The flashbulbs started snapping away at the people in front of them.

Schwarzenegger's popularity is undeniable in the United States, and he is a well-known figure worldwide.

Besides his on-screen persona in "The Terminator," he also has another well-known identity: the governor of California.

Chen Yu is currently in Los Angeles, which is the second largest city in California.

Schwarzenegger is currently still in office.

In other words, he is the highest-ranking official in this region.

"Next, let's welcome our final mystery guest for today!"

Chen Yu raised an eyebrow and looked over.

These guests have an immense influence.

This is already the strongest lineup so far.

Liu Yifei was naturally somewhat surprised.

Normally, she wouldn't have the chance to meet these people at all.

It's not that there's a difference in status, it's just that people like Stallone or Schwarzenegger are already quite old.

Unless it's a particularly important occasion, there's virtually no way to see them.

Just as everyone was wondering who would appear next, Sylvester Stallone got out of the car.

Sylvester Stallone!
A representative of tough guys worldwide.

“Ohhhhhh~~~”

The entire audience erupted in thunderous applause.

This is also a legend.

First Blood and Rocky are popular all over the world.

In the 80s, he was more famous than Schwarzenegger.

In fact, Chen Yu had met not only Schwarzenegger but also Stallone several times, so they were actually acquainted.

We were just acquaintances, though we'd chatted backstage at the Golden Globes and Oscars.

Wow! Sylvester!

"May I ask what brings you to today's premiere?"

The host's question made Stallone stop in his tracks.

"As everyone knows, Bruce Lee is a kung fu superstar I greatly respect!"

"I think he is a pioneer, master and legend of martial arts. He really opened the door to Hollywood for kung fu stars."

“I have great respect for him.”

"Similarly, I'm more interested in the actor who plays Bruce Lee."

"He's really amazing!"

The answer is like a magic bullet.

In fact, he was able to come because of the power of capital.

Although New Line is on the verge of bankruptcy, it's still a giant, and besides, it has Warner Bros. backing it up.

Shea went bankrupt, but he still had shares in Warner Bros.; he only lost control of New Line Cinema.

So when Stallone said that, the audience burst into applause again.

Mutual praise among professionals is a normal phenomenon in any situation.

Furthermore, Chen Yu has indeed reached the level of a Chinese superstar.

"Hi, my old friend, it's been a long time!"

Robert Shea was the first to greet them.

Stallone hugged him and also saw Chen Yu standing to the side.

“Sylvester, this is Heal Chan!”

Chen Yu smiled and introduced Liu Yifei to Sylvester Stallone.

"Chan, it's a pleasure to meet you!"

"I watched the trailer for 'Bruce Lee,' and wow, you brought him to life!"

Sylvester Stallone embraced Chen Yu, the new generation of international kung fu superstar, whose fame has already spread throughout the world.

Even he was impressed by Chen Yu's action scenes.

The two seemed to have met too late in life.

"You are the most bankable person I have ever met."

"I heard that in China alone, it has already reached a box office of 100 million US dollars in just three days."

"If the opportunity arises, I think we should consider collaborating."

Stallone has his own thoughts.

He stated his needs frankly and then looked towards where Chen Yu was.

"of course."

"If I had the chance, I would be happy to."

As Chen Yu spoke, he still wore a polite smile.

If I'm not mistaken, Stallone should be preparing for the Expendables series.

A film series that brings together many veteran action stars and contemporary action tough guys.

The Expendables was once hailed as a carnival of action stars.

If it were a collaboration on this project, Chen Yu would not refuse. He could even provide the IP of "Invisible Spy" and add the character of Chen Long to create a dream collaboration.

It has to be said that any one of today's guests is a global superstar.

Although the new line is now on the verge of bankruptcy.

However, the past glories and friendships still exist.

"I think everyone is already full of anticipation."

"With so many guests here today, I believe the movie 'Bruce Lee' will definitely bring us a unique surprise."

Julianna Rancic's high-pitched voice rang out.

"Now, let's truly step into the theater and witness the premiere!"

