This actor doesn't talk about martial arts

Chapter 306 He still doesn’t like closing the door

From the time he officially returned to the mainland to the present, it has been four years, including the time spent fighting in Hong Kong, which is only six years. If it were placed in a novel, the pace might be too slow and the development would take too long.

But in fact, Bai Anliang's soaring speed was comparable to a triple jump, and a rocket took off.

The newly released North American "Entertainment Weekly" selected the top 25 action heroes in film history, ranking him sixteenth.

He happens to be one behind his eldest brother.

Very good, he thinks this position is very suitable.

After all, you can't blow the old man's gold coins too hard, and he and his eldest brother have such a good relationship now, so he should give the old man face.

But to be honest, this thing is actually a bit nonsense, just watch it for fun.

Because Li Lianlian didn't go up, Zhou Runfa did. This guy even ranked seventh.

Bruce Lee was only number 11.

Hmm. It’s hard to comment.

If many media hadn't used this stuff to set up year-end KPIs, Bai Anliang himself would have just regarded it as street stall literature created by some unscrupulous media.

It is said that he can enter this list because of "John Wick". The name of the movie is written at the end of the list.

He himself did not expect that the first "John Wick" would have a global box office of US$200 million.

Of course, in addition to the North American market, which has the largest ticket warehouse, the main market is actually the Asian market.

Sure enough, it has to be this kind of purely enjoyable film without any acclimatization.

If it were a film like "Ip Man", even if it could be released globally, the audience would be much smaller.

Not everyone likes to watch this kind of kung fu movies.

But "John Wick" is different. The things in it can be said to be universal.

Various fighting techniques are used with various firearms, the romance and cruelty of modern gunfire, and the plot and rhythm are simple yet exciting enough to take your breath away.

This is the formula for box office success.

"How high is the production cost of our movie?"

"Two hundred million yuan." Qin Lan had a good memory and reported the number quickly.

However, looking back at the huge production cost that was already boasted at the beginning, it still seems a bit incredible now.

The cost of 200 million is already an exaggeration, right?

It’s hard to tell the true cost of RMB 100 million until it’s reached. I double the amount and make random claims. I’m still wondering if I’ll have to change my words a little after the movie’s box office is released to try to win some respect.

What's the result now?

I regret saying less.

This is a very high production cost compared to domestic films, but it seems so low in the face of box office results.

In addition, laymen may not be able to tell whether this thing costs that much, but insiders can still make a slight estimate.

This rate of return

It's no wonder that Bai Anliang has received many invitations from Hollywood film and television companies these days, and has sent many invitations for roles or auditions.

With such a huge market in the Mainland, and Bai Anliang has indeed shown his ability to harvest box office around the world, it seems to have become very popular all of a sudden.

Of course, scripts from Hollywood companies basically never reach him. People from the company can throw them away after just a few scans.

A good and serious book would not be given to him so easily.

No one is stupid, everyone wants good things, and it doesn’t have to be Bai Anliang.

Not to mention some of the supporting character books, the characters are weird and may be misleading, but there are some protagonist books, most of the plots are very retarded.

Bai Anliang: It's true that I like to write "cool articles", but you can't really insult the audience's IQ, right?

Besides, he actually hasn't made up his mind about whether to participate in a Hollywood movie.

I still prefer projects that I take charge of.

It's not that he has to be a great actor. Anyway, when he was acting in the movie "Dou Ming Zhuan", he was not as happy as when he was acting in his own projects.

It's a psychological effect.

As a person who is used to giving orders, I always feel something is strange when I am suddenly ordered around by others.

Of course, if there was the kind of villain who suddenly appeared and offered Bai Anliang a role with more money and less trouble. In the past, he could get a large salary for just a little bit of soy sauce, then of course he would not hesitate and would immediately take one. Wave wool bursts into gold coins.

Other than that, he is not worried about how things will develop in Hollywood.

If that doesn't work, let's make another series.

