Chapter 386, Ip Man is coming soon
When all the results come out.
There is no need to say much about the turmoil in the industry.
In fact, there is also a dark horse in the female character group, Liu Qianqian, compared with Chen Haohao and Lin Qingru.
The status is not enough.
Her acting skills were slightly lacking, but she still managed to successfully get the role.
But Li Yun was not surprised by this.
It even feels a little taken for granted.
Because she is the most beautiful.
Appearance is also a powerful weapon for an actor.
In Li Yun's eyes, Liu Qianqian's Diao Chan is much more beautiful than Lin Qingru and Chen Haohao.
Although it is said that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
It's just expressing my subjective opinion.
But Li Yun's subjective opinion is that Liu Qianqian was at her peak during her youth, and she is simply beautiful.
Very beautiful.
At least Li Yun felt that he deserved the title.
There was even some happiness in him, because the person he was acting opposite was her.
Li Yun also felt happy from the bottom of his heart.
joy.
Li Yun was just about to call to congratulate him when Liu Qianqian’s QQ message came.
"Great! I'm Diao Chan!"
"Congratulations. But this isn't the heroine role you like."
Diao Chan is indeed not a heroine in the universal sense. She is even slightly inferior to Xiao Qiao and Da Qiao in terms of charm other than appearance.
Diao Chan’s label is very simple, that is, the number one beauty.
Charm the hero and make him do everything for her.
Live and die for her.
Among the most charming women in the novel Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Diao Chan is undoubtedly the number one.
So, Chen Haohao and Lin Qingru are the two queens of TV dramas.
They wanted to prove their charm through Diao Chan.
As a feminine charm.
They both want to argue that they are more beautiful and more attractive than the other.
But he didn't expect that he would be intercepted by Liu Qianqian who suddenly appeared.
It was really something that neither of them could have imagined.
"Whether or not it's a heroine has nothing to do with the role, but with the actor. Isn't the Three Kingdoms a story about heroes? There are both male and female heroes, right? I can do that too. I can find the charm that others can't find. This is what you taught me, Brother Li."
That's true.
The charm of a character belongs to the script and also to the way each actor interprets it. The different points present different charms of the character.
Liu Qianqian believed, or was confident, that the Diao Chan she became could truly have her own charm.
She also did not deny that beauty was a wonderful thing for a woman.
But at least.
In the appearance that I am proud of.
I can give this character a deeper charm.
As charming as anyone else.
That's interesting, isn't it?
At this time, Liu Qianqian on the other side said.
When we were shooting.
You can rehearse it first. Since our homes are so close, you may have an advantage over others in getting a feel for the role.
Li Yun also only answered one sentence.
OK.
The feeling of Diao Chan and Lu Bu.
The hype around the new Three Kingdoms continues, and when the cast is finalized, it’s time to start filming.
The crew had already started working at this time.
Basically, once all the groups are ready, this gluttonous feast at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty will begin.
Just one month later, we will gather at Hengdian Film Studios.
During this period, Li Yun is also about to star in a commercial film as the leading actor.
Ip Man.
Master Ye who is good at attacking the bottom lane.
A martial arts grandmaster, a martial arts master of his generation.
His film will also be released.
During this period, the pre-promotion and publicity has been going on a lot. Although The Warlords has often overshadowed the others, Zhen Zidan's reputation is still not much inferior.
It also has its own box office appeal and a fixed audience.
A Hong Kong kung fu film with real fighting scenes.
What you have is your own fixed audience.
Chinese martial arts, Wing Chun, Ip Man, Grandmaster.
When these words are put together.
Indeed, they all brought some good hot spots.
There are both good and bad opinions on this hot topic. There are also many comments that say that the shortcomings are not good. Is this just a waste of patriotic sentiment? National quintessence, national martial arts.
Its reputation on the mainland has become mixed.
From the Qigong masters of that time.
As for the martial arts masters performing on some of the messy TV shows nowadays, their performances are indeed somewhat questionable.
How come your fists are so weak yet you can beat twenty people at once?
Are you fighting undercover?
