The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 408 Concert Preparations (Addition: 2130)

The share of box office revenue for domestic films is fixed, with producers accounting for 38% and theaters sharing the rest.

When "Hero" was released last year, Zhang Weiping proposed to increase the sharing ratio to 40%.

At that time, a large theater chain in the imperial capital was dissatisfied with this ratio and did not sign the contract. In the end, Huaying Company, one of the film producers, forcibly intervened to resolve the conflict.

This year "House of Flying Daggers" is about to be released, and Zhang Weiping asked to increase the share ratio to 41%.

It is close to the 43% share of Hollywood blockbusters.

As a result, some theaters such as the Imperial City and Shanghai Metropolis think that the proportion is unreasonable, and have not signed a contract with the film studio to promote publicity. "House of Flying Daggers" reproduces the stalemate encountered in the release of "Hero" last year.

In response to the dissatisfaction of some theater companies, Zhang Weiping said angrily: "We encountered such pressure when we released "Hero" last year, but we withstood it.

Some theater chains in Shanghai thought that our share ratio was high, but we resolved it later.

This year our ratio is also very reasonable!
We invested 2.9 million yuan, invested more than 2000 million yuan in publicity, and the number of copies reached more than 360, more than 50 more than "Heroes", and the cost of copying reached more than 400 million yuan.

For the film "House of Flying Daggers", we still face the copyright temptation of the audiovisual company every day, so we didn't let it be released simultaneously with the film, so we also lost a lot of income.

We have assumed the double risks of investment and distribution, while the theater chains have not taken any risks, and often leak and conceal reports.

But their share ratio is still higher than that of the filmmakers!It's time to change the rules under the planned economic system! "

Of course, the negative attitude of theater companies will definitely have some impact on the box office.

However, Zhang Weiping did not give in: "Whoever is dissatisfied can give up the release, I will never back down!

I have nothing to lose, because the box office of screening in 10 theaters and 5 theaters is actually the same.

Last year we tried to screen in two theaters, and the audience was full, but there were empty seats in 10 halls. "

There are more than one theater chain, some people are stubborn and unwilling to make concessions, but some people don't care.

If you don’t show it, then I will show it. With Zhang Yimou’s name and the quality praised by Cannes, even if the theaters only get 41%, they still make money.

Therefore, after a period of stalemate, when the first theater chain compromised, it represented Zhang Weiping's victory.

Regardless of other things, all film production companies must thank Zhang Weiping for the division of film studios and theaters.

Therefore, in the media and on the Internet, there are not a few filmmakers and film companies who support Zhang Weiping.

Even if it is not clearly supported by chariots and horses, it will never sing against him.

In Gunma County, Dongying, amidst the humming of the motor and the friction of the tires, Chen Shuo smoothly controlled the car and made a complete drift on the track.

Then he slammed the car and parked it firmly in the parking space.

"Papapa~" Zhou Ting applauded approvingly and said, "It's unbelievable, I didn't expect you to be able to run the entire track so easily in just a few days.

I think when the filming starts, you will be able to do it yourself. "

After several days of training, Chen Shuo was able to master the drifting technique.

Of course, in just a few days, it is impossible to pursue any extreme speed.

His drift is more about looking good than speed.

The performance effect is greater than the actual application effect.

Chen Shuo unfastened his seat belt and said, "This is all taught by Brother Zhou."

"It's really a pity that you are so talented." Zhou Ting also took off his seat belt, and said with a regretful face: "If you choose to be a racing driver, you will definitely be very good.

But if you have time in the future, you can also participate in more competitions. "

"Let's talk about it later." Chen Shuo said noncommittally.

After this movie is released, he may actually get a racing talent.

But he still has talents in acting, singing, songwriting, etc., find out his main occupation, and just dabble in the rest.

No matter how extraordinary he is, it is impossible to cover everything, and he must focus on something.

After the two got out of the car, Liu Weiqiang, Zhou Jielun and others gathered around and praised again.

After these few days of getting along, everyone's relationship has become more harmonious.

Especially Chen Shuo and Zhou Jielun, one likes racing cars, the other has a superb racing talent, and they are both singer-songwriters. Under same-sex attraction, their relationship has developed rapidly.

