"OK, next, Miss Li Youhu, my pronunciation should be very accurate, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Letterman, it's surprising."

"Actually, I learned about it in advance. The name of Miss Li is the most interesting. The meaning is 'There is a fox there', which comes from the title of a poem in an ancient Chinese collection of poems. If an audience member saw the performance of the Chinese Style Art Troupe in New York last year, he would definitely be very impressed by this poem. Just so happen that we found the performance video of the time today, so everyone will listen to it first."

Manhattan, the East Coast headquarters of Daenerys Entertainment on the Upper West Side.

Today is Tuesday, July 22.

This is the recording scene of a episode of "David Letterman's Late Night Show". The crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" attended the film promotion.

When a edited dance "The Fox" was played, David Letterman said intoxicatedly: "Although I still don't understand, it's so beautiful. I think everyone feels the same as me. So, back to the topic, Miss Li, can you roughly introduce your role in the film?"

"Of course, my character is a noble lady from ancient China. She has learned kung fu since she was a child, and she is very capable, and she also longs to get rid of the shackles of the family. The plot of the film is largely caused by the restlessness in my character's heart. Oh, it's basically that. I can't say more. If you are interested, you can go to the theater to watch."

"It's exciting," David Letterman took a natural response, and then looked at Ang Lee: "Sir Director, then, why did you choose Miss Lee as the heroine?"

"Because the appearance and temperament of the fox are very consistent, first of all, Li is very beautiful, isn't he?"

Amid the laughter of everyone's cooperation, David Letterman also nodded: "No one has any objection to this."

"Another, Li is still a very outstanding dancer. If it weren't for this film, she should have appeared on the performance stage of the Chinese Style Art Troupe that we just saw. I initially wanted to find a girl who knows kung fu, but it was not easy. Her appearance, physical fitness and acting skills needed to be met. Li has a foundation in dancing, and dance and kung fu are largely in common. She is also very sensible about performance. In addition, the kung fu training before filming has reached the requirements of the role."

"It sounds not easy, so now the movie is about to be released. Before the audience sees this video, Mr. Director, can you first evaluate Lee's performance in the film?"

"There is only one word for evaluation. Amazing! Lee is not only talented, but also works very hard. Through this collaboration, I believe she will become a very outstanding actor in the future."

"David Letterman's Late Night Show" is one hour each episode, and the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has received 20 minutes this time, and it took about an hour to complete the recording.

It is 5:30 pm.

After the recording was over, everyone left the studio together. A middle-level senior from Gaomen Film Group, who was responsible for coordinating the promotion and distribution of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", discussed with everyone about the premiere of tomorrow afternoon, and then said goodbye to each other and left.

Teacher Yu brought two entourages to greet him, as well as Jeremy Zhao, who was arranged to serve as Li Youhu's agent. This agent of Jeter Lee, a WMA, has roughly known Li Youhu's background. Although he does not regard her as the focus of his career, he still does his best at work. He has been staying in New York these days to plan for Li Youhu.

He personally handed a bottle of water to Li Youhu. Teacher Yu and others surrounded her in the center and walked out, asking, "How is it, it's all going well?"

Li Youhu took a sip of water and happened to walk to the elevator entrance. He looked at a downward nodding next to him, and whispered to Teacher Yu: "Well, you have noticed it. Yang Ganggang's face is not very good."

What Li Youhu is talking about is another heroine in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", the original Michelle Young.

Teacher Yu didn't understand why, but he nodded slightly and lowered his voice: "What's wrong?"

Li Youhu was a little proud and tried not to make himself look a little bit successful, saying, "Just just recorded, my attention was basically on Director Li, Brother Fa and me, and I gave her the shortest time. I guess there will definitely be fewer shots after it is cut."

As the elevator arrived.

Everyone entered the elevator together. Teacher Yu glanced at the agent on the other side, paused and said, "It should be arranged by him."

