--"SINA entertainment"

"China's popular writer and actor Fopper won the title of Best Actor at the Venice Film Festival for his film "The Tuner". This is the fourth person in China to win the title of Best Actor at the three major film festivals."

"Huaxia Movies has taken another big step! "The Tuner" won the Silver Lion Award for Best Actor!"

——"China Entertainment News"

"The rise of cutting-edge directors! Ning Hao won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival for "The Tuner" in one fell swoop!"

——"New Entertainment Weekly"

Various entity reports appeared on the mainland, making the names of Fopper and Ning Hao widely reported in the past few days.However, because the entertainment industry discovered that Fopper has now obtained a green card from the United States, although he is not yet an American citizen, but for various reasons.In terms of domestic media reports, Ning Hao's exposure is still much greater than Fopper's.

But even so, because someone with good intentions associated the name Goldfinger with Fopper.Therefore, even though Ning Hao's exposure is far greater than Fopper's, the speed of becoming famous is still far behind Fopper's.

Although it's only been less than a month, the name Goldfinger and his Goldfinger Studio have already become famous in China.After the end of "Living with the Doctor", "Bubble Summer" once again led a trend.In fact, the pseudonym Goldfinger is already comparable to many famous writers.

The charm of romance novels is unstoppable among women.Not to mention the female students in middle and high school, girls of this age have fantasies about youth and love, which makes them especially fond of novels.And word of mouth from person to person made Fopper famous.

On the one hand, the Huaxia entertainment circle was full of storms because of the "Tuner", on the other hand, Fopper officially boarded the plane to Hollywood with his friends.

Hollywood is not only the birthplace of global fashion, but also the center of the global music and film industry. It has the world's top entertainment industry and luxury brands, leading and representing the highest level of global fashion.This is the heaven for all teenagers and girls who dream of becoming a star, and of course, it is also their hell.Every year, every month, every day, countless handsome men and women come here.Of course, there are only a few who can become stars in the end.Thousands and hundreds of times more quasi-stars than this number, their destination is the bars and cafes near Hollywood.Then wait until I am no longer young, and then return to my hometown with regrets for an ordinary life.

In fact, even if "The Tuner" won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, Fopper's reputation has not improved much. In other words, for Hollywood in the United States, Fopper is a new and impossible In new person again.Even because of his attributes of the yellow race, he was inherently weaker than others.Therefore, for several days in a row, Fopper and his party did not make much progress.

"In other words, all of our applications have been returned, right?" Seeing Yuqing's angry face, Fopper had to turn his head to comfort her at this moment: "This is also a common thing. Isn't it?"

"But Fuzi, you are the film king! How could they not even give you a chance to audition!" It doesn't matter if you don't hear Fu Po's words, as soon as Fo Po opened his mouth, Yu Qing exploded.

Fopper has never had a specific agent. Even if he officially stepped into the entertainment circle, he would do a little bit of things by himself, and his friends would help him a little.But with the popularity of "The Tuner", Fopper had to start looking for a suitable agent.And it just so happened that Yuqing, who met Fopper and the others after getting the copyright of "Sophia's Diary" and getting the copyright of "Sophia's Diary" to Portugal, wanted to try this career.Therefore, out of the principle of not letting the fat and water flow to outsiders, Fopper formally signed an agreement with Yuqing, agreeing that she would become his exclusive manager.

"Or is it really like what Alexia said, we need to join the CAA?"

"No need to join." Hearing Yuqing's words, Fopper shook his head and said.In fact, Fopper also knows that only artists who join the CAA agency can get more and better resources.After all, no matter where it is, it is a relational society, and a giant brokerage company with a big business will often be favored by more classic script crews.However, this does not mean that Fopper is also applicable.

First of all, to put it bluntly, Fopper is of the yellow race.

In fact, racial discrimination in the entertainment industry is also very important, not only because of culture, but also because many movies involve the content of the country and race, so it is a well-known fact that people of yellow race cannot get along in Hollywood.If Fopper joins CAA, apart from being a small supporting role in some specific movies, the rest will only end up being refrigerated.

Afterwards, CAA fell in love with Fopper even because of his title of best actor in Venice.But he won't get the highest A-list either.In fact, Fopper expressed doubts about whether he could get a B-list.Moreover, after joining the CAA, there will be some restrictions on Fopper.

