The performance was very effective, and the media became a sensation at the time. It was like feeling dizzy from too much blood pouring into the forehead. A forest-like microphone was stretched out, and a large group of people were crowded at the front desk of the narrow interview area, and it was difficult to use it.
They held up the microphone and showed the newspaper logo. They asked the leading actor to give more information.
The reporter who was called was pushed to the bottom and asked stammeringly: "Is Fang Yi going to switch to kung fu movies? Yes, yes... is he going to take over the class left by his eldest brother?"
"Hahahaha~"
The reporter also waved the microphone and made some mantis fist gestures.
Of course it's impossible.
Every once in a while these days, new people say that they will take over Big Brother Cheng's footsteps and become a new generation of kung fu superstars... Fang Yi believes that the era of kung fu movies has obviously passed, but this does not prevent him from cooperating with Big Brother Cheng's hype.
He did not answer directly, but said: "No matter what movie you make next, you will need a certain martial arts foundation. The tricks developed by Hong Kong and Hong Kong martial arts are still very advanced to this day... In fact, it is like a big-budget Hollywood movie.
Many of them refer to martial arts from Hong Kong and Hong Kong. I believe that the concept of kung fu is definitely not limited to kung fu movies."
The eldest brother Cheng would not answer directly: "If Fang Yi is willing, I am willing to give him this title - he is definitely the next generation of kung fu superstar that I am most satisfied with. He is so handsome and has a good image.
He's tall." When he said this, the eldest brother Cheng, who was about ten centimeters shorter than Fang Yi, squatted down and exaggeratedly said that he was shorter than Fang Yi, like a dwarf, which immediately made everyone laugh.
He went on to say, "Fang Yi's movements and reactions are very fast. His ability to drive a racing car is almost like that of a novice. My classmate told me that he learns things incredibly quickly. Now he can fight several people at once, and no one else can get close to him."
His body... wow! He is completely qualified. Not only is he a kung fu superstar? I know he is opening his own special effects company and studying special effects. He is so awesome! He is the next all-around superstar, the superstar of the next era!"
The eldest brother Cheng touched Fang Yi with his elbow.
Another reporter asked: "How much is Fang Yi's salary in "Zodiac"? Can you please disclose it?"
The eldest brother Cheng was about to answer, but Yang Shoucheng stopped him from behind, took a step forward and said: "Fang Sheng and Jackie are both my favorite filmmakers, and I will never treat them badly...Jackie wears many hats, including martial arts instructor, assistant
Director, life coach, supervisor, producer... there are twenty-three positions in total. It's so hard for him. He has to worry about so many things. He can apply for Guinness World Records... so Jackie gets 2%.
A profit share of 10%, I think there is no problem at all..."
After a pause, he said: "Then there is Fang Sheng. In fact, we gave him two choices at that time. One was a salary of 100 million yuan..."
Before he finished speaking, there was a burst of exclamation below. Although I knew that Fang Yi’s market price had reached this level, it was still surprising that a Hong Kong film actually offered him this price: it was almost the same as Jet Li, and
It is also the highest price in the history of Land Star, and may be several times higher than the second place.
"However," Yang said, "Fang Sheng did not have the option to accept the salary. Instead, like Jet Li, he brought his own production team to join our movie, so he shares the same box office share as Jackie...
He really has confidence in our movie. Jackie was very moved when he found out about it, and took the initiative to tell me that he wanted to take care of this young man... I think Fang Yi and Jackie are the only two generations in Asia that really have box office appeal.
Superstars who are powerful should be given equal treatment. After discussing with Jackie in the end, he agreed with my opinion. Therefore, Fang Yi and Jackie both received 18% of the revenue share in the end. They are equal."
Eighteen revenue shares, and this revenue is the result of sharing between theaters and producers.
If calculated based on 100 million yuan, and the box office and producers are divided according to 50-50, this means that the movie box office must eventually get at least 1.1 billion yuan worldwide, so that the actors can make the decision to share the profit without losing money.
In fact, "Zodiac" jointly invested by Emperor Entertainment and China Film Group can only barely maintain a 50-50 opening with theaters in Hong Kong and mainland China. In the Southeast Asian market, Japan and South Korea, the final revenue will hardly even reach a quarter of the box office.
one.
So, this means that the estimated box office of the film "Zodiac" needs to be 200 million US dollars or more. This is a number that almost guarantees the annual box office championship in advance.
Many seasoned reporters made a mental calculation and immediately realized:
Here comes the real big news!
Really, it’s so weird that it has a news effect!
After success, it means that Big Brother's appeal has not diminished and he can fight again. If he fails, it means that Big Brother has become a real person. Fang Yi's evaluation is the same.
Moreover, it is a combination of teams from both sides, a top-notch combination between mainland China and Hong Kong:
However, countless experiences in history have told us that literary and artistic creation is not about addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Those seemingly powerful alliances often end up producing a shocking masterpiece!
No wonder they have to go to the Golden Horse Awards to build momentum. The box office pressure of this film is not small!
Finally someone asked Big Brother Cheng:
"Brother Long, how did you get so big this time? Are you worried that you won't be able to get your money back?"
Of course the eldest brother Cheng showed confidence in front of the media. He pointed at Fang Yi:
"He is my most admired mainland filmmaker, and "Twelve Zodiac Signs" is also my last big action movie... You must send out my words verbatim, without Spring and Autumn style, I hope the audience can see it
The voice of my heart supports me."
——The words of Big Brother Cheng are of course useless and useless. Two hours later, the local news report has changed: "Fang Yi is the successor of Big Brother Cheng, and the new film is the swan song of Big Brother Cheng."
"Big Brother Cheng's last movie, a work of retirement."
"The next generation of Kung Fu superstars has been born, and Fang Yi has been recognized by Big Brother."
Some also discovered other angles:
"Eldest brother Cheng regards Fang Yi as his old friend, so what is the relationship between eldest brother Cheng's godson Xie Bi Wang and Fang Yi... At the Emperor's Night, the reporter specially interviewed Xie Bi Wang. He was embarrassed and said that everyone had different opinions. The reporter asked Xie Bi Wang again
Is this disrespectful to my godfather and the newly promoted Uncle Fang... But King Xie Bi was furious and claimed that he did not want to hear such remarks again."
The extremely topical hype made many entertainment reporters fly to Baodao overnight, and they were bound to ask for more information. At the same time, local media stayed at the Hsinchu Sheraton Hotel. These people have strong hands-on skills and lower limits. They
I hope I can take the initiative to create some news.
This is very simple. Zhou Jielun has suffered this kind of loss many times. How did they do it?
Aren't you good-tempered? Aren't you low-key? You have to go out. Once you go out, I will be like a parasite and be inseparable from you. I will keep photographing you with flashlights and annoy you like chanting sutras. Because as a public figure, you have
Obligation to accept interviews - until you are angered, yell at the paparazzi or even get into a fight.
The reporter lay down on the ground with a happy smile on his face: Big news is here.
On the night of the 25th, there was news that Fang Yi was visiting the night market in Hsinchu, and even took a few friends to eat and laugh together - this is in line with Fang Yi's low-key nature, and the probability of him appearing at a street stall is much greater than that of Michelin.
