Illiterate top class: three years of poor performance, become a superstar

Chapter 348 Directly announce the release on November [-]

"..."

At the lunch table, Chen Yifan, Li Cheng, and Zhuang Hui chatted for a long time.

There is only one theme over and over again.

Special effects team, post-production team, can you complete all processes within a month?

I emphasized again and again not to talk nonsense. Money matters are not within the scope of the discussion. Just talk about whether it can be done.

Nagging, nagging, Xu Nian felt like his whole head was buzzing.

Fortunately, he is just an ordinary actor. Once the film is finished, everything has nothing to do with him. He just works.

Anyway, he is an actor who doesn't even get paid.

This time it’s still 0 pay.

And there is no such preferential treatment as the total box office share in the past.

After careful discussions, the box office share was divided into several very detailed parts.

Of the roughly 37% share that belongs to the film studio, 65% of the revenue belongs to the management, 30% to the lead actor Xu Nian, and 5% to other creative members.

The employer is responsible for all expenses that do not participate in profit sharing.

For example, currently among the main creative members, only a few directors can get a share of the box office. Actor Long actually does not appear in many scenes, but it is just for fun.

Most of the remaining behind-the-scenes staff, actors, etc. receive salaries agreed upon in advance.

After all, the total investment is as much as [-] million, which is actually quite sufficient.

The summary is that Xu Nian, as an actor, will always be the biggest exception in the box office share.

However, this time the actual share that actor Xu Nian can get may be less than before.

Taking the box office of 10 billion as an example, based on the previous highest 10% share of the total box office, actor Xu Nian can get 1 million before tax.

The current model requires more than 36% of the film's share before Xu Nian can get more than 1 million.

比如最理想状态的37%，那就是10*0.37*0.3，1.11亿，多出来1100万。

Simply put, this is the highest score an actor can get.

What’s interesting here is that The Wandering Earth needs a box office of at least 22 billion in order for the management to break even.

The largest employer among them is Tianyue, who can be said to be the innocent one.

Because other players who participate in the investment can get extra shares.

Regarding the revenue sharing from copyright operations, aside from the capital sharing, actor Xu Nian’s copyright revenue is very high, as much as 2.5%.

It's very likely that it will be more than the employer's share.

Because Xu Nian, as an actor, has always only counted the total income from copyright operations when receiving copyright sharing, and does not care about the specific net income.

As an employer, you can only share the net income proportionally...

In the end, after repeated discussions and weighing, Li Cheng and the others finally decided to make something big happen at this finals banquet.

then……

"President Xu, look, it's better for you to take action on this matter."

"Uncle Long, we can't talk very well. We're still a little anxious. Please help."

"..."

Xu Nian looked at Li Cheng and the others: "No, how can you be sure that Uncle Long will be fine today, and it's already afternoon..."

"Then if the amount of publicity is not enough, it has nothing to do with us if the box office is low."

"Where did you learn how to deflect conflicts?"

"Nothing else, self-taught without a teacher!"

"6."

Xu Nian never expected that one day it would be his turn to say "6".

To be honest, if you are not short of money, you will not be short of money. If you have money, you still have to earn it.

Moreover, the success of The Wandering Earth represents a lot of meaning. It has been completed, and the rest can be called marketing help.

There’s not much to say.

Xu Nian quickly and honestly contacted Dragon Movie Emperor and asked him to take time to come to Qingdao.

Fortunately, Movie Emperor Long has nothing important at hand, and it only takes more than two hours to fly from Hong Kong, so he can catch up.

After getting the exact news, Li Cheng did not hesitate at all and began to mobilize his network resources in the circle and invite the media.

…………

At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the banquet part of Wandering Earth's final banquet ended, and media interviews began.

All processes have been prepared, with Chen Yifan, Li Cheng, and Zhuang Hui taking the lead, and the main actors such as Xu Nian, Han Duoduo, and Long Yingdi making a collective appearance.

Under the flashing lights of the movie, Li Cheng said in the middle: "Hello friends, thank you all for taking the time to come..."

"After more than two months of filming, The Wandering Earth has officially been completed..."

"..."

A simple opening remarks, followed by some simple sharing from the chief director Chen Yifan.

Recognition and praise for the performance of all actors during the filming process.

A sigh of relief on some of the difficulties encountered during the filming process.

Although Chen Yifan has no experience in directing large-scale projects independently, his ability to deal with the media is very proficient.

Overseas markets have always been sharper than domestic markets.

Internationally, the media is known for its boldness.

Speaking of such scenes, Chen Yifan can be said to have it at his fingertips.

Then it was the turn of Xu Nian, the absolute star. He smiled and said: "It's a good experience to be in the group." Just as the whole audience was waiting for the next step, Xu Nian had already handed over the microphone.

"???"

The whole place was full of question marks.

