Is Ning Hao stupid?

Apparently impossible.

It is impossible for a fool to be in the circle for so long, and he has made several good quality films.

Therefore, Ning Hao is not stupid, but smarter than most people, and seeing Chen Zhibin eyeing the role of Cheng Yong, it is obviously a little difficult.

Not to mention that the actor has already been booked by Xu Zheng, who is also one of the producers, it doesn't quite match it in terms of age and image.

"The prototype of Cheng Yong's character is a middle-aged man." Ning Hao said that since Chen Zhibin knows this movie so well, and even knows the names of the characters in the film, he must also know the prototype of the character itself.

"So which role do you think is more suitable for me?" Chen Zhibin asked. He also knew that he didn't fit the character of this character, and the reason why he said that was completely to leave himself a room to decline.

If Chen Zhibin directly asked for the male number two, Ning Hao would also hesitate, maybe he would use a male number three or a less important role to prevaricate him.

But Chen Zhibin wants the male number one, in this case, as long as he agrees to Chen Zhibin's capital into the group, no matter how bad the crew is, he has to give a male number two meaning, otherwise it is indeed a little difficult to take it.

"Cao Bin, the younger brother of Cheng Yong's ex-wife, a conscientious policeman." After Ning Hao thought about it, he finally said a name.

"Male number two?" Chen Zhibin asked after hearing this.

In fact, his first thought was also this role, Lu Yingfu played by Wang Chuanjun and Huang Mao played by Zhang Yu still test the acting skills of actors.

Although Chen Zhibin's acting skills are not bad among the younger generation of actors in the entertainment industry, and can even be said to be very good, they definitely cannot reach the level of explosion.

In addition, the external image is not very consistent, even after putting on makeup, it is still young and handsome that cannot be concealed, so it is still relatively inconsistent.

"Of course." Ning Hao nodded, and said with great certainty: "The character of Cao Bin himself is the second male lead, and the character setting is quite outstanding. ”

Afraid that Chen Zhibin would not agree, Ning Hao even continued to add: "Aren't you still filming The Wandering Earth now, the role of Cao Bin in the film is more important, not to mention, there are not many scenes, so there is no need to worry about the shooting here at all, and the time is just right." ”

Although the start time of "The Wandering Earth" has been advanced, it is not many days away from the filming of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", so even if he gives Chen Zhibin the role of Cheng Yong, he may not have much time to act.

In addition, the age of the characters does not match, so Chen Zhibin plays the male number two Cao Bin, which can be said to be the most suitable choice.

This character has a resolute and upright personality, cold on the outside and hot on the inside, he is the one who plays against the old lady with leukemia in the film, and he is also the one who carries Huang Mao into the hospital.

In the final part of the movie, when Cheng Yong was released from prison, he was the only one who drove to pick him up.

Some people say that in the whole movie, Cao Bin is the one with the most affection, although he is not a member of the "drug selling team" and did not participate in the reselling, but he has never stayed out of it!

At that time, when I was watching "I Am Not the God of Medicine", because of the wonderful and vivid patient performance, everyone thought that Lu Yingying, played by Wang Chuanjun, was the second male lead, but in fact, Zhou Yiwei was in front of him.

After all, Wang Chuanjun starred in TV series before this, and Zhou Yiwei just relied on Ding Xiu's sentences of "very run" and "have to add money" in "Embroidered Spring Knife" two years ago, and successfully exploded out of the circle, which was remembered by many viewers and fans.

There is also a chain of contempt in the film and television industry, star TV series can't watch online dramas, movies can't watch TV series, and theaters can't watch big online movies.

And with Chen Zhibin's current popularity, Xu Zheng, a movie coffee with many masterpieces such as the "People in Embarrassment" series, can be slightly better.

The others are not enough to see at all, not to mention that the role of Cao Bin is the second male in itself, even if it is not, because his appearance will be upgraded to the second male lead.

In addition to the protagonist, which role has a high position is completely determined by the fame of the actor who plays this character, even if there are fewer scenes, no matter how bad it is, you have to hang a special appearance and friendship starring.

