Chapter 287 Rich and capricious
"Yuxuan, it's been a long time. You're getting more and more handsome now. You go to this station, I just don't know how many girls are going to be fascinated. Huang Baiming said with an exaggerated smile at Zhang Yuxuan.
"Director Huang, you're too awarded, too awarded." Zhang Yuxuan smiled and waved his hand.
"It's not a prize, it's not a prize at all."
Huang Baiming's attitude towards Zhang Yuxuan seems to be quite kind, no, it should be said that it is faintly a little, a little, well, it is said that it is not settled, but it is a little similar.
"Yuxuan, that's the case, after the filming of "Night Question", we always wanted you to shoot "Night Question 2", because of the schedule, so we have not been able to shoot, and now the movie "Great Wish" you made has also been completed, there should be a free schedule, so I came this time to invite you to take over the filming of "Night Question 2". You don't have to worry about the script of "Night Question 2", after the filming of "Night Question" was completed, we began to write this script, and during this time, after we wrote this script, we have repeatedly revised it many times, so you can definitely rest assured in terms of quality. In addition, you don't have to worry about the salary, we will directly follow your quotation. ”
The reason why Huang Baiming's attitude is so good is that he still wants to invite Zhang Yuxuan to make a movie.
The main reason is that Zhang Yuxuan's movie "Thai Embarrassment" won a box office of 500 million, such a high box office made countless people take a fancy to Zhang Yuxuan's own attraction to the box office.
In fact, not only Huang Baiming, but also many other directors also came to the door during this period.
It used to be better, most directors sent invitations and handed over scripts.
Now directors like Huang Baiming have personally gone into battle and taken the initiative to invite Zhang Yuxuan.
Even at this time, people in the entertainment industry have regarded Zhang Yuxuan as Zhou Xingxing in the nineties.
Zhou Xingxing in the nineties can be said to be the ruler of the absolute box office.
Although at that time, it was declared to be a double dragon to the outside world.
Zhou Xingxing, Zhou Runfa and Kung Fu Long are the three most powerful in the Xiangjiang film industry.
But in fact, if you look at the box office of movies in the 90s, you can see that Zhou Xingxing is the real ruler of the box office.
Even if Kung Fu Dragon has entered Hollywood, it is even thriving.
But even so, Kung Fu Dragon's movie, in the box office of Xiangjiang's movie, is still inferior to Zhou Xingxing's movie, not to mention Zhou Runfa.
Even if you look at the annual box office, the top three or even the top five movies with the highest annual box office are all Zhou Xingxing's movies, Kung Fu Dragon and Zhou Runfa their movie box office, maybe after the fourth or even fifth.
It can be said that aside from the factor of Kung Fu Long's blessing of Hollywood fame, Zhou Xingxing's salary is unique. The back is Zhou Runfa.
Zhang Yuxuan's current situation is similar to Zhou Xingxing's at the beginning.
No, even more optimistic than Zhou Xingxing's situation.
Because of the original Zhou Xingxing, there is also a kung fu dragon on it, after all, the kung fu dragon entered Hollywood, which made many people proud of it, so the kung fu dragon is also above Zhou Xingxing.
And Zhang Yuxuan, there is no actor in China who is above him.
In this case, which director doesn't want to ask Zhang Yuxuan to be the protagonist? Therefore, it is normal for Huang Baiming to personally invite Zhang Yuxuan.
At this time, Zhang Yuxuan, facing Huang Baiming's invitation, had a faint embarrassment on his face: "The filming location of "Night Question 2" is in Xiangjiang, right? ”
Huang Baiming couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "That's right, "Yewen 2" tells the story of Yewen after leaving Foshan and settling in Xiangjiang, and the filming location is naturally in Xiangjiang." Huang Baiming said this, his eyes were also silently watching Zhang Yuxuan's expression, and he faintly noticed that Zhang Yuxuan seemed to be a little repulsed by Xiangjiang-
"Director Huang, I have something to do next, why don't you leave the script here first, and then reply to you after I finish reading the script?" Zhang Yuxuan said to Huang Baiming with a smile.
"That's fine, that's fine. We'll be in touch when you're done reading the script. Huang Baiming smiled and nodded.
After Huang Baiming left, Zhang Yuxuan glanced at the script of "Night Question 2" left by Huang Baiming, didn't read it, and threw it aside.
