The Golden Age of China Entertainment

"Of course, the most popular and most capable star in Xiangjiang."

Yi Qing praised her and waited for Zou Wenhuai's next words.

Zou Wenhuai nodded: "Yes! Aaron is really good, and he has developed very well in the past few years, but I don't think he is the most popular and the most capable. If Zhen Zidan is popular, he may soon fight against Aaron!"

What does this old man mean?

Hearing this tone, it seems that he is here to ask the teacher for his crimes!

what's going on?

Xu Jiahe's Cheng Long makes an action movie, so why can't Orange Sky make it?

Are Kung Fu movies registered as trademarks by Golden Harvest?

Thinking of this, Yi Qing also frowned slightly: "Mr. Zou, if you have anything to say, you can just say it, I am the person who doesn't like going around in circles the most!"

Chapter 657 Cooperation

Yi Qing still admires Cheng Long very much. If these words were put in the previous life, Cheng Long's fans would probably beat him to death. Island, which is very popular in Southeast Asia, but it has not really stepped out of the Hong Kong film circle.

As for Yi Qing, the boss of the Orange Sky Entertainment Group, he was born with a psychological advantage over Cheng Long, an actor, because he was in a different position after all.

And Yi Qing's appreciation for Cheng Long is mainly due to the fact that Cheng Long is the only Chinese movie star who is truly accepted by Hollywood.

Li Xiaolong before him was actually not happy in Hollywood, otherwise, he would not have come to Xiangjiang to develop. Although his box office performance has impressed Hollywood investors, he has not waited for him to really start to exert himself.

Nowadays, Li Xiaolong's position in the film industry is a bit of a myth in Yi Qing's view.

Just like Picasso, when he was alive, who knew who he was?

something to draw?

What are they called?

When people are gone, what the fuck, art!

Although Li Xiaolong is not as good as this, it is actually not too far behind.

As for Li Lianjie, Zhou Runfa, and even Zhen Zidan, who later went to Hollywood to develop, they basically went high-key and returned low-key.

First of all, it is not to belittle anyone. If you want to say that Li Lianjie and Zhou Run are not strong, they are both Chinese superstars, but they have not achieved Cheng Long's achievements in Hollywood.

Not to mention others, so far, Chinese stars who have succeeded in Hollywood can be said to be rare, and Hollywood is born with a great rejection of oriental faces, or people of the yellow race.

Generally speaking, in Hollywood movies, white people are basically positive characters, with extremely upright views, worrying about the country and the people, and saving the world, telling the world clearly, without us white people, how early would you be? Ruined.

As for the blacks, they play the kind of loyal, honest, down-to-earth and hard-working roles, they are the loyal partners of the white people, they can bravely stand up and block the guns for the white people, and they have no regrets. People all over the world should respect others study.

Relatively speaking, people of the yellow race can only play the kind of narrow-minded, clever, and sneaky characters. They make gags and make people feel no pity when they die.

So why did Cheng Long succeed in Hollywood?

Some people may say that the period when Cheng Long made his name in Hollywood was the most popular period of world kung fu movies. In addition, Cheng Long’s integration of personal comedy elements made the style of action movies he starred in unique among the kung fu movies at that time, which naturally stood out. .

Indeed, looking at global action movies, apart from Stallone and Schwarzenegger, who took the muscular route, and then the deceased Li Xiaolong, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhen Zidan, they all have strong personal styles.

After entering the new century, Tony Jia later had a strong personal style, Jason Statham had a muscular style, and of course Dwayne Johnson was also a muscular style.

Counting and counting, in the action film market, only these 10 have a strong personal style for decades.

There is no doubt that Cheng Long deserved his success in Hollywood in the horizontal comparison in the 90s.

Of course, any success is inseparable from hard work. Cheng Long's success is not accidental, but an inevitable trend. That level will be another matter in the future.

Secondly, Cheng Long can better integrate into Western culture, study English hard, and basically communicate without barriers. In addition, Cheng Long is also one of the few Xiangjiang people who can speak Mandarin better, plus he can innovate, dare to innovate, and has the spirit of not dying Available all over the world.

Again, Cheng Long himself is still a very versatile person. He knows too much about editing, singing, stunts, and doubles. He can do everything by himself. A person who is more comprehensive than him in this aspect, of course Hong Jinbao can also do it, but Hong Jinbao lacks singing, and his image is not very good. His figure does not meet the western imagination of a hero.

