"6.374 billion! The box office performance should be Yi Ge's highest box office performance!"
"I've played Wandering Earth three times, which can be considered a small contribution to the box office, hehe!"
"Holy crap! The total box office is more than 6 billion! This was achieved during the Spring Festival, surrounded by various blockbusters! If it were normal, the box office would definitely be higher. I guess 8 billion is not a problem!"
"Brother Chen Long's "Kung Fu Yoga" was originally the most anticipated movie during the Spring Festival, but in the end the box office was only 1.753 billion, less than 2 billion, ranking second. Although this result is considered good, it is not as good as Li Yi's
Compared with the first one, the gap is quite big, more than three times!"
"Hahaha! This shows that in this year's Spring Festival, other people's movies have been greatly affected by the addition of Brother Yi!"
"Brother Yi is still Brother Yi, and he is well-deserved to be called the elixir of box office!"
"I don't read much. I'm not as sweet-tongued as you, and I don't know how to praise people. Anyway, I only know that Wandering Earth Niubi and Yi Ge are students. I really like Yi Ge's movies and will always support him to the end! Manually funny."
"..."
Netizens went to Li Yi's Weibo to congratulate and cheer for him. Celebrities such as Huang Bo also posted on Weibo and
The WeChat group congratulated him, were happy for him, and asked him to treat everyone to dinner to celebrate.
While everyone was celebrating him happily, Li Yi was already busy preparing to shoot a new movie.
After he agreed to take on the movie "God of Gamblers", the contract was quickly sent.
Li Yi looked at the salary item written in the contract, which was 160 million. This salary was definitely not low. You must know that even Brother Chen Long's current salary is only more than 100 million, which may not be that high.
That's why some time ago, Lu Han's salary of 120 million yuan caused such a big sensation, triggered such a big controversy, and caused the dissatisfaction of so many people inside and outside the industry!
So much so that he was heavily criticized by CCTV News and even directly imposed a remuneration restriction order, which shocked the entire entertainment industry!
Nowadays, the salary for such small and fresh meat such as deer is only a few million, and no one cares about it, so everyone thinks it is too high.
After all, in addition to being some idiotic fans, and the company is particularly good at promoting them, their acting skills are not as good as many supporting actors. Many netizens even said that their cats and dogs are better at acting than they are, which shows how disgusted they are with them.
!
Especially Lu Han, who has a new title of box office poison, which echoes and sets off each other as Li Yi's title of box office elixir!
Therefore, the other party offered a salary of 160 million, which shows that they are very sincere about this cooperation!
However, Li Yi did not sign the contract immediately, but called Wang Jin, the director of "God of Gamblers".
When the call was connected, Wang Jin was very happy when he heard Li Yi's voice on the other side. He couldn't help but praise Li Yi. Then he came back to his senses and asked, "Xiao Yi, what do you want from me?"
The tone was cautious, for fear that Li Yi would regret it temporarily and not want to take on the drama!
"That's it, Director Wang, I want to talk to you about the remuneration." Li Yi said.
"Is it too low?" Wang Jin asked immediately, and then without waiting for Li Yi's answer, he gritted his teeth and increased the salary a little: "Let's do this, 200 million! Do you think it's okay?"
A salary of 200 million is definitely very high. If this news gets out, many actors may be jealous!
The reason why Wang Jin dares to pay so much for the film is basically all the confidence that comes from Li Yi's current super popularity and box office appeal!
He has even been prepared. If Li Yi is still too low, he will increase the number. Anyway, he must invite Li Yi, because with Li Yi here, the box office of this movie will be absolutely guaranteed!
The title of box office elixir is not just a nice word, but a golden brand that Li Yi has built up with one box office miracle after another!
"That's not what I meant. I just want to discuss with you whether I can get rid of the salary for this movie and get a share of the box office." Li Yi explained.
"Of course! That's great! I'll give you 20%! I'll have someone make a new contract and send it to you right now!" Upon hearing this, Wang Jin immediately agreed happily (habd)!
You know, the investment in the filming of this movie itself was not very large, and the budget was basically spent on Li Yi.
Now Li Yi doesn't want a salary, but only needs a share of the box office, saving 200 million in one fell swoop!
For him, no matter what the final box office results are, it is definitely a very good deal!
"Okay, then it's settled!" Li Yi smiled.
The box office revenue of a movie, after deducting various taxes and theater chain shares, is only about 30% in the end. Li Yi alone accounts for 20%, which is definitely high. For this
As a result, Li Yi was also very satisfied!
