Chapter 597: You won't be able to use it if you give you a chance!(4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)
If thirty years later, if you want to ask who the most influential Chinese star in the world is, then Cheng Long will definitely be a living role model.
In fact, Ja has become a Chinese symbol to a certain extent, even more so in Hollywood, many top movie stars are very good friends with Cheng Long, and the younger generation of movie stars regard Cheng Long as an idol, which is played with real kung fu.
It is also the best interpretation of his acting career.
Stallone is also an action actor, and his respect for Cheng Long is also because he saw Cheng Long's filming process, for example, when Cheng Long filmed "Weilong in the Western Regions", he brought his own family class, at first Hollywood did not agree with Cheng Long's family class, but when they saw the work attitude of the family class, they were deeply impressed by the family class.
When Cheng Long and Wu Jianye talked on the phone before, he told Wu Jianye that now there are many crews borrowing people from him.
Nowadays, the symbol of China is not only Cheng Long, but also one more Wu Jianye, although Wu Jianye's reputation in Hollywood is not very good, but the fame alone is higher than Cheng Long.
Cheng Longhuo's is only a movie, while Wu Jianye is almost all-round.
The two chatted for a while, and Mel Gibson and other movie creators also came to the hall, and it was obvious that the stars who came to help at this time had almost arrived, and the next thing was the process of the movie premiere.
This is no different from the process of later generations, after chatting about the filming process for a while, talking about the hardships of shooting, the movie begins.
Although Wu Jianye once watched "Lethal Weapon 2", it was only on the computer, and now it is also a pleasure to be able to re-watch this movie in the cinema.
There is an essential difference between watching movies in the cinema and watching movies on computers and mobile phones, so even if video software and 5G are popular in later generations, some movies will choose to premiere on video software, which will still not hinder the development of theaters.
Of course, regular 2D movies may be affected, but 3D and IMAX films will only have more box office appeal.
The content of the movie continues the style of the previous one as always, and the plot is more absurd than the first one, but the main selling point of this film is the scene of the detective played by Mel Gibson and Danny Glover laughing and scolding, as an action movie, the big scenes of action shootouts are naturally not missing, it can be said that as long as the level of this movie in this regard can continue the style of the previous one, there will be no problems.
What's more, Richard Donner also upgraded the scenes of this movie, which is enough to meet the audience's expectations for this film.
At the same time, what makes Wu Jianye appreciate more is that in this movie, Martin Rig, played by Mel Gibson, finally confided in the story of his deceased wife, and also found his new lover, making the character of Martin Rig more plump, and at the same time, it can also resonate with the audience!
In fact, this is a consistent trick of Hollywood movies, in Hollywood movies, any type of movie cannot lack the love part, just look at whether the love scene is long or short, and whether it can fit the plot of the movie perfectly.
James Cameron has done the most successful in this regard, whether it is "Titanic" or "Avatar", although these two movies have big scenes and shocking technology scenes, the core content is still love.
Watching movies like "Lethal Weapon 2", you don't need to bring too many brains, as long as you bring enough refreshment to people in this 110-minute storyline.
That's the benefit of popcorn movies.
As the movie ended, there was applause in the theater, Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani were also applauding, but Isabel Adjani looked a little listless.
She is not very interested in this kind of movie, in fact, like her character, what she pursues is not a popcorn movie, but the kind of literary film that can hit people's hearts, and at the same time, it can also allow some people to stay at home and enjoy it alone in a dimly lit environment.
In fact, this is also the way to survive literary films, literary films have never been determined by the box office, but more by the income of video tapes, which is the main income channel of literary films.
Why can Wang Sunglasses become a film master and a director that many investors are willing to invest in when almost every of his movies hit the streets?
It is because Wang Sunglasses' movies are very popular in the video tape market, coupled with the soil of European literary films, that Wang Sunglasses has gained his reputation.
However, this is not absolute, such as the film companies in Xiangjiang, they naturally know the trend of Wang Sunglasses in this regard, but why are almost no film companies willing to invest in Wang Sunglasses later?
