Chapter 70: Young Tom (1/8)

The steps of making tea are very particular.

Warmware, tea, brewing and finally pouring tea.

Shen Ming and Yang Xin sat opposite each other, watching the waiter skillfully brew tea.

This is a tea restaurant located in the western suburbs of Shanghai, Yang Xin seems to be one of the shareholders, I heard that Shen Ming has been obsessed with drinking tea recently, so he brought him with him.

By the way, leave a photo, it's publicity...

"How?"

Seeing Shen Ming pick up the cup and take a sip, Yang Xin asked.

“… Good tea. "It's just a little hot...

"You, wait for next year's filming to finish, take a good rest!"

"Well, I know. ”

Shen Ming nodded and looked out the window, there was a tea garden, lush and green, which made people very happy.

"I invested in this place the year before last, and I like the elegance of the environment..."

“… So, you mean no one is coming?"

"The passenger flow is a little less, but there is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding..."

"You don't want me to invest, do you?"

Hearing these words, Shen Ming subconsciously thought that Yang Xin was short of money!

Yang Xin was speechless for a moment, and his face turned red: "You don't have any life pursuits?"

"Yes, make money to support your family and marry a wife!"

"What about the other than that?"

"Take the Oscar, and by the way, revitalize Chinese films. ”

“… Are there any realistic pursuits?"

"It's very realistic to win the award!"

Rolling his eyes, Yang Xin changed his approach: "I think you should also have some personal hobbies and run some side businesses, such as opening a restaurant or running a trendy brand..."

"No, you don't!"

This answer, Shen Ming is categorical, the kind that doesn't need to be considered at all.

Glancing at Yang Xin, Shen Ming continued: "Chen Daoming said before that he wanted to be a doctor, diplomat, and lawyer, but later, he thought that people should live a simple life to be advanced. So, he only did one thing: acting. And took it to the extreme. Now he is a national first-class actor, has won many awards, and has an excellent reputation. ”

"I think it's already difficult for a person to do one thing to the extreme in his life, there's no need to make so much mess!"

Yang Xin smiled bitterly: "If you say this kind of thought, a bunch of actors will die of shame!"

“… So those actors can't compare to me!"

……

Kominsky's character-building of Shen Ming is very successful!

Of course, the main reason is that Shen Ming is a very simple person, and he doesn't like to be exposed to different fields.

Actors just act well, why do they do so many messy things?

Crossover, across your sister's boundary!

Also, parents are not the kind of people who take money very seriously.

When he first became popular, Shen Ming proposed to let his family open a small restaurant in his name or something to earn some fan money.

was directly rejected by his father, the reason is very simple, it's okay if nothing happens, once something happens, it will ultimately affect Shen Ming's personal reputation.

And educated him through...

Celebrities do side hustles, how many are they as successful as Ren Quan?

Most of them are still scolded by passers-by, either the price is too high, or the taste is not good - Xianhezhuang and the two are gathered, and they are very unpalatable, and they are extremely expensive!

Shen Ming acted with peace of mind.

……

"This is an invitation to "Birth of a Dragon", a super 3D film created by Kirin Pictures, directed by Kevin Grout. ”

“… Where's the script?"

"The script is still being written, and they need your nod to get the game done!"

Shen Ming was speechless, there is no script, you are talking about a fart.

and Kevin Grout, who is a Hollywood horror film director, and he directed several films after "Chainsaw", and has never made a commercial film with a large investment.

"You listen to me first, the salary is 60 million, and they are going to invite Xu Zheng, Guan Xiaotong and Lu Han..."

"Xu Zheng, he also acts?"

Shen Ming was stunned, this cast list is too powerful...

"Anyway, that's what the other party said, and they said that as long as you sign the starring contract, they will give you 30 million at one time!"

“… It's a liar, isn't it?"

Brother Ming frowned, how can there be such a painstaking producer, and the actor will give you 30 million if he signs it?

So what if he drags himself out of the group?

Yang Xin smiled: "I guess they want to use your fame to make money!"

This is a new way to play in recent years, releasing the concept, and then throwing money at celebrities, dividing the project into several parts, selling it at a high price, and using the reputation of the actor at hand to make a wave of money.

What is the quality of the work?

No one cares, anyway, those who joined in the early stage have already made money!

Will this thing have an impact on the actor's reputation?

Absolutely, but it's not that serious...

"What do you think?"

"I still mean it, it's obvious that the top has to rectify the chaos in the entertainment industry recently, let's not be taken as a typical example!"

"Hmm..."

Shen Ming reluctantly returned the contract to Yang Xin, and then asked, "What's going on lately?

"You don't know yet?"

"Know what?"

"Someone in Hollywood has nicknamed you 'the younger version of Tom Cruise'!"

“… Brother Tom?"

Meizizi, am I as beautiful as Ah Tang?

"Who, so discerning?"

Yang Xin raised his forehead: "What they mean is that only by investing money in you, you can bring double the benefits!"

Many people don't understand why Tom Cruise is so awesome, starting from 1983's "Good Boy is Crazy", after more than 30 years, his films rarely lose money...

I'm talking about very little, not nothing!

Especially from the late 80s to the 00s, "Top Gun", "Rain Man", and "The Mighty Wind" all achieved more than ten times the income of three movies in a row...

At that time, there was a saying in Hollywood that when you don't know how to make money, throw your money in Tom!

It's true, "Cocktail", such an embarrassing plot, still collected nearly $80 million at the North American box office, which is called appeal.

In 93, there was the cross-era blockbuster "Jurassic Park", "The End of the World", which was introduced to China the following year to open the era of blockbusters, "Sleepless in Seattle", which created a precedent for online dating movies, and "Schindler's List", which was regarded as a guideline by fans, etc., Liang Tang grabbed nearly $160 million at the box office in the mouths of these giants with a lawyer suspense film "Sugar-Coated Trap"...

It's even more awesome than the most popular traffic Xiaosheng!

"Of the four movies you released this year, three of them ranked in the top 20 global box office of the year, "The Fault in the Stars" grossed $420 million worldwide, "Wolf Warrior 2" grossed nearly $900 million worldwide, and now "District 9" has more than $350 million at the global box office, and according to the trend, the landing point will be around 600 million..."

I don't know if I don't take stock, Shen Ming is also a little surprised: "I'm so powerful?"

The twentieth place in the global box office statistics this year is "The New Mummy", with a global box office of $409 million...

"What do you think, "District 9" surpassed "Justice League" on Sunday, suppressing it for four consecutive working days, with a cumulative box office of $160 million!"

"Is Justice League so bad? Didn't Lao Mei go crazy when she saw Superman and Batman?"

"It also depends on the quality!"

Yang Xin continued: "Recently, I was discussing with Warner to see if I could start the "Lethal Weapon" series, if I could, you would be the first starring candidate!"
