Chapter 7 Downshift
Xu Hui probably knew the personalities of a bunch of girls in the harem.
There are ambitious, passionate, and quiet like orchids, showing their hearts, and more traditional, willing to hide behind the scenes...
In his opinion, Sisi was the most unlikely girl who had any conflict with him. She was the kind of girl who didn't care much about her career.
Can feel her love for herself...
The most important thing is that Uncle Long’s threat has been lifted!
So, this sentence is obviously a joke...
"…Si Si, do you know what "The Wasteland" means to me or to Huiwen Tianxia? Once successful, it means that we can participate more in the production of American dramas, which means more meaningful to the actors. I cannot give such an opportunity to outsiders. Even if I agree, the company will not agree!"
This is a fact, no company will give such a good opportunity to an outsider.
Although Lao Hu had some friendship with Xu Hui, he was doing business, so why did he give him such an important opportunity?
"You can let Lao Hu invest himself..."
“…The production cost of an episode is $2 million, how much can he pay?”
According to the production cost, the total cost of "Wilderness" is 12 episodes, with a total cost of US$24 million, and this price can only be considered a medium- and low-cost.
American dramas have made great progress in the past two years, and the production costs have been soaring in various ways. One episode of "Rome" costs 20 million US dollars, so it has been filmed too!
In fact, the plot of "The Wasteland" is not very special, the type is obviously biased towards action and fighting. If it weren't for Wu Jing's unwillingness, Xu Hui would have wanted Wu Jing to...
Asian faces have always rarely played the role in British and American dramas, and there are not many permanent roles. I remember that Yang in "Grey's Anatomy" and Zhou Jinbao in "Super Sensing Detective" have more scenes.
American audiences can accept blacks and Latin Americans as the protagonists, but their acceptance of Asians is really a bit low. At least, there are very few mainstream Asians such as idol dramas, action dramas, and legal dramas, and the appearance of Asian actors they can accept is mostly closer to the Koreans' appearance.
Maybe it is because the Asians in Americans' impression are all single-eyelids, square faces, and yellow skin. If you look for this feature, Koreans dominate if they don't have plastic surgery...
"Hey, Lao Hu started to suspend work for two years in June last year and prepared to perform dramas..."
"…He asked him to leave Tang Ren a long time ago, so he would be disobedient!"
Lao Hu is really sad and has a strong sense of self-esteem!
The eldest brother Cheng promoted him and appointed him to star in the TV series version of "Myth" and the subsequent "Xinhai Revolution", and also brought Lao Hu to play with him.
But Lao Hu is Tang Ren's No. 1 brother after all. As a company specializing in producing and producing TV series, he cannot let the No. 1 brother stay away...
In addition, after Tang Ren's rise, he obviously offended many time-honored brands in the circle. The scripts that Lao Hu can choose are basically screened for several rounds, and he is not the male lead...
The most important thing is that the "Xinhai Revolution" suffered a great loss!
The total cost is 150 million, and the box office is only 58 million. Even if the surrounding revenue, TV, Internet, audio-visual copyright, and sponsorship are added, the patch will be only 30 million, and the loss will be at least 100 million!
Lao Hu is not Zhao Youting, Ruan Jingtian, he messed up "The Warriors' Gate" and "Blood Drops", and there are still a bunch of big productions coming to him, so Lao Hu is not good. As a pure mainland actor, he is excluded and cannot get good resources. This is a consensus!
Not all mainland actors have connections like Huang Xiaoming!
Of course, if he was willing to leave Tang Ren and hand over the agency contract to Huiwen World, even if he was affiliated with Huiwen and set up his own studio, he probably wouldn't have few movie resources...
Unfortunately, if he was willing to leave Tang Ren, he would not be Hu Ge!
"well…"
Sisi sighed, not knowing how to follow up...
"What are your plans this year?"
"…I don't have any plans. If I have a good script, I will accept it. If I don't have a good script, I will shoot advertisements. Yes, do business!"
Uh, Sisi and Yaya cooperate to run a purchasing agent business, and basically she is only responsible for investing money and then getting the share...
Is this a business also called it?
"If there is no good script, just follow me. I'm missing a producer!"
"Producer? I don't..."
"No, learn slowly, I don't think you are stupid."
...
Just when Xu Hui and Liu Sisi were in various romances, the 30-day "New Dragon Inn" was released...
There are too many movies released during the New Year holiday, and Huiwen Company alone has two movies. "New Dragon Gate" was released, which is to allow "Golden Robbery" to occupy more screenings. As of the release, the final box office of "New Dragon Gate Inn" was frozen at 1.285 billion, which failed to surpass "The Lion King's Battle". However, as the first part of the "Lion Gate" series, it has already made a good start.
"The Flowers of War" released at the same time is much more miserable. The cumulative box office in the mainland is 490 million yuan, and the key overseas copyright sales are basically in a stagnant stage. North America is waiting for the Golden Globe Awards and the final verdict of the Oscars...
The box office in a single day has fallen below 200,000. If it weren't for the Golden Globe Awards, it would have been released!
Even so, it is quite difficult to break 500 million. After all, three Hollywood blockbusters have come to commit crimes in January this year. "Mission Impossible 4", "Detective Sherlock Holmes 2", and "Central Adventures 2"...
In terms of new paintings, Zhang Weipin has returned from North America. I don’t know how he talked to Zhang Yi, but it is obvious that he is making a decision!
I believe that once the award ceremony of "The Flowers of Flowers" fails in the award season, what is waiting for Zhang Yimou will be a series of scandals!
"Boss, the box office is now 492 million. Should we give it a push?"
"Push? What's pushing? I'm out of money!"
In order to film "The Flowers of Flowers", Zhang Weipin was also considered to have lost all his family property. He took out all the company and houses for mortgage loans. After all, he is not a monetary...
Moreover, I never thought that "The Flowers of Flowers" really did not exceed 1 billion...
At the beginning, his goal was to break the domestic box office record of "Avatar"...
"But tomorrow is the Golden Globe Award. If we can win a box office before the Golden Globe Awards, the box office driving force of "The Flowers of War" will also have Director Zhang's personal reputation..."
"Get out! Don't ask me about Zhang, get out!"
Zhang Weipin directly bombarded the secretary!
Sitting in the office chair a little dejectedly, staring at the ceiling.
The new painting company is full of Zhang Yimou's works, starting from "Say It Well" to "The Flowers of War"...
There is also a group photo of Zhang Weipin and Zhang Yimou.
Now looking at the two people smiling brightly on the wall, Zhang Weipin suddenly felt very ironic!
Chapter completed!
