Chapter 124 Getting Married
Smith and Sangley are old friends for decades. Sangley is very different from him. Even if there is a little personal relationship, he talks about fame and fortune, but in fact, the work in his hand will be squeezed out of the biggest business no matter how bad it is. Value, and will never tarnish your own name.
"Weng Lou Biography" is no exception, not to mention that this IP itself has extremely high value.For Sang Li, the remake of Weng Lou is actually tantamount to looking for a perfect fake. It is natural that it is not as good as the real one, but at least it is necessary to find a fairly close existence to play it.Gu Yunkai ranks in the top five on his list of considerations. He has acting skills, temperament, and high enough commercial value. There are not too many Senan men who can satisfy these three at the same time, let alone Sangli. In the right selection, there will be many actors who consider their own acting path and refuse such an opportunity.
Nowadays, celebrities with high traffic and extremely high commercial value seem to have only a few years of money-making opportunities in their life. , In the later stage, the green screen is used to make up the face, which is especially serious in the TV drama circle. This kind of behavior can even be said to be rampant.
According to the words of some veteran actors in the industry, these people can only be called wholesale products, not performances, let alone art.
Not to mention that it takes a period of training to shoot Weng Lou. Sang Li is indeed a gold medal producer, but his harsh premise is enough to drive away most people.
In the circle of 25 to 35 actors, Gu Yunkai can be regarded as an actor who meets Sangli's conditions. First of all, his appearance is good enough, and secondly, his acting skills are also visible to the naked eye. According to Smith, who once worked together, Gu Yunkai is not only capable, but also has a gentle temper. He is an actor who can listen to the director's opinion. He does not play big names on the set, nor does he have any weird habits. .
The vast majority of celebrities have some weird and weird eccentricities, some are harmless, but some are more troublesome. Among the big-name celebrities that Sangli has been with, although Sharp's words and deeds are absurd, they will not hinder the work anyway. If they need anything, they will pay for it by themselves, which is still a likable type—of course, it is not as worry-free as Gu Yunkai; and many super giants even have voyeurism and even propose to use mineral water for the crew to drink in the wild under difficult conditions There are many people who use it as bath water with various unreasonable demands.
Smith is very enthusiastic about promoting Gu Yunkai. The main reason is of course that the other party really gave him a very good feeling of cooperation. If he wants to shoot again in the future, he naturally prefers to cooperate with his favorite actor. It has not been decided. The new project that Sang Li is planning to produce recently is "The End of the World". If Gu Yunkai can perform well in "The End of the Day", he can also use this to persuade Sang Li to use Gu Yunkai.
Although Zhang Zitao is not the director of "The Legend of Weng Lou", Smith is also very clear about where his expertise lies. For such an important project, he will not recommend himself beyond his capacity.
Secondly, naturally, he wanted to show off his vision in front of Sang Li, even though Gu Yunkai was recommended to him by Jian Yuan.Since the two of them entered the entertainment industry, although they have been cooperating, it is hard to say who is better and who is worse, but Sang Li has always been the one with a more stable and rational temperament, and is responsible for quenching Smith's fever in time. It is rare to have a relationship with Sang Li. Of course, Smith will not miss the moment to show off his vision.
So he tried his best to brag about Gu Yunkai.
Sangli knew Smith's personality, and he had no other shortcomings, except that he was crazy, and he could float to the sky if he was proud, but this time the other party did not boast casually, and nothing was more real than real money. He is not like Smith, who still needs to pay attention to art and connotation, and he is not like film critics who see a lot of things that reflect and satirize social reality in the world of movies. "Light Like Day" has proved that Its value, and the fact that people are willing to spend for Gu Yunkai, is enough for Sangli.
"The "Apocalypse" project is about to start. I will send him an audition invitation at that time, but I don't know if he has a schedule. Based on his current situation, I'm afraid the salary will not be too low." Sang Li frowned slightly Dao, of course he understands that it is absolutely impossible for the horse to run fast without letting the horse eat grass, but now that "Light Like the Day" is in full swing, the remuneration is probably in Gu Yunkai's hands inside.
The remuneration offered to Gu Yunkai in "Light Like Day" was already as high as 700 million. Judging from Gu Yunkai's current worth, the final negotiated remuneration will be around 500 million. This is also Sangli's heart The highest price, but whether you can get this salary depends on whether the legendary manager, Ms. Gu, is really that powerful.
