Chapter 2046 Meeting the Idol

"Dare you ask me when there has been any scandal? I go to Hollywood all for work, for work, okay?"

"Well, I'm using my job to support my own interests," Huang Jingping said with a smile, "But it doesn't matter. When it comes time to ask a celebrity to endorse me, I will definitely look for Tom Cruise."

"Humph, he is very short," Feng Yiping said.

"What about Leonardo?"

"He..." Feng Yiping was at a loss for words for a while. The little Li Zi he was talking about was not the sloppy uncle who later let himself go in the name of acting. At the end of last year, he starred in Howard Hughes's biopic "The Aviator". It was released at the time when the appearance was at its peak.

To say that Leonardo DiCaprio plays Howard Hughes is truly worthy of the name. Hughes is not only an aeronaut - he has flown around the world many times; part of his Hughes Aircraft Company was acquired by McDonnell Douglas, and the other part was acquired by Raytheon. ; He himself is also the majority shareholder of TWA.

He was the biggest playboy in Hollywood in the middle of the last century. After he broke up with the American national treasure actress Katherine Hepburn, it was said that there were only a handful of first-line female stars in Hollywood at that time - probably only one or two that he had not taken advantage of.

This is even better than that of Leonardo DiCaprio. Although the supermodels that DiCaprio handles are the goddesses in many people's dreams, the supermodels are naturally not as good as the top female stars in Hollywood.

Feeling this, in the face of Huang Jingping's provocation, Feng Yiping finally had to say angrily and richly, "He doesn't have as much money as me."

Even though they are both playboys, why is Hughes more awesome than Leonardo DiCaprio? In addition to being equally handsome, the key is that he is also richer.

"Hehehe," seeing Feng Yiping a little anxious, Huang Jingping kissed him on the face, "You are more handsome than him,"

Feng Yiping is very aware of the gold content of these words, just like when he sometimes praised Huang Jingping, "You are more beautiful than Michelle Reis, and you are sexier than Qiu Shuzhen."

However, it still sounds quite comfortable, "Hey, you stated this fact well." - He has always been able to be thick-skinned.

"Remember, don't work too hard, otherwise my boss, who is both handsome and rich, will fire you and let you go home to take care of your children."

…………

"When you return to China this time, you may stay for a long time. If you and your son miss me, or if I haven't been to the United States for more than two months, you must take advantage of the holiday to bring him to see me."

In the NEXTDOOR park, Feng Yiping warned Ma Ling.

"Okay," Ma Ling nodded.

Maybe it's because she loves Wujiwu, or maybe it's because she has been to many places in China and truly discovered the beauty of China. She still yearns for China.

"In the meantime, if my parents agree, I may take them, along with Jingping, to Tuscany for a vacation,"

Feng Yiping felt that it was better to take the initiative to say these things first.

"Understood," Ma Ling nodded.

She didn't have any opinion on this point, but she had a small question, where is Zhang?

However, it is better not to ask such a question.

Feng Yiping thought she had some minor objections, "Why don't you discuss with John and the others, when will you and them take Annie with you and find a place for vacation? If you can take me with you, then take me with you."

"How could I not take you with me?" Ma Ling smiled and kissed him, "I said, are you acting coquettishly?"

Hey, don’t think that acting like a baby is a special skill for women. At times like this, on such a somewhat sensitive issue, if a pure man acts like a baby, the effect is actually very good.

"When it comes to work, it's better not to work too hard. Don't let Vincent not only not be able to see me, but also not be able to see you,"

"Um,"

"Also, no matter how busy you are, you can't forget about cosmetics, skin care, and exercise. You have to know that you represent us and often come into contact with Hollywood. I hope you can always be more beautiful than those women in Hollywood. star,"

"Huh? Have I changed recently? Is my skin bad or have wrinkles? Or am I gaining weight?"

…………

At the Norman Mineta Airport in San Jose, when she saw Feng Yiping walking alone with only Wu Qian behind him, Page put away his computer and asked, "Huang didn't come to see you off?"

"Yes, there happened to be something going on in the restaurant. Besides, she will have to return to China soon,"

"I think it's not for other reasons, but mainly because Feng, you are going to meet the person this time, right?" Brin pointed at him and said, "Haha, am I right?"

"Do you think Feng will care? Have you forgotten what he said from the bottom of his heart in different interviews he accepted?" Page said.

He came over and patted Feng Yiping on the shoulder, "Man, you have to learn a lesson. You can tell us some things, but it's not good to say them in a public interview. Look, trouble is coming now,"

Feng Yiping shook his hand off angrily, these two bad friends!

"Don't you know? Only those who say it in public have no problems. Those who hide it and dare not say it are the real problems."

"So I'm sorry, I can't learn from you two,"

Wu Qian, who consciously walked to the side and sat down, couldn't help but complain to her boss in her heart, "Speaking of Mensao, you can't help but give in, okay?"

Next, a little surprise hit her. This time from Silicon Valley to Los Angeles, she would enjoy the treatment of a special plane. Feng Yiping got on the modified Google One in advance, which was the second-hand one that Page and the others bought. The Boeing 757, his Gulfstream, only serves Wu Qian.

…………

Two hours later, in Los Angeles, it was still a manor on the beach in Malibu. Feng Yiping and the three of them were lying by the infinity pool on the beach in the backyard.

They both had a cocktail on hand, but Page and Brin were drying salted fish directly in the sun. There was a parasol on top of Feng Yiping's lounge chair, which looked a little girly.

