Chapter 614 I once looked up at the starry sky that you have seen, through a hundred years
Chapter 614 I once looked up at the starry sky you saw, and we meet again after a hundred years of time and space.
"The Girls We Chased Together All Those Years" gave Fanxing a good start to its summer season.
Although the box office of 300 million+ is not a huge hit, the key is that the film cost is low.
The bulk of the entire movie is Liu Tianxian's salary, which is about 7.5 million.
"Three Kingdoms: Guandu" was intended to promote Liu Tianxian's popularity and gave Liu Tianxian a salary of 6 million, which was definitely the first echelon in the industry at that time.
As a result, after the movie was released, it brought a lot of public opinion to Liu Tianxian, which affected her salary to a certain extent.
But then again, although "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" has a poor reputation, its box office performance is not bad. The two films combined exceeded 600 million yuan. More importantly, it greatly increased Liu Tianxian's popularity in Asia.
In addition, although Liu Tianxian is not as eye-catching as Damimi in terms of film and television and commercial endorsements in the past two years, his fashion resources are actually good, and he has added a lot of weight invisibly.
More importantly, in the past two years, the salary of celebrities has skyrocketed, which has become an industry phenomenon. Liu Tianxian has also followed the rise and easily earned 7.5 million.
This is also the main argument used by many fairy fans to ridicule Da Mimi. Although Da Mimi is very popular now, she can only be said to be a newcomer in the film industry and is not recognized by the industry.
The remuneration for the three movies "Laughing in the River", "Martial Arts Story" and "God of Wealth Inn" is not as much as Liu Tianxian got from one movie.
Of course, Damimi signed the contract early and did not reach the peak of her popularity, so she suffered a certain loss.
But even now, Damimi's film salary is only 3 million to 3.5 million, which is still a long way from Liu Tianxian.
You must know that "Girls We Chased Together" became a hit, which confirmed Liu Tianxian's ability to single-handedly handle the box office and his popularity in Asia.
Regardless of whether it was just bad luck or not, the results are here and Liu Tianxian already has the confidence to ask for a salary of tens of millions of dollars.
As for the female stars in the entire entertainment industry, from both sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three places combined, there were only three and a half who had such confidence before.
Gong Li, International Zhang, Mr. Zhou.
And he has not yet fully proven that he has the ability to handle the box office alone, so his positioning is a little vague and he can only be considered half of Fan Xiaopang.
Of course, the asking price is the asking price, whether the film company and the crew will pay it is another matter.
But being able to put such a price tag on them shows that they are the hottest actresses in the entertainment industry right now.
Therefore, even though Da Mimi is extremely popular and even won the Golden Rooster title, in the industry and the outside world, Liu Tianxian is still the number one beauty born after 1985.
After "The Girls We Chased Together", let alone it, even if Damimi starred in "Now You See Me" and became even more popular.
After all, "Now You See Me" is about Cao Xuan, and Da Mimi is just a pushover.
Therefore, even if many people say that "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" is actually a good script, or it set off a wave of youthful pure love and aroused people's memories, the role of the heroine Liu Tianxian is not that big.
But it still can't be concealed that Liu Tianxian is indeed a member of the crew, and the early stage of the movie relies entirely on her to attract traffic.
As for the later movies that became popular due to word-of-mouth, whether it was due to strength or luck, no one could catch up.
If you are not convinced, you can also get one...
Liu Tianxian's salary was 6.5 million, and the male lead Chen Yao was paid about 100,000. The other actors were basically newcomers with little reputation, and the fees were very low. The actor's expenses for the entire movie were less than 8 million.
Including production and shooting, the total cost is about 20 million, plus publicity and distribution costs, the total cost is about 25 million.
Even in the later period, in order to increase the box office and enhance the reputation of Liu and Chen, the crew and Fanxing Company increased some publicity costs, but it did not exceed 30 million.
As for the income from all parties including mainland box office share + overseas box office share + advertising + copyright operation + channel income, this movie can earn approximately 150 to 200 million.
Under normal circumstances, if a youth movie with this box office volume is popular enough, the subsequent revenue will not be too bad, ranging from hundreds of thousands a year to seven figures.
Fanxing has experience in this. The domestic follow-up income of many previous movies and TV shows has stabilized at more than 50 million in the past two years.
As the domestic film and television business develops more and more, the channels for making money become wider and wider. Stars with countless popular works may earn hundreds of millions in revenue every year just from the copyright.
This is no exaggeration, just like the famous "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the company whose copyright was acquired by LeTV still has tens of millions in revenue every year.
