Chapter 43 Give a red envelope as encouragement
Before the release of "Notes Horror", because of Wu Shushan's big fool and bragging all day long, investors were also confident that they could make a lot of money, and they didn't react until after the release, which was not the case at all. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The results of over 100 million yuan in the first week were not bad, but the box office plummeted in the second week, falling from 100 million to 50 million, and the film scheduling rate also plummeted.
The theater line doesn't care so much, unless the relevant departments send a red-headed document, otherwise there is milk is a mother, no matter whose work is not watched, the number of shows will be reduced, or even directly downgraded.
In the end, the box office of "Notes Horror" exceeded 200 million, and investors estimated that their intestines were ruined, and Wu Shushan, the initiator of all this, is still alive and well, and he has not come out since the movie was released, as if he has nothing to do with the movie at all.
However, his previous bouncing was not without benefits, it is said that because of that performance, it has attracted many people's ideas, and the owner has spent money to invest in him, and he finally has the opportunity to direct the movie himself.
It's just that the final result is definitely not much better, and with his ability, Zhang Yao doesn't believe that he can make any achievements, and the investor must have been fooled into the thief ship again.
In fact, it is not surprising that he can fool into investing, now there are more and more rich people in the dazzling empire, and they are looking for projects to invest everywhere, and movies have always been one of the best choices.
If you look at the movies released in China in recent years, you can find that there are all kinds of investors, and these people just have a lot of money and don't know much about movies.
As long as you have a certain degree of popularity and attention and can flicker, it is not difficult to invest, Wu Shushan was only afraid of the ultimate goal like that before, and criticizing Zhang Yao is secondary, this is just a means for him to achieve the goal.
The box office of "Notes Horror" of 200 million was full of mourning, and the box office of "The Night the Comet Comed" also sold hard to pass the 100 million mark, but Zhang Yao and they clapped their hands to celebrate, once again forming a distinct location.
"Celebrate, you must celebrate, just go to Yayuan Qingju and go." The box office was divided, and Zhang Yao and Xia Yaohan pulled Han Rongrong and them out to eat and drink.
As a debut film, Han Rongrong and they are all very excited, although it can't be said to be a sky, but it can be regarded as a familiar face, and so far they have received a lot of film contracts, which is enough to be enviable.
When they told the news, Zhang Yao said: "I know you are all excited, in fact, I am the same, but my personal opinion is not to blindly film, don't think that I can't see you well, I just think that it may not be helpful to your development, and the school does not advocate filming before you finish your studies." Of course, if there is really a good script, don't worry too much, you also need to seize the opportunity. ”
"What kind of opportunity, those people just see that we have a good momentum now, so they just want to use us to make a lot of hot money, and there is no chance at all." Xia Yaohan also received a lot of film appointments, but she refused directly without discussing them in detail.
Yue Tao said with a smile: "I actually know very well how much weight we have, and it is not to the point where we can be stunned, and now that the popularity of the movie slowly dissipates, there are fewer and fewer people who are interested in us, which is very revealing." ”
It is quite rare that they can clearly understand themselves because of a little achievement, and it is a little surprising that they can treat them so calmly.
If it weren't for the fact that he had been in the past life for so long, and all the experiences could keep him in a good attitude, Zhang Yao couldn't guarantee that he would still be able to calm down with his current achievements, and it is estimated that he would not be able to find the north for a long time.
It can only be said that Xia Yaohan's vision is really good, the people gathered around her are very good, and then look at Guan Haifei's side, if it were those guys, I guess I wouldn't bother to pay attention to Zhang Yao now.
If you want to say that the most beautiful in her heart, of course, Xia Yaohan is still the most beautiful, the box office of 100 million directly made her earn nearly 20 million, and in a blink of an eye, she became a rich woman with a net worth of 10 million.
Zhang Yao's income was used to pay off his debts, and Xia Yaohan earned the most, and the others only paid 200 yuan a day for labor fees, which was exactly 1,000 yuan in five nights.
"When it comes to money, it's always easy to hurt feelings, and the labor fee of 200 yuan a day is compared to such box office revenue, don't be unbalanced." Xia Yaohan seemed to have deliberately mentioned this matter.
Xu Can shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and said, "Eldest sister, you don't know about us, although we are very envious, but we all know how much we are worth." Besides, we are all insiders, so we don't know anything about the film and television industry. ”
It is always the investors who make the most money from making movies, and no matter how much the investors earn after the actors get paid, it has nothing to do with them, and they can't be unbalanced because they get less.
In fact, it is not only the film and television industry, but also all walks of life, even if the nature of the work is important, a part-time worker can still get more than the boss? If you make less money, then be your own boss and invest yourself.
