Chapter 505: Cannonball Speed
After sitting for a while, the reporter specially invited by 20th Century Fox also arrived, just in time to do an interview for the four of them, ready to be published in the newspaper later. Of course, this kind of interview is an advertising interest, and it requires 20th Century Fox to pay for it.
However, after the routine interview with Hong Jingbao and the other four people, the reporters were more interested in Xu Guanwu, who was playing soy sauce on the side, and surrounded him together.
Hong Jingbao: The movie has not yet been released, so in the eyes of reporters, they are actually no different from passers-by. But Xu Guanwu is different, a well-known filmmaker in Hollywood, worth more than a billion dollars and has never failed in investment, has become one of the most famous investors in Hollywood.
At the same time, he has not appeared in Hollywood for two consecutive years, but the works invested by him have achieved good results one after another, which makes media reporters scratch their hearts and livers, and they can't wait to find him out for a good interview, and now I see him naturally refusing to let go of this opportunity.
Hong Jingbao and others watched with envy Xu Guanwu being surrounded by a group of reporters, and several of them were hot big wave girls, which made these four people drool, especially in order to interview Xu Guanwu, they almost had to stick to his body, and the two hemispheres on his chest were rubbing and rubbing there, so that these four people were almost spurting blood when they watched from the side.
However, Xu Guanwu was relatively calm, and the blonde and blue-eyed girl was no more than Erer in his opinion, and he was very malicious in guessing that he had either eaten hormones or had silicone pads when he grew so big.
Originally, he didn't want to be interviewed by these reporters, but he himself played a big name and didn't accept interviews, and those reporters didn't have a problem with him anyway. But if Hong Jingbao and others are implicated because of this. It was scribbled by these reporters all the time. That's why it's a big deal.
So Xu Guanwu had no choice but to put on a cooperative posture. Anyway, he has not been interviewed once or twice, and he has already practiced Tai Chi Mian to the point of mastery, as long as he doesn't want to answer the question, no one wants to say a sentence. And his words also brought Hong Jingbao and the four of them together, and he could always pull the topic to their heads when he went around, which also increased the exposure of Hong Jingbao and the four of them.
After the media interview. Xu Guanwu couldn't help but let out a sigh, "These reporters are like wild wolves, planning to eat me alive?" ”
"We don't know how much Lu Dao envies you, Mr. Xu, how proud it should be to be surrounded by so many reporters for interviews." Cheng Long smiled enviously on the side.
"Aaron, don't worry, you'll have that day soon." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "When the time comes, don't cry and say that you can't stand it." ”
"Why, I wish they all came to interview me." Cheng Long said with a smile.
"Stanley, you haven't been in Hollywood for two years. I didn't expect it to be so popular when it appeared, which really made us all envious. David said with a smile.
"How. Are you and Richard still afraid that there will be no reporters interviewed? Xu Guanwu couldn't help but ask.
"That's not true, but if we go into seclusion for two years, I'm afraid we won't be as popular as you when we come out." Richard also said enviously.
Xu Guanwu couldn't help but nod when he heard their words, it is true that Hollywood is a place where people go to tea and cool down, and even before many people have left, the tea has been poured out directly. It's useless to talk about favors in Hollywood, whether it's countless blockbuster films before, if you make the company suffer losses, you will be driven away like a rag, and there is no place to reason. "By the way, how is the scene I asked you to shoot when I was here last time?" Xu Guanwu asked, "Have you already started to prepare?" ”
"Well, "Friday the 13th" has started filming, and it is expected to be released on Halloween. And "The Shining" is also in intense preparation, starring Jack. Nicholson is still working on another film, so we're still waiting for his schedule. David explained, "In addition, the current cast of "Cannonball Speed" has been preliminarily decided, and I think it should be officially filmed this summer, and it can be released during the summer vacation next year." ”
"Well, I want to add a few characters to the movie "Cannonball Speed", and you ask the screenwriter to revise the script a little." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said.
"Add a character?!" Richard was stunned, "We have already decided on the starring role, and we have already signed the contract, if we take the liberty of tearing up the contract, we will have to lose a lot of money." ”
"Well, it's not the protagonist, but it's an important role second only to the protagonist." Xu Guanwu thought for a while and said, "And these characters must be brilliant." ”
"The people you want to add, could it be these people you brought?" David speculated, "Cannonball Speed" is a star-studded comedy movie, and it doesn't matter how many people you add to it, but it depends on their performance if it doesn't shine." ”
"Well, they're going to do well." Xu Guanwu nodded and said, "Anyway, I want these three people to join the play "Cannonball Speed", you can help me arrange it." ”
"Okay." Richard nodded and said, since Xu Guanwu is an investor, he naturally speaks the loudest, and now he is just adding three characters, which basically has no impact on the storyline.
Hong Jingbao and the three of them heard Xu Guanwu seem to mention his name, but they didn't know what they were talking about, so they couldn't help but be stunned and anxious, regretting that they should have learned a little more English in the first place.
After Xu Guanwu finished chatting with Richard and the others, and then took Hong Jingbao and the other four to see Lei Shidong, Cheng Long couldn't help but ask Xu Guanwu, "Mr. Xu, what were you talking about just now?" ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I won a role for the three of you brothers in a certain movie." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.
