Chapter 534: Challenge Subversion
When Wang Jinghua, Song Dexian and others got the news that it was a sign of nervousness, after Mel, the original book of "Twilight", got the news, he shouted on the phone from a distance of ocean, which was great.
Yang Yichen finally decided to star in "Twilight" in person, and played the leading actor, blood-sucking-ghost-Edward, Zhang Xinqing's mouth challenged Hollywood's acceptance, which is Yang Yichen's identity as a Chinese, such a film, using a person with yellow skin and black eyes, can Hollywood accept it? Can audiences in Europe and the United States accept it? After all, in their cognition, blood-sucking ghosts should be the kind of existence with pale skin and very strange eyes.
At the beginning, it was suggested that it be produced by the brother group, as a film that broke into Hollywood, and found Hollywood actors to act, Yang Yichen didn't think much about it, but Ms. Mel directly proposed: "Chen is very suitable, his handsomeness can completely show the handsomeness of blood-sucking ghosts, as long as he wears contact lenses, no, no, no, it will be a waste of Chen's deep eyes, yes, as long as he makes his skin pale, give him a little feminine state, I have seen his movies, this is no problem at all on him, At least in addition to a few Hollywood superstars I've seen so far, Tatsu is the most suitable, and I'm planning to revise the image of Edward in my book with Tatsu as the version, oh my God, this idea is fantastic, Tatsu, can you promise me? ”
It was precisely because of Mel's neuroticism that Yang Yichen realized that maybe he could really shoot it, because the difficulty of playing the actor in this movie made him throw away the idea of playing this movie himself very early. Such a Hollywood version of a youth idol drama is handsome and mysterious with a little bit of difference, which is too difficult for Yang Yichen. But if this film is used to challenge Hollywood's acceptance, then his role has a new and different meaning.
Mel didn't think about it so much, she just felt that Yang Yichen's image was okay, except that he was not a Westerner, basically in line with the image of Edward in her mind, and even slowly replaced some of the pictures in her mind, Edward was Yang Yichen with a pale face and a little feminine makeup.
Wang Jinghua and others were nervous. is because they all know that to shoot this film, it will require a huge investment, and this is a real Hollywood top-level special effects level production. Once the shooting does not have a good box office, it is not only a loss of a large amount of money, but also has a huge devastating impact on the entire strategic layout of the brother group, and even affects the company's future listing plan.
Such a film adaptation of a novel with a purely Western background. Use a Chinese person as the male lead. Will it not adapt to the soil and water, although Yang Yichen has achievements in the music world, but there is a difference between singers and movie stars, you singers have no problem singing English songs, everyone likes to listen to them if you sing well, there is no problem for you to play our movies, and if you act well, you will become a big star, but you try to impact our perception of inherent thinking. This in itself is quite difficult.
You're like a super blockbuster with no legacy, that's fine. You can set up your male protagonist however you want, the difference is his personal appeal, but in superheroes or some well-known characters with heritage, you wantonly change and try to challenge the established thinking, it is difficult to be accepted, just like a blood-sucking ghost, everyone's fixed thinking mode is a handsome man hiding in the corner, not that they define blood-sucking ghosts in this way, but subjectively in film and television works they define it like this, and they feel that the male protagonist is such an image.
can understand, like Huaxia makes a joint venture film, the actor is Chinese, you change to a Westerner, you will immediately be unadaptable, even if you invite the Oscar, the audience just doesn't buy it, they feel that this is a bit of a donkey's lips and not the horse's mouth, your Oscar actor acting is good, we also like to watch it, but you go to play your movie, come to our movie, how can we hardly accept you as the male lead, unless you can have a really strong enough to conquer our film charm expression, decent, hehe, Then you can only say that you came for nothing.
Yang Yichen chose to play this role, just to challenge, let an Oriental to play a blood-sampire ghost movie male lead, it is estimated that if such news is thrown out, there will be many people who oppose questioning and even crusade against it, but everyone thinks of Mel's attitude, and they still have some confidence in their hearts, as the original author, no one is obsessed with a fixed mode of thinking, that is to say, Yang Yichen really has a mysterious and charming temperament, and when they met, they conquered the original author of this novel.
