Because there were many big shots in this movie, Wu Haoshen would usually shoot the scenes of these big shots first. After their scenes were done, he would slowly shoot the literary and emotional scenes.
In fact, their schedule was not really that tight. It was just that before you could keep your word, you had to have some cards. When you stood at the top of the world one day, it would really become them who were worried about your cards.
This was just like when he was in Hangzhou, would he dare to not come over when he was told to?
If I hit you, you can hit me however you want. Even if it hurts, you have to endure it. Anyway, you definitely can't hit me. Money is like this, so Wu Haoshen didn't complain too much about this. He continued to develop his strength.
The battle between Huacheng and Chentian had just begun. With the establishment of Huacheng Cinemas, the first cinema alliance meeting was officially held under the leadership of Zhongdian and San Ye. The five hooligans of the Chinese entertainment industry officially appeared. For a considerable period of time, the entire big screen was decided by these five companies.
The number one spot was the most obvious, and no one dared to compete with it. It was the Zhongdian Star Beauty that controlled the lifeline of all physical cinemas. Just the right to import movies was destined to be the invincible overlord of Zhongdian. No matter who came, it would be useless.
Ranked second was the theater alliance with Bona as the core, combining parts of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai with three large cinemas in Guangzhou--the Southern Shinkansen. This was the top three theater alliance in the future, second only to Wan Da and Xing Mei.
The third place was the New Capital Film Alliance, which was led by Huacheng and a few other big names in the industry. This was the cinema alliance that represented the industry and was now the third place in name. If one counted their production ability, they were even stronger than the first-ranked Zhongdian Xingmei.
Ranked fourth was Shanghai Alliance, which represented the Shanghai circle and was based in the eastern Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai regions. This was also a theater alliance. After all, it was not very profitable to open a theater at this time. A lot of the box office and profits were divided by the various forces below, so there was no single strong theater at this time.
The fifth place was Wan University, which did not reveal its strength. At this time, Wan University was not strong, but its background was very strong. There were not many cinemas, but they were all new comprehensive cinemas, so they also had the strength to sit at the negotiation table.
The appearance of the five hooligans made Wu Kebo realize for the first time that his plans could not keep up with changes. The complexity of the domestic big screen was far beyond his imagination. It did not mean that if you had a good movie, others would definitely introduce it and arrange it for you. At the same time, the actual box office and the box office were two different things. The most exaggerated thing was naturally the box office share.
Under normal circumstances, the production company would take about 60% of the profits in Hollywood. If it was an overseas distribution, it would not take into account the publicity. The box office share should be around 40%.
However, the domestic market was no longer doing that. They wanted to raise the price. For ordinary movies, they could only take 35%. If it was a big production with more directors, they could take an appropriate increase, but it would definitely not exceed 45%. Who asked them to have difficulties in business?
This time, Wu Kebo was completely dumbfounded. The few big productions that he had frantically started had all turned red. If he couldn't discuss the distribution of the film in the middle in advance, and if he really had to film it well before discussing it, he wouldn't even know how much he would lose.
For example," The Warlords ", which had just been released, had an investment of 300 million yuan. If the highest 45% was calculated, the box office earnings would be 670 million yuan without any other taxes.
What kind of concept was this?
Musou, the most profitable Chinese film in history, had only broken 500 million yuan in the mainland. It was still a long way from 600 million yuan. That was almost the current ceiling.
And this was the highest cut. If it was calculated based on the lowest cut, it would take 860 million to return to the original cost. In an era where the main source of income was the box office in the mainland market, such a restriction was simply a death sentence for Chen Tian.
Chen Tian had indeed poached a lot of Heavenly Kings and Queens, but these people did not come without conditions. The most important thing was to invest in them and let them star in a big production.
Now that his hands and feet were tied, Wu Kebo wouldn't be able to invest as much as he wanted as long as he wasn't mentally ill. Therefore, he and Chen Tian Jiahe were severely restricted and couldn't do as much as he had initially imagined.
Wu Haoshen knew this very well. It was useless to stand on his own in this day and age, so he wouldn't consider setting up his own business for the time being. Ten years later, when the cinema chains were officially opened to the public to take photos, and many rules became transparent, he would be able to officially make a move. Before that, it was better to keep a low profile. Wu Kebo was a lesson from the past.
Liu Tianxian's previous filming experience was very simple. It was four TV series and one movie, so her acting skills were very immature. Once she broke away from the character setting and model that she was most used to, all kinds of shortcomings were exposed.
Wu Haoshen had already taken these factors into consideration when he designed the role of Feng Baobao. He did not expect her to have so many problems even when she was acting as a stoic, especially when it came to handling emotional scenes. She was too stiff.
"Heaven Immortal, stop for a moment. Don't shoot your literary drama for the time being. Shoot the others first. Come over and sit down.”
Liu Tianxian walked over to Wu Haoshen with a disappointed expression. She had already had many bad takes, and she had indeed put in a lot of effort to act, but she just couldn't do it. It seemed that she could only ask for help from Wu Haoshen, her godfather.
Zhen Zidan, who played Sun Ming, was also helpless. The previous big scenes had been very smooth, but he didn't expect that the last scene, which should be the simplest and easiest to shoot, would have problems.
Frankly speaking, he was a little angry from filming. She was simply a hopeless blockhead. She was really beautiful, but her acting skills... were really the worst among the female leads he had worked with.
Without the pig-like teammate, Liu Tianxian, who was a serious hindrance, the filming went much smoother, especially the fox spirit played by Zhao Huanhuan. It was unknown whether it was because she was acting naturally or her acting skills were seriously underestimated, but her performance was very good. Every frown and smile really had that kind of taste.
"When you're done, come back with me, Godfather. Take a look at what you've been filming. I've given you a chance. You know how many bad takes you've had in the past three days. You have to do as I say. It's your fault for being disappointing.”
Although Liu Tianxian didn't know how Wu Haoshen would deal with her, it definitely wouldn't be anything good. However, this was indeed her own problem. What else could she do other than resign herself to fate?
