Huayu started by giving the system to female stars

Chapter 172 171. Threatening each other and issuing a ban

"Are they still cursing at each other?"

Yu Dong nodded and said, "Yes, they are fighting for their beloved! The two have been quarreling for several days, and the words are getting more and more intense.

"Wu Yusen accused Wei Wu of being obsessed with sex and not knowing how to respect his predecessors. He made two popcorn movies and didn't know his own weight!

"Wei Wu scolded him for being exhausted and being chased back by Hollywood like a drowned dog.

"And every movie he made lost money, and MGM went bankrupt, causing it to be swallowed up by Sony!"

Han Sanping couldn't help laughing after hearing this, and made a joke:

"Well, Wu Yusen used a little trick to bring down a century-old Hollywood film giant! It has contributed to the development of our country's film and television industry! ”

“Hahaha, that’s true,” Yu Dong nodded in agreement, and then continued to introduce:

“Then Wu Yusen counterattacked and said that Wei Wu’s mind and temperament would probably be like this for the rest of his life, and he would never go to Hollywood and become an international director.

“Wei Wu immediately said to him, you are so awesome, why did you come back? If you have the ability, don’t come back! Hollywood has kicked you out, and you are so arrogant.

“Then Wei Wu pointed out that "Red Cliff" first signed a contract with a Taiwanese company, and then went to the mainland to attract investment, so as to ensure that Taiwanese actors accounted for half of the starring roles.

“This trick is purely self-righteous, who thinks no one can see it?

“By the way, he also pointed out that Wu Yusen personally selected Lin Chiling as the heroine, and then specially asked Xiaoyanzi to promote her. The means are despicable. ”

Han Sanping’s eyes were deep, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, saying:

“Wei Wu really doesn’t want to suffer any loss. He is indeed a young man, and he is just full of energy!

"You definitely don't know yet. Wei Wu called me this morning and advised us not to invest in Red Cliff, otherwise it would be easy to lose all our money."

In fact, although China Film is the largest investor in Red Cliff, its investment is not much, 1/6 is less than 20%.

After all, this movie has 16 producers!

In fact, China Film's investment is only 100 million yuan, but in addition, China Film also agreed to advance the publicity and distribution costs, about 150 million.

The 100 million investment is not just nonsense by Wei Wu. Because in 2009, Han Sanping said at a special seminar held by China Film Group and China Film Art Research Center:

"The box office of the two parts of Red Cliff in the mainland is 590 million yuan, and China Film's box office share is more than 230 million. Including patch ads, a total of 260 million was earned.

"After deducting the publicity costs, the net profit reached more than 108 million. Basically, it reached a 100% return on investment, which is quite amazing for a movie. ”

Since he said a 100% return rate, it means that the investment of China Film in this movie is about 100 million yuan.

In fact, it was originally 100 million, but it was overspent! So China Film added a little more according to the proportion, so the final 100 million was slightly higher.

Yu Dong began to figure out what the old leader meant, so he tentatively said:

"Well, but our China Film seems to have signed the contract, but it has not yet paid the money..."

The film "Red Cliff" is scheduled to start shooting in early April next year, which is about half a year away!

So currently it is just setting up the scene and selecting the cast, and there are still a few links before the official shooting, so China Film is not in a hurry to pay.

Han Sanping waved his hand generously and said:

"Since the contract has been signed, how can it be broken? Anyway, our investment is only 100 million, so it's not a big deal even if we lose money. ”

Which of the blockbusters that Han Sanping has worked on over the years did not lose 100 million or 200 million? He is used to it!

Although China Film helped advance 150 million yuan in publicity and promotion expenses, since it is an advance payment, it means that it is temporarily loaned to you. It is not an investment and must be repaid.

It is equivalent to the producer using the box office share as collateral and then borrowing money from the distributor.

When the producer's box office share comes, the theater chain will first allocate the 150 million to the distributor who helped advance the payment, and then the remaining money will be distributed to the producer.

In other words, even if the producer's box office share is not enough for 150 million in the end, you, the producer, must make up the difference and return it to me.

Of course, this situation is basically unlikely It happens, after all, the distributor is not stupid, they also look at people and serve them according to their needs.

