Chapter 391, I'm going to Hollywood!
Early the next morning, Lu Bu left the team after completing the formalities and joined Yu Feihong and others.
Strangely, Kim Hee-sun, Song Hye Kyo, and Song Yoona are also there.
Problematic!
"You won't blame me for inviting your 'good' friends over on my own initiative, will you?" That's what Yu Feihong told Lu Bu.
"Why, I won't blame you for what you do." Lu Bu is cautious about the "love" of his eldest wife.
Yu Feihong just clicked to the end and didn't ask to the end.
Lu Bu also understood that he needed to restrain himself.
And today, the group traveled to several famous attractions in Doha under the guidance of a guide.
The first is the Pearl Island, a 400-hectare artificial island that cost $9 billion to reclaim land, and the most common on the island are villas, high-end residences and brand stores, and even the fine sand on the beach is imported from Saudi Arabia, so the Pearl Island is currently one of the most expensive prime locations in Qatar.
This is followed by the National Museum, which is modeled after the natural phenomenon of the "desert rose" and consists of a series of interlocking discs of varying curvature and size, which form the walls, floors, ceilings and balconies of the building.
Finally, the Doha Corniche, one of the most beautiful esplanades in the Middle East, passes through the high-rise Doha CBD area.
When I went back to the hotel, everyone had a lot of big bags in their hands.
In the evening, a celebration banquet was held.
Lu Bu won two gold medals in the Asian Games, and his fame abroad is worth celebrating.
And that's just one of the good things.
In addition, "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 3" ended perfectly, and the finale hit the highest rating of 14.8% since the start of the broadcast.
Not only is it a big hit in China, but it also has a good performance in South Korea, with a peak rating of 15.29% and an audience share of nearly 28.37% of the entire market, ranking first in the ratings of TV dramas in the same period.
Hu Jiao, Tong Yaya became popular, Liu Shishi, Tang Tang, Yuan Hong, Huo Jianhua and others became popular.
In addition, Zhang Liangying's album "Love" sold more than 1 million.
With this album alone, he has become a first-line singer in the Chinese music scene, which is a height that is difficult for a new singer to achieve.
The popularity once surpassed Li Yuchun and Zhou Bising, and it successfully appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in the United States.
Also, "The Good Man of the Three Gorges" blooms inside the wall and is fragrant outside the wall.
Although it has the halo of the Golden Lion Award for Best Film at the Venice International Film Festival, it only received 304,000 box office in China, but 40 million were sold in overseas regions through copyright authorization and direct distribution.
The cost was 6 million, and the studio invested 3 million and got a very high return.
Finally, "A Chinese Ghost Story 4 Days" locked the domestic annual box office champion.
"The City Full of Golden Armor" had a box office of 15 million at its premiere, and reached 96 million at the box office in its first weekend, with a total of 291 million box office in the mainland.
It is regarded as a "bad movie" at home, but it is regarded as a "masterpiece" abroad, and the global box office is 78.57 million US dollars, surpassing "Huo Yuanjia" to become the highest-grossing Chinese film in 2006.
It can be said that Lu Bu is the biggest winner in the entertainment industry this year.
Isn't "The Sun Also Rising" losing money?
What's that, drizzle.

Yanjing, the building of the Mengjiang Studio.
"You're nice here." Cheng Cage is very fond of the Chinese decoration style of Lu Bu's office.
"Unique Chinese charm, solemn and elegant, magnificent and kitsch." Li Lianjie praised it.
"You are both internal and external, both civil and military, with both a heroic and domineering side, and a gentle and elegant side." Yuan Heping directly praised the sky.
"It's very relaxing in this environment." Wang Jun followed suit.
In addition to the four of them, there are Rob Minkoff and Chen Weifu.
Appreciating the office decoration is fake, and looking for him to make a movie is real.
As far as the lineup of these few people is concerned, it is invincible domestically and competitive internationally.
Cheng Cage, Li Lianjie, and Yuan Heping are well-known in the Chinese film industry and the world.
Rob Minkoff is a well-known American director, screenwriter, producer, obsessed with Chinese kung fu films since childhood, very fond of Hu Chuquan, Li Xiaolong and "Drunken Fist", "Once Upon a Time", "Enter the Dragon" and other films, in his junior year he entered Disney Animation to work, in 94 years co-directed his first feature film animated film "The Lion King", 99 and 02 years directed CG movies "Elf Mouse Brother 1, 2", the global box office exceeded 1 billion US dollars.
