For example, in this movie with a total investment of more than 300 million yuan, Lu Han's personal salary was as high as 120 million yuan, and the heroine Su Qi also received 80 million yuan in salary. The two people's salary combined accounted for 10% of the total investment. Two thirds!
It is conceivable that the remaining 100 million is actually used for shooting and post-production, and even less!
Completely opposite to Li Yi's example and the dedication of actors such as Ng Meng-tat, Lu Han often played games during filming!
At that time, the filming of "Shanghai Fortress" had already been started for a long time, but Lu Han did not spend too much time studying the script and figuring out the characters like Li Yi and others. Instead, he focused a lot of energy on the game!
Even he himself said many times in interviews and on Weibo that during the filming, when the director called out the call, he immediately took out his phone and started watching the game, and for a whole month, he played games every day. , I haven’t played for only two days, and you still use this kind of thing as a way to show off!
It can be said that the poor reputation of "Shanghai Fortress" is caused by the director and starring Lu Han alone!
Under various criticisms, the director of "Shanghai Fortress" Teng Huatao not only posted an apology on Weibo, but also said that he used the wrong Lu Han in a genre that was not suitable for him!
Lu Han himself only responded to the camera during an interview: "As a new actor, I hope everyone will be considerate of me and don't stop watching this movie because of me. I have to take it step by step. Accumulate experience, don’t rush in this process of progress, take your time!”
When you speak, your eyes and face are full of smiles!
At this time, Lu Han obviously didn't care about the audience's comments. Anyway, he earned not a penny less than he should have earned!
But what he hasn't understood yet is that the patience of the audience and the market is limited, especially for a good actor like Li Yi, no one will give him any time to improve!
What's more, he debuted earlier than Li Yi, and the total number of movies and TV series he filmed is actually a little more than Li Yi.
But the quality is still hard to say!
The box office of "Shanghai Fortress" on the second day was only more than 2 million, and with yesterday's, it barely exceeded 100 million. Such reputation and box office results have made all theaters put this movie in their schedule. It has been reduced to the lowest level, and all the free film schedules have been given to "The Wandering Earth"!
This is not over yet. On the third day, the box office of "Shanghai Fortress" was not only bleaker than yesterday, but all the official media today unanimously gave various praises to "The Wandering Earth", even some criticisms. CCTV News reported and affirmed the sensation caused by "The Wandering Earth"!
At the same time, some movies were also criticized, with sky-high salaries, zero acting skills, and various movie chaos. Although they were not named, there were multiple Weibo screenshots in the screen, and those Weibo comments Here, everyone is criticizing "Shanghai Fortress"!
Therefore, before the CCTV news had finished broadcasting and "Shanghai Fortress" was released less than three days ago, it was forced to be released by all theaters!
In other words, 360 million was invested in "Shanghai Fortress", but the box office revenue did not even recoup the remuneration cost paid to Chen Han, let alone make money. It really cost my grandma's house!
Another half month later, when the box office of "The Wandering Earth" was still booming, the General Administration, led by the General Administration of China, jointly issued a remuneration restriction order in conjunction with the Film and Television Production Committee, the Actors Committee, the TV Series Production Industry Association, the Online Audiovisual Festival and Service Association, etc.! !
It is nothing more than correcting the current chaos in the film and actor industries and improving the quality of movies and TV series.
And this news is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the freshmen, represented by Lu Han, who continue to receive sky-high salaries!
The two stones stirred up a lot of waves. At the time of the heated discussion, Li Yi posted a call for blogs: "The spring for good actors is here!"
Although there are only a few words, it makes the entire Internet and entertainment circle completely excited!!
"This remuneration restriction order comes at the right time. I've long been unhappy with those young talents! They all have acting skills but no acting skills. They are so arrogant. They act like crap in everything they do, but the pay for each one is higher than their ability. The pie is several times higher! They don’t deserve it!”
"What Brother Yi said is so good! A good actor like Brother Yi should be treated kindly. This is the normal atmosphere and can make the film industry a virtuous circle!"
