Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 22 22. Boredom, I want to see a river of blood

If you were asked to sign a contract with Huayi, would you be willing?

Liu Tianxian hesitated and asked: Can I star in a blockbuster if I sign with Huayi?

Wei Wu pondered: It's hard to say, I can only say that there is a chance. But you can negotiate with them before signing the contract, and then make some agreements in the relevant terms.

In fact, Wei Wu didn't tell the truth because he didn't want Liu Tianxian to sign a contract with Huayi at all.

At present, Liu Tianxian is signed by her own small workshop, Hongxingwu, which is basically a grassroots team. She is the only artist in the company. Her godfather Chen Jinfei contributes more than 70% of the shares, and her mother Liu Xiaoli is an executive and holds a small amount of shares.

Now if Wei Wu wants to interfere with Liu Tianxian's decision-making, he basically only needs to go through Liu Xiaoli's hurdle.

But when she signed with Huayi, the situation became very complicated. Big companies were not as easy to talk to as her own mother and godfather.

But then again, if Liu Tianxian is willing to sign a contract with Huayi, her wish to star in a blockbuster film will definitely be realized soon.

In her previous life, she had not yet signed a contract with Huayi, and she had been delayed for two years with Neon. Her popularity and fan stickiness have declined compared to their peak years.

But Huayi still resisted the protests of her artists and gave her the heroine of The King of Kung Fu.

That was Jackie Chan + Jet Li. At that time, it was the highest-invested film in China. It was produced by a famous Hollywood film and could be released in North America. The path to ascension was just around the corner.

I don’t know how many people are salivating at this big fat piece of meat, but it turns out that outsiders are getting an advantage. It’s strange that Huayi’s own female artists don’t make trouble!

In hindsight, if Huayi had given the role of Jin Yanzi to Fan Bingbing, he might not have gone solo in 2007.

Although in his previous life, when the movie was launched in May 2007, Fan Bingbing had already gone solo.

But generally speaking, for such a big project, no matter how hasty Huayi is, she has to start casting preparations one year in advance. She must still be in the company in 2006!

But in this case, there is a high probability that Li Bingbing will be the one to leave.

After all, the two soldiers have been fighting openly and secretly for the throne of the first sister for seven years. At this time, asking Li to match Fan is tantamount to the company being sidetracked. The official conclusion of the dispute between the first sister is final. How can she swallow this tone? ?

Thinking of this, Wei Wu was also a little curious. In this life, he would definitely intervene to prevent Liu Tianxian from picking up this tasteless and regrettable hot potato.

Although the box office of The King of Kung Fu seems to be okay, the mainland's 170 million US dollars ranked fifth in the year, and North America's 52 million US dollars ranked 54th in the year.

However, with a total global box office of US$125 million, compared to an investment of US$70 million, it is definitely a heavy loss.

The commercial failure is secondary. The key point is that this movie is a big mess, and the co-production is a sinkhole that no one can save. Even if Liu Tianxian were asked to increase his performance to 100, it would still be of no avail.

The two kung fu emperors joined forces, and the audience was eager to tell each other. As a result, the Douban score was 5.8. All I can say is - it's crazy!

It can be said that the audience had high expectations before the movie was released, but how disappointed it was after it was released.

If possible, Wei Wu really wanted to shout for himself and those who bought tickets:

()()()!()()!

For such a bad movie, it is really not worth offending the leader of domestic entertainment, Hua Yi.

With the system in place, Wei Wu believed that he could definitely convince Liu Tianxian not to accept the film.

But if Liu Tianxian withdraws on his own initiative, in order to compete for the heroine, as the two soldiers in the near water, it will surely be another exciting round of fighting between the dragon and the tiger. I wonder who will win in the end?

It is still the same as in the previous life, the snipe and the clam are fighting, and in the end the fisherman outside takes advantage.

I’m so looking forward to it. Wei Wu couldn’t help but think of an emoticon:

[Bored, I want to see blood flowing into a river]

Hey, what are you thinking about? Why are you smiling so...weirdly?

In fact, Liu Tianxian originally wanted to say obscene, but considering that Wei Wu was not too ambitious, he changed it to a more neutral word.

Wei Wu temporarily stopped masturbating, regained his attention, waved his hand and said:

Nothing. I'm just curious, why are you so obsessed with making blockbusters?

Liu Tianxian said matter-of-factly: Because now only blockbusters attract attention, and can ensure film schedules and box office! I definitely don't want no one to watch the movies I make!

Did you know? I read in the newspaper at that time that our movie Love Winner only received 60,000 yuan at the box office in the entire Yanjing area.

There is no suspense that this movie is at the bottom of the Valentine's Day movies. People say that this is not a big winner in love, but a big loser in love. I almost stopped crying.

Then the newspaper also said that as of press time, the box office of Hancheng Strategy has reached close to 30 million. After watching it, I wanted to cry even more.

Wei Wu curled his lips, Hancheng Raiders is not a good movie, but this movie only got 7.38 million box office in Hong Kong Island, but it still managed to get more than 41 million in the mainland, ranking first in the year. eleven.

No wonder these days, even the three major mainland directors follow industry conventions and choose Hong Kong stars as their male and female leads, because with those faces, some people here really buy it!

However, the fact that this film has such a high box office may also be related to the high box office of the first part of the Raiders series, Tokyo Raiders.

However, the quality of Tokyo Raiders can only be said to be passable, but it actually earned 28 million Hong Kong dollars in Hong Kong Island, becoming the runner-up in the Hong Kong Island box office in 2000.

What else can I say? I can only say that Brother Haonan was really popular in those years at the turn of the century! The Fifth Heavenly King is really not messing with you.

Wei Wu understood what Liu Tianxian meant, and to put it bluntly, he wanted to be a bastard.

After all, she currently has basically no box office appeal in the film field. Although he can’t be considered a newcomer after making two movies, he’s not much better than a newcomer, right?

At this time, it is obviously unrealistic for you to expect her to carry the box office, so it is best to follow the big boss. This boss can be a great director or an actor with great box office appeal.

Anyway, let’s get familiar with each other first, and then we’ll get up naturally.

In fact, she is not the only one who thinks so. Many new actors who have just entered the industry now probably think so.

However, Liu Tianxian is now the host of the system and is a powerful figure in the field of TV dramas, yet he is so hopeless. This is something Wei Wu did not expect.

Wei Wu immediately expressed his dissatisfaction: Can't you have some dreams? Even if the blockbuster is successful at the box office, to be honest, it has little to do with you!

First think of a way to come up with a good script, then perform it well, and finally it will be a box office success, and all the credit will naturally be yours.

Liu Tianxian was a little moved, but immediately sighed:

It's easy to say, but good scripts are hard to come by. Besides, I don't know how to choose scripts. It's too difficult for me!

Wei Wu pretended to be serious and smiled without saying a word. Liu Tianxian immediately sat up straight, blinked his eyes, and said in a gentle and flattering voice:

Brother Xiao Wu~ It can't be such a coincidence. You happen to have a good script in your hand, right?
