There are only so many radio stations and newspapers in the entire Hong Kong City. There are only fifty or sixty of them that have appeared on the stage. This also includes reporters stationed in Hong Kong City from other places, plus those tabloids and so on.
There are more than a hundred reporters. Even if one family sends two reporters, two hundred reporters means that almost all the media in the Hong Kong City are dispatched.
Ye Ming finally thought about what he was worried about. In the past two days, he always felt that he had forgotten something, but he could not remember it. At this time, he finally figured out what he had forgotten.
Lu Yu said on the side: "Is there a press conference for Big Brother's new film? But it's impossible. I don't have any news. If there is any press conference for Big Brother's new film, then at this time, it would be enough.
It attracted the attention of so many reporters.”
Ye Ming smiled bitterly and said: "It can't be Big Brother's new film conference. Otherwise, it would have caused a storm in the city. What is supposed to come will always come. These people are here to block Big Brother. I know something,
I wasn't sure at first, but now it seems like it's true.
Teacher Zhang, please sit down first, and I’ll find my elder brother to see if I can find a way to save this matter."
If the eldest brother is really blocked here by so many reporters, then according to the eldest brother's character that would rather bend than bend, he will definitely conflict with the media. In fact, the eldest brother is a little unreasonable in this matter. If his attitude is further criticized by the media
If you seize the opportunity to attack, things will become difficult to deal with.
At this time, Zhang Tielin was very surprised: "Nowadays, there are still media who dare to offend eldest brother. Don't want to offend him. Not long ago, a female star offended the local underworld in Macau. When eldest brother stepped forward, the underworld was a little disrespectful. Big Brother
He also threatened to spend 100 million to settle the group of people in Macau, but in the end the matter was dropped."
The eldest brother's status in the martial arts world is very powerful. The eldest brother, who was originally a dragon and tiger martial artist, naturally has a group of brothers who dare to fight.
Ye Ming smiled bitterly and said: "Teacher Zhang, you don't know such a thing, this good money has nothing to do with it, let alone the elder brother, even if US President Clinton made such a mistake, it is still the same.
will be impeached."
Clinton couldn't control his lower body and caused a scandal with Lewinsky. As a result, he almost became the first president to be impeached in the history of the United States. It can be said that he lost all face.
Hearing what he said, Zhang Tielin stopped talking at this time. The whole entertainment industry knows about the eldest brother's love interest. If this matter involves the eldest brother's personal life, then the reporters outside do have enough reasons to come.
Intercept big brother.
This is big news in the entertainment industry. Who hopes to find out what is going on in the first place?
Ye Ming greeted the waiter. Immediately a beautiful woman came over and said, "Mr. Ye, I don't know what your orders are." Ye Ming glanced outside and said, "I heard that Brother Cheng Long and his friends are also here.
Here they are, what box are they in? I want to pay them a visit."
This request makes the waiter a little embarrassed. He cannot reveal the secrets of the guests. This is a basic requirement for the waiter. Otherwise, in such a situation, who would dare to come and spend money.
At this time, the beautiful waiter looked embarrassed and said: "I'm sorry, Mr. Ye. According to the regulations, I cannot reveal the customer's information."
Ye Ming actually understands such a rule. The waiters also act under orders, so naturally they will not embarrass others. But this matter actually needs to be resolved urgently and cannot be delayed. The longer the delay, the more reporters will come.
Yes, in such a situation, the more unfavorable it is for the solution of the matter.
At that moment, Ye Ming thought about it and said, "Maybe you can't make the decision on this matter, so you go find your lobby manager. Ask your lobby manager to ask the elder brother. I think the elder brother will not refuse my visit.
Just say that I have something important and may even involve you." The waiter was able to meet this request. Ye Ming was not an ordinary person. Obviously, he would not go to Brother Cheng Long to chase stars.
When Cheng Long came to drink tea, he naturally asked for the largest and most luxurious box. However, there were only three people sitting on the sofa in the entire box. Cheng Long sat lazily in the middle, and the one with a mustache on the left.