Not long after, the new contract was sent over. After confirming that it was correct, Li Yi signed his name and sent it to the other party.
At this point, Li Yi officially accepted the role of "God of Gamblers".
On the same day, Wang Jin announced the matter in a high-profile manner. Being able to invite Li Yi to be the star of his new movie was naturally something worthy of showing off and publicizing to him!
Li Yi's Weibo, because of this news, was immediately rushed by countless netizens to ask him whether the news was true. Li Yi then posted on Weibo to confirm the matter!
At the same time, the fact that Li Yi refused a 200 million yuan salary and chose to take 20% of the box office share was also deliberately released by Wang Jin to create a masterpiece!
Sure enough, the news that Li Yi had accepted a new drama, coupled with this revelation, immediately detonated the Internet and triggered a new round of heated discussions:
""God of Gamblers"? The name of this movie sounds weird. Is it a movie about gambling? I have never seen a movie with this theme before!"
"Two hundred million yuan in salary! In the whole country, only Yi Ge is qualified to receive such a high salary, so he won't be scolded by others! That's awesome!"
"What the heck! The most impressive thing is that Brother Yi would rather not have a salary of 200 million yuan, but choose to share the box office share. This is full of confidence in himself and the movie!"
"Brother Yi is such a confident person, otherwise he wouldn't have defied everyone's opinions and made The Wandering Earth under heavy pressure, becoming the first person in domestic science fiction movies! However, this subject has never been touched by anyone before, so there is no way to refer to it.
I don’t know what kind of movie it will be.”
"As an art fan, I am very happy to see Brother Yi constantly breaking through himself, because he can always bring me new surprises! However, I am still a little worried about Brother Yi!"
"It doesn't matter whether it is a new type or an old type! It doesn't matter what type it is. As long as it is shot by Brother Yi, I will support it with action as soon as possible!"
"Eating crabs again? I always touch on some strange themes, but I'm not afraid of getting stuck! Being overconfident is arrogant. I think Li Yi will die from this sooner or later!"
"..."
While the Internet is still hotly discussing this, Li Yi has already packed up and said goodbye to Dilmurat Dilmurat, and secretly went to Hong Kong Island with his agent Zhang Manfen again to prepare for the filming of "God of Gamblers"!!!
After Li Yi arrived on Hong Kong Island, he was immediately picked up by Wang Jin, who had been waiting for a long time. He seemed particularly enthusiastic along the way, saying that he was taking Li Yi to dinner first, as a way to cleanse him from the wind and dust.
Li Yi took Zhang Manfen and followed Wang Jin to a magnificent hotel, and then entered a private room.
"Hahahaha! Xiaoyi, we meet again!"
Li Yi stepped into the box, and immediately heard a hearty laugh. He saw a familiar figure standing up on the sofa and walking towards Li Yi, with a friendly smile on his face!
"Uncle Da!" Li Yi smiled, the other person was Wu Mengda, who had just finished working together.
Xian Mengda had already extended his hand, and Li Yi shook his hand. Uncle Da put his arm around his shoulders familiarly, and they walked to the sofa together.
After the introduction, Li Yicai learned that Wu Mengda's role in the movie this time was not many, it was purely a guest appearance to save face.
Several people who were originally sitting on the sofa also stood up and greeted Li Yi.
Li Yi is very popular in the entertainment industry now. There is no one he does not know in the industry, so there is no need to introduce him.
The first few actors who arrived were all the main supporting actors in this scene, with varying reputations. Although Li Yi met them for the first time, he still had some impressions.
"Brother Yi! I'm a long-time fan of yours. I've watched all your movies! You're also my idol. You must sign your autograph for me later!" An actress came up and gave it to Li Yi enthusiastically.
He gave me a hug and said with a smile.
This actress is called Zhang Min, because the Mongolian princess Zhao Min played in a movie called The Legend of the Dragon Slayer: The Leader of the Demon Cult left a deep impression on Li Yi, especially the look back at the end of the movie.
Unforgettable!
"Okay!" Li Yi smiled and did not forget to praise: "Your name is Zhang Min, right? Your performance in Demon Cult Leader was very good. I still can't forget your last look back!"
"Really!" Zhang Min didn't expect that Li Yi not only knew her name, but also praised her in public. Seeing Li Yi nodded, she was even more happy and extremely happy. If it weren't for her image and the presence of everyone,
Seeing how happy she looks makes me want to jump up and down!
