Chapter 259: A New Journey

The income of showbiz stars has always been an extremely sensitive topic, and the handsome men and women who interpret a glorious life under the flash are secretive about their behind-the-scenes stories. @頂@点@小@说,

On the third day after Wang Xu's press conference, the well-known blogger Changchun International Trade broke out a list of appearance fees for the seven stars of "Running Brothers", which revealed that Wang Xu's appearance fees were as high as 60 million.

As soon as the news came out, it shocked the entertainment industry, causing netizens to shout: 60 million! It's enough for my brother to change to a luxury car and bubble a girl, and it's not the same for 60 days!

In this list, the appearance fees of the seven stars of "Running Brothers" are roughly as follows: Wang Xu 50 million to 60 million, Deng Chao 10 million to 15 million, baby 8 million to 10 million, Wang Baoqiang 7 million to 8 million, Li Chen and Chen He 6 million to 7 million, Zheng Kai 3 million to 4 million,

This valuation of the appearance fees of the seven stars of "Running Brothers" exceeded 100 million yuan, which shocked the industry with such a large amount, especially Wang Xu's appearance fee is the sum of the other six stars, and the sum of the appearance fees of the four top mentors of "The Voice of China".

Does anyone question that Wang Xu's worth is inflated? A certain program also deliberately consulted industry insiders to distinguish the authenticity. According to the estimation of this person who has been an artist coordinator for many years, this list of appearance fees is relatively reliable. But then there were media reports that Wang Xu's appearance packaging fee for one season was actually 80 million, Deng Chao's appearance fee was not less than 20 million, and Angelababy, Wang Baoqiang, Li Chen, and Chen He's remuneration was also likely to exceed 10 million.

A reporter interviewed Yu Hangying, the chief director of Running Man, and she said with confidence: "The value of each of them is there, and I can say that this is the highest in similar programs." ”

Are the revelations of netizens and the valuations of industry insiders too conservative?

The appearance fee of the running men's team exceeded 100 million, plus the production cost of each episode of the show, some netizens estimated that the total production cost of the first season of "Running Brothers" was between 150 million and 200 million. The production cost of a variety show is comparable to that of a big movie. This news is really terrible for the variety show industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Compared with variety shows such as "I Am a Singer" and "The Voice of China" in the mainland, which have a budget of 10 million yuan, the budget of each episode of the daily broadcast of "Kangxi is Coming" (except for Cai Kangyong and Xiao S's remuneration) is only 500,000 Taiwan dollars (about 100,000 yuan), a gap of 100 times. And this is already the highest-budget talk show in Taiwan.

At this time, Wang Xu, who was on the cusp of public opinion, did not pay attention to the outside world's discussions, he has been in the company, and spent a lot of time exercising in the sports equipment room. Adjust your body to the best state for running, play games when you're tired, and read novels.

This morning, when he was running on the treadmill, an assistant took a copy of the latest box office data of "Moonlight Treasure Box", which was 12 days after the film was released, with a total box office of 1.25 billion.

According to this calculation, it is a foregone conclusion to break the box office myth created by himself.

"Journey to the West" is Zhou Xingchi's highest comedy achievement, and it is also the best comedy film evaluated by the audience in the past 30 years, and Zhou Xingchi himself did not surpass this achievement. Maybe that's the case, Zhou Xingchi gradually chose to transform into a director.

Wang Xu is also thinking about the same problem these days, and now after "Journey to the West", it is difficult for him to surpass the role of Supreme Treasure in comedy.

Of course, Zhou Xingchi still has a number of classic comedy movies that will continue to be launched, but he will reduce the production of comedy movies, one or two years a year, and he is already thinking about transformation.

In fact, his goal was not just comedy movies.

He still remembers that the first goal of his pursuit was to become famous and become an actor; This goal has been achieved with the help of "Never Expected" and "Let the Bullets Fly". The second goal is to target Wang Bo and become a 4 billion actor like him. Wang Xu achieved and exceeded the quota by remaking and imitating Zhou Xingchi's films.

