Entertainment: Starting from child stars

Chapter 373: Want a share of the box office? impossible!!

Three days have passed, and Er Dongsheng has been studying the”Matrix” movie.

He has been in the capital these days, but he still needs to talk to Luo Shao.

At this time, Luo Shao, although the movie has started filming, his role has not yet been played. Director Xu Ke took them to the desert for filming.

《The scene before”Transformers” shows the Decepticons of the Decepticons stealing information in the desert military zone.

So for the previous scenes, director Xu Ke took Wu Jing and others to the desert area for filming.

It just so happens that Luo Shao still has time now and has no role to play.

Now that Director Er Dongsheng comes to see him, Luo Shao will of course talk to him about some of his ideas for this movie.

“Tell us your thoughts. Who do you plan to cast in this movie?”

Er Dongsheng went straight to the point and asked Luo Shao, the screenwriter and producer, to talk about who he wanted to star in this movie.

Luo Shao had actually thought about who to star in this series of movies?

Needless to say, female Trinity No. 1 must be starring Li Xinlai.

But who should we choose to play the male No. 1 role? Luo Shao is not suitable to play Neo in it at his own age.

He is still too young, so he is definitely not suitable.

But this The male lead in the movie must be over 25 years old, and his acting skills must be passable.

In fact, Luo Shao was thinking of Xie Tingfeng. This year’s Xie Tingfeng is already 33, so he must be suitable.

“Xie Tingfeng and Li Xin.”

Luo Shao was also very direct, saying who he thought was the leading male and female lead.

“You approached Xie Tingfeng because you thought that when the movie was finished, you could cooperate with his special effects company, right?”

“That’s right.”

This is Luo Shao’s idea. After all, Xie Tingfeng has a special effects company

“Li Xin, you guys really give priority to your confidante. As for Luo

Shao looking for Li Xin to play the female lead, Er Dongsheng can also think of the reason.

Luo Shao did not deny it and smiled:”Just tell me, based on her image, is it okay?””

After all, in the first half of the year, but having just collaborated on”Now You See Me”, Er Dongsheng must have an impression of Li Xin.

“It’s quite appropriate.”

Er Dongsheng didn’t dare to deny it. In fact, she still felt that Li Xin was a little green.

But since Luo Shao wanted to praise him, Er Dongsheng naturally didn’t say much about this kind of thing in the circle. It can be said that It’s commonplace, there’s nothing surprising about it

“As for the other characters, the anti-virus software agent in the villain, the villain, of course, you have to find a professional villain actor, you can decide this for yourself. Director Er

Dongsheng nodded silently and said,”I’m just curious, why don’t you act in it yourself?””

“I’m too young, inappropriate in image, not mature enough, and can’t play the male lead”

“You are real. Director Er smiled. Luo Shao was indeed a bit honest. This made Director Er Dongsheng very satisfied. It was comfortable to discuss cooperation with such a producer.

“Okay, give me two days, I will study more on the script. In these two months, I will form a good crew and choose a good shooting location.”

“In terms of investment, what is your budget?”

When asked about the investment budget, Luo Shao tried hard to recall.

He didn’t quite remember the specific investment cost, but he remembered that the first film in this series was released in 1999, and the filming was also done in 1998..

The prices at that time must be compared with those now.

But those were the prices and prices in Hollywood. Luo Shao didn’t remember it. Anyway, judging from the budget he made now when he was writing scripts, there was no 300 million RMB. If you can’t make this movie well,”the post-production special effects costs alone, based on what I know from Hsieh Ting-feng’s special effects company, will cost at least 250 million in special effects fees. The rest is the actors’ remuneration, the director’s remuneration and the crew.” overhead”

“It has to be done within 50 million, otherwise if it exceeds 300 million, the cost will be high.”

Director Er Dongsheng is also thinking seriously about this account mentioned by Luo Shao. Director

Er Dongsheng suggested:”I don’t need the salary, but I definitely want the box office dividends.”

In fact, what Luo Shao is most afraid of is giving dividends to the box office.

Just kidding, these movies of his are all high-grossing movies, how can he give dividends?

Directors of Zhongguo are getting dividends from the box office, especially directors like Xu Ke and Er Dongsheng Great directors.

Their box office dividends are all 5%. Do you know what a 5% box office dividend is?

Take the box office of”The Matrix” as an example of a box office of 460 million US dollars. A 5% dividend is 23 million US dollars.

23 million US dollars, but it’s only 148 million RMB.

Just kidding, how could he give dividends? It can’t be good, right?

“No, if you give dividends, I will have to bear risks if I invest so much”

“I can only pay for the film, but here, there is no box office dividend, and neither does Mr. Xu.”

Luo Shao is very straightforward. Anyway, he is not afraid that his script will not be accepted by the director.

“You kid is really a thief.”

Can Er Dongsheng not know his little thoughts?

“I’ll give you a director’s salary of 20 million.”

Luo Shao offered the salary, and Er Dongsheng also agreed:”Okay, anyway, it will definitely not be easy to get benefits from you.”

“And your script is so popular, I won’t accept it, but there are many others who do.”

“The salary of 20 million yuan, not counting dividends, is the director’s salary alone. This is a high salary in the field of domestic directors.”

At this age, Er Dongsheng actually doesn’t have that big a concept of money…

He must have made a lot of money as a director for so many years.

The last time he collaborated on”Now You See Me”, Luo Shao also offered him 1,000 Luo Shao also took out the contract and signed a contract with director Er Dongsheng. The contract clearly marked the price of three movies. The director’s salary for the first movie was 20 million, the second was 25 million, and the third was 25 million. The total is 30 million.

The one-time signing is for three movies, and each movie will increase the director’s salary by 5 million.

After counting the three movies, Director Er Dongsheng can also earn 75 million from Luo Shao.

“OK.”

Er Dongsheng, who signed the contract, was also very happy. After all, the salary given to him by Luo Shao increased with each film. This is also sincerity.

“Happy cooperation!”

Luo Shao stretched out his hand to shake hands with director Er Dongsheng.

When Er Dongsheng shook hands with Luo Shao, he also sighed:”I will sign a contract with you for three movies. At least I will have a job for the past two or three years and I will not be unemployed.”

“Haha~”

Luo Shao was exaggerated by director Er Dongsheng’s words.

“Can Director Er recommend director Chen Mucheng to me?”

“You boy. Director Er

Dongsheng smiled and pointed at Luo Shao:”Sure enough, you must still have good stuff in your hands.””

Luo Shao wants to invite director Chen Musheng to direct”The Hunger Games”.

Because this series of movies cannot wait for the two directors Xu Ke and Er Dongsheng. These two directors

, at least in the next three years, will have their own He is going to direct a series of movies, but he definitely doesn’t have time to direct other series of movies.
