Jet Li's purpose in calling Chen Qiming is very simple.

He asked Chen Qiming if kung fu stars were really popular in Hollywood.

and asked Chen Qiming how he should enter Hollywood.

For these two questions, to be honest, Chen Qiming himself doesn't know what to say.

Are Chinese Kung Fu Stars Really Popular In Hollywood?

Perhaps it is true that many foreign audiences are curious to like Chinese kung fu.

However, if there is no suitable scene, it is obviously wrong to make a random Hollywood movie and be liked.

Jackie Chan has a say in this.

In 1985, he began to enter Hollywood.

Why did it take a few years to officially make a little achievement in Hollywood?

It's not the movie that pokes the audience yet.

If the plot of the movie is not good, you can play again, and you may not be able to be popular in Hollywood.

As for how to enter Hollywood, to be honest, Chen Qiming doesn't know how to answer.

He could not say, 'Go! Go and let Hollywood studios invest in a drama for you to be the leading role!

Don't be silly!

Even if Jet Li is a mess in Asia, he is the top actor.

In Hollywood, you will not be given preferential treatment.

is like Jet Li in his dream in his previous life.

Hollywood's film and television companies are very realistic.

They need actors who can bring them benefits.

If you don't have much box office appeal, Hollywood companies won't even look at you.

And the Asian Chinese market.

To be honest, it can earn up to $10 million at the box office.

This is still the kind that particularly explodes at the box office.

If the box office is not particularly explosive, maybe four or five million is the highest.

With such a little box office, Hollywood companies will invest millions of dollars in actors like Jet Li, and the probability of losing is very large.

So, a sensible Hollywood studio wouldn't do that.

Of course, in recent years, several movies starring Chen Qiming, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau, Liming and others have achieved very good results in Hollywood.

This also makes Hollywood companies pay a lot of attention to Chinese actors.

An actor like Jet Li, who is very well-known among the Chinese, is still willing to give him a chance.

Therefore, after Jet Li asked Chen Qiming how to go to Hollywood, Chen Qiming took the lead and introduced him to Fox, Warner, and Paramount.

After introducing the two sides to each other, Chen Qiming didn't care about this matter.

Again, he's not anyone's big daddy.

As the most popular person in Hollywood as a Chinese.

He can help the Chinese actors in the back.

But he couldn't be a nanny.

Chen Qiming has already introduced Warner, Fox and Paramount to Jet Li.

These companies are all Hollywood giants and film and television companies.

The energy is extraordinary, as long as Jet Li has the ability to impress these companies, then these companies will naturally invest in movies for him to star.

But if Jet Li doesn't satisfy them, then Chen Qiming can't be blamed.

for he has done what is right.

To be honest, you have to admit that Jet Li's behavior is still something.

Let's just talk about getting along with Yongsheng.

Most of the actors who get along with Yongsheng, after breaking up, although they still respect Xiang's family.

But there is absolutely no one like Jet Li, who has a good relationship with Xiang's family directly enough to be a master for Boss Xiang's son and visit him every year.

It can only be said that this guy is sociable.

Jet Li, who knows how to communicate with people, called Chen Qiming to express his gratitude when he got Chen Qiming's reply and knew that Chen Qiming took the lead in introducing people from several major film and television companies to him, but he hadn't negotiated yet, and he didn't know if he could succeed.

In addition, he also sent a lot of mainland tea and local products to Chen Qiming's home.

In a word, Jet Li has made enough face.

made Chen Qiming feel that if he had a bad relationship with Warner and other companies, he could consider letting Jet Li star in his company's future dramas to help him.

watched Jet Li's performance, and then looked at the operation of the God of Gamblers.

Chen Qiming can only say that it has been red for too long and has floated.

In mid-May, Chen Qiming ended filming in the United States and a very comfortable filming life, and flew back to Asia with the crew.

The first is Hong Kong.

The crew has a few sets of scenes in Hong Kong, then BJ, and then several other protagonists in the mainland who need to go.

Chen Qiming hasn't filmed in Hong Kong for a few years?

A year? Two years? Or three years?

Chen Qiming forgot about it, anyway, it seems that he has not been shooting on the streets of Hong Kong for a long time.

may be because he hasn't seen Chen Qiming on the streets of Hong Kong for too long, and when the crew was filming in Kowloon, he was directly besieged by his fans.