The "John Wick" series has been enough for him for more than ten years. If there is another one, there is no need to look at the American guy's eyes. On the contrary, it will be someone else begging him to play.

However, because of the successful start of the "John Wick" series, if he starts a new project, he probably won't be able to completely control it like this series.

He is not stupid, who would be willing to work as a wage earner for him?

Even this time, Lionsgate Pictures actually only cooperated with him with the intention of giving it a try.

Just trying it means that even if you fail, it doesn't matter, you won't feel too bad.

As a result, Lions Gate certainly did not lose money, and even made a huge profit, but it was bleeding from the heart.

Damn, they could have made more!

Now they can only watch Bai Anliang eat meat, and they can only drink soup.

Faced with the "resentment" of these guys, Bai Anliang is very good at PUA.

He immediately came up with a new idea.

He said that he also had a series of movies that he wanted to develop, and asked them if they were interested and could work on it together.

Lionsgate: Really? ! Yeah! As long as it's an action movie, I'll give you as much money as you need, and I'll give you whatever support you need!

Bai Anliang: Of course it’s an action movie. That’s what my career is based on. It mainly requires technical and special effects support.

Lionsgate: Just ask!

You see, this kind of cooperation is still very pleasant.

Bai Anliang said don't regret it when the time comes.

Mecha fighting can be considered half an action movie, right?

Super large mechas and monsters fight each other, it can definitely be regarded as an action movie.

Of course, in human terms, this is actually a science fiction film.

And science fiction movies mean spending a lot of money.

Anyway, if Bai Anliang didn't want to pay so much money, he would naturally have to find some bad guys to share it with, and it would be best if he could find a few more.

He has been waiting for 3D to become a hot topic in the film industry.

When the time comes for "Avatar" to pioneer the way to eat meat, it shouldn't be a problem for him to follow behind and take a bite, right?

A real man, who wouldn’t want to fly a mecha when riding a horse~

He had wanted to try it for a long time.
-

"People", "Times", and an exclusive interview with Yang Ma.

A bunch of stuffed animals occupied Bai Anliang for a whole week after he returned to China.

The conversation was all about high-end topics, such as the film industry, his views on the market, and what impact his presence has had on the film and television industry.

It was as if Bai Anliang suddenly became an expert in this field.

Of course, as a person becomes more awesome, his words will indeed have more weight.

In fact, being in these so-called powerful magazines doesn't mean anything. It's just like the certificates issued by the school when I was in school.

I am posting this just to encourage you.

Of course, he prefers to "encourage by means of encouragement."

However, some very lofty titles were also placed on his head.

Bai Anliang always felt a little weird when he bought a magazine with a sense of elitism and looked at himself in a suit and leather shoes on the cover.

Why do you suddenly look like a successful person?

The photos I took for my buddies were a bit more refined.

Last night, he and Cannon were squatting in the yard to play with the beggar chickens, but failed and almost ate a mouthful of dirt.

Take a closer look, oh!

The horse rider turns out to be a little fatter~

I haven't had time to exercise recently, so I've put on a little fat, and I have to make up for it quickly.

Of course, for artists, these things are honors that can be written into encyclopedias.

Increase your strength and raise your cards.

Being cool is very important. As a human being, living in this world means pretending.

The higher your status, the more people will look at you.

Bai Anliang is a typical businessman in movies. Everything he does is aimed at making money and using his influence to make money.

But this does not prevent others from thinking that he is superior.

For example, compared to the endorsements of some other big-name celebrities, Bai Anliang appears to be particularly "unconventional and independent" in this regard.

He really doesn't have any endorsements. You can't see him on TV or on billboards in real life.

This topic was started by fans. Fans are creatures that love to ponder these messy things.

Instead, it was set up for Bai Anliang.

Damn it, stop talking nonsense. Who said he won’t accept any endorsements at all?

It's just because his own stall is relatively large, and he is planning to get involved in many of the things he is asked to endorse. It's not appropriate.

