Hollywood Lover

   "OK! I planned to let you come with me!" Zhang Dongcheng agreed directly.

  Of course, Zhang Dongcheng can call Yuan Heping directly. With his huge popularity now, how can he be afraid that he won't want to come? Hehe, it's so difficult that I want to make a TV series. Naturally, I have no resistance to Hollywood.

  But for Hong Kong, the famous Pearl of the Orient, Zhang Dongcheng was still a teenager at heart, and wanted to see it with his own eyes, so he decided to go and have a look for it in person, and take a trip by the way.

   After coaxing Adaman to buy a plane ticket, Zhang Dongcheng handed over the preparatory work of the crew to the photographer Jack. He has been in the film industry for a long time. In the entire Dongcheng Film Industry, even Zhang Dongcheng is not as familiar with this aspect as he is. He is not only a competent photographer, but also an excellent director assistant.

  After the matter was explained, Zhang Dongcheng didn't bother to take a break, and boarded the plane to Hong Kong with Adaman in the afternoon.

   As dusk approached, the plane finally landed in Hong Kong.

  After getting off the plane, Adaman seemed to want to see the person Zhang Dongcheng was looking for as soon as possible, and said impatiently: "Smith, where shall we go to find kung fu masters? Is it in the martial arts hall?"

   As for Hong Kong, Zhang Dongcheng's eyes were also darkened, and he didn't know where to look for Yuan Heping, but logically speaking, Yuan Heping should not have gone to the mainland yet. Because according to the Chinese lunar calendar, the New Year is about to be celebrated now. He has no reason to leave before New Years.

  Unfortunately, Zhang Dongcheng came here in such a hurry that he even forgot to contact him in advance. So much so that now he and Adaman can only stare blankly.

  In the previous two films, although he had monopolized power, both Hammer Films and Universal Pictures would arrange for him the places he neglected.

  But now, this is the first time that Zhang Dongcheng's preparations are really insufficient! As soon as my brain became hot, I came to Hong Kong, but I never thought about how to contact the person I wanted to find. You can't just grab someone on the street and just ask, right?

   Just when Zhang Dongcheng was at a loss and didn't know how to answer Adaman's question, his erratic eyes suddenly stared at someone at the airport exit and froze.

  In his sight, a Chinese man wearing a baseball cap and 1.75 meters tall was walking towards this side with a steady momentum. After seeing this guy's appearance, Zhang Dongcheng was pleasantly surprised. It's really easy to find nowhere to go after breaking through the iron shoes.

  Zhang Dongcheng didn't care about what to say to Adaman, and walked straight towards him. From a distance, he said, "Mr. Zhen!"

  The man turned around suspiciously when he heard the words, looked Zhang Dongcheng up and down, and asked in half-familiar Mandarin with a puzzled face, "Hello, do we know each other?"

"Hello, Mr. Zhen, my name is Zhang Dongcheng, you can call me Smith, and I am a director. I came to Hong Kong this time to hope to find Mr. Yuan as the martial arts director of my new movie. Because I came in a hurry, I can't think about it. Zhou, I forgot to contact in advance, now my companion and I have no way to contact Mr. Yuan, I wonder if you can tell us Mr. Yuan's contact information?" After explaining his situation, Zhang Dongcheng looked at Mr. Yuan with hopeful eyes. The man in front of him.

   This guy is exactly Yuan Heping's disciple, and he will soon become the most famous martial arts star among Chinese movie stars, and even become famous all over the world.

  This year he should try to direct and act in "Legend of Wolf Warriors". Maybe someone has already guessed his identity, that's right, he is the actor of Ip Man, after Jackie Chan Jet Li, the number one master in the film industry recognized by the Chinese world, Donnie Yen!

   "Are you the director?" Donnie Yen pressed the brim of his hat and looked at Zhang Dongcheng suspiciously. He seemed to recall something, and asked in surprise, "Are you Smith Zhang, the Smith who shot the mummy?"

   "Yes!" Zhang Dongcheng felt relieved when he saw Yen Zidan recognize his identity. It seems that the matter of looking for Yuan Heping this time should be almost inseparable!

The Mummy is indeed too popular, and because it was released on Halloween, not too long ago, and Zhang Dongcheng is a Chinese director, so Donnie Yen has an impression of him, and I have read reports about him .

  Even a few weeks ago, Donnie Yen had just seen "The Mummy" at a close distance in a Hong Kong movie theater.

   "You want to find my master as a martial arts instructor?" Donnie Yen looked at Zhang Dongcheng and asked in a daze, "When did American movies start shooting kung fu movies?"

