Chapter 1130 Li Lianjie's remuneration
Zhang Yimou nodded and said: "The pig's feet we need not only to have good acting skills, but also to have international influence, this is an important criterion for our selection, and you are relatively outstanding in China at this point, but after all, the time to rise is a little shorter, and the international influence may not be more powerful than Li Lianjie."
I won't say much about the relationship between the two of us. Anyway, you yourself understand that if this role is said that you want to take it, it will not be very easy. With an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, there is no room for error. ”
The relationship is a relationship, but it involves his own works, so in such a situation, Ye Ming believes very much that on such a problem, Zhang Yimou will do business, of course, some inside information to himself, and he is already a good friend.
Ye Ming nodded and said, "I understand this, what about Li Lianjie, it should be almost there now, right?"
In fact, when Ye Ming and Zhang Yimou were talking about Li Lianjie, Li Lianjie was also talking about this matter with his friend in Hong Kong City at this moment, this friend of his, and Ye Ming are also acquaintances, that is, Xiang Huaqiao, known as the fifth brother in the rivers and lakes, is not only a big businessman in Hong Kong City, but also acts in movies, and is the eldest brother on the road, so Xiang Hua has a special status in the entertainment circle of Hong Kong City.
At this moment, Li Lianjie has just returned from the United States, saying that he went to the capital to participate in the hero audition, but he himself did not go to Hong Kong City immediately. Because Li Lianjie didn't expect anything about such a problem, in such a situation, he would meet an opponent, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart, so he directly asked his friend to discuss the problem with Hua Qi.
Xiang Hua took out Rafite. One person had a glass, sent it over and said: "Hollywood is the center of world cinema, every move there is actually involved in the situation of the entertainment industry around the world, and the final goal of any star is to conquer Hollywood, but you and Zhou Yunfa finally entered the mainstream media of Hollywood." Why do you want to come back?
If you come back in such a situation, is it a compromise in such a situation, or is it a kind of regression in the eyes of others?"
This is something that Xiang Hua Qian doesn't understand very much, being able to go to Hollywood, such a thing is indeed not something that ordinary people can do, but Li Lianjie has done such a thing no matter what she says.
He came back on his own, and very suddenly. Even if the relationship between Xiang Huaqi and Li Lianjie is very good, they still haven't figured out what is going on.
Li Lianjie said with a smile: "I went to Hollywood with Cheng Long, Zhou Yunfa and others, in fact, it can be regarded as opening the door to Hollywood, but it doesn't mean that we think so refreshingly."
Hollywood is Hollywood, and there is a certain degree of discrimination against us Chinese. Actually, in a situation like this, I don't think I'm very happy to do it there. It just so happened that blockbusters were also being filmed in China.
After I was invited. Directly agreed to audition. It's just that at first, I didn't expect it. Someone will follow me for a role like this. In such a situation, I think it's better to stretch over there first, otherwise, it seems that I want to die and beg them to play such a role, which will show that I am a little more passive. ”
Li Lianjie, in fact, this is a style of brushing big names. Of course, as an international superstar, he also has such a qualification, let Zhang Yimou wait a minute, in fact, he explained a little bit that the plane was delayed or something, even if it was in the past.
But Li Lianjie's is a signal like this. In fact, it is the importance he attaches to this role.
Xiang Hua Qian hesitated for a moment and said: "Are you talking about Zhou Runfa?" I heard that there is such a guy as Ye Ming, needless to say, Zhou Runfa is not your opponent, but Ye Ming is such a person, you are referring to it, he has been very popular in the entertainment industry recently. So, it's such a character that he's going to be your biggest competitor. ”
Although Li Lianjie and Ye Ming have never fought each other, therefore, in such a situation, no one knows which of the two people has the best kung fu, but after all, they are also kung fu.
A reminder like this to Hua Qi is actually quite a simple thing. On such a question, there is no way to cause Li Lianjie.
Li Lianjie didn't regard this person as the same thing at all, but simply said: "Ye Ming, I have also heard of some things like this, this, he does have a certain influence in the world, but after all, he is a novice, so even if it poses a certain threat to me, it does not necessarily mean that I will fail."
It's just that this kind of competition makes me a little unhappy, as if I have to participate in this crew. Moreover, the relationship between Ye Ming and Zhang Yimou is quite good, they are both from the Olympic bid, so these relationships are the most annoying.
These relationships in China are even more important than your acting skills and your fame. ”
As a big star from the mainland, Li Lianjie naturally said very clearly what kind of existence the mainland's related households are.
Therefore, when it comes to this kind of competition, Li Lianjie has no way to compare with Ye Ming, people in the entertainment industry almost all know that the relationship between Ye Ming and Zhang Yimou is very good, and now that Zhang Yimou is shooting blockbusters, Ye Ming is barely qualified to compete for this role, so in such a situation, if you want to compete for the role of Zhang Yimou's movie, Ye Ming must take the initiative.
Therefore, Li Lianjie's worries are not unreasonable. Xiang Huaqi was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect this to be the case, but after thinking about it carefully, he nodded and said: "This is also true, it is really the same thing, this kind of thing, I have actually encountered it myself in the mainland, this is what I said I would not easily cooperate with people in the mainland, sometimes, the relationship is really annoying, but you also have to face this kind of problem in the mainland." So what are you going to do, go directly to Zhang Yimou for cooperation. Maybe you'll lose. ”
If you go, you will suffer, but if you don't go, it may not have a good result, at this time, Li Lianjie is actually in a dilemma.
