Chapter 1147

"OK, next, Miss Li Youhu, my pronunciation should be very accurate?"

"Yes, Mr. Letterman, it's amazing."

"In fact, I learned in advance that Miss Li's name is the most interesting one among you. It means" there is a fox there ". It comes from the name of a poem in an ancient Chinese poetry collection. If an audience saw the performance of Guofeng Art Troupe in New York last year, they would be very impressed by this poem. It happens that we found the performance at that time today Let's listen to the video first. "

Denise entertainment east coast headquarters on the upper west side, Manhattan.

Today is Tuesday, July 22.

This is the recording scene of the late night show of David Letterman. The crew of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon attended for the promotion of the film.

When the edited "Fox" dance was over, David Letterman said with an intoxicated face: "although I still can't understand it, it's really beautiful. I think you feel the same as me. Well, back to the point, Miss Li, can you give us a brief introduction to your role in the film? "

"Of course, my character is an aristocratic lady in ancient China. I have learned Kung Fu since I was a child, and I am good at it. At the same time, I am eager to get rid of the shackles of my family. To a large extent, the plot of the film is caused by my character's inner uneasiness. Oh, that's about it. I can't say more. If you are interested, you can go to the cinema."

"Let people look forward to it," David Letterman naturally said, and then looked at Ang Lee: "Mr director, why do you choose Miss Li as the heroine

"Because the appearance and temperament of foxes fit very well. First of all, Li is very beautiful, isn't he?"

In the laughter of the crowd, David Letterman also nodded: "no one disagrees with this."

"What's more, Li is still a very outstanding dancer. If it wasn't for this film, she would have appeared on the stage of Guofeng Art Troupe we just saw. At first, I wanted to find a girl who knows Kung Fu, but it's not easy. Her appearance, physical fitness and acting skills all need to be satisfied. Li has the basic skills of dance, and dance and Kung Fu are interlinked to a great extent. She is also very savvy about performance. In addition to the kung fu training before shooting, she can meet the requirements of the role. "

"It doesn't sound easy. Now, the film is coming. Before the audience sees the film, Mr. director, can you comment on Li's performance in the film first?"

"There is only one word for evaluation, amazing! Li not only has talent, but also works very hard. Through this cooperation, I believe she will become a very good actress in the future. "

Each issue of "David Letterman late night show" lasted one hour, and the crew of "Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon" got 20 minutes this time, which took about an hour to complete the recording.

It's five thirty in the afternoon.

At the end of the recording, everyone left the studio together. A middle-level member of gaomen film company, who was responsible for coordinating the publicity of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon, talked with everyone about the premiere ceremony tomorrow afternoon. After saying goodbye to each other, they left each other.

Mr. Yu came up with two entourage, and Jeremy Zhao, who was arranged to act as Li Youhu's agent. Because he knew Li Youhu's background, although he didn't take her as his career focus, he devoted himself to his work and stayed in New York to plan for Li Youhu these days.

He personally handed Li Youhu a bottle of water. Mr. Yu and others gathered her around the center and walked out together. He asked, "how are things going

Li Youhu drank water, just went to the elevator, looked at the next one has been nodding down, whispered to teacher Yu: "that, you notice, Yang Gang's face is not very good."

What Li Youhu said is another female owner of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon, the original Michelle Yang.

Teacher Yu didn't know why, but he nodded slightly and lowered his voice: "what's the matter?"

Li Youhu was a little proud, but he tried not to make himself look like a villain. He said: "just recorded, the attention is basically on director Li, Fage and me. The time given to her is the shortest. I think that after cutting out, the lens will be less."

Then the elevator came.

Everyone entered the elevator together. Mr. Yu glanced at the agent on the other side and said, "it should be arranged by him."

[Reading welfare] give you a red envelope! Pay attention to the VX public and get it!

"Sure," Li Youhu said, looking at his agent: "Jerry, that, Michelle, has she signed with wma?"

Jeremy Zhao is not a talkative person. Just now he got a general idea. When Li Youhu asked him, he took the initiative and said, "no, actually, I have inquired in private that Miss Yang is 35 years old this year. As a kung fu star, she is a little old, so it's hard to have a big development in Hollywood. But you, Li, if crouching tiger, Hidden Dragon box office is good, you'd better take the opportunity to pick up a few more movies and make a name for yourself. "

Understand Li Youhu's background, the agent so words with instigation, obviously have their own careful thinking.With her back to westero, as long as Li Youhu thinks about it, this girl will not lack opportunities, and even her Asian identity will not be a big obstacle. If she can become famous, she will have another famous man in her hand, and the most direct benefit is that she can earn more commission.

