China Entertainment started in 2004

Chapter 306 Sissi is about to become an international star
"Witch Yoo Hee (Su Yi)", "My Love from the Star", and "Secret Garden" are now Mandarin versions of idol dramas.

The theme songs and interludes must also be Mandarin songs.

For example, the theme song of "My Love from the Star" is "my destiny", which was originally written by Korean SBS TV station's OST lyricist Jeon Chang Yeop, composed by Lin Byung Yong, and sung by Korean female singer Lee Sejin (LYn).

Wang Shu's Mandarin version of "my destiny" corresponds to "Love Your Destiny", which was adapted and written by He Qihong, composed by Lin Byung Yong, and sung by Zhang Xinzhe.

"My Love from the Star" is a hit drama that premiered in South Korea in December 2013 and has since become popular throughout Asia.

"Love Your Destiny" is the Chinese version of the song later covered by Zhang Xinzhe in 2014.

Now "My Love from the Star" premiered at the end of 2006, and the cover song "Love Your Destiny" was not only sung by Wang Shu, but also transformed into the first version of the song.

Another example is the theme song "That Man" of the idol drama "Secret Garden", which was originally sung by Korean actor Hyun Bin.

Wang Shu's Mandarin version of "That Man" corresponds to the Chinese version of the same name adapted and sung by Yang Chongwei.

These songs, when listened to individually, can only be described as average.

Although KTV is an extremely popular form of entertainment and a trend these days, Wang Shu really doesn't want to go.

Liu Yifei is her best friend. Now she has made a great start in the film industry, and her future achievements are limitless.

When it was almost time, he immediately changed the subject and asked: "How is "The King of Kung Fu" going? Is filming about to start?"

It is impossible to go to KTV.

Even if her acting skills are mediocre, with this kind of start, as long as there are more high-quality film resources to gilt, becoming the next Zhang Ziyi is basically a certainty.

After entering the film industry from the television industry, the first film she starred in was opposite Chen Long and Jet Li, and she starred as the heroine in the Hollywood blockbuster "The King of Kung Fu".

This kind of opportunity was the only one she had ever thought about when she was dreaming.

In other words, a popular idol drama is indispensable without the support of "war songs" that can arouse the audience's emotions.

Because of the idol drama, at every critical moment in the plot, the "war song" sounds.

In this movie, Li Binbin, as one of the "first sisters" who backs Huayi boss, can only play supporting roles.

As for why he chose to sing, he felt that since he was confident that these idol dramas would be popular, the corresponding "war songs" would also be popular.

Both sides achieve mutual success.

Under normal circumstances, due to Liu Yifei's popularity and the fact that her first movie was the heroine of the co-produced Hollywood blockbuster "The King of Kung Fu".

At the same time, she was also happy for Liu Yifei.

Fire and drama complement each other.

He personally sang the theme song of the idol drama, which was not only unobtrusive, but even more ambitious.

And if these "war songs" don't have the corresponding idol drama empowerment, they won't be a big hit if taken alone.

But no matter what, Wang Shu's singing skills are really average.

And with the energy behind Liu Yifei, it is very possible to surpass Zhang Ziyi.

How
Shu Chang swept away the noisy emotions in his heart, knowing that this was something she couldn't envy.

Male on top of male.

But if paired with corresponding idol dramas, the effect of one plus one is greater than two.

When Shu Chang heard Wang Shu mention "The King of Kung Fu", he subconsciously turned his head and looked at Liu Yifei. Although he still had that cute smiling face, his eyes could not hide his envy.

There, not only the actresses use sex with others, but the male actors also use sex with others, and the ones who use sex with others are men.

If Liu Yifei doesn't sign a contract, there's nothing wrong with her choice.

It can be said that without the existence of these "war songs", idol dramas lack a fulcrum to drive the emotional sublimation of the audience, which in turn affects the senses of the entire drama in the hearts of the audience.

Of course, Huayi is indeed not a good place.

……

We are all actors and we all want good opportunities.

Since you are confident that "War Hymn" will be a hit, and you hand it over to others to sing, you might as well do it yourself.

Anyway, these days, both people and ghosts are involved in film, television, singing, and singing, and it has become the standard path for big stars.

Not only can it give goosebumps to the addicted audience, but it can also leave a deep impression on the audience's mind.

In the original timeline, it was this step that started the road trip.

He relied solely on his sound card and couldn't sing live.

However, he offended Hua Yi and was not tolerated by the Beijing circle.

