Chapter 585: The filming location and salary of "Dragon Gate Inn".
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
"Second ball, you have to have a little bit of egg pain, you have to think about it, you ?!! collapse! If you make more trouble, I'll find you......"
The big man in northern Shaanxi wearing a dogskin hat grabbed the naughty egg of one of the bears, slapped the ass egg, and cursed a few words.
A few loach-like bear children grabbed a handful of candy and scattered.
These bear children are all children of the Western Film Studio, and this time to shoot a movie, there are shots of children in need, 5 yuan per person a day, and seven or eight ......
At that time, it was said that the wages would be paid, so that many employees of the Western Film Studio rushed to participate! No way, this salary is higher than the salary of the adults in the factory!
At this time. Gong Li's salary for filming "Red Sorghum" is only more than 200 yuan. In this era, actors are really no different from workers, they are all just one job, and they are not as glamorous as later generations.
Even if she later filmed films such as "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit" and "Ju Dou", her salary was only tens of thousands of yuan, and the highest was only tens of thousands. The highest is "Farewell My Concubine", and after winning the award, the local government also rewarded her with a suite. Gong Li was so happy...... I feel like I've reached the top of my life.
After 93 years, he went to Hong Kong Island to shoot "Tang Bohu Dots Autumn Fragrance", and Gong Li became the first actress in China with a film salary of 1 million.
She is also the first actress in the mainland to break through one million advertisements, Midea Air Conditioner spent 1.5 million to ask her to shoot advertisements that year, and at that time, the newspapers in the circle went crazy Gong Li looked back and smiled and was worth millions~ It's just a cow B is broken, forked waist!
So......
Can you imagine what it felt like Gong Huang to see Wu Tuhao waving a check on Hong Kong Island?
It's just unimaginable!!
In the drama "Longmen Inn", Wu Xiaozu did not lose her...... gave a salary of 100,000 yuan.
Gong Li was frightened, and even took the initiative to report to the leader~
In the final analysis, she is now just a simple 36D female student who has just left school, and she has not graduated in parentheses.
Although plump and attractive, after all, she is still a young sister-in-law, even if she is eager to start a spring for Xiao Mouzi, but she just hasn't really seen the rest of the talented directors......
For example, a humble jade bone who is enthusiastic and polite, respectful and very considerate to her, and a gentleman of the ancients, surnamed Dunhou director (*^▽^*) Wu~
People are better than people, goods are better than goods.
Gong Huang can be regarded as opening his eyes to see the world. After all, compared to getting married...... Director Wu, who is also talented, must be more in line with the image of the girl Huaichun, right??
Rich, beautiful and considerate~ At first glance, he is a self-contained person!
The impact of money is incomparably huge!
At this time, the remuneration of mainland actors is not comparable to that of Hong Kong Island stars, don't mention it!
Don't talk about Gong Li!
Even if she is the first actress in China, Grandma Liu, who is famous all over the country, is very low.
A few years ago, the filming of big heroines such as "Listening to Politics with a Curtain" and "Burning the Old Summer Palace" can be said to have a huge impact on the mainland, Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia, and the box office is also very hot, but in fact, I didn't take a penny.
Because she is an employee of Beijing Film Studio, her monthly salary is 50 yuan. Up to 4 cents per day of filming......
It wasn't until she started performing in the cave that she earned her first goal in life - 50,000 yuan! At that time, it was all gross tickets, and there was no place to put them, so she stuffed them in sweaters, jeans, and used the hotel's pillow suits to fill up...... You can imagine what it was like at that time.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Grandma Liu, who was born in a red child, will choose to abandon art and go to the sea in two years... Ahem... Got into business. Started the entrepreneurial road of a generation of legendary businesswomen, and raised 5 billion ~ in three years
It's a pity that the empress was imprisoned for more than 400 days before starting a business.
Seriously, it's not as simple as tax evasion......
However, it can also be seen from here that it is really easy for celebrities to do business at this time!
It's really easy to cheat money, circle money, and cheat money!
This time, in "Longmen Inn", Wu Xiaozu did not learn from Li Hei's sharing system in "Listening to Politics with a Curtain".
At the very least, the mainland and Hong Kong Island are treated equally in terms of clothing, food, housing and transportation.
Of course, there is definitely no way to be exactly the same in terms of salary, and it is impossible for Wu Xiaozu to break this economic status quo, if you really want to do this...... Someone will talk to him!, but the right balance is definitely necessary.
