"Hello, I'm Yang Siwei, Yuan Hua, did you just arrive in Yanjing today? Are you tired? Otherwise, let's rest in the hotel for a day, and we'll talk about the script tomorrow"
Yuan Hua stood up and shook hands with her, then waved and said:
"Sister Siwei, I'm not tired at all. I've heard that you are a vigorous and decisive person. It just so happens that I am not a slow-witted person. Let's stop being polite and start talking about business directly!"
Although the middle-aged woman with glasses was very polite, Yuan Hua did not dare to neglect her at all.
Don't look at this chubby woman who looks ugly, but she is very well-known in the entertainment industry, and she is called a "big name pusher".
In the previous life, he represented Fan Bingbing, Ma Yili, Lu Han, Zhang Yuqi, Zhao Youting, Zhang Yixing and many other big-name economic contracts
Although Fan Bingbing said that he became cold later, at least he was the number one person who could be nominated as the first lady of domestic entertainment in his peak period!
As the director of operations of Fan Bingbing Studio, Yang Siwei has contributed a lot.
In addition, this person is also the co-founder and current CEO of Yixin Entertainment, and can also be said to be Yuan Hua's new boss.
Of course, the fact that a dignified CEO came to ask about his health in person also shows how much Yixin Entertainment attaches importance to Yuan Hua.
Of course, there is no reason for the company not to take it seriously, after all, there is already a model first
? Yuan Hua's senior, Sir Wu has not only received various notices since he returned to China, but also officially announced his first movie starring him - "There is a place only we know" within a few days.
This small-budget romantic film with low investment, without any big-name franchise, starring Wu Yifan + director Xu Cai, finally made a box office hit of 280 million in one fell swoop, so the investors must have made a profit!
Wu Sir's acting skills are well understood, after all, many people have heard of them - what do you owe me here?
But even so, among the four films starring Wu Sir, the lowest-grossing "Xia You Qiao Mu Ya Wang Paradise" has a box office of 156 million.
In addition to the 337 million of "So You're Still Here" and the 1.6 billion of "Journey to the West", the total box office is 2.4 billion, ranking first among post-90s artists, far ahead of others.
Even if the misnamed "Volunteer Demon Chapter" is forcibly removed, the other three films will have a combined box office of almost 800 million, which shows that some traffic artists really buy it!
Generally speaking, it shouldn't be a big problem for a top player like Wu Lu to support a box office of 100 to 200 million in their peak period. After all, "Zhu Xian", which has a box office of 400 million in Douban 4.4, has a box office of 400 million!
Therefore, as long as the investment is not too large, if you find top-tier artists, you will definitely not lose money
Looking at it from this point of view, in fact, the salary of a drama is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, and it is not entirely price gouging
Yang Siwei also had a good first impression of Yuan Hua. After all, some people are so successful at a young age, it is inevitable that they will be a little arrogant.
Although Yuan Hua has a good reputation and has never heard of any bad deeds in the market, many artists are packaged, the same as the former, and the same as the latter. This kind of person Yang Siwei has long been seen.
Originally thought that this kind of traffic king would be difficult to deal with, but from the first impression, it is still stable.
In fact, ever since Wu Yifan took the lead to return to China and broke Pandora's box, seeing that Fanfan's market was so good, the domestic entertainment companies began to woo and lobby the remaining members of EXO Huaguo, especially the competition for Yuan Hua and Lu Han was the fiercest ¡
Giants in the film industry such as Huayi, Guangguang, and Bona have all cast olive branches on Yuan Hua and the others. Originally, it was not an advantage to be in the middle of entertainment. After all, the company was just established at the beginning of the year, and it has just entered the right track. no background
But I didn't expect that Yuan Hua rejected all the invitations from big companies, and finally appointed Xinxin Entertainment, which can be said to be a surprise for Yang Siwei.
It's not that Yuan Hua has never thought about signing a big company, but there are many big companies, and the internal strife is very serious. If you are not careful, you will get involved in it
In addition, it has been 14 years now. To be honest, the trend of the entertainment industry in the past two years is that basically famous artists have set up their own houses, and various personal studios have sprung up like mushrooms
The more popular way of playing in the past two years is-the artist's contract expires and the individual establishes a studio, and then the company acquires the related company at a premium and signs a gambling agreement. This is a win-win situation, which means that the company wins twice.
These days, entertainment companies have also been severely eroded by capital. To be honest, the support for artists has long been less obvious than in the past.
? Large companies may not work, capital is the real father, so there is no needBe overly obsessed with big corporations.
Another advantage of signing a contract with Yang Siwei is that he can smoothly enter the most influential circle in the entertainment circle - the Beijing circle.
Because Yang Siwei studied under Wang Jinhua, the number one agent in the Mainland, and belongs to the line of the Beijing circle with roots in Miaohong, this is a good opportunity.
