My Hong Kong Island Filmmaker

Chapter 64 Money is like toilet paper, people are just as precious

PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket!Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Dragon City Ice Room, third floor.

Fei Cheng, Luo Dong and Zu Liyao rushed back from the cast of "The True Story of a Beautiful Girl".

"What is the progress?"

Wu Xiaozu opened a new pack of Wan 555 and distributed it to the crowd. He pointed to Gu Tianle who was making a quail-like appearance and said, "Gu Zai, restaurant guy!"

"..."

Gu Tianle just wanted to say hello to several bigwigs, and when he heard Wu Xiaozu's introduction to himself, he lost his mood instantly.

The three laughed, and Fei Cheng laughed the most crazy!

Gu Tianle glared at the fat boy, secretly compared the hard power of the two sides, and swallowed this breath.In my heart, I feel that living here is more difficult than mixing clubs.

"There are more than a dozen scenes in 'The True Story of a Beautiful Girl'," Luo Dong said.

Wu Xiaozu nodded, this speed is very Qiu Litao.In his heart, he was looking forward to Qiu Litao's movie.

…………

Wu Xiaozu stood in front of the desk and put the script and the written storyboard in the bookcase behind him.He flipped through the financial statements on the table and frowned.

As the film market on Hong Kong Island is getting more and more popular, filmmakers in other cities, especially in the Bay Area, have begun to wave their cheques to buy films.

A lot of people don't need to do anything, and they can earn millions by bringing stars to film for the film company. Do you think the community is not hot?It is also from these two years that there will be many incidents in which scripts are sent to stars with bullets in between.

The film circle on Hong Kong Island will become completely cloudy, and countless turbulent events will appear repeatedly.

Celebrities will become goods, some people can live with rare goods, some people have two empty goods, and some people exchange money for goods.

Hundreds of wars compete, who wins and who laughs?

The Hong Kong Island film industry is not far from madness.

Movies are hot, and the salaries of actors and staff have also skyrocketed as companies big and small are madly opening films.The industry dividend has surprised many people by surprise.

The Dalu Film Company co-founded by Cai Lan and Lan Naicai, a subsidiary of Jiahe, has just finished filming "Desperate for Ghosts", which has not yet been released, and recently added another "Yuan Zhenxia and Wesley".Zhou Runfa's friendship price is 180 million.

Outside, Zhou Runfa's salary has been fired to 300 million!But there are still people who buy it, and countless people are waving cheques to fight for it.

1986 was just the beginning.In less than two years, Fage's single-piece friendship price has skyrocketed to 600 million Hong Kong dollars, and there is still no market for the price.Film companies waiting to make films line up from Kowloon to Lamma Island.

"Don't make movies if you don't have money." Wu Xiaozu secretly laughed at himself.

Fortunately, I was reborn in 86, if I was reborn in the 90s.You'd better prepare yourself for a kidney cut.

91年前后，根据《经济世界》港岛明星片酬调查，及《电影双周刊》的相关统计。程龙单片片酬达到1500万-2000万，周闰发1200万-1500万片酬，星爷800万-1200万。哥哥600万-800万左右。

Ten million paychecks in the early 90s!Amazing cold sweat.

In the early 90s, a household with [-] yuan in the mainland was already considered a wealthy class.

The wages of the workers are only 300 yuan.A Hong Kong star's salary for a movie is 2000 million Hong Kong dollars.If converted based on socio-economic costs and the box office market, the income of Hong Kong stars is even more exaggerated than that of Hollywood stars!
Of course, the market price of each star will also change with the market, such as the stock price.After a while, the film you acted in sold well, and the value of the movie would skyrocket in an instant.If a few movies hit the street, the price will plummet.

For example, during the period of 93 and 94, the market situation weakened a lot. Only then did he take the initiative to find Liu Zhenwei, who was famous at the time, and cooperated with a "Citi Shaolin" to turn the decade into a win.

Generally, the producer will first ask the star and his manager to discuss the remuneration. Sometimes the star himself is not sure about his own market, so it is not surprising that the two sides negotiate the price.

Of course, the "friendship" price is not included here.

Which big star doesn't have a few "friends" of the children of the rivers and lakes, can you help your friends when they ask you for help?Only at this time can you see if you are really being honest.

Some time ago, in the "Magic Jade" released by Jiahe Cinemas, Wu Xiaozu saw the shadow of Yongsheng Film Company.Among the many friends, the Xiang brothers are well-behaved.

