Chapter 219 Quotes
Shao Yingxiong, who has not shown his face in the media for a long time, has been in the newspaper again. This time, the photo of him and Wang Jinghua meeting in a hotel cafe appeared in the media. The appearance of this photo made countless hosts exclaim in their programs, and some people have even begun to shout whether the entertainment industry is going to have a violent shock again.
"How should Chengtian respond to the secret meeting with Wang Jinghua?"
"Hero Huayi hit hard again, pulling all the teams out of the way back to attack the opponent."
"Wang Jinghua's second defection will be confirmed as a slave of the three surnames."
There is basically nothing good in the media, which can also show from the side that Wang Jinghua will cause psychological panic for many people once he joins forces with Shao Yingxiong. These people are like whispering the world with their mouths and never consider the consequences of what they say. The shells will sound when they enter the hall. Whether the truth is true or not has nothing to do with them. What? Why are they not afraid of suing? Just sue him, and he will immediately find the cheapest lawyer to grind your teeth. During this period, he will turn his righteousness and filthy opponents into words. After the lawsuit is over, he will at least issue a tofu block statement to apologize. So far, no media has paid a huge sum of money for slandering artists.
Do you want to refute the rumors? There is no door!
Unless you can stick your butt and release a fart that completely smothers all media, it is not like a fart that breaks itself up while meditating. If you don’t completely block their mouths, you may be able to vomit out next time.
Even disgusting can make you feel sick.
When Shao Yingxiong saw the media's publicity, he only made people concisely release a statement online, claiming that Wang Jinghua would return to Huayi as president of Asia, and did not mention a word about the specific direction of responsibility. According to Shao Yingxiong's idea, Wang Jinghua could not stop the media from speaking no matter what he was responsible for. The only way to make this trend pass is time, that is, only time. Only when this topic is not new will no one hype it.
As a result, the whole world was in chaos. The media claimed every day that "Huayi used illegal means to unify the world", "Shao Yingxiong + Wang Jinghua = attractive, all artists cannot refuse this formula", "Shao Old Monster, who has been going on for generations, wants to unify the world and dominate the entertainment industry", these people went crazy. The newspapers and online media fanned the flames and made several companies that had a good relationship with Hero Huayi called and complained, saying that their artists asked people to inquire about Hero Huayi's strategy every day. If Huayi really had a premium buyout clause, they might have collective job-changing.
This made Shao Yingxiong laugh, which had nothing to do with him. This storm was completely hyped by the media, because except for Wang Jinghua joining, the hero Huayi had no idea of poaching any big names in the company.
As he had no choice but to send a message again, claiming that the hero Huayi had no plans to poach the game in the near future and was more inclined to internal training. He also asked Zhang Wan to cooperate with Wang Jinghua to go to the Central Academy of Drama and the Beijing Film Academy for a walk. Shao Yingxiong's plan was to calm the storm in the circle. As a result, Wang Jinghua's vicious eyes really brought him two girls back. One girl was Jing Tian, who later caused great misunderstandings in the circle and caused fans to squirt; the other girl was very sweet, Zhao Duoyan with beautiful lips.
Zhao Duoyan and Jing Tian did not have very good results in the circles that Shao Yingxiong knew, especially Jing Tian. In March 2012, Zhao Wenzhuo and Donnie Yen had a verbal battle due to filming incidents, causing fans to spit out randomly. Until the battle was fought back and forth by fans for various reasons, fans did not spill any dirty water on her. People who cursed on the Internet all day were satisfied, but in fact these people didn’t know what was going on. The fact is that everyone saw? Is it Zhao Wenzhuo accusing Donnie Yen of the single drama bully and changing his scenes without authorization? It was what a certain crew said, Zhao Wenzhuo was acting like a big shot, and did he stop filming?
It's really not!
That movie was made by a real estate giant who spent money to buy his girlfriend and was happy. Since it was to please her, she could not watch her girlfriend as a human-shaped set board. The original script should be the story between Donnie Yen and Zhao Wenzhuo. But when the real estate giant threatened the crew with capital injection, it said that the whole story must be overturned and started over again, everything changed. As for the two protagonists, the real estate giant was even willing to invest in making up for their losses, but the story must be based on his requirements. The crew who had already decided to change the script was asked to change the scene. Donnie Yen's film producer was in a difficult situation and could not change his scenes. After all, he was the protagonist, and Jing Tian was the real estate giant who asked for additional scenes, and it was even more impossible to change it. Then the only one who suffered the loss in the end was Zhao Wenzhuo.
