Chapter 1065: The Most Suitable

As soon as he heard Qiao Feng say that the actor was Cheng Long, He Guanchang immediately became even happier.

Die Hard Wei Cheng Long has acted in three films, from the first Hollywood newcomer to the third part, he is already one of the most famous action stars in Hollywood.

It's all because of Qiao Feng.

Now that he has the opportunity to star in the movie written by Qiao Feng, how can He Guanchang not be happy for his godson.

After all, the movie written by Qiao Feng is the guarantee of a big hit.

Relying on Die Hard Wei Chenglong has indeed become one of the few action superstars in Hollywood, and Li Lianjie is known as the light of the Chinese, of course, now there is a Zhou Runfa.

But even if he has become the most famous action superstar in Hollywood, after all, it is a place where white people are dominant, so it is naturally suitable for Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and other Chinese scripts are much less.

This is also the reason why they are more often filming in Hong Kong.

Because compared to Hollywood, Hong Kong is really their basic plate, as long as they are willing to have a book for them.

And if it continues like this, then their reputation in Hollywood will inevitably decline little by little.

Fortunately, there is Qiao Feng.

As long as Qiao Feng writes a Hollywood-focused script and the box office is a big hit, their fame will be stable for a few years.

He Guanchang thought that Qiao Feng's movie this time would definitely be a big hit in Europe and the United States like the Die Hard series.

But he clearly misunderstood.

Because this movie is called the Red Fan District.

The red fan area of the original time and space is a movie that allows Cheng Long to enter Hollywood in the real sense.

It is with the Red Fan District that Cheng Long was able to sweep away the shadow of the killer trench and the failure of the cannonball speed, successfully gain a foothold in Hollywood and develop into a Chinese kung fu superstar in Hollywood step by step.

The movie is about Hong Kong policeman Ma Hanqiang who came to New York, USA, to attend the wedding of his uncle Ma Bi.

Uncle Bi once opened a supermarket in New York with Han Qiang's father, and now he is ready to sell it cheaply because he is unbearable to be harassed by gangsters.

Han Qiang, who did not know the truth, warmly received the buyer and sold the supermarket to Ms. Yiling, thus opening the door to right and wrong.

After Yiling's supermarket opened, she was often harassed by Tony's group of unemployed vagrants in the Red Fan District of New York, who ate and took at will in the store, bullying the clerks, and Han Qiang, who was so upset, often went to the store to help Yiling and beat away the gangsters.

One night, Han Qiang heard a girl's cry for help and rushed to help, but he fell into the trap of Tony's gang and was beaten all over his body.

Danny, a neighbor's disabled child, finds out and calls his sister Nancy to bandage his wounds, the same girl who pretended to call for help.

Hanqiang and Danny become good friends, and Nancy gradually falls in love with this Chinese boy.

But in a chance encounter between the mafia and the bandits, Danny's chair became the target of the mafia and the police because it was hidden by Tony's gang with stolen goods.

Later, Tony's gang who harassed Yiling repented under the lessons of Han Qiang's fists and truth. Han Qiang cooperated with the New York police to go deep into the mafia's lair and rescue the hostages: Nancy and Danny.

The film did well at the box office, earning $32.34 million in North America.

Of course, the current Cheng Long is not the unknown Cheng Long in Europe and the United States in the original time and space.

The current Cheng Long is one of Hollywood's top action superstars, and his fame is even greater than that of the original time and space, when he was at the height of Hollywood, after filming the Rush Hour series.

Naturally, the box office will be much higher when it is released.

But based on the fact that the starring roles in this film are all Chinese, Cheng Long, Dong Biao, Anita Mui and other villains are white, of course, the most important thing is that this film is basically all fist and foot action rather than hot gunfight action scenes, so the box office is definitely not as good as the Die Hard series.

(Insert a sentence, the actress Ye Fanghua who plays Nancy in the red fan area is really beautiful, and she has a good figure.

And she looks good, much stronger than Lucy Liu.

But Lucy Liu can mix in almost a second-tier position, but Ye Fanghua can only play some supporting roles in Hollywood movies that are not heavy, and play soy sauce in American dramas, it's a pity.)

Back to the point, it is most appropriate for Qiao Feng to cooperate with Golden Harvest in this film in the Red Fan District.

Because this film is definitely making money, although it will definitely not make as much money as Golden Harvest expected.

But this film is praised by Cheng Long, the first brother of Golden Harvest, so even if the income does not meet the expectations in his heart, Golden Harvest can't say anything.

On the contrary, the Shaw Brothers can't just take a movie out and cooperate.

But if it is a big box office profit, Qiao Feng is really reluctant to take it out and let Shaw Brothers get a piece of the pie.

But if it doesn't make much money, Shaw Brothers will definitely not be satisfied.

Dilemma.

However, what movie to work with Shaw Brothers is not the most important thing at the moment.

The most important thing is to organize a film festival.

After going back, Qiao Feng communicated with the company's senior management about this matter, some agreed, and some were worried.

What I am worried about is that I feel that Hong Kong already has an Academy Award, and there is an award in the entire Chinese-speaking circle, and whether another award can be accepted by everyone.

There is also a similar to He Guanchang, if there is no country behind this kind of international A-class film festival, can it be started, and if it is done, it will be regarded as a British award or a national award after the return, etc.

And those who agree with it either feel that holding an award is conducive to expanding the company's influence, and it is also conducive to giving honor to the company's artists and films.

Either he blindly trusts Qiao Feng and thinks that everything Qiao Feng does is right.

But in any case, the majority is in favor.

That's enough.

Arrange people to do the plan, set the rules, the process, involve the trophy and so on.

Qiao Feng means to do it vigorously and resolutely, and strive to hold the first film festival in the second half of the year.

In the first year, you must not want to qualify for an international A-category film festival, because this needs to be recognized by the International Association of Film Producers.

And a film festival that has not actually been held, how can people recognize you.

It will be held for one or several sessions first, and then the International Film Producers Association will recognize your qualifications and abilities, and feel that your qualifications, abilities, awards and scope are attached to the conditions of international A-category film festivals, and people will recognize them.

And for holding an award or even a film festival, it is not too difficult in Qiao Feng's opinion.

Running a film festival can be done by an individual.

The Sundance Film Festival was founded by actor Robert Redford in 1984, but this film festival is specially designed for independent filmmakers, so it does not belong to the A category international film festival.

But when it comes to fame, it's increasing day by day, and more and more independent films are participating, awarding, and selling.

And the Hong Kong Film Awards was just a film that sold only tens of thousands of copies a year, and a few editors of the biweekly contacted some filmmakers to do it.

There were no nominations for the first session, there was no big venue, and there were few stars participating.

Now it has become one of the most influential film awards in Hong Kong and even in the discourse region.

What's more, Qiao Feng now wants money and money, and he wants people, so it's not a big problem to do it in half a year.

So, there's nothing to say, get started.
