1576: When you go to hell, she is looking down from above!
In early 2008, what was the concept of a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions?
According to China's box office accounting rules, a production cost of 100 million would require a box office of almost 300 million to make a profit - if "One World" is not bragging, and it really costs hundreds of millions to make a movie, then "One World" is right.
This movie is expected to win the box office championship in 2008!
In 2007, the box office rankings of Chinese-language domestic films were just released, and the top one was the costume war blockbuster movie, which topped the annual box office of domestic films with a total box office of 190 million within three weeks of its release.
The movie market is growing rapidly. According to the 2007 movie box office data, industry insiders speculated: This year's total box office will be 190 million to win the championship. Next year it is expected to double, and the champion's total box office will strive for 400 million!
Everyone can have a dream, and there is nothing wrong with "Huan Yu" wanting to win the box office championship next year.
Wen Ying said that the Ran family was stingy, mainly because the subject matter that Ran Keqing wanted to shoot conflicted with Mr. Zhang's ideas.
Of course, this subject was not bought out by Mr. Zhang, and Ran Keqing could indeed shoot it... By choosing the same subject, getting the project approved first, and holding the press conference first, Ran Keqing deliberately wanted to avoid getting into trouble with Wen Ying.
There was nothing wrong with Wen Ying, but Mr. Zhang was in a bad mood.
It was Mr. Zhang who first had the idea to shoot this subject.
Mr. Zhang and Ran Keqing met Wen Ying at dinner. Mr. Zhang mentioned that he wanted to hire Wen Ying as a screenwriter, and Ran Keqing wanted to step in temporarily.
Mr. Zhang agreed.
Ran Keqing couldn't accept Wen Ying's script quotation and regretted it midway.
Mr. Zhang didn’t say anything.
As a result, Ran Keqing wanted Huanyu to shoot the same subject and held a press conference first. When Mr. Zhang held another press conference, the media would only say that Liansheng followed the trend of Huanyu!
These two movies are destined to be compared together!
"Huanyu" held a press conference beforehand, and Yuan Fenghui immediately asked Wen Ying to go to the company for a meeting.
"Xiaoyu hasn't started writing yet, how about we change the subject?"
Regardless of the theme, the script will always be quoted at 5 million. This premise will not change, but the production fee will change depending on the theme.
But it doesn't matter, Yuan Fenghui is not afraid of renegotiating with Mr. Zhang.
Mr. Zhang also felt that Ran Keqing was bullying others too much.
'Liansheng' is not as big as 'Huanyu'. Mr. Zhang and Mr. Ran have known each other for many years. This time Ran Keqing actually refused to give Mr. Zhang face... There are so many movie themes, does Ran Keqing have to come and compete with 'Liansheng'?
?
Mr. Zhang gritted his teeth: "If we don't change the subject, we will stick to the plan we discussed before and don't be disturbed by 'Huanyu'."
Yuan Fenghui said frankly: "Miss Ran's investment is hundreds of millions. If we use this as a standard, even 40% of the investment is an amount that Tianjiao cannot afford. We can't compete with Huanyu for our investment."
“Why invest in it?”
Mr. Zhang sneered, "Big investment can easily lead to high box office. Is it possible that high box office is the result of big investment? If 'World' invests 100 million and can recover 200 million box office, our investment of only 60 million will eventually recover 200 million box office.
We must be the ones making money!”
An investment of 100 million and a total box office of 200 million is a loss.
With an investment of 60 million, the total box office was 200 million, but it was a profit.
Anyone can calculate this account, but there are too few people who can actually do it.
Apart from anything else, the cast that can be hired with an investment of 100 million is absolutely different from the cast that can be hired with an investment of 60 million.
For most viewers, a good cast and a subject that the director is interested in are the factors that attract them to the cinema. If two movies are released at the same time and they only want to watch one movie, they will definitely choose the one with the strongest cast.
That one!
Mr. Zhang suddenly turned to look at Wen Ying: "Our investment is not as good as that of 'Huanyu', and the themes are different again. In the end, the only thing we can compete with is the story. In this regard, I have confidence in Teacher Xiaoyu, because 'Huanyu' is definitely
I won’t spend 5 million on a movie script.”
