China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 59 Warning
"Cohabitation Beyond Time and Space", the heroine Tong Liya and the actor Lei Jiayin are both newcomers to the film, and even Lei Jiayin is acting for the first time.

The investment is less than 500 million, new film, small production, but relying on the quality of the film, it defeated a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan luxury star lineup and large-scale production. These films failed miserably, and I don’t know how many film companies went bankrupt because of this.

This also broke the monopoly of Xiangjiang superstars on domestic films. It was the first time in China that a movie starring actors other than Xiangjiang superstars, Ge You, and Li Lianjie was so popular.

Maybe a movie can only be said to be a coincidence.

Film and television companies do not believe in evil.

After all, he walked the road for ten years before, and it went very smoothly. The starring role is a Hong Kong superstar, and this road can make money lying down.

But this year, "Tang Detective" hits hard again. The lineup of Wang Baoqiang + Tong Liya + Hu Ge is still only an average lineup in the film field.

Although Hu Ge is in the front line, he used to mix TV dramas, and the movie circle doesn't recognize the TV drama circle.

However, the popularity of "Tang Detective" trampled the luxurious starring lineup of "Sword Rain", with a total investment of [-] million yuan. As a result, the box office in the first week just exceeded [-] million yuan, which was obviously a disastrous box office failure.

"Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", the director Xu Laoguai has a great reputation, invested 1.3 million yuan, and has a star lineup. Hua Yi is the investor and the publisher, investing a lot of resources. Hua Yi also invested a lot of filming for "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven".

A group of superstars lost to the combination of Wang Baoqiang + Tong Liya + Hu Ge, which is really surprising.

Before, they had publicized that "Tang Detective" would be attacked by "Sword Rain" and "Di Renjie: The Heavenly Empire".

As a result, in the first week of National Day, the gap was obvious.

In the second week of National Day, "Tang Detective" hit 2.75 million, while "Sword Rain" dropped tens of millions in the second week and only got 800 million box office.
The performance of "Tang Detective" is still strong this week, showing super dominance, 55% of the film schedule contributed almost 70% of the box office.

The media also began to build momentum, such as the birth of a great director, the rise of young mainland actors, and so on.

Many film and television companies have realized that Hong Kong actors are not needed for big productions, and mainland actors can also hold the box office.

You must know that the film and television companies in the mainland are not willing to use Hong Kong actors. After all, the salaries of these Hong Kong actors are higher than each other, and they can be tens of millions at every turn.

Looking at the current salary list, Li Lianjie's salary is 1 million yuan, which is jaw-dropping.Cheng Long's salary is as high as 3000 million yuan, ranking second; Zhou Runfa's salary is 2500 million yuan, ranking second, which is also Li Lianjie's salary, which can stand shoulder to shoulder with Zhou Runfa.

Donnie Yen's remuneration for the two "Ip Man" films is 2000 million RMB!

Liang Chaowei, Liang Yingdi, the salary needs to be 1100 million RMB!

Guo Fucheng, Jin Chengwu, Li Ming, Gu Tianle paid 600 million yuan, Xie Tingfeng and Wu Yanzu paid 300 million yuan, Lin Zhiling paid 250 million yuan
Look again, Wang Baoqiang in "Tang Detective" is only 200 million RMB, Tong Liya is 300 million RMB, and Hu Ge only has a pitiful 30 RMB!

In the end, it took the box office of "Tang Detective".

This year's National Day file, "Tang Detective" has undisputedly pre-booked the box office champion of the National Day file and the annual Chinese film box office champion, and is even expected to break the box office record of "Avatar" and win the mainland box office champion!
"Cohabitation in Time and Space" was a success, and "Tang Detective" was also a success. These two successes naturally triggered a new round of thinking in the media and film industry!
Therefore, in addition to reporting the news of "Tang Detective", some reports are also very popular.

That is, are superstars a must-have element for big productions?
Is Xiangjiang superstar a big-budget movie or a must-have element for a movie?
In the past, the film industry has summed up a rule, that is, if you look for superstars and first-line stars in Hong Kong, you may not be sure to sell well, but if you don't look for it, you will definitely not be able to sell at the box office. This has almost become an axiom in the film industry!
At that time, even if domestic first-line actors of the Mesozoic generation were paid millions of dollars at most, which was cheap and practical, they still couldn’t get leading roles in blockbuster movies, and they couldn’t even get leading roles in movies with a medium cost of 5000 to [-] million.

The only exception is "Assembly". "Assembly" broke this convention. Before that, Zhang Hanyu hadn't even played the leading role.

This is a male actor, and it's even worse for an actress. Even if you accompany him to drink and sleep, the roles you get are often not good.

And in 2008, Mr. Chen single-handedly affected the Mesozoic generation of the entire Xiangjiang entertainment industry. Only then did the Mesozoic actors in the mainland emerge, and their salary also rose steadily.

Now "Cohabitation in Time and Space" and "Detective Chinatown" are hot at the box office, which already shows that Xiangjiang stars are not indispensable, and mainland actors can also afford the box office. The quality of the movie is the most important thing. If the audience likes it, it can still sell well.

After all, the opponents defeated by "Cohabitation in Time and Space" and "Detective Chinatown" are numerous Xiangjiang stars, including superstars and first-line stars!

There is no doubt that this is a warning!

The evening of April 10.

The last day of the seven-day National Day holiday.

Li Hao and others met in the meeting room of Haotian Media headquarters.

This is the first crew meeting of "Love Story in Beijing". Tomorrow there will be a press conference for the new film, and it will also be the opening ceremony.

Originally, "Beijing Love Story" was supposed to start filming in the middle of last month, but it was delayed until now.

There are a total of 22 actors, the male lead is Hu Ge, the female lead is Jing Tian, ​​Tang Yan plays Lu Jiaman, and Guan Xiaotong plays a small actor as usual.

The cast is also considered luxurious!

When Hu Ge is the leading actor, the salary is not high, 50 RMB, while Jing Tian’s salary is 300 million RMB, and Tang Yan’s is only 10 RMB.

And there are already 3000 million embedded advertisements in movies. These advertisements will appear in movies, and they will not be deliberate. If the embedded advertisements are released and movies are not considered, let alone 3000 million embedded advertisements, even 5000 million is not impossible.

This also means that the filming of "Love Story in Beijing" has not yet started, not only the cost has been recovered, but also a lot of money has been made.

This meeting was held in a large conference room, which was more than enough to accommodate the entire conference room.

"First of all, I'm sorry, the filming won't start until today." Li Hao said slightly apologetically.

After all, most people have a schedule, and delay means that there is a loss.
