Chapter 311: How old are you to do what you do
When the movie "Nightclub" was released, it won a box office of 293 million, and it was almost about to reach 300 million.
Although it is only a movie box office of less than 300 million, for Zhang Yi, for Shen Teng, for Liu Yan and even director Li Huizhu, this is already a very satisfactory box office for them.
It can be said that the top ten positions of the annual movie box office in 2010, this movie has been locked.
Especially in this movie, the total investment is only 10 million, and the investment of 10 million has brought back nearly 300 million at the box office, which can be said to be definitely a big profit.
In particular, the investment situation of this film is not the same as other films.
The movies that Zhang Yuxuan shot before, whether it was the movies made by Zhang Yuxuan when he was picking up cultural media, or the movies made after Zhang Yuxuan opened his personal studio.
Although the copyright and other aspects belong to Shibi Culture Media or Zhang Yuxuan's studio.
But in fact, the investors of those films are not limited to Shibi Culture Media or Zhang Yuxuan's studio.
In fact, the investment of each film has several investment companies involved.
Although each company's share of investment is not equal, it is not necessarily large. But it does have to be.
Because in the entertainment industry, it's not okay to eat alone!
Even if you have money, you can casually invest hundreds of millions of dollars in a movie, but you can't really invest all the funds needed for the movie yourself.
If you have money, everyone earns it together, this is the rule of this industry.
Otherwise, Zhang Yuxuan's every movie is a hit, every movie is a hit, all the money is made by Zhang Yuxuan, and other people can drink some soup at most, so will those other companies be willing?
If Zhang Yuxuan really eats alone, then he will face the entire entertainment industry, and the entire entertainment industry is his enemy.
The entertainment industry is not a clean place, there are all kinds of twists and turns, all kinds of messy things and methods, as for what you can't imagine, there is nothing they can't do.
Otherwise, just in terms of film review, it is enough for you, not to mention any shooting venues, actors, special effects, release channels, word-of-mouth, etc., which are absolutely unacceptable, and this is still a legitimate means of competition, not to mention some dirtier ones.
It is precisely because Zhang Yuxuan almost does not eat alone, so in the film market, Zhang Yuxuan was able to be so smooth sailing, and almost did not encounter any stumbles.
Just like the movie "Great Wish" filmed by Zhang Yuxuan before, the box office of the movie is almost nearly 600 million, excluding the share of the cinema plus various taxes, and the final benefit is about 200 million.
But the interests of 200 million yuan were divided among several investors, and Zhang Yuxuan's studio finally got the profit, not even 100 million, only 60 or 70 million, and the rest of the money was from other investors.
In fact, those investors are willing to let Zhang Yuxuan make a big buck and take one-third of the profits, they make less, and several companies share two-thirds of the profits, which is already very good.
And "Nightclub", because it is a very small investment movie, the protagonists are all newcomers, and even the director has never made a movie before, no, it was filmed once, or failed. That's why this kind of small film is not involved in other companies.
So much so that "Nightclub" won nearly 300 million movie box office, and in the end, almost 100 million profits all fell to the account of Zhang Yuxuan's studio, which is eye-catching.
For the movie "Nightclub", other companies also analyzed, and finally came to the conclusion that "Nightclub" is a comedy movie above the passing line, this kind of movie, if you change to a better actor, like Andy Lau , Liang Chaowei and other actors with a certain fame and appeal to star, it should be normal to win a movie box office of about 100 million.
But 300 million, that's it.
So how did the extra 200 million box office come about?
These entertainment companies analyzed left and right, and finally unanimously agreed that the extra 200 million box office of "Nightclub" should be brought by Zhang Yuxuan's cameo
Target.
As a result, more companies and more people began to pay attention to Zhang Yuxuan.
It turns out that even if Zhang Yuxuan is not the protagonist, just a cameo, he can bring 200 million box office to the movie!
And so—
"Yuxuan, these are movies that have invited you to make a cameo." Li Hao put a bunch of invitations in front of Zhang Yuxuan.
