Chapter 330 Enjoyment and Preview
Wang Hao's advice to Liu Yifei was definitely not aimless.
If we were to say which Chinese female star has the thickest blood, it would definitely be Liu Yifei.
This can be seen from the fact that after ruining her reputation in the film industry, she can still become very popular after returning to the television industry.
In her previous life, Liu Yifei started filming a series of movies from this year, including "A Chinese Ghost Story", "The Banquet", "The Four", "The Palace of the Bronze Bird", "The Legend of White Ghost: The Desperate Escape", "The Third Way of Love", "So Youth: You Are Still Here", "Night Peacock", and "Eternal Love".
The people collaborating here range from Hong Kong and Taiwan stars to mainland traffic stars. It cannot be said that the resources are bad, but they are definitely not bad either.
As a result, the reputation of these movies became worse and worse, and they failed to make any splash in the market.
By the way, even the audience and fans' impression of Liu Yifei has been declining again and again.
In the end, Liu Yifei only filmed one movie, "Mulan", in the three years from 17 to 20. Then she fell from the movie industry to the TV industry, and continued to compete with Yang Mi, Liu Shishi and a group of young actresses.
But even after returning to the small screen, she is still as popular as ever. The three TV series she starred in consecutively, "Dream of Red Mansions", "Where the Wind Is" and "The Story of Rose", all became big hits and caused quite a stir. This shows how heavy the filter those born in the 1990s have for her is.
So what Wang Hao said is right. As long as she can calm down, not be arrogant or impatient, carefully select scripts, and rather do poorly than miss out, she will definitely be able to move up a few steps among the actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry in the future.
Unfortunately, facing Wang Hao's advice, Liu Yifei felt helpless.
"There aren't many good scripts for me to choose from now. There aren't many suitable scripts that come to me.
The best script I have come across in recent years is your "Taken", otherwise I wouldn't take it so seriously.
Besides, I am not very good at choosing scripts. When I get a script, I can’t tell whether it is good or bad.”
As Liu Yifei spoke, she looked at Wang Hao with expectant eyes.
"How about you help me with some advice in the future, Brother Wang?"
"Then you can't get rid of me with this meal."
Wang Hao smiled and looked at her. The little girl didn't know what she was thinking of. Her face turned red, but she pretended to be tough and said:
"I haven't told you yet that you bullied me and made me cry during the last filming."
“Hey hey hey!” Wang Hao waved his hands repeatedly, “You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. If your fans heard what you said, they would definitely kill me.”
Liu Yifei didn't understand it at first. It took her a while to react and she spat lightly.
"Bah, you rascal! You haven't even mentioned choosing a script yet."
Wang Hao took a sip of the champagne next to him and said:
“For someone like you who is not a good actor, the first thing you should remember when choosing a script is to try to choose a character that fits your personality.
The most frightening thing about being an actor is acting just for the sake of proving yourself.
Especially when there are too many criticisms from the outside world, many celebrities and artists will fall into this dilemma, always wanting to prove their acting skills through a movie.
Some even cross the line and accept so-called large-scale shots..."
"I won't do that kind of thing. What others say is their business." Liu Yifei said with certainty.
Wang Hao glanced at her.
“Don’t be so full of yourself. Pressure doesn’t come all at once. It’s often a subtle influence.
What's more, I can see that you are still very determined. Have you really never taken those voices in the past to heart?"
Wang Hao's words silenced Liu Yifei, and she couldn't help but pick up the red wine beside her and take a big sip.
"So, the most important thing for an actor is to know himself and not be disturbed by the outside world..."
Afterwards, Wang Hao and Liu Yifei analyzed in detail the types of movies that are suitable for her and what roles can fully bring out her charm.
Of course, the two did not continue their conversation from the restaurant to the hotel.
Liu Yifei was actually a little hesitant and disappointed about this. After all, the atmosphere tonight was good, but she was different from those other female stars. It was impossible for her to get into bed with just one chat. It was not that cheap.
As for Wang Hao, he just met an acquaintance in a foreign country today and had a casual chat with him.
