"Whew! Sure enough, it's a pretty good movie! ”

In the hotel, Menjie leaned on the head of the bed, and after watching the movie "Casting Names" in the Tianwang system, he couldn't help but whisper.

This movie is indeed quite good, even after watching it once, Menjie had to nod and admit it.

As early as two days ago, after Menjie selected the movie "Vote for Fame", he handed over everything to Wan Tongtong to operate, and he really lived up to Menjie's expectations, although because this movie is also the main movie that Huaxia Film Group is preparing to play, but after Wan Tongtong's verbal war, he finally successfully took away the script and brought the complete script to Menjie.

Naturally, the moment he got the script, the Tianwang system completely opened all the information of the entire movie to Menjie, which naturally included the original and complete movie "Casting Names".

And after the Tianwang system opened the details of this movie, Menjie naturally didn't say a word, went directly into it, and watched the movie over and over again.

After watching the movie three times in a row, Menjie quit the Tianwang system and couldn't help but sigh.

The movie "Casting a Name" is indeed a very good movie, no wonder it can become the third place in the 2007 Chinese box office list, the whole film is very strong in both literary and commercial nature, and after getting specific information, Menjie also knows that this movie has outstanding box office results at the same time, and its awards are also quite numerous.

Even the gold content of these awards is relatively high, which is not inferior to the trophy of the Golden Rooster Award for Best Actor in Chinese Films won by Menjie!

Obviously, after learning the specific results, Menjie also had to sigh that his choice was really correct!

However, this is only a conclusion reached after watching the specific results of the movie. And after fully understanding the information of the whole movie, Menjie kept his mouth shut, and his heart was full of helplessness.

Sure enough, no matter what it is, the best movie of the year in China, it is not a simple matter to create it, just like the director of the movie "Mei Lanfang" Chen Kaige is difficult to invite, and the movie "Casting the Name" wants to officially start filming, and there are many difficulties.

One of the most depressing Menjie. It's an investment!

The specific figure of investment is described in two versions in the Tianwang system, the first of which is the investment of 40 million US dollars, and the second version is its actual investment.

Because Huaxia does not have a fair film information website. Therefore, in order to promote their own movies, many film companies often lie about some data.

For example, the box office results of the movie, let's say the investment in the movie. More or less will lie about it.

But in the Heavenly King system. But the real numbers are directly given!

The first movie in the 2007 Chinese film box office list is the Hollywood blockbuster "Transformers", needless to say, and the second and third two movies are all war-themed movies.

Although it is no longer a costume film, one is a modern war chapter, but it is a grand scene. In fact, the gap between the two movies is not too big.

Even the scene of another movie "Assembly" is even grander!

But Rao is like this, the total investment of the movie "Assembly" is only 100 million soft girl coins. According to this standard, the investment in the movie "Vote for Fame" will probably be between 80 million and 100 million soft girl coins.

Of course, in terms of the cast of actors, the movie "Casting the Name" is much more than the movie "Assembly"!

According to the information in the Tianwang system, there are three male protagonists and one female protagonist in the movie "Casting Names", and the salary is quite expensive!

Among them, the heroine Xu Jinglei has the lowest salary, but this is also compared to the salary of the other three, but it has also reached 2 million yuan.

Among the remaining three, the salaries of Jin Chengwu and Liu Dehua are indeed similar.

In fact, normally speaking, Andy Lau is much higher than Jin Chengwu, but because of personal relationships, there is also Jin Chengwu who is about to star in the movie "Red Cliff", if he does not give a relatively high salary, he will not come to participate in this movie.

Naturally, his salary is slightly more, Jin Chengwu's salary has reached 12 million soft sister coins, while Liu Dehua's salary has reached 16 million soft girl coins.

However, compared with the total salary of these three people with a total of 30 million soft sister coins, the salary of the last person occupies the entire film, a considerable share of the budget!

Li Lianjie, the core of the three protagonists, has reached a terrifying 100 million soft girl coins just for one person's salary!

Even in an interview afterwards, director Chen Kexin also talked about this problem.

In fact, Li Lianjie's worth is currently about 15 million US dollars, and if converted into soft sister coins, it is about 120 million, and even last year's movie "Huo Yuanjia" Li Lianjie was the boss and did not receive remuneration, after the global screening of the film, Li Lianjie directly received 30 million US dollars, which can be described as quite a terrifying income.

The reason why he only collected 100 million soft girl coins at the box office when he participated in the movie "Casting a Name" is that Li Lianjie gave Chen Kexin a lot of face, and it is also because the movie "Casting a Name" is really a pretty good movie, which makes Li Lianjie quite tempted.

But even so, such a huge number also made Menjie quite helpless.

In this way, wouldn't the total investment of the movie "Vote for Fame" be around 200 million soft sister coins?

