I'm a Transmigrated Woman Who Is the CEO's Arranged Bride

……

Shen Yue used to believe the saying, "Seeing is believing, hearing is deceiving."

It wasn't until she finished watching Taiga's film that she understood.

I have serious doubts about this statement.

Seeing is believing, but it's all just an illusion.

The person on the screen is her, the things she did are her actions, and the words she spoke should also be true.

But that's not what I meant at all.

How was it filmed?

She felt like she had been working for over a month, almost two months, and it was very solid. In Xiao Fu's words, including overtime, it was equivalent to four months, and she got along well with everyone.

The two male leads often come over to help.

Sometimes it can be helpful, sometimes it can be counterproductive.

They often end up making things worse than helpful.

She chatted and talked with them normally.

There are no bubbles of love here.

But it's in the movie! oΣ(⊙▽⊙"a）o(╯□╰)o!!

It feels like every scene of them together is there.

Every scene felt like love.

The director actually managed to capture the wind on film; the wind in the movie is ambiguous and fluid.

Are the people on the big screen really ourselves?

Shen Yue is very pretty, above average in looks. This generation of capitalists doesn't have many ugly children, since their parents aren't ugly either.

After Sister Shan from the station helped her with her makeover, she looked absolutely stunning. A professional makeup artist can turn something rotten into something magical, making it even easier for her to fix her already good-looking face.

None of these can match Xiuxiu's appearance on the big screen.

Shen Yue recalled that her makeup wasn't done very carefully back then; it was all very natural. Sometimes she would have mud spots on her face from working, and she would sweat, and her hair would be a bit messy...

How could this effect be achieved? At the time, she didn't understand why the director made the cameraman climb the cliff, why the director pushed the camera track, why the director was so verbose, with so many lights and so many lenses. She felt that it could have been filmed with a mobile phone...

The Xiuxiu on the big screen is much, much prettier than the magician Shen Yue remembers looking up at and seeing her fly in the sky.

Every time Xiuxiu appears, the screen seems to brighten considerably, and the audience's pupils change accordingly.

With that kind of looks and presence, he'd be a force to be reckoned with in the cultivation world. It's possible that a sect elder would accept him as a disciple based solely on his appearance.

In the cultivation world, anything that reaches its peak is considered to possess spiritual energy and is therefore considered special.

In Shen Yue's limited vocabulary and thoughts, the only way to describe Xiu Xiu on the big screen is to say that the director captured the pure beauty of the only cultivator in the Dharma-ending Age.

  

The shock was indescribable.

Narcissus was so captivated by her own reflection in the water that she died of ecstasy.

Shen Yue felt that if she stared at Xiuxiu like this every day, she might also become obsessed.

Fortunately, movies are movies, and life is life; they are different.

Even knowing it was fake, Shen Yue found herself with tear-streaked face after watching the movie. She didn't know what made her cry, and there didn't seem to be anything to cry about, but tears still flowed.

The whole movie theater didn't feel like watching a movie; it felt like peeling an onion together, layer by layer, with tears flowing again and again.

Peel back the onion and you'll see a tiny white heart inside—that's your purest self. Take a bite, and it'll be sweet and painful, without the sourness of an onion. It's simply sweet, yet also very fragile.

Shen Yue thought the movie was good.

very nice.

It's so good that it can make a body cultivator who only wants to become powerful cry. It's really not your average watch. Director Taihe is really good at making things up.

In the future, we must show more respect to cultural figures such as directors and screenwriters. When cultural figures start to make things up, they can turn the dead into the living, the false into the true, and the true into the false.

If Shen Yue hadn't acted in the film herself, she would have been fooled by the scenes on screen.

Fortunately, she has a strong character!

No wonder Ren Jinyu looked away from her, blushed, and her ears turned red. Chen Zijin also talked to her every day and sent her messages like "good morning," which made Shen Yue think that he had become a micro-business owner. Could it be that they were fooled by the director and took the fake for the real?

The growth of inner demons can be considered a work-related injury; I wonder if I'll get compensation.

The premiere has ended.

But the movie didn't end.

The talented director Taiga has once again delivered a perfect performance to the audience, not only achieving a perfect score but also answering all the bonus questions.

The positive reviews from film critics are not surprising.

Arthouse film directors are highly regarded by film critics.

But the audience's reaction is the most direct.

Don't look at whether the audience praises it or not; look at whether the audience spends money on it.

If audiences are willing to pay to go to the cinema to watch it, then that's good.

If audiences pay to see a movie a second time, that's excellent.

If audiences pay to see a movie a third time, that's what makes it a legendary film.

A viewer who pays to see a movie a fourth time might also have four girlfriends (or boyfriends).

The box office was a huge success.

Tap water.

Audience member: If it's good, I'll promote it myself. You don't need to spend any money. I'll promote it myself.

Almost everyone who has seen it is willing to share it on WeChat Moments, Xiaohongshu, Douyin, Weibo, and various other social media platforms.

Why should I be the only one crying? Come on, all of you, cry together!

One person's grief is grief, a group's grief is celebration, and a generation's grief is part of the historical process.

The audience may not be liberal arts students and may not be able to describe the story content. In fact, the story is very simple and not very complicated, but it still brings tears to people's eyes. Perhaps this is the charm of the big screen.

This also reflects the director's ability.

Shen Yue's contract with the production team was negotiated by Deputy Director Xiao of the TV station. The guaranteed salary she received was not high, just the price for a newcomer. As the female lead, she would only receive a few hundred thousand yuan, after all, she was a complete newcomer. Compared to Chen Zijin, she received a lot, while Chen Zijin's price was only tens of thousands of yuan.

