When it comes to singing, there are too many stars in the West. There are superstars like Michael Jackson and Madonna, as well as idol overlords like "The Boy God Group". There are also countless artists waiting to become famous. These people are all very good.
Hollywood's star-making ability is much better than that of Hong Kong Island. Even Shengtang Company has to use European and American stars. If it uses Chinese, I'm afraid it will sell far fewer records.
Therefore, Mr. Shao has never thought about letting Shengtang Company help his stars enter Hollywood. Of course, if a movie is made, some people can play a small role, which is no problem.
But kung fu movies are different. Firstly, this kind of movie is only available in China. Secondly, there was a brother Xiao Long before, and he has been recognized internationally. It is only because of the unexpected death of brother Xiao Long that the influence of kung fu movies in Hollywood has stopped.
There was silence, but the foundation was still there, as long as one more leading figure appeared.
Mr. Shao felt that this "Brother Long" had the ability to become a leader.
Hong Kong Island's entertainment industry is developed and is one of the best in Southeast Asia, but in the eyes of Hollywood it is not even second-rate. On the one hand, it is cultural differences, but the key is the discrimination of Westerners against Asians.
This kind of discrimination is deep-rooted, and even though Shengtang Company has become stronger in recent years, it has not changed much.
But Shengtang Company is still of great significance to Chinese entertainment. In the past, it was very difficult for Chinese people to enter Hollywood. People looked down on you. Even if you entered Hollywood, you would play some very ugly roles. They were completely imaginary by Westerners with Oriental faces. There was no such thing.
No personality at all.
Now Chinese people can enter Hollywood through Shengtang Company, and the roles are completely normal. There is no role that vilifies Chinese people in Shengtang. This is an important manifestation of the improvement of the status of Chinese people in Hollywood.
Shengtang Company has the right to speak in Hollywood. This right to speak is very important to the Chinese. It can be said that it has never happened before. Many artists hope to use Shengtang Company's right to speak in Hollywood to show their talents.
With your own abilities, even playing a small role is fine.
For example, Zhou Xingxing's "Shaolin Soccer" will also be released overseas. Liu Lang doesn't care about the box office. This kind of movie is very popular in the Chinese world, but European and American people don't catch a cold, but at least it can be considered a let-down.
The Chinese have shown themselves on the world stage.
Zhou Xingxing's nonsensical movies are only suitable for Chinese people to watch, but "Long Ge"'s movies are different. Foreigners also like his comedy action movies.
In his previous life, "Brother Long" entered Hollywood in 1995 with the movie "Red Zone", which earned more than 30 million US dollars in box office in North America. He then entered Hollywood and later filmed the "Knives Out" series of movies.
Finally, he gained his own position in Hollywood and won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award. This honor can be called the pinnacle of Chinese entertainment.
In fact, "Brother Long" had tried to enter Hollywood as early as the early 1980s, but people looked down upon you. He would often call you from overseas and ask you to fly over for an interview. As a result, there was no news in more than ten minutes. "Brother Long"
"I ignored it in a fit of anger.
Now Shengtang Company gave "Brother Long" a chance, and he decided to seize this opportunity.
"Old sir, I've seen this "Brother Long" movie. It's very good. I think his style can definitely enter Hollywood!"
Liu Lang agreed with the old gentleman's proposal.
"Oh? Have you seen his movies?"
"Of course I have seen it. "Eagle Project" is very good. I can tailor a script for him. Shengtang Company and Shaw Brothers Group will cooperate in filming it together. What do you think, sir?"
Liu Lang's script is of course "Red Zone". Normally the movie would have been filmed in 1995, and the filming location would be in the United States, but this time it was obviously made earlier. As for the script being too simple, Liu Lang used
It can be written in an hour.
Mr. Shao was overjoyed and said so himself. As a result, Liu Lang immediately agreed and promised to write the script himself. You must know that the scripts written by Liu Lang are all excellent. After being released in the United States, they have never been less than 200 million US dollars. With the writing
A guarantee that "Brother Long" will surely win.
"Okay, after we finish, I'll call the young man over and let's discuss cooperation!"
After the performance, Mr. Liu Lang and Mr. Shao both came on stage. These people were performing for Liu Lang, so of course he wanted to express his gratitude. To be honest, Liu Lang felt that Mr. Shao was a bit "overdone" and messed up this large group of people.
Come and give yourself a special performance. This is too "luxury". I am afraid that even the last governor of Hong Kong may not be able to find so many first-line stars.
"I'm really grateful to you all, and I'm also grateful to Mr. Shao for arranging this wonderful program for me. I really didn't expect so many celebrities to appear. Thank you everyone!"
All the stars applauded and they felt honored to be able to perform!
Liu Lang continued.
"We are all Chinese, and Hong Kong Island will return to the embrace of the motherland in five years. By then we will be a family. Hong Kong Island's entertainment is a leader in the entire Asia. I think it is necessary to show Hollywood and the world
Showing the charm of our Chinese entertainment, next, Shengtang Gong
The company will cooperate with Shaw Brothers Group and all Hong Kong entertainment companies. If there are good scripts and actors, we will jointly shoot movies. I believe that our Chinese entertainment industry will be recognized by Hollywood. This is also my wish, and I believe it will be
This is everyone’s wish!”
"Okay, Mr. Liu said it well!"
The stars applauded in unison.
Finally, Liu Lang, Mr. Shao Lao, Ye Jinsheng, and the middle management and celebrity gate of Shengtang Company in Hong Kong took a group photo, and this wonderful performance was finally over.
Liu Lang, the old man and Ye Jinsheng went out, followed by "Brother Long". Mr. Shao had just told him that Liu Lang was going to write the script himself. "Brother Long" was so happy that he almost turned over
.
Just as Liu Lang and others were walking out of the door, three young men suddenly rushed over and took photos of several people with their cameras. The flash of the flash made Mr. Shao dizzy.
One person went even further and rushed to Liu Lang all afternoon.
"Are you Jimmy Liu? Please tell me the purpose of your visit to Hong Kong Island this time...!"
Sun Huke was standing behind Liu Lang. Before anyone else could react, he had already moved. He took a step forward and was in front of Liu Lang. At this moment, the reporter was only two meters away from Liu Lang.
"stand up!"
Sun Hu stretched out his hand and pressed it on the opponent's chest. The opponent ran over very quickly, but Sun Hu's arm strength was amazing, and he blocked him with one arm like an iron rod.
The other party didn't expect that someone would block him, and the arm was too strong, so he felt like he had hit the wall. His body was also thin, and he sat on the ground.
