Chapter 270 Tentative 1/4
Chapter 270 Tentative (14)
Jackie Chan is, of course, a superstar.
He cannot be summed up by his status as a celebrity in Hollywood, because he did not enter Hollywood by relying on English films, unlike Li Lien, who entered Hollywood as the villain of "The Sky Cannon 4"...
"Red Zone" is a Hong Kong film, but it opened simultaneously in 1,794 theaters in North America, which is unprecedented!
As a result, the film's box office reached US$9.86 million in its first week, ranking first at the box office. The final box office reached US$32.39 million, breaking the North American non-Hollywood film grossing record.
At that time, the old American audience applauded for several minutes in the cinema after watching it, and shouted "Amazing" and "Unbelievable", thus knocking on the door of Jackie Chan's Hollywood.
Next, New Line continued to distribute Jackie Chan's Hong Kong films, but at the same time, another Hollywood distributor, Miramax, also took up the idea of Jackie Chan.
But Jackie Chan's new films such as "A Simple Mission" and "A Good Man" are handed over to New Line for distribution. What should they do?
Just buy Jackie Chan's previous Hong Kong films, including "Police Story 3", "Drunken Master 2", "Double Dragon Club", "Eagle Project", etc. released in North America.
Just imagine, a Chinese star can get Hollywood to buy his old Hong Kong movies and release them in North America. Jackie Chan, who hasn't even filmed "Rush Hour" yet, is already so popular in Hollywood?
Moreover, several Hong Kong films, with the exception of "Two Dragons", have all grossed over 10 million US dollars at the North American box office.
This appeal is top-notch!
Everyone has their own golden age, and naturally there will be troughs. This is a natural rule, and it is also an iron law in the film and television industry.
…
"I know about the massacre of the city, but what is the Jingjing Temple?"
"Precision world view?"
There is no doubt that Jackie Chan is actually the most famous Chinese in the world!
Han Shanping nodded: "Sure, then "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" will be China Film's key project next year!"
Regarding investment, I guess there will be a lot of wrangling...
"What's wrong?"
Han Shanping frowned: "...Then who do you think is suitable?"
But he is pretty good. At least he doesn’t tell others that he is an international movie star. In contrast, Teacher Six emphasizes his status as an international movie star...
"Brother is ready to star?"
Han Shanping also came over: "What surpasses "Hero"?"
Han Shanping asked again: "By the way, who are you going to find as director?"
Zhang Guoli came over cheerfully: "What are you talking about?"
Jackie Chan replied seriously: "Listen to the lectures of educated people!"
Just treat him as an actor with the right to speak.
'Rush Hour' two-parter hits global blockbuster charts...
"The result is very tragic. The famous poet Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty wrote in the poem "Twelve Yuefu Poems Newly Titled by He Li Xiaoshu·Furong People"... In the Ming Dynasty, the Tibetan troops rode in all directions, and the ancient tombs were deep in the forest. There were no trees. Young Zhuang. The head of the prisoner was cut off, and the old man was cut into pieces. The wild corpses were littered with black kites, and the pavilions were turned into gray walls. This means that in the middle of the night, the Tibetan army invaded the city, and the young prisoners had their beards and hair shaved off and were taken away. Slaves; the old ones cut off their feet and let them stay. The city was littered with corpses, and the city's buildings and pavilions were reduced to dust..."
After all, it’s a Jackie Chan movie!
But he still asked Shen Xudong: "Do you think Wu Yusen is not good?"
"Has the filming of "Legendary" been completed?"
"Beijing means a high hill; Guan means a tower. When ancient people killed thieves and laid out the corpses of a victorious battle, they would build a Jingguan as a place to hide the corpses. This was the location of ancient battlefields...meaning to collect the corpses or heads of the defeated. Put them together, place them neatly, reinforce them with soil, and form a human wall..."
Jackie Chan was surrounded by the crowd and left - big brother really likes the excitement!
