Chapter 495 He is bloated!
Good guys!
As soon as I signed with the company, I was offered a leading role in a movie.
Still a big production.
Who would believe this if I told others?
"Mr. Yu, I will definitely work hard to make movies and earn money for the company!"
The "poverty" of Yixing Entertainment has long been deeply rooted in people's minds. Even though it now has a Fanmi APP, none of its TV series have a rating below 8.5 on rating websites, and the albums released by its artists are also sold out.
In the eyes of the general public, Yixing Entertainment is still that small, shabby company where the "poor" boss cuts his own legs to support all the employees.
Yu Jingjing glanced at Zhang Bingfan helplessly.
But she said nothing.
It's a misunderstanding.
Artists work diligently and don’t have to spend much time on their own. Isn’t that great?
The signing process was quick.
Half an hour later, Zhang Bingfan officially became an artist of Yixing Entertainment.
Half an hour later, Zhang Bingfan became the male lead of "The Blue Sword" again.
Not only that, Zhang Shilin, who had read the script, also liked the movie very much. He directly paid for the film out of his own pocket and did not interfere with the content of the script or any other matters related to the crew.
Seeing Zhang Shilin take out the checkbook, Yu Jingjing and Zhao Fengya both showed the same expression.
It’s free money, don’t refuse it!
Therefore, the film, which originally had an investment of only 100 million, was instantly raised to 140 million.
Martial arts movies have gradually become unpopular in the film market, and there are not many big scenes in the script of "The Blade", so there is no need for any special effects.
Both the screenwriter Yu Weiwei and the director Long Qingquan prefer real-life shooting and real-life martial arts action.
Most of the investment was put into the construction of the studio and the rental of the venue.
An investment of one hundred million is not considered a large investment in today's film market.
After all, the more popular fantasy movies often require investments of hundreds of millions.
Even the youth campus movie had an investment of 70 to 80 million.
The initial investment was set at 90 million, taking into account that the main actors invited were all second-tier celebrities in China and would not ask for too high a salary.
But who could have imagined that the previously favored male lead would ask for a salary of 100 million.
Not only that, at Zhang Shilin's strong request, Zhang Bingfan only received a salary of NT$600,000 for this film, before tax.
The female lead was decided to be a film academy student introduced by Zhao Fengya's friend. She had graduated for more than a year, but because she offended someone, she couldn't get any work at all.
For this reason, the heroine directly said that even if she was not paid, as long as she was given a chance to film, it would be fine.
The lead actress's salary was only two million.
In the past, one-third or even half of the total investment could be spent on the salary of the movie's protagonist.
As a result, after a rough calculation by the financial staff of the "Blue Edge Sword" crew, even if the price of extras was included, the salary of all actors would not exceed 15 million!
"Fifteen million!" Long Qingquan couldn't help but complain to Yu Weiwei when he saw this rough calculation table, "The leading actress in my last movie got more than this. It's too real! It's really too real!"
Long Qingquan was so happy that he would wake up laughing in his dreams.
With more than 100 million left for him to make movies, he will have more room to display his talents.
Before, I just wanted to make a few real scenes, but now it’s different.
He's bloated!
He wants to book a theater at the movie city!
How many scenes from the movie? Expand!
