Hollywood Lover

Zhang Dongcheng was thinking in his heart, but laughed loudly on his mouth: "Mr. Xiang, I have admired your name for a long time."

"Mr. Zhang, I found you through Yuan Heping. I didn't expect you to be in Hong Kong. Haha, since I'm here, how can I, as the host, not show my kindness as a landlord? I would like to ask Mr. Zhang to do me a favor. This is an opportunity to treat you to a meal." Xiang Huaqiang said with a smile, but no one could tell what kind of medicine he was selling in the gourd.

"It's okay." Zhang Dongcheng thought for a while, and agreed to meet. He was still full of curiosity about this representative figure behind the scenes of Hong Kong movies.

In addition, the tone of the person is respectful and very polite, so it is hard for me to refuse.

"Okay! Mr. Zhang is really straightforward. The car to pick you up is waiting at the pier." Xiang Huaqiang laughed loudly, and then turned off the phone.

Victoria put her arms around Zhang Dongcheng's waist and asked curiously, "What's the matter? Who's calling?"

"It's a friend from the film industry here. Victoria, let's go back and see what this friend wants to say to me." Zhang Dongcheng smiled and kissed Victoria's face, and whispered softly in her ear, Then, drive the yacht back to the dock.

As soon as he arrived at the pier, as Zhang Dongcheng thought, a stretched Bentley was parked on the pier, and several people in black suits and black sunglasses walked up to him.

"Mr. Zhang? Brother Xiang is waiting at the hotel, please follow us." The leading man bowed down respectfully.

"Let's go, don't keep Mr. Xiang waiting, hehe!" Zhang Dongcheng didn't refuse, but just hugged Victoria's slender waist and got into the car.

"Oh, God, look at their aura, I'm afraid they'll catch us and sell us!" Victoria finally felt that something was wrong, grabbed Zhang Dongcheng's arm, and said in a panic.

"Don't worry, I'm by your side." Zhang Dongcheng didn't pay attention to these domineering Xin Yi'an, and just smiled lightly.

With my status as a Hollywood super director and Victoria's current status as a popular super girl group, Hong Kong is a place with good law and order, so I'm not afraid of them playing any troubles.

"Haha, the super director, the hottest figure in Hollywood right now, the person whom Yuan Heping regards as God, is finally in front of me! Haha!" Xiang Huaqiang grabbed Zhang Dongcheng's hand and held it firmly, with a very low-key attitude. .

"Mr. Xiang, you're welcome. I just happened to be lucky and got a little fame in Hollywood." Zhang Dongcheng smiled and shook hands with him.

"Please sit down, please sit down. Uh, who is this beauty?" Xiang Huaqiang asked Zhang Dongcheng, looking at the glamorous Victoria in front of him.

"Well, my girlfriend." Zhang Dongcheng shrugged.

"Hey, Dayan Horse! Win glory for the country!" Xiang Huaqiang smiled at Zhang Dongcheng and gave a thumbs up.

The two communicated in Chinese, and Victoria didn't understand anything. She just watched the two people in front of her make gestures as if they were dumbfounded, and looked at Zhang Dongcheng suspiciously.

"He said you are beautiful." Zhang Dongcheng smiled slightly and explained to Victoria.

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Zhang Dongcheng and Xiang Huaqiang talked back and forth for a long time, but they still couldn't figure out what he wanted to do when he found himself.

"Mr. Xiang, you are a leading figure in Hong Kong movies. I don't know that you brought me here this time just for these romantic things, right?" Zhang Dongcheng didn't bother to play tricks with him anymore, so he asked the question directly.

Chinese people are good at everything, but sometimes they don't talk to death, and they go around to make people upset.

"Haha, well, Mr. Zhang likes to go straight, so he doesn't have to go around the corner anymore. The biggest thought of meeting Mr. Zhang this time is that Hollywood has finally produced a Chinese super director, so that the world will start to serve Chinese people. Then, I was thinking, can Hong Kong movies take advantage of Mr. Zhang’s east wind and make a big move to Hollywood?” Xiang Huaqiang put down his chopsticks, his eyes shone brightly while laughing, and said that he Most honest thoughts.

"Take my east wind? How?" Zhang Dongcheng put down his chopsticks and asked with a smile on his face.

On the other hand, Victoria couldn't understand what the two were talking about at all, so she could only put all her enthusiasm on the oriental food that almost swallowed her tongue, and didn't bother to think about anything.

"In fact, Hong Kong movies are not as beautiful as they appear on the surface. I guess they will fall into a trough soon. A large number of filmmakers have left, and countless directors, screenwriters, martial artists and outstanding filmmakers have flown to Hollywood. Dong and other famous directors have gone to Hollywood to develop, and superstar actors such as Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, and Michelle Yeoh have also been recruited by Hollywood. Except for Zhou Xingxing who is determined not to leave Hong Kong, more than half of the double Mondays that support Hong Kong movies have gone. " Xiang Huaqiang said He shook his head and sighed.

