Full-time actor

Chapter 478 [43] Zou Wenhuai, times have changed!

"Did you notice that no one congratulated Mr. Xing after he won the award?"

On the way back to the hotel after supper, Liu Yifei put her hands in her pockets and walked around to eat with Chen Yu.

The two of them were walking back home. There shouldn't be many paparazzi at night or early in the morning. Even if they were photographed, it wouldn't really matter. After all, the two of them didn't hold hands and looked very intimate; it was like they were walking with friends.

It is said that the paparazzi in Xiangjiang are very perverted, so of course Chen Yu has to be careful, even if it is already after 1 o'clock in the morning; but many media magazines in Xiangjiang are exposed in the middle of the night.

These guys didn't seem to need to sleep, so they deliberately chose the "weakest" moment.

"This is normal, because he offended Xiangjiang's capital!"

Chen Yu almost didn't tell her that you were like this in your previous life. Zhou Xingchi rejected Xiang Jia and you rejected Huayi.

But Liu Yifei is not as powerful as Zhou Xingchi, so she was kept in cold storage for several years.

"I heard about it. It seems that Xiang Jia was said to be ungrateful or something..."

"No, I'm afraid you will be like this one day!"

"The two met Zou Wenhuai. Mr. Zou is doing big things. Although he is also a capitalist, he is willing to give up some of his own interests. CAA has learned from his model!"

Chen Yu's face turned serious and he said: "Throw dirty water, keep your relatives and friends away, isolate him, and let him quit voluntarily!"

It ushered in an era of unprecedented prosperity for the Hong Kong film industry.

"Besides, Huaxia Audio-Visual can't touch me. It won't do anyone any good to break my skin. He can't do it so that all of China can ban me?"

Chen Yu shrugged and did not take her words to heart: "Of course, the most unhappy one is the Xiang family who once owned him among the ten families. This is not just a simple loss of money, but a shake of the foundation!"

Liu Yifei still doesn't quite understand the muddy waters here.

"There are many artists among the ten companies. If you don't help, you won't be able to make any money. If you help by saying a bad word about Zhou Xingchi, the boss will re-employ you. Would you like to do it instead?"

What is the difference between this and joining the national army in 49?
"By the way, you just said that you and Master Xing are different, and you haven't told me why yet?"

It's normal for Liu Yifei to be worried. Chen Yu gave her a slap on the head: "No, my situation with Master Xing is still different!"

"Why is it different?"

Producer system.

"Don't do it!"

Chen Yu made a rare joke, but this time Liu Yifei felt the same way: "So... that's it."

"Otherwise, why would anyone want to be an artist in Jiahe?"

"What is the most important thing in the 21st century? Talent!"

"It's not that simple. Xiang Jia is just the trigger!"

She understood somewhat.

"It's a pity that Jiahe can't do it now!"

Liu Yifei is not as arrogant now as she was during the interview. She still lowered her voice and said it. It turned out that she was quite gossipy.

In the past, Jiahe had connections in Hollywood. When Bruce Lee passed away at the height of his power, he could quickly find Cheng Long to replace him; but now, Jiahe himself is no longer good. If Chen Yu is not a reborn person, he may be able to help Jiahe survive, but... , he knew the decline of Jiahe.

Chen Yu didn't think much about it: "I'm not sure, maybe, Zou Wenhuai still wants to fight to the death, but times have changed!"

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei, who was expecting him to say something, and couldn't help but smile: "Why are you so interested in Hong Kong?"

Liu Yifei knew that Zou Wenhuai was looking for him.

Liu Yifei had a rare opportunity to discuss these issues with Chen Yu. They mainly attended an awards ceremony, and she discovered a lot of interesting things; the Golden Rooster in the Mainland is better, and Xiangjiang is really full of small circles. I didn't realize that it is such a big place, and it is an entertainment circle. They are all fighting to the death.

"That's why Jiahe wants to cooperate with you?"

Liu Yifei imitated the tone of Young and Dangerous, but Chen Yu found it interesting and laughed: "That definitely won't work. After all, it's back, but it's not the 90s!"

What Liu Yifei actually wanted to say was why Zhou Xingchi was so unpopular at the award ceremony.

Liu Yifei has such an upright character.

Liu Yifei smoothed her long hanging hair and suddenly glanced at Chen Yu. She was mainly worried about her boyfriend. How uncomfortable would it be if one day he was like Master Xing?
"The mainland market is huge, but it's not even saturated. The Xiangjiang market is already saturated!"

"It's not that Jiahe is failing, it's Xiangjiang Film that's failing!"

"Did him!"

Chen Yu looked at Liu Yifei and said calmly: "Originally, 10 people were sharing the cake, and suddenly one more person was added. The key is that this guy is very strong. He was just a junior before, but now everyone knows that he has made it big, and it will be difficult for all ten families. You What do you think these ten companies will do?”

"But Cheng Long and Bruce Lee are different!"

"In other words, the world's economy has risen, and the market determines quality!"

