Chapter 252: Chinese Artists Gather

In the following week, Christina disappeared completely, and Lin Xiao's words had too much impact on her, and the first thing she investigated was not the new line, but the two rooms.

And this week, Lin Xiao personally visited the three legendary directors, this is a troublesome matter, Hollywood's big directors are waiting to pass on their experience, Wu Yusen will not arrive until two days later, since he has finished the jet lag, he should visit these local snakes, he can't gather all the big directors to give public lectures, he can only visit one by one.

During the day, he visited major Hollywood directors, and at night he and Qin Xin slowly wandered around Los Angeles.

The WMA moved very quickly, and the day after he changed his contract, a team of lawyers handpicked by the WMA was already standing behind Lin Xiao at any time, and just after the matter was over, he received his first invitation letter.

The invitation letter is very ordinary, to the effect that Lin Xiao is invited to attend a charity meeting in Los Angeles, the charity fund is used to support out-of-school children, and it is also a fund with a great background, but what really caught his attention was the inviter below.

Cheng Long! The big brother of the Chinese film industry finally extended his olive branch a week after Lin Xiao came to Hollywood.

He looked at the invitation playfully, Cheng Long is the best one to develop overseas, and his invitation is an invitation from all Chinese artists, and it is impossible for him not to go.

The scene will be held in Chinatown, he specially went half an hour in advance, generation this thing is very important to the Chinese, playing big names are generally not popular enough, real superstars, but it is difficult to see this kind of news.

The charity meeting was held at a hotel in Los Angeles, and as soon as he arrived, he was greeted by a middle-aged man with a smile on his face.

"Welcome, Mr. Lin's presence here is really a great addition to this charity meeting. Quick, please come in, Mr. Cheng Long, Mr. Li Lianjie, and Mr. Zhou Yanfa have been chattering for a long time. ”

Although Lin Xiao had expected that this would be a small-scale gathering between Chinese artists and him, he was also stunned when he heard this, "Even Brother Li and Brother Zhou are here?" ”

There were a few people at the door to greet him, and when he heard Lin Xiao shouting Li Lianjie and Brother Zhou Yanfa, there was no dissatisfaction, and now the salaries of the two are still hovering at four or five million, far less than Cheng Long's fifteen million, Lin Xiao's salary of 18 million, and the big stars praised by Hollywood directors call the two big brothers, which is respectful.

"Haha, Xiao Lin is here." Just then, a loud voice came from the hotel, and with this voice, a man of medium height walked out.

With thick eyebrows and big eyes, and a full head of thick black hair combed back, who else could it be if it wasn't the kung fu superstar Li Lianjie back then?

It's a pity that the years are not forgiving, Li Lianjie, who was popular all over China with Shaolin Temple, and then Huang Feihong and Fang Shiyu's fame resounded across the Taiwan Strait, is no longer as handsome as he was back then, with deep nasolabial folds next to his nose, and the muscles of his cheeks drooping slightly, everything shows that this kung fu superstar is no longer brilliant.

When he saw him, Lin Xiao felt a lot of emotion in his heart, their generation is the post-80s generation, not to mention them, even the post-70s, who in China doesn't know Li Lianjie? If you really want to count the box office, Shaolin Temple is China's first blockbuster to break 100 million! Later, after the 90s and 00s, I am afraid that it is not clear how deeply Li Lianjie had an impact on the Chinese at that time.

Shaolin Temple, Black Hero, Huang Feihong, Fang Shiyu, New Shaolin Group 5...... One film after another pushed him to a position even higher than Lin Xiao's status today, he could no longer develop in China, because he was too popular, so he set his sights on foreign countries.

It's a pity that Hollywood is not a paradise for artists, even if he is an Asia-Pacific superstar, popular in Japan and South Korea, but he is still sinking in Hollywood.

Now Li Lianjie is facing a dilemma, developing in Hollywood, obviously he does not have such works as Cheng Long's peak moments, returning to China, needless to say, the main moviegoers now are the post-90s generation, he is afraid that he will have to compete with a group of Xiaosheng for jobs, how can he swallow this breath? It's okay to shoot well, once the results are not good, then his reputation will be ruined, and the most important thing is that he is old, kung fu scenes are no longer as flexible as they were back then, and now is not the era of kung fu movies in the nineties.

He is faced with a situation where he has millions of salaries but no one invites him, but he can't return to China, and he can't enter or retreat.

Lin Xiao respectfully clasped his fists with both hands and saluted Li Lianjie, in the impression of the post-80s, this kung fu master will always live, he has brought him a childhood and an idol that will never fall in his youth, which is worthy of this worship.

Li Lianjie laughed and hurriedly helped Lin Xiao, who was bowing.

Cheng Long invited Lin Xiao because he had met Lin Xiao, who also belonged to the WMA company, and he knew that Lin Xiao had already got the superstar contract that he didn't get, WMA is one of the world's top five brokerage companies, and it is very necessary to have a good relationship with the Big Six. But Li Lianjie didn't know, he also knew that he was now in a situation where he had no market, and what he was worried about was that Lin Xiao was playing a big name, but the other party's respectful salute made him worry about it.

