Chapter 151

After walking into the hall, Wu Yuchen found that the whole venue was messy. Many stars were looking for their seats, and the waiters were not enough, which made Wu Yuchen feel a bit like coming to a vegetable market.

The seats in the hall were mainly divided into three blocks; the central block was reserved for the nominated crew and nominated personnel; after all, they were the protagonists tonight, and Wu Yuchen found a seat on the side to sit down.

Just as Wu Yuchen sat down, the woman beside him who was originally facing away from him turned her head, and after seeing him, first showed a very surprised expression, and then immediately smiled and took the initiative to greet him:

"Hello, Wu Dao, nice to meet you!" The woman's voice was slightly hoarse, but it carried a mature and charming charm.

Wu Yuchen looked over and saw her long, black, handsome hair hanging down from her fragrant shoulders, thick eyebrows and red lips, and the sculptural facial contours and deep light blue eyes had a classical beauty, completely different from the sweet big girls in America.

At the same time, the good figure that couldn't be wrapped by the black gown, barely covering half the chest, was simply about to burst out, making Wu Yuchen's eyes a bit dizzy.

"Hello, Miss Connelly! Wow, meeting you is really a surprise; I will never forget your Deborah in 'Once Upon a Time in America'! Simply the most beautiful girl in the world!"

The person in front of him was Jennifer Connelly, who played the young female lead in "Once Upon a Time in America"; her debut at that time was truly stunning to the whole world.

"Of course, you are also just as charming now~" Wu Yuchen immediately added another sentence.

In fact, Jennifer Connelly didn't like others mentioning young Deborah in "Once Upon a Time in America," because people only remembered this character, making her seem forever trapped in that character.

In order to transform and get rid of the pure jade girl image and prove her acting skills, she began to film various large-scale movies at the age of 19, and her good figure really contributed quite a few benefits to the fans. It's just a pity that she got stuck in this kind of B-grade art film and couldn't get out; it wasn't until now at 27 that she slowly began to wake up and wanted to move closer to the mainstream again.

Another thing to mention, this girl is a top student in the entertainment industry; she studied at Yale for two years in her freshman and sophomore years, and transferred to Stanford to study drama in her junior year. It's just a pity that the top student persona is useless in Hollywood; until now, when people mention her, they still can't get around "Once Upon a Time in America."

For Wu Yuchen, a newly promoted first-line director in Hollywood who had launched two blockbuster films in succession, Jennifer Connelly naturally had the heart to make friends, and she smiled sweetly:

"Thank you! Wu Dao, I think you can call me Jenny; my friends all call me that~"

"Okay, Jenny, you can call me Wu."

Wu Yuchen looked at Jennifer Connelly with a smile; she was truly an angel face and devil figure, the ceiling of both pure and sexy.

"Wu, I thought you would go over there to talk and laugh with big directors like Martin Scorsese."

Wu Yuchen looked in the direction Jennifer Connelly said, and sure enough, he saw an area where quite a few big names like Schwarzenegger were sitting.

Wu Yuchen shook his head gently and smiled:

"No no, Jenny, I think my current position is the best position; being able to spend the night with such a beautiful lady like you is simply God's gift!"

In foreign countries, everyone is very straightforward; don't play that subtle set of domestic ones; Wu Yuchen naturally mastered the essence after staying here for a while.

Jennifer Connelly and Wu Yuchen looked at each other for two seconds, then curled their lips and smiled back: "Wu, you are really a handsome gentleman!"

For the favor expressed by Wu Yuchen, a young, handsome, and talented big director, Jennifer Connelly wasn't disgusted; didn't this just prove her charm?

Amidst the chatting and laughing of the two, this year's Oscar awards ceremony also opened its curtain.

There were no big surprises in this year's Oscar awards ceremony; "Titanic" basically won all the nominated awards, except for Best Supporting Actress; many people thought this award would be given to the old lady who played the elderly female lead, but it wasn't given.

