Huayu since 1980

Chapter 595 It's useless to give you a chance! (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

If you want to ask who is the most influential Chinese star in the world 30 years later, then Cheng Long must be a living role model.

In fact, Jackie Chen has become a symbol of China to a certain extent, especially in Hollywood. Many top movie stars are good friends with Cheng Long, and the younger generation of movie stars even regard Cheng Long as an idol. , This is made with real kung fu.

It is also the best interpretation of his acting career.

Stallone is also an action actor, and his respect for Cheng Long is also because he saw Cheng Long's filming process. For example, when Cheng Long filmed "Western Dragon", he brought his own family class. Long's family-making class didn't agree very much, but when they saw the working attitude of the family-forming class, they were deeply impressed by the family-forming class.

When Cheng Long and Wu Jianye talked on the phone before, he told Wu Jianye that many production crews are borrowing people from him now.

Nowadays, the symbol of Huaxia abroad is not only Cheng Long, but also Wu Jianye. Although Wu Jianye's reputation in Hollywood is not very good now, his reputation is higher than that of Cheng Long.

Cheng Longhuo only focuses on movies, while Wu Jianye focuses on almost all aspects.

The two chatted for a while, and Mel Gibson and other film creators also came to the hall. Obviously, the stars who came to help out at this time have almost come, and the next step is the process of the film premiere.

This is no different from the process of later generations. After talking about the shooting process for a while and talking about the hardships of shooting, the film began.

Although Wu Jianye had watched "Lethal Weapon 2" but it was only on the computer, it is also a kind of enjoyment to be able to watch this movie again in the cinema.

Watching movies in cinemas is fundamentally different from watching movies on computers and mobile phones, so even if video software and 5G become popular in the future, some movies will choose to premiere on video software, which will still not hinder the development of theaters.

Of course, ordinary 2D movies may be affected, but 3D and IMAX movies will only have more box office appeal.

The content of the movie continues the style of the previous one as always, and the plot is more absurd than the first one, but the main selling point of this movie is the playful detectives played by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover. The scolding scene, as an action movie, the big scenes of action gun battles are naturally indispensable. It can be said that as long as the standard of this movie can continue the style of the previous one, there will be no problems.

What's more, Richard Donner also upgraded the scenes of this movie, which is enough to meet the audience's expectations for this movie.

At the same time, what Wu Jianye appreciates is that in this movie, Martin Rigg, played by Mel Gibson, finally confided the story of his dead wife, and at the same time found his new lover, which made the character of Martin Rigg even more The plumpness can also resonate with the audience!

In fact, this is a consistent trick of Hollywood movies. In any type of Hollywood movie, there is no lack of love. It just depends on whether the love scene is long or short, and whether it can perfectly fit the plot of the movie.

The one who has done the most success in this respect is none other than James Cameron, whether it is "Titanic" or "Avatar".

Watching movies like "Lethal Weapon 2", you don't need to bring too much brains, as long as the 110-minute storyline brings enough refreshment to people.

That's the beauty of popcorn movies.

As the movie ended, there was applause in the theater. Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani were also applauding, but Isabel Adjani seemed a little listless.

She is not very interested in this kind of movie, in fact, it is the same as her personality, what she pursues is not a popcorn movie, but an environment that can hit people's hearts and make some people stay at home with dim lights Next, enjoy the literary film alone.

This is actually the way of survival of literary and artistic films. The success or failure of literary and artistic films has never been determined by the box office, but more by the income from video tapes. This is the main income channel for literary and artistic films.

Why is it that Wang Sunglass can still become a film master and a director that many investors are willing to invest in when almost all of his films hit the market?

It is because Wang Sunglass' films are very popular in the video tape market, coupled with the soil of European literary films, that Wang Sunglass has gained his own reputation.

But this is not absolute. For example, the film companies in Xiangjiang, they naturally know the trend of Wang Sunglasses in this regard, but why are almost no film companies willing to invest in Wang Sunglasses?

