Chapter 516: Shocking Press Conference

3.6 billion Chinese coins, not counting the box office in Europe, Africa and other places, "Source Code" handed over an incredible box office answer!

"Seeing this data, I am not calm for a moment!"

"Is this a Hollywood blockbuster or a Chinese-language film? I'm a Spartan! ”

"Chinese sci-fi films comparable to Hollywood blockbusters, whether it is exciting, word-of-mouth, or box office, this shows that our Chinese filmmakers are no worse than American imperialist filmmakers, and the reason why there has always been a huge gap is just because we haven't found the right way. Find the right way, for us smart Chinese people, it is not difficult to shoot a blockbuster blockbuster of 5 or 600 million US dollars, or even 1 billion US dollars! ”

……

The Internet, TV stations, newspapers and magazines, etc., all fell under the box office storm of "Source Code" after August 7, reporting the news with a tone of amazement, praise, and even adoration.

Everyone who participated in the filming of "Source Code" became famous with the birth of the data of 3.6 billion and became a popular star who attracted worldwide attention.

Li Qingxia, who has just debuted for only three years, has become a second-tier actress in China, and her popularity is only slightly inferior to Tang Xinya, Zhou Bing, and Lin Bingbing.

Zhao Ziyi not only stabilized her reputation as an international actress, but also went further, and had a lot of box office appeal in Asia and even the United States.

Wu Chaofan, who has studied in the United States for more than a year, is now soaring from a domestic first-line actor two years ago to an international celebrity today, with fame all over Asia and the United States, with high popularity and high salary, once again surpassing Luo Ye, who became popular in Asia because of "Ling Hu Chong". Now, where does Wu Chaofan appear. Wherever there is a sea of people and screams. As for the salary, it has risen directly from the previous 5 million to 10 million!

As soon as the salary offer of 10 million came out, not many people thought it was expensive, but most people took it for granted, because the total box office of a "Source Code" was 3.6 billion. The 10 million salary is just a drizzle. On the contrary, many people think that Wu Chaofan's salary can continue to rise, if he can make one or two more blockbusters. Now, the reason why Wu Chaofan's salary does not dare to report 20 million or 30 million is because the box office of only "Source Code" has broken 1 billion in China.

There is a big difference in the salary of celebrities, and the salary of a first-line superstar is only four or five million, but like Cheng Jie, his salary is about 100 million, a difference of 20 times!

The reason is simple. A-list superstars only have box office appeal in China, but Cheng Jie's box office appeal is global, and his movies can be sold to any corner of the world. The producer invited Cheng Jie to make a movie with a salary of 100 million, and the box office in China was a loss, but he could sell the copyright to every country in the world, and he still had to earn it in the end, so Cheng Jie was worth 100 million in salary. Ask those first-line superstars to make movies, if the domestic box office results are removed from the cost, sharing, etc. In the end, if there is a loss, it can only be a loss. So the salary can't go up.

Therefore, for first-line superstars, the amount of remuneration depends on how much box office they can get in the movies they act in China, and it also depends on how important they are in the film.

As the absolute protagonist, if most of the movies he plays have a box office of over 100 million, the salary will be at least 10 million.

If not the absolute protagonist. It's only when you cooperate with other people, and the salary is definitely a little lower, but it can also rush to 10 million, which is acceptable.

Wu Chaofan is now at the middle of the domestic first-line superstar and the international superstar, with a price of 10 million. Fair and reasonable.

Of course, some people expressed dissatisfaction, saying that Wu Chaofan's salary had risen too outrageously, because the biggest credit for the movie "Source Code" was Stephen Zhao's, not his Wu Chaofan's.

"It's not Xing Ye, he's Wu Chaofan a fart!" This is a mindset that these people share and have.

Many people immediately retorted: "Wu Chaofan only asked for 10 million, and he didn't ask for 100 million, where is it high?" Even if the biggest credit for "Source Code" is Xing Ye's, can it be said that Wu Chaofan has no credit? Xing Ye took 3.6 billion at the box office and made a lot of money, so he didn't allow Wu Chaofan's salary to rise to 10 million? What a mentality, you people! ”

The men immediately fell silent.

That's right, if Wu Chaofan, Zhao Ziyi and others have gained a lot because of "Source Code", Stephen Zhao has gained a lot because of "Source Code".

Not only the harvest of money, but more importantly, the harvest of the brand, the brand of his "Stephen Zhao"!

Celebrities are all living "brands"!

One movie after another swept the Asian box office market, and the fame of the three words "Stephen Zhao" finally exploded after "Source Code" and became a brand with huge box office appeal. Nowadays, as long as a movie is marked as "written by Stephen Zhao" or "produced by Stephen Zhao" or "produced by Stephen Zhao", the distribution of the film in all Asian countries and regions has become much easier. Although it has not reached the goal of making cinema operators blind, as long as the quality is acceptable, they will directly nod and agree, and there is no need to discuss or consider.

