Chapter 277: "Uncle Acting Gang"

[NEW](.)

Cinema is an art!

Filmmakers are a creature of fame and fortune!

Zhao Zhenghao is also a filmmaker now, and he also has to bend his waist for fame and fortune!

To complete the tasks of the "Super Idol" system and achieve the world's strongest Super Idol, Zhao Zhenghao needs more awards and recognition!

If you want to get the affirmation of the film industry, Zhao Zhenghao has to be the same light as those who have the right to speak in the current film industry.

Zhao Zhenghao doesn't want to be an unscrupulous person for the sake of awards, but the reality is that it is not his own strength that can be contended!

There are only two ways before him, one is to join them in the same stream, and the other is to be excluded by them!

Zhao Zhenghao has never been the kind of person who refuses to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, in his previous life, in order to pursue his music dream, he also thought about using some crooked means, but unfortunately he was trapped and conditioned by appearance, second, he was limited by natural talent, and third, he did not have enough money to support, even if he wanted to sell his dignity and soul, he was not allowed to enter.

Crossing into this world, with the anti-heaven face gifted by his predecessor, with the accumulation of decades in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and later accumulating amazing wealth, Zhao Zhenghao believes that he doesn't need to pay anything more.

However, when he came to the film industry with more complicated interpersonal relationships, Zhao Zhenghao realized that in this circle, appearance, talent and money alone were not enough for him to achieve the desired achievements!

His appearance is high, but several times in the entire Dragon Kingdom entertainment circle, the skin is not worse than him, everywhere; he has decades of accumulation in the entertainment industry in his previous life, and his talent is so high that he breaks through the sky, but the film industry in this world is not useless, the box office of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West" is very high, but the films with higher box office scores than them in the Dragon Kingdom film circle in this world are not too many or less, and there are more than a dozen!

He has a lot of money, and now he has entered the top 500 of the world's richest list, but no matter how much money he has, he can't buy him an Oscar-winning statuette!

Even the little golden dragon of the "Golden Dragon Award" of the three major awards ceremonies of the Dragon Kingdom, the golden jue of the "Golden Goblet Award", and the golden sheep of the "Golden Goblet Award" are not something that can be bought with money!

The filmmakers who hold these film awards are not defenders who are not moved by money, but they are not anyone's money and take everything!

In order to maintain their authority and be able to make money for a long time, when they present awards, the first thing they consider is the quality of the movie and the level of acting skills.

Moreover, the film company's public relations behavior of the judges of those awards has now formed a certain tacit understanding and rules, which is not something that an upstart like "Zhenghao Studio" can cut in and break at will.

If you want to really integrate in, you still need to rely on the strength of others, and it is also the power of several giant companies, compared with those well-connected giant companies, even second-tier film distribution companies such as "Nine Star Entertainment" are not enough to watch, not to mention that there are only achievements in the field of production, and there is no "Zhenghao Studio" that has not established its own distribution channels.

Therefore, this time, Zhao Zhenghao decided to find a more powerful distribution company for "Infernal Affairs", and the goal was naturally to target the six giants of Dragon Country Films.

Now, Zhao Zhenghao has enough capital to negotiate cooperation conditions with these giant companies, and he will no longer want to cooperate with them as before, so he can only bow his head and let others slaughter him.

To be honest, if it weren't for "Nine Star Entertainment" to open up, they gambled "A Chinese Ghost Story", and gave "Zhenghao Studio" an irresistible distribution condition, and the fledgling Zhao Zhenghao and "Zhenghao Studio" would not have to bow their heads like those giant distribution companies that took Qiao.

Now, of course, time has passed, Zhao Zhenghao's new film has no worries about investment and distribution channels, and the news that the new film has just begun to prepare has just flowed out, and dozens of film companies, including the six giant companies in the Dragon Country Film Circle, have sent cooperation intentions.

In the end, after several rounds of negotiations, "Zhenghao Studio" finally selected "Penguin Pictures" as the exclusive global distribution company of "Infernal Affairs", and accepted the investment of 100 million dragon coins from "Penguin Films", accounting for 40% of the total investment of "Infernal Affairs".

"Penguin Pictures" is one of the six giants in the Dragon Country film circle, backed by the "Penguin Group", which is one of the largest comprehensive technology and entertainment companies in Dragon Country, with a total market value of up to 5 trillion Dragon Coins!

