Chapter 1199 A Force that Cannot Be Ignored

""Jedi Men" is released in China, showing weakness to Chen Hao."

"Megan Fox has completely become an insulator for blockbusters. She will lose more if she gives up "Forrest Gump"."

"The quality of the film is average, and Universal is raising a white flag to show its goodwill to Chen Hao."

"Universal is offering 20 million + box office share and sincerely invites Chen Hao to join the new film project!"

"'Jedi Men' entered China in a way that was despised by thousands of people, just to show favor to Chen Hao!"

"The box office on the first day was dismal, and "Bad Boys" is not expected to be released in China for more than a week!"

A series of news reports are undoubtedly from the perspective of the winner, following Chen Hao to review this once popular film, can it make Megan Fox give up the choice of "Forrest Gump"? Even though the movie was heavily criticized at the time, everyone at least felt that she had some confidence that the book would be profitable and profitable. However, now, it has become a global outcast. It simply ignores your existence and gives you a sufficient salary. The contract has fulfilled its obligations, and what happens after the filming of the movie has nothing to do with you. Chen Hao's current behavior of showing affection to Chen Hao is undoubtedly putting Megan Fox on the fire. All she can do is stay behind closed doors. Just let yourself disappear from the public eye for a while, and it will be useless to scold Universal for its shamelessness in your heart. The reality is so cruel that it will not give you any chance to control the right to speak.

Chen Hao asked people in the company to keep an eye on him, and the answer reached his ears within a day. It was quite uncomfortable to passively become someone else's pawn.

Haomen fans were clamoring for a boycott of a movie that no one had cared about before. Now Universal's show of goodwill and raising a white flag surprised Haomen fans and made them extremely excited. They felt like they were proud of their idol. They swore an oath. It is a movie that I will never go to. People give up when they have the idea of ​​going to see it. We should be more generous. Besides, how bad is this movie? If we don’t watch anything else, it’s good to see that woman’s face. of.

The unsold movie tickets, due to the news and the change of mentality of Haomen fans, have ushered in a small peak of ticket sales. In response to this situation, Chen Hao could only shake his head and smile bitterly. He could not call on everyone not to go see it. There are some things that cannot be done openly, and if you do them, you will fall behind. Furthermore, there is no irreconcilable conflict with Universal.

"Call Universal and ask for various aftermath guarantees, and then the box office share will be increased to 7%."

Being used as a tool to bring the dead back to life, naturally he wanted to get back his share. Universal quickly gave a reply, 6% of the box office share, 20 million in salary, and all the corresponding conditions are subject to this, The other party has only one request, which is to announce the news immediately. He lowered his attitude and lost a certain amount of reputation. What he wanted was to tie Chen Hao to his works and make a complete turnaround.

It is understandable and not too much to ask. Big film companies also need good product operations. A film is a product. Using Chen Hao's fame to make the film finally achieve profit amid criticism, China's contribution to the film market In order to achieve a certain publicity effect, it doesn't matter how much it is criticized in the international market, as long as the box office can recover. Anyway, it is Megan Fox who is criticized the most, not Universal. This super big shield, which was shot with countless arrows, can also be said to be a gift from Universal to Chen Hao.

After Chen Hao learned that "Jedi Men" was coming to China and that he would not get much money from the box office share, he agreed to the other party's request. The audience might have to spend about thirty movie tickets, but most of the money earned would be retained. In China, this is just like he can't sway the audience's curiosity to go to the movies. There is no argument that the audience just lost thirty or forty yuan to watch a rubbish movie because of him.

After watching a movie, I returned to the shooting state of leaving early and returning late. The cast and crew were given good benefits and were allowed to work eight or nine hours a day. If they exceeded, they would be given high overtime pay. Chen Hao himself It was still crazy to shoot. Although the actors on the crew received box lunches every season and there were newcomers, basically the actors who came were all friends. After guiding some newcomers, they were very nervous and did not dare to be disobedient in the slightest.

After filming several seasons of "Lost", everyone's tacit understanding has become stronger and stronger, and shooting has become more and more comfortable. Dramas with this type of theme sometimes require everyone to work in one go. If a scene can be shot in one go, it will not only benefit the actors. In this state, it is not easy for the whole process to appear in the scene of dressing up. The most important thing is that the cost is at least several times lower. Just think about it, it only records the degree of dirty clothes and sweating of the actors during the filming process, and the actors re-make up and re-make up each time. Restoring the previous dressing state was very expensive, but now one scene can be shot in one day. In addition to being tired, it is necessary to be happy and enjoy the film. The final effect is also very satisfying.

……………………

During the lunch break on the set, the weather is getting warmer and there is plenty of sunshine at noon. After a whole morning of crawling around in the large-scale scene, I lie down on the folding chair, take off my shoes, wash my feet, change my socks, and bask in the sun. Very comfortable.