That's because the return rate of Wang Sunglasses' movie is too slow, and there are too many uncertainties, and I don't know when I can finish investing in a movie of Wang Sunglasses, and I don't know when I can return to my capital.
So why do you still want to invest in his movies, with this time and money, you can invest in several of Wang Jing's movies.
In fact, an actor like Isabel Adjani is more suitable to appear in Wang Sunglasses' movies rather than purely commercial films.
However, although literary films can bring honor to actors, they cannot bring financial satisfaction, and the Hollywood goddess Scarlett Johansson in later generations actually made her debut in literary films, but why did she join the Marvel Universe later, it is because of the honor, you have to start chasing real money.
Shooting a Marvel Universe movie can bring Scarlett Johansson a salary of tens of millions, but if it is a literary film, then Scarlett Johansson's salary of 5 million is already at the ceiling level.
After the movie ends, it doesn't mean that the premiere is over, as the main creator, he will go on stage to tell the story of the filming again, and at the same time, he will also invite the stars who came to help to talk about his feelings.
Wu Jianye was also asked by the host how he felt after watching this movie.
"I'm glad I was able to sign a contract with Mel before the release of this movie!" said Wu Jianye.
Everyone also laughed when they heard it, judging from the experience of watching the movie, this movie is definitely an excellent popcorn movie, which also means that the box office of this movie will not be bad, if it can be a big hit, then Mel Gibson's salary will definitely rise.
Now that Wu Jianye said this, he was naturally optimistic about the box office of this movie.
After the premiere was over, 21st Century Fox, as the producer, also hosted a dinner to entertain the many stars who attended the premiere.
Mel Gibson had already come to Wu Jianye at this time, and personally invited Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani to their dinner, but Wu Jianye refused, there were everyone at the dinner, Wu Jianye was not interested in making a false deal with them, so it was better to return to the hotel to continue his creative career.
On the side of Lane Publishing Company, Linda's mother Dakota is operating, and it is already halfway through the completion of the acquisition.
"Then we'll see you in New York!" Mel Gibson said with a smile.
"See you in New York!" said Wu Jianye as he shook hands with Mel Gibson.
Then Wu Jianye said goodbye to Stallone, and the two sides also left each other's contact information, and agreed to sit down when they had time.
After walking out of the Huaxia Grand Theater, Wu Jianye and Isabel Adjani also separated.
.......
When Wu Jianye and the others were about to go to New York, Lauren Donner finally found Wu Jianye, and the manor in Beverly Hills was finally finished.
Wu Jianye took Zhao Fei, Chen Kaige, Tan Yang and others to the manor.
There is a big 'Wu' character on the iron gate of the manor in the center, and as soon as the gate opens, everyone's motorcade drives into the manor.
", Lao Wu, you can, it's awesome here!" After arriving at the parking lot, Zhao Fei couldn't help but exclaim.
If Zhao Fei was just surprised by the luxury in the manor, and Chen Kaige, who has been in Hollywood for more than a year, is shocked by Wu Jianye's financial resources!
Once upon a time, he also asked about the housing prices here, but the answer he got in Honghuang made him extremely shocked, now Wu Jianye actually has his own property here, and it is the most luxurious type here, how can it not shock Chen Kaige.
"Mr. Wu, is it so profitable to make movies in China now?" Hong Huang also came over today, and now she is still infatuated with Chen Kaige, although she knows that Chen Kaige no longer treats herself like before, but she still hopes to save the heart of this director through her own efforts!
Wu Jianye smiled: "In fact, when you return to China, you can also buy a few more houses, from Los Angeles in fact, you can see the domestic housing prices in the future, now the development of the country is advancing rapidly, and having a house of its own is the tradition of Chinese people, I believe that the domestic housing prices will rise rapidly in the future!"
Although Chen Kaige has not been in China for more than a year, it does not mean that he does not know the situation in China, and said: "Let's wait for this period of time!"
Everyone then came to visit the villa, and the luxurious scenery inside also surprised everyone.
