Chapter 1490 - Mixed Up in Hollywood?
Like last year, Xiangjiang's economic malaise has hardly affected the entertainment industry.
For example, the new season of "Xiangjiang Idol", which started in February this year, has received an unprecedented 80 million viewers and has become the No. 1 music talent show in Asia, which is a clear proof of this.
And "The Legend of Deer and Ding", which was broadcast in August, broke the highest number of viewers of 100 million people, setting an unprecedented record.
A large part of the success of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" is that it is the most relaxing one of Jin Yong.
People may not be aware of it now, but those elites on the Internet in later generations, when they were idle and had nothing to do, dissected Jin Yong's 14 films.
They found that most of what Kim Yong actually wrote was tragedy, and he didn't have much hope for humanity.
Count it carefully, whether it is Ling Hu Chong and Xiao Junior, or Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo, or Huang Rong and Guo Jing, or Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu, or Hu Fei and Yuan Ziyi, or Xiao Feng and A Zhu, A Zi...... The fate of these protagonists is actually not good.
But you can't say that Kim Yong is a pure pessimist, because he wrote this "The Legend of Deer and Ding" in the end.
Regardless of the fact that in order to sell books later, Jin Yong wanted to end the tragedy of "The Deer and Ding" several times, and for a long time, "The Deer and Ding" was the favorite martial arts book of young Jin Yong fans.
Wei Xiaobao is not a righteous gentleman, he is a gangster, but he pays attention to loyalty, but he is very lucky, he can turn evil into good fortune every time, and finally married 7 wives.
Such all the experiences have made many young people feel that Wei Xiaobao is actually similar to himself, not as unattainable as Xiao Daxia, Guo Daxia, Sect Master Zhang, and Linghu Shaoxia.
It seems that if you go by yourself, you can also mix into Wei Xiaobao's appearance.
The strong sense of substitution has made "The Legend of Deer and Ding" very popular from the publication of the book to the present.
When Yin Jun adapted "The Legend of Deer and Ding", he put Liang Chaowei's version, Zhang Weijian's version, and Huang Xiaoming's version out and pondered it, gathered the strengths of all families, and finally made the script.
Then there is Xiao Sheng's personal producer, the passionate performances of many stars, and they go to the mainland to shoot at any cost...... These are all powerful pluses.
In the end, the number of viewers of "The Legend of Deer and Ding" exceeded 100 million, and there was another coincidence.
That was the release of "Happy Ghost 2" in those two months, plus the release of the new album of the Happy Boy girl group, and their concerts, all of which triggered a frenzy of pursuit.
It just so happens that the happy girl group has all performed in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", so many young fans have poured into the TV army, contributing tens of millions of viewers.
Therefore, "The Legend of Deer and Ding" has the data of breaking 100 million viewers in so many episodes.
But in any case, breaking 100 million is broken!
As soon as the survey statistics of Nielsen Data came out, Kylin Satellite TV held a celebration party for "The Legend of Deer and Ding" and rewarded the relevant personnel.
The No. 2 actor, Liu Dehua, who plays Kangxi, has become a super student supported by Kylin Satellite TV in the next two or three years.
As for Liang Chaowei, the protagonist of No. 1, he has already broken away from the category of small screens.
Because he not only proved himself in "The Legend of Deer and Ding", he has become a new brother in the field of TV dramas, but also has his own wonderful works on the big screen.
A "Hot Hand Detective", although it allowed Cannes actor and Oscar nominee Zhou Yunfa to prove himself again in commercial films, but also made the fledgling Liang Chaowei shine.
He played an undercover agent, both good and evil, and he seemed to have an evil attraction, and many young male and female fans were directly attracted to him and admired him.
Especially female fans, usually for them, appearance is justice.
Of course, Liang Chaowei is more handsome than Zhou Yanfa, so naturally girls will like him.
A TV series with more than 100 million viewers.
A movie that has grossed more than $300 million.
Together, it is not an exaggeration to say that Liang Chaowei is one of the hottest stars in Asia recently.
At this time, it was rumored that he was going to Hollywood and embarked on a journey to conquer Hollywood, and I don't know how many people were rejoicing about it.
With the reports of gossip entertainment news, everyone knows that Liang Chaowei, like Zhang Guorong, is a good friend of Yin Jun.
went to Hollywood, with Yin Jun's support, Liang Chaowei is going to be popular all over the world!
However, in fact, Liang Chaowei himself did not think so.
Liang Chaowei is a very smart person, but he is also a very self-aware person.
In his previous life, he had no delusional desire to break out of Asia and go to the world.
He just consolidated his basic plate in Asia, and even later, because of psychological problems, he would not take on a drama for two or three years, and lived a leisurely and relaxed life.
Such a person, although he does not have Andy's billions of net worth, is not as tired as Andy.
For example, now, when Yin Jun is practicing for him, Liang Chaowei is not so confident and excited outside.
"Jun Shao, you said that I should go this time, can I do it?" Liang Chaowei said with a little worry as he drank his wine.
"What's the matter, I see that you are still very confident when answering the reporters' questions!" Yin Jun joked with a smile, "Our Asia's No. 1 star, are you still afraid of this?"
