The preparatory work for "Project Baby" has been underway. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

As Hu Lei said, tedious foreplay is also time-consuming, and each of them is indispensable.

The cost of this movie is not small, Li Zhifan participated in the investment in the name of the studio as a screenwriter, director and male lead, and the share ratio only accounted for 18.6% of the revenue after the box office share, and Jufeng only accounted for 29.77% in the case of production and publicity before and after the package.

The rest is divided into those investors.

Among them, after deducting the key, service fee, film special fund fee and other agency fees, China Film will also account for 3.7% of the revenue in the box office.

This is actually an unspoken rule, which is completely for the theaters under China Film, and use this share to buy a high-ranking film.

In the same way, several other theater chains have taken away 0.5%~4% of the net profit after receiving a certain percentage of the box office share, and the income that should have been attributed to the investors and producers.

The other investors and co-issuers will each divide a lump sum, and the money will be divided.

Li Zhifan and Jufeng, as the main creators, seem to suffer a bit from such a sharing ratio, but in fact, the movie is still in the early stage, and the two parties have already made a lot of money.

The first is the 50% box office profit share that was previously sold to a listed company at a price of 500 million Hong Kong dollars, which is a real net profit, and Li Zhifan alone can get more than 80 million yuan.

This kind of speed of making money is not uncommon in the film industry, so the main creator does not lose money.

Hotel.

After recording the Lantern Festival Joy Party on Mango Channel, Hu Lei did not go back to his room, and followed Li Zhifan directly to his house.

The script of "Baby Project" is stored in a USB flash drive and has been made into an electronic document by Jufeng.

Hu Lei slid the mouse quickly at first, but after reading a few pages, he started to read again.

Li Zhifan sat aside and yawned, and finally couldn't resist the temptation of the sleepy worm, so he went back to the bedroom to sleep early.

As for the safety of the script and Hu Lei's character, he is not worried, the film has been approved, the script has been approved and archived, and many investors and sponsors have also seen it, so they can rest assured.

The next morning.

Li Zhifan got up and walked out of the room, only to see Hu Lei still sitting in front of the computer.

I haven't slept all night, Hu Lei is now bearded, his eyes are dark, and his eyeballs are full of bloodshots.

He wrote something on the paper one by one, and in the pile of paper at hand, there were actually paper towels from the restaurant, on which there were also a lot of notes.

"Brother Lei, what are you doing here?"

Li Zhifan asked curiously.

Hu Lei didn't seem to hear it, Li Zhifan was about to reach out to push, but he turned his head: "Sit down and do your homework in advance, is the black boss in this play fixed?"

"I don't know!"

Li Zhifan said, "This matter is all in charge of Jufeng's side." ”

"Let me act!"

Hu Lei said directly, "I have analyzed every character, although the role of the black boss has few scenes, it is very important, and the age span is relatively large, I want to try it!"

"Huh?"

Li Zhifan was surprised, Hu Lei is only in his forties, and he wants to play the role of a grandfather at all ages?

Did he hear him right?

The original version of the black boss in "Baby Plan" is played by Chen Baoguo, who is a sinister and vicious person.

His appearance is full of gloom and coldness, and in order to fulfill his wish for his dead son, he did not hesitate to spend 30 million Hong Kong dollars to buy the newborn baby.

Especially when he learned that this was not his grandson, he actually wanted to freeze the baby to death, and the sinister intentions were outrageous.

Although the black boss was confused under the double blow of experiencing the pain of losing a child and the unveiling of the baby's identity, he was finally defeated by the tragic reality.

But the challenge of this role is also very difficult.

In the Xiangjiang film industry, there are many villain professionals, but not everyone can play this role.

Looking at Hu Lei's expectant eyes, Li Zhifan had no choice but to say, "Okay, I'll call Director Liao to ask." ”

With that, Li Zhifan walked to the side and took the phone and dialed Liao Feng's private number.

Each film crew has an assistant director who is specially cast.

In the eyes of many, this is a fat gap, and there are many opportunities for unspoken rules.

Even some actors who have become famous must maintain a good relationship with them, and in this circle, connections are very important.

In addition to the male and female leads, Liao Feng will not ask about the choice of other supporting roles.

