Global Film Emperor: I film just to finish the movie!

Chapter 59 [059] The King Arrives

If you calculate carefully, there are really two hundred million!
Because Hua Shicheng didn't receive any remuneration.

If we add Hua Shicheng's salary, which is a maximum of 50 million, and add the publicity and promotion, the total cost may exceed 200 million.

Just like on Earth, there is a salary cap here.

The maximum salary for a single actor in a movie is limited to 50 million.

As for using tricks in private, that’s another matter. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get caught, but if you get caught, you will be punished to death.

Top-tier stars all receive a salary of 50 million plus a share of the box office revenue.

To this end, some people have come up with a list of the "50 million club" to compete with Hollywood's "20 million club".

But the latter is in US dollars, while the former is in RMB.

……

Clicking on the main text of the news, those who attended the project launch conference included Hua Shicheng, Yang Xian, Zhou Xingyun from Blue Whale, and the president of Dadi Pictures.

Hua Shicheng's words praising Su Ding and Yang Xian's frank words about the only one were all recorded.

Although Su Dingren was not present at the event, his fame spread.

It’s okay for ordinary people, at most they are curious and want to watch the fun, but people in the circle remember the name Su Ding.

With an investment of 200 million yuan, Huashicheng plays two leading roles!

The combined force of these two points reveals information that people who don't know the truth will only think that Su Ding's origins are mysterious and his background is shocking.

In particular, Zhou Xingyun was on the scene to cooperate and said that Su Ding was very outstanding and that more care should be taken for outstanding young actors.

Su Ding shook his head when he saw this.

"Brother Ding, you've become famous ahead of time." Gao Neng said excitedly.

Since Su Ding became famous, he naturally benefited from it.

"Being popular without works to back it up is not a good thing." Su Ding responded calmly, looked at it for a while, and returned the phone to Gaoneng.

"Is that so?" Gao Neng was puzzled.

"Of course, you will know if you pay more attention to the news in this area." Su Ding said, taking out his mobile phone and charging it.

How many traffic stars can last long?

……

After washing up and returning to bed, Su Ding picked up his still-charging phone and turned it on.

Then, the body of the phone vibrated "buzzingly", all from WeChat.

When I opened it, I saw that someone tagged Su Ding in the "Love Apartment" creative group chat", "The Best Time" creative group chat", "The Blood-Drinking Demonic Sword of the Martial Arts Leader" creative group chat and "Old Han's Family Group Chat".

Even the art school class group chat, which had been silent for several months, became active from the afternoon until the evening.

Hu Han, Jiang Kai, and Xu Linhuo even sent direct messages to congratulate them.

Xu Linhuo's congratulations were incidental, and his main purpose was to inform Su Ding that "Big Shot" would premiere the day after tomorrow, so that he could go to Beijing to attend if he had time.

Su Ding responded immediately, first wishing the film a big box office success, then expressing his gratitude, and finally expressing regret that he was filming in Hong Kong and could not go.

Xu Linhuo didn't reply, probably because he was busy.

Su Ding glanced at the other group chats but didn't say anything.

It's nothing more than congratulations, envy, and requests for red envelopes.

A movie with an investment of 200 million yuan, with Hua Shicheng as the dual protagonist, is a treatment that only first-line stars can get.

Su Ding, a young artist who graduated half a year ago, did it.

Isn't that enviable?

Although Hu Han is a second-tier actor, he follows the TV drama route and has only made one low-budget romance film, which is also not immune to clichés.

These are still good.

The students in the class group who originally changed their careers are what are funny. Their sarcastic and sour tone can be felt even through the network.

Because they knew Su Ding's background, a poor student from an orphanage, with nothing at all!

It’s almost like selling your ass!
Faced with these remarks, Huang Yuanhe, Qian Yu and others in the group retorted on the spot.

They are the ones who experienced it firsthand and know best how "The Departed" came about.

From "The Twins" to "The Departed", Su Ding did not contribute much, but played a key role.

Yang Xian was trapped in his own vicious circle and could never break out. Without Su Ding's enlightenment, it would take him many years to wake up.

...Su Ding saw the commotion in the outside world, but he ignored it all and chose to ignore it.

I looked at the time and called Han Yi.

"Old Han, what's the matter?"

As soon as the call was connected, Su Ding asked directly, "I already know what happened at the press conference for the project launch of 'Infernal Affairs'."

"That's good to know." Han Yi responded from the other end, "Don't accept any media interviews on this matter..."

"It doesn't seem possible." Su Ding interrupted. "The director just came over and told me about the press conference. He also said that Hong Kong media will be interviewing the set tomorrow. However, he will prepare a speech, mainly to promote 'SPL'."

"……Fine."

Han Yi paused and continued, "There's another thing. A pig feed factory in Dongshan Province came to us and asked you to shoot a commercial for 500,000 yuan. What do you think..."

"Push it to someone else," Su Ding interrupted directly. "I'm still filming here. Even if I wrap it up, I have to join the set of 'A Better Tomorrow' right away. I may not even have time to go home for the New Year. After that, I have to film 'The Departed' again. How can I have time to go to Dongshan to shoot a commercial?"

"..."

Han Yi was silent for a while, then said, "Okay, I understand. It's late, you should get some rest."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

"Pig feed?"

Su Ding put away his phone and shook his head.

Not everything can be endorsed as an advertisement.

Once you are labeled, it will be difficult to take on other high-end brands.

However, the owner of this feed factory is also a cunning guy. Seeing him acting with Hua Shicheng, he wanted to take a gamble.

Shoot the commercial in advance, and then see if Su Ding’s popularity will increase. Once Su Ding becomes popular, he will make a lot of money!

……

……

the next day.

When Su Ding arrived at the set, everyone he met greeted him with a smile.

Recommended by Hua Shicheng, but playing one of the two protagonists with Hua Shicheng is two different things.

Only people in the circle know how important the latter is.

Only Liu Junlong immediately avoided Su Ding when he saw him from afar. It seemed that Gu Nantian did not lie, and he talked to him again later.

That's good.

Since no one is causing trouble, Su Ding can rest assured.

In the middle of the morning, a Hong Kong media outlet contacted by the crew came to the set.

Su Ding followed the lines he had memorized in advance and answered questions with the reporter, completing the interview. Finally, the two sides shook hands and said goodbye.

……

With a good atmosphere on the set, the filming progress naturally accelerated.

In less than half a month, Su Ding's scenes were almost finished.

For the remaining part, Tang Zhui needs to go abroad together.

Fortunately, this local Hong Kong A-list star returned to Hong Kong two days earlier than expected and arrived at the set that afternoon.

"Hello, Su Ding."

Tang Zhui, a handsome man with slightly curly hair, short stature, and sharp features, extended his hand to Su Ding and greeted him in Cantonese, "It's a pleasure to act with you."

"Hello, Brother Tang, I am also honored to act with you." Su Ding smiled and stretched out his hand to shake hands with Tang Zhui.

Although he really wanted to say that he grew up listening to Tang Zhui's songs.

Compared to the film industry, Tang Zhui has achieved much greater success in the music industry.
