Chapter 351: Pessimistic and Proactive Stuart
Greg Serfman was the most important guest at this premiere. After he arrived, almost everyone else was there.

After talking with him for a while, Liu Zhou led him into the hall and took him towards Gustav and Bronny Griffin.

They are people from the same circle. Although they are competitors, they are not strangers to each other in private.

Liu Zhou asked Anthony Edwards to entertain other guests, while he stayed with the three of them.

There is no doubt that this circle of four people is the most eye-catching focus of the entire venue.

Except for superstars like Nolan, Brad Pitt and his wife, as well as Reeves, Bale, Jackie Chan and Clooney, who could go over and have a chat, others who were not famous enough did not dare to come forward.

But it wasn't long before the premiere of "Twilight" was about to begin, and everyone found their seats.

The premieres in Hollywood are similar to those in China. In fact, China learns from Hong Kong, and Hong Kong learns from Hollywood.

First there were some interviews with the main creators, then there was a song and dance performance, and finally the movie started showing.

The plot of "Twilight" is actually very simple. It tells the story of a vampire named Edward who was born in the early 20th century. After he grew up to be a handsome young man at the age of seventeen, his appearance has never changed.

He and his vampire family have lived in a low profile for more than a hundred years, and they no longer survive by sucking human blood.

Because Edward and his family, who are also vampires, are vegetarians and only drink animal blood.

The heroine Isabella lives with her mother because her parents' relationship breaks down, and she is brought to another city to live.

After Isabella grew up, her mother remarried, to a baseball player.

Because her stepfather, a baseball player, needed to travel back and forth, Isabella returned to her father, and the city where her father lived was also the city where Edward lived.

At school, Isabella met a boy named Edward and was quickly attracted by his charm and gradually fell in love with him.

Although Edward also liked Isabella, he knew very well that a vampire could not live normally with humans.

But he couldn't forget Isabella, nor could he bear to go far away and cut off contact with her.

Until another group of vampires targeted Isabella, Edward started a series of battles with this group of vampires in order to protect Isabella.

Finally, victory and unity were achieved, and the two lovers finally got married.

Stories like this have been filmed to death in Hollywood, and they are so melodramatic that they can't be more melodramatic.

After two hours, Liu Zhou noticed that some reporters were almost asleep and many guests felt bored, but out of respect, they still stood up and applauded after the movie.

At this time, Gustav said to Liu Zhou:

"I'm a little confused now. You actually spent so much effort to organize such a grand premiere for such a melodramatic love movie."

"Really? I think the movie is pretty good. It's a love story between a handsome man and a beautiful woman. Young people should like it."

But it is obvious that Gusta is not the only one who is not optimistic. Greg Serfman and Bronny Griffin are also not optimistic, but they just didn't say it directly.

But this bloody love movie that was not favored by people actually earned 1.6 million US dollars at the North American box office and nearly million worldwide.

A severe blow to those who have been criticizing this movie.

In fact, melodramatic stories seem to be enduring no matter where they are.

Liu Zhou really wanted to see what expressions would appear on the faces of the three of them after "Twilight" was released.

Afterwards, the guests began to leave one after another, and Liu Zhou also saw Gustav and the other two off.

As soon as Liu Zhou returned to the theater lobby, Cheng Long came over and said with a smile:

"Mr. Liu, congratulations, I wish you a big box office success."

"Thank you. I also want to thank Brother Long for coming here today. Please don't mind if I didn't treat you well just now."

"How could that be? I know you are quite busy as the host."

This was the first time Cheng Long had met Liu Zhou this year. Although they had only not seen each other for a few months, what the other party had done made him look at him with new eyes.

Originally, Cheng Long wanted to talk to him about Golden Harvest. No matter what, Golden Harvest had an extremely special place in his mind.

But when he thought that he had completely left Golden Harvest and that Liu Zhou was now the new protagonist of Golden Harvest, he gave up the idea.

When he came to Hollywood and saw that Liu Zhou had made such a big name in just a few years, he felt like he was getting old.

But it seems that he is indeed old. After the release of "Rush Hour 3", he has completely left the mainstream market of Hollywood.

Whether in China or Hollywood, it has become a stage for young people like Liu Zhou.

"Brother Long, are you busy now? If not, you can stay here for two more days. I will treat you to a meal."

"Maybe next time. This time I came here, I also came to discuss cooperation with Columbia."

"Oh, is there another big project?"

