Chapter 187 Remuneration (4/5)

What is a good script?

Using what the American screenwriter syd field said in his playbook: the protagonist must be a plump, three-dimensional, three-dimensional character.

How full, how three-dimensional, how three-dimensional?

In the play, the audience knows this character best, and the playwright must show as much as he can.

This protagonist must not only have the most scenes, but also convey the largest amount of information and drive the largest share of the plot, showing a clear purpose.

This book is called "Basics of Movie Script Writing"...

Let me add that "The Last Biography of Journey to the West" is really a good story. It is a good story about human nature, and it is also true that the Tathagata Buddha is the highest. Unfortunately, the actors and editors have ruined this thing!

In recent years, there have been too few good scripts on the market!

Bo Ge really wants to play some profound roles, but reality forces him to go to the field of comedy...

His requirements for the script: the setting is innovative, the plot is exquisite and tortuous, not asking for many, but it has a little connotation...

"Hunting", all satisfied!

And the director is Zhang Yimou...

In industry terms, such projects are called top works!

As for the mention of Duan Yihong in the email, who is Duan Yihong?

Huang Bo is about to settle this scene, so he hurried to meet Lu Xiaoran. Boss Lu is picky:

"I have to let Lao Tozi agree!"

"…You have to lose twenty kilograms first!"

All agreed, just kneeling down and calling dad...

...

Boge's pay is 8 million, and he received "Hunting" and 2 million...

His original words: Just give some money!

Zhang Yimou's director's salary is 6 million + 15% of the box office dividends...

Of course it's the dividends later...

Orange originally wanted to give him a director's salary of 15 million yuan, but he thought it was too high...

What a kind person!

Compare Sulun...

well!

Su Lun signed a step-by-step share. The cost line of "My Black Dress" is 100 million, and the box office is less than 100 million. She can only get a basic director's salary of 3 million. If she exceeds 100 million, she can get three percent of the box office dividends;

After 200 million, the share ratio will increase to 6%, 300 million is 9%, and 400 million is 12%, which is also the highest share ratio.

In other words, her share ratio for this drama is as high as 15 million!

There is no way, the pay is rising too much now!

Capital breaks the rules.

In the past, investors were even more responsible and pressured after investing money. Now the issuance has become a premium - if you are famous, someone will buy it at a premium, which is the legendary guaranteed issuance!

Since the investment, this film was originally sold for 100 million yuan, but as the film was sold, it turned into 300 million yuan, and when it was sold, it was sold for 600 million yuan.

Directors and producers always feel that they have to make less money, and they also have to pay dividends, invest and participate in shares. Later, film projects became a joint-stock project cooperation.

Such joint-stock project cooperation has led to a movie without any responsible person, and I am busy spending money before the movie is released!

Once a movie becomes a capital game, it will really lose its bottom line...

Oranges are now making the share of money to give the director motivation...

It can also be regarded as a disguised kidnapping.

It is much better to write in black and white than reissue red envelopes later - there are too few red envelopes, and the director still has resentment in his heart!

Orange is now doing projects, and basically signs for all mature directors to divide them in a step-by-step manner.

Guo Fan and the other four had no share - they could only pay for the basic director fee.

The protagonist of the movie "Hunting" was first announced by Lu Xiaoran. Now it's Huang Bo, and Lu Xiaoran explained on Weibo:

"This script has high requirements for performance. Even if I can do it, I have to go to the mountains and forests to experience life for two months. The reality is that I can't afford two months at all. I'm not a pure actor, but I don't want to ruin such a good show as "Hunting" because of my own reasons. I just asked Brother Bo to try it. In addition, I'll just add that: Director Zhang Yimou heard that I'm going to quit the performance, especially Huang Bo replaces me, and his expression is very... very pleasant..."

"Why don't you say that I'm also the Venetian movie star, don't you want to be faced?"

Then someone turned a Weibo post to give him 'The No. 1 brother, the salary is 100 million!'

The content is to accuse Lu Xiaoran of being too high for her film pay and breaking the rules of the entertainment industry...

I do my own drama, direct, write and act, why do I break the rules?

Lu Xiaoran replied seriously:

“Three things:

First: The total pay expenses of "Star You" account for 37% of the total production expenses, which is completely in line with the rules of TV series production."

"Second, I didn't get a penny of the movie. I signed three contracts for director, screenwriter and starring, totaling 20% ​​of the profit share. I will pay taxes according to law when I get the money!"

"Third, "Star You" is broadcast throughout Asia. After "Star You", mainland TV series sales increased by 80% to the outside world, and the price of a single episode has doubled. I dare not say that it is all my credit, at least it has something to do with me!"

"Also, the dramas I acted in are written by myself and invested by my own company! I have used my brain before spreading rumors and have bad industry rules? Thank you, I am Do Minjun, not all the blame!"

...

In fact, ‘too high pay’ has become a topic of discussion during this period!

A Weibo post by Chen Lizhi, president of Matt Culture Media, has caused the phenomenon of sky-high pay to cause constant sighs inside and outside the industry.

‘At the beginning of last year, a female artist had 20,000/episode, but this year it was already 300,000/episode. Last year, a male artist with 150,000/episode, but this year it was 500,000/episode…’

Producer and producer Yan Conghua used "The actor's pay has increased so much that I am about to have a heart attack" to describe the worry of not being able to afford the actors.

Wen Jun reiterated the old story: "Now I want to invite big names to act in movies, I have to give them 8 digits, and 7 digits are not enough. A star has to follow eight assistants behind the set."

Industry insiders all believe that it is caused by the blind influx of hot money in the past two years and the false prosperity of the market.

The most direct impact of the surge in actor fees is to reduce production costs. The investment in the cost of the TV series is pitifully small, which leads to the crowding of TV series themes and shoddy production.

In the drama "Star You", Lu Xiaoran's salary of over 100 million yuan became a topic...

However, public opinion was circulated for a while, and Lu Xiaoran directly clarified it.

In the past, I could just spread rumors, but now I have a Weibo post, so I can clarify it directly!

And with Orange's media control, this news soon passed...

Lu Xiaoran really felt that it was not a high salary to share 100 million. He only received 20% of the profit share...

He does not accept endorsements or helps the brand stand. Of course, he has always maintained a good cooperation with Dior: attending awards ceremony or having some important occasions, he still needs brand sponsorship...

Suddenly I remembered that when the book was first written, he heard that an actress in the future received a pay of 80 million yuan, and licked her face and said, "I'm worth it!"

Do you think he has the same mentality as this woman?