"Zhenghao Studio" has reached a good cooperative relationship with "Penguin Video" and "Penguin Music", which are also under the "Penguin Group", and the first season, second season, and third seasons of "Follow Brother Hao to the World", "What a Werewolf Kills", and the upcoming first season of "Love Diary", all of which are exclusively broadcast on "Penguin Video".

In addition to Zhao Zhenghao's first solo album, "Zhenghao Studio" released Zhao Zhenghao's second and third solo albums, as well as two albums of the "Heroic" band, and the music sources of the Dalong Kingdom circle are also all on "Penguin Music".

Compared with "Penguin Video" and "Penguin Music", "Penguin Pictures" developed relatively late, although it is backed by the towering giant tree of "Penguin Group" and has strong capital, but several other competitors also have the support of giant companies behind them.

For example, "Alili Pictures", which currently occupies the largest share of the Dragon Kingdom film market, is backed by another giant technology and entertainment company "Ali Liba", which was bright with the "Penguin Group" for a while!

The parent company behind "Qianda Pictures", which owns the largest cinema group in the Dragon Country Film Market, is the largest real estate company in Dragon Country, "Qianda Group"!

Therefore, despite its strong strength and rapid development since its establishment, "Penguin Pictures" can only rank fifth among the six giants in the Dragon Country film circle, and before it, there are two old film and television companies "Dragon Pictures" and "Bright Pictures".

The above five film and television companies, plus the "Pentium Pictures" at the end of the crane among the six giants, are the six giants that control 60% of the Dragon Country film market!

Compared with these six giants, "Nine Star Entertainment" can only be regarded as a second-tier film and television company, which is related to the development strategy formulated by the establishment of "Nine Star Entertainment", they originally focused on the TV drama market, and after some achievements, they began to slowly expand their business to the film industry and music circle.

In the past two years, he has taken the "Zhenghao Studio" and successively won the distribution rights of "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "Journey to the West".

Now, .y is disbanded, Feng Xiaojing and Yu Yabin have switched to "Zhenghao Studio", and "Nine Star Entertainment" has lost the link node with "Zhenghao Studio", and naturally it is here in "Zhenghao Studio", losing the priority of cooperation.

Moreover, in the investment and distribution negotiations of "Infernal Affairs", the conditions given by "Nine Star Entertainment" are not satisfactory, and they still want to make more benefits like the previous two cooperations.

As a result, in front of "Penguin Pictures", which is stronger and more sincere in cooperation, "Nine Star Entertainment" naturally has no choice but to abdicate and make way for Xian.

"Penguin Pictures" invested 100 million dragon dollars, accounting for 40% of the shares of "Infernal Affairs", but these shares only refer to the box office revenue of "Infernal Affairs", excluding copyrights, and sequel development - however, "Zhenghao Studio" also gave a promise that if "Infernal Affairs" wants to develop a sequel, "Penguin Pictures" has the right of first refusal.

In addition, "Penguin Pictures" won the global distribution rights of "Infernal Affairs" with an ultra-low share ratio of 6%, and out of trust in Zhao Zhenghao, there was no box office guarantee.

At present, the standard distribution share ratio in the Dragon Country film market is 8%-10%, and when "Nine Star Entertainment" won the distribution rights of "A Chinese Ghost Story" with the greatest result, the required share ratio was also 7%.

However, what "Penguin Pictures" won with a 6% share ratio is the global distribution rights of "Infernal Affairs", not just the distribution rights of Dragon Kingdom, if the global box office of "Infernal Affairs" can be comparable to "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Penguin Pictures" will not lose much.

Zhao Zhenghao's total investment in "Infernal Affairs" is 200 million dragon dollars, but "Penguin Pictures" invests 100 million, but it only accounts for 40% of the shares, so calculated, the total investment in "Infernal Affairs" will be increased to 250 million.

However, "Zhenghao Studio" did not pay more, and also took out 100 million yuan, accounting for 40% of the shares of "Infernal Affairs".

The other 20% of the shares are the box office share occupied by Zhao Zhenghao as a director and starring actor.

In recent years, with the continuous prosperity of the Dragon Kingdom film market, ultra-high-grossing films have emerged in an endless stream, and the box office appeal of big directors and big stars has continued to be highlighted, and more and more directors and actors have participated in the box office sharing.

