Chapter 829 "Special Identity"
In fact, there was not much conflict between Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen at the beginning.
The initial trigger of the incident was that "Apple Weekly" wrote an article saying that Zhao Wenzhuo was fired from the crew for acting like a big name. The article belittled and ridiculed Zhao.
This weekly magazine has said bad things about Zhao Wenzhuo many times before and is known as Hong Kong's number one gossip media. In fact, few people believe what it says. If Zhao doesn't reply, his popularity will soon fade away.
After Zhao Wenzhuo saw this article, he was very angry and issued a statement denying it, and asked the crew to issue a statement as well.
The crew also issued a statement at the beginning, which was more official, saying that the two parties had terminated their cooperation due to differences in creative concepts.
If nothing happens at this time, the news will be over in a few days...
However, Zhao Wenzhuo was not very satisfied with this statement and asked the crew to reissue it, which probably meant asking the crew to refute the content of "Apple Weekly" point by point.
The crew didn't agree...
The crew did not agree, and seemed to tacitly agree that what Apple Weekly said was partly true.
Then Zhang Wang, the producer of the crew, said in an interview that Zhao Wenzhuo is a very good person, but he cannot accept the room fee (53,000 a day) as a producer. Money is the most important thing to him as a producer. As of now At the end of the cooperation, the house fee has exceeded one million.
At that time, Zhao Wenzhuo went to the media not to target Donnie Yen, but more to cleanse himself. Someone asked him how Donnie Yen was doing, and he said that Donnie Yen didn't like to talk, and the two rarely communicated...
Until someone said that Donnie Yen disagreed with the crew's statement, Zhao Wenzhuo became angry and started to target Donnie Yen, saying that Donnie Yen was acting like a big star and was a tyrant on the set...
Donnie Yen is indeed a tyrant on the set. He is not only an actor, but also a martial arts instructor.
What to watch in action movies?
Of course, watch the fight!
As an action director, leading actor, and action scenes, Donnie Yen will definitely have to monopolize the power...
The tyrant is understandable!
Why are you throwing dirt on Donnie Yen?
Traffic!
You can just copy and paste some things, and then combine them to create hundreds of thousands of articles!
Those Internet speculators, marketing accounts, and Weibo who hope to attract a large number of clicks in a short period of time realize that creating rumors about Donnie Yen is a shortcut to attract a lot of attention in a short period of time!
The impatient media also hyped it up and mentioned it repeatedly to ignite readers' emotions.
Amidst the scolding, no one cared about the truth and follow-up of the incident.
For a time, "Don't be too Donnie Yen" became a popular saying!
Moreover, the business endorsements carried by Donnie Yen were quickly divided - complaints were made about the products endorsed by Donnie Yen, such as Head & Shoulders, Wal-Mart, Procter & Gamble, etc.
During that time, there was a group of people attacking Donnie Yen's comments on Weibo. It was almost everything you could think of, how disgusting it is...
Bullied Zhao Wenzhuo, bullied Wu Jing, bullied Shi Xiaolong, and was beaten to tears by Li Lianlian...
I'm really speechless. You want to say that he has conflicts with Wu Jing and Shi Xiaolong. Even if it's a false claim, it's a bit like it, but Li Lianjie?
Brother, around 2000 years ago, Donnie Yen was working as a martial arts instructor in Hollywood. It was Li Lianjie who called him to film "Hero" through a phone call, and then he returned to the field of Chinese action films...
In the end, this incident was a major disaster in the public relations circle. It was a major blow to both of them and a fatal blow to Chinese-language action movies. It is also a big blow to mainland-Hong Kong relations...
Of course, the trouble hasn’t gotten out of hand yet!
Now, it's just Zhao Wenzhuo's stage of attacking the crew, and it is estimated that Donnie Yen will be involved soon...
Chen Xi saw that Shen Xudong knew the whole thing very well, so he asked, "What should we do?"
"...How many more films do we have with Donnie Yen?"
"There are three more films in the "Ip Man" series to be made. In addition, Golden Harvest's "Not For Sale" and "Virus"..."
"Not for Sale" is "Hurricane Rescue": with a little gangster factor added: Dongzhe, a former gangster brother, chose to sell fish after a good career. However, even selling fish could not escape his previous life, because fish import and export are very suitable for Hands and feet - stuffed with white powder or something, the gang forced him, and even kidnapped his wife...
Then it's a matter of going all the way.
Donnie Yen is the male protagonist.
"Virus" is "Train to Busan" and is going to be filmed in Thailand...
Donnie Yen plays the second male lead, and the first male lead is Leung Ka Fai...
Both films need Donnie Yen.
And they all signed a contract!
Therefore, at this time, staying out of the situation is not a good choice!
"I heard that Gao Jun also invested in this drama. Go ask him and find someone to post it on Weibo... Forget it, I will post it. You don't have the influence like me!"
…
The project "Special Identity" evolved from "Ultimate Decoding"...
Tan Bing started operating the "Ultimate Decoding" project in 2008, and successively contacted Yang Kun and Jackie Chan through Gao Jun, Xin Xiaodong and others and persuaded them to join. However, due to his unauthorized appointment of the male protagonist Sun Honglei, Yang Kun withdrew his investment, and then Jackie Chan withdrew...
Tan's wife Zhang used some means to defraud Da Tiantian to join, and attracted Donnie Yen to join on the grounds that Jackie Chan was the producer. Later, Donnie Yen recommended Zhao Wenzhuo to join the group.
However, due to the philosophical differences between Tan Bing and investors and his personal ability issues, "Ultimate Decoding" was aborted.
Later, because small investors such as Xin Xiaodong and Gao Jun did not want their investment to be aborted, they started to prepare for the "Special Identity" project. Because the changes in the script and the scenes were different from what Tan Bing had promised to Zhao Fang, this was a contradiction between Zhen and Zhao. The reason…
Company, Shen Xudong took a quick look at the process, and then wondered: "Wait a minute, Tan's wife Zhang used some means to defraud Da Tiantian to join? How?"
"His wife Zhang Jing is the producer of "Havoc in Heaven". As a producer, she obtained the contract between Donnie Yen and the party of "Havoc in Heaven" and forged it as the contract of "Ultimate Decoding" to deceive Da Tiantian joins the group."
"Forged contract? Damn, are you so brave?"
"Has been arrested..." After a pause, Gao Jun continued: "Actually, the main problem with the new script is that Jing Tian has too many scenes, so Zhao Wenzhuo's scenes need to be deleted..."
"...Why does Jing Tian want to act in this play?"
"She wants to explore her own acting career..."
"...Someone with thin arms and legs...plays a beating girl?"
Shen Xudong shook his head: "How do you play with this confrontation between two heroes and a woman?"
"Special Identity", I just remember An Zhijie yelling: 'My rules are the rules'...
As for Jing Tian, yes, she is the heroine and has a lot of roles, but she has no memorable moments!
Let's put it this way, this movie, even after cutting out the scenes between Da Tiantian's appearance and the fight scene between Donnie Yen and An Zhijie, this is still a pretty perfect action movie, and you will find that the plot is still coherent.
What a magical thing!
Gao Jun explained: "There is no way, they account for the majority of the investment..."
"How's the script?"
"...It's quite cliche, but for action scenes, it doesn't matter if it's cliché, as long as it's new!"