On the Hong Kong Island side of the crew, Liang Jiahui and Aunt Lin are both paid 1.8 million, an absolute friendship price, this friendship is not for Wu Xiaozu, but for the co-production to save face.
Hu Yinmeng's salary is 450,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is not high. The other party's salary in Wanwan is higher than this. Wu Zhenyu is paid 350,000 yuan, which is also a friendship price. Brother Pheasant is still very popular now......
Jin Shijie, Liu Xun, Gu Feng, these old drama bones are basically about 100,000 yuan, which is considered high. But there is no way, when you come to the mainland to shoot, you have to be a little higher.
In the mainland, Li Lianjie has the highest salary, reaching 150,000 Hong Kong dollars. He signed a five-year contract with the company for 10 dramas, and the basic amount reached 150,000, which will rise accordingly. The other party is also very satisfied.
Some people may think that this number is high, but in fact, when the other party just finished filming "Shaolin Temple", someone was willing to give him a large salary! Unfortunately, at that time, he belonged to the martial arts team and could not take on private work.
When he was in "Shaolin Temple", he received a subsidy of one dollar a day, filmed for nearly two years, and received more than 700 subsidies. "Shaolin Kid" costs 2 yuan a day, and "North and South Shaolin" costs 3 yuan a day, and the salary is not as high as the dragon set...... At that time, there was quite a lot of commotion, and at that time, it cost 50 yuan a day for Hong Kong Island to play a dead body
For this reason, Li Lianjie specially asked director Liu Jialiang to increase the salary in the mainland, but if he didn't agree, he wouldn't act...... Then-mainland actors found him, and they didn't want him to stand up for them, and they could act for three yuan a day, which was better than no filming...... makes Li Lianjie really not a person inside and out.
This situation was also encountered by Grandma Liu at that time.
The rest is Gong Li's 100,000 yuan, and Xiong Xinxin, Ji Chunhao and others are also paid tens of thousands.
A balance of remuneration is absolutely necessary!
Others can ignore this matter, but Director Wu, who is determined to be the "film conscience" of the Chinese, will definitely intervene.
At the very least, it shouldn't be too different.
At the very least, you have to leave a good name, right?
The main ...... This drama is not paid for by him!
The investment in this drama is expected to be 35 million Hong Kong dollars. In terms of fund composition, Wu Xiaozu Film Foundation invested 25 million Hong Kong dollars.
This money is an investment pulled from E7 Culture, and the rate of return remains above normal financial products, and what the other party cares about is not a small profit, but a name!
As long as "Dragon Gate Inn" has a strong response, what is the little benefit return brought by this 25 million?
Yindu Institution invested 8 million Hong Kong dollars, and Western Film Studio invested 2 million Hong Kong dollars.
Therefore, there is no need for Wu Xiaozu to be harsh on the actor's salary, it is not good for him? At the same time, his salary is converted and shared, and he enjoys the box office share.
Now, Wu Xiaozu has been offered 5 million Hong Kong dollars to open a film. Naturally, he couldn't ask for this drama, and he reluctantly asked for a salary of 2 million~
The cost of the actors of this drama is about 5.5 million to 6 million, and the staff is also between 2.5 million and 3 million.
In other words, the movie has not yet been made, and 8.5 million to 9 million has already been spent. Fortunately, the mainland has sufficient purchasing power, otherwise 35 million may not be possible!
However, all three parties are very confident.
Wu Xiaozu's own box office appeal is enough! Not to mention the mainland box office......
In terms of sponsorship, Wu Xiaozu has already asked people to contact several domestic wineries...... I don't know if those standard kings in the past few years have money to sponsor at this point in time, and whether they have such great courage.
The balance of remuneration can also avoid many troubles.
The mainland employees are relatively improved, which is really within the system, for example, the employees of the Western Film Studio have no way to pay for the film, and Wu Xiaozu also gives some subsidies in disguise, thinking about giving a TV set to the family after filming, etc., it is estimated that it is ...... Wu Xiaozu will become the No. 1 tyrant in the mainland film industry!
He's not pretending to be big, he's really big!
Wu Xiaozu just wants to let all mainland filmmakers know: I, Wu Xiaozu, am rich!
This amount of money is really not worth mentioning to Wu Yiyi, but it can gain a good reputation.
The fact that he was able to get people from the Foreign Economic Cooperation Commission and the Ministry of Culture to come forward in person is enough to see that the central government attaches great importance to himself, a "new generation of Chinese film directors."
The four words of international fame may not be terrible, but with Chinese compatriots, it is really limitless. Perhaps, in the eyes of the high-level management, I am afraid that it is a few levels stronger than Zhang Yimou, who also won the award~
Otherwise, there would be more than a dozen of the old liberation 141 faction of the military brand!
