Hollywood Lover - Chapter 566
Zhou Runfa confirmed the golden age of Hong Kong in the 1980s, and created a number of well-known classic characters: Xu Wenqiang, Xiao Ma Ge, Gambler Zheng Ge, etc. His superb acting skills earned him the title of “God of Acting” in Hong Kong. He is a film superstar in the Greater China region and has great influence in the global Chinese community. He went to Hollywood to develop in 1995 and achieved great success after filming many films, becoming a Chinese film superstar with international influence. One of the hottest stars in the Chinese world.
Zhou Runfa brought the charm of oriental men to the extreme. The famous director Li Hanxiang said: Zhou Runfa is the best actor ever in China. He is Cary Grant + Harrison Ford in the eyes of Westerners, but in the eyes of his Eastern fans, he represents ideals, wisdom, chivalry and insurmountability. [22] (Tencent Online Review)
His performance is natural, unrestrained, and all performances are instinctive. The word acting is just a simple concept for Zhou Runfa, because his appearance itself is an achievement for the film. As long as he stands there, he will become the incarnation of the dreams of thousands of people. Back and side parted hairstyles, windbreaker, sunglasses, natural and generous demeanor, imposing walking posture, explosive expression, passionate body language, cold and sharp eyes, the movement of the hunter in the windbreaker holding the gun And the grandiose style has become the endorsement of cool. His stalwart figure, handsome and masculine appearance and rough and unrestrained personality make him have the temperament of a real king. However, in the eyes of many people, the shape of the mouth is not clear enough, but it provides complete conditions for the diversification of his performances. The crooked smile on the corner of the mouth and the warm eyes complement each other.
Zhou Runfa has a wide range of plays. Some of the rebellious, hippie, or low-level characters he portrays are handsome and elegant, some are ridiculous and embarrassing, and some are hidden, cold and full of emotion. He is especially good at portraying those characters with low cultural level, lack of family warmth, struggling under difficult conditions and respecting the loyalty of the world, and his performances are real and vivid, with both form and spirit.
He is a symbol of an era!
However, this **** of acting in the Chinese world has stumbled in Hollywood and has been unable to make his mark for ten years in a row. Neither “Bulletproof Monk” nor “Stand-in Killer” can bring him above the status of a top Hollywood movie star. Anna and the King only made him famous, but it didn’t help his acting career much.
But at the back, Zhou Runfa really became more and more unsatisfactory, the protagonist was out of play, and all of them were supporting roles.
In Hollywood, he played the supporting role of Captain Sao Feng in “Pirates of the Caribbean 3”, and he was also a supporting role in Huangshi’s children, and he played the role of Turtle Immortal in a trash movie Dragon Ball, and he was also a supporting role!
Even after returning to China, they can no longer be the main characters. Cao Cao in Chibi, and Huang Silang, who makes bullets fly, are also supporting roles…
It really makes people feel that the world is impermanent, no one knows whether they will be popular or not, and how long they will be popular…
“Mr. Zhou, hello!” In any case, Zhang Dongcheng likes Zhou Runfa very much. The Shanghai Bund when he was a child is enough to make him have a good impression of Zhou Runfa, and what Zhang Dongcheng likes most is that he can play any role. actor.
Just like himself, he can make any movie, and Zhou Runfa, who can act in anything, naturally makes him interested enough.
Of course, in Zhang Dongcheng’s heart, there were some thoughts in his heart that he wanted to ask Zhou Run to send a hand. This must be due to the same black hair and black eyes as the two of them.
“Just finished smoking, I wonder if Mr. Zhang has any here?” Zhou Runfa made it clear that he came to chat with Zhang Dongcheng, but made an excuse, with a smile on his face.
“OK, I have it!” Zhang Dongcheng was naturally not stingy, and took out a top-quality Cuban cigar and handed it to Zhou Runfa.
Lighting the cigar, Zhou Runfa just took a deep breath, and then praised: “It tastes good, what brand is it?”
