It’s true that Jiang Yuqian really needs this opportunity now, but she hasn’t reached the point where she keeps lowering her bottom line.
In the final analysis, she wants to take the international route to make her career better, not to break through a bottom line, making Hollywood people think that she is a cheap actor.
She didn't say that she had to get a very high pay before she could act in a certain drama.
If the film production budget is limited, each actor has a low pay, and she likes the script very much, then of course she can also reduce the pay a little.
However, if the salary given to her is so low, but others can get the salary normally, how can that be possible?
“After all, it’s because they know that the Day of Destruction we are in contact is shelved, so our subsequent schedules are empty, and we know that we have been actively contacting the heroines of Hollywood movies, so they maliciously lowered the price and felt that we would agree. "He Heng said.
Jiang Yuqian took a deep breath and shook her head.
"Our movements are indeed a bit obvious. Everything is written on the face and is clearly seen." Jiang Yuqian said, "I begged someone to take a project, and I beg me to go there with others." A project is completely different. "
"To put it bluntly, we are Asians and we know we want to play Hollywood movies, so we think we can control us."
He Heng was a little annoyed After sighing, he said to Jiang Yuqian: "Actually, I have been reflecting on something recently."
"What's the matter?" Jiang Yuqian asked.
"Are we too persistent in participating in Hollywood film and television works?" He Heng said, "Especially, we have seen Yan He's success, so we always subconsciously benchmark him and refer to it. He. Of course, I'm not saying that film and television works are not important. I mean, in fact, many popular stars may not have such successful film and television works. We won't accept inappropriate film and television works, so there is no need to Force it. "
With the star route, is it secondly whether the film and television works are successful or not. The key is whether you are popular enough and whether you are always being followed by everyone.
Jiang Yuqian said: "But if we want to take the international route and do not participate in Hollywood film and television works, how can we let people around the world see me through Hollywood's global promotion channels?"
He Heng said: "This is the question I really want to tell you. Should we take the international route, really want to become a star with international popularity and influence, or Using the internationalization route to become a label for you among Chinese celebrities. In fact, the main basic market is still in China. These are two concepts.”
Jiang Yuqian understood.
She looked at He Heng in surprise.
He Heng said: "If it is the former, then we have to continue to work hard to find projects and resources, but if it is the latter, our current strategy should change. Hollywood film and television We can have one drama at most two or three years, and we usually attend more internationally influential events, which is enough."
Jiang Yuqian quickly understood what He Heng meant.
In fact, for Jiang Yuqian, it is not difficult for her to star in some overseas film and television dramas now. With the drama "Squid Game", she is not an unknown person to various overseas production companies, and is also a Chinese actress with a certain reputation in everyone's mind. For Jiang Yuqian now, the resources that can be obtained are the roles of some mainstream, A-level heroines, and the real global spokesperson of top brands. This truly valuable business Title is the important month for top fashion magazines. People's cover...
If Jiang Yuqian really wants to take a real internationalization path and become a female star who is truly recognized by the world, then she cannot turn a blind eye to these difficult resources. She must try her best to conquer and give herself The resume of gold drawing. But if, as He Heng said, she just needs to have a "international" label to facilitate her to consolidate her status as a female star in China, she can never fight like this, as long as she takes the image of a Chinese actress from time to time Appearing in some international occasions is enough for her to stand firm in her current position.
Jiang Yuqian hardly hesitated.
"When I can fight, I still want to fight." Jiang Yuqian said, "Since I have played the slogan of internationalization, if I just become an international star in the eyes of Chinese people, That's too self-deception, boring. I really can't make it anymore in the future. I can only use this method to make a living. Now... I think it's nothing, I just fight. Guan Guan is sad and pass this role. If you refuse to give a normal market price, you won’t act.”
He Heng nodded. "Then we will meet the next chance to play the leading actress in a Hollywood movie," she reminded.
"It's okay." Jiang Yuqian nodded, "Hollywood really has no show. I don't have any show in China. Why do I have to come here to suffer such a loss? Moreover, it's OK like before. If you go to a big director's movie, you can only play a movie that only I am willing to play the supporting roles in two or three shots, but I will give me a pay for a supporting role that is worse than even a supporting role. I can't help but feel embarrassed."
