At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 270 Tentative (14)

Jackie Chan, of course, is a superstar.

He is in Hollywood, so he can’t be summed up by his celebrity, because he didn’t break into Hollywood by relying on English films, unlike Li Lian, Li Lian was the villain of "Sky Cannon 4" and entered Hollywood...

"Red Fan District" is a Hong Kong film, but it opened simultaneously in 1794 theaters in North America, which is unprecedented!

As a result, the box office of the film was as high as 986 million US dollars in the first week, the box office champion of the week, and the final box office was 3239 million US dollars, breaking the record of non-Hollywood film sales in North America.

At that time, the old and American audiences clapped their hands in the cinema for several minutes after watching it, shouting "Amazing" and "Unbelievable" one after another, knocking on Jackie Chan's Hollywood door.

Next, New Line continued to distribute Jackie Chan's Hong Kong films, but at the same time, another Hollywood distributor, Miramax, also had Jackie Chan's idea in mind.

But Jackie Chan's new films such as "A Simple Mission" and "A Good Man" have been handed over to New Line for distribution. What should they do?
Just buy Hong Kong films before Jackie Chan, including "Police Story 3 Super Cop", "Drunken Master 2", "Double Dragon", "Flying Eagle Project", etc., which were released in North America.

Just imagine, a Chinese star can get Hollywood to buy his old Hong Kong films to be released in North America. How popular is Jackie Chan, who has not filmed Rush Hour, already in Hollywood?
Moreover, several Hong Kong films, except for "Double Dragon", have all exceeded tens of millions of dollars at the North American box office.

This appeal is top-notch!

'Rush Hour' duo tops global charts...

There is no doubt that Jackie Chan is in fact the most famous Chinese in the world!

Of course, the Jackie Chan in Shen Xudong's memory is already old...

No longer sought after!
In fact, it's quite normal, no one can stand still and keep at the top.

Everyone has their own golden age, and there will naturally be troughs. This is a natural rule, and it is an iron law of the film and television industry.

But he's pretty good, at least he won't tell others that he is an international movie star. In contrast, Mr. Six puts a lot of emphasis on his status as an international movie star...

Therefore, Shen Xudong's attitude towards Jackie Chan... Respect is affirmative, but it is not licking...

Just think of him as an actor with the right to speak.

He popularized the history of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" with him: "After the Anshi Rebellion, Li Siye, the deputy envoy of Anxi Jiedu, led [-] troops to march, Li Qiyun, the Sima of the Anxi Marching Army, led [-] troops, and Ma Phosphate led [-] elite soldiers to rush back to the mainland to fight Betrayed, and never came back.”

"Taking advantage of the period when the Tang Dynasty's Hexi and Longyou main forces were also suppressing the rebellion in the interior, the Tubo army completely captured the Hexi Corridor. Since then, the Tang Dynasty has cut off the connection between the interior of the Tang Dynasty and the Western Regions."

"As a result, it was miserable. The famous poet Yuan Zhen of the Tang Dynasty wrote in his poem "The Twelve Poems of the Yuefu with the New Title of Li Xiaoshu New Title: Furong People" that "... Pingming horses walk around, ancient tombs and deep forests are full of trees. Young and strong The head was shaved for captives, and the old man stayed in Zuduo. The black kites were full of wild corpses, and the pavilions became gray walls. It means that in the middle of the night, the Tubo army invaded the city, and the young prisoners were shaved off and taken away. Slaves; old people cut off their feet and let them stay. The city is full of corpses, and the city's buildings and pavilions are reduced to dust..."

"So miserable?"

"Wars were normal in ancient times, building capitals and massacring cities..."

"I know about the massacre, but what is Zhujing Temple?"

"Jing means Gaoqiu; Guan means Que type. The ancients killed thieves, and when they won the battle, they must build Jing Guan as a place to hide the corpses. There were ancient battlefields...meaning that the corpses or heads of the defeated were collected. Together, neatly arranged, reinforced with soil, cast into a human wall..."