"Absolutely," Li Youhu said, looking at the agent next to him: "Jerry, that, has Michelle signed a contract with WMA?"

Jeremy Zhao is not a talkative person. He just heard a rough idea. When Li Youhu asked, he took the initiative to say, "No, I actually found out in private that Miss Yang is 35 years old this year. As a kung fu star, she is a bit old and it is difficult to make much progress in Hollywood. But you, Li, if the box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is good, it is best to take a few more movies to become famous."

Understanding Li Youhu's background, the agent's instigation was obviously his own little thoughts.

With her back on Westeros, as long as Li Youhu thinks, this girl will definitely not lack opportunities, and even her Asian identity will not be too much hindrance. If she can become famous, she will have another famous celebrity in her hands. The most direct benefit is that she can earn more commissions.

Li Youhu did not show too much eagerness, but just smiled and the group came downstairs and said goodbye again.

I made an appointment to have a dinner with a group of friends from the Chinese Style Art Troupe who had just finished his European tour last week and returned to North America. When I returned to my residence in the Upper West District, six or seven girls including Wei Huacai, Gu Yaotiao, Ouyang Shuli, etc., who had a relationship with Li Youhu, had arrived, and Chen Xingwei was among them. The two girls were arranged in a pair at the beginning, at least on the surface, very harmonious.

In a single-family villa on 90th Street, Shangxi District.

The waitresses were responsible for preparing dinner, and a group of slender and soft girls sat, lying or lying on the ground and gathered in a living room in the villa, chattering about the recent situation.

"Of course I'm tired, but it's also fulfilling," Gu Yaomei sat cross-legged on the sofa holding a glass of orange juice, and gestured with one hand: "You don't know that when we were in Rome, we were so popular. Every day, a bunch of people blocked the back door of the theater, and then a bunch of policemen were called to maintain order."

Ouyang Shuli interrupted and said, "Yes, there are still people who pursue unicorn, a handsome guy who chased from England to Rome. Alas, who made unicorn "Jian Jia" so beautiful?"

Wei Panchao, who had no choice but to sit on the carpet and was flipping through a fashion magazine, immediately interrupted when he heard this: "Don't talk nonsense, where is it?"

"It seems that it's very rich, so I'll send a bunch of roses over," Chen Xingwei also made up his mind: "Of course we definitely don't like it."

"That's right, no matter how rich you are, you can't compare to our boss."

"I'm so angry if you talk nonsense."

Everyone laughed and laughed, and Ouyang Shuli looked at Li Youhu again: "By the way, Youhu, we have discussed that movie here, and we will buy tickets together in a few days to help you support you."

Li Youhu immediately said: "I'd better not want it, it's like cheating."

"Why are you cheating? We want to watch this movie too."

Li Youhu thought for a while and said, "If you really want to watch it, why not attend the premiere tomorrow?"

"Are you going to get the ticket for the premiere?"

"I'll call to ask later. It should be fine. We are not a blockbuster like "One Power Day", but no movie fans come to grab tickets."

Ouyang Shuli looked contemptuous: "Tsk, I'm so pitiful. We can't even make movies."

"Then you go and talk to the boss, and he will definitely agree."

"Tsk, the last time we met our boss was in China, it's been more than two months."

"Tsk tsk, it sounds like a resentful woman from the deep palace."

Ouyang Shuli twisted his slender and gentle body slightly, and finally leaned on Su Fengnian next to him, with a resentful look on his face: "It was, we are all resentful women in the deep palace..."

Su Fengnian pushed Ouyang Shuli away, who was dragging Xiaoweiyin: "Go and go, just be a resentful woman yourself, don't pull us."

"Okay," Li Youhu made a smooth move: "Then what are you doing recently?"

"Temporary rest," Ouyang Shuli said: "By the way, in China, the Spring Festival Gala has invited us to participate in this year's program and selected the "Caiwei"."

Li Youhu heard Ouyang Shuli's obvious words: "What's the matter?"

