Li Mingjuan will be the director of this film, Wang Yifan's no-name producer, and several well-known enterprises in Haixi City, will jointly sponsor 40 million "Hit the Wrong Car".
Of course, the sponsorship of these well-known companies is in the name of Haixi City, not themselves. However, when the movie is released, the final thanks will definitely appear on Haixi City and these companies.
The story script of "Hitch a Wrong Ride" was revised and revised by Wang Yifan.
"As for the actors, what do you think?" Wang Yifan asked.
Films like "The Wrong Ride" would cost less than 40 million yuan if some relatively ordinary actors were used to act, but the help to the box office was very limited.
Although the response of "Hitch the Wrong Car" in the previous life was very good, it is not too convincing because of its age.
The original box office of "Grateful Heart" also proved that the movie does not mean that well-known actors are not needed.
At least those more famous actors will have a big impact on the box office.
However, Li Mingjuan is the director, and Wang Yifan naturally respects Li Mingjuan's opinions.
Moreover, "Hitch the Wrong Car" actually, this movie has not yet started shooting, it can already be confirmed to be profitable, not only those sponsors, but also because this is a modern film, such a movie, naturally has the advertising placement Natural advantage.
"The Wrong Ride" is different from "The Martian". Although "The Martian" also has advertisements, there are not many, because the main plot takes place on Mars, and some of the daily supplies of the space agency are special. , Specially customized, so it is difficult to have any embedded value.
Therefore, most of the places where advertisements are placed are on the ground, such as banks, such as stores, but because the proportion of plots and shots are few, there are not many advertisements.
But "The Wrong Ride" is different. According to Wang Yifan's idea, this movie can be made bigger. First-line stars are invited to play. Many advertising companies often have the same price tag as the director and lineup of the movie's director and starring when the movie is placed in advertisements. And so on, are closely related.
If the director of this film is Wang Yifan, then the price will at least increase a lot.
However, Wang Yifan does not plan to shoot this movie himself. Li Mingjuan himself is also more suitable. The difficulty of shooting this movie is actually not that high.
Therefore, if you want to increase the price of advertising placement, then for sure, you need some celebrity actors who can play.
Li Mingjuan also thinks like this: "Director Wang, I want to find first-line celebrities to star, and several companies in Haixi City are also very interested in sponsoring advertisement placement. I think if possible, some roles can be Considering actors from Fujian?"
"You are a director. As long as it is appropriate, you can make your own decision. Do you have a candidate in your heart?" Wang Yifan asked.
Li Mingjuan nodded and said: "I want to find Chen Bu, or Li Junsheng to play the male lead or the female lead, Xue Bing is quite suitable."
Wang Yifan pondered for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Li Junsheng's pay is inappropriate. Moreover, he may not be able to watch this film."
Although "The Martian" hasn't been released yet, with Li Junsheng's current position, if "Hitch the Wrong Car" let him play, it will push the cost of the film to at least 100 million.
And the point is that Li Junsheng may not be willing to take this film.
"The Wrong Car" is actually a bit more literary. It is not impossible to use Li Junsheng, but if he comes to play, the single film pay is estimated to be more than 30 million, and it is not enough. The later stage of the film needs to be divided into at least 20%.
Although Li Junsheng’s popularity and celebrity status can bring good publicity effects to the movie, Wang Yifan still does not recommend Li Junsheng, the price is too low.
"Then Chen Bu?" Li Mingjuan nodded. Indeed, Li Junsheng’s box office appeal is indeed much higher than Chen Bu’s, but his remuneration is indeed high. The key is that "Take the Wrong Car" is not a commercial blockbuster. So how much this appeal can be achieved is really hard to say.
In fact, Chen Bu's appeal at the box office is not bad, and it is also a front line. The key is that Chen Bu is cheap. In terms of acting skills, Chen Bu is really better than Li Junsheng.
"You can arrange an audition first. The role of the dumb father is very demanding on acting. Let's see the effect of the audition."
"OK, by the way, what about the singer? How to solve it?" Li Mingjuan said entangledly.
Speaking of this, Wang Yifan also has some headaches. There are several episodes in "The Wrong Car", and the three songs of "Drinking Drinks", "The Same Moonlight" and "Please Come with Me". Wang Yifan's idea is to find a singer from Fujian Province. Let's sing, but to be honest, these few songs seem to be sung by anyone, but they can be sung well and suitable. So far, there is really no suitable one.
"If you really can't, it's not limited to the singers in Fujian Province. Anyway, "Hatch the Wrong Car" is just a Hokkien. It's not a hurry, anyway, the film hasn't started shooting, so you can prepare first." Wang Yifan thought about it and said.
"It can only be so." Li Mingjuan nodded.
In fact, it doesn't matter if it's other movies, but the episode and soundtrack of "Hitch the Wrong Car" can be said to be very important to the movie, so it makes them so embarrassed.
In fact, Wang Yifan doesn't need to care too much about the "Wrong Ride". The producer is just under the name production. The main things are Chen Hanming and Li Mingjuan.
His current job is still "The Martian"!
In a blink of an eye, the shooting of "The Martian" came to an end. In fact, the shooting of "The Martian" is really not difficult, mainly in the pre-production and post-production aspects. Compared with the shooting, it takes more time.
During this period of time, the film industry was surging, and New Star Entertainment once again became the focus.
Up to now, New Star Entertainment has released a total of three movies, "127 Hours", "Sniper Phone Booth" and "The Dark Side" just released.
As a result, the cost of "127 Hours" of 2 million (not including the announcement) won the box office of over 50 million.
"Sniper Phone Booth" cost 1.5 million (not including the announcement) and got nearly 50 million in the box office.
And if the first two are not enough to make people admire, then the 5 million cost of "The Dark Side" when it was released, the box office exceeded 100 million Chinese dollars, three movies, three big explosions, and the return on investment is scary. .
So, even if Newstar Entertainment is just a shell company, it still makes people jealous.
And the most important thing is that these films, with small investment, are all directed by new directors, and there are no big stars to join, but the shooting cycle is short, and the film is basically less than three months old from the start of the shooting to the release.
The result is amazing results, and the success rate of the three movies is 100%! The ratio of cost to box office is more than 10 times!
Therefore, several giants could not sit still.