Although the momentum in the Beijing circle has not been as good as before in recent years, the lean camels are bigger than the horses. These people still have an extraordinary status in the entertainment industry, and their influence cannot be underestimated
Moreover, the boat is so small that it is easy to turn around and sign a small company. If something goes wrong with the cooperation, it can be broken up; if you sign a big company, it will be very difficult to get out
Yuan Hua cut to the chase: "Well, let's put the rest aside first. Is there any movie project looking for me recently?"
Yang Siwei took out a stack of folders from his bag and handed it over, saying:
"That's too much, and there are even people who directly offer 30 million yuan, wanting to get your first movie invitation."
Don't think that 30 million doesn't sound like a lot. In fact, it is reported on the Internet that the salary of Lu and Wu and others is more than 100 million. In fact, that refers to the salary of TV series. In the early days, the salary of their movies was about 20 million.
Of course, this refers specifically to the two years of 14-15 years. Later, with the further prosperity of the domestic film and television industry, the salary will naturally rise every year.
Don't think that Princess Shuang's 160 million sky-high salary later, just take it for granted that traffic artists could get such a high quotation six or seven years ago. After all, there is a word called - this time and that time.
As we all know, the bubble degree of TV drama remuneration is much higher than that of the film industry.
It is rare to hear that domestic films have sky-high remunerations. For celebrities, movies are used to endorse endorsements, while TV dramas and variety shows directly earn real money.
In fact, if you think about it, you will understand, because there is a very simple reason, generally speaking, the box office of a movie must exceed the production cost by at least three times, in order for the film studio to barely make a profit.
For example, if the film studio pays Xiao Xianrou 100 million yuan, how much does the film cost?
The General Administration once issued an "Opinion", requiring that the remuneration should not exceed 40% of the production cost.
Generally speaking, the lead actor's remuneration should not exceed 70% of the total remuneration.
But let's take it to the extreme, assuming that 40% is all given to the little fresh meat, and then the production cost is estimated to be about 250 million based on the male lead's 100 million salary.
That is to say, the film must have at least 750 million box office before the producer can barely recover the cost.
But if you carefully compare the box office of Lu, Wu and others, the fan contribution may only be about 200 million, and it is almost impossible to exceed 300 million. If the film salary is really over 100 million, isn't this movie an iron loss?
So at the moment, it is normal for Yuan Hua to quote about 10 million yuan for his movie.
If you consider the gimmick of the first personal movie, fans may pay more attention to this, and if it is appropriate to increase it a bit, 12 million is barely justified.
But if you directly report 30 million, that is purely a premium!
Why do traffic artists have sky-high remuneration? Zhang Guoshi has already made it very clear.
Traffic stars also get paid for watching scripts and directors. To put it bluntly, they also watch dishes.
Zhang Yimou, Feng Xiaogang, or Ning Hao want to play the main role of the top-tier, and the top-tier can even rush to go without salary
Ordinary directors, but with particularly good scripts or huge investments, such as scripts such as "Let the Bullets Fly" and "I'm Not the God of Medicine", or "The Great Wall" and "King of Kung Fu" such top-level productions with hundreds of millions of dollars, top-tier I will also act with a basic salary
But if the director has no name, the script is not good, and the investment is not big, and you just look for a top-tier movie just to make money, then the top-tier movie must have a high salary!
The film studio made it clear that in order to use my traffic to make money, they didn't ask for a high film salary. Isn't that top streamer a fool?
So this thing is that Zhou Yu beats Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. There is really nothing to say
But the so-called teacher is impermanent, there must be evildoers.
Like this kind of exaggerated premium invitation, it should be that the so-called director, script and investment are all very average, and it is obvious that they are here to find money from the small traffic circle
Yuan Hua would never glance at this kind of movie invitation. Although he is very short of money, this kind of bad money is just right. "Slow water and long flow" is the kingly way.
Especially traffic artists must pay attention to the quality of each of their works, especially the box office and ratings.
It doesn't matter even if the score is a little low, the most is to be scolded by others, anyway, traffic artists themselves are recruited, so there is no need to care too much about this.
But if the box office smashes, you won't be looking for serious film projects in the future!
? You see, the box office of "Volunteering the Demon" was not as good as expected, did Wu Yifan become a variety show star from then on?
Lu Han screwed up "Shanghai Fortress", will the resources be cut off immediately, and slowly he can only act in TV dramas?
The lessons learned from the past are not far away. Yuan Hua is very aware of how much he has, and his acting skills can be regarded as the best among the young fresh meat.
At least this is not something that he should consider in the early stages of his career. At the current stage, his goal is to try his best to participate in some movies and TV dramas with high box office or high ratings.
Even if someone scolds the box office, at least it is better than being ridiculed for not having a work??If the box office is a smash, after that, serious movie projects will never look for you again!
