Chapter 51: The Tool Director (1/5)
Investing in a film itself is a commercial activity, and someone has to pay for a project before it can be operated.
The crew, if someone gives money, everyone has a job, and if no one gives money, everyone can only stay...
It's as simple as that.
From this point of view, Da Tian Tian is not black...
The resources are brought by others, even if she makes up the movie, these resources will not automatically flow to other actors...
It is not about bad money driving out good money.
Someone on the Internet said: Eh, how good it would be if Da Tian Tian liked football!
As for acting, actor Scum Hui has something to say: If there are too many bad movies, there will still be acting skills!
No matter what, my Da Tian Tian also stares at my sister, and people are as light as chrysanthemums and much stronger!
……
On January 29, the Oscar nominations were announced, and "Gravity" won eight nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress...
And, of course, the best foreign language film...
Seeing the nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, it can basically be concluded that "Gravity" has missed a series of awards...
It's like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" back then...
The only possible thing is probably the best photography, the best visuals...
On February 22nd, Lu Xiaoran was not in a hurry, the company's propagandists pretended not to know the situation, completely ignored the definition of 'Sino-US co-production', and shamelessly boasted that 'this is the first time for a Chinese film'...
Then it was sold to Tencent Video at a price of 68 million, and it was sold to a movie channel at a record price of 18 million, and more than 20 local satellite TV also sold a sky-high price of 1.5 million...
It's really sky-high, and the price of the general broadcast right is around 1 million-3 million.
In the past few years, the country has begun to attach importance to copyright, and 10 years ago, none of the local stations were not infringing on the broadcast of movies...
Although the surrounding authorization is working hard to develop, but the results are not great, there are only 12 authorizations in the mainland, concentrated in postcards, stationery boxes, handbags or something, the licensing income is only less than 40 million, the authorization in North America is only preliminarily involved, but there are more than 30 projects available for development, and the authorization fee of 18 million US dollars has been won in North America alone...
It can only be said that the environment on both sides is not the same...
How much money does Gravity really make?
Anyway, the first batch of accounts is 308 million US dollars, deducting the cost of 150 million US dollars, and 80 million yuan is invested in publicity, and the first batch of pure box office revenue alone is 78 million US dollars...
And then there's almost $100 million in various copyright revenues...
No wonder Hollywood has to play big productions, big productions can make big money!
By the way, Lu Xiaoran approved a budget for "Hong Kong Embarrassment" some time ago, with a production fund of 130 million, of which Xu Guangtou alone has a remuneration of 58 million.
18 million yuan for the director, 10 million yuan for the producer, 10 million yuan for the screenwriter and 20 million yuan for the actors, a total of 58 million...
Is this a high pay?
It must be high, in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, only Xu Guangtou can get so much money from before the production of a movie, but you have to say, is it worth it?
It's definitely worth it, as long as "Hong Kong Embarrassment" passes, it's not a problem to get 1 billion...
Lu Xiaoran still approved...
Of course, this money is counted in the production cost, and it is not directly given ...
In other words, Xu Guangtou didn't pay a dime, accounting for nearly half of the account...
……
The actors are performing very well, the crew is running fast and smooth, what does the director need to do?
It's better for the director not to do anything, don't domine the enthusiasm of the actors...
Director Lu himself is an actor debut, although his performance is not superb, but he finally touched a little, a group of good actors get together, there will really be chemistry!
Brother Bo later said in an interview: You play with a good actor, and you feel that your heart is connected. Even if it was painful, it was a particularly pleasant communication. You know what she's doing, and I give it back, and she knows it. Everyone filled up the play.
The so-called pressure drama is just a situation that I worried about beforehand, and it is a kind of self-doubt.
Acting is never a solo person, it's a mutual fulfillment!
It is how much effort you give, and the other party can come back in time, so that you feel comfortable!
Of course, this situation divides people, some actors, you try your best to lower yourself according to his level, and then the other party's feedback is only staring, staring, staring...
What can you do?
Therefore, you will be able to burst out your creative passion when you meet a good talent, give you a Gong Li, and then give you a Yang Tianbao, don't use Yang Tianbao, give you a Guo Fucheng, and you will also be pressed to the point - in the paragraph of "Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", Guo Yingdi is really clumsy in front of Gong Li, who is full of aura...
Now I'm going to shoot the scene where Bo Ge's emotions burst out...
On the night that Peng Peng was found, the three of them left the police station, Huang Bo was emotional, and he couldn't hold back anymore, crying and wailing...
The camera was given to the trio first, coming down the stairs, Hao Lei and Zhang Yi walked in front, and Huang Bo walked behind...
First a big close-up, he squatted down, and then began to sob, at first there was no sound, slowly sobbing sounded, the camera focused on that face, snot and tears covered that face, and then the camera zoomed out, Hao Lei and Zhang Yi looked at him, only crying was left outside the camera...
Brother Bo really has life experience, and the Tian Wenjun he plays is a typical low-level little person...
He likes to ponder, from the very beginning, it is said that when filming "Get in the Car and Let's Go", he often acted and acted, he shouted to stop, and then said to the director, "I don't think the acting is good, I want to repeat it." ’
It's okay once or twice, but it's too many times, and the bluff is also on fire, 'I'm the director, only I can shout stop!'
Of course, in the current situation, who dares to say to Huang Bo, 'I am the director, only I can shout stop'...
Lu Xiaoran would not say such a thing.
In fact, why can an actor like Huang Bo succeed?
Why can he get a salary of 60 million?
The main reason is irreplaceable, the role he plays, you don't think it's okay to go up whoever you change!
Therefore, even if Huang Bo, Shen Teng, and Wu Jing are very expensive, no one thinks that they are unreasonable, but if those traffic factions take so much money, you feel that it is inappropriate, because their roles can be changed to anyone!
The reason why a top actor is a top actor is because of this irreplaceability!
From this point of view, even if the sect leader has "Heroes of Fire", it is fair to say that his role will not be able to play if he changes Nie Yuan, Deng Chao, and Liu Ye?
"Okay, it's over..."
Tool director Lu Xiaoran was distracted for dozens of seconds, and then applauded daily: "Very good!"
The assistant hurriedly stepped forward to help Huang Bo...
The part just now mobilized the strength of his whole body, and he lost his energy...
"After filming tomorrow, I'll take a leave of absence!"
“… Want to promote "Tang Detective"?"
"Well, run a roadshow for a few days!"
The lion fights the rabbit and still does his best, even if he knows that "Tang Detective" is invincible in the Spring Festival, and the publicity work that should be done, Lu Xiaoran will still not fall behind...
Assistant director Zhou Quan asked: "Is the crew going to pause?"
“… No, you just star. ”
