How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 21 [The Man in Black] and Will Smith

In fact, Li Xiaolong is not only the idol of Will Smith alone, but among the black people in the 80s and [-]s, there are very few blacks who do not worship Li Xiaolong.

No way, white policemen of later generations like to empty their magazines as a polite response when they see black people putting their hands in their pockets.

The attitude of the current white policemen when they see black people is obviously not much more civilized than later.

And it's not just white policemen, most white people in North America look at black people with colored glasses.

In such an environment full of contempt, Li Xiaolong used a more despised identity to open up a world with his fists, which really fits the appetite of black people.

So the element of kung fu is very popular among black people.

Especially Will Smith, who later asked his son to recognize his elder brother Chenglong as godfather.

It can be said that Will Smith has utilitarian considerations.

But there are so many action superstars in North America, Schwarzenegger, Stallone...why did he choose Chenglong?
"Eh... it's a weakened version of kung fu!" Facing Will Smith's question, Zhang Nan was a little embarrassed.

He couldn't say that he was playing the eighth set of radio gymnastics, wouldn't that be too low. (It’s definitely not the eighth set at this time, but this is what I danced when I was young, let’s just make a meme, don’t take it too seriously)

"Is it difficult?" Will Smith became interested.

Difficulty is definitely not difficult, after all elementary school students can learn it in a few strokes, Zhang Nan shook his head.

"That taught me, I am very interested in kung fu."

Zhang Nan said hesitantly: "This may be different from the kind of kung fu you imagined. It has no power and can only be used to move the body."

"That's okay, it's just kung fu, I don't pick it." Will Smith said it doesn't matter.

Now that Will Smith has said so, Zhang Nan can't justify hiding his secrets. He really doesn't know how to do real kung fu, so he can only teach this.

So on the set of "Men in Black", a magical scene appeared.

A Chinese is teaching black people to do radio gymnastics.

After some hands-on teaching, Will Smith quickly mastered the essentials of the eighth set of radio gymnastics.

"Will, you have good qualifications!" Zhang Nan boasted fiercely.

After hearing this, Will Smith shook his arms and thighs even more vigorously, and said proudly and modestly: "Hey, maybe it's because I played hip-hop, rap, and hip-hop since I was a child, so I learned it faster. "

As a black man in North America, if you want to go up and make a lot of money, there are three ways:

The first one is to reincarnate well, to find a rich family to be born, to do business or to be in politics.

The second is that if you play well in the economy of sports such as rugby and basketball, you will be famous for playing games.

Finally, there is hip-hop rap.

As for other ways to make money, it's not that there are no other ways to make money, but that the risks are too great.

Gangsters, smuggling, etc.

It is easy to walk on the road one day, and after being seen by the police in a bad mood, the magazines are emptied by a wave, and they are politely taken away.

Will Smith belongs to the reincarnation technology is not bad, the parents belong to the middle class, so that he can afford to go to school.

However, it is too difficult for blacks to learn something famous in North American schools.

Being despised and excluded by white classmates, and not being dragged down by black classmates.

It is more difficult to step on a horse than to learn scriptures, how can ordinary people make it through.

Will Smith is quite clever. He got in touch with rap early on, and then signed a contract with a brokerage company. After releasing a few albums, he gained some fame, and then moved to the film and television industry. He is an amphibious star of film and song.

It can be said that the debut and development route of traffic stars such as a certain Kunkun in the mainland of later generations is based on the template of superstars like Will Smith.

So the road of traffic stars is actually feasible, and international superstars can also be produced.

It just depends on the ability of the person.

obviously.

The bunch of traffic stars in the mainland in the later generations are rarely able to meet the standards, so that they don't understand domestic entertainment, let alone go out of Asia and rush to the world.

After Zhang Nan and Will Smith played a few sets of radio gymnastics, they saw the director Barry Sonnenfeld coming. They didn't hold back, but pulled the director over to practice together.

At this time, the status of Zhang Nan and Will Smith is considered to be at the same level.

One is a new Hollywood kung fu star, and the other is a Hollywood niche.

The latter may be higher. It is at the top of this tier, after all, it is amphibious, while Zhang Nan has just stabilized.

However, when "Independence Day" was released in July and raked in more than 8 million U.S. dollars worldwide, Zhang Nan couldn't compare with Will Smith.

At that time, Will Smith was basically in the top position among Hollywood actors.

But it's not there yet.

And the director Barry Sonnenfeld is not to mention compared with Will Smith at that time.

Even now, director Barry Sonnenfeld, who has no representative work and no strong nepotism, is inferior to Zhang Nan and Will Smith's status in the crew at this time.

Coupled with the fact that Hollywood is moving towards the producer system, the status of ordinary directors in the crew is really not as high as that of popular stars.

So Zhang Nan and Will Smith are really not afraid of director Barry.

"What's going on?"

A serious shout interrupted the exercise rhythm of the three of them.

Zhang Nan and Will Smith immediately lowered their heads after hearing the reputation.

Because it is not others who speak, but the producer.

And the producer's name is unusual, his name is - Steven Spielberg.

Hollywood's top directors.

A "Jurassic Park" in 92 swept the world, laying the foundation for Hollywood films to dominate the international film scene.

It can be said that what Steven Spielberg has done for Hollywood is what Zhang Nan wants to do for the Chinese film and television industry in the future.

And with a soft shout, after calling to stop the two people who were dragging the director around while the crew was not working, Steven Spielberg slowly walked up to several people.

"Producer..."

Director Barry was still thinking about what to say.

But the title didn't finish, and was interrupted by producer Steven Spielberg with a wave of his hand.

"The filming is about to start, go get ready! We need to speed up the progress today."

Director Barry shrank his neck, left Zhang Nan and Will Smith and left without looking back.

Although he is the director in the crew, when he saw the producer Steven Spielberg, he was really scared, just like a student is afraid of a teacher.

In fact, during filming, as long as Spielberg was present, director Barry's heart was hanging.

I have no choice but to suspend that Spielberg really knows how to make movies, and he is also very accomplished. It can be seen that the shots shot by director Barry are not good enough and the quality is good.
