China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 309 Those Who Learn From Me Live, Those Who Like Me Die [Two in One]

As the absolute core of this film celebration banquet, Gao Fei has naturally received the attention of interested people.

Therefore, after he, Ren Zhonglun and others left, everyone immediately understood that these people had divided the spoils, and the envy in their eyes was about to overflow.

Especially Zhang Ziyi, if you want to say who is the most uncomfortable among the guests, no one can compare to her.

As the saying goes: no harm without contrast.

It was also filming, Gao Fei made a lot of money here, but she lost all her money, it was unbearable for anyone.

If she hadn't still had ideas about the next film in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, she would not have attended the celebration banquet.

In contrast, Brother Cheng Long was much calmer.

The eldest brother who just finished the "Cheng Long and His Friends" concert at the Bird's Nest is very relaxed at the moment.

Although he was somewhat envious of Gao Fei's good luck, he was just envious.

At most, when I was chatting with Li Lianjie, I regretted that I didn't find Gao Fei when I was filming "Little Soldier" at the beginning of the year, otherwise he would have made money.

Seeing what he said, Li Lianjie laughed immediately, knowing that Cheng Long was joking.

After all, when Cheng Long went to "The Founding of the People's Republic of China" as a cameo, he saw Gao Fei filming the scene with his own eyes.

But looking at Gao Fei who was communicating with Huayi, Shanghai Film and other companies in the corner, Li Lianjie suddenly smiled slightly and said:
"Don't you think this kid looks like a person?"

After all, facing Cheng Long's suspicious eyes, Li Lianjie added:
"Hollywood!"

Seeing what he said, Cheng Long suddenly became interested, and Dang Li frowned slightly when he recalled it intently.

After a while, he suddenly patted his thigh, laughed loudly and said:
"Haha~ I thought of it!"

After all, in Li Lianjie's surprised eyes, Cheng Long said proudly:
"Is that Tom Cruise?"

Hearing this, Li Lianjie immediately pursed his lips and said with emotion:

"Yes, it's him!"

Fang Mo, who was at the side and busy looking at the beauties, couldn't help turning his head and staring at Gao Fei for a while when he heard the words, and then said with a strange expression:

"It's not like that either?"

Seeing what he said, Cheng Long on the side immediately waved his hands and said:
"You bastard, go fuck your girl!"

After saying that, he drove him away with a look of disgust, and Li Lianjie, who was watching from the side, was very happy.

But it's no wonder Fang Mo was ashamed.

Because Li Lianjie and Cheng Long are not talking about their looks at all, but their behavior and their status in the entertainment circles of the two countries are very similar.

……

It is said that 1996 years have passed since Cruise filmed the first "Mission: Impossible" in 12, and the third "Mission: Impossible" series has also been filmed.

During this period, Tom Cruise and Paramount collaborated on many films, with a total box office of more than 20 billion US dollars. It can be said that more than 15% of Paramount's total box office revenue was created by Tom Cruise. of.

But just in 2006, "Mission: Impossible 3" had just been screened in theaters around the world, but Paramount Pictures did not hesitate to sweep the Hollywood superstar out, interrupting the 14-year cooperative relationship between them.

This move can be said to have shocked the entertainment media around the world.

There was a lot to say at the time, but most of the reports and analysis were mostly the same as the reasons given by Paramount Pictures.

That was Cruise, who was obsessed with the belief in Scientology, and his old club couldn't stand it, so he was kicked out.

And the outside world also chose to believe this statement because of the various weird actions that Tom cruise made in order to believe in Scientology.

However, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, who have been in Hollywood for many years, both know that the so-called Scientology is just an excuse.

The real bane still lies in the cooperation agreement that Cruise and Paramount signed 14 years ago.

If you look at the history of the development of Hollywood star remuneration, you can find that 1992 is a very critical year.

Because starting from this year, Hollywood has completely entered the era of high-paying superstars. The iconic event is to invite Michael Douglas to play the leading role. The producer of the movie "Basic Instinct" paid a full $1500 million.

In fact, before this, although the income of Hollywood stars was high, it was not so outrageous.Because those veteran companies have already established a tacit understanding after years of running-in, and will control the highest salary of stars within a certain range.

But who let Sony buy Columbia Pictures in 1989!
What the film industry is most afraid of is that stunned young people come in and mix things up, because these rich rookies from outside the circle don't follow the routine at all, and often drive up prices and attract stars, causing the studio to involuntarily.

So after Sony Pictures' crazy operations, the salaries of Hollywood superstars have almost skyrocketed, and in the end, the salaries of Michael Douglas are considered trivial.

The most classic show operation of Sony Pictures in 96 was to offer a sky-high price of 2000 million U.S. dollars for the first time in 2000, inviting Jim Carrey to star in "The Kingsman", directly pushing the remuneration of first-line stars to [-] million. .

The other production companies were so angry that they could only scold the street while raising their salary.

