Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 189 Jing Tian's mentality collapsed

The next day, Yang Mi brought the legal counsel to Yixin Film and Television to sign the contract.

I watched the script of Xiuchun Dao last night, and couldn't sleep at night.

I don't understand!

The script is a good script, there is no doubt about it, but the market situation does not know how, and no one knows whether a movie will win or not before it is released.

Lao Mouzi, Xu Laomo, and Brother Chen Kai couldn't guarantee it either.

After some thinking, she still decided to trust Yuan Hua.

With an investment of 5000 million, no matter how much the box office hits the street, it will not be worth [-] million. Even if it loses, it should not lose much.

Looking back on the 2000 million, she would find someone to raise it, make an agreement under the table, share part of the risk, and it would be almost enough to carry [-] million by herself.

"Actors join the group one month in advance, learn horse riding, martial arts, and sword skills, and can't interfere with the show... the salary is 300 million."

Looking at the contract, Yang Mi was silent, 300 million yuan is still so much.

"I'm sorry, the above contracts are all copied uniformly, everyone is the same." Yuan Hua explained with a smile: "The female number one doesn't have much martial arts, so she doesn't need to learn horse riding and martial arts, just join the group a week in advance."

That's about the same, Yang Mi relieved and said with a smile: "That's a pity, this is my first screen heroine, I still want to try acting."

"It's okay, you can fight if you want, I'll ask the screenwriter to give you two extra fights."

"Uh, let's forget it. The script is done. It's not appropriate to change it. I'm afraid it will affect the overall structure."

It's just a polite word, why are you serious?

The salary of 300 million allowed her to join the group one month in advance, and she also had to learn horse riding and martial arts. She wanted to eat ass.

After signing the contract and having a meal with Yuan Hua, Yang Mi left happily.

Two days later, Jing Tian came back from a long business trip.

The high-heeled shoes and suitcase were left at the entrance, and the coat was taken off, and he lay on the sofa and sighed.

After sighing for the fourth time, Yuan Hua asked tactfully, "What's the matter, are you in a bad mood?"

Police Story 2013 was produced by Xiangjiang, and it was released first in Xiangjiang, and then in the mainland. Yesterday was the release time of Xiangjiang.

The box office on the first day also came out, 20.

"Yeah." Jing Tian said softly, "The box office is not good."

The first-day box office of 20 yuan was not only bad, it went to grandma's house. It is estimated that this is Cheng Long's worst first-day box office in decades since his debut.

Today, I was supposed to go to South Korea next door to promote it, but it was temporarily canceled.

Everyone is in a bad mood.

As the leading actress, her mood was even worse. The trolls really said that she was right. All she had to do was see if Yuan Hua was in the starring lineup.

With Yuan Hua, it must be a good movie, without Yuan Hua, it is a bad movie.

"Alas!" Yuan Hua sighed: "It's normal to have ups and downs in life. Who can guarantee that every drama will be popular? As actors, we are only responsible for acting, and the rest cannot be controlled."

"The bad box office is not entirely your responsibility. The director, screenwriter, Cheng Long, everyone can't get rid of the responsibility."

Turning over and moaning, Jing Tian looked at the ceiling and said, "Yeah, who wants to make a bad movie."

"By the way, has the second script of your Xiuchundao come out yet?"

Now only Yuan Hua can save her.

"It's been a few days since I came out. As long as I get the shooting permit and the funds are in place, I can start the film immediately."

It can't be turned on. I don't know if Lu Yang's Virgo problem is fixed. The post-production speed of Xiuchundao is extremely fast, and it is expected to be released in less than two months.

I will run a publicity campaign next month.

At least the second part can't be turned on until it hits theaters.

"Where is the script of female number one, let me take a look." Jing Tian got up and stretched out his hand.

Yuan Hua scratched his head, "Then what, Yang Mi invested 2000 million two days ago and took away the female number one."

"You gave it to her?" Jing Tian frowned and said angrily.

"Give it."

"If the contract is not signed, it will be withdrawn if there is no money. I will pay 3000 million, and the girl will give it to me."

Yuan Hua: "..."

"The role of female number one is not good, I specially reserved a better one for you, wait a minute."

Running to the study, Yuan Hua found the script of Ding Baiying, the second female lead, and gave it to her.

"The second female lead, Ding Baiying, is handsome and sassy with a Qi family knife in one hand. With your dance foundation, the play is very eye-catching. I, the protagonist, will be abused."

Jing Tian's eyes were strange, and he didn't accept the script: "Could it be Yang Mi who picked the rest?"

Yuan Hua said righteously: "She is also worthy?"

"It's pretty much the same." After taking the script, Jing Tian said, "Keep a little distance from her, you know, you will always fall in love after a long time, this is a woman's intuition."

"Damn, I've already quit pornography."

It took Jing Tian a long time to realize that he was driving, and smiled playfully: "How long do you plan to quit?"

