Chapter 509 "Hurricane Rescue" Achieves Another Great Success

Tianya and Tieba were gossip distribution centers before the rise of Weibo and Douban...

Especially Tianya!

There are a lot of scandals about celebrities, starting with classmate XX, a retired employee of company XX...

This group of people is very good at smearing people. They broke five pieces of information, three or four of which were true, and two or three of which were false. This makes it easy for people to believe that the false information is also true!

For example: A self-proclaimed "Huayi employee" who resigned said a lot of things, such as Sammo Hung buying a SOHO apartment to use as a gun house...

He also said that Taiwanese artists look down on mainland artists...

How to distinguish true from false?

Anyway, just take a look at it, whether it is true or false, what does it have to do with you?

Ahem, the company posted a long post on Tianya, Movie Box Office, and Ghost Blowing Lamp Bar. The central idea is that Zhang Ziyi betrayed her trust and temporarily raised the price, so the filming of "The Ancient City" was postponed for three months and the heroine was re-cast.

So, the international chapter became popular!

Well, she has always been very popular. When she was fighting in Hong Kong, "I am a gift" started - at Jackie Chan's birthday party, she went up and slapped Jackie Chan in the face (Jackie Chan's face looked like "cupping cupping") );

To play a Japanese in "Memoirs of a Geisha"...

The original name of the International Chapter was International Dirty...

Why is this happening?

Because she is the first female star to take a commercial route...

Zhang Ziyi has never won an A-class Best Actress Award. As an actor, her career achievements are not as good as those of Gong Li and Zhang Manyu.

But she is the first sister of the business era.

The development of blockbusters in domestic films and the expansion of the fashion industry are in sync with each other.

They all told her that this wave of people had caught up.

Yijie is also a commodity. If she is a commodity, she must package and promote it, open up channels, and put it on the shelves for sale.

But most people's thinking is still stuck in the last century, and they think actors should act well. In a word, they can't stand her!

In addition, temporary price increases are unreasonable...

So, a bunch of people insulted her crazily!

As for the reaction of Zhang Ziyi or her team?

There is a hairy reaction...

If nothing else, the public opinion at that time was all about giving a bad seal to Zi Yi, and there were some actresses in her class who hired trolls to belittle her. However, people in the industry knew that donations were generally handled by agents. But her agent's handling methods...are completely useless!

No sense of crisis at all.

…

Reporters nowadays are quite...direct, and so are entertainment reporters. Back then, Zhao Yanzi won the Golden Eagle Award for Favorite Actress for "Little Swallow". At that time, she didn't know that there would be an interview after the award, and she kept reporters waiting for half an hour.

Then I was late, and I was scolded from the moment I walked in. I didn't want to do the interview anymore, and the scolding didn't stop until Zhao Yanzi cried.

Zhao Yanzi could only keep apologizing to the other party, and even said that if I wear fancy clothes, I will kowtow to you to appease the reporters.

It's normal. Nowadays, the media controls the biggest needs of celebrities: exposure...

No matter how famous you are, if you don't expose yourself for a year or two, you will be out of date.

Oh, when Zhang Ziyi was promoting "The Night Banquet", she was directly asked by the media about the temporary price increase. She looked a little ugly and then explained: "The main reason is that the United States has taken over a movie..."

"So, "Jingjue Ancient City" was rejected because of that drama? Why don't you talk about it directly? Doubling the price temporarily? Are you thinking that if the producer agrees, then you can make this money?"

"...This is actually a mistake by the agency. They directly signed my schedule to "Wrangler"..."

"Why didn't you say that you had already accepted "Jingjue Ancient City"?"

Zhang Ziyi glanced awkwardly at her agent, who decisively interrupted the interview...

Just asking...

In fact, the media knows very well that it is nothing more than a disdain for Chinese films!

Oh, "Wrangler" is actually "The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse", a B-level movie starring Zhang Ziyi, which is pretty bad...

There is no memory point at all. The global box office was more than 3 million. It was not released in North America at all. It was directly released on DVD...

I guess it’s a loss-making work!

There's nothing I can do about it, because it's produced by Hollywood, and its reputation is that it's better than Chinese-language films.

After getting rid of the reporter's interview, Zhang Ziyi returned to the car to rest. Her agent took care of the media and got in the car. The former immediately asked: "What's going on with the "Human Purge Plan"?"

"A low-budget horror film that sells blood," explained her manager Ji Lingling. She is Zhang Ziyi's current manager and a Singaporean. It is said that this person is working hard in the American entertainment industry...

Why sign a Singaporean as your agent?

It's a crazy move. You returned to China to develop your business, and you still handed over your brokerage business to a Singaporean?

No wonder the Triple Gate incident was handled like shit...

I don’t understand domestic public opinion at all!

Zhang Ziyi immediately asked: "Is it really 3 million?"

"Every year, one or two movies in the horror and thriller genres will create box office miracles, but this genre has almost no bonus for actors..."

Too…

Zhang Ziyi thought about it for a while, then wondered: "But "The Wrangler" is also a suspense film?"

"...What's different? The leading male lead is Dennis Quaid, a top-tier Hollywood actor!"

"Really…"

Zhang Ziyi nodded, she still believed in her agent's judgment.

Ji Lingling thought of something: "Tianmei Media, do you want to give me a warning?"

"No need?"

"Be warned... you are an international superstar and you have your own bottom line!"

"…All right!"

Well, it was obviously a promotion for "The Night Banquet", but the two of them didn't mention "The Night Banquet" at all...

…

After Shen Xudong arrived in the United States, he first discussed the follow-up cooperation on "Human Purge Plan" with Michael Burns...

Shen Xudong is different from Wan Ziren. Wan Ziren's "Saw" was invested and produced by Lions Gate, and the copyright is in the hands of Lions Gate. Most of the copyrights of "The Purge" belong to Shen Xudong, and Lions Gate only distributed...

If Shen Xudong is unhappy, the next step is to leave Lions Gate alone and play by himself!

Lionsgate is not the only one in Hollywood with film distribution capabilities.

Therefore, Lions Gate still has a sense of proportion.

In addition, Shen Xudong also proposed the idea of ​​"Ghost Record", which is a replica of "Blair Witch". It is a pseudo-documentary shooting mode, shaky and deliberately processed into a rough DV picture. There is a high probability of "making a big difference". Achieve huge profits.

Of course, Michael Burns knows the goods and immediately agreed to work together, but this time, Lionsgate will also join the production camp.

In other words, shared copyright…

Shen Xudong did not agree - the "Ghost Chronicles" series is a gold mine, with low cost and a huge box office. It is a very typical type of film that makes a big difference with a small amount and is famous for its large amount of money!

Michael Burns still wanted to insist, but Shen Xudong directly said, 'Either you publish it, or I find New Line! ’

Having said all that, Michael Burns can only agree...

Why look for new lines?

Because New Line released "Taken", it won the box office title in its first week, surpassing "The Jungle Book" and "The Purge"...
