Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Not long after leaving Guangguang Media, Lin Yuan received a call from Sister Xia.

As soon as the phone was connected, Sister Xia's voice came over: "Have you not finished dealing with the matter over there?"

Although she didn't know what Sister Xia wanted to do with her, she could guess from her unconcealed joyful tone that Sister Xia must have received some good news.

"I just finished chatting with Vice President Li." Lin Yuan answered briefly, and then asked, "Sister Xia, what's the matter?"

"What do you say?"

Sister Xia's tone became serious all of a sudden, and she explained angrily: "For more than half a year, it was the Golden Horse Awards and the Magnolia Awards, and those directors called me every day to ask if you have a schedule. I was busy making the movie "The God of Medicine", so I put these things aside, now that your movie is finished, it's time to come over and deal with it."

Don't look at what Sister Xia said so seriously, but she was already happy in her heart.

The star industry is different from other professions. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as "drought to death, flood to death".

In addition, the income of celebrities is extremely unstable. When the popularity is high, it is not a problem at all to reach a high annual income. But if the popularity is low and there is no exposure, it is difficult to connect to commercial performances, let alone make money throughout the year. How much did you earn.

Although Lin Yuan is a powerful actor, he doesn't have to be like a traffic star who disappears from the public's sight after a few years of youthful meals, but if he doesn't make money when he can make money, isn't that a problem with his brain?

So when Lin Yuan's affairs were dealt with, Sister Xia also called Lin Yuan immediately to talk about the matter.

After hearing Sister Xia's words, Lin Yuan didn't think too much, and agreed directly: "Okay, then I will come to the company tomorrow."

At least judging from the current situation, his next schedule is the movie "Tang Detective 2", and according to Chen Sichen, the movie has to be released in time for the Spring Festival, which means that it has to be completed within two or three months. shoot.

Looking at it this way, his time for the second half of the year will be free at once. If there is a good script, it will not be a problem to proceed ahead of time.

After hanging up the phone with Miss Xia, Lin Yuan also took the same day's plane and flew back to Shanghai.

Early the next morning, Lin Yuan tidied up briefly and went straight to the company.

Lin Yuan can already be said to be a legendary figure in Xitian Media Company. The company has been established for so long, and there are seventy or eighty artists under its banner, not to mention one hundred.

Among them, there are only about [-] well-known people, and there are only a handful of stars who can make it to the top.

Under such circumstances, just by Lin Yuan alone, he abruptly promoted Xitian Media to the top brokerage company in China, which is enough to show how exaggerated Lin Yuan's popularity is.

Double actor Jia Shidi, looking at the whole country, there are very few artists who can win such an honor.

So when Lin Yuan swiped his card to enter the company, the company's artists immediately surrounded him and greeted Lin Yuan warmly. Useful.

Fortunately, Mr. Li came out to make a rescue, and Lin Yuan escaped from the crowd smoothly.

As soon as I walked into Sister Xia's office, I heard Sister Xia's teasing voice: "I didn't wear a mask this time, got caught?"

Lin Yuan shrugged, his face full of helplessness.

Who would have thought that the company had recruited such a group of new artists, and besides, I had already come early enough this time, but I didn't expect these company artists to come earlier than him. Why bother when they are trainees?

Sister Xia put away the smile on her face, and got straight to the point: "Okay, let's get down to business, this time there are a lot of announcements for you, including web dramas, TV dramas, commercial endorsements, and movies."

"By the way, there are several variety shows that I would like to invite you to record for one or two episodes. I can only say that the salary is not low."

Sister Xia pointed the computer screen at Lin Yuan while talking, and then clicked on the document she wrote down.

Looking at the numerous notices above, Lin Yuan must be lying if he said he was not moved.

Based on the box office appeal of the movie "Mermaid", his current salary is at least 3000 million, and the salary of the TV series is even lower.

It's an exaggeration, if there is no 5000 million yuan, Lin Yuan basically doesn't need to consider it. Although the cost of online dramas is low, he dare not lower Lin Yuan's salary much, and it is unified at around 500 million yuan.

There are almost a dozen movies and TV series that he is currently looking for to act in.

