Chapter 134: Hollywood Again
Huang Zhan is a little irresponsible, he feels that the six songs given by Wu Cheng, each of which can be used as the title song of an album, is really a waste when put together.
Yes, the two of them each wrote three random poems and dealt with the matter!
In this regard, Wu Cheng could only roll his eyes in addition to rolling his eyes.
Although this guy has a point, it is somewhat unkind.
And what made Wu Cheng speechless the most was that this guy finally felt that the song he wrote was really ugly when put together with what he wrote, so he directly took a pen name to deal with it.
Seeing this, Wu Cheng had to give him a thumbs up.
It's really too chicken thief, there is wood?
……
At the same time, there is also news from Hollywood that Stallone's "Rocky" has finally contacted the theater chain and is ready to be released in late November.
However, the other party gave less curtains, and was only willing to give 300 yuan.
In the face of this situation, Wu Cheng is somewhat powerless, Donglong International is still very weak, and it is normal to be looked down upon. However, Wu Cheng still asked Shirley Lansing to try her best to do her best to get more curtains. At the same time, it also makes her ready to fight for next year's Oscar.
Hearing that Wu Cheng actually wanted to send "Rocky" to the Oscars, Shirley Lansing was a little speechless. But looking back and taking a closer look, "Rocky" is still a bit of potential at the Oscars.
After all, it's a very inspirational film!
For Wu Cheng, it doesn't matter whether "Rocky" can win an Oscar or not, the important thing is that he wants to see how much energy Shirley Lansing has.
Historically, "Rocky" won the Best Picture Award under the operation of MGM, and the others were all escorts. Wu Cheng estimated that "Rocky" fell into his hands, and it was estimated that it would be useless to win the award! But he also wanted to know how big the gap between his company and others was.
Don't say that the Oscars don't have an insider, people even have an insider in the presidential election!
Donglong International tested the waters in Hollywood, first "Rocky", then "Home Alone", and finally for next year's "Star Wars", even if the first two films were unsatisfactory, as long as "Star Wars" can shine as it should, he will not lose.
But think about it, Wu Cheng thinks that those Hollywood theater operators are probably also the ones who see money, as long as the film can make them money, they are not afraid that they will not increase the screen.
Moreover, "Rocky" and "Home Alone" both have the potential to be big sellers, if "Home Alone" may not be accepted because it is ahead of its time, then "Rocky" will not have this problem at all. It's different from the previous life, but the company has changed.
If you just change these two items, the box office will not be good, and it can only be said that it is a 'crime of non-war'.
Lansing is going to hold a premiere of "Rocky", which can be promoted, and secondly, it can also make Donglong International's branch in Hollywood famous.
She asked Wu Cheng if he wanted to attend the premiere of "Rocky", and Wu Cheng felt that he seemed to need to go. After all, he is the big boss of the film company.
When making a name for himself in his film company, if he doesn't show up, it seems a little unreasonable, like a brocade night walk. Moreover, a trip to Hollywood can also give the headquarters in Xiangjiang a reputation, in any case, Donglong International can also be regarded as entering Hollywood. In this way, Donglong International has become the first film company in Xiangjiang, and it is almost effortless.
After ending the call with Lan Xin, Wu Cheng made a call to Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun, wanting to see if they had time to go to Hollywood to have fun, and also to improve their fame by the way.
As a result, Lin Qingxia was filming, and Deng Lijun was preparing for a concert in Nanyang.
Back at Repulse Bay Villa in the evening, Wu Cheng asked Zhao Yazhi if he could take time to go to Hollywood with him in two days. Zhao Yazhi was a little strange and said, "What are you going to do?"
Wu Cheng sandwiched chopsticks for Zhou Huimin, who was eating on the side, and said: "The movie invested by our Donglong International branch in Hollywood is released, and we are going to hold a premiere. And you're the boss of the company......"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Yazhi glanced at him, as if he was hiding his ears and stealing the bell.
Wu Cheng chuckled, looked at Zhou Huimin, who was staring at the starry eyes, and asked with a smile: "Xiaomin, Brother Cheng asked you, do you think, is your Sister Zhi Brother Cheng's wife?"
Aunt Chen couldn't help but look at Wu Cheng's appearance of playing treasure, as well as Zhao Yazhi's shy appearance. In her opinion, the pair in front of her can be said to be the golden boy and girl, and they are the most right!
However, she definitely didn't expect that in her eyes, Wu Cheng, who was very reliable, would hit her daughter who was not yet ten years old. If she knew, I don't know what she would think.
Zhou Huimin looked at Zhao Yazhi with some ignorance, then looked at Wu Cheng, and then asked, "Brother Cheng, what is a wife?"
“……”
Seeing Wu Cheng's embarrassed face, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but chuckle, and then gave Zhou Huimin a mouthful of food, and said, "Xiao Min is so good!
Wu Cheng didn't know if Zhou Huimin really didn't know, or if he didn't know, but obviously, he couldn't ask her such a question anymore. So, he had no choice but to look at Zhao Yazhi and said, "You just sue me directly, just go if you want to! I'll take care of the rest!"
