Almighty Daddy: Opening Twins

Chapter 237 Audrey Kelly (Part [-])
Apparently Tongquan was also in a bit of a dilemma. Looking at the two, his eyes drifted away, making it difficult to make a choice.

In fact, if they are of the same size, then it is absolutely no problem to use two people, but there is a gap between the two people's bodies. The most important thing is that in a big show like this, there must be a master and an assistant.

And the Lord is the one who will be announced later.

"Not bad!"

Tongquan could only raise his hands and applaud. After a long time, he said, "Try it with makeup!"

Playing like this is just like singing a cappella. Although the voice looks good, but whether a song is good or not depends on the voice alone.

The two people here were taken away to put on makeup, and Bai Yu went out to check on the others.

The crew is mainly recruiting some small roles, such as monsters or some supporting roles in Tianting.

Although the character design was handed over to Bai Yu, it didn't necessarily mean that the right to select all the candidates was handed over to Bai Yu.

When Bai Yu was watching, he happened to choose the actor of Black Bear Spirit. He was a middle-aged man, and he looked relatively strong. Bai Yu didn't remember who it was, so it might be some unknown actor, or an artist from a certain theater troupe.

But it's easy to talk about male actors, especially these monsters. After all, when the time comes to put on makeup, who can tell what they look like.

Bai Yu had no interest in these people, wandering around to the dressing room, the two monkeys' faces had already started to have hair sticking to them.

Previously, Bai Yu had drawn the appearance of Monkey King, and she also separated out the costumes and the like, and showed them to everyone.

Now clothes, props and the like are all ready.

"Who is this?"

Probably because Bai Yu had been paying attention to the two monkeys, someone suddenly asked.

Bai Yu turned her head and looked at the man.

When I chatted with Zhao Chengli and the others before, I knew that this was the parent of the Southern Monkey King.

Bai Yu said, "Just call me Bai Yu!"

"Oh!" The middle-aged man looked at Bai Yu's appearance and said with a smile, "Seeing that my brother is so young and handsome, don't you want to play the role of Tang Seng?"

In a word, it attracted the attention of others.

after all……

There are so many staff members in this show, not to mention that the filming has not yet started, and they are all divided into labor and cooperation. As for these make-up staff, they were not recruited by Baiyu, nor were they recruited by Tongquan, let alone they don’t know Baiyu. , Even if it is Tongquan, there may be people who don't know it.

Bai Yu was also taken aback, and said with a smile, "No, I'm in charge of character design!"

"Oh!"

Bai Yu's words made many people look sideways. Character design has great power. At the same time, the parents of the Northern Monkey came up and asked, "What about Monkey King?"

Bai Yu replied truthfully: "I designed it!"

"hiss!"

The two looked at each other and praised again and again: "It really is the waves pushing forward!"

Both parties have performed monkey shows for generations. Although there are slight differences in monkey facial makeup over time, but...

This different small change is not that simple, because this thing is like their trademark. Since it is a trademark, it must not be changed at will. If you want to change it, you have to get 80.00% approval, and the person who changes it , must also be the current Monkey King.

When the two saw Monkey King's appearance for the first time, their eyes lit up. They both felt that this was worthy of the Monkey King's reputation, and they were very interested in the author who designed this appearance.

now……

I actually met him, but I never expected that the author who designed the image of the Monkey King would be such a young person.

But at this moment, the young man from Nanhou suddenly said, "You... are you Fengdao!"

In a word, many people in the dressing room stopped, even the female makeup master stopped, staring at Bai Yu curiously.

Then, Bai Yu nodded and said with a smile, "It's me!"

"What a wind guide!"

The Northern and Southern Monkeys are young people after all, obviously they have heard of Feng Zi's name, the Northern Monkey said: "It's really you, I watched the cartoon "Journey to the West", it's so good!"

"Let's just say that this look looks familiar!"

Bai Yu chatted with both of them for a while, and mentioned the problem of their eyes by the way.