Yuan Hua said earnestly: "Abstain from twenty to twenty-two hours a day, take your time in the early stage, don't rush."

Jing Tian rolled his eyes.

……

In the group, Huang Xiaoming, who knows that Yuan Hua has a new project and is eager to invest, wants to take a stake, saying that he supports his career.

Finally entered 500 million.

But he doesn't act, the schedule can't be adjusted, and Xiangjiang has a play.

In the past two years, his work will focus on Xiangjiang, and like Yuan Hua, he will focus on movies.

In the past, Yuan Hua was left far behind by them, but now he is the target of their pursuit.

In the group, Tong Dawei laughed at him: "Xiao Ming, there's no need, let's accept our fate, we can't surpass this pervert Hua Zi."

Whatever Yuan Hua shoots, Huang Xiaoming follows suit. Isn't this a competition with each other?

Huang Xiaoming's film and television career is not strong, and he devoted himself to starting a business a few years ago. Since Yuan Hua got up, he has gradually taken over the show.

Two movies a year, three TV series, real model workers.

"It was indeed stimulated by Hua Zi, but it was not the main reason." Huang Xiaoming said: "I am getting older, and I want to try to transform."

"You can't shoot TV dramas for a lifetime. While there is still some time, try different roles and get closer to the film industry. Otherwise, you will be stereotyped and you will not be able to switch in the future."

Hu Ge: "Just report me your ID card."

Among the four juniors, he is the one who has made the fewest movies, there are not many in total, and his main focus is TV dramas.

Yuan Hua's balance between TV dramas and movies is about half and half. In the future, I believe there will be more movies and better development.

Tong Dawei is also half of movies and half of TV dramas, but after entering the marriage hall, his output is very low, and the movies he makes are also literary films.

Huang Xiaoming made a lot of TV dramas in the past few years. In the past two years, he has started to focus on movies, and his movies are released almost every year.

He was the only one who had been filming TV dramas, and he was still in ancient costumes that hadn't changed for thousands of years. He didn't know how many more years he would be able to film.

I just heard Huang Xiaoming say that he wants to transform a bit.

It's just that he doesn't have box office appeal, and the director may not dare to use him, and the performance of movies and TV dramas is different. After filming TV dramas for so many years, he may not be able to adapt to the rhythm of movies in a short time.

Yuan Hua: "Senior brother is right, we are not too young, 30+, if you are an actress, you can play a mother, and it is not a problem to always play a young handsome guy."

"The most indispensable thing in the entertainment industry is handsome guys. We won't be able to act for a few years. Lao Hu can consider trying to change himself slowly."

Not much to say, let's stop at the point, Hu Ge is a smart man, Yuan Hua believes that he has his own judgment.

In his previous life, Lao Hu considered entering the film industry after he was 35 years old. At the beginning, he first came into contact with dramas, and gradually lost the atmosphere of TV dramas. Later, he made movies one after another.

The box office may not be very good, but at least it has taken that step.

As long as the play is open, the difference is nothing but a good script.

Hu Ge: "Let's have a look again, if it doesn't work, I'll just transform."

The sugar man gave him too little help, and now he is looking for resources by himself. He will hang around for two years. If there is no way, he will listen to Yuan Hua and transform.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Police Story 2013 was released in the mainland, with a box office of more than 3000 million on the first day. Brother Cheng Long finally regained some face and looked better.

After all, they are international superstars, and the few who can go abroad have a much better reputation in the mainland than in Xiangjiang.

Many audiences entered the cinema for his name.

It's just that there was a lot of abuse after coming out.

"When I saw this lineup, I knew it was going to hit the street."

"Miss Jing Tian has never let me down. Another bad movie."

"Seeking truth from facts, it's not a bad movie, it can only be said to be average, barely watchable."

"Is Jing Tian a box office poison?"

"Brother Cheng Long is crying to death in the toilet right now."

Amid the audience's scolding, Police Story 2013 had a box office of over 4.9 million in the first week, with a score of [-] on Douban, and then the box office began to decline.

Movies are no more than TV shows. Audiences have to pay real money to buy tickets, and relying on fan traffic to monetize won't work here.

The movie wasn't good, and Brother Cheng Long didn't even give him face.

A month later, the movie was released, with a total box office of nearly [-] million yuan, and the investors lost a lot of money.

In the 90s, Cheng Long's salary was tens of millions. After entering Hollywood after the millennium, his net worth skyrocketed.

Seventy to eighty percent of the large investment of more than [-] million yuan in Police Story is his salary.

……

Just after the Spring Festival, Xiu Chun Dao was released, a little worried about the quality, fearing that it would not be able to beat the blockbusters in the Spring Festival, so Lu Yang deliberately staggered them.

There is no way, looking around, all the films in the Spring Festival have invested more than [-] million yuan, and many of them are old-fashioned sci-fi blockbusters that are released worldwide.

