Chapter 1012 Pretending to Be Sentimental (Asking for Monthly Votes)

Chapter 1013 Pretentious (asking for monthly votes)

In Hollywood, overtime work exceeding 8 hours a day or 40 hours a week is calculated at 1.5 times the salary. If the work exceeds 12 hours a day, the part exceeding the salary will be calculated at double the salary.

Hao Yun had no intention of challenging this system.

So he chose to divide into groups A and B. Group A started work at 8 o'clock in the morning and left work after 8 hours.

Then Group B took over and left work after working for 8 hours.

If there are staff or actors who have to work for more than 8 hours, or exceed a certain time point, then they will be paid more decisively.

Anyway, Hao Yun's budget is sufficient.

The speed of filming "The Martian" is simply a miracle.

In Hollywood, only very poor crews will do this, because finishing the filming one day earlier can save a lot of money.

Matt Damon was worried at the beginning.

He was worried that the quick shooter's work was rough and could not satisfy the audience.

Later, it was found that the effect of the filming was not only not bad, but also surprisingly good, much better than "The Bourne Supremacy".

Doug Liman, the director of "Jason Bourne", has won many awards, and Paul Greengrass, the director of "Jason Bourne", is the winner of the Golden Bear Award at the 52nd Berlin International Film Festival.

Hollywood sequels often change directors.

This will allow the series to be better controlled by the producer, and secondly, it will allow the audience to feel a different style, thus continuing the vitality of the sequel.

"It will probably be finished in 50 or 60 days, why are you in such a hurry?" Akasel Hennie asked in confusion.

His identity in the movie is a member of the European Space Agency and the navigator of the Hermes [Note 1].

"Maybe it's to go back early to welcome the baby who is about to be born. Our director's wife is about to give birth."

Jessica Chastain had dinner with Hao Yun. She knew that she would star in "The Martian" very early, so she paid more attention to Hao Yun.

"His wife? Our director is not very old, but he is about to become a father." Kristen Wiig next to him was very surprised.

Not to mention Hollywood, even in the mainland, not everyone knows that Hao Yun is married and his wife is pregnant.

People often have a misunderstanding that they think they are very important.

In fact, most people don't pay attention to things they are not interested in.

"Yes, you have seen Whiplash, it's the leading actress there." Jessica Chastain drank coffee and watched Hao Yun directing the staff to re-set the scene in the distance.

Although he required a quick victory, the director Hao Yun's attitude towards the film was so strict that it made people uncomfortable.

Every detail, as long as it did not meet his psychological expectations, he seemed to have obsessive-compulsive disorder, and would rather tear down all the scenery and rebuild it to satisfy himself.

"Oh, I remember, the leading actress in Whiplash, a pretty Chinese girl, but there were not many shots. I didn't expect them to fall in love because of the play..." Kristen Wiig was moved by herself.

In the movie, she played Anne Montrose, the media relations director of NASA. She was very smart and capable, but she was a little naive in real life.

"It's not a love affair, they have known each other for seven or eight years, and have collaborated on no less than ten films." Jessica Chastain looked strange.

She asked her assistant to find someone to translate some reports about Hao Yun in China.

It was discovered that Hao Yun had become a hated person because he married the national goddess there.

They all called Hao Yun "Hao Gou".

Good night, everyone, except Hao Gou.

"It's great, it's finally a happy ending after so many years." Kristen Wiig said enviously.

She just ended a marriage last year and is now a beautiful widow.

Oh no, her husband is not dead, just divorced.

Divorced beautiful women are easier to get along with than single women, and safer than those with husbands, so Kristen Wiig is more popular at the moment.

She actually doesn't mind marrying a Chinese.

"What are you talking about, get ready to shoot." Hao Yun took the wet towel from Dao Ye to wipe his hands and sat behind the monitor.

The actors quickly took their positions.

At this time, Hao Yun is a ruthless shooting machine.

These days, Miguo "Forbes" magazine announced the 2010 billionaire rankings in New York. Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim Helu surpassed Microsoft founder Bill Gates to top the list. This is the first time in 16 years that Miguo people have lost the title of the world's richest man.

Li Jiacheng is still the richest man in China, with a total asset of 21 billion US dollars.

The first in the country is Zong Qinghou, chairman of Wahaha Group, who ranks 103rd on the list with a net worth of 7 billion US dollars.

At the end of the list is Lee Kun-hee, with personal assets of 720 million US dollars.

