There are not many actors in China who can truly be called international superstars. They are basically actors who used kung fu movies to open up overseas markets in the early years.
Bruce Leung is considered a first-class Chinese superstar who can truly go down in history and leave a bright mark in the history of world cinema.
In the minds of the public, under the general recognition of Bruce Liang, Fang Long is the most influential one.
In the early years, Fang Lung was considered to be Bruce Leung's successor, but after several films he made, he couldn't produce the effect of Bruce Leung's punches and fists. After causing a sensation, he began to explore another way of kung fu comedy.
The group below Fang Long are the kung fu superstars who have emerged in recent years, such as Huo Yuanjie, such as Donnie Yen...
Shen Changwei did not intend to use the above actors to star in the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". After he read the script several times, the concept that arose in his mind was that the movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" should be a It is a beautiful literary film. The fights must be elegant, the actors must be handsome, and when wearing a long gown, they should have some Eastern elegance and the elegance of Western orthodox aesthetics...
Obviously, Fang Lung pays too much attention to action comedy, and his image is a bit uninteresting. Huo Yuanjie has a good image, but his temperament is slightly poor. Donnie Yen is too dark, and his acting skills in all aspects are not in line with that. These people are supporting the actors. Yes, but playing the leading role is really uninteresting in some aspects.
So after thinking about it, he set his sights on Chow Yoon-chi, another veteran international star who is one of the few who has opened up the European and American markets with literary films.
In the earlier years, during the most glorious era of Hong Kong movies, Chow Yun-chi created the grand spectacle of the Fang-Chow controversy. Among the box office rankings of movies released in the 1980s, the two of them occupied seven of the top ten places, and almost dominated Hong Kong. The movie lasted for several years. Later, in the 1990s, when Hong Kong movies gradually declined, they went to Hollywood to shoot. Although the box office response was mediocre and most of them featured villains, their status in the hearts of this group of domestic filmmakers has increased, especially After the turn of the millennium, "The Time Machine", a movie that dominated China's box office history for several years, was released. Chow Yun-chi's net worth in the Chinese film industry almost doubled!
In the movie "The Time Machine", Chow Yun-chi still plays the villain, but he has a lot of roles, and he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. He is almost a landmark actor in the Chinese film industry...
"The remuneration is too exaggerated. The friendship price is 100 million yuan. With 100 million yuan, half of the movie can be made. Damn it, how dare he shout out such a price? Do you really think I am being taken advantage of?"
In the screening room.
Shen Changwei tried his best to suppress his anger and whispered this sentence. After finishing speaking, he still felt a sense of resentment in his heart.
In Zhou Yang's impression, Shen Changwei was always very calm, and it was rare to see Shen Changwei lose his composure like this.
"100 million salary?"
Zhou Yang was also shocked when he heard this.
If it were the original world and the era when the entire industry exploded, a salary of 100 million would be staggering, but it would not be surprising.
But the era of the industry's explosion has not yet begun, and the 2008 Olympics have not even started yet. The salary of 100 million is too outrageous.
"After spending these years in Hollywood, he has grown a lot. He has begun to look down on Chinese movies. How good is it to make money from foreigners?"
Shen Changwei was obviously wronged by Zhou Runzhi's call. He felt extremely depressed. He looked at the big screen and finally closed his eyes without saying a word after saying this.
After this state lasted for a long time, he regained his composure: "Forget it, Zhou Runzhi won't consider it anymore..."
"Have you considered other actors?"
"I can't find it at the moment... How about you come and act?" Shen Changwei looked at Zhou Yang up and down as if he had thought of something, his frown slightly relaxed, and his expression became extremely serious.
"Forget it, I've been too busy recently. I have to shoot the movie "Spider-Man" first..."
"Yes, you will be under a lot of pressure in the second half of the year." Shen Changwei looked away. Although he was a little disappointed, it was hard to say anything.
The pressure on Zhou Yang was much heavier than him.
…………………………
"There are many Hollywood movies in the second half of the year, and the superhero movie "Lizard Man" has a very high rating..."
"I'm afraid three billion is still difficult. This is not to belittle oneself. The box office is 900 million in three months, and it is preyed on by Hollywood movies. This kind of pressure is not small..."
"The entertainment industry in the future will be an era of vigorous development, but the content must be carefully controlled, striving to move the film industry to a high-end, deepen it, and improve the quality of all aspects at the ideological level. The movie "Jaws" does not have educational significance. , or we should try to minimize the review of such imported movies, which will cause adverse effects..."
"Positive movies will always be popular. Look, how good everyone's life is now. Movies should not always show us suffering and hatred, and expose some non-existent nihilism..."
