People in China Entertainment, bring capital into the group at the beginning

Chapter 247 Borrowing Flowers to Offer Buddha, Conscientious Entrepreneur!

Is Ning Hao stupid?

Obviously impossible.

It is impossible for a fool to hang out in the circle for such a long time, and he has made several movies with good quality.

Therefore, Ning Hao is not only not stupid, but smarter than most people. It is obviously difficult to see Chen Zhibin eyeing the role of Cheng Yong.

Not to mention that the leading actor has already been reserved by Xu Zheng, who is also one of the producers, and the age and image alone do not match.

"The prototype of the character Cheng Yong is a middle-aged man." Ning Hao said, since Chen Zhibin knows this movie so well, even the names of the characters in the movie, he must also know the prototype of the character itself.

"Then which role do you think is more suitable for me?" Chen Zhibin asked.He also knew that he did not fit the character set of this character, and the reason why he said that was entirely to leave himself a room to decline.

If Chen Zhibin directly asks for the male number two, Ning Hao will also hesitate, maybe he will use a male number three or a less important role to prevaricate him.

But what Chen Zhibin wanted was the male lead. In this case, as long as Chen Zhibin agreed to bring money into the crew, no matter how bad the crew was, they had to give the male lead a try, otherwise, it would be really hard to do anything.

"Cao Bin, the younger brother of Cheng Yong's ex-wife, a conscientious policeman." After thinking for a while, Ning Hao finally said a name.

"Male number two?" Chen Zhibin asked after hearing this.

In fact, his first thought was also this role. Lu Yiyi played by Wang Chuanjun and Huang Mao played by Zhang Yu still test the acting skills of actors.

Although Chen Zhibin's acting skills are not bad among the younger generation of actors in the entertainment industry, it can even be said to be very good, but it is definitely not up to the level of explosion.

In addition, the external image is not very suitable, even after putting on makeup, it is still young and handsome that cannot be concealed, so it is quite inconsistent.

"Of course." Ning Hao nodded, and said with certainty: "The role of Cao Bin is the male number two, and the character design is quite brilliant."

Fearing that Chen Zhibin would disagree, Ning Hao even went on to add: "Aren't you still filming The Wandering Earth? The character Cao Bin plays a more important role in the film, and the scenes are not particularly large, so there is no need for it at all." I am worried about the shooting here, and the time is just right."

Although the start time of "The Wandering Earth" has been advanced, it is not many days away from the shooting of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", so even if Chen Zhibin and Cheng Yong are given the role, he probably doesn't have much time to act.

In addition, the age of the characters does not match, so Chen Zhibin's role as the second male Cao Bin can be said to be the most suitable choice.

This character is resolute and upright, cold on the outside and hot on the inside. He is the one who plays against the old lady with leukemia in the film, and he is also the one who carries the yellow hair into the hospital.

At the end of the movie, when Cheng Yong was released from prison, he was the only one driving to pick him up.

Some people say that in the whole movie, Cao Bin is the one who values ​​the most affection. Although he is not a member of the "drug selling squad" and did not participate in the reselling, he has never stayed out of it!

When I was watching "I'm Not the God of Medicine", everyone thought that Lu Yiyi, played by Wang Chuanjun, was the second male because of the wonderful and lifelike patient performance, but in fact, Zhou Wei ranked ahead of him.

After all, Wang Chuanjun had starred in TV dramas before this, and Zhou Yiwei just relied on Ding Xiu's words "very moist" and "need to add money" in "Embroidered Spring Knife" two years ago, successfully exploded out of the circle, and was widely praised. Less viewers and fans to keep in mind.

There is also a chain of contempt in the film and television industry. Star TV dramas cannot watch online dramas, movies cannot watch TV dramas, and theaters cannot watch big online movies.

And with Chen Zhibin's current popularity, Xu Zheng, a movie star with many masterpieces such as the "People on the Journey" series, can be slightly better.

The others are not enough to watch, not to mention that the role of Cao Bin is the second male lead, even if he is not, because his performance will be upgraded to the second male lead.

Except for the protagonist, which character's rank is high is determined entirely by the fame of the actor who plays the character. Even if the role is relatively small, no matter how bad it is, you have to play a special role or a friendship role.