"When Huang Baiming comes back in the future, he will say that I am not there." Zhang Yuxuan said to the secretary.
"Uh, good boss." When the secretary heard Zhang Yuxuan's words, he hurriedly responded.
In fact, there are many people who have come to Zhang Yuxuan recently, and most of them have been directly stopped outside, saying that Zhang Yuxuan is not there.
And this time Huang Baiming came to the door, and the secretary probably thought that Zhang Yuxuan had cooperated with Huang Baiming before, and had filmed "Night Question" together, thinking that Zhang Yuxuan and Huang Baiming would continue to cooperate, so Huang Baiming was let in.
On the second day after Huang Baiming left, Zhang Yuxuan called Huang Baiming and refused to participate in the movie "Night Question 2".
Huang Baiming is naturally unwilling.
On the one hand, Zhang Yuxuan can now bring a huge box office, but on the other hand, it is because Zhang Yuxuan himself has acted in "Night Question", and the most taboo thing about the same series of movies is to change actors.
If the actor's fame is not good, it will be changed.
But Zhang Yuxuan's fame is getting bigger and bigger, if Zhang Yuxuan can participate in "Night Question 2", it will definitely bring better box office and popularity to the movie.
In this case, how could Huang Baiming be willing to let Zhang Yuxuan not participate?
So, Huang Baiming took the initiative to come to Zhang Yuxuan's studio again and tried to invite Zhang Yuxuan in person.
It's just that this time, Zhang Yuxuan's secretary directly told Huang Baiming that Zhang Yuxuan was not there.
Huang Baiming had no choice but to leave, and when he came back the next day, he was still told that Zhang Yuxuan was not there.
Now, Huang Baiming kind of understood what the situation was.
Zhang Yuxuan: This really doesn't want to participate in "Night Question 2".
It's just that Huang Baiming doesn't understand, and the script of "Night Question 2" is not bad!
Although at the beginning, after "Night Question" won the high box office, he did fool around with a script casually and wanted Zhang Yuxuan to star, but because of Zhang Yuxuan's refusal, Huang Baiming took the script back again, which can be regarded as a meticulous work, and the quality of the current script is very different from the original script.
The quality of the script is not bad, and the crew is also the original crew. Obviously, the quality of the filming of "Night Question 2" is definitely not worse than that of "Night Question", in this case, why did Zhang Yuxuan refuse to star in "Night Question 2".
Huang Baiming suddenly thought that the last time he met Zhang Yuxuan, Zhang Yuxuan once asked him if the filming location of "Night Question 2" was in Xiangjiang.
Therefore, Zhang Yuxuan refused to star in "Night Question 2" because the filming location was in Xiangjiang?
Then Huang Baiming thought of Zhang Yuxuan's previous participation in the Academy Awards, and then expressed his rejection of the Academy Awards in front of reporters, so Huang Baiming couldn't help but have a thought in his heart: 'Zhang Yuxuan shouldn't be because of the Academy Awards, so he doesn't plan to take Xiangjiang's movies, right?' ’
When this idea first appeared, Huang Baiming still felt ridiculous.
After all, Xiangjiang is still a place that many artists in the mainland yearn for.
Now many celebrities still want to go to Xiangjiang to make a name for themselves.
Especially at the Academy Awards, countless mainland filmmakers want to win the Academy Awards.
So the last time Zhang Yuxuan directly said that he would not participate in the Academy Awards in the future, and the connotation of the Academy Awards was unfair, Huang Baiming and the others still felt that Zhang Yuxuan had a problem with his brain at that time.
It's just that Zhang Yuxuan's movies can get a high box office, so they have to find Zhang Yuxuan.
And now, Zhang Yuxuan, who they think has a brain problem, does not participate in the filming of "Night Question 2", and Huang Baiming is dumbfounded.
But no matter what, Huang Baiming didn't plan to give up on letting Zhang Yuxuan participate in "Night Question 2", so he tried to find some connections to persuade Zhang Yuxuan.
The first thing Huang Baiming found was naturally Zhang Yuxuan's former agent Wang Jinghua.
It's just that Wang Jinghua also knows Zhang Yuxuan's character, and knows that although Zhang Yuxuan is usually lazy and lazy, he doesn't seem to be self-motivated. But she knew that many times, Zhang Yuxuan's idea was still very right.
