Chapter 776: Hollywood is hard to enter
If it had been two years ago, Tang Wei might have rejected this excessive request again as he had rejected Lu Deshuang. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
It's a pity that Tang Wei is no longer the Tang Wei of two years ago!
Since stepping into this vanity fair, she can't go back.
couldn't help but feel that Tang Wei's eyes were slightly red, she didn't refuse, but prayed: "Chairman, I can agree to your request, and I will definitely satisfy you, but...... I hope that just this once, after that, please give me back my freedom, can you? Because her idea is very simple, that is, to taste Lu Deshuang's kindness with her body, and then take back her freedom.
"Wait!"
Lu Deshuang was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect things to turn out like this, it was obvious that Tang Wei misunderstood his meaning, and hurriedly explained: "Tang Wei, did you misunderstand, I didn't mean this at all, the sacrifice I was talking about was the role of Wang Jiazhi, there are a lot of passionate bed scenes, and it may even take three o'clock to leak!" ”
When Tang Wei heard this, he was instantly dumbfounded, and the whole person was embarrassed!
It's so shameful, there is wood; It's a shame to throw it at grandma's house, there is wood; I don't know what to do next against Lu Deshuang, there is wood, Tang Wei is like a steamed crab at the moment, if she can, she really wants to dig a hole here and then burrow her head into it.
"Ahem!"
Lu Deshuang also obviously felt the embarrassing factor in the air, and changed the topic: "Of course, not all shots need to be played in person, and you can also use naked. replacement, but even so, this movie will definitely bring you a lot of trouble, and may even let the upper authorities block you, but this movie can make you go abroad, so you go back and think about whether you want to take this role! ”
"Chairman, then I'll leave first!" Receiving the steps handed by Lu Deshuang, Tang Wei hurriedly stood up and said goodbye, because she really didn't want to stay any longer, and if she stayed any longer, she felt that she would definitely die of shame.
"Go ahead, think about it before you get back to me, because this choice is important and related to your own future, and I don't want you to regret it in the future!"
Unlike Li Bingbing, who first came to Hollywood, Lu Deshuang had no choice but to throw money at Li Bingbing, but now, Lu Deshuang has gained a firm foothold in Hollywood, and Tang Wei is obviously not suitable to take Li Bingbing's route, because Lu Deshuang can't throw money at Tang Wei like Li Bingbing.
Naturally, Tang Wei can't take Li Bingbing's route, after all, not everyone can be as lucky as Li Bingbing, as soon as he debuted, he ran into the excellent movie "The Hunger Games", and the investor is Lu Deshuang himself, regardless of losses, Li Bingbing can sit firmly on the heroine's throne.
Don't look at the great success of "The Hunger Games", but when "The Hunger Games" was being filmed, it was rumored that when Li Bingbing played the heroine, not only the outside media and peers were watching Lu Deshuang's jokes, but even the company's senior management strongly opposed Li Bingbing playing the heroine.
It's a pity that the opposition is invalid!
Because the company's senior management only has the right to suggest, and the decision is in Lu De's hands, Lu Deshuang insists on going his own way, and no one can stop him if he has to give the heroine to Li Bingbing, after all, this movie is invested by Lu Deshuang, and this company is also Lu Deshuang's, so naturally Lu Deshuang has the final say.
However, without exception, everyone is not optimistic about the future of The Hunger Games.
Take Cheng Long as an example, an international kung fu superstar who has a good influence in the United States and has made a lot of movies, take the Peak series as an example, when Lu Deshuang entered Hollywood, Cheng Long's second Rush Hour had a box office of about $226 million in North America, which is one of the few blockbuster movies with Chinese as the protagonists.
However, what you may not know is that Cheng Long's road to Hollywood was not all smooth sailing.
In 1973, the first Chinese movie star and kung fu superstar to achieve success in Hollywood, Li Xiaolong, died suddenly.
And who can succeed Bruce Lai and become the second kung fu superstar?
At this time, Cheng Long, who was lying on a salary, successfully stood out, relying on the three movies "Serpentine Trick", "Laughing Fist Tricks" and "Drunken Fist", which set box office records and became a kung fu superstar who quickly became popular in Southeast Asia at that time.
