China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

Chapter 604: Saturn Award Nomination, International Chapter is Coming

It has been some time since "Manslaughter" was released. This film, which has a global box office of 3.1 million US dollars, can be regarded as a passing film by Fang Yu.

Fang Yu was far away in North America, and Zhang Ziyi, who was in China, received an invitation from the Saturn Awards. She was so excited that she booked a flight overnight, and she had to arrive at her destination a week in advance to prepare!

She had to prepare a week in advance, not because she attached great importance to the Saturn Awards ceremony, but simply because even on the stage of the Saturn Awards, she had won too many domestic female stars.

The last international Chinese actress who came to the Saturn Awards was "Gong Huang".

Zhang Ziyi has been to the largest film awards ceremony, the Academy Awards.

But that was an experience many years ago.

Now that he has returned to the international stage with "Manslaughter", which he collaborated with Fang Yu, Zhang Ziyi is not only excited but also very grateful that he has such a choice.

If he hadn't made friends with Fang Yu at the Berlin Golden Bear Award Ceremony and left behind the older and better Chen Kai, who is just like an e-sports player, how could he have the opportunity to return to the international stage?

"call!"

Standing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, Zhang Ziyi took a deep breath.

The wind blowing from North America finally hit her face.

After packing his clothes, Zhang Ziyi called a personal assistant and went to Hollywood, the legendary film factory that actors most yearn for.

The Avengers had been filming for ten days at this point.

When shooting a film with such a large investment, time is the most precious cost unit.

The actor's salary basically determines the biggest expense of the film.

The original Spider-Man Tobey Maguire, Iron Man Robert Downey Jr., Black Widow Scarlett, Captain America Chris Evans, Thor Chris Hemsworth, Hulk Mark Ruffalo , Pepper Gwyneth Paltrow, Loki Tom Hiddleston, SHIELD Director Samuel L. Jackson, Hawkeye Fang Yu, etc.

The total salary of these people is a very exaggerated figure, especially Robert Downey Jr. and Tobey Maguire. Compared with Fang Yu's salary, it is really a bargain.

When Robert Downey Jr. starred in "Iron Man 1", the asking price was only US$1, which was already considered a middle-to-lower level in the ranks of Hollywood actors. As a result, Iron Man 2-1 became a hit, and when "Revenge" came to "Innovator 1100", Robert Downey Jr.'s net worth has soared to million US dollars. If Fang Yu hadn't come forward to pay one million US dollars, Robert Downey Jr.'s cost alone would have exceeded the cost of the entire studio team.

After several years of accumulation, Tobey Maguire also gave Marvel Studios and Fang Yu a friendship price after the filming of "Spider-Man 4" was completed.

Ten million dollars.

"Spider-Man 2" is Tobey Maguire's peak. In "Spider-Man 3", Tobey Maguire still has a salary income of 15 million US dollars. When it comes to Spider-Man 4 and Avengers 1, he only The offer of 10 million was because Fang Yu wanted to get him a hand and once again gave him the opportunity to play the role of Spider-Man, so he asked for a lot less.

Although Robert Downey Jr. and Tobey Maguire are both worth $10 million, they are not the tallest ones.

Stephen Fong.

Known as the lucky son of the box office.

Berlin, Oscar, Saturn Award winner.

The Huabiao Best Actor and the Golden Image Best Actor in Chinese-language films.

It has always dominated the annual rankings of movie lists.

God of low cost.

Among screenwriters, they are the best at acting, among actors, they are the best at producing, and among producers, they have the most “jobs”.

Regular actor in "The Walking Dead" and "The Fast and the Furious".

Since his career, he has had in-depth cooperation with Jet Li, Cheng Long, Stephen Chow, Nolan, Keanu Reeves, Zack Snyder, Stallone, Vin Diesel and other big names. He is also the strongest person born in the 80s. Producer and screenwriter banner.

Fang Yu just rarely collaborates with other filmmakers and makes more of his own films. It doesn't mean that no one invites him to film.

Last time Fang Yu received an offer for a police action popcorn movie, with Will Smith as his partner. Before the script was even written, the film studio offered Fang Yu a salary of US$16 million. Fang Yu refused.

The reason for the rejection was not important at all. When the film producers and investors saw that Stephen Fang rejected the film, the investors withdrew their funds overnight, the creative team disbanded the group chat on the spot, and New Line Cinema, who was responsible for the production, even gave Fang Yu a hundred thousand dollars. He sent me a red envelope of thanks and thanked him for disclosing the information so that the company did not lose money.