In this way, even if you count all industries such as peripheral products and online sales, if the movie "Casting a Name" wants to make money, it needs to win about 250 million at the box office!

"If that counts...... Even if the movie "Casting a Name" finally became the third film on the 2007 Chinese film list, it didn't make any money after the worst? ”

His eyes widened suddenly, and he felt a sense of disbelief.

Of course, although it only got a total box office of 200 million soft girl coins, plus peripheral products and online sales, it will still lose some money, but if you count the most rear. The award won by the movie "Vote for Fame" in China's top film awards ceremony brought to the production company is a small profit in the end.

Although the award is not equal to money, if it can be awarded, its significance is definitely not inferior to earning more box office.

Even I don't know how many entertainment companies invested by local tyrants in Ludao, after investing countless money, there is no way to win some awards with high gold content and improve the company's heritage.

Overall, even if it is configured with the original movie "Casting a Name". Celebrity film and television companies can also make a small profit.

But......

"Hehe, if you want to make money, of course you want to save money where you can!"

With a chuckle, Men Jie set his eyes on the notebook in his hand.

First wrote a message of 'production cost 80 million'.

The production cost of the movie can never be saved. Failure to do so may affect the score of the film itself.

After that, after thinking about it for a while. Menjie wrote down the words 'Liu Dehua 16 million'.

As a top actor in China with super high box office influence. Such a price is considered normal.

However, after writing about these two people, Menjie hesitated a little.

Jin Chengwu's salary of 12 million soft sister coins is indeed a bit much, in fact, in Menjie's mind, he can give him half of Liu Dehua's, and the salary of 8 million is normal.

"Forget it. Or use him to put it! ”

After thinking for a while, Menjie sighed helplessly, and only wrote the line of 'Jin Chengwu 12 million'.

When watching the movie "Casting a Name" before, Menjie did find that Jin Chengwu's acting skills had made a slight breakthrough. has definitely reached the level of A+, and in this movie, his acting skills have also been perfectly displayed, which is a great improvement from before.

Although the salary of 12 million is a bit high, at present, Menjie can't think of other actors who are handsome and have good acting skills.

"Forget it, just choose Jin Chengwu!"

Thinking in his heart, Chen Kexin and Jin Chengwu, the director he decided, have a very good relationship, and if the two cooperate, it will be not bad, so Menjie is no longer entangled, and directly finalized Jin Chengwu to play the role of 'Chen Wuyang' in the movie.

As a result, the total investment of the movie "Vote for Fame" has probably reached about 100 million soft girl coins.

"As for the most reluctant......

With a chuckle, Men Jie couldn't help but think in his heart.

The actor of the original movie "Casting Names" chose the highest-paid actor Li Lianjie in China at that time, and spent a budget of 100 million soft girl coins, and even because of this, the movie "Casting Names" could only barely recover the cost in the end.

And Menjie's current status in Huaxia is obviously incomparable to Li Lianjie!

During this period of time, Menjie can be described as 'doubling his value'.

Whether an actor's salary for participating in movies or TV series, it has a considerable relationship with his own strength and popularity.

At the beginning, Menjie's salary was very least, and even Menjie himself had forgotten how much money he had at the beginning.

Needless to say, in terms of TV series, just in terms of movies.

At the beginning, Menjie's salary when he participated in the movie "Kung Fu", because he was a supporting role, and it was a great luck to be able to appear in Zhou Xingchi's movie, plus Menjie's acting skills at that time were only at the C-level level, and in the end he only got a salary of 120,000 soft girl coins.

Very little, indeed.

However, after that, Menjie's salary has increased by leaps and bounds in every movie he starred in.

The second film "Jingwu Family" is still a supporting role, but it got a salary of 350,000 soft girl coins.

The third film work "Mythology" made Menjie get a salary of 800,000 soft girl coins, and even in this way, if Menjie plays a leading actor, I am afraid that it will directly exceed one million!

After all, at that time, Menjie's acting skills had reached B-level, and he could barely be regarded as a first-line actor, and it was normal to get a salary of nearly one million.

And with the passage of time, after the development of the entertainment industry has become more and more prosperous, the salaries and endorsement fees of actors have also been rising.

And after that, there was a TV series "Wulin Gaiden" in the middle, and then the new movie "Night Banquet".

And this movie. Menjie is the 'male protagonist' in it!

Although in a sense, Menjie and Wu Yanzu can be regarded as the protagonists, but they are no longer supporting roles, and the salary is naturally rising!

In an instant, Menjie's salary more than doubled, reaching a figure of 2 million soft girl coins.

However, such a result is similar to ordinary actors with B+-level acting skills at best, and it can be regarded as a normal price.

And after that, when he participated in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui", Menjie directly became the only actor in the whole movie. And the strength has also reached the level of A-level.