Everyone is confident that as long as Yang Yichen really performs super well and the film is great, no matter how many doubts there are in front of him, after the film is actually released, it will win at least half of the audience's support and recognition.
What age is it, the concept of a global village has been proposed, where are there so many restrictions in terms of films, the only limitation should be that you need to perform twice as well as a white person, otherwise you will not be recognized.
Can it be done?
Yang Yichen likes challenges, otherwise he wouldn't have taken this film, what he really wants to make in his mind is a movie that belongs to Huaxia, but he knows very well that he still needs time, soil, and his own fame is big enough, and he needs the company's fame to be big enough.
When everyone leaves the office, since it has been decided, it will be operated, and all kinds of news will be revealed little by little in accordance with the rules of this industry.
Yang Yichen stood up, walked to the bookcase behind him, pressed a button blocking the back of the book, the edge of the bookcase moved outward a distance of one meter, close to the outer wall, the modern safe opening device, presented in front of him, eye recognition fingerprint recognition plus password, when the door comparable to a bank vault opened, presented in front of him is a more than ten square meters of insurance room, with the value of the land of the brother group, the value of this office building, will not move in a few decades, This secret room can also allow Yang Yichen to store some things more confidently.
On the wall on the left-hand side, there is a small bookcase, which only has a few folders, and there is a separate combination lock, which is not much, but the value is immeasurable, all of which Yang Yichen recorded in the next ten years All the information he can still remember, from time to time I think of it and fill it in, among these folders there is a separate folder without a name, which contains an unfinished script and a novel that matches the script, he wants to shoot, once the time is ripe, He feels that such a real oriental fantasy martial arts with no historical background is the opportunity for Chinese movies to conquer Hollywood......
Wait, now is just the first step, since I don't take the road of actor to Hollywood, then I will have to go through the thunder step by step.
Turning around, Yang Yichen looked at everything in the secret room again, smiled self-deprecatingly, and then raised his head proudly.
Self-deprecation is to laugh at one's own nouveau riche temperament.
Pride is Howe himself completely by virtue of his own preferred lifestyle.
In this secret room, of course, there are some documents signed under his name, shares, real estate, etc., but what is more dazzling is not how many antique treasures there are, but a large pool in the central area, which is full of money, Huaxia coins, US dollars, euros, pounds, according to the binding method of various currencies, neatly coded in this pool of money without water, Huaxia coins are stacked in 10,000, and the US dollars are folded and bundled, Yang Yichen himself doesn't know how much money is in it, anyway, it's okay to put a few million here, He likes to see the feeling of money here, and he has a feeling that even if I have nothing outside, a little thing I have accumulated here is enough for me to have food and clothing for the rest of my life, a typical small farmer consciousness, he doesn't think there is anything bad, and he thinks it's good, at least when I like money, I can see the money piled up here when I come in, and the numbers in the bank are not as comfortable as real money.
Sitting on the edge of the pool, reaching out and taking out a stack of dollars, enjoying the feeling of new money turning over, comfortable, it is a kind of reality that car houses and bank deposits can't bring, just like his reborn identity, it is impossible to share with anyone, he can only enjoy this secret alone, then he needs such an absolutely private space, so that everything here can accompany him to forget the unreal, forget the fear.
In the middle of the secret room is the money pool, and on the right side is the jade and gold display cabinet, which is placed with gold bars, ingots, and gold jewelry.
Yang Yichen doesn't understand antiques, so he can only buy some well-known jade, and then go to the auction house to auction some treasures, and put them in this secret room.
When he is fine, he likes to stay alone in this so-called safe room, to be honest, except for those few documents that record future events and some scripts, he really has no intention of keeping secrets, just like he stayed in the secret room at this time, he didn't close the door, let alone order that the crows outside can't enter the office if they have something, and even almost all the money and gold and other things in this room are moved in with the help of the crows, Yang Yichen also asked the crows, do you like this feeling? He still remembers Raven's answer at the time: "I don't have this fetish." ”
Immediately after, Yang Yichen would ask him a second question, pointing to the wall of the secret room facing the door: "Do you like these?" (To be continued......)