In the middle, he also saw Matt Damon go on stage to receive the Best Screenplay award for "Good Will Hunting"; that's right, this movie was written by Matt Damon when he was taking classes at Harvard University, and he was also shortlisted for the Best Actor nomination; this time it could be called a blockbuster.

After the award presenter handed the Best Director Oscar to the truck driver, this guy was obviously very excited; from being despised by the whole world to counterattacking all the way in the box office, he had now become the world's number one, and he won Best Director on his first Oscar nomination:

"I don't know about you, but I'm feeling great right now!"

There was a burst of laughter from the audience.

"……

I can't accurately express to you how I feel right now, my heart is about to explode

——"

Then Cameron opened his arms wide and shouted loudly:

"I am the king of the world!"

Suddenly, the whole audience was filled with thunderous applause and cheers; at this moment, no one could not admire this guy.

Wu Yuchen also applauded to show his respect; this time "Titanic" had also brought his "Phone Booth" to fly, so he must express his gratitude. At the same time, he felt that being able to witness this famous scene, tonight was not in vain.

Subsequently, he glanced at the beautiful and moving Jennifer Connelly beside him who was already chatting happily with him; tonight was naturally not in vain, simply super value!

……

Although the Oscar awards ceremony had ended, the Oscar night had just begun; later, the "Vanity Fair" party would be held in Beverly Hills; this was not only a celebration place for award winners and crews, but also a place for everyone to socialize, and many opportunities might be born here.

With Wu Yuchen's current fame, even if he had nothing to do with this year's Oscars, he would be a hot commodity once he went there, and being surrounded by beauties wouldn't be a problem at all.

But Wu Yuchen didn't go at all; with Jennifer Connelly, what else did he need to be surrounded by beauties?

Wu Yuchen didn't take those third- or fourth-rate flashy powder to heart at all.

And although social occasions like "Vanity Fair" were important to others, they weren't very critical to Wu Yuchen. As long as you are strong enough, there are plenty of social opportunities, but he didn't want to miss the atmosphere he had finally warmed up with the big beauty!

In this era, a trend of thinness as beauty has been brought up by the fashion industry globally, and many models are even skinny, while Jennifer Connelly's good figure with a protruding front and a protruding back seemed a bit "fat," which was also one of the factors hindering her career.

But Wu Yuchen just happened to like her kind of "slightly fat," plump posture, concave and convex curves, which added a bit of maturity and charm to her, beautiful to the point that people couldn't look away, and he measured her inch by inch.

Jennifer Connelly's facial features were very exquisite; her eyes were big and bright, and the blue pupils burned with heat that could melt people; every inch of her curvaceous figure was writing the word "I am a woman," and her fair and delicate skin made Wu Yuchen reluctant to let go.

In the dim room, the wind and rain in the house temporarily stopped, and Jennifer, who had an attractive curve, was lying limp under the strong body; the fine sweat beads and the long breathing that sounded from time to time were all showing the aftertaste after passion. A moment later, she curled her plump thighs, slightly calmed her breathing, and then looked at the man sideways with beautiful eyes full of charm, and couldn't help asking:

"Did you take medicine? Or are Easterners all this strong?"

"Take medicine? Do I need that kind of thing? Jennifer, you are insulting me!"

Wu Yuchen raised his eyebrows, hugged her waist with one hand, and felt it was necessary to give this big foreign horse who questioned him an unforgettable lesson.

"Oh~ don't, dear..." Jennifer felt Wu Yuchen's anger and hurriedly pushed his chest, but before she finished speaking, her lips were blocked by Wu Yuchen.

……

At noon, Wu Yuchen brought a few plates of food from the waiter outside and put them on the table; Jennifer, who was wearing a white shirt on her upper body, walked over, half-covered and half-hidden, plus the lazy style emanating from the inside out, which was extremely tempting.

Wu Yuchen couldn't help but sigh in his heart; Hollywood is really a good place; he doesn't even want to leave now.

Wu Yuchen naturally understood the thoughts of this big beauty; 99% was surrendering to his personal charm, but wasn't there 1% for the sake of getting ahead?

