Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 414 What a big loss

Latest website: When your mentality is stable, your work status will be better.

Although Lin Zhehua was hit by Chen Hui again, he did not become depressed again. Instead, he continued to work actively and hard in acting. His work attitude cannot be overemphasized, and it can be said that he is very dedicated.

The acting skills are not enough, the attitude is what makes it up.

If you don’t have enough talent, you have to work hard to make it happen.

In fact, there are many people who don't work hard enough to compete with others in terms of talent, but they start complaining that they are not talented enough. This mentality is quite ridiculous.

At least you are conscientious and work hard, but if you still can't compare with others, then you can say that there is a gap in talent. This is understandable.

And many people don't even try to do their jobs well, but they also start to complain about lack of talent. This is purely making excuses for their laziness.

Lin Zhehua is definitely not such a person.

Whether it's singing or acting, he has tried his best, so to a certain extent, he has really made up for his weakness with hard work.

Based on this alone, his development path will definitely not be too bad in the future.

After the important scenes of the rooftop showdown were filmed, the filming progress of the "Infernal Affairs" crew became faster and smoother. So far, some important plot scenes have almost been filmed. With the cooperation of Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao, The crew's progress has even advanced a bit.

This way, more time can be left for the post-production of the film, and at the same time, there is room to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. The quality of the final product of the entire film will be more guaranteed.

As the filming progressed, many people in the crew gradually became optimistic about the film "Infernal Affairs".

Some important supporting actors and veteran actors occasionally talk privately about their views on the film.

Most people now feel that this film will definitely be a good one. Although no one can predict the final box office, judging from the script, the shooting scene, and the attitudes of the actors, director, and crew, this film is The quality will definitely be high.

Especially some veteran actors, who are very experienced and have a very sharp vision. What is a crew like and what kind of movies can they make?

Generally, they can figure out the basics within a few days of joining the group, but sometimes they just live there for a living, seeing through things without telling them.

But now, almost everyone attaches great importance to the crew of "Infernal Affairs", because they all instinctively feel that they seem to have participated in a masterpiece that is difficult to come across. Such an experience is not just a casual meal. It’s so simple. Once you seize the opportunity, you may be able to double your worth!

Just like the actors in "Crazy Stone", after playing the movie Stone, several protagonists, including several supporting roles, have become popular film and television actors. Many film and television directors are rushing to get them. It’s the change that a good drama brings to actors.

Therefore, many people are now beginning to believe that "Infernal Affairs" also has this potential!

"Si Qiang, how much box office do you think our movie will have in the end?"

When on the set, many actors will call each other by their character's name. This feels simpler and more convenient, and it is also quite friendly.

The actor who plays Silly Qiang is an actor brought by Liu Qiangwei from the southern entertainment industry. He is pretty good and can at least reach the level of 70-80 in Chen Feng's impression.

Although Shaqiang's IQ is not high in the movie, he is not stupid in reality either.

"I can't say for sure... but I remember before the release of "Crazy Stone", the director seemed to have said that he hoped to have a box office of one billion, but in the end "Crazy Stone" got a total box office of about 1.8 billion... As for "Infernal Affairs" "...I think it's probably at least a billion..."

After hearing what Shaqiang said, the actor who played Lin Guoping shook his head.

"Although I also think that the film "Infernal Affairs" should be very good, I always feel that it seems to be a bit too literary and dramatic. I don't know what the market response will be when it is finally released..."

Shaqiang thought for a while and said: "Not necessarily. Literary dramas can also be very good. Haven't we all seen it before? Maybe the audience will also like it... But how much do you think this film can win? box office?"

Lin Guoping chuckled and said, "I think it's at least one billion..."

"Tch... Then you were shaking your head just now..." Silly Qiang gave Lin Guoping a middle finger.

"I'm just teasing you..."

"Be careful, I'll beat you up!"

Just as the two actors were whispering, Liu Qiangwei passed behind them holding a cup of coffee.

Vaguely, Liu Qiangwei also heard the two of them guessing about the final box office of "Infernal Affairs".

One billion...

If the final box office of "Infernal Affairs" can reach 1 billion, then this movie will be considered a big profit.

After all, the total investment in the movie is only about 40 million, and the box office is 1 billion. The producer will eventually receive about 400 million from the theater, which is almost ten times the investment.

It’s really enviable.

If... he had chosen to get money based on the movie's box office share, as a director, he should be able to get 2%. Calculated based on the net profit, after deducting the film's production and distribution expenses and various tax expenses, he would end up with almost I can get...more than five million.

