Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

Chapter 169 Ten Billion Film King!

After checking his current acting attributes.

Lin Yuan took a shower and changed into a set of formal clothes, and soon it was time for the evening celebration banquet.

Arriving at the banquet hall on the second floor of the hotel, the scene has already been set up. There are a total of eleven tables. Since some actors have left the crew after finishing the production ahead of time, they must be full of seats, but just in case, Director Li still uses the largest number of people Arrangement, he didn't want someone to stand and eat the celebration banquet.

And when Lin Yuan came here, he thought he was already half an hour early enough, but when he got there, he found that these old actors came earlier than him, and they were sitting together and discussing without knowing it. what.

"Lin Yuan, here!" When Lin Yuan appeared at the finale banquet, Mr. Wu Gang got up and waved to him, and the other actors also looked in the direction.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan walked directly towards him. When he got to the table, he sat down and greeted the actors present warmly.

Since there was no opening ceremony at the earliest time, today is the first time since Lin Yuan joined the group that he saw so many actors together at the same time.

The more than 30 well-recognized capable actors present have all played the leading role in the TV series they filmed. Even if they are randomly put in a TV series to be filmed now, they are still the candidates for the leading role.

But now, these people are willing to play supporting role green leaves one after another. After seeing this scene, the former Lin Yuan still felt that he picked up too many attributes, but now it seems that he really didn't pick up many attributes.

When he was emotional, everyone chatted for about 10 minutes, and then a burst of noisy voices sounded.

The two chief producers, director Li Lu and Gao Yalin, came in pushing a dining car with stacks of thick red envelopes on it, and behind the two of them were a few talking and laughing people staff member.

After seeing that the red envelope session was about to start, everyone chose to remain silent, and the entire banquet hall became much quieter in an instant.

"Lin Yuan, this is yours. You have worked hard in the past two months of filming. You have been running to the set every day. You care more than me as a director."

"Director Li, you're being polite. As an actor, filming is work, so there's no need to talk about hard work."

While being polite, Lin Yuan squeezed the red envelope that he received. Judging from the thickness, it must be at least [-].

Through the amount of red envelopes, it is not difficult for Lin Yuan to guess that Director Li is still very satisfied with the filming of the crew, otherwise he would not have spent such a large amount of money.

But this is also understandable. After all, the TV series that was expected to take at least half a year to finish shooting is now finished in less than three months. Time is money. This kind of high-efficiency shooting can be regarded as saving the crew a huge sum in disguise. payment.

Soon, after everyone in the banquet hall received the red envelopes, Director Li said a few simple words, roughly meaning to thank everyone. Chopsticks.

Considering that he was going back to Shanghai early tomorrow morning, Lin Yuan hadn't planned to drink at first, but he was really stubborn and couldn't match the veteran actors present, so he had to drink with them. He booed from the side, saying that everyone would like to respect Lin Yuan, the investor, for a glass of wine.

After drinking a catty of baijiu, Lin Yuan quickly interrupted the enthusiastic old actors in front of him, he just wanted to surrender now.

I thought that my drinking capacity was not small, but compared with these people, it was nothing but a big deal.

These old drama players are absolutely perfect in drinking. Those who don’t know each of them thought they grew up in a wine vat. At the age of five or 60, they all drink liquor as tea. Where is Lin Yuan in this situation? Can you stand it?
After Lin Yuan surrendered, Zhang Fengyi took the initiative to have a drink with him, and then said.

"Lin Yuan, if there is any drama in the future that requires us to help, feel free to speak up, but if we encounter a lack of people for a good script, you should think about it when inviting you."

Zhang Fengyi knew very well that they had accepted Lin Yuan's favor this time, so if Lin Yuan needed their help, they would definitely repay the favor to the best of their ability.

As for the second half of the sentence, it is to break the relationship with Lin Yuan in advance. No matter from which point of view, Lin Yuan is worthy of their friendship.
Especially in acting.

Over the past few months of filming, these old actors are all aware of Lin Yuan's acting skills.

Needless to say, his acting skills are solid, and he is also diligent. He runs to the crew every day. It is no exaggeration to say that the filming progress of this drama is so fast, which can be said to have a lot to do with Lin Yuan's actions.

"Of course, if there is a schedule, I'd be more than happy to film with seniors." Lin Yuan replied with a smile, but he doesn't plan to make such unprofitable films for the time being. Just kidding, he invested 4000 million yuan in his entire family. Well, if he doesn't make money in the future, wouldn't he want to drink the northwest wind?

Of course, the main reason is that he has basically maxed out his acting attributes, so if there is no such a luxurious cast, I am afraid that this kind of unprofitable drama will not be considered for a long time to come.

