Reborn Action Star: Starting in Hollywood

Chapter 463: Meng Tao's First Film Ends (-Word Chapter)

On this "innocent" night when Lin Yuan and Megan were talking, Meng Tao also came to the yard of his original villa.

In the dark night, he looked at the bright lights in the house.

Under the large floor-to-ceiling window, Nicole was having dinner with her son Jim and baby Scarlett.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Meng Tao wondered how nice it would be if he were inside the house.

This used to be his home. He lived here for nearly 20 years and he is familiar with everything here.

The flowers and grass in the backyard, which had been thriving and lush, now looked a little listless.

"This guy, can't he water the flowers on time?"

So Meng Tao silently picked up the water pipe in his hand and started watering the plants.

In the night, the spraying water appears crystal clear and sparkling under the light coming through the house.

Drops of water fell on the originally wilted flowers and plants, and they became visibly refreshed.

At this moment, Meng Tao had an inexplicable sense of fulfillment. This was his home that he could not give up.

No matter how many beauties he sleeps with outside in one night, his heart is always empty. Only here can he get spiritual satisfaction.

But can he still return to this home?

Just then, a man came from a distance holding a bouquet of flowers.

Meng Tao immediately put down the water pipe in his hand and hid in the shadows.

When the man reached the main door, the light from the eaves illuminated his face: it was David.

The man who played Santa Claus with Nicole!
The man who cheated on me!
David took a step forward and rang the doorbell:
"Ding dong!"

After a while, the door opened.

Seeing David, Nicole asked in surprise: "David? Why are you here so late?"

"Because I miss you." After saying that, David handed over the flowers in his hand.

Nicole took the flowers somewhat at a loss and said, "Thank you for the flowers. But what do you want to tell me?"

"I want to say I love you! Let's officially be together!" David said seriously.

"I...I've never thought about this." Nicole said panickedly.

"I expect you to seriously consider it now and give me an answer. I will spend the rest of my life loving you alone," said David.

"I……"

Nicole was about to answer when Scarlett came out from behind the door. She glanced at David with disdain and said, "You ruined your marriage just for this man? I really feel sorry for Mr. Meng Tao.

Jim's been waiting for his dad to come home, and you're going to let the man who caused his dad to move out move in?

I can hardly imagine anything more outrageous than this!"

After saying that, Scarlett walked out without looking back.

As she walked, Scarlett cursed herself in her heart: Why did I say that?
Wouldn't it be great if Nicole and this adulterer could be together forever? Why ruin their relationship? That way I'll have more opportunities!

She knew that she did this because she couldn't bear to see Meng Tao's heartbroken expression, and she was full of resentment towards David, the adulterer.

"Who is this? Why does she care about our business?" David said dissatisfiedly.

"My best friend's daughter is a nanny in my house." Nicole said.

"In response to your request, I would like to say..." Nicole continued.

"Mom, please don't agree to him, I miss Dad..." At this time, Jim's voice came from behind.

"Don't worry, my little Jim." Nicole smiled and touched Jim's head.

Then, she said to David seriously, "I'm sorry, I have to reject your kindness. These days, I have thought deeply about my marriage with my ex-husband.

There was a problem between us, but it doesn't mean I'm in love with you.

Let’s just be colleagues and friends.”

Hearing Nicole's answer, David smiled helplessly: "Okay, I was being sentimental. Then I wish you good luck."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Nicole threw the flowers David gave her into the trash can at the door.

Then he turned around and hugged his son Jim: "Don't worry."

Then, she went back into the house first.

Jim was standing at the door but did not go into the house. Instead, he walked to the trash can and took out the bouquet of flowers that his mother had just thrown in.

He took out the pen he carried with him, scribbled on the card with the bouquet of flowers, wrote something, then got on his bicycle and went out, holding the flowers.

Meng Tao, who was standing in the shadows, saw everything that happened before.

When he saw his son going out, he wanted to follow him, but his cell phone rang.

Meng Tao took out his cell phone and the caller ID showed "Nicole".

So he stopped chasing his son and answered the phone: "Nicole, what's going on?"

"Love Saint, are you hunting for girls in the bar? Are you available to answer the phone?"

At this time, Nicole was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, holding her cell phone and making a call.

Meng Tao, standing under the shade of a tree, saw her clearly through the glass.

