1480 [One stone stirs up thousands of waves]
After Xia Tian and Long Mayer decided on the plan to invest in "Fate Express", he called back to Hong Kong and wanted to transfer a group of Dragon and Tiger martial artists to the United States.
"Guo Lun, let Guo Zhi bring ten dragon and tiger martial artists to the United States as soon as possible." He ordered on the phone, "I have a chance to ask him to shoot."
"Okay, boss." Tan Guolun nodded immediately when he heard this.
Xia Tian hung up the phone immediately.
Guo Zhi, also known as Guo Zhenfeng, is also Tang Jia's disciple like Xia Tian. However, Guo Zhi became famous very early. He was one of the favorites of the great director Zhang Che in the 1970s. However, as Director Zhang's career declined in the 1980s, Guo Zhi gradually retreated from the front to the backstage and became an excellent martial arts director.
In his previous life, he participated in and directed many movies, such as "The World", "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", "Citi Shaolin", etc. He even came to Hollywood to develop and directed "007: The Empire of Tomorrow", "The Wolf Clan Covenant", etc. It can be seen that his martial arts finger strength is also quite good.
Guo Zhi's martial arts style is very similar to that of his master Tang Jia. He is good at designing martial arts movements based on the shooting environment and the actors' own conditions. Many actors who do not know how to punch and kick can also play well under his design.
For example, Lin Qingxia in "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" was originally a weak female. However, under his design, she became a master of martial arts. She played well and did not show any timidity, which shows his ability.
...
Guo Zhi received the news that when he heard that Xia Tian was going to transfer himself to Hollywood to film, he couldn't help but feel happy.
Filmmakers all over the world want to develop in Hollywood, even those martial arts coaches are no exception. Because they earn US dollars in the United States, their income will increase several times. Moreover, Hollywood protects filmmakers better, insurance, medical care, and benefits are much more formal than in Hong Kong. In addition, Hollywood movies can be distributed all over the world, so a movie can make you famous internationally.
Now he has this opportunity to develop in Hollywood, and his excitement is really beyond words!
"This is really great!" He couldn't help but shouted excitedly.
When others heard that he was going to Hollywood to film, they couldn't help but feel envious and jealous.
"Brother Guo, congratulations, you are going to Hollywood to develop and make US dollars!"
"Brother Guo, you will be the next Bruce Lee! Don't forget your brothers when you become famous in the future!"
"Brother Guo, you are so lucky. Oh, why are I not such a good junior brother?"
Everyone congratulated Guo Zhi.
After hearing this, Guo Zhi felt a little emotional.
He is not the best among the many martial arts of the World Film Company. Yuan Kui and Lin Zhengying are better than him, and even Xiong Xinxin from the mainland is catching up. But Xia Tian only invites him to the United States, and the reason is probably that he and Xia Tian are brothers.
"This junior brother is really nothing to say." Guo Zhi said in emotion.
...
In addition to people expressing joy, some people also say strange things.
"This is unfair. There are so many martial arts commanders in the company who are capable. Why choose him?"
"Don't be too happy too early. Xia Tian hasn't gained a foothold in Hollywood yet!"
"What's this? Is it true that one person can achieve enlightenment? Be careful not to rise up and fall into a big gang!"
Those people's sour words were completely out of jealousy, so they spoke bad words.
...
There are also some people who are disdainful of flattering Guo Zhi, and they are even more disdainful of being the kind of villain who scolds others behind their backs. They just envy Guo Zhi for being able to develop in the United States.
"Brother Sanmao, it's good that we can go to Hollywood to develop." Menghai told Hong Jingbao.
"Some are waiting." Hong Jingbao shook his head and smiled, "When you go to Hollywood to invest in filming, tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars are considered small. How can the company have the money to send us there to develop!"
In Hong Kong, investing more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars is already considered a big production. However, in the United States, this amount of money is not even enough for low costs. Even making rough B-level films costs 40 million to 5 million US dollars.
Although Jiahe has recently embraced summer's thick legs and has a movie fund, he doesn't have to spend money on filming. However, he has to spend 40 to 50 million Hong Kong dollars to send them to Hollywood to film, but he still has no way to catch it.
"Then you have such a familiar relationship with Mr. Xia, can't you let him take you to Hollywood?" Zhong Fa asked curiously.
"Brother, Mr. Xia is a good person, but he also needs to be close to each other." Seeing him say this, Hong Jingbao shook his head and smiled, "To go to Hollywood to develop, such a good thing, people should of course give priority to their own people. Even if we have a close relationship with others, can we still have money to get along with? Why don't they praise their own people and insist on giving us a favor?"
"Uh..." Everyone fell silent when they heard him say this.
"Senior Brother, I would have known it would be great if we went to Tianxia Pictures!" Yuan Hua sighed at this time.
Now Jiahe is getting farther and farther away from Tianxia Pictures. Tianxia Pictures has now expanded its power to the United States, but Jiahe can't even defend Hong Kong.
"Hey, don't say this, you're heard." Hong Jingbao quickly glared at him.
He had also thought about changing jobs to Tianxia Pictures, but Zou Wenhuai and He Guanchang treated him well after all, and morally speaking, it was not right to change jobs. Besides, Xia Tian did not invite him to go there. If he just went there like this, it would be too shameless.
...
After Cheng Long heard that Guo Zhi was going to Hollywood to develop, he was also envious.
He has also gone to Hollywood to develop before, but unfortunately he has not made a name for himself. He starred in "The Killer Trench" and "The Detective of the Viagra".
Although the film "Sky Speed" achieved good results, he only played a small role in it. The outstanding ones are still foreign stars such as Roger Moore and Peter Fonda.
"Guo Zhi is so lucky. With Xia Tian, he can go to Hollywood to develop. Why don't I have such a good junior brother!" Cheng Long said enviously, "A Sheng, can I go find Xia Tian and let him take me to Hollywood to develop?"
"Brother Long, this matter is probably not easy to deal with. Mr. Xia is very close to Boss Zou now. They are allies now, so it is unlikely that they will poach each other." Deng Jingsheng shook his head and said.
Xia Tian is getting closer and closer to Zou Wenhuai and Mai Jia, and has formed an alliance. It is no longer a secret in the Hong Kong film industry. Anyone with discerning eyes can see that Xia Tian wants to join forces with Jiahe and Xinyi City to dominate the Hong Kong film industry and share this big cake together.
In comparison, although Cheng Long is a superstar, the benefits he brings are somewhat incompatible with the entire Hong Kong film industry. Xia Tian cannot part ways with Jiahe for him.
"What should I do then? Is there no other way?" Cheng Long asked anxiously when he heard this.
He has a strong personality and can't stand others above him. Now he's really unwilling to accept that Guo Zhi can develop into Hollywood, but he still has to be trapped in Hong Kong.
"Then unless you can ask Mr. Zou to come forward and ask him to ask Xia Tian, it is probably possible." Deng Jingsheng thought for a while.
