Cheng Long originally just wanted his agent to talk to Jamie, but he didn't expect to hear such words that made him excited.

Take yourself as the prototype to create an oriental superhero that can be comparable to Batman, Spider-Man, and Superman.

If this thing is done, it can definitely help Cheng Long realize his long-cherished wish for many years.

Surpass Bruce Lee!

In fact, at the movie level alone, Cheng Long's achievements today have surpassed Bruce Lee back then, and it can even be said that he has thrown off a lot.

But Bruce Lee, with his superb kung fu and unique personality charm, has risen to become a cultural symbol and synonymous with kung fu.

As a latecomer, Cheng Long wants to surpass, to be honest, it is basically impossible.

But now Jamie's idea of creating an oriental superhero has given Cheng Long new hope.

Originally, Cheng Long was still puzzled by the question of who to choose between Spielberg's movie and the live-action movie "The Adventures of Cheng Long".

Now that Jamie has been injected with a dose of chicken blood, Cheng Long's tone and expression have completely changed.

Become more enthusiastic.

After the agent noticed the change in Cheng Long, he knew that he had made a decision in his heart.

It's time to give Spielberg's side a clear answer.

After whispering to Cheng Long, the agent called the translator to leave together.

Without anyone present, Cheng Long also opened his heart and made it clear to Jamie that he was willing to star in "The Adventures of Cheng Long".

And to cover up and say that he was willing to accompany Jamie on this big gamble.

Even such a heavy word was said, and Jamie naturally knew Cheng Long's true intentions in his heart.

To put it bluntly, I still don't know the bottom of the live-action movie "The Adventures of Cheng Long".

"Brother Cheng Long, I still remember I told you that I like Hong Kong Island movies very much, not only your movies, but I also watch other people's movies, I know that there is a saying on Hong Kong Island, Fortnight, which is talking about the three most box office appealing actors on Hong Kong Island."

"And then I've always wondered, why don't the three of you work together, wouldn't that make a movie that would have been higher at the box office?"

Although Cheng Long didn't understand why Jamie suddenly said that he was on Hong Kong Island again, he was in a foreign country, and he was happy to tell others some stories about Hong Kong Island.

"If someone else asks me this question, I will definitely prevaricate with the reasons that the schedule can't make up a piece and the script is not suitable, because it is true."

"But yes, of course I'll be honest, in fact, it's because no matter how average the scenes in a movie are, there will always be a more brilliant character between the characters, so there will be some problems for people who play relatively less brilliant roles."

"Even if I don't mind, but the media will evaluate it like that, in fact, the term "biennial trip" was deliberately invented by the media to make us compare with each other, so that they can have a story to write."

It is also for a knowledgeable foreigner like Jamie that Cheng Long will say these heart-wrenching words.

I didn't expect Jamie to say something after listening to it.

"But Hong Kong films actually have a way to solve this problem and realize the cooperation of multiple superstars, right?"

Cheng Long was mistaken, and replied with a wry smile:

"Yes, if everyone is pointed at the head by the underworld, or receives a threatening letter with bullets, you can find as many stars as you want to film with, I have experienced this kind of thing before, of course, now it is okay, there will be no such thing on Hong Kong Island."

Jamie shook his head.

"No, no, I mean, Hong Kong Island filmmakers have actually explored a film model that allows multiple superstars to coexist, but you don't realize it, and of course Hollywood doesn't realize it now."

Cheng Long's first reaction was that Jamie was joking with him.

If a Hong Kong Island filmmaker really explores this model, how can he not know?

Jamie didn't care about Cheng Long's puzzled gaze, and continued:

"I found a very interesting thing when I was checking the box office list of Hong Kong Island over the years."

"The box office champion of Hong Kong Island in 89 is a movie called "God of Gamblers", and the box office champion in 90 is a movie called "The Saint of Gambling", I heard that it is also the first movie on Hong Kong Island to break 40 million at the box office, and then there is another movie called "Gambler" in the same year, and the box office also exceeded 40 million."

"When I saw the names of these three movies at that time, I was still a little stupid and couldn't tell the difference, and I thought that the three movies were a series, and then I found out that the stories behind these three movies are even more exciting than the movies themselves."

The expression on Cheng Long's face has changed from curiosity at the beginning to embarrassment in capital letters now.

It's really not embarrassing.

Because the stories behind the three movies "God of Gamblers", "Saint of Gambling" and "Gambler" involve a much-criticized issue in the Hong Kong Island film industry.

