Chapter 901: Learning from the example

"Why choose me!"

Xu Qian asked such a topic!

His life is indeed legendary, but it is limited to China!

But this is not necessarily the case in the eyes of Westerners!

Hollywood is a gathering of the world's elites, and Xu Qian may not be anything in the eyes of those people!

After all, he is a yellow race, and he is a Chinese, and discrimination against skin color has always existed!

Malone replied: "We have studied you carefully and found that you have not failed until now, and we are willing to gamble!"

"And after all, you are the screenwriter of "The Departed" and "Infernal Affairs", you know the "double undercover" model best, and no one is more suitable to be the director of "The Departed" than you!"

Malone explained!

It can be said that Warner is really bold, which is why since the new century, only Warner and Disney have developed the best among the traditional Hollywood giants!

Warner relies on its excellent marketing, as well as its extraordinary vision, and at the same time "dare to bet big"!

If it were Paramount, Fox, or Columbia, it might not have such courage!

"What do you think?"

Malone asked again!

He is full of confidence, and he believes that no one can resist the temptation to direct a Hollywood blockbuster!

Especially for a Chinese, this is simply a shortcut to the sky!

Xu Qian replied, "Let me think about it!"

Forehead.........

This answer directly stunned Ma Long!

"I even said that I should think about it, shouldn't I just agree!"

Ma Long didn't think about it, Xu Qian reacted like this!

In his expectation, Xu Qian should have agreed immediately in the face of such a temptation, but now he said that he would consider it!

Xu Qian's answer has his own considerations!

"Is it really good to go to Hollywood?"

Xu Qian thought about Wu Baige in another world!

In 1993, Wu Baige officially went to the American film industry to develop, and in the same year directed his first Hollywood film "The Ultimate Target", after the film was launched, the American "Los Angeles Times" made John Woo a front-page figure, the film grossed about 30 million US dollars in the United States, and this achievement also won John Woo a contract for the next film.

In 1996, he directed the gunfight action film "Broken Arrow" starring John Travolta and Kristen Slater, which achieved a box office of more than $70 million after its release.

In 1997, he directed the action drama film Changing Face, which starred Nicolas Cage, John Travota, Alessandro Nivola, and others. In this film, Wu Baige's style of dealing with characters is different from the past, he not only focuses on portraying the strength and gentleness of female characters, but the protagonist of the film is also between good and evil. With an investment of $100 million, "Changing Face" was released in the United States on June 27, 1997, and won the box office champion in the United States in July.

In 1999, directed by Tom Cruise, Doggray Scott starring the action movie "Mission Impossible 2", on May 14, 2000, the film was released in the United States, "Mission Impossible 2" is Wu Baige's fourth film shot in Hollywood, this film not only won hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office in the United States, but also has been released in Japan, Southeast Asia and other places.

At this time, Wu Baige seems to have reached its peak!

In May 2002, he left his handprint at the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, becoming the first Chinese director to receive this honor!

At this time, he is dazzling and can't be looked at directly!

But everyone knows what happened later, Wu Baige's "Wind and Rainer" not only pitted himself, but also pitted MGM!

In the end, he was kicked out of Hollywood, and Hollywood does not tolerate losers!

Later, Wu Baige filmed "Red Cliff", "Taiping Wheel" and other giant pits, and the momentum is not as good as it was back then!

It can be said that Wu Baige is not as good as Xu Lao Wei in the hearts of the Chinese people!

Even if he once founded the "aesthetics of violence"!

But he is not as good as the impression of Xu Laowei, who has been committed to carrying forward traditional Chinese culture, in the hearts of everyone!

So what's the point of going to Hollywood?

Let's talk about Lin Qingxia, she didn't go to Hollywood to develop, but she became a sign of the times, and her dazzlingness is better than all the actresses of her time!

Even "Gonghuang Manshen" may not be better than "Lin Qingxia" in the hearts of the Chinese people!

Being a star based on this nation is not necessarily inferior to going to Hollywood!

After all, it is too difficult for a yellow person to go to Hollywood to develop!

Do you want to be Ang Lee?

But Li Ang's shot is not a Chinese movie at all, although he is still a Chinese on the outside, but he is already a American in his heart, that is, the legendary yellow skin and white heart!

Is Xu Qian willing to be such a person? Obviously unwilling!

And Xu Qian never felt that Chinese culture was lost to rice culture!

So why the culture of the United States can invade the world is not because its national strength is the first in the world!

Just like our Tang Dynasty, at that time it was not to export culture to the world!

In the final analysis, it is still a question of national strength!

The economic base determines the superstructure and determines the cultural output, this is Xu Qian's view, and this is not something that a genius can change!

But being a Hollywood director is also a temptation!

Suddenly, Xu Qian thought of someone!

He's a great role model!

That person is Kung Fu Dragon!

Kung Fu Long has been criticized by many people after arriving in the new century, because of his son and some of his black history!

But his attitude towards movies is still very respectable, the movies he shoots are basically high-quality, no matter how bad they are, they can't be bad, and he dares to play with his life!

As a result, he became the most successful kung fu superstar since Bruce Lee!

Even he has actually surpassed Bruce Lee!

It's just that Bruce Lee's life is too short, too brilliant, and too legendary, which makes people feel that Kung Fu Long is not as good as him!

Although so many people criticize him, I have to admit that he is one of the most influential artists in China, which can be called a business card of China, not to mention that he also won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award!

It seems that Akira Kurosawa is the only one in Asia who has this honor!

Why is Kung Fu Dragon so awesome?

Not only because of the "kung fu comedy" and "dare to play life" he created, but also because of his special positioning!

His positioning has been the same for decades, it is such a label, and it has not changed at all!

What is the place where Xu Qian wants to learn Kung Fu Dragon?

Kung Fu Long sometimes often speaks hilarious and says the wrong thing!

But he has one thing to learn from all stars!

One of the advantages of this is "patriotism!"

No matter on any occasion, he tried his best to promote the goodness of the country, he often wore "Tang costumes" abroad, and when there was a disaster in the country, he also issued a call for the first time!

This is really admirable!

What Xu Qian wants to learn is the patriotism of "Kung Fu Dragon"!

The wisest thing about Kung Fu Dragon is that although he has developed in Hollywood, he has never given up on the domestic market, because he knows where his roots are and where his base camp is!

Xu Qian wants to learn this, it's okay to go to Hollywood to develop, but don't forget your roots, don't forget that your base camp is in China, there is your foundation, even if you fail to break into Hollywood, you have your own foothold!

And only in the "Chinese-speaking region" is he the most brilliant superstar!