Zhang Yuxuan was a little speechless.
"Actually, it's not bad that you're willing to make a cameo, a cameo, just play a random role, there are not many scenes, and the filming time is not long, just like the star who made a cameo in "Nightclub", you can easily get a salary of 20 million. You can even make cameo appearances in more than a dozen movies in a month's time. At that time, I can get hundreds of millions of dollars just for my salary." Li Hao said with a smile.
Zhang Yuxuan rolled his eyes directly: "Believe it or not, if I really take on these cameo roles, my reputation will deteriorate next year, and it may even affect the appeal of my movie box office."
"Believe, why don't I believe it." Li Hao nodded: "So I didn't expect you to agree to these cameo invitations. However, Feng Gangpao sent you another invitation to appear in his movie."
"Feng Gangcang? Didn't I win his movie "The Great Earthquake"?" Zhang Yuxuan was stunned for a moment.
"The filming of "The Great Earthquake" has been completed for a while, Feng Gangcang doesn't know why, he plans to make one more movie this year, so he invited you again." Saying that, Li Hao put a script in front of Zhang Yuxuan: "It's this "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2"."
"Do Not Disturb 2? Let me make a cameo?" Zhang Yuxuan took it easily.
"No, it's for you to play the leading role. Feng Gangpao means that he intends to let you and Ge You be the male protagonists at the same time. For this reason, he also deliberately changed the script and increased Li Xiangshan's role to become almost the same as the role played by Ge You."
"Juxtaposed male lead." Zhang Yuxuan nodded suddenly, but there was no rejection.
Although Ge You's salary is more than twice as bad as Zhang Yuxuan's, in China, Ge You's film status is no worse than Zhang Yuxuan's.
Therefore, Zhang Yuxuan is not averse to being the leading actor alongside Ge You. In fact, as long as Zhang Yuxuan is not allowed to praise any newcomers, or to be the protagonist alongside a second- or third-tier actor, Zhang Yuxuan does not have much opinion. Well, of course, except for artists like Zhang Yi's own studio.
For his own people, Zhang Yuxuan is still willing to praise it.
Holding the script, Zhang Yuxuan flipped through it.
Regarding the role of Li Xiangshan, Zhang Yuxuan found that the role of Li Xiangshan was designed by Feng Gangpao, which was quite interesting.
Didn't Zhang Yuxuan make a cameo appearance as a businessman selling steel in "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 1" before?
Therefore, in "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2", one of the experiences of Li Xiangshan that Zhang Yuxuan wants to play is selling steel.
Well, Li Xiangshan, who was set in the script, failed to sell steel, and it was precisely because of the failure that he would recommend steel to the blind date when he went on a blind date.
Well, the role of Li Xiangshan is a person who loves to toss and is very good at tossing, and has done a lot of industries, most of which have failed, but there are also some that are relatively successful or even very successful.
The role of Li Xiangshan in the script is also very interesting and interesting.
"Mango and the hostess, you go and ask Feng Gangpao if it has been decided." Zhang Yuxuan thought about it, decided to take the script, and then said to Li Hao.
"Are you going to let Liu Yan and Yang Mi go on?"
"Well, of course, after all, I think this movie is good, at least better than the first one, and the two characters of Mango and the hostess are also not bad." Zhang Yuxuan said as a matter of course.
"Okay, I'll ask, but I think we should be able to win one of these two characters. Let's see who's going to get on it." Li Yu reminded Zhang Yuxuan.
"Can you take one down?" Zhang Yuxuan pondered, indeed, Zhang Yuxuan starred in this movie, so Zhang Yuxuan's
Identity and status, he can bring someone to act in a movie together, Mango and the hostess, these two roles, Zhang Yuxuan can probably only choose one.
Mango, Zhang Yuxuan wants Liu Yan to play, and the hostess is suitable for Yang Mi.
