Chapter 989 Premiere (14)
Hot money is pouring into the film industry crazily...
Take Tianmei Media as an example, its market value exceeds 100 billion.
But Tianmei Media’s annual profit is only about 3 billion at most, and even less this year because of the acquisition of Maoyan and investment in several studios in Xiangshan, including the formation of a special effects alliance...
It cost more than a billion...
These are borderline investments. After all, to make science fiction and fantasy blockbusters, you need top-notch studios and special effects companies.
Pulling it back, that is to say, Tianmei Media’s profit this year is only a billion at most, but its market value now exceeds 100 billion...
The price-to-earnings ratio is generally 15-20 times, which is more reasonable, but this ratio is almost approaching 100 times!
Typical bubble…
But this is the fact - the entertainment track has become a new investment hotspot. The proposal of big entertainment and IP has made entertainment become a hot topic in the eyes of capital. Of course, policy encouragement also adds fuel to the fire.
In the past, when money was invested, the investor had responsibilities and pressure. At least he would urge the director to complete the project on time;
Now...
Let's put it this way, starting from the investment, this film was originally made for 100 million, but it became 300 million after filming, and it was 600 million when it was sold.
The various premiums obtained from the investment rights are sold out.
Beating drums and passing flowers around...
Like "Hello, BJ", written and produced by Shen Xudong, directed by Ning Hao, and starring Ge You, it is a billion-level project no matter how you look at it...
Therefore, knowledgeable people will judge that 600 million is unlikely, but if you invest in shares at a cost of 300 million, you can still make a profit!
Then how can it be sold at a premium of 600 million?
Simple, there is a lot of hot money - a bunch of capital involved in the film do not hope to make money through the film itself, but hope to make money behind the finance through complex financial instruments and financial derivatives. What they lack is a phenomenal film project.
For projects like "Hello, BJ", they are willing to pay a premium to join.
Of course Shen Xudong knew these things.
He dislikes these things, but... he also knows that this kind of thing is not something he can solve, just like P2P lending...
All he can do is regulate the movie itself...
As for the investment share of "Hello, BJ" - since they know that this thing will definitely make money, the leading actors will naturally have a share!
This is Tianmei's rule - in general movies, the leading actors have an investment share, and they may even be free of remuneration and only receive box office dividends.
Of course, the premise is a big star.
You can also choose to get a high salary. For example, "BJ" gave Ge You a salary of 60 million yuan, 60 million yuan after tax!
…
Feng Xiaogang has no time to take care of "Private Customization". He doesn't do much promotion. He is mainly busy with the Spring Festival Gala...
But no matter how busy he is, he still has to come to the premiere!
The premiere was hosted by Li Yong, and Feng Xiaogang attended with the four leading actors Ge You, Bai Baihe, Li Xiaolu, and Zheng Kai...
After "Love Is Not Blind", Bai Baihe is simply invincible in the field of Chinese chick flicks...
Chinese-style chick flicks pursue a kind of arrogance and indulgence under the premise of "Chinese-style political correctness".
——Change the traditional image of women from listeners to evangelists, and talk about some principles that seem to be about feminism. In fact, in addition to taking cards and asking for cards, they are also pretending...
Women will definitely like this type of movie!
Her appearance and overall temperament give people a sense of life, a bit of art and strength, and she also has the sass of a successful working woman...
This thing is simply a sharp weapon!
As for her acting skills, to be honest, there has been no improvement, and she is at the level of a low-level sect leader. In martial arts novels, it's like "The King of Five Tigers and Swordsmen" and "The King of Arm Fist". Even the martial arts they practice are not very popular on the stage, but one move is popular all over the world...
In this era, almost no one in the same field can beat her!
In the Age of Dharma Ending, the Five Tigers and the Sword King are enough.
Seeing Shen Xudong, Bai Baihe's eyes lit up and he hurried forward to greet her - Bai Baihe officially entered the film industry after starring in "33 Days After Love", and Shen Xudong was considered her boss...
After hugging him for a while, Shen Xudong thought of a news article in "Private Customization" and asked, "I heard that you were shocked by Teacher Fan Wei?"
Bai Baihe nodded and admitted: "...Well, there was one scene where Teacher and Mrs. Fan Wei were so natural that I forgot that we were acting...I pulled away for a moment..."
"Fan Wei is really great. He has too few scenes in "Big Buddha", so we are planning to work together a few more times..."
"Really? Is there a role for me?"
"If there is any, I will definitely come to you..."
Fan Wei's acting skills are indeed amazing, and what's even more amazing is his tenacity and plasticity...
The characters created by many so-called veteran actors tend to be single-minded as they get older, and they remain the same over and over again.
Fan Wei is different, always giving you new feelings...
Just like old vinegar, it gets better and better as time goes by.
Someone compared him with Zhao Benshan and described it this way:
Watching Fan Wei's acting, one feels like this: There is a man picking his teeth with an ax, and his mouth is chopped off immediately, but nothing happens, and his teeth are much cleaner when he picks them;
Zhao Benshan... He does not stick to fixed lines, but first grasps the general direction of the plot, and then plays it according to the characteristics of the task and the scene...
I used to think that Fan Wei was better than Zhao Benshan. After all, Lao Zhao has always been in the comfort zone. Later, after watching "Falling Leaves Return to Roots" and "Legend of the Magpie Sword", I found that Lao Zhao's comfort zone is a bit big, and he is always in the comfort zone wherever he goes...
If there is a chance, we must let them collaborate again!
The script has been thought out - "Northeast Sherlock", adapted from "Sherlock on the Plains"...
…
Feng Xiaogang's face was full of exhaustion. It was obvious that the Spring Festival Gala had taken a huge toll on him!
No matter who directs the Spring Festival Gala, it’s all the same…
The framework has been established.
"It's difficult. If you think a program is good, but the leaders think it's not good, then it has to be killed. In the past, I thought the most important thing about the Spring Festival Gala is to satisfy the people. But, the prerequisite for you to satisfy the people is that you have to satisfy the leaders. Satisfied, because the leaders are dissatisfied and the people cannot see it.”
"But if the leader is satisfied, the show will probably not be good to watch!"
Backstage, Feng Xiaogang briefly complained to Shen Xudong. Shen Xudong just listened, smoked a cigarette with him, and then went to the screening room...
Feng Xiaogang's kind of upper-level thinking...
He has become institutionalized now, and "Private Customization" is full of greasy accents...
Let’s review these three stories. Each one is “bad” in a way:
Paragraph 1: There are bad people among the masses;
Second paragraph: Debate between elegance and vulgarity? This thing is no longer relevant. Does it make sense to discuss the issues of the 1990s twenty years later?
The third paragraph is the worst. It fulfills Song Dandan’s dream of being rich. He drinks a lot of chicken soup and finally comes to the conclusion: it’s not easy for rich people.
In fact, there is a fourth paragraph, but it is fragmented... I have no idea what he wants to express!
During the Lunar New Year, let’s take a silly political lesson!
For this matter, I actually blame the screenwriter Wang Shuo - he is used to living a life of dissipation and extravagance, but he still creates shit...
The fate of creators, especially comedy creators, because most comedies focus on the joys and sorrows of small people. You have to be grounded and at least make the audience empathize. But after you succeed, it will be difficult to make a direct class jump. There is a way to get in touch with and feel the joys and sorrows of small people. Although you can still create, the stories are more taken for granted...
"Private Customization" is really not that good!
