Chapter 477 [Historical records, go hand in hand]
In February, "You From the Stars" premiered in China, and in the first week it set off a ratings frenzy like "Struggle".
The development speed of Yingyi Entertainment Company surprised everyone. I have made a lot of money in the past two years. Even if Liang Kun no longer appears in TV series, "Yingyi Drama" can still suppress the films broadcast at the same time.
The script written by Liang Kun has not failed yet. Some of the talents in the Xiangjiang film and television industry brought by Andy Lau have also been significantly better in the quality of filming than the mainland crew. The beautiful pictures and the high appearance of actors have become the label of "Yingyi Drama".
Last month, Sun Rui, Tang Qi, Liu Zhen, Li Xiaolu and others became popular, and there have been discussions on them and the plot online.
Sun Rui became the male god in mainland China and the number one TV series in Yingyi Entertainment.
Korean star Liu Zhen became famous in China. She played Milai in love and cute, and finally succeeded in being with Lu Tao.
Tang Ji played a role with a complicated heart and was also outstanding. This time, many viewers recognized her acting skills. At first, everyone thought she would be the heroine who would go to the end with Lu Tao, and felt that her acting was very annoying. Finally, she went to France and everyone realized that the role was set like this.
Articles, Li Xiaolu and others also received high praise, and this film made many people famous.
This month, "You From the Stars" became the most eye-catching film and television drama, and the popularity of starring Gao Weiguang and Chen Qiaoen soared. They became popular chickens with two TV series, and they would be surrounded by fans when they went out to ask for autographs. Now it is not the time to have the highest ratings, Liang Kun's script is a happy ending. The professor gave up returning to his planet for the sake of the heroine and stayed on Earth.
Fans think that the only drawback is that Liang Kun did not write the theme song for these two TV series. The audience can understand that Liang Kun's career has shifted to the United States.
Liang Kun’s friends and actors from Yingyi Entertainment were asked questions about him many times during interviews. Because Liang Kun kept creating big news, domestic reporters could not interview him, so they could only give some comments to those who were familiar with him.
"Yingyi Drama" has been released one popular one, and there are many actors who want to join Yingyi Entertainment. Andy Lau is very cautious when signing a newcomer and will discuss it online with Liang Kun, but has not signed a single one recently.
Andy Lau and Liang Kun told Liang that he would help Li Keqin's good friend Li Jiasheng, but Li Jiasheng came to the mainland for a while and had not played the male lead in a TV series. If he signed some potential male actors, Li Jiasheng would have no chance.
This year, even Wang Baoqiang is going to play the male lead in "Soldier Assault" and has signed a contract. What Andy Lau wants to do most this year is to play a drama for Li Jiasheng and fulfill his promise.
There is an actress named Liu with good conditions. Andy Lau thought of signing. However, because she looks so similar to Son Ye-jin, Tang Qi felt that something would happen if she signed her. Old Liu was an insider and let the person go...
Liang Kun is not in China, but his reputation is even greater.
No star in Asia can surpass him. Even Zhang Ziyi was nominated for Best Actress in the Golden Globes Film Drama for "Memoirs of Geisha".
She was just nominated, and everyone knew that she was going to run with her. If an actor wanted to win the award, he must have to be nominated by Golden Ball and Oscar.
Liang Kun did not receive any nomination this month, but achieved amazing results in the American literary and music scene.
"The Lost Love" topped the New York Times bestseller rankings, and Liang Kun was the first Chinese author to do this, setting a historical record.
After the release of his "VivaLaVida", he ranked 45th on the 100 singles chart in the first week, creating a historical record of Chinese singers. No one has ever been on this chart before.
In the second week, with the popularity of the movie "Happy Death Day", the single soared to 10th place.
In the third week, DreamWorks announced that Liang Kun was a songwriter and singer, and he also wrote, directed and acted in the movie, and "VivaLaVida" won the second place again.
In the fourth week, the song became the champion single on Billboard, which surprised everyone. The American media first reported on this incident, and media from many countries in Europe and Asia also followed up.
"Chandelier" also received positive reviews. The female version sung by Ayumi Hamasaki was better than that of the male version sung by Liang Kun, and the Billboard ranked seventh in the fourth week.
The situation of Japanese people admiring foreign countries is very serious. With this song, Ayumi Hamasaki's popularity in Japan has increased again, which is almost the same as Madonna's status in the United States when she was at its peak. Many people now call her "Japanese Madonna".
The two of them have a scandal again, and Liang Kun always seems to be unable to forget about the good things about Hamasaki.
Liang Kun is now an international superstar, advancing in three fields, attracting the attention of countless people.
Fans and fans want to see how he writes. Book fans want to see his movies and listen to the songs and pure music he creates.
Paramount Pictures quickly launched Liang Kun's script "Escape Room" and offered him a $20 million budget.
