Chapter 305: Those who learn from me live, and those who are like me die [two in one]
As the absolute core of this movie celebration banquet, Goofy has naturally been concerned by people with a heart.
Therefore, when he and Ren Zhonglun and the others left, everyone should understand that these people were sharing the spoils, so the envy in their eyes was about to overflow even more.
Especially Zhang Ziyi, if you want to say who is the most uncomfortable among the guests, it is estimated that no one can compare to her.
As the saying goes: there is no harm without contrast.
is also making movies, Gao Fei has made a lot of money here, but she has lost all her money, and she can't stand it.
If it weren't for the fact that she still had ideas for the next film in the "Ghost Blows the Lantern" series, she wouldn't have participated in this celebration banquet.
In comparison, Brother Cheng Long is much more determined.
The eldest brother, who just finished the concert of "Cheng Long and His Friends" in the Bird's Nest a while ago, is very relaxed at the moment.
Although he was a little envious of Goofy's good luck, he was just envious.
At most, when I was chatting with Li Lianjie, I regretted that I didn't look for Gao Fei when I filmed "Big Soldier" at the beginning of the year, otherwise he would have made money.
Seeing him say this, Li Lianjie immediately smiled and understood that Cheng Long was joking.
After all, when Cheng Long made a cameo appearance in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", he saw Gao Fei filming on the spot with his own eyes.
However, looking at Gao Fei in the corner who was communicating with Huayi, Shangying and other companies, Li Lianjie suddenly chuckled at the corner of his mouth and said:
"Don't you think this kid looks like a person?"
After that, facing Cheng Long's puzzled eyes, Li Lianjie added:
"It's good to come to the dock!"
Seeing him say this, Cheng Long suddenly became interested, and even though he frowned slightly, he remembered it.
After a while, I saw that he immediately slapped his thigh, laughed and said:
"Haha~ I thought about it!"
After that, in Li Lianjie's surprised eyes, I saw Cheng Long say proudly:
"Isn't it Tom Cruise?"
Hearing this, Li Lianjie immediately pursed his lips and said with emotion:
"Yes, that's him!"
And Fang Moyan, who was busy watching the beauty next to him, suddenly couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Gao Fei for a while, and then said with a strange expression:
"Not like that?"
Seeing him say this, Cheng Long on the side suddenly waved his hand again and again:
"You decrepit boy, soak your sister!"
After saying that, he drove him away with a disgusted face, and Li Lianjie was straight to the side.
But it's no wonder Fang Mo is ashamed.
Because Li Lianjie and Cheng Long are not talking about their looks at all, but their style of acting and their status in the entertainment circles of the two countries are very similar.
……
It is said that 12 years have passed since Tom Tom filmed the first "Mission Impossible" in 1996, and the "Mission Impossible" series has also been filmed for the third part.
During this period, Tom Cruise and Paramount collaborated on a number of films, which grossed more than $2 billion in total, and it can be said that more than 15% of Paramount's total box office revenue was created by Tom Cruise.
But in 2006, "Mission Impossible 3" had just been released from theaters around the world, but Paramount Pictures did not hesitate to sweep this Hollywood superstar out of the house, breaking off the 14-year cooperative relationship between them.
This move can be said to have shocked the entertainment media around the world.
There was a lot of talk at the time, but most of the reporting and analysis were similar to the reasons given by Paramount Pictures.
That is Brother Tom, who is obsessed with believing in Scientology, and his old club can't stand it anymore, so he swept him away.

And the outside world also chose to believe this statement because of Tom's various strange actions in order to believe in Scientology.
However, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, who have been in Hollywood for many years, both know that the so-called Scientology is just an excuse.
The real bane is still in the cooperation agreement signed by Tom and Paramount 14 years ago.
If you look at the history of the development of Hollywood's star salary, you can find that 1992 is a very critical year.
Because since this year, Hollywood has completely entered the era of superstars and high salaries, and its landmark event is to invite Michael Douglas to play the leading role, and the producer of the movie "Instinct" paid a full $15 million.
In fact, before this, although the income of Hollywood stars was high, it was not so outrageous. Because those veteran companies have already had a tacit understanding after years of running-in, they will control the maximum salary of stars within a certain range.
But who let Sony buy Columbia Pictures in 1989!
And what the film industry is most afraid of is that the stunned young people come in and mix blindly, because after these rich rookies outside the circle enter the scene, they don't play cards according to the routine at all, and often raise prices and recruit stars, causing the studio to roll up.
So after a blind operation by Sony Pictures, the salary of Hollywood superstars has almost skyrocketed, and in the end, the salary of Michael Douglas is considered trivial.
Sony Pictures' most classic operation that year was to offer an unprecedented price of $20 million in 96 to invite Jim Carrey to star in "Ace Correspondent", which directly pushed the remuneration of first-line stars to the level of 20 million with one stroke.
was so angry that other production companies could only scold the street while increasing their salaries.