He, Wu Dao, is not a person who pulls out and is ruthless, so naturally, he will give her a chance to get ahead.

"Jenny, do you have any arrangements for the follow-up?"

Upon hearing this, Jennifer Connelly's heart moved: "Not yet for the time being."

She, the big beauty Jenny, wasn't without people chasing her; in the past, there were naturally big shots who had expressed their willingness to trade with her, but they were either old men or dead fat pigs like Harvey Weinstein, which she couldn't accept. But the young and handsome Wu Yuchen was naturally different, and they enjoyed each other's company.

"My next Hollywood work, are you interested in the female lead?"

"Wow, Wu, are you serious? No audition needed?"

Wu Yuchen laughed and hugged her waist: "Of course it's needed, I still want to have a more detailed understanding of you~"

Jennifer giggled and glanced at him with all kinds of charm: "I have to see if this character is suitable first~"

Not long after, Wu Yuchen handed over a script, and Jennifer took it and looked at it: "The Sixth Sense."

Wu Yuchen didn't disturb her and let her read it slowly.

As early as '96, he had people register 3 scripts in Hollywood, two of which had already been filmed, and this third one was "The Sixth Sense."

This movie was released in '99 in the previous life, with a shooting cost of only 40 million, and the final North American box office was 294 million, and the global box office was 673 million. This was an astonishing result that no one could predict at all, because this was just a horror film, even if the male lead was the big star Bruce Willis.

Speaking of which, the experience of its director Shyamalan is simply a novel plot; a newcomer director in Hollywood, and an Indian descent, who had only filmed a small-budget movie with a box office of less than one million before, wrote a script in '97 that was favored by a Hollywood company, and then filmed a horror-themed movie and directly took 673 million in box office globally; if this thing didn't happen in the real world, even web novels wouldn't dare to write it like this.

But now, the script had long been registered by Wu Yuchen, so naturally, it could only wait for him to develop it.

He didn't just register these three scripts; in the time he stayed in Hollywood for these two years, he had successively registered no less than ten scripts; regardless of whether he filmed them or not, he occupied the pit first.

After a while, Jennifer finished reading and praised: "Wu, this is really a good story! Do you want me to play the mother character?"

"Yes, dear, haven't you always wanted to transform? You are fully capable of this character. Don't look at it as a horror theme; I guarantee you the box office of the movie will be over 100 million."

"I naturally believe your words, Wu, I have deep conviction in your talent! Dear, when do you plan to film?" Jennifer Connelly asked a bit impatiently.

Wu Yuchen rubbed her shoulders gently:

"Oh, Jenny, don't worry, I plan to film at the end of the year; the season of the story is winter. Before this, I have to go back to the country for a period of time, and you also have time to carefully ponder this character."

"Okay, Wu, I really can't bear to part with you~" The big beauty said and hugged Wu Yuchen's neck with both arms, sticking to him.

……

For Wu Yuchen, Hollywood is like a dreamy, gorgeous amusement park, but no matter how happy you play in the amusement park, you have to go home, right?

Beijing Film Studio, Han Sanping had someone pour tea for Wu Yuchen and then said with a smile:

"Wu Dao, haven't seen you for more than a month, this time you have made a big splash in Hollywood again! Now the newspapers are all full of your news!"

Han Sanping said while shaking the newspaper in his hand and handing it to Wu Yuchen.

Wu Yuchen took it and scanned it a few times:

"Wu Wu Da Dao Yuchen's new movie North American box office exceeds 1.3 billion, dominating America!"

1.3 billion?

After seeing this number, Wu Yuchen immediately understood; this newspaper had converted it into Chinese currency for him; calculated according to the current exchange rate of 8.28, it was indeed that much. 1.3 billion was undoubtedly more eye-catching than 160 million, and they didn't lie either.

Wu Yuchen shook his head and smiled, then said to Han Sanping:

"It's a bit exaggerated; although the box office of this movie is not bad, I dare not say it dominates America. Factory Manager Han, you probably also know the news of the Oscars; recently, the only one that can be said to dominate is 'Titanic'."

