Choose a day to become famous

It’s true that Jiang Yuqian really needs this opportunity now, but she hasn’t reached the point where she keeps lowering her bottom line.

In the final analysis, she wants to take the international route to make her career better, not to break through a bottom line, and make Hollywood people think that she is a cheap actor.

She didn't say that she had to get a very high pay before she could act in a certain drama.

If the film production budget is limited, each actor has a low pay, and she likes the script very much, then of course she can also reduce the pay a little.

But if the salary given to her is so low and others can get the salary normally, how can that be possible?

“After all, it’s because they know that the Day of Destruction we are in contact is shelved, so our subsequent schedules are empty, and we know that we have been actively contacting the heroines of Hollywood movies, so they maliciously lowered the price and felt that we would agree. "He Heng said.

Jiang Yuqian took a deep breath and shook her head.

"Our movements are indeed a bit obvious. Everything is written on the face and is clearly seen." Jiang Yuqian said, "It's completely different to begging others to go to a project if you want me to go to a project if you want someone else. .”

"To put it bluntly, we are watching us as Asians and know that we want to play in Hollywood movies, so we think we can control us."

He Heng sighed with some annoyance and said to Jiang Yuqian: "Actually, I have been reflecting on something recently."

"What's the matter?" Jiang Yuqian asked.

"Are we too persistent in participating in Hollywood film and television works?" He Heng said, "Especially, we have seen Yan He's success, so we always subconsciously benchmark him and refer to him. Of course, I'm not It’s not important to say that film and television works are not important. I mean, in fact, many popular stars may not have such successful film and television works. We don’t accept inappropriate film and television works, so there is no need to force them.”

Taking the celebrity route, is it secondly whether the film and television works are successful or not. The key is whether you are popular enough and whether you are always being followed by everyone.

Jiang Yuqian said: "But if we want to take the international route and do not participate in Hollywood film and television works, how can we let people around the world see me through Hollywood's global promotion channels?"

He Heng said: "This is the question I really want to tell you. Should we take the international route, should we really become a star with international popularity and influence, or use the international route? To be a label for you among Chinese stars, in fact, the main basic market is still in China. These are two concepts.”

Jiang Yuqian understood.

She looked at He Heng in surprise.

He Heng said: "If it is the former, then we have to continue to work hard to find projects and resources, but if it is the latter, our current strategy should change. At most, we have two films and TV series in Hollywood. It is enough to have one movie in three years and attend more internationally influential events in normal times."

Jiang Yuqian quickly understood what He Heng meant.

In fact, for Jiang Yuqian, it is not difficult for her to star in some overseas film and television dramas now. With the drama "Squid Game", she is not an unknown person to various overseas production companies, and is also a Chinese actress who has a certain reputation in everyone's mind. For Jiang Yuqian now, the resources that can be obtained are the roles of some mainstream, A-level heroines, and the real global spokesperson of top brands. This truly valuable business Title is the important month for top fashion magazines. People's cover...

If Jiang Yuqian really wants to take a real internationalization path and become a female star who is truly recognized by the world, then she cannot turn a blind eye to these difficult resources. She must try her best to conquer and give herself The resume of gold marking. But if, as He Heng said, she just needs to have a "international" label to facilitate her to consolidate her status as a female star in China, she can never fight like this, as long as she takes the image of a Chinese actress from time to time Appearing in some international occasions is enough for her to stand firm in her current position.

Jiang Yuqian hardly hesitated.

"When I can fight, I still want to fight." Jiang Yuqian said, "Since I have played the slogan of internationalization, if I just become an international star in the eyes of Chinese people, it would be too self-deception. It's boring. I really can't make it anymore in the future. I can only use this method to make a living. Now... I think it's nothing, I just fight. Guan Guan is sad. If they don't want to give this role to normal Market price, then I won’t act.”

He Heng nodded.

"Then we will meet the next chance to play the leading actress in a Hollywood movie," she reminded.

