No matter how much domestic or Hong Kong filmmakers admire European film festivals and art films, in their hearts, Hollywood is always the most powerful film base in the world.
The real power is to be able to shoot movies wherever you can, and until now, no domestic director has really set foot on that land, even Chen Kaige, who is known as the outstanding talent of the fifth generation of directors in China, is now
It’s just a matter of where to study.
But now Wu Jianye is taking Zhao Fei to Hollywood for filming, so Zhao Fei is naturally extremely excited!
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "We will rest for a day in Xiangjiang, and we will fly directly to Los Angeles the day after tomorrow!"
Zhao Fei said anxiously: "Why are you resting? Let's just fly there!"
Wu Jianye said: "What's the rush? It's impossible to turn it on right away when we get there. There's still a lot of work to prepare for!"
Zhao Fei nodded: "That doesn't matter. By the way, is Kaige Clicquot in Hollywood?"
"Well, he still has half a year to return to China!" Wu Jianye said.
"That's great. When you went to Berlin before, I didn't catch up with you. This time, you have to sit down and have a good time!"
The two chatted, and Wu Jianye sent Zhao Fei to the hotel. The reason why he wanted to stay in Xiangjiang for another day was naturally to accompany Gong Yin and Wu Qichen.
Although Gong Yin had met with Zhu Xian, Zhou Huimin and others before because of matters related to several major newspaper groups, which could be regarded as eradicating some barriers, but because he was busy promoting "The Legend of the White Snake" and producing "The Last of Us" for Zhou Huimin,
"Love" album, the time spent with Gong Yin during this period has indeed been somewhat lacking.
When Wu Jian came to Repulse Bay at night, he saw Gong Yin wearing a swimsuit, and Wu Qichen also wore a small swimsuit and was practicing swimming.
Of course, there are also professional coaches nearby.
"Director Wu!" Wu Qichen's coach said respectfully after seeing Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye smiled and said, "Miss Liu, I'm sorry to bother you!"
"Director Wu is so polite!" Then Miss Liu said: "Director Wu, today's training is almost over, I'm going back first!"
"Miss Liu, walk slowly!" Wu Jianye said.
Gong Yin lifted Wu Qichen up in the indoor swimming pool and handed it to Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye hugged Wu Qichen, wrapped him in a blanket, teased him and said, "Call daddy!"
This should be what a father is most willing to say to his children after they have just learned to speak.
Gong Yin glanced at Wu Jianye angrily, walked over in a swimsuit, sat next to Wu Jianye, and said, "Will it take a long time to walk again this time?"
Wu Jianye nodded: "Absolutely. I have two filming plans in Hollywood this time. It will take almost two years, but I should still come back during the Chinese New Year!"
Gong Yin said: "Well, then I have time to visit you?"
When he said this, Gong Yin looked at Wu Jianye expectantly.
"Of course, bring Wu Qichen with you when the time comes!" Wu Jianye said without hesitation, and then told Gong Yin: "By the way, during the Chinese New Year this year, I will bring my mother to Xiangjiang.
She also meets her grandson."
Hearing that Wu Jianye was going to bring his mother to Xiangjiang, Gong Yin showed a nervous expression. Although he had been with Wu Jianye for so many years, this was the first time he met his mother-in-law.
"Ah... Auntie, what does she like?" Gong Yin asked.
Wu Jianye glanced at Gong Yin and said, "If you call me aunt again when you meet me, I'll probably get angry with you!"
Gong Yin's face was a little excited, and his eye circles were slightly red, and he said: "Huh, I want you to look good then!"
At this time, a nanny came over and took over Wu Qichen. Wu Jianye looked at the swimming pool and joked with Gong Yin: "Compare?"
Gong Ying raised his eyebrows proudly and glanced at Wu Jianye: "Compare, just compete, the loser will cook tonight!"
"no problem!"
As soon as Wu Jianye finished speaking, Gong Yin jumped directly into the swimming pool like a beautiful mermaid, while Wu Jianye showed a helpless expression and jumped in without changing clothes, wearing casual clothes, but Wu Jianye did not
Instead of swimming forward, he stopped on Gong Yin's return route and caught Gong Yin directly.
"You're cheating!" Gong Yin emerged from the water and shouted angrily.
At this time, the nanny also took Wu Qichen out of the indoor swimming room, and only Wu Jianye and Gong Yin were left inside!
.......