It's not surprising to think about it, when the central government supported Li Hei in filming "Listening to Politics with a Curtain", those props were really antiques. Grandma Liu was really sitting on Cixi's antique chair......
Li Hei was still a member of the CPPCC of a certain province in Northeast China at this time, and he personally named himself as a 'consultant' in this play, bringing in Wu Xiaozu, an "international director", and it is normal for the mainland to pay attention to it.
In fact, this is also the reason why Wang Shiyan hooked up with a relationship.
In this era, at this time, you can't treat a 'Chinese business card' like Wu Xiaozu as an ordinary director, or even no less than some patriotic businessmen who invest in the mainland. Politics and the times dictate the giving of many relationships.
In Li Heizi's words, Wu Xiaozu, you are the world-famous 'horse bone'.
Not to mention that this horse bone is not alone, it has companies and influence on Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia.
The mainland's daughter buys horse bones, of course, he can also buy horse bones for these filmmakers in the mainland!
At least these filmmakers in the mainland will be the first to want to make a movie in the future, and it will be enough to think of him!
Those art films have a market abroad... Besides, he can pull investment!
……
Lin Qingxia leaned in front of the desert-colored hard-core Arrow 240 jeep covered in sand, with a lace-up shirt and jeans, and leather boots, smiling and looking at the vast and lively camp not far away.
The yellow sand is swept in the wind, and the hair flutters.
The eyes behind the sunglasses were only staring at the figure in the crowd, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed, slightly puzzled.
If she doesn't have doubts, it's hard for her to overlap the handsome and handsome director Wu Da in Hong Kong with the old farmer dressed as someone in front of her.
"Poof—"
Behind him, Hu Yinmeng laughed directly.
In the middle of the yellow sand, 7 or 8 sky-blue dilapidated old Jiefang 141 trucks were parked not far away, and there were more than 10 dark green old Jiefang CA141 trucks parked on the other side, but the car pocket was covered with a green curtain, and the license plate of the local military region was also hung.
Far away, you can feel the noise and heat, and yellow cranes, excavators and platform trucks are also standing on the side.
“…… Bang bang ......"
Director Wu wears a yellow sunshade fishing hat on his head, a camouflage jacket pulled up to his neck, a swarthy and rough face with a scruffy beard, and a 'red panda' on his thirsty and skiny lips← this is Director Wu's status in the mainland...... (`へ′*)ノ!
Sitting on an outdoor folding chair, cross-legged, holding two dirty yellow rubber shoes back and forth, dusty...... Not to mention the taste!
"This hanging ball heaven!"
Wu Xiaozu squinted his eyes and scolded, turned around and shouted to Ye Weixin, who was directing the engineering team to repair the low wall not far away, "Ashin, let everyone collect the work for Lao Tzu, and estimate that it will ......rain on the day of the hanging ball."
Ye Weixin was unmoved.
The staff of the state-owned West Film Studio next to him looked at Wu Xiaozu with a black face, and hurriedly used his elbow to slap Ye Weixin, who was shouting with a gray face, and pointed to the back.
“?”
Ye Weixin looked back and didn't know why.
"!"
Wu Xiaozu scolded, and then he reacted, his accent was not understood by the other party!
It's been more than a week, and the money has flowed out, but a scene hasn't been filmed yet!
There's no way!
I thought it would be smooth, but when I arrived, I realized how hard the shooting was.
Transportation is a huge problem.
If it weren't for Wu Tianming's help, Wu Xiaozu really wouldn't even be able to hire a car!
You can't even have money!
Those sky-blue old Liberation 141 are the vehicles used by the local grain station. At this time, the granary will not easily catch fire......
The later military vehicles were also greeted by the Western Film Studio.
From here, it can be seen that Wu Tianming's connections are coming.
Personnel placement, three meals and accommodation, personnel deployment, project progress...... A series of questions revolve around Wu Xiaozu.
This is the most tedious preparation for Wu Xiaozu to date.
Before the survey, several scenery in Ningxia and Gansu were selected, and Wu Xiaozu finally decided on several locations in the northwest section of Jiayu Pass, the Lai River, Dunhuang Yumen Pass, and Yangguan, involving many places in the Hexi Corridor. But in the end, the filming location was still set on the side of Jiayuguan.
The main reason is that the road conditions and traffic are good, which is convenient for the transportation of materials and camping.
