Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss
Chapter 669
Chen Long came to the door and said to Lin Hao enthusiastically that he was the one who organized this party tonight. Originally, it was just a gathering of a few friends, but friends called friends, and more and more people came. As more people came, everyone talked about Zhou Xingxing going to Hollywood today.
Cheng Long was naturally the one who had the most say about Hollywood. Cheng Long was naturally a little flattered by everyone's flattery. He was now an international superstar and could be said to be unique in Hong Kong. Although he was called "Chow Yun-fat and Chow Yun-fat", Zhou Xingxing and Chow Yun-fat were not as good as him, and even Li Lianjie was a little worse than him.
He was a little disdainful of Zhou Xingxing going to Hollywood. Hollywood was not so easy to get into, and Zhou Xingxing was a comedian. Zhou's comedy had no market in Hollywood.
Both he and Li Lianjie opened up the situation in Hollywood because they knew kung fu. However, as they talked, everyone talked about Lin Hao, who was the boss of Universal Pictures and Universal Music.
In recent years, Hong Kong movies have been losing ground under the impact of Hollywood blockbusters. In the past, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia were all dominated by Hong Kong movies. In the glorious 1980s and 1990s, Hong Kong movies swept across these regions. Countless film producers waved money to invest in Hong Kong movies without even reading the scripts. There was no shortage of funds at all.
When Hong Kong movies were glorious, there were countless classic movies, Hong Kong stars, and well-known film companies. Initially led by Shaw Brothers, but the most influential were the kung fu movies produced by Golden Harvest and starring international superstars such as Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan.
But now Hong Kong movies have declined. Except for some movies starring big names, other movies are basically ignored. This has led to the departure of countless film talents, either to the mainland to develop in the north or to Hollywood.
These stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan are naturally more anxious. Many people have begun to develop in Hollywood and the mainland. The threshold of Hollywood is too high, and many people cannot reach it, but the mainland is different. In recent years, the mainland's economic development has been getting better and better, and many Hong Kong and Taiwan stars want to go to the mainland to make money.
Tonight, after hearing Cheng Long bragging about how good his relationship with Lin Hao was, a group of people immediately urged him to call Lin Hao over. Especially Hong Jinbao was a little anxious when he heard that Zhou Xingxing was also going to Hollywood. In fact, when Cheng Long and Li Lianjie went to Hollywood to develop, he also went, but compared with the two, he did not make any waves.
He could only run back to Hong Kong in disgrace. Today, after hearing Cheng Long talking about Lin Hao, plus Zhou Xingxing's matter, he began to be restless again, and directly asked Cheng Long to invite Lin Hao over.
Cheng Long could ignore the others' urging, but Hong Jinbao was his senior brother. Although his achievements had long surpassed Hong Jinbao, he still respected Hong Jinbao very much, so he could only bite the bullet and call Lin Hao.
When Cheng Long called, his heart was also beating. After all, he and Lin Hao had only met once, and he was really not sure whether Lin Hao would honor him. You know, Lin Hao is a world-class rich man with a huge influence in the world, and to put it bluntly, he is just an actor.
But what surprised him was that Lin Hao not only agreed, but also called him Uncle Long. Although it seemed like calling him too loud, it still made him excited and felt very proud.
A group of Hong Kong and Taiwan stars were surprised to see that Cheng Long really successfully invited Lin Hao. At first, they thought Cheng Long was bragging. Now that Lin Hao was in front of them, they really believed it.
"Mr. Lin, please take a seat." A group of people came forward and said enthusiastically after seeing Lin Hao.
Lin Hao smiled and nodded to everyone, and then walked into the box. The box was very large, and it was not crowded to sit 30 or 40 people. Just now, Lin Hao only saw a small number of people at the door, and there were still many people inside.
Lin Hao naturally sat in the middle seat, next to Cheng Long, Sammo Hung, Eric Tsang and Wang Jin. After sitting down, Lin Hao found that next to Sammo Hung was Bingbing, which surprised Lin Hao a little. He didn't expect her to be here.
But when I think of the rumors about her and Sammo Hung, and the fact that Bingbing was indeed in the Hong Kong circle during this period, it is not so strange. I just looked at her a few more times out of curiosity.
If I remember correctly, Bingbing will become very popular after starring in Xiao Gangpao's "Cell Phone" this year, but this movie also planted the seeds of disaster for her.
"I have wanted to meet Mr. Lin for a long time. I finally met him today. I toast Mr. Lin." Sammo Hung said with a smile, picking up the wine glass.
"It's nice to meet you all. Let's drink together." Lin Hao said as he picked up the wine glass. He didn't drink alone with Sammo Hung. There were so many people present. If they all had to drink alone with Lin Hao, he would have to go back lying down.
"Mr. Lin is right. Let's drink together." Cheng Long said loudly, and everyone picked up their glasses and drank together.
""Has Around the World in 80 Days been finished?" Lin Hao asked Jackie Chan with a smile. This drama was specially made for Jackie Chan by Disney.
During the golden age of Hong Kong movies, Jackie Chan had become a superstar in the Asian film industry. His works were popular in the Asian market and achieved great box office and reputation. However, it was Rumble in the Bronx released in 1995 that really made Jackie Chan enter the North American market. The film attracted North American audiences with its unique action comedy style and made them recognize this kung fu star from the East.
Since then, Jackie Chan began to consciously create his own international blockbusters. Although works such as A Good Man and Who Am I are still Hong Kong movies, their vision and plot are no longer limited to Hong Kong or Asia, but the story background is set all over the world, showing Jackie Chan's influence on the international stage.
These successes attracted the attention of Hollywood. In 1998, Hollywood extended an olive branch to Jackie Chan and invited him to shoot Rush Hour. This is a medium-cost film, but it has achieved huge commercial success, with a global box office of more than 400 million US dollars. Jackie Chan has become famous for his role in the film "Rush Hour". The film gained a firm foothold in Hollywood and gradually shifted its focus to the United States.
At that time, there was a so-called "US$20 million club" in Hollywood, and only the top male actors could get such high pay. After six or seven years of hard work in Hollywood, Jackie Chan finally achieved this goal in "Around the World in 80 Days" in 2004. The production cost of the film exceeded US$100 million, and Jackie Chan's personal salary was as high as US$20 million, which marked that his status in Hollywood has been further improved.
Unfortunately, the North American box office of the film was only US$24 million, and the global box office was only about US$70 million. After that, Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong to shoot "New Police Story", and suffered another failure.
Jackie Chan was very happy when he heard Lin Hao talk about "Around the World in 80 Days". He was full of confidence in this movie. The production cost was US$100 million, and his personal salary was as high as US$20 million, which was far ahead of others.
"It has been filmed and will be released in June this year. "
Lin Hao and Cheng Long were chatting enthusiastically, which made Sammo Hung feel a little uncomfortable. He also acted in Around the World in 80 Days, although he was a supporting role, but Lin Hao didn't even ask, and he toasted Lin Hao alone, but Lin Hao didn't respond, which made him a little impatient.
"Boss Lin, this is my goddaughter Bingbing, I have always admired you, Bingbing, you toast to Boss Lin."
