When Li Shengyao watched the rating of the beautiful national movie website, there was a long queue in front of a theater in Los Angeles, and the security guards carefully checked the tickets one by one.

There were two tall women in the group, one of whom had blonde hair and was wearing a cropped down jacket and a pair of light blue gold jeans.

Even in winter, she still looks fashionable, with a convex figure.

At this time, she clasped her hands to her chest, chewed gum, and didn't care about the gazes of the men nearby, and even faintly proud.

"Honey, there are too many people, we might as well go to sleep."

Another tall woman is of acceptable shape, but her appearance is much worse, her name is Susan, and she is Blay Cleverly's agent.

Lively shook his head, "Let's go to bed after watching this movie, I don't have a job tomorrow anyway." ”

Although there are a lot of actors in Hollywood, not only beautiful countries, but also actors from other countries.

Overall, though, the circle isn't big.

Amanda. Seyfried joined the crew of "Hurricane Rescue" and then spent almost four months filming, and the news has long been spread in Hollywood.

Although this movie only invested 20 million US dollars, it is not a big investment in a beautiful country. But considering Amanda's popularity, everyone thinks that this is a lucky girl.

Lively auditioned for the crew of "Hurricane Rescue," just one of her hundreds of auditions in a year.

But she was still impressed.

Probably because the director is Oriental.

For Amanda's luck, Lively has never expressed it, but she is actually very envious, this movie is released today, and she must see it in 1,500 museums.

Soon after, the two entered the theater, and Lively bought a big Coke.

Susan glanced at Coke and stopped talking, but she finally mustered up her courage and whispered: "It's easy to gain weight by drinking too much Coke, Lively Ly, you should control this situation."

Lively pouted, "There's no new play, what's the problem if you don't control your weight or not?" ”

Even if she is a Hollywood child star, her parents are all related practitioners, and she still has no stable resources.

Hollywood is too volatile, and the competitors of the young actors come from all over the world, and it is difficult for them to get the opportunity to act.

She then turned her head away from the agent.

The movie was released soon after.

At the beginning, the male protagonist played by Cheng Long was a Luther, as a retired master from the special department, he had no time, no money, and his ex-wife remarried with his daughter.

He didn't even know what he was supposed to do.

At this time, several old friends approached him and wanted him to work as a bodyguard for a female singer.

The job paid well, and the actor agreed.

At the beginning of the movie, Cheng Long's dress was more vicissitudes, like an ordinary uncle.

In fact, whether it is "Rush Hour" or "Tuxedo", Cheng Long is the image of a young man.

Lively opened her eyes wide as she first realized that the hilarious and superbly skilled "Jackie" in the movie was in her fifties.

"Oh, Jackie is so old."

Susan nodded, "I've seen his discs when I was a child, and the Oriental looks younger, but he's actually fifty-two years old. ”

Unable to understand why Cheng Long was so old in this movie, Lively took a sip of Coke and continued watching.

The movie continues, the male protagonist arranges to protect the female singer, in the dressing room of the performance, when the makeup artist, the agent, and the performance organizer nod to the female singer and pat the fart, the male protagonist stands at the door, looking coldly, with some doubts in his eyes.

My daughter wants to sing and be a singer, but he doesn't think it's a good job.

But for the sake of his daughter, he still wanted to ask.

When everyone else leaves, the actor asks an ordinary amateur what he should do to become a singer.

When the female singer heard this, she was very surprised, she felt that this bodyguard didn't know the height of the sky, and asked her these questions for no reason.

Who is he, and does she need an answer?

The female singer sneered a few words and then left.

The actor was a little disappointed in his heart, but he didn't say much, he was a strong person in his heart, and he didn't feel that there was something wrong with his behavior just now.

As a veteran Cheng Long movie fan, Lively quickly discovered that this character was different from Cheng Long's previous films.

In Cheng Long's previous movies, the characters were generally small people, with a dog-like mentality and a very low posture.

Even in "Rush Hour", he plays a veteran police officer, but his personality is still very gentle and he belongs to an honest person.

And the gesture and eyes of the male protagonist in "Hurricane Rescue" just now show that the male protagonist does not attach great importance to female singers, he is calm, confident, and equal.

The plot continues, and soon the daughter arrives in the summer, goes to Paris with her little sister, and then is kidnapped.

The actor said a domineering word through his daughter's mobile phone.

"Listen, now that you let my daughter go, nothing has happened to me, what you do, I'll do mine."

"If you don't listen to me, I've learned some skills, I'll find you, and you'll pay the price."

Luther-like male protagonist who directly threatens criminals far away in Paris.

