“The Matrix? What movie? About hackers?”
Qin Yuhai heard Shen Shenghui reporting on the cooperation between Wang Cheng and Qin Mo in the office. When he heard the name of the movie, he asked curiously.
Shen Shenghui immediately replied: "It started as a script that Qin Mo and the screenwriting team spent a few days writing. It was called Hacker World. It tells the story of the battle between hackers. It is a science fiction movie. It is said that it also involves several actors. Cooperate with a special effects studio. Then, Wang Cheng was not satisfied with the script after reading it, saying that he didn’t want to make bad movies, so he finally wrote a script by himself and changed the name to The Matrix.”
“It’s based on the original Hacker World. It’s the first time I know that Wang Cheng can also write scripts. Now, the Matrix project has been officially approved. Qin Mo is the producer, and Wang Cheng is the starring, screenwriter, and director!”
As he spoke, Shen Shenghui couldn't help laughing.
Wang Cheng holds three positions, and they are all extremely important positions.
Needless to say, the starring role is responsible for the entire film; the screenwriter is the origin of the film. Whether the film is good or not can be seen from here; and the director is the one who controls the film. Whether he can make a good film depends entirely on the director. . A great director can turn a bad script into a good movie, but anything a parallel director makes will turn into a bad movie!
Hence, Wang Cheng holds the three most important positions that can determine the quality of a movie.
Situations like this are not unheard of in the entertainment industry, but they are basically tentative works by famous actors and actresses, and in the end they all end up in the street.
So, according to convention.
Wang Cheng’s science fiction movie The Matrix is also a sure-fire flop.
Shen Shenghui laughed: "Although Wang Cheng's acting skills have been recognized by everyone, he may not really know much about movies."
Qin Yuhai also laughed and lay on the chair. The computer pause screen in front of him still showed Wang Cheng writing the preface to Prince Teng's Pavilion. He said, "Just let him know how difficult it is. From now on, you can invest more publicity resources in this movie!" At that time, more people can be attracted to go to the cinema to watch.”
Shen Shenghui: "Okay, I will give the order!"
There are certainly examples of bad movies that make money, relying on publicity.
Once upon a time, a movie of the same name adapted from a TV series relied on massive publicity and emotional appeal to attract a large number of viewers into the cinema. The box office exploded in the first few days and made a direct profit. However, the box office plummeted in an instant, and all viewers found out that they had been cheated. It was purely a **** that was being used to sell dog meat. It was offline in ten days, but it still made money.
However, those starring actors who sold their emotions have since had a bad reputation and have become mere passers-by in the entertainment industry.
Qin Yuhai's plan is that when Wang Cheng's big bad movie is released, they will attract more people to go to the cinema to watch it. Then when they find out that it is a bad movie, all the audiences will angrily criticize Wang Cheng, the leading actor who plays three roles. , screenwriter, director…
Wang Cheng’s perfect image at this time will also fall into the mortal world.
At that time, he may have room to maneuver to persuade Wang Cheng to renew his contract.
"By the way, Wang Cheng asked Zhang Hanwen to be the second male lead! Qin Mo also said that he would invite An Keru to be the female lead. Zhang Hanwen is easy to say, they are all our own. But An Keru is now a super giant. , the salary starts at least 100 million, and a part of the box office share is also required!"
Shen Shenghui put away his thoughts and said seriously.
Qin Yuhai thought with his eyes and said softly: "Don't worry, let them invite them themselves. We will not participate and we will not continue to invest more. Anyway, the final box office revenue belongs to Wang Cheng. If he wants to invite An Keru, then he can do it himself To attract investment to pay for the film, or to persuade An Keru to star for free. With his face, An Keru will definitely agree..."
Shen Shenghui smiled, said nothing, said goodbye and left. Quan arranged for Zhang Hanwen to star in Wang Cheng's movie. Although they were all his own, the contract process still had to go through.
…
Zhang Hanwen is practicing in the training base, which is what he has been trying to stick to recently.
After Rubik's Cube Entertainment lifted the ban on him, Zhang Xiuhua secured some resources for him, but Zhang Hanwen only occasionally appeared on a show and refused others. He still practiced most of the time.
Practice singing, practice dancing, practice acting!
Because, he remembered Wang Cheng’s words and practiced his skills more so that he would not be eliminated.
He is still young and now has stable fans, stable popularity, and stable resources. He only needs to select some better announcements and spend most of the rest of his time improving himself so that he can go further in the future and try More tracks.
