Chapter 164: Thriller

Among the film contract offers Xiao Yong received, his salary was as high as 20 million US dollars!

In fact, the current Xiao Yong is definitely not worth the price.

But Jason Roy didn't dare to give low.

He was really afraid that Xiao Yong would be angry.

So he didn't ask for anything else, only stipulating Xiao Yong's salary.

Even if Xiao Yong takes up a quarter of the investment at once, the remaining $60 million is more than enough for a horror movie!

Xiao Yong looked at the script sent by Wen Ziren.

Xiao Yong plays a manor owner.

More than a dozen tourists came to play.

The main plot takes place in the manor castle, which is also the usual method of thrillers, and the overall tone is more gloomy and depressing.

In terms of plot, there is also a reversal, Xiao Yong's role, as the main villain.

At first, it was the owner of the castle who behaved seriously and weirdly.

Then it was discovered by the visitors that something strange had happened in the castle at night here.

The castle lord played by Xiao Yong tortured and killed his wife.

But the next day, it was business as usual.

But these people stayed in order to find out the truth.

On the second night, some acquaintances began to be killed by the farmer played by Xiao Yong.

When they tried to escape, they found that it was like entering a dream cycle.

No one can escape, no one can escape.

can only face Xiao Yong's pursuit in the castle master

The hero and heroine appease everyone, work together, and collectively struggle for survival...

This is what Wen Ziren is best at, supernatural horror films.

Xiao Yong, as the main villain, naturally has a lot of scenes.

However, after Xiao Yong finished reading the script, he knew very well that this movie could not be released in China.

Of course, he didn't care.

It's better if it's not released, anyway, Xiao Yong doesn't care about whether this movie makes money or not.

The main thing is that Xiao Yong still wants to complete the task.

He needed a script that would plunge foreign audiences into deep fear.

On the other hand, Tang Xiuyi had a very good time during this time.

With the cooperation with Xiao Yong and the Best Newcomer at the Academy Awards, her resources gradually increased.

There are also more and more film appointments.

And it is also slowly changing from a supporting role to a leading role.

While becoming more and more popular, he has become a new flower in the entertainment industry.

On the contrary, another Qin Yue, after being sent to the hot search because of another crew playing a big name, all kinds of previous behaviors began to be picked up.

For a while, it was notorious in the circle, and no one wanted to use it.

The two went in two completely different directions.

Beautiful country, Xiao Yong's plane landed.

Hoya is already ready at the airport.

He was so happy!

To put it bluntly, Xiao Yong was able to star in the movie, which he didn't expect at all.

From the beginning, he didn't think about developing Xiao Yong in the entertainment industry of the beautiful country at all, because he didn't have any resources in the film circle.

But I never expected that Xiao Yong would be able to win a film contract with a salary of 20 million!

What does this mean?

He can get $3.4 million just for his achievements!

"Xiao, I really didn't expect you to receive such a high-paying film invitation in a beautiful country!" Hoya said excitedly as he drove.

Xiao Yong looked out the car window and asked, "The opponent for the next game has not been determined yet?" ”

Speaking of this matter, Huo Ya said with some embarrassment: "Not yet, I'm already talking to Dana, but the previous players are cautious about fighting you." ”

Actually, it's easy to understand.

Every fighter wants to challenge a higher-ranked opponent, and no one wants to fight a tough opponent with a relatively low ranking.

Including some fighters themselves are in a state where they can't fight, so arranging the fight is sometimes very difficult!

Xiao Yong didn't say anything more.

Bai Dana's side is really trying to contact the opponent, but those people in front of Xiao Yong either have no desire to compete, or they are unwilling to fight with Xiao Yong.

In this case, he really couldn't find a suitable opponent to fight Xiao Yong for a while!

In desperation, Dana Bai dialed Xiao Yong's phone.

Xiao Yong didn't expect that he had just finished asking Huo Ya about Dana Bai when he called from there.