"Brother Li, can you ask for an autograph?" Lin Xiao said sincerely, in the previous life, Li Lianjie was the kind of unattainable red star, and ordinary fans like him couldn't get a signed photo, but now that he has this kind of opportunity, he doesn't want to let it go.

Li Lianjie was stunned for a moment, and the people next to him were also taken aback, artists rarely ask for signatures from other artists, just like famous singers who almost don't order other people's songs when they enter KTV, this is an invisible arrogance, Lin Xiao's move made Li Lianjie's opinion instantly change from "This is a very sensible artist" to "a good artist." ”

"Of course." He smiled and shook Lin Xiao's hand fiercely, "Wait until you get in." ”

Li Lianjie personally took Lin Xiao in, and the red star with a salary of 18 million asked him to sign it, which made him feel extremely happy.

Walking to the scene, Lin Xiao realized that this was a very ordinary hotel, and the people sitting in it were all Chinese with black eyes and yellow skin.

He knew almost no one.

"Ringo." "Mr. Lin." "Teacher Lin." As soon as he walked in, as soon as everyone saw him, they immediately stood up spontaneously, bowed slightly and shouted.

Everyone has worship on their faces, Chibi is the quintessence of China, and it has earned a good face for China in the world, and now they are in the crew, many people even ask them the story of the Three Kingdoms, you know, most of them are Chinese-Americans, basically newcomers, when did they receive this kind of treatment.

"Hello everyone." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Brother Lin looks very kind...... a tall Chinese man saw Lin Xiao being led by Li Lianjie to the first row, and said with envy on his face, "I was afraid that he would ignore us at first......"

"Hey...... Maybe I'll be able to get an autograph later! The woman next to her laughed in a low voice, "This is a big star of 18 million...... The highest salary of Chinese Americans, only two million short, can advance into the legendary 20 million club......"

They all whispered that Lin Xiao's sudden rise was a shot in the arm for all Chinese Americans, and the curse of Chinese artists who were unaccustomed to the soil was broken by this young man himself, and invisibly, Lin Xiao has become the idol of these Chinese artists who are struggling in Hollywood.

This worship is intangible, but it is the most sincere. has even faintly surpassed Cheng Long, who has accumulated prestige for a long time, after all, the success of Chibi is difficult to match at the peak.

When Lin Xiao walked by, everyone spontaneously greeted him and saluted, and Lin Xiao also smiled and returned the salute, which made this group of young people feel that Brother Lin is reliable.

Li Lianjie saw it in his eyes, and nodded secretly in his heart, even if Lin Xiao has experienced many open and secret battles in China, but abroad, all Chinese must have one heart! If Lin Xiao was just kind to him at the moment, and ignored these unknown newcomers, then the good impression he had just established would disappear in an instant.

He took Lin Xiao to the front row, Lin Xiao smiled when he saw it, they were all acquaintances, although one of them made him feel less pleasant.

Zhou Runfa, Cheng Long, and ...... Zhang Ziyi.

"Lao Zhou, Lao Cheng, Xiao Lin has arrived." Li Lianjie said this, and the person who was talking in front of him stood up and turned around with a smile.

Lin Xiao sighed with emotion in his heart.

Which of the three people in front of him is not a superstar in China in the seventies and eighties? Which one wasn't popular all over Asia at the beginning? They represent the impression of a generation, and even if they are not as popular as before, they are well-deserved spiritual examples.

"Brother Cheng, Brother Zhou." Lin Xiao also bowed sincerely.

This action obviously made Zhou Yunfa happy, his current status in Hollywood is on par with Li Lianjie, it is also priceless, and even more miserable, Li Lianjie entered Hollywood as a kung fu superstar, but he is not, at that time, the world relations were not as loose as in the future, and they were squeezed out from all directions.

"Xiaolin, young and promising." Zhou Yunfa shook hands with him, and Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Brother Zhou, can you ask for an autograph?" ”

"Haha, of course."

Lin Xiao looked at this Chinese superstar quietly, like Li Lianjie, his body has already gained a little fat, this kind of thing is unavoidable in the gym, when he reaches age, he will naturally lose shape, and similarly, he also has deep nasolabial folds, crow's feet at the corners of his eyes, even the most clever makeup artist can't stop it.

He sighed in his heart, these three, no matter what their current achievements are, but they are the pioneers of the road to Hollywood in China, without them, I am afraid that it will be a few years later for Chinese artists to enter Hollywood in the future, even if their salaries are not as good as their own now, but what they do is also worthy of his respect.

This Xu Wenqiang from Shanghai, the heroic little brother Ma, is no longer what it used to be, and he suddenly has some emotion in his heart, since Chibi can let Bao Guoan and others be nominated for the Golden Lion Award, he has the ability, why not join forces with the previous generation of Chinese superstars to make the entire Chinese artists make a bigger voice in Hollywood?

This...... can be regarded as the self who grew up watching their movies, and repay them a little bit for listening to them......