Jackie Chan listened very seriously, he especially respects educated people!

Zhang Guoli happily walked over: "What are you talking about?"

Jackie Chan answered seriously: "Listen to the lectures of cultural people!"

"No, brother is interested in the history of "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", so I just said it..."

"Brother is ready to play?"

Jackie Chan nodded: "Well... I like this Lu Shishi, and I am planning to find Sammo Hung to play Guo Yuanzheng!"

Feng Xiaogang answered immediately: "Then... the box office starts at least [-] million! It is no problem to surpass "Hero"!"

Han Shanping also came over: "What surpasses "Heroes"?"

"Han Dong...Brother Jackie Chan said that he will work with Mr. Sammo Hung on "Glory of the Tang Dynasty"!"

"...That's good." Han Shanping nodded, looked at Jackie Chan, and added: "It's best to find some mainland actors..."

"That must be a co-production!"

Han Shanping asked again: "By the way, director, who are you going to find?"

Tang Jili said, "Does Director Han have any recommendations?"

"Recently Wu Yusen returned to China to develop..."

"Don't!" Shen Xudong interjected directly...

"what happened?"

A group of people looked at him, and Shen Xudong explained: "He is good at making gangster movies, but his control over grand scenes has always been his weakness. "Wind Talker" has already demonstrated this...The most important thing in "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" is grand scenes ...I don't think he can shoot it..."

Han Shanping frowned: "...Then who do you think is suitable?"

"Teacher Sammo Hung is good, and his "One Swordsman" is very good!"

……

"One Knife Falls in the City"...

There are too many golden sentences: People who have always worried about the country are all people who are sad through the ages;
In this age when ambition is difficult to achieve and everything is difficult to achieve, it has been hard work to stand still;

If you can't drink enough wine in your glass, you can't kill all your enemies!
As long as you are like-minded, even if the road is full of wind and frost, there will be a sunny day; the mountains are high and the road is far away, why not fly together; the wind and rain are on the same road, even if the end of the world is only a few feet away...

Jackie Chan trusted his senior brother very much, nodded: "I sent him the script and invited him to direct..."

"Is the filming of "Legend of Shocking Heaven" finished?"

"It's still a little bit... It should be completed around December!"

Han Shanping nodded: "Success, then "Glory of the Tang Dynasty" will be the key project of China Film Group next year!"

Jackie nods...

Regarding investment, it is estimated that we have to talk a lot...

After all, Jackie Chan's movie!

But Shen Xudong is not interested in knowing these, anyway, he is not required to pay.

Jackie Chan was surrounded by the crowd and left - the eldest brother really likes to be lively!

Han Shanping...actually, he would prefer Wu Yusen to direct, blockbuster, big director + big star, although Sammo Hung has a bit of reputation, but compared with Wu Yusen, it is still inferior!
But Shen Xudong proposed, and Jackie Chan also supported it...

forget about it.

But he still asked Shen Xudong: "Do you think Wu Yusen is not good?"

"...Of course not, I actually feel that Hong Kong's creative method of thinking and thinking (flying paper boy) can't adapt to works that need to build a sophisticated worldview..."

"Precise world view?"

"Let's talk about "Glory of the Tang Dynasty", the characters' lines and behavior habits can't surpass that era...the directors in Hong Kong don't care about this at all..."

"That's true!" Han Shanping nodded: "They really don't have much culture!"

Shen Xudong took the initiative to change the topic: "By the way, Director Han, I have made an appointment with the people from Orange Sky to create a movie on the theme of "Three Kingdoms". What do you think?"

""Three Kingdoms"?" Han Shanping nodded: ""Three Kingdoms" is a hot topic, and it is well-known all over Asia...What are you going to write?"

"I'm thinking of either writing characters, such as Zhao Zilong, or writing classic battles, such as Chibi and Guandu...Do you have an opinion?"

"Zhao Zilong? Why Zhao Zilong? Cao Cao is the hot guy, right?"