Follow the trend and plagiarize!

How serious is the problem?

If a movie doesn't have a dozen or so plagiarized works, they are embarrassed to tell people that this movie has been popular.

In 89, Wang Jin filmed "God of Gamblers", which was a mess.

In fact, this movie is also Wang Jin's own copy of his previous ideas.

In 90, Liu Zhenwei followed the trend and filmed "The Saint of Gambling", which not only broke 40 million at the box office for the first time, but also became popular with Zhou Xingchi.

Wang Jin immediately quit.

He can copy himself, but how can others copy him?

After all, he had always copied others before.

Immediately, Wang Jin pulled Zhou Xingchi, and also got Liu Dehua, a popular fried chicken at the time, to shoot a sequel that was not a sequel to "The Saint of Gambling", in order to avoid the defendant, he deliberately changed the name to "The Gambler".

The key is that this sequel that follows the trend and plagiarizes almost surpassed "The Saint of Gambling" at the box office.

This time it was Liu Zhenwei's turn to be unhappy.

He just followed Wang Jin's theme, and Wang Jin directly copied his back road.

The angry Liu Zhenwei immediately pulled up the crowd and filmed an authentic sequel to "The Saint of Gambling" "Gambling Tyrant".

It's a pity that in copying this piece, Liu Zhenwei still doesn't have the talent of Wang Jin.

In the end, "Gambler" ended up hitting the street at the box office.

Now that a foreigner mentions this old incident in front of Cheng Long, his first reaction is of course to be embarrassed.

But this time Cheng Long misunderstood again.

Before Cheng Long could speak, Jamie explained:

"After watching these three movies and knowing the stories behind them, I thought it was a pity, if these three movies were made into a series and shared the same worldview, they could actually derive more blockbuster movies."

"The most important thing is that it solves the problem we just discussed, how to get multiple superstars to appear in a movie together, without stealing the show from each other, but instead everyone can work together to push up the box office of a movie."

Cheng Long couldn't help but be stunned.

It was the first time he had heard someone look at the gains and losses of the three movies "God of Gamblers", "Saint of Gambling" and "Gambler" from the perspective of a shared world view.

Come to think of it, Jamie has a point.

If after "God of Gamblers", "Saint of Gambling", and "Gambler", Zhou Yunfa, Zhou Xingchi, and Liu Dehua appear in the same gambling film together, it is estimated that the first movie on Hong Kong Island with a box office of more than 50 million will not have to wait until 94 years.

Of course, this is all from an afterthought, and Wang Jin and Liu Zhenwei would definitely not have thought of this at that time.

Just as Cheng Long fell into thought, Jamie's voice continued to sound:

"I call this model the cinematic universe, that is, multiple films with different protagonists share the same worldview, so that it can effectively solve the problem of aesthetic fatigue caused by a single protagonist to the audience after shooting multiple movies in a row."

"In fact, the best way to achieve this kind of cinematic universe is to be in DC or Marvel's comic superheroes, but it's a pity that neither DC nor Marvel have realized this, or have realized it but don't have enough courage to take the first step."

"For us, this is an opportunity."

Cheng Long knows better than anyone the advantages of the pioneer, and Bruce Lee was the first to make a name for himself in kung fu movies internationally.

And Cheng Long, as a later catch-up, spent more than 20 years before he dared to say that he caught up with Bruce Lee in the movie.

This is because Bruce Lee died unexpectedly.

If Bruce Lee hadn't died, people like Cheng Long and Hong Jinbao didn't know when they would have to come out.

Now that an opportunity to become a pioneer is in front of Cheng Long, how can he not be impressed?

"You mean, The Adventures of Cheng Long can be made into a cinematic universe?"

Cheng Long asked eagerly.

Jamie shrugged.

He has even thought of a name here, and it's called Cheng Long Cinematic Universe.

The volume is definitely not as big as Marvel and DC, but "The Adventures of Cheng Long" itself has a unique advantage, and the pros and cons in it have their own characteristics.

And it also has a ready-made superhero team similar to the Avengers and Justice League.

Dragon Group!

The regular members are Cheng Long, Xiao Yu, Tru, Niu Warrior and Little Snake.

The assisting parties include Daddy and Sheriff Black, which can actually be counted in this hero team.

In his previous life, when he was watching cartoons, Jamie felt that the configuration of the dragon group was really similar to the Avengers of the MCU.

