Chapter 22 22. Boredom, I want to see a river of blood
"If you sign a contract with Huayi, would you be willing?"
Liu Tianxian hesitated and asked back: "Can I act in a blockbuster if I sign with Huayi?"
Wei Wu pondered and said: "It's hard to say, I can only say that there is a chance. But you can negotiate with them before signing, and then make some agreements in the relevant terms."
In fact, Wei Wu didn't tell the truth, because he didn't want Liu Tianxian to sign a contract with Huayi at all.
Currently, Liu Tianxian signed with her own small workshop Red Star Wu, which is basically a grass-roots team. She is the only artist in the company. Her godfather Chen Jinfei invested more than 70% of the shares, and her mother Liu Xiaoli is a senior executive with a small number of shares.
Now if Wei Wu wants to interfere with Liu Tianxian's decision-making, he basically only needs to pass Liu Xiaoli's level.
But when she signs with Huayi, the situation will be very complicated. Big companies are not as easy to talk to as their own mother and godfather.
But then again, if Liu Tianxian is willing to sign a contract with Huayi, her wish to act in a blockbuster will definitely be fulfilled soon.
In her previous life, she had not signed a contract with Huayi, and she wasted two years in Neon. Her popularity and fans' stickiness had declined compared to her peak period.
But Huayi still took the brunt of the uproar from its artists and tried its best to make Liu Tianxian the heroine of "The Forbidden Kingdom".
That was Jackie Chan + Jet Li. It was the movie with the highest investment in Chinese movies at that time. Hollywood famous directors came to the stage and it could be released in North America. The ascension channel was just around the corner.
I don't know how many people were drooling over this big piece of fat meat, but it ended up being a bargain for outsiders. It would be strange if Huayi's own female artists didn't make a fuss!
To say it in hindsight, if Huayi had given the role of Golden Swallow to Fan Bingbing, she might not have gone solo in 2007.
Although Fan Bingbing had already gone solo when the filming of this movie started in May 2007 in her previous life.
But generally speaking, for such a big project, Huayi would have to start preparing for the casting one year in advance no matter how hasty it was. She must have still been in the company in 2006!
But in this case, the most likely person to leave was Li Bingbing.
After all, the two Bingbings have been fighting for the throne of the first sister for seven years. At this time, you let Li go to play a supporting role with Fan, which is equivalent to the company taking sides. The official has made the final decision on the first sister competition. How can she swallow this breath?
Thinking of this, Wei Wu was also a little curious. In this life, he would definitely intervene and not let Liu Tianxian take this hot potato that is tasteless to eat and a pity to throw away.
Although the box office of this "Forbidden Kingdom" seems to be okay, the mainland's 170 million ranked fifth in the year, and North America's 52 million US dollars ranked 54th in the year.
However, the global box office of 125 million US dollars, compared with the investment of 70 million US dollars, must be a heavy loss.
Commercial failure is secondary. The key is that this movie is a big bad movie. The co-production is a pit that no one can save. Even if Liu Tianxian is asked to perform to 100 now, it will still be useless.
The two Kung Fu emperors joined forces, and the audience was eagerly waiting and spreading the word. As a result, the Douban score was 5.8. All I can say is - it's a mess!
It can be said that the more the audience expected before the movie was released, the more disappointed they were after it was released.
If possible, Wei Wu really wanted to shout for himself and those who bought tickets:
"() () ()! () ()!"
For such a bad movie, it is really not worth offending the leader of the domestic entertainment industry, Huayi.
With the system, Wei Wu believes that he can definitely convince Liu Tianxian not to take this movie.
But if Liu Tianxian takes the initiative to withdraw, in order to compete for the heroine, the two Bingbing sisters, who are close to the water tower, must have another round of wonderful dragon fighting tiger. I wonder who will win in the end?
Or is it the same as in the previous life, the snipe and the clam fight each other, and finally the fisherman outside picks up the advantage.
So excited, Wei Wu couldn't help but think of an emoticon:
[Boring, I want to see a river of blood]
"Hey, what are you thinking about, why are you laughing so...strangely?"
In fact, Liu Tianxian originally wanted to say "sleazy", but considering that Wei Wu was not very narrow-minded, she changed to a more neutral word.
Wei Wu stopped YY temporarily, pulled his attention back, waved his hand and said:
"Nothing. I'm just a little curious, why are you so obsessed with making blockbusters?"
Liu Tianxian said as a matter of course: "Because now blockbusters have attention, they can ensure the scheduling and box office! I definitely don't want no one to watch the movie I made!
"Do you know? At that time, I saw in the newspaper that our "Love Winner" only got 60,000 box office in the entire Yanjing area.
"It's no surprise that it ranked last among the Valentine's Day movies. People said it's not a big winner in love, but a big loser in love. I almost cried.
"Then the newspaper also said that as of press time, the box office of "Hancheng Raiders" has been close to 30 million. I wanted to cry even more after watching it."
Wei Wu curled his lips. "Hancheng Raiders" is not a good movie, but this movie only got 7.38 million in Hong Kong Island, but it still got more than 41 million in the mainland, ranking 11th in the year.
No wonder these days, even the three major directors in the mainland have to follow industry practices to choose Hong Kong stars as the male and female protagonists, because those faces are really popular here!
However, the fact that this movie can get such a high box office may also be related to the high box office of the first movie in the Raiders series, "Tokyo Raiders".
However, the quality of "Tokyo Raiders" can only be said to be passing, but it also won 28 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong Island, becoming the runner-up of Hong Kong Island box office in 2000.
What else can I say? I can only say that Brother Haonan was indeed popular in the years at the turn of the century! The Fifth Heavenly King is really not messing with you.
Wei Wu understood what Liu Tianxian meant. To put it bluntly, he just wanted to be a freeloader.
After all, she basically has no box office appeal in the film industry now. Although she can't be considered a newcomer after filming two movies, she is not much better than a newcomer!
At this time, it is obviously unrealistic to expect her to carry the box office. It is best to follow the big guys. This big guy can be a big director or a male actor with great box office appeal.
Anyway, just follow him to get familiar with his face, and he will naturally rise.
In fact, she is not the only one who thinks so. Many new actors who have just entered the industry probably think so.
However, Liu Tianxian is now the host of the system, and he is also a big shot in the field of TV dramas, but he is so unsuccessful. This is something Wei Wu did not expect.
Wei Wu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: "Can't you have a little dream? Even if the blockbuster is successful at the box office, to be honest, it has nothing to do with you!
First find a way to get a good script, then act well, and finally the box office is successful, and the credit will naturally be all yours."
Liu Tianxian was a little tempted, but immediately sighed:
"It's easy to say, but good scripts are hard to come by, and the key is that I don't know how to choose a script, it's too difficult for me!"
Wei Wu pretended to be profound and smiled without saying anything. Liu Tianxian immediately sat up straight, blinked his eyes, looked around, and said in a gentle and flattering voice:
"Brother Xiaowu~ It's not such a coincidence that you just happen to have a good script in your hand?"
