Chapter 657 764 Million
Wang Shu did not continue to pay attention to the subsequent impact of "The Night the Comet Came" and "Iron Man 2".
Because at this moment, others are in Iceland, rushing to film "Interstellar".
"Action!"
As Wang Shu shouted, the scene footage began to advance, and the actors began to perform.
This scene is a shot of the spaceship parked on the water on Miller's planet, and Anne Hathaway getting off the spacecraft to explore.
Immediately afterwards, there was Anne Hathaway's shocked expression when she saw this alien planet full of water.
This can be divided into three shots, one is the shot of Anne Hathaway getting off the spaceship, one is the shot of Anne Hathaway entering the water, and the other is the shot of Anne Hathaway's facial expression.
But Wang Shu is trying to shoot it in one shot.
"Click."
The water was very cold, and Anne Hathaway's spacesuit was relatively heavy. Wang Shu obviously felt that the other party's performance was inconsistent in one shot.
It's not that it's incoherent, but he's not very satisfied.
"Annie, let's shoot it in three shots." Wang Shu gave up on taking one shot to the end, "First take the picture of you getting off the spaceship, then the picture of you entering the water, and finally the picture of your facial expression standing in this position looking at the planet. Picture.”
Pointing to where Anne Hathaway needs to stand.
Anne Hathaway pouted and apologized while making up for herself: "Shu, I'm sorry, the space suit is very heavy, and the water is very cold, so..."
"It's okay." Wang Shu heard the words and quickly encouraged the other party, "You have performed very well, and this shot was originally shot in three shots, but it was delayed for several days because of my absence these days. So I want to speed up the shot to the end.”
"It's my fault, it's my fault, it's none of your business."
"You did well!"
Wang Shu has never been a director who shows off his temper on the set, but is an exaggerated director who provides emotional value to the actors.
He knows very well that as the director of the crew, if the actor loses his temper and is not in the right state, his own time will be wasted.
Relatively speaking, it is better to provide emotional value to the actors, so that the actors seem to be in full condition during their time on the set.
This saves time, effort and worry when filming.
Wang Jin, the great Hong Kong director, understands this very well.
Sure enough, when Anne Hathaway heard this, a smile appeared on her pretty face, she quickly adjusted her condition and started filming again.
"Action!"
With one lens divided into three lenses, shooting becomes much smoother.
After a while, these shots were completed successfully.
Next, shoot scenes of Anne Hathaway interacting with supporting characters.
In the original timeline, Matt Damon actually participated in "Interstellar."
But now it is directed by Wang Shu, and he has chosen Matthew McConaughey to play the male lead. Given his relationship with Matt Damon, it would be a bit embarrassing to just ask him to come and play a supporting role.
So, it’s better not to find Matt Damon.
After a busy day, it’s time to get off work again.
After dinner, Anne Hathaway knocked on the door and came to Wang Shu's room.
"Shu, are my acting skills a little bad?" Anne Hathaway asked aggrievedly.
"No." Wang Shu stood up and stroked the other person's hair, comforting him softly.
This is true. After all, Anne Hathaway is from Disney. Although her acting skills are not top-notch, she is still of a certain standard. Otherwise, she would not have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress at such a young age.
Anne Hathaway rolled her eyes and snorted: "You never said that other people's acting skills are poor!"
As a praise-oriented director, Wang Shu basically encourages actors and rarely loses his temper to criticize actors' acting skills.
"Alas~" Wang Shu sighed after hearing this, "I told you and you don't believe me, so there's nothing you can do about it."
"You performed very well in today's scene."
“Although there were some bumps along the way, they were due to the influence of external factors.”
"I also know that the spacesuit is heavy and the water is cold. I can't blame you."
"After the storyboarding, isn't it a perfect performance?"
"But I still feel that I can do better." Anne Hathaway said slightly aggrieved.
Her gesture was actually to express her attitude towards her acting career in front of Wang Shu, so as to prevent Wang Shu from having a negative impression of her in his heart.
If Wang Shu had a bad impression of her artwork, she would feel that it would be difficult for her to have another chance to cooperate with Wang Shu in the future.
In other words, many actors basically try their best to show their perfect side in front of Wang Shu, so as to win Wang Shu's favor and get the opportunity to cooperate with him.
"It's not your fault." Wang Shu pinched Anne Hathaway's pretty face, "You are not a professional astronaut. It is normal for you to be unable to keep up with your physical strength. In addition, the environment of the filming location is very harsh. It will definitely be affected.”