"Zou Wenhuai agreed that leading stars and directors would participate in box office sharing, which increased the salaries of artists throughout Hong Kong several times!"

"If you can't do it in the light, then you can only do it in the dark!"

She was isolated by Yang Mi and others at later award ceremonies, but it was actually the same.

"When Master Xing set out to work independently, for many film and television companies in Hong Kong, it was an act of grabbing food from the tiger's mouth!"

"Is it?"

"In the past, millions of dollars were invested in a movie in Hong Kong, and Japan, South Korea and even Hollywood could get a lot of box office; but now, the investment is getting bigger and bigger, the market competition is strong, and there is no pillar to support it, of course. Getting weaker and weaker!"

Chen Yu felt no pressure at all: "Master Xing had only one way to go in the mainland, and he was not familiar with it and had no way out; now I am in Hollywood, Japan, no matter how bad it is in Xiangjiang, I can still get along. Look at Cheng Long, he is completely different from Master Xing." Two different lives!”

Chen Yu still takes a long-term view on this point.

Not to mention that the path he took is similar to that of Cheng Long and Jet Li, but there are similarities.

In the previous life, Liu Yifei was actually similar to Zhou Xingchi.

She offended Huayi, who was at the height of her power, and was directly banned. The current China Audio and Video cannot do this. When she was desperate, she could only go to Hong Kong. However, the decline of Hong Kong in 09 was not just a little bit, and Liu Yifei had no choice. Go, that's all.

The main attempts to test the waters in Japan and South Korea also failed.

“In the final analysis, you still have to have audience popularity!”

"No matter how hard the capital suppresses you, if you have an audience, you can always rise up; if you are afraid that you will offend the audience, then really, it will be useless for the capital to praise you!"

"So, even if the whole world bans me and I'm in the same situation as Mr. Xing, our hearts are still satisfied!"

This is also Zhou Xingchi’s philosophy of life.

He has been in the dark for so many years, but he has never stood up and said a word. It's not that he is generous and fat, but that for this kind of thing, seeking mutual quarrels with the media will only hurt both sides.

Only by not responding can the largest fundamental market be stabilized.

Being less exposed to the media can give the audience the greatest imagination; this is also the reason why many artists do not appear in variety shows.

Once he says the wrong thing or does the wrong thing, he may inexplicably offend his fans.

In their previous lives, Liu Yifei and Zhou Xingchi were the two artists who handled the dirty stuff best.

"I think you are right!"

"I just need to protect my fans!"

Liu Yifei looked a little moved by Chen Yu, but Chen Yu smiled and said: "When our relationship is made public, can you say this again?"

"Ha ha!"

"Can't we have fans who like both of us?"

Liu Yifei was quite open-minded. After all, she was still young and had little experience; let her watch Liu Dehua and learn.

"Yes, there are many, that is our basic base!" "And the audience who really like us will not slander their artists' love..."

Chen Yu said very insincerely.

In fact, he could imagine that scene.

Forget about future generations, it would be strange if the fans don’t hate you to death. Didn’t you watch the official announcement between Lu Han and Princess, and you were almost driven to the point of being autistic? !

Of course, the response from the media and fans after Chen Yu and Liu Yifei got together should be similar to the official announcement of Kimura Takuya and Kudo Shizuka. Their careers suffered a devastating blow, and it took several years to gradually recover. Kudo Shizuka directly became a full-time housewife.

But this is Japan, and Kimura Takuya is a company artist, and there is no crisis public relations. He explained to the company that it was a sudden thunderstorm.

At present, many fans of Chen Yu and Liu Yifei have begun to believe in them, and they also have blessings; however, many extreme fans who love each other will not be able to bear it by then.

There are quite a lot of people in this group.

Chen Yu was already prepared to be fucked by these guys; while other fans and viewers were watching the work.

I was unhappy for a while, but if the final work turns out to be brilliant, I will slowly forgive them both.

"Let's go quickly, my mother is waiting impatiently!"

Chen Yu didn't want to get involved with Liu Yifei on this issue. There are many fans who live or die.

Liu Dehua almost knelt down without looking at him, so for this kind of thing, he could only take it one step at a time.

"Who is your mother? Be careful if my mother hears it and beats you!"

"I tested it yesterday, but it didn't hit me!"

"Once or twice is nothing. If you talk too much, she will definitely have an idea!"

"..."

The two chatted noisily all the way, and finally returned to the hotel and fell asleep separately.

This night, Chen Yu gave her a good prevention lesson.

***
Chen Yu slept until almost noon the next day when he received a call from Li Xiangning.

Zou Wenhuai was worthy of being the most virtuous and respected boss in the entire Hong Kong circle. He did not call Chen Yu, but sent someone to pick up Li Xiangning, and also picked up Chen Yu by the way, which gave the two people face.

"Ms. Li!"

Chen Yu got into the business car arranged by Zou Wenhuai and said hello to Li Xiangning in the car.

"Chan, don't you think Ms. Li is a bit raw?"