Gu Yunkai's play path is very strange, he seems to take the play entirely based on his preferences or opportunities. Sangli could understand it before "Eternal Solitude", but after the success of "Eternal Solitude", according to normal , he should calm down and hone his acting skills more, but he switched to "Light Like the Day" again. Although "Light Like the Day" is indeed very brilliant, but before the filming started, the film "Light Like the Day" has always been positioned as a commercial film , may not be able to win the prize.
I also filmed an idol drama in the middle, and then took Smith's "The Pianist's Skylight", and guest starred in "Union of Agents" as the Grim Reaper.
Even Sang Li, who is well-versed in the industry, has no way to find out what development route Gu Yunkai has set for his career based on his rich experience. According to common sense, many stars want to broaden their career paths. He won't take on overlapping roles too much. Gu Yunkai may have too few opportunities and no choice, or he may be cautious enough to ensure that each of his plays not only has quality, but also box office.
Sanli felt the latter was more likely.
But no matter what, Gu Yunkai's business type is very high, which is enough.
"If the role of Lan is decided to be played by Gu Yunkai, I think it's better to change the male lead according to the original idea. The male supporting role may not be able to impress him." Smith tapped the folder with a pen, thinking, "You The screenwriter has to change the role of the play and make the blue plot more serious. So far, Gu Yunkai has not made a series of films. "Union of Agents" is just death. I think that if "The End of the World" can be successful, a win-win situation cannot be escaped. "
In fact, at this point, it can be said that the role has been assigned to Gu Yun by default, and Sang Li has also begun to think seriously. In fact, the project "The End of the World" was approved by him and Smith together. In terms of business ideas, He has never been as good as Smith. According to Sangley's original idea, the theme of doom itself is thrilling. Judging from the success of "Union of Agents", the audience is now more interested in teamwork than alone. But according to Smith The current thinking, if Lan is replaced as the protagonist, then the whole theme will completely become individual heroism.
The market and audience needs have always been put first by Sangli, so he was a little uncertain for a while.
Smith snapped his fingers, attracted Sanli's attention to himself, and said slowly: "Don't forget, "Agents" is a group of cool people gathered together, which led to four leading actors The role is not obvious, you can't say who is the protagonist, you can only say that a certain person plays more important roles, and the audience also needs personal movies to know them more clearly; what you need is not a group of cool people, you need It's just a cool guy with a bunch of people."
"Do you think Lan will be a good protagonist?" Sangli raised his arms and said in a deep voice, "Give me a reason to convince me."
"Why not, he is courageous, resourceful, calm and wise, an excellent lone hero type, you can compare him with a big guy." Smith shrugged his shoulders with his chest in his arms, "mysterious origin, outstanding skills, a lonely lone ranger , seeing a man who is enough to make people feel at ease, can you find a more charming actor than this?"
Sangli was more or less convinced, and he had to admit that the hero in Smith's words was much better than the "old mother" he wanted.Normally, Sangley and Smith don’t pay much attention to making movies, and they don’t strictly follow the script. It can be said that what the two want to shoot and what kind of IP they want to consume will only be truly determined after a series of planning decisions. From the beginning of the script, it is very common to change the script before the project starts shooting.
They will give what they want to the screenwriter, and let the screenwriter enrich the story.
"Do you think that Gu Yunkai's play is too narrow?" Sangli suddenly asked while flipping through the folder, "His current front line is just brought up by traffic, which has commercial value, but it's not artistic enough. Take it step by step in a down-to-earth manner, let alone three or four successful films, I think he has been improving for so long, he should not be an actor who has no pursuit, what do you think of his acting skills?"
This question made Smith ponder for a while. He stroked his beard and said, "Usually I seldom comment on actors, but Gu Yunkai may be due to his own talent and the limitations of his circumstances. He is indeed a more progressive actor now, but It’s not that he is very motivated, at least he doesn’t think about further studies for acting, he just simply thinks about how to perform his role as well as possible, I think he is more suitable for work than loving acting Crazy this evaluation, make sure you complete the job perfectly."
"He dropped out of college to enter the entertainment circle, and after that, he made some messy movies. He is not very talented, and his acting is not good. However, his appearance is his strength and his weakness. Sharp's appearance is also very good, but he It is invisible in itself, he was that role when he entered acting, there is almost no way to be picky, I can imagine Sharp playing any role, nobleman, hooligan, teenager, etc.; His appearance, his temperament does not match."
