"Our domestic action movies will always have a huge market, and we have always had a tradition of action superstars. It's a pity that after the previous generation of action superstars aged out, there has been no successor until now, although there are some candidates, and there are several
The performance is very good, but compared with the heyday of action movies, it still feels a little lacking."
He Xingshun was obviously inspired by this: "Furthermore, the films that can be exported to the outside world in our country are the easiest to open up the market and make money, and they are really action films. After action films entered a trough, we also fell silent in this aspect.
Those who cheat and deceive under the guise of cultural export do not count.”
He Xingshun is also very sincere: "After seeing your live broadcast today, I found great potential in you, and our company is willing to vigorously train you..."
Zuo Peng quickly stopped and said, "Me? Be a star?"
The time he was possessed by the old man was still short, and he had not yet reached the point where he was confident that he was invincible and everything he planned could be accomplished. He pointed at his face: "Mr. He, do you think I can become a star like this? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
The reason why Song Zheng chose Zuo Peng was because this guy was a typical ordinary person, with ordinary height, ordinary appearance, ordinary ability, and ordinary family background.
Akar's admiration for his master has reached the point where he does not distinguish between right and wrong, beauty and ugliness: "Master, don't belittle yourself. I think a man like you is the most handsome, with the beauty of an ancient Greek sculpture!"
He Xingshun laughed, thinking that this kid's rainbow fart skills would make him an assistant to a celebrity.
"It's like this. Your appearance cannot be regarded as handsome in the ordinary sense, but that doesn't matter. For an action star, being too handsome is not an advantage. On the contrary, it is easy to give the audience the first impression: He must be so handsome.
can not fight."
Zuo Peng thought for a while, it was obviously very illogical that this was really the case, but it was indeed the feeling.
He had also watched some popular dramas on a certain peninsula with Wu Wen before, and there was always a handsome and capable academic master, second generation, etc., who looked fake at first sight.
"Your appearance is completely enough for an action star. And we also have makeup, so please don't worry about this."
After He Xingshun comforted him, he said: "I have prepared a preliminary agreement. You can take a look at the treatment first."
When the secretary brought the coffee in, he also brought in a folder. He Xingshun handed it over, and Zuo Peng took it and looked at it slowly, looking very careful.
In fact, he didn't know what many of the terms in it were, but he turned to the back and saw the benefits: the contract was signed for ten years, and the contract advance payment was five million.
Zuo Peng was stunned for a moment and asked in his heart: "Sir, is this your wish to help me realize?"
Song Zheng said calmly: "Otherwise, do you think that the boss of a large film and television production company will give you such a contract because his brain was smashed by a meteor? You can ask this He Xingshun for contracts with other new actors to see how harsh the treatment is.
.”
Zuo Peng quickly explained: "I don't mean anything else, it's just... Sir, I really can't do this. How can such an ordinary person like me become a star that is sought after by thousands of people? Don't rush to the shelves.
Is there any other simpler way to fulfill this wish?"
"Yes." Song Zheng said, "I can tell you the Shuangseqiu lottery numbers, help you set up a stock or futures account, or give you an inexplicable inheritance from abroad."
Zuo Peng was overjoyed: "All of these are fine."
Song Zheng said, "That's too boring, so I won't do it."
Zuo Peng: "..."
He suddenly realized that he might not be a "child of destiny" who was "chosen by God"; rather, he was a "toy" chosen by Mr. Song?
Zuo Peng felt a sense of absurdity and humiliation, and then... quickly decided to continue being a toy.
He Xingshun waited until he had finished reading, and then said: "This is really the most generous contract for newcomers in Jinhai's history. It has never been offered before in the entire industry."
Zuo Peng nodded quickly: "I'm very satisfied, thank you Mr. He for taking it seriously."
Seeing that he finally wanted to agree, He Xingshun secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Although Song Zheng played a role in this, He Xingshun was indeed very optimistic about Zuo Peng.
"But for now, I think you should still focus on live broadcasts. For example, today's one is very good. You are not famous yet. I will order the company's publicity department to fully cooperate with you. You continue to challenge us and we will strive for it."
Within half a year, make your name known in the fighting circle; within one year, you will be influential and out of the circle, and then you can proceed to the second step. Our production department will tailor-make an action movie for you!"
In this regard, both Zuo Peng and Akar are extremely amateurs, and He Xingshun is very professional. The rest of the negotiation will basically be with He Xingshun. Akar can occasionally interrupt, but Zuo Peng is completely indifferent.
It’s rice.
Anyway, with Lord Song here, he doesn't have to worry about anything.
Three days later, Zuo Peng officially signed a contract with Jinhai Film and Television. Five million, after tax was deducted, was credited to Zuo Peng's account on the fourth day.
During this period, Akar made a suggestion, asking Jin Hai to arrange for Zuo Peng to participate in the UFC. The reason was that if he could win a championship title, it would eliminate many disputes about domestic action superstars coming from routines and having mediocre actual combat abilities.
But after He Xingshun thought about it, he decided that if he wanted to participate in the UFC, he would have to do so after Zuo Peng's first movie was released, or even after Zuo Peng had become a superstar.
He expressed his professional views:
First of all, celebrities should not be afraid of controversy. Controversies are the only topics that are topical. They operate secretly and stir things up, but they gain popularity and exposure.
Secondly, it is actually very difficult to transform from a fighting star to an action star. For example, it took Shi Shi from abroad more than ten years to achieve this step.
And it is not easy to join UFC, you need to fight all the way.
But if an action star wants to participate in a UFC competition, it will be much easier, the operation will be less difficult, and the effect will be better.
Although Akar has a dream of free fighting, he has to admit that He Xingshun's arrangement is the right one.
Next, Akar geared up: "Mr. He, who should we challenge next? It seems that I made a mistake before. Shang Hao is not the number one person in Haicheng. So please tell the real number one master in Haicheng that my master and I will challenge the live broadcast!"
"
He Xingshun laughed loudly: "You are not wrong. Shang Hao's apprentice also does live broadcasts to help promote Shang Hao's martial arts gym, and the live broadcast effect is good. What we need now is publicity effect, and the opponent we are looking for is exactly Shang Hao.
People who are famous but don’t actually have much strength don’t really need to challenge any real masters.”
Akar touched his head: I am indeed the little genius next to Master, I am born correct!
