Become a dramatist from today

While Lao Tu and Huang Baiyou, the daily managers of the studio, were explaining, Pei Wen's angry voice came from the office next to him, "I don't care, Jingzhou must live."

"It's very difficult for a substitute to stay alive."

"Then I don't care, change it! Change the script, Jingzhou must survive."

"We discussed this issue yesterday. If the substitute wants to live, then the script must be overturned and rewritten. Didn't we agree on it yesterday? Why did we change our minds again today?"

Then the voice became quieter,

"You see, this is a big deal." Lao Tu sighed, "I have worked with him for so many years, and I am used to it. His "Shadow" will participate in the three major European films, so he is extra serious."

"It's understandable that a good script requires careful craftsmanship." Huang Baiyou felt a little more confident about the audition because he almost predicted the director's ideas.

Although he has just been promoted to the front line, it is difficult to go further, but it is not impossible, such as taking over the filming of Pei Wen's "Shadow".

Lao Tu sent Huang Baiyou to the parking lot, apologized a lot, and finally exchanged contact information.

"Don't blame Lao Pei." Lao Tu finally said.

"Of course." Huang Baiyou chuckled.

Huang Baiyou didn't say anything on the surface, but he actually felt that Lao Tu was using Pei Wen's reputation to gain his own connections. This kind of person has big plans.

I made an appointment with my agent for dinner to have something to eat and talk about.

In order to facilitate conversation, we ate hot pot.

"I haven't seen the Korean version of "Goblin", but the Chinese version is called "The Lonely and Brilliant God". This kind of theme with gods and ghosts cannot be a star, right?" Huang Baiyou asked, picking up a pair of duck intestines with chopsticks.

"Probably not." Chen Zixian added, "But Mr. Su said that the total investment for this series can exceed 100 million. It is rare for urban dramas to have such investment."

"Brother Chen, I just starred in "Mr. Butterfly". Even though I didn't gain a foothold in Hollywood, I returned to China with my reputation and then returned to China to film online dramas. Isn't it too low-key?" Huang Bai said that he had not found his footing. It’s not that he’s being self-effacing, at least there aren’t any serious scripts coming to him at the moment.

There are quite a few crooked scripts, but they are all useless.

Chen Zixian ate Huang Baiyou's boiled kidney slices, and Huang Baiyou was not to be outdone and took away the other party's Thousand-layer Belly.

"I'm demoting myself. Okay, we will give full consideration to your idea, Baiyou." Chen Zixian affirmed the other party first, and then said, "The package salary of 30 million can even reach 35 million, and the salary for a single episode exceeds one million. , this price can increase one’s worth.”

Before Mr. Butterfly, Huang Baiyou's price was around 500,000 per episode, and after it was released, it would probably rise to 800,000. This salary is already the ceiling for 99% of domestic actors. Even if many movie stars "come down to earth" to act in dramas, they still can't get enough. Just stay here.

The script of "The Invisible Guardian" was good, and Huang Baiyou was willing to give up the profits, so he accepted the 700,000 yuan episode.

"It's easy to come down as a celebrity, but it's difficult to rise up again. My point of view is that we need to look at the long-term benefits." Huang Baiyou also has a clear plan for his career. "You can star in idol dramas, but at least you need to be in the top tier. Star drama."

"It is indeed necessary to appear in star dramas, and Bai You said the same thing." Chen Zixian said, "But Bai You is also very popular in South Korea, and the company happens to have the ability to do this. Once this road is open, Bai You You will be influential across Asia, and only a handful of actors in China can achieve this."

This pie is very big, and you may not be able to eat it all. The current situation is to stabilize the domestic market.

The contradiction between Huang Baiyou and Chen Zixian is clear at a glance. The former values ​​​​more his own long-term planning, while the latter values ​​​​the company's interests more. If the branch is opened in South Korea, it does not matter whether it makes money or not, as long as it can be responsible for its own profits and losses, both of them will raise the stock price of Jinyi Film and Television. It is very helpful. The big target of listed companies is the stock price.

