What makes Hollywood awesome is not his big investment and Hollywood stars, but his shooting craftsmanship.

If you have money, you can assemble all the talent and camera equipment needed for the shoot in one day in Burbank, and the script will cost anywhere from $100 to $5,000.

Brother Long looked at everything in the MGM studio. Everything was very fresh. He had not had any movies shown in Hollywood, such as "Enter the Dragon". Although he was a bit player there and only had ten seconds of footage, but at that time

He was very happy.

Take The Killer, for example, but this film can only be said to be made in Hong Kong and distributed by Hollywood. Any distribution of this film in Hollywood has nothing to do with him.

But "New Police Story" is not, it is his first real Hollywood movie.

Hollywood shooting, Hollywood production, Hollywood distribution, and he was involved in many steps in the role of assistant director to learn like crazy.

The cost of the movie also soared from the initial US$4 million to US$10 million.

He never dared to think about this before. In order to make Brother Long famous, all his former brothers and sisters came to the Marriage Class and the Hong Family Class.

Not for anything else, just to make Chinese Kung Fu resound in Americans again.

"Aaron, this shot is good, let's take a rest!"

Upon seeing this, Brother Long first said hello to the rest of his colleagues and then walked towards the director of the crew: "Director James, how do you like this shot of mine?"

James Cameron frowned and carefully reviewed every movement of the camera.

The translator on the side kept explaining Cameron's suggestions to Brother Long and the assistant director Yuan Heping who came from Hong Kong. Yuan Heping occasionally gave advice to the director who relied on the popularity of "Terminator" and "Alien".

Brother Long's fellow disciples around him have long been used to this. As the actual person in charge of Jiahe this time, Sanmao dealt with the crew's problems conscientiously. Occasionally Jerry Bruckheimer would discuss it with him in a gossipy way.

Chinese Kung Fu.

"Senior brother, all of us brothers and sisters have taken advantage of Aaron."

San Mao saw Yuan Kui smiling and nodded: "Yes, if the entire Hong Kong police were really our brothers, the crime rate would not be so high."

"Hey, why do you think that foreigner understands us so well? He actually suggested that we all star in the movie New Police Story. How awesome!" Yuan Kui asked with a gossipy look on his face while squatting in the corner, smoking a cigarette.

Sanmao leaned against the wall and replied casually: "Actually, I don't know the specific situation. You just need to know that this big boss can block all Shaw Brothers' distribution channels in Southeast Asia with just one sentence."

Yuan Kui was stunned when he heard these words.

"So is it true that TV Tokyo and Fuji TV jointly banned Shaw Brothers not long ago?"

Sanmao nodded seriously: "Yes, if this heroine of our crew hadn't come forward, Shaw Brothers would probably have declined."

Yuan Kui poked his head and looked at the parasol not far away.

At this time, Zhou Huimin sat there with a nervous look on her face while her makeup was touched up by a foreign makeup artist. The assistants and translators around her wanted to kneel down and kowtow to Zhou Huimin.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, it's not ordinary."

"What happened to Guan Zhilin? I heard that Aaron and the others came back at that time, but that woman stayed in the United States for another month, and finally brought back a script?"

San Mao curled his lips and didn't say anything, but Yuan Kui's heart for gossip started burning again, and he followed his senior brother crazily to ask questions.

But this time, Sanmao refused to say anything.

When he got tired of being asked, he pushed him to Brother Long. Brother Long, who was resting, saw that it was his senior brother and immediately moved out of a seat: "Senior brother, sit down."

"Aaron, you're welcome, you're welcome, if it weren't for you this time, I wouldn't be able to earn the $400,000 appearance fee."

When Brother Long saw the gossipy expression on his senior brother's face, he couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Senior brother, this place is no better than Hong Kong. Don't pry around about everything. If you really make people unhappy, then we are doomed!"

"It's not easy for me to travel abroad. I'll gain some knowledge when I get out~"

Brother Long kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

He really knows a bit about the big boss of MGM Film Studio.

It was nothing new for Shaw Brothers to be blocked by major TV stations in Southeast Asia. What really surprised him was that the big boss actually relied on the gimmick of competing with Disney.

With a horror film shot in one week, it took over US$60 million at the box office in its first week in North America.

"One Sword Dominates"

In fact, this is nothing. What surprised Brother Long the most was that this big boss could actually coordinate the iconic buildings in New York, the Twin Towers, for them to film.

This is really no longer a category of money.

James Cameron, who was sitting not far away, took a look at the crew's schedule and very generous budget, and looked at Brother Long with envy.

