Chapter 214: Playing the Score?
Chapter 214 Posing the Score?
Wen Yi is now popular, and the success of several consecutive movies has given him a unique advantage in terms of box office appeal. And now that the potential of the Chinese film market is getting bigger and bigger, it is impossible for Hollywood to turn a blind eye. It's not uncommon to add oriental elements to the film, or invite some celebrities to play a dispensable soy sauce role.
This was true in previous lives, and this world is still like this.
But Wen Yi felt that the invitation to this film appointment did not seem to be so simple.
If you look at the box office appeal of Wenyi in China, it goes without saying. There's a good chance that the character's background will change as a result. After all, whether it is a Japanese boxer or a Chinese boxer, they are all boxers. Moreover, he is not the male protagonist yet, and it is simply easy to change the script.
If you look at Wen Yi's influence in the martial arts world above, then this film is a pit to put it bluntly.
Once Wen Yi takes over, I am afraid that the overwhelming negative news will come out immediately, and the Japanese martial arts community will definitely fan the flames. Aren't you Wenyi awesome? Isn't it very capable of fighting? How did he get to Hollywood, and he had to play a Japanese boxer. That proves that Japanese boxers are more marketable in Europe and the United States than Chinese boxers.
What's more, they can also use Wen Yi to take on this role, so as to promote Japanese martial arts and fight Chinese kung fu.
However, Wen Yi didn't know if she was thinking about complicated things. But if it were a different film company, Wen Yi might not think so.
Wen Yi asked Sister Wen to reply like that, in fact, he also knew that he might not be able to get the answer he wanted. Wen Yi may be popular in China and is very famous, but in Europe and the United States. Maybe only in the film industry. There's a little bit of fame. Just a little bit. And not as an actor.
But. If the other party really likes his box office appeal in China and modifies the background of the character, it will be a happy event for him.
However, such an opportunity is estimated to be very slim.
To put it mildly, Wen Yi is so picky, and he doesn't have the capital to pick and choose at this time...... This stands at the top of the world one of the great directors, who he invited. Especially the actors in Huaxia, it is estimated that no one can resist it.
Wenyi is popular in China, and her box office appeal is also very strong. But it's not someone else's only option.
"Jason, that friend of yours seems to have rejected your kindness!" Lucas looked at Jason, smiled, and said, "He turned down my invitation!" ”
"How is that possible! Could it be that there is something wrong with his schedule? That would be a pity. Jason was surprised at first, and then said with some regret.
"Nope! It's not that he can't adjust the schedule. The reason for his refusal was that he did not play a Japanese boxer! Lucas looked at Jason and shook his head in some incomprehension. He passed up an excellent opportunity. ”
"Oh! My great director, please understand. You've probably heard of his feud with a Japanese boxer. Karate master Ichiro Miyamoto was killed in the ring by him. The Grand Master of Aikido was torn off his arm in the ring by him. I even heard that he was assassinated by the Japanese martial arts community. What's more, he is now a signboard of Chinese kung fu and is very influential in the martial arts world, but it is a little inappropriate to take over the role of a Japanese boxer. When Jason heard this, he quickly explained, as if he was afraid that Lucas would be angry about it.
"And you still recommend him to me?" Lucas smiled and said. However, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, and he seemed to understand why the investor made a decision so simply when he heard the invitation to Wen Yi. You know, it's the starring Jason, who still fought hard for himself.
"Trust me, he's the perfect fit! He's a genius at the top of the movie. He has made several films in a row in China and even in Asia. Even the recently released "Infernal Affairs" in Asia came out of his pen. Jason then said, "Two days ago, I heard director Francisco want to win the copyright adaptation of this film!" ”
"My Mr. James, I need actors, not screenwriters, or directors!" Lucas said with a smile and shook his head.
"He's just as talented at acting. He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his first role, and Best Actor for his first lead. Although he didn't win an award in the end, it proves his talent in acting. What's more, the most important thing is that he is a kung fu master, and in terms of image and temperament, he doesn't need to act at all, he already has it. Jason said, looking at Lucas.
"But he doesn't take it now, and it's not suitable anymore." Lucas smiled and said. Lucas, as a director, and a big director, naturally has his own principles. If it weren't for Wen Yi's suitability, even if Jason recommended it, he wouldn't have paid attention to it.
When Jason heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I read the script, and I changed the background of that character to make it a Chinese boxer, which will not affect the film at all." Moreover, this Chinese film market is definitely more popular. ”
"Do you think investors will agree?" Lucas looked at Jason and said.
"Oh!" Jason was speechless. The investment company has a Japanese background, which may be why the character is a Japanese boxer.
Wen Yi turned down Hollywood's offer. This news spread far and wide, and instantly set off a lot of turmoil in the Chinese entertainment industry.
For Chinese actors, too many people want to go abroad and enter Hollywood. This has nothing to do with the admiration of foreign flattery. It is an indisputable fact that Chinese movies are inferior to Hollywood.
If it can be like Hollywood, that is a symbol of awesomeness!
Invited by Hollywood, but also a big director, big production zuò. This is much more classy than sending it directly to the door, and it is much better than mixing a soy sauce character. After all, it was a male number two.
Many people don't understand Wen Yi, this kind of thing like pie in the sky, Wen Yi actually refused. Moreover, the reason for refusal is rather strange, at least in the eyes of many filmmakers, that reason is strange.
Don't play a Japanese boxer! For such a reason, many actors who are envious and jealous of Wen Yi for being invited by Hollywood have to say the word "service" in their hearts!
Of course, more are yet to come.
Ask for a script change! Change the script, I'll act!
Of course, this is pure falsehood. Wen Yi does not play a Japanese boxer, if he changes to a Chinese boxer, he will act. In a sense, it can really be said that it is a request to change the script.
Chinese actors, it is already a great luck to be invited by Hollywood. And Wen Yi actually refused to say it, and directly asked to change the script. In the eyes of many people, this score is big.
However, there are still many people who support Wen Yi.
From an actor's point of view, no matter what you play, it's a profession. Playing a Japanese boxer is just one of many characters, and Kenmoto has no problem. But Wenyi is not a simple actor after all.
The Japanese boxer, and he is also a grandmaster-level boxer, is carried in his hands one after another, playing the role of a Japanese boxer, which is undoubtedly a loss.
Some of the scores are really on display!
The actor's Poole can't swing, but the boxer's score can't not swing. Moreover, there is nothing wrong with the placement. It's just the overlap of Wen Yi's two identities that makes people have a rhetoric.
Wen Yi didn't pay attention to what people outside said, but just filmed "My Sassy Girlfriend" with peace of mind, as if this thing had never been born at all.
"My Sassy Girlfriend" was filmed, neither the exterior nor the scene was very big, so it naturally didn't take much time to shoot. Although it is not like the previous Xiangjiang films, a film can be shot in a few days, or even a day. But in less than a month, it was finished. In today's movies, it's also fast.
The film was completed, Wen Yi did not do any publicity, and even a media did not notify him, which was very low-key like the start-up. However, during this time, because of the rumor that Wen Yi rejected Hollywood, it became the focus of media pursuit, and the completion of this film naturally could not be hidden from the media.
After filming a film in less than a month, the words "shoddy" were instantly pressed on the head of Wen Yi's new film "My Sassy Girlfriend" by countless media.
As a result, this film has not yet been released, and it is mostly negative news.
However, this has no impact on Wen Yi, I wonder if it was "Crazy Stone" or "Source Code" before it was released, wasn't it all negative news? (To be continued......)
