Chapter 977 Do You Really Think I Am a Saint? (14)

Zhou Xingchi is very greedy...

Moreover, there is no human touch!

In "The King of Kings 2000", Wang Jing invited Zhou Xingchi to guest star for 7 days with a salary of 1.2 million a day. However, after the movie was released, Zhou Xingchi suddenly found that he had been edited into the protagonist. He went to Wang Jing and said: "We must make up for it. 8.4 million, or I’ll sue you!”

Since then, Wang Jing has never cooperated with Zhou Xingchi again!

In fact, Wang Jing is Zhou Xingchi's best actor, including "The Gambler", "The Tricky Expert", "The Gambler 2: The Gambler in Shanghai", "The Deer and the Cauldron", "The Nine-Rank Sesame Official", "The Variety Star", and more There is a movie "Playing Back to School 3 Dragon Celebrates the Year of the Rooster"...

It can be called a classic!

If "The King of Thousand Kings 2000" talks about hospitality and was later cut into the role of the protagonist, of course he had to be compensated twice as much, and Wang Jing did give it.

Then he asked Luo Jiaying to play Tang Monk. It was originally a scene that he used in two plays. Luo Jiaying asked him for two remunerations, but he didn't give it. How to deal with this matter?

If you want to say that he has low emotional intelligence, that's bullshit!

Starting from a small job, I must have done a lot of dirty work.

For a person who has climbed up from the bottom step by step, if you want to say that he does not know how to look at people's faces and does not know how to "make trouble", then you are looking down on people!

It's just because he later became a big boss and can no longer care about other people's feelings.

It has nothing to do with low emotional intelligence!

Zhong Lifeng had always thought that Zhou Xingchi loved money so much because he was short of money, but then he investigated...

Damn, he is not short of money at all!

As early as 1994, he had a guaranteed salary of nearly HK$50 million every year, so he had the capital to meet wealthy people and speculate in real estate, and he could also start his own company.

In 2004, he bought a Tianbigao mansion for 320 million, demolished it and built 4 townhouses, and sold 3 of them and kept 1 for 1.5 billion.

Taking into account inflation and further investment, his personal assets alone can exceed 5 billion!

I really don’t understand why you are so greedy for money when you are so old and have no descendants.

Of course, having said that, whoever makes movies does not do it to make money. Do you think everyone is just Ma Yun? You invited all the great gods to make "Gong Shou Dao" for fun!

But people like him are really rare. The next day, he came to Jiahe and when he signed the contract, he said, 'The US$10 million will not be refunded, and the accounts will be divided anyway...'

"But "Sunny" is a drama, not a comedy, so it may not be a big hit..."

"So what are your expectations for this movie?"

"About one billion...there are many fans of yours in the mainland!"

"...Can I sign a supplementary clause?"

Zhong Lifang shook her head: "Either 15 million US dollars, or the second option... To be honest, we are also taking risks!"

"I heard that you invited Uncle Da to star in several movies?"

"Yes, science fiction movies...Uncle Da himself is also willing to try this type of role..."

"…All right…"

Stephen Chow nodded, and then...he didn't sign a contract, but still chose the $15 million acting contract...

…

"This person Zhou Xingchi... is obsessed with money. Please don't cooperate with us again after "Sunny"!"

"I'm not planning to continue working together. I'm thinking from a fan's perspective that Ng Mang-tat and Stephen Chow will work together for the last time..."

Zhong Lifang called Shen Xudong and told him about Zhou Xingchi's remuneration. Shen Xudong was also quite disappointed...

Ng Man-tat's repeated expressions of kindness in TV shows, such as "I won't die, he won't retire," already sounded almost like pleading.

Because his health has been getting worse and worse since before those words, and he should know that.

So that sentence can even be understood as, before I die and you haven't retired, let's work together again!

But there is still no cooperation...

Can't find the right role?

Oh my god, which character in Stephen Chow's movie can't be controlled by Ng Mang-tat?

Ng Mang-tat is a talented actor, and his views on acting far exceed those in Stephen Chow's movies. What is a suitable role?

Hong Kong is such a small place, and we are really good friends. We occasionally come out to get together, have dinner and chat, etc. It’s not too demanding, right?

The paparazzi in Hong Kong are so developed. If they really met for dinner or something, they would have been photographed a long time ago. Then news about Zhou Wu's reconciliation and other things were flying all over the sky. Have you seen it so far?

In the past twenty years, the two of them have almost never had a meal together or appeared together at the same time. Is it really because Zhou Xingchi is very busy?

Mean and unkind!

"Okay..." Zhong Lifang probably understood Shen Xudong's mentality, and continued: ""The Instructor" only sold more than two million U.S. dollars in box office in North America, but the box office in France was close to 1.5 million U.S. dollars..."

"What about all of Europe?"

"There is nothing in Europe, just France, Germany, Spain, Italy...the total amount is close to 5 million US dollars."

"It shows that Europe prefers this kind of movies... Let's focus on Europe for the next one!"

"good…"

Zhong Lifang nodded and then asked: "Then...what if Zhou Xingchi continues to film the "Journey to the West" series?"

"Just shoot...don't worry about him!"

"Fine…"

After hanging up the phone, Zhong Lifang sighed...

In fact, she used to be a fan of Stephen Chow, but after working together, she found that this person was indeed a bit difficult to deal with...

But she always felt that Wu Mengda... was not a big actor, and was only a passing comedian in Hong Kong.

Ng Mang-tat is just a golden supporting role in Hong Kong films. There are actually many such characters in Hong Kong films, Dasha Cheng Kuian, Pomegranate Sister Yuan Qiongdan...

The reason why Shen Xudong was deeply impressed by Wu Mengda was mainly because he starred in "The Wandering Earth"...

"The Wandering Earth" is certainly not Ng Man-tat's peak, but it is a sign that he is still active in the new era!

As the only Hong Kong film actor to participate, Ng Meng-tat has become a figure spanning two eras of Chinese films.

The new generation of audiences really got to know Ng Man-tat through "The Wandering Earth"!

Shen Xudong is similar, and he knows that Wu Mengta is very suitable for playing this kind of role. The most important thing is: an actor who played a clown and a comedian all his life in the colony, and finally appeared on the screen of the Republic in the last few years of his life. It’s quite interesting to get addicted to heroes!

There is another reason: Wu Mengda lived a good life as a martial arts man in the end.

Despite the pain, he made a judgment that was like divine help.

You know, before its release, many people thought that "The Wandering Earth" might not be able to compete with "Shanghai Fortress".

It was like a senior master, when the oil was running out, he danced a few tricks that he had never used before.

The magnificent swan song of the predecessor has naturally become an inescapable monument in the world.

You must know that before Wu Jing participated, the only big name in "The Wandering Earth" was Wu Mengda...

…

"Who's calling?"

"Zhong Lifang..."

"Zhong Lifang from Jiahe?"

"right!"

Shen Xudong was talking to someone. Well, he was talking to Zheng Zhihao from Maoyan and people from Tengxun about investing in shares...

Zheng Zhihao suddenly said: "Jiahe's several rebooted works this year have done well at the box office and received good reviews!"

"No way, the box office has not exceeded 400 million..."

"...It's already very good. I heard that the cost is around 40 million?"

""The Storm" is slightly higher...45 million Hong Kong dollars..."

"Can Maoyan participate in the production?"

"Of course!" Shen Xudong nodded: "In addition to selling tickets, my plan for Maoyan also involves participating in production and distribution. By the way, there is also a peripheral sales platform..."

"Periphery?"

Hearing the word "periphery", people invested by Tencent couldn't sit still...

"Um…"
