Chapter 721 Fast and Furious 5

Next chapter

"Degree and Passion 3" was filmed in O5 and released in O6, costing $850,000 and grossing 620,000 at the North American box office. > net

"Degree and Passion 4" was filmed in O8 and released in O9, costing $850,000 and grossing 150 million at the North American box office.

It can be said that the results of these two films are very bad, and Universal not only did not make any money, but also lost some. Even so, the company still trusts Lin Yibin and gives him the opportunity to direct the fifth part.

This logic is magical, especially in Hollywood's red fruit places...... Uh, Chu Qing couldn't figure it out anyway.

When the first part was filmed, Vin Diesel went from penniless to popular, and the second part was even worse. So the third part began to play a big name and collapsed with the world.

You also know with your toes that a muscular man with facial paralysis like him is a death if he leaves the soil of survival. So after he hit the street continuously, he didn't dare to put up a shelf anymore and honestly returned to the fourth part.

Vin Diesel made the right decision and made a successful comeback with this film. Originally, he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and start the fifth part immediately, but because of various incidents, it has been delayed until this year.

Universal obviously wants to do a big job, and is expected to invest 120 million, and find all the personality characters that appeared in the first four parts, and prepare a pot of stew.

The creative team's ambition is also clear: multi-character, multi-race, just to break into the market of different ethnicities. And from the first part to the present, exactly ten years, the nostalgic card is proper.

For example: Vince in "Degree 1", who is the only person who doubts Brian's identity as a police officer, will officially return after being expelled for nearly 1o.

In "Degree 2", the black Roman and technical nerd Terga are comical, one is responsible for comedy, and the other is responsible for electronic support.

Gizelle in "Degree 4", that is, Israel's long-legged Gal Gadot, is still the face of the fifth part, and there are a lot more scenes.

As for Han, heheda, how could they let it go!

Before, Lin Yibin had thought about Chu Qing's addition of drama, but there was not enough capital at any time. It's good now, whether it's the script setting or the actor's coffee position, it's enough for him to stick to his opinion.

Universal is not stupid, keenly aware of the slightest opportunity, and makes decisions every minute.

Then why is he said to be the king?

If other companies want to break into the Chinese market, they have to work hard to create a special version, the characters are pale, the plot is abrupt, and the accent is touching...... Even a fool can see that it is purely human-shaped.

Chu Qing is different, he has the foundation of the first two episodes, has the glory of the Golden Globe Actor, and has a certain degree of world recognition, which is not hard and wide, but "a real Chinese actor who plays an important role in Hollywood blockbusters." ”

Therefore, it is not how good "Degree 5" is, not how appealing Chu Qing is, the sum of the two is logical.

……

At the beginning of February, "Sword Rain" was finishing in Hengdian.

Chu Qing filmed this drama very tired, with a lot of things and troubles, from beginning to end. Especially Master Liu's performance, he follows every scene, guides every scene, and worries about inside and outside the play.

Seeing that it was about to be completed, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and then he received the script of "Degree 5".

It is said that after Don, Brian, and Mia were wanted, they lived a life of exile. On this day, Brian and Mia come to Rio de Janeiro to find their former partner Vince.

Vince introduces them to a business, steals a few sports cars, and finds Don. As a result, Mia fell in love with one of them and kept it a secret.

The employer of this business is a high-ranking government official in Rio de Janeiro. Hidden in that car was a chip that recorded his drug trading network and the cache of black money, amounting to $100 million.

You said that Mao wanted to hide the chip in the car? You ask me, who do I ask? Maybe the screenwriter felt that the chip was too eye-catching, so he used a limited edition luxury sports car to cover it up, which was less eye-catching.

Meanwhile, Luke, an agent in the Alliance, has been hunting down Don and Brian. So the three parties fought, and in order to retaliate and get money, the two gathered people and horses and scraped the treasury of high-ranking officials...... In the end, Luke also laid a net, and the impending mountain rain woke up the zombie king who had been sleeping for a hundred years...... Ah, it's a show!

In short, Chu Qing watched it casually, this is another standard popcorn blockbuster. But when she saw a third, she suddenly scratched her head: Huh? Han's role seems to be a bit too much!

Don, Mia, Brian, Tech Ota...... plus Dwayne Johnson, who plays the policeman, there are a total of 13 main characters in the film. Among the 13 people, the appearance rate is second only to the double protagonist, which is on par with Johnson.

"Heh......"

At this time, late at night, Chu Qing nested on the sand of the suite, tasted the taste, and couldn't help laughing.

"What's silly?"

After Fan Xiaoye finished smearing the incense, he came over and sat on her husband's lap. She couldn't read the English script, and she was very congested at this time.

"It's okay, it's a little bit of a show."

"How much is that?"

"Count it as the number three." He thought about it.

"Wow, come and talk about one!"