The famous singer Li Zongsheng, a great talent and a great singer, is also a figure who can become a historical benchmark in the entertainment industry.
The person who can sit with these two people is naturally not an ordinary person. The one on the right is the emperor superstar Zhang Guorong, his brother Zhang Guorong, who just finished promoting "Red Lovers" from the mainland not long ago.
At this time, Li Zongsheng picked up his glass and said: "Hong Kong student, your Rush Hour was released in the United States, and the box office was quite good. I heard that the next one will be released soon?"
Mentioning his masterpiece "Rush Hour", Cheng Long seemed a little excited at this time. This is obviously the most successful movie of the elder brother in the past two years. In fact, it can truly enter Hollywood and the West.
There are two Chinese people in the mainstream film market, one is Bruce Lee, and the other is now Cheng Long. Many of Cheng Long's Kung Fu movies are very popular in the West, but they really operate according to the Hollywood model.
This "Rush Hour" is the first one, and it has been quite successful.
It's much better than "Cannonball Run". "Cannonball Run" can be said to be Cheng Long's first film in contact with Hollywood. It was considered a test of the waters, but the result was a miserably failure. That kind of road movie is also modeled after the West.
No, it even abandoned Cheng Long's usual humorous Kung Fu style. It would be strange if it didn't fail. In fact, it was precisely because of the failure of a movie like this that Cheng Long's trip to Hollywood was postponed for a long time.
And this "Rush Hour" is Cheng Long's ambitious work.
And the result is very good, which makes Hollywood shine. No matter which country, if a movie is going to be a sequel, there is only one possibility at this time, that is, the first movie will be a big hit at this time.
, only a popular movie can make a second part, and only then will someone be willing to pay for a second part. For example, last year's "Batman and Robin" was approved by both box office and critics.
With his body badly damaged, Warner Bros. put the Batman film series on hold for eight years.
However, the box office of "Rush Hour" last year was 244 million U.S. dollars, and the production cost was only 33 million U.S. dollars, which can be said to be a huge profit. Therefore, it is obvious that the second part has already started.
This allowed Cheng Long to suddenly rise to the ranks of mainstream Hollywood stars. After Bruce Lee, there was finally a Chinese who could reach this point.
Cheng Long said proudly: "There should be no problem with this sequel, that is, when the filming will start. However, my agency has already raised questions about the remuneration, and the actors' union also believes that the remuneration needs to be increased."
Some, so as long as we solve some of these problems, we can basically start."
For the first film, Cheng Long's salary was US$8 million. Naturally, the salary for the first movie that was a hit was going to increase. Then the production cost for the second movie reached over US$90 million, which means that Cheng Long and
Tucker's salary has been increased. For the second part of Rush Hour, Cheng Long's salary was 18 million plus 15% of the box office dividend.
It is said that Cheng Long’s salary exceeds 20 million. This is a rumor. None of the Chinese stars’ salary can reach the 20 million salary club in Hollywood. Even in Hollywood, there are actually only ten actors who can truly climb this level.
To reach this top position, the Chinese ranked Cheng Long’s 18 million as the highest.
Leslie Cheung said with some waning interest: "Those foreigners actually look down on us. Your peak box office is so high. As a result, it is so difficult to increase the salary. It is even more difficult for others to get along."
Li Lianjie and Zhou Runfa were also involved in Hollywood later. It was obvious that they were not very successful, at least not as good as Cheng Long in terms of salary and influence. At this time, Cheng Long said with a smile: "It's hard to leave, but you have to leave.
I can't let those gringos look down on me. Fortunately, they asked me to shoot this. Other aspects are pretty good." At this time, Cheng Long really felt like he was alone and alone in Hollywood.
In fact, it is not as easy as it seems on the surface, and it does not mean that the scenery you see is so wonderful.
At this moment, just as the three of them were immersed in this helplessness, there was a knock on the box door.
