Chapter 545(1/2)
After breakfast, Jiang Xiao sent Zeng Ling back to the collapsed hotel.
Although he will not leave Paris for Los Angeles today, the woman's good friend will come over today, so the two naturally cannot stay together anymore.
And from these words, it is not difficult to tell that after the young lady said it, she was very open-minded.
Anyway, Jiang Xiao feels that Zeng Lai is definitely cold on the outside, but he still has a touch of fire inside, and he doesn't care too much about worldly things. He seems to be in the opposite state to Jia Jingwen.
Although he somewhat did not expect that unexpected situations would happen when he came to Paris this time, but it has already happened, so he should accept it calmly, uh... It is really a quote from a scumbag.

The next day, Jiang Xiao finally flew to the United States with the creative team of "Inception" and flew to Los Angeles.
Then on the 12th, I accepted another interview with the local TV media. The main purpose was of course to promote the movie. Just be polite and praise "Inception".
Director niiiiiiice!
However, at the end of the interview program, Jiang Xiao suddenly heard the female host ask him again: "Jiang, do you think you will become the next Jack Cheng?"
"NO, my name is Jiang Xiao, so I won't become the next Cheng Lin, ha~!!!"
Americans think directly and don't ask questions without turning around. However, Jiang Xiao thought about it for a moment and responded to this additional question in a humorous way.
"Oh, that's a very interesting answer. Yes, you are Jiang Xiao. Let me ask again, do you want to come to Hollywood to develop? After all, this is the center of world cinema and a place that every actor yearns for."
The female host asked again.
"I haven't thought about it because I am an athlete. Do you believe what I say?"
The female host is really full of pride, but in terms of industrial level, it really makes people speechless. However, Jiang Xiao will not deliberately belittle her.
But to be honest, even if he can take on Hollywood movies, he really has never thought about coming to Hollywood. The so-called development is to focus his work here, like Cheng Ming, Jet Li, and Wu Yushen, who will not be disappointed until they are abandoned by Hollywood.
Returning to China to use the remaining heat.
Wouldn’t it be great to be a big star in the country?
Even if you can succeed in Hollywood, it is obviously impossible to become the top Hollywood star.
This is the world of Westerners, and there are natural limitations in terms of works. It is impossible for Easterners to become part of the mainstream.
"Wow, you are right. You are a world champion and a world flying man. I should believe it. Ha, Jiang, I have to say, you are very humorous and changed some of my impressions."
The female host probably had a stereotyped impression of Chinese people, but the interview with Jiang Xiao today naturally made her change some of her thoughts.
"Actually, I'm very ordinary. Maybe that's why you come into contact with so few foreigners like me."
Jiang Xiao felt that it would be really difficult to unify the three outlooks because of the different living cultures.
"I think so, OK, Jiang, thank you for accepting my interview, thank you!"
It can be seen that Jiang Xiao is a person who is very good at dealing with things. The hostess, who felt that there should be no effect, finally chose to end the interview at the appropriate time.

It's night, inside a restaurant in Los Angeles.
"Jiang, I'm really sorry about Paris. I missed my appointment!"
"It's okay, I can understand."
Seeing Emma Roberts apologizing to him, Jiang Xiao said indifferently.
It's true that he doesn't care about this matter. No one has urgent matters to deal with.
"Thank you for your understanding. By the way, the promotion in Los Angeles is over. Will you stay? Maybe I can take you to some interesting places."
Emma Roberts extended the invitation again.
"I would love to, but I might not be free. Soon I will go to Brazil to shoot a new movie, the fifth part of "Fast and Furious~". I have a role in it."
Reality really didn't allow it, and Jiang Xiao had no choice but to decline Emma Roberts' invitation.
"Wow, "Fast and Furious 5"? That's a big production, congratulations."
Emma Roberts was quite surprised by the news revealed by Jiang Xiao.
"Do you believe me when I say I bought the opportunity with money?"
"what?"
"I have my own film company in China, and I also participated in the investment of "Fast and Furious 5" with US$15 million, so I easily got an opportunity."
Jiang Xiao is really quite frank. Not to mention skipping the script, if he doesn't spend money to invest, the chance of actually getting the role should be relatively small.
It’s also true that the original planned investment of 20 million US dollars was reduced to 15 million US dollars because of some financial pressure and they had to seek bank loans at that time.
"Really? But I think this is also a kind of strength, isn't it?"
It was Emma Roberts who had an accident. She felt that as she said, money also means strength.
Moreover, Jiang Xiao can easily spend 15 million US dollars, which shows that he is still very powerful.
It seems that the other party is far more harmful than she imagined.
"Yeah, there's one word that can sum it all up, and that's money."
Jiang Xiao responded in a humorous tone.
"Yes, money, money with magic power."
When Emma Roberts heard this, she immediately became happy.
Mainly because Jiang Xiao's tone of voice is really humorous.
Two hours later, Jiang Xiao and Emma Roberts left the restaurant and separated directly at the door. He went back to the hotel and the girl went back to her home.
Rather than going to the same place together, it was really just a dinner date between friends, nothing more.

