The Asian box office of "Journey to the West" should be 205 million US dollars, of which the mainland box office is 171 million US dollars, which means that the rest of Asia contributed more than 25 million US dollars!

300 million yuan buyout, you have to earn!

Almost half of the earned.

Of course, before the release of this movie, no one dares to guarantee the box office~

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Stephen Chow not to sign an issuance contract with Huayi...

According to the supplementary contract of the lawsuit, the box office exceeded 500 million, and Zhou Xingchi had dividends...

Of course, the two sides have different definitions of 500 million, Zhou Xingchi believes that if the box office exceeds 500 million, there will be dividends, and Hua Yi said that the box office income is 500 million...

In fact, as long as Huayi admits that there is 500 million in this data, everyone who knows knows that Huayi wants to repay the debt...

Box office revenue of 500 million, what concept, box office 1.5 billion...

It's impossible...

However, now, Zhong Lifang proposed a 300 million buyout...

What is the concept?

Zhou Xingchi made 187 million!

Oh, "Journey to the West" costs 113 million...

Later, "The Mermaid" and "The Demon Chapter" belong to premium investment...

Shen Xudong was a little speechless: "300 million is not satisfied?" Do you want to pay dividends? Which door is red? ”

“… He likes money..."

"You tell Zhong Lifang, either buy it out for 300 million, or let him go to the publisher himself, we don't have time to play with him!"

Chen Xi nodded: "Okay, I know..."

Shen Xudong 'um' for a moment, continued to read the script, and Chen Xi came over: "This is "Detective Chinatown 2"? ”

"Yes..."

"You direct it yourself?"

"It depends on the situation, if there is a suitable director, I will hand it over to him, and I will be the producer..."

“… Do you have any plans to direct a new film? ”

"Not yet... Why do you ask this? ”

Chen Xi explained: "I had a phone call with Da Tiantian two days ago, and she asked..."

Shen Xudong asked rhetorically: "Isn't Tian Tian's partner Donnie Yen starring in "Special Identity"? ”

“… She wants to play the role she can..."

"Then let's act in a TV series... Find her an ancient puppet..."

"It's okay..."Chen Xi nodded, and then remembered something: "Now the salary of celebrities has risen a bit outrageously!" ”

"What's the outrageous method?"

"What do you guess Zhao Liying's offer for the TV series?"

Without waiting for Shen Xudong to speak, Chen Xi replied to himself: "Our company's "Splendid Stars", the whole drama is quoted at 20 million... I thought it was very high, but it turned out that a drama outside was quoted for 35 million..."

"The market is so big, there are so many audiences, and there are only a few people who recognize it, and everyone grabs it, but it's not high.

Stephen Chow was paid 20 million yuan in the 90s, which was the 90s. Not only Hong Kong and Taiwan, but also the whole of Southeast Asia.

Hollywood stars are more expensive than in China because they have a global market. ”

"That's an exaggeration! Where do they have a Southeast Asian market? ”

"The main video platforms are at war, which has raised the price of long video copyrights, and you see that their offer to take over the movie is not so outrageous!"

"It's also..."Chen Xi sighed: "It can't go up anymore, if it goes up again, how can we make money?" ”

"I can let them convert their salary into an investment!"

Chen Xi shook his head: "People don't want to." ”

"Don't want to? Why? ”

"Pay the film directly, guarantee income in drought and flood, and convert it into investment, what if the drama doesn't sell well?"

“… If it sells out, won't the actor earn more? ”

"There aren't many actors who have this kind of courage."

……

The soaring salary of actors began in 09, cable TV was completely popularized, and there was a satellite TV ranking thing, and each satellite TV bought films at a high price in order to compete for the audience and advertising fees, just at this time, mainland film and television companies were vying to go public to make money, film Huayi, TV Huace, all have money...

Crazy bidding to grab A-list stars!

Chen Daoming, Li Youbin, and Sun Honglei directly rose to 800,000 for a single episode...

Then around 2015, with the implementation of the two-drama one-star policy, the Internet platform ushered in a highlight moment, in order to compete with traditional satellite TV for audiences and high-quality film and television resources, a lot of money was burned...

directly burned the star's salary to more than 50 million for a single drama!

This is called market decision.

Later, the market couldn't bear it, all kinds of complaints, and then the top came up with policies, and more than 400 below, including video platforms and film and television companies, collectively endorsed and demanded to limit high salaries.

In fact, in the final analysis, it is also market regulation!

The video platform can't move anymore and doesn't want to play, so the salary cut has become a consensus...

This is actually a manifestation of the content company's lack of confidence in itself, you look at Noon Sunshine, there is no such thing, many so-called big-name actors are willing to take the initiative to reduce their salaries to participate in Noon Sunshine dramas!

Shen Xudong believes that once the name of PPTV's self-made drama is launched, there will definitely be many actors who are willing to take a salary cut to participate!

Although most of the stars and actors in our circle are fond of vanity, it is also beneficial to love vanity, because good works can allow them to increase their chips when they are blowing.

……

The release of "Da Wudang" did not stop "Painted Skin 2" from continuing to dominate the box office list...

It's just that the proportion of the market has dropped from 80% to 70%...

"Da Wudang" is really bad!

In fact, the setting of this script is still good, a bit of the taste of cultivating immortals, but the specific performance is much worse.

If the protagonist is changed to an old Taoist who wants to cultivate immortals and ascend, then the movie will be a good suspense film, but unfortunately, it can't...

There isn't even the slightest element of suspense!

You look at the script setting, in the early days of the Republic of China, the martial arts event of a hundred years of reincarnation was about to start, and masters from all walks of life gathered in Wudang Mountain, the holy land of Taoism, to strive to be "the first in the world".

The archaeology professor also came to Wudang for the legendary treasure of Zhenshan, but he didn't know that he was caught in the biggest crisis in Wudang since Zhang Sanfeng created the faction...

The protagonist is set to be an archaeology professor!

The first half is very martial arts, and the second half is completely "Raiders of the Lost Ark"...

The two types are forcibly fused, and the fusion is quite poor, so it's a bad movie!

Netizen comments: After ruining the Shaolin Temple for so many years, it's finally time to start with Wushi!

Thanks to "Da Wudang", it was rotten out of the circle on the first day, and "Painted Skin 2" collected another 192 million the next weekend, with a cumulative box office of more than 600 million!

Yang Xiaomi was quite speechless and came to Shen Xudong to complain.

At least that's what she told Shen Xudong!

Straight to the racecourse...

Shen Xudong was a little surprised when he saw Yang Xiaomi, because she was not alone: "You can come, why do you still bring someone?" ”

“… This is an actress signed by my studio, called Zhu Xudan, how is it? ”

Zhu Xudan hurriedly greeted: "Shen... Senior..."

"Oh, you're in the middle of the drama?"

“… Yes, I'm in the Chinese drama this year..."

"This year... So how old are you? ”

"I'm 20..."

Yang Xiaomi explained: "She was an artist under the company before, but there is no opportunity for the film to be filmed, so I'm coming..."

Shen Xudong frowned: "The freshmen and sophomores of Chinese opera are not allowed to film!" ”

"What do you say about her?"

Shen Xudong replied casually: "Your vision is definitely not bad... Let's go, go on horseback! ”

“… I'm not going, I'm going to go around with Xu Dan..."

"You're coming to the racecourse... Forget it, I'll ride my own horseback! ”