"I'm working overtime at the company. You know, in our line of work, we're busy day and night. Is there anything wrong?" Meng Tao asked.

"The kettle at home is broken and I don't know how to fix it. Can you teach me?" Nicole asked.

Nicole's voice came from the phone, but Meng Tao could clearly see through the window that she was picking up the boiled water and pouring it into the glass.

The kettle wasn't broken at all.

If it were Meng Tao a few months ago, he might not understand what this scene meant.

But after several months in the love field, how could he not know what this kind of conversation meant?

Women always like to ask men to do them some small favors and use this method to get close to men.

For example, you can’t unscrew the cap of a beverage bottle.

Of course, asking for help fixing your computer doesn't count; that's pure scapegoating.

Therefore, Meng Tao would not be so stupid as to discuss with Nicole how to repair the kettle.

He changed the subject: "Maybe the kettle will be fine after a while. Nicole, your birthday is coming up soon. The two kids and I will help you celebrate, okay?"

"Really?! I'm so glad you wanted to come," Nicole said, pressing her hands to her face.

These days, her mood swings have been severe, her sleep quality has become very poor, and a big pimple has appeared on her face.

This must not look good, right?
Nicole still hasn't realized why she suddenly cares about this and her image in front of Meng Tao.

In the past, I didn’t care at all what Meng Tao thought of me.

She had to admit that these days she felt more and more the emptiness that Meng Tao didn't have by her side.

Although the encounter at school a few days ago was not very pleasant, I have to admit that Meng Tao, who had not seen him for a few months, was much more charming than before.

It brought her that heart-pounding feeling again.

Thinking of this, she became even more worried about the pimple on her face and couldn't help but touch it a few more times.

"Don't touch the pimples. The bacteria on your hands may cause infection and make it worse." Meng Tao couldn't help but say.

As soon as he said this, he was stunned and immediately took a few steps back and walked deeper into the shadows.

"Huh? How did you know I was touching my pimples?" Nicole asked in disbelief.

She walked to the window and looked around, but in the night there were shadows everywhere and she couldn't see anything.

"I'm still working overtime, so let's not talk about it for now. See you later on your birthday." Meng Tao didn't know how to answer and hung up the phone in embarrassment.

He didn't want Nicole to know, so he hid outside the window, looking at her back and talking to her on the phone.

This feels so weird. If they meet in this way, he feels so embarrassed that he wants to dig a hole and jump into it.

Nicole, whose phone was hung up, pushed open the door in confusion and walked out of the house, as if searching for something.

When she reached the backyard, she felt something wet on her slippered ankles.

Did anyone water the flowers and plants in the backyard?
She squatted down and touched the crystal water droplets under the light with her hand.

It was obviously just watered.

Considering the phone call just now, it is obvious who watered the plants.

This scene brought a smile to Nicole's face: "I'm really looking forward to my birthday."

……

……

At this time, Scarlett was in her room.

She carefully put on makeup, put on sexy lingerie, and began to pose in front of the camera placed on the clothes rack.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

……

She struck a dozen sexy poses, all captured with a digital camera.

There was no way, she really didn't know how to express her love to Meng Tao in person.

Maybe if I send him these sexy photos, he will understand my love and see my own charm?

Scarlett didn't know if this would work, but her friend suggested that she should do it.

After taking the photos, she printed them out using her own printer.

Seeing these photos, Scarlett couldn't help blushing:

It's really too revealing and too adult, right?
But if you look closely, there is a special youthful beauty, and the shy young girl is even more heart-warming.

I heard that older men like this kind of bud that is about to bloom?

Scarlett suddenly gained some confidence, thinking that with these photos, she should be able to win Meng Tao's heart... right?

She took out a pink envelope from the drawer, stuffed all the photos into it, and then wrote on the cover of the envelope with a watercolor pen: To my dearest Mr. Meng Tao.

After doing all this, she couldn't wait to go out and deliver the letter to Meng Tao overnight.

"Ding dong!"

At this time, the doorbell rang downstairs.

Scarlett had to put on her coat to cover her sexy underwear and come down from upstairs.

She opened the door, but found no one outside.

Looking down, I found a bouquet of flowers on the ground.

She picked up the flowers in confusion. There was a card on it that read:

You are my favorite and I dream of spending the rest of my life with you. - David (crossed out) Jim!
Seeing this scene, Scarlett was both angry and amused.