There are also a lot of advertising endorsements, there are a total of 1000 companies, and the one with the lowest offer has given [-] million in advertising fees.

If he continues all these commercial performances, there will be a billion less deposits in the bank card.

To Lin Yuan's surprise, there were more people looking for him to act as an endorsement in commercials than film and television dramas.

Lin Yuan also asked curiously: "Sister Xia, why are so many merchants looking for me to endorse advertisements all of a sudden?"

"It's not that the TV series you made are too popular." Sister Xia explained to Lin Yuan: "One "A Thousand Bone Flower" and one "In the Name of the People", both TV series broke the ratings records, saying that you are now It’s not surprising that you are a household name, and the main market for advertisements is still TV, so if they don’t ask you to speak for them, who should they turn to?”

Hearing Sister Xia's explanation, Lin Yuan also understood a lot in his heart.

However, he has no intention of accepting any advertising endorsement right now. Although it saves trouble and time and earns a lot of money, endorsement advertising is risky after all. Once there is a problem with the product he endorses, his reputation and future will definitely suffer a lot. The impact is not worth the candle.

So Lin Yuan directly skipped the commercial, and focused on the TV series and movies he was looking for to cooperate with.

"Youth in Youth", "Ip Man 4", "Shanghai Fortress", "Heroes of Fire".
Almost all of the films that Lin Yuan was co-produced this time, without exception, had a cast of Hao Hao, and Lin Yuan's remuneration was higher than that of each other. Among them, "Shanghai Fortress" paid a full 5000 million film remuneration, It can be said to be full of sincerity.

But there is no script, only the outlines of the stories of these movies, relying on the outlines of a few hundred words, it is impossible to tell whether the movies are good or bad.

Just when Lin Yuan was watching it seriously, Miss Xia suddenly said, "By the way, there is another movie, which is directed by a foreign director, but since it is not the starring role, the pay is much lower."

"Foreign guide?"

As Sister Xia's voice fell, Lin Yuan suddenly became interested.

As for whether it's a starring role, he really doesn't really care much. After all, let alone foreign movies, they are domestic movies. Have you ever seen a foreigner as the leading role?
"The director is Spielberg. He plans to add a little summer element to the movie, so he wants to find a young domestic actor to play one of the roles." Sister Xia explained, while sending the "Ready Player One" crew Open the email and show it to Lin Yuan.

Spielberg is obviously eyeing the domestic market, but there are too few domestic young actors who have international influence. Even if Lin Yuan has won the double best actor in China, he is still an unknown actor in the international arena. unknown actors.

Spielberg searched around, and finally found that Lin Yuan was not only very popular in the domestic market, but also starred in "Kung Fu Yoga" with Jackie Chan. After the film is released, the actor Lin Yuan will definitely appear in the field of vision of foreign audiences.

After some thinking, Spielberg finally decided to send Lin Yuan an invitation to see if Lin Yuan would like to act in his movie.

It's just that compared to the protagonist, Lin Yuan's role in the role is indeed a little less, which is why sister Xia didn't tell Lin Yuan about the movie "Ready Player One" at the beginning.

Seeing Lin Yuan bowing his head in thought, Sister Xia interrupted and suggested, "The company actually recommends choosing "Shanghai Fortress". Not only is it a masterpiece based on a sci-fi IP, but the cast is also very strong. Of course, you still have to decide for yourself. "

Lin Yuan thought for a long time before finally making a decision: "Help me return an email to Director Spielberg, and I'll accept the movie "Ready Player One."

"Are you sure you want to take this movie?"

This answer was obviously a bit unexpected for Miss Xia.

Lin Yuan nodded, and said, "That's right, anyway, there aren't many scenes in this movie, so I can finish it in a month.
Other movies don’t have scripts, so I’m a little uncertain, and it’s not too late to choose after I read the scripts later. "

Hearing this, Sister Xia felt that what Lin Yuan said was quite reasonable.

Anyway, the filming time there is at most one month. If you can take one more film, why refuse it?
Sister Xia's mood immediately improved a lot, and she said with a smile: "Okay, then I will help you finish this movie."

There are only so many movies to deal with for the time being. Before leaving, Lin Yuan didn't forget to remind: "By the way, sister Xia, remember to send me the scripts of those movies when the time comes, so I can choose."

