When the New Year came, the climax caused by Rabe's diary in the United States, and Levy, who was far away in China, finally knew about it.

Rabe's diary in the United States can be said to have set off an extremely fierce storm, and after the movie was played, it caused a lot of controversy. The most important thing Americans think about is their aversion to the war, and coupled with the war in Afghanistan and the situation in which the Americans are now repeatedly talking to each other with the Iraqi side, the post-war scenes reflected in this film have also raised the anti-war sentiment of the American people.

And in China, the film has also caused a lot of controversy. Although there are some voices of opposition who think that the film excessively glorifies foreigners and scandalizes the Nanjing army, and there are even some voices who defend the Japanese and believe that the Japanese also have a true, good, and beautiful side, the vast majority of the audience is extremely satisfied with such a film that is willing to express Japanese aggression on a large scale. After this movie, the people's emotions were also extremely emotional for a while, including nostalgia for Rabe and memories of the past.

The only regret is that this influence has not affected Japan. On the Asian side, because the movie involved the royal family member of the Chaoxiang Palace, Rabe's diary was directly banned in Japan.

Even, even the Japanese actor Teruyuki Kagawa, who played this role, was questioned and boycotted by many media in Japan for a while, and many people accused him of not playing the image of the invading army, which also made his life in Japan face pressure for a while.

And for this kind of pressure, after Levy heard about it, he also expressed it to him.

"If you're not happy in Japan, go to Hollywood and find me. Over there, I'll arrange it for you. ”

For Levy's kindness, Kagawa Teruyuki only expressed his gratitude. But he politely refused, "I don't think it's necessary, I want to stay in Japan." I starred in this movie because I thought that this role had to be played by the Japanese, who invaded and did what they did back then. It should be played by the Japanese, so that the reflection of the Japanese can be explained, since I have the courage to reflect. Then we have to have the courage to face the right-wing forces. ”

For his persistence, Levy is also quite impressed. However, in addition to admiring it, he also had some regrets: he wanted Kagawa Teruyuki to go to Hollywood to develop, which was not his joke. He said this to be true.

Because at this time. If you want to go to Hollywood, there are other Asian actors.

While filming on the Chinese side, Levy was also approached by others. Although Levy is very busy now, he still receives old friends the same.

Rabe's diary is now selling well, and it also makes people in Asia see that Levy is indeed helping Asian films to be released in the United States. Seeing this opportunity, Hong Fatzi in Hong Kong. After hearing that Levy was filming in Beijing, he ran here. Come and meet Levy and want to show his film in the United States.

This movie is his latest work, a kung fu film starring Zhen Bullet. Compared to before, he did listen to some of Levy's advice, and the fight scenes filmed in the movie were more realistic. However, the investment in this film is still a little small, the story is still a little scattered, and the chronic disease of kung fu movies has not changed. Hong Kong's population is too small, and it is still a problem that is difficult to reverse.

However, since he said that he would help him, Levy did not refuse, and asked Alexander to arrange this matter and help him contact the distribution company.

This incident made Hong Fat Man very happy, he originally wanted to throw stones to ask for directions, and seeing that Levi was willing to help, he was quite satisfied. And while he was happy, he also told Levy another thing: there were other people in Hong Kong who wanted to see Levy.

This time, it was another actor from Hong Kong, Zhang Guorong, who found Levy.

He had a one-sided relationship with Levy a long time ago, when Levy was not very well-known and he didn't take Levy's promises too seriously. But in a few years, Levy has gradually become a big name in Hollywood, and it can be said that he has made rapid progress. And in this case, Zhang Guorong has never contacted Levy - he is an interesting person, if it is a person with a similar status, he is still willing to cooperate, but with people whose status is too much higher than himself, even if he has some contacts at the beginning, he is not willing to climb high.

However, there are some things in life that make people feel unsatisfactory. Zhang Guorong lives in Hong Kong, and there are some things that bother him, and under pressure, he also wants to go outside.

At this time, Levy helped Fat Hong release the movie, and also asked him to inquire about Levy's personality, and after hearing that Levy was not bad, he also asked Fat Hong for help and found Levy. And after believing that Levy was indeed quite kind, he also asked Levy to help and go to the United States to rest for a while.

