Chapter 1082 Behind the Hair Dyeing Problem

Zhou Xia immediately agreed happily, he just planned to get some good horror films from that time and space to find someone to shoot, and this director can cooperate.

The other party is a Spaniard, not a native American, and he just signed a contract with a North American company as a director.

After negotiating this matter, Zhou Xia was relieved and went back to the villa to see Yu Fei and Er Di.

After the filming of Erdi's film was completed, he stayed in New York for two days and then went to the Los Angeles North American company to try out costumes, study scripts, and make some preparations for shooting.

During this period, for some reason, she was invited by Yufei to the house, and then stayed there as a companion.

Now that Zhou Xia came back, he was secretly expecting and worried, fearing that the two of them would deal with him together.

After returning, the three of them ate a sumptuous Chinese meal to celebrate the completion of Zhou Xia's movie, and then chatted in the living room.

Yu Fei already knew about Er Di's filming of "The Beach", and Er Di didn't tell her anything behind her back, so he directly talked about it with Zhou Xia.

"Director, have you seen all my makeup trial photos? I have dyed several hair colors. Which one do you think is suitable? How did you communicate with Director Zomi Hilla?"

Er Di was most worried about this matter, so he simply asked a series of questions.

Zhou Xia glanced at Yu Fei who was next to him. At home, Er Di still called him the director, which sounded awkward.

"What do you think I'm doing?" Yu Fei said angrily.

"Hehe, how do you know I'm watching you if you don't look at me?"

Zhou Xia replied rascally, looked at Erdi and said, "They're all pretty good, but the straight brown hair is not bad."

Thinking that Blake Lively was not a traditional blonde beauty on the beach, but a brown-red hair color, Zhou Xia still thought it was better.

And this hair color Erdi has also dyed it before, and it looks better than other hair dyes.

"Oh, then the director, have you convinced me?" Er Di hurriedly asked again.

"Don't worry, he has been persuaded by me. Besides, why is your skin color so white now?" Zhou Xia asked Er Di with a frown.

Since it is going to be a Hollywood horror film, the protagonist must of course conform to the aesthetics of Europe and America. His hair is dyed and his skin is tanned.

"I..., can I not tan my skin, and do I really have to dye my hair?" Er Di looked at Zhou Xia hesitantly and asked.

"What's the matter?" Zhou Xia asked with a frown.

Seeing this, Yu Fei got up and walked upstairs, not wanting to disturb their conversation.

"My team published related articles in China. Many people objected to my hair dyeing. They said that if you are a well-behaved Chinese, why pretend to be a foreigner even if you are making a Hollywood movie..."

Er Di said with a look of embarrassment, this request was made by Zhou Xia, and she just leaked a little information before filming, but she didn't expect to be said so by some people, she was really afraid of rising to a certain height, and it would really have a great impact up.

"Well, why are these kinds of remarks coming out?" Zhou Xia asked angrily and helplessly.

"Yeah, there weren't many people at first, but someone brought the rhythm, and many of my fans also thought it made sense, so they joined together..."

"Okay, I see, let me think about it."

Zhou Xia lowered his head and pondered.

Yu Fei had already gone upstairs, and Er Di simply came over silently and sat down next to Zhou Xia, watching him quietly.

According to what Er Di said, it is no longer a problem of hair dyeing.

In fact, Zhou Xia also thought about this at the time, but he didn't expect domestic netizens to be so fierce. Of course, there must be some people behind the rhythm.

Especially those film and television companies.

These people just don't want to see Xia Hua's movie seek more influence internationally and get a higher box office, so they come out in such a hurry to bring rhythm.

If you wait until after the movie is released to start the rhythm, it may affect Erdi's image in the eyes of domestic audiences and damage her acting career, but at that time Xiahua Film and Television may have gained greater benefits, so it is natural to do so now. Beginning with rhythm spoils this film at its best.

Zhou Xia also imagined shooting a Chinese version of "The Beach" in China at the beginning, so there would be no problem of dyeing her hair, and it would simply be a Chinese film hitting the overseas market.

It's just that how much success it can achieve, especially how much box office it can achieve overseas, is immeasurable this Zhou Xia.

Although the original movie only had a global box office of more than 1 million U.S. dollars and a domestic box office of only more than 1 million U.S. dollars, it still made a lot of money.

Compared with the total investment cost of 1700 million U.S. dollars including publicity and distribution, this is considered a small and medium-cost film in Hollywood, and it is not considered a large investment in China, but it has achieved such a high box office and won the approval of many fans. The protagonist has won a lot of attention, so this movie is undoubtedly very successful.

This is also the reason why Zhou Xia wanted Er Di to participate and film in Hollywood.

In China, the subject matter of horror films is subject to many restrictions. Although this film can pass the review, some scenes will still be cut, so it is best to be produced by a North American company.

That's why Zhou Xia decided to let Er Di dye his hair and tan his skin to prepare for the movie.

But now that this rhythm has come out, how should he choose?

Er Di is obviously very worried about this matter, after all, she will bear the final pressure.

Zhou Xia pondered, and finally he made a decision in his heart.

"Okay, Erdi, it's fine to dye your hair, but let's tan your skin."

"Oh, I'll take it easy and keep drying outside every day."

Er Di originally planned to say that he couldn't go to tanning, but he took it back.

Zhou Xia will definitely reprimand her for saying this.

Although Zhou Xia usually spoils him no matter what, she has never made low demands on her in terms of film requirements, and even made higher demands on her.

"Well, come on, this movie is a one-man show for you as a woman, and it will be hard to forget when it's filmed." Zhou Xia said happily.

"Hmph, what is my one-man show, is it a shark's one-man show." Er Di snorted coldly.

"Hehe, it's alright, you two are the protagonists." Zhou Xia said with a smile.

The rest of this movie is soy sauce, in fact, it is the role of the heroine and the shark.

"Then shall we shoot in English or in Mandarin?" Thinking of not having to dye his hair, Er Di couldn't help but think of this question.

"What do you think, then let's just shoot this movie in China!" Zhou Xia said angrily.

"But now it's like this, it's better to focus on the country." Er Di sullenly said.

Zhou Xia was a little hesitant when she asked her to dye her hair, but she agreed with it at the time, and she just wanted to use this opportunity to really go global and enter Hollywood.

But the reality is the backbone. In terms of movies, she has not had any achievements in China, and she has not even stabilized her basic market. It is too ambitious to think so far.

If the national favorability is really gone, then she will be even worse.

From China to Hollywood, only action stars are popular, and everyone else is very average.

Not to mention the male stars, even the female stars of the international chapter gained popularity in Hollywood by relying on action movies back then.

But she is not a professional star after all, and female action actors are far less popular than male actors. In addition, without capital support, mass base, and box office appeal, she can only return to China to develop.

Of course, she couldn't ignore so many lessons.