Bald Sheriff Black targets the black brine egg mother to provoke Fakeman.

Cheng Long can benchmark against Iron Man, or the American team.

Xiaoyu benchmarks against Spider-Man.

Daddy benchmarks Doctor Strange.

Tru benchmarked the Hulk.

The bull warrior benchmarked Thor.

Xiaoyu is against the Black Widow.

Although "The Adventures of Cheng Long" did not make live-action movies in his previous life, Jamie can copy other movies.

The simplest framework of the entire Cheng Long Cinematic Universe can be copied from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

"The Adventures of Cheng Long" itself has Cheng Long as the core protagonist.

You can't make a single movie like "Iron Man", "Thor", and "Team America", but you can make a double protagonist like "Rush Hour".

Considering that Xiaoyu and Daddy and Cheng Long are basically tied to death, Cheng Long's other partner in the dual-protagonist mode can choose Blake, Bull Warrior and Tru.

From the main line of finding the twelve charms, gradually bring out the members of the dragon group.

Finally, the dragon group is assembled.

The first stage is to fight the Holy Lord who is trying to be resurrected by twelve spells.

The second stage seals the eight demons.

The third stage is to fight the Ghost Shadow Corps.

This is the overall framework, and the most important thing is, of course, the first stage.

If the story of the first stage is not told well, and the box office performance of the movie is not satisfactory, then there is no way to talk about the story after the second stage.

On the other hand, if the first phase is successful, the second phase can add more original characters that did not appear in the anime.

The entire Cheng Long Cinematic Universe can be summed up in one sentence of Jamie - Cheng Long who fights with iron, the partner of flowing water, and finally everyone teams up to fight the boss together.

Especially the previous one, which is in the middle of the dragon's arms.

Because in the "Rush Hour" series, Cheng Long suffered the loss of his fixed partner.

Originally, "Rush Hour 2" was a great success, whether it was Cheng Long's own wishes or the usual urine of Hollywood film companies, it should have started filming "Rush Hour 3" non-stop immediately.

But the reality is that "Rush Hour 3" was stuck in the preparation stage.

The problem lies with Cheng Long's partner Chris Tucker in the film.

Before filming Rush Hour, Chris Tucker was just a little-known actor in Hollywood.

As a result, "Rush Hour" became popular, and this guy was jealous of Cheng Long's high salary, so he directly opened a sky-high price of $25 million with the producer when filming the sequel.

is higher than Cheng Long's salary at that time.

Considering the success of the first part, the substitution was too risky, and the studio could only grit its teeth and agree to Chris Tucker's request.

As a result, "Rush Hour 2" exploded at the box office, and Cheng Long's salary plus box office dividends earned a total of $40 million.

Chris Tucker suddenly felt unbalanced in his heart, knowing that he should have asked for box office dividends in the first place.

So when the film company approached him to talk about "Rush Hour 3", this guy didn't want to think about it, so he directly asked for a $25 million salary plus box office dividends.

If you want to call this guy stupid, he's actually quite shrewd.

He knew that he was just lucky to hug the thigh of the "Rush Hour" series, which is why he was able to earn such a high salary.

So, of course, we have to catch this sheep and kill it.

But the studio now regrets it even more.

knew that "Rush Hour 2" would be a big hit at the box office, and he should have directly changed Cheng Long's partner.

Hollywood's sharp-tongued black actors like Chris Tucker have grabbed a handful.

Now Chris Tucker and Cheng Long have filmed two "Rush Hour" in a row, and the "Rush Hour" series has been tied to death.

If "Rush Hour 3" is replaced, the audience will definitely not buy it.

In addition, Cheng Long is also very unhappy with Chris Tucker's higher salary than himself in "Rush Hour 2".

He fights life and death in the movie, filming all kinds of dangerous actions, and Chris Tucker is just showing off his lip service, and it is not fair at all to get such a high salary for playing a treasure.

The film company was not happy, and Cheng Long was not happy, and the filming plan of "Rush Hour 3" was shelved.

The funniest thing is that Chris Tucker has also insisted in an interview with the media that he has been waiting for the film company and Cheng Long to call him and tell him when "Rush Hour 3" will start filming.

With Chris Tucker's lesson, Cheng Long has a psychological shadow on his regular partner.

Even if Cheng Long's cinematic universe can constantly change partners, the choice of partners is also an issue that Cheng Long is very concerned about.