This little brat, hasn't given up on himself yet?

Did he think that he didn't see the flowers that Mr. David gave to Nicole just now?
Taking someone else's flowers and giving them to yourself, and just changing the signature on the card, how can that be so childish and ridiculous?
Scarlett felt a little strange: Jim is pursuing me, and I am going to seduce his father. Isn't this too confusing?
At least wait until I deal with Jim first and make him give up completely, then I will confess my feelings to Mr. Meng Tao.

Scarlett thought it was safer to do this.

So she went back to her room and stuffed the envelope full of photos into her closet.

She fell asleep with a sweet smile on her face, not realizing that Jim was childish and ridiculous in her eyes, but wasn't she the same in Meng Tao's eyes?

……

……

Meng Tao was walking back when the phone in his pocket rang again.

Please don’t let it be Nicole, otherwise I really don’t know what to say.

He took out his cell phone and saw that the caller was Lin Yuan. He breathed a sigh of relief but also felt lost.

"Hello? Lin Yuan, what's going on?" Meng Tao asked.

"I'm in love." Lin Yuan's voice came from the phone.

"What? Aren't you flirting with women every day? What's so strange about that?" Meng Tao said disdainfully.

"I said I met a woman I really liked, and we became boyfriend and girlfriend," said Lin Yuan.

"This girl must be very unlucky to be liked by you." Meng Tao teased with a smile.

"I'm serious this time. For her, I won't go to the bar to hunt for beauties anymore." Lin Yuan said seriously.

"Well, it seems that you are really moved this time. I wish you good luck. Tell me this, how can I help you?" Meng Tao asked.

"I'm going to meet her mother in a few days, but you know, I've never experienced such an occasion. I'm a little nervous and need your advice." Lin Yuan said.

Meng Tao thought for a moment and said, "Be sincere. As long as you don't use your bar pickup skills, her parents will accept you with a sincere heart."

"Thank you. I will show my utmost sincerity. Please wait for my good news." After saying that, Lin Yuan hung up the phone.

Meng Tao was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that Lin Yuan would actually retire and quit the world of romance.

And as a new playboy, I am also preparing to quit the love world and return to my family. The city suddenly loses two playboys. I wonder if those lonely women will miss us?

……

……

Scarlett Johansson's house on Nicole's birthday.

Mrs. Johnson took the dried clothes from the dryer, folded them carefully and sorted them.

As a housewife, she always has endless work to do, but after finishing the task at hand, she will go out.

Today is my best friend, Nicole's birthday. I will go to her house soon to help her celebrate.

When Mrs. Johnson took Scarlett's clothes and went to her room and opened the wardrobe, she found an envelope.

What is this and why is it hidden here?
Mrs. Johnson picked up the envelope curiously.

To dear Mr. Meng Tao?

Why would my daughter write to Meng Tao? Why "dear"?
Seeing this scene, Mrs. Johnson felt her heart tighten.

She opened the envelope tremblingly and pulled out the photo inside.

When photos of her daughter wearing sexy lingerie and posing in various poses appeared in front of Mrs. Johnson, she could not believe her eyes!

My beloved daughter actually has such a close relationship with Meng Tao?

No! I can't accept this!

It must be the old man Meng Tao who took the initiative to seduce my daughter!

Mrs. Johnson took the envelope and photos and immediately went downstairs, handing them to old Johnson with a grim face.

When Old Johnson saw the photo, he immediately flew into a rage: "Meng Tao, you scumbag! I know you've been a playboy lately and have played with the feelings of many women, but you actually dared to play with my daughter?
I will kill you with my own hands!"

Scarlett on the side looked confused: "Dad, what's wrong?"

"Look what you have done! I'm going to kill him!" Old Johnson angrily threw the photo in front of Scarlett.

"Dad, it's not what you imagine..."

Scarlett was about to explain, but her angry parents refused to listen.

"Shut up! Tell me where I can find Meng Tao?" Old Johnson yelled.

"I know where Meng Tao is today. He will attend Nicole's birthday party." Mrs. Johnson said.

"Okay! I'll go over and kill him right now." After saying that, old Johnson stormed out the door angrily.

"Bang!" The door was slammed hard against the door frame, making a loud noise.

It all happened so suddenly that Scarlett was stunned.

The next moment, she understood what had happened:
The sexy photos I took to express my love were discovered by my mother.

