Although he is in Hong Kong, Cheng Long has long been well known for Stephen Spielberg's name. He knows that he is a great director who has filmed masterpieces such as "The Great White Jaws", "et", "The Legend of the Lost Ark", and "The Third Category of Contact", and is well-known worldwide. Even his works such as "The Dragon Brothers and Tiger Brothers" and "The Flying Eagle Project" are imitated by other people's masterpiece "The Legend of the Lost Ark".

So Cheng Long is really honored to be able to work with this great director.

"Brother Long, don't be so excited. This time you are just a guest star in director Spielberg's work." Xia Tian said with a smile. He was going to arrange for Cheng Long to play the scientist in the laboratory in "Jurassic Park".

Although that character only has a few minutes of footage, it is actually a very good preparation. If you have the chance in the future, you can help him become the protagonist and make another appearance in the sequel.

Just like the "Fake God" series that Jim Carrey and Steve Carrell collaborated on. In the first part, Steve Carrell was just a small supporting role, and by the second part he became the protagonist of the movie.

In addition, like the "Hangover" series, Mr. Zhou, played by Zheng Ken, has only a few minutes in the first part. By the second part, the part can almost be compared with the protagonists.

When Cheng Long heard that he was just a guest appearance, his face suddenly collapsed and said with disappointment and displeasure, "A Tian, ​​you asked me to come from all over the place to make me a guest appearance?"

This time he rushed over in a hurry, thinking that there was a blockbuster movie for him to play in summer, but in the end he only played a cameo role. This was really hard for him to accept.

"Of course not. I'm so unfaithful." Seeing this, Xia Tian knew that Cheng Long had misunderstood, so he waved his hand. "This time I have two movies to be filmed, one is a kung fu comedy starring you, and the other is a science fiction film directed by Spielberg. I know that the movie he directed will definitely be popular, so I want you to play a guest role from it. If you don't agree, I'll change someone else."

"Don't, I'm happy!" Cheng Long waved his hand quickly when he heard this.

Although being able to work with director Spielberg is just a guest role, it is a rare opportunity, and a fool is not happy.

Besides, the most important thing in the entertainment industry is connections. If you can take the opportunity to make friends with Spielberg, a world-class director, wouldn’t you have the opportunity to cooperate in depth in the future?

"That's it." Xia Tian smiled.

...

"By the way, Ah Tian, ​​what is the story of my movie?" Cheng Long asked curiously again.

Xia Tian was about to explain to him, when the door opened, Spielberg walked in.

Seeing this, Xia Tian quickly got up to greet him, "Hello, Mr. Spielberg, I have been waiting for you for a long time! Come and introduce to you, this is my Hong Kong friend, Cheng Long, and Jie Jicheng!"

"Jie Ji, this is the famous world-class director, Mr. Stephen Spielberg." Xia Tian introduced to Cheng Long with a smile.

Cheng Long had already stood up. After Xia Tian finished introducing the article, he hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and grabbed Spielberg's hand, and then said in a less standard English, "Mr. Spielberg, it's a great honor to know you!"

Spielberg also heard of Cheng Long, because "Die Hard" starring him two years ago set a box office record for movies starring people of color in the United States, which is really not simple.

The top few American movies in the previous year were generally won by movies starring whites. It was not until the early 1980s that black actors represented by Eddie Murphy began to take the lead and earned a high box office of over 100 million US dollars.

However, Eddie Murphy is an American after all, and enjoys a high influence among black people. Cheng Long is a Hong Konger and has almost no influence in the United States before. Therefore, it is even more difficult for him to achieve such results and deserve respect. Moreover, Cheng Long's tough guy style, who is not afraid of death, is quite appreciated by him.

"Mr. Cheng, I'm also honored to know you!" Spielberg also smiled.

...

"Okay, let's sit first." Xia Tian immediately greeted, and handed the two scripts to Cheng Long and Spielberg respectively. "Mr. Spielberg, this is the script I wrote for you. See if you are satisfied or not, are there any areas that need to be modified? Brother Long, this is your story summary. If you think it's good, I'll go back and expand it."

After Spielberg and Cheng Long took over the script, they both started to read it with great enthusiasm.

Lang Meyer was also with him, watching with curiosity. He hadn't read the two scripts written by Xia Tian yet. To be honest, he was really puzzled.

Cheng Long quickly finished reading the story summary of "Red Fan District", because it was only more than two thousand words, and it only took three pages, so it didn't take long.

However, the story is short, but Cheng Long feels great.

First, the story itself is very exciting, with the design of starting, ending and turning, and turning very smoothly, so that people can watch it in one breath, without obvious unreasonableness. He has also filmed several Hollywood movies before, and the story arrangement really makes him unable to complain.

The reason for this is that Hollywood screenwriters lack understanding of Chinese culture, so they can only make up for it, so the script they wrote has many flaws. However, Xia Tian’s script logic is very smooth, without any of the above problems, which makes Cheng Long extremely satisfied after reading it.

Second, the character setting made Cheng Long very satisfied. In the last movie he filmed "Die Hard", his identity was set as a detective in the United States Chinatown. Although the character setting is OK, Cheng Long still felt a little awkward. He still hoped to be able to restore himself to a Hong Konger. After all, he had spent thirty years and was very emotional. This time, Xia Tian finally arranged for him to be a Hong Konger, which made him feel really close.

Third, the theme of this movie is very good. "Die Hard" has no theme, it is just a popular commercial action movie. However, "Red Fan District" can express the differences and exchanges between Eastern and Western cultures, which is really good.

"A Tian, ​​your story is really well written." Cheng Long said with a smile.

"Brother Long, are you satisfied with this story?" Xia Tian asked with a smile when he saw him say this.

"Satisfied, satisfied, of course satisfied." Cheng Long nodded, "This story is simply tailor-made for me, it would be strange if I was not satisfied."

"Well, if you really think it's good, then I'll expand it." Xia Tian smiled.

"Okay, I can't wait." Cheng Long nodded and said, "By the way, who do you plan to play the heroine?"
