Chapter 153 Zhao, are you worthy of movie fans around the world?(1/3)
March 11, Xu Ke Studio.
Although Lao Xu is not here and is still directing (Home Alone) with Wang Jing at the Huairou Film and Television Base in Mainland China, Shi Nansheng has already assembled the creative team of Dao Ma Dan.
Daoma Dan is the new film that Xu Ke wants to make after the trilogy: A Chinese Ghost Story. Of course, the weight of this new film is lower than "Cat and Mouse" and "Home Alone".
Lao Xu is not stupid. The two movies Uncle Cat and Little Ghost are obviously aimed at the North American and European markets. Even if he is one of the co-directors, once they are made, they will have more impact than the film (Daoma Dan) which is only aimed at the Chinese market.
force.
In the main creative team, the three female protagonists (Dao Ma Dan) are Lin Qingxia, Zhong Xianhong and Wang Zuxian. Xiaoxian has replaced the original role of Ye Qianwen. The other more important male protagonist is Liang Jiahui. Ah Fai is really good now.
Unusual.
The movie "Speed" is a hit all over the world and is currently being released in North America. It grossed 21 million US dollars in the first weekend? This is obviously a masterpiece that will easily break over 100 million US dollars in North America. Ah Fai's net worth has skyrocketed, not to mention Ah Fai's acting skills...
All the directors I have worked with said he was good and he was honest and responsible, and Lao Xu began to prefer Ah Hui.
After a group of main creators read the script, Lin Qingxia smiled and said, "Sister Sheng, the script is very good, and the acting skills of our main creators are also good. As soon as filming starts, I feel that this drama will be good."
Shi Nansheng smiled and said, "Qingxia, you have just become famous by playing the role of Xu Xian. Come to our crew and play one of the male protagonists again. You will definitely become popular. I heard that your instant noodles set cards are selling very well..."
In the past, the card-collecting activity in the mythical drama Journey to the West made Wanjia Instant Noodles kill all its peers. However, in the face of the ancient costume myth drama "The Legend of the White Snake" (The Legend of the White Snake), which is chasing after Journey to the West, a new round of instant noodles is launched again.
Card collection activities are also normal.
At the beginning of Xinbai's popularity, this round of card collection started.
Lin Qingxia's role as Xu Xian in ancient costume? It's really popular. However, in fact, Xu Shilin, who she continues to play as Xu Xian, is even more popular than Xu Xian. The Wenquxing descends to earth. For parents in the Chinese circle, collect more protagonists of Wenquxing descending to earth for their children.
Card is more meaningful than Monkey Brother.
After saying this, other people also looked at Qingxia with envy. Lin Qingxia smiled and waved her hands, "I'm far behind. When it comes to popularity, I can't catch up with Sister Qing. Her white lady is all the rage now.
A classic representative of the times.”
"Xiao Qing, played by Sister Jia Hui, is more popular than my Xu Xian, but those two are far from caring about the small money they can make from collecting cards and selling goods..."
Qingxia calls Sister Shi Nan Shengsheng, because she is older than her, and she calls Sister He Qing and Sister Guan Jiahui, which is a status difference.
Zhou Da’s boss lady controls more than 70% of Chinese Real Estate, and through a series of absolutely favorable business plans, Hualien’s market value has soared to more than 4 billion Hong Kong dollars.
Guan Jiahui, He Qing and others also made similar profits in the first foreign exchange battlefield. Those boss ladies really looked down on the income from carrying goods.
Even now, everyone's class is completely different.
A group of people were all a little distracted by what Lin Qingxia said. There was a knock on the door. When Shi Nansheng shouted to come in, the secretary outside opened the door and Naomi Watts walked in with the little secretary.
Naomi quickly said hello to everyone, and after some polite greetings, she asked Lin Qingxia to walk out of the office. Standing in the corridor, Naomi said nervously, "Sister Lin, my role in (Cat and Mouse Game) will not be changed." Change it?"
"Those Hollywood and even European actresses are so shameless. I heard from the gossip that photos of various sizes are mailed together with the letters. The meaning is too obvious."
