China Entertainment: Director’s happiness is so simple

As time approaches March.

The Spring Festival season has also come to an end, and the dust has basically settled on all the movies.

There is no suspense whether "Wonderful Night 2" can reach a box office of 1 billion. The only question is when it will break through.

The popularity of the three films released during the Spring Festival has also brought huge gains to Xingchen and his partner companies.

The first is the actor's income.

The actor who made the biggest profit this time was undoubtedly Fan Wei.

With a box office of over 1 billion, and the support of the male protagonist of the most powerful Chinese-language series, Chef Fan’s net worth has basically reached the top of the domestic entertainment industry after this Spring Festival season.

This also brings a not very good news, that is, a situation that all series will encounter.

The more popular the series is, the greater the salary will be if the main actors remain the same.

Fan Wei's salary for "Wonderful Night 1" was less than 1 million, and for "Wonderful Night 2" it was 3 million. If "Wonderful Night 3" were to be filmed now, according to the market price, Fan Wei's studio salary would be 5 million.

This price is only slightly less than Ge You.

Fan Wei gave an excellent attitude in this regard. Teacher Fan's character is guaranteed.

He talked about this with Lu Ping An during the road show. Although the contract signed by the two parties at the beginning did not specify the salary, but adjusted it according to the market price, Fan Wei also said that if Lu Ping An continued to film, no matter how much In the future, his remuneration will not be based on the market price, everything will be based on movies.

This made Lu Ping'an look at Fan Wei with admiration again. He is truly an artist with both virtue and skill!

However, for the "Wonderful Night" series, Lu Pingan does not plan to shoot more.

Just make a trilogy like the original time and space.

In other words, "Wonderful Night 3" will be the final chapter.

Regarding the final chapter, Lu Pingan has also communicated with CCTV and will link up with "National Treasure" in the future to achieve a perfect completion.

Of course, spin-off movies and extra movies are still possible.

But for Fan Wei, the most he can do is make a cameo, so in the "Wonderful Night" series, Fan Wei only has one film role.

In this way, it doesn’t matter whether there is a salary cap or not.

Fan Wei expressed slight regret for this, but more support.

After all, people have artistic pursuits, so they can't just play the role of "night security guard" for the rest of their lives.

In addition to Fan Wei, Liu Qianqian's net worth has also increased significantly because she is the heroine of "Wonderful Night 2".

According to her, the current salary quotations on the market for movies are around 3 million to 5 million.

Belongs to the head level in the front line of domestic entertainment.

In the same bracket are Zhou Gongzi, Shuang Bing and others, lower than the international chapter.

Mainly because Liu Qianqian has no awards.

However, there are also many problems here.

For example, the quotation is 5 million, and it can eventually reach 8 million or even 10 million, which is very flexible.

But it can be completed in the contract for 2 million.

Everyone understands the yin and yang contract.

In fact, Yin-Yang contracts were quite popular during this period.

Quotations on many celebrities’ faces are like this.

Of course Lu Ping An would not agree to this.

Even if it is obvious that he will reduce his salary, he cannot play like this.

Affect coffee position?

You have Lu Ping An, a super big guy, here, why do you need to worry?

After Fan Wei and Liu Qianqian, there are Hu Ge and others.

Brother Hu is still a TV star, and his "Sword and Sword 3" has not been aired yet, so he is not particularly impressive among TV stars.

But now a movie, even if it's just a few minutes of footage, he already has the status of a movie star.

However, Brother Hu is still very obedient. Lu Ping'an said that in the future, if he manages TV series well, he should first be the first brother in the TV series. There is no rush in the movie. Brother Hu happily agreed.

In fact, compared to Brother Hu, Bao Qiang and others gained more this time.

Bao Qiang, Huang Bo, Xu Shanzheng and others are all the protagonists of the movie.

After the Spring Festival, everyone is an actor with a box office of 500 million.

The market's current salary quotation for them has reached a minimum of 2 million.

Advertising has also reached a starting price of 1.5 million.

Among them, the biggest increase was undoubtedly Huang Bo.

The main character of "Fantastic Night 2" + the absolute male protagonist of "Crazy Racing".

In addition, before the Spring Festival, he was not as famous as the other two.

This time it really exploded.

People from the company's brokerage department even suggested that Huang Bo be given the title of "Two Billion Actor".

The two parts of "Wonderful Night" were worth 1.5 billion, and the two parts of "Crazy" were worth 700 million.

Lu Ping'an rejected it.

People in the company thought Lu Ping An wanted to keep a low profile, after all, it was easy to attract attention at this time.

Lu Ping'an just said lightly: Can you get a mere 2 billion? At least until 10 billion!

When these words reached Huang Bo's eyes, his sense of pride was extinguished on the spot, and he began to reflect on himself again and again. The pattern must be enlarged, the pattern must be enlarged.

I won’t mention the rest of the actors, but they all gained.

Xingchen can't gain much from them, just maintain a happy cooperative state.

In addition to the actors, the company also gained a lot from this cooperation.

Among the producers, apart from Xingchen itself, Hengdian Studios is the happiest.

Xiao Xu from Hengdian started calling Lu Pingan on the seventh day of the first lunar month, saying that the number of tourists in Hengdian had increased significantly.

After a few days of phone calls, by the end of February, Xiao Xu said that Hengdian could no longer accommodate tourists.

In addition to the tourism market, Hengdian's reputation has also increased significantly. It is said that the number of new film crews in the new year has increased by 20% compared with last year.

Xiao Xu chuckled on the phone, very happy.

Lao Xu also called several times, asking Lu Pingping to sit down.

Lu Ping'an smiled and agreed, but he had to finish the time before talking.

Hengdian made a lot of money, but it was still not as good as Xingchen himself.

This time "Wonderful Night 2" earned nearly 1 billion at the box office.

Various industries related to movies have also exploded.

Let’s not talk about theater chains, they are the ones who make the most money.

The total box office during the Spring Festival exceeded 2 billion, and theaters earned half of it. The entire industry is now grateful to Ping An.

There are also huge profits in peripheral markets.

Stickers, posters, peripheral toys, copyright authorization, etc., the transaction amount exceeded 160 million in just one month.

Just like the original "Kung Fu Panda", the comic versions of various characters launched by Xingchen have now become the most popular IPs in various industries such as clothing, stationery, and toys.

To be honest, this is not entirely due to the popularity of the IP of "Wonderful Night".

It’s because of the popularity of the IP and the various images in the comic version that are well done.

For example, there are vivid and refined images, Q version images, and cyberpunk images, etc.

Just like the skins in the game of Kings, there are various styles.

This is a work from Xingchen Animation, and there is currently no animation business model on the market that "skin-izes" a single image in such an in-depth way.

In addition, these images are very "foreign". At first glance, they are different from the current "joyful" ones. Not only are they not so childish, they are also very handsome.

So it will naturally be popular.

In this regard, Ping An has actually begun to implement a bigger idea.

That is to directly move out the King of Glory.

There are all historical figures in this game, and they are relatively close to the theme of "Wonderful Night", so they can be related.

This is the same as the previous chicken game, and can be launched at an appropriate time in the future.

In addition to its own various benefits, this Spring Festival stall also completed an ideological unification of colleagues in the mainland (End of Chapter)