And at this point, other big manufacturers can't stand Sony's mess.
So after teaming up to teach Sony Pictures a few times, the superstar's salary was fixed at the 20 million level.
So the current Hollywood superstars should actually be grateful to Sony Pictures.
Because if it weren't for its-stirring stick, the superstar's salary would have to wait for more than ten years if he wanted to reach 20 million.
Of course, Sony Pictures is not without its rewards.
The loss of $3.2 billion in five years is a direct reward for Hollywood.
It's just that Sony Pictures, which harms others and harms itself, has shrunk its eggs later.
But the situation has changed, and since then, film and television companies, including the seven major Hollywood companies, have been plagued by the sky-high remuneration of stars.
It is precisely for this reason that when Tom and Paramount said 14 years ago that he could not be paid for starring in Paramount's movies, Paramount Pictures was overjoyed to sign the cooperation agreement.
Although Tom chose the theater box office share and DVD sales revenue dividends, Paramount still needs to pay money, and he didn't really prostitute this Hollywood superstar for nothing.
But this result is already undesirable for Paramount.
After all, there is still a big gap for Paramount to give money first or later, at least the cost of the film has been greatly reduced, and the financial risk has also been reduced a lot.
Because this is equivalent to Tom and Paramount bearing the consequences of the failure of the movie together.
At the time, most Hollywood superstars were skeptical about this payment method.
It's just how happy he was when he promised at the beginning, and how upset Paramount was later.
Because they didn't expect that Tom's box office appeal would be so high.
Take the 2006 "Mission Impossible 3" as an example, on this movie, it is rumored that Tom Tom has made a full 70 million US dollars, and some say 100 million, but this is not important.
The key is that after Paramount worked up and down, he found out that he didn't earn as much as Tom Go.
Therefore, although "Mission Impossible 3" seems to be a movie produced by Paramount, it is not an exaggeration to say that this is Paramount working for Tom.
This led to the situation that "Mission Impossible 3" was just released from the theater, and Tom was swept out of the house when he turned around.
So to some extent, Goofy and Tom are really similar.
After all, he did eat the biggest cake with the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series in his hand, and the rest was handed over to other investors to compete for.
It's just that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand spectators.
In the eyes of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, what they see is Gao Fei's style of acting that resembles Brother Tom, but in the eyes of another group of people, what they see is his unique career plan.
……
Wuhan, Huaqi Film and Television.
As new players who have just entered the film and television industry, Huaqi boss Liu Guangwei and producer Zhang Tianshu were a little apprehensive when they were in charge of their first project.
And when he saw Gao Fei's news, producer Zhang Tianshu had an idea, and he couldn't help patting his thigh excitedly and said:
"We can learn his routines!"
"How do you study the Fa?"
Huaqi boss Liu Guangwei immediately asked.
Hearing this, I saw Zhang Tianshu excitedly pointing to Gao Fei on the computer page and analyzing:
"We don't know that although Goofy is popular, it doesn't have such a high box office appeal."
"In my opinion, "Looking for the Dragon" can win so much box office, in addition to the fact that he is better at hype than others, mainly because of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", which exploded in the country before the movie was released"
Speaking of this, Zhang Tianshu couldn't help but sigh with admiration:
"I don't know who came up with the idea."
"Tsk~ That TV series promotes the movie...... Hey, that's a great idea!
! ”
Hearing this, Liu Guangwei thought about it and found that it really seemed to be the case.
So he was immediately overjoyed, thinking that he had discovered the secret of the success of "Dragon Hunting".
But after being happy, he couldn't help but worry:
"However, our "People in Embarrassment" only has a total budget of 7 million, how can we have the money to make a TV series?"
Seeing him say this, Zhang Tianshu, who was excited on the side, suddenly wilted.
That's right, nothing is for nothing if you don't have money.
It's just that Zhang Tianshu really didn't want to miss this opportunity, so after thinking and meditating for a while, he simply gritted his teeth and said:
"Or ...... Let's invite Gao Fei. ”
"Anyway, he definitely has no shortage of TV dramas, let's just take his ride!"
Hearing this, Liu Guangwei suddenly glared at him angrily.
"What do you think!"
"Please? Even if we give him all the money for making movies, it won't be enough to pay other people's salaries! ”
Liu Guangwei's words are really not an exaggeration.
During the filming of "Looking for the Dragon" this time, Gao Fei gave himself a salary of 10 million, and neither Shangying nor Huayi had any opinion on this.
Because Goofy is really worth the price!
And this is before the release of "Looking for the Dragon", and now if you want to ask Gao Fei to make a movie again, it is basically impossible without 12 million, this is the latest news released by Han Li.
Therefore, the seven million prepared by Huaqi Film and Television for the filming of "People in Embarrassment" is really not enough to pay Gao Fei's salary.
