I didn't want to be an actor

Chapter 461 Discussion (13)

Many people think that Chow Yun Fat is not doing well in Hollywood...

In fact, it’s not bad. It’s good enough that he can leave his own works in Hollywood and play the leading role.

Hollywood is a circle, and not everyone can fit in if they want to. Only actors from the "Five Eyes Alliance" can be better accepted in Hollywood. Even actors from France and Germany are not welcome.

Even actors from other countries have to rely on smaller circles to guide them. For example, Britain seems to be very close to the United States, but many British actors have no power or influence in Hollywood. Authentic British handsome guys like Colin Firth, Jude Law, Hugh Grant, Colin Farrell, etc. can only be popular in Hollywood for a few years. If they want to be the leading role, they have to go back to Britain.

Even if Colin Firth won an Oscar, he couldn't get mainstream resources!

Australian actors are doing well in the United States because they are good at forming groups and forming an Australian faction. They also have a super boss, Murdoch, behind them. He supports Australians/New Zealanders in everything from investment to directors to actors, and these people also help each other, support each other, and feed each other.

As for Italy, there is even an Italian gang whose core bosses are of Italian descent. Therefore, people of Italian descent who are not in the Five Eyes Alliance (note that they are not Italians) generally do well.

The importance of circles is evident.

Back then, Chow Yun-fat was able to take on roles in "The Replacement Killers" and "The Edge of Tomorrow" mainly because of his ability to sell his products!

After "A Better Tomorrow", his overseas copyrights, including Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia and even Europe, Chow Yun-fat's movies are very popular...

But his salary in Hollywood has always been a topic of little discussion.

Rumor has it that Zhou Runfa's salary in Hollywood at the time was the same as that of a 4th or 5th-tier actor. The exact amount and whether it is true is unknown, but what is certain is that he 100% lowered his own price in Hollywood.

The biggest benefit of Chow Yun-fat's time in Hollywood was that he gained the title of an international superstar, which increased his say in film remuneration. When commercial films were just starting out in mainland China, he demanded a huge amount of money.

From this point of view, it is successful.

The actor who made "Curse of the Golden Flower" received 4000 million yuan in salary, but he still insisted on adding an RV.

He stood up the China Film Corporation for the role in "Red Cliff" and went to film "Pirates of the Caribbean" instead, playing a major supporting role.

Confucius saw his appeal, but ended up losing a lot of money.
"Let the Bullets Fly" recovered a little, but "The Palace of the Golden Phoenix" and "The Great Shanghai" suffered huge losses again!
Later, I returned to Hong Kong and filmed the "Macau Wind and Moon" trilogy and "Wushuang"...

His current salary is a fixed salary of 4000 million + 20% of global revenue!
Only an idiot would invite him...

Do you really think he has much appeal?

"Don't Call Me God of Gamblers", his friendship price: 4000 million Hong Kong dollars, and the total box office of the movie (global box office) was less than 7000 million RMB!

It's not just Chow Yun-fat. After 2020, the so-called appeal of Hong Kong stars...can't attract mainland audiences at all!
"When the Wind Rises" had a box office of about 5000 million, and the box office share was not enough to pay the salaries of several Hong Kong big names, and the film company basically lost all its money;
The box office of "Unknown" exceeded 9 million, but everyone with a discerning eye knows that the biggest credit goes to Wang Yibo...

But Liang Chaowei’s pay is more than ten times that of Wang Yibo!
Later, mainland companies were rarely willing to invest in Hong Kong films.

They will cry...

It is said that the government talked to several big company bosses and asked them to help Hong Kong entertainment, such as Ali's 50 billion Hong Kong film support plan...

Ali Entertainment’s 50 billion Hong Kong film revitalization plan covers dramas, movies, performances, and youth talent training.

First, a rich owner will come in, and then other companies will follow up. This is all a task.

If the market really speaks for itself, Hong Kong stars have no value for money - the cost of hiring Chow Yun-fat is more than the total cost of all the leading actors in "Article 20"...

……

"Brother Jiahui, it's 12 o'clock in the evening, aren't you going to sleep?"

Hotel, balcony, Shen Liang was a little speechless...

Liang Jiahui talked to him on the phone for two hours...

Discuss the character of His Holiness.

Shen Liang's mouth became dry from talking so much!
Liang Jiahui on the opposite side is still full of interest...

Liang Jiahui was puzzled: "It's only 12 o'clock, are you sleepy?"

"That's not the case. However, you played in "Double Vision" before, so you should be familiar with things like xie cult, right?"

"Double Vision is a supernatural film, it's different, and I play a policeman..." "...You can watch some documentaries..."

Bedroom, Rouba, I'm bored after watching the updated episodes of "The Rumored Chen Qianqian"...

I'm bored, I want to doi...

Then he spotted Shen Liang still on the balcony, talking on the phone, took off his shirt, and walked over...

First I hesitated, then I just squatted down and started playing with it...

It feels very good, smooth and warm!

Shen Liang…felt very insecure, so he said to Liang Jiahui: “…Brother Jiahui…I have something to do here, how about we make an appointment tomorrow to meet and discuss in detail?”

He agreed and hung up the phone. Shen Liang immediately pulled up his dick to stop her from taking any further action...

Then she turned around and admired the floor-to-ceiling windows and the beautiful Victoria Harbour from the balcony...

"…I don't want a thick barrier between us either…"

Facing Rouba's question, Shen Liang gave an explanation.

"So...what if something goes wrong?"

"Don't worry, I'm very stable!"

Shen Liang is full of confidence.

"I don't want to bother with you..."

Rouba rolled his eyes.
“…Teacher Liang Jiahui really loves acting!”

Shen Liang changed the subject and started talking about Liang Jiahui.

Liang Jiahui is one of the few Hong Kong stars who is willing to support mainland actors!
In "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", he is the villain!
This is very rare. Not to mention Hong Kong stars, even Taiwanese actors are rarely willing to play supporting roles to mainland actors!
"I feel like Liang Jiahui doesn't seem to care much about his status?"

“Well, he loves to perform!”

Shen Liang continued: "I suggest that he refer to Ma Yun's image and wear gold-rimmed glasses..."

"Ma Yun?"

"Don't you think he's attractive?"

Rouba didn’t want to discuss this topic: “…I was just watching “Chen Qianqian”, this drama is quite interesting…”

"Well, this drama was originally just an A-level production, with very good data, no less than an S-level top project."

"How many dramas do you and Teng Xun have?"

"Well, one is "The Wind Chaser" and the other is "Lotus Tower"..."

Rouba asked back, "Didn't they say there was an ancient idol drama?"

"That's a group organized by iQiyi..." At this point, Shen Liang glanced at her and said, "What's wrong? Are you interested?"

"Can't I?"

"Your ancient costume looks too exotic..." Shen Liang shook his head: "You are still more suitable for current dramas..."

Just as Rouba was about to retort, Shen Liang stood up and left, then took the computer from the study: "I have a play here that's quite suitable for you..."

"What show?"

"It's a Mary Sue idol drama, called "Why Secretary Kim"... It's a Korean comic, and I bought the adaptation rights..."
