Huayu since 1980

Chapter 900 Zhang Guoyi wants to participate in the Strawberry Music Festival (4100+ chapters, please subscribe~)

There are actually only three movie stars who have gone abroad in the Hong Kong film industry and have truly become famous in Hollywood, Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and Zhou Runfa!

Among them, Zhou Runfa is the most special, because both Cheng Long and Li Lianjie entered Hollywood through kung fu movies. Compared with Zhou Runfa's path, these two people have gone more smoothly in Hollywood.

On the other hand, Zhou Runfa’s road to Hollywood was more difficult. In the end, there were not many masterpieces left in Hollywood. Apart from “Anna and the King”, only “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” remained!

The rest basically appeared as supporting roles.

From Wu Jianye's point of view, this is actually a waste of Zhou Runfa's acting skills, although in the history of the Hong Kong Film Awards, Liang Chaowei's winning record is higher than Zhou Runfa's, and it is the same in overseas awards.

But from Wu Jianye's point of view, Zhou Runfa is above Liang Chaowei in terms of pure acting skills and play style.

In Wu Jianye's future planning, Xiangjiang films and domestic films actually complement each other. At worst, in the past five years, Xiangjiang films will be the real representative of China Entertainment's films overseas!

These Hong Kong artists have created influence for Chinese-language films overseas, and when the domestic film industry develops five years later, they can expand their overseas influence more smoothly.

Therefore, Zhou Runfa's stepping out of Xiangjiang is also very beneficial to the entire Chinese-language film.

When Wu Jianye's words fell, Zhou Runfa showed a smile on his face, and said, "Even if you don't say it, I have this idea too!"

Because of Wu Jianye's appearance, Zhou Runfa's last glory in Xiangjiang "God of Gamblers 2" has been released. This year, two movies that Wu Jianye has never heard of have been filmed. Not bad movie box office.

Zhou Runfa, who has achieved success in Xiangjiang and the entire Southeast Asia, naturally wants to go to Hollywood to prove himself.

Especially in the past two years, Cheng Long, who is as famous as himself in Xiangjiang, has already achieved fame in Hollywood, and Zhou Xingchi, a junior, also left a reputation in Hollywood with "The World of Chu Xing" the year before last.

Zhou Runfa still had a lot of thoughts in his mind.

"I heard you're accepting Wei Jiahui's new movie?" Wu Jianye asked.

The reason why the Xiangjiang film industry was able to flourish in the 90s and [-]s was not only outstanding actors and directors, but also many excellent screenwriters, but among these excellent screenwriters, only Wei Jiahui was called the god of screenwriting!

But at this time, Wei Jiahui has not yet reached this point. At this time, Wei Jiahui's more achievements are in TV dramas. If Wu Jianye hadn't appeared, "The Great Times" would be one of the representative works written by Wei Jiahui, and Liu Dehua's version "The Legend of Condor Heroes", Liang Chaowei's version of "Senior Brother Xin Zha", Huang Rihua, Wen Zhaolun's version of "Intolerance".

They were all written by Wei Jiahui.

Later, Wei Jiahui began to move to the big screen, and formed a golden partner with Du Cannon, and co-produced classic works such as "The Birth of a Prefix", "Lonely Man and Widow", "Slimming Men and Women", "Big Guy".

And the movie Wu Jianye is talking about now is actually the first work "Peace Inn" directed and written by Wei Jiahui after entering the big screen!
This movie is also Zhou Runfa's last movie in Xiangjiang. After Zhou Runfa finished filming this movie, he moved to Hollywood.

Wu Jianye has watched the movie "Peace Inn" many times, and he was deeply affected. In fact, in the movie "Eternal Night", Wu Jianye used the movie "Peace Inn" as a reference is set in .

This shows the influence of this movie on Wu Jianye.

But it is a pity that audiences in Xiangjiang in this era don't like movies like "Peace Inn", so the box office of this movie in Xiangjiang is not very good.

But it doesn't affect the classic of this movie.

"That's right. I talked to Wei Jiahui. He has an idea to enter the big screen. The two of us talked about a story. I am also very interested in this story, so I plan to shoot this movie with him!" Zhou Runfa sermon.

Whether with Du Dapao or Wei Jiahui, Zhou Runfa is a very good friend.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "Then wait until you finish this movie, and I'll help you write a script as your first movie in Hollywood!"

