Chapter 19 Overseas Earnings
Shen Xudong turned his head to look at the door, yo, isn't this Xiao Ah Xian!
Siqing in "Heart Flower Road"...
Sister Longlegs!
“… You don't need me to introduce him, do you think he is a young talent? ”
Zhao Baogang beckoned her in, and then introduced her to Shen Xudong: "Zhang Li, a new actor signed by our company!" ”
Before Shen Xudong could speak, Zhang Li spoke first: "... Hello brother! ”
"You're in the middle of the opera? Which one? ”
"'03..."
"'03..."
Shen Xudong pondered: "Then you and Wang Kai are classmates?" ”
"Yes... Kai Kai is the most attentive in our class. ”
Shen Xudong was about to continue speaking, when Bao Gang interjected: "This girl has no confidence in acting..."
Zhang Li nodded: "When I just graduated, I took over the first play "Golden Earrings" and acted for half a year, and then I felt that I was not suitable for being an actor, so I couldn't act, so I went to Thailand to work and wash dishes." ”
“… Oh? ”
"Later, Director Bao Gang called and said that there was a good role, let me try it..."
Shen Xudong cooperated: "All of a sudden? ”
Zhang Li shook her head: "No, I still can't act, I feel a lot of pressure every day, I make ten wrong words, I make two wrong words, I say I won't, and the director will never do it if you don't have to learn!" ”
"Director Bao Gang didn't scold?"
"That play was directed by director Wang Jun... Wang Jun is also very strict with actors! ”
Shen Xudong probably understood!
In fact, it is really difficult for fresh graduates who have no connections and background to get ahead in acting after entering the entertainment industry, first, they have no access to high-quality resources, and second, newcomers have no experience in acting, and it is easy to get out of the horns after being frustrated.
That's why these acting schools graduate so many students every year, and in the end we see very few new people on TV.
"There are two kinds of actors, one is God's appreciation of food, and the other is that the ancestor appreciates and eats. God's appreciation is talent, and grandpa's appreciation is based on experience and diligence... In the end, it's all the same way..."
"Talent?"
"Zhou Xingchi is a typical talent type, you look at his performance, can you say that his performance is appropriate? It's really not good, even if the same performance is performed by another actor, it will be scolded by the audience for grandstanding, but it is suitable for him, this is talent..."
"What about the hard workers?"
"Andy Lau, a typical hard-working actor, so he can only act like a god, because he can never forget his star status..."
As he was talking, Zhao Bao just picked up his mobile phone: "You two talk, I have a meeting..."
Well, it's quite discerning...
……
Oh, that night, Shen Xudong sent her home, and then went back to the hotel himself.
It's not that she didn't like it, it's not that she didn't want to, in fact, in the car, she performed ventriloquism.
It's really something the next day, it's not good to stay up late!
I'll talk about it next time - I have already asked her to star in "33 Days of Broken Love"...
is about to be released, Shen Xudong is now full of "Zhao Zilong 2" facing "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", he is the kind of person who will have fighting spirit when things are about to happen!
I haven't taken it seriously before, mainly because I don't think there's any need to be excited about playing "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor"...
But now the mood is really high...
So much so that I didn't sleep much all night, and the next day I went out of the room with a panda eye.
I knew that this was the case, so it was better to communicate art with Zhang Li.
Anyway, the effect is about the same!
Regret it...
It's useless to regret it, I got out of the room, ate something, and then joined the crew and started the roadshow directly - there was no premiere!
After several premieres of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor", the crew of "Zhao Zilong 2" went the opposite way and directly kicked off the roadshow, with five major roadshows at BJ Station: Golden Harvest Cinema, Wanda Cinema, BJ Xingmei Cinema, BJ Huaxing Cinema and Sino-American Meijia Happy Cinema.
The five theaters, which belong to Wanda Cinema Line, Jiahe Cinema Line, China Film Star Art Cinema Line, BJ New Film Association and UME Cinema Line, are also the top five theaters in terms of moviegoers last year!
The roadshow must be very lively, you don't have to think about it, "Zhao Zilong 2" and "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" are noisy.
A bunch of gossip...
The most widely circulated is the salary theory: "Zhao Zilong 2", the salary offered by Golden Harvest is too insulting, the first part earned 30 million US dollars, and the second part was only willing to give Andy Lau a salary of 8 million Hong Kong dollars, the latter led Li Rengang to withdraw from "Zhao Zilong 2" in a fit of anger, and started anew...
There is also the fact that Andy Lau does not want to play a role repeatedly...
Oh, this rumor is very, because he still plays Zhao Yun in "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor";
At this stage, when it comes to marketing and stepping on, Hong Kong media can indeed teach mainland media to be people!
Think about it, Xie Tingfeng's top bag case can wash the prodigal son and turn back, Zhou Jie crashed the car, and then he has no quality;
Zhong Hanliang's snake kiss screams and kisses the leader of the drama world, it's hard to say whether Zhou Jie sticks out her tongue or not, she has become a big pervert!
Pull it back, these are useless, the movie has to rely on the movie itself to speak.
Shen Xudong responded positively for the first time: "Director Li Rengang can't retreat, it doesn't matter, we do the Three Kingdoms series, the tone has been set from the beginning, everyone has watched "Zhao Zilong 2", director Liu Guonan and director Yin Tao's execution ability is not worse than director Li Rengang..."
"Andy Lau's withdrawal did have some impact, and I didn't want to continue filming "Zhao Zilong" at that time... The overseas market still buys Andy Lau's account very much! As soon as he withdraws, the overseas advance payment for "Zhao Zilong 2" will be returned..."
"But "Zhao Zilong 2" must be filmed, which is related to the Three Kingdoms series... I remember that day I just watched "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", Luo Cheng, the silver saddle shines on the white horse, sassy like a meteor, as soon as Nie Yuan appeared, he stopped me, this is Zhao Zilong! ”
"So, after looking for Brother Yuan, I know that everyone will definitely compare Andy Lau's version and Nie Yuan's version, you can compare it casually, I only want to say one thing, Toei Co., Ltd. of Japanese benzene watched the trailer of "Zhao Zilong 2", and then bought out the copyright of Japanese benzene at a price of $25 million, and South Korea's CJ Entertainment also bought out at a price of $14 million..."
"In addition, let me tell you, the overseas copyright of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" has been discussed... Purely from the perspective of overseas revenue, "Zhao Zilong 2" completely beats "Seeing the Dragon and Unloading the Armor", I won't evaluate that movie..."
"Xudong, I heard that "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" was killed by Jiahe, so Li Rengang started a new business?"
“… I don't want to explain... But from a screenwriter's point of view... No, from the perspective of a Three Kingdoms fan, the script of "Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" is terrible... I don't know how their movies are, but certainly not! ”
"And what do you predict the box office?"
"I don't predict this, anyway, my expectation for "Zhao Zilong 2" is that the mainland will exceed 200 million, and the box office in Asia will exceed 100 million US dollars!"
"A hundred million dollars..."
"Cao Cao" has a box office of $93 million in Asia, and it is still in theaters..."
