When Xia Yu said these words, his heart was inevitably filled with excitement. At this point, Xia Yu raised another point.
She asked Gu Zhao this.
"Does Director Gu stay in Hollywood just to win one or two awards? Just for his own honor?"
"Hasn't Director Gu ever thought about allowing Chinese films to truly enter the center of the global film and television entertainment industry?"
"Director Gu is already a world-famous top director, but why is he still unwilling to retire at fifty-eight? Do he still want to continue filming? Is it really just for his own fame and fortune?"
"I don't believe it."
Xia Yu looked straight at Gu Zhao without hesitating, "Let me brag. Director Gu, do you think that I, Xia Yu, am popular in China? Can I be considered as one of this generation, or even in this generation?"
Among Mesozoic actors, they are all top-notch, right?"
"Let me say something arrogant again. If even I, Xia Yu, can't make a splash in Hollywood, not even me and you, Director Gu, the team we formed can't change the current situation of the Chinese film and television industry in the global field.
——Who else can compete in the next thirty years? If you retire and there is no one to support you in Hollywood, will the Chinese film and television industry still have a chance to rise?"
"Director Zhuang is getting older and has to give up. You, Director Gu, are in your prime. Are you willing to do so?!"
When Xia Yu said the four words, 'I don't believe it,' he said them one by one. Every word struck Gu Zhao's heart. What he said after that was like a wake-up call.
, fiercely awakening his numb beliefs bit by bit.
He also looked at Xia Yu and was slightly silent. It had to be said that after Xia Yu said these words, he was really suppressed.
Is what Xia Yu said the current facts?
'yes……'
'Indeed, if even Xia Yu can't make a splash, if they join forces and have the help of several major capitals behind them, they can't change the current situation in the global film and television industry, led by Hollywood, then can China Film and Television still be saved in the future?'
'Can there be another Gu Zhao in the future? Another Xia Yu?'
'But he can only make small fuss in his own small circle? Or, he can only live in others' circles? Is he willing to do so?'
This question hit Gu Zhao's heart so hard that he couldn't breathe for a long time.
Xia Yu's words didn't stop, she said, "Yes, chick flicks don't seem to be that good. Love, love, love, love, love, love, love. Compared with "Black Moon Project", a hero-themed sci-fi epic blockbuster about saving mankind, it can't be compared to -
—But existence is reasonable!”
"And Director Zhuang thinks that science fiction blockbusters must be the last word? Romance films will no longer have a foothold?"
"After listening to Director Gu's words, I know, I understand, and I'm also very happy. Director Gu has high hopes for me - but I don't think too highly of myself. When I got to Hollywood, I was even ready to start as a newcomer.
Prepare."
"Why didn't I bite the bullet, pay a sum of money, and stick to the "Black Moon Project"? It's not that I didn't want to, it's that I did shoulder the height and mission I wanted to achieve, as well as the expectations of Director Zhuang and other relatives.
"
“At the same time, work hard to strengthen yourself!”
"Of course I can come, but what is the concept of a Hong Kong Film Queen and a Chinese Grand Slam and Venice Film Queen coming to Hollywood?"
"Yes, Senior Sister Chengyun came and gave up a lot of China's resources, but also wasted a few years, three years? Now it is a small explosion, but in terms of resources, has there really been an increase? No, right? Still
Or is it the second level or not even the second level?"
It's not that Xia Yu is condescending to Cheng Yun, she is simply stating a fact.
It's equivalent to asking, Cheng Yun has caused a wave of popularity around the world, but - you Gu Zhao, will Victoria Pictures arrange a major masterpiece specifically for Cheng Yun? It's arranged, top of the list
Most of them are small productions, right?
This is the result of the capital management of Song Ang and Xiangjiang. Otherwise, he might be reduced to a third- or fourth-tier actor.
But Cheng Yun's popularity is too weak. She just played the role of the saint of the ancient country and became popular. In other words, if it were Jia Shasha today, she would be popular too. But the box office of the entire "Black Moon Project 1", except for China, is not in any other range
It has nothing to do with her at all.
She still eats the same old Chinese food.
After Xia Yu said these words, for Gu Zhao, it broke the huge worry that he had been suppressing for a long time - and Xia Yu's ambition set off a storm in his heart. He looked at this talented person in disbelief.
Teenage girl.
"Do you know what you are talking about? What are you doing?"
Gu Zhao picked up a cup of tea. To be honest, he was so excited by Xia Yu's words that his hands could not help but tremble with excitement - Xia Yu was probably one of the very few Hua Xia who really had the same goal as him.
actor!
"I think, I know!"