Five million versus one and a half million!

What a big loss.

But there was no sad look on Liu Qiangwei's face.

After all, when the contract was signed, the 1.5 million had already been sent to him in advance according to his request.

The money has helped him solve some problems at home, so now he can work with more peace of mind.

As for the more than five million he might earn... no matter how much money he had, it couldn't solve his immediate needs, so he doesn't regret it much now.

He is a man who can carry things clearly.

But the only thing that made him feel a little guilty was that Mai Zizhao only took 1.5 million due to his influence. This was actually a huge loss for Mai Zizhao.

But Mai Zizhao is his own person after all. Although there is a loss this time, he will definitely find a way to help him make up for it in the future.

Liu Qiangwei can still do what he believes in.

Of course, if the film "Infernal Affairs" can really get more than 1 billion in box office, then Liu Qiangwei's value as a director will naturally rise. Even if this film makes less, his new films will also be in the future. With a higher voice and account sharing ratio, these are more meaningful.

Therefore, Liu Qiangwei's mentality was very stable and did not waver at all.

Anyway, let’s finish filming the film first!

By mid-August, the film market was already bustling with activity.

The science fiction blockbuster invested by Beidou Entertainment has begun publicity and promotion work, and some related news reports often appear on the hot topic list.

Although there are no outstanding works in Chinese-language films on the subject of science fiction films, everyone knows that this subject actually has great potential and market. After all, every year there are some imported science fiction films that take away a lot of box office. Everyone knows that this subject has great potential and market. Very jealous.

But everyone also knows that science fiction movies are really difficult to make, require high investment, and are risky. Except for large entertainment companies like Beidou Entertainment that have the courage to invest in this genre, other companies or capital sources do not have the courage.

This time, Beidou Entertainment hired the well-known domestic science fiction master Tian Ming as the screenwriter for this science fiction film, and he created a new script.

Tian Ming is currently the only best-selling science fiction writer in China. Because of the niche nature of science fiction, most science fiction has not been out of the industry. Only Tian Ming's works are currently very popular, with high sales, and are widely distributed on the Internet. To spread.

However, although Tian Ming is very famous now, many of his works had the full copyright sold to other companies at low prices in his early years. Therefore, although he is now popular, the income from his works is not actually high.

This also made Tian Ming a little depressed.

Fortunately, some of the new works he has written in recent years have been sold for good prices. Moreover, this time Beidou Entertainment directly asked him to be a screenwriter, and also gave him a high price.

With Tian Ming's reputation as a science fiction master, Beidou Entertainment's science fiction film has a promotional gimmick. In recent times, Tian Ming and Beidou Entertainment have frequently appeared on the hot topic list.

Many readers and viewers are also looking forward to this.

After all, it is the first large-scale domestically produced science fiction film, and everyone hopes they can get off to a good start.

However, so far, there is still too little information about this film. Apart from some conceptual things and some stills, there is no complete trailer yet.

But the more this happens, the more interested some science fiction fans and movie fans become. Many people even start to speculate directly from some of Tian Ming's previous works what this new film will look like.

It has to be said that the power of netizens is still very powerful. After some people's analysis, combined with the stills that have been exposed, they can actually guess the general type of the movie.

"This is supposed to be an interstellar voyage type science fiction movie. According to a short story about cosmic psychology written by Tian Ming six years ago, this concept will be used this time. It is about psychological abnormalities during human interstellar voyages. The exploration of changing problems..."

"This setting is very interesting, science fiction + psychology + horror and suspense... it should be quite exciting. "

"But I'm also a little worried. Will the hard science fiction part be weakened and turned into a psychological suspense film disguised as science fiction?"

"Probably not. If you look at the spacesuit in the stills, it is very sophisticated in design. It is obviously a scene from outer space."

"I hope this film can be a good start for Chinese science fiction movies!"

Chen Feng also browsed some related inquiries. Chen Feng still admired Beidou Entertainment's courage to try to shoot science fiction films. After all, he also knew that it is really difficult to make science fiction blockbusters, and some of them failed at the box office. Perhaps, this kind of explorer is really admirable.

At the same time, Chen Feng also knows that with the development of the film market, the development of the film industry, and the development of science and technology and brokerage levels, science fiction blockbusters may indeed become one of the more mainstream themes in the future.

I just hope that the practitioners of Chinese-language films can be prepared before this phenomenon occurs!
