--Remember!
As a Chinese, Mr. Jackie on the side was filled with emotions. At this time, he also raised his tea cup and said: "Haha, I'm here too. To say the truth, thank you Director Cameron. --/"
Cameron was flattered and waved his hands: "No, no, no, I should be the one to thank Mr. Luo for showing such great love to me. Without Mr. Luo's generous investment, to put it bluntly, there would be no "Avatar" today." "."
Will Smith on the side saw this scene and felt very interesting.
After a while, he smiled cheerfully and said: "Mr. Luo, I think Director Cameron is right. Without your help, Avatar would not be able to finish work so early. So... you, the Rock Group, are also indispensable. If Avatar is a newborn baby, then the mother who gave birth to him was Hollywood and Director Cameron, and the father who helped him grow up was you, Mr. Law."
Ahem, this metaphor...
It's really quite good.
However, although Lorraine has a strong heart that can constantly accept new things, she still cannot accept certain things in this open country.
for example…
Gays are rampant here.
And it has reached the point of rampant behavior. Lorraine does not discriminate against gays.
But some American humorous gay jokes made him a little uncomfortable.
For example, when Will Smith said, "The parents of a newborn baby," Cameron is the mother and Lorraine is the father, it sounds awkward.
However, Mr. Jackie continued to look at Lorraine with a smile after hearing these words. Having lived in the United States for a long time, he was obviously used to the humor here, so it didn't matter. He knew that Lorraine would definitely not immediately I was so used to it, so I gave him a look that seemed to say: "Brother Luo... the America you are setting foot on now is different from the country of China. Take your time to experience it. There will be many things in the future that you are not used to. It’s a place.”
… …
The tea Lorraine drank was bought by Cameron at a tea ceremony shop in Chinatown when he knew Lorraine was coming.
However, it is somewhat ironic that this tea ceremony shop in Chinatown was actually opened by a Japanese.
Lorraine still understands this situation quite clearly. There is no way. Today's young people in China are worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners. Of course, a large part of them have been assimilated by this messy world and have been blackened by material things. They have no time to think about it. What a tea ceremony. On the contrary, it is the Japanese people who like to promote some traditional Chinese ancient culture, such as calligraphy and Chinese ink painting. Many young people active in the industry are from Japan.
This is the current situation, and there is no way. Moreover, when it comes to the popularization of tea ceremony, the Japanese country does better than the Chinese country.
From this point on…
Lorraine also saw that the rise of China is not only about the rise of the economy, but also the rise of all aspects. Whether it is entertainment spirit, cultural education, historical inheritance, etc., all aspects must be improved.
After all, Lorraine is an ordinary human being. Perhaps all he can do is to work hard and take one step at a time.
No matter when Huang Tian was in office, Lorraine only knew one thing. The blood of China was always flowing in him.
Therefore, unlike most of the wealthy Chinese who came to the United States, he directly transferred his nationality to the United States when he came here to realize the so-called dream of a great America. But Lorraine will not be like this. As long as the country does not abandon him, he will not change his nationality at any time.
dark night.
New York.
Manhattan.
Above the Statue of Liberty, the searchlight of the air defense was projected and shaking as usual. Under the swagger of the searchlight, a helicopter rotated its wind wheel and landed on the roof of a luxury building.
"Hey James, long time no see."
James and Lorraine got off the helicopter.
This scene is quite luxurious. On the rooftop, there are always some people waiting, including many who look like James Cameron's friends.
They were blond and blue-eyed, and each of them had an obvious business aura on their faces. At a glance, you could tell that they were big shots who had been in the big dye vat of Hollywood all year round, or they were producers or screenwriters.
"Haha, yes, Kanoz."
James Cameron walked forward with a smile, and then shook hands and even hugged these guys who came to "pick him up" one by one.
"This is Mr. Luo from China on the other side of the ocean, a young director of the Luo Group, and one of the important partners and investors of our new drama." James introduced Lorraine to everyone in a very grand manner.
Lorraine also greeted everyone with a very polite smile.
In the process of saying hello, Lorraine and James Cameron, surrounded by people, had slowly walked into the elevator leading to the floor where the dinner was held.
