Actor without ambition

Chapter 311

When the movie "Nightclub" was released, it took in 2.93 million at the box office, and it almost reached [-] million.

Although the movie box office is less than [-] million, for Zhang Yi, Shen Teng, Liu Yan and even the director Li Huizhu, this is already a very satisfying box office.

It can be said that this movie has been locked in the top ten positions of the 2010 annual movie box office.

Especially for this movie, the total investment is only 1000 million. With an investment of 1000 million, it got back nearly [-] million at the box office. It can be said that it is definitely a big profit.

In particular, the investment situation of this film is different from other films.

The films that Zhang Yuxuan made before, whether they were the films that Zhang Yuxuan made when he was in Pickup Culture Media, or the movies that Zhang Yuxuan made after he opened his personal studio.

Although the copyright and other aspects belong to Pickup Culture Media or Zhang Yuxuan Studio.

But in fact, the investors of those movies were not limited to Pickup Culture Media or Zhang Yuxuan Studio.

In fact, several investment companies participate in the investment of each film.

Although the investment share of each family is not equal, it is not necessarily much.But it really has to be.

Because in the entertainment industry, eating alone is not acceptable!

No matter how rich you are, you can spend hundreds of millions to invest in a movie, but you can't really invest all the money needed for the movie by yourself.

Everyone earns money together, this is the rule of this business.

Otherwise, if Zhang Yuxuan's every movie is a big hit, every movie is a big hit, Zhang Yuxuan earns all the money, and other people can drink some soup at most, then those other companies will be willing?
If Zhang Yuxuan really eats alone, then he will face the entire entertainment industry, and the entire entertainment industry will be his enemy.

The entertainment industry is not a clean place, there are all kinds of twists and turns, all kinds of messy things and methods, as for what you can't think of, there is nothing they can't do.

Otherwise, the film review alone is enough for you, let alone the shooting location, actors, special effects, release channels, word-of-mouth, etc., it is absolutely impossible for people to eat. Legitimate means of competition, not to mention some dirtier ones.

It is also because Zhang Yuxuan seldom eats alone, so in the movie market, Zhang Yuxuan was able to be so smooth, with almost no bumps and bumps.

Just like the movie "Great Wish" shot by Zhang Yuxuan before, the box office of the movie is almost [-] million. After deducting the share of the movie theater and various taxes, the final profit is about [-] million.

However, the profit of 7000 million yuan was divided up by several investors. Zhang Yuxuan's studio finally got a profit, which was less than [-] million yuan, only [-] to [-] million yuan. The rest of the money belonged to other investors.

In fact, those investors are willing to let Zhang Yuxuan make a big profit and take one-third of the profits. They earn less, and several companies share two-thirds of the profits, which is considered very good.

And "Nightclub", because it is a very small investment movie, the protagonists are all newcomers, and even the director has never made a movie before, no, he made it once, or it failed.That's why there are no other companies participating in this kind of small film.

So much so that "Nightclub" won nearly [-] million movie box office, and in the end almost [-] million profits, all fell into Zhang Yuxuan's studio account, which is what makes people jealous.

For the movie "Nightclub", other companies also analyzed it, and finally came to the conclusion that "Nightclub" is a comedy movie above the pass line. If this kind of movie is replaced by a better actor, like Andy Lau, It should be normal for an actor like Liang Chaowei who has a certain reputation and charisma to star in a movie with a box office of around [-] million.

But [-] million, that's over.

So how did the extra [-] million box office come from?
These entertainment companies analyzed left and right, and finally agreed that the extra [-] million box office of "Nightclub" should be brought by Zhang Yuxuan's guest appearance.

As a result, more companies and more people began to focus on Zhang Yuxuan.

It turned out that even if Zhang Yuxuan didn't play the leading role, but only made a guest appearance, he could still bring the film a box office of [-] million yuan!
So-

"Yuxuan, these are invitations for you to be a guest star in the movie." Li Ling put a bunch of invitations in front of Zhang Yuxuan.