"Brother Chen, our interests are actually the same. Since Whale Entertainment still wants to invite me, why not remake a South Korean film? An investment of 100 million is enough to film a star drama." Huang Bai lobbied for a compromise.

"Yes, I'm sorry Bai You, I'm a little impatient, and I can't bear to see your overseas popularity disappear in vain." After hearing this, Chen Zixian felt that this method was feasible, so he apologized first.

"Come and eat the kidney slices." Chen Zixian fished for a long time but didn't pick it up because he had eaten all of it.

"It's really delicious. I'll order another one." Chen Zixian scanned the QR code to add another dish.

Huang Baiyou said: "Brother Chen also eats more Thousand Layer Belly."

Then the two of them enjoyed hot pot happily.

After the meal, Chen Zixian sent Huang Baiyou to the car and specially asked Lao Gu to pay attention to safety.

"The concepts are still somewhat different." Huang Baiyou closed his eyes.

In the past two weeks, the cumulative box office of "M. Butterfly" in China has reached 440 million yuan, which is converted into more than 50 million US dollars.

According to the account sharing agreement, Hollywood will also receive more than 15 million in small sums. Searchlight Pictures President Farley is flattered that even if the Golden Globe Awards does not go according to his plan, Babette can still accept it if he wins. Anyway, the meat is rotten. in the pot.

So why did Searchlight Pictures still spend money to do public relations for Chinese stars for free when Babette and Huang Baiyou won awards? Isn't it obvious which gimmick is bigger, "Barbet's Golden Globe Award-winning work "M. Butterfly"" or "The first Asian Best Actor in the history of Golden Globe Award, the mysterious oriental beauty "M. Butterfly""?

It is an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry around the world that if a movie makes a big profit, the crew needs to be given red envelopes. "M. Butterfly" is a small profit, so there is no need to give red envelopes, but red envelopes were still given to Conan Bolin, Huang Baiyou, and Babette. The blue ones The envelope opened to reveal a check for twenty thousand dollars.

Huang Baiyou now has three major achievements -

830 million yuan of "The Gun Runs the Plank"

Drama series that became popular overseas: "Seven Me"

1.35 billion yuan (US$190 million globally) for "M. Butterfly"

There is no rival at the same age!

The brokerage company's promotional articles directly promoted the number one post-1995 niche. In fact, if they weren't afraid of offending people, they would have wanted to promote themselves as "post-90s".

Jinyi Film and Television is proud to display these achievements on the homepage of its official website, and Huang Baiyou's position is ranked in front of Jinyi's former brother and sister.

Both the company's official website and Baidu Encyclopedia introduction have been modified.

Mao Ning and Zhen Kai, the former top stars of Jinyi, did not encourage fans to regain their status or anything, and even tried their best to restrain themselves. The manager is also worried, worried that some fans will really kill his brother.

After all, the anti-fans just want Giegie to quit the industry, while the die-hard fans want him to fight against the world!

"Look at Huang Baiyou's own Weibo introduction. There is no path to life in his masterpieces." Mao Ning clicked on Huang's Weibo.

"Yes, if it were me, I would definitely add more than 3 billion to "Life Road"." Zhen Kai agreed deeply.

"This is a box office of 3 billion, plus 5 billion for actors and actresses," Mao Ning said.

Mao Ning and Zhen Kai looked at each other and saw the answer in each other's eyes, because Huang Baiyou didn't want to use non-starring movies to collect box office, and he was confident enough in his subsequent acting career.

This kind of confidence is enviable!

As traffic stars promoted by Jin Yi, they are full of confusion about their future.

Don't panic, take it step by step, and the protagonist will rise to the top in one step. It won't look good either. I didn't think about it either, but that's about it.

In addition, from the documentary "Shadow", we can learn that Zhang Yimou was "playing helpless" and had to live as a substitute.
