Chapter 319 'Breaking Hollywood'

Sets, costumes.

Fighting style, movie rhythm.

Actor, acting.

Drama, feelings.

This time Wang Jing turned around completely. The high quality of "Chasing the Dragon" gave him, a director who is said to only be able to shoot popcorn movies, finally had a chance to be completely proud.

The works of the summer vacation will never be without rivals. Brother Cheng Long’s return to Hollywood’s new film "The British Showdown", the overwhelming publicity and the advantage of Hollywood works being broadcast on high-quality domestic schedules made this film get 7000 million on the first day of its release. The box office is currently in a strong period. Before "Chasing the Dragon" was officially released, no one compared the two together, and no one thought it would be the opponent of Cheng Long's new film.

The box office on the day of the premiere was 5100 million. "Chasing the Dragon" produced a perfect answer that far exceeded Wang Jing's expectations. Everyone knows that a movie has a good box office and a good reputation. In the days to come, there will be more High box office figures emerged.

Since Zhou Le is in LA at this time, the second day of the screening is equivalent to a disguised celebration show. Wang Jing and Liu Tianwang brought the main creative staff to do publicity in the studio.

Facing media inquiries, Wang Jing was full of confidence: "Huazai's Leihu is much more mature than 20 years ago, every time I see him on camera, I will be attracted by him."

"As for Zhou Le, it was a surprise. We didn't expect him to play a lame man with his own unique angle. Hua Zai recommended him to meet Lu Liangwei. He also read a lot of materials. Before the shooting, we were always worried about him. I can’t get out of my own style. For this reason, I also prepared various appearances, movements and accents that were very characteristic of that era, but they were useless. He stood there by himself and made all my preparations It's all useless."

For Zhou Le's praise, Wang Jing was not stingy at all, and he was not afraid of the dissatisfaction of the Tian Wang beside him. He has been in the circle for more than 30 years, and Liu Tian Wang has that kind of mind. He will never be discouraged by the ferocity of his juniors. In him, I will never get old.

"Director Wang Jing, we all know that Zhou Le is in North America at this time. The box office of "Speed ​​7" he participated in was 7000 million U.S. dollars on the first day of its release. The media praised his performance in the movie and thought that he The role in the play made up for the reduction of Paul's role to a certain extent, what do you think of this?"

The same question was also asked to Liu Tianwang, and the answers of the two were similar.

"This is what he deserves. Although I haven't seen the movie yet, I believe that with his strength, these will come sooner or later."

"His participation in "Speed ​​7" itself is a demonstration of his strength and confidence. The foreign media did not hide it. The crew did not choose him at the beginning. Although they used some excuses to find a different style, I don't believe the "Speed ​​7" crew. Dare to take risks without Paul, because no one dares to take on this role, for fear of becoming a point of criticism from Paul fans and becoming a blame man."

In China, everyone is more daring to say something. At that time, some people said that if Zhou Le chose to participate in "Speed ​​7", it would be fine if he was a small role.

The addition of new characters has risks for mature IP movies. After Paul's death, this risk has been infinitely magnified. If something goes wrong, it is easy to be directly promoted as a blame man and accept the accusations of speed fans all over the world.

Taking a huge risk and getting as much credit as you deserve for your success these days.

The words of Wang Jing and Liu Tianwang mean this, and it is also fortunate that they have not seen the movie, otherwise they would not mind to experience how difficult Zhou Le's success is.

After a long flight, the plane landed in Yanjing on the morning of the third day of the release of "Chasing the Dragon" in China.

The time of [-]:[-] in the morning was chosen on purpose, because Yanjing Airport was relatively quiet at this time, and he walked out of the waiting hall all the way. On the side of the road, even if a few early morning passengers saw Zhou Le, they didn't have the time and conditions to catch up with him and watch him get in the car and leave.

They didn't know that the car didn't leave the airport directly, but returned to the same place after a long circle. Xiaofei was waiting by the roadside with his checked suitcase.

"Here, take a look."

After getting in the car, Dongdong handed Xiao Fei a newspaper that both she and Zhou Le had read just now, and asked him to read the above report.

"Breaking Hollywood!"

A very ambiguous proposition, the studio has become the center of Asia, every year there are crews from various Asian countries filming film and television dramas in the studio, and it is also called Eastern Hollywood, but the real Hollywood is still the center of the world's film and television entertainment industry .

