Meiyu: No one understands the entertainment industry better than me

"If I, young and promising, do not feel inferior, I will surely have a lot of young models...!"

Night falls, Los Angeles, Walk of Fame.

Chen Shi hummed a tune, reached out and stopped a yellow taxi in the endless traffic.

This chapter comes from ??9

"Hi, Br, to San Gabriel!"

Chen Shi got into the back seat of the taxi and said hello.

At the same time, he quickly rolled down the window to disperse the strong and pungent smell of curry in the car.

Looking back, I found that the car had not moved.

The taxi driver is a bearded Sikh Asan who is staring at the screen of his mobile phone in a daze.

Chen Shi glanced at it: "Br, why are you still interested in watching a movie while driving?"

"Well, it's a series of candid shots of black people!"

From Chen Shi's thirty-year professional perspective, this film was extremely poorly shot.

The lighting is wrong, the composition is wrong, the focus is wrong, the setting, storyboards, emotions, voice actors...everything is wrong!

On the other hand, the troubled Asan couldn't take his eyes off it, his eyes were red, and he shook his head: "hiiMyHme just installed surveillance!!"

Wha? ! !

The painting style was originally ordinary, but suddenly became exciting!

Chen Shi stared at it and said a few words of consolation: "Br, my condolences...! The third sister-in-law has a good figure...she knows a lot!"

"MherFuk...Bih!" Asan yelled, kicked the floor, and the yellow taxi sped out in an instant.

"Br, don't be impulsive!" The strong push on his back made Chen Shi's whole body tense up: "Listen to me, Br, when you can't let it go, someone has already put it in... Put down the foot on the accelerator...!" Before he finished speaking, Chen Shi only heard a loud bang!

……

I am born with talent that must be useful, but I just don’t know how to use it.

The moment he flew out, Chen Shi's mind flashed back to this life like a lantern.

Studying in the United States at his own expense caused a famine. After working in Hollywood for almost thirty years, in the end, nothing was achieved.

I have been a bit player, a screenwriter, a photographer, and a director of bad movies...!

I passed by the leading director James Cameron, met DiCaprio, and got acquainted with Scarlett Janssen...!

As a middle-aged man, it was hard for a domestic short drama to go overseas, but he, a bad film director, had all the wealth and wealth thrown at him.

I have just signed a contract with a domestic employer to direct a series of short dramas such as "The President Falls in Love with Me as a Cleaner in the White House" and "The Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me as I Go Through Menopause".

According to Chen Shi’s intuition, these mindless short dramas will probably not find a market in beautiful universities in China, and will probably be sold out.

But over the years, Chen Shi has learned one thing, and that is - never trust your own intuition!

Reality is always counter-intuitive.

If you don’t think he will be popular, then he will definitely be popular!

The director of the short play is also a director. Although the salary is low, there is a profit sharing agreement.

When people have a happy event, they come out of the signing site, get in a taxi, and go straight to a place that all Chinese know well, San Gabriel, to listen to music.

Who would have thought that when he met the green-turbaned Sikh Asan, he would make the last wrong choice in his life...!

...

"Chen Shi...Chen Shi, wake up!"

Chen Shi felt like someone was pinching himself, woke up in a daze, and looked up at his surroundings even more dazedly.

Opening his eyes, he found that he was in a somewhat familiar scene.

And in front of me, there was a more familiar, beautiful and young face!

My eyes gradually focused, and finally I could see this face clearly. Chen Shi couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Ding Tian?!"

"Ouch...hiss!"

The soft flesh around Chen Shi's waist was pinched hard by the girl again.

"Don't pretend to be weird! I cried while watching such an amazing movie, and you actually fell asleep while watching it...!"

The girl is as beautiful as a flower, and she is so charming even when she wipes her tears.

This familiar expression and tone, this familiar sourness of pinching meat...it's really sweet!

In my memory, the most beautiful, youthful, spicy and irritable girl from Sichuan and Chongqing!

Then am I...reborn? !

Turning around and looking around, the environment in front of me was the same scene more than 20 years ago, when the masterpiece that reached the top of the film history went to his own university, the Southern California Film Institute, for its first roadshow to build momentum before it was officially announced? !

Then it is... 1997!

And this movie is "Titanic"? ! !

As the number one film school in the United States, the influence of the Southern California Film School is unquestionable.

It has not only cultivated a large number of top film talents including George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.

Many of the experts and professors here are regular Oscar judges. More than 90% of the professors have served as Oscar judges.

Moreover, these expert professors are also influential film critics.

With a record investment of more than 200 million US dollars, "Titanic" wants to become a blockbuster and win an Oscar next year. The importance of today's road show is self-evident.

Even Chen Shi himself was lucky enough to participate in this movie.

After synchronizing with his past memories, Chen Shi took a deep breath!

What a wonderful youthful lung capacity and extremely sultry campus air!

"Crash...!"

At the end of the movie, thunderous applause and cheers erupted in the university theater.

Everyone stood up to pay tribute, and many people had tears in their eyes.