The most direct is "The Wandering Earth", because the male and female protagonists are both newcomers to the movie, Wu Jing successfully upgraded from a guest character to a leading actor, and the second part is dedicated to telling his story.

The so-called "The Wandering Earth 2" is actually a prequel to the first part, and there are a flood of bad reviews on the Internet, and the reputation is far inferior to the first part.

As the pioneering work of hard science fiction in the past three decades, if "Stream 1" is called a stunning work, then "Stream 2" is relatively mediocre.

This is not only because of the aesthetic fatigue of fans and audiences, but the most important thing is that the movie has not improved, but has regressed a lot.

The weak plot has always been a common problem of special effects movie blockbusters, I thought it was a patent of the United States, but I didn't expect that domestic films would eventually be able to escape this catastrophe.

"Yes, how much does it cost?" Chen Zhibin asked.

To be honest, he also likes the role of Cao Bin, and the next thing is to talk about the salary.

"Well, it's probably not too high." Ning Hao said with some embarrassment.

The movie "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has a total investment of 70 million yuan, and he came to Chen Zhibin to talk about this matter in order to make up for part of the vacant funds vacated by the withdrawal of other producers, rather than additional investment, and the meaning is still different.

Because it is a realistic movie based on a true story, the producers are looking for powerful actors whose salaries are not too high, and they don't plan to invite any popular spicy chicken to attract popularity and attract fans.

Of course, it's better if you can get it, but a sensitive movie that hasn't even been broadcast, they definitely don't want to take the extra money.

Therefore, it's not that Ning Hao can't give too high, the reality is so.

"It's not high, it's not high, how much can you give, you have to give a rough idea, it can't be a zero pay!" Chen Zhibin asked.

"Probably a few million." Ning Hao said after a while. This is already the highest sincerity he can show for the role of Cao Bin.

Although it is not low, it is indeed not high compared to the entertainment industry with a sky-high salary of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of yuan.

"That's it, I don't want a salary of millions, all of it is used for the promotion and shooting of the movie, and after the movie is released, the box office will exceed one billion yuan, and a leukemia patient relief fund will be established in the name of the crew and my company, and how about donating 10 million yuan to the foundation for every more than 100 million yuan? Isn't that too much to ask? Chen Zhibin asked.

Anyway, with his current net worth and the development prospects of Abin Venture Capital, there is no big impact on more than a few million or a few million.

However, he does want to star in this movie, and it is obviously unrealistic for Ning Hao to tell other producers to continue to invest more, so he simply uses his millions of yuan of salary to change a good reputation in the entertainment industry.

After the movie was released, word of mouth exploded, and the box office rose, and the crew donated two small goals in this name alone.

When the time comes, I will buy a water army and run it casually, and the exposure is his choice for Chen Zhibin to star with his zero salary, so he finally got this condition with the crew, and with the popularity of the movie, it will not be on the hot search in minutes.

Although Chen Zhibin lost millions of salaries on the surface, he did lose millions of salaries behind the scenes.

Of course, money is one thing, reputation is another, many people choose to exchange fame for money, but there are also many people who choose to exchange money for fame.

In the entertainment industry, having a good reputation means that the actor has relatively good loyal fans, which is the so-called popularity.

Although this situation will not be realized immediately, the hidden benefits for Chen Zhibin's next overall acting career are great.

In order to have super popularity and good popularity, I don't know how many top celebrities in the circle spend money to buy announcements, popularity, hot searches, and everything!

Relatively speaking, Chen Zhibin's millions of yuan are less.

I remember that there is a pseudo-popular top, in order to make advertisers and partners believe that he is really popular in the entertainment industry, and even the illusion of "full of voice", he keeps buying hot searches, buying popularity, buying announcements, in short, it is uninterrupted, at least every once in a while, he has to appear in front of the audience.

Hundreds of millions of dollars of income every year, more than half of which is spent on it, and there may not be as much as second-tier artists earn all year round.

Therefore, the entertainment industry is not only a circle, but also a strange circle that makes people lose themselves, but anyone who walks into this circle, no matter which industry leader, will gradually lose themselves in the face of such a high income, so that they can't get out, and they don't want to get out of it.