Wang Shu smiled and said, "I told you, you performed very well after the storyboarding."
"Yeah." Anne Hathaway responded softly with a smile on her face.
Wang Shu took her in his arms, and Anne Hathaway not only did not resist, but also responded proactively.
The two of them rolled onto the bed. Anne Hathaway lay on Wang Shu's body, raised her head and whispered softly: "Shu, you are amazing!"
This is a double entendre.
Wang Shu couldn't help it anymore.
May went by in a blink of an eye.
"The Night the Comet Came" was released from theaters with a box office of 764 million.
This 764 million must first pay a 3.3% special business tax and a 5% special fund for film industry development, and the remaining 91.7% is the net box office that can be divided into accounts.
In other words, the remaining 700 million belongs to the divisible box office.
Based on the calculation that the theaters will take 57% and the producers + distributors will take 43%, 301 million will be left.
The publisher is also a business that attracts money, usually accounting for 5%-7% of the total net box office.
This time, China Film Distribution accounted for 7%, which means that the remaining 36% belongs to Yishu Company.
That is 252 million.
Yishu Company earned 252 million from the box office of "The Night the Comet Came" alone this time.
Selling the copyright in the future will be another source of income.
It's just that domestic TV screening copyright fees are pitifully low and can basically be ignored.
The majority will be on the online side in the future, as well as overseas copyrights.
For example, the next time Wang Shu goes to the three major European companies, he can sell the copyright of "The Night the Comet Came" abroad.
With his Oscar-winning reputation as a great director, he should be able to fetch a good price.
With the investment of 40 million by Yishu Company, the film, which was shot for only three days, achieved a 7.64 and a net profit of 252 million at the box office. The news spread and shocked many people in and outside the industry.
In particular, Tencent and Alibaba have accelerated their deployment in the film and television industry.
Soon, with the addition of big capital, the film and television industry will undergo earth-shaking changes.
At the same time, there are also many coal bosses who don't know how to make money in business and are investing money in the film industry. In the eyes of many people, a movie shot in three days can earn a box office of 764 million. Is it possible that the film industry is as simple as picking up money?
Although many people know in their hearts that perhaps Wang Shu is a great director, special and exceptional.
But...the fact that a movie shot in three days can earn a box office of 764 million has finally given many people the illusion that money can be made in the film industry.
Not only the coal bosses think so, but also big capital companies such as Tencent and Alibaba think so.
And big capital also has the confidence to use money to pave the way!
In June, the filming of "Interstellar" came to an end. For the remaining scenes shot in cornfields, the filming had to be suspended because the corns had not grown enough to be used for filming.
Wang Shu returned to China and held a belated celebration banquet for "The Night When the Comet Came" in the capital.
Sun Li, Chen Hao, Liu Yan, Zhao Liying, Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Jiang Wu, and Yang Wei are all here.
After making a huge profit, Wang Shu was not stingy and booked a banquet in the hotel for more than 100,000 yuan.
More than 100,000 yuan in 2010 was still very valuable.
As for sealing red envelopes for Sun Li, Chen Hao and others, he had not thought about it.
It's not that he is stingy, it's that the remuneration he paid to Sun Li, Chen Hao and others is the market price.
There is no mistake in every song, one post, one content, one 6 one, one book, one book, take a look!
If someone is acting for a friendly price and he makes a lot of money and doesn't send red envelopes, it means he doesn't know how to behave.
For example, Xu Zheng is like this.
"People on the Road" was not directed by Xu Zheng, and the script was not written by Xu Zheng.
The script of "囧囧" is also not Xu Zheng's, but he obtained it through some dirty methods.
Then he started to prepare for the filming of "囧囧". Since he couldn't get investment and couldn't find actors, Wang Baoqiang, who had collaborated with "囧囧路", came to him and said that he would star for free and only need to pay his agency's agent 2 million. Just divide it approximately.
Obviously, Wang Baoqiang thought about friendship and wanted to help Xu fight for it.
Then "囧囧" grossed more than 1 billion at the box office. Xu Zheng made a lot of money, but he really didn't pay Wang Baoqiang, nor did he send a red envelope to express his gratitude.
He even told Wang Baoqiang that according to the contract, he did not need to pay remuneration...
After filming "囧 in Hong Kong", Xu Zheng approached Wang Baoqiang. Wang Baoqiang said that he would invest 10 million to participate in the box office share, but Xu Zheng was not happy.
