2582 [Arranged]
After getting the summer funds, Peter Jackson left happily.
With the financial support of summer, he is confident that he will present the masterpiece "Lord of the Rings" perfectly on the big screen.
Before filming started, he had to rewrite the script. Because he had worried that the cost was too high and he would not be able to invest, he deleted many plots in the original work.
Now that the funds are abundant, he wants to add these plots again. This requires rewriting the script so that every movie is coordinated.
...
After Peter Jackson left, Xia Tian also brought Jerry Brookheimer to him and handed him the three scripts "Public Enemy of the State", "Los Angeles Secret" and "Air Prison".
"I require Liang Jiahui to star in "Public Enemy of the Country", I require Du Qifeng to direct "Los Angeles Secret", and Nicholas Cage, the male lead in "Air Prison". "Xia Tian said again, "But director, I hope Wu Yusen will take on the role."
"Public Enemy" originally wanted to star in Tom Cruise in his previous life, but Tom Gottie was filming "The Eye Opening Ring" with great director Kubrick, so the movie fell on Will Smith, who became famous at the time.
Will Smith's performance in the film is remarkable, but then again, Liang Jiahui's acting skills are also very good. It is also very feasible to play the unlucky lawyer who was framed by the FBI.
The movie "Public Enemy of the State" has a good story and a strong selling point. It has both commercial blockbuster scenes and artistic films. It can be said that it is a movie with a very good texture. As long as the actors do not hold back, the box office will be very guaranteed. Letting Liang Jiahui star in this movie will also help him continue to open up his name in Hollywood.
Before, Liang Jiahui has performed many times in Hollywood, including "The Love of Man and Ghost", "Jurassic Park 2", etc. He is the male lead. The hot sale of these two movies has given him a certain reputation and status in Hollywood.
But to be honest, due to the racial prejudice, although Liang Jiahui has two big-selling movies, his status is still slightly worse than that of white and black movie stars.
Like Bruce Willis, the movie starring him is not as box office as Liang Jiahui, but he is already one of the most popular male stars in Hollywood. The pay starts at least 8 million US dollars, while Liang Jiahui's pay is only one million US dollars, a few times the difference.
Because of this, Xia Tian wanted to hand over the movie to star in Liang Jiahui. When his movie earned hundreds of millions of dollars, he would see which film company dared to look down on him.
...
The movie "Los Angeles Secret" tells the story of the police circle in Los Angeles in the 1950s. Two bad policemen, one good policeman, were implicated by a seemingly ordinary robbery, and the bad guys were eventually brought to justice and justice was revealed.
In his previous life, the movie won nine Oscar nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Adapted Screenplay and other heavyweight awards. It can be seen that the script of this movie is indeed good.
Du Qifeng is also very good at making police and gangster films. His directed "The Detective", "Gun Fire", "Dark War", "Big Event", "The Dark Society", "Exile", "Blind Detective", "Drug War", etc. are all very classic police and gangster films, which are very attractive. He directed "The Secret of Luocheng" and believed that he could make a good film.
There are so few decent Chinese directors in Hollywood.
Those who make a name for themselves are Ang Lee and Wu Yusen. In addition, a few people can count with one hand in a summer. If the number of Chinese directors in Hollywood increases, it will be of great help to enhance the status of Chinese in Hollywood.
In her previous life, many outstanding Chinese directors emerged in Hollywood in the new century, such as Wan Ziren, who is good at making horror movies, Lin Yibin, who is good at making action movies, Huang Yiyu, who has directed the "Death is Coming" series, etc.
The rise of these Chinese directors in Hollywood, coupled with China's replacement of Fusang, becoming the world's second largest film market, Hollywood blockbusters have repeatedly achieved achievements in China that even the United States are unsatisfied. The combination of multiple factors has also improved the status of Chinese actors in Hollywood.
Like in 18, Hollywood was born "Crazy Richmond", a movie starring all Asian actors. This movie achieved a box office of $1.5 billion in the United States, making a big hit.
I believe that the success of this movie will make Hollywood pay more attention to Chinese actors. In the future, more and more movies starring Chinese will appear in Hollywood.
...
After listening to Xia Tian's instructions, Brookheimer nodded.
He has become accustomed to using Chinese actors and directors in summer, and is not too surprised. You should know that people like to use their own people.
When Hollywood was dominated by Italians, Italian actors were also particularly valued, such as Robert De Niro, Francis Coppola, Al Pacino, etc.
The record company opened by Black Man, the artists signed by Black Man are basically Black Man. Dr.Dre signed Eminham that year, but withstanded great pressure.
As a Chinese, it is very normal for Xia Tian to promote Chinese actors. And judging from his past achievements, the directors of these Chinese actors have performed very well.
Like Liang Jiahui, Wang Qixian, Cheng Long, Hong Jingbao, Wu Yusen, Xu Ke, etc., they all showed very outstanding talents, and their box office results were also very impressive.
Like the two films "Jurassic Park" starring Wang Qixian, they won more than one billion US dollars in box office worldwide, which is better than any Hollywood actress.
The action film starring Cheng Long also won over 100 million US dollars in box office, and its momentum is not inferior to action superstars like Schwarzenegger, Stallone, and Bruce Willis.
Therefore, not only does Brookheimer not discriminate against Chinese actors, but even other film companies have noticed the value of Chinese actors and directors.
Not only are they talented, but their pay is also very low. Even the first-tier Hong Kong stars have only a few hundred thousand dollars in their pay. In comparison, the first-tier Hollywood movie stars have a pay of about 20 million dollars, which is a few dozen times the difference.
However, the box office appeal of Chinese movie stars is good, especially in Chinese areas in East Asia, such as Wang Xiaoxian, Cheng Long, Xu Ke, Lin Qingxia, Gong Li, Zhou Xingchi, etc., there are a large number of fans in the local area and can contribute very good box office.
Therefore, since the summer began to introduce Chinese movie stars to Hollywood in the late 1980s, the status of Chinese movie stars in Hollywood has been increasing year by year. At present, although it is not as good as white and black movie stars, it is also considered the third force. At least it has developed much better than Indian movie stars.
