Chapter 257 Chinese Partners Finale
Chen Ruan is quite satisfied with the sincerity of the column group, and the franchise fee of 58 million has created the largest franchise fee for Chinese variety show stars, but unfortunately it must be kept secret and cannot be announced to the public. ⊙ top novel,
The sky-high franchise fee of about 60 million Zhejiang * Jiang TV is also satisfied, they calculated an account, Wang Xu's current salary for a movie is 20 million, and it is expected that "Big Talk" will rise to 25 million and Andy Lau and Tony Leung at the same level. He joined the first season of "Running Brothers", all 15 episodes of the show are equivalent to making a movie, plus the particularity of the show, the stars are abused, and it will be doubled, 58 million is an acceptable price for both parties.
Finally negotiated the contract, Chen Ruan Ke was happy, and hurriedly called Wang Xu, but he didn't get through. Of course, it can't be through, Wang Xu is at the finale press conference of "Chinese Partner" at this time.
Wang Xu's low-key appearance detonated the cheers of fans and reporters in the audience.
There are two reasons why he attended the press conference this time, one reason is that he is one of the investors of the film, and the second reason is to help Huang Sect Leader, Huang Sect Leader has participated in his two celebration banquets, when he got married, Huang Sect Leader injured his leg while filming, and someone in a wheelchair recorded a VCR and sent it, so Wang Xu owes Huang Sect Leader a favor.
In addition, there is a special reason, Huang Xiaoming has to call him senior brother.
This is all the relationship between Zhou Runfa.
Last year, Huang Xiaoming and Zhou Runfa collaborated on a movie "Big Shanghai", at the film press conference, Huang Xiaoming respectfully bowed in front of the other two leading actors Sammo Hung and Wu Zhenyu, as well as many reporters, and Zhou Yunfa also accepted this apprentice on the spot.
At that time, Wang Xu and Zhuang Xiaodie were on their honeymoon and were unable to attend the scene, but he also recorded a box of VCR and sent it to the press conference to congratulate the teacher on having one more apprentice. I also congratulate myself on having a handsome junior brother.
Although Wang Xu has not performed the apprenticeship ceremony, the master-apprentice friendship between him and Zhou Yunfa has been praised by the media in the past three years.
Of course, he was the senior brother first.
Since the two have such an intimate relationship, of course they are very happy to meet. The two hugged each other, Huang Xiaoming called Wang Xu Senior Brother, and Wang Xu called him Brother Xiao Ming.
After a few words of greeting between the two brothers. Wang Xiaoming introduced Deng Chao and Tong Dawei.
"Hello Brother Sledgehammer!"
"When the two big brothers look at it, I'll call me a sledgehammer."
"Hehe, those, then we'll call you a sledgehammer. Congratulations on your new film breaking 100 million on the first day and selling well! ”
"Thank you!"
Wang Xu lowered himself, so that everyone talked in a more friendly atmosphere. At this time, the staff moved a sofa chair, and Huang Xiaoming invited Wang Xu to sit together.
So Wang Xu, the three leading actors and the director, and the five of them sat on the stage together for an interview. Wang Xu was sitting between Huang Xiaoming and Deng Chao, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he made everyone laugh.
He took the microphone and looked at the three actors on the left and right. said to the reporters in the audience: "Look, I'm such a handsome person, it's just like sitting here." ”
"Hahaha!" The audience burst into laughter, and the director and the three leading actors on the stage all laughed, especially Huang Xiaoming's mouth opened when he smiled, revealing two deep dimples.
The atmosphere at the scene was joyful with Wang Xu.
The first question the reporter asked Wang Xu was to ask him to predict the box office of "Moonlight Treasure Box". Wang Xu hugged his fist to the reporter and said: "Please give me face, don't ask questions that are not related to the theme of the press conference, if you ask me how much the box office of "Chinese Partner" is. I'm willing to tell you my predictions, would you like to know? ”
Needless to say. Of course I want to know.
After a pause, Wang Xu said: "I am very optimistic about "Chinese Partner", first, the script is very good, it tells the story of the past 30 years of reform and opening up, it is a movie about success and dreams, there is a sentence in the film that shocked me a little, that is, 'success is not the most important.' The most important thing is dignity', because now many people are increasingly abandoning their dignity in their pursuit of success. I really wanted to participate, but I was a little late when I saw the script, and I missed the opportunity to be an actor. Then you can no longer exceed the opportunity to invest;
The second is the guidance of director Chen Kexin, Director Chen is a great director I admire, he is one of the few top directors who can accurately grasp the film market in Hong Kong, the mainland, and Taiwan and Bay. ”
Chen Kexin smiled modestly, looked at Wang Xu and said: "Don't praise me, who doesn't know that Wang Xu's two words are the real box office guarantee now, your new film broke 100 million on the first day, it's really amazing, congratulations!" ”
Seeing that Chen Kexin took the initiative to talk about the hottest topic in the entertainment industry now, that is, the word-of-mouth of Wang Xu's new film appeared both ice and fire, and immediately seized the opportunity to ask Chen Kexin: "Director Chen, I know that you have watched the complete sample of "Journey to the West", what is your evaluation of Wang Xu's new film?" ”
If Wang Xu himself was not there, Chen Kexin might have avoided talking about it, but now he said his evaluation: "Yes, Wang Xu invited me to watch the sample film, and I was fortunate to watch it." Frankly speaking, I think "Journey to the West" is a monument to Chinese films, in this movie I saw Wang Xu's superb performance, and he is the best comedian I have seen so far, not because Wang Xu said this in front of me today. ”
Chen Kexin glanced at the smiling Wang Xu and continued: "I have also made a lot of comedy movies, and "Chinese Partner" is also a touching friendship comedy. I would like to take this opportunity to correct a concept for everyone, in fact, anyone can act in comedy, it's just a matter of what kind of comedy, good actors can play all kinds of plays. But comedy is difficult to act, and comedians are actually the best acters.
Why do you say that, this is my experience, the importance of actors in comedy is greater than that of other films, if it is a police film, a literary film, the director is more important, comedy If you don't have a good comedian, it will be difficult for the director to shoot well even if he can fly. ”
Wang Xu was happy and a little embarrassed by what Director Chen Kexin said, and quickly led the topic to the topic: "Director Chen, I'm really embarrassed for your praise like this, go back to the question I haven't answered just now."
The third reason why I am very optimistic about "Chinese Partner" is that there are Huang Xiaoming, Deng Chao, and Tong Dawei joining, you see that there are good scripts, good directors, and good actors, and I have no reason not to be optimistic about the box office. I'm personally optimistic that the box office is expected to be between 1 billion and 1.3 billion, anyway, I'm ready to count the money. ”
Chen Kexin, Wang Xiaoming, Deng Chao and others were all happy, because they were not so optimistic. Because a movie like "Chinese Partner" about dreams and success is a bold attempt, Chen Kexin didn't dare to think that there would be a box office of more than 1 billion no matter how optimistic he was.
The theme of the next interview revolved around the filming footage, and an hour later, the press conference ended, and the filmmakers arranged a small drinking party.
It was already ten o'clock in the evening when Wang Xu returned to the hotel after drinking, and he checked his mobile phone for several text messages, several of which were greetings from his wife, and two text messages. One is that Chen Ruan informed that "Run, Brother" has negotiated all the contract details, and she will rush to Shanghai with the column team tomorrow to meet with him to sign the contract; The second text message is that the box office of "Moonlight Treasure Box" was 123 million on the second day of its release, and the box office has remained over 100 million for two consecutive days.
It's a good thing in pairs. (To be continued......)
