219. Dreams really can't be eaten as food
The reason why Hu Mo has not made movies for so many years is because he is not used to the current film market, although he did not directly pick it out, but the meaning he wants to express is very clear and clear.
Hu Mo means that his acting skills are very good, but it is useless to have good acting skills in the film market, but those little fresh meat who have no acting skills to confuse the public all day long, so he is lazy to take over the movie, and he feels insulted to his personality.
Today's film is waiting for the opportunity, whether there is a market after the release of the movie is not a matter of concern to him, he just needs to play the role well, and the salary will be paid back and how much he will be given, and his own market will decide.
So in the end, this movie became the first real movie in Hu Mo's life, and after hearing that he agreed to make this scene, Li Youqian couldn't stop laughing: "Hahahahaha...... Welcome Mr. Hu to join our crew!"
The others also clapped their hands symbolically and shouted a few words of 666.
Hu Mo also responded politely: "You're welcome, happy cooperation!"
Su Yuanyuan took out the contract and said: "According to the analysis of market data, Hu Mo's movie salary should be 30 million, I don't know if you have any opinions!"
Everyone turned their attention to Xie Xiaoke, because Hu Mo was his signed artist.
Xie Xiaoke smiled: "I have to ask Hu Mo himself about this!"
"Yes, Mr. Hu, you say!" Li Youqian asked.
Hu Mo nodded and smiled slightly: "Okay, then 30 million!"
Su Yuanyuan volunteered to send Xie Xiaoke and Hu Mo out of the building, and when they were sent outside the door, she said politely: "Mr. Xie, Brother Hu, is there anything urgent now, why don't I invite everyone to dinner!"
Hu Mo showed that charming smile again: "No, I still have something to do when I go back, thank you!"
Su Yuanyuan said: "Don't you be in a hurry, it's hard to see you, let me do my best to be a landlord." ”
Hu Mo insisted on leaving: "There is really an urgent matter, otherwise how could I refuse the hospitality of a beautiful woman?"
"It's funny, then you must give me a chance next time!" Su Yuanyuan said very aggrievedly, and then turned to Xie Xiaoke: "What about you, Mr. Xie?"
Xie Xiaoke is definitely a more important person compared to Hu Mo, Su Yuanyuan didn't dare to slack off at all, but he was also in a hurry to go back, and Hu Moe felt embarrassed that he was not alone.
"I'll invite you another day, and I have to go back today!"
Su Yuanyuan put on a rare aggrieved expression: "Ah, hey..."
After Hu Cut's matter is dealt with, it is equivalent to the first formal cooperative relationship between Peak Times and Orange Sky Entertainment, Xie Xiaoke has a sense of accomplishment in his heart, which has taken the first step for him to step into the entertainment industry and kill Xiao Xianrou.
Although the background of this movie is 1937, through the current high-tech rendering and special effects, it is completely possible to create the effect of a modern epic blockbuster, mainly depending on the performance of the actors and the level of post-processing, and Orange Sky Entertainment is even more ruthless than Xie Xiaoke, and even the makeup artists and post-processing teams are all invited to international first-class masters, which is not something that ordinary people can do, in addition to money, there are also connections, maybe Xie Xiaoke may not be able to invite those international masters.
If these internationally renowned teams can be recognized during this cooperation with Orange Sky Entertainment, it will also be helpful for the later development of the peak era.
As long as Hu Cai is put in, the other actors Xie Xiaoke will no longer ask, because there are three other investment companies, and it should not be difficult for them to choose a few old actors.
Now Xie Xiaoke's mind is all in his own company, he will not stick to others because of his cooperation with Orange Sky Entertainment Su Yuanyuan is beautiful, at the end of May, "Dou Breaking the Sky" will be updated every night on Dragon TV 3 episodes, 60 episodes are all announced, Xie Xiaoke is very anxious to go to the company to check the box office of the previous "Mu Shen Ji 1" and the current income of "Bean Breaking the Sky", which is more profitable!
The box office of the movie is relatively dead, as long as it is in the cinema, it can basically stop making profits, and "Mushen Ji 1" has been released for a total of 2 months, and has won the box office champion so far in 2022 with a total box office of 3.98 billion, second only to Wolf Warrior 2, which has been a sensation on the Internet for several months.
Now the overall box office champion of mainland movies is still "Wolf Warrior 2" that year, but the investment is only a few hundred million, and all the costs of the investment in "Mushen Ji 1" are about 1.27 billion.
However, "Mushen Ji 1" can be regarded as winning the second place in the total box office in the mainland, and has been affirmed and praised by the majority of netizens.
Of the 3.98 billion box office, only 40% of it is the peak era's own, which is about 1.792 billion, and the final income of 1.2 billion yuan after deducting taxes.
At first glance, the box office is so high, netizens feel that it is very profitable, in fact, it is not that they don't know, they are scared, this calculation result is actually a loss for ordinary companies, which is equivalent to saying that a total of so much money was invested here, and it lost 70 million in the final release.
If it weren't for the finance to take out the detailed accounts, Xie Xiaoke wouldn't know what his current situation was at all, he was still in a dream, and he needed someone capable to wake him up.
Seeing those box office blockbusters before, Xie Xiaoke felt that these movies must be making money to death, especially entertainment companies, they must be making money, including when he saw the box office of Mu Shenji, he also thought that he would definitely make money, not a billion, at least a few hundred million will definitely be able to make money, after all, the box office of billions of billions is there, if you don't make money, where will the money go?
But in the end, I didn't expect that it would be such a result, which is really unacceptable.
Now I really realize how difficult it is for film companies to make money, Xie Xiaoke's investment in this movie is mainly smashed on special effects, if the money for special effects is removed, and then the cast of actors is controlled, the approximate cost is about 1 or 2 billion, then the final special effects may not be so good-looking, and the box office will probably decline, but at least it can be guaranteed that it will not lose money.
With such an analysis, Xie Xiaoke finally understood the truth.
Why is it that China's 1.4 billion population and 9.6 million square kilometers of land are not a company willing to make high-quality movies, because it really doesn't make money, and if it doesn't make money, the company will go bankrupt, and we can't continue to make movies, so we won't have movies to watch, so in order to maintain the development of the company, some companies may choose to focus on commercial films and occasionally shoot some high-quality works, so as to make money and not be scolded by the audience for being worthless.
