Chapter 137: The Storm Stirred by "The King of Black Fighters".
The box office of "The King of Black Fighters" continues to rise, stirring up the entire film and television industry recently.
Odysseyban told Yang Qi on the phone that they officially launched the "Black Boxing King" essay contest to solicit excellent works on the theme of black boxing from authors on the whole site.
Odysseyban's tone on the phone was very high, and the cumulative box office of "Black Boxing" has exceeded 400 million, which means that the millions he invested at the beginning will bring him more profits.
The profits that this millions of investments are about to bring him, it is enough for him to live a very nourishing life without code words for a few years, and recently his peers are envious of him, and their eyes are red, originally everyone is a hard-working coder, making a living by selling words, but now he is a traitor, not only learned to invest in movies, but also to invest in such a box office movie, his peers, whether it is the main god or the second-level author, or those who hit the street, one counts as one, and there is no one who is not red-eyed.
It's easy to get this money!
……
There is also a lot of action in the film and television industry.
Starry Sky Pictures has the fastest action, and has preemptively announced that the company is about to shoot a black boxing-themed kung fu film "Black Boxing", it is said that with an investment of 50 million, the popular action star Wu Zhen has been invited to star, and the heroine of the partner is Xu Ya, the runner-up of last year's Miss Beauty Pageant contest.
Two days later, God of War Film and Television was not unwilling, and joined hands with another action actor Chao Bing, action actress Huo Yingqi announced that she was about to start filming "Black Fist Criminal Police".
On the evening of the same day, the general manager of Cellular Cinema Line made a phone call to Zhao Lili's mobile phone, asking Sister Tao Company if it was interested in co-producing the second part of "Black Boxing" with Cellular Cinema, and the director designated Wen Tongren, and the leading actor was still designated as Yang Qi.
Zhao Lili did not reply immediately, but first called Yang Qi to ask what Yang Qi meant.
In the face of Zhao Lili, Yang Qi did not immediately refuse, because Yang Qi could hear from the phone that Zhao Lili was excited, after all, there is a foundation for the first part, and there is the insurance of the combination of Wen Tongren + Yang Qi, if the second part of "The Black Boxing" starts filming, no matter what the reputation is, it is almost certain to make money.
Zhao Lili is a businessman, and of course she is interested in all businesses that make money.
"If the script is suitable, you can do another one. ”
In fact, Yang Qi doesn't care in his heart, he doesn't have much interest in repeating the same role, and he doesn't have much disgust, but he has requirements for the script, if the script is too ordinary and just to make money and start filming, then he will definitely refuse.
Every day of his life is precious, and he doesn't want to waste his precious time on simple money.
A few days later, Odysseyban called again and told Yang Qi with a smile that Shushan, the opponent of the light, had also launched an essay contest for "The King of Black Fighters".
It is said that the prize money for the first place is as high as 200,000.
At this time, the cumulative box office of "Black Boxer" has exceeded 600 million, and the time has come to mid-May, "Black Boxer" has been released for nearly a month, and the single-day box office has finally fallen below 10 million, and the honeycomb theater chain has begun to gradually reduce the scale of screenings.
Looking at the trend, it is difficult for the total box office of "Black Boxer" to break 700 million.
But even so, "Black Boxing" has also become the biggest dark horse in this year's film market, not only Star Pictures and God of War Film and Television are investing in follow-up works, but also not only Honeycomb Cinema and Zhao Lili want to start filming the second part of "Black Boxing", there are at least a dozen small companies in the industry that are preparing to shoot black boxing-themed movies.
First, it is natural that the box office data of "The Black Boxing" is too eye-catching.
The second reason is that the investment in kung fu films, especially urban kung fu films, has never been too big, and there are big ways to shoot and small ways to shoot small.
You must know that Wen Tongren's initial funds for making this movie were only a few million, and millions of dollars could shoot an urban kung fu movie, as long as a decent script was finalized, and a leading actor who could play, such a scene could be started.
With a small investment and a broad financial outlook, how many small film companies are not impressed?
These are all things that Yang Qi has heard, but he has not heard of, and there may be people preparing to make movies with the theme of black boxing.
In addition, the film contract that recently invited Yang Qi to film was also handed to the sisters Tao Record Company like snowflakes, handed to Zhao Lili, Ying'er, and some of them were well-informed, and even called Yang Qi's mobile phone directly, or directly sent the script to Cansen Snake Garden, where Yang Qi currently lives.
In total, there are more than 30 drama appointments, some of which invite Yang Qi to play the leading role, and some invite Yang Qi to play a supporting role, but in general, most of them still ask him to play the male lead, and they are all the male lead in action scenes.
Most of them are movies, and several are TV series.
It stands to reason that Yang Qi already has a "Black Boxer" movie with a box office of more than 600 million, and there should be no TV series that will come to him, which is also an unwritten rule in the film and television industry.
Those who act in TV sharpen their heads and want to squeeze into the film industry to act in movies, but those who act in movies and have proven their strength are film actors, but almost no one will accept the contract of the TV series anymore, and occasionally someone will accept it, either because of the decline in popularity and the loss of box office appeal, or out of favor, just like Yang Tianyu took over the role of the second female lead in "The Ugly Swordsman".
Most actors think like this, when film and television companies invite actors, most of them also follow this rule, those who make movies may invite popular actors from TV series, but those who shoot TV series rarely talk about themselves and invite popular movie actors.
But why do you want to find Yang Qi starring in a TV series now?
Zhao Lili analyzed several general reasons for Yang Qi.
Zhao Lili said: "Maybe they just want to try their luck, what if you agree? Hehe, there is another reason, haven't you been filming "The Ugly Swordsman" recently? Those people probably think that since you can make "The Ugly Swordsman", then maybe you will take on other TV series, as long as the script is good enough! The salary is high enough!"
The reason for selecting scripts is that there are so many scripts, Yang Qi doesn't have the time or interest to read and choose them one by one, so he asked the company to screen them for him first, first eliminate those that are obviously not suitable for him, and finally choose a few good scripts and let him read them.
Yang Qi has been very busy lately!
Because Sun Yan's role as the second male lead has been filmed at the end of April, the remaining scenes, he and Guan Xin, Yang Tianyu and others naturally have more scenes, and there are a few scenes every three or five days.
Li Muzi said last month that he would give him more fighting scenes, and he did not break his promise, not only added a lot of fighting scenes to Yang Qi, but also had higher requirements for the quality of Yang Qi's fighting scenes.
Often Yang Qi thinks that he has played well enough, but Li Muzi still says: "Come twice again!
