Chapter 442 The status of Korean actress
After ending the call with David, Zhang Chen immediately contacted Diane.
"Things are far more serious than he said. Harvey uses his influence in Hollywood to sing you, and the bad thing is that everyone believes in him..."
"What did he say?"
"I'll read a few things to you:
Recently I heard a news that a Chinese actually wanted to make a science fiction film, but she overestimated her ability to create a large production of $100 million. Haha, when can Chinese people also make science fiction films?
I advised him to go back and shoot martial arts films that are high and high. That is what Chinese people are good at~
I guess Warner must have been caught by the Chinese government, otherwise how could he have made such a foolish move~
It is said that the arrogant and arrogant director used to make horror movies. Has there ever been a successful precedent in Hollywood?
I admire their imagination very much. Perhaps the horror film directors transform into science fiction films, which is very science fiction in itself~
I learned that he is very famous in China, and his status is probably equivalent to James Wen in the United States. He probably wants to copy Wen’s transformation path, but I want to say that Wen has transformed from a horror movie into an action movie, and it is a low-cost action movie. This Chinese guy is directly replaced by a science fiction of $100 million. I am waiting to see him sitting on the side of the road wiping his tears, hahaha..."
"Boss, it seems that this Harvey Wienstein hates it so much After you, in the 30-minute interview, he complained about you for more than twenty minutes, and it felt like you had slept with his mother..."
Before Zhang Chen had spoken, Diane on the other end of the phone laughed, and this guy was still in the mood to joke.
I felt that Zhang Chen seemed a little unhappy, so Diane restrained a little.
"Relax, Boss, this is no big deal. This level of smear is common in Hollywood, and you should even be proud. At least he has not found any real black material about you, otherwise he would not have made a fuss with your identity as a horror film director..." Zhang Chen was surprised at the other party's big heart.
"Harvey targeted you like this, it must be because we snatched the North American copyright of "Night Banquet", and he felt that he was offended~"
Speaking of this, Diane curled her lips. This was her proud work. She bought "Night Banquet" for $800,000, and sold it for 5 million, making a net profit of $4.8 million. Is there any easier business than this?
He even instigated Zhang Chen to operate similar movies in China in this way, but unfortunately Zhang Chen clearly refused.
Diane comforted again: "Believe me, Boss, it's okay. Morgan Freeman is considered a well-known actor. Every time he has a movie released, his competitors will take out the matter of his granddaughter and vent it. At least you don't have such bad stuff, right?"
Zhang Chen was shocked. Hollywood really played the game like a battlefield to the extreme. "But Warner said that this may affect the box office. Do we need to do nothing?"
"No need to pay attention to them, the box office of movies is not so easy to affect. You are doing a large production of $100 million. As long as the movie quality is up, there will be no problem.
At that time, even if you rely solely on normal promotion and promotion, we can crush this so-called smear, but you are right, we can't do nothing. I contacted some media and happened to cooperate with the ongoing "Silent Land" to find that guy uncomfortable...
Didn’t he think of you? The box office of "Silent Land" is not bad, so we just slapped him in the face..."
"Okay, that’s all. "
Compared with himself, Diane is a native Hollywood man. In terms of understanding Hollywood, she is definitely ten streets away from her.
Dian said it was okay, so it should be fine.
Since Diane said that, Zhang Chen no longer rushes to return to China, and first focus on the filming of "New World".
Establish a group, script encirclement~
This is very good in South Korea. script encirclement is an inevitable project. No wonder the film industry can develop.
Zhang Chen stayed for a few days and saw not much, but he heard a lot of things.
I have felt from TV series before that the hierarchical culture in South Korea is very serious. This time I feel it deeply, much more serious than he imagined.
The status of male artists and female artists is completely different, and even artists are divided into different levels.
The basic order is probably actors > singers > funny artists > girl group > trainees...
The actors have a very high status, among which the movie actors have the highest status.
However, unlike in China, actors basically don’t need fans to raise.
Korean actors do not need to rely on fans to improve box office or ratings, so they can focus on improving their acting skills.
And the competition here is very fierce, much crueler than the mainland.
So anyone who can make a name for himself has good acting skills.
Unlike actors, singers have another logic.
Korean singers are usually very distinctive, they basically have another identity, idol.