"One Knife Allures the City"…
"...Of course not. I actually feel that Hong Kong's creative method of just coming up with something is not suitable for works that need to build a sophisticated world view..."
Of course, the Jackie Chan in Shen Xudong’s memory is already old...
Jackie Chan listened very carefully and he especially respected educated people!
"No, big brother is interested in the history of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", so I just said it..."
"...That's good." Han Shanping nodded, looked at Jackie Chan, and added: "It's best to find some mainland actors..."
A group of people looked at him, and Shen Xudong explained: "He is good at making gangster movies, but his control over grand scenes has always been his weakness. "Wind Whisperer" has already illustrated this... The most important thing about "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is The grand scene...I feel like he can't capture it..."
Tang Jili said: "Does Director Han have any recommendations?"
"Wars were normal in ancient times, including building temples and slaughtering cities..."
"So miserable?"
"It's still a little bit short...it should be completed around December!"
If you drink too much wine in the cup, you won't be able to kill all the enemies!
As long as we share the same goals, even if the road is full of wind and frost, there will still be a day when the sun shines brightly; the mountains are high and the road is far away, why not spread our wings and fly together; wind and rain are on the same road, even if the world is just a short distance away...
"Don't!" Shen Xudong directly interrupted...
"Teacher Sammo Hung is pretty good, and his "One Knife, Allure" is pretty good!"
Jackie Chan trusted his senior brother very much and nodded: "I sent him the script and invited him to direct..."
"Recently Wu Yusen returned to China to develop..."
Jackie Chan nodded: "Hmm... I like this Lu Shishi, and I'm going to find Sammo Hung to play Guo Yuanzheng!"
"Director Han...Brother Jackie Chan said that he wants to work with Mr. Sammo Hung on "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"!"
I told him about the history of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty": "After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Siye, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, led 5,000 troops to the march, Anxi March Sima Li Qijun led 7,000 troops, and Ma Phosphorus led 3,000 elite troops to rush back to the mainland. He rebelled and never came back."
"While the Tang Dynasty's main forces in Hexi and Longyou were also suppressing the rebellion in the mainland, the Tubo army completely captured the Hexi Corridor. From then on, the connection between the Tang Dynasty's mainland and the Western Regions was severed."
Therefore, Shen Xudong's attitude towards Jackie Chan is definitely respectful, but it's not like licking...
Jackie Chan nodded...
But Shen Xudong is not interested in knowing this, and he doesn't want to pay anyway.
forget about it.
Feng Xiaogang immediately answered: "Then...the box office will start at least 200 million! It's no problem surpassing "Hero"!"
No longer popular!
In fact, it's quite normal. No one can stand firm and remain at the top.
Han Shanping...actually prefers Wu Yusen to direct, it's a blockbuster, a big director + a big star. Although Sammo Hung is also somewhat famous, compared with Wu Yusen, he still loses!
But Shen Xudong proposed it, and Jackie Chan also supported it...
"That's true!" Han Shanping nodded: "They really don't have much culture!"
"Let's just say that in "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", the characters' lines and behavioral habits cannot exceed that era... The director in Hong Kong doesn't care about this at all..."
"That's necessary, it's a co-production!"
There are too many golden sayings: Those who have always cared about their country will be sad people for eternity;
In this age when ambition is hard to achieve and everything is hard to achieve, it has been a lot of hard work to stand firm;
Shen Xudong took the initiative to change the topic: "By the way, Director Han, I made an appointment with someone from Chengtian to create a movie with the theme of "Three Kingdoms". What do you think?"
"'Three Kingdoms'?" Han Shanping nodded: "'Three Kingdoms' is a hot topic, and it is well-known throughout Asia... What are you going to write?"
"I'm thinking about writing about characters, such as Zhao Zilong, or classic battles, such as Chibi and Guandu... Can you give me your opinion?"
"Zhao Zilong? Why Zhao Zilong? Cao Cao is the popular figure, right?"
Chapter completed!
