Chapter 414: It's a Big Loss
If the mentality is stabilized, the working state will be better.
Although Lin Zhehua was hit by Chen Hui again, he was not depressed again, but continued to actively work hard to act, and his work attitude was not to be said, it can be said that he was very dedicated.
The acting skills are not enough, and the attitude is to make up.
If you don't have enough talent, work hard to make it up.
In fact, there are many people who usually work hard to the point where they can compete with others, but they begin to complain that they are not talented enough, and this mentality is quite ridiculous.
At least you are conscientious and work hard, and then you still can't compare to others, so you can say that there is a gap in talent, which is understandable.
And many people don't work hard to do their job at all, but they also start to complain about their lack of talent, which is purely making excuses for their laziness.
Lin Zhehua is definitely not such a person.
Whether it's singing or acting, he has done his best, so, to a certain extent, he really does his diligence to make up for his shortcomings.
Based on this alone, his development path in the future will certainly not be too bad.
……
After the filming of the important scenes of the rooftop duel, the filming progress of the crew of "Infernal Affairs" has been faster and smoother, so far, some important plot scenes have almost been filmed, and with the cooperation of Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao, the progress of the crew has even moved forward a little.
In this way, you can leave more time for the post-production of the film, and at the same time, there is room to check and fill in the gaps, and the quality of the final product of the whole film will be more guaranteed.
And with the progress of filming, many people in the crew are gradually optimistic about the film "Infernal Affairs".
Some important supporting roles and veteran actors occasionally talk about their views on this film in private.
Now most people think that this film will definitely be a good film, although everyone is sure at the box office in the end, but from the script, from the shooting site, from the attitude of the actors, directors, and crew, the quality of this film will be very high.
Especially some old actors, they are very experienced and have very vicious vision, what a crew looks like and what kind of movies can be made, generally they can roughly find out the bottom within a few days of joining the group, but sometimes they are also mixed food, and they don't say anything about it.
But now, almost everyone attaches great importance to the crew of "Infernal Affairs", because they instinctively feel that they seem to be involved in a masterpiece that is difficult to encounter, such an experience is not just as simple as eating with a mouth, once you grasp the opportunity, it is possible to double your worth several times!
Just like the actors in "Crazy Stone", after acting in the movie Stone, several protagonists, including several supporting roles, have become popular film and television actors, and many crew directors are rushing to ask for it, this is the change that a good show brings to the actors.
Therefore, now many people are also beginning to believe that "Infernal Affairs" also has this potential!
"Silly Qiang, how much box office do you think our film can have in the end?"
When they are in the crew, many actors will call each other by the names of their characters, which feels simpler and more convenient, and it is quite kind.
The actor of Silly Qiang is an actor brought by Liu Qiangwei from the southern entertainment industry, and his strength is not bad, at least he can reach the level of seven or eight points in Chen Feng's impression.
Although Silly Qiang has a low IQ in the movie, he is not stupid in reality.
"I can't tell...... However, I remember that before the release of "Crazy Stone", the director seemed to have said that he hoped for a box office of one billion, but in the end, "Crazy Stone" got a total box office of about 1.8 billion...... As for "Infernal Affairs"...... I think it's probably at least a billion......"
Listening to Silly Qiang's words, Lin Guoping's actor shook his head.
"Although I also think that the film "Infernal Affairs" should be very good, I always feel that there are a lot of literary dramas, and I don't know what the market feedback will be when it is released in the end......"
Silly Qiang thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily, literary drama can also be very good, haven't we all seen it?" Maybe the audience will like it too...... However, how much do you think this film will win at the box office?"
Lin Guoping smiled and said, "I think it's at least more than one billion......
"Cut...... Then you just shook your head......" Silly Qiang gave Lin Guoping a middle finger.
"Kidding you......"
"Be careful that I beat you!"
……
Just as the two actors were whispering in a low voice, Liu Qiangwei passed behind the two people with a cup of coffee.
Vaguely, Liu Qiangwei also heard the two of them guessing about the final box office of "Infernal Affairs".
Billion......
If the final box office of "Infernal Affairs" can reach one billion, then this film will be considered to be a big profit.
After all, the total investment of the film is only about 40 million in total, and the box office is one billion, and the producer can finally get about 400 million from the theater, which is almost ten times the investment.
It's really enviable.
If...... If he chose to get money according to the box office share of the movie, as a director, he should be able to get 2 percent, calculated according to the net profit, after deducting the production and publicity costs of the film and various tax expenses, he can almost get it in the end...... More than five million.
