Chapter 225: A third-level actress
"Come, Fat Boy, Xiaoli, drink some soup, this soup is very good for the body......" Mom saw Reeves staring at the soup for a long time, and couldn't help but explain with a smile: "These are very supplemental, drink it!" ”
Reeves also participated in the film, and he certainly did not play the villain in the film. He may not be willing to play a villain in such a commercial film, which means self-stereotyping, Xiao Ran is not willing to waste such a good actor.
Reeves plays a young CIA agent in the film, discovers the conspiracy of the villain Dr. and others, and later becomes friends with the care played by Fa Ge. However, Reeves doesn't play a lot of roles in the second part, and the key is in the third part. The third part is each fighting for their faith and nation, the content is very intense, and it is definitely not easy to shoot.
Xiao Ran had already decided not to let Liang Jun direct the third part at this time, because he knew very well that Liang Jun would never be able to control the literary drama that the third film occupied a considerable space. Reeves is not popular in Hong Kong now, but at the beginning of this year, Xiao Ran asked the screenwriting team to tailor a script for Reeves, in which Xiaoli played an Interpol and Zhen Zidan played a local policeman, playing their conflicting concepts.
The box office of that film was not bad, and it also had 15 million. Xiaoli's second work is an English film, Xiao Ran concentrated many Western actors from Hong Kong in the film, and moved them to Europe to shoot, which was a love scene. Now the film is still in post-production, and I don't know how the box office will be for the time being.
Xiao Ran's fourth film for Xiaoli is "Wolves", which is borrowed from a story he used to read at the starting point. If the response is good, it can also be made into a series. The only thing that made him a little depressed was that he once called Coppola to ask his nephew to come to Hong Kong, and one of the characters in "Wolves" was specially prepared for Cage brothers.
It's a pity that Brother Coppola promised yes, but he never gave an answer. Reeves wiped his mouth, enjoyed the lingering fragrance in his mouth, and said to Xiao Ran in still stiff Mandarin: "Auntie's soup is awesome, I've been in Hong Kong for almost a year, and my aunt's soup is the best!" ”
When my mother heard this, she immediately smiled and couldn't wait to make another pot of soup immediately. Xiao Ran couldn't help but smile: "Actually, there are many good things in China, as long as you know how to enjoy them." How, I've been here for a long time and I'm used to it now! ”
Xiao Ran asked this in vain, Xiaoli can basically pass the language barrier now, what else is not used to? Xiaoli is very satisfied with everything here, the only thing he is not satisfied with is that Chinese is too difficult to learn, and the damn chopsticks are always not good.
Except for the language, everything else is obviously not a problem, anyway, there are Western restaurants in Hong Kong. At first, Xiaoli was surprised when he came to Hong Kong to shoot his first film, because the filming speed here is much faster than in Hollywood. In Hollywood, not to mention the common thing like working all night, it is to work an extra hour and have to sue the actors' union to make the film company unbearable.
However, when the film was released, he gradually understood why sometimes he had to stay up all night when he was not in a hurry. Because of inspiration, the reason why Hong Kong films can rise rapidly is because they are free enough, unlike Hollywood, which pays attention to the rules in everything, is very rigid and fluid, and no matter how much inspiration is restricted.
If a director is inspired, it is not a problem to work for a day, but to work for three days in a row. Xiao Ran tried to work for more than 30 hours continuously when he was filming "Spy Change", because he needed to become a reality as soon as possible before the inspiration of nothingness dissipated.
"It's not bad, it's just the language ......" Xiaoli showed a sunny smile, sometimes Xiao Ran felt that Xiaoli was really suitable for playing that kind of rebellious boy. Grasping an idea in his mind, he thought that maybe he could write a story about a rebellious boy who rebelled and came to Hong Kong to settle down.
Xiaoli also knows that this is not a problem at all, as long as the language is enough to communicate, it is good, and in terms of dubbing, there are naturally the best professionals in Hong Kong to dub him in various languages other than English. He is also quite satisfied with the treatment here, at first the Phantom only offered him 300,000 Hong Kong dollars, and by the time he got this third film, it had already risen a lot.
When it comes to foreign actors, there are really a lot of Phantoms, but there are really few future cattle like Xiaoli. Daisy can be called the most valuable foreigner at present, which has reached 1.8 million, barely reaching the second-tier level.
To put it simply, Phantom is now somewhat similar to the United Nations, not only Westerners, but also filmmakers from Southeast Asia who have come to Hong Kong at the invitation of local branches. Xiao Ran's trick is called razing and conquering his country for the phantom with his own ability, which is exactly the usual method used by Hollywood.
