China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 777 I was just careless

Xu Zheng and other main creators, who had already opened the champagne, were extremely worried.

The movie has just been released and the situation seems to be very good.

The prototype of the protagonist took the crew to court and threatened to fight the case to the end.

If this situation continues, it will definitely have a certain impact on the performance of the film.

In order to resolve this crisis, the crew immediately sent someone to negotiate with Lu Yong.

As long as Lu Yong’s request was not excessive, they would agree.

We should not make things bigger at this time. It is a wise choice to make big things small and small things nothing.

The crew had already prepared for Lu Yong to ask for a huge amount of money.

As a result, they found that they had underestimated others.

In reality, there are people who don’t love money. Although such people are rare, they do exist.

Lu Yong did not fight for any benefits for himself.

At this time, if he asked the crew to pay millions of dollars in reputation loss compensation, the crew would definitely not refuse him.

But he didn't do that.

He simply asked the crew to donate two million to help patients, and then increase the amount by three hundred thousand for every additional one hundred million in box office revenue.

The crew agreed to Lu Yong's conditions without even having to hold a meeting to discuss them.

It's worth spending such a small amount of money to settle this matter.

Moreover, the crew's donation to charity organizations can also become a point of promotion for the film.

With the popularity of "Dying to Survive", the total box office reached 1 billion on the fourth day of its official release.

ps: These are only the four days of the official release. The five or six days of preview activities are not counted in the official release time.

If the days of preview activities are also counted, it should take about ten days to exceed one billion.

But the producers will definitely not promote it this way.

Breaking the billion mark in ten days and breaking the billion mark in four days are not the same concept. It is definitely more eye-catching to publicize breaking the billion mark in four days, and it is easier to attract passers-by to enter the theater and become new audiences.

If we exclude Li Yu, Xu Zheng, Ning Hao and other people who participated in the investment of the film, the biggest beneficiaries of the film should be Han Jiayi and Wang Chuanjun.

Needless to say, Han Jiayi is a new screenwriter.

Her first work as an editor is so great. She has established herself in this circle. If she maintains a stable performance, it is not impossible for her to become a famous editor.

Another person who benefited greatly was Wang Chuanjun.

Wang Chuanjun had already hit a career low before starring in Medicine God.

Half of the entertainment industry is praising the King of Sunglasses and saying that they like him.

He was just a small actor and he said "I don't like it" at a very inappropriate time, which slapped the face of King of Sunglasses and those stars who said they liked it.

A troublemaker like him will definitely be ostracized by everyone.

It is rumored that he was banned because of this incident.

No one asked him to film for nearly a year, and he felt anxious every day looking at the one million deposit in his card.

All I can say is that the floors of celebrities who are somewhat famous are higher than the ceilings of most ordinary people.

He was very anxious when he saw the more than one million yuan in the card. Most people cannot save up one million yuan in their lifetime.

But for Wang Chuanjun, this was indeed a low point.

From then on, he began to concentrate on honing his acting skills and seeking transformation.

Then, as luck would have it, he met the character of Lu Shouyi.

This good role and his hard work enabled him to successfully break the stereotype of Guan Gu Shenqi, become an actor with acting skills, and successfully enter the film industry.

In the future, he will continue to star in films such as "Unknown" and "All or Nothing", and his career is becoming more and more prosperous. He also became an actor in the "Love Apartment" series, one of the few people who can still rise higher after leaving "Love Apartment".

Life is so interesting sometimes. Once you hit rock bottom, you can climb higher when you climb again.

Li Yu returned to Xiamen after attending the premiere of "Dying to Survive".

After the official release of "Dying to Survive", he even booked a theater and invited the crew members of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" to watch the movie.

In addition to treating everyone to a movie, Li Yu also treated the entire crew to a big dinner.

There is no way. If you make money, you have to bleed, right?
The production cost of "Dying to Survive" was 100 million yuan, and Li Yu invested 60 million yuan, accounting for 60% of the film's shares.

As of today, the box office of "Dying to Survive" has exceeded 1 billion.

If I could reach three billion like in the previous life.

At a return rate of one third, that would be a profit of 10 billion.

After deducting the marketing costs and the profit shared by Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, Li Yu said that he had earned at least 400 to 500 million yuan.

Accidentally earned a medium goal.

Shen Teng, Liu Yifei, Chang Yuan and other actors were very envious when they saw Li Yu accidentally making a lot of money again.

Liu Yifei, who is the most successful among them, makes money much slower than Li Yu.

Not to mention Shen Teng and Chang Yuan, the money Li Yu earned from one movie was many times more than what they had earned in all these years.

Shen Teng has only become popular again in recent years.

I didn’t make much money before, but after becoming famous in recent years, my income started to grow rapidly.

Chang Yuan, he has never been truly popular, nor has he ever played a leading role, or it can be said that he does not have the ability to be a leading actor.

It's okay to play a supporting role, but it stands out in the movie.

If he were really made the protagonist, he wouldn't be able to carry a movie like Shen Teng.

So he doesn't need to mention it.

Seeing everyone's envious expressions, Li Yu spread his hands and said helplessly: "Actually, I don't want to do it either. Screenwriter Han Jiayi and director Wen Muye have searched for various film companies and investors. Except for a few people like Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, few people are optimistic about this film, and no one is willing to invest money.

Later they approached me. My Dream Association had just been established and the slogan of supporting directors and screenwriters was put out. Could I refuse? No.

I had no choice but to invest 60 million yuan, and accidentally became the largest investor in this movie.

The crew of this movie is really good, and I accidentally made some money again."

When everyone heard this, they wanted to beat him up even more.

Translate! What does it mean to accidentally become the largest investor in a movie? What does it mean to accidentally make money?
Why haven't they encountered such opportunities to make a lot of money accidentally?
It's really Versailles.

"If I could be like Director Li in my life and make money accidentally once, once would be enough." Shen Teng said enviously.

“If you want to make money accidentally like me, you must first be willing to pay. I invested because everyone was unwilling to invest. Everyone was not optimistic, which means the risk is high.

If Medicine God doesn't succeed, my 60 million will be wasted and I won't get any money back."

Li Yu said.

Shen Teng thought there was nothing wrong with it.

That’s right. Even if the opportunity was in front of him, he probably wouldn’t have the courage like Li Yu to invest money.

Although I envy him, I am also really impressed by him.

After everyone had left, Liu Yifei returned.

"Li Yu, Lu Yong said in the interview that you took 20 million to help those patients." Liu Yifei said.

“Why are you suddenly saying this? I just feel that since I made money by investing in Lu Yong’s story, I should use a portion of it to help those who are experiencing the same hardships as Lu Yong.” Li Yu replied.