Henry Zhang was a little speechless.

"Actually, it's not bad if you are willing to play a guest role. It's just a random role. There are not many scenes and the shooting time is not long. Just like the guest star in "Nightclub", you can easily get 2000 million yuan. Salary. You can even guest-star in more than a dozen movies in a month. By then, the salary alone will be hundreds of millions." Li Bai said with a smile.

Zhang Yuxuan rolled his eyes directly: "Believe it or not, if I really take on these cameo roles, next year my word of mouth will deteriorate, and it may even affect the appeal of my movie box office."

"Believe me, why don't I believe it." Li Ling nodded: "So I didn't expect you to agree to these guest appearance invitations. However, Feng Gangpao sent you another invitation to play his Movie."

"Feng Gangpao? Didn't I win his movie "The Great Earthquake"?" Zhang Yuxuan froze for a moment.

"The "Great Earthquake" has been filmed for a while, Feng Gangpao doesn't know why, but he plans to make another movie this year, so he invited you again." Li Ling put a script on Zhang Yuxuan In front of him: "This is "If You Are the One 2"."

""If You Are the One 2"? Let me be a guest star?" Zhang Yuxuan took it over.

"No, I want you to play the leading role. Feng Gangpao intends to let you and Ge You be the leading role at the same time. For this reason, he also specially changed the script, increasing the role of Li Xiangshan and becoming the same as Ge You." The roles played are pretty much the same.”

"The male lead is parallel." Zhang Yuxuan nodded suddenly, but he didn't reject it.

Although Ge You's film salary is more than double that of Zhang Yuxuan, in China, Ge You's film status is not inferior to Zhang Yuxuan's at all.

Therefore, Zhang Yuxuan did not reject such a thing as being a leading actor alongside Ge You.In fact, as long as Zhang Yuxuan is not allowed to praise any newcomers, or play the leading role alongside a second- and third-tier actor, Zhang Yuxuan doesn't have much opinion.Well, of course, except for Zhang Yuxuan's own studio artists like Zhang Yi.

Zhang Yuxuan is still willing to praise his own people.

Holding the script, Zhang Yuxuan flipped through it.

Regarding the role of Li Xiangshan, Zhang Yuxuan found that Feng Gangpao's design for the role of Li Xiangshan was quite interesting.

Didn't Zhang Yuxuan play a guest role as a steel merchant in "If You Are the One 1" before?

So in "If You Are the One 2", Zhang Yuxuan will play the role of Li Xiangshan, and one of the experiences is selling steel.

Well, it is set in the script that Li Xiangshan failed to sell steel products, and it was precisely because of the failure that he would always recommend steel products to the blind date when he was on a blind date.

Well, the role of Li Xiangshan is a person who loves to make troubles and is very good at making troubles. He has worked in many industries, and most of them have failed, but there are also some who are relatively successful or even very successful.

The role of Li Xiangshan in the script is also very interesting and interesting.

"Mango and the hostess are two roles. You can ask Feng Gangpao if it has been settled." Zhang Yuxuan thought for a while, decided to accept the script, and then said to Li Ling.

"Are you going to let Liu Yan and Yang Mi go?"

"Well, of course, after all, I think this movie is good, at least better than the first one, and the roles of Mango and the hostess are also pretty good." Zhang Yuxuan said as a matter of course.

"Okay, I'll ask, but I think we should be able to win one of these two roles. Let's see who we want to play." Li Ling reminded Zhang Yuxuan.

"Can you take one down?" Zhang Yuxuan pondered, indeed, Zhang Yuxuan starred in this movie, so with Zhang Yuxuan's identity and status, he can bring someone to play the movie together, Mango and the hostess, these two roles , Henry Zhang can probably only choose one.

For Mango, Zhang Yuxuan wanted Liu Yan to act, and the hostess was suitable for Yang Mi.