This determines that they are playing the fan economy.
As for funny artists, it can be ignored.
I participated in many programs, and I didn’t even have a place to sit.
But there is another person with a lower status than a funny artist, that is the girl group.
In the news, we often see Korean female celebrities committing suicide because of humiliation, and also being installed with remote controls when they were on the show. Female celebrities are in this state of living, let alone girl groups.
It is not easy for an agency to obtain film and television resources, and even a large company like SM is still not easy.
So if a girl group wants to get film and television resources, it must pay the price. It is a basic operation to accompany drinking or sleeping.
Even if they themselves don’t want to, the brokerage firms and brokers behind them will force them to be willing.
Agents are originally playing the role of pimps. If you can't even do this well, then you are not a good agent.
When Zhang Chen was in these days, Kim Tae-yu expressed generously that he could arrange a woman for him.
Zhang Chen saw Kim Tae-yu's power with his own eyes. Those brokerage companies, when they see big agents like Kim Tae-yu, have to call them dads, and it is easy for the girl group members to drink leather shoes and wine.
But he did not agree, he didn't want to be the male lead in the short video.
The secret photography industry in South Korea is very developed~
And he is not sure if Kim Tae-wook will set him a trap.
Zhang Chen originally wanted to stay for two more days, but he didn't expect that the country would be in trouble.
Harvey's interview did not do anything to Zhang Chen in the United States, but instead caused huge waves in China.
Generally speaking, with the current speed of news spread, what happened in the United States will only take a few days to be transmitted back to China.
But this time it's different.
After Harvey's interview was exposed, domestic reports were overwhelming in just one day.
Zhang Chen encountered Hollywood doubts—《bj Youth Daily》
Hollywood bosses are underestimating Pacific Rim, China's first science fiction movie may still be born in the womb—《bj Morning Post》
Harvey Wienstein believes that Zhang Chen overestimates himself—《Southern Metropolis Daily》
The door to Chinese science fiction has just opened and may be closed immediately - "China Entertainment Report"
Zhang Chen encountered the biggest crisis of trust in history - "Chongqing Daily Entertainment Edition"
Is it confident or overestimating one's ability - "Southern Weekend"
Not only the media has hotly discussed, many blog celebrities have also joined the discussion.
Zhang Chen is already the number one director in China, but he still can't stand a saying by a well-known Hollywood filmmaker.
Harvey sang Zhang Chen, and immediately many people followed him sang Zhang Chen.
In Xingchen Entertainment, the secretary hurriedly knocked on the door and pushed the door open without waiting for Dong Jianqiang to reply and broke in: "Manager Dong, there are more negative comments about Director Zhang..."
"Take me and see~" Dong Jianqiang nervously read various newspapers...
One after another, without exception, all of them were criticized by Zhang Chen and "Pacific Rim". Various analyses were reasonable and well-founded...
The most exaggerated thing is that even financial magazines are discussing this matter.
This is no longer just news in the entertainment industry, it seems to be moving towards social topics. "This bunch of bastards will only follow their American father to sing flags and shout..."
When they saw many well-known authors and experts expressed negative opinions, Dong Jianqiang was so angry that he was so angry. "Also, many media have called to interview Director Zhang..."
The secretary said again.
"Turn off all~"
Tong Jianqiang rubbed the corners of his eyes, which were sore: "When will Director Zhang come back?"
"I have arranged for the driver to pick up the plane this afternoon~"
No mistakes, one song, one content, one in 6-9, one book, one bar, one bar!
"Well, don't respond to the public for the time being. When someone asked, it was said that Director Zhang went to South Korea to negotiate the preparations for a new movie..."
Tong Jianqiang hoped to use Zhang Chen's Korean film project to divert his attention, but it was useless and everyone didn't care at all.
No one cares if Zhang Chen has made another new movie in South Korea, they just want to know how Zhang Chen is going to respond.
Unlike Xingchen Entertainment, within Huayi Brothers, Wang Zhonglei happily rushed into his brother's office with the newspaper.
"Brother, have you read today's news?"
After entering, I found that Wang Zhongjun was talking to an executive. Hearing this, he glared at him angrily.