Li Xiangning smiled and said to Chen Yu, still in Cantonese, although she didn't speak well: "You can call me Shannon, or Xiangning, my English name is Shannon Emery Lee!"

"Shannon!"

Chen Yu gave her a high-five, and Li Xiangning shrugged and smiled happily, looking a little bold.

She looked very different from when I met her last night.

If she didn't have the identity of Bruce Lee's daughter, she would probably just be a very ordinary Chinese, but... just because she was Bruce Lee's daughter, it was destined that she would be different from others from the moment she was born.

She actually never met Bruce Lee.

Because when her father passed away, Li Xiangning was only 4 years old and didn't remember anything at all.

However, her brother Li Guohao inherited Bruce Lee's mantle since he was a child, and Bruce Lee was his only son.

However, Li Guohao, who had practiced martial arts since childhood and was more handsome than Bruce Lee, died more miserably than Bruce Lee.

The death of his father Bruce Lee when he was 8 years old was a big blow to Li Guohao. From then on, he devoted himself to martial arts and became an actor along the path of his father. He also had high martial arts attainments. Although he could not compare with Bruce Lee, he was still a very good actor. Awesome star.

Hollywood producers are very convinced that the void left by Bruce Lee will be filled by his son. Everyone is optimistic about Li Guohao's great future.

Of course, in Hollywood, everything is about money. What they are interested in is his commercialization and his identity as Bruce Lee's son.

However, Li Guohao was very ambitious and entered the film school to study production, during which he also studied acting.

He even refused many auditions for Hollywood blockbusters and instead acted in some low-cost movies to hone his acting skills. Like his father, he came to Hong Kong.

In this way, he gradually entered Hollywood. In 93, Lee ushered in his breakthrough film-"The Crow"!
Chen Yu personally likes this action film, which cost 1400 million US dollars. It is also the film with the largest investment by Li Guohao since he started acting.

He meticulously completed every difficult action required by the director, but——

Just as he was nearing the end of filming, due to the negligence of the prop master, the props suddenly went off, and the prop gun accidentally fired a real bullet. Li Guohao was hit by the live bullet during the filming, and died of severe abdominal bleeding and serious injuries.

28 years old all year round!
Originally, everyone was optimistic about his future, but Li Guohao died.

His death was more sudden than Bruce Lee's.

His death also made Bruce Lee's tragedy repeat itself again, and a rising kung fu star passed away in an instant.

When the bad news came out, the world was shocked.

In particular, Chinese communities in Hong Kong, Taiwan, the United States and around the world reacted strongly.

The media reported this sad news one after another, and traced and discussed the real cause of Li Guohao's death.

The next day, after an autopsy, the doctor announced that Li Guohao was hit by a .0.44 bullet.

Therefore, the first rumor was that of murder, and the first "suspect" was of course the actor Michael Macey who fired the gun.

Then came the prop masters and stuntmen... They all had motives for committing the crime, but in the end they were all released directly due to lack of evidence.

This incident of gunfire has become an unsolved case in the world.

Many people think it was murder, but the United States insists it was an accident. Until now, no one knows the cause of Li Guohao's death.

In this way, Bruce Lee's only son also died an unexpected death, which was very similar to Bruce Lee's fate.

"The Crow" has also become Li Guohao's legacy. This is an extremely classic Gothic movie. It was well received after its release. Many Bruce Lee fans in later generations feel that if Li Guohao plays the clown, it will definitely be a classic.

Because Eric Draven, the male protagonist of "The Crow", looks very similar to the Joker, and his temperament is basically the same.

But unfortunately, there is no if in this world.

Compared with his brother Li Guohao, the Li Xiangning in front of him was much worse.

She has also made movies and practiced martial arts, but she has not done anything big. She even participated in the Hollywood big-budget movie "Blade Runner", but in the end she still did not become popular.

After that, she completely gave up the idea of ​​making movies, and instead began to promote Bruce Lee's culture, brand and spirit, and promote his martial arts secrets.

On the contrary, this allowed her to successfully become a businessman.

This time she actually wanted to make a biopic of her father, Bruce Lee.

Zou Wenhuai's intention was to make a series of movies starring Chen Yulai, and the three parties would work together to film it; but Li Xiangning was a little unsure. He actually contacted several mainland film and television companies, especially CCTV, who were also very interested in this IP. .

Looking at Chen Yu in front of her, Li Xiangning actually had no objections to the choice of this protagonist.

Although Chen Yu is handsomer and taller than Bruce Lee, his facial features are still similar; with makeup, there is no problem in achieving a similar look.

The key reason why Li Xiangning thinks Chen Yu can master the role of her father is Chen Yu's acting skills and martial arts skills.

The imitation show is the simplest in her opinion.

But to achieve a realistic performance, it depends on the actor's own strength.

There is no doubt that Chen Yu is satisfied with such strength.

The car was speeding all the way in Central, and soon they arrived at the lunch venue arranged by Zou Wenhuai this time, a very old-fashioned Hong Kong-style restaurant.
