Chapter 371: I can't think of a title
After finishing the matter of "Hong Kong Embarrassment", Liu Dong handed over the preparatory work to Zheng Ye, after all, he was just a shell company, and he only had to pay for it.
And with Xiao He staring, Bernard is unlikely to pit him.
Berner released the news before Zhao Wei hit a rake, saying that Zhao Wei thought that the 15 million salary was too low and failed to reach a cooperation.
As soon as the news spread, some netizens immediately started spraying, plus Berner's own water army, and some other fans of the popular Dahuadan who competed with Zhao Wei also began to accuse Zhao Wei of opening his mouth.
A little preconceived idea of a certain person by the masses is basically difficult to clear up.
In the end, Zhao Wei had no choice, so he took the initiative to give in and found Liu Dong, willing to play the female number one with a salary of 10 million.
At that time, Liu Dong really couldn't find the heroine, so he agreed to cut it to 8 million.
Xu Zheng also agreed to Liu Dong's plan, and the final investment plan was that Liu Dong would invest 135 million yuan in 45% of the shares.
Berner also invested 135 million yuan in the shares, and was responsible for the publicity, accounting for 45% of the box office revenue and 10% of the distribution fee.
This kind of film that is destined to be a big hit is actually a lot of distributors rushing to ask for even if it is only 7 or 8% of the distribution fee, so it can be regarded as Berner taking advantage of it.
In fact, the combined investment of both sides is only 120 million.
Xu Zheng invested in the shares with the remuneration of directors and actors, with a price of 30 million, accounting for 10% of the income.
10% is not a lot, you must know that the outside world's current expectations for "Hong Kong" are 2 billion, and the distribution to the producer is 20X0.92X0.33=607 million.
That is, Xu Zheng alone took 60 million, which is twice as much as the salary.
Additional investment may be required at any time during the filming process and subsequent publicity, and the entire production department is made up of Berner and Yu Dong's people, and Xu Zheng can't interfere with the accounts at all, so he can dilute it a little more.
But Liu Dong didn't want to be too ugly, so he had to give someone someone a cup of soup.
After completing the investment of "Hong Kong", Liu Dong returned to Hengdian to join the crew.
"Director Zheng, I'm back, I'm not late!"
"It's okay, there's no hurry, I've already sent someone to the location in the past two days, and the scene of Weta Studio has just been built and is doing the final inspection!" Zheng Baorui said with a smile.
Liu Dong wanted to say hello to the others, "Brother Fa, Brother Cheng!"
In July, Zhou Yanfa was wearing a loose white shirt, big pants, and slippers on his feet, dressed like an old man, he said with a smile, "How about it, your "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is done, if you have anything to help in Xiangjiang, just say it!"
Zhou Yunfa is still a very kind person, except for Zhou Xingchi, Liu Dong has cooperated with the four celestial superstars, and they usually get along well, and they don't put on a show.
But they don't have to put up a show, after all, the status is there!
"Thank you, Brother Fa, we have sent the producer and the location team to Xiangjiang for a field trip, and we will definitely not be polite to you if you have difficulties at that time!"
"If you are filming in Xiangjiang, you must communicate well with the government on location, try not to go to places with too dense crowds, and if there are any special circumstances on the government's side that may change at that time!" Zhou Yanfa advised.
"It's hard to avoid this, we discussed, Big Yellow Duck, Victoria Harbour, Chongqing Building, Big Buddha, Star Ferry, Yau Ma Tei Temple Street, Sky 101, Central Flyover... These places are a must visit, and there are no suitable places in the suburbs!"
Liu Dong is also a little distressed, he goes to Hengdian in other places and does not have a building with Xiangjiang characteristics, and it is time-consuming and laborious to build it by himself, and it cannot be dismantled once with it.
"These places..."
Zhou Yunfa thought for a while, "There are more people watching the night view at skyline 101, Chongqing Building is located at No. 36-44 Nathan Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, all of which are low-end service-oriented industries, and Yindu, Barhaostan and Africans are the majority, be careful not to conflict with them!"
"I also probably know a little bit, it is said that Chongqing Mansion is known as the Kowloon Walled City for ethnic minorities!" Liu Dong said with a wry smile.
"In the past few years, the environment and security of Chongqing Mansion were indeed very chaotic!" Zhou Yunfa nodded, and then said, "But later, large-scale renovation and transformation were carried out, and a lot of cameras were installed in the building, and the environment and security were improved a lot.
"It doesn't cost much to charter a boat on the Star Ferry, but try not to choose the peak period!"
"Yau Ma Tei Temple Street is also full of people, just pay more attention!"
......
Zhou Yunfa introduced to Liu Dong the detailed scenes of those places and some things to pay attention to.
The next day, the crew set off to the location and began a month-long filming process.
In fact, since the news of the preparation for filming was released, several locations in the film have become the focus of competition for many tourist attractions in China.
The film involves a large number of exterior scenes such as Huaguo Mountain and Water Curtain Cave, which have long become the objects of competition for major characteristic scenic spots.
The person in charge of these scenic spots is not stupid, and naturally knows that putting "Journey to the West" on the big screen will attract attention no matter how it is filmed, and when the time comes, they can also use this to promote and attract a wave of popularity.
There have been more than a dozen national scenic spots across the country that have sent invitations to "Havoc in Heaven" through various channels.
Zheng Baorui sent three location art teams to all parts of the country to conduct field investigations on 11 scenic spots such as Zhangjiajie, Jiuzhaigou, Hainan Sandu, and Yuhang Qiandao Lake, and finally selected two locations.
The exterior of Huaguo Mountain finally chose Zhangjiajie, because "Avatar" was filmed here, the number of tourists has been rising in the past two years, and the scenic spot management office has tasted the sweetness, and the crew of "Havoc in the Heavenly Palace" is also refused, not only does not charge a penny, but also builds a Havoc Tiangong theme park in the scenic area.
In addition to the two exterior locations, the crew also invited New Zealand's Weta Studio, and the special effects team of "The Lord of the Rings" to participate in the construction of five indoor scenes: Samsung Taoist Temple, Pan Taoyuan, Heavenly Court, East China Sea Dragon Palace and Flaming Mountain.
A month later, the crew ended all filming and returned to the capital in the dust.
The post-production of the film has been handed over to GSP, and Zheng Baorui followed the whole process, after all, there are still differences in the aesthetics of Eastern and Western people, and he must watch from the sidelines.
The crew members disbanded, and they didn't gather until a month before the movie was released to start publicity.
Back in the capital, Liu Dong ushered in a vacation of nearly half a year, so he rested at home and went to Hengdian to accompany Liu Shishi for two months.
After that, he participated in the premiere of "Small Times 2" and went to cheer Yang Mi on.
and Xiaodi, anyway, she is Yang Mi's follower now, and she has to find a small role for her wherever she goes.
"Witnessed by the Whole People", "Magic" starring Huang Xiaoming, "No Man's Land" starring Huang Bo and Xu Zheng......
Everyone who has a relationship with him invited Liu Dong, and he also took the time to go to the premiere of "Special Identity" to see Donnie Yen, who has no longer received a costume blockbuster.
