Chapter 342 Talented
Wang Yi is an expert at making the audience feel cold. Right now, Mrs. Jiang is still criticizing Stephen Chow, and the movie is at its hottest, and now you are saying that Director Zhou can make billions at the box office.
It really made several people not know how to respond.
"Haha, that should be the case. Director Zhou... is indeed very talented and has a very good foundation. My leading male roles back then were all overshadowed by him."
After a few seconds of silence, the authentic Hua Tianwang finally spoke up to resolve the awkwardness.
After all, Mrs. Jiang is also his boss's wife, so this attack might be prompted by Boss Jiang.
However, despite such pressure, given his status as a superstar, he is still qualified to play the role of a smoother person.
In fact, Hua Tianwang is a very diligent and loyal actor. Given his status, if he had slowed down the speed at which he accepted films and been more selective with the scripts, his pay would definitely have increased.
But with favors here and connections there, this not-so-young superstar still lives like a model worker and will even go ahead with some obviously bad movies.
Because he took on so many films, his pay was even relatively low.
Don’t be fooled by the fact that he is a superstar, and even though he is definitely very popular now, his pay is actually less than half of many second-tier stars in the mainland.
After quickly talking about this matter, he immediately changed the subject and said
"I recently heard that your mainland world company is launching a new talent support program, which costs 300 million yuan per year. This is definitely a big deal. To be honest, you really need to give newcomers more opportunities, otherwise, it may become as dead as ours."
Although he was changing the subject, there was some envy and emotion in Hua Tianwang's eyes when he said this.
Now Hong Kong no longer cultivates new talents. When they really want to make a movie, they still let these old guys take the lead. The cost recovery is guaranteed. It seems that they are just squeezing out the last bit of value from Hong Kong entertainment and don't care about life or death at all.
This was still very uncomfortable for a man of Hua Tianwang's temperament.
Although he has launched some support programs and often helps newcomers by reducing their pay, the effect is ultimately limited.
Now we see that the domestic entertainment industry is not only developing rapidly, but also has box office records of billions! There are also companies with deep pockets like the world that directly spend money to support newcomers, which is really sad.
To put it bluntly, even for those top directors, an investment of 300 million is enough to make some blockbusters.
"With TT as your back, you won't lose money in general, and you may even make money, so it doesn't matter."
Wang Yi said lightly.
This made Li Weida, who came over next to you and didn't say much, look strange. You could actually end up talking about yourself.
this……
Can we just say that the world's companies are too powerful?
Anyway, his task is to make Wang Yi have fun. If the other party is interested, then just continue the conversation.
Because of Xiangyu’s previous strength, many people grew up watching Xiangyu’s films, so it is normal for them to have some unique feelings about them.
"That's not the case. The world is still very risky if it does this."
Hua Tianwang gave a rare and simple rebuttal, but after all, they had just met, so he couldn't say too much.
Capital likes famous directors and traffic because they can provide a bottom line and the box office has a basic guarantee, and everything else has to take second place!
Most investments are made to make money , how many are made for sentiment?
When it comes to movies, it's true that even good wine needs to be hidden in a remote alley. After all, the schedule is limited. If there is suppression in the scheduling of films, it will be easy for high-quality films to be inferior to relationship films.
If you have a famous director and traffic at the beginning, then you will have an advantage in the initial screening schedule. Then you can buy some internet trolls to hype it up and boost word of mouth. As long as the film is not too bad, the profits are usually guaranteed.
"Well, maybe the risk isn't that great. With World Company backing it up, it's actually difficult to get compensation."
Li Weida joined the conversation with a smile.
As the topic was diverted, several other people also expressed their own opinions.
While talking about the prosperity of the inland, he was also lamenting the work of World Company and the horror of the two previous films produced by World Company.
Several people knew Li Weida and knew that he was from the Li family and was a musician. Although his status in the Li family had improved recently, he was generally at the same level as them.
Therefore, communication seems smooth and natural, without much restraint.
But every time he changed the topic, Wang Yi would bring it back to Zhou Xingxing.
Or maybe your opinion on the conflict between Zhao Kung Fu and Zhen Kung Fu.
Wang Yi is from the mainland, while they are from Hong Kong, so asking this question really made them speechless.
If it happens every time, then they are all smart people. Since they understand Wang Yi's intention, after all, these two things have been hot topics recently, this must be intentional. At the moment, Zha Hui spoke first.
"This... To be honest, I'm not familiar with Stephen Chow, so I don't know much about it. I don't know much about Kung Fu movies either."