"Xiao, the opponents who are currently ranked before you are not free, do you want to play a little lower in the ranking first?"

Dana White asked.

Hearing this, Xiao Yong fell silent.

He himself is actually unwilling to play, just like others are unwilling to take his game.

"If I accept it, then who am I going to hit?" Xiao Yong asked.

"Kevin Lee!" Dana White said: "That guy has lost two straight games since losing to Tony Ferguson and is currently in the tenth position in the lightweight division, if you want, I can arrange for you to fight him." ”

Hearing this opponent, Xiao Yong thought for a while and said, "I'm going to participate in the filming of the movie recently, so let's talk about it later." ”

Hearing Xiao Yong's lack of interest, Bai Dana said helplessly: "Xiao, just like you want to climb up, you should know that sometimes, boxers also have to fight some downward matches to meet some challenges." ”

Hearing Dana Bai say this, Xiao Yong smiled and said: "Dana, I know this, but I really want to film, the thriller directed by Wen Ziren, it may be a little too late in terms of time, I will contact you based on the filming progress." ”

As soon as he heard Wen Ziren's name, Bai Dana was stunned.

"Director Wen's thriller? Shaw, you've really surprised me, but I have to remind you that fighters still have to be as focused as possible. "Dana White, this is no joke.

For example, the queen of the year, Ronda Rossi, went to make movies after she became famous, which inevitably led to a lack of fighting spirit and a decline in state.

In the end, he had to leave the UFC.

Dana Bai is not against boxers going to engage in side hustles, to put it bluntly, everyone is an adult, who doesn't want to make more money?

He understands that.

But the current Xiao Yong, in the eyes of Dana Bai, is not the time to develop these times, after all, he has not even won the championship.

If this affects the state, it will definitely be lost because of a small loss.

"Dana, don't worry, I'll keep training, and after shooting here, if no one else is willing to play, it's no problem to fight Kevin Lee." Xiao Yong said.

As long as the dream space can be permanently activated, then for Xiao Yong, it will be too worthwhile.

In the future, the training time and effect will be better than training every day.

After listening to Xiao Yong's words, Bai Dana was also very helpless.

He heard the meaning of Xiao Yong's words, but he couldn't control this kind of thing.

It can only be said that it is a reminder.

What the fighter wants to do depends on the fighter himself.

Dana Bai also knows very well that engaging in a side hustle also has the benefits of engaging in a side hustle.

For example, traffic!

The more famous a player is, the higher the traffic, and if he can play a beautiful game, the more money he can make.

If Xiao Yong really acts in a movie and performs in a famous place, it will also be helpful for PPV box office sales.

Dana White can only comfort himself like this.

Hanging up the phone, Xiao Yong soon came to the hotel arranged by Huo Ya to check in.

After a night's rest, Xiao Yong went to the set.

Before going, Xiao Yong deliberately wore a fear ring!

Because Xiao Yong put the video of the appearance of the drought on the Internet, he gained a lot of fear points.

Now Xiao Yong's accumulated fear points after obtaining the Fear Ring have exceeded 10 million, and the fear bonus has also reached 20%!

So after Xiao Yong put on the ring, the whole person looked even more fierce.

At a glance, people are awe-inspiring.

The set is a real manor castle.

Most of the scenes in the whole movie are in it.

When Wen Ziren saw Xiao Yong, he couldn't help but gasp.

This guy, the real person looks much more terrifying than the photos and film and television dramas.

But then he was in ecstasy!

Isn't this kind of person a big treasure when he shoots a horror movie?

"Shaw! Come on, I'll introduce you to it! ”

With Wen Ziren's introduction, Xiao Yong found that the female characters in this play are still a little famous.

The first is Anya Taylor-Joy, the actor of Xiao Yong's wife in the play, who is a new generation of actresses born in a beautiful country, and can be called a professional in horror films.

He has the nationality of three countries, and he is of mixed blood in four countries.

Facing Xiao Yong, even this woman, who is used to acting in horror movies, can't help but stand on end with her hairs all over her body.

