Chapter 258: Not Optimistic... (3/5)
Many people say that Zhang Ziyi is awesome, even if she encounters the 'triple gate' and is hacked by the whole network, she can come back with "The Grandmaster" and regain the public's attention...
But compared to her heyday, it is much weaker.
Before the outbreak of the 'Triple Gate', she had a lot of advertising endorsements, such as Armani, Mercedes-Benz, Maybelline, Coca-Cola...
But all of this was lost to her after the 'triple gate'.
Not only that, but because of the moral clause...
International endorsements pay great attention to the reputation of the spokesperson.
For example, Mercedes-Benz has strict restrictions, once a drug and homosexual scandal breaks out, it will be regarded as a breach of contract, and Mercedes-Benz can unilaterally terminate the contract and pursue liquidated damages!
The shelf life of actresses is far shorter than that of male stars, and first-line female stars want to maintain their coffee positions, not only by their works, after all, there are too few real big heroine types in Hollywood and Chinese film industry every year.
Lack of resources means fierce competition, and there may be no way to grab it, the speed of updating the old and the new is fast, and the older the male star is, the more popular he is, and the replacement of female stars is simply a blink of an eye.
Maybe a certain first-line actress has not had outstanding works for just one year, and when she looks back, she finds that a group of small flowers have pounced.
If you want to maintain your coffee position, first-line actresses have several magic weapons, the most representative of which is packaged as a feminist fighter, a luxury brand endorsement and a United Nations charity ambassador, etc.
It is recognized in the circle that as long as there are first- and second-tier luxury endorsements, it will not fall easily.
Therefore, many times the competition for resources is not only for works, but also for endorsements!
This is also the main reason why Da Mi Mi has broken up with a bunch of 'girlfriends'...
……
Hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng turned around and asked the director of "My 24 Hours", who was very interested.
"Why do you care so much about this?"
“… Zhang Ziyi was also on our guest list..."
“… And now?"
"Now she's a little too busy to take care of herself, and no one answers her calls..."
Zhang Junsheng was silent for a moment, and then said: "Turn off the camera first, I'll make a call!"
He wanted to call Wang Shumei, and the two discussed whether to help Zhang Ziyi, or what benefits it would be to help her out.
Yes, Zhang Junsheng admires Zhang Ziyi very much...
It's not that easy to break into Hollywood!
What's more, as the big heroine of the A-level production, even if Xu Yan is hanging, the current "The Legend of Chunli" is only a B-level production...
The barriers faced by the Chinese in Hollywood do not stop at the language barrier.
Since the time of Bruce Lee, Chinese elements seem to have taken hold in Hollywood, but this is not the case.
In Hollywood, there is a strict distinction between Chinese kung fu films or comedy action films, and serious drama films.
Jack Chen, who is best known to the American public, was initially regarded only as a stuntman who could "Chinese kung fu", and their fist and foot kung fu only conveyed and satisfied the Western world's frozen imagination of novel oriental martial arts, but in fact it was ethereal.
Zhang Ziyi's popularity, of course, is one of the reasons - when this oriental face crashes into the big screen, it just satisfies another Western fantasy that needs to be filled.
Of course, success once or twice can be attributed to chance, and three or four times is strength.
Shu Qi pushed down "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" back then, because he was stunned by the training required to play the role of Jade Jiaolong...
If Zhang Ziyi had a qualified PR team at this time, she would have been whitewashed a long time ago...
It's too simple for her to wash her name, apologize publicly, and then make up for the donation at her own expense, and donate the same amount by the way...
If you keep dragging it out, wait to be left behind!
In the circle, actresses compete far more than male actors!
In the original time and space, after experiencing the 'triple gate', Zhang Ziyi's reputation for the international chapter that she had finally gathered was crumbling...
At the beginning, "Snowflake Secret Fan" was looking for her, but she was taken away by Li Lianhua;
Even during the filming of "The Grandmaster", Fan Xiaopang sent a press release several times and said that "Gong Er's role belongs to Fan's, and she politely refused...", uh, to be precise, since acting in "Very Perfect", Zhang Ziyi has been living in Fan Xiaopang's glamorous pressure...
Even if she successfully turned over with "The Grandmaster", every time something happened, Du Niang searched at random, and the first one was 'After seeing Zhang Ziyi's large scale, is Wang still willing to marry her?'
Far from it...
……
Wang Shumei was a little hesitant: "The company currently has Yan Bingyan and Zhou Xun, both of whom are acting + international routes, and Xu Yan is perennial in Hollywood..."
It means that there is no need...
Signing a chapter Ziyi can easily cause internal contradictions in the brokerage company...
The resources provided by a company all year round are limited, and even Yuehua can't get many Hollywood productions suitable for Chinese actresses.
Supply Yan Bingyan, Zhou Xun, Xu Yan is barely able, plus another Zhang Ziyi...
And Zhang Ziyi's age is here, and her potential is almost realized - once a domestic actress is over thirty years old, she will be considered an older actress...
Wang Shumei is not optimistic!
Of course, the main reason why she is not optimistic is because Zhang Ziyi has her own brokerage team, and it is a very unprofessional team, if she joins Yuehua Brokerage, there will definitely be conflicts...
Zhang Junsheng roughly understood: "... So, you mean there's no need for us to sign Zhang Ziyi?"
"She's not something you can sign if you want to... You know how much she's worth?"
“… Then let's do it first, don't contact her, I'll call and ask Tang Ningyu..."
After all, Wang Shumei is only thinking about the problem from the perspective of an agent, and Tang Ningyu will consider the overall situation.
“… In fact, purely in terms of ROI, her value is not high..."
Tang Ningyu is very good at using data to speak: "So far, her movie has the highest box office is "Hero"... I'm talking about the mainland box office..."
"She's a literary coffee and an acting school..."
"But now literary coffee is not worth much!" After a pause, Tang Ningyu added: "Of course you can come out in this matter, but I don't dare to guarantee how many netizens will turn the finger at you!"
“… Not really..."
"Hehe, you can try, and there is a good chance that the stock price will fluctuate!"
Zhang Junsheng was still a little hesitant: "She is very famous in the United States!"
“… Really?"
"Of course, "Memoirs of a Geisha", an A-level production, how many Chinese actors do you think can get an A-level production?"
"That's not good, our main camp is always in the mainland!"
Tang Ningyu hesitated: "Junsheng, if you want to be glamorous with her, I don't object, as long as you take confidentiality measures, but at this time, I don't think it's a good idea." ”
“… What do you think? I'm just... Forget it, hang up!"
