Chapter 618 Finale and Celebration

Actor remuneration and celebrity positions are all based on the market!

It can't be free, right?

It is a global best-selling series, and even Shen Xudong knows how to pay the actors a little more.

In addition, the movie market is very cruel: box office is king.

If you have box office, you are awesome. Let’s talk about the Huabiao Awards a few days ago. Shen Teng’s position beat Liu Ye and Chen Kun...

Wu Jing simply sat next to the C seat - the C seat was Director Chen Da!

By the way, many people say that Wu Jing took advantage of the main theme, which is why "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Changjin Lake" were created...

I'm really convinced. When "Wolf Warrior 2" was released, there was "The Founding of an Army" at the same time. Public opinion was unanimously not optimistic about "Wolf Warrior 2". As for "Changjin Lake", it took Yu Dong three visits to cast Wu Jing. , and even let Wu Jing’s Dengfeng International join the production side...

Now some people say that "Changjin Lake" has little impact whether or not Wu Jing is involved...

Haha, with an investment of 1.2 billion, the investor directly said that without Wu Jing, I would not invest. Are you more knowledgeable than the investor?

The main theme will not lose money?

"Rescue", "Inspection", including "Search and Rescue" all only had a box office of tens of millions, and they lost a lot of money. Even Lin Chaoxian's "Emergency" had a box office of 400 million, which directly caused the producer to suffer huge losses...

There is a saying in the film industry: Men in the film industry watch the box office and women watch the awards. If a man doesn’t have box office appeal, he’s nothing!

The most typical one is Du Jiang, who previously boasted a box office of tens of billions. After the collapse of "Rescue", it will be difficult for him to take on big productions.

Bringing it back, after chatting with Zhong Lifeng for a while, Shen Xudong asked about the release of "The Raid" and "The Legend of the Evil". The latter said that it would be released at the end of October...

"Okay, let's follow you... hang up first!"

Putting away his mobile phone, Shen Xudong continued walking...

He was bored at home, so he went out to the park...

There are all kinds of good news recently, first "The Ghost Story", then "Famous" directed by myself was a hit, then "Toy", and now "Taken 2"...

There are too many touting voices around!

To be honest, Shen Xudong has not experienced this kind of flattery before - after his debut, the first TV series he wrote as a screenwriter was "Dragon", the first movie was "The Orphan" directed by Feng Xiaogang, and the second The movie "Outstanding Citizen" directly made Director Chen win the Venice Best Actor...

At that time, he was known as a genius screenwriter.

In addition, he is one of the top three writers born in the 1980s, and he is also handsome, and a lot of women come to him!

Therefore, he is resistant to flattery.

At least, that's what he thinks.

In the entertainment industry, it is normal to flatter others and underestimate others. When Zhang Songwen was still playing a small role, he was filming "Soldier" in the desert. At that time, he was only a supporting role (Fu Chai) in the play. When he was finishing work, he found that the surrounding environment had been messed up by the crew. It was very dirty, with garbage and the staff’s lunch boxes everywhere, so he took the initiative to bring plastic bags and silently picked up the garbage.

By the time he reacted after picking up the trash, the crew had evacuated and driven away all the cars, leaving him alone.

In order to ask the crew to come and pick him up, Zhang Songwen apologized repeatedly. The staff's reply to him at the time was this, "Don't you want to pick up trash? Just stay there and pick it up slowly."

Who dares to say such a thing now?

The same goes for Deng Chao!

When promoting the movie "Chinese Ping Pong", they specially took out the promotional photo of "Bad Angel", but this photo is different from the one posted before. The new champion Fan Zhendong was cropped out in the photo 7 years ago. Already…

Yes, it was cut off on purpose!

Because 7 years ago, Fan Zhendong was not the champion...

Therefore, Shen Xudong was mentally prepared from the beginning!

But being prepared is not the same as being able to bear it...

This time, it really went a bit too far...

Not to mention the various greetings and inquiries within the company, even several leaders from Hanshanping and even the Film Bureau came over to congratulate...

The activity invitations from the circle include many other circles, such as the IT circle and the rich circle. People from this club and that club also want him to participate...

Shen Xudong was really not mentally prepared for these things!

I discussed it with Gao Fenfen and decided that it was not advisable to just ignore him...

To engage in any profession in China, once you become famous, you absolutely need a certain amount of network support, and the film and television industry even needs financial support.

There is no way to ignore it...

I participated in a few events and experienced a high-end social life - there were no white people in my dealings, but there were scholars who talked and laughed...

I suddenly realized why so many celebrities in my memory looked like social elites. They knew nothing but dared to claim to be academics and architects...

In such an environment, not only do you lose respect for performances, but you may also lose respect for the law!

What's a lie?

Therefore, Shen Xudong only participated in a few shows, and then did not show up...

If you have time, why not be alone and reflect on yourself...

…

On October 19th, Friday, "Famous" was released for 20 days, and the cumulative box office exceeded 200 million...

If "Taken 2" hadn't been a huge hit overseas and triggered a surge of moviegoers in mainland China, "Famous" would have exceeded 200 million five days ago!

In addition, thanks to the success of "Taken 2", the film schedule of "Famous" has been cut a lot, and the total box office is estimated to be only 210 million at most...

It was 10 to 20 million less than previously predicted.

Of course, compared to the cost, "Famous" has already made a lot of money!

The profit can be calculated in three seconds: 40% of the box office account goes to the producer, which is 80 million, and the cost of publicity and production, the sales of commercials, and business cooperation are basically evenly divided...

Revenue from television and audio-visual copyrights is 14 million.

The total overseas copyright should be about 27 million - because of Gong Li's participation, the overseas copyright is more or less sold.

In other words, the net profit of "Famous" exceeds 120 million.

But this money cannot all go to Tianmei Company. The actors benefited from 30%, China Film invested 10%, and the top ten theaters also took 10%...

"Famous" can bring more than 60 million yuan in revenue to the company!

You must know that 80% of this money is provided by the domestic market...

There must be a celebration banquet.

…

"boom!"

"Wow!"

In the hotel, on the high platform, Shen Xudong, Gao Fenfen, and Chen Xi each carried a hammer and started chipping away. The big ice cube with the words "200000000" turned into pieces in the blink of an eye.

Immediately, the three of them raised their glasses...

"Famous" celebration banquet.

"I wanted to thank everyone... I guess everyone is tired of hearing this, so I will just say, 'Twenty million box office', we are all awesome! Drink!"

Shen Xudong said something concisely and concisely, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp...

Oh, he drank soda...

No way, I'm allergic to alcohol!

The celebration banquet was basically held by the main creators of the "Famous" crew. No outsiders were invited. Even the media only invited Lei Zhenjian, the editor-in-chief of Sina Entertainment.

——After all, Sina Entertainment exclusively reported the news of "Famous", so he can be considered one of his own!

The atmosphere was very relaxed, with twos and threes gathering together to chat. Uncle Ge chatted with Director Chen about recent events: "The one I shot, "The Peach Blossom"... I heard they said they were reshooting..."

Director Chen was surprised: "Reshoots? Didn't we find you? Aren't you the protagonist?"

"...They think I have too much trouble and don't want to find me...but they want to keep the material I shot!"

"What's the meaning?"

"Just cut into a supporting role..."

Director Chen was speechless and simply called Shen Xudong: "... Xudong, come and listen!"

"Here we come..." Shen Xudong was communicating with Lei Zhenjian about "The King of Kung Fu"...
