guevara very much. I am not a capitalist. This metaphor is very wonderful, but it is just too cruel to women." Natalie seemed not very satisfied with this.

"It's understandable that I'm just my personal opinion. When I had the opportunity, I met the director of this movie and asked you what his meaning was." Wang Jie said immediately.

Natalie seemed very interested and asked, "Oh, do you know this director? I think these two actresses are very beautiful. Do you know them?"

Wang Jie shook his head: "I just got into the entertainment industry in the United States. Of course I don't know them anymore, but it's easy to get to know them, just make a few phone calls. Speaking of which, I'm planning to start my directorship next year if I'm not busy anymore."

Natalie asked, "Oh, what are your thoughts? Tell me, I'll help you with reference."

Wang Jie said: "First, I have not invested much in filming two or three movies with excellent scripts. Then, I want to try it out and bring my novel, the Walking Dead, to TV. Well, I watched it. If it is difficult to make a movie, it should be made into a TV series. After that, it will be almost Harry Potter's film production. Of course, if there are any good ideas and scripts during the period, I will definitely shoot him first."

Natalie thought for a while and said, "The TV series is still a horror type. I don't know if it's popular."

In the United States, the production of TV series and movies is a clear group. Those who can span the film and television circles are generally not simple characters. There are different ways of producing the two programs, and there are also restrictions on the audience's acceptance of the role. For example, Wang Jie's guest appearance in "Friends". After the ten seasons of "Friends" ended, the only one who can go to the film industry to work hard was Jennifer Aniston, who played Rachel. In this way, Jennifer also played many non-mainstream roles in miserable ways. Because if you want to attract audiences to go to the cinema and enjoy a movie, then the sense of immersion is an indispensable thing. Jennifer gave the American people too deep an impression of "American sweetheart" and it is difficult not to remind them of Friends. Therefore, people in the TV circle often want to enter the film circle, and it is difficult and difficult to go through hardships.

Before, American TV series were either funny like Raymond, Friends or Seinfeld, or science fiction like Star Trek, which is not as good as the 21st century, when the flowers bloomed, all kinds of crimes, thrillers, or songs of Ice and Fire that can be compared to the excellent epic TV series in domestic movies, or even Breaking Bad, which describes crime, jailbreak, etc.

So when Natalie asked this, Wang Jie also understood that the popularity of a movie or TV series is inseparable from the background of the times. For example, in Hong Kong in the 1990s, the economy was prosperous, so it was mainly a commercial war drama. In the new century, all kinds of police and gangster films were in power, which were related to the living standards and economic development at that time.
