Chapter 242: Air Raid Alert (4/150) Seeking Monthly Pass(1/4)
The guests and hosts were seated, and refreshments were served first. Master Ba then began to introduce the Yung Kee Restaurant.
"The owner of this restaurant is Gan Sui Fai, who is revered as 'Roast Goose Fai' by the catering industry. The roast goose here is called 'Flying Roast Goose'. Gan Sui Fai started his business as a food stall at the Hong Kong and Macau pier in 1936 and bought this place in 1964. In 2016, Fortune Magazine selected Yung Kee as one of the top 15 restaurants in the world."
"This is also known as the 'Rich Canteen'. Many senior officials of the British Hong Kong government, Mr. He, Mr. Bao and other rich people also come here to eat."
Of course, people like Chow Yun-fat and Fang Lung are also regular visitors here. It was Fang Lung who actually reserved the third floor today. After all, it was he who asked Yuan Baye to invite Sean.
"Is that the richest man on the second floor?" Sean suddenly said.
"Well, yes." Mr. Yuan Ba nodded. He also saw it when he came, "Mr. He is very approachable. Mr. He usually eats on the third floor and he didn't compete with us for a seat today."
Sean chuckled and said nothing more.
Whether he is approachable or diligent and frugal, in his opinion, he has not received the beatings from society.
After a few days, this guy will understand the meaning of pomp and circumstance.
After a while, the dishes arrived, and the sour ginger preserved egg was the first one.
Preserved eggs, a dark dish in the eyes of Westerners...
Yuan Baye gave Fang Long a wink, and Fang Long immediately began to introduce each dish.
"Everyone should speak in English. I'm tired of listening to your Mandarin..." Sean frowned and interrupted Fang Long, and said with a headache on his face: "However, you should really study Mandarin, you can't even speak Mandarin. Well, it will be difficult to gain a foothold internationally in the future."
"Mr. Sean, I don't understand this." Fang Long asked with a confused look on his face. Several others also looked at Sean, completely confused about the logical relationship here.
Sean looked around at a few people, and finally fell on Fang Long, "Two beautiful ladies aside, I know you want to develop in Hollywood, but you don't understand what kind of roles you can get. , has nothing to do with whether your acting skills are good or not."
Fang Long's eyes widened and he became even more confused.
"In the final analysis, we invest in making movies to make money, which is a business activity. Of course, it also contains political factors. The majority of white protagonists are white people because white people can provide enough box office. You can't let a group of white people walk into the cinema. To watch a group of black people perform, there’s no sense of immersion at all, you know what I mean.”
"So, if a yellow protagonist appears in a movie, there is only one reason: to attract Chinese audiences into the cinema and for the box office. But how many Chinese talents are there in North America?"
"If you want to achieve great development internationally, you can only wait until the north develops. By then, for the market in the north, you will naturally need Chinese to take the lead."
"Before this, you could only get roles like the second or third male lead. Movies are art, and art has no borders, but people do."
"clear!"
After Sean finished speaking, the third floor fell completely silent. Fang Long and others were in a very confused mood. This was not at the same level as they imagined. What about the movie without borders?
They could never imagine that one day their status in the international film industry would be determined by the development of the north.
But they had to admit that Sean's words were very high-level and explained the problem in essence.
After a while, Fang Long asked in a difficult tone: "Is there really no way out?"
Sean shrugged. He didn't have much interest now. He picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of the food. Hmm, not bad.
Let's wait, wait a few years, wait until Fansaurus' influence becomes higher.
It's one thing to like it, but it's another thing to make money.
At this time, Norris walked up, Sean looked up and said, "Done?"
"Yes, boss, don't worry, all the films have been physically destroyed." Norris pulled out a chair and sat down.
"There was just a shooting. Did the police arrest anyone?" Yuan Baye asked worriedly. He was very familiar with Norris.
During his stay in the United States, Sean didn't appear a few times. It was Norris who took care of Yuan Baye and the others.
"It's okay, the Hong Kong Island police can't control us. Naturally, people from the consulate will negotiate with the Hong Kong Island police on this matter." Norris said proudly: "Mr. Sean can always use the identity of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs when he is abroad.
, all accompanying persons will be granted diplomatic immunity.”
"It's just a few guns. Even if it kills people, it won't be under the jurisdiction of the Hong Kong Island police!"
This is what is said,
Fang Long and others looked at each other, and the American, or should I say, Sean's strength was clearly revealed.
Of course, Norris is just bragging. He can only say that in some small countries, it doesn't matter if you kill people.
If you try going north, you won’t even dare to bring a gun...
But after all, this is also Hong Kong Island, and some Hong Kong Islanders feel that their faces are disgraceful.
Mr. Yuan Baye quickly changed the subject, "Can't Mr. Sean take photos?"
"Of course." Norris said: "For security reasons, Mr.'s photos are not suitable to appear, or less likely to appear in any media. Without permission, they must be coded!"