The most direct one is "The Wandering Earth". Because the male and female leading actors are both newcomers to the film, Wu Jing successfully upgraded from a guest role to a leading actor, and the second part that follows specifically tells his story.

The so-called "The Wandering Earth 2" is actually the prequel of the first one, and there are a lot of bad reviews on the Internet, and the word-of-mouth is far inferior to the first one.

As the pioneering work of hard science fiction in the past 30 years, if "Flow 1" is called an amazing work, then "Flow 2" is relatively mediocre.

This is not just because of the aesthetic fatigue of movie fans and audiences. The most important thing is that the movie has not improved, but has regressed a lot.

Weak plots have always been a common problem of blockbuster special effects movies. I thought it was an American patent, but I didn't expect domestic movies to escape this disaster in the end.

"Yes, how much is the salary?" Chen Zhibin asked.

To be honest, he is also very fond of the role of Cao Bin, and the next thing is to talk about the salary.

"This may not be too high." Ning Hao said with some embarrassment.

The total investment of the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is 7000 million yuan. He came to Chen Zhibin to discuss this matter to make up for part of the funds that other producers had withdrawn, not to make additional investment. The meaning is still different.

Because it is a realist movie based on a true story, the producer is looking for talented actors who are not too well paid, and has no plan to hire some popular spicy chicken to attract popularity and win fans.

Of course, it would be even better if they could get it, but they definitely wouldn't want to take extra money for a sensitive movie that wasn't even aired.

So, it's not that Ning Hao can't give too much, it's the reality.

"It's not high, it's not too high, how much you can give, I have to say roughly, it can't be zero pay for acting!" Chen Zhibin asked.

"About a few million." Ning Hao said after a calculation.This is already the highest sincerity he can show for the role of Cao Bin.

Although it's not low, but compared to the entertainment industry where the salary is tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, it really can't be considered high.

"Well, I don't want the several million film remuneration. I will use it all on the promotion and shooting of the film. After the film is released, the box office will exceed one billion or more. In the name of the film crew and my company, a leukemia patient relief fund will be established. Yes, how about donating 1 million yuan to the foundation for every more than 1000 million yuan? This request should not be too much, right?" Chen Zhibin asked.

Anyway, with his current net worth and the development prospects of Abin Venture Capital Company, it doesn't matter if there are more than a few million or less.

However, he really wants to act in this movie. It is obviously unrealistic for Ning Hao to persuade other producers to continue to invest more. He simply uses his several million yuan salary to gain a good reputation in the entertainment industry. .

After the movie was released, word of mouth exploded and the box office soared. The crew donated two small goals just in this name.

At that time, I will buy Sailor Army and run it casually. The exposure is Chen Zhibin's choice of acting with zero pay, and he finally exchanged this condition with the crew. With the popularity of the movie, it will not be on the hot search every minute.

Although it is said that Chen Zhibin lost millions of salary on the surface, but secretly he also lost millions of salary.

Of course, money is one thing, and reputation is another. Many people choose to exchange fame for money, but there are also many people who choose to exchange money for reputation.

In the entertainment circle, having a good reputation means that the actor has relatively good and loyal fans, which is the so-called passerby.

Although this situation will not be realized immediately, but for Chen Zhibin's overall acting career in the future, the hidden benefits he will get are huge.

In order to have super popularity and good popularity, I don’t know how many top celebrities in the circle spend money on announcements, popularity, trending searches, and everything!

Relatively speaking, Chen Zhibin's several million yuan is not enough.

I remember that there was a fake popularity top streamer, in order to make advertisers and partners believe that he was really popular in the entertainment industry, and even the illusion of "popularity", he kept buying trending searches, buying popularity, buying announcements, in short Even if it is uninterrupted, at least every three to five times will show up in front of the audience.

Hundreds of millions of dollars are earned every year, more than half of which is spent on it, and there may be no second-line artist earning as much throughout the year.

Therefore, the entertainment industry is not only a circle, but also a vicious circle where people can easily lose themselves. But anyone who enters this circle, no matter what industry they are, will gradually lose themselves in the face of such a high income, and thus go Can't come out, and don't want to come out of it.