Under normal circumstances, an actor with A-level acting skills, if he plays the leading role in a certain movie, he can be paid about 4 million soft girl coins.

If it's Menjie, he can even get about five or six million with his strong popularity. But helplessly, when I just participated in the movie "The Ballad of Yunshui". Menjie's acting skills have not yet reached the level of A-level. So I only got a salary of 4 million soft sister coins.

The later movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" is an important work that really raised Menjie's salary to a higher level.

In terms of acting skills, it is still an A-level level, according to Huaxia's standards, that is, a salary of about four or five million, but Zack Snyder didn't talk nonsense at all, didn't bargain with Menjie's agent, and he didn't pay for it himself anyway - he directly gave a salary of $1 million.

If converted into soft sister coins, it is a horror salary of seven or eight million soft sister coins. is not even much worse than those actors with A+ level acting skills, they have already reached a level.

You must know that at that time, Menjie was two levels behind the level of A+ actors. There is nothing outstanding in terms of temperament, and it is just a little popular in China.

Being able to get such a salary is indeed a very good care for Menjie.

This also led to the fact that when he starred in the movie "Lust and Caution" in Menzhuo, the salary was still stable at such a level!

When Menjie passed the audition for the movie "Lust and Caution", his acting skills had already reached A-level, and in terms of temperament, he integrated two different temperaments, and even surpassed some top actors.

In addition, the salary of the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors" is quite high, and after Menjie's acting skills and temperament have improved, it is indeed a little unreasonable if you don't increase your salary.

And at that time, because Liang Chaowei was not able to participate in the movie "Lust and Caution", there was no other candidate for director Li Case for a while, and he directly gave Men Jie a salary of 10 million soft girl coins!

Such a terrifying salary is even more than an ordinary actor with A+-level acting skills!

The salary of an ordinary actor with A+-level acting skills and popularity is about 8 million, and there are a few special ones that can reach 10 million, so after hesitation, Menjie gladly accepted it.

In this way, Menjie's salary has reached the 'peak level of ordinary actors', which indeed makes many people in the circle look at Menjie with envy.

However, they also know that with Menjie's net worth, they definitely don't look down on this money!

Of course, Menjie definitely didn't let director Li Case lose money on his 10 million salary, and even because of what Menjie did recently, he definitely made Li Case a lot of money!

Not to mention anything else, just the trophy of a Huabiao Award actor and a Golden Rooster Award actor in Huaxia is enough to make the salary of only this A-level acting and A+ popular Menjie comparable to the average actor with A+-level acting skills.

In terms of salary, giving 8 million is definitely not a loss!

And after that, Menjie's own acting skills also broke through to the A+ level, and combined with the fusion of two different temperaments, he was already worthy of the 10 million soft girl coin paid by Li Case!

But after that, Menjie still had two breakthroughs to varying degrees.

First of all, in terms of temperament, among them, the 'majestic temperament' has even reached the level of 'top temperament', and I am afraid that only Fang Chenglong, Zhou Yunfa and Zhou Xingchi can compete with it in the entire Huaxia!

You must know that Lu Dao, the top temperament is supplemented by S+-level acting skills, even when the business is the most bleak, the salary of these three people can reach more than 50 million soft girl coins, if it encounters a special time, it is normal for the salary to exceed 100 million!

Just like Li Lianjie, as a leader among the top actors who are not inferior to Liang Chaowei, Li Lianjie's salary is at least 30 million soft girl coins, and because of the global popularity of his movie "Huo Yuanjia" last year, which made him quite popular in the overseas market, the salary has risen to the number of hundreds of millions of soft girl coins.

Li Lianjie, who has a salary of hundreds of millions of soft sister coins, does not have a top-notch temperament, but Menjie has, this alone is enough to make Menjie's salary skyrocket again!

And after that, Menjie instantly became popular all over the world with the movie "Spartan 300 Warriors", if you count all the popularity in the world, it can even be comparable to the level of ordinary S-class veteran top actors!

In terms of popularity, the veteran top actor who is comparable to the S-level, although his acting skills are slightly insufficient, but his temperament is far beyond them by one level, and it is also the product of the fusion of the two temperaments!

At the same time, it should be noted that the position that the movie "Lust and Caution" itself aims at is to try the Chinese market!

In terms of box office, it may have to rely on Huaxia's own market to recover costs, but the goal of the Li case is to win awards, and it is also a foreign award!

Compared with a local Chinese actor, Menjie, who has slightly entered the international market, obviously has more advantages!

Obviously, if you combine all the advantages, Menjie's worth is definitely comparable to that of ordinary S-level veteran top actors, and if you had known all this, you would even be able to get a salary of 25 million soft girl coins! (To be continued......)