Boss Jia fled to the United States, but LeTV still has hundreds of employees who stick to it. Their salaries and company operations are earned through building rentals and copyright income from several works such as "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
So much so that a famous meme has been formed on the Internet, using lines from "The Legend of Zhen Huan" to describe this incident.
"With this drama, LeTV will ensure its prosperity and wealth for a lifetime."
The popular works owned by Fanxing may not be as long-lasting as "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but they should not be underestimated. Many of them are classics that will never fade in reruns.
"Legend of Sword and Fairy" series, "Wulin Gaiden", "Heaven Slaying the Dragon", "Golden Family", "Myth", "The Temptation of Going Home", "Bright Sword", "Feng Shen Bang", "Water Moon Cave", "Detective Di Renjie" and "Baolian Lantern"
"Soldier Assault"......
They include almost one-third of the hit dramas every year. They may not be able to earn eight figures per year like "The Legend of Zhen Huan", but they can still bring good profits.
In addition to movies, Fanxing has had movies in the top ten, top five, and even the annual championship every year since 2003.
If these profits are accumulated and added up, the amount will be very considerable. Perhaps in a few years, the stars will be able to lie flat just by operating the copyright.
In any case, the revenue of "Girls We Chased Together in Those Years" exceeded Fanxing's expectations.
This kind of dark horse movie either doesn't appear, but as long as it does appear, it will be an eye-catching rate of return.
Cao Xuan also specially gave a big red envelope to directors Chen Hanzhu, Liu Tianxian and others, which shows that he is satisfied with this project.
There are also all kinds of lemons outside.
Although everyone is envious of the money made by big productions, they are not too jealous, after all, they have invested a lot of money.
The most dissatisfying thing is that this kind of dark horse movie with a small investment and a big return always makes people feel that there is a strong element of luck, and they think that I can do it, so it is uncomfortable to scratch the liver and lungs.
For example, Mr. Han said sourly that he was lucky to have met such a dark horse.
You know, even though many big names in the movie "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" did not make much money at the box office, the expenditures made by other parties were not small, with a cumulative investment of 80 million+.
But in terms of box office performance, even if some groups book the theater, it is only better than "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years".
You will definitely make money, but 80% of it will not be as much as "The Girls We Chased Together in Those Years". After all, the main theme overseas is almost the same as nothing.
Thinking about it, I worked hard to find countless big names to make such a blockbuster movie, but the result was not as profitable as a small-budget movie that Cao Xuan didn't care about.
No one will feel sad if I leave it alone!
What makes Mr. Han even more upset is that the film "The Founding of the Party", which he spent 80 million yuan on, lost its reputation to a short film.
This short film is actually a music MV, a tribute single specially released by Cao Xuan for the 90th anniversary of the founding of the Party - "Dislocated Time and Space".
Considering that in 2009, the 60th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Cao Xuan released two main themes, "Ruyu" and "Wanjiang", which were extremely effective and popular throughout the year, and are known as main theme pop classics.
Therefore, on this grand historical moment, the publicity outlet personally contacted Cao Xuan, hoping that he could write a tribute song.
Cao Xuan agreed wholeheartedly, "composed" the song in one fell swoop, and directed the MV short film with Chen Hanzhu.
In order to shoot this MV, Cao Xuan invited many well-known actors to assist, including Zhang Jiayi, Li Xuejian, Hu Ge and others.
On June 30, Cao Xuan jointly released the short film with publicity outlets, second-rate newspapers, the Youth League and many other official media.
Weibo directly ranked first on the hot search list. Countless fans and netizens came to hear the news and were deeply shocked by the content of the entire song and MV.
At the beginning of the video, with a soft prelude, a red flag with a hammer and sickle was unfurled high.
On the Jiahu Red Boat, a dozen young people held their hands tightly together and shouted in a low voice but firmly: "Proletarians of the world, unite."
The scene turned and Mr. ***, played by Zhang Jiayi, shouted loudly to the students in the audience.
"China a hundred years from now will definitely prove my point. Socialism will never let China down."
The latter shot shows Chen Yannian and Chen Qiaonian, played by Hu Ge and Chen Yao, stepping off the ship, in their prime youth.
"I am willing to die for this country and its people."
In the next scene, Mr. Lu Xun, played by Li Xuejian, wrote the last few words with his thin and trembling hands.
"I would like to express my gratitude to Han Xing, but I will recommend Xuanyuan with my blood."
At this time, Cao Xuan's singing finally sounded, the voice was soft but full of emotion, with deep admiration and nostalgia.
"That year you were the same age as me
Young is like a youthful song
But in order to create that new world of dreams
You turned around and hurried into the wind and rain
…”
In the wilderness, Mr. Zhai Qiubai looked around with his hands behind his back, and sat down calmly: "This place is very nice, let's shoot."