If it weren't for the fact that there were enough people coming together, maybe they would have subconsciously turned around and ran.

Subsequently, among the actors who came to the estate, the biggest name was actress Catherine Langford from Australia.

Like Anya, the first feeling when she saw Xiao Yong was that she also wanted to run!

In other words, regardless of men and women, everyone present had this feeling in their hearts when they saw Xiao Yong wearing a fear ring.

Momentum is such a thing, sometimes, it just can't be touched, but it exists.

Xiao Yong's own fierce face, coupled with the blessing of the fierce eye, is quite scary, wearing the fear ring, after further blessings, basically everyone who sees him can hardly suppress the fear in their hearts.

It wasn't until Xiao Yong went to put on makeup that all the actors were relieved!

"I finally know why I chose a Chinese person to play this role." Anya, who has made more than ten horror movies, couldn't help but say: "Among the actors I have worked with, there is no actor like him, who makes me feel the urge to run away at a glance."

Catherine on the side also nodded very approvingly.

At the beginning of the shooting, Wen Ziren took several shots in a row, but he couldn't help it, and took the initiative to find Xiao Yong: "Xiao, can you be a little gentler, after all, we still need to collect it at the beginning"

Xiao Yong scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry director, it's the first time I've acted in a horror movie, and I don't have much experience." ”

So Xiao Yong secretly took off the ring!

Wen Ziren couldn't help but praise in his heart: "What a good actor, as soon as you say it, it will change a lot!" ”

During the filming of the movie, Xiao Yong's salary was also exposed, which caused an uproar in the beautiful country!

You must know that the salary of 20 million US dollars is already the price of a beautiful national first-line actor.

But Xiao Yong, a man who has never proven himself in Hollywood, got a salary of 20 million US dollars.

"Wen Ziren is crazy, Huaxia Xiao Yong, worth two thousand dollars? 》

"Why give a Chinese person 20 million dollars for a movie that can't be released in China?" 》

"Universal Pictures, the stupidest contract ever!" 》

"80 million thriller movie, stupid investment!" 》

You know, Dwayne Johnson is paid $22.5 million for starring in "Black Adam".

After the word-of-mouth of "Joker" exploded, Joaquin Phoenix's salary for filming "Joker 2" also skyrocketed from 4.5 million to 20 million in the first part.

Vin Diesel's "Fast and Furious 10", Tom Hardy's "Venom 3", Ryan Reynolds's "Passionate", etc., are all paid $20 million, and they are not participating in box office dividends.

Xiao Yong, a person who has never proven himself in Hollywood, can get a salary of 20 million US dollars!

This is completely out of the market!

And generally speaking, the cost of thrillers is relatively low, and Xiao Yong's salary is even the total production cost of a normal thriller.

Let's talk about the same group of actors, the two most famous actresses, Anya only has three million dollars, and Catherine only has one and a half million dollars!

Only Xiao Yong has a salary that completely exceeds the coffee position!

This has also aroused the curiosity of some people in beautiful countries.

"Why can this Xiao Yong get such a high salary?"

"I don't know, is it because he looks fierce?"

"Come on, that's twenty million dollars! It's not worth the money! ”

"Who knows? Investors can be fools! ”

The incident soon spread back to China as well.

also stunned all netizens.

However, for domestic netizens, it is more for Xiao Yong to be happy!

"Xiao Yong is too strong, with a salary of 20 million US dollars, he can be regarded as a first-line star in Hollywood."

"It's still Wen Ziren's thriller, the resources are too good, right?"

"But why? Xiao Yong didn't have any foreign works. ”

"Whatever, anyway, I think Xiao Yong can make foreigner money, that's awesome!"

"It's a pity that this movie can't be released in China."

"That's a real pity."

On the set, Xiao Yong looked at Anya with tears in front of him, a little speechless.

Just now, the first rivalry between the two was also the first scene in which Xiao Yong showed his fierce side and tortured Anya.

