Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss
Chapter 665
Hearing Lin Hao's words, Zhou Xingxing excitedly clenched his hands tightly. He was very familiar with "The Mask". The movie "The Mask" was actually an imitation of "The Mask". His comedy style was learned a lot from Jim Carrey. If Lin Hao asked him to shoot other Hollywood movies, he might not be sure, but if it was the second part of "The Mask", he was still confident.
Zhou Xingxing immediately stood up and shook Lin Hao's hand and said: "Thank you very much for the opportunity given to me by Mr. Lin. I will definitely make this movie well and will not let you down."
Yu Wenfeng on the side was also happy for Zhou Xingxing. The two have been together for many years. She is now helping Zhou Xingxing's company. She is still very clear about Zhou Xingxing's ideas. At this moment, she is really happy for him.
"I still believe in Master Xing's ability, so for the drama "Kung Fu"..."
"We can sign the contract at any time, and I think Miss Liu Siying is very suitable for the heroine. I want to invite Miss Liu Siying to play the role of the mute girl in the drama. I wonder what Mr. Lin thinks."
"Haha, then I will agree on behalf of Siying. Happy cooperation." Seeing that Zhou Xingxing was quite tactful, Lin Hao said with a smile.
After the business was over, the atmosphere became more harmonious. The four of them talked about a lot of Hong Kong movies, and finally ended at 10 o'clock in the evening.
After returning to the room, Liu Siying was so happy that she hugged Lin Hao with both hands and said excitedly.
"I knew that with Brother Hao here, there is nothing that can't be done."
"Then how do you thank me?" Lin Hao asked, lifting Liu Siying's chin.
"I have nothing to repay you, so I can only promise you my body." Liu Siying said in a delicate voice. How could Lin Hao bear it? He picked her up and walked into the bedroom.
Soon, the bedroom was full of spring, and Liu Siying completed the transformation from a girl to a woman.
......
The next morning, after Universal Pictures, Universal Entertainment and Star Shine Company discussed the details of the cooperation, they held a press conference at the Peninsula Hotel in the afternoon.
The news had been sent out, and the entire Hong Kong entertainment industry was in a sensation. After the Hong Kong government dinner the day before yesterday, it was reported that Lin Hao had invited Zhou Xingxing to invest at the dinner. At that time, many people were envious. Unexpectedly, an agreement was reached after only two days.
Moreover, in the past two days, many Hong Kong media have been madly discrediting Lin Hao, saying that Lin Hao beat people on the first day he came to Hong Kong, did not respect women, and invested 20 billion US dollars in Hong Kong not to engage in semiconductors, but to speculate in real estate, etc.
At this moment, they suddenly received a news conference from three companies, which must be a big announcement. Regardless of whether Lin Hao had been slandered before, they all rushed to the Peninsula Hotel, hoping to interview the latest news.
The venue of the Peninsula Hotel was now surrounded by reporters, all waiting for the start of the press conference.
At 2:00 pm, people from Universal Pictures, Universal Entertainment and Star Shine arrived. In addition to the heads of the three companies, there was also Stephen Chow and a girl. Stephen Chow was well-known, but the girl next to him was almost unknown. However, everyone was a little surprised by her beauty.
Many people have been speculating whether it will be the new generation of Star Girl. It has long been no secret in Hong Kong that Stephen Chow will shoot "Kung Fu", but the heroine in the previous rumors seems not to be the girl in front of them, but an actress from Star Shine.
The reporters were a little disappointed when they didn't see Lin Hao. Lin Hao is now a popular figure in Hong Kong. The rumors of slapping Hong Kong sisters have caused a lot of noise these few times, and the news media want to interview Lin Hao.
"Universal Pictures and Universal Entertainment will invest RMB 100 million plus Star Shine's RMB 70 million to jointly produce Kung Fu. The director and male lead of the film will be Mr. Stephen Chow, and the female lead will be played by Ms. Liu Siying.
At the same time, Universal Pictures invited Mr. Stephen Chow to Hollywood to shoot the second part of The Mask, and Mr. Stephen Chow will serve as the chief director and actor."
As soon as the news was announced, the venue exploded. A bunch of reporters originally guessed that it was about Kung Fu, after all, Lin Hao had said that he wanted to invest at the dinner party before, but they didn't expect that something more exciting was coming.
Zhou Xingxing was actually going to Hollywood to make a movie. Before that, many directors and stars from Hong Kong went to Hollywood to develop, but few succeeded. The only director who was relatively successful was John Woo, whose violent aesthetics had established a firm foothold in Hollywood.
First, the profound story theme of "nuclear war" was filmed. The wonderful performances of the two male protagonists and the exciting gunfight action shots made Broken Arrow a classic work with both story depth and entertainment. With this film, John Woo attracted much attention in Hollywood., Mission Impossible 2, and Black Jack, which made him one of the top directors in Hollywood.
Among actors, only Chen Long and Li Lianjie were successful, while Zhou Runfa could only be considered half-successful.
However, the four of them were only short-lived in Hollywood. In 2000, John Woo was invited by MGM, one of the eight major Hollywood studios, to direct Windtalkers. The film cost 115 million US dollars to produce, and only earned more than 77 million US dollars at the box office after its release.
The box office failure of Windtalkers made John Woo a box office poison in the eyes of Hollywood film producers, and his career began to decline. After Windtalkers, John Woo created the thriller film Memento for Paramount Pictures in 2003. The film was well-received but not popular, and the box office market was once again cold, which made John Woo fall into the trough of his career.
After Rush Hour 2, the box office of the two films that Chen Long shot in succession were not ideal. The final box office of Around the World in 80 Days, which was to be released in 2004, was also not ideal. Disney spent 110 million US dollars to customize Chen Long, but the reputation and box office were not good after the release, and the North American box office was only 24 million US dollars.
Li Lianjie and Zhou Runfa are similar. Zhou Runfa's Bulletproof Monk landed in North American theaters in April 2003. Due to the abnormal production level, the reputation of this film has been declining, and the box office results are also extremely unsatisfactory.
Bulletproof Monk cost 52 million US dollars. After its release, it earned 23.35 million US dollars in North America and 37.71 million US dollars in the global box office. This dismal box office result completely brought Zhou Runfa's Hollywood film career to a low point.
In 2003, Li Lianjie's "Dragon's Lair" was released. The film cost 25 million US dollars and made 34.71 million US dollars in North America and 56.48 million US dollars worldwide, which was average at the box office.
These four people are the best Hong Kong filmmakers who have developed in Hollywood. The others are not worth mentioning. Now that Stephen Chow, who has been breaking Hong Kong box office records, is also going to Hollywood to develop, how can the Hong Kong media not go crazy.
