Chapter 355 Scarlett the Cake Seller

Liam Neeson has a 1.93-meter figure and a calming temperament, but the melancholy and depth between his eyebrows and the occasional meaningful smile at the corner of his mouth obviously hide too much content.

Moreover, his temperament makes him the spokesperson for screen roles such as mentor, kind father and guide. Whether it is the Jedi Knight in the movie "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace", Father Valen in "Gangs of New York", Godfrey in "Kingdom of Heaven", Doctor in "Kinsey Professor of Sexology", Aslan in "The Chronicles of Narnia", they all shoulder the responsibility of inspiring young protagonists.

This time Liam Neeson also plays a similar role in "Batman Begins", but the difference is that although he is Bruce Wayne's mentor, he plays the League of Shadows and is the final boss in this film. His philosophy has always been to eliminate corruption and evil by secretly creating various terrorist activities, so he wants to destroy Gotham and a large terrorist incident, but was eventually stopped by Batman.

"Yes! Very good, Liam!"

Just now, Wu Yuchen filmed the scene where Batman and his "resurrected" mentor meet again. Liam Neeson and Bale did a great job.

For Wu Yuchen, what made him happy was that he finished filming this scene within the plan. Next, he could take advantage of the opportunity of the crew's transfer to run out.

...

"Oh, Wu, it's great that you can come! I really thought you wouldn't come~" Spielberg said to Wu Yuchen with a smile.

Wu Yuchen laughed and said, "Haha, Steven, the "Pirate King" series is my hard work. The promotion of "Pirate King 3" doesn't need me anymore, but I will definitely be there at the premiere!"

That's right, "Pirate King 3" is about to be released.

In fact, the movie has been promoted a long time ago, but Wu Yuchen did not participate in the promotion of "Pirate King 3" this time. After all, with the previous two films as a foundation, the reputation of the "Pirate King" series is already big enough, plus Depp, Hugh Jackman, Keira and other protagonists are promoting it, which is completely enough.

Therefore, Wu Yuchen did not participate at all, and stayed in the crew to shoot "Batman" peacefully. Although he did not participate in the promotion, he still had to come to the premiere of "Pirate King 3".

"Steven, how are you doing recently?" Wu Yuchen asked Spielberg.

Hearing this, Spielberg shook his head with a slightly bitter smile: "Fortunately, there is "Pirate King 3", otherwise "Escape from the Island" would really make DreamWorks very embarrassed."

This year's summer season in North America is also quite lively. It started with "Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith" released in May, which broke the box office of 100 million in the first weekend. It has been released for almost 2 months, and the box office in North America has exceeded 370 million, and the global box office has exceeded 700 million US dollars.

After "Star Wars Episode 3", the big production that took over the baton was "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", which had a box office of 50 million in the first weekend, and now it has 170 million in North America and 370 million worldwide. At present, it seems that the final box office will be 400 million, and it will be about 450 million. Although it cannot be compared with "Star Wars Episode 3", it is also a very successful project, after all, the cost is only 100 million.

The success of Mr. and Mrs. Smith also tied Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie together completely. The one who was hurt was the sweetheart of America, Jennifer Aniston, the heroine of Friends. Jolie stole her husband.

After that, it was the turn of Spielberg and Cruise to collaborate on the big production "World War". It has to be said that Cruise's appeal is strong. The first weekend was 65 million, and the North American box office was 220 million in one month. The global box office was 530 million, and the final box office exceeded 600 million.

Although the project of "World War" was very successful, with an investment of 130 million in exchange for a box office of 600 million, the investor Paramount did not make as much money as expected, because Cruise alone took 20% of the global box office, which is 120 million. And there is also Spielberg. He didn't get as much as Cruise, but it wasn't less.

So at least half of the box office profits of "World War" were taken away by these two people, and most of Paramount's money still depended on copyright.

Then there is "Escape from the Island" mentioned by Spielberg just now. This was a big project invested by DreamWorks last year. The director was the famous Explosive Bay, the heroine was Scarlett Johansson, and the production cost was 130 million. As a result, the box office in the first weekend was only 12 million. The North American box office has been just over 27 million since its release two weeks ago, and it has not even broken 30 million. It can be said that it was a waste of money.