In this plot, the hero's self-confidence, arrogance, and ruthlessness are more obvious.

It is completely different from Cheng Long's previous role.

Lively couldn't help but throw a punch, "Jackie plays a completely different person than before, and it's a new challenge. ”

The plot continues, the male protagonist quickly rushes to Paris, and then quickly finds the gang members who kidnapped his daughter, and then suddenly erupts, three strikes and five divided by two, cleanly, bloody and cruel to solve them.

The action style of this section is completely different from Cheng Long's previous films.

Nothing funny, no fancy superfluous moves.

All are direct, swift, lethal means, and it seems that Cheng Long is cool and handsome.

Many people in the theater cheered quietly, and Lively said to Sussan, "It's really a completely different Jackie. His action just now is so handsome, oh, the style is a bit like "Spy", but Jackie is even more handsome."

Susan glanced at Baffly and opened his mouth, but he didn't speak.

"What do you want to say?"

"Honey, I think Jackie is more attractive and full of masculine charm in this movie, which is a style he has never presented before."

Cheng Long's previous Hollywood movies, a little better like "Rush Hour", the actor can play, but his character is more honest, and he always suffers in the movie.

The next one is like "Around the World in Eighty Days", which is completely a clown character.

In general, the masculinity of the characters is relatively low.

It is far less charming, characterful, and distinctive than Cheng Long's "Chen Jiaju" when he was young.

Many viewers in the beautiful country have not seen "Chen Jiaju" and think that Cheng Long can only play a funny man.

Such an illusion is actually very unsuitable for Cheng Long to harvest fans.

And now the male protagonist of "Hurricane Rescue" is cold and capable of fighting, and is obviously more masculine.

Lively paused for a moment, then came back to his senses.

Cheng Long is completely different in this movie, he looks older and not funny, but his charm value has indeed improved a lot, and she has always felt that Cheng Long is very handsome just now.

……

While Lively was watching a movie, Amanda was also watching a movie with her agent at another movie theater in Los Angeles.

She just finished a day of publicity and will go tomorrow.

This is her first film with an investment of more than 10 million, and she attaches great importance to it.

Although she has watched the finished film a long time ago, she still wants to watch it a few more times, first, to deepen her impression and avoid being asked by fans, or when interviewed by reporters, she is not clear about some plots.

The second is to enjoy the applause of the audience.

The movie has an excellent reputation in the 1,500 museums of the beautiful Guokai Painting, and it should be expanded in the future, and there will be more theaters.

Maybe there will be a chance for the tens of millions of box office.

Amanda felt very happy, watching her work more and more people like it, it was like a flying feeling.

Her agent's name is Lawrence, a middle-aged uncle who has no name and is already a little out of step with the times.

However, Amanda's first movie was picked up by Lawrence, and she planned to give Lawrence a chance.

She is now taking Lawrence to watch the movie because she wants Lawrence to see the ingredients of the movie.

Lee Shengyao said that if the effect is good, a sequel will be made later.

Amanda needs Lawrence to understand the importance of this film, not only to take on the sequel to the film, but also to ensure her interests, not to delay her money, and career development.

The film soon began to show, and Amanda's eyes were then locked on the big screen.

Not long after the plot began, the male protagonist asked the female singer inappropriately, and he got the female singer's eyes.

Amanda likes this setting very much.

It seems that the male protagonist here is very cool, he doesn't care what other people think, he only has his daughter in his heart.

"Isn't it cool, completely different from the previous movies?"

In general movies, the daughter is rebellious, and the father is a good man, whether at home or outside, he is submissive.

And in this movie, the male protagonist is completely different.

Lawrence nodded, "Very interesting arrangement." ”

Next, his daughter was kidnapped, and the actor was calm and calm.

He didn't have enough money, so he naturally asked his ex-wife's current husband to buy him a plane ticket.

He didn't care about those trivial things at all, he only had his daughter's safety in mind.

Although Amanda has seen the finished film for a long time, she still has to admire Lee Shengyao's character portrayal here.

"This is a great father, and with him, there is security."

Amanda's mother is a doctor, her father is a pharmacist, she also has an older sister, and the family is harmonious, and it is the kind of family that is very ordinary and happy.

As a child, she fantasized about being a superhero and imagined her father being a superhero.

However, her father has a gentle personality, and she always plays out.

Later, when she saw the finished film "Hurricane Rescue", she felt that the male protagonist played by Cheng Long was the cool, omnipotent father figure in her heart.

The movie continues, the plot comes to Paris, the male protagonist finds the people who kidnapped his daughter, and then unceremoniously and cleanly solves them.