The most annoying thing here is that Donnie Yen couldn't tell Zhao Wenzhuo, "Someone wants to praise girls, so you have to reduce the show as a supporting role." Zhao Wenzhuo was unwilling to give up and stopped filming with anger. In fact, who caused all this was clear at a glance.
When the domestic film environment becomes better and better in the future, all kinds of funds outside the circle line up to squeeze into the circle. Many big bosses have changed their Saturday and Sunday methods to reflect their taste. In the past, they played golf and drank red wine on weekends. Now golfers are artists. In order not to be confused with artists and show their high-end taste, they might as well just ask the director to talk about movies. Look at how tasty this amateur life is, they are talking about art. The most direct result of this situation is that a famous director ate three lunches, two dinners, and two midnight snacks a day on Sunday, and finally couldn't stand it. He pulled the crew from the prairie in the crew to stop the wine.
People are treating you as Sunday, who lets your actors occupy their golf course?
Well……
It was obvious that Shao Yingxiong had no choice but to refuse to sign these two artists. After all, this is Wang Jinghua's power category, so Shao Yingxiong simply turned a blind eye and let go.
During this period, Shao Yingxiong surrounded a piece of land in the north of the capital. This land was very cheap according to the land price in the capital. After buying this land, even if the company had a cornerstone in the plan to build a new special effects studio, the cost of the special effects studio was too high, and this investment was not completely enough to dig out most of Huayi's internal working capital. According to the calculations of American technicians, Shao Yingxiong had to invest at least 300 million to 500 million in the studio.
He began to realize that Shao Yingxiong, who was struggling to be sole proprietorship, did not want others to get involved in this secret weapon for conquering the world.
So, the question is, the company needs money to film, the company needs money to promote artists, and Shao Yingxiong's "Super Body" also needs money to use money, which once again caused a shortage of funds. Where does the shortage come from?
Jiang Wen will definitely film "Let the Bullets Fly" in the second half of the year. For this movie alone, he has to leave Jiang Wen with 100 million yuan in startup capital, and there will be project launch and filming of "Super Body"...
money!
Shao Yingxiong felt that no matter how much money he made, he didn't seem to be enough. If he immediately introduced Hollywood's special effects technology, he probably wouldn't be able to withstand it.
No, no matter what you do, you can't force it.
When Shao Yingxiong was sad for money, Jiang Wen came to the door.
"Xiao Shao, I'm ready."
When Jiang Wen appeared in Shao Yingxiong's office wearing a black suit and black lining, she brought out a sense of confidence.
"elder brother……"
Before Shao Yingxiong could finish his words, Jiang Wen reached out to stop him and looked in other directions, saying, "I understand what you want to remind me, Xiao Shao, I have changed my path this time. I don't play any art, any warning quotes, artistic conception and other things, and I just shoot what others can understand. I have completely figured it out. Why should I be a pioneer experimenter of art? The movies are made without box office and reputation, and they have to leave complaints that the audience can't understand. Why?"
"I just need to shoot some money-making things. What kind of movie revolution is the media that puts you on a hat and treats you as a fool and makes you nonsense. He records everything with paper and pen behind him. In the process, he smiles like something. In the end, I am embarrassed by myself." Jiang Wen turned his head and leaned on the chair and said, "These media people are all liars. While promoting art movies, art movies have connotations, they encourage art movie creators, 'You are deep-level human soul engineers'. When you get scolded, no one will talk to you."
"When I figured out the whole thing, it felt like I was living in an era that was incomprehensible. It was a bit like the internal propaganda slogans of the island people when they launched a war. You have to be loyal and die on the battlefield. This is where you die. Go to your sister, whoever loves to go, anyway, my buddy has been fooled."
Shao Yingxiong reached out and scratched his hair, making Jiang Wen confused: "Hey, what am I going to say just now..."
"By the way, brother, I'm just asking you how much money you plan to invest in this drama. Yes, that's all."
"Ah!" Jiang Wen opened his mouth and stared at her eyes...
The two of them laughed. This matter has passed. Let’s start talking about the main topic, which is the actor’s pay.
Except for the heroine Lee Hyun, the other actors in this drama recommend similar to what Shao Yingxiong has seen, except that Chen Kun did not appear in the lineup. Chen Kun’s performance in "Let the Bullets Fly" was his own request, otherwise, there would be no place here.
Jiang Wen plans to use Zhou Runfa who is in Hollywood, Ge You, the male lead used by Feng Xiaogang, and the heroine is Li Wei, who was forced to give her to Shao Yingxiong. As for the others, the pay can be ignored: "Okay, brother, do you know how to choose an actor who is related to us? Just the people you choose can save us a lot of money!"