The company is really talking about a few endorsements at this time, and it is estimated that some long-term endorsements will be finalized after the year, at least for three to five years.

The brand we cooperate with will not be something like hand cakes. Yes, I am talking about you, Zhou Jilun. I am ashamed to be associated with you.

The most important endorsement is the car.

After all, the new energy era has not yet arrived, and Bai Anliang will not build cars. There is no problem for him to accept this kind of endorsement, and there is no conflict.

It was also the credit of his junior brothers. He pretended to beep outside several times, and the car was an important prop.

Land Rover Range Rover, Toyota Overlord, Mercedes-Benz Maybach. It seems that these are the companies that mainly want him to endorse.

It feels like he is a gangster as soon as he appears.

Oh, yes, a Jaguar came out in the middle.

If nothing else goes wrong, he will soon get a big car endorsement deal, which is also good. From now on, someone will be ready to install a beep travel fleet wherever he goes.

At that time, if you want to be low-key and not show off, people will seek him out for the publicity effect of his show-off.
-

"Baby, do you want the boss to give you a car?"

"Oh, I'm reporting to work. We will be filming "Ip Man 2" after the year, and there are many things to do."

Qin Lan had a look of helplessness on her face, saying "Here you go again". She was actually used to facing Bai Anliang's "office harassment".

And I quite like it~

If Bai Anliang hadn't done this when he came back, she might have felt that something was wrong~

But his face must express some helplessness and a little resistance, so that Bai Anliang can tease more vigorously.

After all, when it comes to teasing, you need to feel a little compulsion when you look at the twisted and tangled look on the girl's face~

Qin Lan did a very good job in this regard. Even though she couldn't help it and wanted to take the initiative to show off, she could still maintain the attitude of refusing and welcoming.

It was best to twist her body slightly when Bai Anliang's dishonest hand touched the stockings on her legs to prevent him from succeeding immediately.

The smell filled me up all of a sudden.

These are the key points of knowledge for being a secretary, so remember them.

However, these are just office fun, and a secretary cannot only have this ability to seduce the boss.

Qin Lan immediately added: "Boss, when the endorsement is finalized later, we can't ask the manufacturer for a car, or we will lose points~"

"Eh? Who has done this?" Bai Anliang immediately smelled the gossip.

"Well, Li Bingbing did this. He kept asking for a car at a car launch event, and the person in charge was so embarrassed. In the end, he made a statement saying that he didn't give her a car. It was so embarrassing."

as predicted.

Bai Anliang thought for a moment, "Looking for a black man with a marketing account?"

"What Fatty Fan did has nothing to do with me." Qin Lan immediately brushed himself off and filed a complaint without leaving any trace.

But what she said was indeed true. There was no conflict between her and Li Bingbing, and they were incompatible with each other. Who else but Fan Xiaopang can "borrow" company resources to carry out this kind of operation.

She and Li Bingbing would never miss an opportunity to cheat on each other.

This time I caught such a shameful thing, it would be a shame if I didn't bribe the draft.

This is also something that will lower the quality of an artist. To put it bluntly, it means that there is no structure and is petty.

Tsk tsk, these little girls’ little thoughts~

Bai Anliang didn't intend to take this issue, he just continued to pull at Qin Lan's black silk stockings.

But this time the touch made Qin Lan feel weird. Why is it so hard?

She didn't sit on Bai Anliang either~

When I looked down, I saw it was a car key! Really?

"Year-end bonus~"

Qin Lan's mouth curled up slightly as she took the car key. It wasn't that she couldn't afford it, but the one Bai Anliang gave her was definitely different.

However, she doesn't like the term year-end bonus.

"I have a year-end bonus. It will be distributed in a few days~ Boss, you signed it."

"Okay, birthday gift." Bai Anliang changed his words.

“My birthday is in July!”

"Didn't I not give you a gift then? Make up for it now."

"Hmph, okay~"

Qin Lan happily accepted the Porsche car keys, but the woman quickly asked with a suspicious look on her face, "Boss, how many of these cars have you bought?"

