Chapter 274: You're a bit metaphysical
"Source Code" is on fire, and there is endless debate on the Internet about whether to sell dog meat on the head of a sheep.
Some people slander it, but some people support it.
The slanderers were led by Tao Haiyuan.
And there are many top directors in the circle who support it.
For example, Xu Rui.
He is much higher than Tao Haiyuan in the circle.
In addition, there is another person who has nothing to do with Zhang Sheng.
Jiang Bin!
This person can be regarded as a legendary figure in the circle.
A representative figure who acts and directs well.
The "Black Moon" at the top of the box office list was written, directed and acted by Jiang Bin.
In addition, Jiang Bin also won the Golden Dragon Award for Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Screenplay for a film written, directed and acted in by himself.
This person is the person with the most box office appeal in China.
It is also influential internationally.
It is one of the small groups at the top of the pyramid among Chinese filmmakers.
He opened his mouth to express his appreciation for "Source Code", which not only denigrated "Source Code" much quieter, but also pushed the popularity of the film to another level.
The May Day holiday is not long, far less than the National Day, Spring Festival and other schedules.
However, after the holiday, the single-day box office drop of "Source Code" was not much.
Or rather, as expected.
"I seem to have made a lot of money."
Wu Jie has a feeling like a dream these days.
"Source Code" put aside his and Gu Sisi's salaries, and the investment was only tens of millions.
The first day was basically a return on the cost.
Earned the next day.
Now that the May Day holiday is over, the box office has exceeded 500 million.
There is no suspense about breaking a billion.
As for whether it can break the 1.5 billion mark, there are different opinions on the Internet.
But 120 or 300 million seems to be perfectly fine.
It should be no problem for this film to earn him 400 million, right?
So how much can he take?
The box office of the movie "Source Code" is not optimistic about Changsheng Entertainment.
Or rather, no one is optimistic about it at all.
Zhang Sheng actually didn't know the bottom in his heart.
Wu Jie and Gu Sisi are willing to take this risk and convert their remuneration into investment, and they are naturally willing, so they give a high share of the shares.
If the two of them get paid, they are both at the tens of millions level.
Therefore, the investment in the whole film is more than 80 million, and the actual investment is about 50 million.
And spend more on special effects.
Wu Jie gets 18% of the box office profits, while Gu Sisi receives 20%.
Zhang Sheng, the director, also took 20 percent.
However, Zhang Sheng's dividends are not only box office profits, but also other income.
Then, Changsheng Entertainment takes 42% of the box office revenue.
Of course, Changsheng Entertainment's profit from this movie is obviously more than that.
There is also a lot of profit from film copyrights.
In addition, Changsheng Entertainment is also the distributor of this movie.
The release also has a box office share to take.
"It's really profitable." Gu Sisi said with a smile.
This time it seems to be better than "Night. Shop" takes more money!
doesn't get paid, but the income is several times higher than that of getting paid.
She was preparing to play in friendship before.
Wu Jie also took this film with the intention of acting in friendship, but he didn't want to make a lot of money.
He understood Dong Zheng's mood at the beginning.
Dong Zheng starred in "Night. "Shop" had the idea of entering the film industry, which made Changsheng Entertainment owe him a favor.
The result?
made a lot of money, not to mention, and then starred in Changsheng Entertainment's "Crazy Stone".
Dong Zheng is now also gaining a firm foothold in the film industry.
Earn at both ends!
It seems that I am too!
If "Wolf Warrior" is successful, it will naturally make more money.
When Zhang Sheng heard this, he smiled.
He is the one who makes the most money.
However, he really didn't expect Source Code to be so popular.
This box office.
Lady Luck is favored!
Ma Dan, I knew how to pay for it!
And most likely a friendship price.
Zhang Sheng felt that he might have lost more than 100 million.
"Don't you feel at a loss?" Gu Sisi smiled and looked at Zhang Sheng.
Is it a loss?
It's a big loss.
"What's to lose?" Zhang Sheng said, "The movie is a big hit, and I make the most money!" ”
"But if we both get paid."
"Investment is risky!" Zhang Sheng didn't wait for Wu Jie and said, "You took a risk, succeeded, and there was a reward, so it should be!" ”
This is not self-consolation.
High risk, high reward.
In a way, he did lose a lot.
But who can guarantee the success of this film?
If this movie is pounced, then if you watch it, won't he Zhang Sheng make money?
It didn't work that way.
After all, who would have known sooner!
Gu Sisi smiled.
Actors do not get paid, but participate in dividends.
This is not uncommon in circles.
They only participate in box office profit dividends, and some even take copyright and other dividends.
Even if the movie makes a profit many years later, they have a share.
Of course, she and Wu Jie haven't reached that coffee seat yet.
Some coffee with high positions not only get paid, but also enjoy profit dividends.
And the proportion is not low.
"Source Code" was a big hit, and the publicity was much bigger than previously planned.
The publicity fee has increased.
Zhang Sheng took Wu Jie and Gu Sisi to run a roadshow for several days.
"Source Code" swept everything, and "Demon Suppression", which was released at the same time, also performed extremely well.
As for Tao Haiyuan's "Relief of Worries", it seems to have pounced again.
And I heard that it was very unpleasant to have a quarrel with investors.
Investors believe that his personal behavior has affected the box office.
