This actor needs more money

The box office of Hero has been booming in the early stage, but started to weaken after the Children's Day holiday.

The box office was dwindling every day, and the old man couldn't sit still.

By the middle of the month, I was feeling so cold. Not only was there a lot of criticism online, but many media and newspapers were also criticizing me.

"What a rubbish movie. The storyline is too thin to sustain a 90-minute movie. It relies entirely on the characters."

"Changkong, Canjian, Feixue, the three of them have sacrificed so much, and in the end, Wuming didn't kill Qin Shihuang, but even got himself involved, hahaha, it's amazing, you are a pig teammate."

"It was quite exciting at the beginning. The scenes were big and the fighting scenes were pretty good. I didn't expect that at the end, Xiang was forced to be fed. Wuming and Ying Zheng debated about whether to kill or not to kill. It's up to you to pay for the tickets."

"The old man has exhausted his talents. This time he suffered a big loss. The investors didn't even get their capital back. Good actors like Liang Chaowei and Ding Xiu were blinded in vain."

The box office share ratio of a movie is not complicated.

The total box office is deducted from the special film development fund of 5% and the tax of 3.3%.

The remaining box office theaters and theater chains accounted for 57%, and producers and distributors accounted for 43%.

Assume that the total box office is 100 yuan, 5 yuan is paid to the state, and the sales tax is 3.3 yuan, leaving a balance of 91 yuan.

Of the 91 yuan, theater chains and theaters took 57%, which is 52 yuan, and the producers and distributors took 39 yuan.

The distributor gets less money than the producer. Generally speaking, the producer's share of the box office accounts for about 33% of the total box office.

This is why people say that the box office of a movie must be three times higher than the total investment to make back the original investment.

Hero invested 30 million U.S. dollars, and it took 90 million U.S. dollars, which is more than RMB 700 million in box office, to make back the money.

The mainland box office is 250 million. Although it exceeds last year's box office champion, if nothing else happens, it will also be this year's box office champion.

However, compared with the production cost of more than 30 million US dollars, it is obviously a waste.

No wonder the old man felt so cold in his heart.

Fortunately, the global box office is good. It has been released in North America for a while and the response has been very good. Japan and South Korea are not bad either.

It was released in Hong Kong Island and Bendong Province a few days ago. Judging from the box office on the first day, it is not a problem to cut tens of millions.

Lin Lin finally came to the conclusion that the film was not a loss, but these box office news did not reach the country. The media did not care about it and only knew about swearing and hearing about what was unpleasant.

Half a month later, Zhang Yimou invited the crew and starring actors to a dinner in the name of a celebration party, and also contacted a number of media to announce the global box office in a loud and clear manner.

"The mainland box office is 250 million, Hong Kong Island is 26 million, the province is 60 million, North America is 53 million US dollars, Japan is 4 billion yen, Italy... 4 million euros, Spain... …One and a half million euros…”

"The total global box office is US$17.7 billion, which is approximately RMB 1.4 billion!"

When the total box office of 1.4 billion was announced, veins appeared on the old man's neck, and his saliva almost hit the faces of media reporters.

He has been scolded a lot these days, and his eighteen generations of ancestors have been greeted countless times.

Many articles criticizing him were written by the media present today.

Now that he had a chance to slap him in the face, of course he couldn't let it go.

Is it a bad movie with a box office of 1.4 billion? I can qnmd! Which bad movie can have a box office of 1.4 billion? How many movies in the world have exceeded one billion?

You make a bad movie with a box office of 1.4 billion and show it to me?

"I'm done, do you have any questions?"

"Does anyone have a question?"

"No more? Let's break up then."

When turning around to leave, Zhang Yimou put his hands in his trouser pockets, raised his chest and raised his head, and his waist was straight.

The leading actors in the crew followed behind silently with smiles on their lips.

Ding Xiu, who was walking at the end, was wearing a suit and ties, smiling and waving hello to reporters.

When we arrived at another private room in the hotel, many people had gathered here, including the main staff of the film crew.

After everyone was seated, the waiter served the dishes. The old man poured himself a cup of Maotai and said to everyone:

"The success of Hero at the box office is indispensable because of everyone's contribution. I'll take the credit!"

"Director Zhang, you're welcome. It's all because of your good leadership. We're just doing some hard work."

"Hey, you can't say that. Without you, I wouldn't be able to make such a high-grossing movie by myself. I'll have another drink. This one is a tribute to everyone's hard work..."

People are in high spirits during happy events. The old man drank several glasses of wine one after another and distributed red envelopes to everyone. Ding Xiu also received one and took a look at it quietly. It was five hundred yuan.

After he was drunk, the old man narrowed his drunken eyes and said that he would invite everyone to film in the future.

No one took this seriously.

What was said at the wine table was said while drunk, so whoever believes it is a fool.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Mr. Lao left first, followed by Li Lianjie, Liang Chaowei and others.

The big names have all left, and there is no need for Ding Xiu to stay any longer.

After leaving the hotel, a silver Audi A6 parked slowly in front of me.

"Go home!" Ding Xiu said two words after getting in the car.

"Okay Brother Xiu." Jia Ling, the driver, responded.

After passing the college entrance examination, Ding Xiu forced her to take the driver's license test and is now an assistant part-time driver.

"Brother Xiu, if you are hungry, there are snacks in the back. I just bought them."

"I just got off the table. I'm very strong." He lowered the window and leaned on the edge of the window with one hand, supporting his temple. After a while, he said: "You should have received the admission notice. When will you go to the Central Theater?" ?”

"Early September." Jia Ling said without looking back while driving cautiously.

"so late?"

"I was admitted to the cross talk junior college class."

"Isn't it an undergraduate drama performance major?"

"Don't mention it. I was afraid of failing the exam before. I signed up for the cross talk class together, thinking I had an alternative. Unexpectedly, I passed the exam for both. China Theater called me and asked me to choose one of the two. Then my mother Choose a cross talk class for me."

While speaking, Jia Ling's lips were trembling, and tears were welling up in her eye sockets.

It brings tears to my eyes.

She happened to not be at home that day when the school called, and she was asked to choose, so the old mother chose cross talk on the spot.

Ding Xiu smiled: "The cross talk is also good. I think you are quite suitable. With your foodie nature, it is probably difficult to be an actor."

People who practice martial arts have large appetites and high nutritional needs. They have to eat a lot of meat every day.

One man got the idea of ​​chickens and dogs ascending to heaven, and Jia Ling followed him and ate a lot.

But she didn't like to exercise, so she couldn't digest it and turned it into fat.

No, I have gained more than 20 pounds in just a few months. It is visible to the naked eye, and my face has become rounder. The original prickly face has long been gone.

It is estimated that in a few months, my biological mother will not be able to recognize him.

"Brother Xiu, please don't rub salt into my wounds." Jia Ling said with a bitter face: "I'm afraid that after school starts, the teacher will say that I'm different from what I was during the art exam. I'm not who I am."

Laughing loudly, Ding Xiu took out the red envelope given by Zhang Yimou from his pocket and put it on the front passenger seat.

"Here's a gift for you, a school promotion gift."