"It's best to practice your eyes. You also know that Sun Wukong has sharp eyes. On the stage, he will outline them with a gold pen, and in TV dramas, but the shots of TV dramas are much closer than the stage!"

To put it bluntly, the eyes of the actors can’t be seen clearly on the stage, let alone their eyes. Therefore, the monkey’s eyes on the stage are basically outlined with a golden pen, but TV dramas are different, and the camera sometimes hits the face Therefore, whether the eyes are bright or not depends not only on the outline of the golden pen.

After saying a few words, Bai Yu left. Anyway, now it seems that both of them should be fine, but Bai Yuan doesn't care who to choose, the bad guy has to be Tong Quan.

During the period, Bai Yu had confirmed roles for Fan Qingman, Yang Ruoxuan, and Lihua. Although it was a small role, it would be nice to show his face here.

Of course, Bai Yu found himself a small role.

The progress of "Journey to the West" is advancing a little bit, and the final box office of "A Hero 2" is about to come out.

A few days before its release, "The True Colors of Heroes 2" still occupies the top spot, with a total box office of 5.8 million.

This data is already very good. After all, there is also a very powerful "Legend of the Lost Treasure" in this schedule, and its total box office reached 4.7 million!
If it is released, the box office of "Legend of the Lost Treasure" should exceed 5 million, but the box office of "The True Colors of Heroes 2" will definitely exceed 6 million.

"Haha, I lost my throne on New Year's Day, but fortunately I got it back this time!"

"That's right, sure enough, it's produced by Lotus, it must be a high-quality product!"

"Hey, it's just a pity. It would be great if everyone who directly crushed them can't lift their heads like Feng Dao did in the past!"

"That's right!"

"Don't be ridiculous, if foreign language films can come in, they are all carefully selected. Let's put it this way, "Legend of the Lost Treasure" was the box office champion of the year before last! And "Chariots of Fire 3", "Transformers 4" released on New Year's Day ", those are last year's champions and runners-up, well, they have already passed the audience test abroad!"

Everyone is very satisfied with the results of "The True Colors of Heroes 2".

However, other issues were also raised.

"Damn it, foreign language films entered our market, and I don't know how much money they got. But the problem is, when our films go abroad, let alone the top few, even the top [-], they won't get in!"

"No way, foreign language films have entered our domestic market for more than [-] years, and our films have only been out for a few years!"

"That's right. When the foreign language films came in, the results weren't so good, either?"

There are a lot of people discussing it, but one very important point is actually missing.

That is, European and American cultures are popular all over the world. This kind of pandemic may not show any problems for a year or two, but after a long time, everyone's thinking will change accordingly.

Not to mention that for the sake of development, a lot of traditional culture was thrown away.

The dramas filmed in the early years basically followed Europe and the United States.

But now it is a bit difficult to recover. After all, the domestic recovery has not yet started, let alone affect foreigners.

after all……

If the country wants to develop its own traditional culture, it has to move forward. After all, Dahua has been strong for thousands of years. If those things are dug out, let alone an entertainment industry, it is enough to fill the entire world.

But Europe and the United States are different. They have been shooting backwards, that is, standing on the existing technology and existing society, and looking forward to the future. This will naturally be accepted by human beings in today's society.

It's like everyone can basically accept science fiction, but some people don't bother to look at ancient costumes.

……

The crew of "Journey to the West" was understandably slow, but Bai Yu couldn't wait!
Therefore, after the winter vacation ended, Bai Yu left the imperial capital with his children and wife, and he didn't bother to mess with those people, anyway, he had already made it clear to the central station.

His participation in the filming of the "Journey to the West" TV series has already completed the original task.

But just after Baiyu returned to Huating, Lianhua called and said that someone had come to his door, and it was a foreigner.

Bai Yu probably knew what it was for, but he didn't know who it was.

Lotus has made a lot of money in the past few years. Basic employees, such as the front desk, also receive a big red envelope every year. In addition, the company has a good atmosphere, so few leave, basically all old staff.

So when Bai Yu came, the front desk recognized him immediately.

The little girl was dressed festively, and sweetly called Brother Bai.