Chen Guifu is a director, screenwriter and producer in Baodao Province, and his representative work is the thriller film "Double Pupils" written by him in 02, directed and produced, which adopts the style of a detective film to create a suspenseful, terrifying, and mysterious atmosphere, and is known as the pinnacle of Chinese thriller and suspense films and a benchmark that is not easy to surpass.
And this group of bigwigs is going to make an action blockbuster co-produced by China and the United States - "The King of Kung Fu".
Lu Bu is their first choice for the leading actor.
Of course, there are recommendations from Yuan Heping and Cheng Cage.
The total investment of this film has come to 55 million US dollars, equivalent to about 430 million RMB, which is 70 million RMB higher than the 360 million RMB of the most expensive Chinese film "Full of Golden Armor" so far.
But it seems to be a lot, but the salary of Cheng Cage and Li Lianjie alone divided 20 million US dollars, which is still a friendship price.
Cheng Cage's "Rush Hour 3" filmed this year has a single salary of $15 million, plus 15% of the gross box office revenue in North America, almost $21 million, and the domestic market copyright income, totaling almost $40 million.
As for Li Lianjie, the salary when filming "Dragon's Kiss" in 00 was $10 million plus global dividends, and later with the big sales of "Hero", "Deadly Cradle" and "Savior", the salary also rose to $15 million plus dividends, which is more than $30 million.
If you go according to the market price, the $55 million of "The King of Kung Fu" is just enough to pay the two of them.
They opened 30 million for Lu Bu, and the currency unit was RMB.
This is the market price, because "A Chinese Ghost Story 4 Heavenly Way" was a big hit at the box office, and won two gold medals in the Asian Games, and the value skyrocketed by 10 million.
"The female number one and female number two have all worked with you, you don't have to worry about your acting skills." Wang Jun introduced.
His attitude towards Lu Bu was one of love and hate.
Love is to appreciate his image, acting skills, and earning ability.
hate, first Wang Jinghua didn't sign it twice, then several cooperation failed to cooperate, and finally movies and TV series were abused and abused.
However, in the eyes of businessmen, the interests are great, and as long as they can make money, grievances can be put aside temporarily.
Besides, the two brothers and Lu Bu have no contradiction at all, they are just winners and losers in normal competition.
And this time, I fancy Lu Bu's rising popularity and gradually radiating global popularity.
"Who?" Lu Bu asked curiously.
"Liu Yifei and Li Baiyu." Wang Jun replied.
It's not just that we've worked together, we're all good friends.
Liu Yifei's resources are good enough, and this Sino-US co-produced blockbuster can get the female number one.
Li Liyu is bringing capital into the group at a glance, and the friendship brothers are not only one of the investors, but also one of the producers, who is not to praise his first sister?
"Thank you for your kind invitation, and thank you for looking up to me, it's just ......" After Lu Bu thanked him neither humbly nor arrogantly, he changed his words and said: "Can you allow me to think about it for three days, after all, it is a big deal to break into Hollywood." ”
"No problem, we're waiting for good news." Wang Jun said with a smile.
Subsequently, Lu Bu made the east and invited dinner.
It was late to get back to the big quadrangle.
"Drunk?" Yu Feihong smelled a smell of wine.
"I didn't drink it, I accidentally spilled my whole body with wine." Like this kind of entertainment bureau, Lu Bu doesn't drink.
"Change your clothes and pants, I'll wash them." Zeng Yi came over and took his coat.
"I'm going to boil water and make tea." Hu Jing got up and went out with a thermos.
After returning from Doha, the three of them first followed the large army to the small courtyard for dinner, and then came here.
Needless to say, why.
Lu Bu also got what he wanted.
"Can we watch it?" Yu Feihong saw him take out a script from his bag.
"Of course you can, but don't tell me about it." Lu Bu, who should be reminded, still has to be reminded.
"Are we such immodest people?" Zeng Yu gave him a blank look.
"We're here to help you check the quality of the script." Hu Jing grinned.
That's it......
The four of them huddled together and finished reading the script of "The King of Kung Fu".