Fan Xiaoye was very hilarious, bit his lip hard, and skillfully stuck out his tongue, and began to stir when it was wet. After being tired of it for a long time, she let go of her breathlessness, and then she was worried about something again, and asked, "Hey, how do you talk about your salary?" ”

"How much do you say?"

"Uh......"

She couldn't guess the market over there, and said tentatively: "Five million? ”

"Okay, then five million, you follow." He laughed.

"Huh?"

Fan Xiaoye was also startled, and he didn't look very confident.

In other words, Hollywood's remuneration system has a very complex calculation formula, if it is simplified, it is two aspects:

Golden Globe or Oscar, including awards and nominations.

He has starred in blockbuster films, including leading and supporting roles.

Take a standard comparison, before "Inception", Joseph's salary was only a few million, which belonged to the grade of the new generation of idol stars. After "Inception", it was also nominated for the Golden Globe Award, and officially crossed the 10 million level.

In Hollywood, the situation of Chinese actors is more helpless, which is roughly divided into three types:

One is valuable and marketable, such as Cheng Long, when he filmed "Around the World in 8o Days", his salary was added to dividends, and he frantically brushed over 25 million, but unfortunately his brilliant period in the United States was not long, and he quickly withdrew from high-end competition.

One is priceless, such as Li Lian and Zhou Yan. Li Lianlian's salary was killed by the brokerage company, and his brother's salary was killed by his sister-in-law, and the shouting was very high-profile, but except for those American companies that tested the water in the early days, no one was looking for it at all, and they could only mess around in the so-called blockbusters.

One is priceless and marketable, such as Chu Qing's goods. Although he won the Golden Globe Award, he took the route of U1T films, and he has never picked the lead in commercial films, and the salary has always been weird.

According to the domestic level, aside from personal preferences and human factors, it can really reach 18oo+. Of course, he can't compare with those blowouts, Li Lianlian can get 100 million for filming "Casting Names", please! Are investors crazy?

According to Hollywood standards, he is slightly worse than literary and artistic coffees such as Ethan **** and Ewan McGregor, floating between O-8oo million. With the amount of "Degree 5", Fan, just stuck in that gear, and Universal touched his chin and gave it.

……

In most movies, the protagonist with a sword/gun in his chest does not die. Because there is always a wine jug, jade pendant, moonlight treasure box or something, even if it doesn't, don't worry, the screenwriter still has a big move: the heart grows on the right!

Oh, you just say shameless is not shameless!

Su Zhaobin originally wanted to play this stalk, but Chu Qing categorically rejected it, so you just shoot the rivers and lakes honestly, don't be talented.

Today's scene is the penultimate scene before the finale, and it is also the end of the whole film. In the battle of Yunhe Temple, Han Chang was killed by the Wheel King, the Wheel King was killed by Zeng Jing, and Jiang Asheng was fed medicine by the lady, and he lay down and watched the whole process.

In the early morning, the sky is faintly bright.

The crew first found a courtyard, and then built it into the back garden of the ancient temple, with green trees, half green and half yellow, two rows of stone niches standing quietly, and several deserted tombs. The black and blue natural light spread from the sky, and layer by layer was painted into the garden, cold, quiet, and sad.

Chu Qing lay on the ground with his head on his side, his eyes glazed, and he seemed to be dead and motionless.

"Rustling ......"

The stalk of the weed pierced his face, and then it fell like a wind blowing. It was as if he had suddenly come to life, with a heartbeat, breathing, and twitching the muscles of his limbs.

After a night of fierce fighting, the ground was stained red with blood, and the surrounding area was full of corpses, and not far away, a woman was huddled. He struggled to get up, but his hands and feet stiffened, and he ran forward.

"Whew...... Whoop......"

The closer he got to the woman, the more he gasped, and at last he staggered a few steps and fell to his knees. I saw that Fei Hong was scattered, mixed with half-dry and half-wet blood, sticking to that beautiful face.

There were three wounds, two under the ribs, and the one behind it almost cut half of the body.

The injury, the red, was like a sword, stabbing Chu Qing fiercely, stabbing him painfully, and the pain was worse than death.

"Woo......"

He reached out and gently rubbed the woman's face, squeezing a trace of hiss out of his throat.

Jiang Asheng made an appointment to fight the Wheel King, and originally wanted to end this grievance, no matter what the result was, he had nothing to do with her. didn't want to, Zeng Jing chased after him, and made him fake his death and face the enemy alone.

He thought that he couldn't forgive the other party, and the biggest limit was not to kill, but at this moment, he really couldn't give up.

"Hmm......"

Yu Feihong's face was pressed against the back of his hand, as if he felt something, and suddenly moaned. Chu Qing immediately shook up, and hurriedly held her in his arms, still breathing, still alive.