When Zhou Runfa heard that Wu Jianye was going to write a movie for himself, he couldn't help laughing. Wu Jianye wrote his famous work "The True Colors of a Hero" on the big screen, and then let him I started a life of cheating in the film industry.

Now that he is about to enter Hollywood, Wu Jianye will still prepare a movie script for himself, which will make Zhou Runfa more confident in his trip to Hollywood!

"Well, then I would like to thank Director Wu first!" Zhou Runfa said with a smile.

Wu Jianye chuckled and waved his hand.

Others looked at Zhou Runfa enviously, except for Cheng Long, of course, although he hadn't got Wu Jianye's script for a long time before, but fortunately Wu Jianye had just said that he would give himself a script, otherwise he would not be happy in his heart. It must be delicious!

Li Lianjie looked at Wu Jianye eagerly, if he said that he had no intention of going to Hollywood, it would be a lie.

Wu Jianye looked at Li Lianjie with a smile and asked, "You want to go too?"

Li Lianjie naturally nodded repeatedly.

Wu Jianye thought for a while, and said bluntly: "Let's wait a little longer. The Hollywood market is not so easy to enter. They are very xenophobic. If two people enter at once, it will definitely cause a backlash. Let's talk about it." Now your status in Xiangjiang is not as good as theirs!"

Although Li Lianjie's development in Hollywood has been smoother than that of Zhou Runfa, in fact, Li Lianjie is indeed among the worst in the Xiangjiang film industry. In addition to Yuanbiao, this is also related to Yuanbiao's reduction in production in the past two years. It is related to the reason why I can’t find a suitable way of acting.

Li Lianjie still has many classic movies that have not been shown to everyone, such as "Letter to Dad" and "Black Man" that made him famous in Hollywood. Now the Hollywood market still doesn't recognize Li Lianjie.

Hearing what Wu Jianye said, Li Lianjie showed a disappointed expression on his face, but it disappeared quickly, and said, "I know Director Wu!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "You don't have to be disappointed. In fact, your style is very suitable for Hollywood action movies, but now your influence in the Hong Kong film industry has not broken the circle. It is only limited to the entire Southeast Asia. Wait until the Hollywood film studio When I notice you, then you will have the capital to go to Hollywood!"

There is one thing that Wu Jianye didn't say, whether Li Lianjie still wants to go to Hollywood to develop, that's another matter!

After talking about the business, everyone naturally enjoyed the wine. The people sitting here were basically the heroes of the wine, and no one was convinced. When it was past ten o'clock after drinking, Cheng Long had already clamored to go to the next round.

But Wu Jianye didn't agree. Although he was going to drink the second round, he didn't plan to follow them to the karaoke hall. He still had the next drinking party to attend.

After separating from them, Wu Jianye came to a food stall, and a man who was as beautiful as jade was already waiting for him.

"Director Wu!" Zhang Guoyan smiled and stood up.

It was Zhang Guoying who made an appointment for Wu Jianye's second session.

"Can you come to this kind of place?" Wu Jianye sat down with a smile. He didn't mean to look down on food stalls when he asked this question. In fact, Wu Jianye prefers such a down-to-earth way of eating and drinking compared to hotel meals. It's Zhang Guoying's popularity, and coming to this kind of place is obviously going to cause a sensation!

Zhang Guoyi naturally understood what Wu Jianye meant, and said with a smile: "It must have been impossible before, but it has gotten better in the past two years, and I come to this place often, and everyone is familiar with it!"

At the end of the 80s, the fans of Zhang Guoying and Tan Yonglin were definitely the two most popular groups in Xiangjiang. In 89, Zhang Guoyi announced his withdrawal from the music scene and moved to the big screen, and the fans were not so crazy.

The current crazy fans are fans of the Four Heavenly Kings!

So the entertainment circle is the most forgetful circle. Maybe you were a fan of you yesterday, but you will fall in love with someone else tomorrow. Such examples abound.

Wu Jianye asked the waiter to hand over a set of cutlery, picked up a piece of chicken, and said with a smile, "I just had a drink with Hong Jinbao and the others, and now I still feel uncomfortable in my stomach!"

Zhang Guoying chuckled: "They are really good at drinking!"

It is obvious that Zhang Guoyi is also aware of the drinking capacity of Hong Jinbao and others.

Then he said: "There will be a friend coming later, Director Wu, you won't think too much about it!"

Wu Jianye also drank a lot of wine at this time, so he said indifferently: "Come on."

