Chapter 065 If this performance is bad, I'll be nailed to the pillar of shame.
November 10, 1991, Skyworth headquarters.
Su Nan was working when she heard a knock on the door, and then Rosamund Kwan led Vivian Chow in.
Sister Guan smiled sweetly, "Brother Nan, Amin said that thanks to our help, she was able to play the second female lead in (The Tricky Master) (Eavesdropping on Women's Hearts)."
"Her contracts for TV dramas and hosting are still with TVB, and she needs TVB's support to even get a role in an anniversary drama."
"However, we also reached an agreement with them. The film contract is similar to Stephen Chow's universal contract, which means Skyworth can provide 20 films and pay whatever they want."
"From now on, no matter who asks Amin to make a movie, they have to talk to us first."
Li Xiuxian is doing well as a sub-landlord, and Skyworth can also be Amin's landlord.
Amin laughed and said, "Brother Nan, if I join Skyworth, could I also compete for the third female lead role in (Dynasty Warriors)?"
"I wouldn't mind being paid tens of thousands more for a role."
Only after signing a contract will you have a chance to compete with Li Jiaxin for the role of the policewoman.
She doesn't mind Skyworth paying her below-market rates or taking a large commission every time.
It's rare to find a script that Hollywood buys and snatches up; having a major project as a representative work is a rare privilege.
Other commercial value will gradually increase later.
Su Nan was speechless. "Aren't you afraid we'll rip you off? Like when Lao Wu ripped off Zhang Guorong back then."
Zhou Huimin exclaimed "Ah!" and it took her several seconds to understand what she meant.
She blushed slightly and muttered, "Director Su, you wouldn't be so willing to part with that, would you?"
She can make a lot of money if she manages her innocent image well; it's such a waste for you to go to those erotic channels.
In ancient China, the scholar-official class could give concubines, but she felt that Su Nan was not that kind of person.
He probably isn't that generous to his fans and audiences.
Su Nan chuckled, "Alright, let's sign a contract for 20 books first."
Without even discussing the price, they've already secured 20 units, and Amin is about to land a big role as Ruan Mei in (The Great Era).
Before the broadcast of "The Greed of Man," she really couldn't follow Li Jiaxin's example and completely break up with Fang Yihua.
Fang Yihua's side doesn't mind these kinds of movie offers, firstly because actresses at the same time don't have the same appeal as male stars.
Secondly, there's the series of works written by Su Nan, directed by Hung Kin-po.
It must have given the other party quite a shock. If Amin's popularity in the film industry continues to rise, it can also have a ripple effect.
When it comes to television hosting contracts and then to actor salaries, things change, and TVB will win.
Has he gone through a series of films similar to Stephen Chow? Does he still have television drama contracts with TVB?
Going back to filming TV dramas would undoubtedly boost viewership ratings beyond my wildest dreams.
After discussing this, Rosamund Kwan asked curiously, "Did they say in the 20th century that they would cast anyone as the male lead or second male lead in 'Project Gutenberg'?"
"After some of the news spread, many actors became interested in (the role of Wu Shuang)."
"Ah Rong asked someone to contact me so I could compete for the role of the fourth male lead, the policeman."
This refers to the male police officer character in the script.
In the drama "Peerless", the third female lead is also the policewoman that Li Jiaxin and Amin want to compete for, and she is paired with a male police officer.
Zhang Guorong's acting skills are undoubtedly excellent; they're about to film "Farewell My Concubine."
Su Nan laughed, "In the 20th century, we wanted to use Al Pacino or Robert De Niro as the second male lead."
"It's a shame that Robert (Good Guy) didn't get an Oscar nomination for Best Actor."
"Nicolas Cage or Tom Cruise should try for the lead role."
"However, it's still uncertain whether Tom's acting skills are up to par, but Cage should be fine."
Cage played a part in getting the project noticed by 20th Century Business Herald and Warner Bros. so quickly.
Last year, the film she starred in, Wild Heart, not only won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, but also received an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.
The fact that Cage himself wasn't nominated is enough to show that his acting skills won't drag down the award-winning film.
When Su Nan struck up a conversation with him on set, they discussed the script's outline of two male leads.
