Chuck and Nate both showed strong curiosity about John's star-chasing.

Jamie said on the spot that if the two could guess who the male star John liked was, they would give them a season ticket to the Bulls' games this season, and it was the best one.

"Every time you mention your father, you always say that he is a tough guy, and I guess the star he likes should be Stallone!"

Chuck spoke first, confidently.

Jamie shook his head and rejected the answer.

He hoped that it would be Stallone, so that he would have a good relationship with the other party in advance, and maybe he could pick up a father-in-law for nothing in the future.

Unfortunately, not.

"That's got to be Schwarzenegger! You can't go wrong! ”

Chuck reluctantly added.

Jamie didn't answer immediately, but turned to look at Nate, who was hesitant.

"Are you going to adopt this answer?"

Chuck convinces Nate to believe him, but Nate always has doubts in his heart.

Stallone and Schwarzenegger are indeed the two representatives of Hollywood's tough guys, but Shanger Winton and Bruce Willis are also eligible.

The correct answer doesn't have to be the most famous.

In the end, Nate decided to think differently and look for answers from John's identity.

After some deliberation, Nate spoke:

"When it comes to Montana, many people's first reaction is the West and cowboys, and Hollywood happens to have a best spokesperson for cowboys."

Nate observes Jamie's reaction as he speaks the answer.

"Clint Eastwood, is that him?"

Jamie shrugged regretfully.

Nate ascended in ecstasy.

He guessed right!

Chuck was full of chagrin, he actually thought of guessing from the cowboy, but in the end he still felt that the tough guy was more reliable.

Jamie didn't immediately deny Nate's answer.

Because in a sense, Nate did guess right.

If John hadn't had a soul in his body, his favorite Hollywood star would indeed be Mr. Toki, an old cowboy.

Nate was happy that he had won the Bulls' season ticket, but immediately began to frustrate again.

NBA teams play 82 games in the regular season, half at home and half on the road.

The problem was that Nate simply didn't have that much free time to fly to Chicago to watch all 41 games.

He couldn't help but complain to Chuck that it would be nice if the Bulls were in New York.

Chuck replied unceremoniously to Nate.

If you don't have time to look at it, transfer the ticket to me.

Nate really needs to think about it.

Just as he was about to reply to Chuck, Jamie's voice suddenly rang out.

"Is it too early for you to talk about tickets? I didn't say that you got it right. ”

Nate and Chuck were stunned at the same time.

So that star John likes isn't Clint Eastwood?

Chuck immediately named all of Hollywood's tough-guy stars, and Nate told Hollywood's actors and directors who are good at making Westerns.

What they really care about is not the Bulls' season ticket anymore, but sheer curiosity about what the answer is.

After rejecting all the names mentioned by Chuck and Nate, Jamie finally comes up with a name that neither friend would expect.

Jackie Chan!

Cheng Long!

If Chuck and Nate had been told this answer a few years earlier, neither of them would have believed it at all, and might even have asked a rhetorical question.

Who is this guy?

But now they certainly won't ask such stupid questions again.

Because just this year, "Rush Hour 2" was released, with a North American box office of 226 million, and it is currently ranked second in the North American box office list in 2001.

At the top of the list is the box office dark horse "Shrek", which was released in April, but it was an animated film.

In other words, in terms of live-action movies, "Rush Hour 2" ranks first.

As the leading actor of this movie, Cheng Long can be said to be indisputably standing at the top of Hollywood this year.

Although Jamie knows that there will be two more heavyweight movies coming in November and December.

A cartoon like "Shrek", "Monster Electric Company".

There is also a fantasy epic masterpiece "The Lord of the Rings".

When these two movies are released, the ranking of "Rush Hour 2" will be dropped to fourth place.

In fact, it should be fifth, because the North American box office champion in 01 in the previous life was "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Even so, the previous conclusion remains the same.

Whether it is "The Lord of the Rings" or "Harry Potter", which does not exist in this world, it can be an adapted movie, and the box office of the movie has an influential bonus.