And Mango, the female number two, the female host, can only barely be counted as the female number three.
So from the perspective of interests, Zhang Yuxuan wants to win the role of Mango.
But if the role of Mango is taken down and handed over to Liu Yan, it is a bit unfair to Yang Mi.
After all, when Liu Yan joined the studio, Zhang Yuxuan gave the female number one of "Nightclub" directly to Liu Yan, and also won Liu Yan the heroine of "Big Soldier", even if this heroine has relatively few scenes. But it's also an opportunity that most people dream of. Not to mention that "Nightclub" also won nearly 300 million at the box office.
In addition, Liu Yan is still a regular guest of "Run, Brother", so Liu Yan's popularity and status are soaring.
Compared with Liu Yan, Yang Mi, who joined a few months later than Liu Yan, is treated a lot worse than Liu Yan.
Zhang Yuxuan also gave Yang Mi the role of the heroine of the TV series "Step by Step", even if it is the heroine, even if this drama is very good, but compared with the movie, the congenital aspect is still a little worse, and there is no Yang Mi as a regular guest of "Run, Brother".
So Zhang Yuxuan has to think about it now and arrange more scenes for Yang Mi.
Although it is impossible to say that resources are distributed very equally, at least they must be relatively equal.
"Then let's fight for the role of hostess." Zhang Yuxuan finally made a choice and decided to give Yang Mi a chance.
As for why don't you fight for the role of Mango and hand it over to Yang Mi to play?
Naturally, it was because Yang Mi was a little too young.
Yang Mi is only in her twenties, and the role of Mango is not suitable for her, so Zhang Yuxuan can only choose the role of the hostess now.
And Yang Mi, who has already finished filming every step of the way, when she received a call from Li Hao informing her that she was going to star in Feng Gangcang's movie with Zhang Yuxuan, her eyes lit up and she had an excited smile on her face.
Feng Gangcang's movie, for the previous Yang Mi, I almost can't think of it.
In other words, except for you, who participated in the teenager at the beginning, Yang Mi has almost never cooperated with any powerful actors and directors.
Now that she can act in Feng Gangcang's movie, of course she is very happy.
At the same time, in this movie, there is also Zhang Yuxuan's guarantee of the box office, so that Yang Mi does not have to worry about whether the movie will fail.
Even if Li Cod had already told her on the phone that the role she was going to play was just a female No. 3, it still couldn't affect her mood.
Of course, Li Hao also secretly revealed on the phone.
Originally, Zhang Yuxuan could take Liu Yan to play Feng Gangcano's female number two, but in order to give her Yang Mi a chance, Zhang Yuxuan sacrificed the role of female number two, and instead chose the female number three, which was inferior to the female number two in terms of role and excitement.
Yang Mi is also a smart person, and she knows that the reason why Li Cod leaked this kind of news is to tell her that Zhang Yuxuan is very fair to her, and even sacrificed Liu Yan's opportunity for her.
So Yang Mi kept expressing her gratitude on the phone, thanking Zhang Yuxuan, as for how much is true and how much is false, it is not within the scope of everyone's consideration.
After hanging up the phone, Yang Mi's face was still full of joy, no matter what the situation was, at least she had won Feng Gangcang's female number three The matter had been decided, and the benefits had already reached her.
After getting the script, Yang Mi looked at the script, looked at her role, and then began to look at the role of the second female lead.
Then Yang Mi found that the role of the female No. 2 is indeed more brilliant than the No. 3, and even the role of the female No. 3, how to say, is almost not very prominent.
If she could, Yang Mi would also prefer to play the role of the second female Mango.
It's just that Yang Mi thinks about the character of the female No. 2 mango, and then looks at it in the mirror
has to be immature, Yang Mi knows, no wonder Zhang Yuxuan did not fight for her for the second female lead, but for her for the third female lead.
The character of the female number two, in terms of her current age, image, temperament, etc., is indeed still ungraspable.
