0031 【Four Things】
Looking at the noisy reporters, Wang Zhonglei took the microphone with a smile: "Please be quiet, tonight is the celebration banquet of "Crazy Stone", I know that you have a lot of questions to ask, and there will be enough time for questions later, and there is no hurry to eat, hehe." That's the case, first of all, on behalf of Huayi Brothers, I would like to congratulate Director Shao Shuaijun and all the crew members, you have made a classic movie, thank you! ”
Bang Bang Bang!
Everyone applauded vigorously.
"I want to say four things here, the first thing, Huayi Brothers has discussed with director Shao Shuaijun to take out 10% of the box office share, that is, 5 million to reward all crew members, and everyone has a red envelope!" Wang Zhonglei announced loudly.
"Whew!" Huang Bo and other young actors howled hula. The reporters also applauded and were envious. Red envelopes have always been a big killer and make people red.
"The second thing is that Huayi Taihe Film and Television Investment Company has signed a contract with director Shao Shuaijun, and in the future, director Shao Shuaijun's director agency contract will be managed by Huayi Taihe Film and Television Investment Company. The third thing is that Huayi Taihe Film and Television Investment Co., Ltd. will jointly establish Huayi Shao Shuaijun Studio with director Shao Shuaijun, which is responsible for assisting director Shao Shuaijun to complete film shooting and film investment. The fourth thing is invested by Huayi Taihe Film and Television Investment Company, produced by Huayi Shao Shuaijun Studio, and the movie "Crazy Racing" was officially approved, and filming will start at the end of the month at the latest. ”
Wang Zhonglei finished the rest of the matter in one breath, and then put down the microphone and signaled that the reporters could ask questions as much as they wanted.
"May I ask Mr. Wang and Director Shao, can you introduce the specific content of the contract between the two of you?"
Shao Shuaijun did not react, Wang Zhonglei answered: "Director Shao Shuaijun is a famous young director, although he has only shot two films, but we Huayi believe that Director Shao's future is unlimited, therefore, the contract content is completely reached under the premise of mutual respect, there are no fixed shooting requirements, and there is no regulation of the director's behavior, the company only acts as the agent of director Shao Shuaijun." ”
"May I ask Mr. Wang, Huayi and Director Shao signed a contract and jointly set up a studio, is it a conflict with each other?"
"There is no conflict, the signing is for the investment of the film, which is set for Huayi Taihe's investment in Director Shao's film. The studio is responsible for the filming of the movie, and if Director Shao likes any good scripts, or if there are some scripts that he doesn't want to shoot and invest in others to shoot, he can operate through the studio, and Huayi Taihe will not interfere. ”
"So, can Director Shao reveal that the relevant content of the new movie "Crazy Racing" is a sequel to "Crazy Stone"?"
"It's not a sequel, it's a new story, a story about a race car driver, but it will be shot with the original cast of Crazy Stone. The specific content must not be revealed, because the screenwriter is in the process of writing, and many contents still need to be referred to when the director is in place. ”
"So, the new script wasn't filmed by Director Shao?"
"I have no plans to shoot, and the new script has been confirmed to be directed by Ning Hao, the director of "Incense".
"Who is Ning Hao? Why didn't Director Shao shoot it himself? Is it because the script is not as good as "Crazy Stone"? ”
"Of course not, "Crazy Racing" is no worse than "Crazy Stone", on the contrary, in terms of scenes and production, it must surpass "Crazy Stone", and I discussed with Mr. Wang that we may have to invest 10 million for filming. As for director Ning Hao, he is a very talented young director, many of his ideas coincide with the script, and I believe that he will bring you a good movie that is not inferior to a stone. ”
After a brief explanation of the four things, Shao Shuaijun stopped answering questions, retreated backstage, and gave up the limelight to Guo Tao, Huang Bo, Xu Mian and other leading actors. "Crazy Stone" has a box office of more than 100 million, excluding film funds and taxes, as well as the share of theaters, there are nearly 50 million left, Huayi and Shao Shuaijun split it in half, and then threw out the 5 million red envelopes, and both sides shared nearly 20 million each.
Shao Shuaijun made a net profit of 17 million yuan after excluding the investment of 3.5 million yuan, and Huayi also earned almost 10 million yuan after deducting 10 million propaganda expenses. This is the current income on the books, and the movies are hot, and the accompanying DVD distribution and release in Southeast Asia are also starting to heat up, which will definitely be a huge amount of income.
Now some countries in Hong Kong, Taiwan, South Korea and Southeast Asia have begun to send people to Huayi to discuss the release of the film, and it is expected that after the release of these places, it will be able to win at least 50 or 60 million at the box office, and the net income will reach 30 million. In order to curb piracy, DVDs are sold at a low price, 12 yuan a piece, which is not much money, but every time a piece is sold, it is a net profit, and it is not a problem to add another 10 million income.
In other words, there are still more than 40 million incomes waiting behind, and even if they are divided equally, both sides will be able to earn 20 million each. In other words, this movie helped Shao Shuaijun net 37 million, and Huayi made more than 30 million. Three months of shooting, one month of release, and making so much money in just four months, there are enough reasons to hold a grand celebration banquet.
Huayi's artists, whether they are Wang Jinhua's subordinates or Erwang's subordinates, as long as they have free time, they all come to participate. There are also a lot of directors in the circle, several leaders of China Film and Shanghai Film have also been invited to come, and a low-ranking deputy director of the Film Bureau of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has also been invited.
If it is an ordinary artist, Shao Shuaijun is too lazy to pay respects, but everyone in the director's circle has to take turns to pay respects. Each industry has its own rules, and if you want to mix in the film industry, you can't offend the director group. Don't look at some directors who are unsatisfactory, and even a blockbuster movie has not been made, if you really offend, the consequences will be very serious.
Especially the fifth-generation directors who are now rampant, such as Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, and Chen Kaige, are all from large state-owned film companies, have extensive connections, and are all big names in the whole body. And the up-and-coming sixth-generation directors, such as Jia Zhangke and Lu Chuan, are not trained by famous teachers, they are protégés of the third and fourth generations of antique-level directors, and their connections are also vast.
Therefore, Shao Shuaijun, who is temporarily crowned with the title of a new generation of directors, can't offend these big names if he wants to mix in the director circle.
Zhang Yimou was busy filming "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone", Feng Xiaogang was busy filming "There Are No Thieves in the World", these two directors who can have a little relationship with Shao Shuaijun are not there, and there are some sixth-generation directors in the celebration banquet, such as Lu Chuan , Lu Xuechang, etc. is not a generation, and he can't talk to a pot of urethra, after the toast, Shao Shuaijun returned to the main table and continued to listen to the Wang Zhonglei brothers bragging with the leaders of China Film, Shanghai Film and the deputy director of the Film Bureau.
No one cares about Shao Shuaijun, all of you are dozens of years old, and they won't look up to Shao Shuaijun because of a movie of more than 100 million yuan.
Shao Shuaijun is also happy, watching all living beings and savoring life on the sidelines.
