Chapter 662: Ripples
"Yang Chaowei, Zhou Meiling, this Golden Dragon Award-level actor and actress couple partner, was officially designated by Yang Ming as the hero and heroine of his next new film costing 500 million!"
The faction of Yenching Film Academy reappeared, and the young genius director Yang Ming insisted that the male number one of his new films was his senior brother Yang Chaowei, the actor, and he loved the house and Wu, and the role of the female number one was Yang Chaowei's girlfriend Miss Zhou Meiling. ”
"This legendary blockbuster "2012", which will cost 500 million, announced the cast yesterday, it can be said that it is star-studded, star-studded, the Chinese Golden Dragon Award-level actor and actress, and Hollywood superstars have joined forces to perform this blockbuster!"
When Yang Ming held a press conference for "2012" and announced the cast on the spot, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the Chinese entertainment industry.
The media has made countless speculations and interpretations about the actors Yang Ming chose in his new film from different angles.
Most of the media maintained a neutral attitude and reported on the press conference of "2012", although Yang Ming, the male and female leading actors, was suspected of taking care of his family, but the strength of Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling was still recognized in the entertainment industry.
After all, in the outside world, Yang Ming and Yang Chaowei have always been brothers with a very good relationship, and when Yang Ming first debuted, Yang Chaowei took good care of this little junior brother.
not only stood up to Yang Ming in public, but also brought his girlfriend Zhou Meiling to cheer for Yang Ming several times.
And now that Yang Ming has become famous, it is reasonable to shoot blockbusters with his senior brother and senior brother's girlfriend as the male and female leads.
Since ancient times, the most important thing in China is human connection.
Besides, none of the first-line directors in the entertainment industry have their own fixed co-actors, for example, Jing Yongchang, the famous comedy director in the entertainment industry, likes actors he is more familiar with, and in the movies he has directed in recent years, the actor is basically his friend actor.
Therefore, Yang Ming let Yang Chaowei and Zhou Meiling play the male and female lead roles in "2012", which did not cause much turmoil.
Compared with the shock and attention of colleagues in the entertainment industry to Yang Ming's "2012", the Chinese people and countless fans are even more excited and crazy after seeing the cast announced by Yang Ming.
For ordinary movie fans, they just want to watch better movies.
Big scenes, big productions, many stars, a cool movie, this is the most practical idea in the hearts of ordinary fans.
As for what to support domestic films and boycott Hollywood blockbusters, it is too far away for them.
Even some fans pointed out very sharply in the face of these controversies that domestic films are not competitive and patronize to make money, do they still let them support domestic films, and they have to waste movie ticket money in order to support domestic movies?
When many film companies heard the answers of these fans, they could only sigh helplessly and give up their views on promoting domestic films in the media.
Fans are right, a movie shot with carelessness, as long as it is released, you can see that the film industry in China has been too chaotic in recent years, and many film companies are trying to imitate those popular movies, and seize the time to make one or two to make money.
As long as they can make money, the film company can shoot a subject until death.
Yang Ming has a very direct feeling about this.
The two movies he made, "My Sassy Girlfriend" and "The Girl We Chased in Those Years", are both small-budget love movies, and they can also be regarded as campus love.
After his two big sales, several film companies in the entertainment industry launched dozens of campus romance movies one after another this year.
What "My Celebrity Girlfriend", "My President's Girlfriend", "The Girl We Sooccupied", "My Favorite School Flower".
In order to imitate Yang Ming's two blockbuster movies, these film companies gave movie titles that made Yang Ming cry and laugh.
In this regard, Yang Ming has no choice, he can only do his own thing and make his own movies.
Anyway, the announcement of the cast of "2012" is like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples in the entertainment industry and making countless people reverie.
"yes, I see!"
Luo Tianwen hung up the phone with a calm face, and then threw the phone on the coffee table casually, making a bang, ignoring that this mobile phone was the latest model that had just been replaced some time ago.
He slammed up from the couch, walked to the window, snapped, pulled the curtains open, took a deep breath of the outside air, and calmed the endless depression inside.
That kid finally chose Yang Chaowei.
When the news of Yang Ming's acquisition of a film company in Hollywood spread, it immediately attracted Luo Tianwen's attention.
Because he is now taking the international route, but the cultural gap between the East and the West makes his international route not very smooth.
Now Luo Tianwen is in a rather embarrassing situation, because he does not have a film work that can be done in the world, although his status in China is unshaken, but his international influence is much worse, and even a little regressive.
