Chapter 198 Action Superstar (Please subscribe! Please ask for a monthly pass!)
...

The box office of "Escape" reached more than 1 million in the first week.

Although, starting from next week, the May Day holiday is over, the box office of "Escape" will definitely go down.

But even so, the final box office of "Escape" will definitely exceed 2 million.

Usually the investor can get one-third of the box office, that is to say, if the final box office of "Escape" is really 2 million, then the investors of "Escape" can get 6666.67 million.

Don't think it's over.

wrong.

In addition to traditional theater income, investors also have some platform income.

Unlike the early years when producers could only make money from theaters, now, for some films, platform income is the bulk of investor income.

(This has also led to many movies that are not competitive in theaters. Now, if you just give up the theaters and only show them on the platform, you can still make a lot of money.)
And if a movie becomes popular in theaters and has a good reputation, then under normal circumstances, it can also sell a lot of money on the platform.

Judging from the current trend of "Escape", it will definitely be no problem to sell another 1 million on the platform.

The investor and the platform are usually split [-]-[-].

In other words, the investor can still get at least 5000 million from the platform.

Putting it all together, "Escape" can recover at least 1 or 1 million.

Remember, this is just the minimum!
If the situation is better, after deducting the cost of more than 3000 million, the investor of "Escape" should be able to earn at least 1 million!

Absolutely a huge profit! ! !
"Escape" can even be said to be a model of small cost and big counterattack.

Let's put it this way, if you invest 2 million yuan to make a film, and get 5 million box office, after deducting a lot of expenses, you get one-third of it, and you may actually lose money.

But "Escape" has a small profit and a big profit, earning several times.

Wang Bin and other investors in "Escape" can wake themselves up laughing even when they are sleeping.

It is precisely because of the success of "Escape" that Wang Bin and others accelerated the pace of preparation for "Escape 2".

According to Wang Bin and others, since "Escape" is so successful, it must try to use the original crew to shoot "Escape 2".

But the idea is full, but the reality is skinny.

Although because of the great success of "Escape", Wang Bin is willing to make concessions to Lin Da, um...more precisely, to Qian.

However, this is just Wang Bin's wishful thinking.

Because of the unhappy cooperation, Linda is no longer willing to cooperate with Wang Bin and the others, even if Wang Bin and the others are willing to raise Linda's money, and are even willing to take Linda into a stake.

Of course, the reason why Linda is so decisive is not only because he and Wang Bin did not get along well, and everyone has a different attitude towards the movie, but also because "Escape" was a big success, Linda is now rising, and everyone is begging for it. Let Lin Da become a director, Lin Da can do whatever you want, Lin Da really doesn't need to cooperate with Wang Bin and others who always want to force him to use Pan Xiaowei, Ren Lili and others who always want to point fingers at his works .

Wang Bin regretted not being able to persuade Linda to cooperate with him again, but at the same time Wang Bin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

From Wang Bin's point of view, Linda is really too stubborn, hard-headed, and doesn't know how to adapt at all. It is really tiring to cooperate with Linda.

To be honest, if it wasn't for the success of "Escape", Wang Bin would definitely not want to cooperate with Linda again.

Linda's resolute attitude of no longer cooperating now just makes Wang Bin no longer have to worry about it.

In fact, Wang Bin has had enough of these so-called big directors.

Therefore, Wang Bin, who consciously played a larger role in the success of "Escape", had a bold idea, which is to cultivate a director who listens to his own words.

Moreover, Wang Bin already has a suitable candidate.

This person is Zhang Hongbo.

Wang Bin's hobbies are somewhat different, that is, he only loves his wife.

This is almost an open secret in the circle.

But Wang Bin is very measured in his actions. He never uses force, and he does it all on his own accord, so no one says anything about him.

Zhang Hongbo's wife, Zeng Xiaohui, was once a well-known porn star. Later, Jinpan washed her hands and married Zhang Hongbo, who was only a photographer's assistant at the time, and she was also married to love.

Later, relying on Zeng Xiaohui's relationship and personal efforts, Zhang Hongbo climbed up step by step and gradually became a director.

When Zhang Hongbo was a director, he was a well-known Kuaishou director. At that time, he was a real executive in filming. All big and small plays were handed over to him without exceeding the budget. , nothing else, the filming is over.

Zhang Hongbo made four or five films a year when he was filming, no problem.Give him the Kuaishou show, and he will give you a 70-point work every minute, no matter how high it is, no matter how low it is.Take the money to do things, filming is like running water, the spirit of the author?Sorry, Zhang Hongbo may not know that there is such a thing in the world.

To put it bluntly, the biggest advantage of Zhang Hongbo is his obedience.

But Zhang Hongbo also has a problem, that is lust.

A few years ago when filming in Hong Kong Province, Zhang Hongbo molested an actress, and was slapped by that actress in public.

And this matter is not over yet, the actress turned out to be the mistress of a very powerful boss in Hong Kong Province.

It is said that Zeng Xiaohui stayed with the boss for three days, and Zhang Hongbo paid the boss a large sum of money, so the boss let Zhang Hongbo go.

But even so, no one would use Zhang Hongbo anymore because of the fear of that boss and disdain for Zhang Hongbo's character, so that Zhang Hongbo had no scenes to shoot for four or five years.

In those few years, Zhang Hongbo and Zeng Xiaohui lived in poverty.

Zhang Hongbo was not able to return to filming until he got to know Wang Bin and the big guy passed away not long ago.

It can be said that Wang Bin is very kind to Zhang Hongbo.

As for why Wang Bin reused Zhang Hongbo, of course it was also because of Zeng Xiaohui.

but--

It's okay, it's a big deal, Wang Bin and Zeng Xiaohui just broke up.

Zeng Xiaohui was originally a porn star who could do her best.

Moreover, Zhang Hongbo built a bridge between Wang Bin and Zeng Xiaohui, how could Zhang Hongbo care about this?

The key is Zhang Hongbo's performance during the filming of "Escape", which Wang Bin saw in his eyes.

In Wang Bin's view, Zhang Hongbo can do everything Linda can do.

In addition, it is cheaper to use Zhang Hongbo.

Anyway, Wang Bin felt that Zhang Hongbo was better than Linda everywhere.

In fact, when he was thinking about shooting "Escape 2", Wang Bin had already thought about using Zhang Hongbo as the director.

Of course, it was also because the wind was blowing well beside Zeng Xiaohui's pillow.

All in all, Zhang Hongbo became the director of "Escape 2" through various reasons such as the general trend, personal efforts, wife's efforts, and cost performance.

After Zhang Hongbo took the stage, the first idea he gave Wang Bin was: "Boss, if we want to replicate the success of "Escape" in "Escape 2", we must have one person."

"Who?" Wang Bin asked.

"Yu Qingyun." Zhang Hongbo said a name that was both unexpected and reasonable to Wang Bin.

Wang Bin asked calmly: "Is Yu Qingyun so important?"

"It's very important. Yu Qingyun is a born action superstar. If I had to choose, I would rather let Yu Qingyun be the leading actor in "Escape 2". He is Yu Lianying's younger brother, unlike his elder brother who is ambitious and law-breaking, his younger brother is born with integrity and kindness, he is a rare good policeman..."
