This actor needs more money

Over the course of a month, the blisters on Xin Zhilei's hands broke and grew, eventually forming light yellow calluses.

The originally delicate hands were extremely rough.

Lei Jiayin and Zhang Yi, who were practicing martial arts at the same time, felt heartbroken when they saw it.

Of course, the two of them were not much better. They also had blisters on their hands, but the man was stronger and not as miserable as Xin Zhilei.

Within this month, a big event happened in the entertainment industry. Xu Zheng's "Thailand" has a box office of 1.2 billion.

Breaking down the domestic box office, in recent decades, "Thailand" has been the highest, bar none.

Ten years ago, it was considered a big deal for a movie to have a box office of 200 million.

Starting five or six years ago, over 100 million was just a pass, and many directors could reach this standard.

In recent years, one or two movies have been released from time to time with a box office of 500 to 600 million yuan. The highest one is probably Jiang Wen's Let the Bullets Fly, which has a box office of less than 700 million yuan.

But Xu Zheng was silent, and his shot was 1.2 billion, which was 500 million higher than the second-placed Jiang Wen, which was really scary.

Many people in the circle were so envious that their eyes turned red.

Some veteran actors are already raising money. Who doesn't have a dream to be a director? Xu Zhengxing, they can do it too.

"Mr. Wang, I have a script here that I have been working on for twenty years. I wanted to film it when I was young. If you have time, take a look."

"Brother Zhang, to be honest, I was a director when I was young, and I became an actor by mistake. I have a comedy idea, which is no worse than Xu Zheng's. It has a box office of 800 million."

"Honey, where is the real estate certificate of our house? I want to take out a loan to make a movie. Is it a loss? That's impossible. Xu Zheng has already made money, which means I took action too late."

"Teacher Li, we have a role here that suits you very well... What, you want to be a director?"

Xu Zheng succeeded, but there are countless Xu Zhengs who failed. These people are ready to take action. Those who sell houses, those who take out loans, all want to make a big deal.

The smarter ones are afraid of the high risks and seek partnerships with investors, but investors are not stupid either. You are a director and you can’t make any money, so how can we dare to invest?

You don’t even have confidence in your work, can we have confidence?

Even if he attracted investors, he was forced to invest "a little money."

With today's market conditions, 30 to 50 million yuan can only be used to make an ordinary movie, and a few movies with a few celebrities will have a budget of 60 to 70 million yuan.

The "little money" invested by these directors is tens of millions, which is almost the savings of many years.

If you make money, you will be a young model in the club, but if you lose it, you will work in the sea.

Seeing such chaos, some older directors in the circle almost gave up. The circle of directors is not big, and there is not enough cake for them to share. With so many people coming in all at once, how can they make money.

"It's true that any cat or dog can become a director."

"It's not easy to do your job well, so don't go into other professions blindly."

"Every line is like a mountain. Today's entertainment industry is a bit impatient."

"Seeing him building a tall building, watching him entertaining guests, watching his building collapse."

These shady directors almost didn't even mention them by name.

If good actors act inappropriately and come here to grab their jobs, isn't this causing trouble for them?

In the past, although there were hundreds of domestic films a year, only so many could reach the audience. Even if they were not good-looking, the audience would still recognize them by pinching their noses.

There are more people in this industry now. If a few more people like Xu Zheng appear, they will not be able to survive.

…

Just when the entertainment industry was booming, pirated copies of Ding Xiu's New World began to spread in China.

This movie has been released in South Korea, and due to the operation of pirates, it has also been sold on a large scale in China.

A CD costs five dollars.

Not long after the CD came out, resources became available on the Internet.

The long-awaited audience finally saw this limited film that won the Best Actor at the Busan International Film Festival.

Just when everyone thought it was a film similar to Apple's, viewers who had already watched it spoke online.

"I think this is the best gangster-themed movie after Infernal Affairs."

"Fuck, how dare the director film it? It makes up for the regret I had watching Infernal Affairs back then."

"Great criticism, Chen Yongren rebelled, killed his boss, killed his eldest brother and became the boss."

"No wonder the movie is not allowed to be released in China, so I kill my boss and the protagonist is still alive and well and becomes a winner in life. Even if I beat him to death, I can't pass the review, but I have to say that it was really fun to watch."

"It looks good, and I really dare to make it. This type of movie will never be made here in our lifetime. It is worthy of Korea."