Robert Shea made a gesture of invitation.

As for Chen Yu, Sylvester Stallone, and the others, they had already walked into the screening room.

The screening room was now filled with well-known Hollywood actors.

They were all very curious about what surprises the movie "Bruce Lee" would bring them!
Robert Shea's network of connections is indeed impressive.

Even when facing financial ruin, they can still exert crucial influence.

It's worth noting that it's rare for ordinary programs to assemble such a strong lineup.

“chan”.

Arnold Schwarzenegger stood up and gave Chen Yu a big hug as well.

He is old.

It's incredibly gratifying to see such fresh blood in action movies.

"Governor Arnold, you will always be my idol!"

The two embraced. In that moment, kung fu transcended borders. Under the power of capital, they were all friends, free from interests and racial discrimination.

Liu Yifei stood beside him.

Seeing Chen Yu talking to the person in front of him, he was quite impressed.

Schwarzenegger's international influence is absolutely undeniable. As a top figure who has crossed over into bodybuilding, politics, and film, his fame is a testament to his prominence.

Although he rarely appears in public after entering politics.

However, his popularity remains high.

"Bruce Lee was the person with the most defined muscles I have ever seen."

"but--"

"Now I've made a new discovery."

"I watched the trailer a couple of days ago, and your physique is absolutely top-notch. This body is exactly what I've always dreamed of..."

As Bruce Lee's successor, Schwarzenegger has to admit that Bruce Lee did have a profound influence on later generations.

Bruce Lee was absolutely unique.

But now, another prodigy has emerged in the film and television industry.

Chen Yu.

This name has absolutely caused a sensation in the global film industry.

A rising star in China.

"Thank you!"

People present came forward to greet Chen Yu, and Liu Yifei also chatted happily with everyone.

Seeing that Chen Yu had finished exchanging pleasantries with everyone present, Stallone finally seized his opportunity.

He knew Chen Yu well. His works alone, which had risen to prominence in recent years, were enough to prove his talent.

As for Chen Yu's market, it has long since expanded beyond just one region.

Whether it's North America, Asia, or China.

For him, they were all things he could do effortlessly.

This is not an exaggeration; Chen Yu truly possesses such abilities.

Even though he is young, his acting skills and popularity are both quite impressive.

Especially considering his age, he already owns several major intellectual property rights.

It is still about its own existence as an investor.

If we could have a deeper conversation, perhaps we could collaborate with him.

In any case, any movie with Chen Yu in it is guaranteed to be a box office hit.

"Chan, I didn't have a chance to have a proper chat with you while we were outside!"

"I saw the trailer, and the Chinese kung fu in it really impressed me."

Although it was flattery, it still made people very happy.

"Interested in collaborating?"

"I'm planning to start filming a movie next year, and I want to bring together all the action stars."

There's a role I think you'd be perfect for.

Sylvester Stallone spoke his mind, while Robert Shea, standing to the side, stared wide-eyed.

Clearly, no word of this matter has been leaked.

"I've already thought of a name!"

"The Expendables!"

"It's currently in preparation. After watching the trailer for 'Bruce Lee,' I felt that it had to be you."

Chen Yu did not respond immediately.

He was naturally aware of this film, "The Expendables," which was officially launched in 2008 and began pre-production, and started filming in 2009.

It is a pure action movie written, directed and starring Sylvester Stallone.

In his previous life, it was Li Lianjie who was strongly invited to join.

I heard that Stallone intended to invite Jackie Chan to join him, but he declined because the role was a supporting one.

Ultimately, Jet Li was recommended to Sylvester Stallone.

However, in this life, the answer is clearly different.

As for this series, it has indeed achieved great success by leveraging the tough-guy sentiment.

However, the stock price initially opened high but then declined significantly in the later stages.

The Expendables 3, in particular, was quite controversial at the time.

The success of the first film was largely due to its unprecedented lineup of action stars.

It accurately struck a chord with the emotions of a specific age group of viewers.

However, if such moves are used repeatedly, it can easily lead to aesthetic fatigue.

As a result, the quality and reputation of later films gradually declined.

