Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 452 Hollywood Chinese Gang
After Wrinkle Huai and Zhang Tianzhi greeted each other politely, everyone drove to the ranch.

The ranch is actually only a 45-minute drive from the airport, which is actually closer than going to Los Angeles.

Entering the mid-level manor of the ranch, Wrinkle Huai, Hong Sanbao, and Guo Zhenhua had already stayed at the ranch for one night, but they were still surprised by the size of the ranch.

It only takes 45 minutes to drive from the airport to the small town of Solvang, but it takes 20 minutes to drive from the ranch entrance gate to the Mid-Levels Manor.

Just think about how big this ranch is.

The entire urban area of ​​the town may not even have one percent of the pasture.

When I saw Chu Qianqian, I saw him practicing kung fu on the wooden dummy.

It was like a phantom fist, which made Guo Zhenhua, Hong Sanbao and Zhang Tianzhi feel numb.

The three of them obviously put themselves into Chu Xiangqian's opponent, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that they were incomparable to Chu Xiangqian.

His speed is so fast that when he is hit by a fist, he cannot react at all.

When Chu Xiangqian saw Zhang Tianzhi arriving, he stopped his fists and said to Zhang Tianzhi with a smile, "Brother Zhi, A Huai should have told you on the way here, right?"

Zhang Tianzhi nodded hurriedly.

To be honest, Zhang Tianzhi initially refused to come to the United States to play.

Being famous is indeed a good thing, but Zhang Tianzhi is not short of money now. He works under Chu Xiangqian and has freedom for half a year.

Even if Chu Xiangqian is in Hong Kong Island, he often drives by himself.

He puts a lot of energy into his son and practicing martial arts, and even flirts with a pretty girl.

So Zhang Tianzhi has given up on opening a martial arts gym, but Chu Xiangqian asked him to come to the United States, and Lao Zhang had to come.

On the one hand, Chu Xiangqian is the boss and the financial backer, and on the other hand, Zhang Tianzhi admires Chu Xiangqian's skills from the bottom of his heart.

People who practice martial arts sometimes have simple thoughts. They can't beat you and they don't have the confidence to speak.

Working under Chu Qianqian again, let alone refusing, he didn't even have the confidence to complain.

And if word spreads, his reputation will be completely ruined, and the custodian will be called a white-eyed wolf by countless masters in Hong Kong.

Zhang Tianzhi not only cares about his own reputation, but also the reputation of Wing Chun.

"I have no problem boss."

Chu Xiangqian knew what Zhang Tianzhi was thinking, and said with a smile, "As for kicking the gym, let Aaron and Sanbao do it first. The two of them have always been on the path of action stars.

It's good for them to be famous in the United States.

If you encounter someone you really can't beat, Brother Zhi, go ahead.

And as for the competition, as long as we defeat two or three companies first, the rest will definitely ask for a closed competition.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t play with them both. "

Chu Xiangqian's last words were obviously saying that he didn't want to show his face in front of ordinary people.

It's extremely difficult to monetize traffic these days, so Chu Xiangqian naturally doesn't want to engage in anything that everyone knows about him.

On the other hand, if the benefits are sufficient, it would be no problem for him to enter the ring.

To put it bluntly, apart from satisfying one's own vanity, becoming famous is more about making money.

Zhang Tianzhi felt relieved now, looked at Guo Zhenhua and Hong Sanbao, and secretly thought that these two boys were really lucky.

The boss made it clear that he wanted to make them stars.And Hong Kong is not satisfied with being famous, it has to break into Hollywood.

However, considering that the boss actually spent tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars to acquire a stake in Universal, one of the eight largest companies in Hollywood, he must want much more than these tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Chu Qianqian looked at Guo Zhenhua and Hong Sanbao, "You two should be very familiar with each other. Can you show it to Brother Zhi and me?"

Guo Zhenhua and Hong Sanbao looked at each other and immediately saw what the other was thinking.

Taking off his coat, he looked fat, but his ability to withstand a beating was strong.

Although he is not very tall, he still looks very imposing with his muscular body.

And this world is a movie world, which means that the real fighting abilities of Guo Zhenhua and Hong Sanbao are just like in the movie.

Many fighting actions are not revealed through constant reshoots.

It's not even the slightest bit better than in the real world.

The two of them held back a little at first, but as they fought, they naturally became eager to win.

It was a real punch. The more Chu Xiangqian looked at it, the more he felt that Hong Sanbao had better fighting potential than Guo Zhenhua.

The most flexible fat man, which means that if he can lose weight, his flexibility can be increased by at least [-]%.

And the faster the speed, the increase in combat effectiveness is not just [-]%.