Li Youhu is not too eager, just smile, a party came downstairs, goodbye again.

After dinner with a group of friends of Guofeng Art Troupe who just returned to North America after their European tour last week, they went back to their residence in the upper west side. Six or seven girls who had good relations with Li Youhu, such as Wei Shencha, Gu Yaotiao and Ouyang Suli, had arrived. Chen Xingwei was also among them. The two girls had been arranged as a couple at the beginning, at least on the surface, they were very harmonious.

In a single family villa on 90th street, upper west side.

The waiters are responsible for preparing dinner, and a group of delicate girls sit, lie or lie down in a living room of the villa, chatting about the latest situation.

"Tired, of course, is tired, but it's also full," Gu Yaotiao said, holding a glass of orange juice, sitting cross legged on the sofa with one hand. "You don't know, in Rome, we were very popular. Every day there were a lot of people blocking the back door of the theater, and then a lot of police were called to maintain order."

Ouyang Shuli interjected: "yes, there are people who pursue different things, a handsome young man who chases all the way from England to Rome. Alas, who let the uneven "Jianjia" solo dance so beautiful

Wei Shencha, who didn't get the sofa seat, could only sit on the carpet and was looking through a fashion magazine, immediately interrupted: "don't talk nonsense, where is it?"

"It seems that he still has a lot of money to send a bunch of roses," Chen Xingwei said. "Of course, we can't see the difference."

"No matter how rich we are, we can't match our boss."

"I'm angry if you talk nonsense any more."

After everyone had a good laugh, Ouyang Shuli looked at Li Youhu again: "by the way, you have a fox. We've discussed that movie. We'll buy tickets to help you in a few days."

Li Youhu said immediately: "it's better not to, just like cheating."

"How is cheating? We want to see this movie too."

Li Youhu thought about it and said, "if you really want to see it, why don't you attend the premiere tomorrow?"

"Premiere, can I get tickets?"

"I'll call later and ask. It should be OK. We're not big movies like" Independence Day ", but no fans come to grab tickets."

Ouyang Shuli looked contemptuous: "Tut, I'm so pitiful. We can't make a movie yet."

"Then you go and talk to the boss, and he will certainly agree."

"Well, the last time we saw our boss was in China. It's been more than two months."

"Tut Tut, it sounds like a lady in the deep palace."

Ouyang Shuli slightly twisted his slender and soft body, and finally leaned on Su Fengnian's body, with a look of resentment: "originally, we are all deep palace women..."

Su Fengnian opened the top of Ouyang millet with a small ending: "go, just be a complaining woman yourself. Don't pull us."

"Well," Li Youhu said, "what are you doing recently?"

"Take a break," Ouyang Shuli said, "by the way, over there in China, the Spring Festival Gala has invited us to participate in this year's program. We chose the one named" picking Wei. "

Li Youhu listened to Ouyang Shuli's obvious words: "and then?"

"I've been touring for more than half a year. I'm very tired. I've heard that the Spring Festival gala will be rehearsed for several months. In fact, we don't really want to go."

Li Youhu subconsciously said, "that's the Spring Festival Gala."

After that, he reacted again.

If you are still a member of the former Oriental Song and dance troupe, it will be a great honor to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

Now, it really doesn't matter.

After all, we have to be busy for several months and rehearse repeatedly, but we still can't make any money. As for becoming famous with the Spring Festival Gala, the girls of Guofeng art troupe are already very famous and world-class.

Thinking about this, Li Youhu asked again, "what's the matter?"

Ouyang Shuli said: "the boss agreed for us. What else can we do? However, we can go directly to the final rehearsal without screening, and we are already very familiar with that dance. We can finish it with eyes closed, which is certainly much easier than other program groups. "

Wei Shencha suddenly said: "in fact, the boss is also for everyone's good. If you can show your face at the Spring Festival Gala, it will be useful in the future."

This made the atmosphere in the living room a little sluggish.

Girls can't help thinking about the future.

At the beginning, we all signed a five-year contract. Although it has only been more than a year, as long as a little sensible girl knows, the current life can not last forever.

In this way, we look at Li Youhu's eyes with a little envy.

