Chapter 81: I know, but I can't say it!
As capital entered the market, the value of artists began to rise wildly. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Taishi Gong said thousands of years ago, 'The hustle and bustle of the world is all for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit'
The Chinese entertainment industry is so big, how many real performing artists are there?
Most artists aren't thinking about making money quickly!
So, when these new film and television companies waving checks were established, they made movies, not asking for scripts, but asking for the most expensive!
I can't wait to let Sidan Shuangbing appear in a movie at the same time!
Of course, it is almost impossible to do this, because Sidan Shuangbing has their own pursuits, and they are really not short of money!
Then settle for the next best thing and find some popular stars and popular artists.
Sometimes, you know that you are acting in a bad movie, but you still sign the crew agreement without hesitation, why?
And not because of the money!
The most obvious example, Huang Xiaoming and Yang Mi's "Why Sheng Xiaomo", everyone knows that it is definitely a bad movie - from start-up to release, it takes two months to get it!
Chinese Characteristic Film Process!
In fact, in 2014, the entertainment industry with Chinese characteristics has already appeared.
The maximum prize for a scientist is only 5 million yuan, and an actor's salary is hundreds of millions at every turn.
At present, the remuneration of the main star of a film in China can account for more than 50% of the total investment, and even as high as 70%.
And the actor has a salary of hundreds of millions, but he has made one bad work after another that makes people sit in front of the screen and feel embarrassed to sleep.
After all, why are actors paid ridiculously high?
From the micro level, the entertainment industry is now a producer-centered system, and investors spend money, so naturally "everyone else has to listen to him!"
And these investors generally come out of the fields of coal mining, real estate, finance, the Internet, etc., they don't understand the laws of film and television creation at all, don't grasp the script, don't know how to create, and identifying popular actors is the simplest and most crude means.
In terms of TV dramas, if the actors are popular, the ratings will be guaranteed, and even if the script is bad, fans will pay for the idols.
With fans paying, there will be influence and topicality, so that investors can quickly receive returns!
Investors carry abundant capital and believe that using money is the simplest and most effective way to solve the problem: if the actor has no schedule, he will give a few million more, and the schedule will come out; if the script is rotten, give the actor more money, stir up scandals and topics, and the ratings will be high -- it is they who have pushed up the actors' salaries step by step.
From a macro perspective, the high remuneration of actors in the entertainment industry is just a microcosm of China's economic problems as a whole.
Only after China's economic growth slowed down, the development of the real economy is slow, although the government vigorously calls for "mass entrepreneurship, innovation", but the entrepreneurship rate is getting lower and lower is an indisputable fact!
Entrepreneurship has entered the winter of capital, but capital must find a new outlet, so a large amount of hot money has frantically poured into the film and television industry, speculating on IP, Internet celebrities, and stars, and it is natural that actors are paid highly.
As far as Shen Lin knows, Ali Company spent 2.4 billion yuan on the light last year!
No wonder Yu Dong wants to say that those of us who traditionally make movies are working for BAT!
When the audience enters the cinema, they either read the story or look at the face, and the two must always be the same, otherwise who spends the unjust money?
The film and television industry is a buyer's market, and there are outrageously many films released in theaters, why should audiences buy your movie tickets?
Do you want to talk about the plot?
Hehe, you face!
How many domestic movies dare to advertise that they sell plots?
It's better to buy popular actors. The appearance of a popular actor is a real thing, which has led to the popularity of popular actors and directors.
The entry of capital helps to make the industry bigger and stronger, which is a good thing in itself.
However, capital has pushed up the actors' salaries, but the actual production fees have not increased much, which will obviously squeeze the resources of the film creation team.
As Hou Dada said: The cost of the actors in "Breaking through the Guandong" can account for about 30% of the production costs, and now the cost of most actors may exceed 70%, and the change in the overall actor price is too unscientific, which violates the rules of the entire industry and even the entire creation from international to domestic.
Some films are unable to bring in high-quality creative teams, so they have to be shoddy and perfunctory, and in the end, the quality of the film is lowered.
Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Hanyu are both understanding people in the circle, of course they understand that this kind of thing is definitely not a good thing for the development of Chinese films, but they can't say it.
They have a vested interest!
Shen Lin is also a vested interest, and the drama "Super Body" has brought him more than 100 million US dollars in dividends!
You asked him to say NO to capital, just kidding, right?
Not to mention anything else, Zhang Hanyu starred in this "Mekong Operation", and Shen Lin paid him a salary of 10 million!
Absolute sky-high salary, now only a few kings of HK can get more than 10 million prices, Shen Lin just gave Zhang Hanyu such a high salary, why?
Anyway, it's not his own money, besides, Zhang Hanyu is also worth the price!
not only gave Zhang Hanyu a price code of 10 million, but he also gave Huang Xuan a price code of 8 million.
Many people may think it's a bit high, but in fact, compared with other film companies, Shen Linkai's price is much lower.
Huang Xuan's current worth, acting in a movie, if it is a single male lead, the starting price is 11 million!
After all, Brother Xuan starred in two Shen Lin's movies, with strong box office appeal, and he is still an acting school!
I have to say that although Brother Xuan is considered to be popular with Shen Lin, compared to Zhang Hanyu, he is not up to anything, right, why is the salary so high?
……
Feng Xiaogang patted Zhang Hanyu on the shoulder: "Linzi's movie still has content, we can't deny this!"
"Brother, why did he say that to you?"
Zhang Hanyu felt a little confused about Feng Xiaogang, some time ago he also bought all kinds of smears against Shen Lin by the navy, and this change was too fast!
"Yes, it's really a bastard now, I can't get off the stage in front of so many reporters, but we can't say that his movies are not good, especially this "Mekong", which is a project led by the Ministry of Public Security, you have to act well!"
Feng Xiaogang is actually a very contradictory person, on the one hand, he wants art, and on the other hand, he craves the market!
Just like he praised Zhang Yimou in public and even in private, but every time Zhang Yimou is released, Huayi's water army will bring a wave of rhythm!
So many people compare him with Zhang Yimou, he is very happy, if you compare him with Guo Xiaosi, do you see if he will scold the street!
The more you understand people, the more you have to live a confused life.
Although the power of capital is strong, it is also divided into people, for example, Shen Lin, Feng Xiaogang, Zhou Xingchi, Xu Laowei, Wong Kar-wai, these are all partners they choose, and they choose actors.
They can, of course, jump out and accuse capital of disrupting the market, and then what?
Can't the state see it?
Why didn't they take action?
On the contrary, it is reported that various reports are 'sky-high salaries' and the like, isn't it just that once it moves, it will be difficult to guarantee the prosperity of the film market!
The country doesn't speak, you say a fart!