“Aha, the king of Cuban cigars, Cohiba cigars.” Zhang Dongcheng smiled slightly, knowing that Zhou Runfa had come to talk to him, so he started chatting with him about cigars.
It is the king of Cuban cigars and the leader of various cigar brands in the world. If you have to assign a special meaning to Cohiba cigars, it undoubtedly represents dignity and courage, unyielding, resistance, and never compromise. It is a symbol of Castro’s heroic spirit.
The oldest and most well-known cigar brand in Cuba has shown its noble and extraordinary quality from the very beginning. Those who hold Cohiba cigars in their hands are not idle people. They are not only noble and elegant, but also mature and full of courage. They ignore all obstacles and difficulties on the road of life. Their hearts are the highest state of human spirit.
“I didn’t expect Mr. Zhang to have such a deep research on cigars.” Zhou Runfa said with half surprise and half admiration.
“It’s just an introduction from a friend. By the way, Mr. Zhou, you have been in the United States for several years. How do you feel?” Zhang Dongcheng bit his cigar and brought the topic to what Zhou Runfa was most interested in.
“I came to Hollywood in 1995, but compared with yours, my development is not so smooth…” Zhou Runfa shook his head, obviously not very satisfied with his current situation. He didn’t attract anyone’s attention. Instead, he went back to the Chinese world to film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon but got the attention of Americans, which made him a little depressed.
Zhou Runfa came to the United States in 1995, and Zhang Dongcheng came to the United States in 1996. The two were separated by only one year, but the situation was very different. Zhang Dongcheng has soared since he set foot in the United States. The movies are more powerful and more profitable, and Dongcheng Pictures, which he founded, overturned the eight major film companies in just five years, and began to vaguely look like the No. 1 Entertainment Group.
In addition to movies, he has also played TV stations. Several super reality shows have locked the ZDC TV station in the United States, and the Super Bowl and Oscar Awards Ceremony of the Football League have been taken down. This super entertainment group in the Chinese world is taking shape. .
It’s impossible to say that Zhou Runfa doesn’t want to keep up. Anyone who is a little conscious now knows that being able to get on Zhang Dongcheng’s boat will inevitably raise all boats, and it is extremely simple to make a fortune!
“Come to my company. Although Chinese actors are unlikely to make their mark in Hollywood, I don’t think you need to waste your precious time. If this continues, you may not be able to repeat the glory even if you return to the Chinese world.” Zhang Dongcheng Shaking his head, just one sentence made Zhou Runfa a little desperate.
Even the super director Zhang Dongcheng, who has 14 statuettes in hand, is not optimistic about his prospects in Hollywood. It seems that he is really wrong to come to Hollywood to develop things?
“Can’t the Chinese gain a foothold in Hollywood?” Zhou Runfa said sadly…
“It’s actually very simple. When Mr. Zhou is in Hong Kong, do you like to watch plays performed by Vietnamese or Burmese actors? Can they stand out in Hong Kong? Before we Chinese have the right to speak in the world, we have not reached the only one in the world like the Tang and Song Dynasties. It was impossible to gain a foothold in Hollywood as an actor before the height of the movie. Because European and American audiences look at us, just like we look at Vietnamese actors now, and they can’t find a sense of substitution. Without a sense of substitution, how can they expect them to watch Can your movie make you popular? This is a racial barrier, an ideological gap, and an unchangeable fact.” Zhang Dongcheng sighed softly, waking up the lost person on the road.
Indeed, even if Zhang Dongcheng is reborn or can receive future consultation, if he is not a behind-the-scenes director but an actor on the front stage, it is impossible for him to be recognized by Western audiences with his oriental face Yes, it’s great to be a supporting role, and the supporting role will last forever, and there will never be an end.
The level of acting skills, there is no resistance in front of the race, just like what Zhang Dongcheng said, ask yourself, if a Vietnamese actor comes to our China to develop, even if his acting skills are invincible, it will look like he does not belong to China. Will audiences in Greater China accept it?