Li Youhu now has a place.

Even if they can renew their contracts once, twice or three times in the future, they will leave in the future.Unknowingly, they have been used to the life like a princess, and it's hard for girls to imagine how to live without them in the future.

Staring at by a group of eyes, Li Youhu quickly understood everyone's thoughts, subconsciously transferred the contradiction, and looked at Wei stagger: "since you think it's useful, why don't you perform for everyone, and talk to the boss, he will certainly agree, and the Spring Festival Gala should also accept the replacement of" picking Wei "with" Jianjia "

"I'm very busy. I have my own business," Wei said

Li Youhu doubts: "hmm?"

Gu Yaotiao helped to find out the answer: "I'm practicing sword dance recently. My boss wrote a song in China two months ago, which should be accompanied by dance."

"The human society?"

"It's another song. It's also very nice. The style is similar. The boss said, well, it's all Chinese style, but this one is about Yu Ji. The boss also said that it's all Chinese style to make an album in the future. "

"What, Ji?"

"Farewell my concubine, the concubine."

"Oh," said Li Youhu, "sing it to me?"

Gu Yaotiao shook his head: "I can't sing well. If you ask me to come, she can do anything."

"I can't sing well either," Wei Shencha refused, adding: "the songs are recorded by the twelve hairpins. You know, they are not only good at musical instruments, but most of them have learned vocal music and opera. They sing well. Let's feel that it's a waste to sing along with them. You can go to long island after you finish this part."

Li Youhu is even more curious when he hears that.

Unfortunately, after Wei's refusal, the girls formed a tacit understanding and kept her secret. They didn't even want to hum, so they had to give up.

At the end of the evening dinner, all the girls stayed. The villa was very spacious, with more than six or seven girls.

Early the next morning, Li Youhu was busy with the premiere of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon.

To be exact, it was premiered in Cannes in May. This time, it should be the North American premiere. The venue is a flagship cinema affiliated to danelis Entertainment's Oden cinema in the middle of Broadway.

It took more than two hours to discuss the process of photographing and interviewing, to wear dress and jewelry, and even to make up in the afternoon. Until more than five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Youhu arrived at his destination in a limousine and joined other creators of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon.

Even if it's just a low-cost film with a $15 million investment, the premiere of Crouching Tiger, hidden dragon is just as lively.

In addition to the main creators of all the films present, Jack Cheng and jet Lee, the two most famous Chinese movie stars in Hollywood, came here specially to support the show. In addition, a series of filmmakers of different sizes, such as Martin Scorsese and Robert De Niro, from New York, were also among the stars.

After last night's communication, a group of girls from Guofeng Art Troupe also got tickets. After all, they were a hot entertainment spot in the past half a year. They were also temporarily arranged to walk away from the red carpet. Even without Li Youhu's expensive custom-made CK dress, they just attracted reporters by virtue of their beautiful appearance and the name of "Guofeng Art Troupe" Don't grudge the dense flash of film.

Six o'clock.

The premiere starts on time.

After all, it's the second premiere, and the core of it is still for publicity. Therefore, the flagship cinema of Oden cinema, which is used for film screening, has a 300 person hall. Only reporters from all over North America invited more than 100 people, and the expenses are very expensive.

Of course, compared with TV advertising, the publicity strategy of the premiere ceremony plus the full bloom of the media is very cost-effective.

The problem is that ordinary second - and third tier film companies can't bring in more than 100 media if they want to do the same. This also reflects once again the inside information of big studios, or more accurately the inside information of Denise entertainment at this time, because even the other seven big Hollywood studios, if it's just a small film with an investment of 15 million yuan, can't easily get together so many reporters.

In the projection hall.

The creators had a simple interaction with the guests, and the movie began soon.

Unlike the French subtitles on the Chinese soundtrack at the premiere in Cannes, the English dubbing version was played this time.

I can't help it. North American audiences are famous for not watching subtitles.

The elaborate dubbing version is also the foundation of danielis entertainment.

In recent years, the introduction of foreign language films has been successful. One of the reasons is that Denise entertainment has made great efforts in dubbing. The company has a high-quality translation and dubbing department responsible for this part of the work. Compared with other companies, especially those small film companies, because of their lack of dubbing strength, they often screw up a very excellent film overseas.

On the big screen, behind the brand title, a picture of Oriental martial arts slowly opens.