"I'm not afraid, I'm just worried about the clash of two cultures, and I won't be able to act in a good movie. Liang Chaowei coughed lightly and said, "Isn't this also a disgrace for us Xiangjiang people and a disgrace for you?"
"You're thinking too much. ”
Yin Jun shook his head, "I'm not asking you to act in a movie like "The Shawshank Redemption", "Mission Impossible" is an action movie that is handsome and cool. You can't be Zhou Yanfa now, but you can still compare to Cheng Long?"
Liang Chaowei hurriedly shook his hand, "Jun Shao, don't praise me so much, I'm far worse than Cheng Long, far behind!"
Cheng Long's new film "Die Hard" has been released worldwide in early September.
This movie, which is an action classic in itself, was very popular as soon as it appeared under the partnership of James Cameron and Cheng Long, which was jointly distributed by Disney and United Arts Films and released on about 4,000 screens.
The box office in North America dropped $62 million in the first weekend, and it also won 47 million in the second week just past, a decline of only 25%, which shows the strong word-of-mouth.
In fact, North American film critics are talking about whether the box office would be 20 or 30 million higher if it was not Cheng Long who made this action movie, but was replaced by another American star, even if it was Eddie Murphy.
But Cheng Long has not only made a name for himself in the United States, but also in the markets of Hong Kong, Asia, Europe and the United States that were released at the same time.
Asia took 200 million at the box office in the first week, which is almost higher than "Hot Hand Detective", which specializes in the Asian market.
Europe also won 20 million US dollars in the first weekend, so Cheng Long's global kung fu star signature has become louder and louder.
From a global perspective, the current number one star in Asia must be Zhou Runfa, but the most popular among the audience must be Cheng Long.
Yin Jun's comparison of Liang Chaowei and Cheng Long is completely a promotion of Liang Chaowei.
"What's not to compare?" Yin Jun smiled, "Wei Zai, your self-motivation is not strong enough. Do you know what Andy would say to me if I was in front of me right now?"
"He will say, Jun Shao, don't worry, even if I don't want to, I will definitely shoot every scene you give me. Liang Chaowei said it casually.
"Haha!"
Yin Jun smiled when he heard this.
This is indeed Liu Dehua's style.
But it's not that Liu Dehua is performing, in fact, he will do it.
Andy, a model worker in the entertainment industry, is not in vain.
"Cheng Long's success is the result of his consistent efforts, and the hardships and injuries he has suffered are not something ordinary people can bear. After laughing, Yin Jun said, "I don't ask you to endure hardships like him, but I also hope that you can represent another acting force in Xiangjiang and go to Hollywood to make a name for yourself, so that those foreigners can see how many types of our Xiangjiang stars are, how good they are!"
"Which one do I belong to?" Liang Chaowei curious.
"Idol action star. Yin Jun said without thinking about it, "Cheng Long, Hong Jinbao and Yuan Biao are all witty action stars; Zhou Yunfa and Liang Jiahui are acting superstars who take the route of powerful performances; you and Andy can become commercial production stars with super popularity and appearance, but they can also play cool." ”
"Then it's good for me to star in some romance films, comedies?" Liang Chaowei shrugged.
"Romance and comedy are good, but they never reach the super-first-class level. Yin Jun said, "Your good friend Zhou Xingchi is a good seedling of a comedy, but you are not, you should concentrate on being an idol action superstar!"
"Xingzai?"
Liang Chaowei was stunned, if it weren't for Yin Jun sitting in front of him, he would definitely laugh.
That taciturn and very wooden star boy is still a good seedling of comedy?
How did Yin Jun see it!?
He wanted to ask, but Yin Jun said something else, "This time you go to Hollywood, and you work with Bruckheimer, he has a lot of experience in commercial film production, you learn more in the crew, don't be afraid of hardships! As long as you shoot this movie well, then in the next 30 years, Hollywood will have a place for you!"
"You say as if I won't suffer. Liang Chaowei patted his chest, "Don't worry! I will definitely take this drama seriously! I can't waste the movie you specially prepared for me!"
Liang Chaowei is not a lazy person.
Although he likes beautiful women and is greedy for pleasure, he is very serious in his bones, otherwise he would not be able to rush to the front line so quickly.
Liang Chaowei can become the leader of the new generation, and it is definitely not just because he has filmed Yin Jun's works.
Of course, Yin Jun knows this.
So he is basically very relieved of Liang Chaowei, and now he is afraid that he will have some communication problems because of poor communication.
As for Hollywood, Yin Jun is even less worried.
It is also their own company, and it is also a gift from Yin Jun to Shirley, the new president of the film division of the North American branch of Kirin Group, they will only pay more attention to it, and they will definitely not neglect this actor from Xiangjiang!
If Shirley Lansing wants to fire her first shot in office, she will definitely support it with various resources.
A super producer like Bruckheimer, as long as you don't hold back, he can make good movies, let alone give a lot of support.
With such good conditions, "Mission Impossible" will definitely be much better than the previous Tom version!
Yin Jun is also looking forward to the fact that Liang Chaowei can rely on this very flattering handsome agent role to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood and pave the way for his follow-up career!
The stars of Xiangjiang, only the more they go out, the more influential they will be!