But the polite words that should be said still have to be said.

It's just that Teacher Zhang Fengyi's words reminded him that if there is a lack of people in the drama he will take on in the future, he can still ask these old actors to come and help him.

In his opinion, instead of asking the management to recommend some traffic stars, it is better to let these old drama stars play the role. Not only can it be easier for him to film, but also with the acting skills of these old drama stars, the reputation of the film will definitely be guaranteed.

After thinking of this, Lin Yuan also replaced wine with tea, and toasted these old actors.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Many cast members were already very drunk, and their assistants helped them back to the hotel after getting drunk.

When the wrap-up banquet was completely over, Lin Yuan on the way back suddenly found that there were two more missed calls on his mobile phone. When he opened it, it was all from Sister Xia who had just had dinner. Looking at the missed calls , Lin Yuan waited until he returned to the room before calling sister Xia back.

"Hey, sister Xia, just finished the green banquet, what's the matter?"

Sister Xia seemed to have something serious to say, so she said in a serious tone, "Come to the company directly after returning to Shanghai tomorrow. I have something serious to discuss with you."

"Okay, I'll be there early tomorrow morning." Lin Yuan knew that Sister Xia was very steady and usually spoke in such a serious tone, so something big must have happened, so he answered seriously.

After agreeing, Lin Yuan couldn't help gossiping, and asked curiously: "Sister Xia, can you tell me what's going on first?"

"You'll know when you come back, it's about making money anyway."

Sister Xia didn't tell Lin Yuan what was going on on the phone, but she just sold it out.

Her behavior made Lin Yuan even more curious. Given his current situation, there are many ways to make money, but what Sister Xia said was so mysterious, he couldn't figure it out, and he finally chose not to continue asking. Anyway, he will go back tomorrow , No matter how urgent you are, don't rush this day.

"Okay, see you tomorrow!" After leaving a sentence, Lin Yuan and sister Xia hung up the phone.

Time passed quickly, and the night passed in a flash.

Early the next morning.

After saying goodbye to Director Li and these old actors, Lin Yuan and his assistant also set out on their way back.

At eleven o'clock, Lin Yuan returned to the company after a long absence.

As Lin Yuan's fame grows, Xitian Media is also more expensive than mother and child. Not to mention the company's scale has expanded several times, even some second- and third-tier artists have taken the initiative to join Xitian. It can be said to be higher than the chairman, Mr. Li.

But Lin Yuan was not interested in this, he only cared about his own stardom, so he arrived at the office with ease.

Following his arrival, sister Xia immediately spoke up.

"It's still early to come back."

After finishing speaking, Sister Xia put the documents in her hand aside, and turned her eyes to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan spread his hands, put on a helpless look, and couldn't help teasing: "I can't help it, if other people come to me, I will definitely ignore it, but sister Xia wants to see me, so I can only coming."

"Stop talking nonsense, I have something serious to talk about when I asked you to come to the company." Sister Xia gave Lin Yuan a blank look, and continued, "Do you know who is the leading actor with the highest box office right now?"

"Big brother? Master Xing? Xu Zheng? Uncle Ge."

Lin Yuan didn't know why the other party asked this question so carefully, but he still answered subconsciously, but he didn't know who it was, so he had to name a few familiar actors.

The people he mentioned are all starring in a lot of movies, and they are also the most famous people in the country. As for these actors, how much their movie box office adds up, Lin Yuan doesn't know.

Sister Xia shook her head when she heard his words, and said two words slowly: "Huang Bo."

"Brother Bo?"

Lin Yuan was somewhat surprised by Sister Xia's answer.

In his opinion, shouldn't the actor with the highest box office right now be a veteran and powerful actor like Big Brother, Master Xing or Uncle Ge?

Master Xing and Eldest Brother are not the tallest, and Lin Yuan can understand that, after all, when the two lead actors were filming, the movie box office was calculated in tens of millions. At that time, the box office could exceed [-] million, which was considered a very popular movie. .

But Uncle Ge is different, one is the mainland market, and the other is "If You Are the One", "Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Let the Bullets Fly", "Private Order" and other movies he starred in, all of which broke the box office of [-] million , or even [-] million box office.

In this case, the final result turned out to be Huang Bo, which was somewhat beyond Lin Yuan's expectation.

But Lin Yuan quickly realized, and immediately asked: "Sister Xia, what does this have to do with me?"

After Lin Yuan's words came out of her mouth, sister Xia's eyes couldn't help but widen a little.

She sized Lin Yuan up, looked at him suspiciously, and then asked, "Don't you go online to read news about the entertainment industry recently?"