In the anxious wait, the box office of Xiuchundao was 980 million on the first day.

The box office is not high, but Lu Yang is really happy.

On the Internet, word of mouth is also good, and the audience who watched it said it was good.

"I just want to know who the actor who plays Ding Xiu is."

"What Ding Xiu, that's Brother Run."

"Ding Xiu is awesome. He recognizes money but does not recognize people. When I heard him say that Jin Yichuan is his beloved relative, friend, and brother, I thought he had a conscience. The next second he wanted to add money. I was taken aback by this coquettish operation." I'm stunned."

"A minor passing by, what does it mean to be very moist?"

"There is no one of the best martial arts movies in the past five years."

In domestic film and television, martial arts films have always been unpopular. Counting the martial arts films in the past ten years, the box office in the mainland has exceeded 2000 million and can be counted on one hand. They are all made by those big directors, and the investment is ridiculously high. .

In the final analysis, the audience is still too small, female audiences don't like to watch, and older audiences don't like to fight and kill.

This caused Xiuchun Dao to receive rave reviews and fail at the box office.

After one week, the box office of Xiu Chun Dao starring Yuan Hua was more than 7000 million.

Too late to worry about gains and losses, the second part of Xiu Chun Dao was officially launched and the selection of actors began.

The filming team is all from the original crew, and the leading actors are also familiar Yuan Hua, the first female lead Yang Mi, and the second female lead Jing Tian.

There were quite a few people who came to audition, and it took half a month to select the personnel, all of which were selected by Yuan Hua one by one.

Male No. [-] Zhang Yi, male No. [-] Lei Jiayin, male No. [-] Jinshi Festival, male No. [-] Li Yifeng...

In April, the crew started up.

"Put harder, your knife feels boring, cut harder."

"It's too slow."

"Martial arts guidance, redesign it again."

"Go ahead, be careful, don't get hurt."

On the set, the busiest person is Yuan Hua. He has to personally check every scene. The second busiest is the martial arts director. The most indispensable thing in martial arts films is fighting scenes. Yuan Hua has high requirements, and it must be good-looking and realistic. Bitter them.

The worst was the actors, Zhang Yi, Jing Tian, ​​and Lei Jiayin, who climbed back almost every day.

"Brother, you are not kind." On this day, during the waiting time, the director Lu Yang walked up to Yuan Hua and said dissatisfiedly, "I have never seen you work so hard in the first part of Xiuchun Dao."

In the first part and the second part, Yuan Hua's performance is more than a world of difference.

In the first film, he obeyed the director's arrangement, followed the script, and rarely did unnecessary things.The second part is different. A fight scene can be NG dozens of times until the actors are lying on the ground until they are satisfied.

Yuan Hua rolled his eyes: "You are not talking nonsense, can you not care about your own drama?"

"But, but, you can't..." The honest man Lu Yang couldn't complete a sentence when he was bullied.

Embroidery Spring Knife has already been released, with a box office of 2000 million and earning tens of millions, which is considered a success, but he feels that if Yuan Hua works as hard as he did with this film, it is estimated that it can increase by [-] million.

Thinking about it this way, he felt that Yuan Hua owed him 2000 million, not to mention how uncomfortable it was.

"Why are you standing there, go to work!" After glaring at him, Yuan Hua got up and went to the RV.

Lying on the car bed, Jing Tian hummed.

Martial arts scenes are too tiring, and it is easy to get injured if you accidentally miss.

Fortunately, her opponent was mainly Yuan Hua, only she hurt Yuan Hua, and very few Yuan Hua hurt her.

It was hot outside and the RV was cool, so he fell asleep unknowingly, and when Yuan Hua came over, he only heard snoring.

There is only Jing Tian in the RV, and the assistant bought ice cream for her and hasn't come back yet.

Yuan Hua was about to close the door and leave when the phone on the table vibrated.

Afraid of waking Jing Tian up, he quickly picked it up.

"Hello?" Yuan Hua spoke first.

"Where's Jing Tian?" A middle-aged man's voice was on the other end of the phone.

"She's asleep." Yuan Hua looked at the caller ID deliberately, but no name was saved: "What can you do?"

"You are Yuan Hua?"

"Yes, it's me. Why are you swearing at others? Be careful with what you say. You're crazy. You're so immature!"

Hearing that it was him, the other side cursed and spoke harshly, Yuan Hua hung up the phone after a few words.

"Who's calling?" Jing Tian was a light sleeper, woke up when he heard the voice, yawned, and stretched his waist and asked.

"I don't know, the name is not displayed, the voice sounds like a middle-aged man, his speech is quite unqualified, and he even curses." Yuan Hua returned the phone to her.

"I'm going down first, you sleep more, I'll come and call you when it's time for your show."

"OK, all right."

As soon as Yuan Hua left, Jing Tian looked down at the call record and was stunned on the spot.

Turning his head to look at Yuan Hua's back through the window, he laughed out loud.
