Actually I just want to act

Chapter 173 Negotiations
Fang Zhiming said, no wonder the actor refused to sign the contract, and even had a falling out with the crew. Who would sign such harsh terms?Not to mention the lack of money, but I want to make three movies with you in a row?Wow, you don't need to eat when others don't?Don't earn more film remuneration, come to your kind deed?
"Cough cough..."

The director in the middle is a little embarrassed, he is actually here to cast the role, as for the contract, that is the matter of the film and television company.

The representative of the capital side asked with his eyes, is it necessary for him?The director acted like I don't know, don't ask me.Seeing this management representative understands that this matter is hardly negotiable.That's right, the invited actor had a falling out, and under the premise of rushing to catch up with the filming schedule, he had to find an actor with good acting skills and cheap at the last minute, and Fang Jiming was probably the most suitable and outstanding actor.Still thinking about using the previous contract, they are not so easy to deceive.

No, one should know that the other party is not a rookie when one sees the other person's unhurried, one-by-one posture.If you are a rookie, you don't care about the deed of sale or the overlord clause, and you sign it excitedly.After signing, there is no place to cry when I regret it.

There is no other way, the management representative can only bite the bullet and say: "Then according to your opinion?"

"Add a few words. In the case of the same film salary, give priority to the non-leading roles of your film company." Fang Jiming didn't want to do too much, after all, Runbao Films is also one of the top ten film and television companies in China. .Almost every year, there will be tens of millions of large-scale investments.Don't underestimate the tens of millions in this show, you must know that last year's box office champion in China was only more than 1 million.To invest in a movie, at least three times the actual cost can be paid back, and the part that exceeds three times is profitable.In other words, most of the movies with an investment of more than 3000 million yuan are on the street.

If you think about it, the cost of a movie needs to be tripled at the box office to make money. With an investment of 3000 million, how many movies have a box office of over [-] million?

If there is no box office of more than [-] million yuan, we can only pin our hopes on the film market in Southeast Asia, Neon and Bangzi Country.If the distribution ability is not strong enough, it will lose everything.Movies are a high-risk investment industry.There are successful cases, but more of them are bones invisible to ordinary people.

Of course, a film that claims to have invested 3000 million yuan is actually quite remarkable with an investment of more than 2000 million yuan.A movie with a real investment of 3000 million will claim to have an investment of 5000 million.This is the same as fighting in ancient times. There are only 20 people, but they claim to have 80 troops to strengthen their momentum.There is no way, apart from filming, there is also promotion for the movie.If you don't promote it, who knows that your movie will be released?Therefore, in many cases, a considerable part of the film cost has entered the promotional channels, which is also included in the cost.

Even in the previous life, some movies claimed to have invested hundreds of millions, half of which was invested in publicity and competition for filming.As for the other half, Datou gave Xiao Xianrou and the others their salary. As for the set, special effects, acting skills, plot and so on, they were all too poor to be seen.No amount of fans can support such a movie.

Let's put it this way, the fan movie, the "Tiny Times" series has made money by virtue of the advantage of being the first to eat crabs. The Xiaoxianrou and Xiaohuadan movies behind the "Tiny Times" series are all on the street, without exception.As long as it is a movie with no acting skills and no plot, the audience will vote with their feet.Many people have to say, isn't "Youth in Youth" a big success?Well, ask yourself, are the actors in it not good at acting?Is the plot bad?Isn't the movie meaningful?So people succeeded, is it difficult to understand?

Still, movie special effects are not special effects, they are just icing on the cake.

If you have a plot and acting skills, let alone no special effects, even if your set is extremely simple, it will still be a god-like movie!

What?No such movie?Hehe, have you seen "The Man From Earth"?The scene is a small villa, plus the scenery outside the villa, but this is a movie with a small investment and a big return.The cost of the film was 3.5 US dollars, the global box office revenue was 17500 million US dollars, and the box office recovery rate was as high as 8.5 times!As for word of mouth?The Douban score is as high as [-]!

This movie just illustrates one thing. The core of the movie is the plot and acting skills.As for the rest, it's just icing on the cake.

Having said so much, Fang Jiming wants to prove one thing. Although this "Invisible War" claims to invest 2000 million yuan, it is actually amazing to invest more than 1000 million yuan. The big head must have paid the big stars. There is also publicity and filming.So, they have to keep costs down.

Capital is like this, as long as there is money to be made, they will definitely exploit it.It is estimated that no one is unaware of the box office effect of big stars, so Runbao Films only focuses on one movie - big star, and there is more than one big star, it is a multi-star combination.Naturally, the effect is also great. When it was released during the golden holiday, the box office for that week exceeded [-] million, or even tens of millions.Such an effect is that capital will be tempted.

With an investment of more than 1000 million yuan, the cost was recovered within a week of its release. With a release period of 20 to 30 days, how can you earn 1000 million, right?If the box office is as high as 5 million, it is a net profit of tens of millions.The film box office calculation is roughly like this: the film development fund is divided into 3.3%, and the business tax is 50%; the theater chain 60-500%; the rest is for production and distribution, and these expenses are deducted from the production and distribution expenses.In other words, if the box office is 330 million, 5000 million will be given to the film development fund, 4170 million will be given to the business tax, and 1000 million will be given to the theaters.Then, there will be [-] million left, deducting [-] million investment + publicity, then the rest is pure profit.

You said, the net profit of more than 3000 million yuan can make the management lose their conscience and squeeze out famous actors?For sure!
Under normal circumstances, the management would definitely change actors immediately.After all, you are not the lead actor, so there is no need to talk to you.

But, it's different now.

The management wants to catch up with the progress of the film, because the schedule is fixed, and if the file is withdrawn, it will lose a lot of money.

This film is going to be filmed in Hengdian for a month, and then filmed in other places for another month. After finishing, it will take more than three months for post-production, dubbing + subtitles + special effects and so on.Then it has to be released in time for Valentine's Day. After all, it's an emotional drama. Any spy battles or intrigues are all packaged.The real core is still from the emotional drama. If it is not released on Valentine's Day, when will it be released?
From the week before Valentine's Day to the day of Valentine's Day, as long as word-of-mouth is good, couples don't really have much choice, do they?
It is precisely because of this that the management can only compromise, and it will be impossible to find a suitable person to shoot for a while!Therefore, Fang Jiming seized this weakness and strived for legal interests.Actually, Fang Jiming thinks it's okay to act more, just to gain experience.But you can’t play too many supporting roles. If you play too many roles, others will not ask you to be the leading role-the choice of route is very important, which is why many actors will not act without leading roles.If you are afraid of being stereotyped and stereotyped, you will lose a lot.

Therefore, the management representative took a deep breath and said, "Okay, the conditions can be changed, but the salary cannot be changed!"
