At first, I just wanted to make money

Chapter 728 Offline DVD...

In later generations, Yang Ziqiong won the Oscar, many people satirized Zhang Ziyi...

No need!

Let's be honest.

Yang Ziqiong has never been fettered by the status of "international superstar".

The so-called bond of international superstars is very real, and the influence is subtle.It restricts actors in various aspects such as film selection, co-director selection, co-operation team selection, and co-operation method selection.

This also led to Zhang Ziyi having a way out - she wanted to make herself better through Hollywood, but found that it was not satisfactory.

Since the climate is not acclimatized, there is no point in staying any longer, it is just a waste of time.

So, she went back to China to develop!
Yang Ziqiong is different, she is just working.

Yang Ziqiong was originally a Malaysian.

Such a small market in Malaysia is not enough for her to develop, so she went to Hollywood, and then she got into Hollywood wholeheartedly.

In fact, Hollywood needs an Asian face. At this time, there are not so many restrictions on accepting plays. Yang Ziqiong, who has persisted in Hollywood for many years, has good acting skills and can play.

was selected.

Zhang Ziyi is different!
Yang Ziqiong just continued to work hard in another place. This behavior was actually driven by the market.

Zhang Ziyi's return to China for development was also driven by the market.

This is a typical case where the initial value is different and the path is different in the end.

As for artistic achievements, Zhang Ziyi has actually tried, no matter how hard she tried, it was useless.

This thing is purely a matter of luck, there are too many factors outside of the individual.

Could it be that Zhang Ziyi couldn't fight?

A joke, the last knife and horse, do you think it was just a joke?

Saying she can't fight, you see if Wang Jiawei and Li An will say that.

"The Great Master" became the existence of "Gong Er Zhuan"!

But having said that, the work attitude of the so-called international superstar actually does not help the artist's development.

Say a small point.

When working, the scene will be required to be cleared, and the producer's supervisor will also be cleared.

Of course, international superstars may look down on the producers of domestic small units.

But I really don't feel that artistic status needs to be demonstrated in this way.

In fact, Gong Li is also the same. The further you go, the more you put on a show, and you have to clear the scene after an interview, looking at people with your nostrils, and the posture of a queen, and the works are in decline, and almost none of them can be sold...

Another point is that they bring their own cafes, which greatly affects the integrity of a play.

This is not only Zhang Ziyi, but also Sidan Shuangbing has such an influence-in fact, compared with Qin Hailu, Yu Nan, Yuan Quan, Yan Bingyan and the like, the so-called Sidan Shuangbing does not have any business advantages.

Their real advantage is that they obtained more film and television resources in the early years, had more opportunities to compete for awards, and had better team packaging and marketing!

It is also because of this that their respective teams attach great importance to their own positions.

There are strict requirements for things like scenes.

After all, this thing is directly related to the commercial value of real gold and silver...

Therefore, Zhang Ziyi's role in "The Climber" requires a stinky and long love line like a Qiong Yao drama...

Shen Xudong rejected Zhang Ziyi's request to appear in "33 Days of Broken Love" without hesitation.

He said directly: "The heroine Huang Xiaoxian in "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is a very ordinary girl, what do you think, how do you think of acting in this kind of movie?"

"...I also need to prove myself through commercial films...and I really like this original work..."

Shen Xudong shook his head: "You can't play this kind of role!"

Zhang Ziyi was very dissatisfied: "You haven't seen me act in this kind of movie, why do you say I can't do it?"

Shen Xudong asked casually: "...Then do you know who Yourcenar is? Have you read her book?"

"...Then the Bai Baihe you chose has been read?"

"I told her that when I was writing "33 Days of Broken Relationship", a sentence of Yourcenar was related to the plot... Then she bought all of Yourcenar's books. The second time I met her, I asked her about Yourcenar, and she was able to seriously discuss it with me!"

"It's not fair, you told her in advance!"

"...Because when I wrote the novel, the character I brought in was her...and she was also suitable..."

"...But if you use me, I can..."

Zhang Ziyi originally wanted to say, 'I can help you get investment', but...how could it be possible that Shen Xudong lacked funds to make a movie?

The total cost of "33 Days of Broken Relationship" is close to 3000 million, which is mainly spent on Shen Xudong's own script, director, and production costs - the total is 1100 million, not including the later profit dividends!

The screenwriter's fee is 300 million, the producer's fee is 300 million, and the director's fee is 500 million...

That's right, he divided it into one-third more than one-third!
If it sells well in the later stage, he can share 20 points of the proceeds!
As for the 3000 million cost...

There is no way, there are too many advertisements to be placed, and a pair of brands are rushing to be implanted. After three rounds of screening, there are 14 brands left, and the implantation fee is 3600 million!
Therefore, as long as this play is released, it will already make money.

……

Although she rejected Zhang Ziyi, she still had to eat.

The place Zhang Ziyi chose is indeed very good, and the food is also very good.

While eating, Shen Xudong changed the subject: "Is your "Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse" not released yet?"

"...No, I heard that there will be an offline videotape..."

"A B-movie?"

"Correct!"

Shen Xudong was delighted: "Tsk tsk..."

Zhang Ziyi was a little upset: "What's wrong?"

"I just think it's ridiculous... I read the promotion before and thought "Knight" was a super-A production!"

Indeed, before Zhang Ziyi's team promoted "Knight" in various ways, describing the play as "Zhang Ziyi's partner with Hollywood's first-line actor..."

Blow to the sky!

Chen Xi couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean by going offline?"

Shen Xudong explained casually: "In the United States, there are more than 6000 film and television companies in the United States, and thousands of films are produced every year. It is impossible for every movie to go to the theaters. Distribution fees, copy fees, publicity fees, public relations for trial screenings, including storage and transportation of copies, hiring investigation companies to secretly check the box office of theaters, etc., all cost money! Therefore, most of the films that did not meet expectations were not released directly!"

"...So, The Knight didn't live up to expectations?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't watch that movie... I only know that one of the producers, Joseph Drake, is my partner... He should be very clear about the quality of the movie. If you want to know the truth, you can call him and ask him!"

"Joseph is the producer of The Knight?"

Of course Chen Xi knew Joseph... She took out her mobile phone, and then Zhang Ziyi said: "The quality is not good enough..."

Shen Xudong was about to continue asking, but Zhang Ziyi suddenly asked: "Your company in the United States makes so many movies every year, why didn't you find me?"

"You are too expensive...we use cheap actors!"

"The two leading actors in "See the Devil" are cheap?"

Shen Xudong was speechless: ""Seeing the Devil" is a confrontation scene between two heroes. How can there be room for female actors to play?"

"...What about Cloverfield Ten?"

"The cost of that was 2000 million U.S. dollars, and the pure production cost was close to 1800 million U.S. dollars. The remuneration of the actors and staff together was less than 200 million U.S. dollars. How much has your salary increased now? Besides, you signed a contract with Weinstein Films for three films...I heard that you are going to play "Seven Samurai". By the way, didn't your rich boyfriend help you connect with Warner?"
