……

On April 14th, as always, in the entertainment industry, all kinds of news are flying all over the sky, and there is never a shortage of hot spots.

Among them, what attracted more than seventy percent of the attention was Lu Bu's solo concert and announcement of the shooting of his personal movie, as well as the change of roles in Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff".

【Concert】

"August ~ December, this time period is very good!"

"Ahh

"Ten is too little, at least all provincial capitals and several municipalities in the country should have one."

"It's been a long time coming, and it's finally time for a concert."

"When will tickets be sold? Can't wait! ”

"Make the venue bigger, otherwise it will be difficult to grab tickets."

……

Lu Bu's ten concerts lasted for about two months, first in six cities in China, then in three foreign cities, and ended in Yanjing.

Among them, the five cities in the mainland are 3~80,000 stadiums.

Heung Kong is a 12,500-seat Hung Hom.

Taipei is a small arena with 15,800 seats.

Seoul is the 69,000-seat main Olympic arena.

Singapore and New York are small venues with 1~30,000 seats.

Moreover, the large venue has three stands, and the number of seats will shrink by about 20%, so tickets are basically not sold.

In fact, in the research of the marketing department, Yanjing's feedback is the best, and it can even impact a single concert of 100,000 people.

But Lu Bu was quite cautious.

Because after all, singers are side jobs, and their main business is actors, so it's hard to say how many people will pay to listen to his concerts.

Moreover, it can only be used as a reference data, and it is not 100% accurate.

In addition, if the attendance rate of the two concerts in Seoul and Singapore can be more than 80%, then it proves that Lu Bu has completely opened up the Asian market, and the "Asian king" given by the outside world is worthy of the name.

If the attendance rate is very miserable, that is to say, the high popularity and high popularity generated by the variety show "We Are Married", the movie "Myth", "A Chinese Ghost Story 4 Days" and the TV series "Full House of Romance" in Asia are false, or that the high popularity and high popularity are only reflected in movies and TV series.

However, various data show that fans at home and abroad are very enthusiastic about going to see Lu Bu's concert.

And to do this, not only to give back to the fans, but of course, to make money.

However, if you want to "play" the concert, there are still many doorways inside.

This is to first understand the economic logic of concerts.

1. The singer and the agency signed the first concert revenue contract, and the cost of the entire concert tour of the Chinese first-line singer started at 300W, and after the singer signed the contract, the final income of the concert had nothing to do with the singer.

2, the brokerage company packaged the right to host the concert, and sold it at a premium for the first time, on the basis of 3 million, according to the singer's fame premium, such as Wang Jingwen's tenfold premium, after the brokerage company completed the sale, the final income of the concert has nothing to do with the brokerage company.

3. Large entertainment companies buy the singing and hosting rights of singer brokerage companies, complete the second premium and then sell, or directly undertake the process, this process will last for a long time, and may change to two, three, or even more, and one more company participates, and the premium will be one more time.

4. The organizer and the organizer determined that all the above sources of expenses and box office pressure were piled up at this step, and the organizer and the organizer began to determine the ticket price according to the final premium and their own revenue expectations.

All in all, whether a concert makes money or not depends mainly on whether the singer's appeal is strong or not, and whether the tickets are good or not.

Lu Bu's concert was talked about by Yu Feihong, and it was hosted and undertaken by Mengjiang Studio and four entertainment companies: Huangying Entertainment, Hairun Film and Television, Zhouyi Film and Television, and Longteng Film and Television.

Moreover, the contract is also special, and most of the final income is taken by Lu Bu, accounting for 30%, the engineering producer takes 20%, the lighting and sound provider takes 20%, and the remaining 30% is the income of the five host contractors.

Therefore, if the tickets are not sold for more than 70%, then the investor of this concert will definitely lose.

There are also ticket prices for concerts, which are determined by comparing and weighing the singer's specifications and market acceptance.

For the five shows in the mainland, the general ticket is 128~288, and the VIP ticket has four tiers, namely 488, 688, 888 and 1088.

It is a medium ticket price, and the area is very finely divided, so that the audience feels reasonable as much as possible.

The ticket prices for the five shows in Xiangjiang, Taipei, Seoul, Singapore, and New York will be slightly higher, and the economy is developed.

The marketing department used a formula to calculate, in the case of an attendance rate of more than 80%, the box office guarantee of this global tour is almost 100 million, and Lu Bu takes 30%, which can be divided into about 30 million.

