Chapter 1279 The Great Wall

Leon said with a smile on his face: "It's not that I don't want to put any burden on you, sister. You are already so tired just from the live broadcast, how dare I ask you to increase your workload."

"I suspect that you have colluded with my fans and are deliberately trying to trick me, right?" Luo Quan's face became weird, and then he said: "But it's not a bad thing to make some domestic movies, but you should also find a good one." Director."

"Isn't Zhang Emo still good?" Leon looked a little surprised. "I saw that he also won awards from three major film festivals. He even won the Grand Prize from China. He even directed the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games. How can this be so? No?"

"That's all in the past." Luo Quan shook his head and sighed, "Director Zhang was brilliant in the past, but the quality of his films in recent years has been okay, but he always feels that he has fallen behind. Many of the films he made are inferior to It's like trapping money.

And I guess you won’t be able to make money even if you make this movie. Isn’t this just because you want to watch the great success of the movie and want to make an oriental fantasy to gain popularity? "

"Is this like this?" Leon's face turned ugly, "But I have signed the contract, so won't I have to breach the contract next?"

"It's not necessary." Luo Quan suddenly laughed, "I told you before that you would be on the street when you filmed Little Times, but in the end the results were actually pretty good, and the box office ratings were much higher than expected.

Therefore, the movie The Great Wall may not necessarily be a hit on the street. It mainly depends on how well it is shot. "

"Is it official yet?" Luo Quan said and turned on his phone.

Leon nodded: "It has been officially announced and the cast has been confirmed."

Luo Quan opened Weibo and saw "The Great Wall" related entries on the hot search.

The movie's gimmick was just as she guessed, Eastern magic, big-name actors, and well-known directors.

Among the actors, in addition to the idiot Leon, there are also Hua Ge, Da Tiantian and some well-known Mesozoic actors.

Of course, as a big director who likes to use young idols the most, emo chose two idol idols for "The Great Wall" this time, namely Wang Junhai, who was trained by China itself, and Lu Han, who returned from South Korea's top group.

They were all idols who were very popular in the past and had been top celebrities for a period of time.

Why do I say before? It's because these two are now in decline.

After Wang Junhai's boy band disbanded, his popularity plummeted, and he made several movies without any success.

Compared with the four characters from the same group, they have already been nominated for the Golden Rooster Best Actor, and they also have many hit movies in their hands.

Although there are many controversies about him, it is undeniable that Si Zi's current traffic and celebrity status are quite high in the entertainment industry, and he is a celebrity among celebrities.

As for the other member Hua Zi, he is even more powerful.

In the Internet age, how many people can live a lifetime of food and drink just by relying on a meme.

As for the meme "Hua Zi", it is one of the highest ranking among the countless hot memes on the Internet, because so many people use it.

Although his reputation is not very good, as long as Huazi's memes are still there, he will always be popular.

Black and red can also be considered red.

As for Wang Junhai, no one even tried to criticize him, and he was completely ignored by everyone.

To be able to get the big production "The Great Wall" this time, Wang spent a lot of effort to promote it, hoping to make a comeback with this movie.

As for Lu Han, his situation is actually not much better.

When this returning fourth son was at his peak, he was the only popular domestic entertainment idol.

However, since the official announcement of his relationship, his fans have dropped by half, which once again proves the entertainment industry's right decision to conceal marriage and romance.

So until now, many people are still asking whether Luo Quan is in love or not, and whether he deliberately concealed it because he was afraid of losing fans.

Of course, Luo Quan usually wouldn't pay attention to such outrageous remarks.

Back to Lu Han, when he took on The Great Wall this time, he basically had the same plan as Wang Junhai, hoping to make a comeback with this work.

So the official announcement of the movie had just come out, and these two companies couldn't wait to market it. After ten years of hard work, it would be a conscientious masterpiece, a movie star would join the cast, and it would be a national idol.

The national idol here is not the two of them, but Andy.

