Chapter 246 What are your plans in the future 【Subscription】

During the one-week vacation, Wang Lexin was reading the script of "Resident Evil" and the shooting plan that Hao Huan had drawn up.

She found that Hao Huan was really awesome!

Such a story, such a script can be written!
It's hilarious just looking at it!

If the plot described in the script could really be filmed, what a shocking scene it would be!

She was looking forward to this movie, but she also had some doubts. If this movie had zombies as the theme, if the zombies were to be as disgusting and terrifying as some Hollywood zombie movies, would this directly limit the box office?

Will it not be screened directly in China?
Although this movie is aimed at the North American market, with Hao Huan's popularity and reputation of the movie, the domestic market is the most profitable place!

For Hao Huan and the film, the loss of the domestic market is a particularly painful thing.

Among Hao Huan's many films, which one has the highest proportion of domestic box office?

With so many foreign countries, it is difficult for the combined box office to be as high as that in China!
That's domestic box office potential!

This is Hao Huan's domestic box office appeal!

Without this appeal, Hao Huan would lose hundreds of millions in vain.

So during her vacation, when she was cooking for Hao Huan at night, she couldn't help but ask, "Boss, are the zombies in "Resident Evil" the same as those in some Hollywood movies?"

Hao Huan replied: "Almost! But there are also innovations."

This is enough to prove that this is really a horror and horror doomsday movie.

Wang Lexin asked: "Then it won't be screened in China, right?"

Hao Huan said: "It is reasonable to say that movies of this level are not arranged to be screened in China, but I think there is still a chance to fight for it! Of course, it doesn't matter even if it can't be screened in the end. Anyway, the "Resident Evil" series of movies will be released soon." Become a world-renowned big IP!"

Wang Lexin asked curiously: "But without the support of domestic box office, even if the foreign box office is good, it will be difficult to exceed 100 billion box office."

Hao Huan said indifferently: "It's just difficult, not impossible. And I think with my current influence, even if the next "Resident Evil" can't change the history of domestic movies, it can certainly be changed in the future!"

Wang Lexin asked: "What changed?"

Hao Huan said: "Aren't you stupid? Of course we have to change the review standards! With the current review standards, most of "Resident Evil" cannot be released. If I can change this review standard, then I will save this domestic film category in the future." A hero!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin thinks this is too difficult, okay?
This review standard has lasted for more than ten years. If it was revised just because of Hao Huan, wouldn't it be too childish?
But Hao Huan’s influence is indeed very strong now!
In the past three years, the profits of the National Film Association and other film organizations have been almost entirely due to Hao Huan, and they have developed so well!

Without Hao Huan, it is definitely a big loss for domestic films!
Thinking about it this way, perhaps Hao Huan might really be able to change the domestic film review standards!

Wang Lexin was cooking, and said again: "Boss, wouldn't the production cost this time cost a lot of money?"

Hao Huan said: "That's not true! The post-production is all done by our company, and we already have the capital to show off the level of special effects, so we can already save a lot of money on expensive special effects.

The real money is spent on the creation of scene props, actors and behind-the-scenes teams.

In this regard, it will cost about 3 billion yuan.

In fact, this is already considered very high. If it is not refined, the production cost of 1 million yuan is enough, but since it is going to be filmed, the scene layout and props must be refined! "

Every movie of Hao Huan is actually the most expensive in these places!
Unlike other movies, the money is spent on star salaries and some money-losing places.

Even if there is a so-called salary limit order, it still cannot restrict big stars, only some small stars.Because many big stars make a low price on the surface and negotiate a high salary behind their backs.

In this way, such high taxes can be avoided.

Of course, this kind of thing doesn't happen in Hao Huan's crew. The remuneration he gets from celebrities is much lower than the market price.

For example, Liu Yuxi, with her current popularity, if she picks up any movie, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars!

However, for this "Resident Evil", Hao Huan only paid her 1500 million yuan, but did she say anything?
Didn't he sign the contract obediently and hug Hao Huan's thigh obediently!
This is where Hao Huan is awesome!

Even if he doesn't pay Liu Yuxi, Liu Yuxi will actually be happy to make his movie, mainly because his movie can bring Liu Yuxi a lot of honors.