Hao Yun is not on the list because his Black Bean Media, Black Rice Technology, and Little Forest Beverage are not listed.

The equity structure is still very dispersed, and there is no way to judge his specific net worth.

Moreover, after the employee stock ownership plan of Black Bean Media in recent years, Hao Yun's share has been diluted to an exaggerated degree.

Employees buy virtual stocks and the funds are used for company development.

This part of the stock is virtual stock. Employees who own virtual stock can receive a certain proportion of dividends and the corresponding part of the company's value-added.

It can be traded and transferred internally.

However, the total amount held cannot exceed the limit of the corresponding job level and contribution level.

Because it can be circulated within a certain range, the value of Heidou Media's virtual stocks has been growing steadily.

Of course, when leaving the company, these stocks cannot be transferred or sold to people outside the company, and can only be repurchased by the company.

Once employees get the equity, as long as they do not leave Heidou Media for a day, they can continue to participate in the distribution of money and enjoy the value-added dividends generated by the rapid development of the company.

Therefore, very few executives, directors, and actors of Heidou Media leave.

To be precise, there should be none.

Even Ning Hao, who has become a climate, is as stable as a rock and refuses to leave even though many people outside are offering high prices to win him over.

Dong Ping, an old acquaintance of Hao Yun, plans to find someone to go public through a backdoor listing to raise money.

After being rejected by Hao Yun, he thinks that the most suitable candidate is Ning Hao.

Unfortunately, Ning Hao doesn't care about him at all.

Ning Hao's virtual equity in Heidou Media is worth a lot of money, and these virtual equity will continue to increase in value as the company develops.

Black Bean Media has now begun to invest in the Internet, beverages, and even Hollywood movies.

Most importantly, Ning Hao's interests in Black Bean Media are almost zero risk.

As for wanting to make some quick money...

He can just set up a company and invest with his boss to make money.

Hao Yun is unprecedentedly generous in treating these old brothers, so generous that people think he is mentally ill.

The facts are not much different.

All operations come from his spiritual insecurity.

He was instilled with a concept when he was very young.

A chopstick can be easily broken - put away the steel chopsticks - but a pair of chopsticks can take more risks.

Now even if Hao Yun does not direct for five years, Auntie Hua cannot shake his position as the number one in Chinese-language films.

So, Hao Yun really doesn't care whether he is on the rich list or not.

As long as everyone knows that he is very rich, it's fine.

Even the Oscars know that he is very rich. When he arrived at the Oscars, some people curiously asked how much money he could make from "Source Code".

The person who talked about this topic is Sandra Bullock.

Last year, the movie "The Proposal" starring her and Ryan Reynolds grossed $155 million, beating "Sex and the City" which grossed $152 million, becoming the most popular romantic comedy in the past 10 years.

In the same year, the movie "The Blind Side" adapted from a true story was released, with a global box office of $309 million.

She was also nominated for the best actress at this year's Oscars for "The Blind Side".

This year, she was ranked first in the annual Forbes Hollywood actress income list with $56 million.

"This question..." Hao Yun was not used to this straightforward communication method. After thinking for a while, he replied: "At present, many revenues are not clear, so it is impossible to make an accurate judgment. For the time being, it is probably only tens of millions of dollars."

For the movie "Source Code", FC Pictures and Paramount joined forces. Excluding Michael Bay's part, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi have about 40% of the rights and interests.

The movie profit-sharing model in Hollywood is not the same as that in China.

China pioneered the box office sharing since the 1995 film "Red Cherry": for every 100 yuan of box office revenue, 5 yuan must first be paid to the National Film Development Special Fund and 3.3 yuan of business tax, and the remaining part will be shared by the producer and the theater at a ratio of 35% and 65%.

It was not until 2006 that "Curse of the Golden Flower" was released. After the efforts of Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou, the film company's box office sharing ratio was increased to 42%.

In this regard, all Chinese filmmakers should be grateful to the two Zhangs.

In addition, in 2008, the Film Bureau of the General Administration issued a document stipulating that the producer's share should not be less than 43% in principle; the theater should not exceed 50%.

This also laid the tone of at least 43% in China.

There are three main ways of sharing in Hollywood: one is a fixed ratio share, the second is to sell the movie to the theater chain, and the third is the most popular tiered share.

"Source Code" was distributed by Paramount, so it naturally adopted the tiered share model.

Due to the excellent box office performance of Source Code, FC Pictures and Paramount can basically share about 52% of the revenue.