Another reason is why he was able to enter Hollywood successfully, become an international superstar, and become popular all over the world, that is, he really dared to fight, and he was still the kind who didn't want to die.

Cheng Long has been studying with Master Yu Zhanyuan since he was a child, and his education method is basically the strictness and hard work of old opera rules.Discipline children to do things, the way to practice is to beat and punish.

It is said that Cheng Long regretted it less than four days after entering the class. In the first days, he often cried secretly at night.So that for a long time afterwards, when he thought of those days, his heart trembled.

Every morning, I get up at five o'clock in the morning to practice exercises until twelve o'clock in the evening. I practice various exercises in the morning, and I can sleep a little while practicing leg stretching. Almost everyone sleeps with their legs crossed. Practice your voice or read a book.

It is precisely because of this experience that Cheng Long has developed a character that can endure hardships. When he was filming in the early days, he was filming in the hot summer, and there was no place to rest at noon. He also filmed continuously for a week, and finally he really supported Can't stop, just lay down on the chair to rest casually, just ask, how many people can persist like this.

Being able to endure hardship and daring to work hard has almost become Cheng Long's most prominent label. Everyone knows that Cheng Long never uses a double in filming. This alone is enough to make many kung fu superstars admire.

After all, even the most powerful Li Xiaolong needs a substitute, let alone someone else, and Cheng Long really risked his life. When he was filming "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" with Alan Tam, he fell directly from a tree and was seriously injured. He rested in the hospital Two years is good.

When filming "Red Fan District", there was a scene in which he jumped from one building to another. In terms of protective measures, he put a mat on the ground. For such a dangerous scene, Cheng Long still didn't need a stand-in. just jump.

With this desperate courage, Cheng Long's success in Hollywood has become inevitable.

If Yi Qing could be reborn a few years earlier, if he had reached out to the Xiangjiang entertainment industry a few years earlier, he would have to hold Cheng Long, the cash cow, in his hands no matter what.

Now, I can only look at it with greed.

"I don't understand Mr. Zou's words. I came here specially today to find me. I don't know what to teach. I don't like to go around in circles. If Mr. Zou has something to say, please speak up."

Why did Zou Wenhuai bring Cheng Long to him?

It can't really be because Orange Sky Entertainment launched a Zhen Zidan, who has a collision with Cheng Long's type, so he came to Xingshi to inquire about the crime, right?

Speaking of which, Zhen Zidan has officially started to become popular in Hong Kong now. The "Taken" he starred in before earned a box office of 4800 million in Hong Kong alone, and then it was screened in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other places.

This kind of punch to flesh, simple and direct action scenes were unexpectedly popular, especially in Japan, Zhen Zidan's popularity is no worse than that of Cheng Long.

Coupled with the previous "Jing Wu Heroes" released in Xiangjiang, Li Lianjie became popular again with the role of Chen Zhen, and the box office also exceeded 4000 million.

Seeing that Orange Sky Entertainment has released two kung fu stars in a row, Golden Harvest is worried that Cheng Long's status will be affected, and feels that he can't sit still?

"Mr. Yi, Ming people don't talk dark words. I brought Aaron here today. I actually want Mr. Yi to help me see if it is possible to create a script for him."

Looking for a script?

This surprised Yi Qing a bit, does Golden Harvest lack a good screenwriter?

"Mr. Zou was joking, doesn't Golden Harvest still have a good script?"

"Of course there are good scripts, but the script I want this time is different from before. To be honest, we at Golden Harvest have always had the idea of ​​bringing Aaron to Hollywood. He also has the potential of a script, but how to cater for it? The taste of Western audiences, in this regard, we are definitely not as good as Mr. Yi."

Golden Harvest wants to rely on Cheng Long to open up the American market. Yi Qing knows about this. As early as 1981, Golden Harvest teamed up with [-]th Century Fox and spent tens of millions of dollars to create a "Cannonball Run", and the result was thunderous. After the film was released in the United States, the box office was dismal.

You must know that Cheng Long was not the only one in this movie at that time, and Xu Guanwen, the sneer maker, also participated in the performance. As a result, the two big Xiangjiang box office guarantees failed to make the movie a success.
