Chapter 615 Actor Cost Performance Ranking

Every year, Forbes magazine publishes information on the value for money of Hollywood movie artists, including lists such as "Top 10 Most Overrated Movie Stars" and "Top 10 Most Cost-effective Male and Female Movie Stars". These lists not only provide a reference for investors, but also can really satisfy the curiosity of Hollywood movie lovers. Of course, it also represents the attitude of public opinion and media to pay systematic attention to an industry.

For the Chinese film industry, which is gradually maturing and standardizing, such a list has also started this year: the cost-effective ranking of Chinese film actors. This list does not distinguish between gender and income, of course, there is no rigorous calculation method like Forbes for the time being, and it is impossible to have absolutely accurate data, the calculation formula is very simple, that is, cost performance = total box office / total salary.

There have been such statistics before, but they have not received large-scale publicity, and this year, it has attracted the attention of the Chinese people under the vigorous publicity of Southern Weekly, Guangming Daily, and other entertainment newspapers.

Last year, Yang Lin starred in not many movies, the most famous of which was "Baby Plan" with Jackie Chan, and he also had good performances in the rest of the movies, and he ranked ninth last year.

performed with many superstars, and the box office was naturally good. And the low salary as a newcomer has added a boost to his progress on the top of the rankings.

Yang Lin, who returned to Bei~Beijing, was also surprised that he won the first place in the actor cost performance list jointly released by authoritative media this year, but this is also expected.

"You are so cost-effective, you must not worry about the script problem in the future." Zhang Qian took the newspaper and said in a matter-of-fact manner. Yang Lin's salary is not a first-line salary in China, and he is now barely relying on his super high box office appeal and the advantage of entering Hollywood, and he has reached the level of tens of millions of salaries.

In China, the highest-paid figure is Chow Yun-Fat Jackie Chan-level figures. Chow Yun-fat is recognized as a box office poison, with a salary of up to 30 or 40 million, but the box office of the movie is just over 100 million.

Jackie Chan and Jet Li are even more expensive. In many cases, the remuneration for making a movie is calculated in dollars. It is said that "Casting a Name", which is currently in the Lunar New Year file, has spent more than 90 million yuan on Jet Li's salary.

Yang Lin shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly and said, "Is this any convincing?" I'm in first place not because the movie is high at the box office, but because my salary is extremely cheap. If you can become the first place next year, that's the best! ”

He Hong glanced at Yang Lin and said with a smile: "I can't see it, your ambitions are quite ambitious." The key point is that you don't have any plans for next year, and you don't even know which movie to appear in, how did you become the top of the list! Hollywood movies don't count. ”

Yang Lin's worth is also that he went to Hollywood. And it only rose after starring in two blockbusters in Hollywood in a row, this time he starred in "Old Boy" because it was invested by his own company, so he took a symbolic salary of 3 million, according to normal speaking, he should be regarded as 10 million, but so far, the highest salary is only more than 7 million.

This summer, "Mei Lanfang" created a miracle of Chinese films, and the box office is not inferior to some Hollywood blockbusters, but the total investment in this movie is only more than 90 million, of which 15 million is Zhang Ziyi's salary. And although Yang Lin is the absolute actor of the movie, he is only more than 7 million.

In the previous "Lust Caution". Yang Lin's name ranks third in the list of actors, and in front of him are Tony Leung's 30 million box office, Tang is only 1.5 million, and he ranks second among actors with 4.5 million.

As of December 20, 2007, Yang Lin has won a total of 1.3 billion box office this year. And that's not counting the $1.05 billion that "Transformers" earned worldwide.

And now "Old Boy" has won 140 million box office in a rage, and this number will inevitably continue to rise in the upcoming weekend and Christmas. This growth rate is more than that of "Mei Lanfang" in the summer.

In the Chinese New Year file, can "Old Boy" soar into the sky? What about breaking the myth created by Yang Lin himself? It's a question that everyone is looking forward to.

"Seeing that 2007 is coming to an end, although this winter, the cold wind is blowing loudly, but the film market is a different lively scene. At this time, it is the high ~ tide of the Chinese New Year war, and the heroes of the film market are in full swing. If you talk about the lively situation of the film market, we must start with the beautiful start of the year, and then say that the several rounds of intestinal battles at that time created a miracle in the film market, opened the prelude to the film in 2007, and made the film market in 07 an unprecedented scene: the film genre is diversified, the box office has repeatedly set records, and the pattern of princes has gradually become clear. So what exactly was the miracle at the beginning of the year? The ranking officials can't help but ask, stay in the next detail."

