reborn in america

The two shook hands, then Adam greeted his old friend Shay, and sat on the slightly humble sofa with the translation girl they brought. Maybe Adam became famous when he was young, not just a billionaire, but also She is also very talented, and has a world-renowned reputation in many fields, especially in novels, so the translation girl who followed her was in a state of confusion from the beginning to the end from the door to the seat.

"Mr. Zou, I have seen many films of your company, including my favorite films of Mr. Bruce Lee. Although Golden Harvest is an Asian film company, it is also a successful and even great film company in my opinion. , it is my honor to meet you who founded Golden Harvest Film Company today." Adam said sincerely, after all, the two most famous kung fu superstars in Asia - Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee were born in Golden Harvest, and Golden Harvest's Rise and fall is basically the process of the rise and fall of Hong Kong films, which really makes people sigh and sigh.

Although Adam can speak Chinese proficiently, but Xie Yi was there after all, so considering Xie Yi's feelings, Adam did not continue to use his standard Chinese, which made Zou Wenhuai relax a little bit, but Adam turned his attention to their pursuit The company really made him feel a little overwhelmed, so he quickly straightened up and said with a slight inclination in Adam's direction: "Where, Mr. Baker is too famous, Golden Harvest is just a small company in Asia, who can win you, a world-renowned big man." It is his glory to be praised by the writer."

"Haha, Mr. Zou, Adam's words are not necessarily polite. I remember he is a fan of Chinese culture." Xie Yi was relieved that Adam didn't continue speaking Chinese, otherwise he would just sit on the side in a daze when the two of them spoke Chinese. , that would be really embarrassing.

"Yes, since I was young, when I first came into contact with Chinese culture, I have been deeply obsessed with it. My first work, or my first comic, is full of a lot of Chinese culture. element, so I am very happy to see Mr. Zou today." Adam also explained with a smile.

"I am also very happy to meet Mr. Baker, but Mr. Baker, you are still a cartoonist? This is the first time I know. When I go back, I will definitely watch Mr. Baker's masterpiece." Zou Wenhua looked at Adam He is indeed a gentle and elegant person who really likes Chinese culture, which makes him relax a little and is no longer as rigid as he was at first.

"Ha, it's just graffiti. But thanks to that comic book, I can earn the tuition fees for me and my brother to continue their studies, and then there is "Jurassic Park." Adam waved his hand, After a brief explanation, he continued: "I have always liked Chinese culture, and I am especially obsessed with Chinese Kung Fu. Compared with Chinese Kung Fu, Western fighting is too clumsy and lacks the beauty and imagination of the camera, so I have been looking forward to it. Being able to meet masters in the East who know how to apply Kung Fu to the camera is the reason why I begged Mr. Xie Yi to contact Golden Harvest this time, but I did not expect to meet Mr. Zou."

"Mr. Baker is overrated. Eastern and Western martial arts have their own advantages and disadvantages. I personally like Western boxing and wrestling. However, if Mr. Baker needs anything, our Golden Harvest martial arts masters will do their best to meet your requirements." Zou Wenhuai He frowned, knowing that he was talking about business, so he didn't hesitate, and directly stated that no matter what Adam's needs were, they would meet them.

Of course, if it can't be done, Adam will definitely not force it, otherwise they won't be able to respond.And if they can take advantage of this opportunity to gain Adam's friendship, then with Adam's current relationship network in Hollywood, as well as controlling the largest BBS in the United States and the newspaper with the highest circulation in the United States, it will be able to give them Golden Harvest's entry into Hollywood in terms of public opinion alone. s help.

Seeing that Zou Wenhuai agreed to the request without waiting for him to finish his request, Adam sighed in his heart, he really deserves to be a man who has dominated the Hong Kong film industry for decades, he knows the choice and has enough courage.

He said with a smile: "I will be filming a TV series in the second half of this year. There are a lot of fighting scenes in this TV series. I am not satisfied with the martial arts instructors in Hollywood today. I hope Golden Harvest can recommend me a martial artist with outstanding abilities." Guidance, I can design all kinds of martial arts moves with the beauty of the lens and the sense of attack according to my requirements. Of course, the treatment is good. If the cooperation goes well, we can cooperate for a long time in the future, and even my flash film and television company can establish a stable cooperation with you Jiahe I don't know what Mr. Zou said?"

"It's just a small matter, Mr. Baker, don't worry. After I go back, I will send our best martial arts instructor from Golden Harvest to the United States to cooperate with your filming." Zou Wenhuai was completely relieved when he heard Adam's request. Other than martial arts instructors, Golden Harvest thinks they are second. There is no film company that dares to say that it is the first. The Hongjia class under him, and the family-making class that gradually formed later, all have a large number of top-notch martial artists, and they can definitely meet the foreign devil like Adam Baker. demand.

