Chapter 114: Splitting Accounts (2/4)
Shen Xudong has actually been in contact with Liu Tianxian all the time...
Generally, Liu Yifei takes the initiative to text and complain about the difficulties of life or shooting...
Some time ago, well, in fact, on November 30th, "Love Winner" directed by Zhu Yanping and starring Liu Yifei, Lin Zhiying, Xu Shaoyang, and Yang Gongru was released as scheduled, and the box office was miserable...
Focusing on the Hong Kong and Taiwan markets, the box office in Hong Kong was 7,000 yuan on the first day, and after 10 days of release, it only got a box office of 77,000, and Taiwan was slightly better, but it also did not reach a box office of one million Taiwan dollars.
Hit the streets!
And there is no sound in the streets...
Liu Yifei was very depressed, and she was curious why she didn't do publicity.
"Because the publisher is not optimistic, do you think that publicity does not cost money?"
Shen Xudong's answer is always true, but... It's heart-wrenching!
The angry Liu Yifei didn't take the initiative to talk to him for several days, but soon "Keep Talking" broke 20 million, she sent a congratulatory text message, and Shen Xudong replied, 'Wait!' ’
What are you waiting for?
Wait for "Party A and Party B 2" to be released!
Sure enough, "Party A and Party B 2" quickly broke 100 million yuan in a record-breaking manner, with a cumulative box office of 145 million in 20 days of release...
】
In this regard, Liu Yifei can only envy!
At the same time, she is a little skeptical of her mother's judgment - according to Shen Xudong's current attitude, a few of those two horror films can break 10 million...
It's the horror movie that her mother tried so hard to stop her from staring in!
Of course, she called mainly to congratulate Shen Xudong, and by the way, she talked about the thrilling matters during the shooting.
"I'm too dangerous today, there is a scene where the dragon girl tries to jump over the waterfall, I think the current is very small, I didn't care, I didn't expect it to be so urgent, I was almost swept into the water..."
"Are you alright?"
"It's okay, fortunately, Brother Xiao Ming reacted quickly and grabbed me."
“… Be careful next time... It's time to use a stand-in, a stand-in! ”
"Hmm... I see..."
"Is your mother in trouble with the director?"
"My mom doesn't know..."
“… You're the best... Okay, that's it, I'm not done yet! ”
He hung up the phone, and Liu Yifei on the other end of the phone hung up...
Why do you say that Aunt Liu is the best?
There was a kiss scene, which was originally a kiss on the face, but Brother Xiao Ming was too involved and touched his lips, which made Aunt Liu, who was watching next to her, furious...
made all the men dare not take the initiative to say hello to Liu Yifei!
In the script of "The Withering Heroes", Shen Xudong arranged a kiss scene, and there were several scenes in the original book...
How could Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu not kiss?
But this version just doesn't have a kissing scene!
……
After making the call, returning to Deng Jie and Xu Fan, Deng Jie asked, "How did I hear the voice of a little girl?" ”
"I met when I was with the group, and I was a cute little girl... It's just that the house is a little strict..."
"Little girl? Who? ”
"Liu Yifei is the one who plays Wang Yuyan!"
Xu Fan interjected: "She... I know she..."
"Really? She's so famous? ”
Xu Fan smiled: "It's quite famous..."
Deng Jie listened for a long time and interjected: "Is that the person?" ”
"Yes, that's her!"
What did these two men say?
Deng Jie turned his face to look at Shen Xudong and warned: "You'd better not have anything to do with this kind of person..."
“… Not really... We are friends..."
"Friends are fine, but don't be related... Her godfather is amazing! ”
"Oh!"
All right...
Chen Ganpa, the first person to create the godfather culture in the mainland entertainment industry, has been standing tall...
Ironclad has the ability!
In addition, don't correct the words, a godfather is a godfather, and a godfather?
This is China!
Don't feel aggrieved, Chen Gandad is a realistic version of Qian Qianyi, and he is also a rich version, cultivate her, raise her, teach her carefully, spend a lot of money to build her, and pave the way for her...
Of course, in the eyes of fans, it's all investment, it's just business...
"If you're looking for a girlfriend, I'll introduce you to a few simpler backgrounds..."
"Well, thank you, Auntie...
……
At the hotel where the crew of "The Best Family" stayed, Gao Fenfen was settling accounts, to be precise, settling accounts with Chen Xi...
"Party A and Party B 2", she followed the investment of 2 million, less than 10%, almost about 8%...
Shen Xudong actually knows about this.
But what he thinks about is Feng Xiaogang's movie, why should he invest in it?
So, I didn't care, it was said at the time, 'Who can you convince to give up that investment share?'"
Think about it, Taihe people, Huayi, Forbidden City Pictures, China Film and a few theaters share this cake together, why do people take you to play?
Hey, hey, I really brought it!
Deng Jie gave up 8% of the investment share...
145 million, the theater will brush off sixty percent, and the rest will be deducted from taxes and messy things, that is, more than thirty percent.
After deducting costs, publicity expenses...
Basically, you can only earn a cost!
However, because the advertising revenue of the film plus the copyright income is too hanging, the cost and publicity are slightly equal to zero...
In other words, the number available for sharing is about 50 million.
8% of 50 million is 4 million...
Chen Xi quickly calculated this answer and said: "We should be able to divide about 4 million, deduct the cost of 2 million, and make double the profit..."
Gao Fenfen was surprised: "It's not wrong, right? Only 2 million? ”
“… It's already very good, 100% ROI yet! ”
"No, I mean 145 million at the box office..."
"Cinemas take sixty percent!"
Gao Fenfen was immediately unhappy: "The theater didn't do anything, just take sixty percent?" ”
Chen Xi said: "I heard them say that it is because the foundation of our cinema is too weak, the number of screens is still too small, and the development and construction of cinemas will take a few years, and it is unlikely to increase the proportion of account sharing for the time being, otherwise, it will affect the speed of cinema construction and development..."
"That's not fair, why? All the risks are borne by the producers? ”
“… After a pause, Chen Xi continued: "So, Xudong has always been reluctant to make movies!" ”
Gao Fenfen nodded: "I still scolded him for cowardly... The film is really risky... And this electricity revenue..."Speaking of this, she suddenly remembered something: "No! ”
"What's wrong?"
"We're in a stalemate with Orange Sky, so what about the investment in "The Aviator"?"
Chen Xi was also stunned...
"The Aviator" is the first film work set by the company, and it was said that it was good, and Orange Sky invested.
Although it is only a verbal agreement, everyone thinks that the investor is none other than Orange Sky!
The reason is very simple, during that time, the two sides were considered to be in the honeymoon period, and a cooperation model was initially established in which the company was responsible for project production and Orange Sky was responsible for giving money...
But... Xudong and Wu Kebo had a stiff fallout, and this relationship was directly suspended!
"Soldier Assault", Orange Sky withdrew its investment, and Hua Yi made up for it;
"The Best Family", Orange Sky has also withdrawn, and the company's own e-commerce...
Movie...
Gao Fenfen doesn't want to advance money!
Again, the risk is too great.
Chen Xi thought for a long time and came up with an idea: "If it doesn't work, find a famous director to direct... Jiang Wen is about to lift the ban! ”
Gao Fenfen was a little speechless: "How did you think of Jiang Wen?" He's no ordinary director... He couldn't have shot it according to Xudong's script... And we can't afford to invite Jiang Wen! ”