"There's a saying on the internet right now, 'black and red are also red'. It seems like this Ip Man is probably going down this path, using Chinese martial arts as a gimmick, which can easily lead to slips of the tongue." At this time, Chen Kexin also paid a little attention to Ye Weixin's Ip Man.
At this moment, people on the Warlords side also started discussing the movie Ip Man.
The creators here all agree.
This is the low-profile version of the pledge.
An even worse cast and even worse investment and promotion.
A simpler and more understandable plot mode.
Yes, it seems very simple and crude from here.
For experienced moviegoers, they know what the plot is going to be like at the first glance at the promotional materials.
The invincible Wing Chun is going to beat the Japanese.
The national quintessence is about to show its power.
It has become a routine, and such routines are no longer new to today's audiences.
Chen Kexin felt that she would never film such a cliché script again.
It's so tacky that it makes people feel a little bit funny.
Of course, Chen Kexin wouldn't think that the box office performance of this movie would be too bad. He still had to express his recognition of the strength of Zhen Zidan and his group of martial arts instructors.
Especially Zhen Zidan, if he had chosen to go to Hollywood, he would now be a figure on the same level as the Kung Fu Emperor.
All we can say is that the times did not choose him to be a hero.
Or it could be the result of him not choosing the right answer.
To some extent, choice is more important than hard work.
Their strength should not be underestimated, with a veteran film emperor in charge of the drama and a hot new star actor.
Rising star.
In the past, it was often used to describe those new talents who shine brightly. Li Yun's image and status in the Hong Kong circle is that of a rising star actor in the circle.
Acting skills, status, and influence should be considered comprehensively.
This is Li Yun's status in Hong Kong circles.
The acting is indeed pretty good.
However, the Xiangjiang circle is a relatively exclusive circle.
Many times, people only recognize the influence within their own circle, and your influence in external circles is actually not very useful as a reference.
Of course, this outer circle does not refer to Hollywood.
Hollywood's achievements have common value in film circles all over the world.
No matter what you say or what you say, don't make fun of Hollywood.
The influence of Hollywood is unquestionable.
As a pass to the Hollywood world, it works anywhere in the country.
Like Li Lianjie, achievements in the Hollywood circle are the best pass.
So the current situation is that there is a superstar in "The Warlords", a former most handsome man in Asia, and one of the Four Heavenly Kings.
On the other hand, Ip Man promoted the black and red label of "national quintessence".
It has a positive label that says it’s a real fight with real people.
There is also a movie emperor leading the way.
Judging from the strength on paper.
They were not even rivals at all, and they even had the misfortune of crashing into each other in the action classification.
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
But there was a car crash.
The unlucky one is Ip Man.
With the lineup on my side, plus the reputation of the Kung Fu Emperor, I don’t know how this project can lose. Or maybe this is a project that cannot lose.
The lineup is really too strong.
It is certain to be the box office champion.
However, while the director is full of confidence, the production and distribution sides are still under some pressure.
Nothing else to say.
Jet Li is just too expensive.
As the famous Kung Fu Emperor.
He is not without disadvantages.
His biggest disadvantage is his shockingly high salary.
One hundred million.
If you don’t know, you might think it’s money laundering.
"Your budget is really sufficient. You can even give a Hollywood actor 100 million. It seems that you don't disapprove of Hollywood."
At this time inside Huaying, Wang Ming was looking at his opponent in front of him with sarcasm.
This woman, with her noble appearance and manners, looked to be no more than 35 years old.
He is Wang Chen’s biggest competitor within the company.
The candidate for the next president of Huaying will also be the person who decides the overall future direction of Huaying.
The two men belong to different factions, one is the head of foreign investment, the other is the leader of domestic investment. Although they have similar positions, because of their different routes, the differences and contradictions between the two almost lead to a plain business war.
But fortunately, both of them are decent people, and in the end the situation did not further escalate the conflict.
But what is undeniable is that.
The two are absolutely incompatible with each other and cannot accommodate each other in their own world.
Xie Qingya looked at Wang Chen in front of him calmly and said, "Mr. Wang, don't bother with this. Even if I spend a fortune to buy horse bones, it has nothing to do with you."