Faced with this situation, he had only two ways, one was to abandon his career in China, agree to Hollywood's request, and devote himself to developing in the West; the second way was that he could take over a film work that could produce enough influence on China's side.
But in the past two years, Huaxia has also received several movies that are ready to be released worldwide, but the results are not ideal.
Although the box office performance in China and Southeast Asia is still as high as before, the box office in the United States and Europe is basically a fiasco, which makes Luo Tianwen extremely disappointed and unwilling.
And because several films have not achieved good results in the West, the film companies in China are extremely cautious and do not dare to invest in large-scale film production.
This made Luo Tianwen even more anxious.
In this way, he can only face the first choice, join Hollywood, and abandon his career in China.
But this made it even more difficult for Luo Tianwen to choose.
You must know that this life is not as good as the previous life, every star in China yearns for Hollywood, and even thinks that only when they succeed in Hollywood can they really become famous.
In today's world, China is extremely powerful, the Southeast Asian film market is the largest rear box office in China, and Hollywood is even more coveted by this Greater China film market, so they also want to invite one or two well-known Chinese stars to join their film production.
It's just that Chinese stars in Hollywood must not be starring roles, they must be supporting roles, or even opposite roles.
With Luo Tianwen's identity and status in the Huaxia entertainment industry, let him go to Hollywood to play a supporting role in the movie, and then go to the Huaxia film market to make money, unless he is crazy, otherwise the Huaxia entertainment industry and the people will definitely spray him to death with saliva.
The national pride in the hearts of the Chinese people in this world is not something to be said casually.
Of course, Luo Tianwen basically doesn't consider the method of developing in Hollywood, he would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail, he is a superstar in the Chinese entertainment industry, and he can't afford to lose this person when he goes to Hollywood to play a supporting role.
Yang Ming's acquisition of a film company in Hollywood, and the invitation of Barber, the former general manager of Pan American Entertainment, of the Hollywood Big Six to join Oriental DreamWorks, immediately attracted Luo Tianwen's strong attention.
Especially when Yang Ming was at the airport returning to China, in the face of an interview with reporters, he announced that the next film production would cost 500 million, which made Luo Tianwen extremely excited and excited.
It seemed as if this opportunity was completely for him.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to forget the unhappiness between Jì and Yang Ming before, and took the initiative to ask his agent to contact Oriental DreamWorks, saying that he could cooperate with Yang Ming and lead the film, and even the salary He hinted that the agent could make concessions.
However, the end result was like a slap in the face, slapping him in the face.
That young man didn't care about his kindness at all, and even ignored his initiative to lower his value, he rejected his kindness and chose Yang Chaowei, which made Luo Tianwen, who had always regarded himself very highly, stand it.
Even, he felt that he was severely humiliated by Yang Ming for doing this.
He looked out the window at the tall buildings, and after a long time, his mood slowly returned to normal, and then he exhaled heavily and turned away, but his face was very unsightly.
Emperor Entertainment.
Bai Chongshi was stunned for a moment after seeing Yang Ming's announcement of the cast news of "2012", and then his expression was calm and there was nothing unusual.
After a few moments, he was lying in his comfortable boss's chair, his eyes slightly closed.
Thinking about Yang Ming in his heart.
I didn't expect the other party to grow so fast.
The production cost is 500 million, and the all-star-level cast is estimated to be a difficult thing for Zhonghuang Entertainment to invest in such a costly movie.
The failure of investing more than 100 million yuan in "The Boy Chasing the Wind" put Bai Chongshi under a lot of pressure in the company.
However, these pressures are not worth mentioning to him, but he is very unwilling to accept this defeat.
Especially in the comparison of such brilliant results in "One Goal to Fame", his failure made him feel even more humiliated.
But Yang Ming's footsteps were too fast, and he didn't expect that after "One Ball to Fame", such a huge formation would be created, which caught Bai Chongshi a little off guard.
Even, it made him feel a little powerless.
If Yang Ming's production cost of this new film is not so exaggerated, even if it is only 2 or 300 million, he will dare to fight with Yang Ming.
But the cost of 500 million yuan really scared him.
After all, business belongs to business, and he can't be angry, after he saw Yang Ming's press conference media report, he felt a sense of helplessness in his heart.
At the same time, the cast of the press conference of "2012" also spread to Hollywood, which caused a lot of impact, but it was much smaller than that of Huaxia.
After all, Manx and Mike are not Hollywood first-line actors, but even so, the two of them plus Barber have attracted a lot of attention on the Hollywood side.
Compared with the cast of "2012", the theme and plot of this movie have attracted more attention in Hollywood.
The topic of the end of the world still has a very large market and influence in the West.
