Chapter Seventy-Nine: Offline DVD ...

In later generations, Yang Ziqiong won the Oscar, and many people sarcastically ridiculed Zhang Ziyi...

You don't have to!

Let's be honest.

Yang Ziqiong has never been fetters to the "international superstar" coffee position.

The bonds of the so-called international superstars are very real, and the impact is also subtle. It restricts actors in all aspects such as film selection, co-director, team, and cooperation methods.

This also led to Zhang Ziyi having a way out - she wanted to use Hollywood to make herself better, but it turned out to be unsatisfactory.

Since the water and soil are not adapted, there is no point in staying, it is just a waste of time.

Therefore, she returned to China to develop!

Yang Ziqiong is different, she is just working.

Yang Ziqiong was originally Malaysian.

The small market in Malaysia was not enough for her to develop, so she went to Hollywood, and then she went into Hollywood wholeheartedly.

In fact, Hollywood needs an Asian face, at this time, there are not so many restrictions on taking on the role, Yang Ziqiong, who has been in Hollywood for many years, has OK acting skills and can play.

was chosen.

Zhang Ziyi is different!

Yang Ziqiong is to change places and continue to work hard, this behavior is actually driven by the market.

Zhang Ziyi's return to China for development was also driven by the market.

This is a typical case where the initial value is different, and the path is different.

As for artistic achievements, Zhang Ziyi has actually tried, even if she tries hard, it is useless.

It's a matter of pure luck, and there are too many factors outside of the individual.

Can't Zhang Ziyi fight?

Jokes, the last swordsman, you think it's called and played?

said that she couldn't fight, you see if Wang Jiawei and Li Amine would say that.

"The Grandmaster" has evolved into the existence of "The Second Legend of the Palace"!

But then again, the work attitude of the so-called international superstar, in fact, does not help the development of artists.

Say a little bit.

When working, the scene will be cleared, and the producer's supervisor will also be cleared.

Of course, international superstars may not look down on the producers of small domestic units.

But I really don't think that the status of art needs to be highlighted in this way.

In fact, Gong Li is the same, the further back, the more various kinds of scores, the next interview has to clear the scene on the spot, nostrils look at people, concave queen posture, and the work is declining, almost none of them can get their hands on...

Another point is that they have their own coffee seats, which affects the integrity of a drama very much.

This is not only Zhang Ziyi, but also Sidan Shuangbing has such an impact - in fact, compared with Qin Hailu, Yu Nan, Yuan Quan, Yan Bingyan and the like, the so-called Sidan Shuangbing does not have any business advantages.

Their real advantage is only that they have more film and television resources in the early years, more opportunities to compete for awards, and better team packaging and marketing!

Because of this, their respective teams attach great importance to their own coffee positions.

It's demanding on things like scenes.

After all, this thing is directly related to the commercial value of real money...

Therefore, Zhang Ziyi's appearance in "The Climber" needs a stinky and long Qiong Yao drama-like love line...

Shen Xudong did not hesitate to refuse Zhang Ziyi's request to star in "33 Days of Broken Love".

He said directly: "Huang Xiaoxian, the heroine of "33 Days of Broken Love", is a very ordinary girl, what do you think, how did you think of starring in this kind of movie? ”

“… I also need to prove myself through commercial films... And I love the original..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "You can't play this kind of role!" ”

Zhang Ziyi was very unconvinced: "You haven't seen me act in this kind of movie, why do you say I can't act?" ”

Shen Xudong asked casually: "... Do you know who Yourcenar is? Have you read her books? ”

“… Have you read the white lily you chose? ”

"I told her that when I wrote "33 Days of Broken Love", a sentence from Yourcenar was related to the plot... Then she bought all of Yourcenal's books, and when I saw her a second time and asked her questions about Yousenar, she was able to discuss them with me! ”

"It's not fair, you told her in advance!"

“… Because when I wrote it, the character I brought in was her... And she's also suitable..."

“… But you use me, I can..."

Zhang Ziyi originally wanted to say, 'I can help you bring in investment', but... How can Shen Xudong lack funds to make a movie?

The total cost of "33 Days of Broken Love" is close to 30 million, mainly spent on Shen Xudong's own script, director, and production expenses - together it is 11 million, not including the later profit dividends!

The screenwriter's fee is 3 million, the producer's salary is 3 million, and the director's salary is 5 million...

That's right, he alone divided more than a third!

If it sells in the later stage, he can share 20 points of profit!

As for the 30 million cost...

No way, there are too many advertising placements, a pair of brands rushed to be implanted, and after three rounds of screening, there are still 14 brands left, and the implantation cost is 36 million!

Therefore, as long as this drama is released, it will already make money.

……

Although Zhang Ziyi was refused, the meal still had to be eaten.

The place Zhang Ziyi chose is indeed very good, and the food is also very good.

While eating, Shen Xudong changed the topic: "Didn't your "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" be released?" ”

“… I didn't get on, I heard that I was going to go offline on video..."

"B-movie?"

"Yes!"

Shen Xudong was happy: "Tsk..."

Zhang Ziyi was a little unhappy: "What's wrong?" ”

"It's just ridiculous... When I watched the publicity before, I thought "Knight" was a super A production! ”

Indeed, Zhang Ziyi's team promoted "Knight" in various ways before, describing this drama as 'Zhang Ziyi's partner with Hollywood first-line actors...'

Blowing up the sky!

Chen Xi couldn't help but speak: "What does it mean to go offline?" ”

Shen Xudong explained casually: "Even if you don't enter theaters in the United States, you only release discs, there are more than 6,000 film and television companies in the United States, and there are thousands of movies produced every year. Therefore, most of the movies that do not meet expectations are simply not released! ”

“… So, "Knight" didn't live up to expectations? ”

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't watch that movie... All I know is that one of the producers, Joseph Drake, is my partner... He should know the quality of the movie very well, and if you want to know the truth, you can call him and ask him! ”

"Joseph is the producer of 'Knight'?"

Of course Chen Xi knows Joseph... She took out her mobile phone, and then Zhang Ziyi spoke: "It's just that the quality is not up to par..."

Shen Xudong was about to continue to ask, but Zhang Ziyi suddenly asked: "Your company in the United States makes so many movies every year, why don't you look for me?" ”

"You're too expensive... We use cheap actors! ”

"The two leading actors of "Seeing the Devil" are cheap?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: ""Seeing the Devil" is a confrontation scene between two heroes, how can there be room for female actors to play?" ”

“… And what about "Clover Ten"? ”

"The cost of that one is $20 million, the pure production cost is close to $18 million, and the actors, crew and crew together are less than $2 million, how much has your salary risen now? Besides, didn't you sign a three-part contract with Weinstein Pictures... I heard that you are going to play "Seven Samurai", by the way, didn't your rich boyfriend help you connect with Warner? ”