"Old Bai, you are finally back!"

When Xing Yangyang saw Bai Yu, he rushed over excitedly.

"What's wrong?"

Xing Yangyang didn't drag Bai Yu into the company, but went to the central station by the side door, and said, "The people in the US say they want overseas distribution rights!"

"Oh!"

Bai Yu raised her brows. Lianhua was too small before, and this company is actually relatively scattered, and everyone doesn't know much about management. Of course, Bai Yulan is the main reason.

Overseas operation is not that simple. Once you have this kind of business, you have to go abroad from time to time. Bai Yu doesn't want to leave, so the distribution rights are basically put on hold.

Of course, not to mention Europe and the United States, even the countries around Southeast Asia basically do not use genuine channels. There may be people in those countries who have seen Fengzi movies, but there is a high probability that they are pirated CDs or the like, or online gun versions. .

"Generally, when a company issues overseas rights, it's a domestic company looking for a market. This time, it's a good thing. The other party came to the door. Obviously, it's because of your fat!"

"Fat meat is a bit unpleasant!"

"That cash cow!"

Bai Yu: ...

Well, at least a cash cow sounds better than fat.

"Let's talk, we have been too lazy to bother with overseas films, so this time is just right!"

"I just want to tell you, we can't suffer!"

"When did we ever suffer?"

"Haha, yes!"

The two talked, and entered the company one after the other.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw two foreigners in the rest area.

Moreover, there is a standard match of a man and a woman. Bai Yu feels that there is no difference whether it is a foreigner or a big Chinese. Looking at the situation, isn't it all the master with a vase?
However, this vase is not bad, it is more delicate, but it seems to have a little baby fat, but it looks like an angel.

The eyes are clear, but they are beyond the maturity of age.

When Bai Yu saw this vase, she immediately thought of the little dancing fairy in the classic "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​from her previous life!

Jennifer Connelly!

Deborah is standing on the table, with her toes on her toes, dancing ballet in the flour and dusty storage room, looking extraordinarily noble and holy!

She danced lightly, swaying gracefully, like a light butterfly, especially the shy hesitating to speak, and the slightly sad frowning, which added a lot to her, all kinds of hesitating, spring Darkness!
For a long time, Bai Yu felt that she was face-blind and couldn't appreciate foreigners, but...

After seeing this person back then, he knew that a beautiful person can really make people remember it at a glance, regardless of whether you are a foreigner or not.

When Bai Yu walked over, the man and woman all stood up, but it was just such a movement that made Bai Yu understand that the previous guess must be wrong.

This woman should not be a vase.

"This is Fengzi!"

Xing Yangyang made an introduction, but his poor English made people feel hairy, but at least others understood it.

At this time, the girl stared at Bai Yu and smiled slightly: "Hello, Mr. Fengzi, I'm sorry to bother you! My name is Audrey Kelly!"

In her previous life, Bai Yu had also met the nobles in Europe and America, and knew that these people would practice proper manners when facing outsiders, but internally...

How should I put it, how did the aristocratic class of Dahua play back then, and how these people played, and it was even crazier.

"Sit down and talk!"

Obviously, that middle-aged person, or the elderly, well, sometimes Bai Yu really doesn't understand the age of these foreigners.

This one looks more like a housekeeper or something.

"Has Mr. Fengzi stayed in school?"

"Are you praising my English?"

Audrey chuckled lightly: "Yes, your English is quite pure!"

Can it be impure?
Can I tell you that I can seamlessly connect all languages ​​in the world?
Seeing that Bai Yu and Audrey were chatting happily, and also spoke a pure British accent, Xing Yangyang was a little dumbfounded.

Damn, this guy is really studying secretly. I still remember that when we were in school, the two of us failed English three times. Now it's better, he might as well be in school, but Baiyu...

It can make people think whether he has stayed in school, good guy!
"I never thought Mr. Fengzi was such an interesting person!"

Audrey was obviously emotional, and said: "Last year, I accidentally saw Mr. Fengzi's "The True Colors of a Hero". !"