Speaking of this, Han Sanping smiled again: "Wu Dao, you don't know, now there are quite a few promotions for 'Titanic' in our country that still hang your name!"

"My name?" Wu Yuchen asked in surprise.

"Yes, that male lead of theirs, Leonardo, next to it is remarked as your designated male lead! This year's import quota is used up, and your new movie 'Phone Booth' can't come in for a short time, so everyone is curious, and now they are using your name to attract the audience into the cinema!"

After listening to Han Sanping's explanation, Wu Yuchen suddenly had a feeling of wanting to cry but not being able to.

Good guy, in America, he was riding on Leo's popularity, and he was riding on "Titanic," but now that he arrived in China, it was reversed; it became Leo and "Titanic" riding on his name!

Is this a good cycle of cause and effect?

However, Wu Yuchen didn't care about this; it is said that if there is borrowing and returning, borrowing again is not difficult. This wave of his big Wu Dao's name can be ridden by "Titanic" as much as it wants! That's how generous he is!

Wu Yuchen waved his hand and then said to Han Sanping with a slightly serious face: "Factory Manager Han, I think you'd better have some psychological preparation."

"What?" Han Sanping asked curiously.

"The movie 'Titanic' not only broke the American box office record, but the global box office records have also been brushed all over; I don't think our China will be an exception, it can't be kept."

This Han Sanping undoubtedly has ambitions; he not only hopes to climb up, but also hopes that Chinese film can develop under his leadership. The words at the celebration banquet of "My Brothers and Sisters" earlier could show his thoughts.

But Wu Yuchen knew very well that "Titanic" would create a box office record of 360 million next, like a big mountain pressing on the head of Chinese film for ten years; the closest one was Lao Mouzi's "Hero" at 250 million. The one that finally broke it was the foreign film "Transformers 2" at 455 million, but not long after, it was brushed to 1.383 billion by the truck driver with "Avatar."

Unexpectedly, Han Sanping laughed after listening:

"Hi, Wu Dao, I thought you were talking about what; if it's broken, it's broken; we'll just break it back. 'The Lost World: Jurassic Park' was so powerful, wasn't it still suppressed by you in the end?"

"With you, little brother Wu, as a big director, I have great confidence in regaining the box office record!"

Wu Yuchen didn't expect that it was he who gave Han Sanping confidence; he couldn't help but open his mouth, wanting to say that this record was not one hundred million or two hundred million, but 360 million! Even he himself didn't have much confidence in breaking it in a short time, because this was indeed not something that could be made up for by the cast and plot, but the visible gap in film production level.

But forget it, after the movie is released, they will know after watching it themselves.

Subsequently, Han Sanping said again: "Wu Dao, that new movie of yours, I don't mean the Hollywood one, it's 'The Classic,' when do you plan to release it?"

"Oh, Factory Manager Han, I came to find you just to talk about this; I plan to release this movie in the summer season."

This was planned when Wu Yuchen was filming; "Titanic" would be released in April, although it was said to ride the love trend of "Titanic" to eat dividends, it must not be released in the same period as the big ship, otherwise he really wouldn't know how he died.

By the summer season in July, 3 months had passed, and the most fierce momentum of the big ship had passed, so taking "The Classic" out to take over was just right.

Han Sanping didn't doubt it; the summer season itself was the best schedule, and subsequently, he sighed:

"Our Beijing Film Studio didn't participate in the investment for this movie, it's really a pity!"

When "The Classic" was being prepared and filmed, "My Brothers and Sisters" hadn't been released yet, so the Beijing Film Studio didn't participate in the investment at that time; after all, the factory's funds were tight, and they just let Wu Yuchen hang the brand.

Now Han Sanping regretted it very much; in the past half a year, Wu Yuchen not only brushed the domestic box office champion, but also ravaged Hollywood, wantonly harvesting US dollars, truly proving how popular his films were in the market.

Wu Yuchen smiled: "It's okay, Factory Manager Han, didn't I just bring a new project?"