"How many? Just one, what's wrong?"

"I thought everyone had it~"

"Okay, don't be so upset. It's not suitable for you to be jealous. Besides, haven't you already bought me a gift?"

Ah, okay.

Sometimes, Qin Lan really hates why he is so considerate.

She actually prepared some valuable gifts for Bai Anliang, which were small jewelry and the like. They were considered luxury goods and expensive, but because they were small jewelry, they were not too expensive.

In short, it is the kind of gift that will definitely not lose face.

Bai Anliang was asked to give them to girls.

Regarding this awareness, she learned it from Fan Xiaopang.

Qin Lan is still thinking about the fact that those girls bought a bunch of Hermès bags.

Learn from the barbarians and use their skills to defeat the barbarians!

Who doesn’t know how to do it?

Do you think she doesn't know that Fan Xiaopang actually spent Bai Anliang's money? Spending her boss's money as a favor to herself, that bitch is really calculating.

Then Qin Lan learned a lesson and sent some out in the name of Bai Anliang.

She doesn't take advantage of this, doesn't want this kind of favor, she's doing it as a favor for her boss.

Of course, I just added points for my impression of Bai Anliang.

She didn't even have to deliberately pull up the list. Not one of the female artists who came to attend the premiere that day and were ready to fight and join in the fun didn't run away!

Bai Anliang: It's so thoughtful. It's so thoughtful.

He had forgotten about it until some girls used it to reminisce and chat with him.

Not surprisingly, depending on his schedule in the coming year, he may have to work hard.

The caring little secretary personally helped him connect with each other. Where can I find such a considerate person?

Come on, the boss will give you a reward~

Cars don’t count, let’s have something nutritious.

However, Qin Lan is not Da Tiantian's silly little girl, who doesn't know how to eat food first before eating whatever is brought to her mouth. Bai Anliang often uses this trick to deceive her, and he always tries his best.

"Wait a minute!"

"Is there anything else?" Bai Anliang was a little helpless. There were so many things to do at the end of the year. He had already listened to Qin Lan's work report for more than half an hour.

Why else?

"This is a private matter, a wedding invitation."

"Ah? Are you getting married?" Bai Anliang pretended to be in disbelief.

"Ah! Boss, please stop making trouble, Liu Tao, do you still remember? She and that rich young man are going to have a wedding. These two people got married. They met in our place. The invitations have been sent. Are you going? Going?"

"Isn't it okay if you get married? I'm free?"

"Free, because she is getting married the day after tomorrow and is in Yanjing."

"Let's talk about it when the time comes. I don't really like to join in the fun."

To be precise, Bai Anliang doesn't like weddings.

It's not appropriate to go alone when attending someone else's wedding, right?

But if you bring a little girl, it’s not suitable for a wedding~

Women are very emotional animals. If they are stimulated at the scene, they feel so romantic and touching, and they start to dream about marriage. Then Bai Anliang will feel numb?

However, he then thought that Liu Tao's husband, known as one of the four young men in Beijing, seemed to be going bankrupt soon.

Poor Liu Tao only worked as a rich wife for a few months, and finally returned to the entertainment industry to film and pay off her debts.

Isn't this a good warning?

Of course, as for whether to go or who to take with me, we’ll decide when the time comes.

But he asked Qin Lan to prepare a red envelope. When the time comes, people can send the red envelope to him if no one is there.

"Come on, let's get down to business!"

"etc."

"Is there anything else?!"

"No, just lock the door first~"

Lock the door?

Manly man, lock the door?

No need!

Bai Anliang didn't believe it. Who else in his company would dare to open the door and rush in without knocking on the door when he was in the office.

It’s a new year and a new atmosphere. His year of birth is about to pass. Why don’t he step on the tail of his year of birth and have a good time?

As for why the year of birth is mentioned?

Because his dear little secretary is wearing red pants with him again~

Little girls are always tickled by these little details.