Chu looked forward for five or six minutes and felt a little bored, so he took the field by himself, taking care to beat them both down with a few hits.

But to ordinary people, the two are fighting masters.

Because Margaret took all the servants away, the daily cleaning and cooking in the manor became the work of a few cowgirls.

Seeing the two men fighting fiercely in the open space in the manor, several middle-aged American ladies seemed to have seen God.

Zhang Tianzhi saw the two people getting angry and couldn't help but look at Chu Qianqian.

Chu nodded forward and shouted to the two of them, "Okay, you two bastards, your kung fu has regressed by at least [-] to [-]% compared to a few months ago.

I'll look for Master Hong when I get back. At your age, it's the last five years to improve your physical fitness.

Once you reach your 30s, it will not be easy to stay at your peak as long as possible. "

Guo Zhenhua and Hong Sanbao naturally knew that Chu Xiangqian was right.

After Guo Zhenhua became famous, his mentality was inevitably a bit complacent.

Recently, Hong Sanbao has been focusing entirely on the movie in order to film Good Ghosts and Fighting Ghosts, and he has also skipped exercise.

Chu Qianqian looked at Zhang Tianzhi, "Brother Zhi, I won't do anything to avoid beating these two guys down. You help me beat them up."

Zhang Tianzhi smiled and nodded. When he watched his boss practice the wooden dummy just now, he knew that his skills were the same as before.

As for whether there has been progress, Zhang Tianzhi cannot tell.

He knew before that when his boss fought with him, he didn't show his full strength at all.

But Zhang Tianzhi is still very confident in dealing with Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua.

Sure enough, although Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua are young and strong, Zhang Tianzhi is at his peak now, plus he has a lot of time.

And he never relaxed himself. Even though Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua cooperated very well, Wing Chun was good at short fighting, and Zhang Tianzhi had a lot of experience in fighting with people in the past.

Even black boxing has been done.

When defending with all their strength, if you want to find flaws in Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua, you can always find them.

In just four to five minutes, Hong Sanbao and Guo Zhenhua received several punches and kicks.

However, Uncle Long claims that Xiaoqiang is invincible. The more he is beaten, the higher his potential will be.

He ripped off his vest and punched the air more than a dozen times with his fists. The muscles on his body made people feel full of strength just by looking at them.

Moreover, this guy's skills are actually very fast and flexible. The only drawback is that Guo Zhenhua's kung fu is a bit complicated.

To put it bluntly, he relies on his talent rather than his skills gained through hard work.

But in a life-and-death fight, the opponent will not be like in the movie. He clearly has the chance to kill him, but insists on fighting with him, and is eventually killed.Seeing this, Zhang Tianzhi had to become serious.

"Stop", Chu Qianqian shouted directly, and then said to the stunned Guo Zhenhua, "When you go to the karate gym tomorrow, you should leave all your strength to the little trickster."

Guo Zhenhua couldn't help but nodded in frustration. Chu Qianqian saw that he was not convinced and said with a smile, "Okay, when it comes to a life and death fight, who will wait for you to get angry after being beaten?
No matter how many times you and Sanbao showed their flaws just now, I would have killed you with cruel hands. "

Guo Zhenhua rubbed his head in embarrassment. He really couldn't refute this. Seeing how many beatings he had received just now, he knew that Zhang Tianzhi must have held back.

In the evening, when the barbecue party was held again, Chu Xiangqian was busy chatting with Wrinkle Huai and He Guanchang, asking them to keep an eye on the crew and help him with the trivial tasks that the producer needed to be responsible for.

By the way, I kept an eye on the crew’s expenses and filming.

If you deviate from the script and storyboard, call yourself immediately.

For Wrinkle Huai and He Guanchang, this is the job they are best at.

And with a big boss as a backer, in addition to the male and female protagonists, they can even take care of the director.

After all, the director is just a tool, and many restrictions have been stated in the contract.

Chu Xiangqian was even ready to tell the director to get out and let He Guanchang take over if the guy was dishonest and He Guanchang became familiar with him on the crew.

As for whether He Guanchang will consider going solo after becoming famous.

Chu Xiangqian didn't mind this at all, no one could stop him from going higher.

It's good for everyone to get together and get together easily. Besides, if I push him to make movies with him in the future, it's hard for him to dare to refuse.

As for the director's fee, for someone who is obedient and can make good movies, the director's fee is a little more expensive, but that's the market price.

It's just stupid to try to keep people's prices down.

If you can suppress someone once or twice, can you suppress someone for a lifetime?

Moreover, training a great Hollywood director will be of greater benefit to you.