"Okay, I'll get in touch with you then."

In the past few days when Lin Yuan selected the script, Chen Sichen also called during the period, saying that "Tang Detective 2" was ready to start shooting.

After Lin Yuan received the news, he rested in the apartment for two days, and then followed Wang Baoqiang to the set.

Since the movie was filmed in New York, there was a lot of delay in the middle of the crew visa.

I don't know whether Wanda Pictures issued a death order, or Chen Sichen has entered the state of filming. In short, the time these days has not been wasted. Instead, he rented a studio at the China Film Base and used some indoor scenes. It's over.

By the time the visa was processed, the time had come to the beginning of June.

In the waiting room heading to New York, Lin Yuan, Chen Sichen, Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Yang, the leading actors, chatted about the domestic film market.

This May Day schedule is highly competitive, but the box office is not ideal.

Neither "Bomb Disposaler" nor "Master of Memory" failed to hold up the banner of box office during the May [-]st period.

As for the summer vacation schedule after June, the impact on the domestic film market may be even greater.

The reason is simple. There will be three foreign blockbusters in June, namely "Wonder Woman", "Alien: Covenant" and "Transformers 5". In September, Marvel's "Spider-Man: Homecoming" will be released. " was released in the same month as "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 3".

Judging from the box office appeal of domestic films during the May Day period, there is simply no way to compete with these foreign blockbusters.

To put it bluntly, the box office during the summer vacation may be eaten up by these foreign commercial blockbusters.

At this point in the conversation, Chen Sichen suddenly asked curiously: "Lin Yuan, isn't your kid starring in a movie released during the summer vacation?"

Lin Yuan shook his head and explained: "No, "Kung Fu Yoga" has already been scheduled for the Spring Festival. As for "Predecessor 3", I guess it is either the National Day or the Spring Festival. If it is released during the summer vacation, Director Tian should advance Say hello to me."

"It's a pity, if your movie is released, maybe you can break the wrist with these foreign commercial blockbusters." Chen Sichen said a little disappointed: "In the first half of this year, only your "Mermaid" exploded at the box office, and other domestic movies There was no sound at all."

After hearing these words, Wang Baoqiang and Xiao Yang nodded again and again.

Although their filmmakers make movies to make money, no one wants domestic films to be overwhelmed by foreign commercial blockbusters. After all, only when domestic films have a good reputation can the audience buy their films, right?

Seeing that domestic films have begun to rise in the past two years, comedies such as "Charlotte's Annoyance" first broke the box office record, followed by IP adaptation masterpieces such as "Looking for the Dragon", which took the lead in winning 20 billion at the box office, breaking "Speed ​​and Speed" The record set by "Passion", and this year's "Mermaid" movie exploded, directly breaking through 30 billion at the box office, becoming the highest box office record in the history of Chinese film.

But at this juncture, starting from this year's May [-]st, domestic films seem to be a bit weak in succession.

All the films are focusing on next year's Spring Festival. As a result, there is no one that can compete with foreign commercial blockbusters during the summer vacation, which somewhat embarrasses domestic filmmakers.

Lin Yuan glanced at the expressions on everyone's faces, and said, "But I can call Director Tian and ask when "Predecessor 3" will be released."

He didn't mean to snipe at the box office of foreign commercial blockbusters, but he didn't want all the films he made to be released during the Spring Festival.

You must know that "Kung Fu Yoga" is already scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival. Although the filming of "Tang Detective 2" has not yet been completed, the death order given by Wanda Pictures will also be released during the Spring Festival next year. "A Good Show" by Bian Bian and "I'm Not the God of Medicine" directed and acted by Lin Yuan, here are four movies starring him.

If all of them choose to be released during the Spring Festival, wouldn't they fight each other with their left and right hands?

"Okay, then you can call Director Tian and ask."

Chen Sichen and the others looked at Lin Yuan eagerly.

They don't know what calculations are in Lin Yuan's mind. They only know one thing now. Whether the box office of this year's summer vacation can be kept under the impact of foreign commercial blockbusters depends on how big the box office appeal of "Predecessor 3" starring Lin Yuan is. Strong!
