Chapter 245： First person

Zhang Dongcheng opened his mouth, and after a long time looked at Patricia in front of him with a strange look, and said, "What have you been looking at all this time? You shouldn't be mistaken about my sexual orientation, right? Or Say you forgot, what is the relationship between us?"

Seeing Zhang Dongcheng's weird eyes, Patricia blushed and said angrily, "Don't say so much, you and Nicholas really have nothing to do?" In the last sentence, Patricia's eyes were full of suspicion look.

I don't even have the idea of ​​explanation. Being misunderstood that he is glass, and being misunderstood by his own woman.

Zhang Dongcheng embraced Patricia without any explanation, and instantly kissed her crystal-like red lips. Sometimes direct action works better than words of explanation.

Sure enough, Patricia was startled by Zhang Dongcheng's sudden movement, her body stiffened for a moment, and then quickly eased down. Holding Zhang Dongcheng's neck with both hands, narrowing his eyes slightly, enjoying Zhang Dongcheng's love.

After a long time, after a blushing French kiss, Zhang Dongcheng looked at Patricia teasingly, and said, "Do you think that kind of relationship still exists between me and Nicholas?"

Being held in Zhang Dongcheng's arms, Patricia's pretty face was flushed, her shortness of breath was slowly eased, and she still panted slightly: "Well, I believe there is nothing between you and Nicholas, but you just now What are you discussing?"

"I can't tell you this!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head. Refuse to answer this question without hesitation.

"Stingy!" Patricia said coquettishly like a child.

Regarding the economic crisis, the fact that Zhang Dongcheng profited from it must not be spread. You know, once this kind of thing gets out, it will cause a devastating blow to his reputation.

It is impossible to say that the screening of films in Southeast Asia will be boycotted in the future. After all, this financial crisis has done too much harm to Southeast Asia.

I don’t know how many companies have closed down, how many rich people have gone bankrupt, and how many families have been separated. To put it seriously, anyone who has made a profit in this economic crisis has distributed the disaster wealth of ordinary people in Southeast Asia.

Think about how people in Asia think of Soros after he created the financial crisis, and you can know how much this kind of thing is hated.

As a public figure, Zhang Dongcheng must not have anything to do with such news. Otherwise, it will be difficult for him to move an inch in Southeast Asia in the future.

Fortunately, not many people know that he has benefited from the financial crisis this time. Even the few who know the news will never go out and talk nonsense. Such as Nicolas Cage and Adaman. The former also made a profit, so how could he talk nonsense? The latter is Zhang Dongcheng's best friend, and it is absolutely impossible to betray him.

"Okay. Don't be unhappy." Zhang Dongcheng comforted Patricia softly.

"That's right!" Patricia seemed to suddenly think of something. With a bit of teasing in his eyes, he said, "Director Smith, now the media and newspapers are going to praise you to the sky! How do you feel?"

Praise God? How do you feel? Zhang Dongcheng was a little confused by Patricia's words, and asked blankly: "What are you talking about? What are you boasting about?"

"You don't know?" Patricia's eyes were full of surprise, obviously Zhang Dongcheng's blankness surprised her a little. You know, the news about the Golden Globe Awards has been buzzing a lot during this period of time. As the director of The Matrix, he has no reason not to know the news, right?

Shaking his head, Zhang Dongcheng replied: "I don't know, you should be clear. Since returning from the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, I have been busy shooting movies in the crew. I didn't pay attention to the outside news at all. !"

With a bit of admiration on her face, Patricia said: "Well, it seems that our Director Smith's current achievements did not depend on the so-called talent or talent. These people only saw your achievements , but didn't see your efforts, just like... what you said before, people envy the thief for being rich, but they didn't see the misery of the thief being caught!"

"I only saw thieves eating meat, but didn't see thieves being beaten!" Zhang Dongcheng explained casually, and he didn't expect Patricia to understand the meaning of this sentence. In fact, when translating Chinese into English, the distortion is too serious.

Especially the translation of Jin Yong's martial arts novels can make people laugh to death. "The Story of the Deer and Cauldron" translated by Oxford University, the literal translation is "the story of a deer and a boiler". Among them, the names of those martial arts are literally translated from English, so it is guaranteed that few people can figure out what they are talking about.

For example, the most famous Yi Jin Jing, changeyourbone, literally translates to: change your bones. Nine women catch a white bone nine women catch a white bone; Taixuan Jing allfool'sdaliy is a diary full of nonsense. Under such circumstances, can you still expect a person who does not understand Chinese to understand the essence of Chinese?

This is entirely the difference between the two cultures. A word in Chinese has different meanings in different environments. It is simply impossible to analyze the essence of Chinese in English.