Five million against one and a half million!
It's a big loss.
However, Liu Qiangwei did not have any sad look on his face.
After all, when the contract was signed at that time, according to his requirements, the 1.5 million had already been called to him in advance.
This money has helped him solve some troubles at home, so now he can work with more peace of mind.
As for the more than five million that could be earned...... No amount of money can solve his urgent needs, so now he doesn't regret it much.
He's a man who can handle it.
However, the only thing that made him feel a little guilty was that Mai Zizhao only took 1.5 million under his influence, which was actually quite a loss for Mai Zizhao.
But Mai Zizhao is his own person after all, although there is a loss this time, he will definitely find a way to help him make up for it in the future.
Liu Qiangwei is a person, and he can still say that he can do what he thinks.
Of course, if the film "Infernal Affairs" can really get a box office of more than one billion, then his Liu Qiangwei's worth as a director will naturally rise, even if this film earns less, but in the future, his new film will have a higher voice and account sharing ratio, which is more meaningful.
Therefore, Liu Qiangwei's mentality is very stable and has not wavered in the slightest.
In any case, let's shoot the film first!
……
By mid-August, the Marché du Film was already buzzing.
The sci-fi blockbuster invested by Beidou Entertainment has already started to be promoted, and some related news reports often appear on the hot topic list.
The theme of science fiction films, although there are no excellent works in Chinese films, everyone knows that this theme actually has great potential and market, after all, every year there will be some imported imported science fiction films that crazy sweep away a lot of box office, and everyone is very jealous.
But everyone also knows that science fiction films are really difficult to shoot, with large investment and high risks, except for large entertainment companies like Beidou Entertainment that have the courage to invest in this theme, other companies or capital parties do not have this courage.
This time, the screenwriter of this sci-fi film of Beidou Entertainment invited Tian Ming, a well-known domestic sci-fi master, to create a new script by him.
Tian Ming is currently the only science fiction best-selling author in China, because of the niche nature of science fiction themes, most science fiction is not very out of the circle, only Tian Ming's works are currently very popular, and the sales are also very high, and they are widely circulated on the Internet.
However, although Tian Ming is now very famous, many of his works have been sold to other companies at a low price in his early years, so although he is popular now, the income from his works is not high.
This also made Tian Ming a little depressed.
But fortunately, some of the new works he wrote in recent years have sold at good prices, and this time, Beidou Entertainment directly asked him to be a screenwriter, and he also gave a high price.
With the name of Tian Ming, a science fiction master, Beidou Entertainment's science fiction film has a gimmick of publicity and promotion, and in recent times, Tian Ming and Beidou Entertainment have frequently appeared on the hot topic list.
Many readers and viewers are also looking forward to this.
After all, it is the first step of domestic large-scale sci-fi films, and everyone hopes that they can get off to a good start.
It's just that so far, there is still too little information exposed about this film, except for some conceptual things and some stills, there is no complete trailer for the time being.
But the more this is the case, the more interested some sci-fi fans and movie fans are in it, and many people even start to speculate about what the new film will look like this time directly from some of Tian Ming's previous works.
I have to say that the power of netizens is still very strong, after the analysis of some people, combined with the stills that have been exposed, I actually guessed the general type of the movie.
……
"This should be a science fiction movie of the interstellar voyage genre, according to a short story related to cosmic psychology written by Tian Ming six years ago, this time it is to continue this concept, and it is an exploration of the psychological anomalies in the process of human interstellar voyages......"
"This setting is very interesting, sci-fi + psychological + horror suspense...... It should be quite interesting. ”
"But I'm also a little worried, will the hard sci-fi part be weakened and become a psychological suspense film dressed in sci-fi?"
"Probably not, everyone looks at the spacesuit in the stills, the design is very precise, and it obviously has a scene in outer space. ”
"I hope this film can make a good start for Chinese science fiction movies!"
……
Chen Feng also browsed some related consultations, and Chen Feng still admires Beidou Entertainment's courage to try to shoot sci-fi films, after all, he also knows that sci-fi blockbusters are really not easy to shoot well, and there is also the possibility of hitting the street at the box office, for this kind of explorer, it is really admirable.
At the same time, Chen Feng also knows that with the development of the film market, the development of the film industry, and the development of science and technology and brokerage level, science fiction blockbusters may really become one of the more mainstream themes in the future.
I only hope that before this phenomenon comes, the practitioners of Chinese films can be prepared!
