This dinner became the start of a good relationship between Lin Ming Yang and Monica, and it was in this house that Lin Ming Yang spent most of his free time with his hostess. Although Lin Mingyang's every visit was under the banner of discussing the plot, Monica clearly knew better how to organize these times to her liking. She discussed art and movies with him, and occasionally cared about his recent acquisition of AC Milan FC, helping him come up with ideas and solutions, and this subtle flavor with the protection of a close friend and family member slowly brought the distance between the two closer.
Just when this pair of affectionate men and women were ready to have further intimate contact, Lin Mingyang's cell phone placed on the bedside rang at an inopportune time.
"Damn it!" He cursed without regard for his manners, and in his heart, he had already cursed the guy who called an unknown number of times.
"Answer the phone first, it might be something important calling at this hour!"
"Mr. Felix, I've got it...I've got it!"
A staccato voice came from the other end of the phone, the effect of that was comparable to having the speakerphone on, Lin Ming Yang frowned slightly in dissatisfaction, but the tone of his voice didn't have that attitude embedded in it.
"Well, Mr. Bekmambetov, what novel ideas have you come up with this time in that genius imagination of yours?"
"I've suddenly come up with a couple of ideas for action scenes that might be used in the movie, so I'm anxious to hear your opinion."
Bekmambetov still had a loud, noisy voice, and the unbearable Lin Mingyang had to turn his cell phone away from his ear, "I'm ready, now you can speak!"
"Now, right on the phone?" Bekmambetov's excitement drained away quite a bit and turned into a kind of aggravation, "I already you will interview me about this..."
If it was another time, Lin Mingyang would have been more than willing to meet with Bekmambetov for a chat, but the situation at hand made him a little hesitant.
Glancing sideways, he saw that the car that had picked him up had already arrived at the entrance of the garden, and only then did Lin Ming Yang gently push Monica away, saying without regret, "I have to go, Bekmambetov's side has already conceptualized the entire script, and the preparations won't take long... Soon you'll have to report back to the crew as well!"
Monica lowered her head and murmured, "Will you still come over later?"
Lin Ming Yang patted her face and said, "I'll probably be very busy for a while... after I buy AC Milan, maybe I'll consider buying a house in Milan, preferably in this neighborhood... that way we'll be able to see each other more often!"
Through the window glass, looking at the black Rolls Royce sedan disappearing into the street corner, Monica's eyes overflowed with tears, she suddenly had an empty feeling at the moment, as if her whole being, body, mind and soul, was completely emptied with that man's departure.
----
The cafe where they agreed to meet, Lin Mingyang arrived earlier than the Russians, on the way here he suddenly remembered something, and took the opportunity to use the laptop he was carrying to look up some information on the Internet.
"Sure enough, it's different from what I imagined!"
Closing his computer, this slight exclamation from Lin Mingyang went almost unnoticed.
Just now, he was looking up a movie on the internet called "Catching the Dead", from memory it was a very special movie, there was no Bond's gentleman, no Bourne's cold handsomeness, no Ethan's righteousness, the plot was unimportant in this movie because all the bridges in the movie were just padding in order to bring the hero's heavenly marksmanship and unbelievable stance into full play.
Another kind of important reason for Lin Mingyang to think of this movie was that the movie's leading lady was none other than Monica Bellucci. But he also had to admit that even Bellucci's overwhelmingly beautiful breasts and buttocks still became a companion to the male lead's masculine and sexy body, and that unprecedented bed scene just became a murderous tango, a scene that had never appeared even in the wildest and most exaggerated dreams.
Unfortunately, the result of the online search is that Lin Mingyang did not find any information about this movie, his appearance made certain nodes in the memory changed, Monica was ten years younger, and a number of those movies related to her also changed.
This gap that had been erased from reality gave Lin Mingyang a sudden inspiration. The bed scene in the movie, which was extremely exaggerated and dazzling, could perhaps be "transplanted" into "Wanted II", and could even become an eye-catching highlight of the movie.
Lin Mingyang fingers gently tapping the laptop shell that was bitten off a bite of the apple logo, the whole person is in deep thought, when he came back to his senses, Beckman Bertov has been sitting in front of him in a formal manner.
"When did you come?"
"Just now!" Bekmambetov lied, in fact he had been waiting for nearly ten minutes.
Lin Mingyang nodded without caring too much, "Tell us about your new idea for the plot!"
"The situation is like this," Beckmambetov squirmed a bit uneasily in his seat, "I've already thought about most of the action plot designs for this movie, but..."
Lin Mingyang's expression steepened into grimness, "You didn't mention 'but' on the phone, and that's not the answer I wanted!"
Seeing him change his face, Bekmambetov hastily explained, "I did have it all figured out when I called you, but on the way here I realized that I had left out a very important part...it was a bit difficult for me to make a decision."
Lin Ming Yang waved his hand impatiently, "With your current level of English, there is no longer a need for you to stutter your way through expressions like this, just say what you have to say and don't beat around the bush with me, okay?"
With a resigned expression, Bekmambetov explained, "It's about the emotional scene between you and Monica, I couldn't decide what form to take."
"Please figure out that you're making an R-rated movie first, the audience needs to want what's most direct, not those lovey-dovey complicated relationships!"
Lin Mingyang's unthinking reply made Bekmambetov's mouth turn into a big O.
"You mean...just do that straight away?"
"A director's creativity can be seen in the control of the images and the control of the audience, not every fresh image is one that will be remembered by the audience. When constructing a movie, a good director has to have enough divergent thinking, not just focusing the movie's presentation purely on who's bad and who's good... The success of Wanted has inspired you, but it has also limited your thinking... think outside of that box, and I guarantee you'll be rewarded with an even better work! "
Bekmambetov's lips twitched, but in the end he said nothing.
Seeing this expression of his desire to speak, Lin Mingyang smiled. He knew that the Russian had already roughly understood what he meant, only that he still had scruples in his heart right now.
"Any more questions?"
"Do you think... Miss Monica would agree to such a shooting scheme?"
The words were already out of his mouth when Bekmambetov suddenly realized that he had asked a very stupid question. In his eyes, Lin Mingyang had probably already had a complete plan in his heart for running to Monica's house these days. Thinking about the rumors that this young man, whom he was quite afraid of, had all sorts of affairs in Hollywood, and that there was no woman in the world that he could not handle, the Russian felt that he was purely worrying about nothing.
Lin Mingyang looked sideways at the street outside the window where people were coming and going, and said slowly with his coffee in hand, "I fully believe in Miss Monica's professionalism as an actress, and the tradition of openness in European movies has traditionally been more daring than Hollywood... so this is not a problem!"