Do you really think Andy really wants to shoot 13 movies at the same time?Shooting without reading the script?Day and night in a row?Pick, no matter how willing he is to be a model worker, he is still a person, not an animal!Stomach bleeding, hanging bottles, insomnia, a lot of hair loss, do you think it's bluffing?

刘德桦对外91年300万，92年600万，93年就800-1000万了。但“朋友”基本都只给他一200万而已。

Even worse, a certain boss invited him to a late-night snack at Chunfeng Deyi Building, and Andy happily went to eat it.After eating, the other party put his arms around Andy's shoulders, and told him proudly that he has not had enough money recently, so this meal will be a good pay.

Andy was dumbfounded at the time. What a shame, the whoring-prostitute still has to pay for it. You can get me to act and have a meal. Then, Andy was shocked, and he was obediently led by the manager, Zhang Guozhong, to the set to shoot.There's no way, two short dogs are caught in the script, it's up to you to shoot or not.

I really don't know whether to be happy for Liu Dehua, or sad and helpless for him.

On the one hand, he will be popular with countless resources!On the other hand, he himself does not even have the qualifications to choose films.Just like drinking water, know the warmth and coldness!
The pay gap between male stars and female stars is also huge!
In 92, the highest paid male stars were basically more than 300 million yuan, and the highest female stars were only one-third of them.At that time, Lin Qingxia and Yang Ziqiong, who were the highest at that time, were both around 200 million, and Wang Zuyi was slightly less than [-] million.As for other actresses, millions are considered high pay.

Of course, the content of the film also has a certain relationship.

Actresses want high pay unless they act in 111-level films!Otherwise, it will be difficult to rise!

A film company once offered 2000 million to Lin Qingxia to star in a 111-level film.

Before Sister Lin dispelled the rumors, Wang Zuyi ran over and roared for Sister Lin, making the tabloids and filmmakers wonder: I'm chasing Lin Qingxia, what are you excited about, Wang Zuyi?

Then there were scandals about the goddess coming out of the closet in the tabloids.It made Lin Qingxia cry and laugh...

……

Although this surge in 86 was only a small sign, it had already put a lot of pressure on Wu Xiaozu.As a producer, of course he wanted to make a film at the lowest cost.

The actors of "The Birth of a Prefix" are not paid very high, and the heroine Wang Zubi is the biggest. The friendship price is 8 yuan for a week's play.Korean red 3 yuan.

Looking at the salary, Wu Xiaozu thought, if he went to karaoke and communicated more feelings, would it be cheaper?
It is estimated that the gold medal manager will hang up his phone even more?
Qingyun 3.5.Fei Cheng and Luo Dong are also paid around 1 yuan.Because in addition to acting, they also help with work.

Wu Zhen awarded 5000 yuan.

Wu Ma is the only actor who gets a 4-digit salary among the many leading actors.Even Wu Xiaozu wanted to sign a few more plays with him at this price.But I also felt that it was a bit unkind to pit Wu Ma like this.

So Wu Xiaozu very thoughtfully crossed out the tens of digits and signed 5 drama contracts with him.Wu Zhenyu also said thank you to Wu Xiaozu.

Actors can't affect Wu Xiaozu, but the people behind the scenes are different!
The film itself is an industrial process of teamwork.

In any film, a certain process cannot be omitted, otherwise it is difficult not to be a bad film.Every position is equally important.Cameras, lighting, art, costumes, props, field affairs, radio, scenery, modeling, and action guidance are all indispensable.

The salary of Huang Yuetai, the great god, reached 7 yuan a week.Zou Lin, the lamp master, has also risen to 8500 yuan!It's all about friendship.

After a play, the wages of the behind-the-scenes personnel add up to more than 20, which is frightening to death.One day overdue can be delayed until Wu Xiaozu goes bankrupt.

This time the film crew rented three cameras, and the cost of film was 40 million!Coupled with the daily expenses of the crew, it is definitely a large number.Wu Xiaozu didn't expect the cost of movies on Hong Kong Island to skyrocket so fast.

He didn't even dare to imagine how much it would cost if the stars came to start the show.

The cost of the whole crew is 40.00% higher than that of "Rainy Night Butcher".Everything is going up.Eating, drinking, and sleeping are definitely a big expense.

Fortunately, Jiang Zhiqiang, a big water pipe, paid the bill, otherwise Wu Xiaozu, who had not yet received the later share of the bill, would not be able to start a play.

Movies are easy to make money, and even easier to spend.The movie industry throws money, maybe millions of dollars into it, and not a single splash can be splashed.

If you love him, take him to the movies.

Hate him, let him make movies.