If he really had feelings for Liu Yifei, with his ability and status, he could have tried to do it when he was filming "Taken".
But as Wang Hao said before, this girl is ambitious. She may not be willing to have a one-night stand or be a mistress. If they really get together, she will definitely not tolerate Wang Hao doing anything outside.
Wan Qian was similar to her before, and they were not suitable for each other after all.
In comparison, Jing Tian has more of the temperament of a wife. She never asks about what he does outside and is obedient and sensible.
After finishing the preparations for Taken 2, Wang Hao immediately tackled the preparations for Limitless.
This movie is adapted from Alan Green's 2002 novel of the same name. Wang Hao purchased the adaptation rights of the novel early on and also integrated it into the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe", mainly targeting the European and American markets.
Of course, there will definitely be many differences in details between the adapted version of "Limitless" and the original version, but the main story has not changed much. It still tells the story of the protagonist Eddie discovering a new drug NZT-48 that can improve brain efficiency, and a series of events that happened.
This movie will have two spin-off TV series in the future, and will also have linkage with the Brilliant Group in Japan in the movie universe.
But that’s all in the future. After finishing the two film projects, Wang Hao also visited several airlines in the United States to see if there were any suitable private jets.
As Galaxy Cinematic Universe gradually expands the proportion of overseas films and becomes more global in orientation, Wang Hao will be traveling more frequently around the world in the future.
Therefore, owning a private jet will undoubtedly make transportation much more convenient.
As for private jets, they are luxury items with low cost-performance ratio. Wang Hao is now wealthy. He made more than 200 million US dollars by bottom-fishing during the financial crisis, and used part of the money to buy Apple and Google stocks. He now has a lot of assets overseas, which is more than enough for him to buy a private jet worth tens of millions of US dollars.
Moreover, this private jet can not only be used by himself, but also by the company's celebrity artists when they need to travel abroad for announcements in the future. The key is that luxury consumption can also avoid taxes.
This trick was learned from the future Alibaba CEO Alibaba Ma. The company paid for the plane, he bought it from the company, and then leased it back to the company. The company paid him an annual rent and also bore the maintenance and custody fees of the aircraft.
This not only avoids taxes, but also allows cash to be taken out of the company. Legal, compliant, and reasonable, this is what a true master does.
Wang Hao’s Galaxy Pictures is currently in the financing stage, so this private jet cannot be purchased immediately and we have to wait for some time.
When the company raises funds and goes public, let Galaxy Pictures do this. After all, he is a great director and has worked for the industrialization of China's film industry for so long. It is natural for him to enjoy himself.
Wang Hao visited several aircraft factories and finally set his sights on the Gulfstream G550, a private business jet produced by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation.
This aircraft was launched in 2003. It can be regarded as the first ultra-long-range business jet in human flight history with a direct flight range from New York to Tokyo. It is one of the world's top long-range jet business jet models with a maximum range of 11686 kilometers, a maximum cruising altitude of 15545 meters, and can carry 18 passengers.
The key is that this aircraft is the favorite model of many domestic wealthy people. Wang Hao also experienced it personally. Its interior space is indeed very spacious, and all kinds of furniture and facilities are available. It is completely a mobile aerial mansion, which can really give people an excellent experience.
Of course, Wang Hao actually had his eyes on Gulfstream’s latest model, the G650, which will also be the vehicle of the future JD.com boss. It is more expensive than the G550, but also better.
However, the aircraft is still in the test flight stage and has not yet been officially put into production. Even if you place an order now, you will have to wait until 2014 at the earliest.
On the contrary, although the Gulfstream G550 is not in stock, at least we don’t have to wait that long and it will be available for delivery in the second half of next year.
Considering that the sooner you buy, the sooner you can enjoy it, Wang Hao finally decided to order a Taiwan-class G550, which will be delivered in the second half of next year.
After solving the private jet issue, Wang Hao still couldn't return to Beijing immediately, because just after he watched the private jet, Galaxy Pictures sent him the edited pilot trailer of "Inception".
In this way, he had to urge Sony Pictures to prepare to start the promotion and warm-up work for "Inception". At the same time, he also took a job, which was to participate in an interview program with Leonardo.