The previous film, Buried, was 47%.

The specific ratio is not fixed, and it mainly depends on the tiered profit-sharing agreement between the film company and the theater chain.

The most impressive time for Disney was when it shared 65% of the box office revenue.

If Source Code is calculated at 52%, the film company can share 78 million out of 150 million.

Of course, this also needs to deduct the production cost, distribution cost, and tax.

It seems not much, but in fact, the North American box office is only a part of the film's revenue, and this is only the North American box office.

The revenue of mainland movies mainly depends on the box office, which will account for 80%-90% of the total revenue, but the Hollywood box office is usually about 1/4 to 1/3.

Zhang Weiping said in an interview that the average Hollywood film box office only accounts for 30% of its total revenue, and this statement is not too exaggerated.

In other words, with a movie like this, Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi can earn at least 40 to 50 million US dollars, which is equivalent to 200 to 300 million RMB.

A huge profit for sure!

This is also the reason why Sandra Bullock, who ranks first in the list of female stars in terms of income, would inquire about Hao Yun's income.

However, she might as well not inquire.

It would be more painful to know.

Although Hao Yun was vague, she was still hit hard.

Her income from one movie of $150 million and another of $300 million, plus various announcements, endorsements, activities, etc., is not as much as a movie invested by Hao Yun.

I heard that this Chinese director has a huge industry in his home country.

He also has a lot of money in endorsements.

Sandra Bullock alone knows that there is a spokesperson for Rolex in Asia.

Moreover, Rolex intends to promote Hao Yun as a global spokesperson, and the renewal fee for the endorsement has been increased from the original $4.5 million/two years to $10 million/two years.

It has already begun to target Hollywood's first- and second-tier male stars.

Hao Yun doesn't want to face a jealous woman.

Men don't want to either.

He also started out as an extra in Hengdian, helping the prop dealer (Wu Laoliu) pedal a tricycle in the heavy rain, and worked hard little by little to reach his current position.

And he works hard and never slacks off.

Recently, when filming in Hollywood, most people work eight hours, but he works more than fourteen hours a day.

On the contrary, Hao Yun prefers to communicate with people from the "Miguo Academy of Film Arts and Sciences".

First, these people have the right to speak.

Second, these people represent the advanced technology of Hollywood.

Hao Yun does not need to lower his status and flatter everyone one by one. At his level, there are already many people who are curious about him.

For example, this Mexican photographer named Emmanuel Lubezki took the initiative to come up to Hao Yun to say hello and talk about some issues related to photography.

Hao Yun had a very pleasant chat with him.

Emmanuel is the photographer of "Children of Men", and many of his films have been nominated for the Academy Award for Best Cinematography.

In fact, the most important thing is that Hao Yun knows photography very well.

I already understand, and I can get some attributes from Emmanuelle, so I don't have to worry about not having topics to talk about, or not being able to keep up with the topics.

After Emmanuelle was "happy", she introduced other acquaintances to Hao Yun.

Excluding Chinese people?

Not true. Even if there are filmmakers who are really prejudiced against Chinese people, after chatting with Hao Yun for a while, they will at most say one regret, how can such a film genius be a Chinese.

Later, Hao Yun received a lot of invitations.

For example, the Screenwriters Association will hold a screenwriter salon at Wesleyan University in the next few days. Akiva Goldsman, the screenwriter of "A Beautiful Mind" and "I Am Legend", invited Hao Yun to participate.

After all, Hao Yun has won the Best Screenwriter Award in Cannes and the Best Screenwriter Award in Venice.

Moreover, he is quick-witted, has a variety of styles, and is as productive as an old sow.

Even if we look at the world, he is also a leader among screenwriters.

On the other hand, Howard Shore, the Canadian composer who won the Oscar for Best Original Score and did the music behind the scenes, proposed a musicians' cocktail party in Dodge City on the 5th of next month.

Hao Yun basically accepted all the invitations.

These are necessary to win the favor of the members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. No matter how big the effect is, he needs to build his reputation.

Many solid fortresses collapsed from the inside.

It is better to let a few internal personnel sincerely cheer for Hao Yun than to spend huge amounts of money on marketing and public relations outside.

Moreover, these social activities were not Hao Yun licking his face to get close to them, but people took the initiative to invite him.

He even pretended to be hypocritical and embarrassed.

He said that he was busy filming "The Martian", but people "strongly invited" him, and he reluctantly agreed to attend.