"Hahahaha! Now, the kind of little fresh guy who goes to the crew to teach how to play games at night for a few months can earn a salary of 100 million, which is considered a cool thing. I can't even take it back. Let's see who dares to hire this kind of person in the future. Rubbish! The most important thing is that now that the order has been issued, let’s see if they dare to offer such a high price in the future. It is completely inconsistent with the price of their acting skills!”
"Those little freshmen should really learn from Brother Yi. Seriously making movies is no better than anything else. They have to act like monsters. Their prices are higher than others, their acting is worse than others, and their attitudes are worse than others. ! It’s fine now, just keep on doing it if you have the ability! From now on, for them, money will not be as easy to earn as before!"
"Only a good actor like Brother Yi deserves to be paid such a high salary. Only when everyone is convinced will you be convinced! Those little rotten idiots should go back and make fun of themselves with their idiot fans. Don't come out to harm the movie!" "
"As soon as I got up, I saw Brother Yi's Weibo post, and then I realized what happened, and my mood immediately improved."
"It's great! Nowadays, any young guy who makes any movie can be paid hundreds of millions, which is about the same as the asking price of a god-level actor like Brother Yi. The key is whether you are qualified to take that much money and you don't know the market value!"
"Speaking of which, if you spend hundreds of millions to hire a young actor, why don't you spend more to hire Yi Ge? The money is about the same, but Yi Ge's acting skills completely surpass those young actors. The price/performance ratio is simply not too high!"
"Upstairs, don't compare Yi Ge's acting skills with those little fresh meats. Really, this is a compliment to the little fresh meats and an insult to Yi Ge! Also, do you think those directors are fools? They also Everyone wants to invite Brother Yi, but the problem is that Brother Yi has very strict requirements on the quality of scripts. If there is no good script, even the invitations from Zhang Yimou and Chen Long will be rejected!"
"...."
Under Li Yi's Weibo, countless netizens left excited comments and expressed strong support for the remuneration restriction order. They all felt that the young people targeted by the remuneration restriction order should have been punished long ago. Only Li Yi is like this Only good actors deserve high salaries!
Not only did netizens react fiercely, celebrities big and small in the industry, whether they were big names like Huang Bo or unknown actors, all immediately retweeted Li Yi's Weibo with a big smiley face!
Li Yi said that the spring for good actors has arrived, and he is now undoubtedly the representative of good actors in China. His words were obviously meant for all actors, and he wanted all actors to know that those who really take acting seriously will definitely There will be corresponding rewards!
The remuneration restriction order and Li Yi's words really gave these good actors who are serious about filming, but their efforts and rewards are not proportional, a shot in the arm!
And facts have proven that the remuneration restriction order is still very effective!
As soon as this directive came out, the domestic actor camp was immediately reshuffled, and within a few days, various news came out.
For example, those really good actors were either not favored before, or their pay was too low, not even a fraction of that of Xiao Xianrou, but now they are getting the treatment they deserve, their pay has been greatly increased, and they are being treated more and more.
Pay more and more attention!
Another example is that the salaries of those young talents have shrunk significantly, and almost no directors are willing to hire them anymore. No matter how low the salary is, they still don’t want to use them. Just like a good stock, you buy up and not down!
Before the remuneration restriction order came out, Shanghai Fortress, starring Lu Han, came to a disastrous end, which made all directors realize that the impact of Xiaoxianrou on the movie box office has been minimal, and its impact on word-of-mouth is very large.
Few directors want to use young actors anymore.
Not to mention it after the remuneration restriction order came out!
The salary of 1.2 billion became the highest Lu Han ever received in his acting career, and it also became the last struggle for young talents. From then on, it plummeted.
Now let alone 1.2 billion, asking for 10 million is too expensive!
Li Yi stayed at Cheng Yajie's house for a while and played everywhere with Cheng Yajie every day, which really relaxed her for a while.
After fifteen days, Li Yi took Cheng Yajie back.
Before leaving, Cheng Yajie's parents cooked a sumptuous table of delicious food. During the meal, they asked insinuatingly when Li Yi planned to marry Cheng Yajie. From what he meant, they were obviously afraid of the long nights and dreams, and thought that if such a good son-in-law ran away.
