Everyone remembers the nation's blood boiling when "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, and the 150 million film eventually cut 5.62 billion at the box office, making those stars who once looked down on it regret it.
When filming first began, director Wu Jing encountered financial difficulties. In order to smoothly put the script polished for 7 years on the big screen, Wu Jing begged for people everywhere, and during the period, he also encountered the original actor sitting on the ground and falling into the stone. Among them is the original heroine candidate, Xu Jiawen.
When Wu Jing took the 80 million yuan raised from the sale of houses and cars to prepare for the auction, Xu Jiawen suddenly asked for a price increase. Wu Jing was helpless, responding that the money had to be spent on the tip of the knife, and kicked Xu Jiawen out of the crew. Later, everyone knew that Lu Jingshan became the heroine of "Wolf Warrior 2".
Before that, Lu Jingshan and Wu Jing had actually known each other for nearly 10 years, and her first work was "Wolf's Tooth" with Wu Jing. When Wu Jing invited Lu Jingshan to save the scene, Lu Jingshan did not ask about the remuneration or the position of the role, but only asked two questions: "Is there any scene to be taken off?" If there are more than two days of vacation, can I go home to see my mother? ”
Then, Lu Jingshan's assistant did not bring it, and he flew to Africa to join the crew of "Wolf Warrior 2". In this explosive action blockbuster, many scenes actually have a certain danger. But Lu Jingshan is very able to endure hardships, and does not put up shelves or be arrogant.
In fact, don't look at Lu Jingshan before in the country seems not to be hot, in fact, she has been taking the international route, not only with Tom Cruise, Nicole Kidman, Brad Pitt belongs to the same American CAA agency, but also participated in the popular American drama "Green Arrow" in 2012.
Lu Jingshan's righteousness and dedication made her popular overnight in China. On the other hand, Xu Jiawen, after missing "Wolf Warrior 2", can only play a mixed-race prostitute with only one line in "Eight Hundred", which is really regrettable.
In fact, there is another actor in "Wolf Warrior" who also experienced "changing roles", the difference is that he took over after others were kicked out. This actor is Wu Jing, and the one who was kicked out is Wang Baoqiang.
When filming the movie "West Wind Lie", the crew originally wanted to find Wang Baoqiang to star, but the price offered by Wang Baoqiang was too high, and the crew had to find Wu Jing. Afterwards, Wang Baoqiang said in an interview that it was not because of the film remuneration that he did not appear in "West Wind Lie", but he did not specify the reason for the resignation, and the ambiguous attitude was even more imaginative.
And later the director said a meaningful sentence in an interview: "Whether an actor can finally become the best or first-class, is mainly your character rather than your acting skills." "It makes the public even more confused."
If it is more normal for newcomers to miss good films with too high vision, some stars are self-inflated after becoming famous, and there is a "fake" rise.
In 2015, Cecilia Cheung was revealed to have been replaced one after another because of the starting price of sitting on the ground. After the "Star Wish" fire, director Ma Chucheng intended to shoot a sequel, and the heroine also locked in the main actor cecilia Cheung of the first part.
At that time, Cecilia Cheung was not the same, she was already the most promising newcomer to the 22nd Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs, and became the first Chinese actress to be shortlisted for one of the three major film festivals in South Korea with "Bai Lan", and after winning the 23rd Hong Kong Film Awards in 2004 with her wonderful performance in "Can't Forget", she was still one of the most popular actresses in Hong Kong despite the turmoil.
In 2015, China Star invested hundreds of millions of dollars to shoot the "3D List of Gods", inviting Cecilia Cheung to play a role in Nezha. Xiang Huaqiang said in an interview that Cecilia Cheung was abnormal and his neuroticism had intensified, and decided to change his role, and also threatened to "never hire"! You know, Xiang Tai Chen Lan has always loved Cecilia Cheung quite a bit, treating her as her own daughter, and it is not expected that this time even Chen Lan has a dead heart for Cecilia Cheung.
At this time, Zhuge Ziqi and Ma Chucheng reached out to help, and the heroine of the new film "Eleven Days and One Night of Star Wish" was still originally scheduled to Cecilia Cheung, but before signing the contract, things changed again.
It is rumored that Cecilia Cheung signed the film's salary was originally as high as 7.83 million yuan, although it is already very expensive, but Ma Chucheng insisted on using Cecilia Cheung, who knew that cecilia Cheung repented before signing the contract, asked for another nearly 4 million yuan in remuneration, and also asked to change the filming location to Singapore, so that she could take care of her 2 sons.
This move completely angered investors, and Cecilia Cheung was once again abandoned. Ma Chucheng was asked whether he was scared away by Cecilia Cheung's contract conditions, he said: "I don't like to fall into the well, I will definitely start filming the sequel to "Star Wish", the heroine has considered many people, but everything has not been implemented, this year should not be decided." ”
Looking at Cecilia Cheung's resume over the years, there is indeed no representative work after 2015. Now appearing in "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves 2" is still the topic of the year, if you are calmer, you may also go to the peak on the road of actors, but unfortunately there is no if.
Li Fei'er, who is also riding the wind and waves, claims to have never been red, may also reflect on it, if it is not a price increase on the ground, why is this?
In "Rizhao Chongqing", Li Fei'er also had a wonderful performance, at the Cannes Film Festival that year, Li Fei'er not only walked the red carpet in a dashing manner, but also received high praise from director Wang Xiaoshuai, comparing her to an actress of the "Sophie Marceau" type, plus the scandal with Huang Xiaoming and Yang Ying, which was once popular.
