247 More and more frustrating salary
Fan Xiaopang and Wei Yang are making movies again!
This topic quickly reached the first place on the Weibo hot search list, and countless CP fans were overjoyed, and even passers-by were a little surprised.
From "Fame" to "Living Together in Time and Space", Wei Yang's two consecutive movies are starring Fan Xiaopang, and the information revealed is worth playing.
Soon, someone dug up a new company called [Bingyang Entertainment] under Fan Xiaopang's name, and the only two shareholders, one is her, and the other is a small company.
Gee!
It's making movies again, and it's starting a company together, and the person in charge of Coral Entertainment, who was so powerful before, was a fan before, and many people can't help but be curious.
Could it be that Cheng Fan succeeded in taking the position?
Since 2009's "You from the Star", the two have hooked up and partnered, a sister-brother relationship, a love triangle, and the same hotel had not been photographed before, Fan Xiaopang sent food and clothes to Wei Yang.
At this stage, it seems that it has gone one step further, and even joined forces to start a company, which is inevitably not to make people think too much.
So at the launch ceremony of "Living Together in Time and Space", some media asked about the relationship between the two directly.
"If opening a company is a lover, then the marriage certificate should not go to the Civil Affairs Bureau, but to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau."
Wei Yang was very calm: "I am a businessman, investment and cooperation is a common thing, this Bingyang company is just a cooperation project between the two of us, nothing more." ”
The reporter was unwilling: "Then can you ask, why do you want to open a company with Miss Fan?" ”
"Because she's Fan Bingbing!"
Wei Yang pointed to Fan Xiaopang, who was smiling next to him, and asked with some confusion: "She is one of the most popular female stars in this country and even in the whole of Asia, her personal brand and commercial value are a valuable asset, is it very confusing for us to cooperate to start a company together?" ”
Leaving aside the scandal between the two, there is almost no need to discuss this matter.
Stars of Fan Xiaopang's level are especially of strong commercial value, and some companies and enterprises cooperate with them.
Even if there is no Wei Yang and Blue Whale, there are Tangde Film and Television or other companies, from the perspective of normal business logic, it is a very normal investment and operation, but it is only because of the relationship between the two that it will be hyped up.
Even if Wei Yang has explained it now, and it is reasonable, many people still think that business cooperation is mixed with personal feelings.
Of course, their insistence is not unreasonable, this is indeed the truth of the matter, Boss Wei is outright hard-mouthed.
Compared with Boss Wei, who is more or less weak-hearted, Fan Xiaopang is much calmer, and even advertised.
Just this year, the "Legend of Wu Meiniang" jointly produced by Blue Whale and Bingyang will be officially established, and it is expected to start in the second half of the year or early next year, and Fan Xiaopang will personally play the heroine Wu Meiniang.
This did not surprise everyone, but what made everyone more interested was whether the male protagonist was played by Wei Yang.
Neither Fan nor Wei responded clearly to this, which was actually a kind of euphemism.
Wei Yang + Fan Xiaopang, this shooting cost can't be stopped.
Whether the TV station buys it or not is another matter, and more importantly, "The Legend of Wu Meiniang" is a big heroine drama, and there is no need to get Wei Yang as a foil.
If the heroine is a newcomer, it would be fine, Wei Yang participated in the performance to help carry the coffee, with Fan Xiaopang's fame, there is no need for this at all.
It's not impossible to get Wei Yang to play the male lead, but the cost performance is too poor, and under the premise of not being an exclusive project of Blue Whale, it is estimated that the team and even the company will not support it.
With this kung fu, Wei Yang personally took the lead in another project, and maybe the income was higher than joining "The Legend of Wu Meiniang".
Of course, in fact, the most important key is that Wei Yang doesn't want to.
He wants to really set up a frame for Fan Xiaopang, who can stop him, there are more such situations in the entertainment industry, everything cares about the gains and losses and positions, and there are really not many big names that can act.
And the reason why Wei Yang didn't want to was not that he didn't think Fan Xiaopang was worthy of him as a foil, but that he didn't like the script of "The Legend of Wu Meiniang".
Although it has been adapted by the Blue Whale screenwriting team, the quality is a little better than the original, but it still can't get rid of the essence of Mary Sue.
The setting of a young emperor with a love brain in the early stage + a scumbag in the middle and late stages is really not attractive to Wei Yang.
But if Li Zhi in the play is better portrayed, whether it is right or wrong, even if he is a super invincible perverted scumbag, as long as the characteristics are more distinct, the character settings are brilliant, and there are enough memory points, Wei Yang may consider it.
is like Yongzheng in "The Legend of Zhen Huan", don't look at it as a big heroine, but its play space and sense of presence are not weak at all.