When the two came out of the swimming room, Gong Yin ordered his servants to change the water in the swimming room. As for dinner, although there was a chef, Wu Jianye was willing to meet Gong Ying's requirements at this time and personally
I started cooking dinner for two.
In the evening, Gong Yin leaned in Wu Jianye's arms and said: "I am planning to go to Europe next month. Now that the preparations for "VG Fashion" and Angel Underwear have been completed, I want to go to Europe to hire some designers.
By the way, we are discussing cooperation with some luxury brands in Europe.”
The fashion magazine founded by Gong Ying is called "VG Fashion", and the underwear brand is directly named Angel. She has always worked with an attitude of excellence, so the early preparations are very meticulous, resulting in the two major products still being
It has not been released yet. According to Gong Yin’s current work situation, it is estimated that it will not be released until the end of this year!
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Well, let's go, just pay attention to safety then!"
Zhu Yan is currently busy with his TV drama career and will star in Wu Jianye's second Hollywood movie "Jurassic Park" next year. Zhou Huimin is busy with his recording career. Li Xiuming is also studying advertising management in the United States.
All three have their own jobs.
Gong Yin has now found the job she wants to do, and it is impossible for Wu Jianye to stop her. Besides, Wu Jianye has invested 50 million US dollars in Gong Yin before, which is enough for her to support the current business of "VG Fashion" and "VG Fashion".
The preliminary preparations for Angel Underwear are now underway.
Leaning in Wu Jianye's arms, Gong Ying explained his ideas to him, such as when "VG Fashion" was launched, he wanted to find Zhong Chuhong as the cover girl of the first issue, he wanted to lead the fashion trend in Hong Kong, etc...
....
Gong Yin and Zhong Chuhong have always had a good relationship. The two often meet in private. Sometimes Gong Yin will even complain about his sister Gong Ying. He spends more time seeing Zhong Chuhong than his own sister. By the way, Gong Ying
He is also married to Guan Wenjie.
At the beginning, Wu Jianye did find someone to investigate Guan Wenjie and found that he was indeed a good candidate, and he did not object to their marriage.
It may be an image problem. Although she was strongly supported by Fengge Entertainment in the past few years, Gong Ying has never been able to become a first-class movie star in Hong Kong. Now after marrying Guan Wenjie, she plans to stop acting.
But after listening to Gong Ying's wishes, I had the idea to bring Gong Ying to "VG Fashion" to help me.
Wu Jianye has no objection to this. "VG Fashion" and Angel Underwear were originally founded for Gong Ying. She can do whatever she wants!
After spending a day with Gong Yin in Repulse Bay, Wu Jianye finally boarded a plane flying to the United States.
Accompanying us are Zhao Fei, Tan Yang, and Tan Yang’s team, a total of seven people!
However, they did not fly directly to Los Angeles, but to New York, the financial center of the United States.
Flying to New York was not because Wu Jianye wanted to do something in New York. The main reason was that Li Xiuming was in New York now. At first, Li Xiuming felt that his abilities were still insufficient in China, so he proposed to come to the United States to study. He originally went there before.
It was Los Angeles, but later she liked the environment here better, so she came to New York again.
Yaoguang Group has its own office in New York, so when Wu Jianye and others arrived in New York, people from Yaoguang Group were already waiting at the airport.
And Wu Jianye also met Li Xiuming, whom he hadn’t seen for a long time!
Li Xiuming has been in the United States for almost a year, and his personal changes are obvious. In the past, when he was in China, although Li Xiuming was also in the entertainment industry, his personal image and appearance were still far behind the world's trends because of the domestic situation.
of.
But things are different now. Li Xiuming is wearing a tight-fitting white shirt and slim-fitting jeans, showing off her plump figure. Her hair is casually spread out, and she has a little makeup, which also gives her a lot of fashionable temperament.
Even her personality has become a lot more open.
After seeing Wu Jianye in the airport lobby, he immediately threw himself into Wu Jianye's arms and gave him a passionate kiss.
However, such behavior is not uncommon in the lobby of New York Airport...
"We haven't seen each other for a while, so I feel a lot more courageous!" Wu Jianye joked after the two separated.
Li Xiuming corrected with a slightly red face: "It's 307 days!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "Let's go back to the apartment first!"
Wu Jianye took Li Xiuming out of the airport and got into the car. As for Zhao Fei and others, naturally someone took them to the hotel.
