Now I want to be a good person
Chapter 304
Andy Lau''s next words let Liang Kun understand the reason why Tang Jili took the initiative to find it. The preparation of the film is more troublesome. It''s not just a script. Funds, crew members and so on will toss for a long time after the project is approved.
Myth has only the first draft of the script. It''s still too early to determine all the important actors. Tang Jili wanted to take this as a topic to meet Liang Kun and cooperate in TV dramas first. Whether he is shooting a TV play and looking for Liang Kun to play a role, or Yingyi entertainment, his girlfriend will play a role, which is good for both sides.
Tomorrow, Tang Jili asks Andy Lau and Liang Kun to have dinner. He will go with his girlfriend Lin Xinru.
Yes, Tang Jili''s girlfriend is the famous "silly white sweet" professional. Lin Xinru plays a lot of Virgin Mary, such as crape myrtle, green tea virgin Ruping, Princess virgin Ma Fuya, Goblin virgin Su Daji and so on.
In the parallel world, sudaji can be played as a virgin, do you believe it? Lin Xinru has such strength. Netizens selected the top ten roles of the virgin in the film and television drama. At least one-third of them were performed by her, and the other one-third was performed by Tang Yu. The remaining places were contested by others.
Moreover, Lin Xinru is also a singer. She has sung such famous songs as "you are the wind, I am the sand" and "in a dream", which make people want to have big nostrils and reach out like iron man. No matter how much money he gives, Liang Kun will never write songs for her
Andy Lau said with a smile, "if you want to make a film, you must wait at least two years. You have enough time to practice your acting skills. He wants to make a big film. I have suffered losses in big production, but I don''t want to make such a film. This time I come to Yanjing to meet and talk with him. If you want to cooperate, it''s a TV play. The best result is that in the future, he will find another investor and you will play the leading actor."
Liang Kun sighed: "maybe he just talked casually? When he got the funds, he had to listen to the arrangements of the investors and find a big brand to play. He contacted me just to hype."
"There is also the possibility you said, but he thinks you have real Kung Fu, good image and body like a military general. Moreover, he firmly believes that you will be more famous in two years and wants to know you very much."
"Let''s meet. I''m not optimistic about making blockbusters in this environment. The mainland film market is not good enough. I also suggest making TV dramas in the second half of the year."
"I''ll go back tomorrow and meet again."
Tang Yu waited for Liang Kun to hang up before he came forward and asked, "did you talk about TV dramas? Don''t you want to shoot in winter vacation?"
"Yes, I''ll have a good chat with brother Hua tomorrow. It''s best to shoot in November." Liang Kun smiled.
"Why? Don''t you want to act with me earlier?" Tang Yu was a little depressed.
She has made preparations in all aspects. Lin Jiadong also said that she played well. Liang Kun knows. She wants to become famous as soon as possible, so that she can get closer to Liang Kun in her career.
Tang Yu often surfs the Internet. Many netizens leave messages to discuss Liang Kun. They think that only stars at the Asian Diva level deserve him. And she and Hamasaki are too far away in career. No netizens have discussed her at all. I don''t know she is.
Liang Kun stroked her hair and said with a smile, "of course I''d like to shoot with you, but it''s too hasty after the festival. Brother Hua has received several films and has to shoot the sequel of Infernal Affairs. He doesn''t have much energy to shoot TV dramas. We have to contact a suitable good director to make classics."
"Aren''t you really afraid that I can''t play well?" Tang Yu smiled on his face.
"Of course not. We practiced together. You are very good now. Lin Xinru has no chance to compete with you. Brother Hua and I will refuse her tomorrow." Liang Kun immediately clapped his chest and promised.
Because there were others, Tang''s face turned red into an apple, and the others pretended not to see it.
This kind of TV play does not require actors to have high acting skills. In fact, it can be made by finding a good director, but Liang Kun must persuade Andy Lau to postpone it. The real reason is that SARS is about to break out in Yanjing.
It''s not good to shoot at this time. In case of closure of the city, it''s either to stop work or to shoot hard. Neither choice is good. You will lose money or become a bad example.
"If you want to make a big movie in the future, can you recommend me to play a small role? If you have lines, you can do it." Sun Rui asked with a smile.
"There won''t be blockbusters for the time being. The one that brother Hua said will wait at least two years, and we won''t invest. Making a film in China has a great chance of losing money. If we want to make a film, we have to make a low-cost feature film to practice." Liang Kun replied solemnly.
Xu Zhenzhen asked, "who wants you to make action movies?"
"Tang Jili, is this name familiar to you?" Liang Kun smiled.
"Hey, call me. Are you going to be the second Cheng Long? If he wants you to make a film, can''t we invest money?" Sun Rui said excitedly.
Tang Jili is so famous that he is especially good at making action movies and is a versatile person.
He entered the entertainment industry with martial arts. In the 1980s, he worked as a martial arts actor and martial arts substitute in many companies. He has acted as a double for many famous actors, including female stars. He loved movies and was eager to learn. After that, he did some work such as passing notes, martial arts guidance and screenwriting, and became an assistant director step by step.
