Chapter 414: A big loss

The latest website: If you stabilize your mind, you will be better at work.
Although Lin Zhehua was hit by Chen Hui again, he was not depressed again. Instead, he continued to work hard to act. There is nothing to say about his work attitude. It can be said that he is very dedicated.
The acting skills are not enough, the attitude comes together.
Not enough talent, try hard to get it together.
In fact, there are many people who have not worked hard to the point where they can compete with others, but they start to complain about their lack of talent. This mentality is also quite ridiculous.
At least you work hard, earnestly and really work hard, and then you still can't compare with others, you can say that there is a gap in talent, which is understandable.
Many people have not tried to do their job well at all, but have begun to complain about lack of talent. This is purely making excuses for their laziness.
Lin Zhehua is definitely not such a person.
Whether it is singing or acting, he has done his best, so, to a certain extent, he has really done diligence to make up for his weaknesses.
Based on this, his future development path will certainly not be too bad.

After the filming of the important scenes of the rooftop showdown, the filming of the "Infernal Affairs" crew progressed faster and smoother. So far, some important plot shots have almost been finished. With the cooperation of Liu Qiangwei and Mai Zizhao, The progress of the crew has even advanced a bit.
This is good, you can leave more time for the post-production of the film, and there is also room for checking for omissions, and the final quality of the entire film will be more secure.
With the progress of the shooting, many people in the crew gradually became optimistic about the film "Infernal Affairs".
Some important supporting actors and old drama players occasionally talk privately about their views on this film.
Most people now think that this film will definitely be a good one. Although everyone is uncertain at the final box office, from the perspective of the script, the shooting scene, and the attitude of the actors, directors, and crew, this film The quality will be high.
Especially some old actors, who are very experienced and have a very vicious vision. What a crew looks like and what kind of movies they can make can generally be figured out within a few days of joining the group, but sometimes they are also mixed. Eating with mouthfuls, seeing through is not enough.
But now, almost everyone attaches great importance to the crew of "Infernal Affairs", because they all feel instinctively that they seem to have participated in a masterpiece that is difficult to encounter. Such an experience is not just a mess. It's that simple. Once you seize the opportunity, you may double your worth several times!
Just like the actors in "Crazy Stone", after the performance of the movie Stone, several protagonists, including several supporting roles, have become popular film and television actors. Many directors of the crew are rushing to ask for this. It is the change that a good show brings to the actors.
Therefore, many people are now beginning to believe that "Infernal Affairs" also has this potential!
"Silly strong, how many box office do you think our movie will get in the end?"
When in the crew, many actors will call each other by the name of the character, which feels a little easier and more convenient, and it's kinder.
The actor of Silly Qiang is an actor brought by Liu Qiangwei from the southern entertainment circle. His strength is not bad, at least he can reach the level of seven or eight points in Chen Feng's impression.
Although Shaqiang has a low IQ in the movie, he is not stupid in reality.
"I don’t know...but I remember that before the release of "Crazy Stone", the director seemed to have said that he hoped a billion box office, but in the end "Crazy Stone" got a total box office of about 1.8 billion... As for "Infernal Affairs" "...I think it can be at least a billion..."
After listening to the silly words, Lin Guoping's actor shook his head.
"Although I also think the film "Infernal Affairs" should be very good, but I always feel that there is a bit too much literary drama, I don't know what the market feedback will be in the final release..."
Silly Qiang thought for a while, and said: "It's not necessarily true. The literary drama can also be very good. Haven't we all already seen it? Maybe the audience will like it... But how much do you think this movie can get? box office?"
Lin Guoping smiled and said, "I think, at least one billion yuan..."
"Cut...then you just shook your head..." Silly Qiang pointed his at Lin Guo.
"I am teasing you..."
"Be careful I beat you!"
...
Just as the two actors were whispering in whispers, Liu Qiangwei passed behind them with a cup of coffee.
Vaguely, Liu Qiangwei also heard their two guesses about the final box office of "Infernal Affairs".
Billion...
If the final box office of "Infernal Affairs" can reach a billion, then this film will be considered a big profit.
After all, the total investment in the movie now amounts to only about 40 million yuan, one billion at the box office, and the producer can finally get about 400 million yuan from the theater, which is almost ten times the investment.
It's really enviable.
If... he had chosen to get the money based on the movie’s box office share, as a director, he should be able to get 2%. Based on the net profit calculation, after deducting the film’s production and distribution costs and various tax expenses, he would end up being almost the same. Can get... more than five million.