If she can play another five or six years old, and then through makeup, she can also play the role of female number two, but unfortunately, she is still too young now.
In fact, Yang Mi feels that Zhang Yuxuan's age may not be suitable for the role of Li Xiangshan, after all, the role of Li Xiangshan is no longer young, and it does not match Zhang Yuxuan's age.
However, Yang Mi also knows that Zhang Yuxuan's fame is too great now, and although most of Zhang Yuxuan's movies are comedies, he still has acting skills, and through makeup and acting skills, he should be able to play the role of Li Xiangshan well.
Just think about it, Zhang Yuxuan is about the same age as her, and she can play a role of Li Xiangshan's age, but she can't play the role of Li Xiangshan's ex-wife Mango. The gap is still a little bigger.
"So, on the one hand, it should be a matter of fame, and on the other hand, it should be a matter of acting." Yang Mi muttered to herself: "The reason why Zhang Yuxuan can play the role of Li Xiangshan should be these two aspects."
"So, I should probably find a way to hone my acting skills." Yang Mi's eyes flashed with ambition, after all, her acting skills can be improved through hard work, and her fame can only rely on her works.
Zhang Yuxuan didn't know Yang Mi's thoughts, but he would still be very happy if he knew that Yang Mi began to want to hone her acting skills because of this play.
Although it is said that the stars of the traffic school are not bad, whether it is making money or something, they can also go well, just like Yang Mi in the previous life, even if she is in her thirties, she still acts in the TV series of a domineering president and a young girl, but her fame, status and so on, are still not bad.
It's just that no matter how famous she is, she has become a top-notch actress. But in addition to her works in the first few years of popularity, the reputation of the rest of her works is worse than the other, which is also a fact, and it may even get worse and worse if she doesn't change as she gets older.
On the contrary, Zhao Liying, after becoming a top-notch, did not forget to hone her acting skills, and when she was older, she began to hone her acting skills, and no longer acted in any idol dramas, she is destined to go further than Yang Mi in the future.
Therefore, Yang Mi is his Zhang Yuxuan's person, Zhang Yuxuan still hopes that she can hone her acting skills more, and when she is older, she can naturally transform into an acting school when she is older.
Well, it's until you're older. As for now, she is young, so it's good to shoot a TV series or movie that is suitable for her current age.
Actually, it's pretty good to do what kind of things at any age.
It's like Andy Lau, didn't he just take the route of little fresh meat when he was young? Just look at the movies when he was young, you can see that he is really simply handsome in the movies.
Shooting himself in the movie, the pistol has to be a game, how fancy how to come, butterfly knife, how to come fancy and how to come. Even the action of the fight, after the fight, will end with a handsome posture.
So when Andy Lau was young, he properly took the route of small fresh meat. When he got older, he began to pursue acting skills, removed a lot of fancy and handsome moves, and began to improve his acting skills. Then he began to become an actor, taking off the hat of not being able to act.
It's a really good route.
What do you do at what age? To be able to do this is entirely commendable.
On the contrary, when he was young, he excessively promoted his acting skills, which was not very good.
It's like Liu Xing, who is the Liu Xing who rains, snows, and hails. At the beginning, I kept promoting my acting school, acting school, and how good my acting skills were. So much so that in the back, the audience already had an impression of him, that is, he is an acting school, so when watching his TV series, the audience will subconsciously increase their acting requirements for him.

Then one of his TV series acting skills was not up to standard, and the character design collapsed directly, and then the resources plummeted.
If he didn't mark himself as an acting school, the TV series would not have acted well, and the consequences would not have been so serious.
Hmm, but then again, with his appearance, it seems that he can only set up an acting character for himself.
Therefore, in the entertainment industry, many characters can be established, even if the character collapses, there will be people who praise it. However, the character design of the acting school, especially the character design of the young people's acting school, is best not to stand if it can not stand.
Because acting skills are really a very high standard for an actor. Once the character of the acting school collapses, the consequences are often more serious than the collapse of other characters.