As a star, it is a daily thing to watch what is going on in the entertainment industry, but it turned out that Lin Yuan didn't know about a major event that happened in the entertainment industry recently, which made Miss Xia couldn't help but be surprised.

And Lin Yuan scratched his head in embarrassment. In fact, he can't be blamed for this. If he was filming in the past, he would have time to check his phone every day, but for the drama "In the Name of the People", he basically didn't have any free time.

Every day is either picking up attributes in the crew, or researching my own roles, or chatting with other veteran actors about the plot, almost busy from morning to night, and I don’t even touch my phone when I get home, and I fall down. Sleeping, the high-intensity work gave him time to watch the news of the entertainment industry.

Besides, Miss Xia, when she saw Lin Yuan's expression, she was sure that Lin Yuan didn't pay attention to the recent events in the entertainment industry. Say it."

"First of all, there is currently a storm in the film and television industry, a storm about [Ten Billion Movie King]."

"Last month, a movie starring Huang Bo was released, and it earned nearly 43 million at the box office. Adding the box office of the movies he starred in before, it totaled [-] billion. , most likely to become the first actor with a box office of tens of billions."

Lin Yuan listened carefully to Sister Xia's words, and he couldn't help being shocked when he learned that Brother Bo had accumulated a box office of 43 billion.

But after being shocked, he also quickly realized that Huang Bo's movie "囧囧" alone has a box office of more than one billion yuan, plus "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", "Heart Blossoms", "Dear" , "No Man's Land" and other movies, it is normal for the combined box office to exceed 40 billion.

But after Sister Xia finished talking about this matter, Lin Yuan was still a little puzzled: "But Sister Xia, what does this have to do with me?"

After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Sister Xia didn't know what to say about Lin Yuan for a while. Considering that Lin Yuan didn't pay attention to this matter, she also explained it to Lin Yuan in detail: "Do you know how this topic got out? ?”

"How to say?" Lin Yuan asked curiously.

"This is a topic jointly brought up by leading film companies such as Huayi and Guangguang. One is to stimulate consumption in the film market, and the other is to watch a movie starring an actor who can break the [-] billion box office first. Once the first [Ten Billion Movie King] 】If it is born, then it is not a question of increasing fame, but a question of real benefits, understand?"

"Because of this, no matter whether it is a powerful actor or a traffic star, they all want to compete for the title of tens of billions of actor. It is no exaggeration to say that whoever can get this title will be the capital. The darling you hold."

After explaining the matter to Lin Yuan, Sister Xia was also a little thirsty, took a drink from the cup, and then turned her gaze to Lin Yuan, wanting to see his reaction.

And Sister Xia has said so in detail, Lin Yuan probably understands what is going on.

With the improvement of consumption level, the profits in the movie market are also increasing, which can be seen intuitively from the movie box office.

In the past, the box office of a movie was several million, tens of millions, and it was very difficult to break through [-] million.

But what about the current movie?If you just invite a few traffic stars, the box office can easily exceed [-] million. If the script is polished and a few powerful actors are hired to support the script, it will not be a problem to break through the [-] billion mark.

What's more, "Charlotte Annoyance" created a myth last year. There are neither top-notch actors nor traffic stars. It just broke through with an excellent script and solid acting skills of the actors. "Lost in Thailand" has maintained box office records for several years.

It is foreseeable that the film market in the future will only become wider and wider. Maybe in a year or two, it will become normal for a single movie to break one billion box office, and 20 billion or 30 billion will be the new record.

Under such circumstances, leading film companies like Ray and Huayi certainly want to stimulate the market and speed up the progress.

They brought up this topic for the audience to discuss, which also invisibly increased the audience's attention to the upcoming movies, and stars like Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang, who already had a high box office, their fans are seeing this topic Finally, when their movies are released in the future, will they take the initiative to contribute a movie ticket?
The answer is obviously yes.

Some rational fans may think that the title of tens of billions of movie stars is irrelevant, but what about some fans?
In order for their idols to be the first to win the title of tens of billions of movie stars, they will definitely actively enter the cinema and contribute a box office to their idols.

In this way, isn't the market economy stimulated?
Next to the star, they must also want to compete for the title of the tens of billions of actor.

The reason is very simple. First, after winning this title, it will inevitably attract a lot of passer-by fans. The number of fans is a very important criterion for any star. Second, after winning the box office of tens of billions, the management will also will focus on him.

After all, the management is not a fool. Those actors who can break through the tens of billions of box office obviously have a strong box office appeal. If they make movies in the future, these tens of billions of box office actors must be among their first choices.