Cheng Long reacted from his loneliness and said: "Come in."
The person who came was the lobby manager, because Cheng Long also came here often, so he knew this lobby manager, and his surname seemed to be Luo. Therefore, Cheng Long glanced at him and said, "Manager Luo, what's the matter? Didn't you see that I'm here?"
Want to greet friends?"
It is obvious that guests cannot be disturbed without being summoned. At this time, Manager Luo's behavior was somewhat breaking the rules. Cheng Long was not in a good mood at the moment, so his tone when he spoke was not very good.
It's comfortable.
Manager Luo quickly said with a smile: "Mr. Cheng Long, don't be angry. In fact, I came here because I was entrusted by others. Mr. Ye Mingye didn't know how he knew you were coming, so he wanted to pay you a visit. Let me
Come and ask Mr. Cheng Long what you mean?" Ye Ming, that young man who dares to risk his life, Cheng Long's heart moved. He himself is a famous desperate man. He dares to fight and fight. He has the courage to fight for such a person.
Cheng Long still admires this kind of person very much.
Therefore, Cheng Long was stunned and said: "Ye Ming, that young man who advertises Sprite is interesting. Go tell him and I'll invite him to come and sit down."
There are not many people in Hong Kong who ask eldest brother to use the word "please" when speaking. Especially after "Rush Hour", eldest brother has become the number one person in the Chinese film industry, with a respected position, and is worthy of him using the word "please".
There weren't many in the first place, but for a newcomer like Ye Ming to be used by Cheng Long, it was more or less taking up the time that Ye Ming dared to work hard for.
Li Zongsheng said with a smile: "Ye Ming, I have also heard that this young man can sing well and write well, and he dares to fight hard. No one in Baodao dares to fly in a wingsuit without power."
Cheng Long said with a smile: "He is also the first Chinese person who dares to eat crabs. This is playing with his life. According to Ye Ming's current achievements, he didn't have to play with his life. The key is that he succeeded.
, this is what I value about him. People like this will be welcomed regardless of whether they are from the East or the West."
Anyone who dares to risk his life is just a fool at best, but in a situation like this, once the success rate is high, he is a warrior. Everyone has eternal admiration for warriors. At least they can
Let Cheng Long take a look.
Hearing that Ye Ming was actually invited, Zhang Tielin and the others were a little surprised. Dou Wentao said in surprise: "Brother Cheng Long rarely uses the word "invite". It seems that Ye Ming's status is higher than we thought."
It’s much higher.”
Zhang Tielin said sincerely: "Wen Tao, if you dare to fly in a wingsuit without power, then at a time like this, there is a chance that you will be favored by big brother." Dou Wentao waved his hand and quickly denied it and said: "Brother Zhang, you
Are you kidding me? Even if I had the guts to jump down, I'd probably end up dead standing on the ground."
It can be called an extreme sport among extreme sports. It is not something that ordinary people can play. It is definitely gambling with one's life. Only Cheng Long's box was found. Ye Ming saw three superstars. Naturally,
First of all, let’s say hello. Any one of these three people is qualified enough to be respected by Ye Ming.
After finishing the courtesy, Cheng Long said with a smile: "Ye Ming, I saw the commercial you shot a few days ago. If Sprite doesn't increase your endorsement fee next year, then you will always come to me and I will introduce you to General Motors. I promise.
The endorsement fee is higher than that of Sprite. There are not many young people who want to work hard like you. By the way, what do you want from me? I even asked Manager Luo to ask, but actually you can just come over directly."
Rules are rules. Even if Ye Ming knows which box Cheng Long is in, he will still ask people to come over and ask him out of respect. Some rules cannot be changed no matter what.
Ye Ming said very modestly: "Brother is joking. My danger is nothing to him. It is not worth mentioning. I came here because I saw a lot of reporters at the door. I heard that eldest brother is here. I
I wonder if the second part of Big Brother’s new movie [Rush Hour] is about to start filming.”＼(To be continued...)