In 1990, Tang Jili, 30, organized his own company to shoot "flying dragon in the devil''s land". In the film, he served as producer, screenwriter and director, and achieved nearly 10 million box office after it was released.
In 1991, he directed the Police Story 3 super police, which was invested by Jiahe company with an investment of HK $80 million, and achieved amazing results. The film broke the highest box office record in many Southeast Asian countries. Cheng Long won the best actor award for the first time.
Next, Tang Jili''s career reached its peak. No director has ever worked with Cheng Long more than twice, and he did it; Before making Hongfan District, no Xiangjiang film could become the box office champion of American films. He did it; Chinese American actors can never become the protagonists of American TV dramas because he, Hong Yubao, did it in "crossing the river dragon".
Friends chatted and thought it was an opportunity, but Liang Kun didn''t think so.
"Don''t be too optimistic. I think this product has gone crazy since it came back from Hollywood and can''t cooperate at all. He played Hollywood in Xiangjiang. He made" thunder men "for $12 million, and the box office was only HK $20.51 million. His last film was the TV series" ambition "playing football."
Liang Shuang asked, "do you want to push away this opportunity to cooperate with the big director?"
"I won''t agree to cooperate if I don''t push it. I can write a theme song for his film and sing it. It''s OK to make a blockbuster." Liang Kun said lazily.
Tang Yu still felt that the opportunity was rare. "Isn''t the box office of hero exploding? My teacher thinks the mainland film industry is going to enter the golden age and will become more and more popular in the future."
"Hero is really popular. One premise is that stars get together. In terms of the number of stars, the lineup configuration of hero is no worse than that of Infernal Affairs. No stars do gimmicks to attract fans. No matter how well they shoot, people don''t want to go to the cinema." Liang Kun continues to be negative.
Xu Zhenzhen said with a smile, "you even have moments of self-confidence. I thought you would think you were the guarantee of the box office."
Liang Kun said with a smile, "I know myself clearly and won''t be dazzled by several successes. The money spent on making a big film can make many low-cost feature films. If I do well in love and comedy, I can make more money."
Sun Rui asked, "will our company shoot blockbusters in the future?"
"Certainly. Don''t think about blockbusters first. Make more films with high reputation and accumulate popularity. After many cinemas are built in China, we will try to make big films and find a group of stars to play. Good films may not have a good box office these days. Making comedy new year films during the new year can appropriately increase the cost. Don''t consider others."
Liang Kun wants to start with TV dramas step by step. He can''t go to the box office of monoclonal antibody in the era of no box office at once. Unless he doesn''t shoot at home, the foreign film market is much better now.
In Liang Kun''s view, the film myth is destined to hit the streets and the box office of the parallel world is dismal.
Of course, Liang Kun is not the first candidate to replace Cheng Long. Cheng Long is currently making a living in Hollywood and won''t go back to Xiangjiang to shoot at all. So when writing the first draft of the script, Tang Jili thought of Liang Kun.
This butterfly effect is not big. After Cheng Long''s disastrous defeat of 80 days around the earth, he will go back to Xiangjiang to shoot. At that time, he will certainly contact his old partner Tang Jili.
Finally, they came up with the myth, which most people can''t afford to invest at all. Andy Lau''s idea of large-scale production is to invest tens of millions of yuan, which he feels too risky to participate. The final amount of the original myth can make him lose his chin.
In the parallel world, myth has invested US $15 million, about 120 million yuan at the exchange rate in 2004. This investment definitely belongs to the top large-scale production in China.
Hero''s investment of US $30 million has doubled, but the box office of hero in mainland China is 250 million yuan, and the global box office is as high as US $177 million, equivalent to less than 1.4 billion people. This film opened the blockbuster era of mainland films and became a landmark work of Chinese films.
After the release of myth, the box office hit the streets. Only 97.01 million box offices were received in China, and only 21.5 million US dollars, about 174 million yuan, were received worldwide.
The domestic distribution proportion of the film is only 22%, and the film side only gets more than 23 million. The majority of the box office depends on China, which can suffer a lot. The film was invested by Cheng Long''s imperial film industry. It can be seen that Tang Jili couldn''t find anyone to invest in for a long time after the script came out.
This company is a joint venture between Cheng Long and his good friend emperor president Yang Shoucheng in August 2003. The first work is the new police story. It has a poor reputation, cold box office and angry loss of 30 million.
Now Cheng Long makes movies according to Hollywood standards. He doesn''t play if the investment is too small. If the investment is too large, the investors are afraid that they can''t recover the cost. Therefore, no one in China can afford Cheng Long. He can only shoot by himself.
If Liang Kun wants to Starr in myth, he can estimate part of the investment. How can he invest in making a must lose film?
Liang Kun didn''t like the film either. What impressed him most was a dance by Jin Xishan and the hot figure of an Indian actress.
He doesn''t know the name of the actor. If she is Chinese, the most suitable name for her should be "yourong"