The current box office revenue of "Escape from the Island" is far less than the publicity expenses invested by DreamWorks in the early stage. Now Spielberg can only stop the loss, cutting the later publicity expenses while hoping that the overseas box office will be stronger. But in this case, they can only sell the DVD copyright at a low price, and the whole project may lose 100 million in the end.

So now Spielberg is also fortunate that after the blood loss of "Escape from the Island", there is still "Pirate King 3" to help DreamWorks recover.

Wu Yuchen comforted Spielberg: "Steven, it's not that bad. This is not a serious blow to DreamWorks."

Spielberg shook his head. Although it didn't bankrupt DreamWorks, it still hurt a lot.

Spielberg then smiled bitterly and said: "To be honest, I'm a little scared of Michael Bay now. I really don't know whether I should continue to work with him..."

This time, Michael Bay made "Escape from the Island" neither artistic nor commercial, which really made both sides unhappy and was criticized by both sides. Of course, the most important thing is the box office loss.

Wu Yuchen was moved and asked Spielberg: "Do you have any new projects to cooperate with Michael Bay now?"

Spielberg nodded, but thinking that the movie would start soon, he said: "Wu, I can't finish a sentence. I just want to ask your opinion on this matter. Don't rush back to the crew tomorrow. Let's find time to talk in detail, okay?"

"Of course." Wu Yuchen did not object. It's still the premiere scene, and it's not a suitable place to talk in detail.

The premiere of "Pirate King 3" was very lively, with many stars and reporters. The finale of the "Pirate King" series is very exciting!

In the slightly back row, there sat a blonde with blue eyes, flaming red lips and a pretty face. Her mind kept echoing what her agent said to her:

"Dear, you are in a very dangerous situation now. That damn Michael Bay completely messed up the movie. With such a poor box office of "Escape from the Island", you have been blacklisted for commercial production. You must do something to change the current situation!"

She naturally understood the agent's hint. In this case, what can she, a beautiful star, do? Of course, she should find someone who can help her, provide her with resources, and extend her commercial life!

Therefore, she was very active in the premiere of "Pirate King 3" today. Today, there is someone who can change her current situation!

Two and a half hours later, as the film ended, the lights in the theater came on, and the audience burst into thunderous applause. Wu Yuchen and Spielberg smiled at each other. Both of them were confident in the quality of "Pirate King 3".

"Wu, a very beautiful ending, you have created a classic series!"

"Wu, it's wonderful! I even think it's more wonderful than the first two!"

One by one, the guests gave their praise to "Pirate King 3".

"Thank you for your compliments~"

Wu Yuchen sent these guests away one by one, thanking them, because the publicity in the newspaper tomorrow depends on some of them.

When almost everyone was sent away, a beautiful woman wearing a sexy hip-wrapped dress and high heels appeared in front of him. It was Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett Johansson held Wu Yuchen's hand, her eyes shining with admiration, and said: "Director Wu, I am your most loyal fan! The "Pirate King" series is simply a classic, and it is my favorite series of movies!"

Wu Yuchen looked at Scarlett Johansson in front of him and smiled politely: "Thank you!"

After saying that, he wanted to let go of his hand, but he found that his hand was still held by Scarlett Johansson. She was still a little excited and said:

"You know, I was just watching the process, and my heart was surging! How can you create a whole new world? Fantastic, romantic and mysterious!

I have a lot of things to talk about. I think I may be infected by you all night and can't sleep tonight!"

Although Scarlett Johansson was wearing high heels, she was still half a head lower than Wu Yuchen. So she looked up at Wu Yuchen like a little girl.

At this time, she was very nervous. After the big flop of "Escape from the Island of Clones", Scarlett Johansson wanted to find someone who could help her, and Wu Yuchen was the best target. There are not just one or two actresses who have been made famous by him.

