As the box office of The Return of the Great Sage is getting higher and higher, one thing that people are very concerned about has been unearthed, how much money can the director make?
At the end of February, the box office of The Return of the Monkey King was over 700 million, and many professional film critics and people from Douban speculated that the final box office would be around 1 billion.
Some people say that directors earn 7 to 8 billion, while others say that most theaters get it, and directors only work part-time.
"Excluding the 10% tax and part of the theater chain's share, the investor will receive about 600 million. Note that it is the investor and not the director alone!"
An up owner who claimed that you can make a lot of money by raising pigs in the future posted an article explaining the box office share of The Return of the Monkey King. In just three minutes, the video received millions of views.
"Next let's look at who the investors are? Excluding the investors' share, the rest belongs to the director."
"We won't talk about the hundreds of people who crowdfunded on the Internet. They are too few. Today I will introduce to you Guanlan Investment Company, one of the investors."
"This company has invested a total of 10 million yuan. I have to say that the artist is really bold. You must know that there is still a big risk in The Return of the Great Sage as a domestic animation to be released during the Spring Festival. Many people were not optimistic about it before."
"Of course, this is not the point. The point is the legal person of this company, Yang Ning! Maybe you don't know her, but she is an entertainment agent, but when I mention the artists under her, you will know who it is, Fang Jing!"
"That's right, this company was run by Fang Jing's agent and has been around for quite some time. However, the shareholders changed more than a month ago and it became Fang Jing."
"That is to say, this company is now owned by Fang Jing. I think it is not difficult to explain why they can get 10 million."
"Then what fans want to know most is how much money Fang Jing earns. The editor doesn't give in. At the end of the video, I tell you, 50 million! That's right, it's 50 million. I can only say that lemons are sour. Why not me?
?”
"Fang Jing made 50 million from investing!"
On the third day after the video was aired, Fang Jing became a hot search topic. This time it was really not bought by the studio. In fact, Fang Jing had consciously lowered his presence in the past few months.
A big tree attracts the wind, and being famous is sometimes not a good thing.
When he has work to show, he can show it off, and when he has nothing to do, he can sleep at home. This is his ideal life.
It's boring to go out to buy groceries and have hundreds of people watching.
"It turns out that the flowers are blooming everywhere,"
"Like this, everything ends up being ruined."
"What a wonderful time, beautiful scenery."
"Whose family is home for pleasure?"
"Chao Fei Mu Juan,"
"Yunxia Cuixuan."
In Hengdian, Fang Jing is still unaware of the outside world. At this moment, he is dressed in a theatrical robe and singing an ancient opera. This is the first scene of his role as February Red.
She has heavy make-up on her face, white face and long hair, wears a red hairpin on her head, carries a sword at her waist, and sings Kunqu opera while wearing thick white-soled soap boots.
A stand-in could have been used for this part, since I couldn't identify who it was anyway, but Fang Jing insisted on doing it himself.
He asked two Peking Opera teachers to learn the song "A Dream in the Peony Pavilion", which consisted of dozens of words for a week. It was later edited down to only thirty seconds when it was broadcast.
“If nothing else, let’s spread traditional culture.” These were Fang Jing’s original words.
"Stuck! Passed!"
The scene didn't stop after the director called the cut, and continued to sing, and it was almost finished.
"Rain silk wind film,"
"Smoke painted boat,"
"The people of Jinping think that this time is so mean."
"good!!"
The actors in the audience clapped their hands, and Fang Jing's glare at the end clearly showed that he had put in a lot of effort.
The glare in opera is not the unskilled glare in TV dramas. It requires widening the eyebrows and raising the eyes instantly. It looks powerful and energetic, which is not easy to practice!
In order to practice this look, the Peking Opera teacher asked Fang Jing to stare at the candle without blinking. In the end, he almost shed tears.
"Fang Jing, sure! I didn't expect you to have such a hand. I'll save the last close-up for you."
"Thank you, Director Guo!"
…
"Mr. Fang really didn't go to acting school?"
"No, I heard that he only debuted a little over a year ago and sang before."
"Is your acting skills better than mine?"
"It's hard to say for the time being. He's a little better than you at the moment, but he put in more effort. Let's watch the drama later!"
Not far away, Zhang Mingen and Ying Haoming lowered their heads and whispered, discussing Fang Jing's acting skills in a low voice.
Today is the boss's first scene, and there are a lot of people who came to support it. Basically, everyone who has nothing to do is here. They have made up their minds. No matter how the performance is, they will applaud as soon as the director calls out.
February Hong, who had put on makeup before, started singing, and they almost thought she was a substitute.
If you can sing so well and act so hard, do you still want to live?
"Fang Jing, you are so awesome!" In the director's studio, Xu Shi gave a thumbs up as soon as Fang Jing came in.
"A prize, a prize, a prize!"
"I'm talking about investment!" Xu Shi put his phone in front of Fang Jing, "You made 40 million silently, brother, how did you make it, please help me, brother!"
"Investment is risky, so you need to be cautious when entering the industry!" Fang Jing shook his head, "I said that at the beginning, I mainly wanted to support domestic animation, do you believe it?"
"I believe it! But next time you need this kind of support, remember to call me! I will support you to the end even if you lose everything!"
Xu Shi's words were naturally mostly joking. Taking 10 million to win was an illusory result. Let alone whether there was 10 million, he would not be willing to part with it.
If you lose, you can only go to the rooftop to smoke and calm down, and then you will be a good man again in eighteen years.
"I'm going to ask for leave in two days. You guys can coordinate and film Cheng Weiting's scenes first." Fang Jing watched the playback without raising his head.
"What time? How long will it take?"
"On the 3rd, the whole day. Come back at noon on the 4th."
"Ok!" The director waved his hand, "You don't have a scene on the 3rd, so what kind of leave do you have? There is a scene on the 4th, but if you can come back at noon, we can just make up for it in the afternoon."
Of course, Fang Jing asked for leave to attend the opening ceremony of the foundation. He was the initiator and supervisor of this event, so he had to go to the opening ceremony.
…
On March 1st, before the opening time, Fang Jing announced the foundation on Weibo and took the opportunity to advertise.
Normally, he would just donate a little money, and he wouldn't have to make a small donation. But in the future, the foundation will need to rely on caring people from society to operate, and people won't know about it unless it is publicized.
"Support! Do a lot of good things for your hometown. Where is the donation channel? I will donate 100."
"I'm not bragging, but if Fang Jing publishes a new book, I will donate one thousand immediately!"
You Fang Lao Dao: "Haha, if Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou donate first, I will donate. Besides, Fang Jing is just talking about making so much money. Why should everyone contribute money? Who is brought by the strong wind?"
"It's obviously a crowdfunding project, but the foundation still has his name on it? How shameless is it? There's no explanation of where the money went. How do we know if it's been implemented?"
Looking at this familiar ID name, Fang Jing frowned. There were too many people who blackmailed him, but there were only a few people who were black enough to make him look familiar. This old Taoist You Fang was one of them.