A budget of 100 million sounds like a lot, but if you hire a bunch of big-name stars, the total remuneration will be tens of millions.
The remaining money will be used to build outdoor scenes, do post-production special effects, and support a whole crew. How can a budget of 5 million be left for the script?
What's more, in the hearts of Ran's father and daughter, and in the eyes of most bosses in the industry, a movie script is not worth 5 million at all!
Mr. Zhang had high hopes for Wen Ying, and Wen Ying suddenly felt pressured.
This matter has developed to this point. For Wen Ying, it is no longer as simple as making a fortune.
"Huanyu" found someone to write a script in a project with a total investment of hundreds of millions. It definitely did not cost more than 5 million. It was a huge success at the box office. This is a victory for "Huanyu".
And "Lian Sheng" wanted to make the same theme, with a total investment of only 60 million. Mr. Zhang was willing to spend 5 million to buy the script. After the movie was released, the box office bombed. This was not only the failure of "Lian Sheng" -
It was Wen Ying's own failure.
Proves that her script is not worth 5 million.
It is also a blow to all film screenwriters.
Wen Ying's expression was serious: "Mr. Zhang, my quotation is not low. My script will be worthy of the 5 million quotation."
Just regarding the direction of the script, Wen Ying held several meetings with Mr. Zhang and Yuan Fenghui to get a clear understanding of the direction.
Although Mr. Zhang is an iron rooster who can squeeze out oil from any stone, he has a very professional understanding of the film market.
Mr. Zhang analyzed the film market in the past few years, and Wen Ying understood... the film market in the next few years.
One knows the past, the other knows the future, and their ideas collide in many discussions. Can they finally make a movie that is both popular and popular?
have no idea.
Everyone looked confident, but in fact they were worried inside.
Whether a movie is good or not is not decided by the film company, nor by the screenwriter, director, and actors. In the end, it still has to be presented to the audience for testing.
The exam week is over, other students are welcoming the winter vacation, and Wen Ying's screenwriting work has just begun.
Wen Ying felt quite embarrassed when facing Xie Qian.
Xie Qian's rehabilitation plan is almost over this winter vacation. Wen Ying originally wanted to spend more time with Xie Qian during the winter vacation, but after Ran Keqing's behavior, Wen Ying really had to devote herself to script creation.
Speaking of Miss Ran's sexy tricks, Wen Ying poked the poached egg with her chopsticks, and the perfectly cooked poached egg exploded and turned yellow.
It was obvious that Wen Ying was poking a poached egg, but Xie Qian's scalp felt a little tight.
Xie Qian suspected that his girlfriend would pop Miss Ran's head like a poached egg.
"Of course your creation is more important!"
Xie Qian's answer was unequivocal: "You write the script well, and I will recuperate well. We will try to complete our respective phased tasks at the same time."
Wen Ying put down the chopsticks that were used to poke the poached eggs, and the smile on her face turned into sadness as soon as it appeared: "But if we are busy with our own things, won't I be able to see you? I still want to see you..."
It's not easy to confirm the relationship between boyfriend and girlfriend. What's the point of not seeing each other every day? Wen Ying is not engaging in online dating!
Xie Qian tried hard to look away from the poached egg, and his boyfriend power increased from 100% to 200%, "Of course we can meet. You concentrate on writing the script, and I will come over to eat with you every day."
Wen Ying was very satisfied with this answer and finally stopped tossing the poor poached egg.
Wen Ying began to clock in at Tianjiao every day. An independent office was more conducive to concentrating on creation.
‘Mr. Xiao Wen’ is back again.
Tianjiao's employees are hardworking and don't dare to be lazy.
When Li Mengjiao heard about this, she was so angry that she said, "Has Shen Xie ever looked at her? She really likes to be sentimental! I must participate in the filming of this movie, even if I am asked to play a passerby. Hey, this is a publicity.
