Chapter 543 No reason!

Wang Baoqiang and Xu Guangtou have been a bit at odds recently.

Xu Guangtou became famous in one fell swoop by virtue of "囧囧 in Thailand". In "囧太囧", he won the leading role in the film, and remotely offered him a top-level remuneration of 2500 million + 10% dividends. Director three jobs.

This year he will start filming the new film "囧" series "囧囧", and he still invites Bao Keung to join.

But Po Keung proposed to take a stake in "Hong Kong囧" to participate in dividends.

Xu Shanzheng refused, and Wang Baoqiang's tone began to blur.

In fact, there was a gap between the two in "Thailand".

Huang Bo's studio invested in "Lost in Thailand" and earned a lot of dividends, which made Baoqiang very jealous.

After Huang Bo quit "囧囧 in Hong Kong", Bao Qiang felt that he should get a dividend.

The "囧" series is now the number one gold-lettered signboard of domestic series. The production cycle of the "Painted Skin" series is too long, and its ability to absorb money cannot compare with it. Everyone knows that "Hong Kong囧" is bound to be a hit. The reason why he is willing to pay dividends to Wang Baoqiang.

Knowing that it's a big hit, you want to pay dividends for stepping in. Is there such a good thing?

The bald head gave Wang Baoqiang a salary of 1300 million, which was higher than his salary in "Lost in Thailand", but Wang Baoqiang insisted on a dividend: "I don't want a cent of the salary, can you give me a 10% dividend?"

The three parties couldn't reach an agreement, Bao Keung resigned from "Lost in Thailand".

Yuan Yuan took another new film to Bao Qiang, saying that this is a brand new film, and if the first film does well at the box office, it will be made into a series.

"This is an attempt that no Chinese film has ever done. If you want, the company is willing to give you dividends."

Bao Qiang was a little moved when he heard that there would be dividends, but he still chose to read the script first.

After reading the script, he asked about the cast.

"The partner with you is a kid named Liu Haoran, born in 97."

"17 years old! What kind of play will he play!" Wang Baoqiang heard that his partner was only 17 years old, so he didn't believe the play.

"He will have a movie released in a few days called "BJ's Love Story". You can go and see it. This kid is good and very aura.

"I know that you are going to shoot Director Chen's "The Taoist Descending the Mountain" this year. Our film is not so fast, the script is still being revised, and it will start at the end of this year at the earliest. Don't worry, you should go back and think about it first."

Wang Baoqiang left with the script and full of emotions.

Among the actors, those who can act are not as good as him, and those who can act are not necessarily as good as him.

But limited by his image and foundation, Bao Qiang's screen image has always been fixed.

Of course, he did a good job. The role of Baobao Wang would be annoying if he was not careful, but Wang Baoqiang made people like him when he played it.

He didn't have time to think about the new movie given remotely, because Chen Kaige's "Taoist Descending the Mountain" will be launched in a few days, and he has to rush to Ji Province immediately.

"Detective Chinatown" was an idea provided by a screenwriter who was a fan of detective novels in the company, but when the film was reviewed internally, the quality was considered average.

It is difficult to make crime movies in China. Even if "Detective Chinatown" took place in a foreign Chinatown by coincidence-this also leaves room for sequels. There are so many Chinatowns and Chinatowns in the world. As long as you can come up with exciting case, the film can continue to be filmed.

But what the company is worried about is that the story of "Detective Chinatown" is not about the crime or the case itself, but focuses on solving the case, which will lose part of the audience.

Mystery novels are a major category in genre literature, but Chinese reasoning culture is very small, and the company is also worried that this kind of reasoning-focused movie will really hit the market, and audiences will not accept it.

But the production department didn't show this film to Cheng Yu'an. If Cheng Yu'an had to check on this kind of film with a cost of 6000 to [-] million, then these old producers should hang themselves in the company one by one.

The estimated production cost of "Detective Chinatown" is about 5000 million yuan, of which the actors' remuneration does not exceed 2000 million yuan. With the post-publicity and distribution, the total cost should be controlled within [-] million yuan.

The original space-time "Tang Detective 1" boasted a cost of 2 million yuan, which is absolutely false. An experienced producer can roughly estimate the cost by just looking at the script and cast.

…………

As of Lunar New Year's Eve, "Terror Live" was released for 15 days, and the total box office in the mainland reached 4.2 million, setting a new record for Andy Lau in the mainland box office.

However, after 15 days of its release, it has also entered a period of film weakness. "Horror Live" has not become a phenomenon-level Lunar New Year blockbuster. With this achievement, it is safe to let the market go to successors. Not too much of an issue.

This year's Lunar New Year's Day is the year with the most intense competition for Spring Festival slots. Four films were released that day, and Disney's "Frozen", which swept the world this year, was also released on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year.

"Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" was the first to make a big splash. At the press conference, director Zheng Baorui said bluntly that the special effects of "Havoc in Heaven" "are not afraid to be compared with Hollywood blockbusters like "Lord of the Rings".

When asked, "Havoc in Heaven" will inevitably be compared with Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" last year, is there any pressure?

He said with a smile: "We are not a competition. I very much hope that more people will come to film "Journey to the West". This is a healthy competition. I have nothing to fear. My friends around me dare not mention "Journey to the West" in front of me." "Conquering the Devil", in fact, it's really no problem for me."

Then, with 33.4% of the first day's film schedule, it raked in 1.28 million box office!
Breaking the highest box office record on the first day of the Chinese film market, the highest single-day box office record in the Chinese film market, the first Chinese-language film with a box office of over 5 million on the first day, the fastest Chinese-language film to exceed 12 million, and the highest-grossing film on Chinese New Year's Day in Chinese film history [-] items In one fell swoop, it injected super stimulant into the Lunar New Year file, which has been sluggish since early December last year.

The whole market is crazy!
It is agreed that "Havoc in Heaven" will sweep the entire Spring Festival.

The data of several other competitors have also been released one after another. The "Predecessor Raiders" produced remotely only had 600 million on that day.

Hmph, you also have today remotely!
"The Wind and Cloud of Macau" is a little bit better. After all, Wang Jing + Fa Ge is a long-lost gambling movie. The first day's income was 2600 million, which is a bit small for this lineup, but it can still be watched.

"Can any of you explain why "Where Are We Going, Dad" has 9400 million views!"

This movie is ranked second in the same schedule, as high as 30%, which makes no sense!
"Variety movies, who came up with this idea, genius."

"Is this a movie?"

"Don't worry about whether he counts or not. He broadcast it in the cinema and made money."

"How about we put "Running Man" on it?"

"Okay, okay," Zhong Lifang came to the production department to preside over the meeting today, and knocked on the table, "A movie like "Where Are We Going, Dad" doesn't make sense, he just brought a popular phenomenon-level variety show to the big screen After all, it is an extremely fan-oriented movie. Unlike "Little Times", "Little Times" may also attract some non-original fans to the theater, and films like "Where Are We Going, Dad" , except for fans of the show, almost no one else went to watch it."

"Then its box office is too exaggerated, "Havoc in Heaven" received 1.28 million, and it can still grab 9000 million."

"This is the money-absorbing ability of a popular star variety show. Mango Channel has talent."

Pay attention to the two words here, explosion + star.

Only by going to the stars can a more comprehensive audience be covered, and online programs do not have such capabilities.

At this stage, online variety shows have not developed, and they simply do not have the ability to stand up to the star variety shows. When online variety shows develop, variety show movies will not be allowed.
