Start from 1980

Chapter 759 Bah!
"Boss, we are shooting "Predator", directed by action film director John McTiernan, the actor is action superstar Arnold Schwarzenegger, and the investment is 1500 million US dollars."

This Mr. Su knows that at this time, Stallone has become Hollywood's hottest screen hero with the two series "First Blood" and "Rocky".

As a result, there is a joke in Hollywood: If you want to bring down Stallone on the big screen, you must find an alien as an opponent for him. script.

Allen said, "Another feature film "Wall Street" and a "Broadcast News", the investment of the former one was 1500 million, and the cost of the other one was less than 2000 million."

"Okay, I won't interfere with your filming plan, but I want to arrange some Chinese actors to come to Fox." Su Chen said, "I don't care what method you use, you must let the following screenwriters write their roles.

It would be the best if you can lead the lead role in No. [-] and No. [-]. The worst thing is that you can't be a side character without a few lines, and you can't be a villain. "

Allen pondered for a while, and said: "If it's not the protagonist, I can still arrange it, boss, you also know that it is very difficult for Chinese to become the protagonist in Hollywood."

This is not Allen complaining, but it is true. He has to consider the box office. In Europe and the United States, few people can accept a protagonist with a yellow face.

It is said that in the 80s, Jackie Chan was promoted by Golden Harvest to make beautiful films.

But unexpectedly, what awaited him was not the same flowers and applause as in Hong Kong.

Because in the United States, few people know him, and he has no initiative in choosing the script. After many auditions, he was negotiated for a low-cost movie "The Killer".

But "Killer's Trenches" can only be regarded as a little bit better in Hollywood, and it is only a small distance away from bad movies.

Because Jackie Chan didn't know English at the time, he couldn't communicate with people.

In addition to this, the bigger challenge is that Hollywood's filming method is different from Hong Kong's, and he will not listen to his opinions, and there are no professional actors who can cooperate with his actions, so that he needs to transfer martial arts from Hong Kong.

In this way, he will not be able to give full play to his strengths, resulting in nondescript films.

After "Killer's Trenches" was released, it earned US$110 million at the box office in the first week, with a total of US$852 million. Compared with his works in Hong Kong, it is far behind, and its reputation is mediocre.

At this time, the American audience has not yet recovered from Bruce Lee's fierce style, and cannot accept Jackie Chan's funny and witty actions.

Coupled with cultural differences, many jokes cannot touch the audience.

Although the later "Cannonball Run" was not starring Jackie Chan, it also accumulated valuable experience for him to enter Hollywood.

Although the initial Hollywood campaign did not achieve the expected results, it also broadened Jackie Chan's vision, and since then his works have added many international elements.

It is also because of the Chinese faces like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan who forcibly made their way out in Hollywood, and later more and more Chinese faces were accepted by Hollywood.

Otherwise, in the early Hollywood movies, the Chinese were all treacherous, and all the characters were villains.

Allen was worried that the boss would definitely recruit a few Chinese to play the leading role.

"If you can't get the No. [-] character, then you should be able to get the No. [-] and [-] characters?" Su Chen said, "I will not necessarily ask you to assign the No. [-] character to them, but I hope they can get the No. [-] character when they come here." Equal treatment."

"Of course." Allen said quickly, "As long as it's not the No. [-] actor, the rest can be arranged. I will find a way to arrange it. I wonder when these actors will be able to leave?"

"It's not the No. [-] actor, and you can't lie to me, buddy. I hope you can provide some roles for them to show their acting skills." Su Chen said, "This is related to your bonus. If you do well, the bonus will not be less yours."

"These people will come to Hollywood one after another this year. At that time, I hope you can provide a place to live and security issues."

As soon as he heard that it was related to his bonus, Allen immediately patted his chest: "Boss, I will definitely get this matter done."

Checking the report carefully, there is no big problem, because the company's finances are handled by CFO Bernice.

Shengshi is not a listed company and does not need beautiful financial statements.

As an established film company, Fox certainly makes money.

Take a movie last year, "The Fly" was released in the United States on August 8 last year. The production cost was 15 million U.S. dollars, but it earned a global box office of 150 million U.S. dollars.

And this is just one movie, Fox released several works last year alone.

……

Teacher Su only stayed in Fox for a short period of time, and then went to Fox Broadcasting Company to inspect.

Although this is just a newly established commercial TV network, it has already started broadcasting broadcast network programs, but the programs are mainly movies and entertainment programs, and there is no way to operate news programs.

Barry Diller managed the company well, and Su Chen believed that he would build it into the fourth television network in the United States just like the track of history.

For such a capable subordinate, Mr. Su has never been stingy, and publicly stated that he would give Barry a raise.

To be honest, Su Chen's research on these is far inferior to that of Murdoch, so Barry can only be responsible for all of them.

This is a good thing for Barry, after all, he doesn't like to be told what to do, and the current situation can also allow his decisions to be passed on faster.

Of course, this is also a potential threat to a company, especially to the boss.

However, the TV network has just started, and Mr. Su still has the ability to turn this situation around before something too bad happens.

After staying in Los Angeles for a short period of time, feeding tigers with his body, and feeding a few women, Su Chen set off for Boston again.

This time he couldn't inspect every company.

By the time the group arrived in Boston, it was already mid-April, and this would be the last stop of this trip to the United States.

From the airport, drive directly to Back Bay.

As soon as he arrived at the door of the house, he found that the yard was full of flowers, which was completely different from the scene when he left before.

It looks more beautiful, and not only the yard, but even the house seems to have been renovated.

He came to Boston secretly, and did not inform Miranda and Avril Lavigne.

When I got off the car, I saw the door open, and Miranda and Avril came out of the house at the same time.

When they saw Teacher Su, the two girls froze for a moment, rubbed their eyes again, and then rushed forward to give Teacher Su a close hug.

"Haney, you are finally willing to come and see us. I thought you had forgotten about us."

"Honey, why didn't you inform us before you came? Do you suspect that we have done something to apologize to you?"

The two girls came forward and kissed Mr. Su affectionately one by one.

Huang Ying and Li Ruotong blushed.

I didn't expect the boss to have so many women.

Pooh!
shameless……
