Huayu: Starting from Fahrenheit

Chapter 267 Another Project of Emperor Entertainment Group, Rejected
While Wu Zhuo is busy with work, the outside world's enthusiasm for him has not diminished in the slightest.

The movie "Painted Skin" has been on the headlines of major film newspapers and magazines for many days in a row, attracting close attention from netizens.

"There are two movies I'm most looking forward to in 2008. One is Red Cliff and the other is Painted Skin."

“Although I am worried about whether Wu Zhuo can carry the film, I am still looking forward to it.

I heard that Wu Zhuo’s role in Painted Skin is very different from that in Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio. ”

“I only recently started paying attention to the matter between Wu Zhuo and Donnie Yen.

After understanding what happened, I found that Donnie Yen is really interesting.

He quit the crew, but ended up causing trouble for Wu Chao.

In the end, he made himself notorious..."

"Painted Skin" is extremely popular, and the ones who are most envious are undoubtedly Benny Chan and Emperor Entertainment Group.

Because "Keep Talking" was a step slow, "Painted Skin" took advantage of Wu Chao's popularity first.

This made Emperor Entertainment Group and Benny Chan very angry.

Therefore, not long after the launch conference of "Painted Skin", "Keep Talking" also immediately planned and held a large-scale launch conference.

The lineup for this press conference is really not small.

In addition to Wu Zhuo, Nick Cheung, Shu Qi and mainland film emperor Liu Ye.

Emperor Entertainment Group also invited English artists such as Nicholas Tse and Cecilia Cheung to support the event.

Even Jackie Chan specially recorded a VCR to congratulate the start of the film project.

Jackie Chan did not record the VCR to congratulate Wu Zhuo on the approval of the film project because of Wu Zhuo, but Emperor Entertainment Group itself has a very good relationship with Jackie Chan.

During the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s, Jackie Chan was always the top star of Golden Harvest.

After entering the new century, Golden Harvest's business shrank severely. In 2007, that is, last year, Golden Harvest became history and the company was acquired by Orange Sky Entertainment.

Jackie Chan, who was originally in the same team with Golden Harvest, reached a new cooperation with Emperor Entertainment Group a few years ago.

In recent years, most of Jackie Chan's films have been produced by Emperor Entertainment Group.

Therefore, it is only natural for Jackie Chan to step out to support Emperor Entertainment Group's "Keep Talking".

pity……

"Painted Skin" came before "Keep Talking".

That's how movies are. Whoever gets the first move has the advantage.

The popularity of "Painted Skin" has been completely hyped up and has become a project that the public is paying close attention to.

Although the opening ceremony of "Keep Talking" was grand, Wu Chao was still there.

But in terms of popularity, it is still greatly suppressed by "Painted Skin".

In fact, most of the investment companies of "Keep Talking" are Hong Kong and Taiwan companies.

This means that the drama did not receive much exposure in the mainland.

In the end, this movie was a big splash but little success, and only gained considerable popularity in Hong Kong and Taiwan, while few people knew about it in mainland China.

For this purpose, Emperor Entertainment Group specially found Wu Chao and asked him to help promote the film when he was doing activities in the mainland.

"Abel, we all know that your appeal in the mainland is unmatched.

If we want our project to make a difference in the mainland, it is obviously impossible to rely on Liu Ye.

His own fame was just that.

Therefore, I can only ask you to mention "Keep Talking" more often when you attend events in the mainland."

This is the benefit of being a top star.

Even capitalists will hold you in their hands when facing you.

Compared to "Painted Skin".

The drama "Keep Talking" obviously relies more on Wu Chao.

Although several actors in the "Painted Skin" project are TV actors, their popularity in the mainland is there after all!
Among them are actors like Zhao Wei, who is almost a household name.

As for "Keep Talking".

To be honest, among the actors in this series, only Shu Qi is relatively well-known.

Other actors.

Nick Cheung, at this time he was not yet the future movie emperor.

Although he debuted early, his popularity in mainland China was actually quite average at that time.

Liu Ye's words...

Not to mention now, even in the future era of short videos, his popularity will be average.

However, when it comes to acting, the actors in the "Keep Talking" crew are obviously better.

But box office is not necessarily completely linked to acting skills.

Especially in recent years, the audience did not have the same respect for the so-called acting skills as they do in the future.

This period is actually the real era of traffic.

Whoever is popular and well-known can carry the box office.

Of course, you have to have the resources.

As for popularity, many TV drama actors in mainland China are very popular now.

Like Hu Ge from Tangren.

That is really the new era of red.

Dramas such as "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and "The Fairy from the Other World" have attracted a large number of fans for him.

It’s a pity that Tangren has no resources in the film industry. Otherwise, with Hu Ge’s popularity, if he acted in a movie, it would be possible for him to achieve very good box office results.

However, it is worth mentioning that the fans of TV drama actors are actually not very sticky.

TV actors are not like singers.

Don’t be fooled by the actors in TV dramas as if many people across the country have watched their TV dramas.

But there are very few people who are really willing to pay for them.

Singers are different.

The singer's fans are very loyal.

That's someone who is really willing to spend real money to support.

This is also an important factor why it is easier for singers to transform into movie actors than TV actors in recent years.

As for why there are so few singers transforming in the future.

This is actually easy to explain.

Mainly due to the demise of the physical record industry, most singers in later generations are free singers.

Even though their songs are incredibly popular, just like the actors in TV dramas, very few people are willing to support them with real money.

On the contrary, it is easier for those traffic stars to enter the film industry.

Because their die-hard fans are the ones who are willing to spend money.

Back to the topic.

It is precisely because Wu Zhuo’s appeal is more needed than in Painted Skin that Emperor Entertainment Group pays more attention to Wu Zhuo.

Emperor Entertainment Group really values ​​Wu Zhuo.

In order to recruit Wu Zhuo.

Emperor Entertainment Group even gave a drama that was originally planned to have Nicholas Tse play the leading role to Wu Cheuk.

The play is called "Witness".

To be honest, Wu Zhuo likes this project very much.

If this script had been put in front of him earlier along with Keep Talking, he would have definitely chosen Witness.

But now!

He really didn't have time this year.

If he takes on more acting jobs, he will be exhausted to death.

In the end, he could only refuse with regret.

However, he did agree to help promote "Keep Talking".

This is not a difficult thing.

He himself starred in the play, and helping to promote it was his job.

of course.

He doesn't care whether the publicity is effective or not.

He cannot guarantee the effectiveness of the publicity.

Just like his own fame before.

The company invested a lot of money in publicity, but its fame was always increasing very slowly.

But he was listed as one of the top ten influential figures on Baidu's list, which immediately made him take off. He became inexplicably popular all over the country and his popularity was even higher than Jay Chou.