How should I put this work?

If he had participated in the first film, he might have been able to benefit from the popularity of many kung fu stars.

However, this did not hold much appeal for Chen Yu.

With his current popularity and influence, he has absolutely no need to rely on anyone anymore.

He was already at the very top of the pyramid.

To be precise, it was others who benefited from his success.

but--

For film series like this, collaboration could be considered, that is, joint development, rather than just acting in them; a strong alliance is the key, and it can also indirectly promote "Invisible Spy 2".

"Sylvester, I need to think about what you've said. I'm very interested!"

Chen Yu smiled faintly; in fact, his words were quite formulaic.

Seeing the state of the person in front of him, Stallone spoke again: "The script is still being revised!"

"If you're willing to join, we can discuss the specific plot."

"Or you could offer some suggestions."

Stallone's words made Liu Yifei's eyes widen in surprise.

You should know that what they dislike most in North America is actors changing the script.

They considered this a serious breach of professional boundaries.

Stallone went to great lengths to get Chen Yu to join the team.

But then I thought about it again, Chen Yu's fame is already known worldwide.

Many people hope to be associated with Chen Yu.

Chen Yu was thinking about how to negotiate a collaboration. With his memories as a reborn person, he could modify the flaws that had been criticized before, which might prevent "The Expendables" from starting strong but ending weak.

Furthermore, this film was entirely produced by Stallone, and given what he just said, there's no way there will be any controversy surrounding it.

Investing first and then taking on a role might not be bad.

With that in mind, Chen Yu said, "Okay, let's find some time to have a good talk!"

"It's my pleasure!"

"Of course, it's my honor, haha!"

After hearing Chen Yu's answer, Stallone's emotions visibly rose.

"Let's find a place to have a drink after the premiere."

"Let's have a good talk about the script."

The brave are the first to enjoy the world.

Being able to collaborate with Chen Yu was definitely his good fortune.

Everyone knows Chen Yu's influence now. If he participates, will there be any need to worry about box office?
People started coming over to greet Chen Yu.

As for Stallone, he had already returned to his seat. Schwarzenegger approached him; he had already been invited by Stallone and naturally knew about the film.

"I think inviting Chen Yu to join would be a great opportunity."

"Are you planning to give Chan the role of Yin Yang?"

They had already read the script, and it must be said that Chen Yu was indeed very suitable.

Yin Yang is a close-combat expert who is proficient in various martial arts.

Compared to the trailer for "Bruce Lee" this time, Chen Yu is definitely the best choice.

They are agile and extremely fast.

His movements were completely unpredictable.

In addition, the character needed to have a sense of humor, all of which combined to make it a perfect fit for Chen Yu.

However, Chen Yu was clearly not satisfied with a mere Yin-Yang.

If you're going to act, you should be the lead; otherwise, it's pointless!

"I just didn't expect Chan to agree so readily. You know, he's incredibly competitive, and so many people are waiting to work with him."

Stallone was in a great mood.

There's absolutely nothing to worry about once filming begins.

Entrusting such a pivotal role to Chen Yu, I believe he will definitely perform exceptionally well.

However, it's unclear whether Chen Yu would be willing to appear as a supporting character.

The script is not yet perfect, and any objections can be raised and revised.

This is Stallone's biggest concession.

"With Chan's existence, I believe the Chinese market and even the Asian market will support him."

Schwarzenegger said it very seriously.

As for Stallone, he shook his head.

"More than that, Chan's box office appeal has already expanded globally."

"With him around, there's absolutely no need to worry about the box office."

Schwarzenegger nodded seriously after hearing Stallone's words.

That's absolutely the most powerful compliment!
The two looked in Chen Yu's direction, where he was already surrounded by top celebrities from the entertainment industry.

It seems everyone wants to curry favor with him now.

Snapped!
Just as everyone was talking, the lights in the theater suddenly went out.

On the large screen in front of us, the opening credits of "Bruce Lee" began to appear.

The North American premiere of "Bruce Lee" has officially begun! (End of Chapter)