After all, if a person who earns 1 yuan easily and glamorously in a day, you let him rack his brains and work hard to earn 100 yuan, is that possible?
However, the entertainment industry full of luxury and wealth not only meets this requirement, but also has various other temptations of fame and fortune that emerge one after another, prompting batch after batch of people to drill into it one after another.

In the end, there are less than one in ten thousand people who can really get in and become famous, and the remaining people can only become stepping stones.

"The box office is more than 1000 million, and for every [-] million more, donate [-] million?" Ning Hao seemed a little unconvinced, and repeated what he said just now to confirm.

"Yes, is this too much to ask?" Chen Zhibin asked.

"Not too much, not too much." Ning Hao quickly shook his head and said, "It's not too much at all. It seems that you are quite optimistic about our movie."

Chen Zhibin's optimism for this movie was beyond Ning Hao's expectation, maybe even he and the director Wen Muye were not so confident.

"Of course, if you don't think about what I'm investing in it for, I can't take out 2000 million to make a fool of myself." Chen Zhibin joked with a smile.

"That's not the case." Ning Hao shook his head hastily. In fact, it's not certain whether it will be in vain. After all, with the subject matter of this movie, he can't guarantee that it will be broadcast [-]% after the filming is finished. .

I only see investment, but no returns. After filming, there are not many film and television dramas folded in, but there are still quite a few every year.

Of course, Ning Hao didn't dare to tell Chen Zhibin this kind of thing, after all, he came to find someone to make up for the missing investment, not to talk to someone here!

Chen Zhibin is well aware of this, but he also knows better that this movie can be shown in theaters, and the return rate is not usually high!
Even "The Wandering Earth" with a box office of 46 billion and "Wolf Warrior 54" with a box office of 2 billion can't compare with his box office of more than 30 billion.

After all, the total investment of the first two films was several hundred million at every turn. The investment was high, the risk was high, and the profit amount was even higher.

And the total investment of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is only 7000 million yuan, and the return on investment can be said to be lucrative.

"How? Is this okay?" Chen Zhibin asked.

"I think it is definitely possible, but this matter is not something I can decide on my own. I have to discuss it with other producers."

Ning Hao himself definitely agrees with both hands and feet. After all, it not only saves the film salary, but also can actually do good deeds for leukemia patients. By the way, it also helps their entire crew earn a good reputation, so it is not a waste of patients.

However, this kind of matter is indeed not something he can decide on his own, so Ning Hao did not dare to reply rashly. Of course, one thing can be guaranteed, he must be the first choice to stand by Chen Zhibin and help him convince other producers.

In addition, the most important point is that the box office needs to be more than one billion yuan, and only 1 million yuan needs to be donated for every 1000 million yuan increase.

Not to mention whether this figure can be achieved is still unknown, if it is achieved, it may not care about the donation of 1000 million yuan.

And if it can't be achieved, Chen Zhibin himself is a zero-pay actor, no matter what aspect it is, it is not a bad thing for the crew!
Therefore, Ning Hao has no reason not to support it.

"Okay, I'll discuss it with them when you go back, and I'll wait for your news." Chen Zhibin felt that this matter should be relatively easy to explain, after all, this is the story of a leukemia patient. This is how it is done, but the amount of donations is relatively small.

But now, Chen Zhibin is still using the same routine, but using the millions of yuan of salary as a medium to transfer all the credit and reputation earned from this donation to himself and the company as much as possible.

According to the box office in the previous life, for every 1 million yuan after more than 1000 billion yuan, [-] million yuan will be donated, and the amount must be at least [-] million yuan.

If Chen Zhibin can really use his several million salary to leverage the donation leverage of more than [-] million, it can be regarded as a good deed.

Of course, the current amount given by Chen Zhibin is not the final amount, and this is still negotiable. After all, it is not as easy as imagined to get capital to donate money, even if it is money that has not yet been obtained or may not be obtained.

"No problem, I will try my best to explain it to them." Ning Hao responded, and at the same time praised without hesitation: "Boss Chen's mind can really be called a conscientious entrepreneur."