It can give Liu Yuxi a chance to become famous internationally!
Now, although Hao Huan does not participate in any film festivals or film and television awards events, after the last incident at the Golden Bull Awards, Hao Huan has won awards at domestic film festivals and award ceremonies in the past two years.

Even though Hao Huan didn't go to receive it, the organizer still presented it with great interest.

And because Liu Yuxi went to participate, some of Hao Huan's film and television works awards and even the Golden Bull Best Actor Award awarded to him this year were all received by Liu Yuxi for Hao Huan.

As for Liu Yuxi, she is now considered a queen.

Because she won the TV Drama Queen Award for the TV series "I Have a Date with a Zombie", which is the same level as the Best Actress!

It's just the best actress award, which is for movies.

And her Queen's Award is for TV series.

In addition, Hao Huan has also been brought a lot of honors by Liu Yuxi, but all the roles of Hao Huan in film and television dramas that she has participated in have basically been filled with trophies!

It looked as if the organizers were trying to curry favor with Hao Huan after the incident at the Golden Bull Awards last time.

In fact, this is indeed the honor that Hao Huan's film and television dramas deserve!
In terms of performance, popularity, and influence!

Who can surpass these film and television dramas of Hao Huan in recent years?
Unless this award starts to be shady again, Hao Huan should get these awards that belong to him.

However, Hao Huan is not interested in this kind of film festivals and award ceremonies now, which has resulted in the lack of many honorary scenes recording Hao Huan in the history of domestic films.

When the best actor award was presented to him, he did not accept the award at the scene and left a historic moment!
When the best director award was presented, he did not accept the award at the scene!
These are all honorary scenes that will be recorded in the history of domestic films!

But to Hao Huan, none of this mattered anymore.

He doesn't need such hypocritical awards to prove himself, he only needs to prove himself with the achievements of his works and the love of the audience.

It doesn't matter whether there is an award or not.

After Wang Lexin finished cooking dinner, she asked curiously: "Boss, does this movie require a lot of extras to play zombies?"

Hao Huan ate the vegetables, and said while eating: "If you want to save money, a group of zombies can go up later, but do you think I will save money?"

"Won't……"

Wang Lexin replied, and then said: "But in this way, wouldn't the group performers have to find thousands of people to shoot this scene of the zombie siege?"

Hao Huan nodded, took a mouthful of rice, and said, "That's right! This is also the reason for the high production cost!"

Wang Lexin was curious again: "Then do all these group performers have to put on make-up? Or do they just put on P in the later stage?"

Hao Huan replied: "Makeup can be done well, and special effects can be used without special effects! So zombie group performances, all wearing zombie makeup! I have already arranged the makeup group, and Meijie and the others have started to recruit temporary cooperation. The makeup team is here!"

Now Wang Lexin understood, but the problem also came out: "Boss, if it takes many days to shoot the scene of group performance zombies, wouldn't it take a long time to put on makeup every time?"

"You don't understand this!"

Hao Huan said: "Do you understand artificial headgear makeup? If you don't understand, I'll bring one back another day so you can see it!"

"Imitation headgear makeup?"

Wang Lexin muttered, it was the first time she heard such a word, and she didn't know if Hao Huan coined it himself.

Seeing Wang Lexin's curious look, Hao Huan simply explained: "Let me tell you this! It's that kind of ultra-thin, leather-like zombie headgear! As long as you put it on, you can play a good zombie!
However, this kind of zombie headgear comes in batches and is just for makeup. At that time, a lot of makeup artists and stylists will be used to embellish it and make various zombies. "

"Oh, then I understand."

Wang Lexin said, suddenly shaking her head like goosebumps: "It's so disgusting to think about it! I'd better not talk about these topics during dinner!"

Hao Huan stared and said: "You know it's disgusting, so you still ask? Is it too long since you are stupid, and you want to be scolded again?"

"No……"

Wang Lexin sighed as she held the vegetables between her hands and pulled the rice sullenly, not letting herself think about this disgusting zombie scene, otherwise this good dinner would seem to have lost her appetite.

Hao Huan burped after dinner. Wang Lexin's cooking skills are getting better and better. If the system can give a score for cooking skills, Hao Huan thinks that Wang Lexin's cooking skills should be above 90 points!

After eating, Hao Huan watched Wang Lexin clean up the dishes, and said, "The global box office of "Animal World" will soon exceed 50 billion yuan. Are you very happy now?"

"It's okay..."

