I really don't want to be a superstar

Chapter 33, on the relationship between cost and box office

How much box office will this "When Happiness Comes Knocking" need to pay back?
700 million investment (if fully invested, but that is impossible).

Then at least 2000 million box office is needed to barely make a loss.

Li Yun's father is a director, and this aspect is still subtle.

The release of a movie is quite troublesome.

First, it has passed the review. Of course, Li Yun is not worried about the movie "Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door". As a literary film with a healthy theme, he has nothing to touch the sensitive points of the relevant departments.

And after the trial is the point.

You have to find theaters that are willing to distribute your film.

The box office of the show is not just divided, you have to pay value-added tax, special funds, agency fees, and some messy expenses first.

Then it will open [-]-[-] with the theater.

Basically, the money that the producers can get is about 30.00% of the total box office.

In many cases, the producers earn less money than the actors.

And what level is the figure of 2000 million box office?For general commercial films, as long as the production is not too bad, it will not be too difficult to reach this level.

After all, for commercial films, theaters can release them safely and boldly. If there is a fixed popcorn group to buy it, and the special effects are decent, the theaters will arrange it properly. For the theaters, it will not lose money to play commercial blockbusters.

Many people just want to have a good time watching movies, or spend time with their girlfriends, watch the dazzling special effects and fight scenes, and then they are done, and they don’t care whether the plot is grassy or not.

Of course, if most commercial blockbusters only have a box office of 2000 million, it will be quite a hit. After all, if a commercial film is to be shot well, it must have explosive scenes, and where do the explosive scenes come from? From the funding, their Production costs are geometric multiples of literary films
And art films.
Throughout the history of Chinese film and television, there is no literary film with a box office of more than 2000 million.

There are many award-winning films, but very few can make money.

Li Yun felt that this movie of mine would probably end like this when happiness comes knocking on the door. Why was the box office in the previous life so good?Don't ask, it means the world is different, and the national conditions are different. This movie has never been released in China before, and I don't know if it will be unacceptable. Although the Douban score in the previous life was quite high.

To sum up, Li Yun felt that selling the song to Liu Donghua was not as good as exchanging it for 50 yuan.

But without the 50, I still have some spare money here, so I should be able to buy a house.
Li Yun kept reassuring himself that there was no loss, no loss.
You may not make a profit, but you will definitely not lose money.

At this time, Li Zijing seemed to think of something and said.

"By the way, a man came to see you a few days ago."

"Who?"

"A man named Qiao Nuo."

"Jono"

I really don't have any good feelings for Qiao Nuo and Li Yun-it's not that Li Yun hates this person, on the contrary, when he was on the crew of "Hello, July", Qiao Nuo was the one who was more enthusiastic about Li Yun.

The reason why he didn't have such a good feeling was purely because when he thought of it, he remembered the scene when the hotel opened his eyes and saw Qiao Nuo with a smile on his face.

Although he knew he hadn't done anything, Li Yun could still faintly feel a phantom pain coming from the backyard.

"Why did he come to see me?" Li Yun's expression was as if he had eaten something.

"He said that he was resonated by your golden spirit and talent, and wanted to come to film with you."

I have a fart spirit and talent that resonates
"Sorry, I can't afford this guy, he should go somewhere more suitable for me."

Li Yun refused.

There is no telling whether there will be a next movie.

Even if there is a next movie, he will not use Qiao Nuo. Li Yun remembered it before. This Qiao Nuo was a very popular traffic niche in the past few years, because some things are not so popular now.

But even if it's not that popular, the traffic niche is something that a poor crew like me can afford?

His salary can pull up all those present here.

Just kidding.

"He said that he can get the same pay as the other crew members, as long as the script is suitable and the role is suitable." Li Zijing paused and said, "I think I can give it a try. It seems that he really wants to make a movie, and I have seen it. Acting is pretty good."

"Forehead"

He Qiao Nuo talked about this.

From the beginning to the end, it reveals a kind of posture that you don’t need money anyway, and use a little bit
Even Li Yun couldn't think of an excuse to refuse.

"alright."

Anyway, I don't know if there will be a next movie, so what if I draw a big cake?
Anyway, I don't need money, and I won't lose money.

"Ah."

It seems that the matter of Qiao Nuo is just a trivial matter, but in fact it is a trivial matter.

Li Yun returned to the set and continued to direct the remaining scenes of the performance, especially the leading actor's scenes.

A literary film is to take you to experience the story in the play. The sense of substitution is very important. If the leading actor can’t get into the play, how can everyone follow the leading actor to experience the leading actor’s life?
Fortunately, Liu Yang has a strong sense of involvement.

Although he can't act like Will Smith's sunny feeling of success, the unique "grassroots sense" on his body makes the actor's image more cordial, down-to-earth, and seems to have a more bizarre chemical reaction with the movie.

Li Yun felt that it was really right to find Liu Yang to play the leading role in this movie (the most important thing is that it is cheap.).

"Director Li, how is my performance?"

"It's not bad. If it continues in this state, it should be finished soon."

What Li Yun said was not a lie, when the time comes to review and send it off, once it is released in theaters, you will know whether it is a mule or a horse.
"And Lao Li, you don't need to call me Director Li, just call me Li Zi."

Li Yun is still not used to being 'flattered'.

It feels weird.

"Director Li, it's better to separate public affairs and private affairs. In private, I will call you Li Zi. When making movies, I will call you Director Li."

Liu Yang seems to be more stubborn in this respect
"alright."

Li Zijing also nodded, barking in private and in public.

There is no rule without rules.

Of course, this scene looks different to others.

In the eyes of others, Director Li is down-to-earth!

Let alone being a director, other people have to be dragged to the sky to be an assistant director.

I happened to see Li Yun, such a down-to-earth director, and everyone liked it.

Li Zijing looked at this scene with admiration in her heart.

A simple move captured the hearts of the subordinates and made them do things willingly.

It is the same company, being forced to 996 is different from willing 996
The latter really felt that he was enjoying blessings!
As expected of my childhood sweetheart
Only Li Yun was still staring blankly at his crew.

Why is morale so inexplicably high again?
　The person who voted for the recommendation is so handsome
