China Entertainment: Gao Yanei wants to be the best actor

Chapter 257 Make money!

After being reminded by Gao Fei, I don't know why Ning Hao left, but after all, "No Man's Land" won this year's Oscar.

Gao Fei was naturally overjoyed when he heard the news.

After all, "No Man's Land" is still a literary film after all.

Although there are popular stars like Gao Fei joining in, as well as the addition of the Berlin Film Festival, no one can guarantee how much the movie will get at the final box office.

Therefore, even if Gao Fei doesn't care about the Oscar quota, it is good to have one more gimmick to attract the audience to watch the movie.

It's just that after the first day's box office came out, Gao Fei was still a little disappointed looking at the numbers on the report.

"Only 600 million?"

If Gao Fei remembers correctly, at the beginning of the year, "Certificate of Voting" won a box office of 1120 million on the first day.

Calculated in this way, it is almost twice that of "No Man's Land".

However, compared to Gao Fei, after seeing this result, Ning Hao was not only not disappointed at all, but rather happily opened a bottle of red wine to celebrate.

He pulled Gao Fei down to sit beside him, and poured a glass of red wine for Gao Fei himself.

Seeing that Gao Fei seemed a little depressed, Ning Hao immediately smiled and said:
"Okay, it's great to have this result, after all, we are a literary film."

"According to China Film Group's forecast, the final box office of "No Man's Land" may be around 9000 million. If you're lucky, it might even exceed [-] million."

Speaking of this, Ning Hao couldn't help but squinted a sip of the red wine, and then he squinted his eyes halfway, leaning on the sofa and sighing with emotion:
"To be honest, I already feel like I'm dreaming to achieve this result."

Ning Hao's words are absolutely from the bottom of his heart.

Because Wang Quan'an's "Tuya's Marriage", which won the Berlin Golden Bear Award the year before last, only had a domestic box office of only 544 million, which is not as much as the first-day box office of "No Man's Land".

So when he saw China Film's box office forecast report, not only was Ning Hao not disappointed, but he was too happy.

You must know that the literary film "Riding Alone for a Thousand Miles" that Lao Mouzi collaborated with Takakura Ken before, the final box office was only more than 3000 million.

And after hearing what Ning Hao said, Gao Fei also realized that he seemed a little drifting.

You must know that "No Man's Land" is a literary film!

Isn't it worth being happy to have the current box office?
Thinking of this, Gao Fei immediately had a drink with Ning Hao with a smile on his face.

However, thinking of the two examples mentioned by Ning Hao, Gao Fei suddenly had a thought, and immediately asked curiously:
"Mouse, if the final box office is really similar to what China Film predicted, will our movie be the top box office Chinese literary film?"

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of Huang Bo and Yu Nan beside him could not help but brighten up.

Even seeing the three people in the room, they couldn't help but look at Ning Hao with piercing eyes.

Just when he let a few people down, Ning Hao shook his head in disappointment and said:
"Don't even think about it, even if "No Man's Land" has a box office of over [-] million, the highest-grossing literary film is not ours!"

After all, before Gao Fei asked who was so awesome, Ning Hao took the initiative to explain:

"In 1993, before the reform of the domestic film market, the global box office of "Farewell My Concubine" was almost 3000 million US dollars."

"As for the domestic box office...that's calculated based on the number of moviegoers."

"However, the number of movie viewers in mainland China exceeds 1000 million. Even if the average ticket price is 4 yuan per ticket, there are more than 4000 million people."

Speaking of this, Ning Hao couldn't help shaking his head and said with emotion:
"Tsk tsk~ That's more than 1993 million in 4000!"

Hearing this, neither Huang Bo nor Yu Nan said anything anymore.

Although a few people have ridiculed the outrageousness of "The Promise" in the past, but when it comes to "Farewell My Concubine", they still admire it.

Maybe Gao Fei didn't feel much because of his young age, but both Ning Hao and Huang Bo had seen the scene of paying for food to go to the movies.

So Gao Fei, who hadn't been floating for a long time, was dragged back to the ground by Ning Hao, who didn't know what to do.

Of course, it's always nice to see No Man's Land hit the box office.

Soon, one month later, as the box office of "No Man's Land" gradually approached the [-] million yuan mark, China Film Group took the opportunity to hold a grand celebration banquet.