"Indeed, the role of Feng Sanlang is already a big breakthrough for him, but this is also limited to acting. If Gu Yunkai is asked to play that kind of lowly beggar, or even a bum, he is not suitable." Sang Li Shaking his head, he said, "I've seen his works in the past few years. To be honest, most of the characters are elite and have a certain social status. He is more handy in these roles, perhaps because of his appearance."
Smith glanced at him suddenly, raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did you say this all of a sudden?"
Sangli shook his head and said, "It's nothing. I was just thinking about another project. I wanted to use him but I didn't think he was suitable."
"Okay, you're looking at the bowl and wondering if you're not choking in the pot. They might not be free in their schedule." Smith patted the document on Sangli's desk and mused, "This old man Stephen probably has been busy lately." It's "Union of Agents". It's unlikely that Lancer will take on a new job just after filming. I haven't heard of any big productions. Even if there are, it's almost all released in the Lunar New Year. , I don’t think there is any chance to compete with us recently. He has just shot my literary film, so it is unlikely that he wants to continue to mix in the independent circle. At this time, the box office of “Light Like the Day” is just right, and smart people will take a few commercial films first. , otherwise his salary will be lowered by the independent circle, and his worth will not be able to go up."
Sang Li poured himself a glass of wine and drank half of it, then said calmly, "Even if he can't make it, he has nothing to worry about."
Smith didn't answer.
This is the case in the entertainment industry, when you are not popular, chasing others for audition opportunities, they may not be willing to give alms, and you can't even hear the news; but when someone becomes popular, there are investors waving money to send to your door If you are invited to film a movie, if you meet an investor who is still a fan of yourself, then there is no need to say more, the salary is no problem, but there may be some small "love encounters"; of course, most of the time, it is big Waiting for the actors to choose their own opportunities, they are no longer as passive as before.
But good times don't last forever, unless it can continue to be so popular, otherwise, if it falls into box office poison due to various luck failures, even if it has a movie star or even various praises, it will only be a flash in the pan and will not last long.
After all, the entertainment industry is still a ruthless vanity fair. Everyone paints their faces with swollen faces to pretend to be fat. The real rich sit high on the clouds, those at the bottom work hard to climb up, and those in the middle are the most embarrassing. If you can't go up, it's easy to think about going down, but who wants to go down.
"Light Like the Day" was originally negotiated to be screened in the Commonwealth. Not long after the box office came out in the first week, Scale Company accelerated the market negotiation, and at the same time "Light Like the Day" was screened in the Commonwealth. Although the box office is not as good as Empire , but it also far exceeded the initial expectations. So far, the global box office of "Light Like Day" has exceeded 20 billion, which is even higher than the original forecast of Stalactite.
This kind of success can be called phenomenal, and the pre-sales including peripherals were also sold out driven by this explosion.
For a long time, film critics have analyzed the plot, characters, picture, composition and other factors of "Light Like Day" one by one. However, in fact, the laughter and tears in this film are interspersed just right, and besides all handsome men and beauties, the special effects are also A very important link. Of course, the [-] million budget of "Light Like Day" is not just spent in unknown places. This movie is quite heavy on special effects. The powerful post-production makes the whole movie look very real. After wearing the corresponding equipment, it seems to be in another world. world.
This world is more or less technologically different from the planet Gu Yunkai lived on in his previous life. In a sense, "Light Like Day" realizes the experience that the screen can give the audience the most immersive experience, which can almost be said to be immersive. In fact, this is also a major reason why audiences keep buying and repurchasing tickets.
The success of "Light Like the Day" far exceeded everyone's imagination. If Gu Yunkai was a little excited at the beginning, he would become numb after looking at the data. No matter how much the final box office is, it has nothing to do with him. It doesn't matter, after all, when he was filming "Light Like the Day", he was still considered a "high climber", so naturally he couldn't talk about box office dividends, so now he is most concerned about the popularity of "Light Like the Day", and there is only one thing.
How many opportunities and benefits it can bring to oneself.
