Chapter 307: I Should Have a TV Station (Four Watches)
Americans were completely captivated by the "hodgepodge" of "Rush Hour 2" and flocked to the cinema. The film grossed $250 million in North America and won the title of "the highest-grossing comedy in American history" and "the highest-grossing action comedy".
Chenlong also took the opportunity to make a "triple jump" and easily crossed the $20 million benchmark and became the fourth most valuable actor in the United States, second only to Chen Tiandu, Tom Cruise and Tom Hanks.
"Brother Dragon" became famous in Hollywood, and even Steven Spielberg made a special trip to the door to ask for an autographed photo of Chenlong for his son. Seeing that the famous director asked him, Chenlong was playful and asked Spielberg: "In the film, how did you make dinosaurs and people run together?" Spielberg replied, "It's easy, I just sit at my desk and keep typing on the computer keyboard, and anything can fit together." ”
After speaking, Spielberg "saluted" Chenlong with a sentence: "How did you jump from one house to another?" Chen Long smiled and said: "It's very simple, just flip twice, and jump twice." ”
Of course, Spielberg's main purpose in Hong Kong was to select actors for the new film "Memoirs of a Geisha" that he was about to produce, and the Hong Kong media were reporting that Zhang Manyu was about to star, and it seemed that he was already determined to win. This is the most beautiful year since Chenlong's debut, and he has always dreamed of breaking into Hollywood, and his dream has finally come true. This is also the highest income in the history of Brother Chenlong, but unfortunately it is not the first Chinese.
500 million US dollars, more than 4 billion yuan of income, the annual income of the entire mainland entertainment industry, is estimated to be this number. This is the annual income calculated by the Hong Kong media for Chen Tiandu. Not only at home. Think all over the world. He is also the highest-paid entertainer.
Li Lianjie earned 190 million Hong Kong dollars last year, and Hong Kong people summed up the way to make a fortune as "sexy".
What sex appeal is, no one can say. Li Lianjie, who played the "Chinese villain" in Hollywood two years ago and was beaten by the protagonist, was actually selected as one of the 25 sexiest actors in the United States last year. In front of his sexy face, the directors will naturally send the money to the front, and he doesn't need to spend more money. Last year, Li Lianjie only made two American films, and he had an extra 140 million Hong Kong dollars in his bank account.
starred in "Hero". Zhang Yimou offered a reward of 50 million Hong Kong dollars, but he actually frowned: "Just do a favor to a friend and give a preferential price!" ”
And in fourth place is Andy Lau, the king of diligence and clumsiness, the media ridiculed: "It's not easy to make money, and it's even more difficult to make money in the Hong Kong entertainment industry!" If there is a chance, Andy Lau will definitely teach Li Lianjie a good lesson and tell him what it means to be diligent. ”
However, Tianwang worked tirelessly to make movies, hold concerts, and shoot advertisements last year, and the money he earned was less than a fraction of others, and Andy Lau was probably so angry that he vomited blood. also made 3 films, and Li Lianjie received 190 million Hong Kong dollars. And Liu Tianwang only got 24 million Hong Kong dollars. As a result, "Bitter Liu" had to work overtime. Bridging the gaps.
Fortunately, Andy Lau's old face is still popular, and he has more skills than Li Lianjie, and the income from 15 concerts, 4 records and 4 advertisements makes Liu Tianwang live a decent life. won 120 million Hong Kong dollars throughout the year, and I also want to ask for the big sale of "Infernal Affairs".
Then there is Xing Ye, "Shaolin Football" let Xing Ye get a bonus of 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and advertisers also came to join in the fun, and both advertisements were paid tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, so that Xing Ye would not lose to Zhou Yunfa.
Compared with income and popularity, this is not only done by Hong Kong people.
December is the big month for the release of the "Forbes" year-end list -- the "box office appeal list", "the list of the highest-paid female musicians", and "the list of the most potential under 30" have recently appeared one after another.
But no matter what kind of list, Chen Tian has no suspense and ranks No.1 in Hollywood with the box office appeal of three movies with a global box office of more than $1.5 billion so far!
As Time magazine said, "Justify the name of the great director!" ”
According to his current filming speed, Spielberg, who is getting older and older, can only watch him being chased by Chen Tiandu. Although the gap is large, it will catch up one day, and there is absolutely no need to wait for Spielberg to turn 60.
A big director, what is a big director, and why should he correct his name?
There are only a handful of Hollywood people who can be called "big directors", but not just anyone can have this title. Stephen Spielberg, James Cameron, Quentin Tarantino, Tim Burton...... Every movie has a director with the right to cut it, and it's enough for the whole of Hollywood with just two slaps.
If you look at rights, it means that you have absolute control over directing a movie, the selection of characters, the details of the script, and the way you shoot it...... What's more important is the right to final cuts. The decision on what the theatrical version of a movie looks like in theaters is in the hands of the producers, who hand over the scissors to the producers, editors, and even the big-name male lead in the film.
