Chapter 216: The new film starts shooting

In January 2oo1, autumn was high and cool.

The crew of "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" has been prepared, and most of the people in this movie are newcomers. Many familiar faces of Wang Qinian's team are not in this play.

The actors in front of the stage of the crew of "Jianghu" basically went to Hong Kong to shoot the sequel. However, Golden Harvest Film Company does not lack an excellent behind-the-scenes film team, so the cameraman, lighting, special effects, etc. did not follow.

For the script of "Jianghu 2", Wang Qinian has also read it. The main plot is that the protagonist Li Xia escorted his classmates and teachers to Hong Kong for refuge because of the war. In Hong Kong, they reopened their classrooms, worked hard to learn cultural knowledge, and when the country needed them to build, they returned to serve the country.

Soon after going to Hong Kong, the Japanese army started a larger war, and Hong Kong began to fall. In the context of the fall of Hong Kong, Li Xia began to be forced to strike again to protect and save the people he cared about.

The scenes in "Jianghu 2" are even grander, with the background from Hong Kong all the way to the Pacific War. Li Xia in the Pacific War, because of a high-ranking Allied officer, began to cooperate with the United States, Britain and other allied forces, of course, the United States and Britain allies, did not want to believe that Li Xia, a "Chinese martial artist", had great ability, until Li Xia showed great strength. Countless Japanese pillboxes and positions were destroyed at will, and countless planes were knocked out. An even more exaggerated scene was the sinking of the Japanese aircraft carrier by personal force.

Of course, for this unscientific phenomenon, the high-level leaders of the Allied forces can only make fake news to the people and help Li Xia cover it up.

When the war finally ended, the Allied top brass tried to use anesthetics. After numbing Li Xia, he tried to study Li Xia's body and master the technology of making people.

In the final stage of the movie, Li Xia angrily destroys a secret real room of the US military in New York. In the top-secret text, he is referred to as a "humanoid nuclear bomb......

To put it simply, the script of "Martial Arts 2" still leaves suspense, and it is estimated that if the movie is not bad, it may continue to make a sequel.

This is also the norm in the film industry, a hot film copyright. may be made of sequels to make money continuously. For example, movies such as "X-Men", "Spider-Man", "Iron Man", "Transformers", and "Resident Evil" are sequels every few years.

In general, sequels tend to be inferior in quality to the other, but sometimes. A sequel with worse and worse quality. On the contrary, it is more profitable than the previous work with better reputation and quality.

Plans for Golden Harvest films. Wang Qinian is noncommittal, but he also wishes "Jianghu 2" to be successful. After all, "Jianghu 2" continues to use the actors of the little partner company. If. Movies can be sold well, the value of artists in partner companies can also skyrocket, and companies can also earn more brokerage fees.

It is precisely because the behind-the-scenes personnel did not go that the impact on the company's own "Song and Dance Youth" movie shooting is not very great.

And it is precisely because the main actors who are popular in the company have all gone to film "Jianghu 2", so Wang Qinian has become popular with another batch of newcomers with new dramas.

The investment budget for the movie "Youth Singing and Dancing Youth" is not very large, and the budget for the whole movie is 5oo yuan. For most domestic directors in 2oo1, it is still a film with a high cost.

But for a successful director like Wang Qinian, the three films have not lost money since his debut, and the latest film "Jianghu" has established his reputation as the king of the domestic film box office.

8ooo box office, except for last year's main theme movie, because units across the country organized chartering and achieved a box office of 100 million. At present, there is really no domestic film, and the domestic box office has passed "Jianghu"!

If Wang Qinian is a professional director who specializes in making films with investors' money, then he must hope that the budget of the next film will be as high as possible, so that he can continue to increase the director's own value.

But Wang Qinian is the boss of the little partner company, not only from the perspective of the director, but also from the perspective of the little partner company exhibition. The previous "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" and "Jianghu" have racked their brains and tried their best to make a profit in order to keep the myth that Wang Qinian's investment in each film does not lose money.

In particular, "Jianghu" won the domestic box office championship, and the box office in Southeast Asia is also good, but the box office share is still not profitable. made Wang Qinian have to sell the copyright of the sequel to the movie, and the cheating generally maintains the myth that each of his movies can bring profits to investors.

But the box office revenue could not be recovered, which made Wang Qinian sober up all of a sudden, realizing that the investment risk of "blockbusters" is quite large. In particular, when the domestic box office market is only 100 million, playing blockbusters with an investment cost of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of budgets, in fact, this is similar to gambling.

It is precisely because of this that Wang Qinian began to take a step back, and the new film "Singing and Dancing Youth" was invested by the partner company itself, and the budget was reduced to 5oo yuan.

has lowered the budget for the new film, but in fact, the salaries of the actors and crew have not been reduced much.

For example, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun, two classmates, are both paid 5o yuan. For Huang Xiaoming, it is basically in line with his worth. For the current Chen Kun, the salary of 5o yuan is much higher than the salary of his other plays.

As for the participation of gir1s, among the 12 people, the two who play the leading role get a salary of 20,000 yuan. The others get 10,000 yuan each. Basically, no one is too little, you know, they are still very hard, in the stage of seniority, they only get a basic salary of more than 1ooo every month, and the appearance fees of various performances basically have nothing to do with them, advertising endorsements or something...... It seems that it hasn't become so popular yet.

At the beginning of the movie, the gir1s group was chattering and looking very excited.

Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun in the crew also seemed a little enthusiastic in the face of such a group of girls, and kept telling them how to film.

In order to pull Huang Xiaoming into the partner company, Chen Kun quietly said: "Brother Xiao Ming, look, how is the strength of the partner company?" If you want money, you want fame, and you want people to ......," he said, he frowned and said, "The number of beauties is even more numerous!" Think about it and come to our company too! ”

"This, I'll have to think about it!" Huang Xiaoming is actually a little moved.

If he had invited Huang Xiaoming to join two years ago, he would not have considered it. But the success of the current partner company is obvious to all.

Even like some predecessors in the film and television industry, such as Forbidden City Pictures and New Pictures, it seems that the box office revenue is far inferior to that of partner companies. In addition, some cutting-edge talents in the film and television industry, such as Huayi and Guangguang, are also much inferior.

The small partner company is also a large-scale company engaged in equity incentives for outstanding employees in the film and television culture industry. If you get up early to join a small partner company, you can obviously get a share of the company's growth dividends. (To be continued......)
