Chapter 435: Casting (Part I) (2/5)
Mengxi Company immediately issued a statement about the salary.
There is no way, "inflation" spreads to the film and television industry, and we have to stabilize the morale of the military!
No, what qualifications do you say Zhang Baizhi is to get 15 million?
With "Speed Angel", "Priceless Treasure", "Yang Men Female General's Military Order Like a Mountain", "Hedong Lion's Roar 2" and "Shadow Lover" five consecutive pounces?
Even Zhou Libo, who occasionally made cameos, his salary rose from 800,000 yuan to 800,000 US dollars.
Our circle is so good at making money?
Mengxi Company directly took out Leorun's shares!
and disclosed the salary income of Zhang Hanyun and Lin Gengxin of "My Girlhood".
The basic salary of both of them is 600,000 yuan, and they each were rewarded with 13 million yuan in the follow-up...
At the same time, the profitability of "My Girlhood" was exposed: the box office in the mainland was 130 million, and the profit was 110 million after deducting costs;
network copyright, audio and video copyright, and TV copyright plus one piece of 16 million were recorded in the account;
Overseas revenue: $22 million;
Government Reward: $2 million...
The total profit is 290 million yuan!
ββThe crew's dividend is 43.5 million, with Zhang Hanyun and Lin Gengxin as the leading actors, each earning 13 million!
The terms and conditions are clearly listed, specific to the distribution rights of each country...
Finally, there is another sentence: Mengxi company produces film and television projects, and will never sacrifice the production level because of the salary, we promise that the salary of a movie, the actor's salary only accounts for less than 30% of the production cost, if you are confident in your appeal, then please sign a profit sharing contract!
What is this behavior called?
Brighten your muscles!
And it's to brighten up the muscles before the company is about to go public!
Dream Creek has confidence, and they are confident in the projects they make.
And, at the end of the year, they will start a new wave of signings...
......
"So, if I sign a basic salary of 1 million now, I can get 8% of the profit share?"
β... Yes, up to 12%, but you have to be clear that the cost + publicity of "Shark Beach" is at least 50 million, and the Chinese and American versions were released at the same time, which also means that it is difficult for the Chinese version to sell the copyright again.
Yang Xiaomi looked at the contract carefully and asked, "So, the return of this drama will cost at least 150 million at the box office?"
The producer in charge of "Shark Beach" is Li Yiping, she said honestly: "That's not it, the box office exceeds 100 million, and we can basically recover the cost, but we don't know much about the market space of this kind of thriller..."
"Do you mean to give it a fight?"
"The probability of recovering the cost is still very high!"
After thinking about it, Li Yiping added: "And if it is a hit, the remake rights of "Shark Beach" should be able to be sold to many countries, and this part of the income is counted in the overall project of "Shark Beach", and it is also regarded as a project dividend!"
"Okay, I signed..."
Yang Xiaomi signed her name on the actor's contract, and then glanced at Li Yiping: "Sister Ping, how about the overseas copyright of "33 Days"?"
"It's a little difficult, after all, "33 Days" is too Chinese and very sold, so far, only the copyrights of South Korea, Vietnam, Singapore, Thailand, and Malaysia have been sold, and the Japanese benzene side is still considering whether to introduce it... However, this film was selected for the list of national gifts for Latin American trips, including "Painted Skin" and "My Girlhood", which will be presented to Latin American countries, and in addition, it was also selected for the Haitui Film Festival..."
"What about it?"
"This has to wait for the small method of account sharing, and we will reissue it after the statistics are over..."
"Oh well..."
Actually, what Yang Xiaomi cares about is not how much she can earn in "33 Days of Broken Love", but... can't earn less than Zhang Hanyun!
Compared with Zhang Hanyun, Yang Xiaomi's performance in "33 Days of Broken Love" is even more amazing, many people are buying tickets for her, of course, King Kaikai's performance is also good...
But the most important thing in chick movies is chicks!
Therefore, in addition to the terms, Yang Xiaomi's personal dividend ratio is 8-12%...
Tiered dividends, recovering costs, she can get 8%, the box office is more than 200 million, that is, 12%, and now it has exceeded 200 million, and she is about to run 300 million...
After the contract was signed, Li Yiping turned around and wanted to leave, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, your Golden Eagle Goddess has already won, and "33 Days of Broken Love" has signed up for the Golden Horse Awards, maybe you can nominate for Best Actress!"
"Really?"
β... Of course. β
A series of surprises, Yang Xiaomi couldn't help grinning...
It's not over: "The day after tomorrow, you leave for the United States, and "Source Code" is going to have an audition... Dream Creek is with you!"
β... Stay with me?"
"Well, he's also going to the United States to shoot Leonardo's new film..."
"Just the two of us?"
"That's not it, Liu Shishi, Tang Yan, and Tong Yali also arranged auditions for "Resident Evil", "Unidentified" and "Super 8"..."
"Resident Evil?"
"Hollywood wants to open up the Chinese market and invite Chinese actors to participate..."
Yang Xiaomi's entanglement is not this: "Why can't I go to the audition?"
β... If the road of Sino-US co-production is opened, you are the absolute hero of our company, Mengxi said, 'It's not a big deal to appear in Hollywood movies, as the Chinese market gets bigger and bigger, Hollywood will often add Chinese actors in the future'..."
What do you mean by nothing remarkable?
That's Hollywood!
Seeing that she didn't seem to believe it, Li Yiping's tone became serious: "Hollywood doesn't pay attention to Asian actors, and the reason why they come to us is just to please the Chinese audience. β
"The reason why Mengxi agreed to arrange auditions is just for everyone to go out and see and understand the production process of Hollywood!"
"When Chinese films go global, they need to learn from Hollywood, rather than accept them all..."
......
It's true, with the rise of the Chinese market, Hollywood producers are desperate to find a way to open up the Chinese market.
What is the most commonly used method?
Gasa actors!
The gasai they chose is a simple gasai, for example, Yang Tianbao is a prop in "Independence Day 2"...
In later generations, a bunch of actors wanted to enter Hollywood, and they also hyped up a supporting role...
This is strange, because as the market matures, the Chinese market is becoming more and more independent of its own personality - the "Warcraft" movie, which is not loved by Americans, has sold well in the mainland, and the "Finding Nemo 2", which is loved by Americans, has made mediocre profits in the mainland.
The growth of the market has brought many benefits, and Chinese audiences have become increasingly supportive of domestic films.
But the actors still seem to be tirelessly trying to make American films, and this obsession is sometimes inexplicable.
In the past, becoming a Hollywood actor was probably a stage for actors to go further.
Hollywood is placed in such a supreme position that a soy sauce in it can be a sign of some kind of entry into the world and going international.
It's really unnecessary!
China's top actors no longer need to go to Hollywood to prove themselves.
There is a sentence that sums it up very well: the fool watches popcorn, the people who eat melons watch the special effects, the fan girl looks at the pectoral mermaid line, the second forced youth looks at the long-legged big **, the second middle school youth watches the dramatic crude political jokes, the black man gives a shot, and the yellow man pulls an overseas box office, which adds up to the mainstream Hollywood blockbuster!