The directors and actors who will preserve the future of Hong Kong Island all regard themselves as gods.

Then forming a small Chinese circle in Hollywood is, on the whole, a good thing.

As for the Chinese community being the mainstream, Chu Xiangqian had never thought about it.

And compared to a director, management talents like Wuxianhuai are the most worthy of attention.

Once you get part of the rights to Universal Pictures, you can't just keep an eye on Universal all the time, right?

Even Chu Xiangqian was willing to sell some shares to the two of them in the future.

At this time, the market value of Chu's Film Company may be worth several million Hong Kong dollars, and one percent is tens of thousands of dollars.

But a few years later, as Hong Kong films made breakthroughs in Hollywood, it was not difficult to achieve a market value of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

At that time, one percent was worth hundreds of thousands. If the two of them had money, why not sell them less than 5% of the shares?

In another 10 years, the company may be worth hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars, and one percent of the shares will be sold to them for less than 5%.

Not only does it not threaten their control over the company, it also means that the two of them have worked hard for them for ten years and increased the company's market value hundreds of times.

Only got 10% of the shares.

If you don't sell it yourself, in order to attract talents, you might have to give them some shares.

Thinking about it this way, you would be a fool not to sell.

However, if you think about it, you will know that Wuxianhuai's shares will definitely be more than He Guanchang's in the future.

It's not easy to be a director, and its peak period may only be ten years.

Later, you will find that you are increasingly unable to keep up with the times.

This is a law. Whether it is a great director from China or a great director from Hollywood in a few decades, they will all face this problem.

Spielberg may be great, but his era was only in the 8s and 90s.

The peak years of Truck Driver, Lucas, Eastwood, and Coppola were only ten or twenty years old.

But Chu Xiangqian is different. He can completely write all the movies made by these great directors into scripts, and then be the producer himself.

In a few decades, Chu Xiangqian will definitely become a god in Hollywood.

Perhaps in ten years, Chu Xiangqian will become the most powerful person in Hollywood.

In the final analysis, this industry is not about awards or how rich you are, but how many times you succeed.

And success means that you can help film companies make money and actors become famous, and naturally there will be countless capital and actors surrounding you.

This is where power comes from in Hollywood.

While they were chatting about the movie, Simon came over hesitantly and said, "BOSS, can I keep you for a few minutes."

Chu Qianqian looked back and saw Simon nervously rubbing the beer bottle with his hand.

I thought something was wrong, but I didn't expect that this guy represented the parents with children in the ranch and came to ask if they could let their children learn Kung Fu from him.

Chu Qianqian laughed and taught him some basic skills, and there was no problem at all.

Anyway, if I don’t teach, there will be many Chinese masters in the future who will open various boxing gyms in the United States in order to make a living.

Besides, in addition to hard work, martial arts training all depends on talent.

In the videos posted by foreigners on the Internet in the future, the moves are better than those of the Chinese, but in actual combat, you still have to use Wangbaquan.

Moreover, China itself will develop two modes of playing and training in the next ten to twenty years.

The former is used in actual combat and is considered a secret, but the optical method is not practical and is empty-handed.

After studying Sanda for several years, I can’t find a master who can still fight.

Don't look down on Sanda. This is a fighting technique that has taken a long time in China to draw on the strengths of various schools and specialize it in the ring.

And those who practice Sanda will not lack actual combat.

The training method pretends to be good-looking, but in fact it is just a show, just like the performance.

Of course, if you practice for ten or twenty years, you will still have no problem beating a few ordinary people.

Chu Xiangqian shouted to Zhang Tianzhi, and then said to Simon, "Mr. Zhang is a kung fu master. During the competition in the afternoon, I believe you also understand that Master Zhang is strong enough to teach the children on the ranch."

Simon nodded hurriedly, although he did not witness the competition between Zhang Tianzhi and the three of them.

But my mother-in-law and several other women praised Zhang Tianzhi vigorously in the afternoon.

Otherwise, it would not just be Simon and a few other cowboys with children who would come to Chu Qianqian to beg him to teach their children.

But in the entire ranch, anyone who is interested in fighting will come over.

From the bottom of his heart, Zhang Tianzhi did not want to teach foreigners.

He and Master Ye can be said to be two extremes.

However, Chu Xiangqian felt that Master Ye might have to stand up for Uncle Xiao Long.

Lao Ye has not left Hong Kong Island for more than 20 or [-] years after he went to Hong Kong Island. Before Uncle Xiao Long became famous, he had never been seen teaching Wing Chun to Ghost Guy.

To be honest, Uncle Xiaolong did not learn all the skills of Wing Chun under the name of Master Ye.
