Geng Hao returned to his hometown", announced the cost: 64 million.

Among them, Lu Xiaoran's personal salary: 5 million + 20% profit sharing, Huang Bo and Ge You also signed a guaranteed salary + personal box office share;

Cong Shan, Wang Luodan, Zhang Xiaofei's salary plus one piece is less than 10 million...

Needless to say, the key actor contract was 'leaked' to the neck, which attracted a lot of attention.

It's not that it's too little, but the model of guaranteed salary + sharing has made many people discuss.

It still has something to do with the background - Lu Xiaoran's movies have always been guaranteed remuneration + box office sharing.

But before, there weren't so many high-paid phenomena...

Lu Xiaoran doesn't pay much attention to these - generally speaking, the phenomenon of high remuneration is concentrated in the field of TV dramas.

The purchase model of video websites and TV stations: they often don't pay attention to the script, production and positioning of film and television projects at all, and only pay attention to the star lineup.

But the dramas made by Orange are basically all about attracting stars to join with content, or they are pure newcomer structures...

Think about it, "No War in Peking", the lineup of the seven major emperors, a serious drama, just vote!

And the highest salary is only 15 million...

To put it bluntly, everyone is not used to seeing many unworthy people with high salaries!

Every industry should have people with high salaries, provided that the professional skills are commensurate.

If you have that ability, you can naturally take it, but some of you don't have good acting skills, and you don't understand it...

"Hollywood is like this, if you have box office appeal, then sign a contract!"

"I really didn't expect that Lu Xiaoran's basic salary was 5 million... That's too little!"

……

The theater chain is very willing to see "Geng Hao Return to His Hometown" a big hit, giving 56% of the film schedule on the second day, and increasing the film schedule to 58% on the third day...

According to the number of shows, 150,000 games were scheduled in one day!

On the second day, it won 240 million box office, and on the third day, it won 220 million at the box office, and on the first weekend, plus 250 million in advance, it won 920 million box office...

Didn't surpass "The Mermaid"...

However, the word of mouth is very good, and on the first working day, the single-day box office fell by only 20%, 176 million...

Stimulated by "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown", the market in May finally returned to its rightful position - for four consecutive days, the market was all above 200 million!

What is a work to save the market - that is, all movies, whether good or bad, the audience just doesn't want to buy it, and the audience is disgusted with movies!

Then your movie was released and it immediately sparked a market following!

Before the release of "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown", for a long time, the market was around 60 million, and when "American Team 3" and "Fuji Love Letter" were released, the market broke 200 million...

In the whole of April, compared to the same period last year, the market was one billion less, and in May, the first twenty days, there was 800 million less...

A year ago, the three movies "Avengers 2", "Doraemon" and "Jurassic World" directly hyped mainland film and television to 4 billion...

This year, there is only one "American Team 3", and the weight is obviously not enough!

Even with the addition of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix", which later counterattacked, it was far from playing a role in driving the market - the total box office of "A Hundred Birds and a Phoenix" was just over 100 million, which can be called a box office miracle for a literary film, but it has no meaning for the entire market...

What the market needs is the kind of work that pulls the market!

After the release of "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown", the market was 280 million on the first day, 320 million on the next day, and 280 million on the third day...

The market is hot, which has driven the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies, and "Fuji Love Letter" has actually received more than 4 million at the box office for three consecutive days...

You must know that this movie has been in theaters for 22 days, and it has been criticized by many as a mediocre sequel...

It's called a rescue work!

……

The propaganda continues...

It's better to chase the poor bravely!

After all, the big enemy behind is menacing - on June 1st, "X-Men: Apocalypse" was released, and on June 7th, "Warcraft" opened...

There is no way to avoid it!

In the auditorium of Wuhan University, as usual, we talked about film, and when it came to the question session:

"Director, what do you think of the phenomenon of high salaries?"

“… First of all, it is normal to have a high salary, because it is like this all over the world, good actors, actors with appeal can get high salaries... Super high salaries are abnormal!"

"What is super high salary?"

"It's the percentage that exceeds the production cost... Generally speaking, the proportion of film production costs, if it is a commercial film, do not count on actors, it is 2:8 or 1:9, like "Geng Hao Returns to His Hometown", it is 4:6, because comedy and drama movies really rely on actors to play, and there is no special effects investment, and the actors' remuneration in the "Hangover" series accounts for 40% of the production budget..."

"When we calculate the remuneration for filming, we must first calculate the proportion of the entire production fee. It can't exceed 40%, so what should I do? I can't take the cost of the first production, otherwise what will I do for filming? Let the actors who can bring the box office take the back, that is, the box office dividends, the higher the box office, the more the actors earn!"

"That's... Why not do it?"

"It's difficult, you see, it's difficult to develop our film peripherals, box office revenue accounts for nearly 78%, a successful movie in Hollywood relies on peripherals and DVDs to make money, and a movie can earn back the production and distribution costs is very successful... We can't, we can return to less than 100 movies every year, and the rest are loss-making, if the actors sign a share, then the producer and the actors may not make a dime!"

"I think that in the current era of fragmented reading, many people only look at one-sided, partial generalizations, plus many self-media neither understand the industry situation, nor do they want to understand, even the most basic data, readily available, data that can be found by casual search, data that is open every day are not willing to be cited, only willing to emotionally convey some hearsay, so that the current image of the entire industry is very affected, in fact, we still have a large number of actors who are serious about filming!"

"The simplest example, most of the actors, they come to shoot my scenes, and they don't need to be paid at all. ”

"They just want to put on a good show!"

……

Lao Lu himself grew up with little fresh meat, and he was also the first producer to give domestic actors a high salary - "Nightclub" gave Xu Zheng a salary of 300,000 yuan...

Moreover, he didn't think that high salaries were a common phenomenon...

So, I helped to defend a few words.

Now that I say that, I'm going to be slapped in the face soon...

A few days later, Yu Dong called to complain about the casting of "Operation Red Sea", eight actors, except for the actor Zhang Yi, who agreed without saying a word, the other seven were either overpriced, or simply unwilling to participate in the half-year training camp...

Half-year training camp...

Still riding a horse to Africa?

Lao Tzu went to a cave, participated in a variety show, made millions a month, and went to Africa?

Fuck you uncle!