After several seasons of filming, actors from the Happy Reunion era have gradually entered the series. Xiao Di played a villain role in this season, which is quite a test of her acting skills. It can be said that Chen Hao specially designed a role for her. Her performance so far Received everyone’s approval.

She also followed Chen Hao's example. After eating lunch, she took a bath and soaked her feet. In the warm sunshine without any wind, she covered herself with a blanket to let her body bathe in the sunshine. The blanket conveyed the warmth brought by the sun, without The skin will be damaged by ultraviolet rays.

Looking up, there are people like this all around, some taking a nap with their eyes closed, some playing with their phones, and some reading scripts. It is rare to be quiet around. Occasionally, you can hear the sound of a super-large project running from the fourth phase of the "Lost City" amusement park in the distance, accompanied by the screams of some tourists.

Chen Hao walked back from outside. He went to talk about things before taking a bath and soaking his feet after filming his scenes in the morning. He took off his shoes and let out a long breath. The wet feeling was really uncomfortable.

"How did the talk with the people from Universal go?" Huang Bo put down his phone and asked curiously.

A question that should not be asked, the person asking it has no pressure.

A question that should not be answered, the person answering it also has no pressure.

"It's a lone hero type movie, with a tight rhythm and not much novelty. It won't be bad if it's well made. The main thing is the display of my action scenes."

Huang Bo showed a look that I understood. Chen Hao was just making some money there during the interval between filming his own drama. Compared with commercial activities, he felt at ease making money from filming. At least he could supervise the quality of the drama and guarantee his own performance. He also liked to film action scenes and dared to shout that all action scenes would be performed in person. In the negotiation just now, Universal did not mind giving another 10 million yuan in private remuneration and super high personal insurance. The benefits of this gimmick to the film would be several times higher than this value.

"I'm discussing a drama here, and I'd better use our association so that I can feel at ease." Huang Bo remembered something and said hello to Chen Hao.

Huaxia Film and Television Promotion Association

Chen Hao nodded: "The power of Chinese filmmakers can no longer be ignored."

Huang Bo agreed: "Yes, I looked at the internal notice of the association a few days ago. The external scripts that everyone chose are all very good scripts and roles, but the pay is not taken seriously by everyone."

Ge Da Ye stretched his waist, turned over, and lay on his side facing this side at a distance. He opened his eyes and joined the chat: "Not setting up a so-called membership system and not restricting everyone is the most powerful place. I went to the Beijing Film Studio a few days ago and there were very few people squatting there. There were fewer group leaders. Will our Chinese Film and Television Promotion Association continue to provide a free online platform for everyone?"

In fact, when Chen Hao came back, the attention of these artists who were resting was on him. A pay of 20 million US dollars plus a 6% share of the global box office is easy to say, but it is just a number. How many actors can't get a pay of 20 million US dollars throughout their careers.

Everyone was of course interested in Universal's new work, but the conversation seemed to be just passing over that matter. Everyone's interest was drawn to the China Film and Television Promotion Association, which was slowly developing and beginning to emerge.

"For the lower level, we will never set a threshold, otherwise it will lose its meaning and value. For the upper level, we will only extract the most basic commission to assist you in connecting with foreign jobs. Even if it develops to the end, this little commission cannot support the operation of the entire Film and Television Promotion Association. This is the only way to do it at present, with the main purpose of helping others. I haven't thought about how big it will be, maybe someone has thought about it for us. I don't have such great ambitions and so much energy. Even if it is a standardized industry, it will not be done in three to five years. At present, we will give more people some opportunities, publicize more projects on the Internet, and everyone can choose freely, and give the choosers more choices. As for connecting artists with foreign jobs, you can do it yourself if you are familiar with it. It is just a stepping stone."

Real words can make people feel sincere. People around them nodded secretly. The China Film and Television Promotion Association was established in Hong Kong. Until now, there has been no trace of deviation. It has indeed done a very down-to-earth thing, giving more group performances and more young actors opportunities, giving you a way to choose. Whether you can get on depends on your own ability.

What ability?

Acting skills, appearance, and the spirit of daring to really make an effort to perform a scene well.

The wet ground and humid environment, in order to create a better shooting effect, this season of "Lost" is in a very harsh environment. Although there is no ultra-low temperature on the scene, the bad feeling from time to time is real. Do you need a double when falling in the wet mud?

It’s okay to use a double, just change the shooting angle. Many big names used to do this in some dramas.

On the shooting site of "Lost", unless it is really dangerous, such as horse racing or high-altitude work, there is no double. For everyone's health, we laid a heating system on the ground under the wet mud. Falling down is just dirty and painful, and there will be no root cause of disease. For such a scene, do you need an angle to only shoot your back? Or do you have to disassemble and shoot one shot at a time for you?

There are more than a dozen stars on the scene, and even if you have that thick skin, do you think your status will be higher than Chen Hao?