He Heng: "It's true. In this way, once this matter is exposed, That would be really embarrassing."
"By the way." He Heng suddenly remembered something and asked, "You have heard of the news that Li Zhibai is going to star in "Burning Live"?" br>"I heard." Jiang Yuqian nodded, "What's wrong?"
"Have you ever talked to Lu Yanhe in private? Since he has "Buried Live" in his hand, he can play the leading role for Li Zhibai. The script, maybe there is a script for you to play the heroine." He Heng said.
Jiang Yuqian: "Maybe there is, but we don't take the initiative to disturb him. If he really has a role that suits me, he will definitely come to tell me, so I don't need to ask. Moreover, Sister Heng, I hope that in addition to Yan He, we can also accumulate our own connections and strength overseas. I especially admire Yan He. Wherever he goes, he can take root in that place, like the movie "Buried Alive" The movie was developed by his production company in the United States and the production company directed by Lune Rees. "
"He is a special situation and cannot be learned casually." He Heng shook his head, "If he had not had the identity of a screenwriter and had not taken out the scripts "Buried Alive" and "Source Code", he was in Hollywood He is just a very representative actor among Asians. He can't do anything like he is now. He has entered the development level of some projects right from the beginning."
Jiang Yuqian asked: "Sister Heng, you said , Is it possible for me to lead the development of a work? "
"Ah?" He Heng was stunned.
"For example, I have read a very good novel now. I think this novel is suitable for developing into a movie or a series. I will buy the copyright and develop it." Jiang Yuqian said. "The idea is good, but it is difficult to realize. Just look at the "Records of the Nineteen Years of Crime" by Li Zhibai. It was still with the help of many people, and they all became like that." He Heng said, "A project is developed from scratch, and it takes too much effort to consume. Unless you do nothing this year and invest all of it in this project, you have to find someone who can understand you. People who think and know what you want to be, help you become a producer, and do these things."
Jiang Yuqian nodded.
"But, I think Yan He has something right. If an actor wants to gain the right to speak and control over his career, he cannot wait for the script to come forever." Jiang Yuqian He said, "There was no way, but now I want to slowly get in touch with things in this area."
He Heng: "Of course, of course this is OK."
Jiang Yuqian: " In fact, every time I encounter some problems in my own career, I can't help but be surprised by Lu Yanhe. You see, he takes every step very accurately, and in hindsight, he has the effect of preparing for the future. He was still spinning like a donkey pulling a mill on the actor track, and he was already opening a new track by himself. People can't compare themselves with each other."
"There is no need to compare, everyone is different. In fact, our domestic film and television industry has not become the global center like the United States. Otherwise, as long as you are a top female star in China, you will naturally become popular around the world. "He Heng said, "You are actually doing a great job. People like Lu Yanhe, let alone China, do you think there are young people in Hollywood who can compete with him?"
"Stop talking. Every time I see some new moves coming from him in Hollywood, I really want to ask myself, what am I doing and why I feel like he and I are not in the same Hollywood world. His projects come one after another, but I have repeatedly hit a wall." Jiang Yuqian nodded and said firmly, "Actually, in the end, I still don't have core competitiveness, this is the most important thing. The key thing is."
He Heng nodded, "On the one hand, he is strong himself, and on the other hand, he is really lucky. Look, in the movie "Mist" he is just a villain Although he is also the starring actor, the focus is not on him. However, since the filming began, it has been around him and Asian identities, and it has happened several times. The news that was followed made the focus of the movie tilt towards him bit by bit. Before it was released, even the promotional strategy of the movie became to see how an Asian ghost took revenge on the story of murdering his family fiercely back then. < br>
This is really luck on his side. If it weren't for this reason, it would be impossible for everyone to attribute most of the success of "Mist" to him. He still has a place to prepare now. The attention is the Asian market represented by him. This movie allows Hollywood to see that Asians themselves have a box office market, and There was no consensus before, which is why, over the past year, we have actually been exposed to many English scripts with Asian characters. How could there be so many before? "
He Heng said again: "So, I think this is also an advantage for you. You have a representative work and are Asian again. I have caught up with the craze of Asian characters in Hollywood. In addition to this kind of vicious price-pressure project, we still have other projects to choose from. By a few years ago, if you wanted to go to Hollywood, you might not have met an Asian character with lines in a year."
