Rebirth In Hollywood

"Tiger, is that here?"

After getting off the battery car in the studio, Yuan Heping and a martial artist, led by their apprentice Tiger Chen, walked into the huge studio.

This place has been set up to look like a martial arts gym. Although in Yuan Heping's opinion, it is a bit nondescript, but it is not easy to think that the other party is just a group of ghosts.

Tiger Chen is different. He has been in the United States for many years. He occasionally deals with Hollywood production crews. He is more familiar with this place. Under the introduction of him and an agent, he works with the main crew including two directors. Members, after a few chats, it can be regarded as acquaintance.

Yuan Heping observed everything carefully, and the crew treated them very kindly and also very politely.

Since several main actors have not yet arrived, everyone sat on the side clearly and chatted about their own topics. Yuan Heping looked at this huge studio and couldn't help thinking of the invitation he accepted this time.

A few months ago, people from the Hong Kong branch of Paramount Pictures, with a few staff members who claimed to be Jenkins Pictures, came to the door and sent him an invitation, hoping that he could become the vice president of the film. Director and Action Director.

In fact, when he saw the official invitation signed by Ryan Jenkins, he was immediately tempted, especially after hearing that the movie was a large-scale production with a total investment of more than 300 million US dollars.

Even if this is a trilogy, the average amount of money per film is 100 million US dollars. Such an investment is an astronomical amount for a Hong Kong film that is small and noisy.

Hollywood is the center of the world's film industry. How many filmmakers in Hong Kong don't want to go there? Jack Chen and Bai Ge Wu also established their status in the world film industry only after they achieved success there.

Not to mention. As a veteran filmmaker, he couldn't see that Hong Kong movies were rapidly declining, and the collapse was only a matter of a few years.

The chain reaction brought by the "Jurassic Park" that year was huge, after the release of this year's "Titanic". The audience in Hong Kong completely understands what a real luxury giant is, and the local movies are sad.

In fact, Yuan Heping understands that this is a very normal phenomenon. It is very difficult for Hong Kong to invest more than 10 million yuan. How can a film produced in a few weeks be shoddy to fight against Hollywood's super giant?

However, Hong Kong movies also have their own advantages, especially action scenes, compared to martial arts instructors here. The Hollywood action directors are just kindergarten-level.

After a brief consideration, Yuan Heping agreed to the invitation of the other party,

Originally, he wanted the lion to open his mouth and ask for a huge reward. Later, he inquired about the other party's situation through Jack Chen, and changed the original price of 2 million US dollars to 1 million US dollars.

Even so, in subsequent negotiations, the other party compressed the price to $500,000.

Suddenly. There was a sound of greeting at the entrance of the studio. Seeing the young man walking in the front, Yuan Heping's eyes jumped. The other party was so famous that even people like him who didn't watch Hollywood movies very much knew him.

Frankly speaking, Hong Kong movies are in the current predicament, and the other party is one of the culprits. After all, "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic" are both from his planning and investment, to some extent. It was these two films that changed the market and status of Hong Kong films in the Far East.

certainly. This can only be thought about, Yuan Heping still remembers. What Jack Chen said when he heard that Ryan Jenkins was the one who invited him.

Ryan Jenkins is not just a Hollywood superstar, nor is it just the biggest shareholder in Jenkins Pictures. He has an extraordinary position in Hollywood, not only on par with the giants of several major Hollywood film companies, but also has a net worth of more than two billion US dollars, and the movies he leads are more guaranteed to sell well.

If he can join his film project, he can definitely enter Hollywood as soon as possible, and even gain an extraordinary status. The white pigeon Wu who became a big hit after "Face Change" is the best proof.

After Yuan Heping came here, he also asked someone to check the relevant information. After seeing the well-known movies and the huge box office figures behind him, he completely understood why Jack? Chen talked about white pigeons? Wu Shi, Envy in his voice.

Being able to stay here for development and earn dollars from foreigners is much better than living in that small place in Hong Kong! This is Yuan Heping's most direct idea.

It's a pity that he didn't know that the young man who was approaching was completely different from his thoughts.

"Hello, Mr. Yuan."

Looking at the guy with the fleshy face, Ryan shook his outstretched hand and said casually, "I heard that Mr. Yuan is a leader in the Hong Kong film industry."

The other party replied a few words in sloppy English, but Ryan didn't care, but was attracted by a guy next to him.