Her parents mistakenly thought that Meng Tao had seduced them, so old Johnson was about to go find Meng Tao to settle the score.

Damn it! This was an unprovoked disaster for Meng Tao.

Scarlett didn't want her lover to be hurt by her furious father.

So she immediately decided to rush over and stop her father from being exposed.

"Mom! It's not what you think! Damn it, I'm going to stop Dad!" After saying that, Scarlett also rushed out the door in a hurry.

As soon as she got outside, Scarlett heard the sound of a car engine. Old Johnson had driven away and disappeared from her sight.

In a hurry, Scarlett also got on a motorcycle and chased after him.

……

……

At this time, Nicole's birthday party at home was just about to begin.

Nicole's eyes were covered with a handkerchief, and Jim helped her walk into the yard.

Meng Tao prepared an extra-large birthday cake and birthday gifts, which were placed on the table in the yard, ready to give Nicole a surprise.

Meng Tao stepped forward and handed over a bouquet of flowers.

Nicole took it with her eyes covered. "Is this a flower? It smells so good. Let me smell it. There are jasmine, lily, and a few other scents I can't identify."

Meng Tao smiled and said, "Take off the handkerchief later and you'll see for yourself. I have a surprise for you today."

"Wait, don't tell me yet. I have a surprise for you as well," Nicole said.

"What? You also prepared a surprise for me?" Meng Tao said in disbelief.

"Well, I called and asked our daughter to come back. Our whole family is here today to celebrate this birthday together," said Nicole.

"Really?" Meng Tao was quite happy.

The eldest daughter has been very busy and he hasn't seen her for many days.

"Yes, she passed the bar exam and has a boyfriend. I'll let her out now," Nicole said.

As she spoke, the eldest daughter came out.

Meghan walked out with a smile: "Dad, long time no see."

Meng Tao did not respond, but stared at the man next to her: "Why are you here?"

Lin Yuan asked awkwardly, "I was just wondering, why are you here?"

"Huh? Do you know each other?" Nicole took off her handkerchief herself.

Megan also said, "Dad, this is my boyfriend, Lin Yuan." "No! I absolutely don't agree with you dating!" Meng Tao yelled.

"Why? Meng Tao, I think this guy is very good. He is tall, handsome and very polite." Nicole asked puzzledly.

"Dad, do you have any misunderstandings about Lin Yuan?" Megan asked.

"There is no misunderstanding! I will never allow this guy who has relationships with women in the entire district to become my son-in-law!" Meng Tao roared.

"Ah? No way? Lin Yuan is not that kind of person." Megan said.

"Shut up! Break up with me right now!" Meng Tao said.

Lin Yuan hugged Megan and said seriously, "You said that with a sincere heart, her parents would accept me. You told me this yourself!"

"What's the point of accepting this? If I had known that my daughter would be dating you, I would have come here with a gun!" Meng Tao could never accept that his daughter was with such a playboy.

"What are you talking about?"

"In the end what happened?"

Nicole and Megan asked in unison.

"I said……"

Before he could finish his words, Meng Tao was knocked to the ground by a strong figure.

"what!"

Seeing this scene, Nicole and Megan couldn't help but exclaim.

"I support your ex-wife, but you choose to seduce and harm my daughter? I'll kill you today!" Old Johnson rode on Meng Tao and shouted loudly.

Meng Tao was confused. What on earth had happened?
Why did my childhood friend, who I hadn't seen for many days and with whom I had no further ties, suddenly rush over and beat me up?

While he was half-conscious, he was hit on the face several times, and his mind became even more confused.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan rushed forward and hugged Old Johnson, trying to pull him away: "Don't bully my father-in-law!"

"Who is your father-in-law!" Meng Tao shouted from the ground.

Old Johnson turned around and punched Lin Yuan hard in the face.

"Ah! Damn it, what a hard face!"

Old Johnson, who was hit by a punch, covered his wrist and cried out in pain.

Lin Yuan turned his neck and didn't seem to feel any pain at all.

"This guy is really thick-skinned and tough. You deserve to suffer." Meng Tao complained.

"Damn it! You and your shameless son-in-law, die together!" Old Johnson, who didn't dare to punch again, picked up a chair from the side and raised it above his head.

Prepared to hit Meng Tao directly with a chair.