"Otherwise, we will bankrupt him if we sue him!"
Seeing this, Fang Long glanced at Mr. Yuan Ba, who shrugged, "It's useless for you to look at me. I have no resources and no money."
He looked at Maggie Cheung and Michelle Yeoh again and winked.
Maggie Cheung leaned over, and the soft salesman climbed up to Sean's arm and gently pulled it. His big watery eyes looked at him, and he looked like he was about to cry, which made Sean's heart tremble a few times.
Although he knew it was staged, but...
Maggie Cheung is so pretty!
"Okay, okay, don't be so frustrated." Sean grabbed Maggie Cheung's little hand, patted it gently, and comforted him with a gentle look on his face: "If you do this, it will make me feel like a bad person."
Sean didn't look at Fang Long. There's no way a beauty with a big nose can be as good-looking.
"When I say this, I'm talking about the general environment and the overall situation, but when it comes to details, well, there's still a lot of room for maneuver."
Maggie Cheung twitched her hand but didn't pull it out. Sean didn't seem to feel it and just held on to it.
He wouldn't be polite if it was delivered to your door.
After pumping twice but not getting out, Maggie Cheung gave up. Her face was red and she looked so alluring.
The more Sean looked at it, the more tempting it became. He held it in his hand and played with it gently.
Sean's words immediately gave several people hope again, and they all looked over. Except for Michelle Yeoh next to them, no one noticed that Sean's hand under the table was holding Maggie Cheung's hand and playing with it.
"Bruce Lee is also in the United States and has created a world in the entire West!"
"Do you know what impression Chinese people give people in the international community?" Sean glanced at the two beauties. "Because of Bruce Lee, in the Western world, it is generally believed that every Chinese can 'kung fu'."
"Characteristics, come up with irreplaceable characteristics that are different from others, only then can you create a foothold for yourself."
"I can only say that Miss Michelle Yeoh, you are on the right track. If you keep your style of hitting girls, you will definitely be able to make a career in Hollywood."
When Michelle Yeoh was affirmed by Sean, a blush immediately appeared on her face, and her eyes looking at Sean became even hotter.
Although Sean looked at Michelle Yeoh and said this, Fang Long was still very happy.
When it comes to fighting scenes, everyone here is...
Ahem.
Seeing Sean saying this to Michelle Yeoh, Maggie Cheung immediately pulled Sean's hand a few times. You touched your hand, so you couldn't show any sign of it.
Sean turned back to look at Maggie Cheung, thought for a moment and then said: "Of course, Maggie, you have no problem here. There is a saying in Hollywood, coffee position."
In an instant, the relationship changed from Miss Zhang to Manyu.
"What is a celebrity status? A celebrity status can be said to be a status in the entertainment industry. It can also be said to be a kind of audience recognition and box office carrying capacity. However, there is another way of saying it in the industry."
"Norris, please explain this Hollywood rule to them."
Norris coughed lightly and said, "For example, a blonde girl."
As soon as these words came out, a strange look flashed in the eyes of Fang Long and others.
"Many movies require the image of a blonde girl who is beautiful enough and sexy enough. However, this role is actually enough for one person. When this type of role mainly focuses on one person, this is
'Ca position', or positioning."
"Even if there are many blond girls in Hollywood, in the end, only one person will be successful at the same time. When people think of blond girls, they will immediately think of a very specific image, and resources will not be dispersed, because only recognition can be achieved
Only when it is raised to a certain level can it bring enough box office influence."
"The most important thing about a movie is the box office."
"There are many subdivisions of these coffee positions, such as beauties, sexy actresses, sweethearts, and princesses. Some coffee positions can accommodate several people, while some can only accommodate one person."
"Of course, this kind of external image is actually deliberately created by various companies. As long as they are willing to pool resources and the actors themselves work hard, there is basically no problem."
With that said, Norris pointed at Sean and said, "Mr. Sean is enough to create a 'cafe position' tailor-made for Miss Zhang."
Hearing what Norris said, Maggie Cheung's face flashed with joy, and her face turned redder at the same time.
Fang Long was full of envy and wished he could become a woman...
"Theoretically, that's the case, but it also depends on luck. Some people are born to be stars, and they stand out as the brightest one among the crowd. In my eyes, Manyu, you are such a person."
"I also have an idea here. A drama with a big female protagonist will definitely open up a world for you, Manyu, in Hollywood."
When Sean said this, several people looked over and Maggie Cheung involuntarily moved closer.
It's not that I want to seduce Sean, I just want to hear it more clearly.
"The vast majority of women devote themselves to their families after marriage, but it is very difficult and there are many unspeakable sufferings. This is a movie about two, no, three women who dedicate everything to their families but...
The scene in which he rises up to resist after being abandoned by his family is full of tragedy."
"If it has a background, a label, a topic, and a targeted audience, it will definitely become a hit!"
