Chapter 830 Be Cautious
"Special Identity" is a very embarrassing movie.
It feels like the script is entirely used to fill in three fight scenes, so there are so many plots between the male protagonist and his mother. Is it necessary for a rich and powerful undercover gangster to be so clingy to his mother?
Does the plot need her, or does the martial arts instructor need her more?
To put it bluntly, the existence of the role of mother is ultimately for the ultimate purpose of driving cars.
The only bright spot is the hard work of the protagonists, who are almost punching to the bone.
Donnie Yen, An Zhijie, Lu Huiguang, and Zou Zhaolong are the main actors. The style is unified, the interpretation is on point, the combination is smooth, and the scenes between them are obviously smooth and smooth.
It's a pity that Zou Zhaolong is a guest star and has no fighting scenes with the others.
Back to the topic, regarding the battle between Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen, many netizens have stood up to boycott Donnie Yen, scaring the producers and distributors of "Havoc in Heaven" so much that they didn't dare to show "Havoc in Heaven" until 2014...
Donnie Yen also took a break from working too much and went to the United States for a vacation. In the following years, few action films came out, including some inexplicable Hong Kong-produced New Year movies.
It can be said that this incident caused the suspension of domestic action movies for two years!
It is no exaggeration to say that Donnie Yen is currently the number one actor in action movies. If he is screwed, who will still make action movies?
Action movies need action actors!
There are only a few action actors who can make the audience buy it...
Of course, the rise of low-profile celebrities has also allowed capital to pour into the field of youth films!
Pulling back, Gao Jun said: "This matter... let's not get involved..."
"Um?"
"Zhao Wenzhuo is willing to bombard the crew and let him bombard it to increase the topic of the movie!"
Well, that’s what Gao Jun thinks!
I guess the whole crew of "Special Identity" had this idea. I didn't expect that it would develop into Hong Kong and Mainland China taking sides...
Shen Xudong thought for a while and asked, "How much money did you invest?"
"At first it was about 1 million, and Xin Xiaodong was also 1 million. Later, Xin Xiaodong added 4 million, and I also added 2 million..."
“…can we divest our capital?”
Gao Jun shook his head decisively: "Donnie Yen started a new venture and made "Special Identity" just for the sake of me and Xin Xiaodong. I'm withdrawing my investment now?"
"Do you also think Zhao Wenzhuo is too much?"
Gao Jun nodded: "I am an investor. From an investor's perspective, Donnie Yen is the number one male. His room fee for a day is 6,000 yuan. Zhao Wenzhuo's room fee for a day is 53,000 yuan... I have long been unhappy with him!"
"How much did he get paid?"
“…Less than 2 million…”
"What should normal be?"
"About 3 million..."
Shen Xudong was speechless: "I would rather have a smaller salary and a better life. Is there any problem?"
"The key point is that when we promoted it before, it was the duel between Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo. Many advertisers and brands also valued this gimmick... Now that Zhao Wenzhuo has left, many advertisers have also withdrawn their investment..."
Shen Xudong glanced at him and then said: "If I were Zhao Wenzhuo, I would lead the whole thing to make Hong Kong actors look down on mainland actors and bully mainland actors..."
"It's not that bad..."
"What's wrong is that you haven't seen Hong Kong and Taiwan bullying mainland actors?"
"...I have restrained myself a lot in the past two years..."
In the early years, actors and actresses from Hong Kong and Taiwan were on the same side in the mainland. Politically, they were "targets of the united front." Economically, they were called the box office, and all parties pampered them. As a result, this group of people said it was ugly but didn't treat them. Mainland actors and actresses are just human beings, not to mention celebrities, they are also the assistant directors, producers, stage managers, makeup artists and even the nannies they bring from Hong Kong and Taiwan. It is normal for a thief to have a bad temper and slap you both in the face at every turn!
Now, who dares to do this?
"But netizens don't know... There have been constant conflicts between the two sides in the past few years, and the Hong Kong media has reported various reports on the lack of quality of mainlanders... If this continues, Donnie Yen will be over!"
"Then...should I quickly ask the crew to apologize?"
"Well...not only do I need to apologize, but I also need to tell Donnie Yen not to underestimate the public opinion on the Internet...let him personally explain why the crew kicked Zhao Wenzhuo away!"
…
"Leader, I'm really puzzled. You said that we are good at publicity, but we have been beaten down by the likes of Pingri in the field of external publicity over the years?"
"My friend invested in a movie, and then Apple Daily reported it, so I paid attention and saw these headlines..."
"...Well, you are busy..."
Shen Xudong hung up the phone. He had just filed a complaint.
After making the call, Shen Xudong was about to go out to eat when the office door knocked. Gao Fenfen came in, followed by... Da Tiantian: "You want to go out?"
"...I'm going to go downstairs to eat...together?"
"OK!"
When the three of them went out, Shen Xudong asked casually: "Why is Tiantian here?"
Gao Fenfen answered helpfully: "She came to the variety show department on the fourth floor... Now she asked Tianmei Entertainment to renew the contract for the next three seasons of "Running Man"!"
"The next three seasons? Zhejiang Satellite TV renewed it for three seasons at once?"
"Well, both "The Voice of China" and "The Voice of China" have been renewed for three seasons..." Gao Fenfen lowered his voice: "I heard them say that Tianmei Entertainment is preparing to launch "The Masked Singer" and "Let's Time Travel"?
"…right…"
"...Hua Yi also spent a lot of money to produce "I See You Have a Show" and "Sisters Over Flowers"...Variety shows are more profitable than movies!"
"It's not that easy to do well. It's not just inviting a few celebrities to play a game or "Running Man"..." Shen Xudong looked at Da Tiantian: "Am I right, Tiantian?"
Da Tiantian shook her head: "...I don't know either."
Clear and stupid big eyes...
Talking to her about this is a bit bullying!
Shen Xudong simply changed the subject: "...Has your company invested in the project "Special Identity"?"
"Hmm... Donnie Yen plays the leading role, so we voted for it."
"What's wrong, do you want to change your mind to hitting girls?"
"Can't you?"
"You have thin arms and legs...you must at least have muscles when you beat a girl..."
Gao Fenfen was not happy: "What you are saying is that there are no female celebrities with muscles on their bodies?"
"Wang Zhi, her thighs are very strong..."
Gao Fenfen looked at him suspiciously: "How do you know..."
Shen Xu hurriedly explained: "...She has been practicing martial arts since she was a child...We have worked together in "The Grandmaster". Originally, her role in this movie was a female beater, the kind who had to fight against Donnie Yen. During the audition, she performed several sets of boxing. Tiger and tiger make wind!”
Da Tiantian rolled up her sleeves and looked at her arms: "It's really a bit thin, I should gain some muscle..."
Gao Fenfen also suggested: "It's best to cut your hair short to look more capable..."
"right!"
"Xudong, what suggestions do you have?"
…The best advice is to stay out of that drama…
Of course, Shen Xudong couldn't tell directly, but asked about the plot, and Da Tiantian talked about the plot of "Special Identity"...
Sure enough, it's the same old story, a story about an undercover agent with no culture and loyalty. I want to use the shell of "Police Story 3 Super Cop", but I don't dare to make it into a real big production...
"So your and Donnie Yen's characters are happy enemies?"
"right!"
Shen Xudong thought for a while and then asked: "Can I push?"
