Chapter 551: Asking for Help

The second series went on sale, and Choi Jung-won's promotional activities were officially launched.

Now he is no longer the newcomer he was when he first arrived, so this time there was almost no arrangement from the team, and all kinds of invitations came one after another.

Today's hottest king-level superstar is not invited to invite anyone during the publicity period?

As a result, the audience can see him at a performance almost every day.

This time, even people who are not interested in pop music remember a handsome oriental face.

People who are curious will naturally search for his information. As a result, the dazzling series of deeds added a lot of brain-dead fans to him.

But maybe it's a coincidence, maybe God can't see Cui Zhengyuan's singing career in full swing.

On his bus back to Los Angeles from his performance in Seattle, he picked up Al Gore. Vybinski's phone.

Looking at the number, Cui Zhengyuan was stunned for a long time.

The two haven't met since Pirates of the Caribbean.

I don't know why this current proud director called him?

But time waits for no one, and before he can figure it out, Cui Zhengyuan picked up the phone. "Hi Gore, what is the wind that blows your gospel here?"

"Lance, don't say that, I'm actually here to ask for help." Gore's voice on the other end of the phone was full of anxiety and melancholy, and it seemed that something must be wrong for him.

The two of them hadn't been in touch for a long time, and Cui Zhengyuan naturally couldn't know what tricky things he had encountered based on speculation, so he asked directly: "Say it, I'm listening." ”

"I need you back, the crew needs you back." Gore is not a muddy person either, and said bluntly.

"Go back?" Cui Zhengyuan was blindsided, and it took a long time to understand the meaning. "What's wrong? Orlando. Isn't Bloom acting? ”

"Uh......, I don't know what to say. It can only be said that the child was too unlucky. Last week the guy was in Australia for an equestrian event and accidentally fell off it. The doctor gave the diagnosis. You need to recuperate for half a year. So he couldn't catch up with the filming of the third part at all. Gore babbled on and on and on

Damn, no.

This is indeed the work of man, and he shall not live.

Originally belonged to Orlando. Bloom's role was robbed by Choi Jung-won, and finally when he stopped playing, the handsome British guy could get back his own role.

As a result, it can only be said that he was too unlucky.

But it's nothing, Cui Zhengyuan is called entangled. With a black face, he yelled at the microphone, "Damn it, Gore, don't you know that I'm in the middle of the propaganda right now? And in August. I'm also going to have a shijie tour. There are only four months in the middle, how to act? ”

Gore seemed to have figured out his itinerary a long time ago, and rushed without disappointment at all: "Enough is enough, Lance, you only need to appear in the third part." As for the fourth part, the director is not me, and I am not responsible for helping Disney find actors. As for your promotional campaign, I can give you another half a month. Anyway, you've been promoting it for almost a month, so it should be enough. ”

Cui Zhengyuan, who was listening, was still hesitating. Gore weighed the weight. "The executive producer of the Disney Company is also strongly urging you to come back, and to be honest, Orlando's acting skills are still a little imperfect."

Although the second part has not yet been released, it is about the acting skills of the actors. The director must have a detailed evaluation in his mind. This is especially true in the case of an excellent contrast before.

Being able to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean" again, Cui Zhengyuan is indeed very excited.

If he hadn't returned to the company to coordinate the overall situation last year, he really didn't want to resign from the second part.

Now the opportunity is back in front of us. He had a vague feeling that he should follow.

Especially in the third "Pirates of the Caribbean: Shijie's End", in this play, Will . Turner's role is heavier than ever.

Really, in fact, the protagonist of this part is not Captain Jack. It's Will. Turner.

has debuted for so long, and he has never played the leading role.

It's a shame to miss such a great opportunity.

Just as he weighed the pros and cons and the time, Gore came up with a killer idea. "Disney has already said that if you return, the salary will be raised to $30 million."

Cui Zhengyuan gasped, his intuition was incredible. "Isn't it a little too much? You know, I've only been in a movie, huh? ”

That's right, really counting, he is an out-and-out rookie actor. In the days of Hollywood, only one movie was made.

At the time of "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl", his salary was only eight million dollars. As a result, the second time he appeared, it increased by nearly four times.

If you want to talk about the person with the fastest salary increase, it is estimated that he is the only one.