He didn't dare to think that he could sing, dance and act at the highest level of perfection like Wang Cheng, he just needed to be able to do it!
“Hanwen, Director Shen sent me a contract!”
Zhang Xiuhua came over with a contract and handed it to Zhang Hanwen with a strange expression: "Take a look."
Director Shen sent it personally?
Zhang Hanwen took it over and looked at it carefully. Generally speaking, his announcements were handled by Zhang Xiuhua, who was not qualified for Shen Shenghui to personally intervene.
There are dozens of first-line traffic stars like him in Rubik's Cube Entertainment!
In terms of the number of first-tier traffic stars, Rubik's Cube Entertainment can now be said to be the largest among all entertainment companies in China.
After taking the contract and looking at it, Zhang Hanwen was stunned. Actor contract?
“The company has offered me a movie appointment? The second male lead?”
Zhang Hanwen asked in surprise.
It can be said that it is the dream of every entertainment star to act in a movie and appear on the big screen. That is the place where you can best prove yourself.
No matter how much money you earn from variety shows and how many fans you attract, you will still be ranked lower in front of movie stars.
Zhang Hanwen didn’t expect that the company would arrange a movie for him!
Under normal circumstances, this kind of good thing would never happen to him.
He calmed down and took a closer look, and immediately understood.
Zhang Xiuhua whispered: "You saw it! It's a movie starring Wang Cheng. The company invested several million for Qin Mo to play. Qin Mo has ruined several crews before. Is this the third or the third one? Four, and re-wrote the script. I inquired specifically, and it seems that the script written by Qin Mo was rejected by Wang Cheng, and then Wang Cheng himself revised a script based on the original script, called The Matrix, which is about computer hackers. Science fiction movie."
"Under normal circumstances, I would have rejected it directly for you. This would be a big pitfall. One bad mistake would completely ruin your movie dream. However, this involves Wang Cheng, so I will bring it to you to see. You decide for yourself!”
Zhang Hanwen did not hesitate and wrote his name on the table next to him: "I am definitely willing to work with Wang Cheng! No matter what film, I am willing to try it."
Although, when they first collaborated with Wang Cheng on stage, Zhang Hanwen and Wang Cheng didn't get along so happily. Wang Cheng was too difficult to get along with.
However, it was still the most exciting and legendary experience that Zhang Hanwen had experienced in his life.
So, Zhang Hanwen is of course willing to continue to cooperate with Wang Cheng.
Zhang Xiuhua nodded: "Okay, you go back and pack your things now, and we will go to Hengdian to report tomorrow. The company only gave us two months, and the film will be released in time for the Spring Festival."
Zhang Xiuhua's eyes flickered. She had some guesses in her mind, but she didn't dare to say them out. The company is so eager to release this seemingly hopeless movie during the Spring Festival. Why is it spending so many resources?
…
An Keru is still in the Magic City.
Attended Wang Cheng's housewarming and attended the exhibition of Wang Cheng's works held by Shuangxing. Originally, An Keru was supposed to start working, and there were two crews waiting for her.
However, An Keru was reluctant to leave the Magic City for a while.
because!
The distance between Modu and Wang Cheng is even closer.
She is going to shoot a costume drama set in the Song Dynasty next, which includes war scenes, so she has to go to the north to film. Once there, she doesn’t know how long it will take to come over and see Wang Cheng.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the mansion, An Keru looked at the mansion where Wang Cheng lived not far away, his eyes blurred.
Tuk Tuk…
There was a knock on the door, and An Keru said softly: "Come in!"
Agent Jiang Yun gently opened the door and said: "Keru! I just received an invitation from the crew of The Matrix, which is a science fiction movie."
An Keru said instinctively: "I don't have time!"
She has a full schedule of work.
With her current popularity as a celebrity, a large number of film and television production crews send invitations every day, but she rejects them all.
Unless it is related to Wang Cheng, she will only accept it if she can appear on the show with Wang Cheng.
Jiang Yun: "Originally, I wanted to push it for you directly, but you haven't had time to accept film appointments in two years. However, this movie is the one starring Wang Cheng. They invited you to be the female lead and star with Wang Cheng. .So, I’m here to ask you.”
Performing with Wang Cheng?