No, your Xu’s attack power is so vivid and lively that it’s gone even during the filming?

You were not like this before!

Fortunately, the actor Long has been tested for a long time, and he already reacted when he took the microphone: "This is a very good filming experience."

“It was a pleasure working with Xiao Xu, and I am very happy and fortunate that the younger generation has such an excellent and talented actor;

His performance on the set completely conquered me, and he is the best actor with a thousand faces in my mind;

I look forward to having some good cooperation opportunities in the future. "

"Now, I just hate being born thirty years too early!"

Actor Long used this sentence as the conclusion of his speech. The scene was completely silent at first, and then there were a lot of voices.

twittering.

He even almost interrupted the flow of his speech.

Fortunately, everyone knows that there will be an interview session later.

Then came Han Duoduo, who simply said: "The biggest gain is getting to know Teacher Xu."

“He taught me how to get into a better performing state.”

Then there were brief speeches from some other actors.

Finally, Li Cheng spoke again: "We invite all media friends here today because we want to take this opportunity to announce something."

"After our consultation and weighing, The Wandering Earth will be released in October at the latest."

"If possible, I would choose it during the prime time of November."

"Based on our experience in shooting, on-site special effects follow-up, and post-production special effects production in April and May, we are confident that we will be able to complete all post-production of the film within the next month!"

“In fact, even before this restart, more than 95% of the special effects shots required for all previous shooting materials had been completed!

Moreover, according to our latest expenditure statistics, we only spent 1.9 million on pre-production, prop production, special effects production, etc.;

The crew currently has a total of 3.1 million yuan in funding. All things that require time and cost can be replaced by funds!

In the end, we believe that we can achieve the ideal results!

We will also use facts to prove that our domestic film and television can also produce high-quality, large-scale special effects films! "

When Li Cheng announced the big news in one breath, the media reporters present no longer even cared about the small details.

One question after another was thrown directly to the creative team.

: “Can such a large project really be produced so quickly?”

: "It will be released on November [-], and there are only two short months. Can it really be made in time?"

: "Soft science fiction? Can Director Li reveal how many special effects shots there will be?"

: "..."

Li Cheng answered one by one: "Yes, the actual production efficiency is much higher than what everyone knows. It is already an industrialized industrial system."

"According to current estimates, we may need to produce more than 4000 special effects shots, and more than 1700 have been completed so far."

"The completed part is very shocking and has been unanimously approved by us. In fact, we have used a lot of computer vision technology to assist during the filming process, and the special effects have always been there."

"Finally, let me reiterate again, we are confident, capable and confident to present visual effects that will shock everyone!"

"..."

Although the news was shocking, media reporters were reluctant to let go of Actor Long and Xu Nian in the end.

: "Uncle Long, you just said that you only wish you were born thirty years earlier. Is that okay?"

Best Actor Long: "Literally speaking, only after you actually work with Xiao Xu will you know how enjoyable it is to act with him."

: "Mr. Xu, Uncle Long praises you so highly. What do you think?"

Xu Nian: "Then I'll thank Uncle Long for bringing hatred to me."

: "..."

: "Mr. Xu, aren't you very happy tonight? Why do you talk so little?"

Xu Nian: "I'm not the protagonist tonight. Let's focus on the key points. Don't force me to beg you~"

: "Okay, got it."

…………

It is obvious that as soon as such big news came out, Xiti immediately became a trending topic on the entire Internet.

Detonating cyberspace in minutes.

Both those who like melon and those who don't like melon are a little bit interested.

First of all, this time is very coincidental, it is the peak surfing season, and secondly, the Wandering Earth project has always attracted a lot of attention.

The Chinese people are looking forward to this kind of big-scale, big-budget movies, which will kill Hollywood.

Every time in the past it has been unsatisfactory.

And because this time Xu Nian, a very popular player who has become famous around the world, is taking the lead, the public has higher expectations.

More importantly, some previous reports showed the careful preparations of the Wandering Earth props team.

Now that I have seen detailed reports, I have learned that the crew is using the method of burning funds to meet the deadline, that more than 1700 special effects shots have been completed, and that it will most likely be released on November [-]. Who can resist beeping?

"Damn it, can I say that he deserves to be Xu Nian! He really has a bit of that awesomeness about him."

"It's so sudden to take the lead in setting up such a big stall and say it's done."

"Well, I think the news is actually quite conservative. I am an outsourced employee and participated in some special effects production. I lose my hair every day. The requirements are very high, but the money is very satisfying. The boss is thinking of switching to a BMW after finishing this job."

"You mean, the progress is actually smoother than what is announced now, and the production capabilities in all aspects are also very good, and the requirements are also very high?"

"Anyway, look forward to Eleven! It will definitely exceed your imagination, whether it's special effects or scenes!"
