Chapter 68: Taking Stock (3/5)
Zhang Junsheng still thinks that Liu Yifei is not suitable from the bottom of his heart...
However, this girl has never come to the audition, and he is reluctant to take the initiative to contact her for the sake of face, so he can only choose...
Disney's choice of a real-life princess heroine has one obvious thing in common, one word, beauty.
"Maleficent" chose Elle Fanning, a family of artists, and a Hollywood resource flower - of course, now disabled...
After "Cinderella", Lily James was chosen, and the Rose Lady of "Downton Abbey"...
"Beauty and the Beast" chose Emma Watson...
Regardless of whether the plot is old-fashioned, at least no one thinks there is a problem with the casting!
And people must have thought it all over!
Otherwise, why not use Liu Chengyu?
The girl's debut work is "Gong Shou Dao", she has some Chinese ancestry, looks Chinese enough, is very fluent in English, taekwondo reaches a black belt, and is still the apprentice of kung fu actress Michelle Yeoh.
There's an egg with...
How much traffic do you think she can bring to the movie if she acts, and how many viewers will pull out their wallets and walk into the cinema for them?
After "Tang Detective 2", various press releases secretly stepped on Liu Yifei...
What's the point?
Everyone is in the group!
……
The end of the year is approaching, and the major inventories are coming out.
Yuehua has once again dominated the headlines!
The top five box office "The Wandering Earth", "All-channel Blocking and Interference", "Notes on Tomb Robbery", "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", "Operation Mekong"...
Five movies have won nearly 15 billion at the box office!
Strangely, the top three with the highest return on investment are "My Master Jiang Ziya 2", "Passing by Your World" and "Big Fish and Begonia".
"My Master Jiang Ziya 2" and "Big Fish and Begonia" are all animation films produced by Yuehua Animation, the former won a box office result of 890 million with a production cost of 55 million, with a net box office income of 240 million, and the latter won a box office result of 560 million with a production cost of 65 million, with a net box office income of 121 million;
In addition, "Donkey Gets Water" also won a net box office income of 115 million;
Yuehua also has several small-budget movies, such as "Mr. High Heels", "July and Ansheng", "The Murderer Chaser", "A Smile is Alluring", and they have all won a lot of return on investment...
In these years, it is already very good to be able to recover the cost through the box office!
Not to mention the five films "The Wandering Earth", "All-channel Blocking and Interference", "Tomb Robbery Notes", "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits", and "Operation Mekong", the cumulative box office revenue in the mainland alone has reached 2.6 billion...
The overseas data has not yet been counted, but the amount that has been received is 790 million US dollars, excluding 390 million US dollars in promotion expenses, and the net income is more than 400 million US dollars...
Of course, there are also losses, such as "The Sword of the Third Young Master", "My Name is MT: The Battle of Yamaguchi", "Fruit Agent", "Little Door God", "Hide and Seek" and "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic" The five dramas lost nearly 180 million...
There's no way around this thing, you can't make movies all the time!
Fortunately, several big pitfalls have been avoided, such as "Happy New Year", "Warcraft", "New York, New York"...
Yuehua Media's net profit still leads the entertainment sector!
And compared with last year, the net profit has more than doubled, mainly because the derivatives licensing fee has reached 1.3 billion...
In the middle of the year, the "Supplementary Regulations to the Film Industry Promotion Law" was promulgated, reducing the number of approved items and lowering the entry threshold, and at the same time expressly prohibiting film distribution enterprises and movie theaters from deceiving and misleading audiences by improper means such as creating false transactions and falsely reporting sales revenue.
Once the legislation is enacted, there is a law to follow!
The biggest feature of Yuehua this year is that Zhang Junsheng has not released a single movie, and he still firmly occupies the leading position!
By the way, the top 10 loss-making movies are also out!
The first place is, of course, "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff", with a production cost of 60 million US dollars, even if it gets a 30% tax refund, it will cost 42 million US dollars, which is converted to 280 million yuan, and the box office is less than 40 million, deducting distribution and publicity expenses, almost all of them are lost!
Zheng Jun really did his best to give his son an anime dream...
In addition to "Rock and Roll Tibetan Mastiff", the ranking has become the world of Wanda and Toyo Media, "Warrior's Gate", "Fast Pistol, Fast Gunner", "Ferryman", "Legend of the Gods"...
Yuehua also has two dramas on the list, "Little Door God" and "The Sword of the Third Young Master", the former has a production cost of 70 million and a box office of only 65 million, and the latter has a cost of 80 million and a box office of 130 million...
In addition, the North American box office of "Billy Lynn's Halftime Fight" is miserable, and the box office of "The History of the Disappearance of Romantic" can't bear to look at it directly...
Even Uncle Nose's "Railway Flying Tiger" is at a loss...
250 million investment, under the influence of "All Channel Blocking Interference", the box office did not reach 700 million...
……
Generally speaking, the casting of the crew will be handed over to the casting director...
For some reasons, most of Yuehua's casting directors are aunts.
I don't mean anything else, I just don't want to tell the truth!
The other characters are almost selected, and now they are short of the female number one.
The audition venue is in the big dance room of Yuehua Media, and this time it is open to all artists.
Yuehua Media has an unspoken rule that is hated by outside artists, and the protagonists and important supporting roles of their film and television dramas are always only provided for their own artists.
Originally, it was understandable, after all, other entertainment companies are like this, they have good resources and good roles, of course, think about their own artists first.
But Yuehua buckled the rope, and the number of roles leaked was much less than that of other entertainment companies.
Finally, this time "Mulan" is different, Zhang Junsheng is ready to use newcomers...
"Teacher, can you watch what I just played? ”
It's Guan Xiaotong...
Her agent has a good relationship with Sister Mei, and this time she recommended it...
Zhang Junsheng didn't raise his head, and Zhang Huajie, the photographer of "Mulan", who was sitting next to him, said: "... Okay, you go back and wait for the news, and we will notify you as soon as we decide. ”
"Thank you, teacher..."
Guan Xiaotong's face darkened, she was not a rookie, of course she understood the meaning of her words, and she couldn't help but feel a little lost.
When the girl left, Zhang Huajie was a little painful: "Why don't you say something!"
“… Say what?"
"Save some face for others! After all, she is still a girl..."
"Come on, this girl was selected for "The Wandering Earth" before, and she couldn't stand the training camp and left by herself, so what do you think I will give her a second chance?
"Then why did you let her audition?"
“… I just want to see how she works for nothing!"
“… You've won, call the next one!"
"Hello teacher, my name is Li Qin, and I have starred in "Dream of Red Mansions" and "White Deer Plain"..."
Yo, it's Miss Qin...
Zhang Junsheng looked up: "... You're not fit for the role, your looks are too soft!"