Bai Yu is turning 25 and almost 26 this year!

Audrey was exactly 20 years old, but obviously, this girl who was several years younger than Baiyu was not that simple. From the beginning of the chat, she praised Baiyu in various ways.

Of course, the compliment is true, and it is also true to pave the way for future contract negotiations.

But the little girl is still too young after all, probably she was released by the family to practice, and obviously the family doesn't attach much importance to the contract with Fengzi, otherwise why would the little girl come to practice.

after all……

Those films did sell well in Dahua, but the question is...whether they can sell well abroad.

Obviously, those people are not optimistic.

After you praised me and I praised you, the two parties finally got down to business.

"Mr. Fengzi, on behalf of Mina Film and Television Company, I would like to discuss a cooperation with you!"

It is nothing more than the European and American distribution rights of Lotus Movies.

Bai Yu didn't have any entanglements with this point, but Bai Yu has never expressed his position on Audrey's proposed purchase method.

"What do you think?"

"I don't think so!"

Audrey: ...

She looked puzzled, obviously confident in the share she proposed, and felt that Bai Yu would agree, but Bai Yu actually said no.

"I want to share!"

"Divided?"

Audrey was taken aback for a moment, then looked at the people around her.

The man was obviously also a little surprised, and asked: "You are sure that Fengzi has appeared?"

"Of course it is!"

The two looked at each other and remained silent.

"I believe in a principle when making films, everyone earns money together. When shooting a film, even if it is a newcomer, I sometimes give her a chance to share, and I know what my own film is like!"

At that time, so many people in Xiangjiang crowded their heads to go to Hollywood. At that time, they couldn't see clearly, but later it was obvious that the way was wrong.

Do you really think Xiangjiang's films can't be sold in Hollywood?
Don't be ridiculous, at that time Xiangjiang had a lot of films and discs that sold well in Europe and the United States.

So why not the cinema?
Quality issues?

Obviously not, because if the theaters can't sell them, how can the discs be bought well?

Not suitable for the big screen?
Don't be ridiculous, whether it is suitable for the big screen or not is a paradox at all. There is no good-quality film that is not suitable for the big screen, only the saying that it is more suitable for the big screen!

Basically for one reason: repulsion!

Back then, what the United States talked about about multiculturalism and free platforms was actually a joke in the eyes of the latter.

How many Chinese have I seen scolding blondes to go back, and how many blondes scolded Asians to go back!

Being proud, always thinking that one's own culture is superior to others, so ignoring other people's culture, this is basically an unspeakable zz right.

Of course, it also has something to do with strength. If it is really strong, especially if it makes those eyes smell like money and forcefully presses the film out under pressure, it is also possible.

The three talked for a long time, and finally, the contract was over.

"Mr. Fengzi is free, may I invite you to dinner!"

Bai Yu looked at the time and said with a smile: "No, I have to pick up the child. If you want to play in Huating, promise, my friend can entertain you!"

Xing Yangyang has been by the side without speaking. Hearing this, he has a strange expression.

Audrey obviously didn't expect Bai Yu to refuse, and besides... she has a child.

Immediately declined with a smile.

Watching Audrey leave, Xing Yangyang clicked his tongue twice and said, "Mother, I wasn't very interested in foreign girls before, but today this..."

"Go after it!"

Xing Yangyang shook his head again and again: "Don't be funny, the Kelly family, a famous big family in the United States, has been passed down for almost 200 years, and there are so many industries involved. This young lady obviously came out to practice!"

"Tsk, nobles look different!"

Bai Yu rolled his eyes and said, "Counting up, which one of us Dahua people has never been a nobleman?"

To put it bluntly, the vast majority of countries are feudal societies disguised as freedom, and so is the United States!

As she said that, she suddenly looked at Bai Yu and said, "I think she's quite interesting to you!"

Bai Yu yawned and said, "What do you mean!"

"Maybe that's what it means!"

"How about I ask Nana to talk to you?"

"Ah, no, no, I'm off to work!"
