In the past 20 days from the preparation of filming to the filming of "Orphans", "Chainsaw" has ended its release, and the final total box office is fixed at 208 million yuan.

Excluding the nearly 10 million yuan box office chartered by Wang Ye, the real total box office of "Chainsaw" can only reach 190 million.

This movie, because no film and television company participated in the production, so when the producer, investor, and chief director are all Hao Huan, he can be said to have made a lot of money.

In addition to 5% of the total box office revenue, it will be handed over to the National Film Development Special Fund Management Committee, and 3.3% will be used as film taxes. Of the remaining 91.7% of the box office revenue, the theater chain takes 40%, the distributor takes 6%, and the remaining 45.7% of the box office revenue basically belongs to Hao Huan.

Therefore, a "Chainsaw" with a total box office of 200 million yuan almost made Hao Huan earn 100 million.

So, don't fight for your father, don't rely on your mother. After filming "Chainsaw", he was already exhausted, and after squandering more than 30 million yuan to unlock "Orphan's Resentment", and after filming this movie, he still has 50 million yuan in his hands to embezzle.

This money is enough for the post-production of "Orphans", and if necessary, it can also carry out a luxurious movie promotion.

……

Red Ears Film and Television Company.

During the filming of "Orphans", Wang Lexin contacted the actress Li Licheng during the filming of "Chainsaw" according to Hao Huan's instructions, and finally Li Licheng chose to join the company and currently serves as the director of the company.

In addition, among the people involved in the post-production of "Saw Horror", several of the better employees were poached by the better salary package here.

In addition, some employees who have passed the interview and are temporarily interning in the company. So in addition to Wang Lexin, Red Ear Film and Television Company recruited a total of 20 employees, which can be regarded as a decent film and television company.

However, the company still lacks a team dedicated to special effects, which Hao Huan is not in a hurry to recruit, and it is not easy to organize an excellent special effects team.

Domestic film and television special effects companies are limited, and there are only a handful of powerful special effects companies, which is one of the reasons why good special effects are particularly expensive.

Fortunately, there are not many special effects shots that need to be added in the later stage of "Orphan Resentment", and they are not too difficult to make some special effects, so Hao Huan only needs to find a special effects team with decent skills to come over and cooperate.

Since the filming took a few days longer than expected, it was impossible for him to release a movie a month.

"Chainsaw" was released on August 21, and now September 21 is coming, so it is impossible for "Orphans" to be released in September, after all, no matter how efficient the post-production is, it will take five or six days, and it will take another two or three days for the film to be submitted for review.

Matters such as cinema cooperation cannot be decided in a day or two.

So Hao Huan calculated the time, and the release time of "Orphan Resentment" had to be arranged until October.

In this way, the National Day Golden Week is a good release schedule. However, relatively speaking, during the National Day Golden Week, the competition for movie releases will be fiercer, and it will be more fierce than the summer vacation.

In the office, Hao Huan shouted: "Wang Lexin, do you check what movies are worth looking forward to during the National Day Golden Week." ”

Now, there are less than two weeks left before the National Day on October 1, and if it is decided that "Orphans" will be released during the National Day Golden Week, then he will have to arrange the cooperation of the film release in the past two days.

After a while, Wang Lexin walked in with a laptop and reported: "There are 16 new movies released from October 1st to 5th, among which the most popular and the three movies that netizens are most looking forward to watching are "Flame Hero", "Anti-Drug" and "Happy Cram School". These three movies have the best word-of-mouth and the strongest star lineup. Of the remaining 13 movies, two of them also have a strong star lineup, but because the leading actors are the kind of traffic stars whose acting skills are not recognized by the audience, the reputation is not very good. ”

Hao Huan moved the laptop that Wang Lexin put down and looked at the materials of the 16 movies she had sorted out.

"Sure enough, the competition in the National Day Golden Week is still quite fierce! The two military-themed movies are both from the hands of big directors, and the cast is a group of first- and second-tier well-known actors, if nothing else, it is estimated that these two movies are the highest box office in October. ”

Hao Huan didn't underestimate the other party, the current movie market is like this. One looks at the director's fame, and the other looks at the starring lineup. Anyway, no matter whether the plot is good or not, as long as the star lineup is strong, then there is no worry about not earning the box office.

Of course, whether it is "Flame Hero" or "Anti-Narcotics", the production cost of these two movies will not be very low.

On the contrary, on this luxurious star lineup. Just the actor's salary will cost three or five billion yuan.

Because of many top first-line actors, the salary will be frighteningly high, and an actor's salary of hundreds of millions of yuan has become the norm in the film and television industry.

Speaking of this, Hao Huan had to think of "The Age of Fright". There are also several star actors starring in his movie, although they are not first- or second-tier stars, but the salary of any star starring is close to 10 million yuan.

This is the high salary created by the era of traffic and fans.

"If "Orphans" is scheduled to be released during the National Day Golden Week, I am afraid it will become cannon fodder. After all, today's audiences like to pay for their feelings and celebrities when they watch a movie. And I can't give them feelings, and I can't give them star idols, so they basically won't give priority to my movie. ”

As soon as Hao Huan said this, Wang Lexin thought for a while and said, "When is "Orphan Resentment" going to be released?" ”

Hao Huan said without thinking: "Let's take the National Day Golden Week!" ”

"Huh?"

Wang Lexin was surprised: "Didn't you say that the National Day Golden Week will be reduced to cannon fodder?" ”

Hao Huan said: "What if it is another movie that becomes cannon fodder? I'm still confident in my films! Besides, in addition to "Orphan's Resentment", there are nearly ten movies with disparities in strength released at the same time, and they are not afraid of becoming cannon fodder, so what do I have to worry about! ”

"Okay......" Wang Lexin didn't know what to say.

After Hao Huan learned about the new movies released during the National Day Golden Week, he instructed: "You can contact the theater chain now to talk about the release of "Orphans' Resentment". I'm going to try to finish the post-production of the film as soon as possible and then submit it for review. ”

"Okay."

Wang Lexin took back the laptop and went out to get busy.

Hao Huan continued to be busy with the post-production of the film, the company was full of the sound of tapping on the keyboard, and the employees were editing and producing "Orphan's Resentment" according to Hao Huan's requirements.

A week later.

The finished film of "Orphan's Resentment" has been produced, with a total duration of 124 minutes.

The day after the film was submitted for review.

Hao Huan received bad news......