"In a Hollywood movie?!" Hong Jingbao asked with wide eyes in disbelief.
Xu Guanwu nodded, "It's probably during the summer vacation that filming started, and your role is also important." ”
"Really?! Wow! Xie Lu, thank you, Mr. Xu! Xie Lu, thank you, Mr. Xu! Cheng Long couldn't help but bow to Xu Guanwusan.
Yuan Biao and Hong Jingbao were also very happy, and their mouths were grinning to the root of their ears.
Although Di Wei on the side was also happy for Brother Sanmao, he was also envious in his heart.
Xu Guanwu saw the expression on his face. I couldn't help but sigh. It's not that he doesn't want to promote Di Wei. It's just that although his kung fu is better, his acting skills are actually very average, which is also a common problem of Hong Kong martial arts actors. Even Li Lianjie, who is known as the emperor of kung fu, actually has a very low level of acting skills.
And European and American action actors also require acting skills, and Stallone, who has won the Oscar, will not mention it. Schwarzenegger's acting skills in "The Terminator" are also well-known, and it is hard to imagine that there is another person who can play the murderous robot killer of the T800 so perfectly. And his funny performance in "Dragon Brother and Mouse" also made him famous. Prove that he's not just going to be cool.
As for Bruce. Willis is an old actor who can act, and McKlein in "Die Hard" is definitely a classic role in Hollywood film history. Willis has also starred in many comedy movies, and his performance in them is also very good.
Of course, if Di Wei just wants to be a second- or third-tier actor in Hollywood, he can indeed mix with his good skills, but if he wants to become popular, it will be even more difficult.
"Ah Wei, don't be discouraged, polish your acting skills after you go back, and when you hone it, I will also bring you into Hollywood." Xu Guanwu patted Di Wei's shoulder and said.
Di Wei was suddenly speechless with emotion. With Xu Guanwu's current status, he can say this to him. It really touched him. Xu Guanwu is the big boss of the Hui family, the richest entertainment tycoon in Hong Kong, and what he says badly is just a person who works for others. Whether it is life or death is just a matter of other people's words, and he is powerless to resist at all.
To be honest, Di Wei was overjoyed to be able to come to the United States with Brother Sanmao this time, but he didn't expect Mr. Xu to value himself so much, and he promised to take himself into Hollywood one day, which really made Di Wei feel overjoyed, and couldn't help but tears almost burst out.
……
Then Xu Guanwu took the four of them to Lei Shidong's office.
National Entertainment is already well-known in the American film industry, but it is not well-known in Hong Kong. After all, it is just a theater business, unlike Fox, which is engaged in production and distribution, and the business is all over the world.
"Stanley, it's been a long time, I miss me." As soon as Lei Shidong saw Xu Guanwu, he couldn't help but want to rush over and hug him.
Xu Guanwu smiled and hugged him, "Let me introduce you, Mr. Lei Shidong, the second largest cinema chain in the United States, with more than 600 theaters and nearly 3,000 big screens. ”
"Wow!" Cheng Long and the others saw that Lei Shidong was just an old man in his sixties, and his appearance was not good, so they didn't take him to heart. But hearing Xu Guanwu's introduction, the four of them were suddenly in awe.
The largest cinema chain in Hong Kong is Xu Guanwu, and its brilliant cinema line plus the art and art cinema line is only a hundred screens. But Lei Shidong himself has nearly 3,000 screens, which is really unimaginable.
"This is Hong Jingbao, Sanmao, Cheng Long, Jie Ji, Yuan Biao, A Biao, Di Wei, A Wei." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "You should have already seen the films they starred in, right?" ”
"I've seen it, to be honest, I think it's very shocking, I can't imagine that Hong Kong filmmakers can make movies so hard, and dare to do such dangerous actions, it's really amazing." Lei Shidong couldn't help but smile and said.
When he saw the film, Cheng Long fell from the bell tower, he was so frightened that he almost forgot to breathe. If an American actor came to shoot this scene, it must have been edited in the middle. We must do a good job of all kinds of safety facilities below, and at the same time, we must also buy insurance for the actors, so that they dare to do such dangerous actions.
But watching the scene in "A Scheme" has been following, you can clearly see that there are no protective measures underground, and it is completely falling directly to the ground, which really makes people pinch a cold sweat.
"What do you think of this "A Plan", and does it have the potential to be a big hit?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.
"Needless to say, since it's a movie produced by your Stanley, I can guarantee that I will make a lot of money." Lei Shidong said with a smile, "To be honest, now your Stanley name has become a very good advertising signboard, and many viewers have already recognized your name when watching movies." ”
"Really? That's a real pleasure for me. When Xu Guanwu heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised and delighted.
Past life Stephen. Spielberg is one of the most well-known filmmakers in Hollywood, and any work with his name on it, even if it is just a producer of the film, will still be sought after by fans all over the world, making those films achieve very good box office.
Xu Guanwu couldn't imagine that he would have such treatment now, which really flattered him. But in fact, all this is also based on the movies he has produced, all of which are classic blockbuster movies in Hollywood history. It can really be said that it is a classic of the ministry, and it is natural to be able to earn such a big name for Xu Guanwu. (To be continued......)
