Chapter 445 You also said you don’t know martial arts
Soon after, Wang Zhonglei came to the eldest brother’s office holding a magazine.
"Future actor..." The king glanced at the cover, and then smiled softly.
“He is still far away.”
Wang Zhongjun raised his feet on the table.
"Whether you are an actor or not can be determined not only by your acting skills."
"You must also have good works for you to act in."
"You must also have a relationship with the organizing committee."
“Your work must be included in the selection.”
“Every step here can kill countless people.”
What the king said is correct or not.
Actually, it mainly depends on the awards. Some awards do depend on connections, but some national professional awards cannot be controlled by individuals.
But, the Wang brothers have always been crazy. In their opinion, skill is more important than ability.
"That's right, even though this kid is so serious, if something really happens, he will disappear without a trace in minutes." Xiao Wang also nodded in agreement.
“However, his trip to Cannes is like adding another layer of gold.”
"And although he didn't win an award, the movie he filmed won an award, which is a step up to a higher level."
The king also agreed with my brother's statement.
"What is the situation of the company's management now?" Xiao Wang asked again.
"We've probably stabilized... this woman Wang Jinhua!" the king said angrily.
“What about the company’s artists? Have you talked about them?”
"We talked about it for a round." Xiao Wang replied.
The two brothers deal with each other internally and externally. Of course, the elder brother has the final say.
“It’s generally pretty stable.”
“But you also know that these people are just outsiders.”
“We still need to promise some works and performance opportunities. There is also business to really stabilize.”
"Well." The king took off his glasses and rubbed his eyebrows: "Then the problem now is to re-boost the investment market's confidence in Hua Yi."
"So." Wang Zhonglei pointed with his eyes Refers to the magazine he brought.
“If at this time, an artist with enough fame is willing to join Huayi with great fanfare.”
“That can change public opinion and appease investors and the company. ”
We’re okay!
Even he is willing to come to Huayi at this time, which shows that our company is still very powerful!
This is the effect that the big and small kings want.
"I understand what you mean, but you are only half right." The king sat up straight.
“Not only people, but also works.”
“With both celebrities and masterpieces, under two banners, we can successfully survive this crisis.”
< br>
"Xiao Gang's new film has been finalized, and the script will be sent for review soon."
"Oh!" After hearing this, the king perked up.
Feng Xiaogang is Hua Yi's pillar of support. He has a new film to release, so the work will be stable.
"And I specifically discussed with Xiaogang that now we can no longer make short-length movies like "Big Shot" and "Endless"."
"We have to make a masterpiece! ”
"You are right!" The king agreed with his brother.
“The Promise made by Cheng Kaige is a super masterpiece with big scenes and big stars.”
“Since Lao Mouzi finished filming “Hero”, the market has changed "
"We have to keep up!"
"Yes." Seeing that his brother recognized him, Xiao Wang continued: "Cheng Kaige is doing it with great momentum."
"Obviously he wants to surpass Lao Mouzi, his younger brother who once carried machines for him."
"So the amount of investment in "The Promise" this time is even higher than the box office of "Heroes"."
>"Cheng Kaige's goal should be to break the box office record of Chinese movies."
Lao Mouzi once served as a photographer in "Yellow Earth", which was Poet Chen's debut and famous film .
During the filming process, Lao Mouzi once gave Director Chen a lot of advice, especially in terms of image and vision.
Director Chen's reply was: "If you have the ability, just make one yourself."
He ignored Lao Mouzi at all.
Then...he discovered that the old man who carried the machine for him had become a front-line leader.
Then, when Lao Mouzi was filming "Red Sorghum", the leading actor Jiang Wen kept asking him to talk about this and that every day. All kinds of ideas were flying everywhere, which annoyed Lao Mouzi.
So, Lao Mouzi said to Jiang Wen: "You have such an idea, why not make one yourself."
Then a few years later, Lao Mouzi discovered that the loud-voiced actor had become the leading "weird" director in the country.
Anyway, they just worked together one after another, stimulating several great directors.
"Okay, Xiaogang originally wanted to transform, but we also need a blockbuster movie to boost morale." The king has also been forced to become anxious recently, and he has a bad temper.
"What is the name of the new film and how much investment will it cost?"
"It's called "The Night Banquet". It's mainly based on "Hamlet" and "Thunderstorm". It's guaranteed to be a famous work, so it's safer to adapt it. .”
"The cost is 20 million..."
"So little?" The king asked doubtfully.
“U.S. dollars.” Wang Zhonglei said slowly.
Wang Zhongjun was silent for a long time after listening.
“If the company spends so much money, the risk is too high, and there are too many places to use the money recently, which will affect other investments and win over people.”
"Yes, so I plan to find a company to cooperate with." Xiao Wang returned.
Then he laughed again.
"I was thinking just now that this would be a coincidence."
"What a coincidence?" The king looked at him doubtfully.
“Now that the work is available, we still need a heavyweight to join us.”
"Well-known middle-aged actors have either already had a company, or they are with Sister Hua."
"Among the younger generation, there are only a few people who are about to expire or have no company."
