"Mom, Director Wu personally asked someone to invite me to the audition. Don't you think I have a good chance this time?
That was a super big production with hundreds of millions of US dollars in investment. It should be the largest investment in Chinese movies in history. There were also big brothers and big brothers. If they could really play the female lead, it would be great.”
Liu Xiaoli was not as optimistic as her daughter. It was not that this was a scam, but with such an investment and such a lineup, Qianqian would be the female lead? Even though this was her biological daughter, Liu Xiaoli was still very suspicious. The difference in their levels was too great.
Chen Jinnan was smart enough not to say anything. He went back to his room silently. A hundred million USD investment, how much money would it take to bring in capital?
He really couldn't afford it, so it was better to keep a low profile and wait until this matter was over.
There was naturally no problem with Big Brother's side, but Li Lianjie's side was a little difficult to deal with. It was not that he was unwilling to act, but he was unwilling to lower his pay. It was not that he did not give a discount at all, but the price of 70 million was still a little too high.
After all, I gave your Brother Jie 70 million. I can't be lower than you, right? Fa Ge could lower the price, but not by too much.
Brother Fa already took 20 to 30 million. Chengcheng and Hua Zai couldn't possibly be too low, right?
The Hong Kong industry is getting so much pay, but the mainland doesn't seem to be giving them a certain amount of pay. How much do you think the pay alone will cost?
As for the dividends, Yang also accepted it as a way to revive the Chinese entertainment industry and help the younger generation, but Li Lianjie did not agree.
Money was not something that could be talked about. Even if the project was done, Wu Haoshen would not talk about money. Otherwise, how could he have an all-star lineup?
Therefore, what Wu Haoshen was talking about now was his dream. Otherwise, how could he trick people into acting for free or for a friendship fee? He had planned to reduce the pay of the ten superstars to less than 200 million yuan and use 300 million yuan for special effects.
"I won't say anything else. I just want to ask Big Brother and Brother Jie, do you have any feelings for the Chinese entertainment industry and Chinese movies?
Looking at the Chinese movies that were becoming less and less prominent, and were about to become the local market of Hollywood's ticket warehouse, did he really not feel anything?
Now we need you, and we also need such a super blockbuster that will greatly promote the film industry and film special effects. I would like to thank Third Master again. Third Master's support for us this time is really great. He doesn't even care about personal gains and losses. I also believe that China Electric Corporation will become more and more brilliant under Third Master's leadership.”
Han Sanye's face was flushed as he listened. He felt that Wu Haoshen was indeed very sensible and good at talking. No wonder such a difficult movie was really ruined by him. Anyway, the worst case scenario was to kick Li Lianjie out. If the movie really succeeded, he would be banned.
Yang Shoucheng was also very supportive of Wu Haoshen's big production. After all, they had invested less and had more shares. Even if they really lost money, they wouldn't lose much.
Once the box office sold well hit the charts, even he, the chairman of Emperor Entertainment, would be very tempted by the profits. That was a profit of several billion yuan, and there would be an endless stream of follow-up works.
Now, everyone had agreed. Just as Wu Haoshen had said, this movie was definitely risky, but the one who really took the risk was China Light and Power. Moreover, this movie would be of great help to the entire domestic film and television industry in promoting the revival of Xiangjiang's film and television industry.
First of all, the domestic film industry was almost in its infancy, but after this, there would definitely be a lot of progress. It could even support some technical professional companies.
The most expensive special effects were used by the Xiangjiang team, which would help the Xiangjiang team's special effects level greatly. It could even help them open up the international market and win the trust of the mainland market. This would also be a great boost to the Hong Kong industry.
Furthermore, it was just as Wu Haoshen had said. If this movie really succeeded, then the future of the Chinese entertainment industry would be very interesting.
In the future, even if Hollywood was still the center of the world, the Chinese entertainment industry would still be the Hollywood of the East. They would have the opportunity to compete with Hollywood on an equal footing. It would not be like this now, where they would be treated like grandchildren in the past.
Li Lianjie finally agreed under the persuasion of the crowd. Like Chen Long, they would each take 4% of the global box office, and Fa Ge would take 2%. They would sit for a while, and the three international superstars who had a certain degree of fame and influence around the world would not receive any pay. They would act without any pay and share the risk with the film.
The others naturally received a salary, but it was not high. It was definitely a friendship price. For example, Hua Zai, who had received 1600 yuan for "The Warlords," only received 2 million yuan this time. After all, he was not the main character this time, but one of the important supporting roles.
As for Wu Haoshen, the director who was the core figure of the film industry, he only received 8% of the global box office and copyright revenue. The rest was given to Emperor, China Power, and Huacheng.
Wu Haoshen didn't want to use other people's money and resources to do experiments for him. Once he succeeded, everything would be different.
Once such a big deal was reached, the three giants naturally released the news immediately. They wanted the entire Chinese entertainment industry to be shaken and see who was the most powerful leader in the industry.
When Liu Xiaoli heard the news that night, she was also very surprised. She didn't expect it to be true, and the most important thing was that the five superstars had really been sealed. This wasn't the one she had bragged about before, but a real superstar, one of the best in the entire Chinese entertainment industry.
The entire film and television industry was agitated. Countless agents and film companies were using all sorts of connections to get into this movie. Forget about getting paid for nothing, even if they had to pay them back, everything would be fine.
Many female celebrities even wished they could recommend themselves to sleep with him just to be a soy sauce in this strongest Chinese film in history.
At the same time, in order to show off his muscles, Yang Shoucheng had tacitly approved that some of the flagship cinemas in the first-and second-tier cities in the country would audition for Musou three days in advance. This would allow more audience and movie fans to see the amazing talent of this genius director, Wu Haoshen. It also explained why these old guys dared to bet so much on him.
After receiving the news, Liu Tianxian and her daughter went to watch the earliest scene at 10 o'clock in the morning. Then, they were completely shocked. They did not expect the movie to be so good. Before they left, they even bought two props in the movie-counterfeit money.
"Mom, it's unbelievable. He actually created a real counterfeit money production line just to make a movie. He can even produce such realistic counterfeit money. This Director Wu is really amazing.”
Liu Xiaoli had to admit that this was definitely the most daring and talented director she had ever seen, especially the Easter egg at the end of the film that destroyed the counterfeit money production line. It was really too shocking. She had never seen a movie like this. It was indeed arrogant.
After a simple stomachache, the mother and daughter rushed to the courtyard where Wu Haoshen was auditioning. Before they could get close, they were shocked by the lively scene.
It was full of people, densely packed. Other than the media reporters and some high-ranking fans, they were all well-known big stars in the industry and their respective managers.
Li Xue never thought that she would have such a glorious time. She directly said to the people outside the door,"Friends from the media, please follow the rules. Be quiet and take reasonable photos and interviews. We will make it convenient for you, and we hope you can make it convenient for us.
For those who are participating in the audition, I will repeat myself. Each person can only bring one manager or assistant at most. Also, the name will only be read out for two minutes at most. If no one answers, then pass. I hope you understand. The audition will officially begin in an hour.”
After Li Xue finished speaking, she went straight into the courtyard. She hadn't started eating yet. She would be very busy later, so it was better to eat more. She didn't know how Wu Haoshen came up with such an audition method, but it really made this movie popular. It was probably very difficult for people not to know about this movie.