If you don’t feel happy in your heart, this Vietnamese monkey is not bad…
“Mr. Zhang means that I should go back, go back to Hong Kong?” Zhou Runfa was really distraught. He hadn’t made any progress for six years, so he was naturally unwilling.
“Instead of going back to Hong Kong, why don’t you go to the mainland? You need to know how many people there are in Hong Kong, how many people are there in the whole mainland? You can go to the Spring Festival Gala a few times a year and the popularity will be boundless…” Zhang Dongcheng smiled, his eyes flashed with insight into everything of light.
“Go to the mainland?” Zhou Runfa couldn’t make a decision for a while, and stood there entangled.
“You can think about this matter yourself. It’s a very important matter. I’m just offering some suggestions, but if there is a chance, I really want to cooperate with Mr. Zhou!” Zhang Dongcheng smiled slightly.
As soon as these words came out, Zhou Runfa’s heart fell to the ground. No matter what, he still had a conversation with Zhang Dongcheng today, and his expression did not seem to be lying.
Come to find Zhang Dongcheng, isn’t it just because of this sentence, Zhou Runfa happily passed away, but Zhang Dongcheng looked at his background and couldn’t find a movie suitable for a Chinese actor to shoot in Hollywood.
Seeing that it is a Chinese face, the Caucasian audience will immediately change the channel, okay? Even if it is a movie like RoboCop and Iron Man that can cover the face, as long as the real face is revealed, the excited American audience will immediately be shocked. Is it half way…
This is truly an impossible task…
Since I couldn’t think of it, I simply didn’t think about it.
The night of being so excited that he couldn’t fall asleep finally passed, and Zhang Dongcheng could sleep soundly, but the 27-year-old won fourteen awards for two films, and swept thousands of troops with the power of Lord of the Rings, winning ten awards in one fell swoop. The record-breaking results of the two statuettes became the center of the storm that the major media rushed to report, which could not stop for a moment.
“A miracle among miracles, a symbol of the birth of a new era, Smith Zhang broke the records of Titanic and Ben-Hur in one fell swoop, and won twelve Oscars!” – “Washington Post”
“An unimaginably great director who lived up to expectations, Zhang Dongcheng won the 14 Oscars in the 73rd session, becoming the first and only one in history!” – “Los Angeles Times”
“How many records can he create? The great Smith Zhang subverts all phenomena!” – “Time Magazine”
This worldwide award is naturally not a patent of the American media. On the second day, Zhang Dongcheng’s name resounded throughout the world, and even the Chinese mainland, which has never been very interested in Oscars, made an exception on the night of the Oscars. The channel broadcasts the whole process live, and transmits the live images of Zhang Dongcheng’s Megatron Hollywood back to the land of the motherland, becoming the pride of the Chinese family.
“Smith Zhang, a top student at the London Film Academy, once again shocked the world, winning 14 awards!” ——The Thames, UK
“Double stars are shining, the light of the Chinese at this moment is earth-shattering! Zhang Dongcheng won 14 Oscars, and Director Ang Lee won the Best Foreign Language Film Award. This is the happiness of the whole of China!” – Hong Kong “South China Morning Post”
“The epic history belongs to the Chinese, this moment is unbelievable!” – Taiwan’s “United Daily News”
“All eyes, all expectations, all frenzied, this year’s Oscars belong to Zhang Dongcheng and Ang Lee!” – Huaxia “People’s Daily”
On the newsstands everywhere, holding a lot of statuettes, Zhang Dongcheng with a smile on his face occupied the front pages of all the newspapers, and the words “great” kept coming up.
Great, indeed great, but it only took three months from being great to being scolded.
June in Los Angeles, sunny beach yachts and beauties in bikinis, Zhang Dongcheng is still living a life like an emperor.
In the past three months, Zhang Dongcheng didn’t care about anything, he didn’t care about anything, he threw everything to Adaman, he just stayed with Jessica and Patricia, and accompanied these two pregnant women to live a life in a three-person world , hid in the mansion on Palm Beach, Florida, and accompanied them to visit the rose garden every morning, go to the beach to bask in the sun in the afternoon, and then watch the horses run at the racetrack in the evening. Life is very regular and hapiness.