Zhang Dongcheng just frowned, stared at Xiang Huaqiang's face, and remained silent.

Among other things, Yuan Heping and Michelle Yeoh were dragged to Hollywood by themselves. Could it be that this is going to ask Huaqiang to blame him?

"Mr. Zhang is very popular in Hollywood. Maybe he has a different view on this matter from our authorities. Maybe he will give us a different answer?" Then he said, his eyes filled with anticipation.

He has risen like a comet in Hollywood, and has been a duck to water in the United Kingdom and the United States. He must have a deep understanding of movies and Hong Kong movies.

"The flow of talents is inevitable. Hollywood is unique in its attraction to filmmakers from all over the world. As the world's second largest film export destination, Hong Kong is about to change." Zhang Dongcheng sighed slightly , Originally he didn't want to say so much, but for some reason, he still spoke out what was in his heart.

"Hong Kong film and television products used to be the classic representatives of Chinese film and television culture, and they are unique in the field of film and television in the world. Even if you look at the film and television works in the peak period of Hong Kong film and television today, you can still feel the freshness and vigorous restlessness among them."

While talking, Zhang Dongcheng slowly organized his words, and continued:

But at the same time that Hong Kong film and television once flourished, it already contained huge and essential shortcomings that Hong Kong film and television itself could not make up for.

He imitated Hollywood's industrialization model, but lacked a huge market, abundant resources, numerous talents, and all-round support from the background of a powerful country era.

With only a few million people in the market, the quality and quantity of star actors trained from millions of people, it must be a wishful thinking to compare with Hollywood, which has a population of hundreds of millions, or even the whole world. It reflects the overall low quality of actors and stars, and the narrow scale of film and television interests caused by the small market.

These problems, combined with the unavoidable combination of Hong Kong culture, which is eager for quick success and quick money, and emphasizes business and trade over science and manufacturing, have formed a fatal worry for the Hong Kong film and television industry. Randomly looking at the development history of Hong Kong film and television shows that the types of films are narrow, and the production Roughness, vicious competition, and excessive star packaging have always accompanied the development of Hong Kong's film and television industry.

The 7-day delicacy and Cantonese-language mainstream are just trying to erect the narrow minds of local stars. In the eyes of Hollywood people, it is simply a joke. "

Although Zhang Dongcheng's words were not serious, they still made Xiang Huaqiang ashamed. If someone else said that about Hong Kong movies, he would have jumped up and scolded them back, but who is Zhang Dongcheng?

He is the mummy, the director of The Matrix, who was hyped by Hollywood and became popular all the time. In Hong Kong's terminology, he is like a popular fried chicken! The box office revenue created by his two films exceeded one billion US dollars. This figure, even if all the Hong Kong films in a year or even several years are added together, cannot break through!

"Hong Kong movies can shoot a movie in seven days, but what about Hollywood? He can wait seven years for a good script and a suitable director!" Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help shaking his head and sighing when he thought of the Mummy and The Matrix .

"Hong Kong movies were originally the stars of hope in Asia, but they are tightly locked in their own acre and a half of land. I can't see Japanese and Korean directors coming to Hong Kong to seek gold, and I can't see Japanese and Korean actors. Come to Hong Kong to develop. When you lament that good actors and directors have gone to Hollywood, you don’t use your name card as the world’s second largest film exporter, and you don’t develop a common cultural circle in Asia, but you are like a woman. Stop moving forward!" Zhang Dongcheng curled his lips and said with hatred: "Well, Hollywood is so developed and knows how to attract foreign cultures and talents, but Hong Kong is obviously able to do the same, but it refuses others to join, not even the mainland. Put it in your eyes. How pathetic."

As Xiang Huaqiang listened, he was enlightened, and the difference in vision made him sweat profusely.

Zhang Dongcheng's words can be described as a whip, a bruise, a slap and a slap, and at the same time, Xiang Huaqiang's eyes were staring, and at the same time, he shouted, yes, that's the reason!

"The prosperity of Hong Kong's film and television culture stems from the backwardness of the mainland's film and television culture and Hong Kong's film and television industry taking the lead in the world's Chinese society.

Hong Kong has set a precedent for the great development of the contemporary Chinese film and television industry, and the forerunners have been rewarded for being the first movers, but its congenital deficiencies and acquired hidden diseases are destined to determine him, and he cannot undertake the important task of realizing the rise of Chinese film and television in the world.

The prosperity of film and television reflects the prosperity of a country and nation. Hong Kong can serve as a model for the development of Chinese society, but it cannot become the rising subject.

Therefore, when mainland society grows stronger and stronger, when the mainland's film and television industry develops more and more, and the film and television market becomes larger and larger, Hong Kong's film and television will lose its dominance and leadership. This is a historical inevitability, and it cannot be subjectively changed by some people, or even a certain industry or a certain region. "

These words are categorical, and there is such confidence in his eyes, that everything he said can completely become a reality in the near future.
