Entertainment Empire

The so-called billion dollar club was actually divided into many types in previous lives. One is the pseudo billion, which means that the cumulative box office of all the movies an actor has participated in can exceed the billion box office mark, regardless of whether the actor plays a leading role or a supporting role. ——

Of course, supporting roles do not count.

Otherwise it would be too shameless.

This is the so-called pseudo-billion club, and it is also Luo Xun’s current short-term goal. If we look at the era when the movie box office exploded in the previous life, such an achievement is certainly not worth mentioning, but now is the era when the movie box office has not yet exploded. So this pseudo-billion-dollar club is still very valuable.

What about the real billion dollar club?

This requires playing the leading role, and a single movie has a box office of over 1 billion. In previous lives, nearly 20 male actors such as Wu Jingshen, Garcinia Wong, Chen Kun and Jackie Chan have played leading roles and achieved box office sales of one movie. Movies with a box office of one billion, two billion or more, this is the real billion club!

At this level.

The Billion Club is no longer in their eyes because it can be easily achieved, so what they are pursuing now is basically to attack the Ten Billion Club. Among them, Wu Jing, Deng Chao, Huang Bo and Shen Teng have already succeeded. , when Luo Xun traveled through time, he saw that Baoqiang was about to become...

For Luo Xun now.

That future is too far away.

Now it is more realistic for him to settle down and fulfill the pseudo-billion club. You must know that the total box office data of the movies Luo Xun has participated in in supporting roles is already a bit basic. Among them, "Kung Fu" took 200 million in the mainland, and "Xiangjiang" made 80 million. , while "Crazy Stone" has a box office of 50 million in the mainland, which adds up to a total box office of 330 million.

It’s not difficult to hit a billion!

He has three movies coming up next!

But to be honest, Luo Xun felt a sense of urgency in his heart, because there was not much time left for him. Now it was approaching the year 2009. Luo Xun knew very well that the year 2010 belonged to China. A turning point in the movie box office——

This year!

The imported film "Avatar" has a box office of more than 1.3 billion, kicking off the mainland film market's entry into the billion-dollar era, thus proving the mainland's market potential. This will allow more capital to flow into the film market, ushering in a new era for the development of this industry. During the outbreak period, you must seize the first wave of good news.

As far as past lives are concerned.

After the third "Transformers" in 2011, domestic films finally caught up in 2012, with "囧囧", "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Beautiful Heart" and "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" also followed Breaking through the 1 billion mark, domestic films have truly entered the "1 billion era"!

But this life.

Due to the early appearance of some movies, this time point may be advanced to 2010, which means that 2010 is likely to be the year when imported blockbusters compete with domestic movies, and domestic movies enter the billion era ahead of schedule, Luo Xun As an actor, how can you miss it?

Fortunately...

He has already boarded the first giant ship to sail. This giant ship is called "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". As far as the country is concerned, if this movie is done well, it can definitely live up to Cameron's reputation.

At least that's the case domestically.

In the international film market, no one can stop this king of the world, but for Chinese films, being able to hold on to their own land is already a matter of pride. Don't think about going abroad and conquering the domestic audience first. That's the last word.

…

As Zhou Xingchi said.

Within a few days, Luo Xun received a call from Xu Ke, the director of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". Luo Xun was not nervous when facing Xu Ke, a well-known director in the Hong Kong director circle, but he was still quite excited inside. But this kind of The excitement didn't show.

The two communicated briefly.

There was a conversation about when the audition would be, when the film would probably start filming, etc. It was all business. Luo Xun entered the "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" crew through the back door, so this audition was mostly just a formality.

After hanging up the phone.

Not long after, Luo Xun received an encrypted file of the script of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" in his mailbox. He glanced at it briefly and found that the plot was similar to the version he had seen, which made him feel a little relieved.

previous life.

The box office of the movie "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" has exceeded 500 million, which shows that the quality is not too bad and the popularity is acceptable. As for the role played by Luo Xun, although there is not much room for performance, how to play the villain Being charming is something Luo Xun is quite good at, so he is not worried about the lack of space left for him in the movie——

Don't forget.

In addition to playing leading roles in TV series, Luo Xun is also a professional villain. From his early role as Murong Fu, to later cooperating with Zhou Xingchi in the movie to play Brother Chen, the leader of the Ax Gang, and even "Slaying the Wolf 2" released a few months later Suit thugs, etc., each has its own characteristics!

More strictly speaking…

For example, Yang Jian in "The Lotus Lantern" was also designed as a villain in the early stage of the plot, and the international thief Mike in "Crazy Stone" is an atypical villain, so in terms of acting experience, Luo Xun plays the villain. Better than him at playing the upright guy!

So!

What kind of character is Yu Huatian this time? This depends on the identity of the character. Yu Huatian is a eunuch. The eunuch should speak in a slightly spooky manner, with a feminine feeling in every move.

But being feminine is not enough.

Yu Huatian's martial arts is at the level of Dugu Qiubai, and his styling is Dongfang Bubai-style. There is a feature in Xu Ke's martial arts movies that Luo Xun needs to cater to, that is, a sense of enchantment!

Don't forget it either.

Yu Huatian is in a high position and is the chief supervisor of the Western Jishi Factory in the Ming Dynasty. He is second to none, and he is meticulous, smart, skilled in martial arts, and handsome; at the same time, he is also ruthless, cold-blooded, cruel and ruthless. In addition to being feminine and enchanting, such a person should also have the grace and nobility brought by his status. This is the first time Luo Xun has played such a role -

How beautiful I am!

How cruel I am!

In other words, due to the role, Luo Xun's performance is basically an external presentation without the opportunity to show too much inner activities. For this external presentation, the stunning appearance is absolutely very important. No matter how well he plays this role, it will be useless if the makeup and styling are not good!

In a sense,

Luo Xun's role this time is similar to the thug in a suit. He needs to look cool in front of the camera, and he needs to do it in a sophisticated way. He cannot appear frivolous or exaggerated. This requires Luo Xun to figure out the right balance. After all, he has no chance to experience the feeling of a eunuch. His performance depends more on his understanding and imagination of the character.