Isn't this the good friend of Keanu Reeves in his previous life?

"Hi, Tiger."

"Hello, Mr. Jenkins." Tiger Chen was obviously a little surprised. He didn't expect this famous Hollywood figure to know him. "I didn't expect..."

"I didn't think I knew you?" Ryan laughed. "I heard about you a long time ago. You won the National Karate Championship, right?"

Since it was the first time he appeared on the set, Ryan greeted the main cast and crew briefly. Most of them were acquaintances, but the director and siblings were relatively unfamiliar.

Ah... no, one of them is still Raddy Wachowski, not Lana Wachowski yet.

"Actually, Ryan, at the end of the 1980s, our brothers had some similar thoughts, just some very simple ones. After the thoughts gradually matured, we realized that your short novels are far better than ours. The idea is creative.”

After the exchange between the two sides, Andy Wachowski was obviously a little emotional while sitting on the chair beside him.

"So, I asked you and La... Raddy to direct this movie, it's absolutely right." Ryan said indifferently.

Ryan not only invited the original director, in addition to Nicole, even several main actors have followed the original team, Keanu? Reeves, Lawrence? Fishburne, Hugo? Weaving and so on.

In the temporarily renovated training ground, they are wearing pure white training uniforms, accepting the ravages of those martial artists. It is good for actors who have dance or movement skills, and those who don't can only enjoy the torment.

You know, Ryan opened a three-month training period for the movie.

In addition, he has already contacted major manufacturers of mobile phones, sunglasses, windbreakers, and computers. If the operation is good, the embedded advertising revenue of this movie can even recover about half of the cost.

This is not the predicament when he was filming in his previous life. The upsurge of "Titanic" has not yet subsided, and his golden signboard is now extremely loud.

After exchanging some movie opinions with the Wachowski brothers, Ryan walked to the practice ground, holding his chest in one hand and his chin in the other, admiring the tragic state of several actors.

Nicole is slightly better. After all, she has considerable dance skills, and some movements are not very difficult. Ryan has a deep understanding of this aspect. Sometimes the two are too excited, and Nicole will use some super difficult movements.

Nicole, who was pressing her leg, suddenly looked over and glared at him covertly.

Compared to Nicole Kidman, Keanu Keeves and Hugo Weaving, who have a lot of action scenes in the film, can only be described as sad. , looks really appalling.

Yuan Heping has always stood aside and has no intention of ending. The main job is basically a tiger? Chen is in charge. Sometimes, he will call his apprentice aside and give some instructions in Cantonese.

Although it wasn't intentional, Ryan still keenly captured some of the words, perhaps because he didn't expect that there are still people here who can understand the local dialect of Chinese, and the other party's voice is not too low.

Hearing Yuan Heping's frequent mention of 'keep some points', Ryan could only shake his head. It's not wrong to leave the housekeeping skills, but their ideas are a bit naive. This is Hollywood, which is best at absorbing and learning other cultures. The world movie center of strengths.

The fanaticism of the filmmakers here and their reliance on technology are absolutely beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

According to the general practice, Hollywood action directors will not only carefully observe the movements of these martial artists during the filming of the film, but also use the camera to record them, and analyze them frame by frame when they go back. They don't even need to learn anything advanced The things that are analyzed, those skins, are enough to deal with Hollywood-style action movies.

Besides, will kung fu movies become mainstream in Hollywood? That's just a dream, it's only going to be popular for a few years at most.

When Hollywood's action guides grow up and completely turn kung fu-style movements into a part of the Hollywood assembly line, these teams from Hong Kong can only go home.

The reason is simple, there is exclusivity everywhere, and Hollywood's assembly line of action instructions will cost less.

In fact, when these people set foot on this land, no matter what they do, the future is already doomed. The only difference is how many US dollars they can earn from here.

After all, in the next few years, Chinese Kung Fu will still have great market value.

"Hey, Keanu, that scream of yours is probably more than 200 decibels!"

Going to the lounge area, Ryan laughed at Keanu Reeves, who frowned, "Ryan, I regret agreeing to you in this movie now."

"Then are you going to break the contract?" Ryan sat next to Nicole, "Are you ready to break the contract?"

Keanu? Reeves can only wave vigorously in protest.

"I regret it now, Ryan," Nicole said suddenly and softly.

"why?"

"Not only will I dye my hair black, but I will also cut it short." Nicole stroked her long blonde hair, very reluctant. ()