< br>“Originally Nie Yuan was very good, but he signed Ciwen.”
“Huang Xiaoming is also good, but to be honest, compared with Zhang Yuan, he is far behind.”
“ "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has not been aired yet. If it is aired, his popularity can still be mentioned."
"So after all calculations, in terms of popularity, strength, and follow-up potential, he is the most suitable."
Wang Zhongjun nodded, that's right.
“And what he wants to sign with us is not a brokerage agreement, but a gambling contract.”
“If it is a brokerage agreement, we have to promise a lot of benefits and cash in part immediately. This requires It takes a lot of resources.”
“But we are short of money now, so we still need to invest in “The Night Banquet””
"But the gambling agreement is different. We hardly need to redeem resources, right?"
Wang Zhongjun realized that this is what my brother meant.
From this perspective, it’s really a coincidence.
At a stall that is short of money, here comes one that doesn’t cost too much.
“By the way, how is the research on that betting contract going?”
"It is necessary to increase the revenue amount and add a lot of terms." The king replied: "But it is not unfeasible."
"And according to my friend's estimate, if we can do it in three to four years After listing, Huayi’s market value should exceed 4 billion!”
Xiao Wang’s eyes lit up when he heard his brother’s words.
I will also be a billionaire by then!
“The question is, how many shares are we willing to pay for this gambling contract.”
"Secondly, put aside the contract."
"The key to the problem is that if Zhang Yuan is just a collaborator, he is not our artist."
"Then how should we control him? "
"I don't like uncontrolled artists." Wang Zhongjun leaned back on the boss's chair: "He must be tied with a rope!"
"Let him be ours even though he is not one of us. It can still be controlled by us.”
The two kings were thinking and calculating...
While they were discussing, Zhang Yuan had already landed at the Pudong Airport in the magical capital.
This airport was opened in 1999. The second runway was officially opened two months ago, but now it is still full of flights and overcrowded.
The busy aviation industry is also evidence of the take-off of China Brokerage.
As soon as he got off the plane, he took a car and rushed from the easternmost part of the Magic City to the westernmost Songjiang Shengqiang Film and Television Base.
After driving for two hours, he arrived outside the film and television city.
At this time, in the film and television city, the construction of the Jinmen scenes in "Fearless Fearless" has been completed.
From restaurants, theaters, arenas to the Huo family’s old house, everything is built one by one, and there is no hint of fakeness.
Walking on the set is like traveling through time and space, as if you have returned to a hundred years ago.
As soon as he arrived at the set, he received a phone call.
"Zhang Yuan, the song has been written!"
Chou left Ms. Hou behind for the past two days, concentrated on work, and completed the recording of the song at an amazing speed.
I urged Fang Wenshan to go into his house in the middle of the night with the music, which almost scared him and made him run away.
"So soon, are you sure?" "Of course, it's a rare opportunity to write a song for Li Lianjie...what about that." As this person spoke, he suddenly hesitated.
"Speak directly if you have anything to say."
"Can I sing to Li Lianjie in person and let him listen to it."
In fact, stars are also people, they also have idols, and they also chase stars.
Just like Jay Chou now.
Can Zhang Yuan not understand what he meant? Let him wait and go find the location of the camera crew first.
You have to ask Li Lianjie about this, and you can't lead people to him rashly.
Wandering around, I came to the set of an old house.
Seeing that filming was taking place, Zhang Yuan walked over quietly, not daring to disturb.
Look in through the carvings on the window.
A lean middle-aged man was standing in front of two stone piers.
A two-finger-thick bluestone slab was placed on the stone pier, and a folded yellow linen cloth was spread on the stone pier.
Zhang Yuan squinted and immediately recognized the middle-aged man.
This is Zou Zhaolong, who plays Li Lianjie's father Huo Endi in "Fearless".
At this moment, only a loud "bang" was heard.
Zou Zhaolong, who was standing in front of the bluestone, suddenly took out his hand and slapped the stone with all his strength.
Then there was a click!
The stone slab broke into two sections instantly.
"Chang Wei, you said you don't know martial arts!" Zhang Yuan said secretly from the side.
After he finished taking pictures of the slate, a little boy ran from the door to the camera, looking at the broken slate with a look of surprise.
This little boy should be the actor who plays the young Fearless.
"Stuck!"
Yuan Hepin, who was in charge of the martial arts show, shouted to stop.
Zhang Yuan then stepped forward.
“Oh, you’re here!” When Master Ba saw him, a smile appeared on his wrinkled old face.
“Where’s Brother Jie?”
"Filming a literary drama on another set." Master Ba patted him on the shoulder: "Are you looking for him?"
"Yes."
At this moment, Zou Zhaolong also came to the camera, I want to see how I performed just now.
Zhang Yuan saw this old man and hurriedly said hello. After all, he was a senior.
“Hello, Brother Long.”
"Hello, hello..."
Unexpectedly, this man smiled and greeted him very politely.
Zhang Yuan was really afraid that he would kick him far away, after all, he was born with supernatural power.