At this time, Scarlett finally arrived. She rushed forward with open arms and stood in front of Meng Tao.

"Get out of my way! I'm going to kill that scumbag!" old Johnson yelled.

"Dad! You misunderstood! I have a crush on Mr. Meng Tao, and I took those sexy photos myself. He doesn't know anything about it!" Scarlett shouted anxiously.

"What? Photos?" Meng Tao had no idea what was going on.

"What? Secret crush?" Old Johnson was also confused.

But his anger subsided a lot, and he put down the chair in his hand.

Old Johnson regained some of his sanity, but his youngest son Jim was shocked: "Scarlett, you have a crush on my dad?"

"You actually took some sexy photos of yourself and plan to give them to my dad? Then what am I?" Jim was so anxious that he was about to cry.

"What? You like Scarlett?" Meng Tao also felt like he was going crazy.

What kind of messed up relationship is this?
Meng Tao, Nicole, Lin Yuan, Megan, Scarlett, Old Johnson, Little Jim... The relationships between these people are a complete mess.

Just as everyone was about to sort out the relationship and decide what to do, another voice suddenly rang out:
"I heard that today is your birthday, and I want to give you a birthday present."

David walked in holding a gift.

When Meng Tao saw the "Santa Claus" who came to visit his ex-wife, his eyes turned red and he was furious.

Seeing this scene, David asked angrily, "It seems like I came at the wrong time?"

"No! You came at the right time!" Lin Yuan replied.

Just as Meng Tao was about to rush forward, Lin Yuan rushed to David first and punched him hard in the face.

"This punch is for my father-in-law! I'll let you destroy my father-in-law's family!"

Lin Yuan would certainly not miss such an opportunity to show himself and win favor.

But Meng Tao rushed forward and hugged Lin Yuan: "Who are you calling father-in-law? Let my daughter go!"

Old Johnson also rushed forward and hugged Meng Tao tightly: "You also know how to feel sorry for your daughter? Then let my daughter go first!"

After being hit hard, David came to his senses and rushed over to hug Lin Yuan angrily: "Who are you? Why did you hit me?"

"let me go!"

"Let me go!"

"No! You bastard!"

The four grown men hugged each other tightly, and no one was willing to let go.

Seeing this scene, Nicole, Megan, Scarlett and little Jim were at a loss.

Nicole took out her cell phone and dialed a number...

……

……

The camera turned, and the next moment the four men with bruised faces and noses had calmed down.

They sat obediently on a bench with two policemen standing in front of them.

"What kind of messed up relationship are you all having? It gives me a headache just listening to it." said a fat policeman.

"No more fighting. We're all acquaintances, so please talk it over properly. This time I'll simply record it as a 'family dispute' and won't take you back to the police station," said another thin policeman.

"Thank you, thank you for your trouble." Meng Tao said.

"We won't do it again." Lin Yuan also said.

"As long as he draws a line between himself and his daughter, I won't do anything," said Johnson Sr.

"I said it! I'm not interested in your daughter! I love Nicole." Meng Tao said.

"I can understand why I was beaten, but I can't understand why I was beaten by this guy," said David.

"I'm avenging my father-in-law." Lin Yuan said.

"I'm not your father-in-law!" Meng Tao shouted.

"Calm down! Don't do anything again. If you make us run again, we will definitely not let you go so easily." The thin policeman warned.

"Understood!"*4
After saying that, the two policemen left.

The remaining four men each had their own thoughts, so they left without saying anything more.

……

……

A week later, it was Jim's end-of-term ceremony.

As parents and friends, Meng Tao, Nicole, Lin Yuan, Megan, Scarlett, and Old John all attended the ceremony.

Although teacher Gwyneth resented Meng Tao, she did not vent her dissatisfaction on Jim.

When choosing a student representative to give a speech, she still chose Jim.

Because he is the bravest and has the greatest talent for speaking in front of the public.

Jim, dressed in a young man's suit, walked up to the podium.

"Today's ceremony represents the end of a semester, and it also means that a certain period of our youth is gone forever." As soon as Jim opened his mouth, he was filled with the melancholy of a teenager.

"I used to think, and really believed, that everyone has one true love. If you fight for that person with all your might, then you will definitely get your true love," Jim continued.

"But now I am sure that true love does not exist, it's all a lie!" said Jim.