However, the role of Li Zhi in "Wu Meiniang" is too mediocre, and even has some tool man attributes, purely as a foil to Wu Meiniang's heroine, Wei Yang naturally has little interest.
These entertainment reporters are all old oilers, so they naturally understand the subtext, but it does not prevent them from still writing "Wei Yang is suspected of acting".
After all, in this way, there will be traffic and attention, and Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang will not clarify for various reasons.
Mutual benefit!
The scandal between Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang occupied most of the space of the opening ceremony, and the rest was a discussion about the movie.
This time in "Living Together in Time and Space", Wei Yang did not serve as the director, and his behind-the-scenes identity was the producer + chief screenwriter + producer.
But all regard him as the first creator of this film.
Because the directors of "Living Together in Time and Space" are two unknown newcomers, one is called Su Lun and the other is Tian Yusheng.
The former has just graduated from college a few years ago, and the public information has not even participated in the official film and television crew, and the shooting experience is all MV or advertising.
The latter is also very young, not yet 30 years old this year, born as a screenwriter, and his masterpiece is "People in Embarrassment", and he has no directorial experience.
Such two pure newcomer directors can be the directors of "Living Together in Time and Space", although Wei Yang is a newcomer, but it is also revealed that the two are just "puppets", and it is Wei Yang who works when the crew speaks.
In fact, it is not wrong to say that although Wei Yang is not a temporary director, the crew of "Living Together in Time and Space" is indeed what he says.
It's just something that outsiders don't know much about. Those two rookie directors are not complete puppets, but rookies who are really capable.
Su Lun himself is the original director of "Living Together in Time and Space" in his previous life, and he has a certain grasp of color and visual pictures.
And Tian Yusheng single-handedly created the "Predecessor Raiders" series, which is also a good hand in the field of commercial love in the industry.
Of course, although both of them have made some achievements in the future, they are now fledglings, and their Taoism is still far behind, so Wei Yang is needed to check it.
In fact, Wei Yang originally wanted to find Xue Xiaolu to make this movie, she is better at love themes, and she also thought about Chen Kexin, who is also a famous love director.
However, Chen Kexin was busy with "Dear", and Xue Xiaolu was preparing for the filming of "Beijing Falls in Love with Seattle", with conflicting schedules.
In desperation, Wei Yang could only bring in two rookie directors to be the producer himself.
There is no doubt that under such a lineup, the presence of the two newcomer directors is extremely low, and Wei Yang is also regarded by the outside world as the real director and controller of "Living Together in Time and Space".
Many people even directly put the director's name on his head, and the two rookie directors as deputies, or even simply executive directors.
In this regard, Su and Tian did not mean to be dissatisfied, and even the two of them themselves thought so.
In this way, Wei Yang, the leading actor, also has to take on some responsibilities as a director and talked about movies.
"This is a story of time and space, which is somewhat similar to the original "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star", but it is very different in setting......"
Wei Yang is known as a talented screenwriter, largely because he likes to play atypical routines.
Let's not talk about the adaptation of online texts, in the original script, many people like to play tricks.
For example, the famous works "Twinkle Twinkle Twinkle Star", "You from the Star", and the film debut "Rise to Fame".
The first two are time and space loops, and the other is aliens, the latter doesn't have so many bizarre settings, but it combines Blizzard Hills mode + comedy suspense very well.
At that time, there was still speculation that Wei Yang would play some bizarre settings in the movie, but he didn't expect the second movie to come to a "Living Together in Time and Space".
Time and space + cohabitation, just five words filled the gimmick and sense of expectation, and became a highly anticipated hit movie.
However, what disappointed everyone was that Wei Yang just chatted a little about the external settings, and did not reveal too much.
However, Fan Xiaopang said how he liked the script, and then he felt very excited, all kinds of soft grinding and hard bubbles, and finally moved Wei Yang, won the role, made the media smile, and there was no shortage of materials when he went back.
Wei Yang glanced at Fan Xiaopang appreciatively, not to mention anything else, in terms of publicity and marketing, Fan Xiaopang is definitely the woman who has the most tacit understanding with him.
The division of labor is clear, he is willing to give materials, filming or doing activities with her, and Wei Yang never has to worry about exposure and topics.
In fact, Xiao Zhao and Da Mi Mi will also do this, but the technique and heat are much worse, far less than Fan Xiaopang's weightlifting, and the proportions are just right.
At the end of the start-up press conference, the crew stopped.