"There is no such thing as a big project. It is no longer my turn to take on big Hollywood projects. This time I am working with Will Smith's son Jaden Smith on a kung fu movie."

It turned out to be the movie "The Karate Kid".

Although this movie is not a bad one, it is also a bloody story.

It tells the story of Drew Parker, a bullied kid played by Jaden Smith, who learns martial arts from a repairman played by Cheng Long, and defeats his opponent in a martial arts competition to win the championship.

This movie is all about Jaden Smith.

We all know that when Chen Shishi made movies, he usually brought his son with him, and he praised him very much. But compared with Will Smith, he was a little bit dwarfed. Will Smith took his son to act in movies since he was a child, and he also took him to act in a classic inspirational movie "The Pursuit of Happyness" two years ago.

It’s not enough for him to praise himself, now he is asking Cheng Long to praise his son.

But Jaden Smith is not even as good as Sir. No matter how much he is promoted, he can't become popular.

"Okay, then I'll treat you to a meal next time."

Not long after Cheng Long was sent away, Anthony Edwards also came over.

"Boss, I think the response to Twilight wasn't very good."

"Don't worry, Twilight was not made for people like them, but for young people."

"Seeing that you are still so confident, I feel relieved."

"The subsequent publicity must also keep up, otherwise my confidence will be useless."

"Don't worry Boss, the subsequent promotion will not be a slouch."

"Have all the guests left?"

"They've all been sent away. The creators of Twilight are still here. Do you want to go meet them?"

"Then let's go meet him."

Then Anthony Edwards took Liu Zhou to the film's main creators.

The director of "Twilight" is Catherine Hardwicke, one of the few female directors in Hollywood.

She has made a great contribution to the popularity of the melodramatic love story in "Twilight" among young people.

She made the story fascinating from a more delicate female perspective, and with the handsome men and beautiful women starring in the lead roles, it gave "Twilight" a good start.

Following them are the female lead Kristen Stewart, the male lead Robert Pattinson, and several supporting roles, all of whom are very young actors.

However, among these people, only Kristen Stewart finally made it in Hollywood.

Anthony Edwards introduced them to Liu Zhou one by one, and Liu Zhou smiled and shook hands with them one by one.

When shaking hands with the leading actress Kristen Stewart, she even boldly scratched Liu Zhou's palm.

Liu Zhou's expression remained unchanged. After getting to know a few people, he chatted with them briefly.

Of course, they had heard of Liu Zhou.

Not only is he a rising Hollywood director, he is also the boss of Summit Entertainment and I heard he is a wealthy man.

Moreover, before the premiere began, they also witnessed Liu Zhou chatting and laughing with several Hollywood bigwigs including the president of Warner.

Needless to say, although Liu Zhou is a Chinese, he is also a big shot in Hollywood that they usually find difficult to contact.

So several people were very enthusiastic towards Liu Zhou. In addition, Liu Zhou's youth and handsome appearance attracted the attention of several girls.

Especially Kristen Stewart, her eyes were undisguised and extremely passionate.

Liu Zhou didn't stay long. He chatted with a few people for a few minutes and then prepared to leave.

But when Liu Zhou stood up, Kristen Stewart said quickly:

"Mr. Liu, can I buy you a cup of coffee?"

Hearing this, Liu Zhou couldn't help but turn his head and look at her.

At this moment, Kristen Stewart looked expectant but also a little nervous.

However, at the age of 18, she was at the peak of her youth and beauty.

For young, beautiful and ambitious girls, Liu Zhou will never stop them from pursuing their dreams.

"No problem, I know a really good coffee shop nearby, we can go try it now."

Kristen Stewart's face suddenly blossomed into a beautiful smile, and she quickly said:
"of course."

After saying that, she took her things and left with Liu Zhou.

Of course, others knew that they were not just going there for coffee. Now that they had entered Hollywood, everyone knew what the situation was.

However, after Liu Zhou and others left, someone still cursed in a low voice:
"Bitch!"

Although the sound was very small, everyone present heard it clearly.

This also resonated with other people, and they began to speak well of Kristen Stewart.

However, director Catherine Hardwicke couldn't help shaking her head when she looked at this group of young people.

She didn't know whether these people really disliked Kristen Stewart or felt that they had missed the opportunity and let her get there first.

But no matter which one it was, she thought it was childish.

In Hollywood, only people like Kristen Stewart, who they insult behind their backs, can make it.

She felt that among the actors in "Twilight", Kristen might be the only one who could make it.
