Chapter 434: Preparing for a Rainy Day (1/5)

Mengxi Company generally pays actors at the market price.

For example, Hu Ge, after the rumors, his movie salary is 2 million!

is already very high, belonging to the first tier of the new generation of mainland actors, and the film salary of Xiao Ming and Deng Chao in the same period is 200300000...

Yang Xiaomi is the same, she has been out of love for 33 days, her salary is 800,000, and the little fox and the demon hunter have a salary of 2.2 million, which is mainly the money given by the Japanese benzene tablets;

Shark Beach, tripled, 2.4 million!

It's very high!

And the Sino-US co-production is a high-quality thing in this year.

Blow it out, it's called going international!

What Houston pheasant awards, you guys know the, do you know where Houston is?

The problem is also here, the coal boss has entered the film and television industry, and the horse is really rich!

It hurts.

Huayi is listed, has money, and is willing to spend money, but what people are smashing is the production funds.

Those coal bosses are different, they only recognize familiar stars, popular actors...

There are no rules at all!

Blind Ji Ba gives money...

Of course, you have to jump out and take a look: the box office is almost 10 billion, and the first-line stars have to be paid more than 10 million to be proportional, isn't it?

The problem is that Yang Xiaomi is not a first-line star, and she has just become popular...

The price is more than 5 million!

Yang Xiaomi is still very smart, she knows the value of the project in hand, and it is impossible to give up the shark beach or the source code...

Of course, once or twice is no problem, Mengxi's project is obviously more reliable than the outside world, but if there are more times, or the outside project is also good, then what should I do?

It's very likely to happen!

Also, there are many unreliable projects, and the artists themselves don't want to take them, so they asked the agent to offer a sky-high price, and then the producer actually agreed...

That... There is money to earn, but if you don't make money, you don't earn in vain!

This is how the remuneration of the traffic in later generations is brought up, and the external quotation is not equal to the real salary.

......

Company, Shen Mengxi leaned back in his chair and listened to Song Hang's report on the progress of the National Day file...

The current time is October 4th, the fourth day of the official opening of the National Day file.

After 33 days of broken love, he won 42 million box office in the first three days, successfully surpassing the Tongtian Empire...

"I'll just say that 33 days of broken love can definitely surpass the Tongtian Empire!"

“... Our cumulative box office has reached 220 million. ”

"Chick movies have a lot of promise, have you seen the audience's gender index?"

"Women account for 56 percent of moviegoers..."

"Yes!" Shen Mengxi then added: "In the past, major Hollywood film companies would make several chick movies every year, and they would be released on Valentine's Day, Christmas, and New Year. ”

"You're like Julia Roberts, Cameron Diaz, Rachel McAdams all came out of chick movies..."

"But in recent years, this kind of theme has not been very popular..."

Song Hang: "Then can we buy the rights to a few Hollywood remakes?"

“... It's unlikely, didn't Bona buy a man 100%, found Gong Li, Andy Lau, romantic dramas, and a huge loss!"

"Why?"

"The cultural background is here, last year's Hollywood's highest-grossing chick movie fake marriage, cost 30 million US dollars, and the global hit was close to 400 million US dollars, do you try to transplant it to China?"

"Fake marriage, I know, Sandra Bullock starring, it seems to be because of immigration nationality or something..."Song Hang suddenly came to feel: "Mr. Shen, what do you say will happen if we make a fake divorce?"

"Fake divorce?"

"For the house!"

Shen Mengxi pondered for a moment and shook his head: "This theme is difficult to sell, a fake divorce becomes a real divorce, it doesn't make any sense..."

Song Hang nodded...

Shen Mengxi thought of something and said, "I heard that the crew outside asked our actors to offer twice the market price?"

Song Hang immediately became energetic: "It's not just twice as much, there is a crew called Swordsman Love, and it is proposed to pack Hu Geyang Xiaomi for 30 million!"

Shen Mengxi was a little puzzled: "Swordsman Love, isn't that a game?"

"That's right, the game adaptation of the TV series!"

“... Zhen Nyima is crazy, 30 million, our Immortal Sword Three spent less than 50 million, right?"

"Yes, you think the special effects are too simple, so you deliberately asked the production department to allocate an extra 10 million. ”

Shen Mengxi thought thoughtfully: "... The salary has risen so terrifying..."

Song Hang: "No way, after the promulgation of the film guidelines, hot money will definitely rush into the film and television market, they will definitely use familiar faces, and the actors' salaries will only get higher and higher." ”

In fact, the phenomenon of high salaries for star actors is really produced after the influx of hot money, when Zhou Xun and Lu Yi each won the Golden Eagle Award for Daming Palace Words and Never Look Away, the prize was a Japanese car, which made them very excited...

Right now?

Probably only when the drug is successfully developed to return to youth will they be excited...

"This is not a way, we can't stop people from making money!"

Song Hang is very confident: "... Our projects are of much higher quality than the ones outside, and the actors know how to make trade-offs!"

Shen Mengxi shook his head: "No matter how you know how to choose, when the price difference is too big, you will still complain in your heart..."

"You mean we're going to raise our salaries too?"

“... No, once the salary of movies and TV series exceeds 50, then the drama will not be able to be watched!"

After thinking about it, Shen Mengxi said: "In this way, the TV series can give the investment ratio of 1020 to the main actors, and the movie can give a profit share... However, the salary must be controlled within a reasonable range!"

"Profit share?"

"Just like when I was a girl, we gave 15 of the proceeds to reward the crew, but it was written in the contract!"

"Okay, I see... This thing has to be divided into themes, right?"

"Definitely, like chick movies, comedies, and action movies, the audience buys tickets just to see those actors, don't you give high salaries?"

"I understand, a famous director is also counted..."

"Yes, that's what it means, you go to Zhao Jinsong and Li Yiping, discuss it with them, and then have a meeting with the company's production team, and almost make a statement!"

......

Regarding the high salary of actors, Hollywood has long solved it!

Film investment itself is a high-risk thing, whether the movie script will have the audience's appetite, and whether the film technology can present an effect that satisfies everyone, who can guarantee this thing?

The existence of the star makes everything else unimportant, and when the audience's attention is attracted to the star himself, it means that the risk of film investment can be greatly reduced!

In the nineties, there was a saying in Hollywood: when you don't know who to turn to, it is recommended that you take money and go to Tom Cruise!

Liangtang is really the peak of traffic!

A simple example: in 93, surrounded by strong enemies such as Jurassic Park, The Outlaw, Sleepless in Seattle, and Schindler's List, which is regarded as the benchmark by movie fans, Liang Tang grabbed nearly $160 million at the box office in the mouths of these behemoths with a lawyer suspense film with a fascinating plot, Sugar-Coated Trap, ranking fourth in North America of the year!

Later, in order to curb high salaries, Hollywood studios proposed a sharing system...

Shen Mengxi was more direct and directly quoted the practice of Bren House:

The cast and directors of the Project Human Erasure series are paid only a few thousand dollars a week, which helps keep production costs down.

In exchange, they receive a cut of the movie's box office.

Let's say Human Erasure Plan 3, which grossed $140 million worldwide and $92 million in North America, cost $11 million, and earned more than $60 million.

Bren House gave 20 profits as a sharing bonus, which was awarded to the entire crew, how to distribute it, how many directors, how many actors, depending on the contract signed at the beginning.