With the increasing exposure rate, Li Fei'er has several consecutive plays are female number one, not only the salary is bullish, but also the various special requirements on the set are also close to the first-line big names, and the "big head disease" is also committed to the head of the mentor Wang Xiaoshuai.
Originally, Wang Xiaoshuai's "My Eleven" also belonged to Li Fei'er, but the price offered by Li Fei'er was several times higher than when filming "Rizhao Chongqing". Wang Xiaoshuai is not so good at kneading, and in one breath, he not only cut off Li Fei'er's opportunity to star in "My Eleven", but also deleted a lot of her role in "Rizhao Chongqing", directly from the female number one to the dragon set, in addition to prohibiting Li Fei'er from participating in all the publicity activities of "Rizhao Chongqing", and the name on the poster was also ranked last.
Not a big name, self-severing meridians, Li Fei'er's wave of operations now seems to make A cat full of question marks. It can be seen that the starting price of sitting on the ground very much affects the actor to create a new peak, because it is easy to miss some good opportunities. Our Yan Wang Sun Honglei has suffered this "loss".
There are many classic roles in Sun Honglei's acting career, from the first electrocution in "My Father and Mother" as the nameless "I", to "Alai" in "Like Fog Like Rain and Like Wind", Guan Jun in "Halfway Couple", Qiu Rubai in "Mei Lanfang", and then Yu Zecheng in "Latent"... Each role is different, but Sun Honglei has done a good job without exception.
The film version of the "White Deer Plain" crew was also very optimistic about Sun Honglei at the beginning, and regarded him as the best candidate to play Heiwa. For this role, Sun Honglei is also very yearning, but when negotiating the price, the daily salary of 200,000 yuan has scared the crew not lightly, and he has also issued an additional condition, that is, there is only one month of shooting schedule.
The original shooting cycle of the "White Deer Plain" crew was one year, but the actual shooting took 3 years. In order to ensure the quality of the entire film and endure the pain of abandoning Sun Honglei, heiwa's role was finally handed over to Duan Yihong.
It is said that the original author Chen Zhongzhong once visited the class to shoot in order to meet a "black baby", and he saw Duan Yihong's next sentence "You play a black baby", which made Duan Yihong excited, and Chen Zhongzhong also sent a message of "learning to be a good person" to Duan Yihong.
Soon after Sun Honglei, who lost the "black baby", was exposed to have a daily salary increased to 250,000... Isn't it, are actors really that profitable? No wonder Zhang Ziyi said that now everyone wants to come and share a piece of the pie.
Also because of the increase in the price of the land, Zheng Jiaying was also replaced.
When she became popular with the role of The Eight Brothers in "Step by Step", Zheng Jiaying has been debuting for 18 years, which can be called "salted fish turning over". That year, he first became the "Emperor of Three Materials" with "Streets of Rage", and then because of the popularity of "Step by Step", he won wireless praise, and the following year he signed a contract to become an artist of Emperor Entertainment.
During this time, Zheng Jiaying's salary has also soared, first to 160,000 episodes, and then to 250,000 yuan an episode when filming "Streets of Rage 2", which is staggering.
Later, when Shanghai Tangren planned to launch the sequel to "Step by Step", they gathered the original team, but the remuneration proposed by Zheng Jiaying directly increased to 3 times the original, and for a time there was a rumor that Zheng Jiaying was ungrateful. Forced by financial pressure, the crew could only abandon Zheng Jiaying and chose Sun Yizhou in "Love Apartment".
Speaking of ungratefulness, I have to mention the storm when Zhou Runfa "played a big card" was changed by the "Chibi" crew. "Chibi" director Wu Yusen and Zhou Runfa have cooperated in "The True Colors of Heroes", one got rid of the depreciation of the director, and the other took off the hat of "box office poison", and it is reasonable to say that the cooperation again should be a beautiful talk.
However, just the day before the start of filming, Zhou Runfa suddenly resigned, caught Wu Yusen off guard, and finally invited Liang Chaowei to play Zhou Yu to save the scene.
It turned out that "Chibi" was divided into two parts, and the remuneration given to Zhou Runfa was 5 million US dollars, equivalent to about 40 million yuan, far higher than the remuneration for taking over the filming of "The Golden Armor in the City", plus the dividends at the box office, which was already a high price.
However, Zhou Runfa felt that making two films with such a salary was self-reducing, not only requiring a one-time payment of 40 million film remuneration, but also proposing more than 100 conditions, and the contract compiled according to these conditions was more than 50 pages long. After the film remuneration controversy was exposed, Zhou Runfa also released the remarks that he only got the script 10 days before the start of filming, but was refuted by the producer Zhang Zhenhui that he had sent the script to the other party as early as two years ago.
The punch came so quickly that Zhou Runfa had to apologize, and this incident also had a certain impact on Zhou Runfa's image. I have to say that Fa Goghor is highly respected, and there are also times when the line is wrong.
However, compared with Yang Shuo's film remuneration storm, these are small witches and big witches.
After becoming popular with the small package sum in "Ode to Joy" and The Great River of Lei Dongbao, Yang Shuo was not popular, and it was exposed that the film remuneration for filming "Stranger" was as high as 87.5 million, with an average unit price of about 1.99 million yuan per episode.
At that time, it coincided with the release of the salary restriction order, which mentioned that the total remuneration of all actors in each TV series network drama should not exceed 40% of the total production cost, of which the main actors should not exceed 70% of the total film remuneration. So the producer proposed to re-communicate with Yang Shuo for the film, but Yang Shuo was not satisfied with this practice, and he directly called off, resulting in the shutdown of the "Stranger" crew for up to 4 months.