"I have been on tour for more than half a year and I'm so tired. I heard that the Spring Festival Gala has to be rehearsed for several months, so people don't really want to go there."

Li Youhu subconsciously said, "That's the Spring Festival Gala."

After saying that, he realized again.

Just talk about myself, if I were still a member of the former Oriental Song and Dance Troupe, it would be a great honor to be able to participate in the Spring Festival Gala.

Now, it really doesn't matter.

After all, I have to be busy for several months and have been rehearsing repeatedly in seconds, and I can’t make much money. As for becoming famous by the Spring Festival Gala, the girls of the National Style Art Troupe are already very famous, and they are still world-class.

Thinking of this, Li Youhu asked again: "What the hell is going on?"

Ouyang Shuli said: "The boss agreed for us. What else can we do? However, we can go directly to the final rehearsal without going through screening. Moreover, everyone is already very familiar with that dance. They can finish it with their eyes closed, which is definitely much easier than other program teams."

Wei Chanchai suddenly said: "Actually, the boss is also for everyone's good. If you can show off your face on the Spring Festival Gala, it will always be useful in the future."

These words made the atmosphere in the living room slightly slow down.

The girls couldn't help but think of the future.

Everyone had only signed a five-year contract at the beginning. Although it has only been more than a year now, as long as the slightly rational girl understands that the current life cannot last forever.

Thinking of this, everyone looked at Li Youhu with some envy.

Li Youhu has now settled down.

And even if their contract expires in the future, they can renew it again, or even twice or three times, they will always leave in the future.

Before I knew it, I had become so generous that I was like a princess. It was a bit difficult for girls to imagine how to live without these in the future.

Being stared at by a group of eyes, Li Youhu quickly understood everyone's thoughts, subconsciously changed the contradictions, and looked at Wei Cancai: "Since you think it is useful, why don't you perform for everyone? Tell the boss, he will definitely agree. The Spring Festival Gala should also accept the replacement of "Caiwei" with "Jian Jia"?"

Wei Chan said: "I'm very busy and I have my own business."

Li Youhu was puzzled: "Hmm?"

Gu Yaotiao helped to reveal the answer: "Jianqi has been practicing sword dance recently. The boss wrote a song when he was in China two months ago, and it should be accompanied by dance."

"That song "Human Meeting"?"

"It's another song, it's also very nice, and the style is similar. The boss said, well, it's all Chinese style, but this song is about Yu Ji. The boss also said that in the future, it will be all Chinese style."

"What, Ji?"

"Farewell My Concubine Yu Ji."

"Oh," Li Youhu was intrigued: "Sing it to me?"

Gu Yaotiao shook her head: "I can't sing well. If she lets the gang come, she can do anything."

"I can't sing well," Wei Chancha refused, and said: "The songs are recorded by the Twelve Beauties. You know, they are not only good at musical instruments, but most of them have learned vocal music, and they also have operas. They sing very well, making us feel that it's a waste of singing along. After you finish this part, go to Changdao to listen to it."

When Li Youhu heard Wei Huacai say this, he became even more curious.

Unfortunately, after Wei Chanchao refused, the girls formed a tacit understanding and kept it secret from her. They didn't even want to hum a few words and had to give up.

After the evening dinner, the girls stayed. The villa was spacious and there were more than six or seven girls.

Early the next morning, Li Youhu began to be busy with the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the evening.

To be precise, because it has premiered in Cannes once in May, this time should be the North American premiere, located in a flagship theater affiliated to Oden Cinemas under Duan Daenerys Entertainment, Midtown Broadway.

It took more than two hours to discuss the process of taking photos and interviews, wear dresses and jewelry, and even put on makeup in the afternoon. It took more than two hours until after five o'clock in the afternoon, when Li Youhu arrived at his destination in a concierge car, met with other main creators of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and showed up together.

Even if it is just a low-cost film with a $15 million investment, the premiere of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is also lively.
