When the Marvel Universe began, we also tried to choose second- and third-tier artists to perform.

For example, Robert Downey Jr., who had just crawled out of the quagmire of poison crystals before filming "Iron Man", was in the low point of his career, so when he was asked to film the first "Iron Man", his salary was not high, and he was even worse than Terrence Howard, who played Colonel Roddy.

Chris Evans, who plays Captain America, was just a second-tier Hollywood actor before starring in "Captain America". Although he has starred in a superhero masterpiece like "Fantasy Four", "Fantasy Four 2" did not achieve an ideal box office, so his box office appeal has been questioned.

In addition, Chris Hemsworth, who plays Thor, Paul Luther, who plays Ant-Man, Chris Pratt, who plays Star Lord, etc., are just second- and third-tier characters in Hollywood.

Even Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays Doctor Strange, is well-known worldwide for his role in "Detective Sherlock", to be honest, there is always a gap between TV stars and movie stars. Moreover, British actors are synonymous with "low price and good quality" in Hollywood.

The reason why Marvel Universe has to choose second- and third-tier artists instead of first-tier artists to perform.

First, for the sake of cost saving, second- and third-tier artists usually only earn hundreds of thousands of dollars when they first star in superhero movies.

Like Gale Gado, who starred in "Wonder Woman", the first film was only 300,000 US dollars. In comparison, "Iron Man" once considered Tom Cruise and was even willing to cancel the steel mask for him. Tom Cruise's salary was 20 million US dollars, and he had to take away a large amount of box office share. The dividend was 300,000 to 20 million US dollars, and the salary was 100 times different.

Moreover, superhero movies are not made one or two, but have to make many movies. The rules of Hollywood, if you shoot sequels, the pay will definitely increase. Big-name stars will pay a lot of money in the first movie. If you shoot sequels again, the pay will be too high. It is possible to take 100 million US dollars for a movie.

In this way, the producers will suffer heavy losses. So they would rather use second- and third-tier stars. In this way, even if the film pay rises in the future, they can support it.

Second, the aura of a first-line star is too strong, which will easily steal the limelight from the character.

For example, the Ghost Rider played by Nicholas Cage is not too bad in its own movie, but because it is starring Oscar-filmed Cage, it invisibly bears more pressure. It also makes a superhero movie that is already reasonable and becomes a bad movie that everyone despises.

Furthermore, if you invite big-name stars to play, the plot and roles will inevitably shift to the stars, which may affect the plot. For example, Tom Cruise was going to film "Iron Man" back then, but he didn't want to wear the Iron Man mask. If he really asked him to play, then what people saw might be another kind of Iron Man.

...

The reason why summer asked Wang Jing to give priority to newcomers is not because of the pay issue.

To be honest, because Tianxia Entertainment almost monopolizes East Asia's entertainment industry, he basically has the final say in the film pay of celebrities and will not be too high.

Even first-line male stars such as Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa, Liang Chaowei, Liu Qingyun, and Zhou Xingchi, their pay is only about HK$1.5 million. With the box office dividend, it can only reach 20 to 3 million.

The reason why he asked Wang Jing to select newcomers was mainly to cultivate newcomers.

The Hong Kong film industry is still the leader of veteran stars, Cheng Long, Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua and others have been famous for 10 or 20 years. More than ten years ago, they were on the front line, but now they are still on the front line.

This situation is unhealthy. You should know that Hollywood's first-tier stars basically change generations in five years. After five years, they either successfully hone their acting skills and become acting skills, and continue to shine; or they are short-lived idols, which are useless if they are out of date.

It can be said that there are very few people who have always played the leading role and remained firmly in the front line like Liu Dehua, Zhou Runfa, and Cheng Long.

Even first-line male stars like Johnny Depp, Will Smith, Schwarzenegger, and Stallone who once dominated Hollywood would inevitably have time to go out of date.

Therefore, summer hopes to break the unhealthy situation in the Hong Kong entertainment industry and cultivate more newcomers so that the vitality of Hong Kong movies can be maintained, rather than just allowing old faces to support the scene.

"For newcomer, Mr. Xia, I think Zheng Yijian is pretty good. The young man is very handsome and obedient." Wang Jing smiled.

In 1980, Zheng Yijian made his debut in the fourth original song competition held by ATV, but he only released a record with other singers, and was seconded to ATV for filming. The TV series that has been filmed for three or four years has been lukewarm and is not too popular among the many male artists at ATV.

But somehow, Wang Jing's eyes fell into Wang Jing's eyes and asked him to make several movies. However, these movies did not make Zheng Yijian famous.

Many people even advised Wang Jing that Zheng Yijian had no life at all, and advised him not to waste his energy.

However, Wang Jing seems easy-going, but in fact he is quite proud at heart. No one else is optimistic about Zheng Yijian and doesn't think he will be famous, so Wang Jing insists on making him famous.

This time when filming "The Demonic", he thought the same as Xia Tian, ​​and he also wanted to invite newcomers to film. And Zheng Yijian is the "Chen Haonan" in his mind.

"Well, Zheng Yijian is indeed very handsome and suitable for playing Chen Haonan." Xia Tian nodded, "But who are you planning to play the 'pheasant'?"

The movie version of the pheasant was played by Chen Xiaochun, which also made Chen Xiaochun famous. Even many years later, the name of "pheasant" still accompanied him.

However, if the movie is adapted from the comic version, it would be a bit inappropriate to play the cheess. Because the prototype of the comic version of the cheess is actually Liang Chaowei, that is, he is a handsome guy, and Chen Xiaochun is a little sorry for her appearance.

If we follow the "Bewitching Universe", Shan Ji and Chen Haonan will be the configuration of two heroes. Chen Haonan goes from Bewitching Universe to Hongxing, Shan Ji goes from Bewitching Universe to the Viper Snake Gang, and finally, the original loyal brothers have a duel, ending the entire "Bewitching Universe".

In this case, if Chen Xiaochun plays the croaker, it will not form the momentum of a showdown between the two heroes. Chen Xiaochun is really weak compared to Zheng Yijian.

In Xiatian's opinion, Gu Tianfeng is still almost the same.

"Mr. Xia, I originally wanted to invite Chen Xiaochun to play it. But if you say that the main character wants to make independent films, I think he can't bear a movie. I think you'd better make an idea." Wang Jing also said.

In his opinion, Chen Xiaochun can also be a supporting role, but he will not be able to play the protagonist.