Just kidding, if Stephen Fang rejects a movie, he will probably lose money!

You don’t have to believe Stephen Fong’s acting skills.

But you have to trust Stephen Fong’s insight into movie box office!

Do any of his movies lose money? absolutely not! Movies he doesn't like are basically guaranteed to lose money but not make any money!

In fact, the reason why Fang Yu refused was not only because he didn't want to cooperate with Will Smith and be overpowered by him, but also because he was afraid that his box office title would be damaged.

Will Smith's salary has already reached 2 million to million U.S. dollars. It is difficult to figure out how much money this film will have to sell to make money back, although "The Emperor" has some traffic of its own. , but what determines the final box office of a movie is the quality of the script and the depth of the plot. Fang Yu would rather spend his own money to make another "The Expendables " than collaborate with one of the best-paid actors in Hollywood for a blockbuster movie. Popcorn.

With Fang Yu's participation in "Avengers 1", many producers got a whiff and wanted to get involved. However, Fang Yu, as the initiator, had actually made a lot of money for himself when the film was first established.

League 1, No. 1 at the box office - Stephen Fong.

The remuneration is 18 million US dollars, and he is an investor and participates in the share!

As Fang Yu's salary was revealed by the Hollywood Screen Actors Association, Fang Yu continues to occupy the top spot in Forbes' Chinese actor rankings.

He ranks at the top of the list with a net worth that is eight times more than that of the second singer Zhang Xueyou. He looks down at the group of Chinese stars at his feet with a crushing attitude.

By the end of 2012, the singer had performed nearly a hundred concerts a year and had earned an income of million. When he looked up at the ceiling above his head with an income of more than billion a year, he probably felt sad in his heart. explain.

"It's so shocking! I don't think I have to sing eight hundred times to catch him!"

And this is just a year when Fang Yu's income is considered very low. After all, the most profitable "Spider-Man 4" and "Avengers 1" have not yet been released. After they are released, Fang Yu will no longer need to participate in the star rankings. , but to compete for rankings in the "Investor" ranking list.

Fang Yu, who ranked first in the domestic celebrity income rankings and received the highest salary from the crew of "Avengers 1", still did not put on airs when filming, and acted as he should.

Fang Yu who was leading the horse, Fang Yu who was beaten away by Zhang Wuji played by Su Youpeng, Fang Yu who was beaten by Qiao Feng played by Hu Jun and fled away, and Fang Yu who became the second male lead in Chenglong movie and became a Hollywood superstar, how to treat acting When this happened, he was still the Fang Yu who always carried enthusiasm. "Oh! My back!"

The first-generation Spider-Man, Tobey Maguire, covered his back and screamed. Fang Yu, who was on the side without any idol baggage, covered his butt and rubbed it, muttering softly: "My butt."

"Crack!"

The assistant director called out, and Tobey Maguire finally couldn't hold back his suppressed smile. He laughed loudly at Fang Yu and said, "Hahahaha! Your butt! How did you think of such a line! Hahaha! You're laughing so hard!" Me! Your expression paired with this line made me laugh so hard!"

Fang Yu shrugged, "What's so funny about this."

The scene the two of them were currently standing on was the top of a ruined building. The building had collapsed and there was smoke everywhere.

In order to make the film's ratings more popular, the main creative staff, including Fang Yu, had to compromise by adding some "jokes" that even children who had just learned to crawl would "understand" in an attempt to make the film more popular. At that time, the audience will be wider, which is why Fang Yu, a big shot with a salary of nearly 20 million US dollars, is willing to put aside his body and make silly jokes.

"Ah! The show is finally over! Should they take a break?!"

Zhang Ziyi asked the black girl holding a notebook at the side. The black girl didn't want to talk to Zhang Ziyi too much. She had never heard of the international chapter.

Seeing that the black girl was unwilling to talk to him, Zhang Ziyi put away his smile and did not ask any more questions, but he also did not go up to meet Fang Yu directly. After all, she came uninvited and was afraid of disturbing such a large-scale film production.

Fortunately, Zhen Zidan appeared out of nowhere. As soon as Zhang Ziyi saw someone he knew, he ran over as excitedly as Bald Qiang saw a tree.

"Brother Dan! Why are you here?"