"Our Chinese economy is booming in all aspects. Isn't it a joke for foreigners to shoot these things? It is even more unreasonable and will damage China's image overseas..."
"..."
An Xiao did not go to the premiere of "Sniper Phone Booth".
She has a meeting with relevant departments.
The content of the meeting was naturally cliche, talking about box office and the future entertainment industry. At the main point of the meeting, Xu Kangnian talked about positive energy and the main theme.
When An Xiao began to submit the script review for "I'm Not the God of Medicine," Xu Kangnian did not directly approve it, nor did he deny it. He only metaphorically expressed bitterness and deep hatred, exposing the so-called non-existent nihilism.
An Xiao listened silently below, but the expression on her face became colder as she listened.
"Xu Chu, you have said both right and wrong. Aren't you having double standards? Hollywood movies that are represented by companies such as Xinghui can pass the review even if they contain other things. However, films produced by Zhou Yang's Huaxing Company can still pass the review. Movies are nihilism and bad influence?"
The meeting went relatively smoothly at first.
However, after halfway through, An Xiao finally couldn't listen anymore.
She stood up, looked at Xu Kangnian coldly in front of everyone, and said something.
Some of the surrounding leaders at the meeting looked at Xu Kangnian and An Xiao cautiously, not knowing how to express their opinions for a while. Most of these people were seeking stability. They had just changed their term, and no one wanted to give a big blow to the general public during this special period. Direction has too many effects.
Next year is the year of the Olympic Games. The Chinese people have been looking forward to it for many years. It took many years to apply for the Olympic Games and take the opportunity to showcase China's comprehensive national strength!
Who would want to cause trouble to relevant departments at this critical moment?
"An Xiao, you misunderstood, that's not what I meant..." Xu Kangnian's face was a little stiff. He had never been rebutted and interrupted in public before, but he didn't say anything more, just waved his hand.
His gentle smile returned.
"Maybe I have misunderstood, maybe these are not my original intentions, but, forget it, I won't open it now... you can open it."
An Xiao glanced at everyone, and finally focused on Xu Kangnian. Finally, she picked up the pen and paper, turned around and left the conference room, and closed the door.
There was silence in the conference room for a while, and then Xu Kangnian laughed again: "Girls, there are always a few days a month where you have a temper. I understand that. After the meeting, I will do some ideological work with her and discuss ideological issues with her."
But the big problem is that this cannot be biased. We must follow DANG, follow the policies from above, and unswervingly adhere to the direction of the leadership..."
After Xu Kangnian said this, he continued the meeting in the conference room, as if he was not affected by An Xiao at all.
About an hour later, when the meeting ended and the meeting participants left one after another, Xu Kangnian returned to the office. At first, his face was full of smiles, but after closing the door, the smile gradually disappeared.
After sorting out his emotions for a while, and just as he was about to have a good chat with An Xiao, his phone rang.
"Xu Chu, I am Cao Bangguo, Lao Cao..."
"Oh, hello, Director Cao, what's the matter?"
"I would like to see the detailed script of Huaxing's registration. Is it convenient?"
"Hua Xing's scripts for filing? It's convenient, but Hua Xing's scripts are all with An Xiao. If you want to read them, you may have to contact her..."
"Ah? Aren't you the person in charge of the movie? Shouldn't the final review and finalization of these scripts be in your hands?"
"..."
Cao Bangguo on the other end of the phone said a few words.
Xu Kangnian listened with a smile and humility, but his face began to become colder and colder, especially when he heard Cao Bangguo lower his voice: "Xu Chu, have you been ignored by An Xiao?"
Empty?
When he heard these two words, Xu Kangnian narrowed his eyes instantly.
"Haha, the motivating method doesn't work for me. I get along well with every department member, and we get along well at work. There are no differences in philosophy. I just want to make this industry better."
"That...no, that's not what you said before, Xu Chu!"
"Go and talk to An Xiao. She is responsible for your communication..."
"Okay, let's come over in person."
"Well, by the way, what do you think of the movie "Sniper Phone Booth"?"
"It might be hot!"
"oh?"
After Xu Kangnian had a general understanding of the premiere of "Sniper Phone Booth", he unconsciously squinted his eyes.
Naturally, there was shock in his eyes, but then he closed his eyes again, as if he was deep in thought.
………………………
In the screening room.
"Sniper Phone Booth" has reached its end.
Fans in the screening room speculated on many behind-the-scenes murderers...
After seeing the delivery boy committing suicide and being discovered, some people who guessed it were filled with various feelings of superiority.
However……
The reversal of the ending stunned these "detectives" instantly!
I will try my best to update three times today and make up for the content that was not updated yesterday.
