Chapter 230 Dance and Anchor

When Zheng Jing walked into the private room, he saw Anne Hester standing in front of the French window.

She was wearing a black off-shoulder dress, and the skin on her back was white, smooth and very moist.

Further down, there is a round waist, a firm buttocks, straight long legs, and bright red high heels.

The custom-made dress showed off her nice figure.

After hearing the noise, Annie turned around. Her white skin with a bottomless ravine attracted Zheng Jing's attention.

After feeling Zheng Jing's gaze, Annie felt very proud, thinking that her careful dressing was worth it.

She looked at Zheng Jing and said, "My daughter is a little willful and acted like a fool tonight. I apologize to you on her behalf."

Anne had known for a long time that Amanda was stealing money outside, but she did not step forward to stop it.

Zheng Jing walked to the French window, looked at the bustling night scene, and said with a smile: "Isn't this the result of your deliberate guidance?"

Annie looked at Zheng Jing in surprise.

"You figured this out? I thought you would be very proud of it. My mother and I have been fighting over you."

“You were just being intimate with me on purpose in front of Amanda.

You haven't taken any practical action regarding the publication of the novel, nor have you discussed any conditions with me.

I certainly understand your point of view.

The Hearst family is not just you and your daughter, there are many heirs, and Amanda's growth is the most important thing to you."

The Hearst family's management model is mainly divided into two parts.

One part is the family trust, which is responsible for managing part of the family's assets and cash. Each heir has a certain share of the benefits to ensure everyone's wealthy life.

The other is the group’s board of directors, which is composed of heirs and professional managers.

Whoever controls the board of directors controls the voice of the entire family.

The internal struggles within large families are extremely fierce.

Anne wants more power, and training Amanda to join the board of directors is the best way.

She deliberately stimulated Amanda in order to help her daughter grow.

After hearing Zheng Jing's analysis, Annie stood up and pressed her whole body against Zheng Jing.

She said charmingly, "Who said I didn't take any practical action? Isn't this a date with you?"

Zheng Jing took over the role.

He stretched out his arm, put his arm around Annie's waist, and suddenly asked, "Do you think the material of this French window is solid?"

Anne was puzzled by the question, but she still answered: "Of course it is strong, stronger than ordinary walls."

"What about this chair?"

“Two or three people can sit there.”

"That's good."

Zheng Jing went straight to the point, revealed the trump card, and saw the narrow valley.

Anne took a breath and said, "You are too impatient. Can't we negotiate after dinner?"

"No, I'm afraid you'll vomit it out." Zheng Jing said with a wicked smile: "I promised Amanda that I would help her get revenge."

"Stop it, I have a headache. Go slower. If the window breaks, you'll be dead."

In the next room, Anne Hathaway, who had just finished blowing out the candles, felt the wall shaking. She asked curiously, "Is it an earthquake?"

The Centurion restaurant is very soundproofed for privacy.

Amanda and Li Yinxin looked at each other and said with a smile, "No, you are hallucinating.

Let’s take a picture first, then cut the cake.”

After hearing what Amanda said, Anne Hathaway stopped worrying about it and focused on celebrating her birthday.

For Anne Hathaway, being able to dine at the Centurion Restaurant is an experience worth bragging about for a long time.

The next morning, Amanda came to the company on purpose.

She laughed out loud when she saw her mother still wearing a hat in the office.

"Dear Annie, what's the matter with your head, and why are you wearing a hat?"

Anne glanced at Amanda and scolded her, "Children, stay out of the adult business!"

"Haha, haha~"

Amanda laughed more and more happily, and Annie became angry and said, “What do you know? This is the best experience.

Although Zheng was a little rude, last night was really perfect! "

For a mature woman like Annie, Zheng Jing's strength is just right.

Amanda didn't listen at all. She felt that the teacher had helped her get revenge, and she even called Zheng Jing to express her gratitude.

When Zheng Jing received the call, he was already in Los Angeles.

This time I came to the United States, in addition to filming a movie, I also came to promote my novel.

Before the sales of "The Da Vinci Code" and "Twilight", Zheng Jingdu did not come to the United States for activities.

This time, I took advantage of the release of "Underworld" to catch up.

In the following week, he traveled to 6 cities in the United States, held 8 book signing sessions, and recorded several programs.

The overall effect is still very good.

Although Zheng Jing is not as popular in the United States as he is in China or Japan, he still has a certain number of fans and book admirers.

There were quite a lot of people at the book signing event.

In this wave of promotional activities, Zheng Jing used a lot of tricks.

Except for the wheel-spinning, there were also archery, magic tricks, spear and stick dancing, and eighteen martial arts classes that took turns to demonstrate.

Zheng Jing has abnormal physical fitness and the skills of a weapon master. His fingers, wrists and tongue are very flexible, and he is invincible in micro-manipulation.

The various skills displayed gave the Americans a little shock.

Especially after some TV programs were broadcast, many people began to call Zheng Jing the new generation of Kung Fu King.

Coupled with the publicity from the Hearst Group, Zheng Jing’s popularity in the United States has skyrocketed, and he has become a hot topic in recent days.