This program was also specially arranged by Sony Pictures to promote "Inception". Originally, only Leonardo DiCaprio was planned to participate, but unexpectedly, director Wang Hao happened to be in New York, so he was also included.
Wang Hao has participated in an American talk show before. This time he participated with Leo DiCaprio, and there was no difference in the program.
The only thing is that the host still looks down on Wang Hao. This can be seen from the fact that he often ignores Wang Hao and focuses most of the topics on Leo.
Wang Hao did not show any dissatisfaction with this on the show. In the United States, people always talk about anti-discrimination.
But often the more something is lacking, the more it will be emphasized.
The discrimination against Chinese or black people by many white people in Europe and America is actually ingrained in their bones.
In this respect, Chinese people are actually slightly better. At least they will not be shot by white police officers while walking like black people.
Of course, it doesn’t matter if the host doesn’t pay attention to Wang Hao now, because after “Inception” is released, everyone in Hollywood will surely have heard of Wang Hao’s name.
After finishing the preliminary promotional work in North America, Wang Hao returned to Shangjing.
At this time, on the domestic Internet, the 30-second advance trailer of "Inception" has appeared in front of many movie fans, just like in the United States.
The trailer opens with a strange spinning top that's shaking and spinning, followed by the streets of Shanghai, Leonardo sitting in a helicopter, and the tilted water surface in a cup.
【A landmark legendary masterpiece】
Leonardo turned around and faced the screen with a serious expression.
[An unprecedented and bold adventure]
In the corridor, the two men climbed walls and fought each other with unusual skills.
【2012.01.01】
Li Binbin was wearing casual home clothes and stretched out his hand with a smile.
【Produced by Wang Hao】
The latest portable subconscious therapy device helmet reflects fascinating light.
[Invite you to experience the real science fiction brain-burning]
Leonardo suddenly opened his eyes and the screen went black.
Although it is only 30 seconds long and there are not many movie-related shots, the science fiction movie produced by Wang Hao, coupled with Leonardo's name, still makes many movie fans excited.
Everyone analyzed every scene in the trailer frame by frame, and combined it with some information released by the crew before, trying to guess the story of "Inception".
Some of them said that this was the same routine that Wang Hao had used in "Fatal Call" and "Source Code", except that there was an additional Hollywood superstar, Leo.
Some people admire Wang Hao very much and think that although his previous films related to subconscious therapy devices have the same science fiction elements, they also have many new breakthroughs, so this "Inception" will also have some differences.
Just when everyone was looking forward to Wang Hao's new movie and hoping that January 12, 1 would arrive soon, Wang Hao returned to Beijing and attended the opening ceremony of "Bad Genius" as a producer.
Just when Wang Hao went to the United States, the "Detective Chinatown" crew finally finished its publicity roadshow, and the movie came to a successful conclusion with a box office of 5.27 million yuan.
The entire Galaxy Pictures and the "Detective Chinatown" crew are extremely happy about this.
Because leaving inflation aside, the total box office of "Detective Chinatown" in mainland China is already ranked second in the "Galaxy Cinematic Universe".
It even ranked among the top in this year's mainland movie box office rankings.
However, before the crew of "Detective Chinatown" could be happy for long, they soon had a new job and once again devoted themselves to the preparation, shooting and production of "Bad Genius".
As the personal origin movie of Qin Feng, the protagonist of "Detective Chinatown", the male protagonist of "Bad Genius" is naturally played by Qin Feng, played by Bai Jingting.
In addition, there are three more important characters in this movie.
They are the female lead Su Xiaolin, a genius female student who has the same excellent memory as Qin Feng but comes from a poor family.
The second male lead, Pan Youping, is a wealthy second-generation man who originally looked down on Qin Feng. However, in order to pass the international examination and go to study in the United States, he still approached Qin Feng for help with generous compensation.
The second female lead, Ge Shishi, is Xiaolin’s best friend. The second male lead, Pan Youping, has a girlfriend. In order to go abroad with his boyfriend, he pulls Su Xiaolin into the cheating team.
