Stars are all cheap. Today, if they are famous, they can get paid millions of dollars for a movie. If they become famous tomorrow, they will be worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and no one may be willing to hire them.

Many celebrities develop the habit of squandering when they are popular. When they become popular, they cannot change their habits for a while, and they continue to spend money according to their habits when they were popular, which will naturally lead to huge losses.

Many Hollywood stars, music stars, NBA stars, and boxing champions went bankrupt because of this.

The same is actually true for Johnny Depp. Although he has not yet faded, but for starring in new films such as "Sweeney Todd", "Public Enemies" and "Public Enemies", the salary will never be as high as that of his starring role in "Pirates of the Caribbean".

》 series is so high.

Because the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series can do without anyone, but Captain Jack Sparrow cannot be missing, so he can ask for a high salary. It is not uncommon for a movie to take away one or two billion US dollars.

But movies like "Sweeney Todd" and "Public Enemies" don't have to use him. Naturally, he can't ask for the salary. He can get a salary of 20 to 30 million US dollars, which is considered high, and it may even drop.

It is also very possible to take on roles with a salary, so the income will drop significantly.

But he usually spends money according to the standards when filming "Pirates of the Caribbean", so naturally he cannot make ends meet.

Therefore, in order to avoid his own financial crisis, he took over the filming of "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" and also signed a contract with Universal for three new films in the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series.

…

"Pirates of the Caribbean 4" was released, but its reputation was not as good as the first three films.

After all, after watching the first three movies, the audience's appetite has been whetted. Especially at the end of "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", where the nine pirate kings fight against the British navy, the momentum, scenes, and sense of history have all been satiated.

And "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" is just about searching for the Fountain of Youth. Compared with the grand themes of the first three films, it is just a side story, and the response is naturally not that good.

However, even so, the return of Captain Jack Sparrow still made movie fans overjoyed. Therefore, in the end, "Pirates of the Caribbean 4" had a box office of 230 million US dollars in North America and more than 1 billion US dollars in global box office.

Such good box office results prove that Captain Jack Sparrow can still play. Therefore, Universal Pictures immediately arranged "Pirates of the Caribbean 5".

…

One year, one month.

Xiang Nan has finalized the production plan for the new year.

"The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn (Part 1 and 2)", "The Incredible Hulk", "Game of Thrones", "Morbius", "The Hangover Part 2", "Taken", "Horrible Bosses" and "

Men in Black 3".

"The Twilight Saga 4" continues to tell the love story of Bella and Edward; in "The Gambler 2" Gambit will seek help from Mr. Sinister and restart the timeline of the

The nonsense life; Agent J in "Men in Black 3" will travel back to the past to save the world.

The vampire Morbius is a member of Marvel's Midnight Sons superhero team. He was originally a genius doctor, but unfortunately he suffered from a rare blood disease.

In order to cure his illness, he used vampire bats for treatment. Although the blood disease was cured, the side effects also made him a person who needs to constantly suck blood, so he called himself a vampire and joined the Midnight Sons team.

He has many abilities such as flying, rapid healing, radar, sound waves, etc. In other words, he is the real [Batman].

This character is actually very charming. On the one hand, he is extremely talented. In order to cure a blood disease, he was forced to become a vampire, which is very tragic.

On the one hand, although he is a vampire, he is unwilling to hurt others and drinks the artificial blood he made. He is also willing to fight evil and help those in need. From this point of view, he is also a hero.

So this character is actually very rare. He lives in darkness and yearns for light. He is in a similar situation to anti-heroes such as Ghost Rider, Blade, and Punisher. That's why the team Midnight's Sons was formed.

The Marvel Midnight Sons cinematic universe is different from the X-Men cinematic universe, the Spider-Man cinematic universe and the Avengers cinematic universe. This cinematic universe is all anti-hero movies, and it is a world composed of magic and science.

Darker, crueler, more ruthless, and more bloodthirsty, the movies produced are at least PG13 level. This type of comic book movie can bring a different viewing experience to the audience. For other Marvel movies,

It is also an effective supplement.

"Bad Boss" tells the story of three unlucky men in the workplace who were cheated by an unscrupulous boss and decided to find ways to get revenge on the boss.

Encountering trouble in the workplace is unavoidable for every working person. Especially oppression and bullying from bosses are unavoidable and extremely painful.

Therefore, fighting back against unscrupulous bosses is the aspiration of every wage earner. Therefore, the comedy "Bad Boss" must have a future.

"Hurricane Rescue" tells the story of a retired agent who resolutely went to a foreign country to rescue his daughter after her daughter was kidnapped.

The original version starred Liam Neeson, and three films were made in a row. Each film received a good box office and received good reviews. Therefore, it was praised by movie fans and even formed a hot meme called "Hollywood Three Don't Touch".

If you don’t touch Keanu Reeves’s dog, he wiped out the entire Russian gang because of a dog gang in the “John Wick” series; if you don’t touch Jason Statham’s express delivery, he did it in “The John Wick” series.

In "Shi Express", you play the role of a courier. In order to deliver the express to the designated place on time, it is simply a matter of God blocking God and Buddha blocking Buddha.

The last one is Liam Neeson's daughter. In the "Taken" series, he also went on a killing spree to save his daughter, which is unrivaled.

Xiang Nan knew that this movie was wonderful, so he decided to make it.

…

In January, Xiang Nan and Cong Shan went home to visit their parents. After the Spring Festival, they returned to Hollywood.

While in the Mainland, Xiang Nan interviewed some mainland female artists for "Hurricane Rescue".

However, what disappoints him is that although there are many female stars born in the 1990s, there are only a few who have good acting skills and can show off.

On the one hand, with the massive influx of capital in the mainland entertainment industry, artists become popular earlier and earlier. Before they have mastered enough acting skills, they have already become popular under the operation of capital. After they become popular, they are busy trying to find their acupoints.

When you earn money through acting endorsements, you don't have time to focus on your acting skills.

On the one hand, with the influx of capital, there is also the phenomenon of bad money driving out good money. Capital can buy ratings and popularity, creating the illusion that dramas and movies are popular, causing a large number of bad movies and dramas to occupy the market.

As for truly good dramas, they spend all their money on production and have no money for marketing and hype. Therefore, they cannot compete with those bad movies and dramas. As time goes by, bad dramas and dramas will naturally become popular. Artists will always act in bad movies and dramas.