"I even heard that there are actresses who are willing to pay for this role, and the money given is quite large."
"Do you think we should do something??"
A real big star, a top-notch actress, and a relatively older one, is competing for Lin Qingxia's FBI agent role, and Xiaohua wants to hire Naomi.
Lin Qingxia was speechless. She was also quite nervous. After all, (Cat and Mouse Game) was a big resource, and it was aimed at the European and American film industry in an open and honest manner. Now, not to mention that Zhao Donghuai has also opened up the distribution and release channels. There is no need to be like before, only Distributed through an intermediary like Warner Bros.
She also wants to become famous and go international.
But after thinking about it, she could only smile bitterly, "We can't do anything, and don't think too much about it. In terms of money, our money is a joke to the boss. He is now leading a large number of Hong Kong citizens and American and British investors. , German capital and others are grabbing meat to eat together.”
"Women... you and I are also considered beauties, but you should have heard that Li Saifeng's self-recommendations were decisively rejected."
"There are so many beauties in the Hong Kong film industry right now. There are almost too many to count. There are a lot of them who are better than us, including the current students of Asia Drama, Li Jiaxin, Zhu Yin... well, they are too young, let's not talk about them. ."
"How do you think Isabel Adjani is worse than us?? Ah Rong has always said that when he and Adjani were acting together, he often heard the boss mention his talent. She really appreciated and liked the boss's talent. ."
"Isn't Laura Fonna more beautiful than you and me?"
Lin Qingxia asked herself that when she was about 20 years old, she was not inferior to Laura, but wasn't she too old? So many directors approached her one after another to play the male lead, which actually gave her a rather strange feeling.
Naomi looked at Sister Qingxia, and then thought about herself and a long list of Chinese and Western beauties. She was really frustrated. After all, for Zhao Donghuai's position, there were countless people who wanted to recommend themselves, but not many of them were interested.
Lin Qingxia said again, "Don't think too much, just let nature take its course. Since the boss chose you among the many female students, it proves that he thinks highly of you. All you have to do is work hard."
"We have so many beauties in Hong Kong's film and television industry. If you want to impress someone outside, what should you use to impress them?"
Naomi calmed down a little and nodded, "That's true. I have been working hard for this role for seven months... Even if it is snatched away by someone outside, the boss will probably arrange roles for me in other new films."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! She started to receive news from the beginning of August last year, and it is now March 11, 1986. As a result of 7 months of preparation, she has already received news from Xu Ke and Wang Jing Waiting for others' affirmation.
The Spring Festival has passed, and the original intention of the big directors was to pack up and go to North America for filming after filming Home Alone.
But this wave of ZZZQ storm started by Teacher Huang, as well as the release of two new films starring Laura Fonna, became popular in North America, and the chain reaction brought about made Naomi nervous.
For a person who has never been exposed to the film and television industry and has no talent, it is difficult to prepare for a movie starring role in seven months. But Naomi is really different. Since 1983, she has determined to pursue the same path in the entertainment industry as she does now.
From 1983 to 1985, I was studying acting, which is equivalent to two years of basic training. After two years of basic training, I trained in Yaxi for two months, and then started to prepare for the protagonist of the cat and mouse game for more than half a year?
Xu Ke, Wang Jing and other great directors would guide her from time to time. Lin Qingxia taught her one-on-one to cultivate a tacit understanding between the two parties in the film. Her talent was not bad, so she was recognized by several directors.
Thinking of this, Naomi suddenly said, "Sister Lin, do you think there is a chance that we can become seafood merchants together?"
Lin Qingxia instantly became angry and wanted to hit this little Bichi. Different from the original trajectory, Qingxia did not quickly get together with Qin Han after she terminated her engagement with Qin Xianglin, because the original trajectory was that in 1985 last year, Qiong
She was with Qin Han only after pulling strings.
After a few years of separation, we separated again.
Last year in 1985, she (Xinbai) filmed for more than four months, and then began to prepare for the cat-and-mouse game. She is now single, but Naomi is too unrestrained.