"Oh, not bad, I admit, he is indeed a bit better than me in racing." Zhou Jielun patted Chen Shuo's shoulder on tiptoe, and stretched out his little finger to gesture for a small section.

In the entire entertainment circle, there are those who can easily pat Chen Shuo on the shoulder, but Zhou Jielun is not included.

Most people can only pat him on the arm.

If you want to forcefully pat him on the shoulder, you can only stand on tiptoe like Zhou Jielun, which is a little funny.

However, even if it was a bit funny, Zhou Jielun, who was not to be outdone, would forcefully pat him on the shoulder every time.

And Chen Shuo patted him on the shoulder very easily, and said: "Xiao Zhou, you are not good enough, you still have to practice."

Zhou Jielun was speechless for a while, held back for a long time and vented: "Damn!!"

Liu Weiqiang ignored the jokes of the two and asked, "When are you leaving?"

"Let's go today, prepare for a day tomorrow, and start the day after tomorrow."

It's already the 29th now, and the concert on July 7 is only two days away. If he doesn't leave, he will really take the stage temporarily.

Liu Weiqiang nodded and said with blessing: "You really don't need to practice at your current level. I wish your concert a great success!"

"grateful!"

Chen Shuo returned to the hotel, packed up his things and bid farewell to everyone, and took the crew's car to Tokyo for the plane.

The plane at night got off at the Imperial Capital Airport before dawn, and He Zhengyang sent someone to wait for him at the airport early.

Originally Liu Xiaoli wanted to pick him up, but he didn't let her come because he saw that the time to get off the plane was after four o'clock.

After getting in the car, he didn't go home, but went directly to Jingwen.

When he arrived at the company, He Zhengyang also came to the company with a face full of yawns.

It was less than five o'clock at this time.

Unlike ordinary companies, Jingwen has people available 24 hours a day.

After all, many people in the company often record songs overnight and engage in creation. If they really leave work on time and interrupt their creative thinking, it will make people crazy.

After meeting, while eating breakfast, Chen Shuo asked, "How is the situation?"

He Zhengyang took a bite of the pancake fruit and said, "Everything is ready, if the North Sports can't be used, I will choose the Olympic Sports Center.

It can accommodate 6000 people, and if you count the extra space in the venue, it can reach about [-] people, which is a relatively large place.

Of course, it is far from comparable to the North Body. "

North Sports can hold 8000 people, but it was booked early by Zhang Weiping as the premiere venue of "House of Flying Daggers".

In order to hold the premiere of the imperial capital well, he directly asked people to rebuild a peony workshop inside, and the whole place was redecorated in the style of "Ambush".

Preparations are in full swing now, and it is expected to be completed in a few days.

Chen Shuo finished the pancakes in his hand, added another steamed bun, and asked, "It would be nice if there is a place, how are the tickets selling?"

"What's the point? It was all booked out as soon as it went online, and many people couldn't buy tickets, so they were begging for tickets online."

Chen Shuo stopped his chopsticks and asked, "It's not like our tickets have been taken away by scalpers, right?"

"No, we limit purchases. One person can only buy one ticket. When picking up the ticket, you need an ID card. If you can't provide an ID card, we won't give you a ticket.

Although the scalpers cannot be eradicated, at least they can limit the hoarding of tickets by the scalpers to the greatest extent.

Of course, if people can really find so many people and so many ID cards, there is nothing we can do. "

"That's fine, it can only be done to this extent at this stage."

"Don't worry, the company still attaches great importance to your first concert.

At that time, it is estimated that many people will not be able to buy tickets and stay outside the venue. We have also applied for assistance from relevant departments to ensure the safety of those fans. "

"That's good, who are the resident singers?"

"Teacher Han Hong will come out and sing a song, the other Zhou Xiaoou, the newly signed Dao Lang, Cheng Ming and Ke Yimin who are about to sign.

Of course, it goes without saying that Qianqian, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and others from Zhouyi will be there.

I also contacted Ms. Shan yesterday, saying that I can arrive today. "

"In this way, the number of people is already quite a lot."

"Yes, a concert is only two to three hours long, and each song lasts four to five minutes, and a total of about 5 songs can be sung.

More than half of them will require you to play, after all, the audience is coming for you.

Except for Sissy, the main role of other people is to warm up the scene for you, so that you have time to rest and change clothes. "

Although Chen Shuo now has two albums and [-] well-known songs.