Five million to 1.5 million!
It's a big loss.
But Liu Qiangwei did not have any sad expression on his face.
After all, when the contract was signed, according to his request, the 1.5 million had already been called to him in advance.
The money has helped him solve some of the troubles at home, so now he can work more at ease.
As for the more than five million that might be earned... No amount of money can solve his urgent needs, so now he doesn't regret it much.
He is a man who can handle clearly.
But the only thing that made him feel a little guilty was that Mai Zizhao received only 1.5 million yuan under his influence, which is actually quite a loss for Mai Zizhao.
But Mai Zizhao is his own person after all. Although he has lost this time, he will definitely find a way to help him make up for it in the future.
As for Liu Qiangwei, what he identified was something he could do.
Of course, if the film "Infernal Affairs" can really get a box office of more than one billion, then Liu Qiangwei's worth as a director will naturally increase. Even if this film earns less, his new films will also There will be a higher right to speak and the proportion of accounts, which is more meaningful.
Therefore, Liu Qiangwei's mentality is very stable, without wavering at all.
In any case, let's shoot the film first!
...
By mid-August, the movie market had already started to bustle.
The sci-fi blockbuster invested by Beidou Entertainment has begun to promote the work, and some related news reports often appear on the hot topics list.
Although there are no outstanding works on the subject of science fiction films in Chinese-language movies, everyone knows that this subject matter is actually very potential and marketable. After all, every year some imported science fiction films crazily take away a lot of box office. Very jealous.
But everyone also knows that sci-fi movies are really not easy to shoot, the investment is large, and the risk is also high. Except for large entertainment companies like Beidou Entertainment which have the courage to invest in this theme, other companies or capital parties have no such courage.
This time, for this science fiction film of Beidou Entertainment, the screenwriter invited Tian Ming, a well-known science fiction master in China, to create a new script by him.
Tian Ming is currently the only best-selling sci-fi author in China. Because of the niche nature of sci-fi themes, most of sci-fi are not very popular. Only Tian Ming’s works are currently very popular and have high sales. For spread.
However, although Tian Ming is now very famous, many of his works were sold to other companies with full copyright at low prices in his early years. Therefore, although he has gained popularity now, the income of his works is not high.
This also made Tian Ming a little depressed.
Fortunately, some of the new works he wrote in recent years have been sold at good prices. Moreover, Beidou Entertainment directly invited him to be a screenwriter this time, which also offered a not low price.
With Tian Ming as a science fiction master, this science fiction film of Beidou Entertainment has a publicity and promotion stunt. Recently, Tian Ming and Beidou Entertainment have frequently appeared on the hot topic list.
Many readers and viewers are also looking forward to it.
After all, it is the first step in a domestically produced science fiction film. Everyone hopes that they can make a good start.
However, so far, the exposure of this film is still too little, except for some conceptual things and some stills, there is no complete trailer for the time being.
But the more this happens, the more interested some science fiction fans and movie fans are. Many people even directly speculate about what the new film will look like from some of Tian Ming's previous works.
I have to say that the power of netizens is still very strong. After some people's analysis, combined with the stills that have been exposed, they actually guessed the general genre of the movie.
...
"This should be a science fiction movie of the interstellar voyage. According to a short story about cosmology and psychology written by Tian Ming six years ago, this time I want to use this concept, which is about the psychological difference in the process of human interstellar voyage. The exploration of changing problems..."
"This setting is very interesting, science fiction + psychology + horror suspense... It should be a bit of a mess. UU reading www.uukanshu.com"
"But there are also some worries, will the hard science fiction part be weakened and become a psychological suspense film covered in science fiction?"
"Probably not. Everyone looks at the spacesuit in the stills. The design is very sophisticated, and it obviously has an outer space scene."
"I hope this film can make a good start for Chinese science fiction movies!"
...
Chen Feng also browsed some related consultations. Chen Feng still admires Beidou Entertainment's courage to try to shoot science fiction films. After all, he also knows that science fiction blockbusters are really not easy to shoot well, and there are also box offices that make a big hit Maybe, for this kind of explorer, it is really admirable.
At the same time, Chen Feng also knows that with the development of the film market, with the development of the film industry, with the development of science and technology and the level of brokerage, science fiction blockbusters may indeed become one of the more mainstream themes in the future.
I only hope that the practitioners of Chinese-language films can be prepared before this phenomenon occurs!