"Oh, Zhang Ziyi, I act in this drama, I am a martial arts instructor." Zhen Zidan wanted to arrange an identity for himself, but when he thought about it, after pretending, the impersonation master who appeared in the movie was still Fang Yu , I was even more embarrassed when I met Zhang Ziyi in the future, so I thought about it and told the truth.

"Oh! Martial arts instructor! That's great! Brother Dan is very professional in doing this."

After so many days, Zhen Zidan finally felt the experience of being a star in China. He smiled at Zhang Ziyi and said, "Are you here?"

"Oh~ well, there was a film nominated for the Saturn Award, so I came to attend the Saturn Award Gala. It's just that I came a little early. I happened to be free during my schedule, so I just came to visit a class."

When Zhen Zi heard the word "Saturn Award", he immediately thought of "Manslaughter".

This is not at all due to Donnie Yen's focus on Zhang Ziyi, but because "Manslaughter" was so outrageous when it was released last year. It is a high-scoring suspense film directed by Nolan and starring Fang Yu and Zhang Ziyi. I can't believe it. It's hard to pay attention, especially since this film is being released worldwide. It's also very difficult for Donnie Yen not to know.

Even if the domestic box office performance of "Manslaughter" is average, of course there are factors such as low film schedule and slight deletions. This does not mean that it has potential influence. In the current movie-related categories of Baidu search rankings, "Manslaughter" The number of searches for the source of "The Story of a Hidden God" has surpassed that of Fan Zhengtong's "Yellow Apple" and is second only to Tang Wei's "Lust", which shows how much everyone loves this movie.

Now there is an exchange post in the post bar for the complete high-definition version of Yong Mei's "Manslaughter".

Netizens commented: You have Manslaughter, and I have Teacher Yongmei's blockbuster. Let's trade, so we can both enjoy it, so why not.

In "Manslaughter", many horrifying clips have occupied the hot list on social media for a long time. The montage clip at the end of Fang Yu's confrontation with the new police chief has become a famous scene with fake expressions. The bag is as common as the classic expression of a western cowboy shooting to death a flamboyant man with a black gauze scarf wielding a knife.

The new police chief said, "I'm going to find where you hid the body! Even if it means searching the whole town!"

The male protagonist played by Fang Yu put his hands together and shrugged: "I wish you success, Director."

Wish him success?

The police chief thought that even if he turned the town upside down, he would not find the body.

Because the body is buried quietly under the desk of the new police chief... Maybe a hundred years from now, the place will be renovated, and the truth will be revealed one day...

Let’s talk about the heroine Zhang Ziyi who was killed by mistake.

As a heroine, her performance in the film is remarkable. This time, the Saturn Awards unexpectedly gave Zhang Ziyi, a Chinese, a nomination for Best Actress, while the female villain in the film, Chen Chong, won the best actress award. Nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

In addition, Nolan's nomination for Best Director and Yang Zi's nomination for Best Young Actor are also good news.

Of course, everyone has made nominations. Fang Yu, the most important actor in the film, was once again nominated for the Saturn Award for Best Actor. He also missed the screenwriter award this time. Maybe he focused on grabbing the yam. One end will inevitably slip away. Only by grasping the middle can the yam not slip away.

Of course, this is not important to Fang Yu. He is a noodle shop that sells ramen. It doesn't matter if everyone keeps coming to eat his rice bowl. Although it is profitable, it is a huge blow to his ramen skills.

Zhang Ziyi and Master Dan exchanged a few words, and both parties regarded each other as an "enemy" who was ready to eat and drink around Fang Yu. Fortunately, their genders were different and their roles were very different, so they did not become enemies.

Others won't understand the benefits of being in Hollywood. Only when you put yourself in the shoes of a Hollywood actor can you know how different the treatment of Hollywood actors is from that of domestic actors.

Like "Captain America."

When he participated in Captain America 1, the offer was only $.

Three hundred thousand dollars for a movie, not to mention in Hollywood, even in China, you can't be considered a first-tier star. At most, you will be a second-tier bottom, far less than Bingbing and others.

After filming "Captain America", Captain America's net worth skyrocketed from $300,000 to $1.5 million.

If Fang Yu hadn't been in the high-ranking camp of Hollywood producers, Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, and the agency behind him would have asked for $3 million from Marvel.

It can be seen that the actor industry only needs one film to turn over!

This is also the reason why Zhang Ziyi, Li Zhengtong, Zhen Zidan and others all want to stay here to "shine and prosper", but in fact they just have to make ends meet.

It's a pity that the current Hollywood can only accommodate a number one person like Fang Yu...
