Chapter 134 Going to Hollywood Again
Huang Zhan is a bit irresponsible. He felt that each of the six songs given by Wu Cheng could be used as the title song of an album. It would be a waste to put them together.
Therefore, each of them wrote three casually and got it done!
In response to this, Wu Cheng had to roll his eyes besides rolling his eyes.
Although this guy makes sense, he is somewhat unkind.
What made Wu Cheng speechiest was that this guy finally felt that the song he wrote was really ugly, so he took the pseudonym to deal with it.
Seeing this, Wu Cheng had to give him a thumbs up.
It's so thief, is there any?
...
At the same time, news came from Hollywood that Stallone's "Rocky" has finally contacted the theater chain and is ready to be released in late November.
However, the other party gave fewer screens and was only willing to give three hundred yuan.
Faced with this situation, Wu Cheng was somewhat powerless. Donglong International was still weak, so it was normal to be looked down upon. However, Wu Cheng still asked Shirley Lansing to do her best to public relations and try her best to get more screens. At the same time, she also prepared for her to fight for next year's Oscars.
When Shirley Lansing heard that Wu Cheng wanted to give "Rocky" to the Oscar, he was speechless. But looking back and looking at it carefully, there was still some potential for "Rocky" to the Oscar.
After all, this is a very inspirational film!
For Wu Cheng, it doesn't matter whether "Rocky" can win the Oscars. What's important is that he wants to see how much energy Shirley Lansing and others are.
Historically, "Rocky" won the Best Picture Award under the operation of MGM, and the rest were all for the life of running. Wu Cheng estimated that "Rocky" would be lost if he fell into his hands! But he also wanted to know how big the gap is between his company and others.
Don’t say that there is no insider in the Oscars, they even have insider in the presidential election!
Donglong International is trying out the waters in Hollywood, first "Rocky", then "Home Imperial", and finally for next year's "Star Wars". Even if the first two films are not satisfactory, as long as "Star Wars" can shine as long as "Star Wars" can shine as it should, he will not lose.
But thinking about it, Wu Cheng thinks that Hollywood theater businessmen are probably tempted by money. As long as the film can make money, they are not afraid that they will not add screens.
Moreover, "Rocky" and "The Little Owner" have both potential for big sales. If "The Little Owner" may not be accepted because it is ahead of the curve, then "Rocky" will have no problem at all. Unlike previous lives, it is just that the production company has changed.
If you just change these two items, the box office will be poor, and then you can only say that it is "the crime of non-war".
Lansing is preparing to hold a premiere for "Rocky", which can be promoted and gained fame for Donglong International's Hollywood branch.
She asked Wu Cheng if she wanted to attend the premiere of "Rocky", and Wu Cheng felt that she seemed to have to go there. After all, he is the big boss of the film company.
When you give your film company fame, it seems a bit unreasonable if you don’t show up, just like walking in a night out. Moreover, when you go to Hollywood, you can also give your headquarters in Xiangjiang a fame. No matter what, Donglong International has entered Hollywood. In this way, Donglong International has become the No. 1 film company in Xiangjiang, which is almost effortless.
After finishing the call with Lansing, Wu Cheng called Lin Qingxia and Deng Lijun, hoping to see if they had time to go to Hollywood to play and improve their fame.
As a result, Lin Qingxia was filming, while Deng Lijun was preparing for a concert in Nanyang.
When he returned to the Repulse Bay Villa in the evening, Wu Cheng asked Zhao Yazhi if he could take some time in two days and go to Hollywood with him. Zhao Yazhi was a little surprised and said, "What are you doing?"
Wu Cheng picked up chopsticks for Zhou Huimin who was squeezing food, and said, "The movie invested by our Donglong International branch in Hollywood is released, and we are preparing to hold a premiere. As the boss of Donglong International, I must go there. And you are the boss of the company..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Zhao Yazhi gave him a blank look, as if he was covering his ears and stealing the bell.
Wu Cheng chuckled, looked at Zhou Huimin, who was staring at the side with his starry eyes, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Min, Brother Cheng asks you, do you think your sister Zhi is Brother Cheng's wife?"
Aunt Chen couldn't help but smile when she saw Wu Cheng's appearance of being charming and Zhao Yazhi's shy look. In her opinion, the couple in front of her could be said to be the golden boy and jade girl, and she was the most incomparable!
However, she certainly never expected that in her eyes, Wu Cheng, who was very reliable, would put his ideas on her daughter who was less than ten years old. If she knew, she would not know what she would think.
Zhou Huimin looked at Zhao Yazhi with some ignorance, then looked at Wu Cheng, and then asked: "Brother Cheng, what is your wife?"
“…”
Seeing Wu Cheng's embarrassing look, Zhao Yazhi couldn't help but chuckled, then picked up a dish for Zhou Huimin and said, "Xiao Min is so good! Let's have a meal!"
Wu Cheng didn't know whether Zhou Huimin was really or fake, but obviously, he couldn't ask her any questions like this. So he had to look at Zhao Yazhi and said, "Just tell me directly, just whether you want to go or not! I'll handle other things!"
