Chapter 19 Big Brother Cheng Long's Visit

As time went by, the popularity of "Death is Coming" was just like the rapidly shrinking box office, and it soon stopped being mentioned frequently.

After all, this is Hollywood, the place with the most news in the world.

Under this trend, even if "Death is Coming" collects more than two million in the box office in its eighth week, pushing the cumulative box office of "Death is Coming" to the threshold of 200 million, not many people will care.

But not many people care about this, which does not mean that no one cares. Brother Cheng Long, who has a movie to be released recently, cares about the movie "The God of Death".

It's not because the eldest brother Cheng Long likes horror movies, but because the eldest brother Cheng Long finally sees a new Chinese face in Hollywood, and he is a Chinese with a well-established reputation.

He paid attention to "Death is Coming" because of Cao Yu's identity.

In Hollywood at this time, the eldest brother Cheng Long is doing pretty well. Although he is still at the level of a quasi-star, there is a faint tendency to break through from a quasi-star and become a superstar.

Among all the Chinese stars in Hollywood who can compare with Cheng Long, the only one is Kung Fu Emperor Lien Li. One of them is in his forties and the other in his thirties. They are both male stars in their heyday.

Apart from these two people, there are very few Chinese stars doing well in Hollywood nowadays.

Zang Ziyi, who landed in Hollywood last year with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and collaborated with her elder brother Cheng Long in "Rush Hour 2" this year, is not the second best.

However, Zang Ziyi's foundation in Hollywood is not stable, so Cheng Long helped her win over Zang Ziyi in "Rush Hour 2" and let her play a role in "Rush Hour 2".

Otherwise, Zang Ziyi would have gone to China long ago.

Now, a Chinese star suddenly appeared in March and became extremely popular. His eldest brother Cheng Long paid close attention to Cao Yu.

A while ago, Cheng Long was busy filming "Rush Hour 2" and had no time, but now he is free.

On the one hand, Cheng Long is in the mood to help Cao Yu, and on the other hand, "Rush Hour 2" is about to be released. The eldest brother Cheng Long watched Cao Yu, which was very popular some time ago. The crew of "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" took turns

To rub off on the heat of this little brother of mine.

So he was also prepared to ride on the popularity of this little brother he admired more and see if he could increase the exposure of "Rush Hour 2".



"Director, someone is here to visit Ban Cao! Do you want to let him go?"

[Spider-Man] A steward at the entrance of the crew ran over from a distance and asked the director who was sitting behind the monitor.

Because the sound was too loud, Cao Yu, who was resting on the side, also heard it, but the subsequent words were not heard clearly.

Cao Yu frowned, feeling confused.

Visit me, do I still know anyone in Hollywood?

Not to mention being in Hollywood, Cao Yu doesn’t know many people abroad. Most of them are classmates in London. This is a Hollywood production crew. Not everyone can come to visit the class, so those classmates can be excluded.

.

Cao Yu was very confused.

Just when Cao Yu was shedding doubts, director Sam Raimi learned the detailed situation from the venue manager, thought about it for a while, and walked towards Cao Yu.

"Jack Cheng is here to visit the class, do you want to see him?" Director Sam Raimi asked Cao Yu. After all, he was visiting Cao Yu's class by name, so he had to discuss everything with Cao Yu.

Cheng Long!!!

When Cao Yu heard this name, he was shocked at first, and then he was still shocked. The first reaction in his heart was that I don't even know Cheng Long, how could he come to visit me.

Then there was an uncontrollable excitement.

This is Cheng Long, and he is still the eldest brother Cheng Long in his peak period, not the grandfather Cheng Long who is 70 years old and 80 years old in later generations.

During this period, Cheng Long was already at the pinnacle of a quasi-superstar, and his fame had reached the point where he was a household name around the world. Even in the most remote African suburbs, people knew him.

He only has one film left to prove his fame. As long as he can produce a hit movie in the next few years, he will be able to step into the ranks of superstars.

Although Cao Yu had the memory of later generations and knew that Cheng Long had failed and would remain at the level of a quasi-superstar for the rest of his life, it did not prevent Cao Yu from admiring Cheng Long at this time.

At this time, Cheng Long was at the peak of his career as a star, with his graceful appearance and not so many bad movies. His reputation was at the peak of his popularity.

He is now the well-deserved number one in the genre of dramatic action kung fu films. His fame was achieved with real swords and guns, so Cao Yu really admires Cheng Long during this period.

So Cao Yu thought for a while, nodded and said.

"See!"

When director Sam Raimi heard Cao Yu's affirmative answer, he nodded and waved his hand to signal the stage manager who just ran over to bring Cheng Long in.

In fact, it is of great benefit to the crew to have quasi-superstars and superstars who have become household names around the world come to visit the crew. It can create a lot of topics and heat for the crew. These can make the crew spread more widely. It is a kind of

Potential publicity has many benefits for the movie after its release.

Not long after, Cao Yu saw a very familiar figure walking in the distance, with several people walking towards him. It was obviously his eldest brother Cheng Long.

"Hello Jack." This is director Sam Raimi greeting Cheng Long

"Hello Sam." This was the response from the eldest brother Cheng Long.

Cao Yu remained silent on the side. He had not seen Cheng Long and was completely unfamiliar with Cheng Long. Cao Yu was still thinking about what kind of opening remarks to make, but he did not expect that director Sam Raimi had already started a conversation.

But that's okay, Cao Yu took advantage of the situation and said: "Hello, brother Cheng Long, I am your fan, and I like your Plan A best."

When facing celebrities, this way of greeting celebrities by adding their names, fans, and works will never seem abrupt.

"Oh! I'm honored to have a fan of a Hollywood star like you." The eldest brother Cheng Long laughed.

Although he had heard this kind of words from countless people and countless times, he was still very happy to hear it from Cao Yu, a young man who was very successful in Hollywood.

Director Sam Raimi didn't spend much time here. He just posed a few times with Cheng Long and Cao Yu for people to take photos for the convenience of publicity and then left.

After all, he is the director of the movie "Spider-Man" and is very busy.

After director Sam Raimi left, the conversation between Cheng Long and Cao Yu changed from English to Chinese. On the one hand, it improved confidentiality, and on the other hand, the conversation became easier.

The eldest brother Cheng Long has a set of Chinese chat qualities - where are you from? When did you go abroad? How are you doing recently?
