Chapter 259 New Journey

The income of celebrities in the entertainment industry has always been an extremely sensitive topic. The handsome men and beautiful women who interpret the glorious life under the flash are so secretive about their behind-the-scenes stories.

On the third day after Wang Xu held a press conference, the well-known blogger Changchun Guomao broke out a list of appearance fees for seven stars of "Running Man". The list revealed that Wang Xu's appearance fees were as high as 60 million.

The news shocked the entertainment industry and caused netizens to shout: 60 million! It's enough for me to play girls with luxury cars. It's not the same for 60 days!

The appearance fees of the seven stars of "Running Man" listed in this list are roughly: Wang Xu 50 million to 60 million, Deng Chao 10 million to 15 million, baby 8 million to 10 million, Wang Baoqiang 7 million to 8 million, Li Chen and Chen He 6 million to 7 million, Zheng Kai 3 million to 4 million,

This valuation is worth more than 100 million yuan in the appearance fee of the seven stars in "Running Man". Such a large amount shocked the industry, especially Wang Xu's appearance fee alone is the sum of the other six stars, and the sum of the appearance fee of the four top mentors of "The Voice of China".

Has anyone questioned Wang Xu's inflated value? A program also specifically asked industry insiders to identify the authenticity. According to this person who has been coordinating artists for many years, this list of appearance fees is relatively reliable. But then some media reported that Wang Xu's appearance package fee was actually 80 million in the first season, Deng Chao's appearance fee was no less than 20 million. Angelababy, Wang Baoqiang, Li Chen, and Chen He's remuneration is also likely to exceed 10 million.

A reporter interviewed Running Man director Yu Hangying, and she said confidently: "Each of their value is there, and I can say that this is the highest in the same program."

Are the netizens’ revelations and the valuations of industry insiders too conservative?

The Running Man Team's appearance fee is over 100 million yuan, plus the production fee for each episode, some netizens estimate that the total production fee for the first season of "Running Man" is between 150 million and 200 million yuan. The production cost of a variety show is comparable to that of a big movie. This news is really terrible for the variety show industry in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Compared with the mainland "I Am a Singer" and a variety show like "The Voice of China" with a budget of 10 million yuan, the budget for each episode of "Kangxi is Coming" broadcast on daily broadcast is only 500,000 Taiwan dollars (about 100,000 yuan), a gap of up to a hundred times. This is already the talk show with the highest production budget in Taiwan *wan.

At this time, Wang Xu, who was at the forefront of public opinion, ignored the outside world's discussion. He had been in the company and spent a lot of time exercising in the sports equipment room. He adjusted his body to the best state for the runner, and played games when he was tired and read novels.

That morning, while he was running on a treadmill, an assistant received the latest box office data of "Moonlight Box". This was the 12 days after the film was released, with a total box office of 1.25 billion.

It is a foregone conclusion to break the box office myth created by oneself according to this calculation.

"A Chinese Odyssey" is the movie with the highest comedy achievements in Zhou Xingchi and the best comedy movie that the audience has evaluated in the past 30 years. After that, Zhou Xingchi himself did not surpass this achievement. Perhaps this is why Zhou Xingchi gradually chose to transform into a director.

Wang Xu has been thinking about the same problem these days. Now, after "A Chinese Odyssey", he has found it difficult to surpass the role of Supreme Treasure in his comedy achievements.

Of course, Zhou Xingchi still has many classic comedy movies that will continue to be released, but he will reduce the production of comedy movies, one movie a year or two, and he is already thinking about the issue of transformation.

In fact, the goal he pursued was not just comedy movies.

He still remembers that his first goal was to become famous and become an actor; this goal has been achieved with the help of "Unexpected" and "Let the Bullets Fly". The second goal is to become a 4 billion actor like him with Wang Bo as the goal. Wang Xu achieved and exceeded the goal through remakes and imitations of Zhou Xingchi's films.

Now he is even more famous than Wang Bo's peak period. In the film industry, he can already match ordinary superstars with Zhou Runfa, Jet Li, Jackie Chan, Tony Leung, Andy Lau, Ge You and others.