"Ming Tsai, I love you!"

"Ahhh......h

"Woo woo X_X Ming Tsai ......"

"Ming Tsai, I will definitely keep our children!"

A large number of fans blocked the street, almost drying up the traffic, and the staff were like a big enemy, waiting for them one by one, for fear that one would accidentally put these fans in and cause a big disaster.

Fortunately, there are enough people to keep the fans firmly out.

It's just that......

Chen Qiming, who was putting on makeup inside, couldn't help but turn black after hearing the shouts of a loud fan outside.

"Don't look at me like that, the fans are shouting and playing!"

Seeing Wu Yusen looking at him strangely, Chen Qiming couldn't help but say.

Now the fans are really getting more and more skinny.

They will also raise their children.

It's so powerful, it makes me feel like I've had a leg with her.

Just when Wu Yusen was still looking at Chen Qiming strangely, a staff member ran over, "Ah Ming, Director Wu, someone is visiting the class!" ”

"Who?" Chen Qiming looked at Wu Yusen, there seemed to be no friends on his side who said that they wanted to visit the class.

"Don't look at me, I don't know!" Wu Yusen shook his head.

"Check it out!" Chen Qiming stood up, and Wu Yusen followed.

"Director, are you going to shoot?" Seeing that John Woo and Chen Qiming both got up, and Nicolas Cage next to him also stood up, he thought he was going to start filming.

"Someone is coming to visit the class, let's go and see!" Chen Qiming said.

"Oh? Is it your friend? Then I'm with you! Cage put down his clothes and ran out.

"Wow! You're here as a group! ”

When he came to the entrance of the crew and saw the person coming, Chen Qiming couldn't help but make a joke.

It was not one person, but several.

Leslie Cheung, Maggie Cheung, Andy Lau, and Tony Leung.

"I heard that your project is a big production, and the investment alone is hundreds of millions, let's learn and visit!"

Leslie Cheung said with a smile.

"Then you're here right, there is a big scene today, which is absolutely rare to see here in Hong Kong."

John Woo also knows these people, Leslie Cheung has also worked with him, and others have dealt with various occasions.

"Come, introduce you to Nicolas Cage, our other star actor."

After Chen Qiming greeted a few people, he introduced Cage to a few people.

"Hello, Mr. Cage!"

"Hello!"

Of course, a few people know Nicolas Cage, the Oscar winner!

In addition, many people present should have gone to the cinema to watch the movie starring him.

Being an actor is not a profession that stands out to itself.

A good actor is always improving.

If there is a good movie on the market, most actors will choose to go to the theater to watch it.

Even, if they find a particularly good performance, some actors will buy discs and take them home to continue to watch them carefully, so as to enrich themselves by learning from other people's performances.

And there is no shortage of such films in Nicolas Cage's previous films.

A few people didn't stay at the door of the crew for long, and after introducing Nicolas Cage to a few people, everyone walked to the crew together.

"Don't you introduce reporters for interviews? It's been a long time since you've been in the audience's sight. ”

While walking, Leslie Cheung pointed to the reporter who was shooting this way outside.

"You're wrong, I only made headlines two days ago!"

Chen Qiming said with a smile.

Two days ago, when he came back with the crew, he happened to be blocked by reporters at the airport.

It can only be said that the ranking of superstars is different.

As soon as he came back, he robbed Zheng Zeshi, who had just won the 16th Academy Awards, from the limelight.

RTHK's newspapers are almost all about him.

Oh! And Nicolas Cage.

After all, Cage is an Oscar winner, and the row is still quite large.

When many newspapers reported on Chen Qiming, they placed his photo next to Chen Qiming and juxtaposed it with him.

"How long do you guys need to shoot here? Can you attend the launch ceremony of "Black Gold"? ”

Andy Lau was in front and suddenly turned around and asked.

"Don't worry, I won't miss it!" Chen Qiming gave him a reassuring look.

"I don't understand, your image, running to play the villain, aren't you afraid that the fans will disagree?"

Tony Leung, who hasn't spoken much, spoke.

As soon as they heard his words, everyone turned their curious eyes to Chen Qiming.

The reason why everyone is so curious is because Chen Qiming's agency team announced half a month ago that Chen Qiming will star in the movie "Black Gold" produced by Qiming Film and Television.