Wang Lexin was secretly happy. The popularity of this movie shows that her directing ability is great, so it's hard for her not to be happy.

Hao Huan said, "Stop pretending! You can hardly hide the smile on your stupid face!"

"How can there be..." Wang Lexin quibbled a bit.

Hao Huan stopped teasing her, and formally said: "I am only the investor in this movie, and I will give you 16% of the box office share according to the market ratio!"

Wang Lexin was shocked when he heard this!
Want to give me 16% of the box office share?
50 billion, that's 8 million yuan!

She quickly put down her bowls and chopsticks, waved her hands and said, "No, no need! My salary is so high, this is enough!"

Hao Huan shook his head and said, "You are afraid of money, right? The movie itself belongs to you, and giving you 16% of the share is considered to be depressing you. Under normal circumstances, you should take the majority, and I will take the small one." of."

Wang Lexin also shook her head and said, "No, I don't know what to do with so much money! And the Red Ear Movie Park you want to build is still short of so much money..."

Hao Huan smiled: "You mean I'm short of money now, so I can't bear to accept the money, right?"

Wang Lexin didn't speak, which meant that she acquiesced.

Hao Huan wondered: "Okay! Since you don't want it, I will remember the money for you first, and then it will be treated as you have also invested in the film and television paradise, and I will give you some shares for retirement!"

Wang Lexin was surprised: "Shares? Then am I a shareholder?"

Hao Huan corrected: "It's a minority shareholder!"

"Oh... Then the minority shareholders..."

Wang Lexin cleaned up the dishes again, which seemed pretty good after thinking about it, the little assistant became a minority shareholder!
She thought for a while and asked, "Is the shareholder equivalent to the boss?"

Hao Huan said with a chuckle: "You are only a small shareholder if you are struggling to death! No one will treat you as the boss!"

"All right……"

Wang Lexin's dream of becoming a boss seems to have died!

After washing the dishes, tidy up the kitchen and come out.

After Wang Lexin fed Hao Huan, he was about to go back with the kitchen waste.

Hao Huan reminded: "I'm going to check the layout of the set tomorrow morning, just call me at eight o'clock."

"Well, remember!"

After putting on the shoes, Wang Lexin put the changed slippers back on the shoe rack and said, "Then I'm going back, good night, boss!"

Hao Huan said: "Good night, ghost! It's not even seven o'clock yet! You think I go to bed just like you when I'm full!"

"..."

Wang Lexin finally changed her words: "Well, goodbye boss?"

"idiot!"

Hao Huan lay on the sofa and yawned, not to mention feeling a little sleepy for no reason.

He turned on the TV, and soon the second part of "My Date with a Zombie" would be broadcast. Half of the plot was already played, and the average ratings were still stable at above 4%.

Hao Huan simply said: "It's still early, come and watch TV with me!"

Wang Lexin suddenly became nervous: "This...isn't it interesting?"

"Do you still want to make progress!"

Hao Huan said seriously: "Go and peel an apple, and I'll give you a lesson later when you watch "I Have a Date with a Zombie"!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin took off the heels and socks she had worn, then changed back into her slippers and walked back, not worried about the lonely men and widows, but worried whether Hao Huan's father would suddenly come running over like last time.

Then even if she really jumped into the Yellow River, she wouldn't be able to wash herself away!

Opening the refrigerator, Wang Lexin took an apple and a plate of grapes out to wash, then peeled the apple, cut it in half, handed one half to Hao Huan, and ate the other half.

"What are your plans for the future?"

Hao Huan took a bite of the apple and suddenly asked.

Wang Lexin was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Just making a movie or something..."

She doesn't seem to be able to figure out what her plan is!

Hao Huan asked, "Aside from making movies?"

Wang Lexin said: "I don't know..."

Hao Huan sneered: "Don't you have any ideals? Do you want to be an assistant for the rest of your life and make movies for the rest of your life?"

Wang Lexin didn't know what to say.

She really has no plans!

Anyway, what she is looking forward to now is filming movies and working, and she doesn't think much about other things.

Hao Huan shook his head: "Forget it, talking about ideals with pigs is as boring as playing the piano with cows! Watch TV!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin responded humbly, then sat cross-legged on the sofa, eating an apple while staring at the TV, but "I Have a Date with a Zombie" will not start broadcasting until ten minutes later!

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward and tense...