“……”

He looked at the woman in his arms, raised his eyes again, and this time, it disappeared. Then, he picked up Yu Feihong, walked out of the temple step by step, and said softly: "Ah Jing, let's go home." ”

Yu Feihong's consciousness gradually sobered up, feeling the familiar body temperature, and said weakly: "When you go home, you can write me a letter of resignation." ”

"Heh......"

"What are you laughing at?"

She was angry, and when she saw that the other party did not answer, she asked, "Hey, if you had known my identity, what would you have done?" ”

"If I had known who you are, you wouldn't be with me."

"Why?"

"You won't marry me because I thought you wouldn't marry you because I cared about your identity."

"Heh, it's again."

…………

On February 4, "Sword Rain", which had been filmed for two months, was finally completed.

Before the start of this drama, this year's New Year file was set, so there was plenty of time in the later stage. In addition, "People in Embarrassment" was also completed not long ago.

In reality, because the filmmaker had too little experience in operation, he couldn't bear it, so he took this movie with the background of the Spring Festival to be released in the summer. Even so, it still received 50 million at the box office.

Now, the company would rather wait for ten months to be released during the Spring Festival. Xu Zheng has a little opinion, he is anxious about being a director for the first time.

Speaking of Chu Qing, after he returned to Beijing, he was busier than before, soaking in friends' houses and archives every day to collect opinions and evidence from all sides, and when he got home, he had to summarize and sort out, and it was the middle of the night.

Fan Xiaoye was distressed, but he couldn't persuade him, the film festival was a big deal, and he couldn't be sloppy at all. What she can do is take charge of the company's affairs and create a good back-end environment.

In the morning, the conference room.

Fan Xiaoyeju, Cheng Ying, Yang Fan, Lu Xiaojia, Ding Linglin and others formed a semicircle. According to the custom, in April every year, the company will determine the film and television plan for the year. But this year is different, because the variables of the movie are relatively large, and I can't say what the situation is.

"Today we will touch the project of the TV series, there is progress, there is a new script, there are ideas, you can talk about it."

Fan Xiaoye leaned back and said with a smile: "Come one by one, Sister Xiaoying!" ”

"There are three of them on my side, "The Beautiful Times of Daughter-in-law" has long been discussed, and it will be simulcast on Beijing TV and Dongfang TV, if nothing else, it should be next month. "Before Dawn" is still talking, and Beijing, Dongfang, Zhejiang*jiang, Chong*qing, and Yun*nan are all very interested. "Du Lala's Promotion" is a little worse, Beijing, Shenzhen, and Mango are all chasing, and Mango Station has the greatest sincerity. Cheng Ying opened her mouth and came.

""Before Dawn" is best simulcast, the price can be relaxed a little, you can grasp it yourself. Durala, add forty percent of the mango, and we will sell it. ”

“ok！” Cheng Ying responded.

After the words fell, Ding Linglin immediately continued: ""Yizhimei" is almost over, Jiang * Su, Zhejiang * Jiang, and Dongfang want to win the simulcast rights, and the price is okay." ”

She pushed over a copy of the text and said, "The specific one is here." ”

"Cheng, I'll look back."

Then, Yang Fan said again: "Lin Xinru has a project "The Princess of the World", which is also an IP adaptation, ask us if we are interested in cooperating?" ”

"Is there anything else?"

"I also found Mango Terrace."

"Uh......"

Fan Xiaoye knocked on the table and said, "Push it, we won't get any profits." ”

"Good!" Yang Fan nodded.

After waiting for a while, Fan Xiaoye combed it and said strangely: "Hey, don't you have a new script?" ”

“……”

With this question, everyone stared at Yang Fan in unison, and the thing shrugged his shoulders and acted innocently.

I think that at the beginning, the two of us were the first batch of companies to open IP, and dramas such as "Step by Step" made a lot of money. Other companies are not stupid, and they are also eyeing the fat of IP, and the slightly influential ones on the market are almost carved up.

And now the situation is that there is a script, but there is no good script. We especially maintain the company's signboard, and if you don't have full confidence, you won't mention it at all.

After being embarrassed for a while, Lu Xiaojia said: "I still have more than ten copyrights in my hands, and I can also adapt them, but the content is repeated, and the reputation will not be too good." When this gust of wind passes, let's study it again. ”

When Fan Xiaoye heard this, he knew that it was the truth, so he said: "Okay, let's go here today first, and the meeting will be dismissed!" ”

As he spoke, everyone staggered out.

Ding Linglin blinked, chased after him, and whispered: "Hey Sister Bingbing, I didn't think about it just now, in fact, I have one in my hand, which is quite suitable for adaptation." ”

"Huh? When did you buy the IP? She was amazed.

"Hehe, I saw that Sister Xiaojia bought so much, and I couldn't hold back for a while! I mentioned to Sister Ying that she might be too busy to pay attention. ”

"Oh, what's that your name?"

"The Legend of Zhen Huan"!" (To be continued.) )8