Looking at the vast wasteland and Gobi in the northwest, there is really a feeling of desert solitude~ Wu Xiaozu really likes this feeling of barrenness, but the desert does not have this sense of historical roughness.
The loess is flying, and not far away are the mounds of the old times, with towering slopes on both sides and gravel dirt roads in the middle.
Local cadres and fellow villagers set up tractors and horse-drawn carts to go this way. Inside are vegetables, meat and drinking water.
Zhao Fei and Gu Changwei, the two mainland cameramen, plus Huang Yuetai and Pan Yusheng, were on the tractor, and they were upside down......
Zhao Fei is the cameraman brought in by Gu Changwei to help, and he happens to be the photographer of the Western Film Studio at this time, so it is very convenient to bring in.
Later generations are also famous, and they are very self-styled videographers in the 78th class, of course, they have not really emerged at this time.
If he really wants to be famous internationally, he still has to wait for Xiao Mouzi's "The Red Lantern Hangs High".
The two mainland photographers curled up with their expressions as usual. Huang Yuetai and Pan Yusheng really felt scattered, and their whole bodies seemed to fall apart......
The tractor shook out a song of ordinary disco ordinary shake feeling!
"Brother Zu—"
Ye Weixin trotted over.
"Tell everyone to finish work early, just now the person from the weather station called Director Wu and said that there might be rain here! You go and find Consultant Chen and ask him where the car pulling the props is...... Let's see when the walkie-talkie we got from Hong Kong Island will arrive...... Now communication is basically by roaring!"
"Good!"
Ye Weixin trotted onto a Yangtze River 750 sidecar motorcycle, and compared with the driver with a half-baked Hong Kong Pubi, and then saw the 'sidecar' suddenly driving towards Chen Kaige, who was recruiting dragon tricks not far away, with black smoke...... As a representative of the mainland, Brother Kai has a long way to go, and he is even more tired than him filming "Yellow Earth......
It's as if he had a magical power with the Great Sage-
The motorcyclist is also a master, he doesn't slow down when he turns, and he flies up directly on one side, and he can see Ye Weixin sitting in the shoulder, and his whole body is like drinking Hongmao medicinal wine......
“……”
The smell of diesel fuel in the sky~ Wu Xiaozu wiped his face casually with the gray hand towel next to him, and his face suddenly turned black-
"Which one lacks virtue to hang the ball thing, Ge Lao Tzu's towel to wipe his feet!!"
In the tent next to him, Liang Jiahui, who was sitting opposite each other and was sitting in the next period, shrunk his long legs and hid his feet. Chen Daoming, a chess friend opposite Si Wenwen, lowered his head and laughed.
He has been here for several days, and he can be regarded as finding out Director Wu's temperament.
This great director is different from many mainland directors, and he is also different from director Li Hanxiang.
"I don't know when the shooting will start~" Liang Jiahui looked at the chessboard with a frown as he Gangpu.
Chen Daoming pinched the white son slightly, and said softly and indifferently: "I heard from Director Kai Ge that it will be next Monday at the earliest." However, the actors who filmed in the early stage of the two days should also be ......"
In fact, it is impossible to get the actors together to shoot again, basically it is just a matter of whose actor comes. Nowhere did it say that an actor would be consumed there if he had a play or not...... At this time, it is easy to say in the mainland, after all, it is a job, and the identity is also an actor, not a star.
It is basically impossible to ......... on Hong Kong Island Forehead...... Wang sunglasses don't count.
The filming of "East Evil and West Poison" is really boiling those big stars...... gave Liang Jiahui a big eye......
Wu Xiaozu also had a luxury this time.
Many actors have to enter early to experience the atmosphere and mood of the play.
If you say that you are busy and don't have so much time, it doesn't matter, Director Wu is not short of one or two of your roles.
In this case, the mainland actors in this period are absolutely reliable! Even many people do it as a political task, and they must not make it difficult for Hong Kong Island compatriots to do it!
It must not affect the relationship between the compatriots in the two places!
In addition to the vigorous cooperation of the West Film Studio, the Huaxia Film Co-production Company, the Huaxia Film Equipment Company, and the Imperial Capital Film Processing and Recording Technology Factory all gave the greatest support! These units later became a well-known giant - China Film!
This drama may not matter, but this cooperation has really entered the eyes of many elites.
At the very least, a lot of news and content from Yindu Organization and Hong Kong Island Xinhua News Agency have made some people value Wu Xiaozu, a young Chinese director who is both patriotic and has international influence.
Wu Xiaozu felt something...... But the more this happens, the more he has to make movies well. 8)