"Brother Cheng, what kind of place is Hollywood? is it fun?" Zhou Huimin asked with a curious look on his face.
When Zhou's mother Aunt Chen heard this, she couldn't help glaring at her daughter, Wu Cheng was willing to let their mother and daughter sit down and eat with them, which was already very face-saving for their mother and daughter. But lately, her daughter has become more and more bold, and it seems that she really regards this place as her home, which makes her a little worried.
Wu Cheng smiled, stopped Aunt Chen's reprimand, and said with a smile: "Hollywood! It's a very fun place for you children! However, for some adults who want to find things to do there, it's not a good place! Well, when you grow up, Brother Cheng will take you there to play and let you see for yourself whether that place is good or not!"
"Okay, don't forget it, brother Cheng!"
"I won't forget, let's eat!"
Wu Cheng said, gave her another bite of food, and then looked at Zhao Yazhi.
Zhao Yazhi was helpless, so she said: "Okay, you can do it!"
Wu Cheng clenched his fists excitedly and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll arrange it when I go back!"
……
On the morning of November 18, Wu Cheng pulled his suitcase, took Zhao Yazhi, and boarded the plane to Los Angeles with Hong Jinbao and Shenglong.
Donglong International's branch in Hollywood, for Hong Jinbao, they did not dare to continue to invest, so they were renamed 'Dream Factory' by Wu Cheng, and Wu Cheng had already arranged for Lan Xin to deal with this matter.
Although neither DreamWorks nor Shenglong have shares, they feel that sooner or later they will enter Hollywood. Yes, Wu Cheng just mentioned it slightly and asked Hong Jinbao if he would like to go to Hollywood to play, and Hong Jinbao agreed.
Originally, it was said that Wu Cheng would leave first, but Hong Jinbao felt that since he wanted to play, it would be better to play for a few more days, anyway, they all came out, and it was not bad for those two or three days.
There are no bodyguards who hug them, and there are no reporters who surround them, and the entertainment reporters in this period are not as crazy as later generations. Wu Cheng and them traveled, but they didn't attract much attention.
Shenglong's peers made Wu Cheng a little helpless, this guy is a troublemaker, who knows what kind of nerves he has, and he actually ran over to join in the fun.
"Ah Cheng, you are so unkind, go to Hollywood to live and call me Senior Brother, but you don't call me!"
As soon as they met, Shenglong complained to Wu Cheng, feeling that he was wronged.
Wu Cheng rolled his eyes a little speechlessly, and said, "Your 'Drunk Er' has finished filming?"
In a word, Shenglong shrank his head in embarrassment, and sneered: "Although I haven't done it yet, it's been nearly a third of the filming, and it just so happens that all the dragon and tiger martial artists on the crew have been injured in the past two days, and Director Yuan gave us a few days off, hehehe......"
When it comes to Shenglong, Hong Jinbao is also helpless, among several junior brothers and sisters, he is the skinnest and thick-skinned, and Hong Jinbao has no problem with him. thought that Wu Cheng could educate him, but he found that Wu Cheng seemed to have no way to take him, so he had to go with him.
Wu Cheng didn't really have no way to take Shenglong, after all, Shenglong in this period was not the big brother in the film industry in the future, if Wu Chengruo really wanted to rectify him, there was a way.
But if you think about it carefully, this big brother in the film industry in later generations has such a temperament, and it is useless to fix him, it can only make him hate himself in his heart. In that case, it is better to let him go.
Just don't get into too much trouble anyway. Moreover, this guy will definitely come to Hollywood in the future, and now it can be regarded as letting him come out to explore the situation first.
As for the naïve idea of what Hong Kong films will beat Hollywood blockbusters, Wu Cheng will not have it. But that didn't stop him from coming to Hollywood for a stroll and going back with some dollar bills by the way. If the Hong Kong film is shot well, it is still possible to circle the dollar bills and go back, just like Mr. Li Xiaolong!
"If you want to go out and have a look, I won't stop you!" Wu Cheng looked at Shenglong and said, "However, I have to make an appointment with you for three chapters, over there, don't mess around, even if you want to find a big Yanma, you have to put on a condom for me, so as to save me from contracting a fatal disease......"
As a result, before Wu Cheng could speak, there was a pain in his waist, and Zhao Yazhi, who was sitting on the side, stared at him with a tiger face, as if he felt that Wu Cheng's words were too explicit and too ugly.
Hong Jinbao and Shenglong saw the twitching appearance of the corners of Wu Cheng's mouth, and they were also secretly laughing, as if they were laughing at Wu Cheng This is nothing to do, going to Hollywood where there are many beautiful women, and actually taking women with them.
Moreover, who is not good to bring, but also with the main house to go out, can this still be hilarious?
In the eyes of Hong Jinbao and Shenglong, Zhao Yazhi is Wu Cheng's main house, and other women can only be regarded as partial houses. Who told Wu Cheng to 'cohabit' with Zhao Yazhi as soon as he came to Hong Kong!
It can be said that Wu Cheng is Zhao Yazhi's 'single-handed'!
How can this word look a little evil?
What a drunk!