It is indeed an industry practice for the distributor to help advance the publicity and promotion expenses.

But the distributor will also evaluate the box office of the movie in advance, and then predict the box office as conservatively as possible, and then advance the payment to ensure that there is no risk.

Movies with good sales can advance a little more, but if the prospects are unclear and the movie has no sales, the distributor will be stingy and refuse to advance the payment directly.

Therefore, Han Sanping has no pressure at all, and he is still watching the fun leisurely.

First, the 150 million yuan of publicity expenses paid in advance can definitely be recovered; second, even if it loses money, it will only lose 100 million yuan at most, which he can afford.

"What about later?"

Yu Dong replied: "Then Wei Wu's actions may have forced Wu Yusen into a hurry, so he directly said:

"Liu Yifei is just the beginning. In the future, he will not use any of Wei Wu's actors.

"Then Wei Wu also made harsh words. Anyone who participates in "Red Cliff" will have trouble with him. It will be impossible for him to work with these actors again in the future!"

Han Sanping's face suddenly looked a little unhappy, and he sighed and said:

"This is a bit too much! The two of them were just having a war of words. There was no need to engage in it. You blocked me, and I blocked you...it was a mess."

"Yes, yes," Yu Dong nodded and said:

"It's really inappropriate, but two people are angry right now, and they can say anything in a hurry.

"However, after Wei Wu's harsh words, two important actors actually resigned the next day, earlier today!"

Han Sanping was a little surprised: "Really? Wei Wu is so good at talking now? Oh, who is so generous to him?"

Yu Dong then revealed them one by one: "The first one is Xiao Yanzi. After all, Wei Wu has raised the issue of others using her as a ladder. If she doesn't quit acting, she won't be able to show off her face!"

Han Sanping nodded slightly: "Yes, if it is the heroine, you may still hesitate. But with a female lead, and the scene is so ugly, there is no point in continuing to act. Who else is it?"

Han Sanping thought that the second one should also be a mainland actor, but Yu Dong said a name that he didn't expect:

"Well, it's the leading actor - Chow Yun-fat."

Han Sanping was stunned for a moment: "How could it be him? Wasn't Wu Yusen kind to him? And I heard that the relationship between them has always been good. How could he suddenly do something like this at this time?"

Yu Dong shook his head and said: "No one really knows why. But his withdrawal as the leading actor really caused an uproar. Wu Yusen is really embarrassed this time."

The answer to why Chow Yun-fat suddenly resigned from "Red Cliff" in his previous life is probably only known to him.

But what is certain is that there should be a lot of rift between Chow Yun-fat and Wu Yusen.

Otherwise, "Red Cliff" wouldn't have just disappeared on the first day it was launched.

He did not notify Wu Yusen in advance. Instead, he suddenly announced his withdrawal from the filming of "Red Cliff" on the day of filming, which caught Wu Yusen off guard.

After Chow Yun-fat voluntarily quit, Wu Yusen urgently asked Tony Leung to fill in as the male lead Zhou Yu.

Although I don’t know if it’s because the script is so bad? Or is it salary or other reasons? But Chow Yun-fat doesn't want to act in "Red Cliff", there is no doubt about it!

Originally, Chow Yun-fat was worried that he couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse, but this time something like this happened, so he stepped back and retreated neatly.

Anyway, if he quit "Red Cliff", he would definitely offend Wu Yusen.

No matter when, he believed that as long as he resigned, Wu Yusen would definitely not cooperate with him again.

In this case, it is better to use the waste, at least to win Wei Wu's favor.

Nowadays, Chow Yun-fat sees the decline of the Hong Kong and Taiwan film and television circles more clearly than anyone else! In addition, I can’t stand in Hollywood——

Then the focus of his next work will inevitably shift to the mainland, so that it will be inconvenient to offend Wei Wu.

Although Wei Wu is indeed not comparable to Wu Yusen in all aspects, the problem is that he is young!

Wu Yusen was born in 46 years old and is already 60 this year!

We are almost at the end of our career now! After all calculations, the career life span may only be about 10 years at most!

And Wei Wu is only 22 this year! At least, he still has at least 40 years of professional life left.

Choose sides in this situation? Is it difficult to choose?