Take Hu Zhenlong, the director of the first Chinese New Year film of the Dragon Kingdom, as an example, in the Chinese New Year film "Going Home for the New Year" released during the Spring Festival in 2016, he invested in the director's salary and got 12% of the box office share of the entire film!

The box office of the local film of "Going Home for the New Year" exceeded 3 billion, and the global box office was nearly 5 billion, deducting the expenses such as theater sharing, shooting costs, and profits and taxes, with a net income of up to 1.5 billion dragon coins.

With a 12% box office share, Hu Zhenlong was able to grab a super high return of nearly 200 million dragon coins!

And the top actors, and those big-budget movies with an investment of 500 million or 1 billion, sign contracts, mostly in the form of remuneration and dividends.

Taking 2016 so far, the highest-grossing film "Chasing the Deer" in the Dragon Kingdom as an example, this investment cost is as high as one billion Dragon Country coins, and finally in the Dragon Country itself, it has gained a mythical masterpiece with a box office of 7 billion, starring Yang Chaozhong, and is one of the only two Grand Slam actors in the Dragon Kingdom film circle with "Golden Dragon Actor", "Golden Jue Actor", and "Golden Sheep Actor", and is currently one of the top actors with the most box office appeal in the Dragon Kingdom film circle.

He signed a contract with "Chasing the Deer" with a salary plus dividends, with a salary of 20 million dragon coins, plus a 10% box office share.

In addition, he also used his wife's film company to directly participate in the investment of "Chasing Deer", and he personally and related companies accounted for 20% of the shares of "Chasing Deer"!

In the end, Yang Chaozhong's "Chasing the Deer", which has a global box office of more than 10 billion, grabbed a huge return of nearly 500 million dragon coins!

When Zhao Zhenghao was filming "A Chinese Ghost Story", since all the investment in the film came from "Zhenghao Studio", he didn't bother much, and then what kind of salary and dividends were counted.

During the filming of "Journey to the West", due to the introduction of external investment, he gave him the director, screenwriter, and starring roles in accordance with the industry rules, all of which were paid, and some dividend ratios were given, just because "Journey to the West" was his second directorial work, and his box office appeal had not really been established, and the salary and dividends were not very high, which could not be compared with super big names such as Hu Zhenlong and Yang Chaozhong.

By the time of "Infernal Affairs", Zhao Zhenghao's box office appeal had already been demonstrated, and at the same time, in order to prove his confidence in this movie, he calculated the due salary as an investment into the shooting cost, plus the division of labor, and occupied a total of 20% of the film's shares.

In this way, if the box office performance of the movie is excellent after its release, it will make a lot of money, but it is not without risks, in case the box office fails, or does not meet expectations, it is possible for Zhao Zhenghao to lose money personally.

This is normal!

There is nothing risk-free in this world!

What's more, in the face of the huge return of hundreds of millions of dragon coins, these risks are what Zhao Zhenghao must bear.

After reaching a strategic partnership with "Penguin Pictures", "Zhenghao Studio" immediately disclosed the preparation plan for "Infernal Affairs".

Prior to this, Zhao Zhenghao had taken advantage of this time to frequently participate in various award ceremonies, like several senior actors he liked, sent invitations to participate and sent out scripts.

The feedback he got was somewhat unexpected by Zhao Zhenghao, and the two supporting actors he selected for "Infernal Affairs" - Officer Huang Zhicheng and Officer Huang Chen, Han Chen's preferred actors, "Golden Dragon", "Golden Jue" double actor Wang Bangmin, and "Golden Sheep Actor" Wu Hai, all expressed a very strong participation**.

Wang Bangmin is now forty-five years old, and he already holds a "Golden Dragon Award" and two "Golden Goblet Awards" in his hands, and there are more than ten other second-class actor titles, and there are only one "Golden Sheep Award" missing, which can achieve the full slam of the actor in the Dragon Kingdom film circle!

Wu Hai is forty-nine years old this year, holding two "Golden Sheep Awards", and like Wang Bangmin, he is a member of the "Uncle Acting Gang" in the Dragon Country Film Circle, and he is also an actor with great box office appeal in the Dragon Country Film Circle! .
