I really can't act

Chapter 314 Two Generations of Box Office Kings

The movie is "Zodiac".

A commercial film whose plot is not worth mentioning.

The screenwriter and tentative director are both big brother Cheng, similar to the film "Mythology", also produced by Yinghuang, and also cooperating with director Tang Jili.

Frankly speaking, the pure plot of a commercial film is difficult to write interestingly in a novel. The selling points of this type of film are sharp editing, hearty scenes, and a dense rhythm without leaving any gaps.

The story itself is relatively weak.

So what is the standard of Big Brother Cheng's story?
If it was ten years ago, 20 years ago, it would be world-class; but now, it can only be called first-class or second-rate in Asia, and it is still degrading rapidly. He is no longer able to grasp the direction of the market.

Big brother Cheng's box office appeal is not bad, and people all over the world buy him.

After "The King of Kung Fu" hit the market in 08, the market thought that Da Gecheng was out of breath. This year, Da Gecheng's absolutely bad movie "Kung Fu Dream" was released, telling the story of Heiwa learning Kung Fu and beating East Asians to become a proctor. It was terrible in the mainland, but it got a good box office in the beautiful country.

The producers, Columbia Pictures and China Film, were overjoyed and "received an astonishing first-week box office."

Yang Shoucheng said: "Fang Yi, for this film we are looking for a star who has real appeal in Asia and is worthy of Jackie. We used to look for it in Korea and Japan, but now..." His eyes fell on Fang Yi , "You are the most suitable."

The elder brother couldn't help but nodded, "I won't treat you badly for the salary. I can afford 3000 million to 4000 million. It's a small thing. Now it depends on whether you have a schedule."

Fang Yi: "When will we shoot?"

The eldest brother Cheng grinned: "I guess it will be after July or August next year. We have a lot of places to shoot, so we have to prepare very early in advance."

Fang Yi thought about the arrangements for next year in his heart.Because he has a film of his own to shoot first, and a series of endorsements tied to him also require him to travel around the world, so time is very tight.

"There may not be a schedule."

Yang Shoucheng and his eldest brother looked at each other, thinking that he was bargaining.Yang Shoucheng said, "As for the remuneration, if you feel dissatisfied, we can discuss it again... Jackie often said that the amount of remuneration depends on how much you can contribute. As long as you are really useful, [-] million is not unaffordable." ——We are not people who are reluctant to share, do you know how much Jackie's salary is?"

Fang Yi waited for his answer.

He made a circle with his fingers, "Zero. Jackie's salary is 0. He's the same as you were in the "Love Letter" movie, and he gets paid exactly according to box office performance."

The eldest brother Cheng swallowed impatiently, "Do you want to share? I can give you a share. But you can't get paid in advance. You can only choose one of the two."

Fang Yi thinks this project can be done or not. "Love Letter" estimated that the account in his hand was close to 4000 million, and it might rise further.Now [-] million can no longer arouse his interest.

In addition, eldest brother Cheng has a relatively strong desire to control, to what extent?

When the family class goes to the toilet, if the cleaning and sanitation are not done properly, and which boards are not glued properly, he will come to direct.Big brother Cheng can control his crotch now, so he can vent his energy in other places.

Fang Yi has the scroll on the outside and the sword inside.It is very likely that he and his eldest brother Cheng had a falling out, and everyone was unhappy.

However, the seasoned Yang Shoucheng gave him a heart-warming statement, ""Zodiac" will be filmed next year and will be released the year after. We expect the filming time to be short, four to five months, and the rest of the time will be used for special effects. "

He also said, "Even in the past four or five months, if you have something to do, you can ask for leave to do your job--we don't pay attention to making plays in Hong Kong, because everyone is making plays. In the morning on this crew, in the afternoon On another set."

"Fang Yi," Yang Shoucheng said in a deep voice, "How old are you in 12? Shouldn't it be time for you to transform? Your first transformation film has Jackie as a guarantee for you. Isn't it better than you tossing around yourself? "The Twelve Zodiac "It is expected to be the first domestic film to be screened in IMAX3D and 3D theaters in China. It will have a lot of special effects, and even the sound will be full of Dolby Movie Sound—don’t you want to see the effect?"