The high box office of the two movies is inseparable from the wonderful performances of the actors, but the main reason is the embodiment of IP value.

The most intuitive proof of this is the actor who relied on these two films to become famous, and there are no particularly commendable works after leaving these two series.

Typical film achievement actor.

The "Rush Hour" series is different, this is a box office that is really supported by the leading actor Cheng Long.

Although the movie has two protagonists, how many viewers went to watch this movie for the black male protagonist who can only talk about it?

It is estimated that it is not even a percentage.

And in the North American box office of "Rush Hour 2", Chuck and Nate both contributed a movie ticket.

So when Jamie said that the object of his father John's star-chasing was Cheng Long.

Chuck and Nate, though shocked, did not doubt the authenticity of the incident.

They were just a little unhappy with Jamie's deliberate attempt to induce associations in the wrong direction.

Who would have thought that John's target for star-chasing turned out to be a foreign movie star.

In fact, even Jamie didn't expect it.

However, he can understand his father's star-chasing Cheng Long very well.

After all, when my father was young in his previous life, it was the heyday of Hong Kong Island movies, and Cheng Long was a representative of that golden age.

In addition, most of Cheng Long's movies play policemen, which makes him even more appetizing to his father, who was a criminal policeman in his previous life.

Basketball and Cheng Long, these two John's biggest hobbies in his previous life got together, and Jamie, who was a son, couldn't stand aside.

That night, back at the Hampshire House penthouse, Jamie made another call to John, originally wanting to talk about Cheng Long's movie.

This should be regarded as one of the few points of interest intersection between father and son in the past and present life.

Cheng Long's movies, even in the era of Jamie in his previous life, are still not outdated, of course, the bad movies made by Cheng Long in the later period are not counted.

Not to mention the various hot stalks about Cheng Long's movies on the Internet.

Like the God of War in Furniture City and Cheng Long's Happy Lamp, it is definitely familiar to UP masters like Jamie, and they are easy to come by.

However, Jamie still underestimated his father's love for Cheng Long.

After chatting with John for a while about Cheng Long's previous movies, John suddenly said:

"You said that if Cheng Long's vision of receiving films is better, will his achievements in Hollywood be higher?"

After a moment's hesitation, Jamie asked tentatively.

"For example?"

In his previous life, Cheng Long won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, although it was only an honorary award, but this was basically the highest honor that an action actor could receive.

Even Stallone, who presented Cheng Long with the award, has never won this honor himself.

Isn't that enough topping?

John on the other end of the phone said.

"But Yang Ziqiong also won the Oscar!"

Jamie didn't know what to say on the spot.

That was more than 20 years later, can it be compared to the current situation?

John was still not reconciled, and added another sentence on the phone.

"I heard that Yang Ziqiong's movie was originally the leading actor who wanted to find Cheng Long to play, and Cheng Long himself didn't want to act and recommended it to Yang Ziqiong."

The implication is that if Cheng Long acted in that movie, he might also win the Oscar.

Jamie wanted to say something on the spot.

You're not thinking about fart!

Although Jamie still admires Yang Ziqiong for winning the Oscar, after serious exploration, the key words behind Yang Ziqiong's award are actually "minorities" and "women".

In the era when the Oscars have not yet fallen into the "ZZ correct" magic, Yang Ziqiong's "Mother's Multiverse" is not even a winner, and there is no possibility of being shortlisted.

Not to mention the various stereotypes in the movie, to put it bluntly, it is an Oscar special film.

If Cheng Long is replaced to act in this movie, it will be another bad movie with a bad reputation.

For the first time since John crossed over, he was refuted by Jamie so much that he had nothing to say, and he threw out a sentence directly in anger.

"Okay, since you are so right, and you have so many European and American movies in your head, you come to help Cheng Long pick a few movies, I don't express any opinions, just invest with my eyes closed, my requirements are not high, as long as it can be more popular than "Rush Hour 2".

Jamie went straight to emo

Is this called undemanding?

Until the two of them traveled together, Cheng Long's "Rush Hour 2" still held the highest box office record for a Hollywood movie starring a Chinese.

