Chapter 331: Going to Hollywood for Development?
Seeing the documentary filmed by "Hero" for the first time, Zhou Bai was also very emotional, after all, he spent most of last year in the crew, and Zhang Manyu, who was sitting next to him, was already in tears, especially when he saw the video of his birthday, he was even more moved.
There are a lot of gains from filming this movie, and Zhou Bai himself has made a lot of attempts, and because of this, he has met Zhang Manyu and others, not to mention the increase in value, just the connections brought to him are already infinitely useful.
Surrounded by the media, the excitement finally dissipated, and Zhou Bai himself only answered questions about the "Hero" part, and then ended the interview session and returned to the backstage to rest.
"Here, you kid has been a bit of a bit of a bit of a news lately, so it's going to be a bit of a leisure. Li Lianjie also walked in not long after, and saw Zhou Bai, who was reading a magazine there, and said, Xiaocao, who was sitting next to Zhou Bai, hurriedly said hello to Li Lianjie.
"Brother Lianjie has finished the interview? I am only responsible for ignition, Mr. Zhang is the chief helmsman, I know the questions they want to ask, but I still don't respond, now that the publicity effect is almost there, I will push it again and estimate that Mr. Zhang will be busy." Zhou Bai put the book down and said with a smile.
"Let's just say that you are very smart and know the scale, Director Zhang invited you to make a lot of money, you will know how to advance and retreat, you are so smart and talented, you are definitely very suitable in the entertainment industry. Li Lianjie sat down next to Zhou Bai and quipped.
Xiaocao saw that Li Lianjie was going to chat with Zhou Bai, and flashed out quietly.
"I don't really like to participate in the hype of the topic, but in this circle, some things are unavoidable, and Brother Lianjie should feel it more deeply than me. Zhou Bai shook his head helplessly and said.
"This is true, the environment is changing really much now, especially in our country, the development can be said to be changing with each passing day, even I am very uncomfortable, but then again, there are many people who want to have qualifications like you and have no chance. Li Lianjie said with emotion.
"I have nothing to envy, if it weren't for Mr. Zhang's support behind my back, I'm afraid that my saliva would drown me. Zhou Bai said half-truthfully.
"You're just too modest. By the way, have you ever considered developing abroad?" Li Lianjie shook his head and smiled bitterly, and then asked.
"I don't have much reputation abroad, and if I go there to develop, I'm afraid I'll hit walls everywhere, and the environment there may not be so ideal. Zhou Bai was not surprised by Li Lianjie's question, but only spoke after a few seconds of silence.
"You're right, the environment there is even more cruel than in China, especially the actors with Asian faces, even if it's me, I still have to play the villain for the first time in a Hollywood movie. Li Lianjie was a little surprised by Zhou Bai's calmness, and agreed with his words.
"There are some well-known, "Hero" is a chance for you to go out, the current space in China is still too small, you are now a veritable first student in the mainland, and if you stay, I am afraid that the upper limit is about the same, it is better to try first. Li Lianjie continued.
"Isn't Brother Lianjie optimistic about the domestic market?" asked Zhou Bai curiously.
"It's not that I'm not optimistic, it's just that it still takes time, now it's difficult for us to find a young actor who is famous in Hollywood, Ziyi has done a good job, but there is no actor left, you might as well give it a try if you have a chance." Li Lianjie shook his head and sighed.
"You are so optimistic about me? Most of the films I have acted in before are literary films, but no one knows who I am abroad, and I am afraid that I will hit walls everywhere from scratch, and I am not afraid of failure, but I think it is a waste of time, and it will gradually get better in China in a few years. Zhou Bai said with a smile.
"I'm forty years old, it's great to play for ten or eight years, and I can't play young roles, most of them are still action movies, I'm afraid that action actors will break down after me, you are young and energetic, you still have real kung fu on your body, and your prospects are brighter than mine, if you can have an excellent action actor, it is also a lucky thing, and you can not only act in action movies. Li Lianjie said seriously.
"There are still domestic action actors, and their achievements in the field of action movies are much better than mine. Zhou Bai said noncommittally, the people Zhou Bai said were Zhao Wenzhuo and Wu Jin, and Li Lianjie didn't need to be named.
"They can't even break into the Xiangjiang film industry, the action foundation is good, but it's a pity that they have missed the era of pure action movies, Hollywood will have higher requirements for actors in the future, and at the same time, the whole world is competing, and they are more likely to waste time in the past, which is why I am optimistic about you, your acting career is wider than all of us. Li Lianjie said with a wry smile, the expression on his face was quite complicated.
"Don't underestimate the problem of drama, it's true that kung fu movies are popular in Hollywood, but it's difficult for pure action actors to get ahead, unless it's someone like Cheng Long and me who has already become famous, you're different, you can also have resources yourself, you can shoot a lot of scenes, there is no problem with the language at all, and the image is good. ”
Zhou Bai had a thoughtful expression, and if he had no idea about what he said, it would be a lie.
Li Lianjie's meaning Zhou Bai understands, nothing more than hopes that Zhou Bai can try to develop in Hollywood, return to China and try abroad, if it goes well, there will be an actor like him in the mainland in a few years, and there is no need to worry about the problem of no successor.
Li Lianjie knows his own things, he has gradually become more and more powerless when filming, and he feels more and more the pain of being restricted in the act, he sees many possibilities in Zhou Bai, so he also wants to encourage him to try to develop abroad.
Li Lianjie feels that an actor like Zhou Bai is rare, after becoming famous, he can still maintain unremitting efforts and be steady, and he has crossed the language barrier, this kind of actor with acting skills, resources, and talent is too rare.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Zhou Bai knew what Li Lianjie meant, and he talked so much to himself to encourage himself to try to develop internationally, although he didn't say how much it would help him, but he was undoubtedly willing to play the role of a leader.
"You guys are walking so fast, I'm left outside for an interview, what are you talking about?" Zhang Manyu walked in, which also made Zhou Bai, who was a little distracted, break his train of thought.
"I was telling Xiaobai that he could go to Hollywood to try it, what do you think?" Li Lianjie did not hide it, and said what he just talked about very bluntly.
"It doesn't matter, try it when you have the chance, anyway, you have no problem with English, good acting, and kung fu, it's possible to develop over there, hey, you're really good at it, if I wasn't much older than you, I would really pursue you." ”
