Chapter 112: Meet Cheng Long
Cheng Long didn't expect Chen Jie to agree so happily, he suddenly woke up most of the time, looked at Chen Jie solemnly and said, "Ajie, you're not joking. ”
"Of course, if I'm joking, Brother Long, I won't have to fight hard with me." Chen Jie said with a smile.
"It's all in vain, I know best how many pounds and taels Ah Long has, and ten of them may not be your opponent." Hong Jinbao joked on the side.
"Senior brother, don't make fun of me, I'm really not joking." Cheng Long said.
Hong Jinbao saw Cheng Long's rare seriousness, so he asked, "Why did you remember to ask Ajie to write a script for you, haven't you always wanted to break into Hollywood!" ”
"How can it be so easy to break through, last time "Killer Trench" failed at the box office, and this time "Cannonball Speed" I am just a supporting role. And in the past two years, in order to break into Hollywood, I have almost put all my energy over there, and the popularity of Hong Kong has declined greatly! So now I want to make a movie to regain popularity. Cheng Long said depressedly.
Hong Jinbao understood Cheng Long's difficulties after hearing Cheng Long's words, and also wanted to help Cheng Long, after all, he was the junior brother he grew up with. So I saw that Chen Jie was about to speak to help Cheng Long ask for a script, but he didn't expect Chen Jie to open his mouth first.
"Brother Long, actually, I feel that it is very unwise for you to directly attack Hollywood now." Chen Jie said.
Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao looked at Chen Jie curiously when they heard Chen Jie say this.
"I can probably understand that Golden Harvest should have cultivated you as Li Xiaolong if you let you hit Hollywood, but you are not Li Xiaolong after all. Although Li Xiaolong is a native of Hong Kong, he attended university in the United States. At least he didn't have a language barrier. This is one of his strengths over you. In addition, Li Xiaolong is a true martial artist, which is what he has made famous in the United States with his fists. Brother Long, although you have good skills, you are still far behind Li Xiaolong. This is your second failure. In the end, Li Xiaolong worked as an actor in the United States for several years before returning to Hong Kong, and even the ratings of the Green Hornet starring him were hot. This makes Li Xiaolong quite popular after he doesn't have it, which you can't compare. At this time, your impact on Hollywood will only make everyone regard you as a substitute for Li Xiaolong, and compare you with Li Xiaolong, but unfortunately after such a comparison, you will have an immediate opinion. This is the root cause of your failure to break into Hollywood. Of course, the poor filming of the movie is also part of the factor. Chen Jie said.
Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao both fell into deep thought after listening to Chen Jie's words. After a while, Cheng Long looked at Chen Jie with some frustration and said, "Am I destined not to become an international superstar like Li Xiaolong!" ”
"It depends on how you look at it. It's okay to become an international superstar, but it's hard to become an international superstar like Li Xiaolong! Chen Jie said.
Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long looked at Chen Jie curiously after listening to Chen Jie's words, there should be no difference between the two in their ideological views.
"If Brother Long can form his own style and make a few good movies with a good script, it is actually very simple to become an international superstar, because it only needs our films to enter the international market. When the time comes, it will be natural for foreigners to know you. But it's hard to become an international superstar like Li Xiaolong. In fact, in my opinion, Li Xiaolong's greatest achievement is not to become a world-renowned movie star, but to write the word Chinese kung fu into the English dictionary. Therefore, if you want to become an international superstar like Li Xiaolong, there is only one way to go, and that is to be afraid of any challenges and fight all the way through the world with your fists. With an undefeated record like the world proven. Chen Jie said.
Hong Jinbao and Cheng Long both began to think after hearing Chen Jie's words. Cheng Long was thinking about what Chen Jie said about forming his own style. What exactly is your style? But Hong Jinbao is thinking about Chen Jie. Hung Jinbao is one of the few people who know Chen Jie's true skills. Although he didn't know everything, he knew from Huang Chunliang's words when Hong Jinbao usually drank tea with Huang Chunliang that Chen Jie's skills at the moment were definitely above Li Xiaolong back then. Thinking of this, Hong Jinbao looked at Chen Jie's eyes and couldn't help but be a little hot.
