Biographical film!

This type of film is mostly literary films.

Chen Qiming doesn't think he can break into Hollywood with literary films.

If it were really that simple, Gong Li and Maggie Cheung would have successfully entered Hollywood.

In addition, Chen Qiming does not think that Americans will be interested in his biography of an Asian.

It's not that I'm not interested.

Rather, he is not at all enough to attract the attention of others now.

Therefore, Chen Qiming is not interested in this kind of movie.

"What do you think you want to make?"

Steven did not show dissatisfaction with Chen Qiming's answer, but asked very humbly.

Chen Qiming could see that he was very interested in him.

So, after a little silence, he spoke:

"I run a film production company in Hong Kong.

I think maybe we can have a lot to do together in this area. ”

Hearing Chen Qiming's words, Steven was stunned.

Halfway through, he asked, "You mean to let Warner invest in your film company?" ”

"No, it's not investing in a film company, if Warner is really interested in me, we can make a film together."

Chen Qiming shook his head and said.

"Invest in your company's films?"

Now, Steven finally understood.

"Yes! If Warner is interested, I think we can work together. ”

Chen Qiming nodded.

Lajuana's investment.

This is a good opportunity for Chen Qiming.

As long as it is launched with Warner, the movies of Qiming Film and Television will no longer be limited to Hong Kong and Taiwan in the future.

If you can, maybe you can release movies in Europe and the United States as frequently as Jackie Chan, and you may not have a few more opportunities to break into Hollywood.

According to the information in the dream, Jackie Chan has entered Hollywood.

Based on the analysis of that information and the comparison with reality, Chen Qiming came to a conclusion.

The reason why Jackie Chan was able to break into Hollywood did not rely on overnight.

In the 70s, Golden Harvest successfully promoted Bruce Lee to the world, and "Enter the Dragon" in 1973 was an international production cooperated by Golden Harvest and Warner Pictures, and was distributed worldwide.

Therefore, as Jackie Chan, who is trained as Bruce Lee's successor, Golden Harvest also has the ambition to push him internationally.

In order to create the next Bruce Lee, Golden Harvest invited several Hollywood movie stars to join in and produced "Killer Trench".

This movie is Jackie Chan's first time in Hollywood.

It's a pity that the young Jackie Chan doesn't have any international popularity, and in order to be able to shoot in the United States all the way, Golden Harvest also gave a lot of autonomy.

Therefore, during the filming of "Killer Trench", Jackie Chan and Golden Harvest were very passive, not only the directing and editing rights were controlled by American directors, but even Jackie Chan's martial arts instruction had to be in accordance with the requirements of foreigners.

In the end, the action effect that came out was at least 10 years behind Jackie Chan's "Junior Brother Out of the Horse".

The outcome of the film undoubtedly failed.

However, this is not the only movie that Jackie Chan has made his way into Hollywood this time.

In 1979, after Golden Harvest decided to re-promote Jackie Chan, the boss Zou Wenhuai announced domineeringly at the premiere in Hollywood: Golden Harvest will invest 60 million US dollars to shoot 6 big productions with international superstars, and "Killer Trench" is just the beginning.

After "Killer Trench", Jackie Chan immediately starred in another Hollywood film "Cannonball Speed", along with Golden Harvest's comedy leader Xu Guanwen.

It's just that compared with "Killer Trench", Jackie Chan and Xu Guanwen only played a racing car driver in "Cannonball Speed", just one of the many protagonists, and their role status is far inferior to "Killer Trench", which can be seen from the poster of this movie at that time.

Moreover, the highlight of "Cannonball Speed" is all kinds of racing shots, which can't show Jackie Chan's skills at all, he can only be funny with Xu Guanwen.

The final ending was naturally even worse, and it didn't make any waves in Hollywood at all.

After filming "Cannonball Speed", Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong and ended his first trip to Hollywood.

After returning to Hong Kong, Jackie Chan directed and starred in "Young Master Long", which was the runner-up at the Hong Kong box office in 1982.

"Plan A" in 1983 was the runner-up at the Hong Kong box office in 1983.

In addition, films such as "Five Lucky Stars" and "Food Truck" cooperated with Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao have achieved box office success one after another, and they were also nominated for Best Actor at the Hong Kong Film Awards and won the Best Action Direction Award, consolidating their status in the Hong Kong film industry.

Taking advantage of the power at this time, Jackie Chan embarked on a Hollywood journey for the second time and participated in "Cannonball Speed 2".

As a result, the experience was even more miserable.

"Cannonball Speed 2" not only cannot guarantee Jackie Chan's role, but also has a worse box office and reputation, and also won two nominations for the Golden Sour Plum Award, which is a mess.

Therefore, Jackie Chan's second trip to Hollywood came with excitement and returned with failure.

In 1985, with greater ambitions, Jackie Chan and Golden Harvest began their third Hollywood test and filmed a police film "Detective of the Dragon".

"Dragon Detective" not only has Jackie Chan, but also Hong Kong actors such as Li Saifeng, Qiao Hong, Ye Qianwen, etc., as well as Jackie Chan's royal screenwriter Deng Jingsheng participated in the screenwriting, and Jackie Chan also has certain editing rights.

As a result, "Dragon Detective" was directly a disaster.

The obviously biased American director almost completely abandoned Jackie Chan's action expertise and only arranged very few action scenes, but asked Jackie Chan to speak English fluently to be a dull detective.

And the director is also very strong, completely ignoring Jackie Chan's opinion, completely overturning Jackie Chan's action design, so angry that Jackie Chan directly called the boss of Golden Harvest to change the director.

In the end, the director couldn't be changed, so Jackie Chan could only reshoot some of the shots by himself after returning to Hong Kong, and Ye Qianwen's role was reshot later.

Jackie Chan's third trip to Hollywood was also a failure, but Jackie Chan was not without gains, his harvest was to shoot police-themed movies, and "Police Story" was the inspiration that Jackie Chan found after the failure of "Dragon Detective".

After that, the "Police Story" series became Jackie Chan's most successful masterpiece.

It is also one of the highest-grossing movies in Asia at present, making Jackie Chan's appeal in Asia stronger.

Jackie Chan's several trips to Hollywood not only brought Jackie Chan experience.

also made Chen Qiming have different ideas.

Obviously, it is not so easy for Asians to succeed in Hollywood, even with the support of film companies.

Therefore, Chen Qiming did not expect that he could succeed in Hollywood with a movie.

If you have a few more opportunities and the blessing of your popularity in the music world, you may be able to make your Hollywood journey easier.

"It's okay to work together, but I hope our record collaboration won't end so soon, don't you think?"

Hearing Chen Qiming's request, Steven's eyes lit up.

seems to have grasped Chen Qiming's weakness.

"Our cooperation has been very pleasant, as long as your offer is not low, I think, we should not give up cooperation with Warner!"

Hearing this, Chen Qiming couldn't help but smile.

Although there were some minor frictions with Warner Records, it was generally pleasant.

If Warner can help Qiming Film and Television in films, Chen Qiming doesn't mind working with Warner all the time.