After filming "Alien 2" and successfully receiving 7 Oscar nominations, there was no need for him to come to this crew.

In his opinion, this situation was completely trivial, but he still had to come because Toshi was now the financial backer of MGM, and MGM was the most wealthy film studio in Hollywood.

Under this grim situation, the only one that can mobilize huge funds to help you make games is MGM.

Originally, he heard that for this movie, they originally wanted to find Spielberg, but he refused. Although James didn't know why the old guy refused, he knew that Spielberg would definitely regret it.

A soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier, so James has always wanted to create a "special effects studio" of his own.

But no one in Hollywood except Spielberg and Disney pays attention to this aspect.

It wasn't until MGM announced that it would take a stake in AMD and become AMD's largest shareholder that James Cameron felt that he had once again found a kindred spirit.

Because Peter Lamont announced that AMD, a company that manufactures computers in the United States, will be merged into the film special effects company affiliated with MGM.

From that moment on, James Cameron felt his chance had come.

For this reason, he not only took the initiative to make friends with MGM, but also accepted two movies, one was a "kung fu movie" and the other was a horror movie.

The appearance of "The Night of the Clown" actually made him the box office king in December again.

But this movie, shot in an amusement park, also completely offended Disney, because the entire horror movie is set in Disney's setting.

No matter what game you play or what character you play, you will be hunted by the clown until you kill the last person.

The plot is very simple, but when everyone in the United States knows that MGM and Disney are competing, everyone wants to see whose movie is better.

At present, MGM is better, because they heard that the old guy Caden Warren was hospitalized because of the cemetery built by Tousi near Disney.

It's just that this matter only spreads within a small area.

He happens to be the one who knows.

"Hey, your kung fu is very good, I like it very much."

Brother Long was also very happy when he saw that the great director who was nominated for an Academy Award took the initiative to talk to him: "You can come to Hong Kong when you have time, and I can take you to experience my martial arts gym. It's very good."

"wow."

"When filming Terminator 2, I will definitely ask Arnold to go to Hong Kong and learn two tricks from you, otherwise I will change the protagonist!"

Brother Long burst out laughing when he heard that James Cameron was so funny. The whole set of "New Police Story" was peaceful.

But Tao Xi, who was sitting on the top floor of the administration building of the MGM studio, frowned and looked at old Xie Yin with dissatisfaction: "I told you, Disney overturned the table first!"

Old Xie Yin looked at Tao Xi across from him with a troubled face, not knowing what to say.

The thing is actually very simple, that is, the shareholders behind Disney can't sit still. They need to ask Tao Xi to stop his behavior. If Tao Xi continues like this, Disney will go bankrupt and his century-old foundation will be cut in half.

"Tao Xi, I know this matter makes you very embarrassed, why don't we just end it like this."

"They'll make it up to you, and..."

When Tao Xi heard this compensation, his eyes turned green, but he couldn't show his timidity. After all, his money was no longer saved in Wells Fargo Bank. Only he knew whether he had money in his pocket or not.

Otherwise, these damn Wall Street elites will really be treated like dirt by him!

"Old Xie Yin, the reason why I can still sit here and talk to you calmly about this matter means that I am still willing to treat you as a friend!"

"My East African oilfield assets worth tens of billions have been replaced by a railway that only earns a few million a year."

"Now I want to knock Disney down, and you are here to tell me to stop."

"Does America belong to you? Am I your little brother?"

"If you continue to talk about this topic, I might as well ask you to leave."

Tao Xi pretended to be angry while calling Jin Xizhen at the door to come in and send old Xie Yin away.

Old Xie Yin looked at Tao Xi opposite with a gloomy expression.

He knew about the affairs between Disney and MGM, but no one could accept the fact that Disney was defeated by Tao Xi. Disney had existed for too long, and the interests involved were too deep.

It’s so deep that even old Xie Yin, the real controller of Wells Fargo, doesn’t know who their funds have invested capital in.

And Tao Xi sitting opposite him is not an honest person either!

The North American Locksmiths Union has recruited nearly 800,000 veterans in just one month. Even the leader of the Democratic Party was discussing whether it was necessary to recruit Tausi, the union president, into the Democratic Party.

.

After all, at this juncture, not everyone has the courage to spend nearly 100 million US dollars in medical subsidies every month on those big-headed soldiers to win over people's hearts.

"Taosi!"

"It's really hard for me to do."

"What if you acquire Disney?"

"You have now surpassed nearly 80% of the people in the United States."
