Chapter 1259: Say a few words casually

"Hahaha......"

After a moment of silence, Sun Peng suddenly laughed.

The laughter was so abrupt, and his expression was so relaxed that Wei Xiaolin thought that Sun Peng was laughing angrily at his words at first. But soon he sensed that something was wrong, because Sun Peng's expression didn't show the slightest anger, but was really happy!

Holy, what's going on?!

Wei Xiaolin's face was confused, and he couldn't figure out what was going on at all.

Fortunately, Sun Peng didn't let him wait too long, and quickly took a deep breath and smiled: "Sure enough, this kind of thing will inevitably happen everywhere...... Brother Wei, don't worry about this anymore. It's just some gossip on the Internet, which won't have much impact on the movie, let alone affect the decision of the theater. ”

This kind of thing has never happened on the earth.

But what if they shouted so badly? Will theaters, where everything is based on interests, increase the number of films because of their voices, or will audiences enter the cinema because of their voices? It is undeniable that some audiences will be affected, but only if the quality of some movies is really good and can attract at least a part of the audience, but the impact on the overall box office of the movie is almost negligible......

"It's inevitable everywhere?"

Stunned for a moment, a trace of doubt flashed in Wei Xiaolin's eyes, and he smiled bitterly at random: "That's what I said, but there are still many people who support these people's words, so it will be ...... for our movie."

"Don't worry, it won't!"

Without waiting for Wei Xiaolin to finish speaking, Sun Peng waved his hand, shook his head and said: "For the theater chain, the most important thing is interests, whoever has more box office and high attendance, they will give the theater to whom; And for the audience, it's even simpler, the only criterion is whose movie is good...... In fact, even if our publisher uses the means? This is originally a world of the jungle, an industry that relies on strength to be king, and how many films can be arranged depends on their own abilities. ”

“…… Quite right. ”

After thinking for a while, Wei Xiaolin nodded with relief.

"So, let's just think about our own business!"

patted Wei Xiaolin on the shoulder, Sun Peng said with a smile: "The next month is the most critical publicity period before the release of "Hero", we have spent so much publicity and distribution funds, and in the end, this trembling can't drop the chain...... As for these disturbances on the Internet, I will post two Weibo explanations later. ”

"Weibo? Xiaopeng, don't mess around! ”

Hearing Sun Peng say this, Wei Xiaolin was suddenly a little nervous, and his brows immediately furrowed.

In his opinion, Sun Peng couldn't sit still because he was sprayed.

Although those people didn't dare to name names, and they didn't even dare to mention the movie names of "Hero" and "Mulan", who could not see it if anyone with a discerning eye could see it? After all, the filming rate of the day is now hanging on the Internet, as long as you have the heart, you will naturally understand it by searching.

Wei Xiaolin was afraid that Sun Peng was young and vigorous, and it would not be worth arguing with them!

"Messing around? No, it won't. ”

Shaking his head, Sun Peng said with a smile: "It's just such a little rumor, it's not worth me to mess around...... In fact, if I really fought with them, maybe I would have gotten what they wanted, right? It's just a few simple words, and it's enough to say my attitude! ”

"But ......"

"Yo, the two bigwigs are here so early?"

Just as Wei Xiaolin opened his mouth and wanted to continue to say something, a voice suddenly came from the door.

The two turned their heads around, and it was the producer Sima who had just arrived.

Sun Peng and Wei Xiaolin hurriedly stood up, first said hello to Sima Gang, and then Sun Peng smiled: "Teacher Sima, we are embarrassed to say that you are a big guy, why don't you dare to call a big guy in front of you!" ”

For the producer, Sun Peng maintained the same respect as always.

Let's not mention that Sima Gang is a real veteran in the circle, and I don't know how many movies he has participated in in the filming of his life, just to say that Sun Peng has been a director before and after several movies, almost all of them rely on Sima Gang to fully control the investment in the film, down to the arrangement of every position in the crew, etc., it can be said that after a movie is made, no one can miss Sima Gang!

But when every movie is released, the producer is the most inconspicuous.

So apart from giving Sima Gang a high salary, Sun Peng doesn't seem to have any other way to show his attention. So this time for the filming of "Hero", in addition to getting paid from the crew, Sima Gang was also pulled by Sun Peng to sign an agreement - after the release of "Hero", Sima Gang will get 0.5% of the global box office as remuneration!

Of course, this 0.5% must be Sun Peng's own dividends, so other investors don't do this kind of thing. In fact, in order to install a producer in the original, the investor deliberately lowered Sima Gang's remuneration, so this 0.5 dividend is regarded as Sun Peng's private subsidy after he insisted on using Sima Gang.

And this agreement once made Wei Xiaolin's eyes red for many days!

You must know that although he is nominally one of the two directors of "Hero", the remuneration for more than a year of hard work is only 8 million, and it is still Huaxia coins! But Sima Gang's 0.5 dividend means that if the box office of "Hero" exceeds 100 million US dollars, he will have a dividend of 500,000 US dollars, and if it reaches 500 million, it will be 2.5 million US dollars, which is twice as high as Wei Xiaolin, and if the box office exceeds 1 billion US dollars......

When I think of the old man, with the movie "Hero", he can make five million dollars...... And it's five million dollars in addition to his original remuneration, Wei Xiaolin is envious to death - when he has decided to hand over to him to direct "Terminator 2.", Sun Peng will not give him additional compensation.

Tsk, it's good to be rich!

Sighing in his heart, Wei Xiaolin followed Sun Peng and said with a smile: "We were talking about those things on the Internet just now, that is, Lao Bai is too domineering now, not only taking up the best schedules for the summer vacation, but also accounting for too many film schedules." ”

"Oh, those people."

With a slight raising of his eyebrows, Sima Gang sneered and said: "Hehe, it's just a bunch of marginal characters selling miserably, just asking for attention, don't pay attention to it!" Look at those serious mainstream directors, who dares to come out and say such things? ”

Sure enough, it was Sima Gang who saw it thoroughly and hit the nail on the head to say the core problem.

"Hehe, yes."

After smiling, Sun Peng nodded and said, "Because everyone knows that attracting attention is one thing, but trying to break the rules is another." So I'm not going to do anything about it, just say a few words on Weibo later......"
