Chapter 135: Shock Department
With the popularity of the movie "Beast Blood Boiling", Lin Xiaofan and Wang Guli are also popular.
In recent days, Lin Xiaofan has often received calls from media reporters, saying that they want to interview him, but he has refused them one by one. He just wants to make some money in a low-key way, and he doesn't want to be a public opinion figure and let others visit him like animals.
Compared with Lin Xiaofan, Wang Guli faced more reporters. The public's interest in her beauty is obviously greater than Lin Xiaofan's.
Wang Guli, she loves acting, and her dream is to become an actress. This dream, which seemed distant before, was easily realized with the help of Lin Xiaofan.
Wang Guli wants to be an actor, not a star, so she is not interested in those "crazy" reporters. Hype and fame and stuff, she doesn't care. Besides, at the moment she has more important things to do, that is, to review her homework.
She hadn't attended classes for the past two months, and the final exams were coming, and if she didn't study well, she might not pass the exams.
As for the reporters and paparazzi who must face after stepping into the entertainment industry, etc., let's deal with it later.
Lin Xiaofan and Wang Guli's ideas are destined not to come true.
At Chen Zeping's "request", the two could only be interviewed by reporters.
Lin Xiaofan selectively selected two reporters for interviews. At his request, no video was recorded for this interview, only photos.
At first, the reporter just asked some ordinary questions such as Lin Xiaofan's age and school situation, and a college student became a big director, which in itself was an eye-catching gimmick.
When answering questions, Lin Xiaofan did not forget Chen Zeping's instructions, and attributed his ability to make such a film to the cultural environment and education of Jinjiang University.
After these ordinary questions, there are some questions about gossip and entertainment, and some sharp questions. In short, what kind of questions attract attention, reporters ask.
"Director Lin, do you have a girlfriend?"
Lin Xiaofan: "No. ”
"Director Lin, may I ask you that you chose Wang Guli as the heroine just because she is your classmate?
Lin Xiaofan: "There are many reasons for this, on the one hand, she loves acting and is talented, and secondly, this role is very suitable for her, of course, she is my classmate, which is also a very important reason." ”
"Director Lin, a person familiar with the matter broke the news that when you were filming "Beast Blood Boiling", you forcibly drove away director Yao Haitao by virtue of your identity as an investor, is that so?"
The question suddenly sharpened.
Lin Xiaofan: "This is purely a rumor, at that time, Director Yao Haitao had something to do temporarily, so I could only take over the director's work and bite the bullet." I learned all the skills and abilities as a director from director Yao Haitao, and I am very grateful to him......"
He only received a call from Yao Haitao yesterday, and Yao Haitao said that he was very grateful to him. Yao Haitao also said that there are many crews that have invited him to be a director recently, all because of the reputation given to him by "Boiling Beast Blood".
Therefore, if the reporter interviews Yao Haitao on this question, he will get the same answer.
The reporter didn't dig up strong information here in Lin Xiaofan, which is a bit regrettable. However, as long as they interview Lin Xiaofan, they can make enough compelling news.
The next day, the following headline appeared in some media outlets:
"Shocked! The youngest director in China is still a student!"
"The two directors of "Beast Blood Boiling" turned against each other on the set, and the truth turned out to be ......"
"Take you into the daily life of a two-billion-dollar box office director!"
“……”
Lin Xiaofan was not surprised by these news headlines, which is one of the reasons why he was reluctant to be interviewed by the media. The current news editors are all from the "Shock Department", and they don't seem to have a shocking headline, and they are embarrassed to publish news.
Wang Guli has been interviewed more than Lin Xiaofan, and these reporters have brought cameramen to interview her.
"Wang Guli, do you have a boyfriend now?"
"Wang Guli, director Lin Xiaofan, as your classmate, is there a close relationship in private?"
"Wang Guli, you are so beautiful, there must be a lot of people who chase you usually. ”
These questions came one after another, and they were all more intimate questions. These questions are enough to make a special report on Wang Guli.
"Wang Guli, as a new actor, in the movie "Beast Blood Boiling", what is your salary, is it convenient to disclose it?"
Wang Guli has never taken the issue of salary to heart, and only then did she remember: "My salary is a box office share, one percent of the total box office." ”
"One percent of the box office is at least 20 million in salary. ”
Wang Guli is also aware of this problem. At that time, I didn't expect that there would be so many box offices, and one percent was even less. But under the huge base of 2 billion box office, one percent, as high as 20 million!
For Wang Guli, this is an astronomical amount, a fortune that her parents will never earn in their lifetime.
Taking advantage of the fact that the popularity of "Beast Blood Boiling" has not dissipated, the news about Wang Guli has been overwhelmingly publicized.
"The lucky actress was favored by the director's classmates!"
"The heroine of "Beast Blood Boiling" has a sky-high salary!"
“……”
Seeing these news headlines, Wang Guli saw the "undisciplinedness" of these media.

The final exam is coming, and Lin Xiaofan is reviewing his homework. However, he is not as worried about exams as Wang Guli, and with his learning ability, this time is enough for him to review all the subjects and get a good grade.
When Lin Xiaofan was reading a book, he received a call from Feng Qingyun.
"Hey, Xiaofan, I went to watch your movie, it's really good. How did this movie come to be, and how much did it cost?"
Lin Xiaofan: "The cost of the movie is about 200 million. ”
Feng Qingyun: "How much can you get for the box office of two billion?"
"Theaters and theaters take 50 percent, and the distribution company doesn't have to take a share, what I can get is 50 percent. ”
Feng Qingyun exclaimed: "One billion income, two hundred million costs, this is five times the profit! No wonder so many people like to make movies." ”
In fact, the cost of 200 million yuan is a lie told by Lin Xiaofan in order not to arouse suspicion. The actual cost is 10 million shooting costs, 10 million special effects costs, 20 million distribution costs, and then counting the 20 million remuneration allocated to Wang Guli, the cost is only 60 million.
Sixty million costs, one billion revenues, and profits are close to seventeen times!
Such a profit margin is enough to drive countless people crazy.
Lin Xiaofan: "Feng Qingyun, you called, are you worried about my box office?"
"Hehe, you guessed it," Feng Qingyun laughed awkwardly, "The tens of millions you gave last time are too little, and they don't need to be used." Our production lines are about to stop production, and we urgently need a large amount of capital investment. ”
Lin Xiaofan: "It's useless if you're in a hurry, "Beast Blood Boiling" hasn't been offline yet, and I don't know when the box office revenue will arrive, so you can wait for a while with peace of mind." ”
