Chapter 637 Just a Character

It's actually quite difficult to be an actress.

This phenomenon is not unique to the Chinese film and television industry. It has been like this since the birth of movies. Although it has been more than 100 years, it has not changed much.

Especially in the era of commercial movies!

In Hollywood in the last century, Julia Roberts, Sandra Brooke, and Cameron Diaz all relied on romantic movies to maintain their so-called celebrity status.

Angelina Jolie is different from the three of them. She is actually famous for her action movies. After Lara Croft came out in "Tomb Raider", her personal charm was top-notch, but the box office of the few movies she made after that was just like that. Thanks to her on-again, off-again relationship with Brad Pitt, she remains a hot topic all year round.

Even if a widowed sister later appeared...

In those Marvel movies, are actors important?

In the era of big IP, it is not the actors who are popular, but the characters - Iron Man, Spider-Man, Captain America, and Black Widow are the ones who carry the box office.

After breaking away from the IP, the commercial films they starred in did not only have good reputations, but also had the same box office.

The same goes for the Chinese-language film industry. Even in the golden age of Hong Kong films, the box office leaders were directors such as Wu Yusheng, Tsui Hark, and Wong Jing.

Brigitte Lin, Maggie Cheung, Anita Mui, Chung Chu-hong, and Rosamund Kwan are all very famous!

But for the movies with the highest box office in their acting careers, the actors who carried the box office were Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat...

What it can do is just the icing on the cake.

This fact is quite normal, because the mainstream consumer group in the film market is men.

What kind of themes do male audiences like?

War, action, science fiction and comedy.

Among the four themes, except for comedy themes where there is room for women to play, the other three categories have no room for actresses to play at all!

If an actress wants to lead the box office, there is a way out, she can do comedy.

But there are too few actresses suitable for comedy...

After listening for a long time, Sister Jiuyi finally understood: "After all, I can only act in romantic light comedies?"

"Yes...but you are too beautiful and very aggressive towards female audiences...naturally not suitable for this type of movie!"

Well, if I remember correctly, Sister Jiuyi later collaborated with Jin Yimeng, the director of "Perfect", in a movie called "One Night of Surprise"...

It's just a copy of "One Night Pot" - the story of a one-night stand, getting drunk, getting fertilized, and then looking for a husband...

The same logic as a psycho—find the man who raped you and then marry him?

Logic aside, Fan Bingbing is naturally not suitable for a role like this...

You are Master Fan!

Well, I feel like Fan Bingbing and Zhang Ziyi both have a Mary Sue dream. Although they are powerful and wild on the surface, they both have a girlish heart. Therefore, Sister Jiuyi has "The Legend of Wu Mei Niang", and Zhang Ziyi filmed it. "Shangyang Fu"...

In fact, there is Lin Xinru, she also has Mary Sue's masterpiece "The Princess"...

But Lin Xinru was not blind at all. The leading and supporting actors she found were Yan Yikuan and Huo Jianhua. Let's look at Zhang Ziyi... the appearance of the leading and supporting actors in "Shang Yang Fu" is disappointing.

Ahem...

Sister Jiuyi sat at the computer desk, flipping through Shen Xudong's new novel: "What is this "Love Is Not Blind"?"

"...a work about lost love, you are not suitable..."

"Why?"

Shen Xudong was watching TV and said casually: "No man is willing to leave you, and no best friend can take advantage of you..."

"Who said that?"

"I'm talking about public perception..."

Fan Xiaopang flipped through the computer... In addition to "33 Days of Love" there was also... "Perfect World". He was speechless: "There is no plan in your computer!"

"Then on another computer..."

"Another computer? Where is it?"

Shen Xudong smiled: "...The movie project belongs to the company's plan for the next three years. It is still in the confidentiality stage. Do you think I will show it to you?"

"Then you let me come over?"

Sister Jiuyi was a little angry. She left the computer desk and sat back on the sofa: "Don't you fall in love with me?"

"...Well, almost!"

Where is Shen Xudong?

Genius writer, genius director, cool young man, walking wardrobe...

By the way, Bole also has a good reputation and has discovered a large number of young directors.

Plus, you’ll make money!

If there is a scandal with him, Shen Xudong will suffer anyway.

This is the benefit of personality!

However, Chen Xi was very angry. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with Shen Xudong's exchange of skills with actresses, he simply felt that the fat was flowing to outsiders!

I’ve told you, if something like this happens, try to consider our actresses.

Especially Tang Yan, Tang Yan has ushered in an initial explosive period this year. With the popularity of "Before Dawn" and "A Good Marriage", she has initially gained popularity, but... she has lost the topic!

In the entertainment era, female stars who have no topics will eventually be forgotten.

If this is discussed with Shen Xudong for a period of time, the topic will definitely explode.

She mentioned it several times, but Shen Xudong refused, saying, "If female celebrities in the industry rely on such unfair methods to gain media attention, I think this is incorrect. You should also reflect on it." Work hard to improve yourself and don’t think about taking shortcuts! ’

Damn you, are you still entangled with Fan Jiuyi?

It was nine o'clock, and Shen Xudong still didn't come to work. Chen Xi simply prepared to call and ask, and then the staff knocked on the door. It was the box office summary information of "Racing"...

As of the 10th, "Racing" has a total box office of 168 million, and its reputation is still very stable...

Theater chains are also very supportive.

But the day after tomorrow, the "Report of Registration" will be published!

I guess "Racing" has no chance of breaking 200 million...

Forget it, make a call and ask Xudong.

After listening to her report, the latter thought for a while, and then said: "...Whether it can break 200 million depends on what the China Film and Film Bureau means. Ask Director Han and Bureau Tong... I think they should be happy to see it. There is news that all three movies in the Lunar New Year season have exceeded 200 million!"

"Three parts?"

"Three movies: "Crazy Racing", "Report", and "Mobile Phone 2"!"

"…OK…"

"Is there anything else? I'll hang up if it's okay..."

After saying this, Shen Xudong was about to hang up the phone... He still had to catch up on his sleep!

"…What did you do last night?"

"Fan Bingbing!"

Chen Xi was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and said angrily: "...Didn't you say you don't like her?"

"...I just don't like her character, it's not that I don't like her body...Besides, she took the initiative to ask for a fight, and I can't refuse. That's it, hang up now, and we'll talk about it tomorrow!"