"It's okay." Jiang Yuqian nodded, "Hollywood really has no show. I don't have any show in China. Why do I have to come here to suffer such a loss? Moreover, it's OK like before. If you go to a big director's movie, you can only play a movie that only I am willing to play the supporting roles in two or three shots, but I will give me a pay for a supporting role that is worse than a supporting role. I can't help but feel embarrassed."

He Heng: "It's true. Once this matter is exposed, it will be really embarrassing."

"By the way." He Heng suddenly remembered something and asked, "You have heard of the news that Li Zhibai is going to star in "Burning Live"?"

"I heard it." Jiang Yuqian nodded, "What's wrong?"

"Have you ever talked to Lu Yanhe in private? Since he has a script that can play the leading role for Li Zhibai, maybe he also plays the leading role for you," said He Heng.

Jiang Yuqian: "Maybe there is, but we don't take the initiative to disturb him. If he really has a role that suits me, he will definitely come to tell me, so I don't need to ask. Moreover, Sister Heng, I hope that in addition to Yan He, we can also accumulate our own connections and strength overseas. I especially admire Yan He. Wherever he goes, he can take root in that place, like the movie "Buried Alive" The movie was developed by his production company in the United States and the production company directed by Lune Rees. "

"He is in a special situation, and we can't learn it casually." He Heng shook his head, "If he had not had the identity of a screenwriter and had not produced the scripts "Buried Alive" and "Source Code", he would be just an Asian in Hollywood. The very representative actors among the Americans cannot be like they are now. They have entered the development level of some projects as soon as they start."

Jiang Yuqian asked: "Sister Heng, do you think I can lead the development of a work?"

"Ah?" He Heng was stunned.

"For example, I have read a very good novel now. I think this novel is suitable for developing into a movie or a drama. I will buy the copyright and develop it." Jiang Yuqian said.

"The idea is good, but it is difficult to realize. Just look at the "Records of the Nineteen Years of Crime" by Li Zhibai. It was still with the help of many people, and they all became like that." He Heng said, "A project is developed from scratch, and it takes too much effort to consume. Unless you do nothing this year and invest all of it in this project, you have to find someone who can understand you. People who think and know what you want to be, help you become a producer, and do these things."

Jiang Yuqian nodded.

"But, I think Yan He has something right. If an actor wants to gain the right to speak and control over his career, he cannot wait for the script to come to him forever." Jiang Yuqian said, "It was not before." How, but now I want to slowly get involved in this aspect.”

He Heng: "Of course, of course, that's OK."

Jiang Yuqian: "Actually, every time I encounter some problems in my own career, I can't help but be surprised by Lu Yanhe. You see, he takes every step very accurately, and afterwards, he is planning ahead. The effect. We are still spinning like a donkey pulling a mill on the actor track, and he is already opening up a new track by himself. People can't compare with each other."

"There is no need to compare, everyone is different. In fact, our domestic film and television industry has not become the global center like the United States. Otherwise, as long as you are a top female star in China, you will naturally become popular around the world. "He Heng said, "You are actually doing a great job. People like Lu Yanhe, let alone China, do you think there are young people in Hollywood who can compete with him?"

"Stop talking. Every time I see some new moves coming from him in Hollywood, I really want to ask myself, what am I doing, why do I feel like I am not in the same Hollywood with him? Projects come one after another, but I have repeatedly hit a wall." Jiang Yuqian nodded and said firmly, "Actually, in the end, I still have no core competitiveness, and this is the most important thing."

He Heng nodded, "On the one hand, he is strong, and on the other hand, he is really lucky. Look, in the movie "Mist" he is just a villain. Although he is also a starring actor, the focus is not on him. However, since the filming began, several news that attracted much attention had been around him and Asians, which tilted the focus of the movie to him little by little. Before it was released, even this movie was The promotional strategy of the movie has become to see how an Asian ghost takes revenge on the story of a fierce murder of his family back then.

This is really luck on his side. If it weren't for this reason, it would be impossible for everyone to attribute most of the success of "Mist" to him. There is another place he is now highly valued, which is him The Asian market represented by the back - This movie allows Hollywood to see that Asians themselves have a box office market, and there was no consensus in the past. This is why, we have actually come into contact with a lot of people over the past year. There weren't so many English scripts with Asian characters before. ”

He Heng said again: "So, I think this is also an advantage for you. You have a representative work and are Asian again. It has caught up with the trend of Asian characters in Hollywood. In addition to this kind of vicious price reduction project, we still have other You can choose the project. A few years ago, if you wanted to go to Hollywood, you might not meet an Asian character with lines in a year."