Upon hearing this, the parents of the students present burst into laughter and began to discuss in low voices.

This kind of speech is really depressing and completely inconsistent with the basic values ​​of the United States.

Maybe your efforts may not necessarily get a response from your loved one, but that doesn’t mean true love doesn’t exist. American values ​​have always encouraged young people to work hard to love.

Jim's remarks will bring him into a lot of trouble.

The school will regard him as a problem child with incorrect thoughts, and in the future when he tries to apply to some prestigious universities, he may be rejected because of this record.

Faced with this situation, Nicole and Megan were of course very anxious, but they didn't know what to do.

"Please wait!"

At this time, Meng Tao stood up and walked to the podium.

Seeing Meng Tao walk to the front of the stage, Gwyneth silently gave him a middle finger, but didn't say much.

Meng Tao said seriously: "I am Jim's father. I want to correct one thing. True love does exist in this world."

"When I was 20, I met my true love. She was a ray of light in my life. She illuminated me when I was most desperate and helpless."

"She is the most important person in my life." Meng Tao looked at Nicole and said affectionately.

"I hated her."

"But after hating her, I still love her!"

"I've thought about divorcing her countless times."

"But I just think about it. I still love her!"

"I believe married couples will understand this."

Upon hearing this, the couples present burst into good-natured laughter.

Which couple has not thought about divorce?
"Jim, you have to believe that your true love will come one day. Maybe not today, but definitely tomorrow." Meng Tao said, looking at his little son.

Jim was encouraged by his father's words. He grabbed the microphone and said loudly: "I still love you! Scarlett!"

Hearing this, the parents present laughed, cheered, and applauded Jim.

Everyone looked at Scarlett with a smile, and she also laughed amid everyone's applause.

"Every time you do housework in my house, your buttocks sticking out makes my heart flutter."

"Even if you accidentally walked into my room and saw me at my most embarrassing, I would still love you."

"Every time I play mobile games, I always have your photo..."

As Jim's words became more and more outrageous, Nicole and Megan's smiles faded and their expressions became serious.

Meng Tao quickly grabbed the microphone and said loudly: "Nicole, I love you!"

At this time, Lin Yuan also rushed to the podium, picked up the microphone and shouted: "Megan, I love you!"

Led by the sincere confession of Meng Tao's family, the parents present also expressed their sincere love to their loved ones.

The entire final graduation ceremony came to a perfect end.

……

……

The ceremony ended outside the auditorium.

Jim and Scarlett stood together.

"I can't agree to your request right now, but I can try to be friends with you first, so we can get to know each other and develop feelings for each other." Scarlett said.

“But my friend said that the way you women talk about friends is just to keep a backup,” said Jim.

"So you don't agree to be friends?" Scarlett said with a cold face.

"No! It's okay for us to be friends first, but don't make me wait too long." Jim immediately backed down.

"Puchi~" Scarlett suddenly laughed out loud.

She handed over an envelope. "I'm not treating you as just an ordinary male friend, but as a potential boyfriend. This is for you. You know how to use it."

Jim opened the envelope and saw the photos...

He nodded excitedly: "What a surprise!"

After doing all this, Scarlett turned around and left, and Jim followed her without any instruction.

On the other side of the auditorium, Meng Tao stood in front of Lin Yuan and Megan with a cold face.

"As long as you mend your ways, I won't object to your relationship. But if... I hope I never have to use that hunting rifle I just bought."

Hearing Meng Tao's words, Lin Yuan smiled and nodded: "Don't worry, Megan is the best woman I have ever met."

After saying that, Megan immediately hugged Lin Yuan and the two kissed each other.

Meng Tao walked silently to Nicole's side and said, "We need to move forward. Let's make peace, okay?"

"Thank you for treating me as the one you love the most." Nicole also hugged and kissed Meng Tao.

"Cut!"

As the last scene was filmed, director Nolan called for a stop.

At this point, the filming of Meng Tao's first film "This Messy Damn Life" was completed.

The remaining work is post-editing and then preparing for release.

Lin Yuan and Meng Tao walked aside and sat down in a flower bed.

"After finishing this movie, I feel relieved," said Meng Tao.

Lin Yuan nodded, he understood Meng Tao's feelings.

It can be said that this film is his semi-autobiography and his attempt to reconcile with the past.