Looking at the beginning of this list, Yang Lin couldn't help but smile, indeed, this year's films have surpassed last year's box office in an all-round way, not to mention, they also won the highest awards at the Berlin Film Festival and the Venice Film Festival, and won the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival.

"Taking stock of this year's Chinese-language films, we have to mention Yang Lin's name, he had a total of four movies in 2007, each of which easily exceeded 100 million, becoming the first actor in the history of Chinese films to break 100 million at the annual box office. At the same time, the movie "Mei Lanfang" starring him broke the box office of 290 million held by "The City Full of Golden Armor", and won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. The movie "Old Boy", which is being screened for the Chinese New Year, has set off a nostalgic trend, with a box office exceeding 100 million in three days, and now the momentum is unabated, and the box office is expected to reach 200 million in the first week. ”

As of the date of publication, Yang Lin won 1.3 billion yuan at the box office in 2007, and the total remuneration contract was 16 million yuan, and the cost performance was 81.24:1, which means that for every yuan invested, the investor can get 81.24 yuan. This data is the best of all actors. ”

Mid-range investment in movies accounts for the vast majority, Yang Lin's success is not accidental, he is the first in the major rankings this year. Although Yang Lin's salary on the Forbes China celebrity income list is not high, he has been very successful in investing in movies, TV series, and variety shows, and he is even more dominant in albums and concerts.

Firefly Entertainment Company made a total of three investments in 2007, and the summer file of "Du Lala's Promotion" collected 180 million yuan at a box office cost of 30 million, and Yang Lin earned almost 80 million yuan after deducting the distributor's money.

The next one is the recording and playback of "The Voice of China", now several mentors have selected the students, and the knockout competition is about to begin, and each mentor can only decide one of the four students. And the outstanding players in the competition will have the opportunity to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala, which is a huge commitment.

The ratings of "The Voice of China" have repeatedly climbed to the peak, bringing a lot of advertising revenue to Dragon TV, and even the usual ratings are a few percentage points higher than before, and this show has earned more than 100 million for Yang Lin, this is indeed a hen that can lay eggs.

The investment of six million yuan into "Struggle" is probably the wisest decision Yang Lin has ever made. Only 6 million got 30% of the investment, and after "Struggle" became popular all over the country, it received more than 70 million dividends. This is to let the rest of the investors know, I am afraid that it will not only sigh.

And what is even more amazing is that this "Old Boy", with a total investment of less than 10 million yuan, has a box office of 140 million yuan, which is only a six-day achievement.

was only released in three places: the mainland, Hong Kong~Hong Kong, and Taiwan~Bay, and "Old Boy" appeared on the global box office list, which made "I Am Legend", which was really released worldwide, a little embarrassing.

140 million yuan contract 23 million US dollars, ranking second on the global box office list this week, shocked the attention of countless people. The previously released "I Am Legend" only grossed $37 million worldwide, but it was screened in more than 100 countries and regions.

This achievement shows how great the box office potential of the Chinese mainland market is, and also strengthens the determination of Hollywood films to conquer the mainland film market. This achievement also made Spielberg and some professionals in North America change their views on Yang Lin, who would have thought that a movie released in one country would be able to make a splash at the global box office.

In the face of Yang Lin winning the first place in the actor cost performance list this time, stars, audiences, and critics have their own opinions, after all, the box office of a movie cannot be counted on the head of one actor alone, which is unfair to the rest.

Yang Lin is the second male lead in "Lust and Caution", but the box office of this movie is also counted in the box office carried by Yang Lin, which is naturally inappropriate, but the phenomenon of stars gathering together is still very serious, and it is impossible to distinguish too clearly.

Besides, the actor's salary is just a general concept, and the person in charge of the statistics is only guessing based on the data revealed during the promotion of the movie, who knows how much Yang Lin's salary is?

Approvals and doubts continued, but no one said that Yang Lin was not worthy of his name, and his performance in 2007 was obvious to all and was recognized by everyone.

"Save a little energy, now after rushing over to shoot the cover of the New Year's edition of Esquire, it's time to pack up and go abroad. If you're not in good shape, God knows what Spielberg will do to us! ”

Zhang Qian thought about it with palpitations, and couldn't help but shudder.

Many book friends are responding that I don't have a fixed update time, and I'm guilty. There are two difficulties, one is that I don't save the manuscript, and I code the words when I have time, and send them after the code is finished. The second is that I can't access the Internet at home, because I rub off on the wireless network of my neighbor's house, so sometimes I can't get on the Internet.

I'm sorry for the repeated refreshes of the page, but from tomorrow, I'll pay attention to the time!