As for Mango, the second female lead, and the hostess, she can barely be considered the third female lead.

So starting from profit, Zhang Yuxuan wanted to win the role of Mango even more.

But it would be a bit unfair to Yang Mi to hand over the role of Mango to Liu Yan.

After all, when Liu Yan first joined the studio, Zhang Yuxuan directly gave Liu Yan the lead actress in "Nightclub", and also won Liu Yan the heroine of "Little Soldier", even though the role of the heroine is relatively small.But this is also an opportunity that most people dream of.Not to mention that "Night Club" also won nearly [-] million box office.

In addition, Liu Yan is still a regular guest of "Run, Brother", so Liu Yan's current popularity and status are all soaring.

Compared to Liu Yan, Yang Mi who joined a few months later than Liu Yan, her treatment is much worse than Liu Yan.

Zhang Yuxuan also gave Yang Mi the role of the heroine in the TV series "Scary Step by Step". Even if it is the heroine, even if the show is good, but compared to the movie, it is still a bit inferior in talent. "Run, Brother" does not have Yang Mi as a regular guest.

So Zhang Yuxuan has to think about it now and arrange more scenes for Yang Mi.

Although it is impossible to distribute resources equally, at least they must be relatively equal.

"Then let's fight for the role of hostess." Zhang Yuxuan finally made a choice and decided to give Yang Mi a chance.

As for why not fight for the role of Mango and leave it to Yang Mi to play it?

Naturally, it was because Yang Mi was too young.

Yang Mi is only in her twenties, and the role of Mango is not suitable for her. Therefore, Zhang Yuxuan can only choose the role of the hostess now.

As for Yang Mi, who had already finished filming the startling step by step, when she received a call from Li Ling, informing her that she would star in Feng Gangpao's movie with Zhang Yuxuan, her eyes lit up, and she also had an excited smile on her face.

Feng Gangpao's movie, for the previous Yang Mi, it is almost unthinkable.

In other words, apart from you who played the role of the boy back then, Yang Mi has hardly worked with any powerful actors and directors.

Of course she is very happy to be able to act in Feng Gangpao's movie now.

At the same time, in this movie, there is Zhang Yuxuan's box office guarantee, so Yang Mi doesn't have to worry about whether the movie will fail or not.

Even though Li Ling had told her on the phone that the role she was going to play was just a female number three, it still couldn't affect her mood.

Of course, Li Ling secretly revealed it on the phone.

Originally, Zhang Yuxuan could take Liu Yan to play the role of Feng Gangpao's second female lead, but in order to give her Yang Mi a chance, Zhang Yuxuan sacrificed the role of the second female lead, and instead chose to play a role that was not as good as the second female lead in terms of drama and excitement. Number two's female number three.

Yang Mi is also a smart person, knowing that the reason why Li Ling leaked this kind of news was to tell her that Zhang Yuxuan was very fair to her, and even sacrificed Liu Yan's chance for her.

So Yang Mi kept expressing her thanks on the phone, thanking Zhang Yuxuan. As for how true and how false, it was out of everyone's consideration.

After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi still had a happy expression on her face. No matter what the situation was, at least the fact that she took down Feng Gangpao's female No. [-] was settled, and the benefits were already in her hands. up.

After getting the script, Yang Mi looked at the script, and after looking at her own role, she started to look at the role of the second female lead.

Then Yang Mi discovered that the role of female number two is indeed more outstanding than that of the third, and even the role of female number three, how to put it, is hardly outstanding.

If possible, Yang Mi also wants to play the role of the second female mango.

It's just that Yang Mi thought about the personality of Mango, the second female number, and then looked at herself in the mirror, who looked immature no matter how she looked, Yang Mi knew, no wonder Zhang Yuxuan didn't fight for the second female number for her, but for the third female number up.

In terms of her current age, image, temperament, etc., the character design of female No. [-] is indeed still difficult to grasp.

