Chapter 900 Zhang Guoxuan wants to participate in the Strawberry Music Festival (4100+ chapters~)
There are actually only three movie stars in the Hong Kong film industry who have truly become famous in Hollywood: Cheng Long, Jet Li, and Chow Yun-fat!
Among them, Chow Yun-fat is the most special, because both Cheng Long and Jet Li entered Hollywood through kung fu movies. Compared with Chow Yun-fat's path, these two people have a smoother path in Hollywood.
On the other hand, Chow Yun-fat's road to Hollywood was more difficult. In the end, there were not many masterpieces left in Hollywood. Apart from "Anna and the King", the only remaining masterpiece was "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"!
The rest basically appear as supporting roles.
In Wu Jianye's opinion, this is actually a waste of Chow Yun-fat's acting skills, although in the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Tony Leung's award-winning record is higher than that of Chow Yun-fat, and the same is true in overseas awards.
But in Wu Jianye's opinion, if we purely talk about acting skills and acting skills, Zhou Runfa is above Tony Leung Chiu-wai.
In Wu Jianye's future plans, Hong Kong films and domestic films are actually complementary to each other. At least in the past five years, Hong Kong films will be the true representative of Huayu films overseas!
These artists in Xiangjiang have created influence for Chinese-language films overseas. When the domestic film industry develops in five years, they will be able to expand their overseas influence more smoothly.
Therefore, Chow Run-fa's departure from Hong Kong is also a very beneficial thing for the entire Chinese film industry.
After Wu Jianye finished speaking, Zhou Runfa showed a smile on his face and said, "Even if you don't say it, I already have this idea!"
Because of Wu Jianye's appearance, Zhou Runfa's last glorious work in Hong Kong, "God of Gamblers 2", has been released. This year, two movies that Wu Jianye has never heard of were filmed, one is an action movie and the other is a comedy, both of which have won awards.
Decent movie box office.
Zhou Runfa, who has become famous in Hong Kong and throughout Southeast Asia, naturally wants to go to Hollywood to prove himself.
Especially in the past two years, Cheng Long, who is as famous as himself in Hong Kong, has already become famous in Hollywood, and Zhou Xingchi, a junior, also made a name for himself in Hollywood with "The World of Chu Xing" the year before.
Zhou Runfa still has a lot of ideas in his mind.
"I heard that you are taking on a new movie from Wei Jiahui?" Wu Jianye asked.
The reason why the Hong Kong film industry was able to flourish in the 1980s and 1990s was that there were not only outstanding actors and directors, but also many outstanding screenwriters. However, among these outstanding screenwriters, only Wei Jiahui is known as the god of screenwriting.
!
However, Wei Jiahui at this time has not yet reached this point. At this time, Wei Jiahui's more achievements are in TV dramas. If it were not for Wu Jianye's appearance, "Big Era" would be one of the representative works of screenwriter Wei Jiahui. At the same time, Andy Lau's version
"The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Liang Chaowei's version of "Brother Xinzha", Huang Rihua and Wen Zhaolun's version of "Intolerance".
They are all created by Wei Jiahui.
Later, Wei Jiahui began to move to the big screen and formed a golden partner with Du Dapao, and they collaborated on classic works such as "The Birth of a Prefix", "A Man and a Widow", "Slimming Man and Woman", and "Big Man".
The movie Wu Jianye is talking about now is actually "Peace Inn", the first work of director and screenwriter Wei Jiahui after entering the big screen!
This film was also Chow Run-fat's last film in Hong Kong. After Chow Run-fa finished filming this film, he moved to Hollywood.
Wu Jianye has watched the movie "Peace Inn" many times and was deeply affected. In fact, in the movie "Eternal Night", Wu Jianye drew lessons from the movie "Peace Inn"
The settings are at .
This shows the influence of this movie on Wu Jianye.
But it is regrettable that the Hong Kong audience in this era does not like movies like "Peace Inn", so the box office of this movie in Hong Kong is not very good.
But it does not affect the classicness of this movie.
"Yes, I talked with Wei Jiahui. He had the idea of entering the big screen. The two of us chatted about a story. I was also very interested in this story, so I prepared to shoot this movie with him!" Zhou Runfa
sermon.
Whether with Du Dapao, Wei Jiahui, or Zhou Runfa, they are all very good friends.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Then after you finish this movie, I will help you write a script as your first movie in Hollywood!"
