I am a director, but I have the skills of an actor

Chapter 214

Wan Qingshan wanted to delay the scolding on the Internet until more people scolded him, and then he would guide it.

However, Han Hong published a blog the night after Li Yancheng called, saying, "In response to the online criticism, Director Wan didn't want to say anything, but she had to say it. Director Wan is very enthusiastic about charity. Since 2004, Director Wan has been very enthusiastic about charity." In the beginning, she donated 100 million every year to support her charity work. '

Han Hong also posted a record on her blog of Wanqingshan's unshakable transfer of 100 million by the end of the year in the past few years.

Unlike those celebrities who donate money only when disaster strikes, they donate money every year!
This situation surprised netizens. Many of them knew that celebrities donate money for fame, but it is normal to gain a good reputation after donating money, and no one said anything.

But now, there is actually a celebrity who doesn't just donate money during disasters, but donates money every year.

This person is most afraid of comparisons. Compared with other celebrities, Wan Qingshan is simply incredible.

As a result, Wan Qingshan's reputation immediately became praised by everyone.

In the past, Wan Qingshan's fans acted like cowards because they had nothing to say to refute, but now that they have something to refute, they immediately came out and trolled those who had previously scolded Wan Qingshan.

When Wan Qingshan received a call from Han Hong and heard that Han Hong had revealed on the Internet that he would donate 100 million every year, he felt a little pained. He wanted to wait for more people to scold him.

Although it has gained him a lot of popularity now, it is still far from the goal in his heart!

The next day, while the Internet was still praising him, Wanqingshan's leisure time was over.

After flying to the capital, Wan Qingshan found a hotel to stay in, and then went to Qingshan Film and Television Company to check out, and then he came to China Film.

Entering Han Sanping's office, Wan Qingshan saw Han Sanping still reading documents behind his desk, so he sat down on the sofa and waited.

After the secretary brought water to Wan Qingshan, Han Sanping put down the documents.

"Well, in the past few days, the higher authorities have sent documents to the General Administration, various TV stations, and several major state-owned film and television companies, asking them to take precautions against public opinion. As a result, I have been either in meetings or reading documents these days."

Wan Qingshan raised his eyebrows. Why did Han Sanping tell him this kind of thing? Could it have something to do with him?

After Wan Qingshan's thoughts flashed for a moment, he smiled and said, "Director Han, it's really hard for you to be in this position.

If you are busy, I can calculate the copyright fee for "Huo Qubing" later. "

Han Sanping's expression froze for a moment, and then he shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "You are so good. Okay, I won't beat around the bush anymore, let me tell you directly. The higher authorities are now vigorously promoting the mainland and the Wanwan Port. communication between islands.

Film and television exchanges are also exchanges, so during the recent period, you should not go against the trend and cause trouble with the Hong Kong film and television industry. In the end, your father-in-law's family will come to protect you. That will not look good. "

"Director Han, thank you for your suggestion. But don't worry, I will definitely not have any conflicts with them during this period. I just plan to take a break recently. If I don't contact them, there will be no conflicts."

Wan Qingshan didn't take it seriously. He had nothing to do recently. He planned to fly back to Shenzhen to continue working as a free fish after dividing the money, so he didn't go home to clean up, but stayed in a hotel.

"No, no, it's okay if you don't get in touch with them. You are now a leading figure among the young generation in the mainland film and television industry. In a while, the General Administration will hold a film and television exchange meeting between the three places. You must come." Han Sanping said quickly. .

Wan Qingshan couldn't help but roll his eyes and asked him to get in touch with the Hong Kong Island and Bay Area film and television circles. Even if he didn't cause trouble, things would come to him based on his relationship with those in the Hong Kong Island film and television circles.

"Director Han, you are going to make me a doormat, so I can't do it. The worst is, after I leave you, I will travel abroad, and I don't believe that the General Administration can still let me do it. I rushed back from abroad to attend this exchange meeting."

Han Sanping's face stiffened and he said in a deep voice, "Qingshan, why don't you understand? Hong Kong's film and television industry is integrated into the mainland's film and television industry. This is the route set by the higher authorities. You cannot treat the Hong Kong Island's film and television industry as an outsider."

"Then they have to treat people in the mainland film and television industry as their own. I'm just a businessman. I can do some things according to my own preferences. Director Han, you can't treat me as a businessman according to the requirements of the system."

Han Sanping now has a headache. Although Wan Qingshan is a businessman, his influence is not small. If he continues to refuse to ease relations with the Hong Kong film and television industry, the impact will be very bad!