Now he is more famous than Wang Bo at his peak, and he can already compete with Zhou Yan in the film industry. Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Ge You and others are comparable to ordinary superstars.

According to this, Wang Xu has come to an end on the road of being an actor? Of course not, even Chow Yun-fat. Jackie Chan is still working hard, only when fans have no expectations for you, or you have no new goals for yourself, it means that your acting career can be over.

If possible, I believe that Zhou Xingchi also hopes that he is not only the king of comedy in the Chinese world, but the king of comedy who is famous all over the world; If it's possible. Andy Lau also hopes that he is not only an ageless legend in the Chinese world, but a superstar who is famous all over the world.

There are not only Chinese-language movies in the world, the holder of the world's highest box office record "Avatar" is 2.7 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to 16.74 billion yuan.

Wang Xu is only 25 years old this year, he can't say that I am already a superstar now, choose to retire, that is an old man in his seventies and eighties, and he thinks like this without pursuit. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Zhou Yunfa all chose to go to Hollywood at the peak of their acting careers, because they wanted to challenge themselves on the bigger stage of Hollywood.

Wang Xu is also ready to follow in the footsteps of his teacher, he has an ambition that his film will not only dominate in China, but also want to show on the big stage of the world. Of course, the times are different, and now there is no need for him to go to Hollywood, where he is not familiar with his life, like the teacher back then, and the god of acting in the dignified Chinese world has started again from a small supporting role in Hollywood.

Nowadays, the Chinese film market is already the second largest box office in the world, and in recent years, more and more Hollywood films have cooperated with Chinese films, and the model of global collaboration has become more and more mature, and there is no need to go to Hollywood alone.

So will Wang Xu still enter the international market with comedy films, the answer is no, the reason is very simple, lack of good scripts. Don't look at "Journey to the West", "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance" swept the domestic market at the box office, and it would be good to be able to recover $1 million at the box office if it was released in the North American market, the reason is very simple, foreigners can't understand it.

This is also the reason why Wang Xu is thinking about transformation, before China has become a global hegemon like the United States, then Chinese films must consider the world's tastes if they want to show off on the world stage. So far, there are two types of Chinese elements that are most promising to break into the world market, one is kung fu films, and the second is science fiction films.

Wang Xu can't transform into a kung fu star, so there is only one science fiction film, which is his third goal, wanting to bring the starting point of Chinese fantasy novels to the big screen.

We ourselves say that fantasy is a genre of science fiction movies for foreigners.

Even if he can't enter the international market, he can move the stories of gods, demons and monsters he has seen to the big screen, which is also Wang Xu's personal interest and love, just like he copied Zhou Xingchi's movies in this time and space.

Before carrying out this plan, Wang Xu first had to consider transformation, get rid of comedians, and return to an actor. In fact, participating in "Run, Brother" is also an opportunity for him to transform, the reality show is to show the real side of the star to the audience, he wants to show the audience the different side of him Wang Xu and the nonsensical actor in the movie to the audience, and show his fans and fans.

After paying attention to it, Wang Xu left the gym and happened to meet Chen Ruan, who came to inform her that she would go to Hangzhou in three days, and the seven men's running teams would get together for the first time.

Three days later, Wang Xu arrived in Hangzhou, and when he stepped down the spiral staircase of the plane, he knew that not only did he run his brother, but his acting career also began to run on a new, unknown path.

The road ahead may be a broad avenue, or it may be a rugged mountain road full of thorns.

[There's only one chapter today.,Because I'm not very satisfied with the plot design of the running man.,Part of the code was deleted.,Think about it again tonight.] 】

[The protagonist's movies later turned from comedies to other types of films, and also began to move from domestic to foreign. 】

[The process of going abroad must face some unexpected difficulties, and it is not as smooth sailing as before. Many book friends have actually realized that the plot of the first 600,000 words of this book has no ups and downs, that is, there are no contradictions and conflicts, and the light-hearted and humorous elements have seen too much of your fatigue, and I am bored to write.

So it will be adjusted from the sixth volume onwards. (To be continued......)