But when he heard that Hu Lei wanted to play this role and planned to be the first assistant director, Liao Feng was very happy.

Because of this kind of actor-level joining, it is also a guarantee for the movie, and it is also helpful for Li Zhifan, a rookie director.

"Good, good!"

Liao Feng agreed, "Tell Xiao Lei that this matter is settled, he doesn't want to regret it!"

"He certainly won't go back!"

Li Zhifan glanced at Hu Lei, who was lying in front of the computer again and concentrating on his homework, and couldn't help but smile.

"That's fine!"

Liao Feng said, "By the way, the preliminary preparations are estimated to be over at the end of the month, do you plan to start filming when?"

"Pick a good day!"

Li Zhifan said, "The press conference will be held more grandly, you are good at this, and you will notify me on the date." ”

"Okay, no problem!"

Liao Feng smiled, "By the way, "I Am a Passerby" was released on the tenth day of the first month, it has not been a few days, there is a press conference in the capital on the day of the release, can you adjust the schedule over there?"

"Let Director Yu discuss this matter with Lao Zhao!"

Li Zhifan said, "I try my best to cooperate with the schedule that can be adjusted." ”

In the past few days, he has appeared on several variety shows for "I Am a Passerby", including two shows on Mango Channel.

It is an obligation for actors to promote their films, and this contract is clearly written.

However, Li Zhifan has been busy with too many things this year, it is the Spring Festival Gala and "Singer", so the movie promotion is only on variety shows, and some activities with conflicting schedules are all done by Fu Biao.

However, for the box office of the movie "I Am a Passerby", even Li Zhifan himself is not very optimistic.

Plus it's a comedy with a small investment and a small cost, as long as it's not a day trip.

After hanging up the phone, Li Zhifan walked up to Hu Lei and said, "It's done!"

"I hear it all!"

Hu Lei put down his pen and stretched, looked at the time, and said in surprise, "It's eight o'clock? No, I have to go to sleep quickly, I'm too sleepy!"

"It's time for me to go, too!"

Li Zhifan looked at his watch, "Today I want to go to Nanjin to record Jiangsu Satellite TV's Lantern Festival party, and then I have to record a variety show on their side, it is estimated that I will come back tomorrow afternoon, and we will talk about it again when the time comes." ”

"Then you can come back and talk again!"

Hu Lei got up with a yawn, put away the pile of various papers on the table, and shook his head and left.

……

After more than a month, Li Zhifan came to Nanjin again, which was completely different from when he came to record New Year's Eve before.

The most obvious point is that there are more fans who pick up the airport.

In fact, since the end of the Chinese New Year, Li Zhifan has felt this change.

In the past, there were only more than 20 fans who picked up the airport, and the most time was only half a hundred.

But now it's different, as soon as he leaves the airport, a crowd of people shouting his name, holding his light signs, and glancing at them to find that there are almost no fans mixed with other people.

Another change is that there are significantly more middle-aged and elderly people who recognize him.

In the past, he was only recognized by young people or his fans, and when he was in first class on the plane, basically only flight attendants came to him to ask for autographs

Now it's different, the age group that knows him has obviously expanded, and when he came, there was an old lady in first class on the plane, who found him in the VIP room.

This is all thanks to the Spring Festival Gala stage, because what he has heard the most now is:

"Hey, you're the singer who sang "Chinese", right?"

"Young man, are you singing with Tao Jun in the Spring Festival Gala?"

"Are you...... Li Zhifan, right, I watched the Spring Festival Gala, my son and daughter like you very much!"

Then again.

The formation encountered at Nanjin Airport today is obviously bigger than every time before, especially compared with when boarding the plane in Changsha dozens of minutes ago, Li Zhifan wondered if someone had announced his itinerary?

Unlike other celebrities, Li Zhifan never announces his itinerary to the public.

One is that he doesn't like to be hyped on the Internet because of these external reasons, and the second is that fans are crazy now, especially those who give expensive gifts, and the money they spend may be their living expenses for several months.

Finally, it is the personal safety of fans.

Just like today's scene, the fan base with no end in sight, if there is really a stampede accident, he is the biggest responsibility, and he will be uneasy for the rest of his life.