In order to find out the whereabouts of his daughter, he directly shocked one of the kidnappers.

Later, he got the news that his daughter was about to be auctioned, in order to know the specific auction location, he found an old friend he knew, and the old friend didn't want to say more, so he directly grabbed the gun and shot the old friend's wife in the thigh.

It can be said that he can do anything for his daughter.

This is a father who can be an enemy of the world for the sake of his daughter.

When Amanda read the script, she felt that the handling here was too reckless and unkind, but watching the movie at this time, she felt that the male protagonist was too loving, and he really gave everything for his daughter.

"This is a father who can do anything."

Lawrence smiled and nodded.

The plot continues, the male protagonist finds his daughter, and then kills all the way, killing all the enemies.

In the end, the rich old man who auctioned off his daughter put a knife on his daughter's neck, and he wanted to negotiate with the male protagonist, but the male protagonist didn't pay attention to him at all and shot him in the head.

The theater burst into applause.

It's completely different from the movies that like to force in the past, and finally have to put down the gun and make an ultimate choice.

The male protagonist of this movie is too confident.

"This is the coolest dad I've ever seen."

In front of Amanda, a person in the audience shouted.

Soon more people whispered.

Amanda patted Lawrence's arm, "This is the movie I found myself, what do you think?" ”

Lawrence was a little embarrassed, he cleared his throat and whispered: "Amanda, this movie is very good, in my experience, maybe it can be a small hit, and the box office is expected to break 100 million."

Amanda expected the movie to have a box office of fifty or sixty million, but she really didn't expect Lawrence to be so optimistic.

"Really?"

"I feel like I can have."

"Then you communicate with them well then, I must act in a sequel, Li said, the heroine of the sequel will be more important......"

Amanda spoke, and suddenly paused.

Not only does the agent have more contact with the crew of "Hurricane Rescue", but she also has to communicate more with Li Shengyao.

Maybe you should have some more fun sex toys on hand.

It's going to be more interesting.

……

Warner Pictures Headquarters, Toby. Emmerich was working overtime in the office when an assistant walked in.

"Sir, the reputation of "Hurricane Rescue" is very good, and many theaters have said that they will screen "Hurricane Rescue", and the number of venues where it will be shown tomorrow should reach 2,500."

"In addition, some analysts believe that on the premiere day of "Hurricane Rescue" today, the box office can reach 7 million US dollars, far ahead of "Revelation" and "Love Holiday".

"Revelation" has received a lot of attention with the promotional slogan of the sequel to "The Passion of the Christ", and 3,600 museums have been opened.

The premiere of "Love Holiday" also has 2,600 museums.

Both films have more openings than "Hurricane Rescue", but the box office is far inferior.

Toby watched Cheng Long's previous movies, and he didn't think it was good, and it was enough to watch one or two.

Those funny places make people feel very mentally retarded.

He was naturally very surprised by the word-of-mouth and box office trend of "Hurricane Rescue".

"How so? Do audiences still like Jackie's comedy? ”

The assistant shook his head, "Sir, according to our information, this movie is completely different from Jackie's previous movies, a completely different style of action, not funny, but portraying a very powerful, great father." ”

"There are already people commenting on Rotten Tomatoes that Jackie is the most powerful father of the new century."

"And the box office of this movie should be better than everyone expected."

Toby looked up, his eyes much more serious.

"Why do you say that?"

"According to the information inquired by our people, this film has gained an excellent reputation not only in China, but also in the beautiful country, in the United Kingdom, France, and Spain, and our marketing department predicts that the total global box office of the film is expected to exceed 250 million."

"So much? Why does Europe like this movie? ”

"In addition to the completely different fighting style, there is also fatherly love, and the most important point is that the villains of this movie are immigrant gangs, and in Europe, the audience has long been unable to stand those immigrants."

The assistant paused for a moment, and then said: "It is said that many people have a special appreciation for movies because of this."

Toby nodded, "It turns out that this is the reason, this is indeed a direction, and our future movies can try this aspect." ”

He thought for a moment, then asked, "What's going on with Jackie?"

"He's still doing publicity, I think...... He will be more determined to share the global box office, and this movie gives him enough capital. ”

The boss behind the New Line movie is Warner.

"Rush Hour 3" can also be said to be a Warner movie.

Toby nodded, "Let's leave this matter alone, let the people on the new line think about it, I'm more interested in the young director of Hurricane Rescue right now, he's so young, so good, he's definitely talent." ”

The assistant did not answer.

"You told me before that his status in Huaxia is very unusual?"

