China Entertainment: Starting from 07 Kuainan

Chapter 254 Criticism
Sharpening knives does not miss woodcutters.

Lu Yuan and others have been training for a period of time, and the changes are visible to the naked eye, especially in the changes in energy and spirit.

This is most obvious with Hu Ge.

Previously, the TV series that Hu Ge starred in were basically bookish and biochemical roles, lacking a bit of toughness.

Although Jin Yichuan is a sick man in the plot setting, his force value is not low even if he is not sick.

Zeng Li was not idle during Lu Yuan's training.

In addition to being an actress, she is also a director of the Stars Foundation. Recently, her main focus has been on the foundation.

In the past year, the schools invested and built by Fanxing Foundation in the disaster-stricken areas have been completed one after another.

This time I went to Yizhou, firstly, to inspect the quality of the project and check whether any corners were cut, and secondly, to check the issue of the scholarship fund.

Although Fanxing Fund has not disclosed its itinerary, news of Zeng Li's appearance in many places has spread to the Internet.

When they saw the charity foundation named [Fanxing], even those netizens who had no prior knowledge could probably guess the person behind the foundation.

It must be a company owned by Lu Yuan.

If you look at the naming rules of companies such as [Xingchen], [Starlight], and [Morning Star], you can guess that they all contain the word "star".

Zeng Li's charity activities in the name of "Stars" also aroused discussions among netizens.

What kind of charity foundation is Fanxing, and what charity activities has it done?
As a result, when I searched the Internet, there were very few news reports about Fanxing. The only one with more information was the [Student Aid Activities].

Seeing how little public information there was, those little black men instantly went into a frenzy.

Fake charity, hypocrisy, etc. were all blamed on Fanxing or Lu Yuan.

However, after seeing these remarks, neither Fanxing Foundation nor Lu Yuan had any intention of publicly responding.

Fanxing is a private equity fund, and the only investors are Lu Yuan and several companies under his name.

There is no need to disclose financial reports to the outside world.

The main reason why they don't make it public is because they are afraid of causing ridicule. After all, Fanxing's family has invested more in charity than the total amount of the Stars Gathering Charity Harper's Bazaar.

Up to now, Charity Bazaar has been held for six consecutive years. The total amount of donations raised in the previous five sessions was generally less than 1000 million. Last year, the largest amount of donations was raised, more than 1000 and [-] million yuan.

The Stars Fund, which has been established for more than a year, has invested more than 5000 million yuan in total, which is more than the total amount of charity raised by Bazaar Charity for the past six years.

As the circle of influence breaks out, more and more stars are participating in charity Harper's Bazaar, including big names like Cheng Long and Jet Li.

Therefore, Fanxing’s capital flow is not disclosed to avoid embarrassment to others.

too many people.

Bad influence.

……

……

6 month 21 number.

After the closed training ended, the crew gave the protagonists two days off. After all, Lu Yuan was not a devil. The closed training had been so long, so he had to take a break.

However, Lu Yuan himself is a hard worker.

No rest.

On the day he finished training, he went to Happy Mahua and signed an investment contract with the three founders.

600 million in exchange for 30% of the equity. Both parties are happy with this result.

This time the investment is still the same as before, capital injection will be made in the name of [Morning Star Fund] to avoid equity splits in the future.

Lu Yuan has gained a potential stock, and Happy Mahua can share the resources of Star Media.

Although Star Media has only been established for a short time, its influence in the industry is not small.In China, why do movie actors have higher status than TV actors?

That's because investing in movies is riskier.

The higher the risk, the fewer professional companies are willing to invest in movies. Companies such as Huayi and Bona do not have all their own funds when making movies.

In some projects with higher risks, the proportion of raised funds is higher.

The reason for this is mainly because the distribution channels of movies and TV series are different.

For an excellent TV series, the cost can be repaid by the first round of broadcast rights, and the main body of purchasing TV series is the TV station.

The producers need to serve only a few, or perhaps dozens, of customers.

On the other hand, when it comes to movies, it is millions of consumers who ultimately pay the bill.

As the saying goes, it’s hard to agree with everyone. Everyone’s tastes are different, movie-watching preferences in each region are different, and the trends in each period are also different.

If something went wrong, the movie would end up at a loss, and the funds would be slowly recovered.

The key is that the cost of filming a movie is higher than that of a TV series.

Although digital camera technology is very mature and most TV series are shot with digital cameras, film is still the mainstream in today's film industry.

Especially for those high-investment movies, if you want to pursue quality and movie-watching experience, you must have a film camera.

After a movie is shot, a small-cost TV series can be made for the cost of the film alone.

In addition, the investment in Fu Huadao is not low, because the movie screen is wider and larger than the TV, and the crude props are projected onto the big screen, which greatly affects the movie-watching experience.

Taking "Xiu Chun Dao" as an example, 800 million was invested in the cost of serving Hua Dao alone. Leaving aside Lu Yuan, the total remuneration of the other leading actors was less than 800 million.

The main actors in "Xiuchundao" were paid very little.

Among them, Wang Qianyuan received the highest salary, 100 million, followed by Chen Kun, 80, Hu Ge again, 40, and Liu Shishi, 20.

Although Chen Kun appears in fewer scenes, he has a background in high-grossing movies. Even though he has fewer roles, his salary is higher than that of Hu Ge and Liu Shishi.

If Chen Kun is one of the leading actors, the minimum salary will start at 200 million.

The combined salary of several other supporting actors, such as Li Jianyi, Zhang Zhijian, Zhou Yiwei and others, is less than 100 million.

However, if the starring and supporting roles are replaced by actors from Xiangjiang or Wanwan, the salary expenditure will have to be increased at least two or three times.

The salaries of actors in Xiangjiang are notoriously high. Even second- and third-tier actors like Huang Moumou and Du Moumou dare to claim 300 million or 500 million yuan in salary.

As for Lu Yuan, his salary is the highest among the crew.

1000 million.

This is still a friendly price.

When filming "Source Code", his salary was US$400 million.

Due to the high remuneration of Fu Huadao and Lu Yuan, the investment cost of "Xiu Chun Dao" also skyrocketed to 5000 million, while the original investment of "Xiu Chun Dao" was only 3000 million.

That would still be 14, after actors’ salaries took off.

of course.

No matter how high the investment is, Xingchen Media is not short of funds. Not only is it not short of money, others are rushing to give him money.

There are a total of five investors in "Xiu Chun Knife" this time.

Star Media invested 3400 million, accounting for 68%. Wangda, China Film, Enlight, and Huayi each invested 400 million, each accounting for 8%.

The film's distributor is still China Film Group Corporation, but this time there is one more distributor. Star Media is also the film's distributor.
Although there is one more issuer, the issuance share is still the same. The two companies share the issuance fee according to their respective contribution proportions.