Xiao Yong deliberately put on the fear ring.

Then, Anya, known as the queen of horror movies, was scared and cried alive by Xiao Yong.

Anya sat in her chair, shivering.

In the past, no matter what the opponent's makeup was or how terrifying the atmosphere was, she was never afraid.

But just now, when Xiao Yong's face was gloomy, with a cruel smile on his face, and he approached her step by step, her brain was blank, and she couldn't control her tears at all, so she cried directly.

Completely out of control.

In fact, the other actors who watched Xiao Yong's performance on the side also had to admit that Xiao Yong's terrifying sense of oppression was definitely something they had never seen before.

And Wen Ziren, who was behind the camera, was full of joy!

Because he felt that he would definitely be able to shoot an unbeatable thriller!

Xiao Yong's terrifying temperament in that gloomy environment, through his lens language, is simply too frightening!

That's right, even he felt fear!

But the more frightened he became, the more excited he felt.

But for now, what he needs to do is to appease Anya's emotions.

"Anya, the performance just now is good, you have to calm down, we are just shooting, no one will really hurt you, don't be afraid."

Wen Ziren kept persuading.

Anya raised her head, her eyes full of grievances, and finally said: "Director, I feel that I need to see a psychiatrist, I may have to stop filming for the time being, I need to adjust." ”

In fact, the bonus of the Ring of Dread is definitely not one plus one equals two.

You must know that Xiao Yong's ferocity, in addition to his fierce face, is also a system bonus.

Because of the system bonus, Xiao Yong can be so fierce that ordinary people can't reach the realm at all.

This kind of ferocity can be said to be momentum, and it can also be said to be the system's amplification of Xiao Yong's fierceness in the eyes of ordinary people.

Essentially, it's about making people feel fear from the bottom of their hearts.

The original effect is already very strong, and with the bonus of the fear ring, this effect is particularly significant, and at the same time, this time Xiao Yong is acting in a horror movie.

The contrast of the surrounding atmosphere and the explosion of Xiao Yong's acting skills made Anya completely forget that she was filming, just like when Tang Xiuyi saw Xiao Yong for the first time, she was completely frightened and couldn't adapt!

Seeing her say this, Wen Ziren had no choice.

The beautiful country still attaches great importance to psychological issues.

Xiao Yong was also a little speechless, and he even wondered if he was acting too much?

After Anya left the group, Xiao Yong couldn't help but ask: "Director, do I need to be more restrained?" ”

"No, you don't! That's it, remember, keep it up! I love the look in your eyes, that ferocious excitement, it's amazing! Wen Ziren said.

So in a week, there was a large number of departures from the crew.

There is no way, the gloomy and depressing atmosphere, the bloody and brutal makeup, will amplify Xiao Yong's fierce temperament.

Actors are starting to see psychiatrists.

In the end, Wen Ziren specially invited a resident psychiatrist.

Psychological counseling for the actors every day.

Fortunately, the scene of this play is relatively simple.

Filming only lasted just over two months and began to gradually come to an end.

Whether it was Anya or Catherine, Xiao Yong left a deep impression on them.

After filming the movie, Wen Ziren held a dinner party.

"Shaw, believe me, our movie will definitely be a big hit, and you will definitely become a horror movie star that many people like! Next time I'm looking for you to film, be sure to give me time! Wen Ziren patted Xiao Yong's shoulder and smiled.

Xiao Yong nodded, looking at the actors gathered in the distance in twos and threes, and smiled helplessly in his heart.

This is the most estranged play between him and the same group of actors.

Since Xiao Yong turned on the fierce face mode, everyone unconsciously distanced themselves from him.

is originally a foreigner, plus Xiao Yong's fierce spirit.

No one dared to get too close to him.

But one thing to say, these actors filmed by the crew are basically all up to the standard of extreme fear.

So now Xiao Yong is very confident in this movie!

The only question is whether this movie can attract a million people to the theater.