The idea is, let me play the role of passerby in it, and use this to publicize it... Ah, Teacher Yuan, why did you hit me on the head? Don't hit me, don't hit me, otherwise I'll be stupid!"
Li Mengjiao scurried away with her head in her arms.
Yuan Fenghui was so angry at her: "I spent so much effort on you just to let you play the role of a passerby who doesn't even have any lines? Remember, you are Li Mengjiao, and you will never play the role of a passerby!"
"Oh, I remember."
Li Mengjiao escaped from the office and met Yun Chen and Zhang Yangning.
"Teacher Yuan has a bad temper today, so be careful not to offend her!"
Yun Chen just came back from the crew.
Acting in a movie and acting in a TV series are different feelings.
A single scene in a TV series can be easily passed. The director always praised Yun Chen again and again, praising his beautiful face, praising his good manners, and praising him that he was born to eat this kind of food.
When it comes to making movies, Yun Chen will be NGed many times in one shot.
He thought he could act well, but the director thought he was not emotionally up to the mark!
The big screen will magnify the actor's face, and it will also magnify the actor's performance. The acting skills that are acceptable in TV series are not enough in movies!
After Yun Chen finished acting in a movie, he still didn't get over being beaten by the director every day. He still wanted to continue being beaten and despised by the movie director.
Of course, what's more important is that the company's new project has been shouldered by others, and Yun Chen is willing to do his part.
"I can play a supporting role."
"I can score a movie!"
Yun Chen and Zhang Yangning said in unison.
Yuan Fenghui, who had just been mad at Li Mengjiao for half of her life, came back to life: Li Hanhan was just a special case, and his own vision was not that bad. The other two were normal.
Yuan Fenghui said kindly, "Don't worry, I will arrange it when you need to play. Now we have to wait for Wen Ying's script."
Yun Chen and Zhang Yangning looked at each other: Why is Teacher Yuan's mood so bad? It's obviously not bad!
If there is a suitable role, of course it should be reserved for the artists of your own company first.
Tianjiao has artists, and Liansheng also has artists.
If male actors like Yun Chen and Lian Sheng could play a role, Yuan Fenghui would have to grab it even if he pushed Mr. Zhang to the ground and beat him.
But the premise is that the role is really suitable for Yun Chen!
Yuan Fenghui did not interfere with Wen Ying's creation at all, and did not require Wen Ying to create a certain character based on the image of Li Mengjiao, Yun Chen or Zhang Yangning.
Even if Wen Ying wanted to write a "heroine" who was very close to Li Mengjiao, Yuan Fenghui would advise Wen Ying not to do that. Yuan Fenghui would not let Li Mengjiao play a passerby, but she also knew that Li Mengjiao's acting skills at this time were not up to par.
Play a leading role in the movie!
After Li Mengjiao, Yun Chen and Zhang Yangning took turns expressing their loyalty, Song Foxiang, another contracted writer of Tianjiao, with long hair and white clothes, arrived gracefully.
"I can create a script with Xiao Wen. Don't worry, I won't compete with Xiao Wen for authorship rights. I don't even want compensation. I just can't stand the idea of a rich girl bullying others!"
Song Foxiang felt that he was very loyal, but Yuan Fenghui rejected his kindness: "No, you can't participate in the creation of the script."
"I don't want money!"
Song Foxiang glared: "Does anyone know better than you how much it costs to hold a lecture now? In order to help Xiaowen resist the oppression of rich girls, I didn't even participate in the activities. Not only did I not ask for money, but I also gave money to it. Why?
Don’t you want me to join?”
Yuan Fenghui sneered: "If I ask you to join the screenwriting team, I'm afraid that after the film is finished, it will have to be cut in half before it can pass the review."
Song Foxiang was furious: "Descriptions of love and desire are normal artistic creations!"
Yuan Fenghui's eyes were twitching wildly, and she pointed to the door with a dark face: "I'll give you three seconds to disappear. I don't want to use force against you."
Song Foxiang was kicked out of the office.
Li Mengjiao watched Song Foxiang running away with his head in his arms, feeling lingering fear: Teacher Yuan was really in a bad mood.
