Because this film requires too much money, if he wants to shoot the effect he wants, 1 billion Chinese currency may not be able to beat.
Among them, scene construction will undoubtedly occupy a large part of the cost.
Of course, these are not problems.
After the news that Wang Yifan wanted to make a blockbuster and make a large-scale production, it was still a co-production with the island country.
A lot of domestic celebrities, including the top celebrities, have begun to inquire about the news.
After all, Wang Yifan's movies have almost become a guarantee of selling.
Wang Yifan’s products must be exquisite. This can be said to be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
When the director reaches the point of Wang Yifan, in fact, the star who participated in the role becomes less important, because many fans even go directly to Wang Yifan's name.
As for Wang Yifan's movies, the choice of actors usually does not look at the actor's reputation. Although he often uses familiar people or people he has collaborated with, he often uses some newcomers.
Moreover, the movie Wang Yifan made this time is a big production, and it is no longer a kind of rare role, so naturally, it has become a cake that countless people want to bite into.
Of course, most of these people don't bother Wang Yifan, but there are still some people who get in touch with people around Wang Yifan through this or that kind of relationship, inquire about news, or ask for a role for help.
Of course, those who can talk directly with Wang Yifan are naturally people who are close to Wang Yifan.
Such as Zhang Zirong, such as Chen Xuebing, such as Chen Shaojun, Yan Lingxuan, Li Mingjuan.
No, Chen Shaojun came to the door with a depressed look.
"Fuck, do you know, how many calls have I picked up in the past few days?" Chen Shaojun saw Wang Yifan's leisurely look, and he was a little angry.
Many people know Wang Yifan’s nature. He particularly dislikes other people’s involvement in his movies. Therefore, unless it is a good relationship, such as Li Junsheng and Yan Lingxuan, who have collaborated many times, most people will not directly look for it. Wang Yifan wants a role.
Because it's useless if you want it
So the roundabout strategy became their best strategy.
Zhang Zirong has rarely appeared in public, and most of Zhang Zirong's friends in the past are people in the music world. She is also a relatively high and cold type, and there are not many friends that can be counted.
Otherwise, it is undoubtedly the best way to talk to Zhang Zirong.
But obviously this was not possible, so people like Chen Shaojun became the second candidates.
"How many phone calls do you answer, what does it have to do with me?" Of course Wang Yifan knew what Chen Shaojun was referring to, but Wang Yifan just pretended not to know.
"It's special, those people who co-authors think you can't speak well, I'm easy to speak." Chen Shaojun said indignantly.
"Isn't it? If not, would you run to me?" Wang Yifan said contemptuously.
"Hey, what? Some people are really hard to refuse. They owe favors before, so they don't pay it back. But what is the situation with your new movie? I have a bit of a bottom?" Chen Shaojun asked curiously.
Wang Yifan pointed to the script on the table and said: "Here, you can read it yourself. Some unimportant roles, it doesn't matter if you use it as a favor, but don't find me an unreliable guy."
Although there are not many main characters in Monkey King, Monkey King, his first love, then true love, the judge of the prefecture, the of Erlang, the dragon king of Dragon Palace, etc., there are many other characters that show faces or have lines.
For example, the monkeys in the water curtain cave of Huaguoshan, such as the heavenly soldiers, the shrimp soldiers and crabs, the ghost soldiers of the underworld, the cow head horse noodles and so on.
Interestingly, there will be a lot of "faceless" characters in Monkey King, such as monkeys and grandchildren, some shrimp soldiers and crabs, cow head horse noodles and so on.
But in Wang Yifan's movie, even this kind of passerby character is not something ordinary people can get.
There is no way, even if it is a passerby role, but as long as it is played, it is a qualification, especially for some new actors, this is definitely a very good qualification.
Participated in Wang Yifan's movie.
And because "The Monkey King" is a co-production film, there will definitely be island actors in the main role.
However, Wang Yifan has absolute right to speak in this regard.
Toei's requirements are not high, the two main roles, of course, the role of Monkey King himself, even if it is Oshima Tsukamoto, he can't expect it. Even Wang Yifan cannot agree to this.
In the end, Toei requested two roles, one of which was the heroine, and Wang Yifan agreed.
The other one is to choose one from the other minor matches.
For the remaining roles, those of Xiaolu Renjia, Toei also has requirements. After all, they also invested a lot of money. Naturally, Wang Yifan would not be too harsh.
In contrast, other domestic giants have also come to inquire about the news.
Unfortunately, what Wang Yifan is going to shoot this time is a real big production, and the investment will exceed one billion Chinese dollars or even more.
Therefore, many film and television giants also want to get a share of it. Without him, the previous "Edge of Tomorrow" gave them a taste of the sweetness.
Although they are not the main investors, even if they occupy a small proportion of the investment, they are still full of profits.
And this time, for such a large-scale investment, is it normal for them to invest a little premium?
For such a large-scale production, they will definitely need their support when the time comes, right?
In fact, it is not difficult for many people to find that the real large-scale production is tens of hundreds of investors.
Because it involves all aspects, even Wang Yifan.
Therefore, we must give up part of the investment share.
After all, large-scale production means that a large-scale film arrangement must be required, and a large-scale film arrangement requires the support of the theater chain. Those films that can obtain more than 50% of the film arrangement basically give up some of them. In exchange for investment shares.
If you have money, everyone makes money. If you eat meat, let people drink soup. Otherwise, even if it is Wang Yifan, they may not buy it.
In this regard, Wang Yifan didn't care, anyway, when he reached his level, to be honest, how much money he made was of secondary importance, because others would certainly not make as much money as he made.
His pay is already among the top in the country. For example, this time in "The Monkey King", Wang Yifan's pay is 1+2. This 1 is not 10 million, but 100 million!
Is this high pay? In fact, it's really not a report. When converted into a US knife, it is less than 20 million, but the key is the second 2!
The 20% revenue share is not just a simple global box office share, but also the peripheral revenue share of all movies.
And the movie itself also has Wang Yifan's Star Dream Entertainment investment.