When Han Sanping was about to continue persuading him, there was a knock on the door.

dong dong!

"Director Han, Mr. Wang is here!"

The secretary's voice outside the door made Han Sanping unable to continue persuading him.

He turned around and said, "Please come in, Mr. Wang!"

"Director Han, Director Wan."

After Wang Changtian came, Jiang Zhiqiang came soon, and then everyone started to divide the money.

Han Sanping and Hillier have negotiated the overseas copyright of "Huo Qubing" for US$6000 million!
This price sets a new price for overseas copyrights of Chinese-language films!
The price of 6000 million US dollars exceeded everyone’s expectations, and their psychological price was US$[-].

5000 million U.S. dollars, Wan Qingshan's "Loyal Liver, Righteous Dangers" has a good box office overseas, and now "Loyal Liver, Righteous Dangers" is still selling well in North America and Europe.

5000 million US dollars, excluding Colombia's 20% share, as long as they pay 4000 million US dollars, as long as "Huo Qubing" has the same results as "Loyal Liver and Righteous Brave", Colombia can still make a lot of money. They think that this price should allow Xili You accept.

As for them, US$5000 million can recoup most of their investment, and then the mainland box office will be 3000 million. In this case, plus some scattered income, they can recover the cost, and if possible, earn [-] million.

With an investment of more than 7000 million yuan, the biggest goal is to earn 3000 yuan. If it is spread to the outside world, no one will dare to believe it.

But the fact is that it is difficult for blockbusters to make money. There is no way to win overseas global box office. The mainland film market is like this now. It cannot support a movie with a box office of more than [-] billion. How can you make money with an investment of hundreds of millions.

Of course, a large part of the reason for this is that Wan Qingshan's director fee and film remuneration are too high. At 500 million US dollars, his remuneration accounted for almost one-third of the total investment.

But without Wan Qingshan, no one would want the overseas copyright of "Huo Qubing", let alone US$5000 million, even US$2000 million.

The overseas version of "The Banquet" sold well except in island countries, but the copyright fees in other regions were very low, totaling less than 2000 million U.S. dollars. This was even with Zhang Ziyi starring, so in the end it is still difficult to make money from blockbusters.

Although blockbusters do not make money, they have great influence. If overseas blockbusters are successful at the box office, they can bring many hidden benefits.

"Hero" made Zhang Ziyi famous internationally, and deepened the cooperation between Jiang Zhiqiang and Hollywood companies. After "Hero", many Hollywood companies gave him the distribution rights of movies in Hong Kong Island.

This is why it is difficult to make money from high-risk blockbusters, but mainland private film and television companies were still obsessed with investing in blockbusters in the past few years.

And Han Sanping is obsessed with investing in blockbusters, unlike private companies with a profit motive. Even if the blockbuster loses money, Han Sanping, in the position of chairman of China Film Group, still has to invest. Blockbusters can stimulate the film market, expand the film market, and make a living. How many people depend on movies for a living.

,,,,,,
The overseas copyright of "Huo Qubing" can be sold at a price that exceeds everyone's expectations!
It's because after Wan Qingshan brought "Huo Qubing" to Cannes for screening, many North American and European reporters reported on the film and praised Wan Qingshan for changing his previous small-scenario films and using an epic war blockbuster to prove that he is not just an actor. A master, but also a master director.

Reporters reported that many viewers at the screening expressed their love for "Huo Qubing" online and even said that it was a movie depicting a character similar to Hitler.

Someone like Hitler!This has made many people full of expectations for the movie, causing the movie to become somewhat popular even before it was released.

Hillier was worried that other film studios would offer high prices to buy the film rights, so he stopped procrastinating and agreed to it when he and Han Sanping negotiated $6000 million.

Some time ago, Hillier paid 800 million US dollars.

Originally, Han Sanping planned to wait until September to share the money with the domestic profits of "Huo Qubing".

But Wang Changtian couldn't wait any longer. In June last year, he fully acquired Jiahe and borrowed a lot of money from abroad.

After a year, the capital turnover pressure is still very high, so Han Sanping was asked to divide the 6000 million US dollars first.

Several people signed the contract handed over by Han Sanping. After Han Sanping said that the money would be transferred in the next two days, Jiang Zhiqiang left first because he had something to do. Wan Qingshan also wanted to leave, but Wang Changtian persuaded him to stay.

Then, the three of them started chatting.

Apart from movies, there was nothing else to talk about between them, so as they kept talking, Wang Changtian ended up talking about "The Sorrow of Charlotte".

"Charlotte Troubles" has investments from Enlight Pictures and China Film, so Wang Changtian and Han Sanping both know about Lu Bing's troubles.

