The ever-changing landscape of the entertainment industry is as unpredictable as the weather in winter, even though the sky is clear.

For a moment, the dark clouds were dense, oppressive, suffocating, and thunder was heard in the silent place. This lonely silence was even more difficult to resist. In the blink of an eye, heavy snowflakes could fall down one after another, willfully. It makes you dumbfounded like a child.

The big names have always been following the trend and wanted to make a big splash, but they didn't expect that Wu Yusen's big Hollywood production "Wind Talker" would be released, which surprised many people. Just when everyone was eagerly looking forward to "Wind Talker" , after all, it is a big Hollywood production, with a production cost of 120 million, which is enough to make people want to go to the cinema.

But I didn't expect that the [big names] had no intention of sitting still and waiting for death. The overwhelming physical propaganda roared in, like a mountain falling apart.

Movies that ordinary people watch are naturally exciting. Although Wu Yusen's "Wind Talker" is menacing and wants to dominate the world, Feng Xiaogang's "Big Shot" is at least not inferior to Wu Yusen's in terms of momentum.

After such lively publicity, everyone's expectations for these two movies are now even stronger.

The market's confidence has been ignited.

At this moment, Chairman Liu and Dong Ping are both worried about this matter, but Wu Yusen is not worried at all. This is the fourth Hollywood movie he has directed, and the first three were all high box office hits. works, therefore, he is very confident in his movies.

An investment of 120 million is something not all directors can get.

Therefore, at this moment, Wu Yusen said with a sense of punishment: "Don't worry about this, isn't it just propaganda? It just depends on the formation. I will take pictures of Nicolas Cage and others when the time comes, and I will ensure that our limelight will be better than [big names] 】Much better.

Feng Xiaogang's movies may be somewhat attractive to Chinese audiences, but I think Hollywood gunfight movies are even more attractive to audiences. This time Nicolas Cage's salary alone is 18 million, and he almost became a member of the 20 million salary club. How much money did Feng Xiaogang invest in his movie? Is it enough to bring Nicolas Cage over? "

It seems, it seems, this is impossible, at least no one in the country has such a big hand. Of course, everyone must guarantee a premise, that is, if Ye Ming is not crazy. Anyway, it is impossible for Feng Xiaogang's film investment to invite a Hollywood star like Nicolas Cage.

Therefore, this is also Wu Yusen’s confidence. At this time, Chairman Liu and Dong Ping relaxed a little. This matter seemed, perhaps, indeed true for Hollywood superstars.

Chairman Liu nodded, somewhat regaining his confidence and said, "You really should have confidence in this matter. The New Film Alliance doesn't have such a formation yet, and I didn't expect it to be possible in my hands. Director Wu is right. , our Hollywood blockbusters, will they be afraid of Feng Xiaogang's movie? Let them dance for two days, and they will cry sometimes."

Wu Yusen also nodded very confidently and said: "This is inevitable, and I believe that after this movie, Nicolas Cage's salary will also have a huge breakthrough. After 20 million, this is not possible So many questions.”

For a Hollywood movie star, the box office of the previous movie is directly related to the salary of the next movie, or whether someone invites him to make a movie.

Therefore, Wu Yusen is confident that this movie will have a high box office. With an investment of 120 million, if it does not have a box office of 300 million, will it be embarrassing to say that it will make money? Time is like water in the sea. If you squeeze it, there will be nothing left.

Time flies so fast. At Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, Guan Zhilin walked into the VIP lounge with his agent Kemi.

At this moment, Kemi was still chattering a little like a talkative woman: "Linlin, I'm not talking about you. Anyway, you have already finished acting in the movie [Big Shot]. What's the big deal whether you go to the premiere or not?" , even if they say you won't go, what can they do? They just say that we won't cooperate with the publicity, and they dare not give us the remaining remuneration and let Brother Cheng Long ask for it. Let's see if they dare not to give it. ."

At this time, Kemi's view is basically the view of most people who have just woken up. Hong Kong celebrities are generally more arrogant towards mainland people, and have a feeling of being superior to others.

At this moment, Cheng Long is the president of the Actors Guild. Therefore, at this time, if Guan Zhilin, as a member, does not receive subsequent remuneration, then with Cheng Long's appeal, it is better to come over. easy. The Hong Kong Actors Guild is said to be very protective of its members.