"He's really unlucky."
Zhang Sheng got the news and gloated a little.
The investor of the movie "Anxiety Relief" is obviously not a good bird either.
When Tao Haiyuan was making a fuss, didn't you see them stop him?
It's not like that.
It's just that he didn't expect to lift a stone and hit his feet, and then put the pot on Tao Haiyuan's head.
Of course, Zhang Sheng is also happy.
"If he didn't dance so happily, which was disgusting, the movie "Anxiety Relief" would not have been implicated by him and lost his popularity, and was boycotted by many people." Gu Sisi said, "Those fans of yours are the main force. ”
"Blame me?" Zhang Sheng pouted and said.
He had never been provoked by anyone, they were the ones who provoked him first.
Tao Haiyuan is obviously the same.
Several times of provocation, really when I Zhang Sheng has no temper?
"Don't tell me you're not working?" Gu Sisi said, "What kind of temper do you have, I don't know?" ”
"Where do I have that spare time?" Zhang Sheng said, "The company has only guided it a little. That guy's own character is too bad, no wonder others. Of course, the main thing is that the reputation of Source Code is much better than expected. ”
Slightly booted?
Perhaps!
Gu Sisi was not disgusted by this.
She has been in the entertainment industry since she was a child, and she has seen too much.
Zhang Sheng is actually quite big-minded.
If you change your mind, I'm afraid that Tao Haiyuan's reputation will be ruined, and he won't be able to get along in the entertainment industry, so he will stop.
"Tao Haiyuan wants to attract investment again in the future, I'm afraid it will be difficult." Gu Sisi said, "I don't know if I will quit the circle?" ”
Quitting the circle?
That's not all.
Tao Haiyuan used to be a first-line director.
Now it has a bad reputation, but people do still have the ability.
When promoting, keep a low profile, or don't participate directly, in fact, the impact is not very great.
Nowadays, fans pay attention to a movie, and they still pay more attention to the actors.
There are not many directors standing in front of the stage.
Of course, if Tao Haiyuan wants to turn over, I am afraid it will be difficult.
"After two fights in a row, investors naturally have to be cautious." Zhang Sheng smiled and said.
A director of Tao Haiyuan's level, if he pounces on one, it will not discourage investors.
This is also the reason why he said "Night. Shops and other films are bad movies, which has led to a bad reputation, but they can still release new films so quickly.
Someone is willing to invest.
However, now it has pounced again, and its reputation is even worse.
If the investor doesn't say that he is discouraged, I am afraid that he will have to hesitate.
"Many people feel wronged in his two films."
Si Siruo looked at Zhang Sheng with a smile, and almost didn't say that Tao Haiyuan's two-step movie hit the street at the box office, and he Zhang Sheng was the culprit.
Really?
The movie "You Are My Her", which hit the street at the box office, seems to have something to do with Zhang Sheng.
After all, his remarks of "scumbags looking for spare tires" did have a great impact on this movie.
As for the current "Relief of Worries", Zhang Sheng feels that he has been wronged a little.
Tao Haiyuan naturally jumped in a panic, ruining the popularity of passers-by and causing fans to boycott, otherwise even if Changsheng Entertainment instigated it behind his back, I am afraid it will not help!
"Wronged!" Zhang Sheng said, "He provoked it himself." ”
When Gu Sisi heard this, he suddenly had nothing to say.
She couldn't argue with it.
It was indeed Tao Haiyuan who provoked Zhang Sheng first.
As for why?
At first, I just wanted to step on Zhang Sheng to promote the movie, but I didn't step on it steadily, and I made a mistake.
Later, I wanted to get back to the field, but I didn't want to fall deeper and deeper, and when I came back to my senses, I couldn't extricate myself and had to "do it knowing that I couldn't do it", and now it has become a vicious circle.
"You say, will he jump out and say that "Resident Evil" is a bad movie?" Gu Sisi asked.
"Who knows?" Zhang Sheng said, "Sometimes, a person is crazy, not because he loses his mind, but because he has to. ”
Tao Haiyuan has been planted a few times, why did he still say that "Source Code" was a bad movie before it was released?
I really don't understand?
Didn't learn your lesson?
Apparently not.
I have to say that.
If it is right, then it was said before that "Night. Films such as "Shop" are the adverse effects of bad movies, and they will naturally fade a lot.
It's a pity that "Source Code" has an amazing reputation, and he was slapped in the face again.
Instead of turning over, it was planted deeper.
"Actually, I hope he will jump out and make a fuss when the time comes!" Zhang Sheng continued.
"Add a topic?" Gu Sisi smiled and said, "It's easy to publicize." ”
It was also the first time she had seen someone who wanted someone to say that his movie was bad.
However, I have to admit that Tao Haiyuan is so noisy, and several movies of Changsheng Entertainment have increased their popularity.
Otherwise, how could Zhang Sheng repeatedly say that he was a good person.
"It's just one aspect." Zhang Sheng said, "You didn't find a movie in which he scolded bad movies, and in the end the reputation was excellent." ”
"You're a bit metaphysical!" Gu Sisi smiled and said.
"It's not metaphysical at all!" Zhang Sheng said, "He scolded before filming, which can be regarded as a spur." ”
"Then you didn't let him scold your "Big Shot"?" Gu Si pondered for a moment, and then said.