"Okay, let's talk about this first~"
"Okay, Mr. Wang, I'll do things first~"
The executive left, and Wang Zhongjun said angrily: "How many times have you said it, this is the company~"
Wang Zhonglei didn't care about being scolded this time, and still pushed the newspapers in his hand to his brother with a look of spring breeze: "Brother, look at it, Zhang Chen is over this time, I don't know why he offended Harvey Wienstein, Wienstein publicly criticized him, haha, it's really a dog bite dog..."
Even if he spoke, he could not hide the excitement in his words.
Wang Zhongjun spread out the newspapers one by one and then looked up after a while: "Have you bought a water army?"
Wang Zhonglei was stunned: "What?"
"Buy a water army, how can you let go of such a good opportunity to beat the dogs in the water?"
"Oh, I'll go right away~"
Wang Zhonglei was secretly annoyed. Why didn’t he remember such an important thing?
At the same time, the Li sisters were stunned. "Xue, what should we do?" Li Lianhua lost her mind for a moment.
I don’t know how to be so kind of me. I just took the team, and Zhang Chen fell?
Li Xue was also worried, but she was the backbone of her sister and couldn't panic.
Low stabilized his emotions, Li Xue comforted: "Sister, don't panic, maybe this is an opportunity. It's better to help you in time than to add icing on the cake. Since we have already taken the team, we have to stand to the end. I'll contact the media immediately. You can express your opinion publicly and support Zhang Chen..."
There are not many smart people like Li Xue.
Before Li Xue contacted the media, Fan Xiaopang had publicly stated that he would support Director Zhang Chen.
【
Director Zhang's strength is unquestionable. Those guys who once tried to slap him in the face ended up being hit by their own faces.
This time I have no doubt that Harvey Wienstein's face would also be beaten into a pig's head.
Some people have questioned before that Director Zhang only knows how to make horror movies. Then Director Zhang filmed "Manslaughter", slapped the other party's face, and then "Hurricane Rescue". Those people were pressed to the ground and rubbed hard. In the near future, "Pacific Rim" will create miracles again. Those guys who swear by Director Zhang, I hope you can still speak so hard at that time...
】
Fan Xiaopang's domineering response immediately caused a wave of support on the Internet, and Zhang Chen's fans liked it crazy below the video.
On the Internet, they are a force that cannot be underestimated.
But it doesn't have much energy in the traditional media field.
Now that's right, someone finally publicly supports Zhang Chen in traditional media.
Hong Kong, Chen Xi even publicly shouted: "Harvey Wienstein is an old hooligan who only knows how to release porn. What he says is like farting, and it is even regarded as a criterion by some people. I despise you old porn critics..."
Tong Jianqiang also made a public statement that Chinese science fiction movies do not require a foreigner to point fingers.
Before Zhang Chen boarded the plane, he received a call from Han Sanping: "Have you returned to China?"
"Not yet, I landed in BJ today."
"Come on my trip first after I come back, and Lao Ren is here with me~"
"Okay."
Lao Ren should be Ren Zhonglun from Shanghai Film Academy, another investor in "Pacific Rim". It seems that the negative remarks in North America still affect them.
In the afternoon, the plane landed in Beijing, and Zhang Chen got into the company to pick up his car.
"Don't go back to the company first, go to Zhongying~"
The driver drove directly to Zhongying, and Zhang Chen met Han Sanping and Ren Zhonglun.
"What's going on in North America?"
"It should be that I said before that he was a liar and specifically cheated on Huaxia Company, so this guy holds a grudge against me."
Zhang Chen didn't want others to discover that the cube was his own company.
The two looked at each other: "What are you going to do?"
Zhang Chen shrugged: "No need to pay attention to him. No matter how much he clamored in North America, it would not affect me. At most, it would have a little impact on the North American box office of "Silent Land", but the new line would not allow him to continue like this..."
Ren Zhonglun: "The problem is that there are many people in China who criticize you in China. You have just returned to China and may not know that all the guys who have sinned in the past have emerged. Public opinion is very unfavorable to you..."
As he said that, Ren Zhonglun pushed a large stack of newspapers, and he didn't need to read them specifically. The front page headlines were all about Zhang Chen.
Zhang Chen flipped a few pages casually...
"Hey, these guys really look at me..."
All kinds of experts and professors jumped out, and all kinds of accusations were awaiting Zhang Chen to never turn over.