Like the male protagonist in the play, Meng Tao experienced his wife's infidelity, and also experienced the initial surprise and subsequent emptiness when he was indulging in other women.

The male protagonist in the drama slept with 25 women in total. How many more than 25 women has Meng Tao slept with in Hollywood in recent years?
He and Depp have been fooling around together, and he has slept with more than 100 actresses, right?

The male protagonist in the drama takes away 2 or 3 beauties at a time, but the number of Meng Tao in reality is even harder to count.

"Have you let it go completely?" Lin Yuan asked.

"Yeah, that was her only time. What about me?" Meng Tao nodded and said, "Anyway, I think I've made up for it."

"I don't understand your values. They are too European and American. I guess this movie won't be well accepted in the East," said Lin Yuan.

"Yes, according to our Chinese view, if a wife cheats on you, you must divorce her," said Meng Tao.

Lin Yuan nodded, saying that Chinese people are just like that.

Although Meng Tao is Chinese, he is from Hong Kong Island, China.

Hong Kong Island is deeply influenced by European and American culture, and its concepts on marriage and gender are quite different from those in mainland China.

Not to mention that Meng Tao has been traveling in Europe and the United States for many years and has been deeply westernized.

When it comes to matters between men and women, his views are far more open than those of the Chinese people.

Many Chinese people have a virgin complex, but this is basically non-existent in North America.

We all have rotten crotches, it's fair, no one cares about it.

Marriage is also quite different. Many people have affairs before marriage, and many continue to have affairs after marriage.

In North America, infidelity does not necessarily lead to divorce.

Therefore, in the eyes of Chinese people, this drama "This Messy Damn Life" may make them constantly complain about the male protagonist Meng Tao, and think that they can get back together like this?
Shouldn't they just get a divorce?
It's just a turtle man or something.

But when it is released in North America, the audience will take it for granted and it will not be surprising.

This cultural difference determines that "This Messy Damn Life" may not be suitable for the domestic film market.

However, the domestic film market at that time was not large enough to take over the European, American, Japanese and Korean film markets, so there was no need to worry about the box office.

Meng Tao also had another original intention in making this movie, which was to express his feelings to his wife, with whom he was not divorced but was in a cold war.

"She knows her own feelings, and I still want to reconcile with her. I hope this movie can help her understand my feelings," said Meng Tao.

Lin Yuan didn't say much, but patted his shoulder.

"I have finished rescuing the situation. If there is nothing else, I should go and do something else," Lin Yuan asked.

"Go ahead. After the post-production of this movie is completed, it should be released in mid-September, following "The Legend of Tang Dynasty."" Meng Tao said.

Hearing the schedule, Lin Yuan nodded.

By that time, not only had "The Legend of Tang" been released, but the company had also been listed.

As a newly listed company, it is at the peak of its freshness and popularity. At this time, a series of good news can stimulate and raise the stock price.

"Pirates of the Caribbean 3" will be released around early October.

This ensures that Lin Yuan's film company does not have to worry about being a hot topic during the first two months after its listing.

Although Lin Yuan's holdings have a lock-up period and he cannot cash out regardless of the stock price, a healthy stock price is definitely a manifestation of responsibility to investors.

Lin Yuan doesn't want to be criticized by shareholders and investors because of this.

After finishing the filming of "This Messy Damn Life", Lin Yuan immediately bought a plane ticket to Los Angeles.

Taylor Swift is already waiting for him to shoot the MV.

Her third album "Speak Now" has already been recorded. As long as the MV shooting is completed, she can enter the stage of preparing for release.

This album is also a very important one for Taylor Swift.

It can be said that 50% of Taylor Swift’s fans were established by her first three albums.

Many of Taylor Swift's fans' first songs came from her second album "Fearless" and third album "Speak Now".

Taylor Swift during this period was known as "Rice Noodle Head Taylor Swift" because she had golden curly hair.

Looks like a cute doll.

By the time Taylor Swift released her fourth album, "1989", she had already begun to transform into an urban beauty.

The music genre has also transformed from the original country music to urban pop.

In short, "Speak Now" is the finale of Taylor Swift's country music trilogy.

This album contains quite a lot of great songs, and the production of the MV is also a top priority.

While on the plane, Lin Yuan looked at the script in his hand with a smile.

I have to say that her practice of inserting various intimate scenes into the MV is really abusing her power for personal gain and to benefit herself.