The next morning, in a hotel.
"Inception" held a press conference. There was a row of long tables covered with tablecloths. The main creators sat in turn, and there was a microphone in front of each person.
Director Nolan naturally sat in the "C seat", with DiCaprio and Maria Cotillard on the left and right, and Jiang Xiao sat next to the latter.
There is nothing new about the press conference. London and Paris have already experienced it. The key is that the questions asked are still the same every time.
Talk about your role, talk about cooperation with the director, other actors, talk about the movie and so on.
Until late afternoon, "Inception" held its premiere at the Chinese Theater without "real China" elements.
The road was temporarily closed and half of it was occupied, with a background board on one side and an iron guardrail on the other. There were many moviegoers on site, probably hundreds of people scattered on both sides of the road.
Everyone held mobile phones and cameras in their hands, shouting and taking photos as the main creators of "Inception" stepped onto the black carpet one after another.
Yes, today's premiere was not a traditional red carpet, but a relatively rare black carpet. I don't know what the meaning is.
Needless to say, Xiao Lizi received the most attention, and at this moment he seemed to be the most handsome boy on the street.
And Jiang Xiao naturally has no fans here. He is the center of attention in China, and he hasn't felt this way for a long time.
Fortunately, I was mentally prepared in advance, and I didn’t think I would have any thoughts of psychological imbalance.
He has already seen through these things, so there is no need to pay more attention to them.
The world does not revolve around one person. If you leave it for a while, you will probably have more experience.
"Jiang, what is the biggest challenge for you in this movie?"
Maybe reporters want to interview DiCaprio and Nolan, but there is only one DiCaprio and Nolan. So at a certain moment, when a reporter came to interview him, Jiang Xiao also said calmly: "The biggest challenge...
…”
"I think it was a hotel scene in a movie. Because the required state was the effect of weightlessness, I was covered with wires at that time, which may require a lot of skill and control."
"This is really difficult and very challenging."
If Jiang Xiao was most impressed by this scene during the filming, it was this scene, so he shared it.
"Then are you satisfied with your performance?"
The reporter asked again.
"Yes, I have watched the finished film, so I am still very satisfied with it. The effect is very praiseworthy. Now I can't describe it to you in words. You know, it is best to take the initiative to go to the cinema and witness it for yourself."
Jiang Xiao responded with great ease.
"In this collaboration, who do you think you are most compatible with among the other actors? How do you evaluate them?"
"Everyone is great, very professional, and very easy to work with. I can only say that this is a great experience, everyone..."
When water comes and soil submerges, soldiers come to stop it. No matter what kind of questions the reporter throws, Jiang Xiao can answer them with ease.
After the interview, he naturally had to take photos with other actors either alone or together for reporters.
The final black carpet ceremony came to an end, and the premiere officially opened at the Chinese Theater.
At first it was a performance, a performance by a symphony orchestra, but now it was quite unique, at least to Jiang Xiao.
After this stage was over, the main film naturally began to show.
Having watched Jiang Xiao twice in a row, I feel that I am not interested anymore. No matter how good the movie is, if I watch it repeatedly in a short period of time, I am afraid that it will...
