Chapter 332 Teacher Ma’s Kindness
In the film and television industry, there are many ways for actors to become famous overnight.
Carrier may be a big hit drama.
It may also be a popular variety show.
Or it may be a movie with high box office and high reputation.
Of course, there may also be movies with high box office but low reputation.
Just like "Port Road", the watershed of this embarrassing series!
Although the producers of this drama have repeatedly clarified that it has nothing to do with "囧囧", it is a completely new story.
But this drama has been controversial from the beginning.
Especially the reasons why the producer Fang Rongchen Pictures and the original starring Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang changed their roles are even more diverse.
It is said that Li Chen disdained the script written by Xu Zheng himself and cherished Feather and was unwilling to invest in it.
It is said that Huang Bo did not want a salary but wanted a 10% share of the box office.
When Wang Baoqiang heard what Huang Bo was doing, he imitated him and wanted a share of the box office.
Xu Zheng became so angry that he simply left a few people behind and found another investor.
That’s when Light, China Film and Yinghuang stepped in.
Among them, Wang Baoqiang's replacement Bao Beier has been compared with Wang Baoqiang from the beginning.
In comparison, I naturally received a lot of scolding.
But Bao Beier never thought that the way he became famous overnight would actually be scolded.
Bao Beier wants to cry but has no tears.
He said that his acting skills are not as good as Wang Baoqiang’s.
But if he was told Xu Zheng's unspoken rules, he would really vomit blood.
Wang Changtian was very happy about this.
Looking at the young man in front of him who looked like his dead father.
Wang Changtian stood up and walked around the desk, patted Bao Beier on the shoulder and smiled: "As a newcomer, it is better to be scolded than to be ignored."
"Don't take this to heart. , the lost reputation can be recovered later.”
"The most important thing is that "Port Road" was a hit, and you became famous."
Bao Beier came out of Wang Changtian's office in a daze.
Artists under Guangguang Group comforted Bao Beier.
"Director Wang is right. I became famous because I angered Chen Kaige."
"Don't take advantage of yourself and act like a good boy, others will break your head." You don’t have this chance.”
Bao Beier said angrily: "It's not you who are being scolded!"
"Why are all the netizens' cannons focused on me!"
The scoldings on the Internet are divided into two categories.
One is to compare Xu Zheng and Li Chen.
One is to compare Bao Bao'er with Wang Baoqiang.
"Bald Xu is not Little Plum, without Little Plum's amazing talent and beauty; Bao Bao Er is not a baby, without the natural sense of comedy of a baby."
"From the laughter of "People on the Road" The entire episode of "囧" brought tears to my eyes, and at least I laughed, but "The Road to Hong Kong" really made me laugh! "
" Bald Xu wants to start his own business! , it’s a pity that the debut failed.”
“The movie “Hong Kong Road” finally proves what the film crew has always said: it really has nothing to do with Thailand.”
"I went into the cinema because of "Journey to Hong Kong" and "囧囧", and I left the theater midway because of "Journey to Hong Kong"."
"A tribute to Hong Kong films? Sorry, except for a few old Cantonese songs, I really can't taste the Hong Kong flavor."
The collapse of word-of-mouth will inevitably bring about changes in the box office.
Although the hot reputation can also attract some people who have never seen it to go to the cinema to find out.
But after all, most people have exhausted the popularity of this drama in the first week of release.
From the first day of the second week, which was Thursday, the daily box office of this drama dropped to around 10 million.
Compared with the more than 18 million the day before yesterday, it was almost a discount.
No one doubts that the box office of this drama will exceed 200 million, but whether it can exceed 300 million is a question mark.
The overseas box office was also unsatisfactory. The results of small-scale test screenings in countries such as Thailand, the United Kingdom, and Australia were extremely poor. The total box office in the first week was less than 30 million yuan.
The two Huayi brothers did not expect that a movie called "Hong Kong Road" could raise the net worth of their subsidiary Wang Baoqiang.