Just like Ding Tian, ​​who was crying, she was moved to tears by the short-lived but hot, unswerving love between Little Plum and Roushui.

Amid cheers and applause, the lights gradually turned on, and almost all of the film’s creative team appeared neatly on the stage.

The producers of 20th Century Fox and Paramount Pictures, director James Cameron, the male protagonist DiCaprio, the female protagonist Rousi... the stars are shining, and the talents are all here!

The 23-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio is young, handsome and ruffian, making all the girls scream and go crazy for him.

The 22-year-old silky girl, Kate Winslet, under the spotlight, is white, tender and transparent, plump and graceful, and breathtakingly beautiful.

As for James Cameron, there is no need to say more, right?

"Terminator", "Alien", "True Lies", "Titanic", "Avatar"... As a director and screenwriter, if you can make any of them, you will be among the best in the world.

What’s more, these are all made by one person!

In the past thirty years, he is well-deserved as the greatest director in the world!

After that, the main creative team talked about the two-year filming experience.

As well as audience question and answer session.

Almost everyone paid the highest praise to "Titanic".

Similar to the previous life, in the end, the microphone finally fell into Chen Shi's hands.

He decided to take advantage of this rare opportunity to work hard.

If you want these big names on the stage to remember you, flattery is useless.

In the United States, a land that does not support idlers, it took Chen Yong thirty years to conclude a truth: Only by being able to work hard, find faults, and make troubles can one stand out.

The diligent and honest people, the good old people with unyielding conscience will always be the ones who are exploited the most and live the most miserable lives here.

"Mr. Cameron, I hope you still remember who I am!"

James Cameron, who was in the center of the stage, looked Chen Shi up and down and smiled: "Chen, I remember you! In this movie, you played a guest role as the Chinese who lay on the door panel and was saved in the end!"

"Yes!" Chen Shi replied: "Mr. Cameron, your memory My memory is very good!"

"However, during today's movie viewing, I found with great regret that the scene in which the Chinese were rescued lying on the door panel in the cold water was deleted."

Ding Tian beside him couldn't help but give Chen Shi a rollicking look.

Which eye did you use to find it?

You were dozing almost the whole time... except for the scene where the shredded meat was willing to act as a mannequin, showing off its graceful body without any reservation...!

James Cameron showed a hint of embarrassment: "Yes! It's a pity, but this is a creative need...!"

"Mr. Cameron...!" Chen Shi continued: "In my opinion, there is no doubt that this "Titanic" is definitely an epoch-making masterpiece. A great work!"

"Whether it is artistically or commercially, this movie will definitely achieve great success."

"But...!" Chen Zhen changed his tone: "It is a huge regret that that scene was deleted!"

"I am not sorry for my role, but I am sorry that this movie did not restore the true history!"

"The Chinese crew member named Fang Rongshan who I played was rescued while lying on the door panel. This was a real event that happened in the sinking of the Titanic."

"As far as I know, the female characters in the movie are The inspiration and prototype of the touching scene where the hero was sent to the door and said goodbye in the cold and biting water came from this."

"Mr. Cameron, am I right?"

Cameron's expression became even more embarrassed: "That's true!"

Chen Shi added: "In that special era, in that shipwreck that shocked the world, the Chinese man named Fang Rongshan, along with several other Chinese who were rescued, were completely stigmatized by the British and American media. They were slandered as stowaways, and even slandered as disguised as women, seizing the quota for women and children to be rescued...!"

In fact, in the sinking of the Titanic, six Chinese crew members were rescued.

This tragedy occurred because of a series of inappropriate operations by the British Steamship Company.

The big boss behind this British shipping company is the Morgan family of the United States.

Therefore, the British and American media joined forces to divert public attention and portray the rescued Chinese crew members as villains, in order to highlight the Anglo-Saxon gentlemanly demeanor of giving up the chance of rescue for women and children at the moment of life and death.

After being rescued, the six Chinese were almost thrown back into the cold sea. He was imprisoned in the bilge and arrived in the United States without even receiving proper treatment.

Under the infamous "Chinese Exclusion Act" and the media's clamor, the Chinese who escaped death were transformed from victims into criminals and were immediately deported back to the country...!

Chen Shi fully explained this little-known history in front of hundreds of people.

Finally, he concluded: "Mr. Cameron, in terms of art and business, this movie is undoubtedly an unprecedented achievement!"

"However, it only missed a great opportunity to correct the names and clear up the grievances of those slandered Chinese people."

"The only China in the movie The human footage was so easily deleted."

"I have to say, this is a pity! Morally, this is a huge shortcoming!"

In order to make up for this shortcoming, more than 20 years later, James Cameron supervised the production of a documentary specifically for this purpose.

The name of this documentary is "Six People - Chinese Rescued from Titanic".

It was precisely because of watching this documentary that Chen Shi understood all this clearly.

At this point in time, Chen Shi came up with the most explosive conclusion: "Can I therefore believe that discrimination and unfair treatment against Chinese and other ethnic minorities, at least in Hollywood, still exist today?!"

(Yeah)