Liang Kun's first movie had a very high box office and was deeply trusted by Spielberg. The senior executives of Paramount wanted to try what he could make the movie like for Liang Kun with 20 million, which might be even more exciting. As long as he maintains the level of the previous movie, he will definitely make money.
Spieburg's words work so well. Michael Bay made it like that when he filmed "Escape from the Clones" and Spieburg expressed his optimism, and Paramount asked Michael Bay to film the big production "Transformers".
As soon as this matter was confirmed, it was immediately reported by media from many countries, and Liang fans were not tired of chatting with Liang Kun every day.
"After the completion of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" last year, a group of people came out to compare Brother Kun with whom, saying that the younger one is better at whining without any illness, and will surpass Brother Kun in the future. I think this is OK, I don't know when he will copy a copy in the United States?"
"Brother Kun has been to the United States for half a year and won several championships. The artists who are not optimistic about him have not said anything recently. The slap in the face is so hard that they can't stop slapping, and the sound of slapping in the face is not like slapping in the face."
"I didn't understand why Brother Kun's record sales in China were unmatched, but he said he would no longer publish in Mandarin albums. Because for him, the upper limit of creation in China was not high enough, and he knew that he could also become famous in Europe and the United States. If an international superstar only plays in Asia, it would be a waste of talent."
"Why is "Happy Death Day" not released in China? Brother Kun is ready to shoot a new movie. Also, why did Brother Kun get along with Wolverine and Batman recently? Is this the rhythm of preparing for cooperation? "Escape from the Room" sounds like an action movie. If Brother Kun competes with these two people, it will definitely be very exciting."
Some fans thought it was too simple. Liang Kun and two superheroes had dinner together and made it to the news, but he couldn't invite the two to join the movie he directed. They just met on the crew of "The Deadly Magic" and had a meal together in their spare time.
Christian Bale is just popular and it is impossible to join a small-produced movie. Hugh Jackman's 2004 "Van Helsing" was a mess, and he could recover his health with the X-Men movies.
Liang Kun wants to establish a good relationship with them, and maybe he will have the opportunity to work together one day. Especially Bale, Liang Kun wants to play the clown in "The Dark Knight" and fall in love and fight him.
On February 16, Spieburg asked Liang Kun to have dinner outside in the evening and introduced him to the agency.
After he learned about the situation of the company, he signed the contract without hesitation.
As the most important position in Hollywood behind-the-scenes pusher, agents are a panacea for celebrities. They not only have to try their best to help celebrities sign good contracts, but also have outstanding skills to send stars to the podium. It can be said that behind every superstar's glory, the assistance of agents is indispensable.
What Liang Kun didn't expect was that Spieburg introduced him to Brian Lord, one of Hollywood's strongest agents and co-founder of CAA brokerage.
Liang Kun has proved his development potential, and Spieburg has personally proved that he is a genius. Brian will not underestimate him because of his nationality, and believes that cooperation is a win-win situation.
Brian's artists include Nicole Kidman, George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Madonna. Liang Kun believes in the company's strength and does not require too much consideration.
Brian, who is in a high position, does not care about everything about artists, and it is handled by his executive agent. The person in charge of Liang Kun is a somewhat bald white middle-aged man named Fred Christ. He will screen scripts for Liang Kun, get film contracts, invite advertisements to talk about endorsements, etc.
For major film contracts and endorsements, Brian will make the decision in person. Brian’s most powerful advantage is his social skills that overcome difficulties. There is a saying in Hollywood: “As long as you can find a way to get Brian’s mobile address book, you can do anything.”
Liang Kun wants to do a lot of things, but it’s really not possible without a good agent.
After Liang Kun went home after dinner, Constantine couldn't wait to ask: "Is there good news again tonight?"
"Yes, someone has helped to negotiate a contract in the United States. I told you about my own situation and introduced you. I don't have any words in the future, so please help me communicate."
Liang Kun's economic team has taken shape, so he can relax in trivial matters. He doesn't like to talk about business and has never liked it. If it weren't for this kind of personality, he wouldn't have chosen the path he is now.
Teresa asked: "Have you taught me any more experience?"
"He is just an introduction. He has also taught his experience a little, don't pay attention to Harvey Weinstein, especially the actress."
"What is this person doing?" Teresa didn't understand the American film industry.
"The producer of other companies is a scumbag." Liang Kun said with a smile.
Spieburg never said this, Liang Kun made it up by himself, but he believed Spieburg didn't like Harvey.
In 1999, "Save Private Ryan" won 11 Oscar nominations, but in the end they only received technical awards such as Best Director and Best Photography, Audio, Film Editing, and Sound Effect Editing. After the results came out, not only the crew were disappointed, but countless audiences also spoke out.
The biggest winner of that year was "Shapes' Love History", which won 6 awards, including Best Picture.
The success of "Shapes' Love History" is inseparable from the support of Harvey Weinstein. He used $5 million as the film's public relations expenses and finally "controlled" the Oscars.