Thinking of this, Zhang Tianshu could only sigh in disappointment.
However, inspired by his suggestion, Liu Guangwei had a new idea.
Since they can't afford to fly high, they can find someone else!
Thinking of this, he immediately pulled Zhang Tianshu to screen among the original male protagonist candidates to see who would have a TV series coming next year.
And so it was, when Goofy didn't know anything, a movie left him like this.
……
At the same time, Wang Jinghua, who ran away from Orange Sky again, also established her own brokerage company, Shibi Culture.
As the top agent in the circle, she soon became keenly aware of this hidden undercurrent, and even she faintly felt that the source of this undercurrent may be Gao Fei, who has been in the limelight in the entertainment industry recently.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but take out Gao Fei's detailed information again and start researching it.
It is said that since Gao Fei single-handedly broke out of the world, not only his peers in the circle are studying him, but senior agents like Wang Jinghua have also been analyzing his development trajectory, trying to find the secret of his success.
After several comparisons, Wang Jinhua found that since Gao Fei became popular in 2006, he seems to have maintained the output frequency of one TV series and one movie every year.
For example, in 2006, he filmed "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Casting a Name"
In 2007, he filmed "Chu Liuxiang" and "No Man's Land"
In 2008, he filmed "The Legend of Sword and Fairy III" and "Looking for the Dragon"
Although the number of movies made each year is not allowed, it seems that no matter how busy he is, he will always find time to make a TV series.
In a way, Goofy is a freak in the circle.
You must know that Chen Kun and Liu Huohua, who are about the same age as him, have never touched a TV series since they gained a firm foothold in the film industry, and they directly abandoned them like a shoehoe, which is as unpromising as Gao Fei. Someone else gives a little more than 100 million dollars, and he will be gone!
In fact, Wang Jinhua was aware of this before.
There was just one thing she didn't expect.
At first, she thought that Gao Fei's success was just a special case, but who would have thought that with Gao Fei's increasing influence, he has now influenced the employment standards of investors.
So now Wang Jinhua can't care about the actors' compulsion and the industry's contempt chain, after all, the relationship between supply and demand determines everything.
So after some careful consideration, she began to make large-scale adjustments to the career plans of her stars.
……
It's just stealing the teacher, or disliking it, Gao Fei can't care about it right now.
After Shangying and other investors settled the accounts, Gao Fei returned to the banquet hall to deal with the guests again.
However, although these people have different rhetoric, they are generally nothing more than two categories.
One is to want to mix a role in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, and among this kind of people, Ziyi's idea of a few chapters is the most bizarre.
She actually wanted Gao Fei to replace Liu Yifei with Liu Yifei and let her play Shirley Yang instead, and talked about the international film market with great words, and Gao Fei couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard it.
Gao Fei really doesn't know why she thinks she has box office appeal in the international film market? Is it because she is called the International Chapter?
So Goofy didn't bother to waste any more words with her, and after giving her an awkward but polite smile, he turned directly to the next guest.
In addition to those who want roles, most of the remaining guests are investors.
Because of the huge profits of "Looking for the Dragon", even though they knew that there was little hope, these people couldn't help but test in front of Gao Fei and try to catch this money-making express.
I didn't refuse all of this, after all, there must be no shortage of investment in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series in front of me.
Therefore, compared to money investment, he now attaches more importance to additional attributes other than money.
For example, after chatting with a general manager of Wanda Cinema Line for a while, Gao Fei decisively asked him to meet in private.
Without him, just because the total number of cinemas in Wanda Cinemas has reached 50 and has 400 screens.
And the box office generated by these 400 screens now accounts for 15% of the national box office share.
So in Gao Fei's heart, he was actually almost ready to kick Huayi and get off.
After all, instead of letting the distributor pass in the middle, he might as well deal with the theater chain directly, so that after a long time, won't there be connections, and there is no middleman to make the difference, how good!
With such thoughts, I saw Goofy walk into the bathroom somewhat absentmindedly.
It's just that just as he was about to release the water, Liu Tao coldly pushed the door in, and in front of him, he put a badge under maintenance at the door with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this, Gao Fei, who was slightly drunk, was suddenly stunned.
However, after subconsciously shaking and shaking habitually, Gao Fei immediately reacted, but it was too late at this time.
I saw that Liu Tao was worthy of being an experienced old driver, and before Gao Fei could say anything, she seemed to hear Gao Fei's heart.
And since she can hear her heart, she naturally doesn't need to communicate in words anymore.
So I saw that she immediately took the initiative to come up, face to face, mouth to mouth, and artificially silenced Gao Fei.
This made Goofy suddenly a little flustered.
It's just that Goofy didn't succumb so easily after all.
Seeing that Gao Fei was still trying to resist, Liu Tao finally squatted down and made the last killer move.
I have to say that a killer is a killer feature.
As soon as this move came out, Gao Fei was immediately at the mercy of others.
……
