After Teresa Teng's concert ended, reports from the outside world were naturally indispensable, but Chen Shaoyi didn't pay attention to them anymore, and after the matter was dealt with, Chen Shaoyi led Mi Xue and others to the United States. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chen Shaoyi's trip also included a blonde foreigner, a foreigner with a Chinese name called Du Kefeng, yes, he was later Asia's No. 1 photographer.
Chen Shaoyi, who understands the development of the Hong Kong entertainment industry, is certainly no stranger to Du Kefeng, and has been a frequent visitor to the Best Photography Award at the Academy Awards for a long time, and has long wanted to be included in it.
In terms of the overall situation of the movie, Chen Shaoyi has ready-made films in his head as a reference, where the shooting is correct and where the shooting is wrong, he can find it for the first time, which no one can compare. But in terms of specific hands-on, Chen Shaoyi can't be said to be a layman, but he is really not very strong, which has to be admitted. Although Chen Shaoyi's brain is better than ordinary people and he learns things quickly, it is difficult to learn the more complex and difficult subject of photography in just half a year.
It's okay to shoot a relatively simple movie like "Nightclub" at Chen Shaoyi's level, but it's urgent to shoot "Home Alone", which Chen Shaoyi himself knows very well.
So this time he went to the United States to shoot "Nightclub", Chen Shaoyi wanted an experienced photographer to help him. Du Kefeng, a frequent visitor to the Best Photography Award at the Academy Awards and the No. 1 photographer in Asia, was naturally the first to fall into Chen Shaoyi's eyes.
It's a pity that Chen Shaoyi didn't hear about Du Kefeng in Hong Kong before, which made Chen Shaoyi think that he had missed it, but he was surprised to learn that Du Kefeng is currently developing in Taiwan, serving as the photographer and editor of the Taiwan Television Company's travel program "Reflection Tour" and the Chinese Television Company's news magazine program "Sixty Minutes".
For Chen Shaoyi's invitation, Du Kefeng felt very interested, anyway, making movies is much more interesting than working in a TV station, many of the photographer's lens philosophies can be perfectly reflected in the movie, and Chen Shaoyi is the most topical cutting-edge director at the moment, this "Home Alone" may be released in the United States, which makes Du Kefeng excited. At that moment, Du Kefeng quit his photography job in Taiwan Television and China Television, and resolutely ran from Taiwan to Hong Kong to join Chen Shaoyi.
Although Du Kefeng is very famous in later generations, he is still average, and when Du Kefeng really came to take refuge, Chen Shaoyi hesitated, not knowing whether Du Kefeng should be in charge of the scene of "Home Alone".
However, after Chen Shaoyi talked with Du Kefeng, he found that Du Kefeng had faintly possessed the style of a master photographer, and his photography philosophy was very profound and imaginative, which made Chen Shaoyi, who was slightly involved in photography, feel unaware.
In 1970, when Du Kefeng was eighteen years old, he began his career as a sailor, and has been to many places around the world, and has studied at the Department of Literature of the University of Sydney in Australia, New Asia College of the University of Chinese Hong Kong, and the Department of Fine Arts of the University of Maryland in the United States. These experiences have given Christopher Doyle a certain understanding of local customs, and his artistic accomplishment is better than ordinary people.
In the end, Chen Shaoyi gritted his teeth and handed over the photography work of "Home Alone" to Du Kefeng, Chen Shaoyi thought that Du Kefeng's difference was not ability, but opportunity. Just give Du Kefeng a chance, it's like adding two wings to a tiger.
In any case, Du Kefeng is also the first "little brother" to defect to him, no, it is not too much to invest in him. It should be said that Chen Shaoyi does not want to give up this later Asia's No. 1 photographer, and it is absolutely necessary to tie him to his chariot now.
During this time, the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" continued to grow, and after half a month of screening in the United States, the box office of "Modern Bodyguard" has grown to more than $7 million, and I believe that it should not be a problem to break $10 million when the next painting is made. This result is no longer inferior to the total box office of "Modern Bodyguard" released throughout Asia, which shows the terrible box office in the United States.
This good box office not only benefited Chen Shaoyi, but also gained more for MGM, MGM accounted for 80% of the box office of "Modern Bodyguard". A movie from Hong Kong, which is not a kung fu movie, can achieve such an excellent box office, which is unthinkable to everyone.
Therefore, MGM still attaches great importance to Chen Shaoyi, Chen Shaoyi and others got off the plane, MGM sent people to greet Chen Shaoyi and others.
MGM not only values Chen Shaoyi, but also has some temptation for the new drama that Chen Shaoyi will shoot in the United States, and the two Hollywood actors Qiao and Dennis invited by Chen Shaoyi were recommended by MGM, so they naturally know that these two are comedians, so I guessed that Chen Shaoyi's drama is still a comedy.
Due to the high box office of "Modern Bodyguard", MGM still agrees with Chen Shaoyi's comedy very much, and also has a good impression of Chen Shaoyi's new drama.
"Haha, Chen, I finally see you again." Smith, deputy director of distribution at MGM, warmly hugged Chen Shaoyi and laughed.
"Modern Bodyguard" is a Hong Kong movie introduced by Smith, and Chen Shaoyi has several connections in Hong Kong, and the relationship between the two sides is not bad, so he is naturally responsible for the reception of Chen Shaoyi and his party this time.
For this kind of hugging etiquette in Western countries, Chen Shaoyi is really not used to it, and he feels awkward. Although Chen Shaoyi's figure is not tall, he is quite good among Orientals, but he is really weak compared to a bodybuilder like Westerners.
Maybe Smith drinks milk and eats beef all day long, and his body is quite tall, half a head taller than Chen Shaoyi, Chen Shaoyi was hugged by Smith so warmly, how do you look like Xiaoshou.
Chen Shaoyi struggled to break free from Smith's embrace, and said with a smile: "Mr. Smith, now that I have come to your United States, according to our Chinese tradition, you, the landlord, want to have a treat." ”
Smith often travels around Asia, and he still understands some of the traditions of the Chinese, and Chen Shaoyi immediately laughed when he said this: "Dear Chen, there is nothing wrong with this, I will take you to taste our American food." ”
Chen Shaoyi slandered in his heart: Is there any food in the United States? It seems that he has only heard of hamburgers, and this big guy doesn't want to invite everyone to eat hamburgers, which is a bit picky.
