Chapter 148: Invest by yourself and be the hero by yourself
Ding Xiu watched it very seriously, this was the first time he had watched kung fu.
He only made a cameo appearance in this movie, not the starring role, the story outline, and the post-production was not involved, so he didn't know everything at all
Content.
After watching it, there were a lot of laughs, and Zhou Xingchi's acting skills were also very good.
Others don't know, but he knows that most of the roles are actually played by Zhou Xingchi.
Zhou Xingchi himself played it first, and the others followed him.
A person has to play so many roles in the crew at the same time, and the acting skills can be imagined.
One will be Luo Yazhen, one will be a ghost, one will be a little brother, one will be Brother Chen, one will be a tailor, and another person will come
, probably going crazy.
That is, Zhou Xingchi, who is a director, producer, screenwriter, and starring in one, can control it.
After watching the movie, Ding Xiu and Qin Lan came out of the movie theater, the two walked hand in hand, and while walking, Qin Lan suddenly said:
"You don't find it, the protagonist of this movie doesn't seem to have a name."
I was attracted by the plot before, and I patronized and laughed, but now I remember that the protagonist in it doesn't seem to have a name.
No one ever called him by his name from beginning to end.
In Brother Chen's mouth, he called that one, in the mouth of the fat brother, he called the boss, in the mouth of the charter wife, he called him dead on the street, the timeline was pulled forward, and he was called a fool when he was a child.
In short, there is no name and no surname.
"Not only is it the protagonist, but everyone else has no name, they are all nicknames." Ding Xiu recalled: "Chartered wife, chartered father
, A ghost, a tailor, a coolie, a Zhen, and so on. ”
Qin Lan said curiously: "Then didn't you ask Zhou Xingchi when you were in the crew?"
Ding Xiu narrowed his eyes: "I'm just a soy sauce maker, why do you ask this, but I guess what the director wants to express is."
All living beings. ”
There is no doubt that Zhou Xingchi succeeded.
is not as good as the incomprehensible Journey to the West eight years ago, this time the kung fu is completely the culmination of Zhou Xingchi's comedy over the years.
Whether from a professional point of view, the perspective of the audience at that time was impeccable.
Some people say that the core of comedy is tragedy, entertaining the public by stabbing others, but this kung fu is laughing at the same time, and it seems to be haunting something.
A powerless, nameless and nameless teenager has been kind since he was a child, inspirational to support justice, and "bankrupt" to buy martial arts
After the cheats, he stood in front of the little girl and stretched out his fist to the bad guys.
Then he was beaten and urinated.
Years later, he became a thug, collecting protection money for a living, no different from the people who bullied him back then.
Happened to meet the girl he protected when he was young, she stretched out a rainbow-colored lollipop, he was stunned for a moment, the past came to mind, and then slapped the lollipop on the ground and snatched the girl's money.
In the casino, the charter wife and the charter man fought against the fire cloud evil god, and at a critical time, the kindness in his heart made him pick up a wooden stick and wave it towards evil.
Just like back then, he was beaten again.
It's just that this time the fight opened up the second pulse of Ren Du and made him completely learn the palm of the gods.
From good to evil, and then from evil to good, this movie seems to tell the audience something.
Qin Lan thought for a moment and wondered: "Since it is the appearance of all beings, what is the role of the dumb girl."
Ding Xiu shrugged: "The disadvantaged groups, the people at the bottom, they are bullied, but they can't speak."
"What about the protagonist?"
"The protagonist represents justice, but this justice is a bit miserable, defeated by evil again and again, and almost the same in the end
Flowing and filthy, but in the casino, the protagonist was beaten into that ghost by the fire cloud evil god, I think it should be hanging, and the back is probably a fantasy. ”
Qin Lan shuddered.
Hearing Ding Xiu say this, why do you think this movie is a bit scary.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand readers, and Ding Xiu is just expressing his opinion.
After the release of Kung Fu, there were many more interpretations on the Internet, and the head was the Tao, saying everything.
While the popularity is high, the box office results are also explosive, and the release time of this movie on Hong Kong Island is half a month earlier than that of the mainland.
More than half of the film has been released here, and the box office results over there have come out.
62 million box office.
(This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 148: Invest by yourself and be the hero by yourself
You must know that the population of Hong Kong Island is only five or six million, and excluding junior high school students and seventy or eighty elderly people, the real audience is estimated to be two or three million.
According to the calculation of dozens of yuan for a movie ticket, the box office of 60 million means that more than 95% of the audience has bought tickets.
This result is the highest grossing in the history of the Hong Kong Island film industry.
Last year, there were only more than 50 million star-studded Infernal Affairs.
Compared with Hong Kong Island, the mainland has a large population and a large market, and although the attendance rate is not so high, it cannot stand the large number of people.
easily cut down nearly 200 million box office.
The movie is popular, and the participating actors are also on fire, different from the previous Zhou Xingchi absolutely big male protagonist style, this time there are more kung fu group scenes, and many characters are very outstanding.