But whatever Zhang Yuxuan believes, no matter what others say, it will not change.
Zhang Yuxuan refused to participate in "Night Question 2", but he was afraid that no matter how much he persuaded him, Zhang Yuxuan would not change his mind.
However, knowing that Zhang Yuxuan would not change his mind, Wang Jinghua still called and asked the reason. At least she wanted to know the reason for Zhang Yuxuan's refusal, so that she could respond to Huang Baiming's side.
Regarding Wang Jinghua's inquiry, Zhang Yuxuan was also very calm.
"I don't like the people over there, I don't like the people over there, and I don't like the Academy Awards, so I don't plan to take any movie that needs to be shot in Xiangjiang in the future." Zhang Yuxuan replied.
Hearing Zhang Yuxuan's answer, Wang Jinghua was a little speechless, but she took it for granted, it should be said that she took it for granted that this kind of thing happened to Zhang Yuxuan.
After hanging up the phone, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but feel emotional.
I think that at the beginning, when she signed Zhang Yuxuan, Zhang Yuxuan only had one role in "Breaking the Waves in "The Storm and the Clouds Dominate the World", which could be handled, and it could be regarded as a small budding.
Then she gave Zhang Yuxuan some scripts for Zhang Yuxuan to choose, and they were not good characters and good scripts.
But among those resources that are not very good in her opinion, Zhang Yuxuan insisted on picking out the drama "Pink Girl", and after filming, it directly became a phenomenal TV series.
Then Zhang Yuxuan began to take off all the way.
From that time on, Zhang Yuxuan seemed to be taking on any play, and whatever play became popular. It's the same to make a movie in the back, and make a fire one.
Then, Zhang Yuxuan has now become the highest-grossing actor in domestic movies, no, it was already last year.
Count the movies made by Zhang Yuxuan.
"Crazy Stone" has a box office of 40 million.
"Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" has a box office of 200 million.
"The City is Full of Golden Armor" 291 million
"Charlotte's Troubles" 334 million
"People in Embarrassment" 391 million.
"Young You" 368 million
"Painted Skin" 320 million
"Night Question" 310 million
"Thai Embarrassment" is 510 million.
The box office of these movies that Zhang Yuxuan has participated in has accumulated to nearly 2.7 billion and nearly 2.8 billion. It can be said that Zhang Yuxuan is definitely the actor with the highest box office in domestic movies now, and there is no one.
is more powerful than Zhang Yuxuan, and only Kung Fu Long and Li Lianjie, two stars who have developed in Hollywood.
As for the other actors, there are very few who have accumulated more than one billion at the box office.
Therefore, now Zhang Yuxuan, he is really qualified to be capricious.
Not to mention, Zhang Yuxuan's willful capital is not only the box office of the movie, but also Zhang Yuxuan's own worth.
Wang Jinghua knows that most of the money Zhang Yuxuan makes from making movies now is still invested in the real estate industry.
Thinking of the development of real estate over the years, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but blush.
At the beginning, Zhang Yuxuan took Wang Jinghua to invest in real estate, and Wang Jinghua's worth also rose upside down.
It's just that Wang Jinghua can't see the prospect of real estate clearly after all, so after Wang Jinghua established Shibi Culture Media, she began to slowly withdraw the front investment in real estate and put all of it into the entertainment industry. After all, who asked Wang Jinghua to be good at the entertainment industry, not real estate.
She has invested money in the entertainment industry, and she has indeed made a lot of money over the years.
After all, Zhang Yuxuan's movies and Wang Jinghua's pick-up culture media are all invested, and of course they have made a lot of money.
It can be said that the money made by Shibi Culture Media over the years is much more than that of Huayi.
But!
But the money earned from investing in movies is much worse than the income from real estate.
Wang Jinghua invested in the entertainment industry, and over the years, her money has quadrupled. But real estate, damn it, it's going to be twenty times over. Although this is an exaggeration.
However, over the years, nothing can really be compared to making money in real estate!
So although Wang Jinghua doesn't know what Zhang Yuxuan's specific net worth is, Zhang Yuxuan is definitely richer than herself, and she is much richer.