Xia Yu smiled calmly, her eyes full of determination. She was not particularly excited because she said such "wild talk" to Gu Zhao. Her calm behavior at this age was indeed a sign of Gu Zhao's life.
See only.
Xia Yu's words were sonorous, and his momentum and magnanimity were extremely arrogant. "I think I need Director Gu's help. I want to propose a Hollywood that belongs to China and a Chinese entertainment empire that belongs to the world!"
"Young people, it is true that you have to be a little more crazy. When I was young, I was full of passion, but over the years, it has been completely worn away..."
Gu Zhao never thought that he would be able to deal with meetings with those capital bosses and film and television industry bosses indifferently. But after Xia Yu's call, his whole spirit was aroused.
He first asked, "Has anyone ever said that you are very suitable to teach about success?"
Then he smiled and asked, "I can understand that this is your invitation to me to form an alliance?"
At this time, Gu Zhao had calmed down from Xia Yu's shocking remarks.
But he quickly raised questions, "This chick flick called "Twilight" may be able to open up a new path for you, but you want to consider this, oh, a series of movies
, become popular? Maybe it can be popular for a while, but without follow-up resources and better books, your so-called "Entertainment Empire" is just a castle in the air!"
Xia Yu nodded and said, "That's true, but what if I can come up with more excellent books?"
"Why are you?" This was Gu Zhao's sneer.
It was at this time that Xia Yu came up with the second script "Devil's Letter" and the third script "The Day After Tomorrow".
"Devil's Letter" was adapted by Xia Yu based on the course, while "The Day After Tomorrow" is an L-level parallel world, an epic-level disaster blockbuster. According to the timeline, this movie was released ten years ago in the parallel time and space, but even now
, Xia Yu has watched a lot of disaster movies in this world, as well as those in parallel time and space, but "The Day After Tomorrow" is still the one that she finds very shocking!
And this disaster movie is definitely ranked in the top three in this world so far!
There are others that are more shocking, but if Gu Zhao is shown to the audience from the beginning, it will whet the appetite of the audience. It will not be so easy to create psychological shock and shock in the future.
Of course, she has made some changes in both "Twilight Series" and "The Day After Tomorrow". For example, the heroine of "Twilight Series", Xia Yu, was changed to a beautiful mixed-race Chinese and Chinese; and in "The Day After Tomorrow"
The same is true, it has been greatly changed.
Gu Zhao read it for more than two hours. After all, he was old and busy recently, and his face could not hide his fatigue. There were five scripts in front of his desk, namely "Twilight Series", but Xia Yu suddenly
The two new notebooks he took out made him slightly stunned!
Why did he say that? He was not mocking Xia Yu, but mocking the current film and television industry, which is "downturn", "lack of innovation" and "film and television winter", not just China, Hollywood, the entire global film and television industry, excellent books,
Less and less.
He wanted to express, "Don't talk about you, even Hollywood dare not say that it can achieve greater glory!"
It doesn't mean that Xia Yu is capable if she takes out a few books. The quality of the books, the filming, the box office, and the reputation are all unknown. But the fact that Xia Yu has taken it out is enough to show that she really is not.
Just kidding.
He opened his mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but unexpectedly, Xia Yu spread his hands and said, "There is no backup of this book. Before Director Gu becomes the bankrupt sister's partner, you will definitely not be allowed to take it away. You can only
Is it Director Gu Gu who is in our company and has a look?"
"Of course, these scripts are just a corner of the scripts in my hand. There are several others. During the next meeting, I think I should be able to let Director Gu take a look. Of course, I hope that next time, it will be
It’s not Director Gu, but Director Gu?”
Gu Zhao didn't know what was going on, but he was convinced with just a few words. He was no longer young.
'Maybe it's because of Xia Yu's prepared sincerity? And, Xia Yu's ambition is not just words, but actual preparations?' No matter what the result is, it's because of Xia Yu's frankness
, Sincerity, Gu Zhao also has to finish reading these two scripts.
"Originally, I was thinking of treating you, Xiaozhuang, and the people in your company to a nice meal, but now it seems that it's difficult?"
"Next time? But, Director Zhuang, do you plan to order takeout? Or, while you watch, I will go upstairs and cook you a dish?"
"Oh, I forgot. I watched a variety show you filmed two days ago and showed off your cooking skills. I was thinking about it at the time and was almost salivating. When you said that, I had to watch it today.
"
"Shao, I'm an old man now. The important thing is that your teacher and I are friends. If I let you, a junior, cook a dish, wouldn't it be considered relying on one's elders to show off one's abilities?"
Xia Yu smiled, "Of course not. It's a distinguished guest. A distinguished guest that no one else can invite. What's the point of cooking a dish?"
"Okay, then I'm determined to eat this meal!"