"Hello, Brother Yi, I am also your fan and fan!" Another actress also stepped forward, stretched out her hand to shake hands with Li Yi, looking a little nervous and shy: "I...I also want a picture of you.
sign!"
When Li Yi saw the other party for the first time, he immediately felt like his eyes were brightening!
The entertainment industry is a place for handsome men and beautiful women. Since her debut, Li Yi has seen too many beauties, but there are very few who are as natural and unique as this actress, who can make him have an unforgettable feeling after just one look.
It can be said to be beautiful to the core!
Everyone present greeted Li Yi and seemed very enthusiastic towards Li Yi.
Soon, dishes were served one after another. Li Yi and others sat down at the dining table and chatted while eating.
After three rounds of drinks and five delicious dishes, Li Yi casually asked Director Wang Jin on the side: When will he arrive at the set tomorrow? Director Wang Jin, who was smiling just now, immediately looked embarrassed.
"It'll take a few days. There's no way to start filming yet. Xiaoyi, you can play on Hong Kong Island for now. I'll let you know then." Director Wang Jin said vaguely.
"What's the problem?" Li Yi frowned. That's not what Director Wang Jin said on the phone before. If he hadn't said that everything was done here, he wouldn't have come over. But in the end, everything happened, but
It has become like this!
Director Wang Jin looked apologetic. Seeing that Li Yi was not very happy, he quickly explained to him.
It turns out that Chen Xiaodao has a very important color scheme in the movie. It took a long time to choose the right actor for this role, but I didn’t expect that the actor knew that he was going to work with Li Yi. I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep last night and ran to climb Taiping.
I was preparing to watch the sunrise, but accidentally broke my leg!
After a hundred days of broken muscles and bones, the actor will definitely not recover in a short time, so he can only replace him temporarily. Naturally, it will have to be delayed for a while before filming can start. Director Wang Jin is also worried about this matter and does not know who to cast.
Chen Xiaodao is a great character!
"I thought it was such a big deal! It's okay. I'll introduce you to an actor. He's guaranteed to be qualified for this role!" After hearing this, Li Yi smiled nonchalantly.
Director Wang Jin was naturally very happy, but when he heard the name of the actor mentioned by Li Yi, he instantly fainted again!
Because the actor Li Yi was talking about was none other than Andy Lau!
"Not satisfied?" Seeing Director Wang Jin's reaction, Li Yi asked immediately.
With Andy's current status in the industry, he has always been the leading actor in movies and is also very picky about scripts. In this new type, he is also a supporting actor. Director Wang Jin immediately said that he was not dissatisfied, but knew that Andy
He will definitely refuse and let Li Yi introduce other candidates!
The reason why he was so sure was because after initially sending the script to Li Yi, Wang Jin felt that Li Yi would definitely reject it, so he also sent a copy to Hua Tsai, which was a two-pronged preparation.
Andy quickly rejected it. The reason was naturally that he didn't want to take risks in making such a new type of movie that no one had ever made before. If it failed, it would have an impact on Liu Tianwang's reputation!
"Let me call and ask first! I think Brother Hua will agree!" Li Yi smiled, took out his mobile phone, dialed Hua Tsai's number, and turned on the speakerphone.
Wang Jin curled his lips and didn't say anything. If Li Yi wanted to fight, let's fight him. Anyway, he was sure that Hua Zai would refuse. If Li Yi refused to listen and insisted on hitting a wall, there was nothing he could do!
When Andy was asked to be the protagonist, he didn't agree. Now that he is asked to play a supporting role, how could he agree?
Everyone else also knew that Hua Tsai rejected the starring role in this script, so they were all mentally prepared for Li Yi to be rejected.
But what they didn't expect was that after the call was connected, Li Yi explained it straight to the point. Andy didn't politely refuse as everyone thought, but agreed without much hesitation.
And he sounded very happy!
After Li Yi chatted with him for a few more words, he hung up the phone!
Director Wang Jin looked at Li Yi with excitement. He didn't expect that Li Yi would really invite Hua Zai. In that case, his movie would have two movie stars participating, and it would suddenly become more interesting.
The box office impact will definitely be very beneficial!
Wang Jin toasted Li Yi with a few glasses of wine and said a lot of thanks. The other actors were also very happy and praised Li Yi for being so popular. Even Hua Zai betrayed him and hired Wang Jin for him without any effort.
Such a big celebrity is here!
After giving Andy two days to familiarize himself with the script, on the morning of the third day, the filming of "God of Gamblers" officially started!!
