Chapter 259: Making a Cartoon......
The war of words between Wang Li and his brokerage company did not attract the attention of many media at first, at most it was reported by some Xiangjiang media, and there was also some news on the Internet. But then because of Wen Yi's intervention, the attention of many media was immediately attracted.
Between Wen Yi and Wang Li, in the eyes of many people, the relationship is still good. Although Wang Li is not an actor in Wen Yi's company, Wen Yi always likes to invite Wang Li when making films.
Wen Yi's first film "Crazy Stone", although it is a comedy, also invited Wang Li. Moreover, the actors in that film can be said to be the most famous Wang Li, but Wang Li is willing to play a supporting role. At that time, when this film came out, many people still didn't understand why Wang Li depreciated himself to star in such a film.
Wang Li met in Xu Ke's movie "Huang Feihong", and later cooperated in the film "Ip Man" invested by Wen Yi. In the eyes of many people, Wang Li's appearance in "Crazy Stone" is just because of the personal relationship between the two.
But no one thought that his move would bring him great benefits.
Wen Yi was a blockbuster, and then filmed the sci-fi suspense film "Source Code", and invited Wang Li, in which he had an excellent performance, and then Wen Yi's "Resident Evil" Although Wang Li did not star, Wen Yi still invited him, but it was just a matter of schedule, and he didn't have a chance.
However, although these films are helpful to Wang Li, they are far from the film "Kung Fu" cooperated by Wen Yi and Hollywood.
Wen Yi doesn't know how many Chinese actors want to show their faces in the film, but who would have thought that Wen Yi actually invited Wang Li, who is not an artist from his company.
Lin Yuyan and Yuan Fang are both artists highly praised by Wenyi's Jiayi Company. In Kung Fu. The appearance of an important character was not unexpected.
But Wang Li was invited to star. This came as a surprise to many people. Among them is Wang Li himself. Even if I was invited, I thought it was just a soy sauce character, but who would have thought that this role would still be very outstanding in the film, especially the chase scene with Wen Yi, and the later fight on the roof railing, which can be said to be a highlight in the whole film.
And Wang Li also rose with this film, and his salary has risen a lot.
Wang Li's signing of Jiayi Company undoubtedly added fuel to the previous gossip between him and his brokerage company.
It's because of the contract. Wang Li fell out with his brokerage company, or did Jiayi company poach people? There are many opinions. However, with Jiayi Company joining it, public opinion is no longer one-sided, and many media have begun to favor Wang Li.
Not to mention a ten-year contract, it is a five-year contract, which is extremely harsh, not to mention that for a well-known actor like Wang Li, it is extremely harsh for newcomers.
In the entertainment industry. Contract disputes between celebrities and brokerage companies, and poaching between companies. Celebrities have jumped ship, and there is not a lot of gossip news like this. The persistence of its popularity is also limited.
Wang Li signed a contract with Jiayi Company, and there was no need for his previous brokerage company to damage Wang Li. This is clearly not in the interest of their company. What's more, they don't want to get into too much trouble with Wenyi and Jiayi.
However, He Jiayi Company took over Liangzi. After all, the purpose of using Wang Li to make an example of chickens and monkeys has not been achieved.
Wang Li signed a contract with Jiayi Company, which made his worth increase unabated. Moreover, it is rumored that Wang Li will participate in the film that Wen Yi collaborated with Lionsgate and Brad.
This undoubtedly pushed Wang Li to the world stage. As for where he can go. Then it is unknown. However, the bad guys are now cooperating with Hollywood superstars, and their value has changed.
In the sequel to "Infernal Affairs", Wen Yi's scene was filmed, the script of "The Expendables" was gradually improved, and speculation about Wen Yi's new film was immediately discussed on the Internet.
Wen Yi's pace is very fast, after a film is completed, there will be news of a new film coming out, which seems to be a regular pattern of Wen Yi's filmmaking.
Wen Yi is the most famous, and in the eyes of everyone, he is the best at it, which is undoubtedly a kung fu movie. The previous "Ip Man", now "Kung Fu", which film is not a box office hit, especially "Kung Fu" has now been painted, directly breaking the box office record in the Chinese mainland market, becoming the first film to break the box office of one billion. And Xiangjiang and Baodao both broke box office records and became the champion of the Chinese film box office list.
And the overseas box office is undoubtedly more than the Chinese market. The North American box office won $400 million at the box office, whether it is a Chinese film or a co-production, it is unprecedented. The box office in Europe, the United States, and the rest of Asia combined, surpassed the North American box office, reaching $500 million.
This "Kung Fu" directly broke through the box office of one billion US dollars, not to mention the first place in Chinese films, and it also has a place in the world movie box office list.
Although "Kung Fu" is a co-production, after all, it is from the hands of Wen Yi, and the film style has a deep Chinese imprint.
No matter how many records this film has broken, and no matter how much he makes money from this film, after all, this film has passed, and instead of talking about how this film is, it is better to guess what type of film Wen Yi will shoot in his next film.
Wen Yi's films always seem to be unexpected.
When people thought he was going to make kung fu movies, he was shooting comedies. When people thought he was going to make comedies, he made science fiction films. has been unexpected several times in a row, and speculation about Wen Yi's new film seems to have become an indispensable thing on the Internet after the release of Wen Yi's film.
It's just that there weren't many people involved in speculation before, but now there are more and more of them.
From the films shot by Wen Yi, it can be seen that Wen Yi is good at action and uses suspense extremely well, which can be seen from his "Source Code" and "Resident Evil".
And Jean Nature is also good at comedy, this "Crazy Stone" is still talked about, and the first half of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is still very comedic.
Of course, romance films can be regarded as the type of films that Wen Yi is good at. Although there is only one "My Sassy Girlfriend" today, the influence of this film is still there.
Action, Drama, Sci-Fi, Comedy, Romance......
There are countless speculations about Wen Yi on the Internet, and they all say a lot of reasons. However, what is strange is that there are the least people who speculate that Wen Yi's new film shoots kung fu movies, and there are not even many people who have guessed that he is going to shoot horror movies.
It's no wonder that those Internet fans, after all, Wen Yi rarely shoots the same film continuously, except for the one provoked by Lu Ming and Bona Film and Television, it is estimated that "Resident Evil" will not be filmed immediately after "Source Code".
However, this time, no one on the Internet guessed it.
"What! Cartoon! Zhang Rong looked at Wen Yi, his eyes widened, and he had an expression of disbelief. He was really shocked this time, and even had 10,000 alpacas whirling and swaying in the depths of his heart. He felt incredible.
"Why can't you shoot cartoons? You wouldn't think that cartoons are all for children, right? Wen Yi smiled and said.
"Not what I thought. Yes, most people in China think so! Who do you make cartoons for? It is said that you have an extremely unique grasp of the market, why do you want to shoot an animated film this time! Zhang Rong was a little incomprehensible.
He came this time to see if there was a chance to get a role in Wen Yi's new film. Although he has no shortage of acting, what makes him depressed is that those movies that he thought would bring him a lot of benefits are not as good as "My Sassy Girlfriend" that he helped star in before.
What's more, Wen Yi is now a fragrant bait. Whoever has a relationship with him, whose exposure rate will rise. Wang Li was only in conflict with the economic company before, but it did not attract media attention at all, but as soon as he signed a contract with Jiayi Company and got involved with Wenyi, he was immediately hyped by the media.
It's just that Zhang Rong never expected Wen Yi to make cartoons. Animated films, this type of film is more blank than science fiction films in China, and there is no market! (To be continued......)