And at this point, other big manufacturers can't stand Sony's mess.

So after jointly teaching Sony Pictures a few times, they fixed the superstar's salary at 2000 million.

So today's Hollywood superstars should actually thank Sony Pictures.

Because if it weren't for this shit-stirring stick, it might take more than ten years for the superstar's salary to reach 2000 million.

Of course, Sony Pictures is not without returns.

The loss of US$32 billion in five years is Hollywood's direct reward for it.

It's just that Sony Pictures, which is harmful to others and itself, has shrunk its eggs.

But the situation has changed. Since then, film and television companies, including the top seven in Hollywood, have been plagued by the problem of sky-high remuneration for stars.

It is precisely for this reason that Paramount Pictures signed the cooperation agreement with great joy when Cruise and Paramount said 14 years ago that he could not be paid for starring in Paramount's movies.

Although Tom cruise chose to share the theater box office and DVD sales, Paramount still needs to pay money, and he didn't really prostitute the Hollywood superstar for nothing.

But this result is already a dream for Paramount.

After all, there is still a big gap for Paramount whether to pay first or pay later. At least the cost of the movie has been greatly reduced, and the financial risk has also been greatly reduced.

Because this is equivalent to Cruise and Paramount bearing the consequences of the movie's failure together.

At that time, most Hollywood superstars had doubts about this payment method.

It's just how happy I was when I promised at the beginning, and how troubled Paramount was later.

Because they didn't expect Cruise's box office appeal to be so high.

Take "Mission: Impossible 2006" in 3 as an example. In this movie, it was rumored in Hollywood that Tom cruise made a full 7000 million US dollars, and some said [-] million US dollars, but this is not important.

The key is that after Paramount worked hard up and down, it was only when they settled the accounts that they realized that they had earned less than Tom.

Therefore, although "Mission Impossible 3" seems to be a movie produced by Paramount, it is not an exaggeration to say that Paramount is working for Tom Cruise.

This led to the situation where "Mission: Impossible 3" had just been released in theaters, and Tom Cruise was kicked out when he turned around.

So to a certain extent, Goofy is really similar to Cruise.

After all, he who holds the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series has indeed eaten the biggest piece of cake, and the rest will be handed over to other investors to fight for.

It's just that there are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand viewers.

In the eyes of Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, what they see is Gao Fei's style of acting that resembles Cruise, but in the eyes of another group of people, what they see is his unique career plan.

……

Wuhan, Huaqi Film and Television.

As new players in the film and television industry, Huaqi boss Liu Guangwei and producer Zhang Tianshu were a little apprehensive when they were managing their first project.

After seeing Gao Fei's news, the producer Zhang Tianshu had an idea, and immediately patted his thigh excitedly and said:
"We can learn his routine!"

"How to study the law?"

Liu Guangwei, the boss of Huaqi, immediately asked.

Hearing this, Zhang Tianshu excitedly pointed to Gao Fei on the computer page and analyzed:
"We all don't know that although Gao Fei is popular, he still doesn't have such a high box office appeal."

"In my opinion, "Looking for the Dragon" can win so many box offices. Apart from the fact that he is more hyped than others, it is mainly because of the "Legend of Sword and Fairy III", which was popular all over the country before the movie was released."

Speaking of this, Zhang Tianshu couldn't help but sigh with admiration:
"I don't know who came up with the idea."

"Tsk tsk~ That TV series was used to promote the movie...Hey, this idea is really amazing!!!"

Hearing this, Liu Guangwei thought about it, and found that this really seemed to be the case.

So he was overjoyed immediately, thinking he had discovered the secret to the success of "Looking for the Dragon".

But after being happy, he couldn't help worrying again:

"However, the total budget of our "People on Journey" is only 700 million, how can we still have money to make TV dramas?"

Seeing what he said, Zhang Tianshu, who was excited beside him, suddenly fainted.

That's right, nothing is worthless without money.

It's just that Zhang Tianshu really didn't want to miss this opportunity, so after thinking hard for a while, he simply gritted his teeth and said:

"Or... we can invite Gao Fei."

"Anyway, he definitely has no shortage of TV dramas, so let's just give him a ride!"

Hearing this, Liu Guangwei glared at him angrily.

"What are you thinking about!"

"Invite him? Even if we give him all the film making money, it won't be enough to pay him!"

Liu Guangwei's words are really not exaggerated.

For the filming of "Looking for the Dragon" this time, Gao Fei offered himself a salary of 1000 million yuan. Neither Shanghai Film Group nor Huayi has any objection to this.

Because Goofy is really worth the price!

And this was before the release of "Looking for the Dragon". Now if you want to invite Gao Fei to make a movie, it is basically impossible without 1000 or [-] million. This is the latest news released by Han Li.

Therefore, the 700 million that Huaqi Film and Television prepared for the filming of "On the Journey" is really not enough to pay Gao Fei's film salary.

Thinking of this, Zhang Tianshu could only sigh in disappointment.

