Chapter 291: In the crew

Mango Terrace now regrets it very much.

First, I regret that after Zhang Yuanjun officially announced his relationship half a month ago, the TV series that intended for him hesitated. Now with the announcement of "Inception", Zhang Yuanjun's worth has skyrocketed, and it is impossible for Cannes actor and Leonardo to cooperate in Hollywood blockbusters, and then it is impossible to use the salary that was initially negotiated before to contract Zhang Yuanjun.

Mango TV reconnected with Zhang Yuanjun's team, and Zhang Yuanjun was still willing to act in this drama, but the salary and treatment had to be all discussed.

Of course, Mango Channel, as an important domestic satellite TV town, Zhang Yuanjun's team still respects each other, and the requirements are all in line with Zhang Yuanjun's current coffee position.

However, the production of this drama needs to re-attract investment, Zhang Yuanjun's salary was already at the top level in China before he went to Cannes, and now that the tide is rising, the original budget can no longer cover Zhang Yuanjun's salary.

Although Zhang Yuanjun's studio did not invest in this drama, the producer used the banner of Zhang Yuanjun to attract investment, at least the leading actor had to obtain Zhang Yuanjun's consent.

This is the treatment of the big names in the crew, not the producer or the investor, but the whole team has to listen to him.

If you are another actor, the domineering Mango Station really won't be so used to it.

But Zhang Yuanjun is different after all, the first student in China, the new Cannes actor came to act in the Anti-Japanese War TV series, and no TV station has encountered this kind of thing.

Playing Zhang Yuanjun's card, investors will really pay money, and it is a lot of money: "As long as he can come, I will give him as much as he wants." ”

Some investors even said: "If you can invite Liu Yifei, I will double it for you." ”

This TV series is still in the preparatory stage, and the film purchasing directors of various TV stations have already wanted to sign a contract, and they are all coming for Zhang Yuanjun.

There is no way, things are up to now, it is difficult for Mango Terrace to ride a tiger, and Zhang Yuanjun must be coaxed to be happy, otherwise the loss will be real money.

The second thing Mango TV regretted was that because of the announcement of the relationship, "Behind the Story" withdrew the originally scheduled interview with Liu Yifei.

Now the bowels of the column group are repentant.

wanted to make an appointment with Liu Yifei again, but people didn't come, saying that they would concentrate on preparing "Inception".

asked her when she would have a schedule, and "Behind the Story" would be adjusted to her at any time, Liu Yifei said that she would be free this year.

Actually, Mango TV thought about giving Zhang Yuanjun an issue of "Base Camp", his "Source Code" should be soon, and it should be no problem to do a period of publicity.

However, the schedule of "Base Camp" is very tight, and if you want to make an appointment for the last episode, at least half a year in advance, and "Base Camp" has a great right to speak in the station, and it is not that any department can say that the last episode can be on.

All the programs of "Base Camp" in the summer have been arranged, and there is no schedule for Zhang Yuanjun.

However, the producer of the program verbally promised that he would try his best to arrange an episode of the program for Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei.

…………

"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" was filmed until the end of June, and the whole film was already finished, and the crew was in a good atmosphere now.

If Zhang Yuanjun hadn't flown to the United States to shoot "Inception" next month, he really wanted to stay in Beijing to see how "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" completed all the post-production in 2 months.

This film is destined to be released in September to impact the National Day file, and there are so many materials in the whole film, even if it is cut while shooting, it is too difficult to complete the post-production in 2 months.

On the 24th, "Transformers 2" landed, with 33.7 million on the first day, more than 6 million more than the first-day record held by "Red Cliff Up".

This is a very scary number, and the theater managers at the forefront of the market have predicted that "Transformers 2" is very likely to end the 12-year box office domination of "Titanic" in China.

At this time, someone shouted: "Where are our domestic films!" ”

But on the Internet, more people watch domestic movies, and feel that domestic movies are too different from Hollywood productions.

"The special effects gap is 20 years, and the creative gap is 30 years."

"Hollywood is already filming alien planets, and domestic filmmakers are still filming rural areas."

Zhang Yuanjun, as an actor and a screenwriter, has something to say, and he was very angry when the crew had supper:

"The gap in special effects is really big, and I can't deny that. But what's wrong with the creativity? Is Transformers creative? It's not just two gangs fighting, but the two sides are replaced by alien robots, and looking at "Transformers" from a story point of view, he doesn't have a dazzling, standard Hollywood three-act drama at all.

"The story of North America's No. 1 IP "Star Wars" is also very bad, with a layer of alien skin, and it still tells the story of the American western cowboy.

"Black should also be black to the point, there is actually no creativity in commercial films all over the world, and most of the good ideas come from literary films. Without literary films ahead, the stories of commercial films would not develop so well. ”

Zhang Yuanjun talked a little too much, but in fact, none of the friends here wanted to listen to him talk about Chinese and American movies, and what they wanted to hear was his "Inception", which will be launched next month.

It was impossible for Zhang Yuanjun to tell them that he got the role because he invested in the movie, but said: "At that time, the director's wife came to China to attract investment, and many people knew that I had no money, but I still went to meet her and said that I wanted to act, please give me a chance." Then after going around for half a year, the United States ran for an unknown number of trips before it took down the role. ”

"Yifei is also recommended by me. …… The two of us are cheap, we are almost the cheapest actors in Hollywood except for the show, the Cannes actor is useless, and Hollywood commercial films don't recognize this, not to mention that I'm still Asian, and I can't get much of a high salary. ”

"There's a non-disclosure agreement, and I can't tell you the story." Zhang Yuanjun smiled and refused to reveal the story.

After chatting about the movie, it is natural to talk about his relationship with Liu Yifei.

"Why didn't Yifei come to visit the class, I still want to interview her."

"If you want to interview her, you can go back to the capital and ask her." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

"In the entertainment industry this year, you are the most exciting news, there is a kind."

"Don't be angry and call young people." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

In two months, there will be even more exciting news.

After a simple supper, the crowd dispersed.

The next day, Zhang Yuanjun received bad news during his lunch break.

"Love Has an Afterlife" did not meet the requirements of Feihong due to color difference in copy and printing, and returned to the factory!

The cost of additional copies is borne by Fei Hong.

What a deal!

Really involved, Zhang Yuanjun also felt impatient.

This film was originally scheduled for this year's summer file, but after this incident, I had to withdraw from the summer file, and the file is to be determined.

Yu Feihong called Zhang Yuanjun to apologize, it has been 2 years since "Love Has an Afterlife" was completed, and it has not been released normally, she feels very sorry for the actors.

Zhang Yuanjun can only say that it doesn't matter: "But I may not be able to come to the publicity, I am very nervous about the American drama." ”

The postponement of the release of "Love Has an Afterlife" will be postponed for a month or two, when he should have filmed "Inception" in the United States.

Yu Feihong couldn't accept Zhang Yuanjun's absence from publicity in his heart, he was the leading actor.

But the movie dragged on for 2 years before it was released, Yu Feihong owed it to the actors, and it was not easy to refuse Zhang Yuanjun at the moment, so he could only say: "It's okay, we'll see how to get it then." ”

"Okay, if there is anything to the teacher, you can contact me at any time."

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuanjun continued filming.
