prodigal director

Chapter 53
In the 2.08 days from the filming to the completion of "Orphan's Grudge", "Chain Saw" has ended its release, and the final total box office is fixed at [-] million yuan.

Excluding the nearly 1.9 million yuan that Wang Ye booked at the box office, the actual total box office of "Saw" can only reach [-] million.

Since no film and television company participated in the production of this movie, Hao Huan, the producer, investor, and chief director, can be said to have made a lot of money.

Excluding 5% of the total box office revenue turned over to the National Film Development Special Fund Management Committee, and 3.3% as film tax.Of the 91.7% of the remaining box office revenue, theaters get 40%, distributors get 6%, and the remaining 45.7% of box office revenue basically belongs to Hao Huan.

Therefore, a "Chain Saw" with a total box office of 2 million yuan almost made Hao Huan [-] million yuan.

So, don't fight your father, don't rely on your mother.After filming "Chain Saw", he was already at the end of his rope. After squandering more than 3000 million yuan to unlock "Orphan's Grudge" and finishing this movie, he still has 5000 million yuan in his hands that can be embezzled.

This amount of money is enough for the post-production of "Orphan's Resentment", and if necessary, a extravagant film promotion can be carried out.

……

Red Ear Film and Television Company.

When filming "Orphan's Resentment", Wang Lexin contacted Li Lirong, the actress who was filming "Chain Saw", according to Hao Huan's instructions. In the end, Li Lirong chose to join the company and is currently serving as the director of the company.

In addition, among the people involved in the post-production of "Chain Saw", several outstanding employees were recruited by the better salary here.

Plus some employees who have passed the interview and are temporarily interns in the company.So besides Wang Lexin, Red Ear Film and Television Company recruited a total of 20 employees, which can be regarded as a well-regulated film and television company.

However, the company still lacks a special effects team, so Hao Huan is not in a hurry to recruit, and it is not easy to organize an excellent special effects team.

Domestic film and television special effects companies are limited, and there are only a handful of capable special effects companies. This is one of the reasons why good special effects are so expensive.

Fortunately, there are not many special effects shots that need to be added in the later stage of "Orphan's Grudge", and some special effects are not too difficult to produce, so Hao Huan only needs to find a special effects team with reasonable skills to come and cooperate.

Since the shooting time this time took a few days longer than expected, it is impossible for him to release a movie a month.

"Chain Saw" was released on August 8st, and now September 21st is almost here, so it is impossible for "Orphan Grudge" to be released in September, after all, no matter how efficient the post-production is Gao, that would take five or six days, and it would take another two or three days for the film to be submitted for review.

Cinema cooperation and other matters cannot be settled within a day or two.

So Hao Huan calculated the time, and the release time of "Orphan's Resentment" had to be scheduled for October.

In this way, the National Day Golden Week is a good release schedule.However, relatively speaking, during the National Day Golden Week, the competition for movie releases will be fiercer, even more intense than the summer vacation.

In the office, Hao Huan shouted: "Wang Lexin, check out which movies are expected to be released during the National Day Golden Week."

Now, there are less than two weeks left before the National Day on October 10st. If it is decided that "Orphan's Resentment" will be released during the National Day Golden Week, then he will have to arrange cooperation for the film's release in these two days matters.

After a while, Wang Lexin walked in with a laptop in her arms and reported: "There are 10 new movies released from October 1st to 5th, among which the most popular and the three movies that netizens are most looking forward to watching are "Heroes of Flame" , "Anti-Drug" and "Happy Tutorial".

These three films are the ones with the best reputation and the strongest star lineup.Of the remaining 13 films, two films also have a strong star lineup, but because the leading actors are the kind of traffic stars whose acting skills are not recognized by the audience, their reputation is not very good. "

Hao Huan moved the laptop that Wang Lexin had put down, and looked at the materials of the 16 movies she had sorted out.

"Sure enough, the competition during the National Day Golden Week is still quite fierce! The two military-themed movies are both made by great directors, and the cast is a group of first- and second-tier well-known actors. If nothing else, it is estimated that these two movies are October has the highest box office."

Hao Huan did not underestimate the other party, and the current movie market is like this.One is the reputation of the director, and the other is the starring lineup.Anyway, no matter whether the plot is good or not, as long as the star lineup is strong, then there is no need to worry about not making money at the box office.

Of course, whether it is "Heroes of Flame" or "Anti-Drug", the production costs of these two films will not be very low.

Instead, just this luxurious star cast.Just the remuneration of the actors will cost 5 billion yuan.

Because the remuneration of many top first-line actors will be frighteningly high. An actor's remuneration of hundreds of millions of yuan has become the norm in the film and television industry.

Speaking of this, Hao Huan had to think of "Age of Fright".There are also several star actors in his movie. Although they are not first- and second-tier stars, the salary of any star is close to [-] million yuan.

This is the era of traffic, the high salary created by the era of fans.

"If "Orphan's Resentment" is scheduled to be released during the National Day Golden Week, I am afraid it will become cannon fodder. After all, audiences like to watch a movie with feelings and pay for it with stars and idols. But I can't give them feelings, and I can't give them stars. idol, so basically they won't give priority to my movie."

After Hao Huan said this, Wang Lexin thought for a while and said, "Then when is "Orphan's Grudge" going to be released?"

Hao Huan thought for a while and said, "Let's arrange it during the National Day Golden Week too!"

"what?"

Wang Lexin was surprised: "Didn't you say that the National Day Golden Week release will be reduced to cannon fodder?"

Hao Huan said: "What if it is another movie that becomes cannon fodder? I still have confidence in my movie! Besides, in addition to "Orphan", there are nearly ten movies with very different strengths released at the same time, and they all If I’m not afraid of becoming cannon fodder, I have nothing to worry about!”

"Okay..." Wang Lexin didn't know what to say.

After Hao Huan learned about the new movie released during the National Day Golden Week, he ordered: "You can contact the theater now to discuss the release of "Orphan's Grudge". I will try to complete the post-production of the movie as soon as possible, and then submit it for review. "

"it is good."

Wang Lexin took back the laptop and went out to work.

Hao Huan continued to be busy with the post-production of the film. The company was full of clattering sounds of keyboards, and the employees were editing and producing "Orphan's Grudge" according to Hao Huan's requirements.

A week later.

The finished film of "Orphan's Resentment" has been completed, with a total duration of 124 minutes.

The day after the film was submitted for review.

Hao Huan received bad news...

　Thanks wodeguowang for the reward.
