Chapter 547: Recommended Heroine
The amount of an actor's salary is largely determined by the "market", and this so-called "market" is a combination of factors such as the economy of the general environment, the investment of films, the qualifications of actors, works, popularity, the ability of agents, and the competition for roles, that is to say, it is fluctuating at any time, and any variable is enough to affect the final number.
Why are their salaries so high like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie? Because they are irreplaceable, superstars of their level can sell tens of millions of dollars more just by their names, how can this kind of commercial value not make investors rush to it, the salary has long been raised, and it is impossible to come down.
They won't do this kind of thing like self-discounting, they would rather shoot less than reduce the price, and if the basic salary is less, they will have to account for more in the share, so it has to be a movie that a big director is likely to sell well to impress them.
Zhou Bai is obviously on the rise now, even if he is willing to ask less for his basic salary, the relevant share ratio must be indispensable, although he has not gone through the blessing of the Hollywood market like Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, but after several consecutive box office explosions, he has no doubt in the Asian market alone, and there is no less than 20 million actors at this level to take over commercial films.
The reason why commercial films are emphasized is because commercial films can reflect the real salary of an actor, and there is no need to play according to the price of star actors in literary films, just like "Ocean Paradise" invested 7 million, Li Lianjie's real salary at that time was 100 million, enough to make more than a dozen such movies.
Star actors often charge a symbolic salary for performing in literary films, and the factor that impresses these actors is definitely not money, and those who come for money will not take such movies.
It is often determined that star actors can star in low-cost literary films depends on the film's director, script, and role, and the theme discussed is profound, and the director's reputation is very important, so it can be said that acting in such a movie is purely an artistic consideration, of course, this kind of artistic consideration is often not too many times in their entire acting career, especially star actors with high commercial value.
Starring in "If Love", Zhou Bai's salary is 20 million plus a share, even at this price, Chen Kexin feels that he has earned it, just by selling the copyright in Zhou Bai's name in East Asia, he can sell more of this figure, it can be said that with Zhou Bai's joining, in fact, the pressure on the film to recover costs is sharply reduced rather than increased.
Zhou Bai is so popular, so popular that the entire Asian film companies are crazy about him, and the box office explosion of "Fast Pursuit" proves that the madness of these film companies is absolutely correct, as long as they can get it, there will be a lot of profits to be expected, and now Zhou Bai is like a star in the early nineties, in Asia, he is completely a god blocking and killing God and Buddha, and as soon as the movie is released, it is a series of box office records.
In order to invite Zhou Bai, Xingmei's Tan Dong increased his investment by 30 million in the blink of an eye, and it only took 20 million to talk about Zhou Bai, and in the end, even Chen Kexin himself had an extra budget of more than 10 million yuan for film production, Chen Kexin's mood was as if he had won the lottery.
This kind of beautiful thing can't be better for a director, this budget of more than 10 million can make director Chen Kexin, who feels that the production budget is stretched, dare to let go of his hands and feet, and the original overthrow of some large-scale singing and dancing scenes has returned to his consideration, after all, more than 10 million can do a lot of things.
The extra 30 million investment cost Zhou Bai only 20 million, and the remaining 10 million plus the original budget of five or six million for the actors, is the amount of fifteen or six million, and the heroine and the other actor Chen Kexin do not plan to spend huge sums of money to hire too expensive actors, but use them in the production of the movie.
"Do you have any recommendations for the heroine?" Chen Kexin suddenly asked, quite a bit of a surprise attack.
Zhou Bai has not asked about the choice of the heroine, the film is still in the preparation stage, in the end, Zhou Bai himself does not know which actress he will cooperate with in the end, and now there are too many things that have changed in the movie, even he doesn't know who producer Morgan and director Chen Kexin will consider in the end.
"Shouldn't this kind of thing be considered by the producer and you?Are you worried that I won't be able to cooperate with an unfamiliar actress in the end?" Zhou Bai asked strangely, as the first actor, of course he has the right to suggest, and even to some extent, Zhou Bai has the right to decide the choice of the heroine, as long as his opinion is firm, even if the conflict with the director Chen Kexin may end in Chen Kexin's compromise, but that will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble with Chen Kexin.
Zhou Bai already has rich experience as a producer, and he knows that both the director and the producer will be very disgusted by the behavior of the main actors in the crew interfering in the role candidates, so Zhou Bai, who originally planned to always speak, would feel strange when he suddenly asked Chen Kexin.
"The heroine is very important, and it can even be said to be the soul of the movie, on the bright line, I used Monte's perspective as the key to show the entanglement of Lin Jiandong, Sun Na, and Nie Wen, but Sun Na is the center of this love triangle, and it is difficult for ordinary actors to control this role that has undergone different changes before and after ten years, I actually wanted to find Zheng Xiuwen, but she took over "Song of Long Hatred", and the record copyright is a big problem, the heroine has to act and sing, it is not easy to choose. ”
Chen Kexin confided in Zhou Bai his distress, when Zhou Bai did not reveal the recommended candidates to interfere in the selection of roles, he was not adaptable, according to Zhou Bai's coffee position, if he became strong, Chen Kexin really didn't have much to do, but from the beginning to the final signing of Zhou Bai did not have any intention of interfering, this is not only to know the proportion, but obviously respect and trust him as a director.
Chen Kexin heard that other directors who work with Zhou Bai don't have to worry about choosing roles at all, the actor the director likes can be invited by him, the producer, and even better ones, now Zhou Bai's good vision is already famous, so Chen Kexin thinks he might as well ask Zhou Bai's opinion.
"Hong Kong and Taiwan actresses must not need me to recommend, after all, I have worked with and understood really limited, Maggie's acting skills are very good but singing is really not good, and I also have a very limited understanding of others, so I will talk about mainland actresses. ”
"Among the actresses I have worked with, there are many good acting skills, and if the scope is expanded to the actresses I know, there will be more, but if you want an actress who can dance, sing and act, the scope is probably Zhang Ziyi in our class and Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, Hao Lei, Ziyi and Zhou Xun I have cooperated, the other two have not cooperated, but they are the kind of actors who can sing, dance and act, they are all very good mainland actors, among them, I think the most suitable is Zhou Xun, her characteristics are very suitable for this role, of course, you can slowly investigate the specific director, the movie will start filming next year, don't be too anxious. ”
Zhou Bai actually deliberately said that he missed one, his girlfriend Yuan Xiang is also an actor who can sing, dance and act, but now Yuan Xiang is all his efforts on the movie "Cheap Life", and there is no schedule at all, so he won't mention it.