Cage was unusually interested in the character "Li Wen," though of course the English version doesn't call him Li Wen.
This kind of probability of winning an award can be manipulated in the 20th century by familiarizing oneself with the Oscar formula.
It's standard practice for big stars to lower their fees. In 1995, Cage lowered his fee to one-tenth of what it was for a film in order to win an Oscar.
Tom Cruise has also won a Golden Globe Award for Best Actor. Is he a good fit for the role of Li Wen?
All I can say is that I've experienced movies like Rain Man (Born on the Fourth of July).
Tom Cruise is a good actor, but using him is mainly more conducive to publicity than using Cage!
Al Pacino, needless to say, has been nominated for Golden Globe and Oscar for Best Actor multiple times.
He didn't win the Golden Globe and Academy Award for Best Actor until 93 for "Scent of a Woman".
Whether it's the Chinese version or the American version (Dynasty Warriors), if it's well-made, it'll be a box office and award winner.
Just imagine how many times Leonardo DiCaprio will go to extremes for an Oscar in the future.
You can imagine how attractive this kind of production would be to actors and stars once it starts.
Rosamund Kwan and Ah-min both gasped in surprise. Kwan exclaimed excitedly, "If the lineup is really confirmed..."
"I estimate that Wan Ziliang and Brother Jia Hui must be at 180% fighting spirit."
"It would be hilarious if we got completely outmatched by those people in terms of acting skills."
Regardless of whether European and American audiences will appreciate the Chinese version of the film in the future.
As long as the high box office of the Japanese version (Dynasty Warriors) is used as a promotional gimmick throughout Asia.
Even if countless movie fans don't go to the cinema to buy tickets to see the American version, they will still watch the videotapes to make comparisons!
There's no need to ask further; the male celebrities who invite big names are bound to be equally outstanding, and the female celebrities are certainly no less so.
Rosamund Kwan felt a chill run down her spine, and so did Ah Min; if you act badly, you'll be nailed to the pillar of shame.
Rosamund Kwan took a big gulp of water and laughed awkwardly, "If my acting is terrible when filming starts, it would be better to let Sister Qingxia or Cherie Chung play the female lead, and I'll be the second female lead."
Zhou Huimin is confused. With your ranking like this, what is she supposed to do? Play a minor role? That's not impossible.
There's a female supporting character in the fake knife-making team in the script.
Su Nan laughed and said, "If you can play the role of Aunt Thirteen in the Wong Fei-hung series well, and you delve into it for a while, you'll have the ability to keep the lead role."
"Amin, your acting skills are far superior to Li Jiaxin's."
Judging from Xu Ke's enormous ambitions for the (Once Upon a Time in China) series.
If Sister Guan's acting is bad, Lao Xu will definitely replace her. That production team has already been a test of acting skills.
Zhou Huimin's portrayal of Ruan Mei in "The Greed of Man" is a classic of its time, and she has a solid foundation in the genre.
Amin nodded, "News travels incredibly fast in the industry these days. Even Brother Qiu from the upcoming anniversary drama (The Greed of Man) asked me for news."
"US$20 is equal to HK$156."
"Selling a script for such a high price has shocked many people in the industry."
The first film set that Nan Ge from Shixiawei visited (Through Thick and Thin) was almost finished filming, but there was still no complete script!
Drinking tea in southern Jiangsu, "The 20th century launched (Dynasty Warriors), and from preparation to filming, it took at most three to five months."
"We'll take about the same amount of time, so you all need to work hard."
Whether it was released around May Day in 92 or during the summer season.
There is still ample time left for Rosamund Kwan, Ah Hong, and Vivian Chow to learn and improve.
Even at its worst, this movie still grossed forty to fifty million US dollars in the US and garnered major award nominations.
Then it will become a cult classic in R-rated crime, just like (Goodness).
It became the "coolest blockbuster" in some small circles!
Amin's film contract is with Skyworth, so there's no need for her to participate in some ordinary, bad films like "The Sword and the Goddess" and "The Passionate Son-in-Law".
From 91 to 92, all she had to do was prepare for (Dynasty Warriors) (The Great Era).
