Chapter 86: Released
"Director Ying, we are old acquaintances, and I won't tell you more, Zhang Guorong's contract is clearly written with liquidated damages of 80 million. ”
Xiang Huaqiang thought that Yingshuai had the background of an emperor, and although it was impossible to reconcile with him, at least he had to get by on face. So I want to talk to him and solve Zhang Guorong's problem, such a superstar in his hand, whether he can use it or not, it is a loss every day, although he is supported by the prince of Yan Wang behind him, but other shareholders will inevitably have opinions.
Ying Shuai thought for a while and said: "It's so good, 80 million is 80 million, so Hong Jingbao sent me two films, and Cheng Long sent me one film, with their current salary, these three films are about enough to make these 80 million items The boss only makes money and doesn't lose money." ”
Xiang Huaqiang was a little unhappy, when Cheng Long and Hong Jingbao signed a film contract with Yingshuai, the salary was not more than 10 million, and the salary of the two was raised by himself, but he thought that Yingshuai was sitting on the ground and starting the price.
"Director Ying, it's boring to say that, do you think you can suppress them if I put two of them for you?"
Xiang Huaqiang said softly that most of "Operation Flying Eagle" was filmed abroad, and he didn't know the twists and turns in the middle, but he thought that Cheng Long was righteous and grateful to Yingshuai for helping him, so he thought that as long as he hinted at the two of them, Yingshuai's future films would not be filmed. So this time, he also wanted to cancel the next three films by the way.
"What does the boss mean that these three films will be written off?" Ying Shuai laughed.
"Of course not, or according to the original agreement between you, their remuneration is calculated, I will give you a 30% increase, a whole number of 40 million, you just give me another 40 million to clear the two?" Xiang Huaqiang said.
"Boss Xiang, I will use three films to make an appointment with you to save face, if "Flying Eagle Project" is released, Cheng Long's one film appointment will be enough. Yingshuai is actually telling the truth, he is still very confident in his film.
But Xiang Huaqiang was laughed at angrily, although he wanted to give face to Yingshuai because of the emperor, but he had King Yan behind him, and he would not be afraid of him, so he said: "Do you think you are a god? ”
"Hehe, then let's wait for the film to be released before we talk. The handsome shrugged helplessly.
。。。。
Yingshuai threw the Condor Trilogy to Old Man Zhu with complete extraction, but the old man couldn't help but promote it, so he had to wait until he was done with it before arranging promotion.
This handsome doesn't care, he is busy with the roadshow promotion of "Flying Eagle Project", this time he is the director and the second actor, yes, you heard it right, the actors in the film except for Cheng Long are actually playing soy sauce, only the heroic handsome and he play a heavy role, and after editing, it actually takes up the second place in terms of time.
So he was arranged to be the second male lead to participate in the publicity, although it was not difficult for Huanyu to be difficult, but Cheng Long also had two films filmed at the same time.
Although the Fuxing series was defeated by Yingshuai, the box office is actually really good, and this series is a contract signed by Cheng Long before he left Jiahe, so naturally it will be filmed.
In addition, if it weren't for those years, the results of the fast story would have set a new record, and of course, it would have to withdraw from the sequel while the iron was hot.
The filming speed of the movie in Xiangjiang is indeed very fast, and soon after the film came off the line, preparations for a sequel began.
So Cheng Long only participated in three roadshows, and Cheng Long asked the two crews to coordinate, and even stopped work for three days, and he couldn't do anything about it no matter how much time he had.
And this time it was Huanyu's "Rich Train" that directly fought with Yingshuai, although Cheng Long admired Yingshuai's kung fu, it was impossible to do too much.
"Rich Train" is a typical Chinese New Year movie, with many stars, although they are all cameos for a minute or two, but this is also a gimmick, no one has tried it before, because there is no behemoth like Huanyu, so many stars, even a cameo will not be compulsory labor, so no matter how the film is invested, it is scary.
But now Huanyu has let its stars make cameos, and the salary is only symbolic, so although it has invested 80 million in external publicity, it is actually only more than 40 million, of which Hong Jingbao alone accounts for half of the salary.
Although Yingshuai Yuan Time and Space has seen this film, he doesn't have much impression anymore, he just knows that there is something to make a film with a number of stars, so the plot can be smooth, and the Chinese New Year film is full of lively stars, so you don't have to worry about the box office.
The evaluation of this film in the original time and space is not low, but it is largely because it is the pioneering work of the New Year film of the group of heroes, and as long as the pioneering work of a genre movie is not too bad, the evaluation will generally go up two notches.
Therefore, although the pressure of box office competition brought by "Rich Train" is not small, Yingshuai actually doesn't have much to worry about, there are many stars and the benefits of many stars, but there are also fatal weaknesses, and the plot of many stars will inevitably be a little scattered, and "Operation Flying Eagle" is known for the compactness of the plot, plus Yingshuai deliberately removed some side details, and even the heroines have changed from three to two, and the editing techniques are more aggressive than the original time and space, even compared with the later generations of "Spy Shadows", which is known for its rhythm.
However, although the box office can be predicted, there are also many uncertainties, and the hero does not dare to be too big, just do what he should do as well as possible, and wait for the rest to see the results.
On the last Friday of January, the two films were officially released, and the New Year will also come in more than ten days, which is the New Year file in the original time and space.
However, the Chinese New Year stalls have not been taken seriously in this world, because in this era, in the impression of ordinary people, the end of the year is always the busiest time for people, not only busy with work, but also busy preparing for the New Year. It is also true that the box office at this time period in the past was not ideal, which may also be related to the fact that the film company did not arrange the film at this time, forming a vicious circle.
So this time they don't even have a decent opponent, Galaxy has almost the same schedule for the two films, but "Flying Eagle Project" is invested by Galaxy itself after all, and it will be slightly more, with a film scheduling rate of 50%, while "Rich Train" is 45%, and the remaining two films add up to only 5%.
On the side of the Huanyu Cinema Line, "Rich Train" accounted for 80% of the film schedule, and this time Xiang Huaqiang actually gave Ying Shuai face and 15% of the film schedule.
However, the scale of Huanyu naturally cannot be compared with Galaxy, and the schedule of the two films in other theaters is almost the same, so in fact, the number of screens screened for the two films is basically the same.
With the arrival of twelve o'clock in the morning, the curtain of the two films kicked off at the same time.
