Chapter 172: The Audition That Begins Soon

ps: Finally completed the second shift before 12 o'clock, it's not easy!

There is no impermeable wall in this world, and the day after Lin Yuquan asked Li Lianjie to meet, it was reported by the "Kyoto Daily" and the portal Xinglang Entertainment.

"Kung Fu Emperor Li Lianjie returns, and the sky-high salary joins Lin Yuquan's new film."

"Lin Yuquan's new film was launched, and Li Lianjie's salary of 100 million set a new record in the Chinese film industry."

This is the eye-catching title on the entertainment page of "Kyoto Daily" and Xinglang Entertainment, of course, the news cannot be tracked and filmed by reporters from the two major media in Los Angeles, the reporters are human beings, not gods, where can there be so powerful powers, and know the details, but the personnel in charge of publicity of Shuguang Film Company took the initiative to break the news to the two major media.

Although the report is relatively vague, and there is not even the movie situation and the name of the character, as soon as the report came out, due to the strong personal influence of Lin Yuquan and Li Lianjie, it immediately caused a huge sensation.

Who is Li Lianjie? I'm afraid that few people in China will not know that the "Shaolin Temple", "Huang Feihong" series, "Fang Shiyu", "Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng" Li Lianjie has left people too many good memories on the TV screen, and then went to Hollywood, with "Deadly Romeo", "Dragon Kiss" and other films, becoming Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, another Chinese international kung fu superstar, enjoys a high reputation all over the world, and is a business card of Chinese in the world.

As for who Lin Yuquan is? Presumably, as long as you pay a little attention to the film and television industry, you will not be a stranger, although his rapid rise is relatively short, but with "Huo Yuanjia" and "Red Cliff", he is definitely the most eye-catching director in China today, and in addition to the director, he is also an actor. The Golden Horse actor is powerful enough, but his kung fu is even more powerful, and the report that he defeated Stallone and Schwarzenegger in the United States in the past two days has returned to China. indisputably established his position as the most powerful action actor in the world film industry, not to mention kung fu fans. Even the average person is proud of it after seeing the report.

Although I am not sure of the authenticity of the news, and I don't know the specific situation of Lin Yuquan's new film, it does not prevent Lin Yuquan's and Li Lianjie's fans from rejoicing and imagining, Lin Yuquan + Li Lianjie, there is no if, if the two make kung fu movies, this lineup is too dreamy, think about Lin Yuquan's "Huo Yuanjia". Think about Li Lianjie's "Shaolin Temple" and "Huang Feihong", both of them are action superstars in the Chinese world, how can the hearty fight between the two not be expected.

Especially Li Lianjie's fans are extremely happy for him, Li Lianjie is going to Hollywood and has become an international kung fu superstar, but his works have not been very good in recent years, none of his works can satisfy domestic fans, not to mention playing villains, how can those foreigners make kung fu movies broad and profound, in the film. In addition to being able to fight, Li Lianjie can still fight, and he no longer has the most impressive grandmaster's righteous demeanor. Every fan of Li Lianjie misses him at the beginning, and starred in Lin Yuquan's movie. With Lin Yuquan, the world's most powerful action actor and martial arts instructor, perhaps Li Lianjie will once again show his most mesmerizing kung fu charm, and as long as you think about it, Li Lianjie's fans really hope that the news is true.

In addition to the news itself, Li Lianjie's salary of 100 million and Lin Yuquan's new film have become the focus of attention.

The salary is 100 million, what an astonishing figure, maybe it may not be anything in Hollywood, but in China and even in the whole Asian film industry, this number is enough to make Li Lianjie the most expensive actor in Asia. In one fell swoop, it refreshed the salary record in the Chinese film industry, leaving Zhou Yanfa, Gong Li, Zhang Ziyi and others far behind. Even Cheng Long, although his salary in Hollywood is higher than that of Li Lianjie. The remuneration of Chinese-language films that can be filmed is far from reaching this figure.