Naomi glanced at Sister Lin resentfully, took a few deep breaths, and then ran away.
It feels like there are too many bitchis trying to steal her role, and she can't sit still. But she doesn't have much options or bargaining chips, and she has no chance of becoming a seafood merchant.
……………………
Zhao's Financial Center.
Zhao Donghuai was still working when he saw Zhang Min knocking on the door and running in, holding an envelope, "Boss, that one you had an appointment with before, and the other party was so generous with his salary that he didn't star in Rose of France, Sophie...
Marceau also sent a letter of recommendation."
"She wants to be the heroine of (Cat and Mouse Game), and this time she said she can do it without any pay."
After Amin came in, he ran behind the desk and spoke to Director Zhao attentively. After all, he and A-Zhen were educated together and received a lot of positive energy. Compared to A-Zhen, Amin was a little more sultry.
He is very well-behaved and quiet when around other people, but he is quite...
Zhao Donghuai accepted the self-recommendation letter and said, "In this day and age, how can she still be embarrassed? Last time, a mere Caesar Award for Best Newcomer dared to ask for 2 million razor blades..."
When he saw that there were not only handwritten words in the envelope, but also several beautiful photos, he threw it away after reading it, "Let me inform Nicole Kidman and let her prepare a new movie. She is the heroine."
"As for the director, send an invitation to the mainland and ask Zhang Amou and Huang Jianxin to direct together."
Zhang Min nodded and was not in a hurry to get out of the way. He began to grasp the key points by scratching his head.
………………
March 13.
When Zhang Guoshi and Huang Jianxin arrived at Zhao Films together, Zhao Donghuai asked Azhen to bring tea, and handed out two red envelopes with a smile, "Shark Beach was a big hit, with US$15 million in North America in the first weekend. In the first three days of this week, there were also
It grossed $5 million at the box office."
"A red envelope of one million Hong Kong dollars per person, please accept it."
Amou and Huang Jianxin, "..."
After being shocked, it was Lao Huang who was the first to react. Director Huang also experienced the famous scene of being filmed on location in an island country, and being asked by people from the island country to accept a red envelope, "a Japanese yen red envelope equivalent to 300,000 Hong Kong dollars at a time."
He also asked the leader for instructions, and after being approved by the leader to collect it, he went back to earn foreign exchange.
After expressing all kinds of gratitude and accepting the red envelope, Director Huang said with emotion, "I didn't expect that we could make a movie that was released in theaters in North America and became a hit, but the most important thing is that Zhao Sheng has a good script and strong special effects!"
"Lao Zhang, Director Lan and I all got the honor for nothing."
The split-shot script is a killer, Laura Fonna's performance is unstoppable, and the special effects are powerful and up to date with the times. It's really true that any trained graduate from a formal school's directing major can film it.
Of course, if ordinary directors shoot pictures of beautiful scenery, they will definitely be far less capable than Lao Mouzi!
Ah Mou was also extremely excited. After thanking him politely, Zhao Donghuai threw out a script before he could say anything else, "This is a new film. You can take the heroine with you to North America for filming."
"The actors have almost been selected. The female lead is Nicole Kidman, and the male lead is Andy Lau. Hua Zai has passed the English test. This is also a big female lead drama. If it is well acted, it will not be nominated for an Oscar, because this is our Hong Kong
piece."
"But you may not be able to participate in the three major international film festivals in Europe, including the Best Director Award..."
The new script is (Juno), which is about a student who got pregnant out of wedlock while still studying. The original film was shot in 2007 with a budget of only 6.5 million U.S. dollars, but it ended up costing more than 140 million U.S. dollars in North America.
, a global box office bomb of US$230 million.
Awards? Four North American Oscar nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay! But the one that really won the Oscar was the Screenplay Award.
It's a good performance, fame and fortune, and it's very exciting.
Moreover, the original film was shot for just over a month and then ended, which was very demanding on acting skills.
Last time (Shark Beach) project was approved, Nicole Kidman lost to Lola Fonna in the acting competition. Now Lola does not need new projects to promote her. Her reputation has been improved by many levels. This is left to Nicole.