Jiang Yuqian: "The Asians I meet here are basically the ones who will definitely talk about the movie "Mist" and you can really feel what this movie means to the Asian community in Hollywood."

"Don't "Mistress" also develop sequels?" He Heng said, "The filming will start next year. I guess the sequel of "Mistress" will definitely play Asian cards more clearly by then. Maybe there will be a role that suits you, then you Definitely one of the most competitive candidates.”

"But they may choose actors from other countries. "Mistress" cannot be released in China, but will be released in other Asian countries such as South Korea and Japan. Choosing actors from these countries will also help the sequel to "Mistress" at the local box office. "Jiang Yuqian said, "And it can also make the movie's cast more diversified. Isn't this what Hollywood advocates the most now?"

He Heng said: "It all depends on your ability. I have already contacted A19, and A19 will also ask Lu Yanhe for advice. It's a pity. Originally, you are the heroine of the movie "Doom Day". Very promising."

Jiang Yuqian: "There is nothing to do."

At this moment, He Heng's cell phone suddenly rang.

She took it in her hand, glanced at it, and said, "Wait a minute, Stephen is calling."

Stephen is Jiang Yuqian's agent in the United States, and he is basically responsible for Jiang Yuqian's work in the United States.

About five minutes later, He Heng came back.

She showed surprise.

"Just just now, the Washington Post reported the reason behind Tom Filton's withdrawal from "Doom Day". It is said that he had physical problems due to overdose, so he could not work properly. Stephen said that the movie "Doom Day" should have The turning point will continue to advance. Parameter asked him about your schedule. Although there is no conclusion yet, there is a high possibility of continuing to advance."

He Heng's words made Jiang Yuqian look surprised.

-

"So, is this coming back from the dead?"

Lu Yanhe, who has been paying attention to this project, also asked Chen Ziyan in surprise.

Chen Ziyan said: "Parameter has definitely spent some money on developing this movie in the early stage. Tom Felton's previous reason for withdrawal has caused a lot of doubts. Now it has been exposed. The reason for Tom Felton's withdrawal has been different. If it happens, then the previous reason will be self-defeating, and the situation in "Doom Day" will naturally turn around."

"But, this movie must still need a top celebrity like Tom Filton to star in order to promote the project normally, right?"

"That depends on whether they will still plan to use the original production budget to make this movie," said Chen Ziyan. "It is also possible that the budget will be downgraded and the movie will become a B-level film."

Lu Yanhe said: "There are many special effects scenes in this movie. If it becomes a B-level film, can it be watched?"

"Can you see it...it's not clear. Parameters and others can settle the score anyway, so they won't suffer any losses."

"It's one thing not to suffer losses. If the movie is too bad, then do we still want to help Teacher Jiang Jun compete for this movie?"

Chen Ziyan shook her head, "If you really want to make a B-level film, then forget it. Before, Teacher Jiang Jun competed and fought, and after all, he was the male lead in the Hollywood A-level production, which was of great help to his career development, but If it becomes a B-level film... it doesn't mean that there will be no good works in the B-level film, but it is not worthy of the actors in the current position of Teacher Jiang Jun, which invisibly lowers the market's recognition of him."

Lu Yanhe nodded, "I feel so too. I was already embarrassed to ask Teacher Jiang Jun to help us compete with Chen Pinhe for roles."

"Then there is no need to feel embarrassed. It is normal for Jiang Jun to compete for a good project." Chen Ziyan said, "Even if there is no matter between you and Chen Pinhe, I know this project, and I will definitely go to Jiang for this project." The military strives for such a level of resources, as long as it is a suitable male actor, it is impossible not to strive for them."

Lu Yanhe: "I know, but we must objectively admit that I did pull him down for my business. Chen Pinhe will definitely remember him."
