The bard joins the entertainment industry

The box office revenue sharing ratio of domestic films is established, with producers accounting for 38% and theaters sharing the rest.

When "Hero" was released last year, Zhang Weiping proposed to increase the share ratio to 40%.

At that time, a major theater chain in the Imperial City was not satisfied with this ratio and had not signed a contract. In the end, one of the film producers, China Film Company, forced its intervention to resolve the conflict.

This year "House of Flying Daggers" is about to be released, and Zhang Weiping requested that the share ratio be increased to 41%.

The share ratio is almost 43% for Hollywood blockbusters.

As a result, some theaters such as Imperial City and Magic City believe that the ratio is unreasonable and have not yet signed a contract with the film studio to promote publicity. "House of Flying Daggers" has reproduced the deadlock encountered by the release of "Heroes" last year.

In response to the dissatisfaction of some theater companies, Zhang Weiping said angrily: "We encountered such pressure when we released "Hero" last year, but we withstood it.

Some theater chains in Shanghai thought our share ratio was high, but we later solved the problem.

This year our ratio is also very reasonable!

We invested 290 million yuan, and invested more than 20 million yuan in promotion. The number of copies was as high as more than 360, more than 50 more than "Heroes", and the cost of copying was more than 4 million yuan.

For the film "House of Flying Daggers", we were faced with the temptation of copyright from the audio and video companies every day and did not let it be released simultaneously with the film, so we also lost a lot of revenue.

We bear the dual risks of investment and distribution, while the theater chain bears nothing and often omits and conceals reports.

But their share ratio is still higher than that of the film studio! It’s time to change the rules under this planned economic system! "

Of course, the negative attitude of theater companies will definitely have some impact on the box office.

However, Zhang Weiping did not give in: "Whoever is dissatisfied can give up the release, I will never give in!

I won't lose anything at all, because the box office of the film shown in 10 theater lines and 5 theater lines is actually the same.

Last year we tried to show it in two theaters, and the audience was full, but when it was shown in 10 theaters, there were empty seats. "

There is more than one theater chain, and some people are stubborn and unwilling to give in, but some people think it doesn't matter.

If you don't release it, then I will. With Zhang Yimou's name and the quality praised by Cannes, even if the theaters only take 41%, they will still make money.

Therefore, after a period of stalemate, when the first theater chain compromised, it represented Zhang Weiping's victory.

Regardless of other aspects, all film production companies have to thank Zhang Weiping in terms of sharing between the film studio and the theater chain.

Therefore, there are many filmmakers and film companies supporting Zhang Weiping in the media and on the Internet.

Even those who don't show their support will never go against him.

In Gunma County, Japan, amidst the buzzing of the motor and the friction of the tires, Chen Shuo smoothly controlled the car and made a complete drift on the track.

Then he suddenly swung the car and parked it firmly in the parking space.

"Bah bang bang~" Zhou Ting clapped approvingly and said, "It's unbelievable. I didn't expect you to be able to complete the entire track so easily in just a few days.

I think when the filming officially starts, you can go into battle in person. "

After several days of training, Chen Shuo was able to master the drifting technique.

Of course, in just a few days, it is impossible to pursue any ultimate speed.

His drift is more about looking good than speed.

The performance effect is greater than the actual application effect.

Chen Shuo unbuckled his seat belt and said, "Brother Zhou taught me this."

"It's really a pity that you have such a talent." Zhou Ting also took off his seat belt and said with a regretful expression: "If you choose to be a racing driver, you will definitely be very good.

But when you have time in the future, you can also participate in more events. "

"Let's talk about it later." Chen Shuo said noncommittally.

After this movie is released, he may actually gain a talent for racing.

But he still has talents in acting, singing, songwriting, etc. He just has to find his main career and just dabble in other things.

No matter how extraordinary he is, he cannot cover everything, he must always focus on something.

After the two got off the car, Liu Weiqiang, Zhou Jielun and others gathered around and praised them again.

After these few days of getting along, everyone's relationship has become much more harmonious.

Especially Chen Shuo and Zhou Jielun, one likes racing, the other is talented in racing, and they are both singer-songwriters. Due to the same-sex attraction, their relationship has progressed rapidly.

"Oh, that's good. I admit, he is indeed a little better than me in racing." Zhou Jielun patted Chen Shuo on the shoulder with his toes and stretched out his little finger to make a small gesture.