For example, the charter wife, such as Huang Shengyi, who does not have many scenes, such as Brother Chen, the boss of the Axe Gang.
As one of the flawed things, Ding Xiu, the killer, has also attracted the attention of the audience.
However, many people see him on the subtitles after the movie ends.
"I said the killer was a little handsome, it turned out to be Ding Xiu."
"This smooth fight was also done by Ding Xiu."
"The fight between the charter wife, the charter man and the Huoyun Evil God is too illusory and unreal, including Xing Ye's."
"The Hong family's iron fist, the twelve-way Tan leg, the five lang and eight gui sticks are more exciting, and the iron fist and killer in the shop
The segment is also good. ”
"But if you want to talk about real kung fu, the first to go out must be Wulang Bagui stick, his kicking gun, picking up the gun at a glance is from the Peking Opera team, the practicality is not great, and the fierceness has to look at the iron line boxing and Ding Xiu's Baji boxing."
"I admit that Ding Xiu's martial arts moves are handsome to me."
This movie is called kung fu, and kung fu is naturally indispensable, with more than half of the scenes, and more than a dozen scenes before and after.
Every single one is exciting.
Ding Xiu's scene with Zhao Zhilin in the tailor shop was also compared by netizens.
Some martial arts enthusiasts found out Zhao Zhilin's identity, and the discussion of Grandmaster Hongquan became more intense.
For a while, Ding Xiu received more than a dozen media appointments for interviews, all of which asked him which was more powerful in Baji and Hongquan.
Of course, he won't answer directly about this kind of thing that clearly offends people, but just said: "It depends on the director and screenwriter."
Mood. ”
After autumn, the weather gradually became colder, and the middle-aged old Qin came to Ding Xiu's house as if he had spent the winter.
In the courtyard, Ding Xiu practiced knives in the courtyard with short sleeves.
didn't speak, Qin Gang just watched quietly, with an appreciative gaze.
Many people say that Ding Xiu was able to get to where he is today because he was completely lucky and had a good face.
But how did they know that Ding Xiu's martial arts had been practiced for so many years, and he practiced whenever he had time, never stopping, and he didn't know how much sweat he had.
Surrounded by beautiful women, and eating and drinking without worry, it is a long time since I changed to someone else.
For example, Baoqiang, the kung fu of Shaolin Temple has been put down for a long time.
"Whew!"
After a long time, Ding Xiu finished his work, and a mouthful of white gas came out of his mouth.
Putting the long Miao knife on the weapon rack, Ding Xiu picked up a towel to wipe his sweat: "Come to work?"
"Hmm." Qin Gang narrowed his smiling eyes, the corners of his eyes were full of folds, and he raised the briefcase in his hand: "The contracts are all brought."
”
Ding Xiu threw away the towel: "Come into the house and talk."
In his eyes, it's not a contract, it's money.
In the living room, the two sat down facing each other, and Qin Gang took out the script and contract: "Lao Mouzi's new movie, buried on all sides."
Fu, starring Liu Dehua, your second male. ”
"How much do you get paid?" Ding Xiu's mouth is money. "Seven hundred thousand."
"It's done."
Qin Gang was stunned: "Don't you talk about it?"
Ding Xiu took the script and looked: "I know the rules."
There are two kinds of people in the film and television drama industry, movie coffee and TV coffee.
Some people only take movies, and some people only take TV series, with different positioning and different prices.
Although it is not explicitly stated, it is a fact that the film and television industry has a chain of contempt, and those who act in movies are indeed a little more critical than those who act in TV series.
Although Ding Xiu has also made movies, but not much, the main field is still in the field of TV dramas, people like him, once he steps into (this chapter is not over!) )
Chapter 148: Invest by yourself and be the hero by yourself
The movie and the salary are cut in half.
It is simply impossible for the director to ask him for the market price of the TV series.
No matter how awesome the fish in the pond is, it will still bow its head in the sea.
Looking at the script, Ding Xiu said lightly: "Lao Qin, you can do it, Bao Qiang has just formed a male number two, you here."
Just give me the whole one, are you afraid that I will run?"
Bao Qiang left the company just to be able to film with Liu Tianwang.
said that he didn't care, Lao Qin secretly cried to death, and his hair turned white.
"I don't dare to take this credit, this time it is the name of the price ordered by Zhang Yi personally, and it has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Yi doesn't have a brokerage company, a director like him may not be able to make a film for a few years, and if his artists rely on him to eat, they will starve to death sooner or later.
And he doesn't need the help of artists to make money, the investment is high, the risk is high, and it takes energy, which is not cost-effective.
Generally, directors are signed under the banner of film and television companies, working part-time, and cooperating with film and television companies a little bit, and the two sides have a reciprocal relationship.
Zhang Yi is a top director, and there are a bunch of investors behind his ass at any time, he shows his talent, the investors pay money, and he follows the box office sharing model.
In the crew, he also has a lot of power, and he has the final say in everything.
The investor only needs to give money, and the rest is not to ask, and when the time comes, the movie will be released and the money will be collected.