In the snowy fields of Northeast China, General Mao Zedong, who had run out of ammunition and food and was heavily surrounded, glared at the surrounding enemies: "Japanese imperialism will eventually perish."
Under the bunker, soldiers wearing People's Liberation Army uniforms held high explosive packs and shouted: "Forward for New China."
One by one, the martyrs flashed past, and Cao Xuan's singer became more desolate and sad.
"I saw thousands of cute people
Run towards the rising smoke without looking back
How many youthful figures disappear into the night
In exchange for morning light
…”
Business cards with information engraved on them flashed by, recording their age, life story and cause of death.
***, 38 years old, party member,... founder, published "My Theory of Marxism", was killed by warlords.
Chen Yannian, 29 years old, a party member... participated in the founding of the Youth Communist Party and was arrested and sacrificed.
Zhai Qiubai, 36 years old, party member,... was arrested and sacrificed.
***, 36 years old, party member,... was arrested and sacrificed.
Zhao Yiman, 31 years old, a party member... was captured by the Japanese invaders and died heroically.
The last few photos turned into scenes when they were preparing to die. The scarred bodies of the martyrs stepped forward. Suddenly, as if they heard something, they turned back with a warm smile, and then slowly turned around.
"I once looked up at the starry sky you saw
We meet again after a hundred years of time and space,
That smile before you turned around
I understand everything..."
The young faces, the admirable martyrs, and the tear-jerking lyrics instantly made people burst into tears and cry uncontrollably.
The names and photos of the martyrs and ancestors flashed by again, accompanied by the return of Xiangjiang, the God Five going to heaven, the Beijing Olympics, the World Expo, and countless children going to the martyrs' cemetery to lay flowers.
Cao Xuan sang the final closing passage softly, almost like whispering, but equally firm.
"I look up at the sky you've seen
The ground under your feet has changed time and space
The red you left swaying in the wind
in heart, heart
…”
After the song was sung, countless viewers had mixed feelings and left their thoughts in the comment area.
【Pay tribute to the martyrs】
["I look up at the starry sky you have seen, and meet again after a hundred years of time and space." This wording is so well written]
[I cried when I heard it. I am lost in time and space. I really want them to see our current life]
[The history I took the test was their life]
[I like Cao Xuan’s songs, often because he has a pattern that many singers don’t have, and he writes songs that we Chinese should listen to and sing]
[Yes, this is the feeling of Chinese musicians]
[I don’t like Cao Xuan, but in terms of patriotism, the entertainment industry is definitely unique]
[Having great achievements for a long time in mind is exactly the glory of a century]
[Cao Xuan once again proved himself that as long as he is still there, all Chinese musicians can only be the second child at best]
[This song makes my scalp numb, for the first time in my life]
[What a pity, if this song was the theme song of "The Great Cause of Party Building", the box office would be higher]
[Farewell, even though that movie was good, I still feel it’s not worthy of this song]
[Indeed, the highlights are all in the first half. The subsequent May Fourth and Party Founding films are too shallow, and their appeal is even far inferior to Cao Xuan’s MV.]
[Gift film VS tribute song, total defeat]
【……】
Due to the overwhelming praise of "Dislocated in Time and Space", "The Great Cause of Party Building" was also damaged all over.
This movie is indeed of the highest quality in the trilogy, but when it comes to the level of promotion of the main theme, it is not particularly strong. At least compared to the later "Awakening Age", the gap between the relevant clips is not the slightest bit.
The whole drama is based on the appearance of many big names in the first half, and the turbulent, dark and confusing situation of the Republic of China is well captured.
But after these guys left the scene, the subsequent scenes can only be said to be quite satisfactory, even a little crotch-heavy.
If there was no "Dislocated Time and Space", you may not feel it deeply, but now with comparison, the original score of 75 has become just passing.
Mr. Han was even a little resentful because Cao Xuan was obviously starring in the movie, but he hid such a big killer weapon and didn't show it out.
However, Cao Xuan no longer had time to pay attention to him. The influence of "Dislocated Time and Space" was beyond his expectation, and he was urgently transferred to perform the song at two important events.
Moreover, "Dislocated Time and Space" was exceptionally selected as one of the outstanding works of the 90th anniversary, and was later included in the official archives of our party, giving it a political halo.
In other words, this song has been confiscated again, and Cao Xuan will not be able to sing it for commercial use easily in the future.
But Cao Xuan was used to it, and it was nothing more than another layer of buffs.
Boss Cao himself doesn’t even know how thick his golden body is now, so he was eager to test it out by committing suicide, but later his rationality told him that he should follow his heart in everything...