However, if the truth is like this, it is inevitable that some people will be indignant because of it.
Han Rongrong didn't look like this, Xia Yaohan said and took out a check from the small bag, and said, "From now on, my sister will also be a person who plays with checks, how about it, envy, right?" ”
"Big sister, come and see me, I haven't seen what a check looks like when I'm so big." Zheng Xiaohai immediately came over and reached out to take it.
"Loot you." Xia Yaohan slapped his hand with a pen, rolled his eyes and said, "What's the hurry, you will have a chance to study it well, and sleeping in your arms is not a problem." ”
Saying that, she opened the check and "swiped" to fill in the number and sign her name, Han Rongrong and the six of them did not have a check, and no one had a check, Qin Xiuping's eyes widened when she saw it, "Two hundred thousand?" Eldest sister, are you here for us? ”
"Nonsense, I don't want to write and play with you? As I said before, when I made a movie, I couldn't give you too much remuneration because of my limited budget, and now the success of the movie is also due to everyone. ”
Xia Yaohan did promise before that if the box office is a big hit, he will give out red envelopes, which is actually a very common practice in the film and television industry, as long as investors are not too stingy, they will give out red envelopes if the box office is good.
"200,000, it's the first time I've seen so much money in my life, how can it be too little. Eldest sister, you are so powerful, I will be dead set on messing with you in my life. Xu Can joked without skin and face.
Han Rongrong also kissed the check exaggeratedly and said, "I really want to sleep with this check tonight, and then think about what to buy tomorrow to treat myself." ”
Han Rongrong and their family backgrounds are not bad, but they can't be compared with Guan Haifei, although they usually don't worry about food and clothing, but 200,000 yuan is also a lot of income for them.
It took five nights to earn such a huge amount of money, which is also very good from this point of view.
"Look, look at you beautifully, don't be afraid to hit you, our school is loaned out by luxury cars every weekend, and those who don't make it a month will earn more than this amount, but don't go outside to talk about it, otherwise they will despise you for not seeing money."
"Well, that's really not enviable."
Seeing that the more and more they talked, Zhang Yao beckoned: "Okay, don't talk about gossip, we should still eat and drink, today is here to celebrate, not to hide and talk about gossip." ”
"Drink and drink." Xia Yaohan also greeted, and after three rounds of food and five flavors, Xu Cancai asked again: "Zhang Yao, speaking of which, you have a lot of money now, will you change your style and make some big pictures if you want to make movies in the future?" ”
Zhang Yao's current two movies are both single scenes, winning with creativity, although they are very subtle and can't pick out the thorns, but in the eyes of some sunspots, it has become a small pattern is a limitation of ability, and he can't control the big scene.
"He can only make movies with this small pattern in his life, and he is afraid that he will not be able to schedule more scenes." Slowly, there are many such arguments on the Internet.
Zhang Yao said: "This is not necessarily, I can't stick to this kind of small-scale movie, and I won't deliberately pursue any big scenes, the main thing is to read the script, and shoot whatever you want." ”
"We only have 20 million now, and it won't be too loud to smash them all, what a big scene." Xia Yaohan raised his wine glass and said that this amount of money is not much.
Zhang Yao followed and said: "It doesn't matter about the money, the main thing is the story itself, I haven't thought about the next movie yet, I don't plan to make a new film for the time being, let's talk about it then." ”
Zhang Yao's enthusiasm for making movies has not diminished because of the two works, but now he is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, but he is not in a hurry, and he has also thought about what genre he wants to shoot in the future.
As a movie lover, he also likes Hollywood's visual blockbusters that pursue sensory stimulation, and he also likes the exquisite stories of low-budget small productions, and he will not refuse any type of film as a public.
However, when it comes to filming, he still prefers the type of plot that makes people stunning, ingenious and brain-burning, and there are some alternative cult films that are also a big favorite, and I feel that making these movies will be more fulfilling.
From the beginning of the thrift to raise 3,000 yuan to make a movie, to now there are 20 million funds, Zhang Yao no longer has to worry about the budget, and the situation will only get better and better in the future.
One day, even if he wants to spend four or five hundred million to make a blockbuster, it is absolutely possible, and I believe it will not be too far, it depends on whether he is willing.
20 million is indeed not much, but if you don't deliberately pursue the scene, you don't need it at all, if you deliberately want to continue to be small and big, then 20 million is enough to shoot for a lifetime, and it may not be enough.
Besides, although he has offended many people in the film and television industry, and almost the entire screenwriters association is his enemy, it will not be difficult to attract investment now, and people who have a lot of money and no place to spend it will not care if he is an enemy of the whole people, anyway, the investor may not be in the film and television industry, he can also invest in him, but he doesn't want it.