That is to say, whoever becomes the billionaire actor first will become the king of the new era, the king of film and television in the new era, the darling of capital, and the main force of traffic!
After thinking about this point, Lin Yuan explained the core of this topic in one sentence.

"So this is a god-making plan?"

Seeing that Lin Yuan understood what she meant, Sister Xia also nodded in relief: "Yes, it can be understood in this way, and that's why, I will say that this matter is related to your next money making."

Having said all this, sister Xia didn't continue to talk, but looked directly at Lin Yuan, wanting to see how Lin Yuan made his decision.

If it was the time when he first debuted in Hengdian, Lin Yuan would definitely have no interest in the tens of billions of box office, because when he debuts and wins the tens of billions of box office, those long-famous actors must have already got this. title.

But things are different now.

After all, he is also an actor now, and the box office of "One Man's Martial Arts" and "The Scorching Sun" he starred in are not low. It must be against his will to say that he has no interest in this tens of billions actor.

However, Lin Yuan also knows that he is still a long way from the first echelon of other actors. If he wants to win this tens of billions of actor, it feels a bit heavy and a long way to go.

With this thought in mind, after thinking for a while, Lin Yuan said: "Sister Xia, since you asked me to come here, you must have an idea, so just say it."

Sister Xia didn't waste any time, she nodded and opened a document in her notebook, and then turned to Lin Yuan's direction.

Inside the document is the sum of the box office of actors such as Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, and Xu Zheng.

It can be seen very intuitively that the box office of movies starring actors in the first echelon is at least 30 billion, and actors like Xu Zheng and Uncle Ge are only a few hundred million away from the number one Huang Bo. When a movie was released, it directly overtook Huang Bo.

After reading their box office sum, Lin Yuan took advantage of the situation and pulled down the table.

After a while, he found his name on it.

There are a total of 40 actors on the document list, and his position is at the bottom of the [-]th, which is not low, but it is definitely not high. For example, actors ranked No. [-] have a box office of [-] to [-] million more than him .

The main reason for ranking around fifty is because there are only two movies starring Lin Yuan in theaters, one is "One Man's Martial Arts" and the other is "Scorching Sun". According to the statistics of the box office of these two films, the former has a box office of 6 million and the latter has a box office of 7 million, a total of 13 billion.

Compared with the actors in the first echelon, there is a box office difference of nearly 20 billion. According to this gap, if you take a movie with a guaranteed box office of [-] million, you have to make more than ten movies to catch up, but the problem is waiting for him. After the movie is finished, they may have already given the title of tens of billions of actor.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan could not help but frown.

It is a pity that he is not the leading actor in "Charlotte Annoyance". If he is the leading actor, the gap between Lin Yuan's current box office and Huang Bo's is only a few hundred million.

After a moment of emotion, Lin Yuan also took the initiative to speak.

"Sister Xia, the gap is a bit big."

Originally, he was still full of confidence, but after seeing this data, his heart was half cold.

Sister Xia gave Lin Yuan a blank look, and said angrily: "I think you still have a chance to compete. Don't forget that you still have three movies that haven't been released. When these three movies are released, basically you It’s not much different from the box office of actors like Huang Bo and Wang Baoqiang.”

As Sister Xia's voice fell, Lin Yuan also reacted suddenly.

Right!

I still have three movies that haven't been released yet, and the market for these three movies is much wider than movies like "One Man's Martial Arts".

First, the movie "Detective Chinatown" directed by Chen Sichen, starring him and Wang Baoqiang.

Not to mention him, just based on Wang Baoqiang's box office appeal, there is a guarantee of at least [-] million at the box office, and this is a comedy, with such a huge audience, the box office must at least add another [-] million .

The second is the "Mermaid" movie directed by Master Xing and starring him.

With the golden signboard of Master Xing, the box office will start at [-] million, and this is also a comedy, and it is also the subject that Master Xing is best at. The box office of this movie will definitely not be low. The play is very likely to be the one with the highest box office among the movies he starred in.

The last is "Looking for the Dragon" starring Huang Bo, Shu Qi, and Xia Yu. The "Looking for the Dragon" will not be released until next year's Chinese New Year at the earliest. Although it is a bit late, with this cast, the box office of [-] million is definitely not enough. have to run.

Calculated in this way, the three films can earn at least 20 billion at the box office, plus the previous 13 billion box office of "One Man's Martial Arts" and "Scorching Sun", here is already 33 billion at the box office, which is barely enough to squeeze Into the ranks of the first competitive echelon.

After the calculation, Lin Yuan's confidence increased greatly, and he also became more confident when speaking.

"Sister Xia, after hearing what you said, I suddenly feel that it's not too difficult to win the [-] billion actor."