After the success of "Huo Yuanjia" and "Red Cliff", Lin Yuquan's new film naturally has a feeling of focus of attention, and if it is said that for ordinary people, this is just a good talking point, but the entire entertainment industry was shaken in an instant, film companies, brokerage companies, actors, directors, screenwriters, and photographers Although their feelings are different, one thing is the same, everyone's eyes began to focus on it, paying close attention to the follow-up progress.

"Why bother!" Lin Yuquan shook his head and put down the newspaper in his hand, of course Li Lianjie's salary cannot be 100 million, in fact, it is only 60 million, not even 8 million US dollars, the reason why he broke the news of 100 million is not that he wants to exaggerate the number and attract people's attention, 60 million is actually shocking enough, there is no need to do this, but because of the request of Li Lianjie's agent, it is said that Ajie's salary in Hollywood is 12 million to 15 million US dollars, if the real salary of "Painted Skin" is promoted, the salary of the next movie is not easy to talk about, in this regard, What else could he say.

Bang bang, with three knocks on the door, Ding Shi pushed the door in, and put a stack of materials in his hand in front of Lin Yuquan: "Boss, this is the relevant information of the theater, theater, box office, and management that you asked me to sort out." ā€

"It's fast!" Lin Yuquan smiled and picked up the information and looked at it, the information is very detailed, at present, there are all kinds of cinemas in 36 cities in China, he first looked at the cinema catalog, his eyes quickly stopped at a name, and his face was a little surprised: "Oh, Wanda Real Estate actually does cinemas?" ā€

"Yes, I was surprised when I first saw it, and then I learned about the situation in detail, speaking of which, it's actually quite funny, when Wanda invested in the opening of 6 large shopping malls in the first batch, it did not include cinemas, and later Wanda prepared the 2003 Wanda Commercial Plaza development plan, the marketing and marketing department submitted a report that the cinema should be an indispensable element, and after internal discussions, it was finally decided that "in addition to the previous 6 shopping malls to reinvest heavily in the renovation and renovation of cinemas, All Wanda Commercial Plazas invested after 2003 must have cinemas as supporting facilities." What's even more bizarre is that they were originally going to cooperate with Time Warner to jointly open a theater project, but then Time Warner picked a pick, and from 04 to early 05, their theater construction was at a standstill, but then they went it alone and formed the Wanda Cinema Line. Ding Wei smiled.

"There is such a thing, but your information is really detailed enough, and even they have invested in the opening of the theater, and it has been developing for so long. Are there only 5 directly opened theaters now? Lin Yuquan also smiled.

"After a long delay, the construction of the new cinema was restarted in the second half of last year, judging by the situation of their existing commercial plaza. Cinemas will be built in these commercial plazas, which is conservatively estimated. They may open 8-10 theaters this year. Ding Wei said slowly.

"The construction of cinemas in large commercial plazas can be said to be the best geographical location, and backed by real estate companies, cinemas in terms of rent, management fees are very preferential, and there is no need to worry about encountering vicious competition from others. Fortunately, they mainly rely on Wanda Commercial Plaza to build a cinema directly under them, due to the long construction cycle of large commercial plazas, although their development speed is not slow, but it will not be too fast, this is our advantage, what we have to do is to seize ahead of them, quickly and accurately build more cinemas, the soldiers are expensive and fast, and the things on the cinema investment must be decided as soon as possible. Lin Yuquan said and flipped to the management of each theater in the information: "Do you have a suitable candidate in mind to form a theater chain?" ā€

"Chinese film star beauty since the establishment of the theater reform in 02. In the past four years, it has always ranked among the top three theaters in the country, and its strength is very amazing. This shows that their management is very good, and we might as well poach among them. "Ding Zhijian yƬ said.

"Poaching directly among them is likely to cause dissatisfaction with Chinese film stars, and this is not like looking for directors and actors, we are not clear about the situation of theater management, it is difficult to judge the actual level of a person, if the person who poached is not suitable, it will be bad, professional things will be done by professional people, or contact headhunting companies. Let them be responsible for helping us find people, in this regard. Others have more ways than us, not limited to domestic. Excellent management talents from abroad can also help us find them. Lin Yuquan shook his head and smiled.

"That's right, then I'll contact a few headhunters right later and start looking for someone." Ding Wei nodded.