"OK! OK! Thieves who eat meat and thieves get beaten!" Patricia felt that Chinese was too much of a headache for her. Changing the subject, he said, "I think you haven't read the newspaper for a long time, have you?"

Zhang Dongcheng nodded in astonishment. Since he came back from the Golden Globe awards ceremony, he has devoted himself to filming the film, and from time to time, he has paid attention to the crew of The Matrix 2 in Australia and the crew of Reaper on Long Island. It can be said that I don't hear anything outside the window, and I just want to make movies.

In terms of movie promotion, Zhang Dongcheng seldom cares about it now, especially two of the films currently being filmed. Whether it's Dark Wars or The Matrix 2, the warm-up in the early stage has been done sufficiently. There is no need to worry about this at all. Especially the dark battle, when the news of the filming just came out some time ago, it even caused a heated discussion in the media. Now that the lingering sound is gone, even publicity has little effect.

Besides, in Zhang Dongcheng's view, publicity is important, but what is more important is the quality of the movie, if the quality is not good? Even if the publicity is extravagant, in the end it only tricks the audience into the cinema once, and I guarantee that no one will be fooled next time.

"Yes. I've been busy with work for a while. It's true that I haven't read a newspaper for a long time. What's the matter? Is there any hot news outside?"

"God!" Patricia patted her chest exaggeratedly, looked at Zhang Dongcheng in amazement and said, "Well, Smith, I know you can't be blamed for this, so now I will tell you what happened during this time. Come with me!" Saying that, Patricia walked quickly towards the crew.

Zhang Dongcheng scratched his head and followed.

After arriving at the filming location of the crew, Patricia took out a stack of newspapers from her private car. Handed it to Zhang Dongcheng and said, "Look, this is news related to movie entertainment during this period!"

"Oh?" Zhang Dongcheng was a little surprised, it's only been seven days, right? Are so many newspapers reporting on him? Judging by the thickness of this stack of newspapers, it must be at least two inches.

Looking casually, Zhang Dongcheng finally understood why she said just now that her evaluation in Hollywood was going to break through the sky when she saw the content that Patricia deliberately placed on the top newspaper.

"Smith Zhang who turns his hands into clouds and turns his hands into rain!"

This is a report from a small newspaper that Zhang Dongcheng has never heard of, called "Los Angeles New Star". This exaggerated title is nothing more than to attract more attention. It should be a media company that has just started publishing.

"Smith Zhang, a legend that is being born! Since he founded his own Dongcheng Film Industry, and bought ZDC TV station and Marvel Comics, which has become the childhood memory of generations of Americans, no one doubts that his future will be Yes there is an entertainment tycoon!

At this year's Golden Globe Awards, Smith Zhang undoubtedly created a miracle. The heroine of The Matrix, Michelle Yang successfully won the trophy for Best Actress. She is the first guest ever to be nominated for Best Actress at the Golden Globes and win the award. This undoubtedly created a history!

But all of this was done under the leadership of Smith Zhang. Not only that, but Smith Zhang himself won the trophy for best screenplay. ..."

The article focuses on the news about Michelle Yeoh after the Golden Globe Award was sealed. Except for the news about Zhang Dongcheng mentioned in the title and a small part of the content, all the rest are touting Michelle Yeoh. Even if Zhang Dongcheng read this report by himself, he would have doubts whether Michelle Yeoh asked someone to write this report.

After all, it is a tabloid, and it always has to rely on this grandstanding method to win more readers' attention.

Putting down this newspaper, Zhang Dongcheng opened the next newspaper.

"Chinese-American actress Michelle Yang. After the Golden Globe Award! Be the first Chinese-American woman!" - "Entertainment Weekly"

"The birth of the first Chinese actress at the Golden Globes marks the United States is becoming more and more inclusive!" - "Washington Post"

Speaking of which, Michelle Yeoh is much more popular than Zhang Dongcheng and He. The main reason for this is that at the Golden Globes, she was the first actor of Chinese descent to win the Best Actress.

Although Zhang Dongcheng also won the best screenplay, he is a screenwriter with a lot of water. After all, Wachowski has a lot of credit for it. Creativity crashing is the most disgusting thing. Whether this trophy belongs to Zhang Dongcheng or to the Wachowski brothers is a bit unclear.

Before Michelle Yeoh and Zhang Dongcheng won the award, except for the 51st Golden Globe Awards in 1994, "Farewell My Concubine" won the trophy for the best foreign language film. So far, Chinese Americans have not won the Golden Globes.

Michelle Yeoh's award this time can be said to be unprecedented. It's no wonder that these media will write a lot.

Of course, the award this time is due to Zhang Dongcheng's operation, and also the most fundamental reason why he revised the script to make this vase-like character even more brilliant.
