As I said before, Li Changsheng turned Cheng Long's Golden Harvest Company into his company, and Cheng Long became a general under him.
Prior to this, Li Changsheng warned Golden Harvest's general manager, Zou Wenhuai, that there is no need to force Chenglong to go to sea, but to sharpen his head and go to Hollywood for development.
But Zou Wenhuai is not reconciled. After the failure of "Killer's Trenches" last year, he still wants to make "Cannonball Speed" this year.
Li Changsheng originally wanted to veto such a project, but thought about "zero eight zero", it seems that the box office of this movie has received more than 70 million US dollars, so he did not veto the project.
Just let Cheng Long participate in this project like the original time and space.
In the end, Cheng Long had to find out that he was not suitable for Hollywood for the time being.
Another purpose of Golden Harvest sending Chenglong overseas is also the international market, especially North American theaters.
After the failure of the low-budget movie "Killer's Trenches" starring Cheng Long last year, Golden Harvest simply spent a lot of money this year, inviting a bunch of Hollywood stars to produce "Cannonball Run", and let Hu Guanwen help Cheng Long, the king of comedy and the king of kung fu , The lineup is prominent.
The film earned more than 70 million US dollars, becoming the first film solely owned by Heung Kong Company and ranked among the top ten annual North American box office lists. Golden Harvest has also accumulated experience in overseas market development
It's a pity that Cheng Long's role in the gathering of stars was limited, and he lost his own characteristics, so he couldn't compete with Li Xiaolong's deep impression in the hearts of the heroines.
Chenglong also got a little gain from entering Hollywood for the first time, the most important thing is that he broadened his horizons, no longer thought that he was the only superstar in the world, restrained his arrogance after becoming popular overnight, and started to climb to the peak of film art in a down-to-earth manner .
The second is that wherever he goes, he is always mistaken for an island heroine, which repeatedly stimulates his national self-esteem. Later, he always wears a Tang suit wherever he goes.
In addition, in this film, Cheng Long drives a Mitsubishi car, and since then he has cooperated with him for a long time. After that, all of Cheng Long's films use Mitsubishi cars.
There is another talent in Golden Harvest Company, who almost joined New Art City, he is Chen Xunqi.
Chen Xunqi is a strange person in the Xiangjiang film circle. He studied under the musician Wang Fuling at the age of 15. He is only in his early thirties at this time, but he has been engaged in film soundtrack for more than ten years, and he has handled more than 200 films.
There are few talents in Xiangjiang who specialize in film soundtracks. He almost monopolizes this business, taking over half of the soundtracks for Hong Kong movies. He has a lot of income, low pressure, high status, and wide contacts. After a long time, he is not satisfied and has no sense of accomplishment. If I want to make a movie by myself, I often go to Ma Jia's struggle room to join in the fun......
Before he had time to formally join New Art City, his friend Cheng Long who was racing with him cut him off with a sentence: "If you want to be a director, you can become an actor first and learn more." So he went to Golden Harvest.
Chen Xunqi practiced Long Xingquan and Baimeiquan when he was a teenager. When Sammo Hung filmed "The Prodigal Boy" at the end of the year, he tailored the role of a noble son Wu Chi for him. Chen Xunqi played decently, but he didn't Playing, using a lot of doubles and editing. This film made Huang Jinbao win the first Best Action Design Award at the Academy Awards, because the teaching of Yongchun Boxing is detailed and comprehensive, and full of fun. It is much more watchable than Liu Jialiang's film .
Prior to this, Cheng Long himself was sent overseas by Golden Harvest in order to get rid of the harassment of the underworld, and at the same time negotiated with Luo Wei through black and white. In the end, after Wang Yu negotiated a peace, Golden Harvest bought out Cheng Long's contract with Luo Wei Company, and at the same time, Luo Wei was able to piece together a "Laughing Fist Strange Trick 2" with some fragmented clips Cheng Long had filmed before.
Luo Wei was also a great director back then, and successively took a fancy to the three kung fu superstars Li Xiaolong, Chenglong and Li Lianjie.
Later, this pedestrian was too disgusting, and Li Changsheng decided to kill it. .