"Well, this is the list of actors auditioning, and you then ask Director He to contact the actors for audition and arrange the venue and time for the audition." Lin Yuquan picked up an A4 piece of paper from the table and handed it to Ding.

"The audition venue has been chosen a long time ago, even if it is tomorrow." Ding Wei glanced at the list and said.

"Tomorrow, Lao Ding, you are too ruthless, you have to give others time to hurry!" Lin Yuquan smiled dumbly.

"I'm just talking." Din then left his office.

Lin Yuquan looked intently at the theater information in his hand, and not long after, the mobile phone rang, and after looking at the caller ID, he answered the phone with a smile on his face: "Director Zhang, which gust of wind blew your phone over?" ā€

"What else can it be, you, your movements are really fast as always, and you have started a new movie." Zhang Yi's hearty voice rang on the other end of the phone.

"Aren't you also preparing your "City Full of Golden Armor"? The two of us are each other, and neither of us is slow. Lin Yuquan smiled.

"How can it be the same, my "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" was completed a long time earlier than your "Red Cliff", and I was about to start forming a cast, and you rushed ahead of me again, of course, forget it, the problem is that the actor I originally planned to find is you, the second prince Yuanjie in my movie can be said to be none other than you, and even told Wei Ping that if you join, he will give me an extra 50 million budget, and now there is no drama." Zhang Yi was angry and resentful.

"Hehe, let's talk about it, it's because I didn't join, and I have a budget of 50 million less, I'm curious, how much do you expect to pay me and martial arts instructors." Lin Yuquan asked after a happy moment.

"Pack 30 million, no way, I don't have as much money as you." What Zhang Yi said was obviously Li Lianjie's sky-high salary.

"You also believe the media reports, but the remuneration you gave me is really small enough, fortunately I didn't come to shoot, otherwise it would have become cheap labor." I have known Zhang Yimou for so long, and in front of him, Lin Yuquan is relatively casual.

"No matter how little it is, how little can it be, where is Applejack's worth! Don't say anything else, you have to help me with martial arts guidance this time, don't worry, I'm not as picky as Feng Xiaogang, if you help me, I'll give you guidance and consultant fees. Zhang Yi said with a smile, unceremoniously mocking Feng Xiaogang.

"Of course it's no problem to help you, I don't charge for it, anyway, the consultant fee you give me is definitely not much, but if there is a suitable role, consider the artists of our Yuquan family!" Lin Yuquan said directly.

"You are a naked exchange of interests, I am a character in a Chinese blockbuster, you only use a consultant martial arts guide in exchange, it's too ruthless." Zhang Yi scolded with a smile, but he agreed directly, not to mention the relationship with Lin Yuquan, at the last world premiere in Lijiang, all the artists of the Yuquan family came to help.

"Director Zhang, you can be content, ordinary people can't change it if they want to, I'm not such a casual person." Lin Yuquan took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"I won't argue with you about this, this time I will suffer a loss, by the way, how much are you going to invest in this new movie? The most important thing is how much to announce to the outside world. Zhang Yi said with concern, with the previous comparison between "Wuji" and "Red Cliff", he didn't want the same situation to happen to him again.

"There is no exact number, at least 300 million, and it will be announced to the outside world." Lin Yuquan didn't need to ask to know why Zhang Yi asked like this.

"Okay, you're really rich, but can't you say more when you announce it? You only said 300 million, what should I say! Zhang Yi was full of helplessness.

"Mine is more than 300 million, there is room for floating, how much do you want to announce to the outside world, you can do it yourself, in fact, there is no need to deliberately exaggerate, everyone is not stupid, everyone knows that there is moisture." Lin Yuquan shook his head and said.

"Hey, you think I think, but I'm not alone in deciding these things." Zhang Yi sighed, chatted for a few more sentences, and hung up the phone.

Lin Yuquan stood in front of the window, looking at the scenery outside, thinking about the next cinema investment, auditions and other things, and after a while, he dialed He Liwen's phone: "On the actor audition staff, add one more person, and I will send you her name and contact information immediately, okay."