Of course, she also understands that this is not without cost, it's just dedication, what's the big deal? She may feel disgusted by the old man, but Wu Yuchen is capable, handsome and young!

Her hint just now should be quite obvious, but I don't know if the other party is willing?

Wu Yuchen looked down at Scarlett Johansson, with a lot of things to talk to him? Can't sleep all night? Haha, it seems that there is another little bitch coveting him!

Wu Yuchen gently pulled his hand back, and then smiled and said to Scarlett Johansson: "Ms. Johnson, thank you for your appreciation, but I have talked too much about "Pirate King 3" today, and I don't want to continue this topic."

Hearing Wu Yuchen say this, Scarlett Johansson's smile froze, and a huge disappointment suddenly hit her heart. Although she was prepared to be rejected before coming, when it really happened, she was still depressed. What should I do next? Go to accompany the old man? She doesn't want to! Then she can only return to the literary and artistic film circle to mix again?

Scarlett Johansson was a child star, and later acted in many art films. In the past two years, she finally made it from the art circle to the business circle, and got the opportunity to play the leading role in a billion-dollar production. But now everything has gone wrong. It is natural that she is not willing to return to the art circle where the attention is not high.

But now Wu Yuchen has rejected her, and pestering her will only make people annoyed.

"Oh, sorry, Wu, I am presumptuous to disturb you..."

Just as Scarlett Johansson apologized and wanted to say goodbye, Wu Yuchen raised his mouth and said, "But I am very good at sleeping, especially helping people fall asleep. Miss Johnson, do you want me to help you solve the problem of not being able to fall asleep?"

Help people fall asleep?

Scarlett Johansson is not a fool. She understood Wu Yuchen's meaning immediately. Her mood, which had just fallen to the bottom, immediately became high again, and a hint of charm appeared in her eyes: "Of course, Wu, I think I need your help tonight~"

After coming out of the auditorium, Wu Yuchen boarded the extended Lincoln that picked him up, and naturally, Scarlett Johansson also got on the car.

As soon as Wu Yuchen sat down, Scarlett Johansson couldn't wait to throw herself into his arms and gave him a sweet kiss.

After a while, when their lips parted, Scarlett Johansson's delicate body pressed tightly against Wu Yuchen's body, panting, and said in a hoarse and sexy voice: "Wu, to express my gratitude for helping me fall asleep, I think I should pay you a little reward now~"

As she said that, Scarlett slowly slid down and fell on Wu Yuchen...

Wu Yuchen gently stroked Scarlett Johansson's hair, showing an expression of enjoyment. In the previous life, I heard that Black Widow was very unrestrained. When she was interviewed by a reporter, she talked about her "elevator shock" incident.

The so-called "elevator shock" was that after the Oscars ceremony, she and a male actor were so passionate that they were in a wooden elevator of a certain old hotel.

The two of them were so excited that the elevator creaked. It is said that they were finally kicked out by the hotel staff...

Later, Scarlett explained that it was a "joke". She claimed that she just joked with the reporter, but she didn't expect that the reporter took it seriously.

Wu Yuchen didn't know whether it was a joke or not, but he immediately planned to verify it with Scarlett in person to see how she sold cakes. If she can sell cakes in the elevator, she can also sell cakes in the car!

At noon the next day, Wu Yuchen woke up from the bed and looked at Scarlett Johansson in his arms.

To be honest, this girl is not top-notch in terms of appearance, not as good as Jessica Alba, and her legs are a bit short in terms of figure, not as good as Anne Hathaway, but she is called "Marilyn Monroe of the 21st century", which is natural.

Scarlett Johansson has a sexy temperament, a plump beauty, radiant and seductive charm, and has fascinated countless men.

No wonder Durant publicly stated that he wanted to drink Scarlett Johansson's bath water, but it's a pity that he was too ugly, and the goddess didn't pay any attention to him.

And last night, Wu Yuchen carefully tested Scarlett Johansson's ability to sell cakes, which was really good, whether in the car or in bed. Then he helped her fall asleep as agreed. Look, she is still sleeping soundly now!