"Coincidentally, Brother Fa, you also want to learn English, Xiaoli wants to learn Chinese, you can communicate more." Xiao Ran glanced at Fa Ge and Xiaoli and couldn't help but smile. Now all Hong Kong actors and filmmakers know one thing, if you want to achieve more in the future, you must learn Chinese. In particular, the staff behind the scenes were told that there will definitely be more and more foreigners in the future, and it is better to know some English to facilitate communication.
Under such circumstances, Fa Ge's Mandarin is only better than Xiaoli's. Just as Xiao Ran was thinking about it, the phone rang, it was Wei Dongling calling, and his voice was very depressed: "The acquisition of Hongkong Land failed, we lost more than 600 million, and Li Ka-shing lost more than 700 million!" ”
Xiao Ran was taken aback, and then shook his head in frustration. Originally, Hongkong Land was acquired not only for the prime land owned by the company, but also for Hongkong Land's well-known infrastructure company to enter the mainland market in the future. If you fail, you have to look at the others.
"It doesn't matter, we can afford to lose this money, besides, Fang Xiaoqiang is now taking advantage of the Gulf crisis to make money for the company!" Xiao Ran thought about it for a while, if we talk about infrastructure companies, Li Chaoren's Yangtze River infrastructure has not been dismantled yet, and if we can build infrastructure ahead of it, we will have a greater advantage in entering the mainland in the future.
Thinking of this, thinking of Wheelock again, he said in a deep voice: "Take a break, launch an acquisition of Wheelock in a month, and after winning this company, we will consider Chengji Infrastructure!" See you tomorrow! ”
Wei Dongling was actually not as frustrated as Xiao Ran imagined, because this battle was mainly lost at the hands of Hongkong Land's British allies. If Hongkong Land had not cooperated with other British-funded companies, he and Li Ka-shing would definitely have succeeded. He and Xiao Ran are not very sure about this, they just use this as a practice, you must know that Xiao Ran still has several huge acquisition plans brewing in his mind, such as the future acquisition of Hong Kong Telecom, which is worth more than 30 billion US dollars.
There are four old British companies in Hong Kong, Hutchison caused a sensation in Hong Kong when it was bought by Li Chaoren, and Hongkong Land is also a rare strong stock in previous stock market crashes, and the remaining Jardine Matheson has not been very valuable since Wharf was acquired by Pao Yugang. The only target is a fourth old British company, Wheelock, which has a lot of cash flow, but the shares issued are only worth 2 to 3 billion, and it is not difficult to acquire.
Moreover, Wei Dongling has basically made preparations and is just waiting to announce the acquisition. After experiencing this classic anti-takeover case against Hongkong Land, Wei Dongling and Li Ka-shing have learned a lot together, and he believes that he can succeed.
Just after dinner in the evening, when Xiao Ran was thinking about which director to choose to partner with Liang Jun, he thought for a while, and finally decided to let Liu Mei go over and try. Lin Qingxia, who was sitting next to Xiao Ran, said softly: "Something happened in the afternoon, Yang Yuejie begged me for help!" ”
For a while, both my mother and Xiao Han were very curious, and Xiao Ran turned her head to look at Lin Qingxia in amazement. Seeing Lin Qingxia with a disgusted look on her face, she glanced at Xiao Han, and her mother immediately understood that it was inconvenient to say it in front of Xiao Han, and immediately drove the reluctant Xiao Han back to the room. Lin Qingxia said awe-inspiringly: "Yang Yuejie accompanied that Chen Dezhong to Macau the day before yesterday, but she was forced to ...... with another person."
This time, not only Xiao Ran understood, but even my mother knew it very clearly, snorted disdainfully, stood up and left: "I'm too lazy to listen to these filthy things!" Ah Ran, as a brother, you must protect Xiaohan, if she loses half of her hair, see how I clean you up! ”
"Okay, then you can clean me up now!" Xiao Ran sighed lightly, pretending to be relaxed and trying to make her mother happier: "Because today I saw her lose a hair, she can clean me up twice!" ”
Mom and Lin Qingxia immediately couldn't help laughing, and left all the unpleasantness of Fang Cai behind. went upstairs in pieces, and Lin Qingxia told Xiao Ran the whole thing. In fact, it is very simple, Yang Yuejie is from Miss Asia, but she didn't get ranked, and she looks very plump and gorgeous. The surname Ge is also unwilling to be lonely, and he is extremely vain, but he was raised by a rich man named Chen Dezhong.
Chen Dezhong is not a good person, and the matter of the package is often exposed, and this guy is also very thick-skinned, and he has never cared about it. This time, Yang Yuejie went to Macau with Chen Dezhong, but she was forced to sleep with other people, and she was abused. Yang Yuejie immediately thought of Xiao Ran, but with her identity and personality, it was obviously not enough to get to know Xiao Ran.