"The sunshine in Los Angeles is still comfortable," Page said. "I think our branch here should change its office location."

"Yes, you should look for a building by the sea. Facing such beautiful scenery every day, everyone's work efficiency will definitely be much higher," Brin said. "A day that starts with surfing will definitely be a wonderful, A productive day,”

"You want to find a place like this? I think I just have a suitable recommendation,"

"Hi, Musk," Feng Yiping sat up.

Musk walked over with a smile and said, "Feng,"

"Hi, guys," he hugged Feng Yiping and the other three of them respectively.

He and Page had actually known each other for a long time, but because of Feng Yiping, they had more opportunities to interact with each other. They all appreciated each other's wild ideas, so they now have a good relationship.

"How's the progress of the Rockets?" Page asked.

He is also a straight man, and he is a straight man who wants to change the world. He is very interested in things like rockets.

"There are so many things, but we are still making progress day by day," Musk said. "I just heard that you are looking for a new office location? I know a good place, the iconic building next to Venice Beach. , Telescope Building, you..."

"Feng, the director is here," Wu Qian came over and said.

This forced them to stop the conversation. Over there, a middle-aged man with slightly messy hair and graying hair on the sideburns, who looked a bit older, was wearing a black suit, a white shirt, and no tie. He looked quite elegant. Accompanied by Qi and Hastings, he walked towards this direction.

"Hello, Director Li," Feng Yiping stretched out his hand to him.

This is the first Netflix movie that was finally decided after many choices. Feng Yiping still named it "Lion" by the director of the movie, Ang Lee.

It's not because he doesn't remember the original director, but he thinks that such tender films are exactly what Ang Lee is good at. Feng Yiping has watched too many of his director's "Pushing Hands", "The Wedding Banquet" and "Eat Drink Man and Woman". All over, like it very much.

Given that the story of this movie is closely related to India, Ang Lee has some natural advantages.

He asked Netflix to try to contact him, and it happened that Ang Lee, who had finished filming "Brokeback Mountain" last year, was currently scheduled.

After the initial contact, especially after reading the script of "Lion", Ang Lee immediately said that he would take the job.

During this period, since it was the first film produced by Feng Yiping's company in Hollywood, Palmater also contributed a lot. In accordance with his usual character, he provided a Swedish director named Lese Holstrom, He has profound skills, but due to various reasons, he has not been among the first-line directors in Hollywood, so the fee is relatively low.

Feng Yiping read his information and had already watched "Cider House Rules" directed by him. He was very impressed. Of course, part of the reason was that it contained one of Charlize Theron's most beautiful scenes that he liked (I have seen it) The pro should be impressed).

It should be said that he quite likes this director's style - he doesn't know yet that another movie he also likes, the yet-to-be-released "The Story of Hachiko", will also be directed by this director in the future. .

That said, considering the cost, he was quite shaken.

However, I don’t know if it was for his own sake or because he was very optimistic about this movie. In short, after Palmater expressed his relevant intentions, Ang Lee, who had long been a first-line director in Hollywood, took the initiative to lower his net worth. Now, Feng Yiping naturally had no chance to refuse.

This famous Chinese director seemed a little shy, "Hello, Mr. Feng,"

"No, just call me Yi Ping. I'm very honored to have the opportunity to cooperate with you."

"I'm also very happy to have such a good opportunity," said Ang Lee.

"Let me introduce to you, the two founders of Google, Page and Brin, the director, these two are our biggest sponsors," Feng Yiping said with a smile.

Indeed, with Feng Yiping’s lobbying, Google finally agreed to pay for the perfect ad placement in the movie.

The fee paid is one-third of the production cost.

Therefore, it can also be said that before the production of this movie started, Feng Yiping may have set a record: the highest amount of single product placement in history.

"Director, I loved your movie Sense and Sensibility," Page said.

"I love that Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon movie," Brin said.

"I prefer Hulk," Musk said.

"Thank you, thank you," it was obvious that Director Li was very happy to be so affirmed by them.

The scene was quite harmonious for a while. Judging from this situation, it seemed that Feng Yiping's choice was well recognized by everyone.

"Hello everyone," someone came again.

They looked back and saw Mallika Sarawat in a black dress and Alison Brie in a white dress standing aside with some restraint.

"Hi, Saravat," Brin, who had met Mallika several times, greeted her proactively.

"Director, this is just our suggestion. Whether it's suitable or not is entirely up to you," Feng Yiping whispered in Li An's ear.

The two of them came here as candidates for the protagonist's mother and girlfriend.

"This is not polite, really, which actor is the most suitable, your opinion is the most professional and authoritative," Feng Yiping emphasized.

Li An turned around and looked at him seriously, "Thank you for your support,"

He didn’t know whether Feng Yiping asked Netflix to contact him in the first place out of recognition for himself or because they all had the same roots. At least from now on, this young compatriot is indeed very good and very professional. .

It was very consistent with the Feng Yiping in the reports he had seen.

With the addition of two beauties, the atmosphere became even more lively. "Feng," Marika greeted everyone and immediately came to Feng Yiping's side. Before she could speak, someone else came.

This is also a candidate that Ang Lee clearly agreed to. The actor who plays the protagonist’s Australian adoptive mother is also one of his favorite female stars, Nicole Kidman, whom Feng Yiping has repeatedly mentioned in relevant interviews.

"Hi," she held up her skirt and waved to everyone from afar.

Page and Brin both looked at Feng Yiping with a playful smile.