Therefore, he did not respond to Liu Yifei and Shu Chang's words, but instead talked about other things.

Even a little help can be of great benefit.

And Liu Yifei is the heroine.

However, Liu Yifei's team is indeed not authentic.

At that time, with this friendship, you might get some light.

Other movie resources are okay. "The King of Kung Fu" is a Hollywood blockbuster co-produced by Huayi Chen Long, Jet Li and American film companies.

After taking such a big benefit, turning around and walking away, it is normal for Hua Yi to be hysterical.

Liu Yifei responded with a smile: "The time has been set, and it will be launched on May 5."

Wang Shu nodded. The filming period for this drama is not long. It started shooting in May and wrapped up in August. The filming was completed in more than three months. It will be released in North America and China in April next year.

Regardless of anything else, this production cycle alone shows the quality of this "blockbuster".

Then he said with a smile: "The scale of this movie is not small, and it will definitely achieve good results after it is released."

Shu Chang also thinks so. With the blockbusters of Chen Long and Jet Li, it will not only achieve good results in China, but also in North America.

Moreover, the market for this film is not domestic, but foreign.

Liu Yifei's personality is relatively straightforward at the moment. She responded with a smile: "I also think I can achieve good results."

"However, the domestic box office appeal of Big Brother Chen Long and Big Brother Li Lienjie is not as high as that abroad."

"So, I think the box office performance in the United States should be better."

Wang Shu responded noncommittally, "This movie is originally intended for the American market, and the domestic market is just incidental."

Having tasted the sweetness of "The Night Banquet", Huayi recruited Chen Long and Jet Li to form the lineup of "The King of Kung Fu". This was not for the sake of the domestic market.

Therefore, when filming and producing, we always try our best to satisfy the tastes of North American audiences, rather than the preferences of domestic audiences.

Of course, in order to make some money in China, the preferences of domestic audiences must also be taken into consideration.

It just means that on the premise of ensuring the taste of North American audiences, we will also take into account the preferences of domestic audiences.

Although there was a lot of criticism after the movie was released, Huayi did make the right move.

"The King of Kung Fu" has a domestic box office of 200 million.

This box office does not seem to match the cast of the movie. From the side, it also shows that this movie is a bad movie in the eyes of domestic audiences. The box office is driven by Chen Long, Jet Li, Liu Yifei, Li Binbin, etc. and the gimmick of co-producing Hollywood blockbusters. Just like Chen Kaige's "The Promise".

However, "The King of Kung Fu" earned 1.2 million US dollars in North America, with a total box office of 9.3 million US dollars.

Nearly 5 times the domestic box office.

"American theaters." Shu Chang did not hide her envy and sighed, "Sissi will become an international star soon."

Everyone knows that Liu Yifei's step is equivalent to Zhang Ziyi's step many years ago, and the starting point is higher than Zhang Ziyi's step.

Although "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" starring Zhang Ziyi was directed by Li Eucalyptus, the cast only included Chow Yun-fat, Michelle Yeoh and others.

And this "The King of Kung Fu" brings together Chen Long and Jet Li.

These two are currently the most famous Chinese movie stars in Hollywood besides Bruce Lee.

The cast configuration is much higher than that of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

Zhang Ziyi can step into the international stage with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Liu Yifei, who started at a higher level, seems to have half a foot on the international stage.

But when Liu Yifei heard this, she gave Shu Chang a speechless look.

Wang Shu also laughed and said: "The cast of "The King of Kung Fu" is better than that of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and you are the heroine. It is only a matter of time before you become an international star."

Although Liu Yifei also thought so, she was just thinking about this kind of thing in her heart. She felt a little embarrassed when she said it bluntly. She looked sideways at Wang Shu and said: "According to what you said, Chow Yun-fat is not as good as Chen." Brother Long and Brother Li Lianjie?”

At this stage, Liu Yifei speaks very straightforwardly and basically says whatever comes to mind.

"Well" Wang Shu looked at Shu Chang upon hearing this and saw her snickering, and said helplessly, "I won't make any comments domestically."

"Abroad, Chen Long and Jet Li are much more famous than Chow Yun-fat."

The fact is that Chow Yun-fat is not famous at all in Hollywood, and is almost a walk-on.

Chen Long and Li Lianjie are different.

Liu Yifei heard this and responded with a smile: "I also heard the names of Brother Chen Long and Brother Li Lianjie more often in the United States."

Shu Chang listened silently and didn't speak at all.