That is because the return rate of Wang Shajing's film is too slow, and there are too many uncertainties at the same time. I don't know when I invest in a Wang Shajing movie, I don't know when it will be paid back.

Then why invest in his films? With the time and money, he can invest in several films of Wang Jing.

In fact, actors like Isabel Adjani are more suitable to appear in Wang Sunglasses' films, rather than purely commercial films.

However, although literary films can bring honor to actors, they cannot bring financial satisfaction. The Hollywood goddess Scarlett Johansson actually made her debut in literary films, but why did she join the Marvel Universe later? It is because of the honor. , It is time to start chasing real money.

Filming a movie in the Marvel universe can bring Scarlett Johansson a salary of tens of millions, but if it is a literary film, then Scarlett Johansson's salary can reach 500 million, which is already at the ceiling level.

After the movie is over, it does not mean that the premiere ceremony is over. As the main creator, he will go on stage to tell the story of the filming, and at the same time invite the stars who came to help out to share their feelings.

Wu Jianye was also asked by the host how he felt after watching the movie.

"I'm very glad that I was able to sign the contract with Mel before the movie was released!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard it. Judging from the experience of watching the movie, this movie is definitely an excellent popcorn movie, which also means that the box office of this movie will not be bad. If it can be a big hit, then Mel Gibson's salary will definitely go up.

Now that Wu Jianye said that, he was naturally optimistic about the movie's box office.

After the premiere really ended, 21st Century Fox, as the producer, also held a dinner to entertain the many stars who participated in the premiere.

Mel Gibson had already arrived at Wu Jianye at this time, and personally invited Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani to their dinner party, but Wu Jianye refused. There were everyone at the dinner party, and Wu Jianye was not interested in flirting with them , might as well go back to the hotel to continue his creative career.

On the Ryan Publishing Company, Linda's mother, Dakota, is in operation. It is more than halfway to the completion of the acquisition. After the official acquisition, Wu Jianye will produce a masterpiece for Ryan Publishing.

"Then we'll see you in New York!" Mel Gibson said with a smile.

"See you in New York!" Wu Jianye shook hands with Mel Gibson.

Then Wu Jianye bid farewell to Stallone, and the two sides also left each other's contact information, agreeing to sit down when they have time.

After walking out of the Huaxia Grand Theater, Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani also left.

When Wu Jianye and others were preparing to go to New York, Lauren Donner finally found Wu Jianye, and the estate in Beverly Hills was finally finished.

Wu Jianye brought Zhao Fei, Chen Kaige, Tan Yang and others to the manor.

There is a big "Wu" character on the iron gate of the manor in the center. As soon as the gate opened, everyone's motorcade drove into the manor.

"Fuck, Old Wu, you can do it, this place is so awesome!" After arriving at the parking lot, Zhao Fei couldn't help exclaiming.

If Zhao Fei was only surprised by the luxury of the manor, Chen Kaige, who has been in Hollywood for more than a year, was shocked by Wu Jianye's financial resources!
Once upon a time, he also asked about the house price here, but the answer he got from Honghuang shocked him very much. Now Wu Jianye actually owns his own real estate here, and it is the most luxurious type here. How could it be possible? Don't let Chen Kaige be shocked.

"Mr. Wu, is it this way to make money in China now by making movies?" Hong Huang also came here today, and now she is still obsessed with Chen Kaige, although she knows that Chen Kaige no longer treats herself like before, but still I hope that through my own efforts, I can win back the heart of this great director!
Wu Jianye smiled: "Actually, when you return to China, you can also buy a few more houses. From Los Angeles, you can actually see the domestic housing prices in the future. Now the domestic development is developing rapidly, and you can own a house of your own. It is a tradition of the Chinese people, and I believe that domestic housing prices will rise rapidly in the future!"

Although Chen Kaige hasn't been in the country for more than a year, it doesn't mean he doesn't know the situation in the country, and said: "Let's talk about it in the past time!"

Then everyone came to visit the villa, and the luxurious setting inside also surprised everyone.