But it is more than enough for a concert.

Besides, he doesn't necessarily have to sing his own song. For example, if Han Hong comes to help out, it's perfectly fine for him to sing a song of the other party's as a reward.

In this way, the room for choice is even more.

After dinner, it was already dawn, He Zhengyang said: "Let's go, let's go directly to the scene to prepare, and other people will come over for a rehearsal one after another today."

"Okay, let's go." Chen Shuo got up and followed him to the Olympic Sports Center.

Seeing that the preparations here are almost ready, a huge truss was built on the north side of the football field to hang lights, audio and so on.

The back is a no-sale area, and some of the seats can only be used as backstage because they cannot see the stage.

In front of the entire stage, the football field was divided into various areas, filled with chairs.

The position on the court belongs to the VIP area, and the position on the stands belongs to the ordinary area.

At the same time, each area will be subdivided into supreme, VIP, guest, front area, back area and so on.

This is also a common practice in concerts or premieres. The ones that are closer to the front are more expensive, and the ones that are farther away are cheaper.

Chen Shuo is well-known now, but after all, he is still a newcomer who has only been in the industry for a few years. The most expensive ticket is only 666 yuan, while the cheapest is 50 yuan.

About the price of a record.

In the end, on average, each seat is equivalent to about 200 yuan, and the cost of a concert ticket alone is nearly 200 million.

There are also various advertisements, sponsorship fees, and weekly film product sales.

Chen Shuo's concert will eventually have a total income of nearly 500 million.

Just his two endorsements, Porsche and Happy Wolf, sponsored nearly one million.

The reason why he is so generous is because he has few endorsements.

Especially Xizhilang, as Chen Shuo became more famous, the more they earned.

The most important thing is that Chen Shuo, Liu Yifei and others really like their products, and they really eat them.

This is more effective than any advertising slogan.

While Chen Shuo was watching the venue, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, and Huang Ying also rushed over.

"The venue is so big!" Liu Yifei stood on the stage, looking at all the seats around her, she couldn't help but feel a little small.

Chen Shuo stood beside her and said, "It will take a while to get used to it. When the lights are turned on at night and the seats are full of people, you will feel even more shocked."

Liu Yifei thought for a while about the crowds of people in front of her, and couldn't help but said, "When you say that, why do I feel even more afraid to go on stage?"

"It's okay, I will accompany you in the first game."

"Aren't you excited?"

"Of course I'm excited, this is my concert!"

"Then why do you feel like you don't feel it?"

"Okay? You have to be calm." Chen Shuo couldn't help but think of his dream.

In the dream, I have seen the scenes of Baiguan's congratulations and Star Wars. It should be no problem for a mere concert of [-] people, right?
What's more, when signing the sales, there were several occasions where tens of thousands of people gathered. Although the concerts will be different, the feeling should be similar.

The lighting effect cannot be seen during the day, but the sound can be tested.

After chatting with Liu Yifei for a while, He Zhengyang asked the two to try the speakers separately.

Chen Shuo's voice has strong penetrating and diffusing power, and with the blessing of the audio system, it can roar the entire venue.

However, Liu Yifei is not as strong as him, and many other singing assistant guests cannot compare with him.

Liu Yifei's voice audition can also help others to audition.

Since the concert will only start tomorrow night, everyone is relatively busy, except for Zhou Xiaoou, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and others who came earlier.

People like Cheng Ming, Ke Yimin, Han Hong and others will wait until tomorrow.

At noon, Jiang Xuerou, Shan Xiaolou brought Yang Junyi, Yu Bo, Zhang Jin, Shu Chang, Yang Guang, Yang Rong, Liu Yang and others all came.

It can be said that the company's performing arts department was dispatched as a whole to support his first concert.

Among them, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi, Shu Chang, and Sunshine are the supporting singing guests, while Zhang Jin, Yang Rong, and Liu Yang are not yet well-known. Apart from helping, they also want to take this opportunity to show their faces.

The same as them are from Jingwen's side.

At the beginning of this year, several rookie singers trained by He Zhengyang made their debut one after another. Although the response was not as great as Chen Shuo's, the sales of hundreds of thousands were considered to be a firm foothold.

You must know that some singers who have been famous for a long time are not able to sell more than them every time.