After Li Xiuming came to New York, Wu Jianye bought Li Xiuming a penthouse apartment on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, New York, in order to give Li Xiuming no worries. This apartment was nearly 500 square meters. Even in the United States in 1988,
Still spent nearly 8 million US dollars!
The entire apartment has the characteristics of a top apartment building in Manhattan. It is all managed in a hotel style and has its own gym, SPA and other leisure facilities.
The two came to the room. The large floor-to-ceiling glass in the living room overlooked the entire Manhattan and Central Park.
A breakup is better than a wedding, so the rest of the things naturally don’t need to be described too much.
After two absurd days, Li Xiuming began to tell Wu Jianye about his situation in the past year. In fact, Li Xiuming wanted to return to China in the first half of this year, but Wu Jianye rejected it.
For more than a year, Wu Jianye specially hired several senior consultants in the North American advertising industry for Li Xiuming to give her lectures and analyze the significance of various advertisements to products.
"Did you think of the series of advertisements for Very Coca-Cola in Hong Kong?" Li Xiuming was barefoot, revealing her slender thighs, and was only wearing a white shirt. She sat in front of Wu Jianye, holding a hand in her hand.
Holding a wine glass.
If you only look at Li Xiu Ming now, you would never imagine her previous image.
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "That's right, why do you know about it even in America?"
Li Xiuming nodded and said proudly: "Yes, the series of advertisements you designed for Very Coca-Cola have long been spread to the United States. My mentor is also full of praise. He praises this series of advertisements for the entire Eighth Route Army."
The most dazzling advertisement of the decade!”
Wu Jianye did not expect such a situation. After all, in his heart, Americans are very proud, and he did not expect that they would pay attention to Xiangjiang's advertisement.
"By the way, I heard that Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola are very dissatisfied with your first advertisement and are already planning to sue Very Coke!" When he said this, Li Xiuming said with some worry.
There is no big surprise for Wu Jianye. Coca-Cola and Pepsi-Cola are now the two largest beverage companies in the world. Naturally, they will not tolerate such coke-like behavior.
"If you want to sue, then sue. I'm worried that they won't sue!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
As mentioned before, Wu Jianye is not worried about the lawsuits from Coca-Cola and Pepsi. Now, with that series of advertisements and Very Coke’s free marketing, Very Coke has already laid the groundwork for the market in Hong Kong and even the entire Southeast Asia.
opened and became the biggest competitor of the two major beverage companies in Southeast Asia.
At the same time, coupled with the domestic base, Hanshui Beverage is preparing to pry open the European and American markets. If the two major beverage companies are willing to file a lawsuit with Very Coke, it will definitely be a very successful marketing for Very Coke.
Behavior!
After listening to Wu Jianye's opinion, Li Xiuming looked at Wu Jianye in surprise: "How can it still be done like this?"
Wu Jianye laughed and said: "Why can't it be done like this? Everything is to increase the popularity of the product. As for the process, it doesn't really matter!"
Li Xiuming asked Wu Jianye to talk about how he came up with these advertising ideas. Wu Jianye first made nonsense and then talked about some classic advertisements for products in later generations.
After staying in New York for three days, Wu Jianye was about to get up and go to Hollywood to prepare for the preliminary preparations for "The Love of Ghosts".
Li Xiuming originally planned to go to Los Angeles with Wu Jianye, but thinking about the advertising ideas Wu Jianye mentioned, he stayed in New York and prepared to analyze it with his mentors, and Wu Jianye had no objection to this.
.
Everyone set off in New York and flew to Los Angeles again!
But when Wu Jianye arrived in Los Angeles, he began to feel lucky that Li Xiuming didn't follow him!
Because Isabel Adjani was already standing at the airport waiting for Wu Jianye. As the entertainment capital of the United States, there are more reporters here than in New York.
Coupled with Isabelle Adjani's fame, many reporters were standing around at this time, wanting to see who could make Isabelle Adjani come to the airport to greet her in person!
But when everyone saw Wu Jianye, they immediately remembered what happened at the Berlin Film Festival this year.
At that time, Wu Jianye said that he would cooperate with Isabel Adjani. Unexpectedly, Wu Jianye actually came to Los Angeles now!
After Isabel Adjani saw Wu Jianye, she also showed her enthusiasm without any concern for the reporters around her. Amidst the sound of cameras clicking, the two separated.
And the news that Wu Jianye came to Hollywood will officially spread!
