I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

However, inviting big names does not mean that the box office is safe. Watch Extinction, Legend of the Gods, and The Great Wall, which one is not full of big names, these fans will not just because their idols star in Walk into the cinema to support, so we can't expect big names to bring us box office. Rao Xiaozhi is still very rational.

He followed the boss of the cat factory, was he proud?

Look at this Wei Lai, he definitely doesn't know the real identity of Director Lin, otherwise he wouldn't be in this state.

If there is no change in the process of cooperation, it is estimated that it will be difficult to win Director Lin's favor next time.

In fact, most people are like this.

Information is also a kind of wealth.

Too bad most people don't.

Indeed, fans may even boycott this movie if they see that their idol is only playing a small supporting role. Lin Dong was overjoyed, and pretended to be worried and said: Besides, if too many big names are invited, the salary will also be a pressure .”

At this time, Rao Xiaozhi really wanted to say, a bitch is hypocritical.

You boss Lin is filming, who dares to talk about money with you.

Who wants to talk about money with you?

We have to talk about feelings.

Usually, how can I find such a good opportunity to make you, a big boss, owe you favors.

If a classic film is produced, I don't think many people will care so much about the salary. Wei Lai is very silly and naive.

Lin Dong and Rao Xiaozhi looked at each other and smiled, it is rare that there are such innocent people in the entertainment industry.

Well, it can also be said to be stupid.

The salary doesn't matter. I look for Mao Factory to invest. There is no limit on the cost, but it can't go too far. Now there is no such thing as sky-high salary for the movies invested by Mao Factory.

This is probably the legendary me looking for myself.

It's just that others don't know that, for Boss Lin, finding a cat factory means that the system has invested.

Wei Lai was dizzy again.

Only then did I remember that Director Lin Dong signed a contract with Kleist's artist management department.

I don't know why he didn't set up his own family.

With his current box office appeal, he can become independent from the cat factory and open a studio, which can not only avoid taxes, but also save the company's share.

With so many artists in Maochang, resources will always be affected.

There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that Maochang mainly supports Yang Qiu now. Lin Dong, the former No. 1 brother of Maochang, can't get any good books at all, so he can only develop in the director's profession.

There are also rumors in the world that Lin Dong made two billion for Maochang's filming of Xin Shushan last time, and he only divided it between ten and twenty million.

So, no matter how bad you are in acting and directing, you are still not as good as the capital after all.

At this time, Wei looked at Lin Dong with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

Just like ordinary people who work from 9 to 5, they have to sympathize with the employees of large factories who have 996 blessings.

Ignorance is also a blessing.

Of course, Wei Lai is also a screenwriter.

He can write his script, and Lin Dong doesn't bother to change his script, after all, his script style fits the movie Lonely City.

But the real casting and shooting has nothing to do with him.

Lin Dong made this movie for fun.

No one can hinder his enjoyment.

And the second highest status in the crew must be Rao Xiaozhi.

The assistant director was very unlucky to be promoted by a big director who threw away the shopkeeper.

Having said that, Lin Dong, the hands-off shopkeeper, is not only throwing his hands away at the senior management of the cat factory, but also very irresponsible to Rao Xiaozhi, the deputy director.

Proper scumbag template.

Rao Xiaozhi gave up any integrity and lower limit in order to get the investment from the cat factory.

Lin Dong demanded that Fuhuadao must be authentic and high-quality, so he went to experts for various research and found factories for various customized forgings.

Lin Dong asked for real-time shooting. He spent a full month and a half in the desert of the Western Regions with more than a dozen heavy trucks and two construction teams to rebuild the appearance of the isolated city of Kucha.

Whatever Lin Dong asked, he did it one by one.

Some people may despise his dog-licking behavior, thinking that he is not as personal and upright as Wei Lai.

In fact, life is not easy.

Pursuing a dream is harder than living.

Behind those gorgeous successes and fame, all are full of blood and tears.

It's just that after becoming famous, people start to package their success and cover up some of the not-so-dignified things.

Rao Xiaozhi felt that he had neither murdered nor set fire, nor had he aided the evildoers. There was nothing shameful in working for capitalists, which was no different from working part-time.

In terms of casting, Rao Xiaozhi and Lin Dong referred to some of Wei Lai's proposals.

First of all, starring Hu Jun, Zhang Ju, Duan Yihong, Lin Dong.

This movie is not a one-man show.

The lens will not focus on a certain person.

Special starring Hu Zhe, Zhang Yan, Wu Feng, Yuan Hua, Yuan Biao, Wu Yue, Zhang Jin, Shi Xingwu and so on.

This, etc., really means a lot.

Dozens of action movie actors were hired for this play.

Wherever there are close-ups, it won't be nobody.

It was Rao Xiaozhi again, who was so tired of coordinating and arranging for someone to talk.

In order to invite these actors, Lin Dong did not use his own influence, but actually negotiated the remuneration, as much as he should give.

Make it all clear.

If you don't take it, others will not take it.

Many action actors are almost out of food.

It's rare to get a job, and it will take at least two or three months. If you can't get the money, what will you eat.

You are a big star, you are not short of money, you have to consider other people.

Moreover, whether you are a leading actor or a special star, you have to waste a lot of time on this film.

Hu Zhe took the money first.

He played a special role, and the scene could be filmed in about a week, and he was given 1.6 million.

This is of course a friendly price.

After the Exquisite List, Hu Zhe's net worth also increased a lot.

Wu Feng took 1.5 million.

For him now, this is already a low price.

If Special Wolf Warrior 2 is released in a few days, then this price will really be regarded as the price of cabbage.

Wu Feng's movies are worth more than Hu Zhe.

Hu Zhe is a TV cafe, and Wu Feng is a proper movie cafe.

The rest of the special cast are about the same price.

Even if there were very few scenes, Lin Dong gave a number upwards of one million.

This is also a friendship price.

It's just that the friendship with Hu Zhe and Wu Feng is different.

For some action movie actors, a movie may only cost hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, or tens of thousands.

If you can get more than one million yuan, this is also a friendly price.

They fought for half their lives, earning money with their lives, and they can't move anymore when they are old, and they still have families to take care of.

Lin Dong gave them a little more money, which was regarded as a relief for fellow action movie actors.

He is also an action actor, Jin Yiwei, Broken Army Robbery and so on, left a deep impression on the audience.

Lonely City will be filmed between mid-August and the end of October.

It took about two and a half months in total.

There is no budget for the production cost. Anyway, the restoration of the ancient city alone has already cost more than 20 million yuan.

After all, it must be over 100 million.

The preliminary work was all done by Rao Xiaozhi, Lin Dong would just go over and start filming when the time comes.

In fact, it doesn't matter if there is him or not, and the words directed by Rao Xiaozhi are actually unambiguous.
