Chapter 160 Chapter 159
Jiahe, who just rushed to the street, actually chose to make a comeback, which stunned a group of big bosses. After knowing the partner this time, the big bosses in Xiangjiang were relieved.
Guys in Hollywood are very arrogant. This is the consensus of a group of Hong Kong actors. Jack was still fresh in his memory when he was screwed miserably in a previous movie.
But what he saw now, it's not like that at all here, except for William White, no one on the set dared to go crazy.
"Remember, we are an international company, not those Hollywood rubbish. Anyone who dares to discriminate against me on my set will pack up and leave me immediately." This is what Jack understands, not that these ghosts have changed their temper. This is a huge pressure from above.
"NO, NO, Eddie, there's something wrong with your speaking frequency. I didn't ask you to teach Jack English. I asked you to perform street language, which is the language that guys in Queens use. Be quick and rap."
"Jack, don't listen to what he said. You have to change from stuttering English to imitating him. You don't need to be proficient, it just means imitating."
"Okay, Brother William."
"Okay, all units pay attention, get ready, start."
The crew was built in a hurry this time. If it weren't for William White's confidence, Eddie wouldn't have accepted the film.
"Jack, there is a problem with the design of this movement. What you want to show is dexterity, not fist-fighting with the opponent, and rearranging this movement."
Although the filming was very hard, the eldest brother Chen didn't have any complaints, this is indeed his favorite style.
Others in the company don't understand that the boss wants to shoot like this. You are wrong to say that this is a comedy film. If you say it is a gunfight film, why is there no iron-blooded tough guy?
Well, the boss is of Chinese descent, and he really knows more about Chinese than many old Americans.
Hollywood movies of this era do have stereotyped prejudices against Chinese Americans.
In fact, their descriptions are very ridiculous. This is the same as the Celestial Cuisine in the United States. This is the Celestial Cuisine that you American emperors think. Chinese Americans don't like to eat these things.
When it comes to the status of Chinese Americans in the United States, you really can only describe it as embarrassment.
If you want to be treated equally, you must at least find a spokesperson.
It's a pity that Chinese Americans are not interested in Laomei's election. Anyway, you won't be able to do it for a few years. Even if you are a jerk, you will pass it if you bear it.
Chinatown is a freak at all, many people here really don't speak English very well, because there is no need, everything around him is the same as the Celestial Dynasty.
The most amazing thing is that it is useless for you to know Chinese. Most people here use Hokkien and vernacular, and they can only roughly understand Mandarin.
William White believes that if you want to integrate into American society, you should first demolish Chinatown. Here you can earn more money, and the rest is really meaningless.
Lao Mei always likes to say that they don’t discriminate, but you will find that this kind of discrimination is everywhere in the United States. Let’s say Los Angeles. There is not only Chinatown here, but also Bangzi City. Black buddies and South Americans also have their own. Area.
In such a clearly defined community, if you tell me that it is not discrimination, I am afraid you can only fool the ghosts.
Most of the movies are shot in Chinatown, so there is no problem in terms of safety. Chinese don't like trouble, as long as you don't provoke them, they won't bother you.
As for what kind of movie you make, you can do whatever you want. If it is really good, they will also support it. As for Bruce Lee, there are not as many people who like it as ghosts.
The fighting style that the Chinese like is the kind of elegant and unrestrained, punching to the flesh is too brutal.
Although the main investor this time is not Golden Harvest, the wrinkle tycoon still decided to come and observe. Regarding the luck that other people talk about, the wrinkle tycoon doesn't take it seriously. There is so much luck. Show me a movie with a box office of over 100 million.
After careful observation, he found that White Films was indeed different from others. The atmosphere here was much more relaxed. Although William White was very strict, it was only during filming. As long as the camera lens was not turned on, he was still easy to talk to.
What surprised him the most was that William White didn't mind teaching him something. It was very obvious that Aaron had made money this time, and they did teach him a lot.
"It's time for work, it's time for work." Seeing this scene, Wrinkle Tycoon couldn't help but smile bitterly. White Films' efficiency is high, which is the level of other directors, and the shooting time is also not long.
"Let's go, wrinkle tycoon, let's have a drink together."
"Okay, brother William is working hard."
"Ha, it's okay, this is not Xiangjiang. They can work four hours a day to give the boss face. Don't overdo it, or you will definitely be unlucky."
"Haha, that's true. Killer's Hole was filmed intermittently. I thought they did it on purpose."
"Wrinkle Tycoon, my first films were all made by young people, not much slower than Xiangjiang's. Guess what they said?"
"Shoddy! Listen, you haven't even seen the movie, they've already labeled you."
"Is that so, doesn't that mean you can't make a few movies a year?"
"There are too many film companies in Hollywood, and most of them can't enter the cinema. Why do you want to make so many movies? It takes half a year to enlarge a Star Wars movie. Quality comes first."
Regarding this movie, no one in Hollywood despises it anymore, even if it is a Chinese actor who has just hit the street, they are just envious of this guy's shit luck.
Well, there's also that black boy, it's really weird why he is so popular.
Movies of this era are mainly supported by actors, whether it is Brando or Clint Eastwood, only these big-name actors can support a movie.
White Films doesn't do this, they basically use the street.
Well, it can't be helped, who made this guy good at low-budget comedies.
With the passage of time, they found that this was not the case. Eddie Murphy's salary is not low now, which can be regarded as the price of a quasi-first-tier star. If the dividend income is included, many first-tier stars may not have this income.
The production cost of William White is also getting higher and higher. The production cost of the two recent films is more than 20 million.
From small to big?
It's just that they don't have money. Now that they have plenty of money, how can they make big gains with small things.
Is this the beginning of a transformation?
From Hollywood's point of view, William White is a bit arrogant. Since your comedy films are making so much money, just keep playing.
In fact, everyone is doing this, desperately squeezing the potential of IP, and shooting until the audience doesn't buy it.
The most typical one is Superman. The second part is actually very rubbish. Warner still squeezed it desperately, and finally let this IP come to an end.
Later, he was resurrected again, just because he was greedy for Iron Man's success, but Superman has been played badly, no matter how hard he tries, it will be like that.
If you treat the audience as idiots, the audience will naturally vote with their feet. Superman 2 is trash, but Superman 3 is a piece of shit, all of which are special effects, and the plot is messed up. Spit, no matter how good your shots are, it will be for nothing.
