Chapter 31: The Premiere (1/4)
Hot money is pouring into the film industry like crazy...
Taking Tianmei Media as an example, the market value is more than 100 billion.
However, Tianmei Media's annual profit is about 3 billion at most, and even less this year, because of the acquisition of Maoyan and the investment in several studios in Xiangshan, including the formation of a special effects alliance...
Spent a billion ...
These belong to boundary investments, after all, to make sci-fi and magic blockbusters, you need top studios and special effects companies.
Pull it back, that is to say, Tianmei Media's profit this year is more than one billion at most, but now the market value is over 100 billion...
The price-earnings ratio is generally 15-20 times more reasonable, and this Nima is approaching 100 times!
Typical foam...
But that's the way it is - the entertainment track has become a new investment hotspot, and the proposal of big entertainment and IP has made entertainment a sweet spot in the eyes of capital.
In the past, after investing money, the investor had the responsibility and pressure, at least he would urge the director to complete the project on time;
Now...
Let's put it this way, starting from the investment, this film was originally a 100 million shot, but it became 300 million when it was patted, and it was 600 million when it was sold.
Get all kinds of premiums for investment rights to sell.
Drumming and passing flowers...
Like "Hello, BJ", written and produced by Shen Xudong, directed by Ning Hao, starring Ge You, no matter how you look at it, it is also a billion-level project...
Therefore, knowledgeable people will judge that 600 million is unlikely, but according to the cost of 300 million, there is still a profit!
So how did you sell it at a premium of 600 million?
Simple, a lot of hot money - a bunch of capital involved in the film is not to make money through the movie itself, but to make money behind finance through complex financial tools and financial derivatives, what they lack is a phenomenal film project.
"Hello, BJ", they are willing to join at a premium.
Of course Shen Xudong knew these things.
He didn't like these things, but... also knows that this kind of thing is not something he can solve, just like P2P lending...
All he can do is regulate the film itself...
As for the investment share of "Hello, BJ" - since they know that this thing will definitely make money, the leading actors naturally have a share!
This is the rule of Tianmei - in general movies, the leading actors have an investment share, and they can even not be paid, but only receive box office dividends.
Of course, the premise is that the big stars.
You can also choose to get a high-priced salary, for example, "Hello, BJ" gave Ge You a salary of 60 million, and 60 million after tax!
β¦β¦
Feng Xiaogang didn't have time to manage "Private Custom", and he didn't do much publicity, so he was mainly busy tinkering with the Spring Festival Gala...
But no matter how busy he is, he has to come over for the premiere!
The premiere was hosted by Li Yong, and Feng Xiaogang attended with four leading actors Ge You, Bai Baihe, Li Xiaolu, and Zheng Kai...
After "33 Days of Broken Love", Bai Baihe is simply invincible in the field of Chinese-style chick movies...
Chinese-style chick movies pursue a kind of arrogance and indulgence under the premise of 'Chinese-style political correctness'.
ββChange the image of women from the stereotype of listeners to missionaries, and say some great truths that seem to be feminist, but in fact, in addition to eating and taking cards, they also pretend to be forced...
This kind of movie, women will definitely like it!
Her appearance and overall temperament give people a sense of life, with a bit of literature and steel, and at the same time, she also has the kind of sassy style of a successful working woman...
This thing is a weapon!
As for her acting skills, to be honest, she has not made much progress, and she belongs to the level of the head of that low-level sect. In martial arts, it is the "Five Tigers Broken Door Sword King", "The King of Arms Boxing" and the like, that is, the martial arts practiced are not very good on the stage, but one trick is eaten all over the world...
In this era, basically no one in the same field can beat her!
In the era of the end of the law, the Five Tigers Broken Door Sword King was enough.
Seeing Shen Xudong, Bai Baihe's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly stepped forward - Bai Baihe officially entered the film circle by starring in "33 Days of Broken Love", and Shen Xudong is her Bole...
Hugging it, Shen Xudong thought of a news article in "Private Custom", so he asked: "I heard that you were shocked by Teacher Fan Wei?" β
Bai Baihe nodded and admitted: "... Well, there is a scene where Mr. Fan Wei is so natural that I forgot that I was acting... Pulled away in an instant..."
"Fan Wei is really amazing, he has too few scenes in "Big Buddha", so we are ready to cooperate a few more times..."
"Really? Is there a role for me? β
"If so, I'm sure I'll be looking for you..."
Fan Wei's acting skills are really powerful, and what is even more powerful is his tenacity and plasticity...
Many of the so-called old drama bones tend to be single characters when they get older, and they are all the same.
Fan Wei is different, it can always give you a new feeling...
Just like old vinegar, the longer it lasts, the more fragrant it becomes.
Some people compared him with Zhao Benshan and described it like this:
Watching Fan Wei act, it gives people a feeling: there is a person who picks his teeth with an axe, and when he sees that his mouth is cut off immediately, there is nothing to do, and his teeth are clean;
Zhao Benshan... He doesn't stick to fixed lines, but first grasps the general direction of the plot, and then plays it according to the characteristics of the mission and the scene...
I used to think that Fan Wei was better than Zhao Benshan, after all, Lao Zhao has been in the comfort zone, and later watched "Falling Leaves Return to the Roots" and "The Legend of Magpie Knife Gate", and found that Lao Zhao's comfort zone is a bit big, and everywhere he goes, it is a comfort zone...
If you have the chance, you must let them work together again!
The script has been thought out - "Northeast Sherlock", based on "Sherlock on the Plains"...
β¦β¦
Feng Xiaogang's face was full of exhaustion, obviously the Spring Festival Gala made him lose a lot!
No matter who directs the Spring Festival Gala, it's all the same...
The framework routine is already established.
"It's difficult, you think it's a show that is very good, but the leader thinks it's not good, then you have to kill it, before, I think the most important thing for the Spring Festival Gala is to satisfy the people, but ah, the premise for you to satisfy the people is that you must satisfy the leaders, because the leaders are not satisfied, and the people can't see it."
"But the leader is satisfied, and the show is likely to be not good!"
Backstage, Feng Xiaogang briefly complained to Shen Xudong, Shen Xudong just listened, smoked a cigarette with him, and then went to the screening hall...
Feng Xiaogang's kind of upper-level thinking...
He is now institutionalized, and "Private Order" is full of greasy tones...
Let's review these three stories, each of which is a kind of "rotten":
The first paragraph: There are bad people in the masses;
Paragraph 2: The Debate of Elegance and Vulgarity? This thing is no longer grounded, is it meaningful to discuss the issue of the nineties twenty years later?
The third paragraph is the worst, fulfilling Song Dandan's dream of being rich, pouring a handful of chicken soup hard, and finally concluding: It is not easy to be rich.
In fact, there is a fourth paragraph, but it is fragmented... Absolutely not sure what he was trying to express!
Lunar New Year, take a political lesson with someone!
This matter, in fact, complains about the screenwriter Wang Shuo - he is used to the life of a drunken gold fan, and he still creates a fart...
The fate of creators, especially comedy creators, because most comedies focus on the joys and sorrows of the little people, you have to be down-to-earth, at least let the audience empathize, but after you succeed, the direct class jump, it is difficult to have a way to contact and feel the joys, sorrows and sorrows of the little people, although you can still create, but the story is more taken for granted...
"Private Order" is really not good!