Regarding Gu Yunkai's popularity, the media has different opinions. Some people think that there are various reasons for the popularity of "Light Like the Day". The success is inseparable from Jian Yuan's strong support. A few more objective film critics carefully analyzed Gu Yunkai's acting skills in "Light Like Day", and believed that his artistic value is not as good as his commercial value. The traffic is big but the acting skills are not satisfactory, slightly better than the vase back then, but not much better.
For every film critic who wants to express how unique their opinions are, criticizing the popular stars is undoubtedly a kind of courage to confront the public. Just as some bad film advocates think that it is not because the film is not well shot, It is the aesthetics of the public that cannot appreciate the connotation of this level.
However, the mainstream still likes Gu Yunkai. In fact, the three leading actors in the movie have almost the same praise. What is really surprising is that Feng Sanniang's popularity is surprisingly good, and there are even male fans who don't know the specific situation. He mistakenly thought that Feng Sanniang was playing the role of Gu Yunkai's younger sister Gu Jianyue, and even posted a message on Weibo to confess his love, making Gu Jianyue dumbfounded.
Gu Jianyue was also naughty, pretending to be ignorant, and posted on Weibo her hand wearing the ring: Sorry, I'm already engaged, and I'm going to get married soon.
The male movie fan especially did not give up, angrily brushed: Madam, I like you! ! !
The joke was seen by the fans, and they flocked to watch and molested. It wasn't until the end that the male fans realized that they had confessed wrongly. The account of "Feng Sanniang" who really wanted to confess was next door, and he was still a man. His three views were suddenly shattered. , and before he had time to entangle the difference between straight and curved, he was pierced by the fact that Gu Yunkai already had a master, and there was no news at all.
Since the release of "Light Like Day", there have been many audiences who can't tell Feng Sanniang from Feng Sanlang. After all, ordinary audiences' concept of makeup and even cross-dressing skills still stays on special actors, and many people don't think These two were alone, so I thought they had cast a pair of twin brothers and sisters to play the role, especially since Gu Yunkai did have a biological sister, and had several oolongs.
Netizens don't know if it's intentional or just for fun. Whenever someone who doesn't know the Internet asks the name of the actress who plays Feng Sanniang, almost everyone will generally answer: Gu Jianyue.Afterwards, there was an honest person who seriously answered the correct answer of "Gu Yunkai" and was retorted by the questioner as "this is obviously Feng Sanlang".
In addition, Gu Jianyue also reposted fan videos edited by fans, which can be called black technology. The content of the video probably edited all the characters that Gu Yunkai has played over the years, cut up those voices, and pieced them together according to the characters' personalities. Into a blessing, congratulations and wish Gu Jianyue a happy marriage.
There are quite a few works because they are old and the picture quality is not very good, but they still look clear, and it can be seen that they are very hardworking. Gu Yunkai deliberately clicked in and watched the [-]-minute fan video. The fans named "Luoyan Miaomiao" can see that they are very attentive. The characters of the idol dramas in the early years have also been dug out, and the characters of the same era are put together. For example, Feng Sanlang and Bai Youxia are in the same frame, Yi Mowen With Zhong Chuanbai and Shao Li as the three brothers, the whole video is very creative.
Later, because the resources of movies are abundant, it takes up a lot of time, but Gu Yunkai repeatedly watched and watched the characters of the idol dramas that seemed a little poor in quality in the first few minutes.
These few people are Gu Jianyue's real brothers.
He was not sad, nor did he feel much emotion, but his increasingly soft heart made Gu Yunkai more or less merciful. There is only one person in this world who remembers a person, and even his closest relatives can't tell the difference.Gu Jianyue babbled about the past on the other end of the phone, and Gu Yunkai patiently listened to what she said about the past that he didn't know about, and would echo each other from time to time.
Jian Yuan purely loves Gu Yunkai, but "Gu Yunkai" has been completely forgotten by people, his appearance can be rectified, his body can be changed, only the soul and thoughts are the things that a person really looks outward.Gu Yunkai never felt that he was forgotten, even though Gu Jianyue looked at another person through him, but now that he was successful and famous, all the other people saw him.
The picture quality not only separated his career, but also completely separated his two lives.
Jianyue is getting married.
Gu Yunkai said softly to the big boy on the computer screen who was smiling unnaturally and stiffly at the camera: Don't worry.
The author has something to say:
Yunkai has always been a very confident person. The me you see is still me. It is my ability, my thoughts, and my words
So for him, he has always been alive, but "Gu Yunkai" has died from the very beginning.