"It's not that we can't shoot the ones upstairs. We have a lot of good movies here, and there are directors who dare to make them. It's just that they can't be released. There are too many restrictions."

"A certain Optoelectronics leader: When did we say there were restrictions? When did we stop filming? Who is to blame for not being able to take pictures? I think some people just want to film stories about brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law."

"Upstairs, open the door and check the water meter."

"Good news, the second part of Xiuchundao is about to start filming, starring Ding Xiu again."

"Is it true or not, the second part of Xiuchundao is about to start filming?"

"Fuck, I'll go ask on Ding Xiu's Weibo."

Taking advantage of the new world, Ding Xiu no longer hid it, and announced on Weibo that day that Xiu Chun Dao II was about to be released.

By the way, I included a few makeup photos.

He is in the C position, next to him are Xin Zhilei and Yang Mi, who are wearing two kinds of ancient costumes, one white and one green. Behind them are Lei Jiayin and Zhang Yi.

Except for Yang Mi, who was holding an oil-paper umbrella, the others were holding weapons.

"Are there no Lu Jianxing and Jin Yichuan in the second part?"

"Wang Qianyuan won't act anymore?"

"Who are these two buddies next to me? I don't know them."

"Shen Lian is made of iron, and his brother is made of flowing water."

"On this poster, I only recognize Ding Xiu and Yang Mi. The rest are all newbies. Can we lead them? We should get Wang Qianyuan back."

There is no Song Yang and Wang Qianyuan in the second part. There is no way around it.

Song Yang took on another male lead role, um, Xu Haofeng's drama, called Archer Liu Baiyuan.

Because when the second part of "Xiu Chun Dao" hits the schedule, the crew here can't wait for him, so this time "Xiu Chun Dao" will be without him.

The reason why Wang Qianyuan was not there was that his price had gone up and the offer was too expensive and exceeded the crew's budget, so he didn't ask for it.

"Hey, isn't this squad leader Shi Jin, the one who played the role of a soldier in assault back then?"

"His name is Zhang Yi, and he also played the role of the leader of my regiment."

"The scene when Shi Jin retired made me cry. I didn't expect to see Zhang Yi's scene again. After so many years, he must have finally gotten through it."

"I have been paying attention to this actor for a long time. Soldier Assault Wang Baoqiang is popular, but he is not popular. My regiment leader Zhang Guoqiang is popular, but he is not popular. This time it is my brother Yi's turn. Thanks to Ding Xiu for his smart eyes."

In Peiping, Ding Xiu and a group of leading actors held a press conference for the launch of Xiuchundao.

After answering questions from media reporters, he set up two tables for people to eat.

Knowing that he was leaving soon, and they had been apart for several months, Wang Baoqiang, Wu Jing and Huang Bo heard the news and came.

When the old brothers met, Wu Jing punched Huang Bo in the chest after hugging him.

"Old Huang, you made a lot of money this time, tell me, how much did you share?"

"囧囧" has been released, with a box office of 1.2 billion. I don't know how much Huang Bo will get for his original 3 million share investment, but it must be a lot.

It would be a lie to say that I am not envious.

Huang Bo raised the corners of his mouth, raised five fingers, and said with a smile: "No more, no more."

"hiss!"

Wang Baoqiang and Wu Jing took a deep breath.

Investing 3 million and getting 50 million, more than ten times the return, isn’t this high?

Wu Jing has been in the industry for so many years, and he doesn't even have 50 million in savings.

Now Huang Bo earns 50 million with one vote.

Turning his head, Wu Jing looked at Wang Baoqiang: "How much did you share?"

Wang Baoqiang rolled his eyes: "I didn't invest in dividing the yarn."

His remuneration was two million, but it was given directly to Hua Yi without any handling.

Wu Jing was surprised: "I know you didn't invest, but didn't Xu Zheng give you a red envelope?"

Wang Baoqiang only received a salary of 2 million, which was pitifully low and could be regarded as a friendly appearance.

After helping Xu Zheng so much, and now the box office is blowing up, Xu Zheng earns hundreds of millions, so why should he give a red envelope of two to three million yuan? It's funny.

"No."

Wang Baoqiang shook his head.

Wu Jing didn't ask any more questions. Baldy Xu was unreasonable.

Things are not open at all.