It's still lace.

As for more details, they need to be studied carefully and carefully.

Bai Anliang is professional, just like the small rope tied around his waist, he can untie it with a gentle pull.

After studying it carefully, he didn't return it to Qin Lan. Instead, he stuffed it into his pocket. She won't need this thing anymore. Bai Anliang should go home and throw it into the washing machine for her.
-

"Oh, you're busy, you're busy. I'll come back later~"

"Boss! I told you to lock the door!"

The ashamed and angry Qin Lan hit Bai Anliang's chest twice, looking like he wanted to die immediately.

But due to her current behavior, she couldn't move, which was very uncomfortable.

In this case, Bai Anliang could continue regardless.

But Damimi, the little fox, didn't know when she learned to be so bad. She just came in without knocking and didn't close the door properly.

Leave a seam there.

If someone was outside watching, wouldn't it be live broadcast?

Even if Bai Anliang was so shameless, he could only withdraw reluctantly and put on his pants.

After sorting it out for two minutes, he angrily went out to show the little girl some color and teach her some rules.

Enter his office without knocking? ! A little too courageous.

As soon as she went out, she saw Damimi and Zeng Li standing together, looking at her with a smile.

"Huh? Two people?"

"Sister Zeng Li and I didn't see anything!" Damimi said as if there was no silver in this place.

Zeng Li:? ? ?

What did you see? She herself had just arrived.

Bai Anliang didn't want to be fooled like this, so he stretched out his hand and pinched Da Mimi's ears, "Little girl Pianzi, I realize that you are in trouble now~"

"Ah ah ah, help, help! Sister Zeng Li, help me!"

Zeng Li looked helpless, but when she saw the red-faced Qin Lan coming out and grabbing Damimi's other ear, she guessed what had just happened.

Ah, the boss has such a bad habit, he still doesn’t like to close the door.

That's right, the last person who entered without knocking was actually Qin Lan himself.

She entered Bai Anliang's office through the small door of her office, and Zeng Li was inside at that time.

All I can say is, tit for tat.

Now there are three girls in the office.

Bai Anliang had heard the story about three monks who had no water to drink.

He really wanted to lock the door and then be ridiculous.

But I guess no one would be willing, including Qin Lan.

It's hard to say for Damimi. After all, she did it once, even if she was forced to.

Come on, let’s talk about business.

Zeng Li actually came to see Qin Lan. The new year was approaching, and she had made fewer announcements. She was going to have a good rest during the New Year. She had recently made appointments with Qin Lan to work out together, so she didn't have anything serious to do.

But Da Mimi is real.

"Ip Man 2" will start filming after the Chinese New Year, and she will also participate this time.

In the first film, her role as the junior sister practicing Baguazhang was actually quite well received.

Some viewers even included it among the highlights of Damimi's acting career, alongside Guo Xiang in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

So it is no surprise that this character, who was originally a bit of a soy sauce, will have an increased role in the second part and become a serious second female lead.

No, in terms of roles, there may not be much difference with the female lead.

She is said to be the second female lead, but she may actually be the leading female lead.

Of course Damimi is concerned about this kind of thing.

She also didn't expect that she would continue to benefit from Bai Anliang's small role when she acted shamelessly and cutely.

At that time, she had not met Bai Anliang. Of course, it was also because the role was acquired~

In fact, she has been practicing martial arts for a long time in preparation for this role.

It was precisely because of her persistence that Bai Anliang decided to add more scenes to her role.

When Bai Anliang almost finished the first part of "The Grandmaster", he compiled some ideas, scenes, and even lines.

The second part is even more outrageous. Bai Anliang even wants to seize Gong Er, and the foreshadowing was laid in the first part.

Of course, there's just one problem.

Is the modified version of Gong Er on his side superfluous or superfluous?

No matter what happens, you will know after taking the photo.

Bai Anliang now has more room for error than before and doesn't need to be so forward-thinking.