But in order to push Cheng Long to Hollywood and become an international superstar, the Golden Harvest Company at that time asked the Hollywood team to customize the movie "Killer Trench" for Jackie Chan.
Because Cheng Long was just a newcomer to the American market at that time, the salary offered by the American side at that time was 200,000 US dollars, and after tax deduction, it was only 100,000 US dollars, and at that time, Cheng Long was already an out-and-out kung fu superstar in Xiangjiang, with a salary of millions of Hong Kong dollars.
However, in order to break into the American market, this grievance is nothing.
It's a pity that even if Cheng Long lowered his price and starred in "Killer Trench", it was not accepted by American audiences.
As we all know, Cheng Long's style is different from that of Li Xiaolong, but it is a different way, which belongs to Cheng Long's unique style, but unfortunately Americans are deeply influenced by Li Xiaolong, and prefer Li Xiaolong's tough martial arts style, and are not interested in Cheng Long's comedy kung fu.
For example, Li Xiaolong will not be hurt when he is beaten, but will become more and more brave the more he fights; Cheng Long will be in pain when he is beaten, and even run away, but in the process of escaping, he uses terrain, props, etc. to defeat opponents, etc., etc., it can be said that in the hearts of Americans, Li Xiaolong is a hero and a superman, while Cheng Long is a clown, which does not conform to their understanding of Chinese kung fu.
Naturally, Cheng Long's first attempt to enter Hollywood came back in vain.
In 1981, Cheng Long broke into Hollywood for the second time with "Cannonball Speed".
This time, not only did a large number of famous American actors participate, but Xiangjiang also sent Xu Guanwen, the king of the first generation of comedy and the box office champion in a row. In the king of kung fu plus the king of comedy, two trump cards should always impress Americans, right?
But unfortunately, this film, which tells the story of racers around the world participating in an illegal race car, did not work as expected.
broke into Hollywood for the second time, and Cheng Long returned again.
It wasn't until fifteen years later that Cheng Long, who had become a Chinese film kung fu superstar at that time, broke into Hollywood for the third time with "Red Fan Zone", and finally broke into the mainstream market in the United States with his fists and the adventurous spirit of not using stand-ins.
"Red Fan Zone" is Cheng Long's first film with a production cost of more than 100 million yuan, in the movie, jumping from one building to another such a difficult and dangerous action, Cheng Long not only did not use a stand-in, but also succeeded once, and insisted on filming after being injured many times, and did not live in the hospital. Cheng Long's superb skill, dedication, and adventurous spirit that dares to challenge his own limits conquered the discerning Americans this time.
"Red Fan Zone" grossed more than $32 million in the United States, but the rights were sold for $5 million, and the merchandise and video sales earned nearly $100 million. For a movie starring Chinese people and not using American stars, this income can only be described as amazing.
If "Red Fan Zone" was an instant hit and allowed Cheng Long to gain a firm foothold, then the Pinnacle series is the work that made Cheng Long officially an international superstar.
Many people should have seen "Rush Hour" and think that it is far less hearty and exciting than Cheng Long's other films, and the plot is gripping, at most it is at a medium level, but it is undeniable that "Rush Hour" has been a huge success in the United States, which may be the difference between Chinese and Western culture and aesthetics.
And "Rush Hour" also broke many records in the United States, with a total box office of more than $800 million in three episodes, which is also the first time that a Chinese person has played an out-and-out leading role in a Hollywood production with a positive image.
But Li Bingbing is different, Cheng Long is already a kung fu superstar in Chinese entertainment movies, and with 20 years of hard work, he is really accepted by American fans, but what about Li Bingbing? Who is she? is only a little-known actor in China, what qualifications does she have to play the heroine of a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions?
It can be said that because Lu Deshuang insisted on wanting Li Bingbing to play the heroine, "The Hunger Games" has not yet been released, and it has been marked as hitting the street, which is no longer simply not optimistic, but Chiguoguo's discrimination.
In their opinion, Li Bingbing played the heroine, and the movie was doomed.
