After Custer said goodbye, Yu Sheng began to think about his follow-up plans, and Kodak's offer reminded Yu Sheng that while both of his films received well in the United States, they were nothing more than documentaries. If you want to make two good movies, you have to have your own team. You can't always go it alone. You can't always rely on Warners.

At this time, there were only eight people who arrived in the United States with Yu Sheng, who had originally received the Dadi Company in Hong Kong. The rest stayed in Hong Kong either because they couldn't leave their homeland, because they had a small family or other plans. After the Japanese occupied Hong Kong, they were unceremonious to the Chinese in Hong Kong, and those who remained in Hong Kong did not know the blessings and misfortunes, and there was no news at all.

If you want to form your own team for the rest of your life, you also need to recruit a few filmmakers who have a deep understanding of the art form of film. If it's famous, it's good. But in this era, where to find Chinese filmmakers who are somewhat famous in the United States?

After thinking about it, Yu Sheng suddenly thought of two names, one is Huang Zongzhan and the other is Huang Liushuang!

Huang Zongzhan was born in Guangdong. He came to the United States with his father. His father was a Chinese laborer who built railroads in the United States. In addition to expelling a large number of Indians, the Americans also used a large number of laborers to build railroads, and because Lincoln raised the slave status of blacks, the price of black laborers rose sharply. In contrast, Chinese laborers, who were hard-working and did not have a strong spirit of resistance, became the first choice of Americans.

Some of these Chinese laborers, who were regarded as coolies by the Americans, voluntarily crossed the ocean to the United States in order to earn a bite to eat. Some were deceived by rhetoric, signed a deed of sale, and were deceived into going to the United States. These deceived Chinese laborers are called pigs. Except for being treated as a labor force, it has almost no status. And, the income is meager.

Therefore, the fate of the Chinese laborers who built the railroad in the United States was tragic, because countless people died of overwork. The railroad in the United States is full of the bones of Chinese workers.

However, the Chinese are the most suitable people to survive in a peaceful environment of the system. Although the United States has a Chinese Exclusion Act, it does not have the century-old turmoil and wars in modern China. Among these Chinese workers who built railways, there were always some who were able to move their hearts and endure, accumulate resources in their own patience, and get rid of embarrassment.

After saving for a long time, Huang's father opened a grocery store to make ends meet. The standard of living is acceptable. At the age of twelve, Huang Zongzhan got his first camera, KodakBrownie Camera. Photography became a hobby.

At the age of sixteen, he became an assistant to a commercial photographer, and then a cleaner for the editing room and film library of a Hollywood studio. Then, Huang Zongzhan became the "fourth camera assistant" as Xixi · The crew of B. Dimir's film is responsible for taking the clapper to the front of the camera to announce the curtain before each shot starts.

The fate of man is always strange. Huang Zongzhan is considered short in the eyes of Westerners, but he likes to smoke huge cigars. This big and small middle constitute a wonderful sense of joy. Provoke Xixi · B. Dimir couldn't help but laugh. Since then, recruitment has become its regular team.

In 1926, Paramount's "Man Trap" brought his photographic skills into full play. Fight to fame. In 1928, MGM's "Joys and Sorrows" perfected his photographic skills.

In 1938, Huang Zongzhan was nominated for Best Cinematography at the Academy Awards for "Algiers" starring actress Hedy Lamarr. Since then, he has become famous in Hollywood, and his name is "James WongHowe". Before the rest of his film became famous in the United States, he was the most well-known Chinese in the Hollywood film industry.

However, after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, there was not only an exclusion of Japanese people in the United States, but also an exclusion of all Asians. Huang Zongzhan is often mistaken for Japanese. In a fit of rage, he hung a special stamp on his clothes: "I am Chinese". Even, his friend James Cagney hung up the same special chapter in support of Huang Zongzhan.

That didn't work, though. Huang Zongzhan has obviously fewer films than the original. Many times, even if you are famous, you don't have a job. Moreover, the operation of the hotel and various industries under his name is also getting worse.

For the rest of his life, he had heard Albert mention Huang Zongzhan, and combined with the information he had seen in later generations, he naturally knew that this was the best time to recruit Huang Zongzhan. After all, as a Chinese, the only place where Huang Zongjun is not discriminated against is probably only himself.

In terms of the level of photography, Huang Zongzhan is already a master. If history had been left unchecked, he would have been nominated for ten Academy Awards and won two Academy Awards for Photography. He was then voted by the members of the International Association of Photographers as one of the top 10 most influential cinematographers in the history of cinema.

At that time, Huang Zongzhan was too valuable, and he was afraid that he would not be able to recruit him for the rest of his life. After all, the icing on the cake is not as humane as sending charcoal in the snow.

So, after thinking about it, Yu Sheng called Albert. Now that the second batch of herring fish restaurants has just opened, he and Qing Xiaoyi are sitting in the flagship store on Fifth Avenue in New York, and they can't leave for the time being. Moreover, Albert has a very high status in Hollywood, and if he invites him, he will invisibly add some face to Huang Zongzhan.

When Albert heard that Yu Sheng was going to contact Huang Zongzhan, he was a little surprised: "Dear Yu, do you want to make a movie again?" ”

"Of course! After working as a restaurant owner for a while, I found that being a director was more suitable for me! ”

Albert laughed: "Actually, I found that you are also very professional as a restaurant owner. My investment advisor told me that your fast food restaurant management model is very reasonable and unique! ”

Yu Sheng smiled: "So, dear Albert, do you know Huang Zongzhan's recent situation?" ”

"Of course! His talent is there for all to see. However, because of the Japanese and Asian affairs recently, his situation is not too good. After you label all Chinese people as knowing how to cook Chinese food, many people ask him if he can cook Chinese food! Even his wife, Sanora Babb. Moreover, because of the rise of herring fish restaurant, his restaurant has a lot less customer flow. Oh, dear Yu, I think he must be very impressed with you......"

"......" is full of black lines for the rest of his life. He could only say to Albert, who was gloating: "Dear Albert, no matter what his impression of me is, please help me make an appointment with him." Also, if possible, I'd like you to make an appointment with Huang Liushuang, who is also Chinese......"