Interestingly, James Cameron took Lorraine alone to take another elevator while taking the elevator.
In the elevator, James Cameron specifically said to Lorraine: "Haha, Mr. Luo, have you seen the faces of those capitalists - although you are also a capitalist, oh, and strictly speaking, I am also a capitalist, but I just do it by the way. It's just for art. But... I really don't like the character of these capitalists. After the filming of my movie started, the budget kept rising. None of these guys who made many promises to me were willing to help me increase the budget. . Later... If it hadn't been for Mr. Luo's sudden appearance, I don't think I would have been able to complete the movie so smoothly. You see, now that my movie has been successfully completed, they have come to please me again and want to use it in future peripherals and other It’s too naive to try to make a fortune from this aspect.”
Lorraine smiled when she heard James Cameron say these words.
He was still very happy about these words. At least, James Cameron valued himself very much when he told him this. Moreover, Lorraine's investment this time was really just right. He just wanted to take a ride, but he didn't expect that he inadvertently saved James Cameron who was "in dire straits."
And looking at James Cameron's current attitude, Lorraine has no doubt that he will tell many friends in the future: "Without Mr. Lorraine's funding, there would be no Avatar movie!"
"Oh, Director Cameron, I think you will still have many good friends in Hollywood, right?" Lorraine said with a smile.
James Cameron said: "Mr. Luo, if you don't mind, please call me James from now on. My friends all call me that, it's much more cordial."
"Well, James, you don't have to call me Mr. Luo, just call me Lorraine."
"Okay, Lorraine." James smiled, then changed his mind and said, "Of course, my interpersonal relationships in Hollywood are quite good. But before working with you, I rarely had much contact with Chinese actors. I rarely have too much contact with Chinese directors. It’s much better now. I find that Chinese people have a kind of temperament, which is very sincere and emotional. You won’t feel this too clearly from the American people.”
Lorraine thought for a while. The so-called "emphasis on emotion" that James said at this time should refer to a feeling of loyalty, right
It’s not necessarily that Americans don’t value emotions, but they value emotions in different ways.
Let’s use the simplest analogy.
The same thing, the same setback, Chinese friends will comfort you like this: "**, buddy, don't be sad anymore, this guy is a bastard enough. If you are really angry, buddy, we will stand up for you. At worst, you can bring someone to beat him up to relieve his anger!"
But the American friends will say; "Oh, my brother, come on, let's hug each other, God is my witness, everything will be over."
Various factors create different personalities and humanistic thoughts.
However, James Cameron has never had much dealings with Chinese people before, which shows... Chinese people, or people of Chinese descent, don't have a good reputation here.
I still have a long time to stay in the United States to develop and develop. I hope that through my own efforts, I can change the way people around the world view Chinese people!
"Lorraine, do you usually like watching movies?"
"Very much."
"Do you like listening to music?"
"certainly."
"Do you like Hollywood movies and English songs?"
"They are all involved."
"Oh, that couldn't be better. Tonight, I will introduce you to many, many friends. I think that even if I don't tell you their names, you will be able to recognize them one by one."
As a Hollywood person, James Cameron showed a proud smile without any concealment at this time.
A sense of good-natured pride and pride.
… …
Ding.
The elevator opens.
Lorraine and James Cameron walked to the dinner venue.
As for Jackie and Will Smith, who were chatting with Lorraine and James in the hotel before, they left early at that time. Jackie said he was going to pick up some "old friends" and told Lorraine that he must recognize them. he.
Lorraine was curious about the "several old friends" that Jackie called her. Just now he had been speculating.
But as soon as he stepped into the banquet venue, he was hit by a starry and powerful aura that made him feel relaxed and happy for a moment.
Although, Lorraine is a big shot in the business world.
But he also grew up from a young man to what he is today.
He also had childhood and youth.
He has always had a soft spot for these Hollywood superstars.
But now, he has actually seen it, and this feeling is naturally self-evident.
more importantly…
So many superstars... all appeared on the same occasion.
Oh, and most importantly...
These Hollywood superstars who had appeared on the big screen countless times and had a deep affection for Lorraine, when Lorraine appeared at the entrance, they all looked over. After a brief silence, a burst of enthusiasm broke out in an instant. Welcome applause!