Zhang Dongcheng has very high hopes for the two children who are about to be born, and wants Jessica and Patricia to give birth to the healthiest and most beautiful baby at all costs. Therefore, the entire hospital production system is staged in the mansion. A total of ten highly skilled obstetricians and gynecologists and nurses are on standby, and even the diets of the two future mothers are specially prepared by nutritionists.
For the sake of these two little guys, Zhang Dongcheng has put in all his efforts, leaving the High School Musical and Dance to Adaman for full control, and he didn’t bother too much.
But now he is back in Los Angeles, temporarily leaving the two beauties who are getting bigger and bigger, because he can no longer hide, he must stand up and support Jack.
As he thought, “The Passion of the Christ” as the director and starring Mel Gibson has caused endless controversy and outcry in the United States. This is a movie that tries to challenge religion.
Jack and Mel Gibson felt tremendous pressure just by announcing the filming plan for the film, because the film was filming the torment that **** experienced twelve hours before his execution, and they always believed that they were behind the **** incident. The Jews who have been blamed cannot accept it at all, and protests from various Jewish organizations in the United States emerge in endlessly.
And when Jack and Mel Gibson were under pressure to shoot and released the first trailer, the whole of the United States was blown up. This storm came faster than ever, and it was more explosive than any topic. The movie received more intense attention.
The Passion of the Christ is currently supported by various churches in the United States, but major Jewish organizations in the United States believe that “The Passion of the Christ” is inciting anti-Semitism, and thus launched a large-scale protest.
“We didn’t murder Jesus!”
“The Jews are innocent!”
“Mel Gibson said that the victims of the Holocaust were included in the very large number of victims of World War II. He, like Hitler, believed that the Jews deserved to be exterminated! Mel Gibson is a lunatic!”
“Jews killed Jesus? Then it is inevitable that we Jews are persecuted all over the world? We almost have no country, we are driven out of our homes, and we are driven like lambs to concentration camps on earth to be slaughtered. Then this is our response to the murder of Jesus. revenge?”
”The director of The Passion of the Christ, Jack, and the lead actor Mel Gibson are guys with bad intentions and ulterior motives. They are not real Christians, they are ambitious people who believe in a slanderous God!”
In the United States now, Jews are the richest type of people, and they have a certain right to speak, but they can’t stand others repeatedly bringing up the murder of Jesus, so Wei Wei who jumped out from various angles The Taoist criticizes Jack and Mel Gibson, cursing that they dare not even read newspapers.
Compared with Zhang Dongcheng’s strong mentality, which is like a mountain crumbling in front of him when facing insults, Jack is much more fragile. This is his first directorial work. , which made him look ten years older in less than a month, and his gray hair was almost completely white.
Meb Gibson is the same. This guy doesn’t want to live anymore. When he was most depressed, he almost jumped out of the window. Fortunately, there was someone nearby who hurriedly dragged him down.
This is a movie of Dongcheng Films, and it is also the first movie that has received so many criticisms. Some people who are jealous of Zhang Dongcheng are even behind the scenes, trying to make this incident the trigger for the collapse of Dongcheng Films. .
But Zhang Dongcheng, how could he agree?
Saying goodbye to Jessica and Patricia, Zhang Dongcheng rushed to Los Angeles to sit in the battle, and when he came to Dongcheng Films, everyone’s heart was relieved. From everyone’s point of view, Zhang Dongcheng It is the representative of omnipotence, there is nothing he cannot solve.
Parade? I’m sorry Jang Dong-seong had already seen it when he was filming the mummy.
Demonstrations? It seems that some clowns also came here before the perfume was staged.
Throw rotten eggs? What are you afraid of? After filming Brokeback Mountain, Zhang Dongcheng was once thrown a carload of rotten eggs, plus a carload of flowers…
With him, there is confidence, and there is the reality of not being afraid of anything!