When Zhou Runfa heard that Wu Jianye was planning to write a movie for himself, he couldn't help but laugh in his heart. The movie "A Better Tomorrow" that made him famous on the big screen was written by Wu Jianye, and then he let him
He started a cheating life in the film industry.
Now that he is preparing to enter Hollywood, Wu Jianye will still prepare a movie script for him, which makes Zhou Runfa more confident about his trip to Hollywood!
"Well, let me thank Director Wu first!" Zhou Run said with a smile.
Wu Jianye laughed and waved his hand.
Others looked at Zhou Runfa with envy, except of course Cheng Long. Although he had not gotten Wu Jianye's script for a long time, fortunately Wu Jianye had just said that he would give himself a script, otherwise he would have
It’s definitely going to taste delicious!
Li Lianjie looked at Wu Jianye eagerly. If he said that he had no idea of wanting to develop in Hollywood, it would definitely be a lie.
Wu Jianye looked at Li Lianjie with a smile and asked, "You want to go too?"
Li Lianjie naturally nodded repeatedly.
Wu Jianye thought for a moment and said bluntly: "Let's wait a little longer. The Hollywood market is not that easy to enter. Their xenophobic sentiments are very strong. If two people enter at once, it will definitely cause a backlash. Besides,
Now your status in Xiangjiang is still inferior to them!"
Although Li Lianjie's development in Hollywood is smoother than that of Chow Yun-fat, in fact, in terms of status in the Hong Kong film industry, Li Lianjie is indeed one of the worst among them. In addition to Yuan Biao, this is also due to Yuan Biao's production cuts in the past two years.
It’s related to the fact that I can’t find a suitable acting path for me.
Jet Li still has many classic films that have not been shown to everyone, such as "Letter to Dad" and "The Dark Knight" which made him famous in Hollywood. The Hollywood market still doesn't recognize Jet Li.
Hearing what Wu Jianye said, Li Lianjie showed a disappointed expression on his face, but it quickly disappeared and said: "I know Director Wu!"
Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You don't have to be disappointed. In fact, your style is very suitable for Hollywood action movies. However, your influence in the Hong Kong film industry has not broken through yet. It is only limited to the entire Southeast Asia. When Hollywood film producers
When I notice you, you will have the capital to develop in Hollywood!"
There is one thing Wu Jianye didn't say. Whether Li Lianjie still wants to go to Hollywood to develop his career is another matter!
After talking about the serious business, everyone naturally had a good time drinking and talking. Most of the people sitting here were all heroes in the wine, and no one gave up. When the drink was past ten o'clock, Cheng Long was already clamoring to go to the next round.
However, Wu Jianye did not agree. Although he was ready for a second round of drinking, he did not plan to follow them to the karaoke bar. He still had the next drinking party to attend.
After separating from them, Wu Jianye came to a food stall, where a handsome man was already waiting for him.
"Director Wu!" Zhang Guoyi stood up with a smile.
It was Zhang Guoyi who arranged a second date with Wu Jianye.
"Can you come to a place like this?" Wu Jianye smiled and sat down. He didn't look down on the food stalls by asking this. In fact, compared to the food in the hotel, Wu Jianye preferred this down-to-earth way of eating and drinking. Mainly
Because of Zhang Guoyi's popularity, coming to a place like this is obviously going to cause a sensation!
Zhang Guoyi naturally understood what Wu Jianye meant, and said with a smile: "It definitely wasn't possible before, but it has gotten much better in the past two years, and I come to this place often, so everyone is familiar with it!"
At the end of the 1980s, the fans of Zhang Guoyi and Tan Yonglin were definitely the two most popular groups in Hong Kong, and they often had conflicts. As the most popular star in Hong Kong at that time, Zhang Guoyi naturally couldn't do it, but then
In 1989, Zhang Guoyi announced that she would quit the music scene and move to the big screen, so fans were no longer so crazy.
Today’s crazy fans are fans of the Four Heavenly Kings!
Therefore, the entertainment industry is the most forgetful circle. Maybe you were a huge fan yesterday, but you will fall in love with someone else tomorrow. There are many examples like this.
Wu Jianye asked the waiter to hand over a set of tableware, then picked up a piece of chicken and said with a smile: "I just had a drink with Hong Jinbao and the others, and now I still feel uncomfortable in my stomach!"
Zhang Guoyi chuckled: "They are really good at drinking!"
It is obvious that Zhang Guoyi also knew the drinking capacity of Hong Jinbao and others.
Then he said: "A friend will come over later, Director Wu, don't think too much about it!"
