MTL - China Entertainment Ultimate Tycoon-Chapter 3 Wu Jing
In the future, the film will be released for seven weeks, and it will win a box office of 68.45 million yuan. After deducting the distribution and the cinema chain, the money that will eventually fall into the hands of investors will not exceed 20 million yuan.
Of course not necessarily unhappy.
After all, with a loss of 10 million yuan, it is the directors and investors who have a headache. What does it have to do with the bottom-level staff?
They are all working hard for wages, how much the box office is my shit!
Jiang Bai's thoughts were released when he saw two men.
This is Wu Jing and his agent Weng Hongda.
"Hello, I'm Jiang Bai." Jiang Bai stretched out his hand and said.
Wu Jing shook hands with a smile on her face: "Hello Director Jiang, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Speaking of which, Wu Jing is also a hard worker. She debuted in 1995 as the protagonist of "Kung Fu Boy Breaking the Pass".
Director Zhang Xinyan wanted to take the medicine according to the prescription and make a magnificent production similar to "Shaolin Temple", so he went to the Beijing Sports School to select candidates.
At that time, coach Wu Bin also hid several good seedlings such as Wu Jing and refused to see them, so Zhang Xinyan could only leave in anger.
However, Zhang Xinyan was not someone who gave up easily. He came to Beijing Sports School again. This time Wu Bin withstood the pressure of his old friend, but he could not stop the arrangement of fate.
In the dumpling hall outside the sports school, Zhang Xinyan and Wu Jing started the meeting of destiny, and Wu Jing entered the film and television circle since then.
Unfortunately, prescribing medicines according to the prescription has always been a negative example.
When the movie was released in 1996, "Young and Dangerous" killed the Quartet, and even the movies of Xing Ye and Big Brother had to shy away from it. This "Kung Fu Boy Breaks Love" is naturally no surprise.
In the following years, Wu Jing rolled around in various movies and TV shows, and starred in countless bad movies, but they were not important roles.
This caused him to put down his body at this time in the face of Jiang Bai, a director who did not know which horns and corners appeared.
No way, people always have to eat.
Jiang Bai's choice of Wu Jing is actually a little helpless. Under normal circumstances, he should go to the martial arts school and the sports school to select newcomers.
Newcomers are paid low and obedient.
However, the newcomer also has the shortcomings of poor acting and inexperience.
Therefore, after comprehensive consideration, I decided to invite Wu Jing.
After all, Wu Jing's acting skills and movements have passed the test of time, and it is guaranteed that he will play the role of No. 1 Dragon Slayer.
"This is not the place to talk, let's go to the front of the taste house to talk." Jiang Bai said.
"OK."
…
The three came to the Taste Residence and asked for a small private room.
Jiang Bai took out the script: "This is the movie I want to make, Zhan Long. I want to invite Wu Jing to play the role of the male lead."
Weng Hongda flipped through the script, and the expression on his face gradually became solemn.
I thought that local tyrants appeared out of nowhere, and I thought of making a profit in the film and television industry.
But this script made him feel that the other party was not simple.
The script isn't complicated, and it's not brilliant, but it's pretty standard.
What is the standard?
The several sub-shot scripts that follow this script make people see that they can form a coherent picture in their minds.
That's great.
Without more than ten years of experience with the group and enough talent, it is difficult to write such a standard script.
"How much is Director Jiang's investment in this film?" Weng Hongda closed the script and asked solemnly.
Jiang Bai smiled faintly: "One hundred million!"
hiss!
Weng Hongda's face looked like a fool.
One billion investment?
You are fooling around here!
If there really was a big production with an investment of 100 million yuan, it would have been spread in the circle.
More importantly, how could Wu Jing be the male lead for a big production with an investment of 100 million yuan?
"Don't get excited, this play does have an investment of 100 million, but you can also treat him as an investment of 10 million." Jiang Bai chuckled.
Weng Hongda frowned: "What do you mean by that?"
"Because the remaining 90 million will be used for special effects. Our play is an action blockbuster, focusing on special effects." Jiang Bai smiled.
"Main special effects?"
Weng Hongda was stunned again, and Wu Jing was also a little puzzled.
Jiang Bai said: "Have seen Avatar at the beginning of the year. The special effects of my play are not worse than Avatar."
"It's not worse than Avatar? Director Jiang's words are exaggerated. Avatar is also a top production in Hollywood. That kind of special effects resources are not available in China even if you have money."
Weng Hongda was a little angry. He felt that this conversation could be over. For a layman who is full of words, there is nothing worth continuing to talk about.
The reason why he didn't leave immediately was because of his cultivation as a businessman. Even if the cooperation failed, there was no need to make enemies. He didn't want Jiang Bai to be too embarrassed.
Jiang Bai smiled lightly, he saw what Weng Hongda meant, but he was not angry.
Before the film is made, anyone who hears his words will take it as a joke.
Weng Hongda's reaction was just the normal reaction of a normal person.
Jiang Bai smiled and said: "If you really don't believe it, then consider it an investment of 10 million yuan. Can this standard invite Wu Jing to be the number one male?"
"Ten million…"
Weng Hongda lowered his head and pondered. In all fairness, this investment is okay. It can't be called a big production, but it can also make a serious movie.
With Wu Jing's worth, if it is the male number one, it seems that it can be considered.
"How much is Wu Jing's salary?" Weng Hongda asked after thinking about it.
"Three hundred thousand."
"500,000, Wu Jing is a second-tier movie star and has a wealth of performance experience. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"
"However, for now, he has no box office appeal." Jiang Bai said frankly.
Weng Hongda looked at Wu Jing: "What do you think?"
"I have no problem, Brother Weng thinks it's fine." Wu Jing smiled.
Weng Hongda said that he is a second-tier movie star, but in fact, it is a little flattering. The current Wu Jing is at most third-tier.
The remuneration is not high, like this Xifenglie, his remuneration is only 100,000 yuan.
Jiang Bai is willing to pay 300,000 yuan as a salary, and he is still the number one male, which is already a very favorable condition.
"OK, the deal! I wish us a happy cooperation!" Weng Hongda picked up the wine glass.
"Happy cooperation!"
…
Magic City Academy of Drama.
As the top film and television school in China, there are clouds of handsome guys and beauties here.
In contrast, the Magic Capital Academy of Visual Arts, where Jiang Bai is located, is also one of the Magic Capital Film and Television Schools, which is a lot worse.
This is also something that can't be done. There is really no such thing as a foundation.
It takes time, opportunities, and results!
At the gate of the 10th performance class, several female students who had just finished class were stopped.
"Hello, is this classmate Dilireba?" Jiang Bai said with a smile.
"Wow, Chubby, there is a handsome guy looking for you!" Several girls next to her made exaggerated voices.
It is said that since Jiang Bai can become a student of the Magic Capital Academy of Visual Arts, his image is naturally not bad.
Of course, I can't say how good it is, the average person is a little handsome.
The exaggeration of several girls is more of a joke.
"Alright you guys!"
Dilireba sneered at her female companion, smiled apologetically at Jiang Bai, and said, "Hello, I'm Dilireba, may I ask who you are..."