Just when Li Zhifan was busy discussing with the airport personnel how to deal with it, four or five young people dressed in uniform suddenly came up behind him, and the first man said: "Mr. Li, we are from the Lantern Festival Gala program group, and the car has already driven in, come with me!"

"Where did you go?"

Li Zhifan was stunned for a moment, glanced at the direction he was pointing, and said in surprise, "In the airport?"

"Well, if it weren't for today's battle, it is estimated that they would not let us in, so you hurry up and let us go!

"Good!"

Li Zhifan immediately nodded in agreement, and followed with Zhao Yiduo, Zhang Yao and others.

These young people are also very hard-working, helping to carry things, and escorting left and right, making Li Zhifan a little trance.

When I came out of the back door of the ground staff, I immediately saw a bus parked at the door.

It is very exaggerated with the words "TV station car".

"Mr. Li, please first!"

"Good!"

As soon as I got on the bus, I found that there were three people in the car in addition to the driver, and this car did not look like an ordinary bus, there were sofas, reclining chairs and a small conference table in the back.

The three people in the car saw Li Zhifan coming up, and the only lady came up with a smile: "Mr. Li Zhifan, I am Shang Jie, the producer of the program group of "Wonders of Science", and you are welcome to our program!"

This "Wonders of Science" is a variety entertainment program of Jiangsu Satellite TV that Li Zhifan wants to record at the same time today...... This show was related to science a few years ago, but doing a show always has to be profitable, and it is to invite big-name stars and Olympic champions, how can you invite them if you don't have money?

Therefore, this show is becoming more and more varied and entertaining, and the content invited by the contestants has also begun to move towards "topical", "controversial", and "comedic effect".

Scientificity has also become a slogan on the lips, and the actual program content is really related to very little science.

The audience has been criticized for a long time, and the original batch of scientific true love fans has already been lost.

But the program team not only did not change, but intensified it, because although the true love fans of science are gone, the true love fans of variety shows are here, and this group of fans is more than the true love of science, and it is easier to deceive and coax than the true love of science.

Li Zhifan's cognition of this show is still stuck a few years ago.

At that time, he liked to watch this science program, but he didn't pay attention to the changes in recent years.

Basically, since his junior year, he hasn't watched much TV shows, and it's better to play a few rankings when he has that time.

And with entering the entertainment industry, let alone watching variety shows, I don't even have time to play games, so it's better to catch up on sleep when I have that time!

There are two reasons why I came to this show.

One is to advertise "I Am a Passerby", and the program team signed an agreement with the crew, and this issue has a challenge project that will use the program content of "I am a Passerby".

The other is that there is also a challenge project in this issue, and the program team said that it is related to music, so I would like to ask Li Zhifan, who has an absolute sense of sound, to be a witness.

After receiving this notice, whether it was from the perspective of promoting the movie or from the perspective of his personal interests, he readily agreed.

Seeing the people in the production unit, Li Zhifan didn't have any, and said with a straightforward smile: "Hello commercial producers, hello everyone!"

"You're welcome!"

Shang Jie and others exchanged a few words with Li Zhifan, waited for the car to start, and quietly left the airport, before the topic entered the content of today's program.

This is to let Li Zhifan have a prior understanding, but the specific content and steps were not told to him.

I only told him that the first item was to test his observation ability, and the second item was to test the comprehensive ability of hearing, memory, and hand speed.

The two projects have one thing in common, that is, one of the PK is a newcomer who challenges himself to success in the first few episodes of the new season, and the other party is a veteran who stayed in the show in the previous seasons.

Shang Jie said that Li Zhifan came to be a guest, in fact, he was the same as the audience, and he was not a participant in the challenge project, so there was no need to know too much detail, just express his views after the challenge.

In addition to him, there were other guests at the scene, all of whom were the same as him.

When Li Zhifan asked why the guests and the audience couldn't understand too much detail, Shang Jie said: "In this way, when you watch the game, you will not have a sense of shock, and the reaction that will be revealed at the first time will be unnatural." Of course, the host will explain in detail before and after the competition, and there is also a professor from Peking University on the scene, who already knows all the projects well before the competition, and he will also explain to you in the guest seat during the competition, so don't worry!"

"Oh!"

Li Zhifan will be skeptical, but more curious.

He was looking forward to seeing the two projects, and had already begun to organize the language on how he would express his amazement when the time came.