"Director Wan, are you going to change the story about the crew like this?" Wang Changtian asked with a smile.

"Yeah, what else can I do?"

Wan Qingshan said while observing Wang Changtian's expression.

Lu Bing had his own reasons for being distracted, but Wan Qingshan also believed that someone must have contacted Lu Bing and made some guarantee to Lu Bing.

Otherwise, Lu Bing wouldn't be so stupid that he would dare to escape like this without finding a new home.

The person who contacted Lu Bing, Wan Qingshan, was most suspicious of Wang Changtian. Enlight Media's artist has not developed. When his contract with Enlight Pictures expires, Enlight Media's market value will definitely plummet. But if Lu Bing is signed, what will happen later? Although Enlight Media's market value will continue to fall, it will never plummet.

I don't know if Wang Changtian hid it too well or if the person who contacted Lu Bing was not Wang Changtian, but Wan Qingshan didn't see anything unusual.

"Director Wan, you are still magnanimous. You can tolerate this. If you ask me, I will definitely replace him. There is no reason for him to replace me while the movie is being shot."

Wan Qingshan smiled, changed the subject, and asked about the promotion of "Painted Skin".

"Painted Skin" is scheduled to be released on June 6. It should have been promoted long ago, but due to natural disasters, the promotion was postponed. The promotion only started after the entertainment industry became active two days ago.

"Director Wan, the movie promotion is going on. It's shameful to say that Enlight Pictures has not been able to find novel ideas to promote like you and Producer Li. I wonder if you, Director Wan, can give me an idea?" trick?"

"Haha, Mr. Zhang, "Painted Skin" doesn't have to have a novel idea, it just needs to remind the audience that this movie is to rectify the reputation of mainland actors."

Wan Qingshan felt that "Painted Skin" had the same gimmick he created last year, and there was no need for any novel promotion.

But Wang Changtian thought that Wan Qingshan was hiding it, but he didn't ask any more questions. He smiled and changed the subject again, asking about the overseas copyright fees for "Painted Skin".

"Painted Skin" passed the Cannes Film Festival and sold most of its overseas rights, totaling $800 million.

The price is neither high nor low. Fan Bayi is recognized around the world through "Ip Man" and "The City of Golden Armor", and it is worth this price, but it is impossible to ask for a higher price.

In the investment in "Painted Skin", Enlight Pictures accounted for 15%, 800 million US dollars, which only amounted to 120 million US dollars. In normal times, Wang Changtian would not be in a hurry for this 120 million US dollars.But he is really short of money now, so he used words to keep Wan Qingshan in the past just because he wanted to share the money with Wan Qingshan.

Wan Qingshan had no objection to sharing the money and promised Wang Changtian to go to Qingshan Media tomorrow to share the money. Then, after the three of them chatted for a while, Wan Qingshan and Wang Changtian left.

The next day, the $800 million from "Painted Skin" was divided among Qingshan Media Company. Then, the money did not lie in Wan Qingshan's account for long before he transferred the money to the account of his and Feng Zhi's partnership company.

Then, after China Film transferred the overseas copyright rights of "Huo Qubing", it didn't stay on the Wanqingshan account for long.

Wan Qingshan called Chen Yumo and asked Chen Yumo to transfer a few million to him. After making up [-] million, he transferred it to Li Jingqing.

He borrowed [-] million from Jingqing, and Wanqing agreed to pay it back within a year. At that time, he had not yet thought about taking out a loan to acquire land, thinking that earning [-] million within a year would not be a big problem.

But later, the land was obtained with a loan, and Chen Yanfeng obtained the land very quickly. Within three months, he exchanged all his 100 billion into land, and all the billion in Wanqingshan became land.

With the land, the establishment of a real estate company is even simpler. Chen's company is engaged in the building materials business and is closely related to the real estate industry. Although they are easy to switch to real estate, they also know the ins and outs of the real estate industry.

After a group of people were transferred from Chen's company to form a real estate company, Chen Yumo began to develop shopping malls and office buildings with great success, and also built Qingshan Cinema together.

Several first-tier cities have started construction together, and now, more than a dozen Qingshan cinemas are almost completed.

Wanqingshan has long been out of money, so Chen Yumo paid for the construction of more than a dozen theaters.

All his previous money was spent on the development of Qingshan Cinema. The money he earned from "The Richest Man in Xihong City" was lost after investing in "Charlotte Troubles" and Qingshan Film and Television and paid last year's taxes. Now his bank card There are only a few hundred thousand in it, and now Chen Yumo is funding the development of Qingshan Cinema Line.

