Chapter 293: Above the Actor
There was silence for a long time before the system replied, "You can get a 'Superstar Guide'." At the same time, after you reach the Asia-Pacific Superstar, you will turn on the ultimate goal of the system. At that time, the system will prepay for an opportunity to open the Hollywood market. ”
"Since the option covers two options, when you select this option, the system will be fully upgraded with the training system."
Lin Xiao nodded secretly, since the system training was free, he found that his acting skills had hardly risen, and he often only floated out a +4 a week.
"What is the Superstar Guide?" He then asked.
As mentioned above, the actor is not a superstar. There is a fundamental difference between them. The book will be imprinted in the host's memory. Tell the host in an all-round way, the conditions that superstars need, and the suggestions for how to become superstars in China. ”
What does it take to be a superstar? Lin Xiao frowned secretly, it is true that as the system says, there are many domestic actors, but almost none of them can compare with Andy Lau in Hong Kong.
"What about the conditions?"
"Ranked in the top 3 of Forbes' Asian Celebrity List."
Lin Xiao was stunned.
There are only 100 people on this list, covering artists and film and television song stakeholders from all countries in Asia, each of which is the real top of Mount Everest in their own region.
To compete for this position, he will face not only Andry Lau, the real emperor and queen like the princess who can be full at the concert in Rì, but also the "godfather" of Chinese movies like Zhang Yimou, and even the "Variety Queen" Ayumi Hamasaki, who has left his back in the memory of a generation.
He vaguely felt that above that batch of thrones, there was a deeper layer, a realm that he had never thought about or considered.
In the past, it was because I was completely unqualified, and I didn't have the time to subdivide the differences, and I could only roughly know who was famous.
Now, he sat down on the throne, but before he could secure his position, he found that a staircase leading to the sky was already looming in the clouds.
Climb aboard, what will it be?
His heart was beating a little faster.
On it, is Teresa Teng, known as an "eternal classic"? Or Shigeru Okada, who is recognized as the "Godfather of Cinema"? Or Cho Young-pil, the father of the Korean music scene?
He didn't know.
He only knows that this list has the strongest credibility and gold content in the world. In the United States, before he was reborn, the regulars were box office pillars such as Ladygaga, Beyoncé, and Tom Cruise, and music hegemons.
This is a battlefield without boundaries, and any entertainer, whether it is a director or an artist, can show their skills on it.
Top 100?
It's easy to say, but it's really a road to the sky.
There are no perennial box office miracles, no well-known hits, and no "Who's movie is on the air, let's go see it." "With such a spontaneous hot cháo, there is no hope of making the list at all.
Even superstars like Will Smith and Tom don't dare to say that they can get out of a single drama by picking the wrong one.
"Whew." He let out a sullen breath and said solemnly, "I'll pick the third one!" ”
"Drop!" The emotionless system has been sounded, "The content of the 'Superstar Guide' is more complicated, and it will be imprinted into the memory by twelve o'clock tonight." Tip: This is just a feasible step, and it doesn't always work to achieve results. ”
Lin Xiao nodded silently, superstar, you need strength, but also vision and luck.
Even if there is nine points of effort, the genius of the last point is enough to kill ninety-nine percent of people.
is like a sea of artists, the entertainment industry has developed to the present, and the last people who can enter the celebrity list are no more than 100 in one continent. You can imagine the cruelty of competition.
Only these people can get tens of millions of dollars in sky-high contracts for brands such as LV, Burberry, and Hugoboss. It is even called the "treasure" of the entertainment industry. ”
Feng Xiaogang twisted his eyebrows and looked at Lin Xiao in front of him, smiling for a while, and his expression was excited for a while.
"This kid won't have convulsions? It shouldn't be, I saw that he played Lan Yu so well, even Ge Wei applauded his hands, is this the case in private? ”
When the golden light in front of Lin Xiao's eyes went out, he suddenly realized what a stupid thing he had just done.
actually made such a big appearance in front of such a director who knows everything.
You can't live if you do your own iniquity.
He suppressed the enthusiasm and excitement in his heart, and said with a wry smile, "I'm sorry, Director Feng, I thought of something just now." ”
"Definitely not thinking about my proposal, I know."
Yes, you get the idea.
Lin Xiao pressed back and asked, "Director Feng, when do you plan to start filming?" How much do you plan to invest? What type? ”
"Hehe, if the funds are in place, filming will start in July, as a Chinese New Year film at the end of the year. The investment is not much, and it is planned to be more than 20 million. The genre is a story about a thief. ”
I see.
Lin Xiao suddenly realized, he remembered a very old thing.
This happened not long after the beginning of 02, when Feng Xiaogang was a new director, although his name was not big, but Feng's comedy already had a lot of popularity, and there was a faint momentum to catch up with his predecessors.
Just when everyone was still discussing the "sigh" of 01, I don't know which newspaper broke the news that Feng Xiaogang will co-produce the 02 New Year film "There are no thieves in the world" with Stephen Chow. ”
The news got fans of the magazine and Stephen Chow, as well as some comedy fanatics, excited, chanting "Another chūn day of comedy is here."