But since John has left all his words here, Jamie has to do it if he can't.

At the same time as John, Jamie, father and son were on the phone.

Los Angeles, inside a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Cheng Long was also making a transatlantic phone call with his son.

The son on the other end of the phone complained that Cheng Long hadn't come back to see him for a long time, so now he wanted to see Cheng Long, but he could only do it in the newspaper and on TV.

Cheng Long's reason, as always, is that he is very busy on the American side.

Although the release period of "Rush Hour 2" has ended, Cheng Long received another invitation to a movie a while ago.

He hasn't seen the movie script yet, and it's said to be a sci-fi action movie.

But it doesn't matter, because it was the great director Spielberg who sent the invitation to Cheng Long.

Because the project is still under negotiation, Cheng Long also specially warned his son not to disclose the news to others.

The son took the opportunity to propose that he wanted to go back to the United States to rest for a while.

Cheng Long was immediately unhappy.

"Rest, know rest all day! You are spoiled by your mother, you know how much hardship I suffered when I was a child to learn drama and practice kung fu, and now you are just learning music with Li Zongsheng for a year and complaining about being tired all day long! ”

"But the NBA is about to start, do you remember when I was sixteenth birthday, you asked me what I wanted, and I said my biggest wish was that you could take me to a Bulls Jordan game."

Cheng Long was stunned.

He did promise his son that, but at that time he was making another movie, and by the time the movie was finished, it was already the second year, and then Jordan retired.

After that, Cheng Long was able to spare time, but his son had lost interest in watching a Bulls game without Jordan.

In the end, the matter was settled.

As a result, Jordan made a comeback, and now that his son brings up this matter again, Cheng Long is really a little difficult to refuse.

In particular, Cheng Long's agent in the United States just called him more than an hour ago, and the Bulls officially gave Cheng Long a ticket for the regular season opener.

The kind that sits in the first row on the sidelines.

Because of Jordan's comeback, this opening game can be described as highly anticipated, and now Hollywood stars are trying their best to get such a ticket.

If it's just for watching the game, it's easy to get a ticket for the middle row.

But the problem is that everyone's real purpose is not to watch the game, but to rub the heat of Jordan's comeback game.

Only when you sit in the front rows will you be captured by live TV cameras and media reporters.

Cheng Long was able to receive the first row of tickets from the Bulls officially, which is unbelievable in the words of his agent.

This also proves from the side that the current Cheng Long is really popular.

But there is only one ticket, and Cheng Long will definitely not give up this opportunity to show his face in front of the national audience, but give the ticket to his son.

Cheng Long really loves his son, but it has not yet reached the point where he can't tell who is the father.

On the phone, Cheng Long just promised his son that if Li Zongsheng agreed to his son's leave, then he could take time out to accompany his son to watch a Bulls Jordan game.

After hanging up the phone, Cheng Long was about to call his agent and ask the Bulls about giving him a ticket.

As soon as I picked up my phone, the agent's phone called first.

As soon as it was connected, the agent's exaggerated shouting came from the other end of the phone.

"Jackie, I just got a message that is unbelievable."

Cheng Long was a little confused.

Is something going on?

"I've figured out why the Bulls gave you tickets, and that's an answer you would never have thought of."

"Is it because of Jordan?" Cheng Long asked expectantly.

"No, but it's more amazing than that!"

The agent said excitedly on the other end of the phone:

"It's the owner of the Bulls, John Dutton, he's your fan! Do you know what that means? In the future, you can easily get tickets to the Bulls' home games, which is something that many Hollywood stars dream of. ”

Cheng Long was also stunned for several seconds before coming back to his senses.

Until now, he still couldn't believe it.

Is the Bulls owner his fan?

The agent told Cheng Long that the news was true.

The reason is that the general manager of the Bulls just called him and asked for Cheng Long's mobile phone number in the United States.

It was Bulls owner John Dutton who asked the team's general manager to do so.

The agent called just to give Cheng Long a wake-up call.

Maybe tonight, Cheng Long will receive a call from John Dutton personally.