Lu Bu glanced at them and said, "Let's talk about the aftermath." ”
"I'll start with that." Hu Jing was afraid that after Yu Feihong and Zeng Wei finished talking, she had nothing to say, and said: "Obviously, this movie tells a Far Eastern version of the story of "The Lord of the Rings". The weak and pale protagonist lives in unrealistic dreams at first, in order to escape from reality, but reality eventually comes to the door, bringing infinite danger and faint hope at the same time, and the protagonist has to complete a task with a probability of success that is infinitely close to zero, and the most absurd thing about this matter is that any helper around the protagonist is beyond his reach in terms of ability and strength, but they are unwilling to become the executors of this task, and they have not even touched this idea at all. ”
Zeng Yi followed: "I have the same opinion as Jingjing, this movie can be seen as Frodo (the protagonist of "The Lord of the Rings") returning to the halfway world after a few years of lonely life, but this time not for a magic ring, but for a magic wand. ”
The name of the film is "The King of Kung Fu", but the background setting of this film has little to do with kung fu.
Compared with the traditional Xiangjiang kung fu movie, it looks like a god and demon martial arts movie.
In other words, it is closer to the kind of gods and demons martial arts written by the lord of Huanzhu Building, rather than the martial arts written by Jin Gu Huang Liang Wen.
The story borrows the background of the four famous novels "Journey to the West", and believes that there is an immortal body called "immortal", which is very close to the gods, but has not completely got rid of the human character, so it is more like the Greek gods on Mount Olympia.
Yu Feihong said with a little cold water: "I'm not very optimistic, the target group of this movie should be those foreigners who are interested in kung fu and kung fu stars, Journey to the West and Monkey King, Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism, these Chinese elements and know little, for them who have no cultural background and common sense, they don't need a deep theme, just a flashy display, and the whole story can be attractive." ”
Lu Bu combined their feelings after watching and came to a conclusion, that is, like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero", and "Night Banquet", it is a Chinese film for foreigners, and it is likely to hit the streets in China.
In fact, after reading the script, he also felt average.
Is this movie about kung fu? No, although there are Cheng Cage, Li Lianjie, Wu Whale, and Zou Zhaolong joining, all kung fu movie stars, but kung fu is not the highlight in it.
So, is it about love? No, the little ambiguity between the protagonist and the female number one ended before it began, and you can't just use "sympathy" to judge the drunken fairy and the silent monk to make a base, and then there is no improper relationship between the white-haired witch and the god of Yujiang.
So, is it a war movie? It's not like, although heroism is a favorite theme of the United States, but in war movies, there must be a leader who is powerful in strategy and tactics, but one is a drunkard who doesn't drink or enjoy, the other is a monkey hair who fights wherever he wants, and then there is a Chinese American protagonist who is ignorant and always shouts to go home, and a little girl who always uses things at hand as flying knives, which one can become a "leader"?
Hu Jing asked, "Do you want to act?" ”
Lu Buyu hesitated and said: "The schedule is right, it will start in June and July next year, just after the filming of "The Legend of Chu and Han" is completed, it is ......."
Zeng Yi picked up his words and said, "It may not be able to get a good reputation in China." ”
Yu Feihong said: "I think you can act, it doesn't matter if the domestic reputation is poor, and even the poor foreign reputation can be accepted, because this is a very good opportunity to try in Hollywood, think about it, there are eight masters, big brothers, and Brother Jie, is this kind of lineup unavoidable?" ”
Hu Jing agreed: "Even if you fail, it doesn't matter, big brother doesn't succeed as soon as he goes to Hollywood." ”
Zeng Yu echoed: "It's considered to be accumulating experience." ”
After listening to their words, Lu Bu smiled and said, "What you said is exactly the same as the eighth master." ”
On the way to the hotel, Yuan Heping talked to him a lot.
If he wants to embark on an international path, it is certain that he will go to Hollywood.
Well, this is a good opportunity.
Yu Feihong asked, "What do you mean?" ”
Hu Jing complained: "Yes, we are talking so much that our saliva is dry, what about you, just ask, don't talk." ”
Zeng asked triedly: "Have you already made a decision?" ”
The corners of Lu Bu's mouth raised, and he said seriously: "Lady, it's late at night, it's time to rest." ”
Yu Feihong: "......"
Hu Jing: "......"
Zeng Wei: "......"
The three of them have different looks.

The next day, Hengdian, the crew of "The Legend of Chu and Han".
Lu Bu's return was greeted by flowers and applause.
The whole group watched the live broadcast of the final.
I didn't expect an archery competition to be so ups and downs, very exciting, and enthusiastic.
Moreover, many people have witnessed Lu Bu's archery skills for the first time, and "awesome" is not enough to describe.
Qin Lan's eyes were no longer right.
Tall and handsome, he can act and sing, and now he can win a gold medal.
The charm is simply irresistible.
Gao Yuanyuan was proud and happy, and said mischievously: "Congratulations on the triumph of the overlord!" (End of chapter)