Nowadays, the future path of paper media is getting narrower and narrower. All your functions become insignificant in front of a smartphone. Some long commentary articles with personal style have become one of the selling points, which is the only thing they can do. It is ahead of the way of the Internet. After their newspapers are published, a movie review becomes popular, and the Internet can follow suit. It is no longer that they go to the Internet to find various news materials to use as materials for their own newspapers.

Although Xiao Fei was a little sleepy, when he saw that the central proposition of the article was Zhou Le, he squeezed his eyes, tried to open them wide, opened a bottle of Red Bull Gudong Gudong and drank it down, looking seriously.

"Break into Hollywood, this is a fixed proposition for Chinese actors for a long time. We have the success of Bruce Lee, he is a world-recognized kung fu superstar, and he let the world know Chinese kung fu movies. After that, there are Wu Yusen, Yuan Baye, etc. The behind-the-scenes personnel stand tall in Hollywood, there are also Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Chow Yun-fat in Hollywood, and they have achieved good results there, but there is one question that has never had an answer that everyone relatively agrees on."

"How do you break into Hollywood? Do you rely on technology, or rely on action, dare to fight, or rely on your unique personal style? These predecessors all have these characteristics, and now Zhou Le, who is also emerging in Hollywood, also has these characteristics. As far as he is concerned, his path is narrower than those of these predecessors. The first Hollywood role he got, seems to be very big, the first villain in a superhero movie, and the second male in a movie. Really watched " Everyone in The Dark Knight knows that the clown played the bombed role, and the clown played the soft-handed role, but how many people pay attention to the fact that the clown is played by a Chinese actor? In the film there is only one character who disappears and shows his face, how much courage did Zhou Le have to take on this role?"

"Similarly, "Speed ​​7", which is currently being released in North America, everyone feels that Zhou Le is very lucky, and he is also an important role in a big IP series movie. According to the feedback from the audience after the release, Zhou Le is another It’s anti-number one, someone will say at this time, he’s really lucky.”

"Really? His luck is really not good. He is working hard with his strength and courage. The prospect of the clown was not very good at the beginning. Many well-known actors were unwilling to act. Zhou Le struggled to win the role after several rounds of auditions. "Speed ​​7" is because of Paul's death, which casts a sad color on this half-filmed movie. Fans who like this series of movies all over the world are not very able to accept Paul's departure. Now the newly joined The villain is specially designed to act for a certain amount of time, and also shoulder the responsibility of adding exciting plots to the whole story."

"You have to act really well, otherwise the character will become a scapegoat. If there is anything about "Fast 7" that dissatisfies fans, the probability of those inherent characters being affected is very low. The worst thing is that I have replaced some of my roles. Zhou Le in the role of Paul."

"Why did he dare to act? After many confirmations, he was not the first choice of the crew before. Finally, after he joined, he made a selling point, saying that we need a different feeling and add different colors to the series of movies. This is to deceive the audience who don't know anything, anyone with a little bit of brain knows that although Zhou Le is not a last choice, he is not the first choice that the crew considers suitable."

"He succeeded, and we are all cheering for him, but who has thought about what if he fails? We learned from the side that Dong Fengyu directly helped Zhou Le take the role when he took the role. The partners who left Feiying Entertainment have shown everyone their tacit understanding, and at the same time told everyone in their unique way that if you want to go to the international stage, you must not only have strength, but also vision and courage, and more importantly The most important thing is to be responsible. When others can’t do it, you have to do it. There is really a double-edged opportunity in front of you. You have to have enough courage to rush forward and tell the world that you are here. Hollywood For us, it's not that there are no opportunities, but opportunities only exist in the cracks, do you dare to seize them?"

As a member of Zhou Le's team, Xiao Fei told the truth after watching it that the other party's central idea is to establish a successful image, and then convey a kind of success theory that belongs to Zhou Le.

Articles with no technical content, according to the Internet language, this is a pure dog, but in the current environment, it is estimated that no one will come out to criticize them, both domestic and foreign, it must be said that the editor-in-chief of this newspaper is a brain. There is a living space found in the cracks, as long as they continue to use Zhou Le as the core to publish some articles, let alone other people, fans from music fans, maybe the first two articles are read on the Internet, when they get Knowing that these are all from an entertainment newspaper, it may be to read a few hours earlier, or it may be to make a paper collection, which can be satisfied with change and steel.

How many die-hard fans of music fans are there nationwide?

As a paper media entertainment newspaper with no market, how much sales share can each issue have now?

Xiaofei turned his head and met Dongdong's eyes.

"Mr. Dong has arranged for someone to contact the media."

One needs to find a way to survive in the cracks, and one needs to have a temporary partner who will not sing bad words but only praise wildly.
