"Boss, do you still want to go to the launch conference of "Wuxin Mage"?"
Yuan Hua pondered for a while and said: "Forget it, I'd better not go!
After all, our company is no longer what it used to be, sooner or later we have to learn to walk independently, and I can't go to the platform to help promote every drama that starts"
It wasn't a problem for Yuan Hua to do this before, because at that time Huazhang Film and Television was really not well-known, and he needed to use his own influence to divert people, which is understandable.
But now that Huazhang Film and Television has gradually gained a foothold, if Yuan Hua, a person behind the scenes, always goes to the front of the stage to grab the limelight, it will inevitably be criticized
And doing so is not good for the development of the company, and it is easy to develop a dependent mentality
If every time a new drama or movie starts, the boss has to go to the front of the stage to yell and publicize it, so he won't be tired to death?
"OK."
Fang Jing nodded obediently, indicating that she knew.
"By the way, the drama "So You" is estimated to be finished in two or three days. How did "Tang Detective" arrange it?"
The little assistant immediately replied: "At present, I have been notified that a launch conference will be held at the Yanjing Wanda Building on July 2, and then we will fly to Thailand the next day. The filming is expected to take 50 to 60 days, and the filming may be officially completed in late August. .¡±
The reason why the shooting time of this drama is relatively short is because the preparation period is very long, and we have made sufficient preparations. In order to shoot this work, Chen Sicheng led the team to prepare for several years.
"Is the visa all done?"
The little assistant nodded and said, "Please rest assured, the preparations have already been made!"
? Yuan Hua nodded slightly, and began to think in his heart, "Tang Detective" was filmed until the end of August and returned to China, and then "The Unknown" was officially launched at the end of August¡ª¡ª
It just so happens that "Charlotte" will be released on September 30th. At this time, "The Unknown Man" has been in production for a month. It is estimated that Shen Teng should have finished filming, so there is no need to consider the issue of whether to increase the film salary for others, perfect!
Liu Haoran played the role of Qin Feng in his previous life. It is said that the first part only charged 10,000 yuan, which is basically equivalent to a symbolic consolation prize.
The main reason is that he was not well-known at the time, and to him being able to play the leading role in such a big production that exceeded 100 million yuan was like a pie in the sky.
It would be nice not to let him post money, but also to give him some money to show off. The main reason is that the producer considers that if it doesn't take away any money, it may not sound good if it is spread.
But now that it is replaced by Yuan Hua, it is definitely not enough to spend 10,000 yuan! After all, the popularity and box office appeal of the two are completely incomparable.
In fact, when choosing actors for such a big-budget movie, salary is often not the first priority. Fame and box office appeal are the most important things.
The crew would rather spend 30 million yuan to invite Huang Bo and Xu Zheng, not to mention that you don't want money, even if you pay a lot of money, you may only be able to play the second role, and the protagonist is still not willing to agree.
After all, now Yuan Hua has initially proved his box office appeal, and his popularity is no longer empty!
The last movie "Left Ear", which was single-handed by Yuan Hua, has just been drawn, and the final box office is 620 million, with a score of 6.5 on Douban.
The total box office ranks second in the youth film rankings, second only to "To Youth" with 720 million.
And don't look at the Douban score of 6.5, which doesn't seem to be high, but the scores of youth films have generally been low in the past two years, and there are only a handful of them that can exceed 6 points.
Douban's youth films with higher scores than this movie currently only have "Those Years" with 8.1 and "To Youth" with 6.6.
Therefore, it can be said that this film is well received and well received, especially the leading actor Yuan Hua's acting skills have been well received, and the faces of all the people who looked down on him before the film was released were swollen, and the commercial value has skyrocketed
Recently, Yuan Hua didn't know how many film offers he had rejected. Even after the popularity subsided, he could still receive more than five film offers every week, but there were very few of them that he really liked, so he basically regarded them as having no schedule. By rejecting
In fact, Yuan Hua received the role of Qin Feng with 0 salary, because he signed a box office share contract, and the 20 million film salary was converted into shares, and he could get 10% of the box office share.
In fact, Yuan Hua himself doesn't really believe that the total investment of this film is 200 million, but 150 million should be no problem
The key point is that Wanda has single-handedly handled the production, publicity and distribution of this film to the theaters. To be honest, the cost is basically a matter of a word from others. Anyway, he has no way to check the bottom line
Although he signed a sharing contract, in fact Yuan Hua would rather get paid, because the box office of "Tang Detective 1"?? Not particularly explosive, the final box office was 823 million.
If the account is divided according to the box office, the film studio can divide about 300 million yuan, which means that Yuan Hua can get almost 30 million yuan.
But in fact, his current film salary is basically in the early 20 million, and the 30 million share has to wait until the film is released, and then it will take a year and a half to get it at the earliest.
However, if it is a normal film remuneration contract signed, then there is no need to wait for the movie to be released before drawing, and the film will be credited almost immediately after the film is completed!
It is equivalent to saying that Yuan Hua has to wait for more than a year for the extra 10 million yuan, which is really not worthwhile.
If you can get the 20 million yuan earlier, whether it is used for investment or to produce film and television dramas, the income may be far more than 10 million yuan a year later.
By the way, Wang Baoqiang, the other leading actor in this movie, signed a share contract, but he still got a few million basic salary, plus a small part of the box office share, not like Yuan Hua's pure share.
If you want Wang Baoqiang to sign a pure share contract like Yuan Hua, they will definitely ignore you.
Although people say that they are very confident in this project and their old friend Chen Sicheng, who can say that the box office is accurate! Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang all missed, let alone Chen Sicheng?
After all, Chen Sicheng's previous film works only have one film adaptation of a hit drama of the same name, but this achievement is actually not countable.
After all, those movies adapted from hit dramas or popular cartoons can easily sell hundreds of millions at the box office For example, last year's big movie "Where Are We Going, Dad" sold 700 million! Does it prove Yue Lun's director level?
In case "Tang Detective" fails at the box office after it is released, at least people still have a few million basic salary to guarantee the bottom line, so it won't be a waste of money.
But Yuan Hua is not stupid. The reason why he is willing to make concessions and sign a pure sharing contract is mainly to advance as a retreat, because the contract he signed with the crew has also been patched¡ª¡ª
If there is a sequel to this movie in the future, each movie must sell no less than 10% of the investment share to Huazhang Film and Television.
Unless the two parties reach an agreement, the role of Qin Feng in the sequel movie cannot be changed casually. Of course, the corresponding Yuan Hua cannot stop acting casually.
At the same time, under the premise of the basic salary, the box office share of the second film Yuan Hua should not be lower than 8%, and the box office share of the third film should not be lower than 12%
? It is equivalent to saying that this is a trilogy contract. In fact, this kind of actor contract is quite common in the industry, but most movies are rushed at the first one, and then naturally there will be no sequels
After all, if a certain movie is successful, the producer will not change the leading role casually unless the leading role is too expensive to make a sequel
The reason why the two parties were able to quickly reach an agreement to sign this contract was not only because Yuan Hua had this intention¡ª¡ª
Wanda¡¯s intentions are also very strong. They are also afraid that if the first part of ¡°Tang Detective¡± sells well at the box office, Yuan Hua¡¯s salary will rise too fast for the second and third parts, and they will also be in a dilemma.
Let's change people, and I'm afraid that the fans will resist, and then the box office will hit the street and lose money; if we don't change people, the Lions really can't bear it.
Therefore, the signing of this contract is actually a bit of a concubine's love, which means hit it off, so the negotiation is also very smooth.