Zhang Guorong wanted to go to the United States, but this incident also made Levy a little unexpected. Levy had heard some rumors about Zhang Guorong, and in the early years, some people asked him to go to Hollywood for development, but because he thought that Hollywood always liked to belittle Asian culture and let Asians play the role of clowns, and refused to go to the United States for development. It can be said that he is more resistant to Hollywood - this resistance is actually not wrong, Chinese actors to Hollywood development, in fact, the road is not smooth, especially Chinese actors, except for martial arts stars, basically do not develop well, stay in Hong Kong, although it is less profitable than going to the United States, but it is definitely good for the career, this choice is also very wise.

However, now he has proposed to go to the United States to develop. Thinking of his memory, he was going to commit suicide in less than half a year, and the cause of death was also a matter of opinion, and it has not been conclusive, but many people believe that it was depression, and Levy also understood a little: it is estimated that he is not very happy living in Hong Kong, and the most important thing is not to develop his career, but to live in a different environment for a period of time.

Of course, Levy welcomes this: if nothing else, it is already very worthwhile to be able to keep him from dying.

However, Levy knew very well that he said that he was going to the United States to rest, but since he found Levy, it was definitely not really for rest. I heard that there are many reasons for his depression in Hong Kong, in addition to life, the biggest problem in his career is that he has been seeking to transform into a director, but no one is willing to help him. These are the problems he encountered.

This time, he was willing to go to the United States, firstly, because he was really depressed in Hong Kong, and secondly, because Levy still attached great importance to Asian culture, and he also wanted to try to see if Levy could give him some help.

And since you want to help him, then help him to the end.

"If you're willing to go to the United States, then you can do me a favor, I just have something I want you to do. I want to try to make a TV series and show a TV series in the United States. Of course, the TV series may still have Americans as the protagonists, after all, it is aimed at American audiences. But the main selling point of this TV series can be directly set to kung fu - in this way, the inclusion of some Chinese in the TV series will not seem abrupt. I hope you will play a more important role in the TV series, as the main supporting role, which can be regarded as a favor for me. Of course, if I can, I can also discuss, let the crew arrange for you to give you some opportunities to be a director, practice first, what do you think? ”

Levy knew that he did not directly propose to go to the United States to develop, just to leave himself room for maneuver, so Levy proposed it very tactfully.

This proposal surprised Zhang Guorong a little, he didn't expect that Levy gave him not a movie role, but a TV series role. He didn't really want to act in a TV series, but Levy was willing to let him try to be a director, which also made him hesitate.

In fact, the plan proposed by Levy was the best way he could think of.

It is very difficult for Asians to appear in American film and television dramas, because Chinese Americans are not the mainstream group, and it is difficult to satisfy the audience when they appear in film and television dramas: just like in mainland film and television dramas, there is no need to write an ethnic minority in a good story, and there are not many opportunities for Chinese actors in the United States.

However, kung fu film and television works can be said to be an exception. This kind of work can be said to be the last place for Hong Kong films, and it is still up to the Chinese to act in this kind of movie.

Levi moved this thought, also because he was a little dissatisfied with Hong Fatzi: two years have passed, and I can't imagine that Hong Kong people still don't have the courage to become bigger.

So, he decided to try it himself.

"Actually, this story is very easy to write, just write the story of an American teenager who met a Chinese girl who practiced martial arts, learned martial arts with her, and then fought with martial artists of various schools in the world. In this story, you can play the master of a Chinese girl, appearing as a wise man and a martial arts master in the TV series, and that's fine. ”

Levy's material, that is, some of the online novels of the national art stream that he once read: these novels are at least slightly more real than traditional martial arts films, although they are still far from reality, compared to the new martial arts genre, they are always more real, and some of these stories are still attractive, and they can also be filmed into film and television dramas, if they are paired with beautiful men and women, love stories, such TV series are also liked by some people - in Levy's conception, this movie is probably the same as superhero movies, Or the structure of the vampire hunter Buffy is similar, except that the protagonist's ability is not superpower but martial arts.

In Levy's memory, such things will really exist in Hollywood in the future, but what is more helpless is that they still can't get rid of Hollywood's traditional contempt for oriental culture, and the taste of the things they shoot is completely wrong. In this regard, Levy also considered whether he could shoot something to try fusion, and this experiment is worth doing.

And his experiment, of course, refers to the TV series - this thing is the best testing ground for him. (To be continued......)