There is also an example, the "Cyborg" directed by Zhao Xiaogang.

A week after the release of "Source Code" was in full swing, "Cyborg" held a launch conference in the magic capital, the male number one is Xia Gutian, and the female number one is You Jiaxin.

On the day of the start of filming, Zhang Tianlin settled the distribution of the film in Asia, because he went to negotiate with the theater company in the name of "screenwriter Stephen Zhao", and the theater company just took the plan of "Cyborg" and read it once, and readily agreed. Now, even the release date has been set, just July 1, 2019, and it will be released simultaneously in all countries and regions in Asia!

When the news was released, not only were people from the outside world thundered, but Stephen Zhao was also very speechless when he found out.

People in the outside world are shocked by Red Star Media's increasingly powerful film production and distribution capabilities, and the movies are being shot one after another, and it is actually a science fiction film; The ability of film distribution is getting better and better, not only in all Asian countries and synchronously, but also in the scheduled synchronicity, which means that theater operators in all countries are moving the schedule for the film "Cyborg". As for the fact that the script of "Cyborg" was written by Stephen Zhao. They selectively ignored it, because there were too many good movies written by Stephen Zhao, and they were already shocked to the point of numbness.

Zhao Xingchi was speechless, he was speechless, Zhang Tianlin, this guy actually cut first and then played, and he didn't report to him when he went to negotiate under his sign.

However, Stephen Zhao did not punish him in the end. There was no reprimand, just a laugh.

As long as Zhang Tianlin can help him make money, these problems are not a problem.

……

On August 8, the day after the painting of "Source Code", Stephen Zhao held a press conference on the new film in Beijing that shocked the whole country and even the whole of Asia, and even the news traveled across the ocean and was published on the front page of many major national newspapers in the United States and Europe.

At this press conference, in addition to Zhao Xingchi and his Red Star Media team, there were also Huayi Media team, Rey Brothers team, China Film Group team, and the most eye-catching Huaxia Space Agency team. There are more than 50 stars present, all of whom are at the level of first-line and superstars in China, and the lineup is unprecedented and luxurious!

There is only one reason that shocked the world, Stephen Zhao's movie actually cooperated with the Huaxia Space Agency!

"Unbeatable luxury!"

"I'm shocked, Xing Ye's new movie actually cooperates with the Space Agency!"

"This is the rhythm of making a super sci-fi blockbuster!"

"I have never seen how powerful the science and technology of the US imperialists are, and what we are doing is the spaceships and space warships of the US imperialists. Super bull technology. ”

"It's worthy of the star master, and he's getting bigger and bigger!"

"The future of Chinese cinema. It's up to Xing Ye, no one else can do it, Chen Shuluo and Wang Baogang have to stand aside. ”

"In the Chinese film industry, apart from Xing Ye, who else can have this kind of creativity? Dare to be creative? Dare to act? They are all a group of second-rate filmmakers who cling to the defects and only know how to follow the trend! ”

"What kind of sci-fi film does Xing Ye want to make?"

""Cyborg", which started filming a few days ago. Xing Ye only wrote the script and then didn't care, and he didn't even show up at the start-up press conference. Now this movie is not only here in person, but also invites such a big coffee, it seems that it is ready to play a big game! ”

……

The scene of the press conference. All the media reporters present were excited.

As for the fans, they screamed excitedly as early as the appearance of one star after another, hysterical, and eager to vent all their emotions at once.

"Welcome to the ......" With the simple opening remarks of the beautiful host Ai Zhenzhen, Stephen Zhao took a small headset on the stage, and then with the help of the staff, pulled down the red silk that covered the giant propaganda poster, revealing the true face of the poster.

Behind the fluttering red silk is a rendered 3D special effects drawing, huge, two meters high and three meters long, with bright colors, but not vain, and very realistic.

On the special effects map, there was a picture that made everyone in an uproar and then stunned.

In general, this is a picture of astronauts floating in space, the background is pure black, the left third of the page is a bird's-eye view of the Earth from space, a bright white light is close to the Earth, in the center to the left, the center to the right is two astronauts who have shrunk several times, wearing thick spacesuits, one of them can't see his face clearly, and one of them can see his face clearly.

Everyone at the scene carefully identified the astronaut who could see his face clearly, and soon recognized it, it was the new "goddess" Li Qingxia who appeared at the launch conference in a black dress, hair coiled, two big earrings in earrings, and high heels!

However, Li Qingxia's beautiful outfit today was wasted, as their attention was quickly diverted away from her and re-projected onto the propaganda poster.

There is no doubt that the poster is a shocking picture!

Spectacular!

Magnificent!

Magnificent!

……

They couldn't find the words to describe this picture, and they couldn't find the words to describe how shocked they were at the moment, so they lost their minds for a long time! (To be continued......)