Almost all the celebrities in Beijing were invited by China Film Group.

Not to mention, this trick really works.

The [-] million yuan box office mark that was supposed to be rejected and welcomed was easily smashed by "No Man's Land" just like that.

So amidst the laughter, not only Ning Hao was successfully sought after by the domestic media as a talented director capable of writing and business, but even Gao Fei successfully established the image of a powerful actor in the hearts of the audience.

After all, the name of the best actor in Berlin can still fool people.

At least both the directors in the circle and the audience in the movie theater recognize this thing.

For a while, Gao Fei received a lot more invitations for literary films.

It's just a pity that there are few books that Gao Fei can take a fancy to.

……

2008, April 3.

When "No Man's Land" was still grossing 80 yuan at the box office, Gao Fei had already left it behind the noise, turned around and joined another crew.

Speaking of which, when the news came out that Gao Fei turned down the invitations to the two films "Robot Man" and "The Assassin", many people in the circle thought that he was either crazy, or he was caught by the previous paragraph. The scenery of time is carried away with joy.

Especially Zhang Ziyi, she couldn't understand why Gao Fei still wanted to act in a TV series after winning the Best Actor in Berlin?
For this reason, she even ignored the meager friendship between the two, and took the initiative to call Gao Fei to find out the inside story in the name of persuasion.

But after listening to Gao Fei's answer, she couldn't help but turn dark.

"For money? Only ghosts would believe it!"

Zhang Ziyi knew that Gao Fei had made a lot of money in the past two years.

Although this guy's salary is not as much as hers, but Gao Fei either brings money into the group, or saves the game by himself, and the money he earns is simply not comparable to that of ordinary actors.

Seeing Gao Fei not telling the truth, Zhang Ziyi had no choice but to hang up the phone.

It's just that Zhang Ziyi didn't know that the reason why Gao Fei accepted "Sword and Sword III" this time was because Tang Ren gave too much this time.

It is said that in the chain of contempt in the domestic film and television industry, although those who make movies often look down on those who make TV dramas.

But one thing I have to admit is that making TV series is not only easier to attract investment, but the probability of making money is much higher than that of movies.

After all, when ordinary filmmakers are still cheering for investing over ten million yuan, the group of people who make TV dramas are almost playing projects with 5000 to [-] million yuan.

Just like the original "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", before the filming started, Tang Ren publicized that the total investment of the TV series was around 6000 million yuan.

Of course, the figures for external publicity are naturally inaccurate.

However, according to Gao Fei's later understanding, although "Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" did not cost 6000 million, there was always a cost of 3000 million.

And this time, in order to make Gao Fei nod, Cai Yinong really gave Gao Fei a remuneration that he couldn't refuse - 25 yuan per episode.

It can be said that in the current TV drama circle, even if the group of old bacon is included, Gao Fei's treatment can be regarded as the only one.

And this "Xian San" was filmed, and Gao Fei could get almost 800 million.

So Gao Fei couldn't find a reason to reject Cai Yinong.

Movie cafes have high standards, but they don’t get paid as quickly as TV dramas!

……

Shanghai, Tang Ren's headquarters.

When Gao Fei arrived, the main creators of the "Xian San" crew were almost there.

Because today is going to take a trial photo, so none of the actors dare to neglect.

After seeing Gao Fei, Old Hu Dang even smiled and greeted him.

At this moment, he had just changed into the costumes in the play, and Gao Fei couldn't help but rejoice in his sloppy and tattered clothes, saying:

"Fortunately, I didn't choose Sedum."

In fact, after Tang Ren's screenwriter changed "The Three Immortals" to a structure of two male protagonists, he no longer struggled with having Hu Ge play Sedum, so Cai Yinong gave Gao Fei a chance to choose.

It's just that Gao Fei didn't want to repeat himself because the character of Sedum overlapped with the previous Li Xiaoyao, so he chose another character "Xu Changqing" without hesitation.

Hearing what Gao Fei said, Lao Hu immediately gave him a helpless look and said:

"You are happy, but I am miserable."

While talking, Hu Ge also habitually lifted his pants.

No way, I don't know who designed this suit. After Hu Ge put it on, he always felt that his pants kept falling down.

So in order not to leak out, Hu Ge had no choice but to lift up his trousers after walking a few steps.