On this kind of topic, if she and Liu Yifei were alone together in private, then there would be nothing wrong with them having a conversation.

But sitting in front of a great director like Wang Shu, she chose to be cautious in her words and actions.

"That's it." Wang Shu smiled, "Zhang Ziyi has entered the international stage with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and now you are starring in "The King of Kung Fu", it must be no problem."

Although Zhang Ziyi entered the international stage with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", it was the literary film "Memoirs of a Geisha" that truly marked her as an international actress.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" only allowed her to step onto the international stage, but it did not make her an international actress.

As for Liu Yifei, her plan to squeeze into the film industry is basically to copy Zhang Ziyi.

First, he started with a co-production film, then he acted in some commercial films to hone his acting skills, and then he starred in art films and won awards.
It is completely following Zhang Ziyi's successful path.

Moreover, Liu Yifei has more advantages than Zhang Ziyi.

In addition to the big help from Chen Jinfei, she entered the film industry with the two popular dramas "Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" as blood packages.

The national degree is far better than Zhang Ziyi.

However, she is not as brave as Zhang Ziyi to endure hardship, and her acting skills are not as good as Zhang Ziyi, a major student from the Beijing Drama Academy.

Zhang Ziyi's acting skills are subject to different opinions. It's not top-notch, but it's not bad either.

However, even so, it is far better than Liu Yifei.

Furthermore, Zhang Ziyi can really endure hardships, and she can really endure and dare to put down her body and be shameless, and...
At the turn of the millennium, Zhang Ziyi, who was still a newcomer, went to the Berlin Film Festival with Zhang Yimou's "My Father and Mother".

The film was a huge success and won the Silver Bear Award at the 2000 Berlin Film Festival.

At award ceremonies, as is customary, the director usually goes on stage to accept the award and deliver a speech, while the actors remain in their seats.

Before Zhang Yimou took the stage, he asked Zhang Ziyi not to go up to receive the award, but to just watch from the audience.

However, the young Zhang Ziyi obviously could not resist the desire in her heart. She agreed casually, but deep down she longed to be on that stage.

So, the moment Zhang Yimou came on stage to receive the award, she followed him secretly.

Although Zhang Yimou repeatedly signaled her to go down with his eyes, Zhang Ziyi ignored her and stood firmly on the stage, making no secret of her ambition.

The female lead came to the stage wearing a red bellyband to accept the award, which shocked the entire audience.

Zhang Ziyi not only accepted the award on the stage, but also kept posing, which made Zhang Yimou extremely embarrassed.

This scene became the focus of heated public discussion because Zhang Ziyi blatantly stole the director's limelight. This behavior was simply stealing the spotlight.

Behind this incident lies the ambition and desire of young Zhang Ziyi, as well as her desire for the big stage.

Although her behavior may have been inappropriate at the time, this controversy brought more attention to her.

She used this to achieve her position, which gradually increased her popularity in the international entertainment industry.

Later, with the success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Zhang Ziyi also gained the attention of Hollywood.

She was invited to star in the movie "Rush Hour 2" with Chen Long, which was her opportunity to enter Hollywood.

This opportunity also pushed her career to a new peak.

The collaboration with Chen Long not only brought Zhang Ziyi exposure in Hollywood, but also established her connections in the international entertainment industry.

……

During the filming of "Rush Times 2", the two attended events together and behaved very intimately, leading to scandal rumors.

Later, Chen Long celebrated his birthday, and Zhang Ziyi sat on his lap, not only feeding him grapes but also catching grape seeds with her hands.

Therefore, Zhang Ziyi became associated with "flattering".

2001, Hong Kong Film Awards Ceremony.

Anita Mui and Chow Yun-fat stood on the stage and interacted.

Anita Mui asked: "What do you need to learn to become an international actress?"

Chow Yun-fat replied meaningfully: "Be well-behaved, docile, and pick up grapes (it is forbidden to have a vagina)."

This last sentence made the whole audience burst into laughter.

Everyone knows that this is talking about Zhang Ziyi.

But regardless of this, the fact is that Zhang Ziyi has become the focus of media attention through this method.

With her beauty and wisdom, she won Chen Long's love.

The collaboration between the two was not only eye-catching, it also helped her open doors in Hollywood.

During this period, Zhang Ziyi began to meet some important people in Hollywood. She used her social skills to gain more resources and opened a new chapter in the international entertainment industry.

As he quickly integrated into the Hollywood circle, he gained the title of "International Chapter".
