In the next few days, Ye Jin would do his best to take Stallone to visit Xiangjiang.

Taiping Mountain, Baolin Temple, Wong Tai Sin, Temple Street Night Market, Victoria Harbor... The unique cultural scenery of Xiangjiang makes Stallone feel eye-opening.

He especially likes the Guerre and Laohuo Soup in Cantonese cuisine. The Guerrere’s sour and sweet taste is very suitable for his taste, while Laohuo Soup has a strong taste and is effective in nourishing the medicine. It tastes like seafood soup, which makes him feel really delicious.

In addition, Ye Jin also took him to the set of Jiahe, introduced him to Sammo Hung, Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao and other Xiangjiang artists, and asked him to observe how the Xiangjiang filmmakers filmed.

When he saw those dragon and tiger martial artists, he jumped down on the second floor or the third floor without any safety treatment; without any special effects, he only wore an asbestos suit and filmed a fire scene; when he was not tied with a safety rope and was only hung in the air by a thin steel wire, Stallone, who claimed to be a [tough guy], couldn't help but look so scared that his face turned pale.

"Ye, you are so crazy!" He shook his head repeatedly at Ye Jin.

This is not a movie, it's just a joke about the life of an actor.

If this happens in Hollywood, the crew will be seized immediately. The producer and investor will be sued for Fating. In addition to making huge compensation, filming will not be allowed to be filmed for at least ten years.

"I admit it." Ye Jin nodded with a smile, "However, there is no way to do it. The competition in the Xiangjiang film industry is too fierce. If you don't work hard and work hard, you will never be able to make a fortune."

Xiangjiang filmmakers are indeed crazy about filming. Not to mention how rough guys like Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Sammo Hung perform, even those who are beautiful women such as Lin Qingxia, Zhang Manyu, and Wang Qixian will still have to take a lot of risks.

Lin Qingxia was hung in the air ten meters high for most of the day when filming "The Smiling and Proud Wanderer 2: The Oriental Unbeaten", and was hung in the air for most of the day when filming "A Chinese Ghost Story 2: The Way of the Human Being", and suddenly fell from the air when hanging the wire; Zhang Manyu was smashed by a dumped iron frame when filming "Police Story 2"; Hu Huizhong was shot in the filming "The Demon Hunting", and was bruised by the explosives that were detonated in advance...

In comparison, the artists of America are much easier. Dangerous shots are almost all substitutes, or they are shot with special effects.

For example, when filming an explosion scene, the Hollywood crew borrows special effects technology to shoot explosion scenes and actor scenes separately, and then synthesize them together. The Xiangjiang crew directly puts the actors in the explosion venue and lets him run out by himself.

When Zhou Runfa was filming "The Detective", Wu Yusen put too much explosives in pursuit of the effect and almost died in the fire.

The reason why Xiangjiang filmmakers are so desperate is that they are limited by the production cost and cannot apply special effects on a large scale; the other is that the competition is too fierce, so they have to fight for their lives in order to get ahead.

During the most prosperous period of Xiangjiang films, there were more than 200,000 film and television practitioners. One out of the 25 people in Xiangjiang was engaged in film and television related work.

In comparison, among the 1.3 billion people in the mainland, there are only three million film and television practitioners. On average, only one in every 400 people is engaged in the film and television industry.

This shows how much competition and pressure the Hong Kong filmmakers face. If they don’t fight hard, they will really not be popular for a long time.

Just like Guan Zhilin, although she is extremely beautiful, she lacks career aspirations. When filming "A Plan Sequel", Jackie Chan asked her to jump off the roof, but she scolded Jackie Chan and stopped filming directly. Zhang Manyu, another actor in the same crew, chose to jump off.

Therefore, Zhang Manyu became the international actress, while Guan Zhilin was just a vase actor throughout her life.

...

"If they all went to Hollywood to develop, I wouldn't have food to eat." Stallone said with a smile again.

He felt that he was enough to fight. When filming "Rocky", he really kept hitting the frozen meat, which resulted in his knuckles flattening and he had not recovered yet. However, compared to the desperate efforts of the people of Hong Kong, he felt that his little struggle was nothing.

"Don't worry, Hollywood won't leave too many places for Chinese people." Ye Jin waved his hand and smiled.

Hollywood has always maintained a suppressive trend towards minority actors. The only thing that Chinese actors really do in Hollywood is Jackie Chan. Other artists seem to be Li Lianjie, Zhou Runfa, Zhang Ziyi and others not working hard, but unfortunately Hollywood has not given them too many opportunities.

Stallone smiled, and then with Ye Jin's recommendation, he met Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Sammo Hung and others.

Just after seeing the scene of Sammo Hung and others fighting for their lives, Stallone admired them very much, so he did not act like a big star because of his fame.

Jackie Chan, Yuan Biao, Sammo Hung and others saw an international superstar as big as Stallone, but they were so kind and were very happy to make friends with him, so the few people had a very close relationship with each other.

"Hong, you jumped down from the second floor just now. I was really shocked. Why didn't you tie the safety rope and dare to jump down like that?" Stallone said to Sammo Hung with a smile.

Sammo Hung shook his hand and said, "What's so great about that? I have been studying Peking Opera since I was a child and practices somersaults every day. Not to mention jumping down from the second floor, even if I jumping down from the third floor, I don't need a safety rope."

"You are so amazing!" Stallone said sincerely in admiration when he heard this.

Ye Jinze looked at Sammo Hung with a smile. He hadn't seen him for several months and his English level has improved a lot.

Although some of the words are not accurate in pronunciation and the word order is a bit inverted, it is enough to make people understand it. He would never have done it before. It can be seen that Sammo Hung has really worked hard to learn English in the past few months.

"Okay, everyone will finish work early in the evening. I will take you to Lan Kwai Fong for fun." Ye Jin said with a smile.

When everyone heard him say this, they immediately cheered.

In the early 1970s, the first bar appeared in Lan Kwai Fong. In the following years, the number of bars and dance halls in Lan Kwai Fong was more and more. A short alley was less than 500 meters long, but there were more than 30 bars and dance halls. At night, men and women were red, green and green, with bright lights and wine, and were very lively.

The entertainment industry is under great pressure, and many people have alcoholism and are regular visitors from Lan Kwai Fong. So, they are naturally happy when they heard that Ye Jin wanted to take everyone to play.

Someone paid for the money for the wine tonight.

...

In the evening, Ye Jin kept his promise and really took everyone to Lan Kwai Fong to play.

"Sanmao, Along, A Biao... You have fun with him." Ye Jin pointed at Sammo Hung and others and said, "At that time, maybe I can work with him."

Although he is constantly bringing Xiangjiang artists to Hollywood to film, a person's power is always limited. If Jackie Chan and others can make more friends in Hollywood, especially those with superstar friends like Stallone, then the opportunity provided by them alone can give Jackie Chan and others endless plays.

This is also the reason why Ye Jin matched them up.