"Hahaha, Wang Changtian also wants to squeeze into upstream and become a producer. He thinks he is Li Chen, who can turn stone into gold!" Wang Zhonglei swept away the boredom of the past few days.
Finally heard some good news.
Vice President Xu Li also smiled and said: "Anyone with a discerning eye can see the intention of the light, but it's a pity that there are only a few big directors in the industry."
"I heard that he signed the Chen Family Mr. Wang, we have to be on guard.”
“Guangguang is not the only one entering the production field this year. Xiaoma, Starlight, and Starlight International are all eager to try.”
"Especially Pony's Zhong Cube. This woman is very courageous and has a rich resume. This woman is indispensable for the sudden rise of Pony Pictures this year."
Wang Zhonglei is actually deeply impressed by Zhong Cube. .
I even thought of poaching.
But I was afraid that she would be the second Wang Jinghao to lure the wolf into the house.
Of course Wang Zhonglei quickly clarified the rumors on the Internet for Wang Baoqiang.
The reason why I didn't participate in "Hong Kong Road" was entirely due to the schedule and had nothing to do with the salary.
Li Chen ignored the differences between him and Xu Zheng on the Internet.
Concentrating on filming "Passengers", Charlize and Gloria stayed in Beijing for two days.
In addition to guest appearances, Li Chen also arranged for someone to accompany them on a tour of the capital's historic sites.
On the 20th, a group of people including Liu Yifei, Deng Chao, Wang Zhiwen and the first batch of 50 people from the targeted training flew to Los Angeles.
Sina Entertainment News
"The leading actors of "Inception" include newly-minted Oscar winner Gloria, well-known domestic actor Wang Zhiwen, popular artists Liu Yifei, and Deng Chao went to Hollywood to gather today."
"There are also 50 'foreign students' who are composed of children from Beijing Film Studio and some recent graduates from Nortel!"
"According to a person in charge of China Film, this is a joint venture between China Film and Rongchen Pictures. A cooperation plan aimed at reserving talents for the future film special effects industry."
As soon as the news came out, major film and television companies were confused.
There is also a lot of discussion online.
“What is Xiao Lizi going to do? Open a special effects company?”
“No way, with such a big battle, the special effects company is not just joking, it’s just burning money. It’s not an exaggeration.”
“Xiao Lizi has grown. The special effects company is the vane of software and hardware innovation. Even the rich can’t handle it every six months. Only a chaebol or consortium can play the game.”
Li Chen's action made the Hua Yi brothers confused.
"Brother, he doesn't really want to do special effects, does he? Even if he wants to drink milk, there is no need to raise a cow. Is there something wrong with his brain?"
In Wang Zhonglei's view, this kind of thing is completely difficult. Please.
Maybe it will bring down a company’s capital chain.
In recent years, there have been many special effects companies in the Mainland, but to put it bluntly, they are not the same thing as the top special effects companies in Hollywood.
Whether it is the upgrading of software and hardware facilities or the scale of staff and professionalism, it is an exaggeration to say that there is a huge difference.
So there is a very vivid name: Wumao special effects.
Wang Zhongjun thought of something else: "What if he brings in Wanda, Guangguang or others?"
"Don't forget the Hantang Fund, and who is his Rongchen Pictures?" I don’t want to get involved.”
Wang Zhonglei suddenly said: “It’s true, it is said that one person can ascend to heaven, and now even Yang Siwei’s Yixin Media has become a piece of meat.”
China Film’s external relations. Many people paid attention to his speech.
Two of them even consulted professionals for their opinions.
One person is Li Chen’s partner, Wanda’s boss Wang.
The other person is Mr. Alibaba Ma, who he met with Li Chen in Hangzhou before.
Teacher Ma had another idea and asked someone to contact Li Chen.
said that he is also very interested in the special effects company and it would be great if we could cooperate together.
Regarding Teacher Ma's kindness, Li Chen did not refuse anyone who came, and did not say anything to death. He only said that we would talk about it in the future when the time comes.