Therefore, singers with high influence will make a profit without losing money when they hold concerts.

This is also the reason why Xiangjiang singers such as Zhang Xueyu and Andy Lau go to the Red Pavilion from time to time to hold many concerts, all of which are money.

Of course, Lu Bu's influence in the Chinese music scene can't compare with them.

For such a large-scale and multi-show concert, if there is a different person, I am afraid that not many entertainment companies will dare to take over.

Mainly this is Lu Bu's first concert, and fans can't wait for a long time, and then the sales and word-of-mouth of the album "2005, Singing Still" exploded, accumulating a lot of popularity, plus he has been mixing well in the film and TV circles in the past two years, absorbing a large number of fans, and he has a good relationship with the bosses of four entertainment companies, so he was able to promote this matter.

If you choose to sell the hosting rights, the price will be cut by half.

However, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens.

Yu Feihong also asked people to do various research and analysis, and made various emergency plans to prevent overturning.

【Solo Movie】

"It's coming, it's really coming!"

"When he changed his name to 'Lu Bu', I guessed that there would be such a day!"

"I said why didn't the second brother appear in the cast of "Red Cliff", it turned out that he filmed it himself!"

"I'll go, directors Xu Krypton, Jiang Wen, Ning Hao, Lu Bu, screenwriters Zhang Jizhong, Tsui Hark, Lu Bu, producers Yu Feihong, Shi Nansheng, Luo Xiong, martial arts instructors Yuan Heping, Lu Bu, Zhang Jin, this main creative team is about to take off."

"I write, direct and act by myself, I'm already looking forward to it."

"The only concern is that the audience can tell the story of the Three Kingdoms from the perspective of 'Lu Bu'?"

……

"The accomplished actors around me are all dreaming of being a director", this is a senior filmmaker in the circle who sighed to the reporter of "China Film and Television News".

It is not uncommon to act and direct, and it has been there for a long time.

The transformation of Chinese actors into directors can be traced back to the 70~80s of the 20th century, Cheng Cage and Hong Qibao are typical representatives, and in the 90s of the 20th century, there were such as Jiang Wen, Zhou Gaochi and so on.

With the process of industrialization of Chinese films, the trend of actors transforming into directors has intensified, some people have the same scenery, and some people have encountered double box office word-of-mouth.

But it is still the same sentence "cross-border is risky, and you need to be cautious when changing careers".

After Lu Bu weighed it again, he chose to bring in three directors, Xu Krypton, Jiang Wen, and Ning Hao, to give him a back-up.

It's hard to make money.

And his series of movies, with a total investment of 600 million, that is, 200 million for a single film, is not sloppy at all, so he can't be as capricious as Zhou Jilun, because the cost of "The Secret That Can't Be Said" is only 10 million.

There are optimistic and unoptimistic inside and outside the industry.

The reasons are varied.

Some people think that he does not have this ability, and the director, as the core gatekeeper of the quality of a film, needs to have unique creativity, outstanding talent, professional knowledge, and the ability to coordinate and grasp the overall situation.

Some people think that his steps are too big, and his quick success and quick success, and the transformation of playing tickets, will only produce shoddy "fast food" and "fast food" directorial debuts, such works are destined to be a "one-shot deal".

Some people also think that he will succeed, because in the long-term filming process, the actor is familiar with the director's directing style, means, and skills, and can accumulate and learn, although he is not a professional director, but the number of works he has participated in as an actor may be more than the number of directors directing, and he can learn different directing skills from different directors, and then apply these experiences to his own creation, which is an advantage.

And Lu Bu didn't care about this, he was full of confidence.

Investors are also full of confidence in him.

The 200 million funds were raised in a few days, and the four entertainment companies with good relations, Huangying Entertainment, Hairun Film and Television, Zhouyi Film and Television, and Longteng Film and Television, each contributed 30 million, Mengjiang Studio 30 million, Coal Boss 20 million, Zhang Guirong personally 10 million, Cheng Cage personal 10 million, Ren Yang personal 5 million, Yu Feihong and others 5 million.

Good popularity is easy, but if the first part loses, the next two will not be so easy to attract investment.

As for the actors, this one takes its time, it doesn't start so quickly, and you have to wait until the filming of "The King of Kung Fu" is finished and the concert is finished.

However, hearing that Lu Bu is going to make a movie, the main creative team is luxurious, and the investment is very high, and many brokerage companies and actors have already released their intention to cooperate.