So Zhang Yuxuan is really rich and capricious, and he has the qualifications to be capricious.
made movies and became the highest-grossing actor in China, invested in real estate, and also made a lot of money. Thinking about it like this, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but feel a sense of envy and even jealousy in her heart.
But if you want to say that Wang Jinghua withdrew from real estate and joined the entertainment industry, do you regret it?
Sometimes I regret it a little. But more often than not, Wang Jinghua still thinks it's worth it.
After all, after a certain amount of money is more, the difference is not so big. At that time, they were pursuing more of their own vision.
Wang Jinghua is good at the entertainment industry, and she also likes to mix in the entertainment industry, so she can be full of energy and feel fulfilled.
After throwing out the mess in her head, Wang Jinghua called Huang Baiming and said that Zhang Yuxuan didn't plan to go to Xiangjiang to film recently because of the Academy Awards.
When Huang Baiming heard Wang Jinghua say this reason, he really wanted to scold his mother.
As a result, Huang Baiming tried to move the filming location from Xiangjiang to the mainland.
As for the venue - what kind of venue is not in the studio? In the film and television city, you can get a Xiangjiang Street to film.
It's just that Huang Baiming's idea is good, but the crew of "Night Question 2" disagrees!
It's like Hong Xiubao, let him, the big brother of Xiangjiang, accommodate a mainland actor? Absolutely not!
At this time, Xiangjiang people still maintain that sense of superiority in front of mainland actors. Compromise because of a mainland actor, and even move a movie that was supposed to be filmed in Hong Kong to the mainland? Absolutely disagree!
The entire crew, inside and out, did not agree with anyone.
Hong Xiubao even said: "If you insist on moving the crew from Xiangjiang to the mainland? Yes, you can! But I don't shoot anymore! ”
Hong Qibao took the lead, and the rest of the people had to pick a pick.
What should I do?
On the one hand, there is an actor Zhang Yuxuan, and on the other side is the entire crew except Zhang Yuxuan!
No way, let's change people.
Huang Baiming could only be replaced.
For whom? Of course, it's Zhang Yuxuan.
So, Huang Baiming found two replacement actors.
One is Liang Chaowei and the other is Zhen Bullet.
Needless to say, Liang Chaowei's acting skills are well-known in Xiangjiang. And the temperament that Liang Chaowei has on him, it is quite appropriate to play the middle-aged night question.
And what about Zhen Bullet. The kung fu is good, but whether it is fame or other aspects, it is a little worse.
After all, Zhen Bullet at this time has no experience in "Painted Skin", no qualifications to star in "Night Question", and now, what he can do is just kill the wolf and the fuse, but in these two movies, the image of Zhen Bullet is fierce and ferocious, which does not conform to the setting of Night Question, and does not have the temperament of a grandmaster.
In the end, Huang Baiming chose Liang Chaowei to star in "Night Question 2".
For these, Zhang Yuxuan doesn't know.
It wasn't until Liu Yan talked about it that Zhang Yuxuan knew that the actor of "Night Question 2" was played by Liang Chaowei.
Zhang Yuxuan was a little surprised by this, and then he was no longer surprised, after all, Liang Chaowei acted at night, and it was really more than enough.
As for Yoo Yeon-
She is now an artist in Zhang Yuxuan's studio!
After Liu Yan's performance in "The Great Wish", Zhang Yuxuan casually asked which artist Liu Yan was, and after learning that Liu Yan had no contract at all, Zhang Yuxuan casually asked if he wanted to sign his own personal studio.
Liu Yan didn't think about it, and directly chose to sign a contract. Liu Yan has actually been in the entertainment industry for a few years, but she was a host before, she tried to film, but she couldn't find any resources at all, and she hit a wall again and again, which was like looking for a backer, and knowing the treatment of Wu Jing and Zhang Yi after signing Zhang Yuxuan's studio, she had no reason not to be tempted.
So, in Zhang Yuxuan's studio, the first female artist was in place.
After signing the contract, Liu Yan was arranged with some resources.
Although the resources can't be said to be particularly good, they can't be compared to Zhang Yi and Wu Jing, who can play the leading role in the movie as soon as they sign a contract, and it is still Ning Hao's movie, but it is not worse than the treatment of ordinary actors, not long ago, she just participated in the second female lead in a TV series.