As of this, has Wang Xu reached the end of the road of actors? Of course not, even Chow Yun-fat and Jackie Chan are still working hard. Only when the fans have no expectations for you, or if you have no new goals for yourself, it means that your acting career can be over.

If possible, I believe that Zhou Xingchi also hopes that he is not just the king of comedy in the Chinese world, but the king of comedy that is well-known all over the world; if possible, Andy Lau also hopes that he is not just the immortal legend of the Chinese world, but the superstar who is well-known all over the world.

There is not only Chinese-language movies in the world. The world's highest box office record holder, "Avatar", is US$2.7 billion, equivalent to RMB 16.74 billion. I believe it is clear how big the gap is.

Wang Xu is only 25 years old this year. He can't say that I am a superstar now and choose to retire. He is a man in his seventies or eighties. He thinks this way without pursuit. Jackie Chan, Jet Li, and Zhou Runfa all chose to go to Hollywood at the peak of their acting career because they want to challenge themselves on the larger stage of Hollywood.

Wang Xu is also preparing to follow the teacher's footsteps. He has ambition that his movies not only want to be a big player in China, but also want to show them on the global stage. Of course, the times are different. Now he does not need to go to Hollywood alone like his teacher back then. It is so painful for the god of acting skills in the Chinese world to start a supporting role in Hollywood since he was a child.

Nowadays, the Chinese film market is the second largest ticket store in the world. In recent years, more and more Hollywood movies and Chinese films have cooperated with each other. The global collaboration model has become more and more mature, and there is no need to go to Hollywood alone.

So will Wang Xu still enter the international market with comedy movies? The answer is no. The reason is very simple. Lack of good scripts. Don’t look at "A Chinese Odyssey" and "Tang Bohu's Scent of Autumn" swept the domestic market. It would be good if he could get back $1 million in the box office when he was released in the North American market. The reason is very simple, and foreigners can't understand it.

This is why Wang Xu is thinking about transformation. Before China has become a global hegemon like the United States, Chinese films must consider the tastes of the whole world if they want to show off on the world stage. So far, there are two types of Chinese elements that are most promising to enter the world market. One is kung fu film, and the second is science fiction film.

Wang Xu could not transform into a kung fu star, so there was only one science fiction film, which was his third goal at the beginning, and wanted to move Qidian Chinese fantasy novels to the big screen.

We talk about fantasy by ourselves, but for foreigners, it is a type of science fiction movie.

Even if he has not entered the international market and can move the stories of gods, demons and ghosts he has seen to the big screen, this is also Wang Xu’s personal interests and love, just like he copied Zhou Xingchi’s movies in this space and time.

Before making this plan, Wang Xu's first consideration is to transform, get rid of comedians and return to an actor. In fact, participating in "Running Man" is also an opportunity for him to transform. The reality show is to show the real side of the star to the audience. He wants to show the different side of Wang Xu and the nonsensical actor in the movie to the audience, and to his fans and fans.

After her attention was settled, Wang Xu left the gym and happened to meet Chen Ruan. She came to inform her that she would go to Hangzhou three days later, and the seven Running Man teams gathered for the first time.

Three days later, Wang Xu arrived in Hangzhou. When he got off the plane's spiral ladder, he knew that not only did the Running Man start running, but his acting career also began to run on a new, unknown road.

The road ahead may be the Bangzhuang Avenue or the rugged mountain road with thorns.

[There is only one chapter today. Because I am not very satisfied with the plot design of Running Man, I deleted part of the code. I will think about it tonight.]

[The protagonist's movie later changed from comedy to other types of movies, and also began to move from domestic to foreign.]

[The process of going abroad must have faced some unexpected difficulties, and it is not as smooth as before. Many book friends actually realized that the plot of the first 600,000 words of this book has not had any ups and downs, that is, there are no contradictions and conflicts. If you read too many elements of relaxed humor, you will be tired, and I will be bored when I write it.

So it will be adjusted starting from the sixth volume.] (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