If she can be five or six years old again, and then through makeup, she can also play the role of the second female lead, but unfortunately, she is still too young now.

In fact, Yang Mi felt that Zhang Yuxuan's age might not be suitable for the role of Li Xiangshan. After all, the role of Li Xiangshan was no longer young and did not match Zhang Yuxuan's age.

But Yang Mi also knew that Zhang Yuxuan was very famous now, and although most of the movies Zhang Yuxuan acted in were comedies, he still had some acting skills. Through makeup and acting skills, he should be able to play the role of Li Xiangshan well.

Just thinking that Zhang Yuxuan is about the same age as her, and can play a role of Li Xiangshan's age, but she can't play the role of Li Xiangshan's ex-wife Mango.The gap here is somewhat larger.

"So, on the one hand, it should be a matter of fame, and on the other hand, it should be a matter of acting skills." Yang Mi muttered to herself: "The reason why Zhang Yuxuan can play the role of Li Xiangshan should be due to these two aspects."

"So, maybe I should think of a way to sharpen my acting skills." Yang Mi's eyes were shining with ambition. After all, she can improve her acting skills through hard work, and her fame can only depend on her works.

Zhang Yuxuan didn't know what Yang Mi was thinking, but if he knew that Yang Mi wanted to hone her acting skills because of this drama, he would still be very happy.

Even though the traffic stars are not bad, whether it is making money or something, they can go well, just like Yang Mi in the previous life, even if she is in her 30s, she still plays the young girl who is the domineering president TV series, but her fame, status, etc. are still not bad.

However, no matter how famous she is, she can become a top actress.However, except for her works in the first few years when she became popular, the reputation of her remaining works is worse than the other. Difference.

On the contrary, Zhao Liying did not forget to hone her acting skills after she became a top performer. When she got older, she began to hone her acting skills and stopped acting in idol dramas. She is destined to go further than Yang Mi in the future.

Therefore, as Yang Mi is Zhang Yuxuan's person, Zhang Yuxuan still hopes that she can hone her acting skills more, so that she can naturally transform into an acting school when she gets older.

Well, wait until you are older.As for now, she is young, so it would be good to shoot TV series or movies suitable for her current age.

In fact, it is already quite good to do what kind of things at any age.

It's like Andy Lau, didn't he follow the route of fresh meat when he was young?If you look at the movies of his youth, you will know that in the movies, he is really just playing handsome.

Shooting suicide in the movie, the pistol has to be a trick, no matter how fancy it is, butterfly knife, whatever it is fancy.Even the fighting action will end with a handsome posture after the fight.

So when Andy Lau was young, it was safe to take the small fresh meat route.When he got older, he began to pursue acting. He got rid of a lot of fancy and handsome moves and started to improve his acting skills.Then he began to become a movie star, taking off his hat of not being able to act.

This route is really good.

Do what you do at any age.Being able to do this is totally commendable enough.

On the contrary, when you are young, it is not very good to over-promote your own acting skills.

Just like Liu Xing, the Liu Xing who rained, snowed and had hail.At the beginning, I kept promoting myself as an acting school, acting school, and how good my acting skills are.So much so that in the end, the audience has already had an impression of him, that is, he is an acting school, so when watching his TV series, the audience will subconsciously raise their requirements for his acting skills.

Then one of his TV series' acting skills were not up to standard, the character set collapsed directly, and then the resources plummeted.

If he didn't mark himself as an acting school, the consequences would not be so serious if he didn't perform well in the TV series.

Well, but then again, with his appearance, it seems that he can only set himself up as an acting personality.

Therefore, in the entertainment circle, many personas can be established, even if the personas collapse, there will be people who will support them.But the character design of the acting school, especially the character design of the young acting school, it is best not to stand if it can not be established.

Because acting skills are really a very high standard for an actor.Once the characters of the acting school collapse, the consequences will often be more serious than the collapse of other characters.
