Chapter 10 Going to the United States (Part 1)
In the mainland, Sidan Shuangbing is the top brand of female artists in the mainland, and stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan have declined, and they have become popular in the Chinese entertainment industry for more than ten years.
In fact, Sidan Shuangbing is a whole in the end, and over the years, there are many small flowers who want to impact the position of Sidan Shuangbing but have not succeeded.
It's a pity that it's not the era of the past!
There were a few closest to their positions, but they soon went down.
The most successful one belongs to Zhang Zhangjingchu, who wants to have good looks, acting skills, and awards.
But I made it too much...
Targeted by the wife group, of course, is there a shadow of a certain big flower behind this, it's hard to say...
However, Zhang Jingchu lost the best opportunity, it's true!
The others are much worse in terms of movies, Lao Liu was one step away from it back then, and then left Hong Kong...
Yang Tianbao, I really don't have any talent, although her eyes are big, but they are too godless, Huayi really smashed resources on her in the past few years - "Love in the City", "Global Love", "Ruffian Heroes: All-out War", "Tai Chi" series, "Di Renjie", "Murder Like Water", "Ghost Blowing the Lamp: Looking for the Dragon"...
Really, except for the pants, she hasn't been photographed, and all the resources that can be used have been used!
Or is it like that...
There is no progress in acting!
About her acting: For the unspeakable, be silent – Ludwig Wittgenstein
……
"Hey, Mr. Sun, you're too tricky..."
"Of course I refused!"
“… Wow, you were too embarrassed to refuse, so you found me? ”
"Okay, I know, by the way, Lionsgate is going to shoot the American version of "Knocking on Heaven's Door", do you want to get involved?"
"I'll fly to the United States tomorrow, or you will arrange someone to come with me, I... I'll vote for a quarter, okay, goodbye! ”
Hanging up the phone, Xiaobai spat out the smoke ring and looked at the scenery outside the window.
The breeze blew, Xiaobai suddenly smiled, and then called Yang Lan: "I just rejected Huang Xiaoming!" ”
"Huh... He's looking for you again? ”
The young lady was not surprised, he knew what kind of actor her husband liked - low-key and powerful!
"Well, this time it's for his wife!"
“… Yes, alas..."
sighed.
From a man's point of view, the sect leader is indeed quite a man, after all, everyone knows Yang Tianbao's background, how they met, and many people also talk about it, obviously it was just an encounter between a prostitute and a geisha, and it became a legendary story!
"The Oil Seller Monopolizes the Oiran"!
Or how to say that the people of Shan*Dongren are real!
"By the way, how was the filming of "Mission Moscow"?"
“… Tired! Director Lin is so crazy, we have to play all the scenes by ourselves, and my arms are broken! ”
"Be careful, protect yourself, you're 28 too!"
"Well, got it..."
……
The photo of Xiaobai and Huang Xiaoming meeting undoubtedly appeared on Weibo's hot search, and then a group of his fans were anxious.
"Big brother, 1.8 billion is not over yet! What do you want? ”
"Don't get involved with Huang Xiaoming, I beg you!"
"Big guy, you're in the water?"
Uh, they are all scolding him for being sick, after all, at this time, Xiao Ming's reputation is really bad!
Involved in the 1.8 billion stock manipulation case, this thing is not a simple matter of whitewashing acting skills, it involves the vital interests of shareholders!
finally relied on "Langya List 2" and "Wuwen Xidong" to have a little sign of turning over, and was instantly hit into the freezing point again...
Therefore, born in adversity and dying in peace, a few years ago, celebrities used their fame to leverage completely higher than the market level to buy shares, and after raising the stock price, the good days of gradually reducing holdings and cashing out are gone after all!
Last year, yin and yang contracts, tax evasion and stock market manipulation broke out one after another, and the image of celebrities became worse and worse!
Capital is withdrawing from the market, and the distrust of the whole society has led to widespread financing difficulties for film and television companies...
It's all made by these people who say, 'I may not be a good actor, but I'm a good businessman'!
Since you know that you are not a very good actor, then stop acting and go into business!
"I'm going to support the construction of spiritual civilization in the United States, and I'll see you in September."
With a selfie of the airport, Xiaobai closed the phone.
……
The filming location of "Man on the Moon" was chosen in Vancouver, not because Xiaobai has a good impression of Vancouver, but because the tax refund in this place is as high as 55%!
Nima, fifty-five percent!
In other words, an investment of $40 million can be completed in less than 20 million!
Not only the United States has a tax refund system, but also all over the world, in many places, the tax refund is very large, South Korea has a 30% tax refund policy, Hungary has 25%, the Czech Republic has 20%...
So, "There is a place that only we know", despite telling the story of Paris, was indeed filmed in the Czech Republic...
Of course, France has also started tax rebates after 16 years - not tax refunds, foreign film crews do not need to pay taxes when they come to France to shoot, and they will directly refund 20% of the filming fees!
In the ten ASEAN countries, tax rebates start at 20%!
Canada's film production incentives range from a few months to six months, and in addition to co-production, there are overseas filming or simply hiring Canadian workers.
If federal and state incentives are combined, filmmakers can receive up to 60% of the subsidy, and there is no cap, and British Columbia, where Vancouver is located, has more than $2 billion in tax incentives in recent years.
made Xiaobai want to move the filming location of "Shaolin Football" to Vancouver...
However, some post-production of "Li Shimin" and "Kung Fu" can be carried out in Vancouver, and according to the words of tax refund experts, you can apply for about 10% of the tax rebate amount...
Canada is crazy!
Of course, all of the above is one condition: film and television production companies are required to hire a certain number of local residents in order to receive payroll tax benefits!
"The Man on the Moon" itself employs a large number of Canadian-born staff and actors, so it can enjoy the tax refund policy.
"Actually, New York is not bad, 30% full tax refund!"
Jim Carrey joked with Xiaobai.
He would probably have preferred to finish "Man on the Moon" in New York State, after all, New York has Broadway...
"Man on the Moon" has a lot of cabaret performances, Andy Kaufman is an actor on "Saturday Night Live", the scene needs a lot of tricks, and fortunately, there is no shortage of tricks in Canada...
"It's all the same, anyway, this movie is all up to you."
Xiaobai replied very casually.
While directing the crew to set up the scene, tonight will start filming the first scene of "The Man on the Moon", that is, the clip of Andy Kaufman imitating Elvis Presley.
In fact, the original version of "Man on the Moon" is a traditional Hollywood production model, with film companies wanting to make this movie, and Jim Carrey came to compete for the lead role, and finally decided to play it by him - so it will not have such a strong personal color of Jim Carrey.
The film didn't do well at the box office, and it could even be said that it deviated a bit from the mainstream market.
Biopics, of course, have to have a sense of the times, but the problem is that many of Andy Kaufman's performances look embarrassing to today's audiences, even to the point of being boring...
Andy Kaufman grew up with a love of acting, and when he grew up, he performed some weird jokes in bars, which didn't get much of a good response, so the bar owner had to ask him to leave, telling him "you have to add some funny humor", but Andy was a very simple person, and he didn't even know what humor was.
Later, Andy received the "inspiration" of "becoming a burlesque" from a mentor - silence, so he developed a very unique and personal acting style.
This style of performance is quirky and even confusing to some, but it also gets more and more laughter and support. It is this "comedy style" that has allowed Andy Kaufman not only to have countless audiences, fame, money, and even a place in the history of American comedy.
"Almost, let's get started, Kim, you..."
Xiaobai turned his head and wanted to beckon Jim Carrey to come forward, he was already standing on the left side of the stage...
“A!”