With Andy's influence, he is now one of the most well-known celebrities in the country, and there is no problem at all.

If you have to compare, even Luo Quan might be weaker than Hua Tsai.

In addition, the heroine is Da Tiantian.

This can be considered a topical figure in the entertainment industry.

Before that, she had already participated in many big-budget movies at home and abroad. Even movie stars had done supporting roles for her, but they were just not popular.

Although the words "I have a backstage" have been written on your face, it turns out that the entertainment industry is not a place where you can have a backstage and have all the influence. If you want to become popular, you still have to please the audience.

The good news is that although Da Tiantian has been praised for so many years, she has always been popular among passers-by because of her beautiful and majestic appearance and her lack of any troubling behavior.

In addition, the incident of being stabbed in the back by her ex-boyfriend a while ago became well known on the Internet. As a victim, Da Tiantian also made countless netizens feel distressed and gained a lot of fans, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Of course, most girls probably don't want to have such a blessing.

But how can I put it, the lineup of this Great Wall is acceptable at first glance. It has actors, fans, big names, and famous directors, and it has a very high-profile theme, which is to open up the Hollywood market.

If you dare to shout slogans like this, then the film production itself must be very good. It is indeed easy to scare people who don't know the truth.

But Luo Quan knows that in movies with this kind of combination, the explosion is almost written on his face.

The story of a foreigner saving the Eastern world will definitely not satisfy anyone in the Chinese market that has been baptized by Wolf Warriors.

It may be a gimmick for the Chinese to save the Western world, but if you do it the other way around, it would be great if netizens don't scold you.

And Luo Quan has always believed that adding traffic meat to movies is a huge mistake.

People who can't even act are still cast in movies. Do you think they are all geniuses like Bao Qiang?

Moreover, even Bao Qiang has been trained step by step through group performances, and there is a process of improvement.

These two freshmen have been filming movies and TV series for so long. Have you seen any progress?

Maybe, but it certainly wouldn't be able to support such a big production.

Therefore, Luo Quan feels that this movie will most likely be a hit.

However, there is no doubt about Leon's acting skills. He just needs to play his role well in the movie.

Which actor has never made a bad movie?

Originally, Luo Quan wanted to use "Little Times" to make him suffer, but unexpectedly, due to a strange combination of circumstances, "Little Times" became a documentary film that vividly reflects the life of Shanghai's upper class society, and its reputation also returned from facing collapse to passing standards. above.

Therefore, after the release of this movie, Lyon gained a lot of female fans, and male netizens did not attack him much. It can be said that he gained both fame and fortune.

So, if you want to hit Lyon, you can only rely on the Great Wall.

Of course, as a sister, Luo Quan is definitely not a devil.

After her brother was hit, of course she would come up with some compensation to comfort him.

After all, her purpose was just to let Leon know about the dangers of the Chinese film market and accept any other movies.

The emo part was okay, it was like a happy-go-lucky movie, but now it's the worst of the worst, not even a bit untouchable.

So maybe an emo movie isn't enough, and Leon needs to be cast in a happy-go-lucky comedy, so that he can let him know that he is not loved by everyone online?

However, Luo Quan has no plans to implement this idea yet. Let's wait and see how the "The Great Wall" turns out first. If this movie is enough to make Leon doubt his life, there is no need to give him more A secondary injury.

"By the way Leon, I have a literary film here. After you finish filming "The Great Wall", you can study the script."

Luo Quan sent a document on her phone to Leon. It was a new script she had taken the time to write in the past few days.

"Finally, I have a scene to film." Leon cheered happily.

Originally, he took the movie in China just to relieve his boredom. With the script in hand, how could he know if it was a bad movie?

But compared with bad movies, good movies are not so easy to find. You have to wait for a long time.

So Leon chose to take a bad movie to relieve his boredom, but he also picked some bad movies among the bad movies that were pretty good. At least the actors, directors and production of this one were pretty good, so there was a possibility of salvation.

Of course, judging from the current network environment, foreigners will definitely not be able to work together to save the East.