However, not long after the news came out, there was no news from Stephen Chow, and at the same time, Feng Xiaogang also said, "Because of the script adaptation problem, the excessive change caused me to lose my passion, so I stopped the adaptation of the script without thieves in the world." ”
Under yīn's mistakes, there was a "big name" who made him more famous in 02. ”
Lin Xiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and now it seems that there may be other inside stories about this matter.
"With an investment of more than 20 million, Director Feng won't be able to pull it?" Lin Xiao asked the doubts in his heart.
This time, it was Feng Xiaogang's turn to smile bitterly.
"Don't say it, you really can't pull it."
"This script is the adaptation right I got from Sichuan Emei Studio in 01, and the original work is Mr. Zhao Benfu. At that time, I thought the script was very good, and I swore to talk about several investments in detail. Unexpectedly, the problem is also here. ”
Feng Xiaogang sighed and said, "Because of the accession to the WTO, they felt a little sensitive about the things involved in this script, and nine out of ten shook their heads. ”
"Afterwards, I approached a company in Hong Kong, and they were very interested, but there was a big disagreement on the choice of director." Feng Xiaogang shook his head, "Of course I hope that I will lead the way, but they have put forward other candidates, and they say the same." It's hard for me to refuse. That's when I got the idea to continue to invest in China. ”
Hearing this, Lin Xiao also guessed about it.
The Hong Kong company is 100% Zhou Xingchi's Xinghui overseas, and the "other candidates" are undoubtedly Zhou Xingchi.
How can Zhou Xingchi's movie be directed by someone else? Shaolin football is popular, and there is no doubt that it has been shortlisted for Hong Kong Golden Bauhinia, and the other party's movie has created a "Zhou Xingchi impression", perhaps, the other party also proposed that he must star.
Although they are all comedies, they have different styles, so Feng Xiaogang can't make a "Zhou's comedy", and he doesn't want to make it like this.
rejected Xinghui's overseas investment, and there are no thieves in the world, but it can really be regarded as a dead end. No wonder he remembered that Feng Xiaogang held a press conference later and said, "I'm sorry, there is no film for everyone to show this year." ”
However, this is just his appetite, if Mr. Chu leaves, he takes over Huaxia, and he can invest 120 million at the box office and make 3 times the net profit of no thieves in the world, and he can only say that he has won 5 million overnight.
That's three times as much!
He suppressed the fluctuating mood and asked with a smile, "So how much investment does Director Feng need?" ”
"How about five million?"
Lin Xiao had a feeling of dropping a cup.
Five, your sister! Sold me enough!
Looking at Feng Xiaogang's smiling face, he really wanted to turn around and leave.
"Director Feng, how can I have so much money?"
"Don't worry, the wealth is not exposed, I understand." Feng Xiaogang said with a smile, "Look, when Yu Guanyin's dividends come down, you should have three million, and there will be filming in July, you will definitely take another film before, your current film contract will at least double, Lan Yu Guan Jinpeng's 300,000 pairs?" That's another 600,000. If there is no thief in the world and the remuneration is settled afterwards, it will be 600,000 again, and if you take out a loan again, you are worth 780,000 or 800,000? You see, isn't that close to five million? ”
Shameless!
This was the first thought that Lin Xiao came to mind.
There is even a statement that the end of the artist's salary is ended, and what is the strange thing of seven or eight hundred thousand yuan? He really wanted the other party to tell him where he had borrowed the seven or eight hundred thousand.
“…… Director Feng, you know better than I do. ”
"Hey, as a director, I naturally have to think about the crew, and every penny must be used on the blade."
“…… Director Feng, are you talking about your blade? Lin Xiao couldn't help but vomit, his next sentence was, then mine can be used to forge steel, right?
With such a dignified statement on the topic of refreshing the lower limit, and a chūn smile on his face, he finally understood why Feng Xiaogang's comedy could make so many people laugh.
"A crew is a knife." Feng Xiaogang said disapprehantly, "How is it?" Kobayashi, this is a good opportunity. Do you want to think about it? ”
Even MLM is doing so well? Lin Xiao looked at Feng Xiaogang in shock, feeling that his impression had been subverted.
After a few seconds, he said sincerely, "Director Feng, the opportunity is indeed very good, how much funding gap do you have?" ”
"Not much, only about 10 million."
If Lin Xiao was holding a grip device in his hand, he would definitely be able to see that his grip strength was off the charts now.
It's a pity, it's the glass.
“…… But I really can't come up with that much money right now. ”
"Now?" Feng Xiaogang sensitively captured the key words in his words.
is different from what Lin Xiao thought, he now has two million investments that are all meat. Even if there are five or ten companies together, he can accept it. said five million, it's really fun, he knows how much money is spent on artists, especially Lin Xiao has just won the actor, and the whole line has to keep up.
Even if Lin Xiao earns three million, it would be good to be able to invest two million.
That's why he can talk to Lin Xiao so easily, after all, two million is indeed meat, but it's only enough to smell a little meat.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiao's words refused, but now, it really made his little eyes shine.
If you can really invest five million, then it is not the meat aroma, but the chicken legs!
However, then he thought suspiciously, where did the other party get the five million?