Zhao Fei even shouted: "It doesn't matter, I have to live here tonight, who wants to stay in a hotel when there is such a good place!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said nothing, the room here is enough for these people to live in.

In the end, it was Hong Huang who suggested having a BBQ by the swimming pool at night. Naturally, no one objected to Hong Huang's suggestion, but Wu Jianye asked his servants to prepare it.

In the manor, there are not only servants who are responsible for the daily life and maintenance of the manor, but Wu Jianye hired a housekeeper based on Lauren Donner's suggestion.

Although Wu Jianye will stay in the United States for the past two years, to be honest, the time in Hollywood may not be very long, and it is good to have someone take care of this place.

When night fell, everyone had already changed their clothes and sat by the outdoor swimming pool, and began to BBQ. The weather in Los Angeles is like spring all year round. Even now in July, it still doesn’t feel stuffy.

Several people sat together, holding beer bottles in their hands, chatting casually.

"This is how people live!" Zhao Fei exclaimed, wearing a pair of big pants and a flowered shirt, holding a beer bottle in his hand.

Tan Yang laughed beside him and said, "Brother Fei, wouldn't it be better to have another beautiful woman by your side!"

Zhao Fei nodded: "It's still Tan Yang who wins my heart!"

Wu Jianye laughed beside him and said, "Even if I find it for you, you're useless!"

Zhao Fei said angrily: "Who said that, it will be tomorrow."

Having said that, he saw Hong Huang sitting next to Chen Kaige, so he shut up and didn't say anything more.

Although Zhao Fei didn't finish his sentence, Hong Huang vaguely guessed something, but at this moment, he could see Hong Huang's character, he didn't get angry directly like ordinary women, but said to Zhao Fei with a smile.

"If you want beauties, I can find some for you. I'm afraid you won't be able to do it then!"

Zhao Fei's face flushed slightly, he and Hong Huang had more connections through Chen Kaige, now that the relationship between Chen Kaige and Hong Huang, Zhao Fei naturally couldn't refute anything.

Wu Jianye has always looked down on this kind of people who can only play tricks.

Now that Hong Huang is here, Wu Jianye won't talk about Chen Kaige, but that doesn't mean Wu Jianye will let Zhao Fei go.

"It's not too shameful for Hong Huang to introduce you. Why don't you bring me a few, and you can try again. Maybe you can do it this time?" Wu Jianye purposely made the content unclear. , which made Zhao Fei's face even more rosy.

"Old Wu, it's so easy for you to have no friends!" Zhao Fei said through gritted teeth.

Wu Jianye chuckled, and then asked Hong Huang: "What are Zun Long and Chen Chong doing now?"

Chen Chong participated in the filming of Cheng Long's "Western Dragon" before. Although he was also an artist managed by Hera, Wu Jianye didn't ask about their current itinerary.

The platform Wu Jianye has already set up for them, as for how it will develop in the future, it depends on their own abilities.

Hong Huang said enviously: "What can you do? The two are now in a relationship and they are very close. I called a while ago and heard that they are on vacation in Hawaii. Now I don't know where they are?"

Wu Jianye said: "Call and ask, if you are in Los Angeles, let them come over too, it will be more lively if there are more people."

Hong Huang immediately showed a smile. Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige, Zhao Fei and others were classmates, and most of the topics they talked about were school days. Many times, Hong Huang couldn't talk at all, while Zunlong, Chen Kaige and others were classmates. Chong was different, they had lived in the United States for many years, and they had more common topics. Now that Wu Jianye invited them to come over, they immediately took out their phone and called Chen Chong.

What made Hong Huang happy was that the two of them had indeed returned to Los Angeles, and immediately told them the location of this place, telling them to hurry over here.

More than 30 minutes later, the two drove here.

"Director Wu, long time no see!" Chen Chong said to Wu Jianye with a smile, while Zun Long nodded gracefully.

After the two sat down, Chen Chong said, "I originally wanted to visit Director Wu tomorrow, but luckily Hong Huang called us!"