In the entire entertainment industry, there are many people who can easily pat Chen Shuo on the shoulder, but Zhou Jielun is not included.

Most people could only pat him on the arm.

If you want to forcefully tap him on the shoulder, you can only stand on tiptoes like Zhou Jielun, which is slightly funny.

However, even if it was a bit funny, Zhou Jielun, who was not willing to be outdone, would forcefully pat him on the shoulder every time.

Chen Shuo patted his shoulder easily and said, "Xiao Zhou, you're not good enough yet, you still have to practice."

Zhou Jielun was speechless for a while, and after holding it in for a long time, he let out a sigh of relief: "Fuck!!"

Liu Weiqiang ignored the two people's banter and asked, "When will you leave?"

"Leave today, prepare for the day tomorrow, and start the day after tomorrow."

It's already the 29th, and there are only two days until the concert on July 1. If he doesn't leave, he will really have to take the stage temporarily.

Liu Weiqiang nodded and blessed: "With your current level, you really don't need to practice. I wish you a great success in your concert!"

"grateful!"

Chen Shuo returned to the hotel, packed his things and said goodbye to everyone, and took the crew's car to Tokyo to catch a plane.

The evening flight got off the bus at the Imperial Capital Airport before dawn. He Zhengyang sent someone to wait for him at the airport early.

Liu Xiaoli originally wanted to pick him up, but he saw that the disembarkation time was around four o'clock, so he kept her from coming until midnight.

After getting on the bus, I didn’t go home and went directly to Beijing.

When he arrived at the company, He Zhengyang also arrived with a yawn on his face.

It was barely five o'clock at this time.

Unlike other companies, Jingwen is staffed around the clock.

After all, many people in the company often record songs and get off work on creations all night long. If they really get off work on time and interrupt their creative ideas, it will make people crazy.

After meeting, while eating breakfast, Chen Shuo asked: "How is the situation?"

He Zhengyang took a bite of the pancake fruit and said: "Everything is ready. If the Beijing Sports Center cannot be used, we will choose the Olympic Sports Center.

It can hold 6,000 people. If you include the extra space in the venue, it can reach about 10,000 people. It is considered a relatively large place.

Of course, it is far from comparable to Beijing Sports. "

The Beijing Sports Center can accommodate 18,000 people, but it was booked early by Zhang Weiping as the venue for the premiere of "House of Flying Daggers".

In order to host this premiere in the imperial capital, he directly had a peony shop rebuilt inside, and the entire place was renovated in the style of "Ambush".

Preparations are now in full swing and it is expected to be completed in a few days.

Chen Shuo finished eating the pancakes and fruits in his hand, added another xiaolongbao, and asked: "It would be nice to have a place. How are the ticket sales?"

"Does that need to be said? It was all booked as soon as it went online. Many people can't buy tickets and are asking for tickets online."

Chen Shuo stopped his chopsticks and asked, "Were all our tickets taken away by scalpers?"

"No, we have limited purchase. One person can only buy one ticket. When picking up the ticket, you need to show your ID card. If you cannot provide your ID card, we will not give you a ticket.

Although scalpers cannot be eliminated, they can at least limit the hoarding of tickets by scalpers to the greatest extent.

Of course, if they can really find so many people and so many ID cards, there is nothing we can do. "

"That's fine. We can only do this to this extent at this stage."

"Don't worry, the company still attaches great importance to your first concert.

It is expected that many people will be unable to buy tickets and stay outside the venue. We have also applied for assistance from the relevant departments to ensure the safety of those fans. "

"That's good. Who do you invite as the resident singer?"

"Teacher Han Hong will come out to sing a song, and others including Zhou Xiaoou, newly signed Daolang, Teacher Cheng Ming, and soon-to-be signed Ke Yimin will be there.

Of course, it goes without saying that Sissi, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and others from Zhou Yi will also be present.

I contacted Ms. Shan yesterday and said she would arrive today. "

"Based on this, the number of people is already quite large."

“Yes, a concert only lasts two or three hours, and each song lasts four to five minutes, so we can only sing about 30 songs in total.

Most of them require you to play, after all, the audience is coming for you.