Wu Jianye had also drunk a lot of wine at this time, and said nonchalantly: "Come on."
Zhang Guoyuan invited Wu Jianye this time not actually for the movie. Compared with Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa and others, Zhang Guoyuan saw this circle more clearly, and at the same time he also saw the so-called Hollywood more thoroughly. In other words
After "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Guoyi received many invitations from Hollywood film companies, but Zhang Guoyi did not agree. He preferred the feeling of filming movies in Hong Kong and China.
In fact, in the past two years, Zhang Guoyi will indeed take on a lot of domestic-related films. First of all, next year he will take on the co-production film "Midnight Song" directed by Yu Yun Tai. At the same time, he will take on Chen Kaige in the year after that.
The director's "Feng Yue", and later also took over the filming of "Red Lover" directed by Ye Daying.
"Director Wu, I heard that you are planning to hold several concerts for domestic rock singers in Hong Kong?" Zhang Guoyi invited Wu Jianye to come over. Actually, it was about the concert of the new rock forces.
Although Zhang Guoyi announced his retirement in the music industry in 1989, he will actually come back this year for a song. This shows that his musical heart has not died. At the same time, although Zhang Guoyi has not released a rock album, he is very interested in rock music.
Always liked it very much.
Since the beginning of this year, Fengge Media has been promoting the concerts of new rock forces, and Zhang Guoyi naturally wanted to know.
Wu Jianye nodded and said: "Yes, it will be held in Hung Hom in August this year. Are you also interested?"
Zhang Guoyi said with a smile: "If you are interested, go and see it, just go on stage, it is not the same style as them!"
Zhang Guoyuan knew his own affairs. When he was filming "Farewell My Concubine" in China, he had already listened to domestic rock music, which was not the same style as his own.
Wu Jianye laughed and said, "It's no problem if you want to see it, just buy the tickets yourself!"
Zhang Guoyuan rolled his eyes at Wu Jianye, "This is natural!"
"But how did I hear that not only will the concert be held in Xiangjiang, but a music festival will also be held in China?"
Wu Jianye said: "The information is very good. There is indeed such a plan. It has been decided now and will be held in October!"
"That's not all the news I got. I heard that you are also going to perform?" Zhang Guoyuan asked excitedly.
Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Yes, I have already agreed to them!"
Zhang Guoyi then said excitedly: "Then how about I go and participate? I know that not only will you appear, but you will also invite many foreign bands to participate?"
Wu Jianye nodded, not expecting Zhang Guoyuan to be so well-informed, "Okay, I'll ask them to send you an invitation when the time comes."
The domestic Strawberry Music Festival is different from this year's new rock concert in Hong Kong. Although both are based on rock music, the more important thing for the Strawberry Music Festival is to increase its influence first, and then rock music.
It would be even better if Zhang Guoyi could participate!
"I want to participate too!"
At this time, a slightly deep girl's voice came over. Wu Jianye looked up and saw that the girl was already sitting next to Zhang Guoyi, and this girl was none other than Mei Yanxi, who is as famous as Zhou Huimin in the Hong Kong music scene!
If Wu Jianye hadn't appeared, among the female singers in the Hong Kong music scene at this time, Mei Yanzi's family would actually be the only one to show off. Wang Fei would have to wait a few more years, and the others would be several levels behind Mei Yanzi.
.
After sitting down, Mei Yanzhi smiled broadly and greeted Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, I haven't seen you for a long time!"
When Wu Jianye held a meeting for "The Last Love" in Xiangjiang, Anita Mui came with Zhang Guoyi to support her, so this was not the first time that the two met.
It's just that we met briefly last time.
"Yes, I haven't seen him for a while." Wu Jianye smiled and said, "If I had known better, I would have called Cheng Long over."
The heroine of Cheng Long's "Drunken Master 2" is none other than Anita Mui, but in it, Anita Mui plays Cheng Long's baby mother.
Mei Yanzi smiled and said: "It doesn't matter, we will go find them later!"
Wu Jianye shook his head, he would definitely not go, and Mei Yanzi came here this time actually for the Strawberry Music Festival held in China this year.
If it were just a spontaneously organized music festival in China, Anita Mui and Zhang Guoyi would definitely not be interested, but now that Wu Jianye is about to perform, and it has also been revealed that Wu Jianye will invite some foreign bands and singers, they will naturally
I have a different idea.
If it is really successful, then this music festival will be the largest in Asia!
Wu Jianye's status in the world is at stake here. How could he invite an ordinary singer with his status?