Because there is no brokerage company, Zhang Yi's casting is all from the market, needless to say, the hero and heroine must find someone who can support the box office.
The two men and the two women can be almost, but they must also be popular and in line with the character of the character, and then don't press the male number one.
Ding Xiu has worked with Zhang Yi as a hero, and he has a good impression of him, and he is very suitable in all aspects, so he pulled him over.
When Ding Xiu signed the contract, Qin Gang leaned his elbows on his knees and asked casually: "Seven hundred thousand, how do you plan to spend it."
? ”
Ding Xiu didn't even think about it: "Change to a convertible sports car."
"What about the original Audi A6?"
"Give it to Xiaolan."
Qin Gang grinned.
This kid is really willing to spend money.
"I have an idea, would you like to hear it?" As long as it's not borrowing money, I'll listen to anything. ”
Qin Gang was silent.
Ding Xiu: "......"
"***", is it really borrowing money?"
"Ahem." Qin Gang cleared his throat: "Then I'll change the way and cooperate."
Ding Xiu: "White prostitute?"
"Don't say it so ugly, I haven't finished my sentence yet."
"Okay, you say."
Qin Gang sat up straight and said solemnly: "To be honest, Bao Qiang's departure hit me hard, but I don't blame him,
It's my own incompetence to blame. ”
glanced at Ding Xiu and asked, "You should have played the male lead a long time ago on your terms, why can't you play it."
Ding Xiu crossed Erlang's legs and said easily: "It's too late for other producers to praise their own people, so what does I have to do."
In the early years, the environment in the film and television industry was not bad, and film and television companies and investors all served directors.
The casting of directors is also found from the market, and whoever is more popular and more in line with the characters will be chosen.
Now that film and television are exploding, the investment is small, the harvest is large, and it belongs to the profiteering industry, and capital has begun to intervene, and they have established a film
Depending on the company, signed directors, artists, set up stoves to cook and eat by themselves.
The film and television company came up with the script, injected funds, pulled a group of investors, and then pushed its own artists to occupy the main role.
It doesn't matter if the artist is not popular, find a few popular artists from the market to play.
And it is very difficult for outsiders to play the leading role.
This approach is understandable, in line with the market environment, and it is also human nature, ask yourself, if Ding Xiu makes a drama one day, he will definitely give priority to Gao Yuanyuan and Qin Lan.
Of course, businessmen seek profits, and if you are very popular, people are willing to ask you to be a man.
For example, Liu Dehua, the male one who can't finish picking up.
The problem is that Ding Xiu is not like Liu De, he is not so popular that people are willing to invite him to be the first man, relying on him to eat
Step.
"Yes, the producers are all their artists." Qin Ganggan (This chapter is not finished!) )
Chapter 148: Invest by yourself and be the hero by yourself
"No accident, in the next two or three years, your apex will almost be the male number two."
"It's still the best-case scenario."
He added.
"I've been thinking about it for a long time these days, and there is only one way to break this situation, and that is to have a say in the crew."
Ding Xiu's face changed slightly, and then he sneered: "You said it lightly."
"There is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of those who have a heart." Qin Gang crossed his fingers and said solemnly: "I have some money in my hand, you have it."
There is also money, let's invest in a drama together, won't we be the masters ourselves?"
Ding Xiu's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Okay, Lao Qin, don't say this trick earlier, if it's a play invested by the company, then."
It's not like we're going to play whatever role we want. ”
Qin Gang smiled, he thought the same way.
This is also the only way to promote Ding Xiu to the male number one in the short term.
Excited, Ding Xiu asked, "How much money do you have now?"
After pondering for a few seconds, Qin Gang said, "There are still three million thousand."
More than half of this money is mortgaged for a house, a car, plus years of savings, and then borrowed from friends.
Ding Xiu rolled his eyes and raised his middle finger at him.
A 40-episode normal-level TV series on the market, with a small amount of money, also costs 8 million yuan, this is still an urban drama, no need to set up scenes, shoot with ready-made streets.
If it is a costume drama, you need to set up a scene, rent a venue, and the cost of service will increase, and you can't do it without adding three or five million.
If you invite two more well-known stars in the play, the cost will be added by two or three million.
A rough calculation shows that fifteen million is enough.
Qin Gang wants to buy the actor for three million, it's just a dream.
Qin Gang was not discouraged, but said seriously: "I have three million, you always have more than two million, don't deny it, I know very well how much money you have, plus 700,000 ambushes on all sides, we will have more than 6 million, and it will not be a problem to do more commercial performances later, and it is not a problem to make up 7 million."
"Xiaolan must have five or six hundred thousand, and if you borrow hundreds of thousands from Gao Yuanyuan, won't you have eight million?
”
"In addition, you are the male number one, if you star in zero salary, how can you convert it into a million resource stocks, right? That's nine million. ”
As he spoke, Qin Gang looked up at the roof: "How much did you buy this house in the first place?"
Ding Xiu sighed: "Old Qin, you should be grateful that this is a harmonious society, really, if someone had told me a few years ago."
With these words, the grass on the grave is several meters high. ”