However, Chen Zijin was also very grateful. Others would be willing to pay hundreds of thousands of yuan for this opportunity, and he, a complete newcomer, was able to act in it and even get paid. What more could he ask for?

Ren Jinyu's price will be relatively high; he's the highest in terms of star power.

However, when Vice President Xiao discusses cooperation, he usually prepares several plans.

It's okay if we can't offer a high salary. We're very optimistic about your project. We'll just give you a small guarantee upfront, and we can discuss profit sharing. We're betting on your success. If the film is a box office hit, we'll get a share of the profits. If it doesn't, I'll consider it a pledge of our partnership and won't take any extra money.

Vice President Xiao spoke of this with ease.

Therefore, Shen Yue's salary is based on a guaranteed minimum plus revenue sharing model.

Once the box office revenue reaches a certain level, exceeding a certain threshold, Shen Yue is entitled to a share of the profits.

Vice President Xiao concluded by discussing a guaranteed minimum plus an 8.7% commission.

Because of the total cost of this drama, Director Dahe calculated that it was approximately 1500 million yuan.

As long as the box office reaches 5000 million, it will be profitable.

Box office revenue has a complex calculation formula.

Normally, for every 100 yuan in box office revenue, 5% must be paid to the Film Industry Development Special Fund and 3.3% to value-added tax.

The remaining 91.7% is the net box office.

It cannot be distributed yet; a distribution agency fee of approximately 1%-3% must be paid first. (Note: China Film Digital Cinema Development (Beijing) Co., Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Film Co., Ltd., collects 1%-3% of the net box office revenue as a distribution agency fee, referred to as the "China Film Digital Cinema Distribution Fee".)

After paying, there's about 90 left, so we can start dividing the money.

Then the cinemas and theater chains take 57%, the producers and distributors take the remaining 43%, and finally the producers and investors have about 30 yuan left.

The actors' share is calculated from the 30 yuan.

The contract the TV station offered Shen Yue included a minimum guaranteed salary plus a maximum profit sharing of 8.7%, negotiated based on her unique and irreplaceable status as the female lead.

In the end, for every 100 yuan in box office revenue, she would get about 2.6 yuan.

There will be some fluctuations, but it should look something like this.

Director Wan's film "Changning" has a budget of 6000 million yuan, and that's not all. The total cost for promotion and distribution is estimated to be around 8000 million yuan. However, Director Wan is a big name in commercial films, so he can still attract this kind of investment. The estimated box office revenue is 2.5 million yuan to break even.

Director Wan has confidence in himself and in the market.

Director Taiga was confident in himself, believing that even if things didn't go well, a box office of 5000 million would be enough to break even.

You can always achieve something by piecing things together.

Moviegoers came and went.

The creators behind this had no time for sentimentality or even for meals.

From the moment of its official release, box office performance can actually be tracked in real time.

You can track it through the Maoyan Professional Edition and Lighthouse Professional Edition platforms, as their data is updated very frequently and promptly.

Generally, by 22:30 PM, the screenings are almost over, and the data at this time is basically the same as the estimated box office for the day.

The authoritative data was released at 3 PM the following day; this was the final confirmed data.

He worked hard and was under immense pressure. He had been preparing for this for several years, to be precise, seven years. There are only a few seven-year periods in a lifetime, especially since Taiga was in his prime. It had been seven years since his last work.

If an adult has not worked for 7 years and has no money, they are considered a useless person in society.

No matter how glamorous you were in the past, you've been gone for seven years. In this rapidly changing era, it's no different from being dead.

Dahe was very nervous.

Seven years of hard work culminate in victory. If he wins, he will go even further, and everyone will recognize his efforts. His silence is also for the sake of better works. If he loses... if he loses, no one will talk about him. He disappears. Losers are not worth mentioning.

Although he tried his best and felt he had delivered a satisfactory result.

But the score, the one who scores it, might be God, and he's not sure about the outcome.

After the premiere, Dahe quietly returned to the student street near his former university, to a noodle shop. The noodle shop was very old, and the noodles were so-so, sometimes undercooked and sometimes soft. But their chili sauce was delicious. Whether the noodles were undercooked or overcooked, adding a spoonful of chili sauce made the flavor rich and intense, so strong that it made you want to cry, and even after crying, you still wanted to eat more.

Dahe silently ordered the noodles.

The owner has changed; it should be the original owner's son. Fortunately, the chili sauce hasn't changed.

Dahe silently finished his bowl of noodles.

It's already 10 p.m.

He walked home, taking his time to digest.

Half past ten.

He deliberately avoided checking the time on his phone because he was too anxious. When he watched his first movie, he was waiting for every single second.

He now wants to ignore that time.

I even want to travel directly to tomorrow.

the phone is ringing.

The producer called him.

"Great River, we've succeeded! 5000 million in box office on the first day, breaking even in just one day! From now on, the billion-dollar director dream team in Chinese film history will welcome their king!"

"Dahe, can you hear me? It's a bit noisy over there, where are you?"

"On the roadside? A truck drove by?"

"Dahe, I'm fucking excited! I want to streak right now, streak in the most crowded place, I want to run, I want to shout, I want to shout 'We're awesome!' Let the whole world know how awesome we are!"

Dahe:......

I hung up the phone.

He suddenly took off his shirt and ran home. He swung his shirt around like he was carrying a flag, and he ran like he was riding a horse. He was happy. Seven years of hard work had paid off, and he was still young at heart!