"Nothing, nothing. I was just thinking about Miss Xie. If you are really interested in Hollywood projects, you can join our department. Our department is always open and welcomes you."
Wang Chen said with a half-smile: "Compared to this Kung Fu Emperor who returned from Hollywood, don't we in Hollywood have a more artistic atmosphere?"
The two of them had engaged in a verbal battle countless times, and this was just one of them.
But overall.
Inside HuaDa Film and Television.
Wang Chen's say will be much higher than Xie Qingya's.
It is basically in a state of being suppressed everywhere.
after all.
When it comes to performance, Xie Qingya is indisputably inferior to Wang Chen.
The profit margin of the business department with internal investment is completely inferior to that of the introduced department.
Even if it is a half-state-owned enterprise, its performance should be respected to the greatest extent.
Even if Xie Qingya was unhappy about this, if she really wanted to come up with something to refute Wang Chen.
I really can't refute it.
Are you saying he is a comprador?
But in fact, the country’s support for the domestic entertainment film industry is not small.
It’s just that I haven’t been able to produce any results, but this is not really a false fact.
I really can't convince others with my strength.
Therefore, the allocation of resources and the advantages of the position of president to him are both very objective.
"Wang Chen, Wang Chen, don't you understand what it means to learn from the foreigners in order to defeat them? You believe that the art those foreigners brought to you can bring you to the pinnacle of Chinese film, but I would rather believe that when we learn their advanced technology, we can catch up with and surpass them."
This is also the reason why Xie Qingya is willing to buy horse bones with cash and devote so many resources to Li Lianjie.
Even almost half of the budget of a movie was put on him.
Give him a paycheck.
"You plan to laugh at me, then I'll let you see how we win." At this time, Xie Qingya knocked on the table.
She didn't take any of the movies in this period seriously.
Including that Ip Man.
An old-fashioned man who chose the wrong path back then, with his old-fashioned ideas, a director who can only make routine police and gangster films, and an actor with little box office appeal.
Real people fighting, if this is really the selling point.
Shaw Brothers didn’t do that back then.
Times have changed.
This time, the gimmick of Chinese martial arts was even added.
Do you really not know what the reputation of Chinese martial arts is now? Of course, Xie Qingya did not regard Ip Man as an opponent.
This time, my only opponent in this token of surrender is myself.
In other words, they are the robbers from Hollywood who have plundered wealth in mainland China and Hong Kong throughout the ages.
Learn from the barbarians to defeat them. The works I shoot using your technology will be a shot in the arm for domestic entertainment cinemas.
We are not afraid of them.
Not afraid of you.
Let me show you what excellent works are.
The release and promotion of Ip Man are all Hong Kong's business.
At this time, Li Yun had also booked a flight to Hong Kong early.
This is the first time that I have starred in a purely commercial work.
As a director, as a leading actor.
Commercial movies are different from other things. There is only one factor to judge whether it is successful.
That's the box office performance.
That's the rate of return.
Perhaps this is what it means to have returned to the essence of the film and entertainment industry. This place is a place of fame and fortune.
You want both fame and profit.
That’s the most important thing about this place.
Everything depends on the box office.
Profitability.
“I will write your name in the director’s column when the film is released. Regardless of whether it will be accepted by the audience or not, it is a film we created together.”
"Thank you for your help."
This means that Li Yun not only receives film remuneration, but also has his own share of the director's profits.
The circle of directors is very detailed, and there is a share of the box office revenue.
Ye Weixin was very calm about this and didn't even have too many expectations for the box office.
When I talked to Li Yun on the phone, I didn't feel much pressure before the release of the movie.
This is not because it seems more like his sentiment towards real-life fighting and Chinese martial arts. If he was really profit-driven, he would not have conflicted the release date of this show with The Warlords.
Instead, they will choose to temporarily avoid the spotlight.
But he didn't.
Maybe it's still a bit impulsive.
When it came to the fate of Zhen Zidan and Li Lianjie back then, everyone felt it was a pity.
If Zhen Zidan had also gone to Hollywood back then, would his fate have been different?
But Ye Weixin felt.
Hollywood, no matter how good he is, he is someone else's. (End of this chapter)