"Brother Cheng, where is Hollywood? Is it fun?" Zhou Huimin asked with curious look on her face.
When Zhou's mother, Aunt Chen, heard this, she couldn't help but glared at her daughter. Wu Cheng was willing to let the mother and daughter sit down and have dinner with them, which was already very proud of their mother and daughter. But recently her daughter is getting more and more courageous, and it seems that she really regards this place as her home, which makes her a little worried.
Wu Cheng smiled and stopped Aunt Chen's scolding, and said, "Hollywood! It's a very fun place for you children! However, for some adults who want to find things there, it's not a good place! Well, when you grow up, Brother Cheng will take you there to play and let you go and see if that place is good!"
"Okay! Then Brother Cheng, don't forget!"
"I won't forget, eat!"
Wu Cheng said, picking her up another dish, and then looking at Zhao Yazhi.
Zhao Yazhi had no choice but to say helplessly, "Okay, you can do it!"
Wu Cheng clenched his fists excitedly and smiled, "Okay, I'll make arrangements when I look back!"
...
On the morning of November 18, Wu Cheng pulled his suitcase, took Zhao Yazhi, Hong Jinbao and Shenglong on the plane to Los Angeles.
Donglong International's branch in Hollywood was not afraid to continue investing in Hong Jinbao and others, so it was renamed "Dream Factory" by Wu Cheng. Wu Cheng had already arranged for Lansing to deal with this matter.
Although Hong Jinbao and Shenglong had no shares in "Dreamworks", they felt that they would enter Hollywood sooner or later. Therefore, Wu Cheng just mentioned it slightly and asked Hong Jinbao if he would go to Hollywood to have fun, and Hong Jinbao agreed.
Originally, Wu Chengxian left, but Hong Jinbao felt that since he wanted to play, he would play for a few more days. Anyway, he had all come out, and it would not take those two or three days.
There were no bodyguards who were huddling, nor did the reporters who surrounded them. The entertainment journalists of this period were not as crazy as later generations. Wu Cheng and his friends did not attract much attention when they traveled.
Shenglong's companion made Wu Cheng feel helpless. This guy was just a troublemaker. Who knew what he was nervous about, and he actually came over to join in the fun by himself.
"A Cheng, you are so unkind. Go to Holi to live happily. Call me Senior Brother, but don't call me!"
As soon as they met, Shenglong accused Wu Cheng and felt that he was very wronged.
Wu Cheng rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Have you finished filming your 'Zhuo Er'?"
One sentence made Shenglong shrank his head in embarrassment and said with a smirk: "Although it hasn't been, it's been filmed nearly one-third of it. It just so happened that the Dragon and Tiger martial artists on the crew were all injured in the past two days. Director Yuan gave us a few days off, hehehe..."
When talking about Shenglong, Hong Jinbao was helpless. Among the few junior brothers and sisters, he was the most shameless and the thickest. Hong Jinbao had no choice but to take him. Thinking that Wu Cheng could educate him, he found that Wu Cheng seemed to have no choice but to do anything to him, so he had to let him go.
It’s not that Wu Cheng really can’t do anything about Shenglong. After all, Shenglong at this time is not the future big brother in the film industry. Wu Chengruo really wants to punish him, so there are ways to do so.
But if you think about it carefully, this film elder brother in later generations has such a temperament, and it is useless to mess with him. He can only make him feel resentful to him. Since that's the case, it's better to let him go.
Anyway, just don’t cause too much trouble. Moreover, this guy will definitely come to Hollywood to make a fuss in the future, so now I can let him come out to explore the situation first.
As for the naive idea of Hong Kong films defeating Hollywood blockbusters, Wu Cheng would not have it. But this does not prevent him from visiting Hollywood and going back to order US dollars. If the Hong Kong films are well shot, it is still possible to turn around US dollars to order, just like Mr. Li Xiaolong!
"You want to go out and have a look, I won't stop you!" Wu Cheng looked at Shenglong and said, "But I have to make three rules with you. Don't mess around there. Even if you want to find a big horse, you have to wear a condom for me to save you from getting any deadly diseases..."
As a result, before Wu Cheng could speak, a pain came from his waist. Zhao Yazhi, who was sitting beside him, staring at him with a tiger's face, as if he felt that Wu Cheng's words were too explicit and too ugly.
When Hong Jinbao and Shenglong saw Wu Cheng's mouth twitching, they were also laughing secretly, as if they were laughing at Wu Cheng's search for trouble. When they went to a place like Hollywood where beauties gathered, they actually brought women with them.
Moreover, it’s not good to take who you are, but you even take the main room out. How can you still be happy?
In the eyes of Hong Jinbao and Shenglong, Zhao Yazhi is Wu Cheng’s main wife, and other women can only be considered to be sidelined. Who told Wu Cheng to "living together" with Zhao Yazhi when he came to Hong Kong!
It can be said that Wu Cheng was "supported by Zhao Yazhi!
Why does this word look a bit evil?
So drunk!
