Chapter 158: Dilemma for the Mainland

In this era or even for a long time, Chinese actors have been a minority in Hollywood. If you look carefully, only Bruce Lee, Jet Li, and Fang Shilong have remained in Hollywood.

It's just a pity that Bruce Lee passed away too early, and Fang Silong was famous, but his performance in Hollywood was not good, and he could only rely on the Rush Hour series.

On the contrary, Jet Li performed even better. Relying on his clean martial arts moves, he has become the most sought-after Chinese actor in Hollywood today, and the box office of kung fu movies is guaranteed.

But for Kaos, Jet Li has nothing to do with him. Ang Lee may still be able to cooperate in Hollywood movies, but neither of them is as important as Fang Shilong in his eyes.

After all, Fang Shilong's influence in the mainland market is greater than that of the two of them. Even in terms of some personal connections, Fang Shilong seems to be more worthy of close friendship, which will be very helpful for Lin Yifei's future development in the mainland and Hong Kong.

Originally, according to Kaos's worth, there was no need to do this. However, after a year of trials, Kaos was hit hard in the mainland market, and the development of the film and television industry was not smooth.

.

I also understand why the major Hollywood film companies regard the mainland market as a new box office support, but at the same time they ignore the mainland market and movie fans in many aspects, and only make limited coordination, which seems not to pay enough attention.

The English dubbing, background, etc. in later "Mulan" are full of errors and omissions. It is obvious that mainland movie fans were not fully considered, and the overall market was still considered for the global market.

All these problems actually stem from policy issues, which is why Kaos now has a net worth of tens of billions, but there is nothing he can do about it.

In domestic film and television production, whether it is film production, theaters, etc., there is a red line, that is, sole foreign investment is not allowed, and the proportion of joint venture investment must not exceed 49%.

At the same time, the number of foreign language films imported each year is strictly limited to more than 60 films.

Under such circumstances, how could Hollywood abandon the whole world for the sake of the mainland market?

The current situation is that Kaos has money to play, but when he glances around, he finds that he can't find a partner.

The only thing that can exert influence is to cooperate in filming. After hard work and investment, I can't get the say of the crew. I have completely become the other party's cash machine. I will pay as much as the other party wants. The only humble request I made is...

It’s just that the heroine must choose herself.

After losing money on the film, I didn't dare to speak out, for fear of affecting my next cooperation. After all, there are really very few friends who can contribute money together with Kaos.

In such a pitiful and humble situation, Kaos was on the verge of tears. He did not suffer the butchering knife of Hollywood, but he had to stretch his neck to be slaughtered by Chinese movies. If Lin Yifei had not wanted it, he would not have been willing to kill him.

Do it this way.

In order to circumvent these series of problems, Kaos has recently been preparing to contact Godfather Chen to establish a relationship, and for no other reason than to touch the other party's first-generation ID card that is worth tens of thousands of dollars.

However, Kaos feels a lot more comfortable when he thinks of those forefathers who traveled through Hong Kong and made fortunes in the Hong Kong film market, but eventually fell under the joint venture policy and became rent collectors, the second generation of Superman Li.

"Haha, no problem, Kaos, if you come to Hong Kong or the Mainland in the future, if you have any questions, just come to me."

Compared with Ang Lee's restrained character, Fang Shilong was still very public at this time, constantly patting his chest and saying assurances in front of Kaos.

"Yes, Kaos, Brother Fang Shilong is very recognized by everyone in Southeast Asia, and he is very respectable, especially in the circle."

At this time, Zhang Ziyi also intervened, flattering Fang Shilong on business, giving him a lot of face.

But Kaos could clearly notice that although Zhang Ziyi praised the other party in his words, she kept a distance from Fang Shilong in her actions. Instead, she hugged Kaos's arm tightly with one hand, making her appear very close.

Even in the subsequent chat, she took the initiative to hold some drinks for Kaos, and showed her gracefully, as if she was Kaos's female companion tonight.

"Thank you very much. I also have Chinese ancestry. We are relatives in this land. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to contact me."

Kaos did not reveal Zhang Ziyi's little thoughts. He also exchanged business favors with several people and expressed his own attitude at the same time.

Especially when Kaos speaks fluent Chinese, it can be clearly felt that Ang Lee and Fang Shilong are really much closer to each other in their attitudes towards Kaos.

The chat between the four of them continued until the end of the banquet. After Kaos watched Li An and Fang Shilong leave at the entrance of the hotel, he turned around and looked at Zhang Ziyi seriously, and asked with a smile: "You do this

Is it really good? Without the support of the other party, it is not easy for you to get along in Hollywood, and where will you find good things with a salary of 1 million US dollars in the future?"

The story between Zhang Ziyi and Fang Shilong in the previous life is very famous, and it is also a big black spot on the other party.

But Kaos is understandable. You must know that before Zhang Ziyi cooperated with Fang Shilong, the total salary for three movies was only 500,000 yuan, which was only a little over 60,000 yuan in US dollars.

However, "Rush Hour 2" only took three or four months to shoot, and the salary was as high as 1 million US dollars, nearly 8 million yuan. This was in 2001.

If it weren't for these remunerations, Zhang Ziyi would not be able to enter today's Hollywood banquets with the little money she had in the past, let alone dress so glamorously. Naturally, Kaos can understand that the other party would want to embrace Fang Silong's lap.

Not to mention her as a woman, I am afraid that some men, with this amount of funds, can tolerate having sex.

"It doesn't matter. I have thicker thighs now."

When Kaos revealed her purpose, Zhang Ziyi was slightly stunned, but then she gave Kaos a gentle look without any panic or embarrassment. She just hugged Kaos's arm harder.

.

Obviously I have known Kaos before, and I have not flinched at all from the idea of ​​Kaos being on the good list. This is also the inevitability of this era. Compared with domestic salaries, Hollywood dollars are indeed sweet and delicious.

"Sister, don't bother, Kaos likes Aunt Julia more."

At this moment, Lin Yifei came over and looked at Zhang Ziyi with great hostility. As she spoke, she pushed Julia towards Kaos.

"Oh, is what Crystal said true?"

Although Julia couldn't help but rolled her eyes when Lin Yifei called her aunt, she still cooperated and walked to the other side of Kaos, hugged Kaos's arm, covered her red lips with one hand, and her eyes widened.

Blue eyes, asking with surprise and joy.

"Okay, you two, stop making trouble."

Julia's completely careless and exaggerated acting skills made Kaos laugh out loud. He helplessly stretched out his hand to take Lin Yifei's hand, turned to the somewhat embarrassed Zhang Ziyi, shrugged his shoulders and continued: "It seems that today

The late date is a waste, let’s meet next time.”

"Okay, then I'll see you next time."

Kaos acted like a gentleman and signaled to the bodyguards, asking them to arrange a car to send Zhang Ziyi away. Then he took Lin Yifei and Julia and left the banquet in a car.