In the past, it would have been difficult for Wan Qingshan to let Chen Yumo invest. After all, Chen Yumo got all the money from Chen Yanfeng.

But after being married for more than a year, and some of his billions of land was used by Chen Yumo to build office buildings, it was difficult to distinguish between the two people's money, so Wan Qingshan let Chen Yumo fund it.

After Wan Qingshan transferred the money, he called Li Jingqing.

"Mr. Li, I have transferred [-] million to your account. I'm sorry. I agreed to pay it back in one year, but it took so long."

"Director Wan, it's okay, it's okay. If you have difficulty with cash flow, I'll lend it to you no matter what."

"Mr. Li, thank you for your generosity, but no, I have the funds here."

Then, the two hung up the phone without saying a word, and then Wan Qingshan flew back to Shenzhen.

After landing, he called Li Yancheng and Zhang Zhao, and contacted him on Penguin if he had anything to do. Anyone who asked about him said that he had traveled abroad, and then Wan Qingshan turned off his phone.

He was not interested in participating in the three-place film and television exchange conference, but it was impossible to actually travel abroad, so he planned not to contact the outside world during this period so that the General Administration and Han Sanping could not find him.

When Wan Qingshan went into hiding, the promotion of "Painted Skin" began to have some effect.

Enlight Pictures and China Film used the current normal publicity methods in the industry, focusing on offline promotion, supplemented by online hype and lottery, and at the same time adding news hype to publicize that the overseas copyright of "Painted Skin" was sold for 8000 million.

The overseas copyright of 8000 million, coupled with the online hype, reminds the audience that this movie is to rectify the reputation of mainland actors.

In addition, Zhang Zhao contacted Li Yancheng and secretly promoted the movie on the Internet. "This movie is a success. Mainland male stars will also have the opportunity to be the protagonist of blockbusters in the future." '

Now the fan economy has taken off, and stars like Huang Xiaoming have also become popular through TV series. Therefore, these fans have also supported "Painted Skin" in order for their idols to be the protagonists of big-investment movies.

On the day of the premiere of "Painted Skin", after hiding in Wanqingshan, he flew back to the capital to attend the premiere.

At this movie premiere, Chen Yumo happened to be taking a break, so I came with him.

As soon as Wan Qingshan and Chen Yumo arrived in the backstage lounge, they were pulled aside by Zhang Zhao to talk about something.

"Director Wan, I bought the film and television adaptation rights of "The Sound of the Wind" from the Mai family before. Huayi also took a fancy to the film and television rights of "The Sound of the Wind", but they didn't steal it from me.

Some time ago, Huayi Wang Zhongjun made an appointment with me and said that he wanted to cooperate and adapt "The Wind" into a movie.

Director Wan, do you think I should agree to this? "

In the past, Zhang Zhao would not have asked Wan Qingshan about this kind of thing, but the year before last, he went behind Wan Qingshan's back to discuss cooperation with Chen Kexin, which led to what Wan Qingshan said was very serious.

The relationship between Huayi and Wan Qingshan is not good, so even if Zhang Zhao thinks it is worth cooperating this time, he does not dare to agree immediately and can only ask Wan Qingshan for his opinion first.

After thinking for a while, Wan Qingshan nodded and said, "We can cooperate or let Huayi take the lead, but there is one thing, and that is that if we use Huayi actors, the salary must be kept to the minimum."

Although "The Wind" had a box office of more than 2000 million in its original life, the investment was claimed to be 8000 million. It is impossible to sell overseas copyrights for a movie like "The Wind".

It claims to have an investment of 8000 million. Even if it is not 8000 million, then according to industry practice, the investment would be around 6000 million, which is not very profitable.

6000 million investment, but there are no big scenes in "The Wind" at all. Most of the scenes were shot in a building. Most of the investment is the actors' remuneration, and these actors are all from Huayi. Wan Qingshan doesn't want to After a movie, I didn't make much money, but it made Huayi's actors both profitable and famous.

Zhang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and smiled quickly, "I understand this, and I will keep Huayi artists' salaries down."

When Zhang Zhao asked before, Wan Qingshan guessed what Zhang Zhao was worried about. Seeing Zhang Zhao's relieved look, Wan Qingshan laughed in a low voice,

"Mr. Zhang, Huayi is Huayi, and Feng Xiaogang is Feng Xiaogang. As long as Qingshan Media does not cooperate with Feng Xiaogang, I have no objection."

"I understand, Director Wan, I know what to do."