Ten years is not long or short.But in fact, it is very difficult to go from an unknown actor to an Oscar winner in ten years.The nature of male actors is different from that of actresses. In their thirties, it is really the best period for actresses, and it is also the time when the proportion of Oscar queens is the largest.But the actor is not, 30 years old, for the actor is just the beginning of his career.If you want to become an actor, you usually have to wait another [-] years before you have hope.

But Fopper himself wants to win the Best Actor Oscar in [-] years, when he was in his early thirties, which has to be said to be a challenge.If he followed the steps, frankly speaking, he would have no hope at all.Therefore, this is why Fopper refused to join CAA.

After coming to Hollywood, relying on his memory, he removed movies like "Alexander the Great" that had no chance at all, and removed those animation movies made by DreamWorks. Finally, Fopper selected a few movies and asked Yuqing to help Apply for an audition.And the results were seen, and there was no reply to the audition.

'If you want to get ahead... you still need to open a cheat! ’ thought Fopper silently.

The time has slowly passed to mid-August, because of the coquettish phenomenon of "The Tuner" at the Venice Film Festival, so even if we know that it is only a short ten-minute movie, there are still countless film companies wanting it. Get it right to play.In the end, after a lot of fighting by the film company, Lionsgate Pictures successfully obtained the rights to broadcast "The Tuner" in all places except mainland China.Of course, for this Lionsgate paid 100 million US dollars and then 40.00% of the net profit from DVD sales.

The buyout fee of 100 million US dollars, 20 was distributed by Fopper to Ning Hao and the crew of "Tuner", although after the remittance was completed, Ning Hao made an overseas phone call overnight and said that he would not accept it. There is no need for this.But Fopper still felt that this should be done.The subsequent 80, of which US$30 was converted into RMB, was injected into Goldfinger Studio for the development of the company.The rest of the money, 40, was added to the video sharing website that has been developed by Hughes and the others and has begun to take shape.The remaining money is your own working capital.Yuqing didn't ask her agent for a share. In her words: When "The Tuner" became famous, she was not his agent.

"So, you spent the past half month writing the script?" Looking at the thick stack of papers in front of her, Yuqing felt that she didn't know what her friends thought of her.

"Fuzi, you are an actor..." Not a screenwriter.

"Of course I know that I'm an actor." Fopper, who knew what she was thinking when she saw Yu Qing's pitiful expression, said, "But the truth is already in front of us. There is no way for us to get an invitation to a major Hollywood movie. There is even no chance to audition. Although the small film wants to have a chance, but because I am yellow, there is no way for me to play the leading role. As you said, I now have a Venice actor no matter what So if you play a trash supporting role in an unknown trash movie, you will definitely be sprayed to death."

"So, you are going to write a movie that you can star in?" Yuqing connected to the brainwaves from Fopper: "Although you still have a layer of identity as a writer, and you wrote "The Tuner" " is also very classic...but the movie script is really not that easy to write." After half a month of adaptation, Yuqing has fully understood all kinds of things in Hollywood. discourse.

"Trust me." Smiled, and said to Yuqing: "Isn't it a try? After all, there is nothing else to do now, right? Besides, if you take a closer look at this project, even if you lose, We can afford to lose." And just after saying this, a phone rang suddenly, so Fopper could only answer the phone while signaling Yuqing to look at the plan.

Suspiciously, he picked up the project proposal on the table.As soon as he caught his eye, Yuqing saw the title of the movie "Ling Dong: Ghost Story" on the cover...

"The shooting budget...[-] US dollars?!" Seeing the budget, Yu Qing was surprised.

On the other side, Fopper's surprised voice also appeared.

"What did you say? Need to live together?!"

The author has something to say: Here is an explanation of why the article made Fopper the best actor so quickly.It's like what I said in the article, it's really not easy for yellow people to mix in Hollywood. If there is no preparation, ghosts will let you out.And although he is said to be the best actor of the three major film festivals, it is actually useless. Xia Yu won the best actor in 20, but [-] years have passed, do you think he is as famous as Huang Xiaoming? Internationally or domestically.Therefore, being the best actor is just a way for Fopper to have a basis to compete with local Hollywood actors.

Finally, if you have any questions, you can actively leave a message to discuss!Although my recovery may not be in time...