Jiang Yuqian: "The Asians I meet here are basically the ones who will definitely talk about the movie "Mist". You can really feel what this movie means to the Asian community in Hollywood."
No mistakes, one poem, one post, one content, one in 6, one book, one bar, one read!
"Don't "Mistress" also develop sequels?" He Heng said, "The filming will start next year. I guess the sequel of "Mistress" will definitely play Asian cards more clearly by then, and maybe it will be suitable. With your role, you must be one of the most competitive candidates."
"But they may choose actors from other countries. "Misty" cannot be released in China, but it will be in South Korea and Japan. Asian countries are released, and these countries are selected for performances , it is also helpful to the local box office of the sequel of "Misty" in the sequel." Jiang Yuqian said, "and it can also make the movie's cast more diversified. Isn't this what Hollywood advocates most now?"
He Heng said: "It all depends on your ability. I have already contacted A19, and A19 will also ask Lu Yanhe for advice. It's a pity. Originally, you are the heroine of the movie "Doom Day". Very promising."
Jiang Yuqian: "There is nothing to do."
At this moment, He Heng's cell phone suddenly rang.
She took it in her hand, took a look, and said, "Wait a minute, Stephen is calling."
Stephen is Jiang Yuqian's agent in the United States, and Jiang Yuqian is in the United States He is basically responsible for the work here.
About five minutes later, He Heng came back.
She showed surprise.
"The Washington Post just reported the reason behind Tom Filton's withdrawal from "Doom Day". It is said that he had physical problems due to overdose, so he could not work properly. Stephen said, "Doom" The movie "Day" should have a turning point and will continue to advance. Parameter asked him about your schedule. Although there is no conclusion yet, there is a high possibility of continuing to advance."
He Heng's words It made Jiang Yuqian look surprised.
-
"So, is this resurrection from the dead on "Doom"?"
Lu Yanhe, who has been paying attention to this project, also asked Chen Ziyan in surprise.
Chen Ziyan said: "Parameter has definitely spent some money on developing this movie in the early stage. Tom Felton's previous reason for withdrawal has caused a lot of doubts about the movie. Now it has been exposed. The reason for Erton's withdrawal was different, so the previous reason was self-defeating, and the situation in "Doom Day" naturally ushered in a turning point." "
"But, this movie must still be It takes a first-line celebrity like Tom Filton to star in order to promote the project normally, right? "
"It depends on whether they will still plan to use the original production budget to make this movie . "Chen Ziyan said, "It is also possible that the budget will be downgraded and this movie will become a B-level film."
Lu Yanhe said, "There are many special effects scenes in this movie. If it becomes a B-level film, Can you see that? ”
"Can you watch it... it's not clear. Anyway, Parameters and others can settle the score, and they won't suffer any losses." "It's one thing not to suffer any losses. If the movie is too bad, then we still have to Help Teacher Jiang Jun compete for this movie? "
Chen Ziyan shook her head, "If you really want to make a B-level film, then forget it. Teacher Jiang Jun competed before, but it was Hollywood after all. The male protagonist produced by A is of great help to his career development, but if he becomes a B-level film... It doesn't mean that there are no good works in B-level films, but it is not worthy of Mr. Jiang Jun's current position. The actors who were allowed to fight for him invisibly lowered the market's recognition of him."
Lu Yanhe nodded, "I also feel so. I was not afraid of asking Teacher Jiang Jun to help us compete for roles with Chen Pinhe. I'm so embarrassed."
"Then there is no need to feel embarrassed. It's normal for Jiang Jun to compete for a good project." Chen Ziyan said, "Even if there is no matter between you and Chen Pinhe, I know this I will definitely fight for Jiang Jun. As long as I am a suitable male actor, it is impossible not to fight for this level of resources."
Lu Yanhe: "I know, but we must objectively admit that I did pull him down for my business. Chen Pinhe will definitely remember him."