After that, the two broke up.
The wine table was full of people from the production crew, and there was no sense of unfamiliarity at all, and they chatted freely.
Although "The Night When the Comet Came" was only filmed for three days, there was a reading session before that.
Therefore, we spent most of the time together.
As soon as Wang Shu sat down, he had the idea of running away.
Because everyone at the dinner table was toasting to him, which made him a little unbearable.
Even though he has a lot of talent, it is still difficult to fight one against one table.
"Director Wang, I'd like to toast you. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in this movie." Deng Chao said politely as he stood up from his cup.
Wang Shu also said politely: "It's not that I gave you a chance, but that you are an excellent actor yourself. Even if I don't look for you, other crews will look for you."
Although Deng Chao did not collaborate much with Wang Shu, through Sun Li's influence, he knew that Wang Shu was a flattering director.
These are polite words, just listen to them, don't take them seriously.
Deng Chao smiled and drank the white wine in his glass.
Seeing this, Wang Shu could only say: "It's not that I don't want to accompany you, but that I really can't stand it anymore."
"Haha." Everyone present laughed when they heard this, and Deng Chao also laughed and said: "Director Wang, you can do whatever you want."
Wang Shu nodded without being polite and took a small sip casually.
It's not that he doesn't show respect to Deng Chao, but if he drinks it any longer, he should have some signs of dizziness.
Another round of toasts followed, and Yang Wei asked curiously: "Shuzi, has the movie you collaborated with Paramount finished?"
He specifically called Shuzi to express his relationship with Wang Shu.
As expected, there were several people around who looked envious.
Seeing everyone looking over, Wang Shu shook his head and said, "No."
Then he explained, "There is still a part of the scene that was not filmed, which was the location where corn was grown in the Northeast."
There have been news reports about his planting corn in Northeast China, and it was even compared to Zhang Yimou's planting sorghum to make a movie.
Chen Kun spoke up at the right time: "Wouldn't it take another month or two to film?"
"No." Wang Shu said with a smile, "Corn can be planted in the Northeast as early as May, and the growth cycle is three months."
"The corn has been planted in early May, and we should be able to shoot in the middle of this month."
Seeing that everyone was a little confused, he then explained, "The corn does not need to mature, it just needs to grow."
Although Sun Li, Chen Hao and others didn't quite understand what corn could grow in one and a half months, they still nodded in understanding.
"I see." Chen Kun responded suddenly, then raised his cup and said, "Then I wish Director Wang all the best for the rest of the filming."
Seeing this, other people also raised their glasses and echoed, "Yes, I wish Director Wang all the best for the rest of the filming."
Seeing this, Wang Shu had no choice but to raise his cup in response.
After the celebration banquet was over, the group went back to their homes.
Sun Li and Deng Chao went back together, while Chen Kun, Jiang Wu, and Yang Wei went back alone.
Liu Yan also left first because he still had a schedule.
Chen Hao looked at Wang Shu, then at Zhao Liying, and said: "Liying, you go back first, I will see Director Wang off."
Zhao Liying heard this and thought that you were a senior in the industry and the second female lead in "The Night the Comet Came". You had the final say, so she sweetly responded: "Well, then you should be careful on the road."
< br>
After saying that, he waved to Wang Shu again and shouted: "Goodbye, Director Wang."
"Well, goodbye." Wang Shu responded with a smile.
After saying that, he looked at Chen Hao and said, "I can go back by myself. You can leave first like Liying and don't worry about me."
These words happened to be heard by Zhao Liying who turned around and left.
Even though it is just a simple sentence, it is of great use.
Without this sentence, a more thoughtful person would definitely think that Chen Hao was driving away the others, leaving herself and Wang Shu together.
Then...
With this sentence, it showed that Chen Hao simply didn't want Zhao Liying to be in trouble, and he was also uneasy after seeing Wang Shu drink a lot of wine.
Wang Shu also thought so, and then Yao Qiang declined politely.
To put it simply, it means that people will not have the idea that there is something fishy in it.
When Chen Hao heard this, he snorted: "After drinking so much wine, who knows if you will fall down halfway?"
"I didn't drink much, so I'll send you back first and then I'll go back."
Wang Shu thought for a while and said: "The villa I live in is far away from here, and it's too troublesome to come back and forth."
"I also have an apartment here. If you are worried, just send me to the apartment there?"