So, this guy thought of Lin Qingxia. No one in Asia knows that Xiao Ran loves Lin Qingxia, as long as she is willing to blow the wind and Xiao Ran is willing to come forward, this matter will be done. Of course, this is what Lin Qingxia guessed, and Yang Yuejie naturally would not be stupid enough to say it.
Xiao Ran shook his head helplessly, such things are common, and the contestants of Miss Hong Kong and Miss Asia often end up like this. Founded in 1985 and discontinued in 1999, Miss Asia is particularly serious in this regard, not to mention anything about raising anything, and the third-level actresses from Sister Asia alone have gone to the sea.
Historically, in 1987, Qiu Yueqing, who was a photographic model, won awards such as photogenic and swimsuit, beauty and charm, and became the champion. With such a character, there is really no reason to make a tertiary film, but she went to take over the role of "Three Temptations" directed by He Fan in 1990, and she was even more wet and exposed at three o'clock, and she was the first Asian sister champion to act in a dew point scene.
After that, she was under tremendous social pressure, and the fragrance she starred in "Razor Lover", "Friday Dancer" and "Pretty Woman" was enough, but she didn't show it. Later, his acting career was bleak, and in 1994, he showed up again in "Suck Me a Kiss", but unfortunately he did not succeed, and he had to return to the TV industry to continue to develop.
Ye Yuqing, the third runner-up of the second sister, is also one of the beneficiaries of the three-level film boom in the early nineties, and after acting in many third-level films that were successful at the box office, she finally transformed successfully with her smart mind, acted in dramas and literary films, and became a first-line red star.
Weng Hong, who is also the champion of the Asian sister, has made a lot of classic tertiary films with Wang Jing, but he turned against his family. However, her films such as "The Ten Tortures of the Manchu Dynasty" and "The Twelve Rooms of the Green Building" are really classics in the third level. Later, he inadvertently transformed into a comedian, which can be regarded as a good end.
Zeng Xiaoyan, the runner-up of the second sister, and Gong Xuehua, who won the fifth place at the age of 47, plus Zhang Wenci, who got the most perfect body, also acted in many third-level films. However, they are very clear-headed and insist on not being naked. For example, Chen Yiming, who was born in Sister Ya, openly showed up on TV in 1995, and starred in Da Lute Lou's "One Night Love of the Crazy Horse Girl", and also had scandals with Zhou Xingchi and Er Dongsheng, and is recognized as one of the actresses who are good at hype.
There are also Zhou Hong, Fan Aijie and Cai Meilan who played "* Cheating Treasure". The most funny and tragic is Chen Baolian, the actress who later committed suicide by jumping off a building, was originally forced by her mother to embark on the road of tertiary films. And less than two months after her death, "The Life of the Peerless Star Baolian" came out, and the coincidence of starring in the film was Sun Yali, who was unsuccessful in the selection of Sister Ya.
It is no exaggeration to say that according to the above huge figures, Sister Ya has simply become a training place for third-level actresses. Xiao Ran didn't want ATV to carry this burden, and soon after acquiring ATV, he immediately instructed Zhu Guangli to revise the selection rules, making them more suitable for the selection of actresses in the entertainment industry, adding rules in terms of scholarly connotation, and trying to create a beauty contest for the delivery of new blood.
did not appear in the third-level films, but there were still those who were raised, and Yang Yuejie was one of them. Xiao Ran is too lazy to care about what is not supported, and it is too much to force it, it is simply interfering with other people's privacy.
"Do you want to pull her up, look at her so pitiful!" Recalling the situation when Yang Yuejie knelt down and cried directly to her, Lin Qingxia couldn't help but feel compassion.
Xiao Ran suddenly lost her voice and laughed, stroked her hair and said softly: "What is so pitiful about that kind of person, if she doesn't hang up with others, no one will force her at all." It's all her own doing, so why bother with her. ”
"You're really ......" Lin Qingxia glared at Xiao Ran with disgust, brushed aside his mischievous hand, and then sighed: "Actually, I also know that this is self-inflicted, but it's still a little unbearable to see it, forget it, you decide!" ”
"Decide for yourself? That's interesting! Xiao Ran muttered to himself, suddenly smiled, and hugged his wife to say sweetly: "Don't worry, since it is you who come forward, it will be bad if I don't agree." ”
Xiao Ran smiled, he knew that he was sometimes a little harsh in some things, and after the red face was finished, he still needed a white face. He thought that letting his wife play the role of white face must be a very suitable candidate.