Zhang Zhao’s face was full of smiles. The first part of "Red Cliff" had a huge box office hit, which made Chengtian suffer a lot. In addition, Wu Kebo adjusted Chengtian’s development route and went to the theater chain. For more than a year, there was no success. Investing in movies, Chengtian’s influence in the film and television industry has dropped significantly.

Now that Huayi has become the leader in private film and television, he had wanted to cooperate with Huayi before, but because of the relationship between Wanqingshan and Huayi, he had never taken the initiative to contact Huayi.

Now that Wan Qingshan has said this, he can take the initiative to contact Huayi, and a lot of cooperation can be carried out.

After talking about this, Zhang Zhao went to greet Wu Ershan, the artist who came to attend the premiere of "Painted Skin".

Not to mention that China Film Group came forward to invite many people, but since "Painted Skin" is a film that rectifies the reputation of mainland actors, mainland artists have to compete to participate.

Although people in the industry understand that clearing the name of a mainland actor is just hype, the fact that you didn't appear at the premiere of "Painted Skin" is a big deal. If someone catches you and attacks you, it will have a great impact on your reputation.

Because of this title, Wang Zhongjun personally brought all the artists from Huayi.

After Wang Zhongjun came in, he greeted Wan Qingshan and started chatting with Wang Changtian.

Although there are many people in the lounge, Wanqingshan is very quiet.

Because Chen Yumo was beside him, few people came forward to get close to him. Those who came forward, like Wang Zhongjun, said hello politely and left.

It wasn't until Han Sanping arrived that Wanqing Mountain wasn't so peaceful.

"Qingshan, tomorrow the General Administration will hold a meeting of private theaters and private film production companies at China Film Academy. You must come to attend."

Han Sanping's first words when he came over made Wan Qingshan frown.

Ever since Wanqingshan signed a competition agreement with theater chains such as Wanda and Dadi in Shanghai, theater chains have begun to aggressively enter the film production industry.

Some have poached people from large companies such as Huayi and Chengtian to establish film production companies, while others have acquired small film and television companies. Some of these have gone well, but some have not.

After Dadi Cinema failed to acquire a film and television company, it made a domineering statement to the industry. If this company's future movies were to be released at Dadi Cinema, they would be cut off.

In addition, some Jia Hui relied on Xingmei Cinemas to invest heavily in movies. In the past six months, he almost always had a hand in movies that had some slight box office prospects.

As a result, many film production companies are complaining that Wanqingshan has made a bad start and that the theater chain is too strong.

Even Wan Qingshan, who has been hiding out during this period, is aware of these situations.

Now that the General Administration is holding a meeting between theaters and film production, it will definitely adjust the two sides, and may even formulate some rules.

In this kind of meeting, the two parties would definitely be noisy. Wan Qingshan did not want to participate, but when Wan Qingshan was about to say that he was going to renew his contract with Earl Company the day after tomorrow, Han Sanping seemed to know that Wan Qingshan would find excuses not to go, so he spoke first. .

"You must go to this meeting. In the final analysis, this incident happened because of you. If you don't go, it will be difficult for the General Administration to say a lot of things."

"Okay, I'll go." Wan Qingshan replied helplessly.

Then, Han Sanping didn't chat much with Wan Qingshan. After saying a few words, he went to find Wang Zhongjun and the others.

After a while, the premiere of "Painted Skin" began.

Because the leading actors in "Painted Skin" are all famous, and so many celebrities came to participate.

Therefore, Wan Qingshan did not walk on the red carpet. He, Chen Yumo, Han Sanping and others entered the theater directly from the back.

It's 2008 now. In one or two years, fans will become crazy about chasing stars. If fans are crazy, they will force the media to become even crazier.

Wan Qingshan didn't want to be secretly photographed by reporters when he went out to eat in the future, and he didn't want to meet those crazy fans squatting outside his home.

Therefore, he plans to reduce his appearances in front of the public and reporters from a few years on, and even try not to act in the future and only be a director. In this way, his life will be much more comfortable in the future.

At the premiere of "Painted Skin", Wan Qingshan simply acted as an audience member and sat in the audience until the premiere was over.

Then, when "Painted Skin" premiered and the crew was going on a road show, Wan Qingshan came to China Film for a meeting.

　No matter how I change the next chapter, it will be banned. The content is probably that theaters are poaching people and people from the Hong Kong film and television industry are complaining. At the meeting, Wan Qingshan pointed out that the Hong Kong film and television industry wanted to take advantage of the mainland film and television industry, and then the higher-ups changed their attitude. Support the mainland film and television industry. "Painted Skin" is a hit