"Hehe, some of them are far away, let's get down to business. Let's discuss what kind of movie to make to help Brother Long regain his popularity. Chen Jie said.
Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao were once again aroused by Chen Jie's interest.
"First of all, it's definitely an action movie, and now Hong Kong film comedies are popular, so I think we should make a comedy action movie." Chen Jie said.
"It's like "Five Lucky Stars!" Hong Jinbao said.
"Yes, but it's still a little different, after all, there are still differences between Brother Long and Brother Sanmao. Then there's the issue of partners. Now the most capable of fighting on the screen of Hong Kong movie action movies should be the two of you and Brother Zhen, and the recent "Loser" and "Five Lucky Stars" have good results, so I think this movie will let Brother Sanmao and Brother Zhen play the starring roles together. In this way, the three of you are the three most capable on the screen now. That alone is enough to entice audiences into the cinema. Chen Jie said.
Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao's eyes lit up after hearing Chen Jie's words. I feel that Chen Jie's idea is good.
"Ajie, I don't dare admit you when you say that. Now that your "Ip Man" is out, the most capable player must be your kid. We don't dare fight you for this position. Hong Jinbao joked.
"Yes, I've heard that when you were filming Ip Man, you were surrounded by hundreds of old boys, Ajie, you and the senior brother practiced hands in nearly 100 people. I don't have the skills. Cheng Long also said. Cheng Long said this to compliment Chen Jie, he didn't believe that the two of them had this skill at all, especially his senior brother Hong Jinbao's skills, he still knew about it, to say that three or five people Hong Jinbao was absolutely fine, but if it was to be replaced by hundreds of people, Cheng Long didn't believe it. In Cheng Long's opinion, it should be the reporters who exaggerated the facts.
"It's so exaggerated, it's only seventy or eighty people, I only put a dozen of them, and the rest are all put by Applejack." Hong Jinbao heard Cheng Long talk about this and said with some pride.
Cheng Long was stunned when he saw his senior brother's posture, could this be true!
"Senior brother, I didn't see that your skills have improved so much during this time." Cheng Long said after coming back to his senses.
"Hehe, where is there any growth, it was thanks to Applejack at the time, otherwise I would have been injured even if I put seven or eight of them." Hong Jinbao said.
Cheng Long looked at Chen Jie in surprise after listening to his own Hong Jinbao's words.
"I'll forget it, after all, the three of you are senior brothers, so it's convenient to publicize it like this. And I've got a lot of things to do this year, so I don't have much time. Chen Jie said.
Hearing Chen Jie say this, the two didn't joke with Chen Jie anymore. Hong Jinbao remembered something and said, "A script like Applejack is not easy to create, if you want to estimate the characteristics of the three of us, it will not affect the integrity of the story, are you really sure?" Don't smash your signboard as a gold medal screenwriter. ”
Cheng Long also looked at Chen Jie with a worried face when he heard Hong Jinbao say this.
Chen Jie smiled and said, "Give me a little time, Brother Sanmao, I will leave the matter of "Mr. Zombie" to you recently, I have to study this script in retreat for the next few days." ”
When Hong Jinbao heard Chen Jie say this, he looked at Chen Jie with questioning eyes and said, "How do I feel that I have been caught by your kid again, are you sure that you want to retreat to write a script, not to be lazy for retreat!" ”
After Chen Jie listened to Hong Jinbao's words, he was a little embarrassed, he didn't expect his intentions to be guessed by Hong Jinbao, fortunately, Chen Jie's acting skills were still good, and he hurriedly pretended to be sad and said to Hong Jinbao, "Brother Sanmao, how can you look at me like this, it makes me sad too much." ”
"Less, I don't know about you kid, except for the one in your family, nothing can hit your kid." Hong Jinbao hit Chen Jie mercilessly.
It can be seen that Hong Jinbao really knows Chen Jie very well. The two argued for a while, Cheng Long watched it very interestingly on the side, and interjected from time to time to say that the three of them were still very happy at this meal.
