Chapter 556 557, Encounter?
Santa Monica is only a 10-minute drive from Beverly Hills. With its convenient transportation, it has become one of the most popular leisure beaches for Hollywood stars.
The spacious beach, the blue Pacific Ocean, and the relaxing atmosphere are all located here. A number of high-end seaside resort hotels are located here. Third Street, for example, is an ideal place for shopping and dining, and there are many luxury brands.
She resolutely refused Sun Hao's invitation to attend the meeting between him and Steven Spielberg and John Stankey. Zeng Li drove here with Jin Jingji, preparing to take a bath in the sea to celebrate the super long stay. The beginning of the holiday.
Come to the beach, put on the three-point swimsuit that you have prepared early, and show off your good figure under the sun.
Of course, before going into the water, Zeng Li also took adequate sun protection measures. He first applied sunscreen all over his body, and then applied it all over his face and hands. In this way, he looked like a "white-faced man." Hmm..., a bit scary.
But after entering the water, Zeng Li felt much happier. Like a happy fish, he swam happily. He swam near the shore for a while as a warm-up, and then swam farther and farther...
It didn't take long. In 15 minutes, Zeng Li swam to the floating platform, took the swimming ring thrown by Jin Jingji from the speedboat, and she floated on the water to enjoy sunbathing. Her technique was quite mature.
But as he floated, Zeng Li felt something was wrong.
Hey..., there's someone next to you.
He opened his eyes and turned around to look, and sure enough, there was a blond beauty on the left doing the same thing as him, sitting and floating in a huge swimming ring.
"Hello, hello, Zeng."
The blonde beauty's way of saying hello is a bit ridiculous. She uses both Chinese and English. Of course, she speaks awkwardly in Chinese.
"Hello."
Zeng Li spoke English.
Bodyguard, driver and English teacher Jin Jingji said that when learning a foreign language, it is not scary to be teased by others. The scary thing is that you dare not open your mouth. If you don't open your mouth, you will never be able to learn the foreign language well.
Therefore, even if he does not speak fluently, Zeng Li still has to speak English in front of foreigners.
"Don't you know me, Zeng?"
The blonde blinked in curiosity.
"Sorry, maybe it's because I haven't watched many Hollywood movies. I really can't remember who you are?"
"Haha..." The blonde beauty laughed.
"Zeng, it seems like you haven't paid much attention to Hollywood gossip.
If you pay attention, you will definitely know that I am Nicole Kidman, the woman who is about to be abandoned by Hollywood superstar Tom Cruise. "
"Well…"
Zeng Li was a little confused!
When you talk like this, how should I answer it? I can't say he abandoned you, okay?
"Zeng, is Director Sun Hao treating you well?"
"fine!"
"Then..., has he ever had an affair?"
Crossing her long legs and stretching her arms, the blond beauty sitting in the swimming ring looked like she was a grown-up, and she didn't have the slightest sense not to pry into other people's privacy.
"Um…"
Zeng Li thought for a moment and smiled: "Maybe!
But I don’t mind too much because Sun Hao is very responsible and he is very kind to me and my family.
If I find another man, he might not be as good as Sun Hao. "
I am telling the truth. This question has been in Zeng Li's mind for a long time. After all, there have been a lot of scandals about Sun Hao in the entertainment industry in the past two years.
"Ha ha…"
Hearing this, the blonde beauty laughed again: "Zeng, let me tell you, I have thought the same way for the past ten years. As long as a man treats me well and is serious and responsible, I will pretend not to know anything else.
But in the end, what happened?
It's not like shoes that have been worn by a man and are just thrown away. "
What's going on with this guy?
The blonde beauty's heartfelt words made Zeng Li feel unhappy.
People are different. You can't compare Tom Cruise with Sun Hao, even if he is a long-established Hollywood superstar.
Perhaps seeing something wrong with Zeng Li's expression, the blonde beauty Nicole Kidman immediately made her purpose clear.
"Zeng, when you appeared on the beach just now, you were seen by Tom Cruise under the umbrella. So, he sent me over to ask you something?"
"Oh..., you tell me?"
"Is the movie "The Hangover" really starting tomorrow?"
"yes!"
"But none of the leading actors have officially signed a contract with director Sun Hao?"
"What does that have to do with it?" Zeng Li asked.
"How can it be okay? How can a movie directed by Sun Hao be filmed without the leading actor?" The blonde beauty was puzzled.
"hehe…"
Zeng Li smiled easily, struggled a bit, and stretched in the huge swimming ring.
“Since his debut, Sun Hao has always prepared 2 to 3 plans when doing things.
For example, for "The Hangover", if Sun Hao fails to receive a signing reply from Tom Cruise, Nicolas Cage, Angelina Jolie and others before one o'clock this afternoon.
Then, Sun Hao will quickly get in touch with some second-tier stars in Hollywood, such as Brad Pitt, Will Smith, and Rip Torn.
Of course, if these second-tier actors are not good enough, then Sun Hao will implement the third plan and immediately get in touch with some of our domestic actors..."
"Ah, how is that possible?" The blonde beauty expressed surprise.
"Isn't it because Director Sun Hao invited Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie and others because of their box office appeal?"
"Haha, Nicole, you think too much." Zeng Li shook her head.
"Take the movie "Moon" that was released some time ago as an example. Before the movie was released, did anyone in the United States or Europe know Jiang Wen?
No one?!
But even though the leading actor was not well-known, didn't "Moon" also achieve a box office of 200 million US dollars? You know, the cost of shooting this movie was less than 15 million, um..., RMB.
Of course, let's take "The Martian" as an example. Nicole, you should know Jiang Long, an action star from China. Although he is well-known, no one would have thought that the movie he starred in would one day sell for 1.27 billion US dollars at the box office?"
"Um..."
The blonde beauty frowned and said nothing.
However, her silence does not mean Zeng Li will not speak.
"So, Nicole, please go back and tell your somewhat conceited Hollywood superstar husband that we don't have much time left for him to sign the contract."
~~~~~~~~~~
John Stankey: "Director Sun Hao, let me be honest. On behalf of Time Warner, I formally invite you to direct the "Batman" series of movies?"
Sun Hao: "I'm afraid not, because I don't have time this year. My work schedule is too full."
John Stankey: "It doesn't matter. We can wait, even until 2003 or 2004, as long as you can agree?"
Sun Hao: "But I'm very expensive."
John Stankey: "We know this. Columbia Pictures is a listed company. It has disclosed in its financials that the income of each movie you and your filming team basically accounts for 12% to 15% of the global box office of the film.
And now, Time Warner will also follow your rules. "
Sun Hao: "Do you want me to write the movie script too?"
John Stankey: "We think you should write it, after all, you are a very good screenwriter."
Sun Hao: "In the crew, I need absolute power, including firing your investors."
John Stankey: "No problem!"
...
Sun Hao: "Well..., I have one last request?"
John Stankey: "Go ahead!"
Sun Hao: "For Batman, I will invite Chinese action star Jet Li to play; and for the Joker, I will invite Leslie Cheung, well..., the actor who played the father role in the movie "Train to Busan."
John Stankey: "It seems a bit difficult! Because no one has done this before, letting an oriental face play a superhero in the Western world."
"Hehe..., that's because you haven't met me before."
Confident Sun Hao stood up at this time and stretched out his hand to John Stankey in front of him.