The comment area under Lu Bu's personal Sina blog is also occupied by major stars.

[Huohua Society (V)]: Mao urged self-recommendation!

[real Ren Yang's BLOG meal (v)]: I want to make a comeback!

……

Whether you can get mixed with the role is a matter later, let's talk about a wave of heat first.

Some roles have to be played by specific actors, and they may not be suitable, but it's okay to play a small cameo role.

They are all friends, and people will do it in place.

["Red Cliff" Corner Change Turmoil]

"Is it hype? Or is it true? ”

"Whether it's true or not, this film has just started and earned enough eyeballs."

"Yes, the main roles have changed many times, the main creators are not in harmony, and the total investment is unknown...... The news is endless. ”

"It's okay, now the cast is set."

"Anyway, I've changed it a few times, and it's still super luxurious."

"It doesn't affect my expectations."

……

The film has attracted much attention due to constant disputes since it was first launched, and the biggest controversy is the cast.

With a pair of "electric eyes", Liang Chaowei, who has an uninhibited and introverted image in films such as "Infernal Affairs", "2046", and "Chongqing Forest", plays the resourceful and tongue-fighting Zhuge Liang?

The elder brother Zhang Guirong, who is over half a hundred years old and no longer in the past, "transformed" into a handsome Zhou Lang who is only in his early thirties?

The "rough old man" with a tiger's back and a bear's waist is actually the famous "sissy" Uncle Liu Huang in history who cries at every turn?

As soon as the list of actors was announced on the Internet, it was really shocking, and the vast majority of netizens denounced it as "unreliable".

Then.

First of all, Liang Chaowei claimed that he took the initiative to resign from Zhuge Liang because of "Mandarin is not up to par", and he will be topped by Jin Chengwu;

Then the role of Sun Quan, which was originally played by Zhang Zhen, was also changed to Liu Ye, the reason announced to the public was that Wu Yusen and the producer both thought that Liu Ye was very suitable for the role of Sun Quan, but before the start of the film, it became Zhang Zhen again;

followed by Zhang Jingchu's Da Qiao scene being completely deleted and forced to withdraw before filming started;

Finally, Zhou Runfa resigned from Cao Cao on the first day of start-up, Liang Chaowei came back to save the scene and still played Zhuge Liang, and Jin Chengwu took over the role of Cao Cao.

Zhou Yunfa and Wu Yusen have known each other for many years, and the two who were in the same trough hit it off and collaborated together on "The True Colors of Heroes", and finally this movie was a great success, helping their careers to a higher level, and then made "The True Colors of Heroes 2", "Bloody Heroes", "Across the Seas" and many other acclaimed and acclaimed classic movies, under the mutual achievement, one became a famous director, and the other became an actor.

"Red Cliff" is the reunion of these old friends after 15 years, both of them are very excited, gearing up, ready to do it again, what is unexpected is that the change is abrupt.

It is rumored that Zhou Yunfa proposed a salary that exceeded that of "The City Full of Golden Armor", and asked for a one-time payment before the start of filming, and there were nearly 100 conditions for violating the rules of the industry like this.

Coincidentally, Zhang Yimou was also stabbed in the back by him, during the filming of Golden Armor, he asked the crew to prepare seven different rooms for him to eat, make-up and rest, and also asked to equip him with an RV with a daily rent of up to 5,000 yuan for going to the toilet, and started a scolding war with producer Zhang Weiping.

And after giving up "Red Cliff", he went directly to Hollywood to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World".

At this point, the perfect image that Zhou Yunfa has created for many years has collapsed.

On the plane to Xiangjiang, Lu Bu read a few newspapers and magazines, shook his head and sighed: "It's not easy for Wu Yusen's "Red Cliff" to be started. ”

Zeng Wei next to him commented: "The casting controversy has put too much pressure on the director and actors. ”

Lu Bu thought of his movie and said, "When the time comes, let's do a survey or vote first to see how everyone reacts." ”

Zeng Yan pondered for a moment and said, "You can't listen to the audience, their subjectivity is too strong." ”

Lu Bu nodded and said, "I know this, it's just used as a reference." ”

At this time, the voice of the flight attendant came: "Dear passengers and friends, we have arrived at the destination safely, and the plane will need to taxi to the designated parking stand, in order to ensure your personal safety......"

The two of them made this trip to attend the 26th Academy Awards ceremony held at the Grand Theater of the Hong Kong Cultural Center on the 15th.
