Chapter 880 Fail to Poach (1/3)
At the beginning of a new week, although the single-day box office of "Slaying the Wolf" dropped slightly, by Wednesday, the total box office had exceeded 100 million.
It only took 5 and a half days.
It may not be the fastest domestic movie to break over 100 million in box office, but just looking at the production cost of "Slaying the Wolf" is enough to shock countless people in the entertainment industry.
The production cost was less than 60 million Chinese yuan, of which Niu Hua's salary as a superstar, 15 million Chinese yuan, accounted for a quarter.
If it exceeds 100 million in five days, then there should be no big problem for "Slaying the Wolf"'s local box office to exceed 300 million. If you add in the box office of East Asia and Greater China, it will definitely hit the 1 billion box office.
Excluding the commissions and taxes from theaters in various countries, there is no problem that this movie’s box office revenue will exceed 400 million.
The production cost was 60 million yuan, and the income was as high as 400 million, a return on investment of more than eight times!
Such a high rate of return immediately made countless film companies jealous.
Talking about opening up a new action movie style and action shooting genre are all literal articles without such real profit data to attract people.
Sake makes people's faces red, money and silk touch their hearts.
Nothing is more attractive to film companies and investors than this direct revenue data.
Action movies, martial arts movies, kung fu movies!
We also want to make this kind of movie.
Therefore, within just a day or two, several film companies and some investors have decided to invest in action movies in the style of Oriental DreamWorks.
Although they don’t have this kind of talent on hand yet, they can poach people!
For a time, the martial artists, directors, and action actors of Oriental DreamWorks all became popular, and they received countless invitations, whether explicit or covert, to spend big bucks to film movies.
Several of the action stars are even more popular.
Whether it is Tony Leung, who has always been an action star, or Ji Feihong, who became famous with "Shaolin Temple", they have received a flurry of film shooting invitations. Even Song Hongbao, who has just signed a contract to join Oriental DreamWorks, has also received countless invitations.
invite.
In fact, if it weren't for Yang Ming's special status, he would not have been poached. It is estimated that the person those film companies most want to invite is Yang Ming himself.
But what disappointed them was that neither Liang Zhidan nor Ji Feihong was willing to dig, and even the fat man Song Hongbao, who had just emerged, was unwilling to come over.
Liang Zhidan couldn't poach him, but those film companies could still understand that Yang Ming and Yang Ming were in a kind of brother-in-law relationship. He was filming under his own junior brother, and his status was not low, so his junior brother wouldn't treat him badly. There was no need for him to risk his life for money.
He left Oriental DreamWorks due to the infamous split with his junior brother.
But Ji Feihong and Song Hongbao also refused, making it difficult for the film company to poach them.
Especially that fat man Song Hongbao, when he heard the invitation to poach people, he refused without hesitation without asking about their conditions. Damn, those film companies were suddenly severely hurt in their self-esteem.
Tell me, for a fat actor and a newcomer, apart from being able to perform a few tricks, what does he have to be proud of?
In the eyes of these poaching film companies, Song Hongbao, who is destined not to become a superstar, should be the best one to poach. As long as he is given a little more money, there will definitely be no big problem.
But they didn't expect that the one they thought they were the best at poaching would slap them in the face.
People refused to come.
He also said that he had never heard of "xxx Film Company" and asked them not to bother him again, otherwise they would call the police.
After hearing these words, those responsible persons who had contacted Song Hongbao to poach him almost didn't even come back.
Damn, they were despised by an ugly and fat man.
The progress on Ji Feihong's side was also very unsatisfactory. Oriental DreamWorks' sharp-tongued agent Zhu Da directly stepped forward to reject all invitations to poach on Ji Feihong's behalf.
With Sister Zhu guarding Ji Feihong closely, it can be said that the plan of these film companies to poach talents has completely failed.
Except for a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals, martial arts masters who were not from Wuji Hall, who were poached by these film companies, they got nothing from the others.
As for other companies wanting to poach people, Yang Ming knew it right away, but he didn't worry too much. It can be said that the martial arts team of Oriental DreamWorks was basically built by him, and with the addition of Wuji Pavilion
This dual relationship cannot be exploited by other film companies.
And those people have no idea what their senior brother Liang Zhidan wants?
Money has never been the senior brother's pursuit. If it was martial arts, Yang Ming knew that martial arts might have been his senior brother's pursuit.
But when Liang Zhidan had mastered martial arts to a certain extent, the next road could not be broken through diligent practice, so the senior brother put his mind on other aspects.
After contacting Yang Ming, his thoughts became even stronger.
That is to become famous, use his fame, and then spread the martial arts of Wuji Hall to every corner of the world. Therefore, first of all, he must become a Kung Fu superstar that is respected by thousands of people.
And Yang Ming's demonic talent in movies was enough to convince Steve Leung that his junior brother could definitely help him realize this dream.
Because, their dreams are the same.
Not to mention Ji Feihong, as a child from an orthodox martial arts family, Ji Feihong has the character of a traditional martial artist who keeps his word and promises.
For him to abandon Yang Ming for money is simply a challenge to his morality.
How can movie companies who want to poach people succeed?
Yang Ming couldn't help but laugh a little when he thought of this. If those film companies knew how they met Ji Feihong at that time, they probably wouldn't have any thoughts of poaching.
However, the film company that is now trying to poach people without success has somehow learned that Mr. Hong Su sent a few of his men to Oriental DreamWorks to learn the shooting techniques and methods of new action movies.
After getting this news, those film companies shamelessly contacted Oriental DreamWorks through various connections. Can they also send people to study?
Even Mr. Hong Su called and asked about this possibility?
To be honest, Mr. Hong Su was a little embarrassed to make this call. To be more serious, this is the commercial secret of Oriental DreamWorks. After all, other film companies are not yet capable of making this kind of new kung fu movie. So what are the actions of Oriental DreamWorks?
The movie is about a scorpion pooping, the only one!
In this situation, if Yang Ming is kind enough to ask other film companies to hire people to learn how to shoot new action movies, wouldn't that be equivalent to Yang Ming taking money from his own pocket and spreading it out?
After Mr. Hong Su said his surprise, he even felt his face, which had not blushed for many years, become hot. Finally he said: "Yang Ming, actually I just made a call at their request. It doesn't matter whether you agree or not. Don't
over thinking."
Yang Ming smiled lightly when he heard this and said that he understood. Then the two chatted for a while and then hung up the phone.
Thinking of this matter, his face couldn't help but become serious. Naturally, he would not be so kind. Anyone can go to Oriental DreamWorks to learn how to shoot action movies.
But this is a great opportunity to confirm Oriental DreamWorks' status in the entertainment industry and compete for the right to speak.