"Yes, he has his own film and television production company, cinema chain, and distribution company in Huaxia, and he is one of the top giants over there."

"It's amazing, but if he wants to make money, he has to come to Hollywood."

Toby hit the nail on the head, and he knew very well why Lee Shengyao invited Cheng Long to play "Hurricane Rescue".

The Chinese film market has not yet exploded, and it is difficult to make a profit with a large investment, and there is only a chance when it is released in a beautiful country.

"You look for the next film project and see if there is a suitable one for him, such a talent should come to Warner."

……

Computers have long been popularized in beautiful countries, but the movie promotion here rarely exerts force on the Internet.

Hollywood's main means of propaganda are traditional television, radio, and print media.

After Cheng Long came to the beautiful country, he recorded seven TV stations in a row, and just accepted an interview with a Los Angeles radio station.

By the time he finished work, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening, and he was tired enough.

In the end, when you are older, you can't compare it with when you were younger.

He got in the car and then asked the driver to go back to the hotel, where he needed to get a good night's sleep.

At this moment, the assistant next to him cheered.

Cheng Long opened his eyes slightly, "What's wrong?" ”

"Big brother, there is a box office commissioner here on Rotten Tomatoes, and the box office of "Hurricane Rescue" may be seven million on the first day."

Cheng Long's eyes widened when he heard this, "Really? What is the ranking in a few days? ”

"It should be the first place, the second place "Revelation", the third place "Love Holiday", and the fourth place "007: Casino Royale" should all be in the early two millions."

"007: Casino Royale" has been in theaters for two weeks, and this movie has made enough money, and the box office will only get less and less.

But "Revelation" and "Love Holiday" are new films, and "Revelation" is still a super blockbuster with more than 3,000 museums.

Cheng Long never expected that "Hurricane Rescue" would be scheduled with less than half of the films, and the box office on the first day could surpass "Revelation".

"Amazing, Director Li is really amazing, haha, this time they can't underestimate me."

The assistant looked excited, and then said: "Big brother, "Hurricane Rescue" has a very good reputation on Rotten Tomatoes, everyone says that you are the most powerful father in the new century, and many people praise your action style, saying that you are not funny, but more charming."

Cheng Long nodded, and then thought of Li Shengyao's original words, as long as he set up his father's personality, he could make him popular for another ten years, and now it seems that this first step is stable.

Ten more years of popularity, another ten years of popularity in a beautiful country, this is something that Cheng Long didn't dare to think about before.

"What about the news from the mainland?"

"The mainland's word-of-mouth is a big hit, and the box office is good, it premiered at 6 o'clock on Wednesday night and got 12 million box office, and it may be able to break the record in the first week."

The first-week box office record in the mainland is the 82 million held by "Wu Ji".

However, "Wu Ji" only took three days.

And now "Hurricane Rescue" has five days.

Cheng Long nodded, "Okay, this is good." ”

"In addition, in Great Britain, France, and Spanish Duck have exploded, Great Britain is second only to "007: Casino Royale", and in France, Spanish Duck is the first at the local box office."

Cheng Long is over fifty years old, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but wave his fist excitedly, "This time it's really a global explosion, it's the same as "Rush Hour 1". ”

The assistant then scratched his head and stopped, "There is good news." ”

"You say."

"The box office here on Hong Kong Island is also good, four million on the first day,"

Cheng Long was stunned, somewhat surprised.

Hong Kong Island's first-day box office record was "Kung Fu", which got 4.49 million in one day.

After Cheng Long returned from Hollywood, he was not popular on Hong Kong Island because of his proximity to the mainland and his daughter's affairs.

His previous "New Police Story", "Myth", and "Baby Plan", except for "Baby Plan", which had a better box office, the other two were only a few million.

I never expected that this time there would be four million on the first day.

He then thought of the style of "Hurricane Rescue" and what Lee Shengyao said before, and couldn't help asking: "Is my previous kung fu comedy really outdated?"

The assistant hurriedly shook his head, "No...... Big brother, your kung fu comedy is still very popular, doesn't "Baby Project" have a box office of 20 million on Hong Kong Island? We've got your back. ”

Cheng Long glanced at the assistant, and knew in his heart that the assistant was comforting him.

He was a little disappointed, but then he thought of Li Shengyao's words that he could be popular for another ten years, and suddenly came to his senses.

He is already fifty-two years old, and if he is on fire for another ten years, it will be more than sixty, which is enough.

He then took out his mobile phone, intending to communicate with Li Shengyao and enhance his relationship.

The first blockbuster shot has such a result, it is definitely a genius, a genius of Spielberg's level.

Under review in the previous chapter.
