Chapter 864 You have a good eye! (14)
The Asian box office of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" should be 2.05 million US dollars, of which the mainland box office is 1.71 million US dollars, which means that other parts of Asia contributed more than 2500 million US dollars!
3 million RMB buyout, a profit!
Almost made half of it.
Of course, before this movie is released, no one can guarantee the box office~
Otherwise, it is impossible for Stephen Chow not to sign a publishing contract with Huayi...
According to the supplementary contract for the lawsuit, the box office exceeds [-] million, and Zhou Xingchi gets a dividend...
Of course, the two sides have different definitions of [-] million. Zhou Xingchifang believes that if the box office exceeds [-] million, there will be dividends, while Huayi says that the box office revenue is [-] million...
In fact, as long as Huayi admits that there is 5 million data, anyone who knows how to do it will know that Huayi wants to renege on the debt...
The box office revenue is 15 million. What is the concept? The box office is [-] billion...
There's no way this thing is possible...
However, now, Zhong Lifang proposed a 3 million buyout...
What concept?
Zhou Xing and Chi Fang earned 1.87 million!
Oh, "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" cost 1.13 million...
The later "Mermaid" and "Fighting the Demon" are premium investments...
Shen Xudong was a little speechless: "3 million is not enough? Still want to share dividends? What kind of dividends?"
"...he likes money..."
"You tell Zhong Lifang, either buy it out for 3 million, or let him find the issuer by himself. We don't have time to play with him!"
Chen Xi nodded: "Okay, I understand..."
Shen Xudong 'hmm' for a while, and continued to read the script, Chen Xi leaned over: "Is this "Detective Chinatown 2"?"
"right…"
"You directed it yourself?"
"It depends on the situation. If there is a suitable director, I will hand it over to him. I will be the producer..."
"...Then do you have a director plan for a new film?"
"Not yet... why are you asking this?"
Chen Xi explained: "I was on the phone with Da Tiantian two days ago, she asked..."
Shen Xudong asked: "Isn't Tiantian's partner Donnie Yen starring in "Special Identity"?"
"...she wants to play the part she can play..."
"Then let's act in a TV series... Find her an ancient puppet..."
"It's okay..." Chen Xi nodded, and then remembered something: "The salary increase of stars is a bit outrageous now!"
"How outrageous?"
"How much do you think Zhao Liying's quotation is for taking on the TV series?"
Without waiting for Shen Xudong to speak, Chen Xi answered by himself: "Our company's "Xing Han Brilliant", the price of the whole drama is 2000 million... I thought it was very high, but the price of an outside drama is 3500 million..."
"The market is so big, there are so many audiences, and there are only a few people who recognize it. Everyone grabs it, so it's not high.
Zhou Xingchi had a salary of 90 million in the 2000s, and that was the 90s.They are not only sold in Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also in Southeast Asia.
Hollywood stars are more expensive than in China, because they have markets all over the world. "
"That's too exaggerated! How can they have a Southeast Asian market?"
"The major video platforms are at war, which has raised the price of long-form video copyrights. You can see that their quotations for receiving movies are not so outrageous!"
"That's right..." Chen Xi sighed: "It can't go up anymore, if it keeps going up, how can we make money?"
"Can you let them convert their remuneration into investment!"
Chen Xi shook his head: "I don't want to."
"Don't want to? Why?"
"Pay directly to the film, guarantee income in drought and flood, and convert it into investment. What if the show does not sell well?"
"...Then if the sale goes viral, wouldn't the actor earn more?"
"There are not many actors with such courage."
……
The soaring salary of actors started in 09, when cable TV became popular, and there was a satellite TV ranking tool, each TV station competed for viewers and advertising fees, and bought films at high prices. Huayi, TV Huace, are rich...
Crazy bidding to snatch first-line stars!
Chen Daoming, Li Youbin, and Sun Honglei directly rose to 80 for a single episode...
Then around 2015, with the implementation of the two dramas and one star policy, the Internet platform ushered in a bright moment. In order to compete with traditional satellite TV for audiences and high-quality film and television resources, a lot of money was spent...
Directly burned the star salary to more than 5000 million for a single episode!
This is called market decision.
Later, the market couldn't bear it, and there were all kinds of complaints. Then the higher authorities issued policies. More than 400 lower-level companies, including video platforms and film and television companies, collectively endorsed the demand to limit high film remuneration.
In fact, in the final analysis, the black background is also market regulation!
The video platform can't be played anymore, and I don't want to play it anymore, so a salary cut has become a consensus...
This is actually a manifestation of the content company's lack of confidence in itself. If you look at Noon Sunshine, there is no such thing. Many so-called big-name actors are willing to take the initiative to cut their salaries to participate in the series of Noon Sunshine!
Shen Xudong believes that once the PPTV self-produced drama becomes famous, there must be many actors who are willing to cut their salaries to participate!
Although most stars and actors in our circle love vanity, it is also beneficial to love vanity, because good works can allow them to increase their bargaining chips when they are bragging.
……
The release of "Big Wudang" did not stop "Painted Skin 2" from continuing to occupy the box office...
It's just that the proportion of the market has dropped from the previous 80% to 70%...
"Big Wudang" is really bad!
In fact, the setting of this script is still good, a bit like cultivating immortals, but the specific performance is much worse.
If the protagonist is changed to an old Taoist who wants to cultivate immortality and ascend, then the movie will be a good suspense movie, but unfortunately, it can't...
Not even an iota of suspense!
Look at the setting of the script. In the early days of the Republic of China, the martial arts grand meeting that takes place once in a hundred years is about to start. Masters from all walks of life gather at the Taoist holy place Wudang Mountain to fight for the title of "No. [-] in the world". …
The professor of archeology also came to Wudang for the legendary Zhenshan treasure, but he didn't know that he fell into the biggest crisis since Zhang Sanfeng founded the school...
The protagonist is set to be an archeology professor!
The first half is very martial arts, and the second half is completely "Raiders of the Lost Ark"...
The two types are forcibly fused, and the fusion is quite poor, so it becomes a bad movie!
Comments from netizens: After ruining Shaolin Temple for so many years, it is finally time to attack Wudang!
Thanks to "Great Wudang", it was out of the circle on the first day, "Painted Skin 2" received another 1.92 million in the next weekend, and the cumulative box office exceeded 6 million!
Yang Xiaomi was quite speechless, and came to complain to Shen Xudong.
At least that's what she told Shen Xudong!
Straight to the horse farm...
Shen Xudong was a little surprised when he saw Yang Xiaomi, because she was not alone: "You came when you came, why did you bring someone?"
"...This is an actress signed by my studio, named Zhu Xudan, how is it?"
Zhu Xudan greeted quickly: "Shen...senior..."
"Oh, you are from Chinese opera?"
"...Yes, the Chinese opera I participated in this year..."
"This year... so how old are you?"
"I'm 20..."
Yang Xiaomi explained: "She used to be an artist under LeTV, but LeTV didn't have any opportunities to make films, so I'm coming..."
Shen Xudong frowned: "The freshmen and sophomores of Chinese opera are not allowed to film!"
"Just tell me how she is?"
Shen Xudong replied casually: "You must have good taste... let's go and ride a horse!"
"...I won't go, I'll go around with Xu Dan..."
"You come to the racecourse...Forget it, I will ride a horse myself!"
