Chapter 203: It's okay to write a joke and hack yourself
The award ceremony was followed by a press conference, where the winners were interviewed by various media outlets.
The main thing that has attracted attention is Du Qixi.
After he recovered, he also behaved like a normal person.
After all, he graduated from Nortel and has already made two films, even if he listens to some of his remarks and thinks he is a straw bag, the reporter will make up a deeper explanation in his own brain.
took the Silver Bear, and the Best New Actor.
Lin Dong and Du Qixi stayed in Venice for two days before going to Toronto.
It's not a screening, it's not an award, Toronto doesn't do awards, it's just a place to sell movies.
No one in Venice has ever paid more than a million dollars.
The two came to Toronto.
It's really more lively here, and there are many filmmakers.
Lin Dong and Du Qixi set up a stall and hung a makeshift poster that introduced the movie, and then focused on the Silver Bear Award and the Best New Actor.
The main competition unit, two awards, including the Silver Bear Award.
At the beginning, it was a small film businessman, the kind of remote and small country, and the names of countries and regions that he had never heard of, and Du Qixi didn't care about it.
All $500 was sold.
The good ones are only 10,000 dollars.
More than a dozen orders were received, and tens of thousands of dollars were recorded.
The real big heads are not these, these can be sold, who cares about the price.
The real sales of Chinese movies should be in Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea, Africa, Europe, and North America, but this is also the best of the shorts.
Among these big heads, the first to open was European copyright.
An old iron from a corrupt country paid $400,000 to buy the overseas rights in Europe.
What's even more touching is that this Lao Tie and Lin Dong chatted happily.
also introduced Indian film companies, and finally gave a high price of 100,000 US dollars.
As the saying goes, it's impossible to stare at a sheep's wool, but what can you do if you're not familiar with it.
Lin Dong vigorously instigated the old iron of the corrupt country, and asked him to introduce an old American film company, which belongs to a relatively high status in the film company.
People ask for full copyright.
But Lin Dong and Du Qixi still have full copyright to sell.
And then people don't want to deal with them.
Du Qixi slapped the table and wanted to book the offshore copyright of the next drama to others.
People are happy.
Hell, I know what you're going to do next.
Du Qixi showed the trophies in his suitcase, a golden tiger and a silver lion, and this product actually carried his two grand trophies with him.
This scene really calmed the filmmaker.
People don't necessarily know Du Qixi, but everyone knows these two trophies, and they know each other very well.
But I don't know how the next one will be.
Gentlemen's agreements are not popular among foreigners, so everything is still based on the work in front of you.
A price of $1.5 million was given.
In this way, the overseas copyright of this drama was sold for more than 2 million US dollars, which is more than 15 million yuan in total.
This money does not need to be shared with the theater chain.
Counting the official subsidies for the award-winning works of the three major film festivals, and counting the share of the theater box office, the loss must be paid, but it can't be much.
Du Qixi carried his two trophies on his back, and went home with Lin Dong half happy and half worried.
On the one hand, he won the Silver Bear Award, and on the other hand, the promised 200 million became a joke.
However, after all, the producer still didn't bring anyone to cut him, and in the movie industry, he can make a lot of money, such as "New Road" with a small and big one, and 80 million earned back 650 million.
It's a pity they didn't make it to the good times.
Now that I have lost money, I can only consider myself unlucky.
Tuina was released after eleven days of release, and the theater chain has refused to give this movie resource that can be watched by a few people at most per show, and there can be a personal reservation for anything in some periods.
But Du Qixi's own glory was not overshadowed by the loss of money in this movie.
The media and the public will not feel that Du Qixi has lost money and lost points.
They will even be sympathetic to the acclaimed film.
And Du Qixi once again proved himself with the Silver Bear Award.
, a twenty-three-year-old director, has become a rising star after Section Chief Jia, Hua Yan, Jiang Xiaojun and others.
Ten years later, the Chinese film industry will inevitably be his world.
And his upcoming new film "Poor Road" has also received great media attention.
Just a few days before the start-up.
Du Qixi put down his work and participated in the filming of "Tucao Show" as a guest and a preparer.
He and Zhang Jincheng are brothers.
The two of them considered themselves to be Lin Dong's right-hand men, and they had a certain hostile attitude towards Pei Qianlong and Wang Kuo who wanted to step in.
However, they really have nothing to worry about.
Du Qixi's two films won international awards, and although the box office of the second part fluttered, it still did not affect the reputation of his first film of 650 million.
At the same time as his new film project is launched, there are still many producers who want to join.
And Zhang Sanpang is a person who has earned 200 million yuan in variety shows.
Now he has started to engage in a second variety show, with a total cost of more than 200 million, and he can definitely be regarded as a big man in the domestic variety show circle.
From the rules of the program, various links, scales, to the layout of the scene......
The focus is on the script!
This show can't rely on on-the-spot performance, in fact, most variety shows have scripts, and if there is no script, at most there is no detailed script.
Even if Huang Da'an is added, the actual personnel expenditure is less than 5 million.
So, how to spend the cost of 20 million a phase?
Publicity?
Publicity is a must, but no matter how cowhide is promoted, it doesn't cost so much money, not to mention that Penguin has promised to bear most of the publicity costs in order to strive for the exclusive broadcast of this show.
So, where did Zhang Sanpang spend his money?
Screenwriter!
At Zhang Shaochi's suggestion, in addition to Gangzi and Dandan's participation in writing jokes, "Tucao Show" also invited a large number of professional and non-professional screenwriters.
Other people's families are all screenwriters, up to three or five.
And "Tucao Show" has thirty or fifty.
There are screenwriters who are responsible for variety shows, and there are masters of writing jokes on the Internet.
There is no fixed salary, but the money is calculated according to the number of jokes and jokes that are broadcast, 10,000 yuan per joke.
If two people repeat the same paragraph, share the 10,000 yuan.
According to Zhang Shaochi's requirements, the show should achieve an average of 15 to 20 seconds of laughter.
There are three laughs in one minute, one hundred and eighty laughs in one hour, and an episode of the show is almost an hour and a half, which is two hundred and seventy laughs.
If you have a joke of 10,000 yuan, you will have to spend 2.7 million yuan on the joke alone.
It can be said that the screenwriting is the most expensive part of "Tucao Show", which can be called the most expensive of all variety shows.
Several guests in the first issue were handed over to the screenwriting team, and countless jokes were quickly produced.
And the guests are not idle, and there are some jokes that outsiders don't know.
Who writes and doesn't write.
Guests can also make money if they write.
And the most sassy thing actually belongs to Steel Egg, these two people write their own jokes to hack themselves in order to make money.
