1872 [Going to the Three Treasures Hall for Nothing]
After the knot in his heart was removed, Zhang Aijia returned to Taiwan and began to actively expand as Xia Tian told him.
Many singers, celebrities, creators, etc. were poached by her, which caused trouble in the Taiwanese entertainment industry for a while, and caused many troubles.
Xia Tian focused on the filming of the movie "Huang Feihong: The Man Should Be Self-reliant". The movie was filmed on the Jiahe studio, where there was a whole Republic of China building complex. Cheng Long's "Plan a" was where he obtained the scenery.
Although Tianxia Film has a much stronger strength than Jiahe, it does not have its own set in Hong Kong. First, Hong Kong has few land and many people, and every inch of land is valuable. Building a set will cost a lot of land alone, and it may not have such a large piece of land; second, it has already planned to build a film and television city in the mainland, so naturally there is no need to repeat construction in Hong Kong.
Now the mainland cinema has completed the Three Kingdoms City and Water Margin City. It is now building the Ming and Qing Dynasties Palace Garden, which is the Forbidden City. It is expected that the entire film and television city will be completed, and it will take at least another ten years to wait.
It was precisely because it was filming on the set of Jiahe that almost everyone in Jiahe came to congratulate on the day the movie started.
"Mr. Xia, you have started a new show. Congratulations!" Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
"Mr. Xia, your first film "Wang Feihong: Ambition" won both box office and reputation. I believe this sequel will definitely be glorious again." He Guanchang also said with a smile.
"A Tian, you will be in this drama yourself, it will definitely be a box office hit!" Hong Jingbao also said with a smile.
"You are kind, you are kind." Xia Tian also greeted them, "I will give you more words. When the box office is sold well, I will hold a celebration banquet and invite you all."
"A word is determined!" Zou Wenhuai laughed, then pulled Xia Tian aside and asked quietly, "Mr. Xia, the thing I mentioned to you last time..."
When Xia Tian heard this, he smiled and knew that they would not enter the Three Treasure Hall without any trouble.
Last time Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang invited him, he hoped that he could bring more Jiahe filmmakers to Hollywood to develop. At that time, he did not agree immediately, but said that he would consider it and temporarily stabilize them. Now that one month has passed, they can't help but ask him again.
However, it is not very beneficial to bringing Jiahe Filmmaker to Hollywood to summer, and at most he only ends up with a thank you, so he is not interested in doing this.
"Mr. Zou, don't worry. Columbia Pictures has started filming a few films recently, but there is nothing suitable for us Hong Kong people. Otherwise, I would have arranged for people from the company to act." Xia Tian smiled and said, "Let's do this, I will go to the United States again in the second half of the year and see the situation."
When Zou Wenhuai saw him say this, he was stunned for a moment, then looked at Xia Tian and said, "Mr. Xia, in order to please you, I have given you two golden flowers in the company. Can't you refuse to admit it after eating it?"
When Xia Tian heard this, he glanced at him coldly, "Mr. Zou, are you threatening me?"
"No, no, I'm begging you." Zou Wenhuai was shocked by him, and quickly softened his tone and waved his hand with a silly smile.
To be honest, even if this matter is exposed, it will not be harmful to Xia Tian. Because he and Wen Bixia and Chen Yalun belong to you, it is neither forcing nor inducing and annihilation, so the law cannot cure him.
On the moral level, ordinary men who have multiple girlfriends at the same time will be called "scumbags" and will be scolded by everyone. But for a rich man like Xia Tian, that is "Fengliu", which everyone envies.
Neither the legal nor moral aspects can do anything to him, but once Xia Tian counterattacks, he is unable to resist and will be crushed by Xia Tian in a blink of an eye. Therefore, this matter is only suitable for pleading for mercy, and it is far from enough to threaten it.
"Hmph!" Xia Tian snorted coldly, knowing Zou Wenhuai's little thoughts, "Okay, I said I would consider it before, so I will definitely consider it. You don't need to urge me."
"Yes, Mr. Xia, am I in a hurry?" Zou Wenhuai said with awkward smile.
"This kind of thing is hard to come. It is not that easy to bring Hong Kong filmmakers to Hollywood. First of all, you have to have a suitable script, secondly, you have to have a reliable production, and finally you have to put some effort into publicity." Xia Tian glanced at him and said, "As long as there is a mistake, you can't succeed. You don't care about anything, you only know how to urge and urge to thrust!"
He also wanted to bring more Hong Kong filmmakers to the United States to develop, but this matter was absolutely impossible.
...
The United States is a very xenophobic place, especially racial discrimination is very serious. Before the 1970s, black people had to separate from white people even when they took a car or went to school. After years of struggle, black people gained the same power as white people. But this is just a superficial phenomenon. In fact, black people are still discriminated against in the United States.
Asians, especially Chinese, have a lower status in the United States, even worse than blacks. Because blacks have been fighting for their own rights since the 1950s. However, Chinese are not keen on politics and just keep making money in a low-key manner, so their political status has not been improved over the years.
For example, the United States introduced the "Chinese Exclusion Act" in 1882, but it was not until 2012 that it apologized to the Chinese, with a period of 130 years apart.
Chinese are discriminated against in the United States, and Chinese actors are also difficult to make a comeback in the United States. For example, Wang Keying, who once played in "Agents of SHIELD", revealed that he had to change his name to get a role, and using Chinese names would be automatically skipped.
Therefore, it is very difficult to successfully enter the US market and face considerable resistance. In fact, in the past life, although many mainland celebrities have made their faces in Hollywood, there are very few that can make a name for themselves. Together, I guess they can count it with one hand.
The reason why Chinese actors are difficult to enter Hollywood is not only because they are discriminated against, but also because they do not have good roles and good scripts. In Hollywood, the male and female protagonists are often set as white, black people can only play some important supporting roles, while Chinese people can only play some supporting roles, or even passers-by with only a few lines.
For example, the role of Big Sweet in "King Kong", Fan Bingbing in "X-Men: Reversal of the Future", Chen Guanxi in "The Rise of Batman: The Rise of the Dark Knight", etc. Such a small character is difficult to excel even if he has excellent acting skills, let alone becoming famous.
Therefore, if you want Chinese actors to gain a foothold in Hollywood, you must first gradually eliminate Americans' discrimination against Chinese, at least not dare to discriminate on the surface; the second is to create more high-quality scripts and scripts created with the image of Chinese.
In summer, he is now using media such as Columbia Pictures, Snow Media and Washington Daily News to gradually reverse the prejudice and discrimination of Americans against Chinese. In terms of scripts, he is also recruiting and cultivating excellent creative talents. However, if you want to achieve results in these two tasks, you can only rely on the water grinding of water through the stones. Slowly wait for it to take effect.
Speaking of which, last year, Cheng Long starred in "Die Hard", Wang Xiaoxian participated in "Fate Express", and Wang Jing directed "Home Imperial". All three movies were well received and popular, and they had already made a good start. In the future, as long as you are patient and steady, you can make a big splash. Don't act too rush to avoid causing a rebound.
So when Zou Wenhuai kept urging him, Xia Tian was also very impatient.
