Chapter 200: The Great Cause Invitation (5/6)
"People in Embarrassment", Xu Zheng has 8% of the box office share.
At that time, there were two plans, the first was that the director + starring had a total salary of 500,000 yuan, and he chose the second one...
Now the box office results have been announced, and at least two million have been recorded.
Compare Ning Hao...
It's quite proud.
If "Thai Embarrassment" really hits, his salary will be a bit difficult to calculate...
After all, Xu Zheng is not a pure director, he also has his own company.
We'll talk about that then.
......
The third master also came.
"Nightclub" and "People in Embarrassment", both dramas exploded!
Produced by Orange Images, produced by Lu Xiaoran, and then tapped a new director, this model was gradually accepted by the market.
Orange Imaging has three new films, "Time and Space Love Traveler", directed by Lu Xiaoran, "Big Man", directed by Yang Qing, "Scorching Sun", directed by Cao Baoping...
The third master is very sensitive to the fact that this is a new circle prototype...
It's just that they are still relatively immature and have not formed a dominant force.
Once dominance is formed, this force is very powerful!
However, he didn't care much about it, back then, he stepped on the so-called Beijing circle.
It doesn't matter what circle you have, it's not okay to shoot randomly!
"Third Master, you're here!"
"Well," Han Sanping looked at Lu Xiaoran: "I read the script of the new movie, it's very good!"
“... It's a little worse in terms of art..."
"Film is an industry, not a philanthropy, and it has to be rewarded. Even if you are a career, without an audience, your career will not be successful. You say that if I build a library and no one comes to it, and if I build a park and no one enters, is this a success? The elderly in the welfare home do not want to stay, and the public school does not want to come, is this called success? No one watches the movie, but my art is of a very high grade, and I don't think this thing can be said to be a success. They can't understand this movie, but the art is very high, can this thing be equated? I doubt it very much. If a movie has no box office and no audience, it has no vitality. At the same time, we also need to continuously improve our artistic, technical and industrial production level, which is an eternal task for our Chinese filmmakers."
Lu Xiaoran paused for a moment...
Han Sanping continued: "Mount Tai is not piled up, the train is not pushed, and the is not blown, this must have hard indicators." What is the hard metric? Of course, winning awards is also an indicator, and in comparison, the box office is more important to the industry. Therefore, we say that the current Chinese movie is the box office king!"
"But... But art is also very important, the film industry..."
"We now want to compete with Hollywood movies for the market, and we have to use the box office to speak! Increasing our market share is the key to our success or failure. ”
After saying a lot, the third master patted Lu Xiaoran on the shoulder: "You told me that your new movie, are you sure that it will achieve a box office of 300 million?"
"Huh?"
300 million...
Lu Xiaoran wants to break 100 million...
"From the perspective of development, last year's 100 million, this year's 100 million? Last year's box office was 100 million, and this year's box office should probably be 200 million or 300 million, and this is called development. ”
"I... I tried my best..."
It's too difficult, the box office of "Time and Space Traveler" is 300 million...
What do you think?
"Okay, I won't delay you anymore," the third master chatted for ten minutes, ready to leave, and suddenly remembered something: "Do you have time in two days?"
Lu Xiaoran's heart moved: "You say?"
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China..."
"It's my duty!"
"Okay, let Lao Huang contact you then!"
......
Lao Huang is Huang Jianxin!
Director of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China".
However, the operator of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is indeed Han Sanye.
How to describe "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China"? In a word: Uncle Han will listen to the order and have seen the uncle!
The third master can have today's status, in addition to the creation of the times, it is also his own vision, back then, the desperate Feng pants were appreciated by Han Sanping, with "Party A and Party B", and there were New Year's files.
From 01 to 14 years, Chinese films officially entered the Sanping era!
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" was originally a gift project of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, and the leaders of radio and television suggested that Sanye himself be the director.
The third master found his old buddy Huang Jianxin, and the two worked together.
Sanye and Lao Huang are classmates of the 83rd class of Beiying Level 3 Director Refresher.
Or roommates.
It is said that when the third master found Lao Huang, he was in Hong Kong to attend the cross-strait filmmakers conference, and also helped Chen Kexin supervise the production of "October Siege".
When Lao Huang was young, he dared to make any movie, "Black Cannon Incident", "Back to Back, Face to Face"...
"Back to Back, Face to Face" Douban 9.4 distraction, a work that satirizes the bureaucratic culture of the organs!
When I received this task, I was a little confused...
In fact, they are really not interested in the theme of gifts, and they are both interested in the main theme of commercial operations like "October Siege"!
It's a bit overwhelming...
Director Kai Geda made a suggestion: there is only one way for this kind of project to succeed, and that is to borrow from the all-star cast of the "World War II" blockbuster "The Longest Day". You have all the roles played by celebrities, even if it's just one line.
That's a good suggestion...
But what about the salary?
It should be at the end of last year, the third master celebrated his mother's birthday, and his mother's words woke him up: all children give congratulatory gifts for their mother's birthday, how can any child want his mother to pay a salary?
Zhang Guoli, who was confirmed to play Chang Kaishen, first promised to star with zero pay, and the domino effect was born...
Later, there was such a joke, during the filming of "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", the stars greeted each other like this: ""The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", have you acted it?"
So much so that after the movie was released, Chen Kexin said after watching it that a "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" used up the actors he wanted to use all his life...
Photographed the Presidential Palace, where the battle of crossing the river, cleared all tourists, and photographed the Shanghai Association for Science and Technology, which protected the building, and directly bombed away a unit that worked here.
None of this can be measured by money!
This is the production of national mobilization!
Lu Xiaoran has been waiting for the call, it is an honor to be able to star in "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic"...
Therefore, Lu Xiaoran has no reason to refuse.
Even if you play a soy sauce man and a dragon suit, it can be regarded as political correctness!
......
After the celebration banquet ended, Lu Xiaoran still had Tangtang to go home.
"Lao Cai asked me to participate in the promotion of "Sword and Fairy III"..."
"Is "Sword and Fairy III" going to be broadcast?"
"Well, it should start broadcasting in May!"
"Then I'll go back in May, the TV series hasn't been on the stars yet, what kind of thing is being promoted?"
Tangtang hesitated: "Then how can I refuse her?"
"...How did you prepare the script for "Time and Space Traveler"?"
"I'm well prepared!"
"Alright, let's turn it on next week..."
"Next week, so soon, don't you have to prepare?"
“... It's all ready-made, I've already talked to Song Xiaofei about this script, he serves as an assistant director and cinematography..."
Talking about this, Lu Xiaoran's mobile phone suddenly vibrate...
"Your phone is ringing!"
“... I know, damn it, who!"
Well, it's Huang Jianxin, so that he had better rush to Shanghai in three days, he wants to play Kong Lingkan...