It’s no wonder Donnie Yen is puzzled. You know, in American movies before The Matrix, most of the fighting scenes are basically muscle-building, that is, you punch me, I punch you, and see who can’t hold on first. Live down!

American muscle movies generally have the protagonist defeating the enemy with steel-like will and steel-like muscles. This is the consensus of American society, and the second wave of real Kung Fu craze started from the Matrix in 1999 in the original time and space. , This trend is so turbulent that for a long time, there will be countless Hollywood action film directors scrambling to find Hong Kong martial artists to cooperate with.

"Yes! I plan to incorporate kung fu elements into this movie! And Mr. Yuan Heping is undoubtedly my best choice!" Zhang Dongcheng is not putting a high hat on Yuan Heping, but Yuan Heping does have this ability, you must know His No. 1 martial arts finger in the world is not just for nothing, but the result of a movie that exploded at the box office and has a strong reputation!

   "Okay! I'll take you to find the master!" Donnie Yen didn't ask any more questions. His intuition told him that this was a good thing, so he made the decision and took Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman towards Yuan Heping's residence.

   "Hey, Smith!" In the car, Adaman looked at Donnie Yen who was sitting in the front row, and asked Zhang Dongcheng in a low voice: "Is this guy also a kung fu master? Like Bruce Lee!"

   "I dare not compare with Bruce Lee, but I really know Kung Fu!" Donnie Yen, who basically lived in the United States when he was a child, is no stranger to English, and he can hear Adaman's words very clearly. Instead, he skipped Jang Dong-seong and answered Adaman's question.

   "Oh! God! It turns out that you can speak English, that's great. Man, aren't you good at kung fu? Like Bruce Lee!" Adaman said, gesturing to some of Bruce Lee's classic moves.

   Donnie Yen smiled slightly, turned his head, pressed his arm against the back of the seat, and began to chat with Adaman.

  Zhang Dongcheng didn't intervene in the chat between the two. He didn't sleep last night, and he had been flying for several hours today, so he was already very tired. Closing his eyes, leaning on the back of the chair, Zhang Dongcheng took the rare time to rest.

  Although it was difficult to fall asleep in the car, after closing his eyes and resting his mind for a while, Zhang Dongcheng still regained some energy.

   At the same time when Zhang Dongcheng went to Hong Kong to find Yuan Heping.

  On this day, such a news broke out in a magazine in the United States that is very small and often breaks news about entertainment circles.

   "Chinese director Smith Zhang. After the success of The Mummy, he actually chose to buy a script that no one paid attention to for seven years!"

The title is very long, but it is not a headline party, but a real depiction of Zhang Dongcheng's purchase of the "Matrix" script for one million US dollars. Witness the illusion in general.

  In the article, the scene that the paparazzi reporter saw in the coffee shop was described in detail. Of course, as a magazine that started with lace news, it is natural that all kinds of embellishments are indispensable!

"As we all know, Smith's Mummy was released in trouble. On the morning of the premiere, it was even resisted by the crowd. But the success of this movie made Smith go to his brain. He even bought a copy Years of endless interest in the script, and decided to shoot.

  According to insiders, this script has been patented for nearly seven years, but no one has ever paid attention to it. Smith Zhang crashed because of the script he wrote and the script idea. And choose to buy its copyright without hesitation.

  In the past seven years, countless directors and investors have reviewed this script, but no one has ever been willing to invest. Is Smith really sure of doing this, or was he dazzled by the previous two victories? "

  The media even specifically contacted Bob Swinton, the producer of Dimensional Films, who had conflicts with Zhang Dongcheng in the coffee shop.

"I do admit that Smith Zhang is a very thoughtful director. But he is still too young after all. Success after success has made him lost in this kind of joy. I can say responsibly that he is too young, He can't control The Matrix, I think he's too confident, it's going to be his Waterloo.

  Even if he doesn't prepare early, this movie alone can ruin all his previous efforts. Let this talented Chinese director be devastated! "

  Bob Swinton is considered a well-known producer in Hollywood, and his words have indeed attracted the attention of many people. But the number of such attention is always limited.

  Because the audience of this newspaper is too small, after all, no one will often pay attention to the lace news of celebrities. Now is not the era of eyeball economy in the future. Therefore, the news that this magazine, which itself is very small, has not attracted too many people's attention so far!

  So even with Bob Swinton's evaluation, it still didn't make much waves.

  In Hong Kong, half a world away from Hollywood.

   After more than half an hour's drive, Zhang Dongcheng and Adaman finally saw the future No. 1 Wuzhi under the leadership of Donnie Yen!

   "Mr. Yuan, hello! I am..." Zhang Dongcheng looked at the familiar face in front of him, and immediately stepped forward to introduce himself.