In Hollywood. Li Lianjie actually didn't say that it was so exaggerated as it appeared on the surface, so on such a question, Li Lianjie thought that he would return to the mainland for development, and he also attached great importance to how his first movie returning to the mainland would be evaluated by everyone.
Therefore, at this moment, Li Lianjie nodded and said: "You still have to go, but how to go, this needs to be calculated carefully, in Hollywood." In fact, it is more difficult to perform a relatively good script, after all, there are many good actors in Hollywood, and what we can rely on is basically kung fu. In such a situation, Hollywood has not many scripts to choose from.
Therefore, returning to the mainland for development is also a good choice, and the first shot must be fired. ”
Xiang Hua Qian said without hesitation: "This is an investment of hundreds of millions. It is unique in the mainland, in the port city. In fact, it's relatively rare, otherwise, you and I will look for our relationship and see how the reaction is there. In my opinion, you're actually the most suitable person for such a role. Whether it's from kung fu or from character modeling. In other words, in terms of fame, it is more appropriate.
Zhou Yanfa looked a little bookish. ”
This can be regarded as a comparative and pertinent evaluation of Hua Qi.
As for Cheng Long, Xiang Hua believes that Cheng Long will not come. Cheng Long has his own movie to shoot, so in such a situation, it is impossible for Cheng Long to participate in this matter.
Li Lianjie pondered for a while and said: "Actually, I also found someone to test it, and I haven't replied at this time, no, I transferred to Hong Kong City, I want to meet with the fifth brother, discuss this issue, and when there is news, I will talk about what will happen." ”
After making a decision, Li Lianjie can't be in a hurry about this matter, after all, it means that on such a problem, Li Lianjie is also afraid of beating wolves. If you leave Hollywood and go to the mainland to shoot, you will feel that you can't get along in Hollywood, and then you will return to the mainland to shoot. But if you don't go back, in fact, to put it bluntly, he doesn't have any representative works in Hollywood at all.
With such a position, he is more embarrassed in Hollywood. The temptation in the capital was actually news soon.
After all, such a thing is not confidential news, and Li Lianjie also has her own relationship in the capital, if it is just to say that she wants to inquire about Zhang Yimou's new work at this time, it is still relatively fast.
Therefore, at this moment, Li Lianjie received a report that Zhang Yimou actually set two people, one is Li Lianjie and the other is Ye Ming, Zhou Runfa is just an alternative, if neither of them plays, it is estimated that this role will be Zhou Runfa.
However, if it is said that the two of them are competing, then on such a problem, the thing is that there is nothing to do with Zhou Runfa.
Moreover, Li Lianjie also got the news that Zhang Yimou's crew is actually more inclined to such a role. At this moment, Li Lianjie's face has been a little gloomy, and finally showed some smiles: "The news over there says that it is more likely to choose me, they need to make a blockbuster, and they need to have a movie with international influence, gloomy, it is more beneficial to choose me." ”
At this time, Xiang Hua Qi also nodded and said: "In this case, it is almost the same, your international influence is higher than Ye Ming, no one can deny this."
It's only been a long time since Ye Ming came out, and the international community is just beginning to get acquainted with Ye Ming.
But you're already a very famous actor in Hollywood.
At least in terms of faces, you're a familiar face in Hollywood. In that case, you don't have to worry about anything, as long as you say that you are willing to perform, then I think Zhang Yimou will not refuse. ”
Although Ye Ming's rise is relatively rapid, but on such a problem, he himself cannot be more influential than the veteran Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, Zhou Yunfa and others, which is a shortcoming of Ye Ming no matter what.
At this time, in comparison, in fact, seniority, at this time is indeed a part of the capital, especially in such a problem, if the difference between the fame of two people is not very large, then in this case, seniority will actually become a little important.
Li Lianjie didn't be happy for a long time, and then said with some regret: "However, I still know a piece of news, that is, the issue of remuneration over there, in such a matter, I'm afraid it's worse than I thought." Although my salary in Hollywood is not as high as Cheng Long, I am also above average among Hollywood stars. However, if I want to appear in this movie, I can't pay that much. ”
Li Lianjie is a little unsatisfactory in Hollywood, but no matter how he says, he is also a rare kung fu star in such a thing, therefore, in terms of salary, although there is no way to compare with Cheng Long, but at least, he is also among Hollywood stars.
Anyway, his salary, in Lethal Weapon 4, is also five million dollars, although that movie is mainly the protagonist of Mel Gibson, but Li Lianjie's salary of five million is not a problem.
Of course, this is talking about his Hollywood salary, and the movie "Wolf Dog Danny" is estimated to be five or six million, but it is a shame for Chinese actors to lose all the face of Li Lianjie at home.
Anyway, Li Lianjie's salary is the highest.
When he was a hero, if Zhang Yimou gave him five million US dollars, it is estimated that this movie will not need to be filmed, basically most of the investment will be given to Li Lianjie, and the rest will not be filmed.
[Hero] claims to be hundreds of millions of investments, but in fact, it is impossible to have so many.
Therefore, Zhang Yimou also clearly indicated a problem, that is, in such a situation, Li Lianjie would not be paid such a high salary at this time, if he wanted to act, it must be a lower salary. (To be continued.) )