However, inspired by his suggestion, Liu Guangwei had a new idea.

Since they can't afford Gao Fei, they can find someone else!

Thinking of this, he immediately pulled Zhang Tianshu to choose among the original male lead candidates to see who would have a TV series that will be released next year.

So just like that, when Gao Fei knew nothing, a movie just left him.

……

At the same time, Wang Jinghua, who ran away from Orange Sky again, also established her own brokerage company - Shiba Culture.

As a top manager in the industry, she soon became keenly aware of this hidden undercurrent, and she even had a faint feeling that the source of this undercurrent might be Gao Fei, who has been the most popular in the entertainment industry recently.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but took out Gao Fei's detailed information again and began to study it.

It is said that ever since Gao Fei single-handedly broke through the world, not only his peers in the industry are studying him, but senior managers like Wang Jinghua have also been analyzing his development trajectory, trying to find the secret of his success.

After several comparisons, Wang Jinhua found that since Gao Fei became popular in 2006, he seems to have maintained the output frequency of one TV series and one movie per year.

For example, in 2006, he filmed "Legend of the White Snake" and "Certificate of Fame"

In 2007, he filmed "Chu Liuxiang" and "No Man's Land"

In 2008, he filmed "Legend of Sword and Fairy III" and "Looking for the Dragon"

Although the number of movies made each year is not constant, it seems that no matter how busy he is, he will always find time to make a TV series.

To some extent, Gao Fei is a freak in the circle.

You must know that Chen Kun and Liu Huohua, who are about the same age as him, have never touched TV dramas after gaining a firm foothold in the film industry, and just discarded them like old shoes. They are not as hopeless as Gao Fei.If others give a little more than [-] million yuan, he will follow!
In fact, Wang Jinhua had already noticed this before.

Just one thing she didn't expect.

At first, she thought that Gao Fei's success was just a special case, but who would have thought that with Gao Fei's growing influence, he has already affected the employment standards of investors.

So now Wang Jinhua doesn't care about the actor's aggressiveness and the industry's disdain chain. After all, the relationship between supply and demand determines everything.

So after some careful consideration, she began to make large-scale adjustments to the career planning of her stars.

……

Whether it's just stealing the teacher or dislike it, Gao Fei can't care about it now.

After Shanghai Film and other investors finished reconciling the accounts, Gao Fei returned to the banquet hall to deal with the guests again.

However, although these people have different opinions, they can be said to be nothing more than two types.

One type wanted to be a character in the "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" series, and among this type of people, the idea of ​​counting Zhang Ziyi was the most bizarre.

She actually wanted Gao Fei to replace Liu Yifei and let her play Shirley Yang instead, and she even talked plausibly about the international film market, so Gao Fei couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Gao Fei really doesn't know why she thinks she has box office appeal in the international film market?Is it because her name is International Zhang?
So Gao Fei immediately didn't want to waste any more words with her, and after giving her an awkward but polite smile, he turned directly to the next guest.

Except for those who wanted roles, most of the remaining guests were investors.

Because they are jealous of the huge profits of "Looking for the Dragon", even though they know that the hope is slim, these people still can't help but test it in front of Gao Fei, trying to get on the express train to make money.

He didn't reject all of this, after all, the series of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in front of him must have no shortage of investment.

So compared to money investment, he now pays more attention to additional attributes other than money.

For example, after chatting for a while with a general manager of Wanda Cinemas, Gao Fei decisively asked him to meet again in private.

There is no other, just because the total number of cinemas in Wanda Cinemas has reached 50, and they have 400 screens.

And the box office generated by these 400 screens now accounts for a full 15% of the national box office share.

So in Gao Fei's heart, he was almost ready to kick Huayi off the car.

After all, instead of letting the distribution pass in the middle, he might as well deal with the theaters directly. After a long time like this, wouldn’t he have a network of contacts, and there is no middleman to make the difference, how good it is!
With such thoughts in mind, Gao Fei walked into the bathroom absent-mindedly.

But just when he was about to release the water, Liu Tao suddenly pushed the door open, and in front of him, put a badge under repair at the door with a smile on his lips.

Seeing this situation, the slightly drunk Gao Fei was stunned.

However, after subconsciously shivering and shaking habitually, Gao Fei immediately reacted, but it was too late by this time.

Liu Tao was indeed an experienced driver, and before Gao Fei could say anything, she seemed to hear Gao Fei's heartfelt words.

And since she can hear her heart, she naturally doesn't need to communicate with words.

So she immediately took the initiative to lean over, face to face, mouth to mouth, and artificially silenced Gao Fei.

This made Gao Fei flustered.

It's just that Gao Fei didn't give in so easily after all.

Seeing that Gao Fei was still trying to resist, Liu Tao finally squatted down and used his last trump card.

I have to say that the killer is the killer.

As soon as this move was made, Gao Fei was immediately at the mercy of others.