What Lin Yuan didn't expect was that Sister Xia didn't follow his words, but gave him a blank stare.

Then poured a basin of cold water on Lin Yuan: "You are ashamed to say that if you don't make any online dramas in the middle, if you don't shoot in the name of the people, maybe you already have a box office of 20 billion."

"Hey." Sensing Miss Xia's resentment, Lin Yuan smiled awkwardly.

Sister Xia was right. He was almost a first-line actor when he was filming Yu Sin. It was not difficult to find a starring movie. With a little bit of vision, there should be no problem with the box office of [-] to [-] million.

But when he was filming in the name of the people, he had just won the Golden Goblet Award for Best Actor. At that time, all kinds of directors came to him, including some big-budget movies, with a guaranteed box office of [-] million. But in the face of these storms Lin Yuan dodged all the olive branches one by one.

Therefore, if Lin Yuan had obeyed the arrangement at that time, he might still be able to fight now, at least the gap would not be so big.

Seeing Lin Yuan's reaction, Sister Xia said earnestly, "Let's say it first, if you really want to compete for the tens of billions of actor, then it's best not to make any more TV dramas."

For Lin Yuan's filming of the TV series "In the Name of the People", Sister Xia has always had some opinions.

It's not that I'm not optimistic about this drama, but that the timing of filming this drama is not right. How can an actor turn around to make TV dramas as soon as he wins the Best Actor award? Isn't it good to keep this state and continue to make movies?

However, after learning that Lin Yuan had invested 4000 million into the film crew, Sister Xia was both worried and happy.

The worry is that Lin Yuan’s money will be in vain at that time. After all, the subject matter of this drama is a bit sensitive. So many investors dare not invest. All of a sudden, he lost his savings. If he wanted to make money, he could only make money by making movies. As for advertising endorsements?He has received quite a few before, and there are no advertisements in the market that suit his price.

Besides, Lin Yuan, he immediately heard the subtext of Xia Xia's voice, quickly smiled, and quickly agreed: "Don't worry, Xia Xia, I will go to Hengdian tomorrow to find the crew to pick up the show, and promise to devote myself to filming the film next time." business!"

"Stop talking nonsense, and going to Hengdian to accept the show, why don't you say that you are going to play tricks?" Sister Xia said pretending to be angry.

Lin Yuan got up and walked behind Sister Xia, squeezed her shoulders, and said politely: "Sister Xia, it's really hard work for you. You can help me choose a few movies these days. The salary can be discussed temporarily, but the script and the movie The quality of the cast must not be bad."

The reason for saying this is entirely because when Lin Yuan just watched the top [-] actors at the box office, Lin Yuan found that basically the top-ranked movies were starred by powerful actors, and there were also traffic stars, but very few.

Therefore, he doesn't want to share the stage with traffic stars for the sake of pay.

In his opinion, among the 98 movies with traffic stars, only one or two movies are not bad, and the remaining [-] movies are ready to hit the street. It also stated the bottom line in advance.

After hearing what he said, Sister Xia turned her head to look at him, and then asked, "What do you mean the remuneration is negotiable?"

"If the script is good, the salary can be around 500 million. If the cast is good, the salary can even be relaxed to 1000 million." Lin Yuan expressed his thoughts.

As soon as the words fell, Miss Xia objected: "I can understand 500 million yuan, but the salary of 1000 million yuan is too low, isn't it?"

"Sister Xia, don't even think about it. Now everyone wants to compete for the tens of billions of box office, but there are only so few excellent movies produced every year. I can't make bad movies to make up for the box office, can I?"

"Besides, movies with a luxurious cast basically have a lot of investment, and the salary will definitely not be low. Just let this word out, and people can give priority to it." Lin Yuan directly expressed his thoughts.

The reason why he said this was not to lower his own value, but after consideration.

First of all, the script must be good, and the cast must be luxurious. This kind of movie is basically a big production with an investment of hundreds of millions. Besides, he is now a new actor and has a certain box office appeal. The director can't give other leading actors a price, and then Really give him 1000 million?If this matter gets out, the director's reputation in the circle may not be much better in the future.

Therefore, the purpose of reducing the salary is to attract more people to find me, not to really reduce the price!
Hearing Lin Yuan's explanation, Sister Xia, who thought it was strange at first, suddenly felt that it made sense, so she didn't refute it.

"Well, wait for my news during this time!"

After the conversation, sister Xia didn't talk nonsense and went straight to work.

Seeing that the matter was cleared up, Lin Yuan slipped away immediately after being tired for several months. He only had one thought in his mind now, and that was to lie down, and he had to lie down for a while!
