Chapter 660: Efficiency
At the end of December, Liang Chaowei came to the capital. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
He came here this time for two things, one was for the Spring Festival Gala, and the other was for the drama "Infernal Affairs".
The director team of this year's Spring Festival Gala invited Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu to sing on stage together.
This incident caused heated discussions in the media.
Although the two are not professional singers, they have achieved good results in films, and they are the best actors and queens of international film festivals, and they have a certain influence in the Chinese film industry.
On the stage of the Spring Festival Gala, the singers are not necessarily singers, and they are still famous.
Moreover, there has been a scandal between Liang Chaowei and Zhang Manyu, and if they are separated.
This is the main reason for the entertainment media to talk about.
At this time, the Spring Festival is less than a month away, and the preparations for the Spring Festival Gala are in full swing.
Liang Chaowei needs to meet and communicate with the director team of the Spring Festival Gala, sign an acting contract, discuss the time of rehearsal, the order of appearance, costumes and makeup, and other issues.
It is impossible for him to stay in the capital all the time like a mainland actor and obey the call of the director team of the Spring Festival Gala at any time.
Heung Kong stars pay great attention to these details, or to maintain their own image.
Lin Zixuan had an idea to let the champion of the finals of "The Voice of China" appear on the stage of the Spring Festival Gala.
This can not only show the influence of the program "Voice of China", but also make the Spring Festival Gala grounded.
To promote the contracted singers, in addition to releasing records, is to participate in various performances.
The Spring Festival Gala is the largest stage in the country, and it is the place most likely to become famous in a fight, and the audience may not watch "The Voice of China", but they will definitely watch the Spring Festival Gala.
He communicated with the director team of the Spring Festival Gala, but the effect was not ideal.
At this time, the concept of the Spring Festival Gala was relatively conservative, putting on a shelf, and did not have the courage to open the door to hold the Spring Festival Gala.
Those who can go to the Spring Festival Gala are artists or famous figures, but grassroots stars can't, they feel that the influence of grassroots stars is not enough, and they lack performance experience on large stages.
This is the Spring Festival Gala, not a joking singing competition.
Besides, so many famous singers and actors want to go to the Spring Festival Gala, where is there a grassroots foothold.
The director team of the Spring Festival Gala has to reject countless related households every year, and even if they come up with a song that suits the occasion, they will arrange it for other singers to sing.
The competition on this stage is so fierce.
Lin Zixuan retreated and arranged for the champion to appear at the Lantern Festival party and sing with other singers.
Since Haomeng Company and Shanshan Culture have established a music company, they must tap resources in this area and create conditions for the contracted singers to become famous.
The six grassroots singers who entered the finals will have the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival Gala of Shonan Satellite TV, produce a personal music album, and sing the theme song for film and television dramas.
even tried to transform into an actor and develop in many ways.
In the future, the company will also produce other types of music programs, and has more and more resources in music.
With the support of these resources, even if you can't become popular, you can still have some fame and mix in the circle.
If this doesn't work, Lin Zixuan will persuade this person to change careers while he is young, not a person who eats this line of food.
He entertained Liang Chaowei in the restaurant he opened, and Ge You and Yu Dong and others came with him.
Ge You and Liang Chaowei are both the best actors at the Cannes Film Festival in France.
There are similarities in the acting paths of the two, they can act in both commercial comedies and deep literary films.
But the performance style is different, one is natural, and the other is literary and artistic.
Ge You's performance has a natural feeling, and the audience feels that this character should be like this.
Liang Chaowei is a literary coffee in Wang Jiawei's movies, or Wang Jiawei has created this image for Liang Chaowei, deep, melancholy and lonely.
The two are not a routine, this is also the difference between Xiangjiang movies and mainland movies.
After consideration, Liu Dehua still gave the script of "Infernal Affairs" to Liang Chaowei.
As the Hollywood of the East, Xiangjiang has many stars, but there are not many actors suitable for the roles in the play.
Liu Dehua and Lin Zixuan discussed this matter on the phone.
In addition to Liang Chaowei, Liang Jiahui is also a suitable candidate, but Liang Chaowei just won the Cannes Best Actor and is in full swing.
In Xiangjiang, Liang Chaowei's salary is not as high as Liu Dehua.
In the past, Liang Chaowei's salary was 4 million Hong Kong dollars, but after winning the Cannes Best Actor, it rose to 6 million.
Xiangjiang is a very realistic place, and the salary of celebrities is linked to box office appeal.
At the same time, it is also a place that emphasizes efficiency, Liu Dehua has already started to prepare for the project of "Infernal Affairs", as long as there are funds, there is no shortage of talents in Xiangjiang to make films.
After signing the cooperation agreement, Lin Zixuan sent 10 million Hong Kong dollars to Liu Dehua's Tianmu Company.
This is the funds for the preliminary preparation, and the rest will be invested when the film officially starts shooting, money is not a problem, Lin Zixuan requires that the production must be excellent.
The main reason why Liang Chaowei took on this drama is the salary, followed by the role.
With the current market situation in Xiangjiang, there are not many such big productions, and his box office appeal is neither as good as Biennial Cheng nor as good as Liu Dehua.
If he takes the kind of film with an investment of about 10 million Hong Kong dollars, his salary will not be 6 million.
The salaries of people like Zeng Zhiwei and Huang Qiusheng are only one million Hong Kong dollars, which has something to do with the fact that they are supporting roles.
Liang Chaowei came over for nothing, just to meet and say hello.
Everyone has a meal, chats, and it's over.
"Even if there are Liu Dehua and Liang Chaowei, it is difficult for this drama to recover the investment, Xiangjiang has been worse than us in the past two years, and it has been hit too hard by Hollywood blockbusters. After Liang Chaowei left, Yu Dong sighed.
Yu Dong has just returned from Hollywood, exposed to the latest information, and has a new understanding of the global film market.
Hong Kong is different from the mainland.
The mainland has a quota on Hollywood blockbusters, and only 10 to 15 Hollywood blockbusters can be imported each year, and Hong Kong is an open market, which has become a box office for Hollywood studios.
Coupled with the depression of the local film industry in Hong Kong, it was unable to resist the invasion of Hollywood films.
Yu Dong's judgment is very reasonable.
The theme of "Infernal Affairs" is not suitable for the introduction of the mainland, especially the final ending, which can only rely on the box office of Hong Kong and Southeast Asia.
Judging from the current situation, there is a high possibility that the film will lose money.
An investment of 25 million will require at least 70 million at the box office to pay off.
The box office champion of Hong Kong in '99 was Chow Xingzhi's film, which was only 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and this year's box office champion was Liu Dehua's film, but 35 million Hong Kong dollars.
The gap is quite large.
It's just that before the movie is released, no one can say for sure.
This is the main reason why Lin Zixuan paid 20 million for his own investment, and Haomeng Company only took 5 million symbolically, even if there was a risk, it was on himself.
"Give it a try, and you'll be able to make friends. Lin Zixuan said calmly.
