"Brother Shuo, this kind of return on investment is what you dare to say!" Feng Haibo grinned.
Hu Shuo shrugged: "The total investment for "Heart Blossom Road" was less than 50 million, and the total investment for "The Ex-Strategy" was less than 40 million..."
"So, you can figure it out yourself."
"Well……"
"Okay~!"
Feng Haibo has nothing to say, these are all facts.
However, an investment of 40 million requires a box office return of 1 billion. If this kind of words were said by others, it would definitely attract a lot of scolding. However, it is a routine operation for Hu Shuo.
"Beautiful Heart" and "The Story of My Ex" are both low-cost and high-box-office examples. Of course, there is also "The Richest Man in Xihong City", the latter's total investment is only about 30 million.
In the following week, Hu Shuo was busy with the preparations for "I'm Not the God of Medicine." After news of the casting of Hu Shuo's new play spread in the industry, Zhang Ying's work phone was flooded with calls and emails of actors' resumes.
It even filled up her work mailbox, and the emails were sent as fast as if she had been infected by a computer virus.
However, Zhang Ying did her duty conscientiously. Based on the personality characteristics of several main characters in "I'm Not the God of Medicine", she selected the information of more than a dozen actors and sent it to Hu Shuo.
In addition to being suitable for the roles in the play, these dozen actors also have a common feature: zero pay.
In fact, not to mention zero pay, many agents made it clear when they called Zhang Ying that as long as their artists can participate in the filming of Hu Shuo's new drama, not only will they not pay for it, but they can also bring funds to join the group.
And gave Zhang Ying a large amount of benefits.
However, Zhang Ying naturally refused them all. First of all, the salary Hu Shuo gave her was very high, and secondly, she also had artist commissions, so Zhang Ying was actually not short of money. In addition, she also understood Hu Shuo's temper.
, if she really did such a thing under his nose, her days at Chuangshi Entertainment would be over.
From the list provided by Zhang Ying, Hu Shuo finally selected the actors to play Pastor Liu and Peng Hao.
The two actors belong to two medium-sized entertainment companies. The actor Hu Shuo chose to play Pastor Liu is named Bai Zhiming, and the actor who plays Peng Hao is named Liu Liang.
The former is a veteran actor with very good acting skills, but he just looks familiar on the screen and is not famous. The latter is a newcomer who has just debuted. He has acted in two movies and was in a supporting role, while Hu
Shuo decided to cast him after watching his performance in one of the dramas.
As for another important supporting role in the play, pole dancer Liu Sihui, Hu Shuo decided to use Chu Yanran. The latter was naturally recommended by Qiu Xiaobai. For this old friend who once supported him, Hu Shuo still gave
Of course, Chu Yanran's own conditions are also good. Her figure and appearance are first-class in the entertainment industry. However, she does not know how to pole dance and needs to learn it unexpectedly. If she really can't learn it, she can only
Got a substitute.
It's another Monday.
The preparations for "I'm Not the God of Medicine" were basically completed. In the conference room of Chuangshi Entertainment, Hu Shuo convened a meeting with the main creative staff of the "I'm Not the God of Medicine" crew to determine the start time, which will be this Saturday.
This drama is directed by Hu Shuo, and Li Yuqing, the director of "The Expedition", is the deputy director. Since Hu Shuo is still the leading actor, Li Yuqing has to sit behind the monitor to check things out a lot of the time.
Hu Shuo has just finalized the launch date of "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Chen Yuewen's new drama "The Savior" has already started shooting in Hengdian, and a grand opening ceremony was held. The cast announced at the opening ceremony has changed a lot from the previous lineup in the early promotion of "The Savior", and this
The change is quite shocking.
Judging from the lineup announced at the opening ceremony, "The Savior" is a drama that brings together two major movie kings and two major movie queens, and is co-starred by four top names in the film and television industry.
These four people are Huading Award Best Actor Zheng Qi, Golden Dragon Award Best Actress Wei Ziming, Chinese Media Award Best Actress Guo Yanke, and Golden Dragon Award Best Actress Lin Qianyu.
Among them, Lin Qianyu and Wei Ziming are both from Wenyu Group, while Zheng Qi and Guo Yanke belong to two other entertainment companies. When "The Savior" was promoted in the early stage, their names were not included in the starring list.
At the opening ceremony of this time, the two people were directly "airborne", and Zheng Qi and Guo Yanke are both recognized by the industry as acting talents. Therefore, after such a super luxurious lineup was announced, the attention of "The Savior" immediately also increased.
Soaring.
Coupled with Wenyu Group's behind-the-scenes operations, topics related to "Savior" soon appeared on Weibo's hot search list.
#"Savior"Startup#
#"Savior" lineup#
As the two topics became hot searches, they naturally brought a lot of discussion.
"Chen Yuewen has stepped up his game this time!"
"Two great movie kings plus two great movie queens, this lineup is simply invincible!"
"I really like Guo Yanke. I will definitely support him when the movie is released!"
"Obviously, this is for Brother Shuo, but looking at this lineup, Brother Shuo may not be able to win this time!"
"Wenyu Group has spent a lot of money this time. It is estimated that the salary of the four leading actors alone is 200 million. Adding the production fee, the total investment of this drama will probably start at 300 million!"
"If I say 300 million, it won't be able to stop it. Didn't the promotion say that "The Savior" is a doomsday-themed disaster movie? The production cost should be very high!"
"@Huzzozuo, Brother Shuo's "Savior" lineup is out, what do you think? Do you want it to be in the same period??"
“@Huzzozuo, your opponent has already played his cards, why don’t you respond too??”
"..."
While the super luxurious lineup of "The Savior" triggered discussions, many netizens have @Hu Shuo. After all, he and Chen Yuewen had a "fight" at the Chinese Media Awards ceremony. So, now that Chen Yuewen's new drama has started filming,
And the starring cast is so luxurious, people naturally want to see Hu Shuo's reaction.
However, Hu Shuo really did not disappoint the melon-eaters.
In the morning, the news about the launch of "The Savior" and its luxurious lineup just hit the screen. In the afternoon, the official Weibo of Chuangshi Entertainment released the latest news, announcing that the new drama "I'm Not the God of Medicine" written, directed and acted by Hu Shuo will be released.
It starts next Saturday.
At the same time, the official WeChat account of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" registered and released the starring cast led by Hu Shuo.
However, after seeing the starring cast of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", netizens were all worried about Hu Shuo.
"No, except for Brother Shuo, there is no big shot. Is this the way to lose?"
"This lineup is indeed much weaker than that of "The Savior". In addition to the four leading actors, several supporting actors are also quite good!"
"Looking at the lineup alone, "Savior" did win. Also, "I'm Not the God of Medicine"? What the hell is this name??"
"After seeing the movie title and cast, I suddenly had a bad feeling. Could it be that this movie will be Brother Shuo's Waterloo?"
"Actually, the lineup is not bad. Although it is not as good as "The Savior", Chu Yanran is very popular and has won awards abroad. I also particularly like Shen Kai's Guangu."
"I'm speechless when I see so many people bragging about the cast of "The Savior". In my opinion, Brother Shuo's appeal alone will definitely overwhelm the other actors and actresses!!"
