Chapter 258 Not optimistic... (3/5)
Many people say that Zhang Ziyi is awesome. Even if she encounters the "three-fold gate" and is hacked by the entire network, she can still fight back with "The Grandmaster" and regain the public's attention...
But compared with her heyday, she is much weaker.
Before the "Three Door" broke out, she had many advertisements, including Armani, Mercedes-Benz, Maybelline, Coca-Cola...
But all of this was lost after the "Three Gate".
Not only that, because of the moral terms... I also lost a lot of money!
International endorsements pay great attention to the reputation of spokespersons.
For example, Mercedes-Benz has strict restrictions. Once a drug abuse and homosexual scandal occurs, it will be considered a breach of contract. Mercedes-Benz can unilaterally terminate the contract and pursue liquidated damages!
The shelf life of female stars is far shorter than that of male stars. If first-line female stars want to maintain their status, they not only have to rely on their works. After all, there are too few real female protagonists produced in Hollywood and Chinese film industry every year.
Few resources mean fierce competition, and it is possible that you can’t get it. The new and old are updated quickly, and there are also sayings that male celebrities are becoming more and more popular as they get older. The renewal of female celebrities is simply a blink of an eye.
Maybe a first-line actress has not had an outstanding work in just one year. Looking back, she found that a group of young actresses had already pounced on her.
If you want to maintain your status, there are several magic weapons for first-tier actresses. The most representative of them are packaging them as feminist fighters, luxury brand endorsements and UN charity ambassadors, etc.
It is generally recognized in the circle that as long as there are first- and second-tier luxury goods endorsements, they will not fall easily.
Therefore, in many cases, the competition for resources is not only about works, but also about endorsements!
This is also the main reason why Yang Mi Mi broke up with a bunch of ‘best friends’ one after another…
...
After hanging up the phone, Zhang Junsheng turned around and asked the director of "My 24 Hours" who was very interested.
"Why do you care so much about this?"
"…Zhang Ziyi was originally in the guest list we have prepared..."
“…What about now?”
"Now she is a little overwhelmed, and no one answers the phone call her..."
Zhang Junsheng was silent for a moment, then said, "Let's turn on the camera first, I'll make a call!"
He wanted to call Wang Shumei, and the two discussed whether they would help Zhang Ziyi, or what benefits would be for her to stand out.
Yes, Zhang Junsheng admires Zhang Ziyi very much...
It's not that easy to break into Hollywood!
What's more, the heroine who is an A-level production, even if Xu Yan is cheating, the "Chun Li" that she has made is only a B-level production...
The barriers that Chinese people face in Hollywood do not stop at language barriers.
Since the Bruce Lee era, Chinese elements seem to have occupied a place in Hollywood, but this is not the case.
In Hollywood mechanisms, Chinese kung fu films or comedy action films are strictly distinguished from serious dramas.
Jack Chen, the most well-known American public, was only regarded as a stunt actor who knew "Chinese Kung Fu". Their fist and foot skills only conveyed and satisfied the Western world's freeze-forming imagination of novel oriental martial arts, which was actually illusory.
Zhang Ziyi's popularity is of course one of the reasons - when this eastern hole crashes into the big screen, it just satisfies another Western fantasy that needs to be filled.
Success once or twice can certainly be attributed to encounters, and strength is three or four times.
Shu Qi turned down "Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dragon" back then because he was scared of the training needed to play the role of Yu Jiaolong...
If Zhang Ziyi had a qualified public relations team at this time, she would have been whitewashed long ago...
It was too easy for her to whitewash her, so she apologized publicly, and then paid for the charity money herself, and donated the same amount of charity money by the way...
If you keep dragging it, wait to fall behind!
In the circle, the competition among actresses far exceeds that of male actors!
Original time and space, after experiencing the "Three Gate", the international reputation of Zhang Ziyi, which finally condensed, was shaky...
At the beginning, the one I found in "Snowflake Secret Fan" was taken away by Li Lianhua;
Even when "The Grandmaster" was filmed, Fan Xiaopang issued a press release several times saying that "Ming Er's role belongs to Fan, but she declined...', uh, to be precise, since she acted in "Very Perfect", Zhang Ziyi has been living in Fan Xiaopang's beauty...
Even though he successfully turned around with "The Grandmaster", every time he made any noise, Du Niang searched casually. The number one was "I saw Zhang Ziyi's big scale, would Wang still marry her?"
Going far...
...
Wang Shumei was a little hesitant: "The company currently has Yan Bingyan and Zhou Xun. Both of them are taking the international acting route, while Xu Yan is fighting in Hollywood all year round..."
It means there is no need...
Signing a Zhang Ziyi can easily cause internal conflicts within the brokerage company...
A company provides limited resources all year round, and even Yuehua can't get much Hollywood production suitable for Chinese actresses.
To provide Yan Bingyan, Zhou Xun, Xu Yan, and to add another Zhang Ziyi...
Moreover, Zhang Ziyi's age is here, and her potential is almost fulfilled - once a domestic actress is over thirty years old, she will be an older actress...
Wang Shumei is not optimistic!
Of course, the main reason she is not optimistic is that Zhang Ziyi has her own agency team and is also a very unprofessional team. If she joins Yuehua Agency, conflicts will definitely break out...
Zhang Junsheng roughly understood: "…So, what you mean is that we don't need to sign Zhang Ziyi?"
"She is not something you can sign if you want... How high is her worth, do you know?"
"...Then let's do it first, don't contact her, I'll call Tang Ningyu..."
After all, Wang Shumei only considers the problem from the perspective of the agent, while Tang Ningyu will consider it from the overall perspective.
"…In fact, she is not worth a lot of value just from the return on investment…"
Tang Ningyu is very good at speaking with data: "So far, her movies have the highest box office in "Hero"... I'm talking about the mainland box office..."
"She's going to be a literary celebrity, acting guy..."
"But literary and artistic celebrities are not worth the money now!" After a pause, Tang Ningyu added: "Of course you can stand up for this matter, but I can't guarantee that many netizens will turn their fingers at you!"
“…Not…”
"Haha, you can try it, and it is very likely to cause stock price fluctuations!"
Zhang Junsheng was still a little hesitant: "She is very famous in the United States!"
"…real?"
"Of course, "Memoirs of Geisha", A-level production, do you think several Chinese actors can get A-level production?"
"That's not OK. Our main camp is always in the mainland!"
Tang Ningyu hesitated for a moment: "Junsheng, if you want to have sex with her, I don't object. Just take confidentiality measures. But I don't think it's a good idea to force yourself at this time."
"…What are you thinking? I just… forget it, I'm dead!"
