Chapter 945: Ten percent of the total box office

Everything is coming.

This time, he brought a script that he was very satisfied with and came to Chen Ming for the third time.

He knew that Chen Ming also had a talent for screenwriting that was not inferior to singing and filming, but he felt that his script could arouse Chen Ming's interest.

Even, he hopes that Chen Ming can play the male lead in this movie.

Of course, if the extravagance is more unrealistic, he hopes that Chen Ming can bring funds to join the group, after all, the funds he has for filming are completely insufficient.

Circumstances change with the passage of time.

A few years ago, Wan Youcai was still a well-known director in Cloud City, and even received a nomination for an award at a film and television celebration one year, although he did not win the award in the end.

But it also proves his directing prowess.

Pity!

After a few years, he has changed from a well-known director to the tragic picture that no one cares about.

Liao Pingshui, an old friend who has worked with him for many years, no longer contacted him, and the Chinese New Year film that was impulsive at that time was also very miserable.

After coming and going, his reputation was ruined.

To be honest, Wan Youcai's loneliness has little to do with Chen Ming.

Since that plagiarism and reconciliation, Chen Ming has not troubled Wanyoucai again, and he has not taken it to heart.

Everyone is a person in the film and television industry.

Chen Ming adhered to the mentality of looking up and not looking down, and gave Wan Youcai a chance.

The reason why Wan Youcai is so depressed today is actually mainly due to his own reasons.

At the beginning, Liao Pingshui sincerely persuaded him not to make that Chinese New Year film, warning him that he would definitely pounce.

But he didn't listen.

That's the worst thing!

Today, he came to Chen Ming, just because he fell in love with Chen Ming's own popularity, hoping to make a comeback.

Chen Ming did not deliberately fail to see all talents.

Everyone has come three times, so they want to see each other, not to mention, Chen Ming also wants to know what is the matter with Wan Youcai looking for him.

Under the guidance of the young lady at the front desk, Wan Youcai came to Chen Ming's office with some restraint.

At this time, Chen Ming was bowing his head and contemplating the script of "Daxia Fenghua", and when he saw Wan Youcai coming, he closed the script and put it aside.

"Director Wan, don't come unharmed."

Chen Ming said with a smile.

I haven't seen it for a few years, the vicissitudes of Wanyoucai are surprising, the original shrewdness has completely disappeared, and there will still be some nervousness when facing Chen Ming.

You must know that when Chen Ming first met Wan Youcai a few years ago, the nervous person was Chen Ming.

Chen Ming poured a cup of hot tea for Wan Youcai and sat on the sofa opposite Wan Youcai.

Wan Youcai hurriedly said thank you, took a sip of tea, and carefully looked at the layout of the office before he spoke: "Chen ..... Sir, I would like to ask you to make a movie. ”

Wan Youcai originally wanted to call Chen Ming's full name directly, but after thinking about it for a while, he changed his words.

Hearing this, Chen Ming raised his eyebrows slightly, and his smile remained unchanged: "What type of movie does Director Wan want to make?" ”

To be honest, Chen Ming was really a little interested in the script that made Wan Youcai spend a lot of time and did not hesitate to visit Chen Ming three times.

Wan Youcai took out a stack of white paper that was neither thick nor thin from the pocket in his clothes and handed it to Chen Ming.

At the top are written a few big words: "Genius's Self-Statement".

Chen Ming opened the script in front of Wan Youcai and read it patiently.

To put it simply, the plot told in this script is a bit similar to "Psychological Crime: City Lights".

genius and genius;

A duel between a madman and a madman.

When a person is overly intelligent, the line between genius and madman becomes blurred.

In particular, the script was inspired by a psychopath.

There are a lot of seemingly unreasonable settings in the script.

But if you think about it carefully, in fact, this is just the consistent thinking of normal people, and aside from normal angles, these plots will become very reasonable, and even conform to a small part of the logic.

Chen Ming spent more than ten minutes reading the script.

Wan Youcai stayed tense throughout the whole process.

He was afraid that Chen Ming would refuse when he opened his mouth, so he really had no way out.

After a while, Chen Ming asked suspiciously: "There are a lot of bloody scenes in your script, are you sure that you can pass the review if you shoot it?" ”

The first part of "Psychological Crime" was all harmonized.

And the script of this movie is not much different from "Psychological Crime" in essence.

In many cases, this type of film and television work will be banned, and there is only one reason for banning: excessive amplification of the dark side of society may cause adverse effects.

This is also the reason why there are so few Chinese police and gangster films.

Originally, the crime rate in Huaguo was not high, what if the masses watched these film and television works and suddenly wanted to commit crimes?

That's what worries me the most.

Hearing Chen Ming's question, Wan Youcai fell silent, he didn't think about this question properly.

In other words, he felt that once Chen Ming agreed to participate, with Chen Ming's connections on national television, it would definitely be easy to pass the trial.

It can only be said that he imagined Chen Ming too tall.

It is true that the name Chen Ming can indeed get a certain amount of accommodation on national television.

But there is a ceiling to this accommodation.

Movies like this that deeply portray the dark side of human nature have touched the sensitive areas of Guodian.

Don't say it's Chen Ming, even if Feng Yiping comes, it's not easy to make it.

Wan Youcai's palms trembled slightly, he picked up the teacup and took a sip of hot water, and asked worriedly: "It's really not good, I'll go back and change the script." ”

Chen Ming was speechless.

He is not optimistic about Wanyoucai to revise the script.

This script should have been born by him in a flash of inspiration, and if he revised it, he might not be able to change it.

After hesitating, Chen Ming said his thoughts: "I can star in your movie, and I can even help you revise the script." ”

In an instant, a huge surprise surrounded Wan Youcai.

But in the next second, Chen Ming continued: "But I won't invest a penny in this movie, and you need to pay for all the costs of filming." You don't have to pay me in advance, I have to take 10% of the total box office when the box office results come out. ”

"Can you accept that?"

To put it bluntly, Chen Ming only plans to come out alone.

Other than that, everything has to be taken care of.

Chen Ming will not provide him with other help.

Wan Youcai's expression of surprise was dull on his face, and what he lacked most now was money.

After all, his entire family wealth was basically lost on that Chinese New Year movie.

In addition, Wan Youcai's greater hesitation lies in the second half of Chen Ming's sentence.

He's going to take 10 percent of the total box office!

That's a very exaggerated percentage!

You know,

In the total box office sharing project, the proportion of the crew is actually not large.

Let's say a movie has a total box office of one billion.

First of all

Guodian wants to extract 3 to 5 percent of the profits, and it is naturally impossible for people to pass the trial for nothing.

secondly

The major cinema chains should divide 30 to 40 percent of them.

Without these cinemas, there would be no place to watch the movies made, and that's how they should be.

The most important thing is that

The proportion of tax deductions for cultural works is between 3.2% and 3.7%.

After removing this series of expenses, it is also necessary to pay the actors' salaries and the salary settlement of the field staff, which are not included in the preliminary shooting expenses.

Because how much money the actors and field staff take follows the box office, the better the box office results, the more money they share.

The salary paid to the actors in the early stage can only be regarded as the basic salary.

Chen Ming's mouth is 10% of the total box office, which is even more ruthless than tax deductions........