After all, a person who has earned 10,000 yuan a day easily and glamorously, and you let him rack his brains and work tirelessly to earn 100 yuan, is that possible?

And the drunken entertainment industry not only meets this requirement, but also has a variety of other endless temptations of fame and fortune, prompting batch after batch of people to drill into it one after another.

In the end, less than 1 in 10,000 people can really get into it and make a name for themselves, and the rest of them can only become stepping stones.

"The box office is more than 1 billion, for every 100 million, donate 10 million?" Ning Hao seemed to be a little unconvinced, and repeated what he had just said to confirm.

"yes, isn't that too much to ask?" Chen Zhibin asked.

"Not too much, not too much." Ning Hao hurriedly shook his head and said, "It's not too much at all, it seems that you are quite optimistic about our movie." ”

Chen Zhibin's optimism about this movie was unexpected by Ning Hao, and even he and director Wen Muye may not be so confident.

"Of course, if you don't think about what I'm investing in it for, you can't just take 20 million out to make a noise." Chen Zhibin laughed and teased.

"Not really." Ning Hao hurriedly shook his head, in fact, it is really not certain whether it will be a waste, after all, with the theme of this movie, he can't guarantee that it will be 100% broadcast after filming.

I only see investment, but I don't see returns, not to mention a lot of film and television dramas that are folded in after filming, but there are still a lot of them every year.

Of course, Ning Hao didn't dare to say this kind of thing to Chen Zhibin, after all, he was here to find someone to make up for the missing investment, not to dig out his heart with someone here!

Chen Zhibin also knows this, but he also knows better that this movie can be released in theaters, and the rate of return is not ordinarily high!

Even "The Wandering Earth" with a box office of 4.6 billion and "Wolf Warrior 2" with a box office of 5.4 billion are not as good as his box office of more than 3 billion.

After all, the total investment of the first two movies is often hundreds of millions, the investment is high, the risk is high, and the profit amount is higher.

And the total investment of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is only 70 million yuan, and the return on investment can be said to be a lot of money.

"How? Is this okay? Chen Zhibin asked.

"I think it's definitely okay, but it's not something I can do by myself, I have to discuss it with other producers."

Ning Hao himself must have raised his hands and feet to agree, after all, he not only saves salary, but also can do good things for leukemia patients, and by the way, he also helps their entire crew earn a good reputation, not to say that they are consumer patients.

However, this kind of thing is indeed not something that he can decide alone, so Ning Hao did not dare to reply arrogantly, of course, one thing can be guaranteed, he must be the first choice to stand on Chen Zhibin's side and help him persuade other producers.

In addition, the most important point is that the box office must be more than one billion, and only 10 million yuan needs to be donated for every 100 million yuan added.

Not to mention whether it can reach this data is still unknown, if it does, it may not care about the donation of 10 million yuan.

If it can't be reached, Chen Zhibin personally belongs to the zero salary starring, no matter what aspect it is, it is not a bad thing for the crew!

So, what reason does Ning Hao have not to support.

"Okay, go back and discuss with them first, I'll wait for your news." Chen Zhibin feels that this matter should be relatively easy to explain, after all, this is a story about leukemia patients, which was done by the crew of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" in his previous life, but he donated relatively little in terms of amount.

And now, Chen Zhibin still uses the same routine, but uses the millions of yuan as a medium to transfer all the credit and reputation earned by this donation to himself and the company as much as possible.

According to the box office in the previous life, for every 100 million yuan after exceeding 1 billion, 10 million yuan will be donated, and the amount must be at least 200 million yuan.

If Chen Zhibin can really use his millions of dollars to leverage more than 200 million yuan in donations, it can be regarded as a good deed.

Of course, the amount given by Chen Zhibin is not the final amount, this is still negotiable, after all, it is not as easy as imagined to make the capital donate, even if it is not even the money that has not yet arrived.

"No problem, I'll try to get them through as much as I can." Ning Hao responded, and at the same time praised without hesitation: "Boss Chen's mind can really be said to be a conscientious entrepreneur." ”