The eldest brother Cheng observed Fang Yi's expression, and quickly echoed, "Yes, yes. These technologies are all used for the first time. Fang Yi, you will be a director in the future and make blockbuster movies. You can also learn the basics from us first. .In order to avoid the day in the future...you start researching from scratch, and then every penny will be your own, but you will use it for unnecessary trial and error."

By this time, Fang Yi was already moved.

But he has to make sure of one thing, "What should I do if there are different opinions on the set? I'm not saying which one to challenge, but on some specific clips, I may have different ideas."

Of course the eldest brother Cheng was unwilling to let him go, "It depends on me."

What a bucket of cold water.

Where in the world is there such a good thing?Use other people's money to gain experience.

Yang Shoucheng watched Fang Yi become indifferent again, knowing that something was wrong.He tried his best to smooth things over between Fang Yi and his elder brother Cheng, saying, "Talk, you can talk about anything."

It's a pity that the chat after that was rather dull.In Big Brother Cheng's movie, the core character is Big Brother Cheng. If he can't make a turn in his heart, it's useless for Fang Yi to talk to anyone.

Several people maintained a superficial friendship and left.

The next day was Fang Yi's last day in Hong Kong.He gave a speech at the Chinese University of Hong Kong in the morning, entitled "We are all the same".

This speech is required above. "The story that happened in the northernmost big city in the mainland has achieved good results here in the southernmost big city, which shows that we all have a fistful heart, and the deep love is rooted in our chest, which is the same flowing red blood. ..."

In the afternoon, I will show up at my fan meeting and sign autographs.

I re-read the manuscript of the speech I gave this morning.

The scene was surprisingly good, which made Fang Yi doubt whether he is now promoting the core of the earth, saying that his fans will still support him without thinking.

In order to ease the relationship, Yang Shoucheng also persuaded him to change his mind and organized the artist twins in the company to take Fang Yi to a nightclub in Hong Kong to be chic.The eldest brother Cheng's son also came, and these "young people" were many years older than Fang Yi.

Here, Fang Yi met the young model who had talked to him last time.Yang Ying.

Yang Ying's position in Yinghuang seems to be quite sad. She introduced herself and said "I know director Fang Yi", and got Fang Yi's nod, so everyone let her play with her.

She thanked Fang Yi, "Thank you for remembering me."

Fang Yi said, "Have you signed with Ying Huang yet?"

"Yes. Yinghuang is the dream company for Hong Kong girls to become stars."

Fang Yi thought of Liu Mi whom he had met before, and he said with emotion, "Have you ever thought that what you strive for is not as precious as you think it is?"

Yang Ying laughed and said, "I only signed for two years."

Prince Fang and the pair of twins had a difficult life as a father, and they were staring at what Fang Yi would say from the beginning.

He truthfully sent these to Father Long and Godfather Yang.

——Brother Cheng suddenly realized: "I heard that Fang Yi also rejected "The Great Master", even if the King of Sunglasses waited so hard for him, he didn't reply a message. Only the King of Sunglasses has ever tossed others, and this is the first time someone tosses with sunglasses king."

He tentatively asked, "Does Fang Yi not like our Hong Kong circle very much, no matter who comes, he will refuse."

Yang Shoucheng didn't want to believe it, "It shouldn't be that simple. He is a director, and he has considered things from the director's point of view. He must speak up for the films he participates in, which is also understandable."

Big Brother Cheng was a little aggrieved, "I haven't gotten so angry yet."

Yang Shoucheng persuaded him: "The larger the production scale of "Zodiac", the more people who can handle the box office must participate. You two are the best match I want. Jackie, why don't you give in and discuss it? You haven’t proven yourself in Asia for a long time. If you don’t have a blockbuster movie, you’re really dead.”

Yang Shoucheng carefully prepared two newspapers.They are Big Brother Cheng. In 1985, "Police Story" was very popular in Japan. The local audience rang up the TV station's phone calls, asking them to invite Big Brother Cheng to be on the show and to see the news about Big Brother Cheng being a real person.

The other is the news that Fang Yi was officially designated as the head of the Chinese Legion when he went to Japan this time because of his popularity.

Yang Shoucheng waited for his eldest brother Cheng to finish the scan, and said with emotion, "You are two generations of box office kings."

　The film is invested by Huayi.This time and space is not available, and the default is China Film.Because Yinghuang itself does not lack Huayi's money.He just needs a local snake.
