Hollywood is the highest hall of filmmakers, and even many actors regard entering Hollywood as the glory of their lives. China also does not lack actors with this concept. They don’t hesitate to go to Hollywood movies to run superstars, play supporting roles, and make soy sauce. I have plated myself like gold.
Zhang Ziyi, Andy Lau, Chow Yun-fat, Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan and others in China's film and television circles (not counted by Jet Li, Gong Li and others, because they are currently Chinese, not Chinese) can be counted as celebrities, and these artists are also I've all visited Hollywood, and the Jackie Chan is undoubtedly his elder brother Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan traveled to Hollywood as early as 1980. Although Jackie Chan was already well-known in China at that time, in the eyes of Hollywood arrogance, Jackie Chan was just an unknown man from the East. I only shot a small production drama "Killer Trench". When filming this drama, Jackie Chan was unable to communicate normally with the crew, let alone with the actors, because of his poor English at the time. "The Trench" did not attract much attention in the United States. Afterwards, Jackie Chan returned to Hong Kong and started his own funny action film journey. It was not until the 1990s that video tapes became popular all over the world. After seeing Jackie Chan, Americans felt that Jackie Chan was a little man hiding a huge amount of energy, so he invited Jackie Chan to Hollywood to shoot a movie. In the fall of 1998, Jackie Chan grandly launched his starring role in Haocaiwu. The first film "The Rush Hour", which seems to herald the beginning of Jackie Chan fever sweeping the United States. Everyone knows the story afterwards. In 2016, Jackie Chan won the Oscar for Lifetime Achievement Award. Although this award has a lot to do with the country's growing strength, no one can deny Jackie Chan's contribution and dedication to Hollywood movies.
Chow Yun-fat, who is respected in China, also launched two Hollywood movies in 1998 and 1999, namely "Standing Killer" and "Fringe Fighter", because American audiences do not like the movie style of Hong Kong-style heroes. As a result, the box office and word-of-mouth of the two films were not very good. Later, Fa Ge did not miss Hollywood, but chose to return to China for development.
Heavenly King Andy Lau actually had signed a contract with an American film agency for three years in 1992, but Andy Lau did not get any chance within three years. After that, the economic company invited Andy Lau to shoot a film with more features. In China, Andy Lau played a prostitute. Not only was the image awkward, but he even licked his toes. On the grounds of insulting himself and the country, Andy Lau directly refused the other party’s shooting request. At that time, Andy Lau’s attitude was that he would rather pay the penalty, but also I will never accept such a role that humiliates myself and the country. Finally, after the expiry of the contract between the two parties, Andy Lau did not choose to renew the contract.
Zhang Ziyi is the first mainland actress to appear in the American magazine "Vanity Fair". Although the international chapter became the Oscar's lifetime judge in 2005, she actually did not do well in Hollywood. Zhang Ziyi once broke the news that she He has also been suppressed many times in Hollywood. Many Asians want to act in Hollywood. Not only can they not get good roles, but they have to halve their pay. Moreover, because of their own personality, they can't tolerate such humiliation by Hollywood. So Zhang Ziyi simply refused afterwards. All invitations from Hollywood. However, with the continuous development of Chinese films and the country, Hollywood’s attitude towards actors from China has improved significantly.
Zhou Xingchi is the originator of nonsensical funny movies. He has never stepped into the door of Hollywood, but he is extremely popular in Hollywood. Hollywood once purchased the rights to "The God of Cookery" from Zhou Xingchi, but learned that Hollywood wants to use the original Chinese ingredients in the script, all The replacement for Western fast food was rejected by Stephen Chow. Later, Hollywood also invited Stephen Chow to film "Dragon Ball" and "The Green Hornet", but for various reasons he failed to meet Stephen Chow's requirements, and was rejected by Stephen Chow. Hollywood did so. With such a Chinese actor who has never stepped into Hollywood, he has closed his doors three times.