, then it will be hard to find again!
Within a few days after returning, Li Yi returned to work again.
He came to the company and held a meeting with everyone. The main purpose of the meeting, in addition to letting him check the company's operations and the progress of everyone's work, was to decide what movie to shoot next.
At present, the company is running very well, everything is on the right track, and Li Yi does not need to worry at all.
Although after establishing the new company, Li Yi decided to focus on making movies by himself, if there is a good script for him to cooperate with, he will naturally not refuse it, so the company will still receive many scripts from directors for Li Yi to choose from.
.
At the meeting, Chen Yanyu took the remaining scripts she had screened over and placed them in front of Li Yi.
There were too many scripts sent by Bi Yi. It would be a waste of Li Yi's time if Chen Yanyu didn't go through them first, throw away some bad scripts that were obviously not good, and let Li Yi read them all by himself.
Li Yi flipped through the scripts one by one. He could tell the quality of these scripts with just one or two glances. Everyone sat there, watching him silently, waiting for him to make a decision.
Li Yi quickly read through dozens of scripts and threw them all aside.
No one can satisfy him!
Bi Yi, with his acting skills, popularity and status in the industry, he really doesn't like ordinary scripts and they are not suitable for his development.
"Sister Yu, don't you have a script there?" Li Yi looked up and found a script lying on Chen Yanyu's desk, so she asked.
"I think this script is okay, but I also think the subject matter is a bit risky and I shouldn't accept it, so I'm still hesitating whether to show it to you!" Chen Yanyu said.
"It's okay, I'll take a look and talk about it later," Li Yi said with a smile.
Chen Yanyu immediately picked up the script and walked over. She handed it to Li Yi and did not leave. Instead, she stood next to him and waited for him to make the final decision.
"God of Gamblers"!
When Li Yigang saw the name of the script, his eyes suddenly lit up!
Because his memory told him that this was a good movie with a score higher than 8, and it was the kind that created a new genre!
After flipping through a few pages, Li Yi put down the script and said to Guo Shuquan: "Sister Yu, I accepted this script!"
"Xiao Yi, are you serious about not thinking about it again?" Chen Yanyu took a look at the script and said, "The reason why I have been hesitating is that I feel that this is a new subject that has never been tried before, and I am afraid of filming it.
If it doesn’t sell well, it will affect your reputation!”
"New themes are good. They can bring new experiences to the audience. It is also a challenge for me personally, because as you know, I don't like to repeat myself and I don't want to be trapped in a fixed drama routine!" Li Yi
He smiled and said: "Besides, before the filming of "The Wandering Earth" started, didn't you all look down on it and not let me touch it? What was the result?"
"So, don't worry!"
Li Yi's confident attitude and smile made Chen Yanyu feel relieved. She felt that she had failed too many exams before!
"Okay, then I'll contact them right now!" After Chen Yanyu finished speaking, she went out to make a phone call.
Soon, she came back and told Li Yi that she had contacted him and made an appointment with him.
At this point, the meeting is over.
Although "The Wandering Earth" has not been released yet and the final box office results have not yet been released, judging from the current box office, it has really made a lot of money this time.
Achieving such good results is naturally a good thing, so after the meeting, Li Yi took everyone in the company out to celebrate!!
Some time later, "The Wandering Earth" was released, and the final box office results were finally released!
6.374 billion!!
The least ideal movie on the Spring Festival schedule, with the most unpopular subject matter, has become the biggest dark horse during the Spring Festival, and it is also the one with the best performance among all the movies released during the same period!
Although with a box office of more than 6 billion, it did not break the box office record and become the new number one like in the past, but in the Spring Festival period with many films and fierce competition, it is already quite impressive to achieve such results!
And it is still as awesome as compared with Li Yi's own previous achievements. If compared with the achievements of other movies, it can no longer be described as awesome, but a new miracle!!
Countless media have reported on this matter in all aspects, and the Internet is even hotly debated. Li Yi's Weibo was once again flooded with comments!!!