Fan Xiaopang took an exclusive interview, while Wei Yang drank water in the lounge and listened to the publicity team's cooperation plan.
is different from the group drama of "Rise to Fame", "Living Together in Time and Space" is basically the role of Wei and Fan, with several supporting roles and cameo roles.
At present, most of the other actors have not joined the group, and the roles are really limited, so the only leading actors who still show up are Wei Yang and Fan Xiaopang.
After the plan was completed, Wei Yang pulled the two directors to chat about tomorrow's shooting plan.
Needless to say, the room at the center of time and space can only be set up in the studio, and then part of the exterior can be used on the spot, and the rest can be used for special effects.
Since it is time and space, Wei Yang attaches great importance to texture, and the props must be done well, especially in the old time and space, and many real-life streets and locations must pay close attention to details.
The scenes of this film are limited, and the production cost is not high, mainly in terms of special effects, scenery and actors' salaries.
Especially Wei Yang's remuneration, his value has soared after "Rise to Fame", and the salary of the movie alone has risen to the level of a first-line movie café.
The salary of a single movie starts at 8 million, which has caught up with the previous Uncle Ge.
There's no way, who let Uncle Ge belong to the nature of green leaves and need to cooperate, and Wei Yang can support the project by himself, 8 million is just a starting price, and the actual invitation to him is definitely more than that.
If you add the behind-the-scenes production costs of the screenwriter's script, this price is also one of the few in the entertainment industry.
What's more important is that Wei Yang doesn't just take money at all, he is very similar to Cheng Long, in addition to the salary, he wants to get dividends.
For example, in "Living Together in Time and Space", Wei Yang's packaging price is 20 million + 10% movie dividends.
This price is already very generous, if it weren't for Wei Yang himself already accounting for the vast majority of the investment share, he would never agree to this ratio.
For example, Cheng Long's "Zodiac", he himself gets a zero salary, but he directly eats more than half of the share, that is to say, only one person, not a penny, belongs to "white prostitution".
Wei Yang is different, he separates himself from the company, the company's investment is investment, and personal remuneration must also be paid, of course, it is basically a "friendship price".
There are pros and cons to both methods, Cheng Long is to give full play to his personal brand, and Wei Yang still has to take care of the company's development.
Fan Xiaopang is purely paid, her current salary has risen sharply, the price of the movie is 8 million, of course, the actual price is not so high, 6.5 million is done.
Even so, this increase is very amazing, you must know that when she filmed "Rise to Fame" a year ago, her friendship price was only 2.8 million.
This is also the reason why Wei Yang insisted on founding Coral Entertainment, and the artist's current salary increase is too frustrating.
Originally, there were not many first-tier artists with an annual income of more than 10 million, but now many second-tier artists are expected to break through the eight-figure figure, and the head artists are even expected to hit the 100 million level.
With a few top and popular artists in his hands, the profits are no worse than some well-known film and television companies, and the key is to save money by using his own people.
Under normal circumstances, there is an internal price for self-artists to shoot their own films, and the price depends on the conscience of the boss.
The point is seven or eight percent of the market price, half of the general one, three or four percent of the black heart, and the one who loses his conscience is to give a basic remuneration or even not to give money, but few people do this.
The blue whale is also generous to the artist, basically seven or eight percent of the market price, and sometimes even gives the market price, and the artist's fame and coffee position come up, and the price should also rise.
In this case, in fact, the savings are not much, as little as hundreds of thousands, as much as millions, and that's it.
But when the salaries of these artists rise, the number of provinces will be extremely considerable, and it is easy to save tens of millions, or even tens of millions, and it is likely to be more in the future.
Not to mention far away, just "Why Sheng Xiaomo" and "The Legend of the Ancient Sword", the blue whale tasted the sweetness.
The combined internal salaries of the two saved the Blue Whale an eight-figure budget.
As a filmmaker, Wei Yang hates this inflated market very much, but as the owner of artists and artist companies, he can't wait for the salary to take off.
It's painful and happy!
But in any case, the salaries of Wei Yang, Fan Xiaopang and the supporting roles from all walks of life add up to almost 30 million, and the production cost + publicity, the cost of "Living Together in Time and Space" must be at least 60 million or more.
Therefore, it is said that Wei Yang makes money ruthlessly, and the market changes are even more ruthless, and it is estimated that in another two years, there will be no more popular movie projects than nine figures.
Two years ago, Wei Yang felt that 10 million was a big number, but now 100 million is a little numb to listening.
The phrase "small goal" is getting more and more relaxed.........