As for the mainland, after learning this trick, it is not very good, and the effect is hard to say. Although Ye Ming is also a member of the Actors Guild, he simply said that he did not take such a thing seriously.

Guan Zhilin shook his head and said: "Kemi. You have to remember one thing. In terms of acting, I am not Zhang Manyu's opponent. In terms of singing, I am not Mei Yanfang's opponent. In other words, my appearance is pretty good. Why am I in the entertainment industry?" It is not easy for a person to maintain his popularity for such a long time.

The most important thing for me in my career is credibility. Even though I don't like my father very much, he said to me that credibility is the most important thing when it comes to being an actor. If I say go, it will definitely pass. "

Kemi didn't know Guan Zhilin's temper. She said with some worry: "Actually, I do this for your own good. What we are going to face this time is Wu Yusen's big production [Wind Whisperer]. The starring role is still Hollywood's Nicolas Cage. These are big casts. Think about it. Director Wu Yusen is now a powerful figure in Hollywood. Such a big production and luxury blockbuster by one person, how can it be like this? It is quite fatal when you are pregnant.

For us, do you think the big names have any chance of winning? The media in Hong Kong City have said that there is no suspense about this newcomer at all. Therefore, there are not many media going to interview the big-name crew, that is, only a few of Ye Ming's good connections will go. More media in Hong Kong City are directed at Wu Yusen and Nicolas Cage. I don’t think you don’t know this, right? "

Guan Zhilin's agent, in a situation like this, has to be responsible for her own actors. After all, Guan Zhilin's income is related to her own commission. Therefore, she would rather break the contract, but not Guan Zhilin to face this inevitable outcome of losing.

In such a situation, if Guan Zhilin goes away, he will have to face a very embarrassing situation. If the box office of the movie of Big Name is not very good, this is simply a certainty. Under the suppression of "Wind Talker" Next, Kemi could not imagine that any of the big names would have the possibility of victory.

Therefore, Kemi is very insistent on his own point of view on such a matter.

Guan Zhilin said with a smile: "Director Wu Yusen is naturally a director I respect very much. A Hero's True Colors and Across the World are quite classic movies. I don't think anyone in Hong Kong will ignore these two movies. . But don’t belittle yourself. Maybe I’m not the best at acting in movies, but I’m the most accurate at judging people. Director Feng Xiaogang may not suffer a loss this time.”

Kemi said with some reluctance: "That's not necessarily true. At this time, Dong Ping of Poly Huayi has withdrawn its capital. This is a difficulty faced by the Huayi brothers. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Ming has taken over at this moment, it is estimated that At that time, even if it is publicity, it will not be an easy task for the Huayi brothers."

At this time, as Guan Zhilin's agent, Kemi still had considerable channels to get some information. In such a situation, she knew very well what happened to the famous crew. This also proves that Dong Ping doesn't have much information about the big-name crew.

This is simply a matter of course. Guan Zhilin smiled and said: "A person can be a little blunt, a little extravagant, or even a little bad, but he cannot have no vision. Vision, pay attention, this is the most important thing. Don't use the manager's vision." Look at this.

Why did Ye Ming get involved in this matter? This person has always been unprofitable. I heard that even investors for the movie "My Sassy Girl" were not found at the beginning. Guo Zairong met Ye Ming by chance. Obviously, Ye Ming invested in and starred in this movie without any hesitation.

Now look at it, he made money from this movie that most people can't make in a lifetime, or even in two lifetimes. This is Ye Ming's method. He can invest in a movie directed by Feng Xiaogang. What does this mean? It means that he has great confidence in director Feng Xiaogang, Ge You, me, and our film. As the leading actors, Yes, you can’t have no confidence in your own movies.

You have to have confidence in the director and the actors in your own crew. You can do everything before accepting the script, but once you act in the play, you have to have a beginning and an end, so that no one will look for you until the next play.

The box office of a play is very important, but the attitude of the actors in a play is also very important. I have my own insistence on this. "

This momentum is not only the persistence of Guan Zhilin alone, but also the support of all successful actors. None of the successful stars are lucky. How you treat the movie, the movie will treat you the same way in the end.

Even the great beauty Guan Zhilin understands this deeply. (A great pie-in-the-sky event, a cool mobile phone is waiting for you!