An Keru was instantly refreshed. She turned around and looked at Jiang Yun in surprise: "Sister Yun, are you sure? Are you starring with Wang Cheng? Wang Cheng is the male lead and I am the female lead?"
Jiang Yun smiled bitterly, she knew this was the result.
Originally, she wanted to refuse the invitation and then concealed it from An Keru.
However, she did not dare to do this in the end, because the matter could not be hidden at all, and it would definitely be exposed later, and then she would have to bear the anger from An Keru.
So, she told An Keru the invitation truthfully, nodded affirmatively and said, "Yes! Wang Cheng is the male lead, and they invite you to play the female lead."
An Keru immediately said: "Where to shoot next? Book a flight for me and I'll be there right away!"
She can't wait to see Wang Cheng now.
When she thought about being able to play opposite Wang Cheng, who was the male lead, and she was the female lead, she wanted to teleport to the set and start filming immediately!
Jiang Yun continued: "I must tell you that this movie is a science fiction movie. Moreover, it is a science fiction movie about a war between hackers, and the audience is very small. The producer Qin Mo is also a newcomer, and is Qin Yuhai My niece came to make this movie just for fun. Qin Yuhai arranged for Wang Cheng to join the crew to target Wang Cheng!"
An Keru: “What does that have to do with me?”
She doesn’t care about anything else, she just wants to act opposite Wang Cheng.
She has never done any kissing or **** scenes, but she is looking forward to the best of this movie.
Jiang Yun: "I want to tell you that this movie is definitely a bad movie! It may ruin your reputation by then. Moreover, you agreed to Director Song that if you go to film The Matrix, Director Song will Bian is about to break the contract and will have to pay a sum of money!"
An Keru: "Then compensate! Now you go and talk to Director Song about the termination of the contract. You can compensate as much as you should. Book a flight ticket to report to the crew immediately! No, if you are filming in Hengdian, book the high-speed rail ticket now. , I rushed there overnight."
Jiang Yun was silent.
She wanted to advise An Keru not to ruin the reputation she had built up over the years by participating in a bad movie for Wang Cheng, and not only offend a major TV director!
After all, An Keru signed a contract with Director Song to star in this TV series a year ago. Director Song also made a lot of preparations for An Keru as the female lead, and had already promoted it to the outside world. Now he suddenly terminated the contract and couldn't go. , Didn’t they prepare for so long in vain? How much time and money would it cost to suddenly change another female lead? Are the other actors willing?
This will offend almost the entire crew.
However, Jiang Yun also knew how obsessed An Keru was with Wang Cheng!
It has always been difficult for a woman as outstanding as An Keru, with an extraordinary background, to attract the attention of the opposite sex, but once her heart falls in love with her, she will definitely be crazy.
So, Jiang Yun tried to persuade her several times, but she swallowed her words again.
She knew that it would be useless to persuade her, and it would make An Keru unhappy!
After a moment of silence, she agreed: "Okay, I'll make arrangements right away!"
An Keru instantly changed from melancholy to extremely excited, and started packing things for a trip like an excited child.
But, after a while, her phone rang, and it was a personal phone!
After taking a look, it was Director Song who called. An Keru hesitated for a moment and finally answered the call: "Hello, Director Song!"
Director Song said with some excitement: "Keru, you want to terminate the contract? Why? The filming is about to start. We have done a lot of preparatory work and publicity for you. But you suddenly don't come. What should we do?" What will the many expectant viewers and your fans think?”
An Keru's eyes were firm and unmoved, and he said softly: "Director Song, I'm sorry! I have other work to do temporarily, so I can't report to your crew in a short time, so I will simply terminate the contract to avoid delaying you. . You can find a female lead right now!"
Director Song: "What job is more important than reporting on my crew?"
An Keru: "You will know when the time comes, Director Song, I'm sorry! I will pay you the liquidated damages."
Director Song was silent. He heard that An Keru would not look back. As a veteran in the entertainment industry, he knew the principle of getting together and breaking up easily. Since An Keru had decided to leave, there was nothing he could do but Said: "Okay, Keru, I wish you good luck!"
After saying that, Director Song hung up the phone, but in his heart he had already blacklisted An Keru, and would never cooperate with An Keru again.
An Keru also knew that he might not cooperate with Director Song in the future, as he had offended someone this time.
However, she had no regrets. She packed her things, got into the nanny car and rushed to the train station overnight to report in Hengdian.
Now, she just wants to see Wang Cheng as soon as possible.
