Chapter 144: Dilemma
Time passed in a hurry, and soon came to the 18th in mid-July, "Seven Swords" officially held a grand premiere party at the International Convention and Exhibition Center in Xiang City, Hunan Province, and all the main actors gathered together, such as director Xu Ke, Fu Luo, Li Ming, Donnie Yen, Lu Yi, Yang Caini, Jin Suyan, Zhang Jingchu, etc. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The host of the party is He Jiong and Yang Lan, this is a party that is not new and boring on the whole, so that Sun Honglei sang two songs on stage and danced a break dance, which made Fu Luo in the audience really laugh.
By the end of this premiere party, it was already after ten o'clock in the evening, Fu Luo, who wanted to go back to the hotel to rest immediately, was pulled out by He Jiong to have a supper, saying that he had finally come back to Xiang City, and the other party had to fulfill the friendship of the landlord.
Counting up, every time Fu Luo saw He Jiong, it was because they were eating and drinking together, and they were basically at Huang Lei's house, just because he was close, so every time He Jiong came to the capital, he would call Fu Luo and ask him to go over to eat and drink together.
Of course, as long as Gao Yuanyuan is also at home, Fu Luo will basically refuse politely, only when his girlfriend is not at home, he will occasionally steal a coat and don't want to cook by himself, so he goes to Huang Lei's house to eat and drink, and after several times, the three of them have become "good food friends".
In the end, he spent one night in Xiangshi, and Fu Luo returned to the capital the next day.
Then I found that I was suddenly idle, as if I had nothing to do, of course, it wasn't that no one came to him to film, but it was all some TV series that I hadn't even heard of by name, etc., and I really didn't have the desire to take a more look.
The reason why this situation occurred, Fu Luo also roughly guessed some reasons, speaking of which may be regarded as his own doing, because he got a studio, and did not sign a contract with any other company, as far as the entire entertainment industry is concerned, it still belongs to that kind of chaotic era, and there is no discipline.
Basically, every film and television company has its own signed artists, and whenever they want to shoot any new works, they naturally think of their own artists, not other outsiders.
So people like Fu Luo who run a single gang naturally received a cold reception, even if he just got a Cannes actor, he still can't match the word "interests" at a critical moment.
If you want to solve the current predicament, it is not impossible, the first one is naturally to find a powerful company to take refuge, I believe that with the identity of the actor, it is relatively easy to come.
And the second one can only rely on himself, since no one is looking for himself to film, he can only be an investor and find himself to film, but this method requires a certain amount of financial strength, and in terms of Fu Luo's current financial resources, it may still be a little thin.
Just when he was a little at a loss, an unexpected joy suddenly fell on Fu Luo's head, when he received Guan Qingqing's call, he still didn't believe it and asked several times, and when it was finally confirmed that it was true, the whole person jumped up directly with excitement, this situation is really rare in his body.
It doesn't seem like a big deal to say that someone is coming to give him money, because Chopard wants to find him to be the spokesperson for Asia, by the way, this Chopard is not the big musician who has long been hung up, but a Swiss watch brand.
Although this Chopard may not be among the top ten watches in the world, there is no problem in ranking in the top 20, and Chopard is also a sponsor of the Cannes Film Festival, and even the Palme d'Or trophy is provided by Chopard.
The next day, at a pre-arranged location, Fu Luo met the head of Chopard's Asian region, a somewhat balding white middle-aged man named Berman.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, I appreciate what you said on the podium at the Cannes Film Festival, it is very universal, it is really great! And there are many people in Europe who appreciate you like me, and it is a great honor for Chopard to have you as an endorsement this time. ”
As soon as he sat down, Berman praised Fu Luo very bluntly.
Don't say it, he really didn't tell a lie, last time Fu Luo won the Cannes actor in an upset, but because of his words on stage, it was rare for most of the media to give up doubts about him, and he used this passage as the title to make Fu Luo directly on the headlines in Europe, so many people knew and knew him as a special Cannes actor.
There happened to be high-level people from Chopard, who also expressed their appreciation for Fu Luo, and finally had the idea of finding Fu Luo to be Chopard's spokesperson in Asia.
Of course, it's just an idea, after all, appreciating a person can only be regarded as an introduction at best, and in the end, it is necessary to pass all aspects of the measurement before the final conclusion can be made.
After all, the Cannes Film Festival also ended for almost two months, and the reason why Chopard came to the door now is because they have been conducting a feasibility assessment report on Fu Luo's endorsement during this time, until they finally got the word "can", and Berman came to find Fu Luo on behalf of Chopin.
"Thank you, I'm honored to work with Chopard!"
In the face of Berman, Fu Luo did not be too modest to say anything ashamed, in front of these Westerners, you must appear confident, otherwise people will not think that you are modest, but will think that you are not strong.
In the end, the negotiation went very smoothly, and Fu Luo will endorse the Asian Xiao happy-sport series of black wrists for one year, and the endorsement fee is 1 million US dollars, which is 8 million when converted into RMB, which is higher than the endorsement fee of Meibang for two years, and this international brand is really much more generous.
The efficiency is also very fast, it just so happened that Chopard had a new product launch conference in the capital the next day, and Berman put this endorsement signing ceremony before the press conference.
…………
Soon at the end of July, "Seven Swords" was also fully released, winning more than 20 million box office in the first three days, and 30 million again in the second week, with a cumulative box office of 5,600 in two weeks.
But in terms of word-of-mouth, "Seven Swords" has simply become a one-sided bad review, and the decline is also embarrassing, the box office of the first three days and the second week of seven days is almost the same, which shows how sad it is, there is no prospect at all, and it also gave the ambitious Xu Ke a blow to the head, and what series of movies also disappeared.
It was also during this period of time that another big thing happened in the entertainment industry, Wang Jinhua, who is known as the first agent in the mainland, took Chen Zhiming, Hu Jun, Liu Jialing, Liang Jiahui, Wu Junru and other stars out of Huayi collectively and jumped to Orange Tim Entertainment, which has a Japanese background.
Directly angry, the two brothers almost vomited three liters of blood, and they were directly hollowed out by Wang Jinhua, so much surprising that Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing stayed in Huayi at the same time and did not run away with Wang Jinhua.
However, these things have little to do with Fu Luo, and for the box office of "Seven Swords", he can't do anything about a small supporting role that doesn't have many scenes, anyway, it is a predestined result, it's better not to struggle.
During this time, Fu Luo was also in retreat to write the script, wanting to open his own predicament, which was the only thing he could use in the future, and at the same time he also made a basically feasible planning plan, and with the help of a friend, he achieved a certain eyebrow, and listening to his friend, the probability of success in the end should be very high.
