Chapter 272: Unexpected Encounter with the 'Black Robe
I must admit, it was a bit impulsive.
Seeing Scarlett's reaction, it seems not impulsive enough.
It's quite contradictory.
But Zhou Mo Sen couldn't go further.
After all, we've only known each other for a short time.
Actually, the interesting one is Scarlett.
This girl now seems enchanted, she's becoming increasingly interested in mysterious things.
"This Descent Sect..."
"No way!"
Zhou Mo Sen now seems like a domineering CEO.
Scarlett... inexplicably felt it was quite nice.
But actually, this girl is curious.
"Why are you so domineering?"
"The point is, it's not possible."
"Could it be, you and this Descent Sect... actually, I heard some rumors before."
"You weren't already recruited by them, were you?"
"Definitely not!"
"Then why are you so proactive?"
"I'm just very curious, so do you want to tell me?"
"Tell what?"
"About the Descent Sect, I see the way you look, you seem to know a lot."
This girl really made Zhou Mo Sen somewhat helpless but inexplicably found her very interesting.
Actually, thinking carefully, it seems Scarlett Johnson gives others the feeling that:
She had no adolescence.
From an individual's point of view, that's simply impossible.
But she's an actress, a star.
This makes it quite possible.
Like the character she played in "Lost in Tokyo."
Obviously only 19 years old, but gives a strong feeling of a mature wife.
Indeed, anyone ignoring her real age would feel she is a mature woman.
And the later roles...
Actually, there are also some youthful girl roles, but again gives the feeling she's quite mature.
Until the Black Widow character came along.
That particularly strong wife vibe role, although that character often gives a refreshing, competent impression.
But actually, the character's style is known to those who know.
Even in the comics, Black Widow is a flirtatious woman who's seen many.
Even had encounters with Hulk... this big green stick is rougher than black and white sticks.
Alright, that's comics and movies.
But back to Scarlett herself, she truly gained a lot of popularity thanks to Black Widow.
Take many previous roles.
Like the "Escape from Clone Island" that Zhou Mo Sen particularly emphasized.
It's very likely that when mentioning this film, many movie fans don't realize Scarlett Johnson starred in it.
She really is the female lead, but the female lead's presence in this movie is very low.
Moreover, she had long blonde hair in the movie, which did not highlight her real strengths.
But speaking of this film, it truly can't be underestimated.
First, it's directed by Michael Bay.
Though fans always like to criticize Michael Bay, saying his films are just explosions without brain cells.
Michael Bay is definitely one of the top directors in Hollywood, and currently still one of the top earners.
His past achievements are almost legendary, like "Bad Boys", "Earth-Shattering", "Pearl Harbor"... a series of blockbuster hits.
Then look at the male lead of "Escape from Clone Island."
Ewan McGregor.
A superstar in Hollywood, a member of the 20-million-dollar club.
He taught Skywalker before, even told Skywalker not to be in high places...
McGregor is certainly at his peak, considered particularly capable of drawing box office.
Finally, look at this film's company.
It's a DreamWorks production, meaning it's an independently produced blockbuster.
Blockbuster, independently produced, only DreamWorks can manage nowadays.
But later the film's distribution rights were sold to Warner.
This is normal in Hollywood, it's not an unusual matter.
After all, even a super blockbuster like "Titanic" had Fox's side lacking confidence back then, resulting in selling its distribution rights to Paramount before release.
Alright, this distribution rights deal is an infamous silly transaction in film history.
Can only say Fox's people had mental issues, and Paramount got a massive bargain.
But speaking of "Escape from Clone Island."
This movie can be said to be the most anticipated blockbuster of the year.
And such a blockbuster, once released...
Zhou Mo Sen is not a film buff, but he vaguely remembers.
This movie couldn't be said to be particularly successful, rather relatively a failure.
Seems like it only brought in over a hundred million US Dollars at the box office, based on Zhou Mo Sen's news.
This movie's production cost exceeded 100 million US Dollars.
Estimate later DreamWorks really couldn't sustain anymore, had to sell out to survive, directly related to this blockbuster's failure.
Speaking of Scarlett, it's very simple.
Hardly anyone remembers the movie was starred by Black Widow.
And now...
Actually, Zhou Mo Sen feels Scarlett probably doesn't have much confidence in this movie.
Though an actor likely wouldn't see how their movie turned out, they generally have a sense.
Likely because of such a mental state, Scarlett started thinking of crooked solutions.
And thus kept entangling Zhou Mo Sen.
So, how to solve this matter?
Zhou Mo Sen now explains various conditions of the Descent Sect to Scarlett, of course, just kept ridiculing, saying it's a messy cult, utterly unreliable.
And Dr. Zhou internally pondered how to make this Scarlett more normal.
This matter is really hard to handle.
After all, this girl herself doesn't want to be normal.
"Why the more I listen to you, the better I feel about the Descent Sect?"
"What?"
Zhou Mo Sen almost broke down.
Scarlett surely did it deliberately.
But Scarlett truly desired a unique solution.
"Seems like going to see the Sect Leader's sermon would be quite interesting, right."
This...
Zhou Mo Sen really didn't want to deal with her, but his eyes glanced at her curves beneath the down coat.
"Just drop that idea."
Zhou Mo Sen felt Scarlett was his patient and he couldn't easily give up.
Although there weren't many good ideas, it should be possible to find a way.
Hmm, Black Widow can't perform now, but how about trying something else?
The two chatted like this, with slight debates, and it was quite fun.
Yet they had already descended the mountain, below was Park City, the Sundance Film Festival.
A film festival mainly showcases many movies, naturally bringing many filmmakers.
And this time the Descent Sect's presence gave a 'promotion' piece to many filmmakers.
While Zhou Mo Sen and Scarlett were chatting, they accidentally bumped into a man.
"Hey! What are you doing!"
"Sorry."
This was a simple contact, but the other party seemed a bit distracted.
He was looking at Descent Sect's pamphlet.
Zhou Mo Sen hadn't said anything yet, but Scarlett directly asked, "Are you interested in this too?"
What happened?
Did they just find a kindred spirit?
Yet the man suddenly spoke.
"This stuff is bullshit!"
Bullshit... literally should be cow feces.
These words made Zhou Mo Sen feel a lot better, but he never expected what the man said next.
"If I were to do it! Sure would be more impressive than this Descent Sect! I'd let the world feel an unprecedented spiritual impact! I want them to see humanity's true bottom line!"
Huh? This guy...
"You are..." Zhou Mo Sen curiously asked.
And this guy straightforwardly introduced himself, "I'm Garth Ennis, making movies with friends, but I prefer drawing comics."
Comics?
Zhou Mo Sen seemed to suddenly recall this person, asked more.
"The comics you draw... DC? Marvel?"
This is a very normal question in the United States, because here only these two are the biggest.
But Garth Ennis surprisingly got furious, "They're all bullshit!"
More bullshit?
Then, "How could those superheroes all be like that? Don't they have a darker side? Don't they think about f*cking something?"
???
Zhou Mo Sen first had a face full of questions, but immediately thought of!
Perhaps it's "The Boys"?
If it's this, then it seems this Scarlett girl could be arranged somehow.