Shao Yingxiong was amused as soon as he saw the cast. Zhou Runfa, Ge You, Jiang Wen, Jiang Wu, Li Wei, Zhou Yun, and Jiang Wen, except for the replacement of Liu Jialing, the rest of Jiang Wen were all the original cast members. These people's pay for Zhou Runfa was the highest, 30 million (Zhou Runfa and Wu Yusen broke up because they asked the crew for '5 million US dollars + box office dividend' and were rejected), but this price was only an estimate. Since entering Hollywood, Zhou Runfa's pay was also different from the calculations of domestic actors. He calculated by time, and according to the regulations of the United States, he only worked eight hours a day. The most annoying thing is that he had to calculate the pay based on time from the beginning of leaving the station. After more than eight hours, he had to calculate the overtime pay. This is a situation where Cheng Long and Li Lianjie would not have happened. Both of them participated in investment, and of course they could not count the working hours, so Zhou Runfa became an exception.
Shao Yingxiong finally knew why there were no outside crews asking him to film. In the future, his own pay was not allowed to make Huayi Performing Arts Network and other people overturned the crowd? During the chat, Shao Yingxiong reached out to search the Internet. After watching it, he was really shocked. Their employees actually added a more joking number, 25 million - it's US dollars!
Shao Yingxiong, whose eyes trembled slightly, didn't say anything, and entered another thought. Because Zhou Runfa's name reminded him of the working status of the staff when he was filming abroad. He was very uncomfortable when he first filmed "The Walking Dead". He felt that he had just made some filming and was preparing to get off work... They not only had 8 hours of working hours, but also had weekends. If you want to get someone to work, you have to pay extra money!
"Brother, this week's Runfa... Oh, I'm not saying that the pay is high, I mean, 30 million is fine, can you fix the price and fix it to 30 million + dividends? This is China, not the United States. If you want to calculate the overtime pay based on eight hours a day in the United States, the extra time will be calculated based on overtime. In the end, it will be a confusing account that cannot be calculated. At that time, these will be a matter."
Jiang Wen heard Shao Yingxiong's worry and said, "Leave it to me, I can handle it."
This time, Shao Yingxiong can't continue. Zhou Runfa is a box office guarantee. Everyone knows it, but now Zhou Runfa is signed by a Hollywood company, so this is not a favor.
Gripping my teeth: "Then I won't care."
Shao Yingxiong continued to look down, Jiang Wen, 7 million (including director fees), Ge You, 4 million (don't panic, the price difference is not too much, it has been counted as the shrinkage in 2008. If Mr. Ge hadn't gone to Hollywood for a long time, the price would be much more than that), Li Li, 3.4 million, and the promotional fee was 30 million.
This is still a visible account. There are many invisible accounts in the crew. Shao Yingxiong did not ask in detail, nor did he advise Jiang Wen to use special effects instead of real scenes. The main reason is that there are not many things in this drama that were filmed in magnificent scenes. If special effects were used, it would increase the cost and would not save much.
"Okay, the total cost of this drama is 100 million. Brother, the company's money has been tight recently. You have to exceed your budget. Tell me in advance. It's hard to catch money now." In order to dispel Jiang Wen's doubts, Shao Yingxiong added: "It's not a Mandarin."
Jiang Wen didn't take it seriously, and the two of them couldn't make any mistakes over this.
If Shao Yingxiong hadn't built a contrast studio, he wouldn't have made any comments on Zhou Runfa's pay. The original investor in this movie was a rich second generation. Shao Yingxiong had just made his family secrets on the surface, so he had the intention of being petty.
Zhou Runfa's value fluctuations in Hollywood are also very interesting. After he became popular in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", he received a sky-high salary of $10 million in "Bulletproof Monk". However, the value is not continuous. If an actor cannot produce a better movie for a period of time, his salary will fall like a dive, which is so fast that it is shattering. From 2003 to 2006, Zhou Runfa's salary dropped directly to $2 million in "The Golden Armor in the City", although there are some
The friendship price component of the movie Zhang Yimou is very incredible. Because Zhou Runfa’s value in "The Golden Armor in the City" has risen a little, so the price of "Red Cliff" is asking for a $5 million salary. Unfortunately, this price ruined his 20-year brotherhood with Wu Yusen. The rumor that Zhou Runfa finally achieved the highest salary of $15 million in Hollywood is just nonsense among the media. If Zhou Runfa pays $15 million, how much does Cheng Long have to pay?
