Chapter 7 Downgrade
The character of a bunch of girls in the harem group, Xu Hui probably knows it.
There are ambitious, enthusiastic like fire, there are also quiet like orchids, showing in the heart, and there are more traditional and willing to hide behind the scenes...
In his opinion, Sisi is the girl who is least likely to have any contradictions with him, and she is the kind of girl who doesn't care much about her career.
You can feel her love for her...
The main thing is that Uncle Long's threat has been lifted!
So, this sentence is clearly a joke ...
“… Sisi, do you know what "Wasteland" means to me, or to Huiwen World? Once it is successful, it means that we can participate more in the production of American dramas, and for actors, it means even more, I can't give such an opportunity to outsiders, even if I agree, the company will not agree!"
It is a fact that no company would give such a great opportunity to an outsider.
Although Lao Hu has some friendship with Xu Hui, he is in business, why did he give him such an important opportunity?
"You can let Lao Hu invest by himself..."
“… An episode costs $2 million, how much can he pay?"
According to the production cost, the 12 episodes of "Wasteland" have a total cost of 24 million US dollars, which can only be regarded as a low-to-medium price.
American dramas have advanced by leaps and bounds in the past two years, and the production cost is also soaring in various ways, "Roma" costs 20 million US dollars per episode, and it has also been filmed!
In fact, the plot of "Wasteland" has no particularity, the genre is obviously action-oriented and fighting, if it weren't for Wu Jing's unwillingness, Xu Hui would have wanted Wu Jing to be on it...
Asian faces have always rarely played roles in British and American dramas, and there are not many resident roles, and I have the impression that Yang in "Grey's Anatomy" and Zhou Jinbao in "Super Detective" have more roles.
American audiences can accept blacks and Latinos as the protagonists, but the acceptance of Asians is really a bit low, at least there are really few Asians in mainstream dramas such as idol dramas, action dramas, and legal dramas, and most of the Asian actors they can accept are closer to the appearance of Koreans.
Maybe it's because the Americans have the impression that Asians have single eyelids, square faces, and yellow skin, and if you look for this feature, Koreans do have an advantage - if you don't have plastic surgery...
"Hey, Lao Hu started work in June last year and stopped work for two years to prepare for a drama..."
“… He asked for it, let him leave Tang Ren earlier, he must be disobedient!"
Lao Hu is really sad enough, and he has a strong sense of self-esteem!
The eldest brother Cheng took him and appointed him to star in the TV series version of "Myth", and then "Xinhai Revolution", and also played with Lao Hu.
But Lao Hu is Tang Ren's first brother after all, as a company specializing in the production and production of TV dramas, it is impossible for him to let his first brother be left behind...
In addition, after Tang Ren's rise, he obviously offended many time-honored brands in the circle, and the scripts that Lao Hu can pick are basically screened by people for several rounds, and they are not the male number one...
The most important thing is that "Xinhai Revolution" suffered a big loss!
The total cost is 150 million, and the box office is only 58 million, even if the peripheral income is added, the TV, Internet, audio-visual copyrights, as well as sponsorship and patches are only 30 million, with a loss of at least 100 million!
Lao Hu is not Zhao Youting, Ruan is shocking, people have messed up "Warrior's Gate" and "Blood Drops", there are still a bunch of big productions coming to the door, Lao Hu is not good, as a pure mainland actor, he is excluded and can't get good resources This is the consensus!
Not all mainland actors have connections like Huang Xiaoming!
Of course, if he is willing to leave Tang Ren and hand over the brokerage contract to Huiwen World, even if he is affiliated with Huiwen and sets up his own studio, it is estimated that there will be no shortage of film resources...
It's a pity that if he is willing to leave Tang Ren, he will not be Hu Ge!
"Ugh..."
Sisi sighed, and didn't know how to pick it up...
"What are your plans for this year?"
“… I don't have any plans, if there is a good script, I will take it, if there is no good script, I will shoot commercials, well, do business!"
Well, Sisi cooperates with Yaya to run a purchasing business, basically she is only responsible for investing money, and then taking a share...
This Nima is also called business?
"If you don't have a good script, just follow me, I lack a producer!"
"Producer, I won't..."
"No, learn slowly, I don't think you're stupid. ”
……
Just when Xu Hui and Liu Sisi were all kinds of romance, "New Dragon Gate Inn", which was released for 30 days, was released...
There are too many movies released in the Chinese New Year file, there are two in Huiwen Company alone, "New Dragon Gate" is released, but also to let "The Great Gold Robbery" occupy more film schedules, as of the next screening, the final box office of "New Dragon Gate Inn" is fixed at 1.285 billion, which failed to surpass "The Lion King", but as the first part of the "Dragon Gate" series, it has made a good start.
"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", which was released at the same time, is much more miserable, with a cumulative box office of 490 million in the mainland, and key overseas copyright sales are basically in a stagnant stage, and the North American side is waiting for the final verdict of the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars...
The single-day box office has fallen below 200,000, if it weren't for the Golden Globe Awards, it is estimated that it would have been released a long time ago!
Even so, it is not easy to break 500 million, after all, in January this year alone, there were three Hollywood blockbusters - "Mission Impossible 4", "Sherlock Holmes 2", "Adventure in the Center of the Earth 2"...
In terms of the new crown, Zhang Weipin has returned from North America, and I don't know how he talked to Zhang Yi, but it is obvious that he is making a decision!
Presumably, once the "Thirteen Hairpins" awards season loses, what awaits Zhang Yimou is a series of scandals!
"Boss, the current box office is 492 million, should we push it?"
"Push, push, push, Lao Tzu has no money!"
In order to shoot "Thirteen Hairpins", Zhang Weipin can be regarded as having lost all his family property, and the company and house are all taken out for mortgages, after all, he is not a monopoly...
Moreover, I never thought that "Thirteen Hairpins" really didn't break 1 billion...
At the beginning, his goal was to break the domestic box office record of "Avatar"...
"However, tomorrow is the Golden Globe Awards, if we can brush up on a wave of box office before the Golden Globe Awards, there will be a personal reputation for the box office impetus of "Thirteen Hairpins"..."
"Get out! don't talk to me, get out of here!"
Zhang Weipin directly blasted the secretary away!
Sitting a little depressed in his office chair, staring up at the ceiling.
The new crown company is full of Zhang Yimou's works, starting from "Have something to say" and ending with "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"...
There is also a group photo of Zhang Weipin and Zhang Yimou.
Now looking at the bright smiles of the two on the wall, Zhang Weipin suddenly felt very ironic!
Back then, the two of them also had the sea to wither, the stone to rot, the sky to collapse, the earth to crack, we stood shoulder to shoulder, hand in hand...
"Who am I?"
"You're my Yida... Phew, Yoremi..."
Damn, without Lao Tzu to help you market and make a film, can you have today?
No, you can't just leave it at that!
Thinking about it, Zhang Weipin dialed a phone call...
