Chapter 32 Wu Jing came to vote

Then Han Sanping spoke: "The miracle of "Slaying the Dragon" indicates one thing, the domestic film market has begun to integrate with international standards and officially entered the blockbuster era.

In the future, there will be no market for crude and indiscriminate money-making works, and the appeal of celebrities will be limited.

If you want to really attract audiences to the cinema, it all comes down to the quality of the movie.

Finally, I would like to send you an old saying: a thousand things are good, but they are not as good as their own home. Gold and silver cups are not as good as the audience's reputation!"

A celebration banquet was full of joy for the guests and hosts, and when the song ended, Wu Jing stopped Jiang Bai.

"Director Jiang, I want to talk to you. Wu Jing said.

Jiang Bai glanced at him with some surprise, nodded and said, "Come with me." ”

The two went out of the hotel and found a teahouse, and the waiter brought a pot of Tieguanyin, and did not forget to close the door carefully when they left.

"Director Jiang, I want to sign in to your studio. Wu Jing said.

Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you have this idea?"

Wu Jing's brokerage company at this time is HK Gold Entertainment Co., Ltd., which was signed in 04.

At that time, he went to HK and found that he was forced to find that no one in the mainland made action movies at all.

He just thought that HK could have great development, but he didn't expect that HK's rejection of mainlanders was much more than he imagined.

At that time, the directors of the HK department almost defaulted to the unspoken rule, and the leading actors of the film had to choose Baodao or HK actors.

If you can't find it, you can choose actors from Guangdong Province, but it is strictly forbidden to use mainland actors.

In "Painted Skin" in 08, Chen Kun starred in the starring role, which was the HK director Chen Jiashang, who broke the unspoken rules for the first time because of Huayi's strong request.

Regarding this incident, Wu Baige even publicly accused Chen Jiashang, saying that the appearance of "Painted Skin" caused mainland actors to occupy the mainstream of co-produced films, which is his responsibility!

In this environment, Wu Jing's situation in HK can be imagined.

Although the strength image is excellent, he can still only play the villain of the film, or the small supporting role of the third or fourth.

This is also the reason why Jiang Bai only used 300,000 yuan to let Wu Jing star in "Slaying the Dragon".

What really moved Wu Jing was not the 300,000 salary, but the male number one.

For Wu Jing, even if it is the male number one of a bad movie, it is a very rare resource.

However, with the popularity of "Slaying the Dragon", Wu Jing's situation should improve.

In the past 10 years, the HK film and television industry has been in full decline, and in the entire mainland market, the mainland film and television industry has risen in an all-round way.

Therefore, even if the directors of the HK department are grouped together, they have to face the market and make improvements.

Second, "Slaying the Dragon" is very popular, and Wu Jing, as the core starring in it, naturally cannot be ignored in popularity.

It is an exaggeration to say that he entered the ranks of first-line movie stars in one fell swoop, but he is definitely at the forefront of the second-tier movie.

An actor of this level, will HK still not give resources?

"It's hard to put it into words, to be honest, after "Slaying the Dragon" became popular, I made a lot more appointments, and the company also gave some resources.

But there are no good works, and participating in these can only consume my popularity.

Actually, I don't care about the consumption of popularity, popularity is too empty, and for me, the improvement of acting skills and good works are more important.

So it's good if you can exchange popularity for progress in these two aspects.

But the point is that it is impossible to improve acting skills when participating in those garbage bad movies, and it is even more impossible to have good works.

After thinking about it, I feel like I'm still going to follow you.

Traditional martial arts films have been completely eliminated, and no director will shoot them again, and they will not become popular.

The development direction of action movies in the future will inevitably be Xianxia and sci-fi blockbusters that are closely integrated with special effects.

But to make these two kinds of films well, first, the director must have enough ability, and second, the production company must have corresponding resources.

These two conditions are met at the same time, and the only one I can reach is you. Wu Jing said calmly.

Jiang Bai nodded and said: "Since you think so highly of me, then I will naturally not disappoint you, I will let people talk to HK about the contract, and the liquidated damages will be borne by the company." ”

Regarding Wu Jing's refuge, Jiang Bai naturally welcomed it.

This is definitely a potential stock, and in the future, he can not only be an actor, but also a director.

After two more years of training, the "Wolf Warrior" series will be filmed, which will definitely be a cash cow for the company.

"It's just that you know the current situation of the studio, the only work ready to start filming is the "Zhu Xian" TV series, for this TV series, I am ready to direct and act myself, so I can't give you the male number one, but if you don't mind, you can choose other roles at will. Jiang Bai said.

The main reason why Jiang Bai chose to direct and act in "Zhu Xian" was out of influence considerations.

"Slaying the Dragon" has now exceeded one billion box office, shaking the entire entertainment industry, but Jiang Bai's influence is only 800 points.

You know, even the Demon Breaking Ancient Capital has already brought him five hundred points of influence.

In the final analysis, the director has a great influence on the film and television industry, but his influence on ordinary audiences is far less than that of star actors.

Don't you see, those little fresh meat are in a word, and those brainless fans can't wait to die?

Which director can do this!

Therefore, in order to gain greater influence, it is an inevitable choice for Jiang Bai to become an actor.

Of course, he will not give up his career as a director.

After all, the director is the highest end of the food chain in the entire entertainment industry, if it weren't for the director, how could Jiang Bai make himself popular?

What you can do to give authority, but you can't do it!

As for the problem of acting, Jiang Bai is not worried, system skills can solve everything!

Wu Jing shook her head and said, "Actually, don't be so anxious, my contract will expire next year, so I will naturally terminate it then." As for this time, I want to go to the army and experience the real life of special forces.

Do you still remember that at the finale banquet of "Slaying the Dragon", you mentioned that you wanted to make a military action movie and "Wolf Warrior"?

I've been thinking about your words again these days, and I think it makes sense, compared with Xianxia, science fiction themes, or maybe military themes, it is a better development direction for action movies in the future. ”

When Wu Jing said this, she had been carefully watching Jiang Bai's face.

Compared with fairy tales and sci-fi themes, he is actually more willing to make military action movies.

After all, he has acted in military-themed films and television such as "Wolf Teeth" and "I Am Special Forces" before, and the response is relatively good.

It's just that compared to military-themed TV series that barely survived, military-themed movies are really a mess.

At present, no one in the industry is optimistic about military-themed movies at all.

But Wu Jing believes that if Jiang Bai is willing to go all out, military-themed movies may not be able to make box office hits.

After all, Jiang Bai has Hollywood's top special effects resources in his hands, and military-themed movies are the movies that need special effects support the most.

And this is actually another main reason why Wu Jing decisively defected to Jiang Bai.