When the others wanted to express their opinions and end the topic, Wang Yi looked at Zha Hui and smiled.
"No way, I remember that he played a supporting role in your famous movie. Don't you know him well?"
Wang Yi's face was full of curiosity, which almost made Zha Hui embarrassed.
However, on this ship, people in the entertainment industry could not have the temperament to act like big shots, so apart from laughing dryly, they were speechless for a while.
It was Hua Tianwang who spoke up to resolve the issue.
"In the beginning, it was Director Jing who wanted to promote him as a favor. It was mainly Director Jing's favor. Director Zhou is more focused on work and filming, and is more career-oriented, so there may not be many people who are close to him personally. I am his fan and I admire his acting skills very much, but we don't have much contact in private."
"Yeah, I've never worked with him, so I don't know much about him."
Qingyun also spoke with a smile to ease the awkwardness .
This made Wang Yi very disappointed. He originally wanted you to reveal some information, but you are all too conservative.
But it's true, having gotten to this point and being in a place like this, it would be impossible not to be steady.
"Who don't you know very well? Were you talking about Stephen Chow just now?"
At this moment, a somewhat lazy young male voice came over.
A man in his thirties with a single earring came over with a charming deep V beauty in his arms, a smile on his face.
Mr. Jiang quite likes this kind of activity. With his past criminal background, he has quite a wide network of contacts here.
Especially in the entertainment industry, if you stomp your feet, you will shake three times.
This time when I came here, I just happened to catch a glimpse of a beautiful and graceful figure chatting with people in the entertainment industry.
Although it was just a back view, the graceful curves and the ups and downs of her body really made him feel aroused immediately.
When I walked over, I seemed to hear them talking about Stephen Chow and something like they were not familiar with each other.
Recently, my mother has been criticizing Stephen Chow. In this case, these people must be discussing the voices that I like to hear.
Just come here to meet some beautiful ladies.
Although he also brought a beautiful female companion, there was no harm in getting to know her.
He also recognized Li Weida who was facing him sideways.
Although this person is from the Li family, he is just a marginal figure. He was a little surprised that he was able to get on the ship. He should not be qualified.
The few people who were chatting paused when they saw Mr. Jiang, and then they greeted him one after another.
"Master Jiang, have you found a new female companion? She's very pretty."
"I've never seen this before. Young Master Jiang is really capable."
"We were just chatting with our friend from the mainland. He might want to know something about Zhou Xingxing, but we are not familiar with him, so we can't answer him."
While greeting each other, several people also gave some brief explanations.
We can't let this young master misunderstand. He is not as smooth as his parents and is very stupid. If he really misunderstands, he may lose face.
"Wow, what can we say about Zhou Xingxing, a guy with bad character? It's really gloomy..."
But the next moment, Jiang Sheng saw Wang Yi and Qian Yayan turning from the side, and his expressions became stiff for a moment.
It’s a flop!
Why are they the two?
Why didn’t I know they would come up too?
The beautiful woman's face that haunted his dreams left a deep impression on him and he could never forget it.
The main thing is that I can’t forget what happened after we met at the airport last time!
He just arranged for someone to go to the airline to get some information. He had done this many times.
But the result was that he was caught and interrogated for a long time!
Even after the incident, he didn't know who the other person was.
But what is certain is that this is definitely the kind that you can't afford to offend.
He believed that even the head of the Li family could not receive such treatment.
"Mr. Jiang, this is our master's distinguished guest."
At this time, the captain of the Li family bodyguards, who had been observing the situation around him, took the lead and stepped forward to greet Jiang Sheng in a neither arrogant nor humble manner.
There was nothing wrong with the group of people in the entertainment industry before. They were very smart and it was easy for the distinguished guests to find out about them.
However, Mr. Jiang has always been domineering. He was worried that the other party would offend the distinguished guest, so he came forward and called out his name first to avoid being embarrassed later.
When Mr. Jiang saw the captain of the Li family's bodyguards, he also felt that it was completely natural.
Only a distinguished guest recognized by the head of the Li family can have such influence!
No, even in Jiang Sheng's eyes, the other party's power is even higher than that of the head of the Li family!
"Hey, little brother, we meet again. What did you say just now?"
Wang Yi turned around and looked at Jiang Sheng, smiled and nodded as a greeting.
And his casual attitude made several people in the entertainment industry secretly shocked!
They were all smart people. Judging from the attitudes and reactions at the scene, they naturally knew that the power of this young man from the inland might be even greater than they originally imagined!
Much bigger!
"Um, do you like Stephen Chow's movies?"
“I quite like it.”
"I just said he was very talented..."