"Haha, Mr. Zou is really generous. I thank you here in advance." Adam smiled happily. Although he knew that this request was not difficult to meet, it would be better if Jiahe took the initiative to cooperate. He is not a stingy person: "I heard that your company is shooting a new movie in Canada? I wonder if there is any plan to release it in the United States? If so, Mr. Shea is here and can help you. Of course, Mr. Jackie Chan is too. The movie actors I like very much, if the time comes to enter the United States, I will also let the "California Times" and Unicorn help you with publicity."

Adam's words surprised Zou Wenhuai again. You must know that he wants to use Jackie Chan's kung fu film to enter Hollywood. The Hong Kong industry is indeed not too secretive news. No one should know about it other than the idea that was revealed at the time, and Adam has been shooting movies here for a long time as far as he knows, and it is unlikely to know, unless Adam deliberately asked Shay to contact them. Investigated them thoroughly, including their Jiahe ambitions and the general process of the next movie to be shot.

Although it won't be frightening, after all, this news is not a secret thing. Hollywood doesn't know, it's not that it can't know, but it just doesn't want to know.And Adam's approach further showed that he really wanted to further cooperate with Golden Harvest, rather than a passionate temporary thought, which was naturally excellent news for them.

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Baker. I was thinking about a Hong Kong movie that no one would watch it, but with your help in promoting it, there will be no problem. I will sign a draft contract with them later." Before Zou Wenhuai could express his gratitude to Adam, Xie Yi laughed and clapped his hands first.

Adam covered his forehead and looked at the proud Shay, knowing that he was flattering him. Of course, this was also because of Adam's current status. If he really wanted to promote a film, it would at least meet the standards of second-tier Hollywood movies. , which saves the publisher of the next film an unknown amount of publicity.

"Ha, my help has given you another advantage." Adam didn't care but said jokingly: "But since that's the case, when this movie of mine is released this year, you can get at least two of my movies. Half a month away from me, I don't have the confidence to fight head-on with your two classic sequels."

"Naturally, naturally. However, although my two films took advantage of the classic adaptation, my film is not as good as your crazy word-of-mouth curve. Let’s go to theaters together, and when your movie is finished, we can discuss how to avoid each other. In the first half of this year, there are really good movies one after another, and it’s really frightening to watch.” Xie Yi naturally wouldn’t say no Refuting Adam's words for the sake of face, not to mention that he is just a newcomer in Hollywood, and it is very normal to cuddle up with Adam, a small company, for warmth. The sky is dark and the sky is dark, and we are not afraid of losing both sides. Next year's Jurassic 2 will have to be accommodated by Adam, otherwise there will be no way to proceed smoothly.

"Yeah, who would have thought that this year would be a big year for movies." Adam sighed a little. In fact, he knew better than Shay, except for a few classics that have already been released and movies that are known to be popular, such as " In addition to True Lies, Forrest Gump and Interview with the Vampire, Jim Carrey's really popular "Dumb and Dumber", Disney's fantasy comedy masterpiece "Santa Claus", and no one can think of future generations Standing at the top of scoring websites such as imdb for a long time, the indisputable classic movie "The Shawshank Redemption" in the hearts of countless people, and the "Pulp Fiction" that is full of characters and made the talented director Quentin Tarantino famous ".

As for the best films such as "Speed", "The Years of Love", "Crazy Clerk" and so on, they all appeared in the second half of 1994, making countless movie audiences infinitely satisfied, which also made Adam and Shay Such a film company that is struggling in Hollywood is quite helpless, because there are too many good films, causing the audience's appreciation to rise gradually, and those that are slightly worse will be punished by various crusades, and the box office will collapse.

In fact, if the two horror films released by Shay’s New Line in 1994 were released in other years, not to mention that they would be hits, but they would never be so miserable that New Line failed at the box office (in fact, it didn’t lose much, even There is still a small profit, but the expectations are too high and the results are in sharp contrast), so that the two classics have been stranded, and it is really regrettable that they did not think of restarting until more than ten years later.

And although Adam also knew that his movie might repeat the same old mistakes, but in the face of such a big movie year full of flowers, it would be a pity if he didn't participate in it, even if the result was not good enough. Unsatisfactory, but it is a glorious thing to be able to compete with these masters and classic movies in the film market, which is why Adam knew that the madness of 1994 would still plunge into it.
