Chapter 301 Film Investment
Next, through the mouth of Qi An, Ouyang Xu had a general understanding of He Meitian, who is now twenty-three years old. But in fact, she is relatively young and looks much younger than her actual age. In fact, He Meitian is like this, and she deliberately put on makeup to maturity. According to the normal situation, she looks like she is even fifteen or sixteen years old, and she is matching her height of 1.55 meters. It's not an exaggeration to say that she is a high school student, or even a junior high school student.
He Meitian went out to work after graduating from high school, did not go to college, and has been working hard in Hengdian, but she has no connections, no relationship, and she has not even studied acting. It's so hard to get out like that.
Although she has not been able to get any good roles over the years, she has honed her acting skills every day. This time, the studio wanted to choose a newcomer, and I happened to meet her, although I felt that He Meitian was not a tall beauty. But her type of person, some roles in some movies, are still more suitable.
It's like "Spider-Man" this time. The heroine is a high school student, and He Meitian's appearance is simply too suitable. So in the end, the studio signed He Meitian.
"I'm twenty-three years old, but I look so young. Actually, you don't have makeup in the direction of maturity at all, well, the role of a high school student or even a junior high school student is quite timely. Come on. Ouyang Xu smiled and patted He Meitian's head.
With this height, as long as you raise your hand, you can touch her head, and it is just right to shoot and quite comfortable.
After He Meitian listened to Ouyang Xu's words, her expression stiffened slightly. It doesn't look like he's happy. Of course, that's actually what it is. Short people care most about what others say they are short, and especially tall people care most about others saying they are stupid and big. Those who are ugly also care about what others say about their appearance.
He Meitian's appearance looks petite, and it will even make people wonder if she is an adult, so naturally, she cares more about others saying that she is petite. But fortunately, He Meitian's current appearance and height will at most make people wonder if she is a junior high school student, and she will not be suspected of being a primary school student, otherwise she will really explode.
……
The male protagonist of the movie "Spider-Man" was taken away by Ouyang Xu, and the heroine was given to He Meitian, as for He Chen, he was not so lucky, and only got an inconspicuous little foot. After all, even if this movie is led by the studio, it can't occupy all the resources at once. At the same time, it also has something to do with He Chen's own image.
The studio is not short of money, and it has definitely made a lot of money in the past two years, even if it is invested in making this movie by itself, it can be made, but the movie is not played by one person, and it is relatively easy to shoot, but what about the channels for release after filming, there are other aspects. So in the end, for this film, the studio investment accounted for fifty percent of the total capital. The remaining 50 percent was distributed to other investors, of which Brother Entertainment, the company that had cooperated with the studio the most and cooperated more happily, accounted for 30 percent of the investment, and the remaining 20 percent attracted several other investors.
Because the studio occupies the largest amount of investment, it can directly win both the male and female protagonists. Of course, there aren't many people in the studio who can consume too many resources by eating with their faces. Except for arranging director Mo Yang into the crew as an assistant director, almost all the others were handed over to the brothers to entertain them. So no one suffers. It is precisely because of this that Brother Entertainment has always been very willing to cooperate with the face-based eating studio, because there are too many resources, the face-based eating studio can't be used at all, so naturally it can only be cheaper Brother Entertainment.
In addition, according to the script, there are also places that need special effects delineated, and in the end, the initial investment amount of this film is expected to be as high as 700 million.
Of course, if 700 million yuan is exchanged for a U.S. knife, it is actually only more than 100 million U.S. knives. It's not a big investment in the world. However, the 700 million yuan is already a big investment in China, and the investment of 700 million yuan, if it only relies on the movie box office to recover the cost, at least 1.5 billion movie box office will be able to recover the cost. After all, there is still a need for such a mess as taxes.
But with such a big investment, whether it is relying on the face to eat studio, brother entertainment, or other investors, they are not worried about losing money at all, because Ouyang Xu himself represents the box office of the movie. Just like the previous "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", a small-budget urban comedy movie can get a box office of 3 billion, and a single movie has made the studio that eats with its face net by making a net profit of one billion, which is still because the movie is not entirely invested by the studio itself.
Therefore, the investment of 700 million is indeed not a small amount, but for investors, investment is definitely a very cost-effective thing.
In terms of the actor's salary, in addition to Ouyang Xu's own salary of 70 million, the salary of the remaining other actors is not as much as Ouyang Xu alone, especially after the relevant departments issued a document to reduce the actor's salary, the salary of all actors has been reduced by a large margin. So even the salaries of all the actors combined, including Ouyang Xu's salary, are only about 100 million in total. In other words, of the 700 million expected investment, in addition to the 100 million for the actor's salary, the remaining 600 million is completely the cost of filming.
The shooting plus the special effects part adds up to almost 600 million.
So in terms of special effects, there is no need to worry about it at all, and it will definitely be done to the best extent.
After Ouyang Xu knew how much money he would spend on special effects, he didn't worry that the special effects of the movie would become the kind of special effects that cost five cents.
Although the plot is simple, there are faint plots of some online dicks counterattacking. Plus special effects. Combined, this would definitely be a successful popcorn movie. The final box office of the movie will definitely not be less.
In addition, Ouyang Xu has nothing to do with anything else. Even if the director found by the crew was, Ouyang Xu didn't pay much attention to it.
Of course, the director of this movie is definitely not a small matter, after all, with a total investment of 700 million, at least you have to find a reliable and trustworthy director.