Zhang Guoyi's invitation to Wu Jianye this time is actually not for the movie. Compared with Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa and others, Zhang Guoyi sees this circle more clearly, and at the same time has a more thorough view of the so-called Hollywood. After "Farewell My Concubine", Zhang Guoyi received many invitations from Hollywood film companies, but Zhang Guoyi did not agree. He prefers the feeling of shooting movies in Hong Kong and China.

In fact, in the past two years, Zhang Guoyi will indeed take on a lot of films related to China. First of all, next year he will take on the co-production "Midnight Singing" directed by Yu Yutai, and at the same time, he will take on Chen Kaige the year after next. The director's "Feng Yue", and in the following time also took over the filming of "The Red Lover" directed by Ye Daying.

"Director Wu, I heard that you plan to hold several concerts for domestic rock singers in Xiangjiang?" Zhang Guoyi invited Wu Jianye to come over, in fact, for the concert of new rock forces.

Although Zhang Guoyi announced the launch of the music scene in 89, he will actually come back this year for a song. This shows that his music heart is not dead. At the same time, although Zhang Guoyi has not released a rock album, but for rock I have always liked it very much.

Since the beginning of this year, Fengge Media has been promoting the concert of the new rock force, and Zhang Guoyi naturally wants to know.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "That's right, it will be held in Hung Hom in August this year, are you interested?"

Zhang Guoying said with a smile: "If you are interested to see it, it's fine to go on stage, it's not in the same style as them!"

Zhang Guoyi himself knows his own affairs. When he was filming "Farewell My Concubine" in China, he had already listened to domestic rock music, and his style was not at all the same as his own.

Wu Jianye laughed and said, "If you want to see it, there's no problem, buy the ticket yourself!"

Zhang Guoying gave Wu Jianye a white look, "It's only natural!"

"But how did I hear that not only will there be a concert in Xiangjiang, but also a music festival in China?"

Wu Jianye said: "The news is very well-informed. There is indeed such a plan. It has been set up now and will be held in October!"

"That's not all the news I got. I heard that you're also going to perform on stage?" Zhang Guoyi asked excitedly.

Wu Jianye nodded and said, "That's right, I've promised them!"

Then Zhang Guoying said excitedly: "Then how about I go to participate too, I know that not only will you appear on the stage, but you will also invite many foreign bands to participate?"

Wu Jianye nodded, he didn't expect Zhang Guoying's news to be so well-informed, "Okay, I'll let you send an invitation over there."

The Strawberry Music Festival in China is not the same as this year's New Rock Concert in Hong Kong. Although they both focus on rock music, the more important thing for the Strawberry Music Festival is to first increase their influence, and then rock music.

It would be even better if Zhang Guoyi could participate!
"I want to participate too!"

At this time, a slightly low voice from a girl came over, Wu Jianye looked up, the girl was already sitting beside Zhang Guoyi, and this girl was exactly Anita Mui who was as famous as Zhou Huimin in the Hong Kong music scene!
If Wu Jianye hadn't appeared, among the female singers in the Xiangjiang music scene at this time, Mei Yanhao's family was actually the only one. Wang Fei would have to wait a few years, and the others were a few levels behind Anita Mui. .

After sitting down, Mei Yanhao smiled and greeted Wu Jianye: "Director Wu, long time no see!"

When Wu Jianye held the meeting of "The Love Between Humans and Ghosts" in Xiangjiang before, Anita Mui followed Zhang Guoyu to join in the show, so this is not the first time the two have met.

It's just that I saw it in a hurry last time.

"Yes, it's true that I haven't seen him for a while." Wu Jianye smiled and said, "I called Cheng Long if I knew about it."

The heroine of Cheng Long's "Drunken Master 2" is Anita Mui, but in it, Anita Mui plays Cheng Long's little mother.

Mei Yanhao smiled and said, "It's okay, we'll go find them later!"

Wu Jianye shook his head, he definitely won't go, and Anita Mui's visit this time is actually for the Strawberry Music Festival held in China this year.

If it is just a music festival organized spontaneously in China, Anita Mui and Zhang Guoyi are definitely not interested, but now because Wu Jianye is going to appear on the stage, and it is also revealed that Wu Jianye will invite some foreign bands and singers, they will naturally I have a different idea.

If it is really successful, then this music festival will be the highest level in Asia!
Wu Jianye's status in the rivers and lakes is here, how could he invite ordinary singers with his status!