Gore smiled and explained why. "Since the second part of the promotion starred in Orlando as Will. Turner, it was boycotted by a lot of fans. They say it's just you playing Will. Turner is the most classic, and it is a blasphemy to the film for others to star. Because the outside world is very high, the producers are very pessimistic about the future. So this time to shoot the third part, their opinion is to invite you back at all costs. ”

Hearing this, Cui Zhengyuan's heart was deeply moved.

Not to mention, these fans are so cute.

It's just a character in the movie that can make them react so violently that it affects the producer's decision-making.

"But it's still too high, I'm afraid it will attract criticism if it spreads." Cui Zhengyuan was still a little afraid to accept it, he had never thought of a salary of 30 million US dollars before.

Gore didn't care, but he smiled and explained the truth to him. "Do you think the producers are fools? They don't know how to save money? There is no way, the profits of the film market have become higher and higher in the past two years, especially the box office of blockbusters. So the value of the actors has also increased rapidly, such as Johnny, whose salary in the third part has reached 41 million. If my estimate is good, if he stars in the fourth part, the salary is likely to be 50 million. ”

Cui Zhengyuan still knows this, when he took over the fourth part of "Pirates of the Caribbean", Johnny. Depp's salary is exactly $55 million. And the fifth part after that, it reached a staggering more than 90 million dollars.

Smacking his lips, Cui Zhengyuan was a little moved. "So, should I accept that?"

"Of course you should accept it, you weigh more than Johnny in this part, shouldn't you take more? This is because you are a newcomer, otherwise the salary will only be higher. Gore is also full of expectations for Choi Jung-won's return, so he strongly encourages it.

More than 30 million, if you don't accept it, you will really be damned.

Cui Zhengyuan gritted his teeth and made a lot of determination: "Okay, I accept it." But give me half a month to finish the follow-up publicity. In addition, I can only shoot until August, and before that I have to shoot all the scenes. If you agree, you can have someone from Disney come to the branch to negotiate the contract. ”

Waiting for his words for a long time, Gore Hahadaxiao said: "It's no problem at all, I can call the shots on this." Even if you can't finish shooting in four months, some follow-up shots will be enough to come and make up for them when you have free time. ”

This is an actor's obligation, and Choi Jung-won has become commonplace and doesn't feel any trouble. "I'm okay, Gore and we're happy to work together."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Putting down the phone, Cui Zhengyuan felt happy in his heart, banging on the sofa with one hand, while recalling the scene of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Shijie's End".

The most important reason that made him finally make up his mind to take over despite the preparations for the Shijie tour was the only film that featured Will. Turner's lead character.

Although Captain Jack is an indispensable soul character, the real protagonist in this episode is actually Will Jack. Turner, captain of the new "Flying Dutchman".

The first Asian to play the leading role in a Hollywood blockbuster, this title is what Choi Jung-won likes.

As for how much of a sensation the 30 million salary will cause once it gets out, he is also looking forward to it.

From now on, you may call him "Mr. 30 million", right?

When he answered the phone, Zheng Xinghuai and Chris, who were sitting on the side, heard it clearly, and also knew that Cui Zhengyuan agreed to star in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

However, the two brokers reacted diametrically opposed to this question.

Chris was a little distracted and made his objections clear.

According to his words, that is to say: Cui Zhengyuan's main identity is actually a singer. It is supposed to focus on the songs, as long as the in-depth promotion is carried out for a period of time, the sales performance of the second album will definitely increase a lot.

Like Cui Zhengyuan's practice of fishing for three days and drying nets for two days at this time, it is completely unprofessional.

I want to catch everything, and I probably can't get it to zuihou.

And Zheng Xinghuai is fully supportive, and he doesn't seem to care much about the results of the second series.

There is no way, the status of movie actors in the entertainment industry is much higher than that of singers. Not only Korea, but all shijie are the same.

The gap between the two is not only reflected in popularity, but also in terms of income.

Cui Zhengyuan can go to a higher status and become an international movie star from an international pop music king, which is a good thing that Zheng Xinghuai never dared to hope for before.

Of course, their opinions don't change much. Choi Jung-won, the boss and artist, can decide his own jihua by himself.

What they have to do is to take care of the details for him wholeheartedly, so that he can work without distractions.

For example, now, because Choi Jung-won agreed to appear in the movie. Then he has to make a big adjustment to his previous publicity, and he has to communicate with Sony, so as not to make people mad.

After all, the sales of the album determine Sony's revenue situation.

Cui Zhengyuan starred in the movie, so it has nothing to do with other people's companies.

It stands to reason that Sony won't care what the point of him starring in this movie is. (To be continued......)
