Chapter 214: Box Office Weapon
In October, there is already some coolness.
At the door of the hotel, Xiaobai lit a cigarette and chatted with Lei Jiayin.
"You asked your agent not to bind the hype with Dong Jie, you have a wife and children, and she also has children, which is easy to misunderstand!"
“… You know, I've told you! ”
Lei Jiayin nodded.
"Next month, will you go to the Golden Horse Awards?"
"Go, are you going?"
"It depends on the situation, I can't win the award anyway, so I'll go and cheer for Xu Zheng when I have time!"
“… Can't win the prize? Why? ”
Lei Jiayin was a little confused, according to the industry's evaluation, "God of Medicine" is definitely the existence of sweeping the awards season!
"The God of Medicine" is too commercial, and the box office is too high, forget it, don't talk about it, the car is coming, you get in the car first!"
……
According to the general logical reasoning, "The God of Medicine" is so hanging, why can't it win the award?
"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is a very typical genre film narrative!
For genre films, it is difficult to win the best picture, but there is nothing wrong with mixing nominations, and the same is true for the director award.
The same was true of "Dear" back then, the narrative was too typical, and there was no authorship at all.
There is nothing wrong with the performance award, especially the completeness of Cheng Yong's role gives the performance a lot of space and is very full.
There is no problem for Wang Chuanjun to be shortlisted for the supporting actor award!
Tang Xiaoyu's Best Actress and Yang Lan's Best Supporting Actress nomination need to be put into operation.
It's a bit difficult, according to convention, every year, the Taiwan organizers will intercept two or three of the five places nominated by the Golden Horse actress to their own people, and the rest will focus more on Hong Kong stars, that is to say, the number of places left for mainland actresses is only two or three at most.
However, as long as you find the breakthrough and do a good job in public relations, it is not a big problem to get a nomination.
If it works well, the young lady will become a representative of the post-90s acting school - after all, the content of the three golds, the golden horse is the first!
However, "The Judge of the Dead" or "Jigong" after that may be a Taiwanese actress or two...
Equivalent exchange!
So why do many mainland films today want to allow investment from Hong Kong and Taiwan capital to stuff one or a few Taiwanese actors who have seriously violated the audience?
The pure mainland team will not be favored by the Golden Horse Awards, "Thai Embarrassment" is so hanging, is there a nomination?
Bo Ge is favored by the Golden Horse for Mao?
Because of the team or capital he cooperates with, many of them are Taiwan people!
Therefore, the most powerful thing about "Thai Embarrassment" is not the box office, but the first pure mainland team to directly hit the box office of more than one billion...
To be honest, Xu Zheng is really tough, he just doesn't play with Taiwanese capital, whether it is a producer or a director, the role of Wang Likun in "Players Behind the Scenes" can be found in those nominated by the Golden Horse actress, but people just don't look for it!
(If Xu Zheng wants to win this year's Golden Horse Awards, then his future works will have to add a few actors-)
……
After waiting for a few minutes, a black Daben came, and Xiao Baileng froze.
"Why are you here?"
It's Zhong Lifang.
While driving away from the door of the hotel with the steering wheel, he said: "... I just had time, so I came over, and I had to call someone else! ”
"Tell me, is anyone looking for you again?"
Now Bai Xiaofei is already a box office weapon, and cooperating with him, or hitching a ride with him, is definitely the best shortcut to fame!
However, Bai Xiaofei is notoriously weird and doesn't like to have contact with the outside world, as can be seen from the actors he works with, he is more partial to his own people, or students of Chinese opera.
One more thing, he's hard to control!
When Yongsheng was in power, the boss wanted to stuff the actors, but he could refuse!
It can be seen that this is a person with a very firm mind, so who can make him change his mind?
Chen Baolian, and now Zhong Lifang!
However, Chen Baolian never makes a deal with that role, and if this topic is mentioned, she will prevaricate back...
Zhong Lifang is different, for the development of the company, she will definitely not be soft-hearted if she can take out a transaction!
"I can't hide it from you, Wanda, I hope you can help promote "Worry Relief Grocery Store"... Also, they want to arrange a hype! ”
"Walter? I'm a guest actor, helping to promote a ghost? There is no obligation to do so,"
Xiaobai directly refused, and asked casually: "What hype?" ”
“… Di Li Hot Bar has been very popular recently, and they want to arrange an affair with her! ”
"Sick, right? I haven't spoken to her, how can I hype it? ”
"Let's just say that she admires you very much, and you appreciate him very much, and then we will go on a variety show together..."
The more Zhong Lifang spoke, the more weak her heart became, and she simply shut up.
"How is the casting of "Tang Bohu" going? Has the publicity plan for "Jiupin Sesame Official" been done? Where has the filming of "Often Invited to Dinner" been? ”
“…”
Zhong Lifang continued to be silent.
"You are the COO of our company, the big housekeeper, worry about other things, don't always hang around me!"
I couldn't help it, and scolded her!
“… Okay, I got it! ”
Zhong Lifang was a little aggrieved, but still didn't speak.
This was mentioned by Wanda on her own initiative.
Wanda, it's not too much of a request, and it's estimated that many unmarried actors dream of it!
She just wanted to test the boss's bottom line...
Now I know, in addition to his own movies, Bai Xiaofei really doesn't pretend to other people, especially irrelevant people...
……
Zhong Lifang's car just left, and Xu Zheng and Dong Ping flashed out of the door of the hotel.
"How's it going?"
"I don't understand!"
"Can't understand?"
Xu Zheng looked at Dong Ping a little strangely.
"Talented, driven, and knowledgeable about the rules, how could such a person refuse Ahri?"
"It's not easy, he hates being controlled!"
took the cigarette handed by Dong Ping, took a puff, spit out the smoke ring, and continued: "He is very confident in himself, and now because of his qualifications, he is still restrained, and when there are a few more blockbuster films, this confidence will be transformed into conceit!" ”
There is a difference between self-confidence and conceit, but the meaning is not the same at all.
Xiaobai already has some shadows of Feng Xiaogang's early stage, for example, the works he made are all sold, and he doesn't like to be pointed at, but due to the situation, he will still use some actors he doesn't like - "There Are No Thieves in the World", Feng Xiaogang wants to use Andy Lau for Mao? It's not because of the co-production regulations!
Of course, the times are different, and Xiaobai's main team is still mainlanders.
If he is allowed to develop, he is likely to become a great director with extreme self-confidence, conceit, and arrogance!
Of course, this is actually a negative reputation that almost every successful person has.
It's just that the continued success, the continued high reputation and high box office, cover it all up. And as long as this success and these high reputations can continue, to a certain extent, those conceit and arrogance in life and work will continue to be covered, not only will not become shortcomings, but will become a typical example that people talk about and admire!
The most obvious example is Xingye!
"It's okay, his audience will cover it up!"
Dong Ping doesn't care, he just wants to find someone to work with...