But if he, a foreigner, could praise the goodness of the East, lament how ancient and advanced this civilization is, how diligent and intelligent the people here are, and how spectacular and beautiful the architecture and scenery here are.

There is no doubt that it will satisfy countless people.

In fact, this is also the consistent routine of many foreign video creators.

Whether they like China or China's money, only they know.

But the audience loves to watch it, Chinese netizens love to watch it, and they themselves can make money. Who would reject this win-win behavior for heroes?

But the problem is that the emo movie "The Great Wall" is intended to please foreigners, but if you want to get a good box office in China, you will be seeking your own death if you engage in the above behavior.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to save a work that is contradictory from the beginning of its creation.

So Lyon didn't have high hopes for this.

It can only be said that he will work hard to play this role well, and then make a movie to increase his popularity, and he won't have too many extravagant hopes for the rest.

Of course, the money given by the crew is indeed very, very large, and the salary for one movie can be compared to others for several years.

"Look, sister, what kind of movie are you going to make this time?"

Leon opened the file sent by Luo Quan with a smile, and first saw the name of the script:

"Manchester by the sea..."

After seeing this movie, Leon immediately became interested.

Manchester, this is his favorite team. He used to stay up all night watching the Champions League with fans.

"That's great. Do you plan to make a documentary about Manchester City's feat of winning the Triple Crown this season?"

Leon almost jumped up from the sofa with excitement.

Luo Quan smiled helplessly: "Then you are overthinking. This Manchester is not Manchester in the UK, but Manchester in the United States.

And the story is about a case that happened here, and it has no special meaning.

So there is not much difference whether it is Manchester by the sea, Liverpool by the sea or Arsenal by the sea. "

"Damn, I'm just happy for nothing." Leon sat on the sofa for a while, feeling a little depressed.

Luo Quan chuckled: "This is a tragic story, which tests the acting skills of actors. If it is filmed well, you can be like me and win the second best actor."

"So awesome!" Leon blinked, lowered his head and began to read the script carefully.

At the beginning of the story, the male protagonist went to the supermarket to buy some wine to drink.

But when he went out, he forgot to put the insulation board on the burning fireplace, causing the whole house to catch fire.

When he came back from the supermarket, the fire truck had put out the fire.

But unfortunately, his two children died in the fire, and his wife was burned unconscious...

"Oh, this is too tragic." After reading only the beginning, Leon showed an expression of pity.

Especially the family environment of the protagonist in it is similar to his.

He is also a father with children. It is hard to imagine what it would feel like if he encountered such a situation.

Just imagining that scene, Leon fell into emo.

"You won't get into the role so quickly, will you?" Luo Quan pushed Leon's shoulder and found that he was full of worry. "Stand up and save your state for the shooting."

"Sister, have you been stimulated recently?" Leon raised his head with a bitter face and asked Luo Quan.

"Why do you ask that?" Luo Quan frowned slightly, "I'm only in my twenties, you won't be in menopause because of me!"

Leon smiled helplessly: "Then why are the movies you have made recently so tragic? I want to cry after reading the two scripts."

"Because tragedy is easier to impress people, and I just happened to have the inspiration for these two scripts." Luo Quan said with a snort: "If you don't like it, then I will find someone else to shoot it."

"How can that be." Leon quickly stopped his sister, "I just said a few words, in fact, I also like tragedy, and who else can play this role?

Besides me, Who else can play such a complex and sensitive role well? ! "

"Haha, your ability to brag is getting stronger and stronger." Luo Quan gave Leon a cold smile, "This movie is very important to you. It is a key work to get rid of the idol label. You must play it well."

"Don't worry, sister, I am definitely more concerned than you." Leon nodded quickly, "When I finish filming The Great Wall, I will devote myself to this movie and wait for your call at any time!"

Luo Quan nodded: "I guess I can't shoot it this year. Let's wait until the beginning of next year to see if the strike in Hollywood can be stopped by then."
