Chapter 86 I Really Don't Care About the Box Office (2/4)
The main creative team of "The Treasure Hunt" earned more than 50 million...
Huang Bo's salary is 12 million. At this stage, as long as Huang Bo is not starring in comedy, his salary is basically around 10 million.
Chen Daoming, 8 million, Jin Chen, 2 million, Qiao Shan, 2 million, Yu Nan, 3 million;
In South Korea, Jun Ji-hyun's salary is 500 million won, Lee Jung-jae is 800 million won, and Kim Soo-hyun is 200 million won...
It seems like a lot, but converted into RMB plus one yuan, it’s less than 8 million!
Well, the bulk of it is Shen Changlin's director's base fee of 15 million and screenwriter's fee of 8 million...
What's wrong, he directs a movie, can't he charge a fee?
divided into?
Of course there is a share. If the box office exceeds 1 billion, he can share 18% of the profit.
23 million is the basic cost!
Think it’s expensive?
If you think it’s expensive, you can decide not to invest!
23 million seems expensive, but Xiaoxianrou, with a stream of several hundred million, doesn’t feel expensive?
In a few years, well, next year to be exact, stars' salaries will skyrocket like a heifer on the wire, like a lightning bolt.
Of course, at this stage, a group of people will definitely do something after taking the money!
On the day Shen Changlin returned to the capital, he filmed intermittently from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m.
When Shen Changlin shouted "pass", the whole crew was really exhausted and had no energy...
"Okay, let's go back and rest!"
…
Studio shooting is not difficult, but quite tedious!
Before the official shooting of "The Treasure Hunt" begins, the pre-shooting of the shots has been completed, so that 800 visual effects personnel can be arranged in an orderly manner to complete these shots step by step.
The entire film should have more than 600 visual effects shots, and it is not relatively simple, it is very complex, and many of them are fully CG.
Therefore, a lot of preliminary preparation is required. If you want to complete it in a short time, you must know exactly how many shots there are.
Of course, compared to the 1,800 visual effects shots of "The Thieves", "The Treasure Hunters" has very few!
I talked about work with Han Qiming along the way, and it was already past midnight when I arrived at the hotel!
After the filming ended, Shen Changlin did not go home.
No one is at home, Shi Shi is filming "Golden Lawyer" in Shanghai...
Open the door, rinse briefly, throw yourself directly into the big bed, and prepare to sleep.
Thinking of what Guo Songjiang said in the morning, I clicked on Weibo and took a look. Keywords: pants, "The Thieves"...
Sure enough, many people commented.
Most of them are criticizing pants.
In the past two years, pants have been really unpopular. No matter what I do, I will be scolded.
Of course, it would be nonsense for him to say that "The Band of Thieves" is not a good movie, because he himself said, "A movie that is good to the audience means it is worth it"!
"The Band of Thieves" has a box office of 1.48 billion, exceeding US$300 million worldwide, ranking first in the history of Chinese-language films, with a Douban score of 7.8...
Isn't this good enough?
But no famous big V has joined...
It's quite normal. Pants is a great director, and so is Shen Changlin. Both sides are at odds, and no one is helping!
Shen Changlin posted on Weibo:
'I think some of our directors are quite interesting. When he makes commercial films, he says that the films are just for fun and vulgarity, and your elegance is just pretentious. When he makes serious films, he says that the films should not be too vulgar, but should have Artistic pursuit, criticizing those vulgar and bad movies...it's all right, absolutely!'
Fans commented immediately below: Please say this director’s name loudly;
Needless to say?
In the early morning of the next day, a portal reported the news that Shen Changlin had made a mockery of his pants...
The company originally wanted to suppress it, but felt that if something like this happened when "Dear Child" was released, it might be able to gain a little more attention.
So, I simply stirred up the heat.
Unfortunately, big things are bound to happen in November. First, Evergrande won the championship, and then Wang Lihong and Li Yundi confessed their love. The news about Shen Changlin's innuendo didn't even make the headlines!
Unless Shen Changlin scolds him by name, it will be difficult to steal the halo...
…
Wen Mino was interviewed by "Dear Child":
"Chang Lin first showed me the documentary about Peng Gaofeng's search for his son. There is a kind of story that is unbelievable. You can't write such a story even if you write a novel. Then he told me that he wanted to make a movie about the fight against trafficking."
"At first I thought it was like "Blind Mountain", which was more of a critical genre, but he said that the center of the story was on the Son-finding Alliance..."
"I worked on the script for about half a year. I wrote three versions. I first talked with the editors and directors of CCTV. They have been working with these people for many years. After talking with them, I went to Shenzhen and talked to the director of the welfare home. He also took me with him. Come to his friends... There is an organization called "Baby Come Home", which is the Family Search Alliance. They also keep using Weibo and the Internet to find as many abducted children as possible... and the story naturally took shape."
"Producer Shen doesn't like desperate stories, and neither do I..."
In addition to Wen Muye, Huang Bo, Xu Zheng, Zhang and Tan Zhuo also received exclusive interviews...
These are considered materials and marketing after the movie is released.
At this stage, the publicity focus is mainly on Shen Changlin and several actors.
Because Fumino... who knows who he is?
"When we choose a director, we will look at his works. Although Fumino has no representative feature films, he has made many short films..."
Shen Changlin went to the premiere of "Dear Child". In the car, Weibo Film arranged an exclusive interview...
There is no other way, knowing that he is pressed for time.
"I have thought about shooting it myself because of the subject matter and the story. I am very interested in it, but after meeting Fumino, I think he is more suitable..."
"His style is suitable for this type of movie. His style has a certain amount of humor, but the discussion is relatively serious and the story is conveyed relatively warmly. I can't do that. If I make this kind of movie, there is a high probability that it will be very cruel. The situation…”
"And I was preparing for "The Thieves" at that time, so I handed over this project to Fumino..."
"I didn't do anything. I just helped him decide on the script and recommended a few actors. Of course, he made the decision himself!"
The editor of Weibo Film asked: "Do you know that many people say that you are the Bole of Chinese movies?"
"It's too exaggerated. Even Director Han dare not say that!"
“But you did unearth a bunch of new directors!”
"This is how I feel. As a filmmaker myself, I still like to work with talented people. When I see talented directors who are willing to create together, it is not so much that I give them opportunities, but that they are willing to give them opportunities. I have a chance!"
"So, do you have any box office expectations for "Dear Child" this time?"
"I really don't care about box office or anything like that..."
Chapter completed!