The big director means the final editing right, and it is up to them to decide whether it is the theatrical version or the director's cut version. Those producers who like to meddle in movies are all out of here, Lao Tzu is a big director, and Lao Tzu can shoot as much as he wants.
Of course, Chen Tiandu's previous situation was special, he was not only an investor, but also a producer, director, and starring, and he was the boss of each movie no matter how much it cost, so he has always been able to enjoy the rights of a big director.
However, the title of "big director" also needs to be recognized by the media, which is very simple, make an absolute classic of film history or take a little golden man. He did all of this this year, and won the Oscar for Best Director at the beginning of the year. This summer's global box office of 886 million has not yet been broken. This year's Christmas file also officially created a sequel to the classic sci-fi series, which means that a classic sci-fi series was born.
"The Sixth Sense" came to prominence, "The Matrix" spotted a new star, and "Infernal Affairs" was an accident but he wasn't qualified. "Fast and Passion" made him unbeatable for a while, and his godhead began to take shape, which also continued to boost his popularity as a "great director", until the release of "Reloaded", which cleared a qiē obstacle in one fell swoop.
The hacking effect is back on the rise, the media is flooding with good products, and the global box office is skyrocketing - recognized as a sci-fi classic that has not been seen in years.
and the 3.3 billion global box office that has fallen below countless eyeballs.
In addition to being only 27 years old, Chen Tiandu is already a world-recognized director, but this position is not easy to do. He also needs to continue to strengthen his godhead and forge the supreme position in the long life that follows.
As a result of his soaring fame, the paparazzi continued to squat at a fixed point against him, and there was no guarantee that Chen Tiandu would go out to a nightclub again one day. If you get a photo or two of fooling around, it's enough to buy a sports car.
Christmas is just around the corner, and the whole country is in the Christmas mood.
Kate was very depressed, she had worked hard for so many days, and she was not pregnant yet. I can only sigh that this kind of thing needs to be determined by heaven, and it can't be forced. In desperation, she had to turn her attention to work, her program will start recording after the year, and the last preparation is to choose a partner TV station for the program to launch together.
At the moment, she is constantly negotiating the details with her brokerage team, and it seems that she is even busier than Chen Tiandu.
Chen Tiandu personally participated in the decoration of the Christmas tree and lanterns, sweated a lot, and turned on the TV on the sofa after taking a shower. It's NBC, and it's replaying "Saturday Night Live", and the guest of the last episode is Britney Spears, who not only plays Barbie's daughter in a hilarious skit, but also says to a host who looks like her boyfriend Justin: "Sorry! I'm not a virgin anymore!! ”
Britney really wants to be on this high-rated show in the United States, and she can completely ignore the reserve of beautiful girls, cooperate with all the short dramas and performances, and pretend to be an idiot and not refuse to come.
In the first hilarious short play, she played the daughter of Barbie, wearing a translucent pink pajamas, which made the scene scream again and again, when the actor who played Barbie told the daughter: "Daughter, in fact, Ken (Ken) is not your father, because he is a comrade, your own father gave birth to you in one night with me, Han Suluo (played by Harrison Ford) in "Star Wars" is! ”
When the audience burst into laughter, Britney still didn't laugh and slapped her mother Barbie, scolding: "You! ”
Even Chen Tiandu, who has never seen much talk shows, couldn't help laughing when he saw this paragraph, it was indeed funny. This year's Britney is a sweet girl in the United States, and her relationship with "Superboy" lead singer Justin has attracted more attention than Chen Tiandu, who has a boring life. After all, this pair can shoot both of them wherever they go, and they are both restless masters.
Britney had previously vowed to remain a virgin until Candle Night in the cave room, and oddly enough, she had no "experience in that area" but believed that eating chocolate and sneezing felt like sex.
Chen Tiandu couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, in the future 2003, Justin would suspect her of cheating with the dance teacher and break up with her, Britney Spears after the breakup was completely crazy, almost not the same person as the current youth and beauty.
While she was having fun alone, Kate returned, followed by her agent Raven, who threw her scarf on the sofa and took a sip of water, quite angry.
"What's wrong?" Chen Tiandu asked casually with a smile on his face.
Kate listened to his inquiry, and immediately blurted out like a bean, "I'm so angry, Bravo's asking price is too outrageous, I made a zuò program to broadcast on his TV station, and actually asked me for money, it's really a vampire, Grande." ”
Chen Tiandu frowned, lowered the voice of the TV a little, stretched his waist and said, "Why don't you sue me, don't you know that your man is an omnipotent superman." Raven showed me the information to see what the problem was. ”
Raven had been waiting for his help, but Kate, who had an independent personality, didn't want her career to rely too much on Chen Tiandu and make herself look like a vase, even though the chief planner of this show was Chen Tiandu.
Before Kate could speak, Raven couldn't wait to hand him the thing. (To be continued......)