"My master has mentioned you, and I'm glad to meet you." Zou Zhaolong hugged him, and Zhang Yuan was afraid that the other party would choke him.
Master?
You will find out after you ask.
Zou Zhaolong’s master is Hong Jinbao!
This guy started martial arts at the age of 12 and has been working as a substitute.
But this business is not only tiring, but the money earned is actually not much compared to the injuries suffered.
Especially looking at the actors who are their own stand-ins, they can make money easily and become famous, how can you not be envious?
Just keep doing it like this, with no end in sight.
Until one day, he met Hong Jinbao while filming.
Big Brother still has the style of a boss.
Accept him as an apprentice, provide him with food and shelter, and introduce him to jobs.
Song Qingshu in Li Lianjie's "The Master of the Demon Cult" was introduced to him by Hong Jinbao.
Without Hong Jinbao, he would not have been appreciated by Master Ba, and they went to Hollywood to film "The Matrix" together.
Speaking of this play, in fact, the Wachowski brothers, or rather, they should be called sisters later, after all, they have changed their gender.
The two brothers were looking for Li Lianjie, the protagonist of "Fearless" at the beginning.
But after three months of filming, I had to go to the United States to work for six months.
Because there were only three months left, the Wachowski brothers asked Lao Li to cooperate with the use of motion capture technology to record all his fighting movements into the computer, and the copyright belonged to the United States.
When Lao Li heard this, he recorded all my efforts into the computer?
Your special effects technology is already advanced. After I record it for you, the copyright will return to you. From now on, I will use special effects for all my productions. Will I still have food to eat?
He therefore rejected the other party's invitation.
In fact, Hollywood’s previous action scenes and crotch stretching looked silly and silly.
The time when significant improvement was achieved was after a group of Xiangjiang martial artists led by Yuan Hepin entered Hollywood and the Americans knew about it.
Oh, that’s how the fight scenes are shot!
During the Chinese New Year last year, Hong Jinbao called all his friends to have dinner together, of course it was Zou Zhaolong.
At the dinner table, he talked about a young man in mainland China who could fight and was sensible.
Therefore, Chang Wei... Mr. Zou recognized Zhang Yuan.
"Would you like coffee? I'll make you a cup."
Not only is this person polite, he even has a bit of a family man vibe, which is in great contrast to his screen image.
"No, no, no, I'm just here to say hello, so I won't delay your filming."
After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he wanted to leave, but turned around.
"Master Ba, I think the scene just now was too straightforward."
"Huh?" Yuan Hepin looked at him: "How do you say it?"
"After Teacher Zou finished laying the slate, the children ran to see it, and it seemed peaceful."
"If Teacher Zou turned around and left after playing the slate, the slate would not move."
"But for the children When I ran over to check, it suddenly broke. Does it better reflect the character's profound skills?"
"Hiss..." Yuan Hepin lowered his head and thought.
"I just said it casually, don't take it seriously." After that, he left to find Li Lianjie.
"What he said seems to make sense." Master Ba thought for a long time and rehearsed it in his mind.
"Zhaolong, how about we do it again?"
The camera turns on again.
This time Zou Zhaolong slapped the stone slab with his palm, then turned around and left.
The young actor quietly ran to the stone slab and squatted down to check. At this moment, there was an explosion and the stone slab cracked and collapsed to the ground!
"Stuck!"
Yuan Hepin watched it several times and then clapped his hands.
"Good!"
"Obviously better than the previous version."
"Not only does it show that Horndy has deeper skills, but it also highlights that he has a lot of talent in both boxing and life. The character of leeway.”
[Received thanks from Yuan Hepin, martial arts instructor +1! 】
After watching the replay, Zou Zhaolong looked up and looked in the direction Zhang Yuan had left.
“No wonder Master keeps saying that he is great.”
“It seems that it’s not about his great kung fu, but his great mind.”
“You can tell me just by looking at it. My opinion, it’s even better after the changes.”
...
On the other side, Zhang Yuan came to another window and looked in through the window grilles.
This sight made him feel dazed.
“Zou Zhaolong can teleport.”
Squinting carefully, I discovered that it was a black and white picture of Zou Zhaolong...
"Dad."
"Your punches weren't fast enough back then."
"Not hard enough!"
Li Lianjie, with a stern look on his face, stood in front of a bunch of tablets Speak the lines loudly.
His current image is completely different from the submissive, gloomy and full of emotions he had when filming in the terraced fields.
A proud and proud image.
This version of Huo Yuanjia is known as the first person to "train his father before his death".
Now, what is being filmed now is this scene.
After the filming, Zhang Yuan stepped forward to say hello.
"Hey, Zhang Yuan is here." Li Lianjie greeted him with a smile: "My shoulders just happen to be a little sore."
Zhang Yuan: ...
Let me just say that he asked me to come to Shanghai to film a movie in order to improve my massage skills.
Zhang Yuan didn't refuse, so he pressed him up.
Because he also has his own purpose in coming here.
After all, Lao Li had many disasters during the filming of "Fearless".
And I am here to help him cope with the disaster!
