Amou is a director who knows what he wants.

In the original time and space, when promoting "The Great Wall", I once criticized film critics: "There are always people who say that we should make some profound works, but you don't even think about it, can profound works be released?"

During the filming of "Alive", I tried my best, but still failed to pass the review...

Yu Hua once said: 'At that time, Lao Mouzi said that some details in the original work needed to be changed in order to pass the review. Seeing how confident he was, I thought he understood the review so well and I admired him very much.'

Of course, after the filming of "Alive" was completed, the movie still failed to pass the review.

Moreover, Ah Mou said that he had a premonition that it would not pass the review.

"When it was first filmed, I had a hunch that it might not pass, so I wanted everyone to have a sneak peek. I broke a rule - films that were not originally submitted for review are not allowed to be shown publicly. I screened one at BJ as an internal observation. In fact,

Many people from the literary and art circles came, more than 1,000 people."

He also said: 'In every country, as long as there are movies like "Alive", they are great.

"Alive" covers a large span. In the large political context, a person is like a leaf in the ocean, unable to control his own destiny at all, which is very helpless.

China has the most such themes, because it is most difficult for Chinese people to decide their own destiny in the past few decades, so we can make many movies like "Alive"... but it will be difficult to pass."

It’s not that people don’t know what a good movie is, it’s hard to pass!

The attitude is very humble.

The same thing happened when I was promoting "Burning". Whenever I mentioned class or something, I would just ignore it.

"The original work was written by Haruki Murakami, with a Japanese background. We retained these characteristics when adapting it..."

"When adapting it, I not only referenced "The Barn Burning" but also William Faulkner's "The Barn Burning"..."

"'Kill That SJZ Man' was recommended to me by Chang Lin. He said that this song is suitable for this movie!"

"The play "Burning" was recommended to me by Chang Lin. He originally planned to direct it himself, but when he was about to form a crew, he found that he really couldn't spare the time... He had four or five projects on his hands!"

"Peng Yuchang and Zhang Xincheng were also recommended by him. We met a bunch of actors before, but none of them were suitable, but they are completely qualified in terms of image and acting skills..."

"Xiao Xian Rou... I don't know much about it. Does it mean Butter Xiao Sheng?"

The reporter explained: "They are even more powerful than Butterboy. They have a lot of fans and are recognized by the capital. Each of them gets a high salary!"

"High salary? How high can it be?"

"It's tens of millions, accounting for more than half of the production budget!"

"This is abnormal!" Ah Mou thought for a moment and said, "Since Xiaoxianrou thinks he can bring high profits, why not learn from Hollywood's approach?"

"Hollywood approach?"

"Yes," Ah Mou continued: "If you think you can bring profits, then don't take so much remuneration and just split the profits!"

…

Of course, Ah Mou’s words became a hot topic...

Netizens discussed it hotly and thought it was a good plan.

Then what?

Useless!

Even if Xiao Xianrou wants to bet on whether his popularity can be converted into box office revenue, the management team is not willing to bet!

The reason is simple: why take risks when you can get a high salary directly?

As for the producer…

If you don’t give me a high salary, there are plenty of other producers who are willing to throw money at me!

Very embarrassing.

It’s a seller’s market right now…

Fresh meat with a selling point is a scarce commodity, so everyone is vying to spend money on it!

However, Zhao Shan took advantage of the situation and posted a Weibo post. It is not actually Weibo. It is part of the actor contract of Naza and Yang Yang in "Wolf Warrior 2". A special red line marked the remuneration of both of them at 1.5 million + 8%. Box office dividends!

Rouba's new movie "Introduction to Architecture" also adopts the same basic salary + box office share model.

Including the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series, the three leading actors basically receive 5 million + 5% dividends...

Although he didn’t say anything, he was supporting Ah Mou with actions!

Shen Changlin also expressed his opinion: "There is considerable uncertainty in choosing box office dividends. Only actors with great strength and box office appeal will adopt such a form.

Many big-name actors in Hollywood will require a certain amount of remuneration + box office share, which also ties the quality of the work to their performance.

Many domestic actors such as Huang Bo, Bao Qiang, Wu Jing, Deng Chao, etc. have also adopted this method. However, it is difficult for domestic Xiaoxianrou to guarantee the quality of the film and the box office, and this method is slower to return money. Xiaoxianrou Their shelf life is very short, and they must make money as much as possible within the shelf life. They generally will not do this kind of long-term business. This incident also proves that most of the low-profile celebrities have never regarded actors as a profession, but only use them to make money. , it’s just a means of monetizing traffic!”

Then, of course, it sparked a lot of discussion.

Shen Changlin came out to criticize Xiaoxianrou again...

It’s not just to take advantage of the heat,

After all, Marvel's masterpiece "Doctor Strange" will be released on November 4th, which can be regarded as adding a little bit more to "Burning"...

Of course, the effect is not good.

These days, Marvel's single-player movies, no matter how many times they are stretched, the box office of 800 million is still relatively stable.

"Dr. Strange Arts" took in 94 million at the box office on the first day it was released, 140 million the next day, 96 million on the third day, and the first weekend box office exceeded 300 million!

The box office of "Burning" in the second week was 249 million. After ten days of release, the cumulative box office was close to 400 million...

However, the company's distribution department continues to promote it, and it is bound to exceed 600 million!

No matter what, it can't be worse than "I'm Not Pan Jinlian"...

…

Maybe Ah Mou never meant to compare with pants from the beginning.

The company doesn't think it's necessary either.

Because... I never thought about going beyond "I'm Not Pan Jinlian".

"I'm Not Pan Jinlian" Sparkle Roll will be released with a guaranteed release of 500 million, and according to the signed contract, if the box office is less than 500 million, Sparkle Roll will pay 200 million;

The net income from the box office of RMB 500 million to RMB 800 million will be exclusively enjoyed by Sparkle Roll. For the box office exceeding RMB 800 million, Sparkle Roll will receive 50% of the net income from the box office...

No one is doing charity, which shows that Yao Lai believes that the filming cost of "I am not Pan Jinlian" is at least between 500 million and 800 million!

That's right, Feng Pants + Liu Zhenyun + Fan Jiuyi.

Awesome lineup!

The 500 million guarantee is still considered low by many people.

The box office forecast for "Burning" is 200 million to 300 million, which is incomparable!

But now it's a foregone conclusion that "Burning" will break 500 million, so it would be good to work hard to make it break 600 million and suppress the arrogance of "I'm Not Pan Jinlian"!

As a result, a bunch of self-media started to publish articles again, comparing Ah Mou and Pants, and concluded that the so-called three major directors of Pants were completely marketed by Huayi.

——Pants started Chinese New Year movies, but it only achieved a good response in the market. Whether it is the depth or breadth of the work, there is a big gap between it and A Mou and Director Chen. The contribution of image style and image aesthetics is also not small. Not as good as the above two...

Baimeng book

Even counting the box office, Pants is completely weaker than Ah Mou!

Totally second level.