Except for Sissi, the main role of the others is to warm up the scene for you so that you have time to rest and change clothes. "

Although Chen Shuo currently has two albums and twenty well-known songs.

But it's more than enough for a concert.

Besides, he doesn’t have to sing his own song. For example, if Han Hong comes to help out, it’s perfectly fine for him to sing the other party’s song in return.

In this way, there are more choices.

After finishing the meal soon, it was already dawn, He Zhengyang said: "Let's go directly to the scene to prepare. Others will come over today to rehearse."

"Okay, let's go." Chen Shuo stood up and followed him to the Olympic Sports Center.

Seeing that the preparations here were almost complete, a huge truss was built on the north side of the football field to hang lights, speakers and other things.

There is a no-sale area at the back, and some seats can only be used as backstage because the stage cannot be seen.

In front of the entire stage, the football field was divided into various areas and filled with chairs.

The seats on the court belong to the VIP area, and the seats in the stands belong to the general area.

At the same time, each area will be subdivided into supreme, VIP, guest, front area, back area, etc.

This is also a common practice at concerts or premieres. The ones closer to the front are more expensive, and the ones further away are cheaper.

Chen Shuo is now well-known, but after all, he is still a newcomer who has only been in the industry for a few years. The most expensive ticket is only 666 yuan, while the cheapest is 50 yuan.

Equivalent to the price of a record.

In the end, on average, each seat is equivalent to about 200 yuan, and the ticket price of a concert is nearly 2 million.

There are also various advertising, sponsorship fees, and weekly product sales.

Chen Shuo's concert will eventually generate a total revenue of nearly 5 million.

Just his two endorsements, Porsche and Xizhilang, have sponsored nearly one million.

The reason why he is so generous is because he has few endorsements.

Especially Xizhilang, as Chen Shuo's fame grows, the more they earn.

The most important thing is that Chen Shuo, Liu Yifei and others really like their products and eat them.

This is more effective than any advertising slogan.

While Chen Shuo was watching the venue, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli, and Huang Ying also rushed over.

"The venue is so big!" Liu Yifei stood on the stage, looking at the seats around her, and couldn't help but feel a little small.

Chen Shuo stood beside her and said, "Get used to it later. When the lights are turned on at night and the seats are filled with people, you will feel even more shocked."

Liu Yifei thought about the crowd of people in front of her, and couldn't help but said: "When you say that, why do I feel even more afraid to play?"

"It doesn't matter, I'll accompany you in the first game."

"Aren't you excited?"

"Of course I'm excited, this is my concert!"

"Then why do you feel like you don't feel anything?"

"Are you okay? You have to be calmer." Chen Shuo said and couldn't help but think of his dream.

In my dream, I have seen scenes of congratulations from hundreds of officials and Star Wars. A concert with only ten thousand people should be fine, right?

What's more, during the original book signings, there were several scenes where more than ten thousand people gathered. Although the concerts will be different, the feeling should be similar.

The lighting effect cannot be seen during the day, but the sound can be tested.

After chatting with Liu Yifei for a while, He Zhengyang asked the two of them to try out the speakers separately.

Chen Shuo's voice has strong penetration and diffusion power, and with the support of speakers, it can roar throughout the venue.

However, Liu Yifei is not as powerful as him, and many of the other supporting singers cannot compare with him.

Liu Yifei's audition can also have the effect of helping others audition.

Since the concert will only start tomorrow night, everyone is quite busy, except for Zhou Xiaoou, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi and others who came earlier.

People like Cheng Ming, Ke Yimin, Han Hong and others will wait until tomorrow.

At noon, Jiang Xuerou and Shan Xiaolou came with Yang Junyi, Yu Bo, Zhang Jin, Shu Chang, Yang Guang, Yang Rong, Liu Yang and others.

It can be said that the entire performing arts department of the company came out to support his first concert.

Among them, Yu Bo, Yang Junyi, Shu Chang, and Yang Guang are the guest singers. Zhang Jin, Yang Rong, and Liu Yang are not well-known yet. In addition to helping, they also want to take this opportunity to show their faces.

Like them, there are those from Jingwen.

At the beginning of this year, several new singers trained by He Zhengyang made their debut one after another. Although the response was not as great as that of Chen Shuo, with sales of hundreds of thousands, they have established a firm foothold.

You must know that some singers who have been famous for a long time cannot always sell more than them.