What makes everyone even more concerned is that this time, Chen Qiming will not play a decent role, but an unprecedented challenge to the role of the villain.

Who is Chen Qiming, Asia's top superstar, a world-class star.

An idol for countless people.

It can be said that in all of Asia, if you talk about who has the greatest idol burden, it is undoubtedly Chen Qiming.

But it's such a big star, a big idol.

He actually wants to challenge the villain.

This is definitely big news for the media.

Not only the media, but also the actors who are traveling with them are very curious.

You must know that in these years, the idol burden of actors is actually very heavy.

For example, Tony Leung, such as Andy Lau, such as any of the Four Heavenly Kings, except for Jacky Cheung.

None of the others have played villains.

And now, Chen Qiming actually wants to play the villain, how is this not curious.

"If I were asked to play a villain in Hollywood, especially if it would damage the image of the Chinese community, I would definitely not play it.

But this is China, and everyone is Chinese.

If someone wants to play a villain, why can't it be me? ”

Chen Qiming replied with a smile.

"My advice is that you'd better not play it, especially the charismatic role of the villain!"

At this time, Maggie Cheung, who was walking in front and talking to John Woo, suddenly turned around and said.

"How?" Chen Qiming was a little curious.

"If you want to play this role, it means that the role must be a good role, very attractive.

However, you have to think that you are not an ordinary actor, you are a superstar with a large number of fans.

You all know the charm of the characters, can't the audience see it?

What if because of your appearance, fans imitate or even target the character? ”

Maggie Cheung explained.

"Probably not yet...... Let's do it! Chen Qiming frowned.

He had thought about it before.

But in the drama Heijin, the character played by Leung Jiahui was really a very charming character, and he liked it very much, so he subconsciously ignored what Maggie Cheung said.

"Anyway, my advice is that you don't act, even if you act, you have to whitewash the role in the end, otherwise it will easily cause adverse effects." Maggie Cheung said again.

"I'll think about it!" Chen Qiming groaned.

"Big guy, you can decide quickly, if you don't act, it's best to confirm it quickly.

You know, I'm an international star now, I'm very busy, I don't have time to wait for you! ”

Andy Lau raised his head and said proudly.

"Let's make a face! If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know which crew you're running around in now!

Like now, not only has the salary risen sharply, but also been favored by Hollywood. Chen Qiming said speechlessly.

……

After taking a few visitors around this temporary filming site and arranging a few people to observe on the side, John Woo waved his hand and the shooting started directly.

Today's scene is about Kester, after obtaining Chen Li's identity, came to Hong Kong to learn about and investigate Chen Li's past, so as to avoid being exposed in the future.

After he came here, he was tracked down by Chen Li, who wanted to change his identity.

The two staged a street chase in the street.

Compared to the face change in the dream.

This "Swapping Identities" has a lot more investment.

The addition of Chen Qiming allowed Paramount to increase its investment budget to 100 million US dollars.

100 million dollars, which is considered a big production in Hollywood.

Because he is not short of money, John Woo naturally does not have to be tied up when shooting.

In the street battle in Hong Kong, he directly brought in more than a dozen abandoned cars for Chen Qiming and Nicolas Cage to doom.

Rumble......

Bang bang bang......

Prop guns and explosions erupted.

The street chase between the two directly turned into a small battle.

made Leslie Cheung and Tony Leung, who came to visit the class, couldn't help but look at each other.

"It's no wonder that with so much investment, just this scene, there is not so much money and it can't be filmed at all."

After being silent for a while, Leslie Cheung couldn't help but say, "In recent years, Hollywood movies have accounted for more and more of the Asian market, which is not unreasonable.

With so much money thrown down, it's no wonder the audience likes it, it's really money every second! ”

"Chen Qiming understands the trend very well, and when Hollywood blockbusters were just popular, he began to strive for big productions.

I heard that he set up a special effects company in the United States, specializing in special effects, and "Lone Agent" and "Fengyun 2" were made by this company. ”

"It's also a loss to him, if there is no resistance from their company's films, Hong Kong films don't know where to sink.

In the past two years, the box office of Hong Kong films has been getting lower and lower, and it has gradually been unable to support a large number of staff.

A lot of capital is also retreating now.

I think in a year or two, maybe the industry will shrink by at least half! ”