Zhao Fei shouted: "No matter, I have to live here tonight, who will stay in a hotel with such a good place!"
Wu Jianye smiled and didn't say anything, the room here is enough for these people to live.
In the end, it was Hong Huang who proposed a BBQ by the pool at night, and everyone naturally had no objection to Hong Huang's suggestion, and Wu Jianye asked the next person to prepare.
Not only are there people in the manor who are responsible for the daily life and maintenance of the manor, but Wu Jianye also hired a housekeeper from Lauren Donner's suggestion.
Although Wu Jianye will stay in the United States in the past two years, to be honest, the time in Hollywood is not necessarily long, and it is good to have someone take care of it.
When night falls, everyone has changed their clothes and sat by the outdoor pool to start BBQ, and the weather in Los Angeles is like spring all year round, even now in July, there is still no feeling of stuffiness.
Several people sat together, carrying beer bottles in their hands, chatting casually.
"This is how people live!" Zhao Fei sighed while wearing a pair of big pants and a floral shirt on top of it, carrying a beer bottle in his hand.
Tan Yang smiled beside him: "Brother Fei, wouldn't it be better to have another beautiful woman by your side!"
Zhao Fei nodded: "It's still Tan Yang, you win my heart!"
Wu Jianye smiled on the side: "It's just for you, and you won't be useful!"
Zhao Fei said angrily: "Who said it, it was obviously ...... that day"
Speaking of this, I saw Hong Huang sitting next to Chen Kaige, and I didn't say anything more.
Although Zhao Fei didn't finish speaking, Hong Huang vaguely guessed something, but at this time, he could see Hong Huang's character, and he didn't get angry directly like an ordinary woman, but said to Zhao Fei with a smile.
"If you want beautiful women, I can find you a few, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it then!"
Zhao Fei's face was slightly red, the intersection between him and Hong Huang was more through Chen Kaige, and now the relationship between Chen Kaige and Hong Huang, Zhao Fei was naturally not good at refuting anything.
For this kind of person who can only play tricks, Wu Jianye has always looked down on him.
Now that Hong Huang is here, Wu Jianye will not say Chen Kaige, but it does not mean that Wu Jianye will let Zhao Fei go.
"It's not a shame to let Hong Huang introduce you, why don't my brother find you a few, you can try again, maybe you can do it this time?" Wu Jianye deliberately made the content unclear, which made Zhao Fei's face even more ruddy.
"Old Wu, it's so easy for you to have no friends!" Zhao Fei said through gritted teeth.
Wu Jianye smiled, and then asked Hong Huang, "What are Zun Long and Chen Chong doing now?"
Chen Chong participated in the filming of Cheng Long's "Weilong of the Western Regions" before, although he was also an artist brokered by Hera, but Wu Jianye didn't ask them about their current itinerary.
The platform Wu Jianye has already built for them, as for what it will develop into in the future, it depends on their own ability.
Hong Huang said with some envy: "What can I do, the two are in love now, very intimate, I called some time ago and heard that they were on vacation in Hawaii, and now I don't know where they are?"
Wu Jianye said: "Call and ask, if you are in Los Angeles, let them come too, it will be more lively when there are more people." ”
Hong Huang immediately smiled, Wu Jianye, Chen Kaige, Zhao Fei and others are classmates, and most of the topics they talk about are things from school, many times Hong Huang can't interject at all, and Zunlong and Chen Chong are different, they have been living in the United States for many years, and they have more common topics, and now when they heard Wu Jianye invite them to come over, they immediately took out the phone and called Chen Chong.
What made Hong Huang happy was that the two had indeed returned to Los Angeles, and immediately told the two of them the location of this place and asked them to hurry over.
More than thirty minutes later, the two came here in a car.
"Director Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time!" Chen Chong said to Wu Jianye with a smile, while Zun Long just nodded elegantly.
After the two sat down, Chen Chong said, "I originally wanted to visit Director Wu again tomorrow, but fortunately, Hong Huang called us!"