Thanks to Zheng Jing's promotion, the sales of the novel "Underworld" exploded, selling 21 copies on the first day of its release, topping the bestseller list. This shocked the whole world.

Seeing that the novel was so popular, Zheng Jing increased his promotional schedule.

It was not until November 11 that he returned to New York, joined the crew, and began filming "Cat and Mouse Game."

Nolan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zheng Jing joining the team.

The shooting period of the cat-and-mouse game was originally short, only about 45 days, and the time was tight and the task was heavy.

Zheng Jing, the focus of the film, has been slow to join the crew, and Nolan is very worried about his condition.

Unexpectedly, after the filming started, Zheng Jing's performance was the best, smooth, delicate and very vivid.

Whether it was Frank's youthful ignorance when he was in school, or his playful mentality when he committed fraud for the first time, to his calm and relaxed attitude when he could make the fake look real later on, Zheng Jing performed the role perfectly.

Nolan couldn't find a single fault with it.

Moreover, Zheng Jing was able to come up with ideas and thoughts about filming, which provided great help to Nolan.

On the contrary, the performances of Matt Damon and Anne Hathaway were suppressed by Zheng Jing.

It can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

On November 11th, the seventh day of filming, Zheng Jing arrived at the crew early in the morning, but saw Nolan sitting in his office chair with a frown on his face, as if he had encountered some difficulties.

Zheng Jing walked closer and asked, "What's the problem?"

“I wanted to come up with a line of dialogue, or an action, that would serve as an anchor for the film,” Nolan said.

Whenever an anchor point appears, it means Frank's scam is successful.

This is a psychological hint to the audience and also a storytelling technique.”

Nolan's films often have multiple narrative lines.

Doing so will improve the quality of the film, but it will also make it more difficult for the audience to watch the film.

It is also a big challenge for the director.

In order to help the audience better understand the plot, Nolan often designs anchor points in his movies to simplify complex things.

After taking a sip of coffee, Nolan continued, “I hope this anchor point can be a little looser and not too deliberate.

But I can’t think of any good lines or actions for now.”

Zheng Jing thought for a moment and asked, "What is the weakness that Frank deliberately exposed?"

Nolan's eyes lit up and he said, "As Frank often says, violence can't solve problems. I like to use my brain.

He always pretends to be in poor health and deceives everyone with his gentle and refined appearance. "

In the script adapted by Zheng Jing, Frank is physically strong and has specially learned fighting and shooting.

But he deliberately pretended to hate violence and only used his brain to cheat.

Frank deliberately used violence as his last trump card.

Even when he was caught by Carl, he did not reveal his skills.

Frank was able to clean himself up in the end and complete the comeback because of this trump card.

Zheng Jing said: "Why not design a dance that looks clumsy? Frank likes to celebrate his successful scams by dancing.

Every time he danced, he won.

Frank's dance is funny and his body movements seem uncoordinated. This was intentionally designed to make everyone think that he has poor physical skills and can only use his brain.

At the finale, Frank danced again, this time more smoothly with the background music.

The audience will find that Frank's funny dance moves are all on rhythm.

In fact, this dance is very interesting, and the audience was deceived.”

Hearing Zheng Jing's words, Nolan stood up and said excitedly: "Your idea is great!
We just need a dance, a dance that looks funny but goes really well with the music!"

Zheng Jing said, "I just happen to have a dance, see if you can do it."

After saying this, Zheng Jing, wearing a pilot's uniform, jumped directly.

I saw his shoulders slumping and his body twisting strangely. He looked really funny and didn't look like someone who could dance.

The song Zheng Jing danced to was Li Xicheng March, which will be very popular on short video platforms in the future.

The original song for this dance is a very nice English song - Once upon a Time.

Later, after being adapted by a DJ, the rhythm and drum beats became clearer and it became a background song for dance.

The original dance performed by Li Xicheng himself is not actually outstanding, but the dance imitated by netizens is very interesting.

The main focus is relaxation.

No matter how you twist your body, as long as you stick to the beat of the drum, the dance won't be ugly.

There is a lot of room for creativity in this piece of music. Zheng Jing can dance in a funny way at first, as if his body is out of coordination.

Then match it with music to show the ultimate sense of relaxation.

It fits the plot of the "cat and mouse game" perfectly, and Frank's pride after the successful scam is hidden in the dance.

The song Once upon a Time can also be regarded as the theme song of the cat and mouse game.

After a week of filming, Zheng Jing has acquired the talent of Frank's character card - excellent memory.

He remembered things from his previous life more and more clearly.

Even without experiencing the scripted world, one can still recall quite a few songs and dances.

Seeing Zheng Jing's actions, Nolan was still a little skeptical.

"Your dance is funny, but are you sure it will feel different with the music?"

"Don't worry, after the song is recorded, I'll dance it again for you."

"OK, I'll do as you say." Nolan said, "Then let's reshoot this dance."

The anchor point issue was resolved and the shoot went smoothly.

But Zheng Jing didn't expect that the funny dance he performed on the set seemed to be magical.

Everyone was laughing at first, but soon, they began to imitate each other.

Even without music, everyone danced happily.
