Chapter 81 I know, but I can't say it!
As capital enters the market, artists' value begins to rise rapidly.
The Taishi Gong said thousands of years ago that 'The world is bustling for profit, and the world is bustling for profit'
The Chinese-speaking entertainment industry is so big, how many real performing artists are there?
Most artists are thinking about making money as soon as possible!
So, when these new film and television companies waving checks were established, they made movies without asking for scripts, but they wanted the most expensive!
I wish I could let the four Dans and Shuangbing appear in the same movie at the same time!
Of course, it is almost impossible to do this, because Sidans and Shuangbing have their own pursuits, and they really don’t lack money!
Then let’s settle for the second best, find some popular stars and popular artists.
Sometimes, you know that you are acting in a bad movie, but you still signed the crew agreement without hesitation. Why?
Not because of money!
The most obvious example is Huang Xiaoming and Yang Mi’s “He Yisheng Xiaomo”. Everyone knows that it is definitely a bad movie - it takes two months to complete it from the start of the filming to the release!
Chinese-style movie process!
In fact, in 2014, there have been clues in the entertainment industry with Chinese characteristics.
The highest bonus of a scientist is only 50,000 yuan, and the pay of an actor is always over 100 million yuan.
At present, the pay of major stars in a film in my country can account for more than 50% of the total investment, and even more so, the proportion is as high as 70%.
The actor, with a pay of hundreds of millions of yuan, made one bad work after another that made people sit in front of the screen so embarrassed that they want to sleep.
After all, why are actors’ pay so high?
From a micro-level analysis, the entertainment industry is now a producer-centered system, and investors spend money naturally “everyone has to listen to him!”
These investors generally come from coal mines, real estate, finance, the Internet and other fields. They don’t understand the rules of film and television creation, do not grasp scripts, do not understand creation, and recognize that popular actors are the simplest and most crude means.
For TV series, the actors are popular and the ratings are guaranteed. Even if the script is bad, fans will pay for their idols.
With fans paying for it, you will have influence and topicality, so that investors can receive returns quickly!
Investors have full capital and believe that using money is the easiest and most effective way to solve problems: the actors have no schedule, so they give more millions, and the squeezing out the schedule; the script is bad, so they give more money to the actors, and the ratings will be higher. It is they who have pushed up the actors' pay step by step.
From a macro perspective, the high pay for actors in the entertainment industry is just a microcosm of the economic problems of the entire China.
Only after my country's economic growth slows down, the real economy has developed slowly. Although the government vigorously calls for "mass entrepreneurship and innovation", it is an indisputable fact that the entrepreneurship rate is becoming increasingly low!
Entrepreneurship has entered a capital winter, but capital must find new exports, so a large amount of hot money has flocked to the film and television industry, speculating on IPs, internet celebrities, celebrities, and actors have high pay.
As far as Shen Lin knows, Alibaba spent 2.4 billion yuan to light last year!
No wonder Yu Dong said that those of us who make movies in traditional ways work for BaT!
When the audience enters the cinema, they either read the story or the face. The two must always be the same, otherwise who will spend that money in vain?
The film and television industry is a buyer's market, and there are so many films released in theaters. Why do audiences buy your movie tickets?
You want to talk about the plot?
Haha, you look!
How many domestic movies dare to claim that they are selling plots? The plots that are agreed upon are often eaten by dogs!
It’s better to buy popular actors. At least the appearance of popular actors is real, which has led to the popularity of popular actors and popular directors.
The entry of capital will help make the industry bigger and stronger, which is a good thing in itself.
However, capital has pushed up actor pay, but the actual production fee has not increased much, which will obviously squeeze out the resources of the film creation team.
As Hou Dada said: The cost of actors in "Crossing Guandong" can account for about 30% of the production cost, and now the cost of most actors may exceed 70%. The overall change in actor prices is really unscientific. It violates the rules of the entire industry and even from international to domestic creation.
Some movies cannot introduce high-quality creative teams, so they have to make shoddy and perfunctory things, and ultimately the quality of the movie is reduced.
Feng Xiaogang and Zhang Hanyu are both sensible people in the circle. Of course, they understand that such things are definitely not a good thing for the Chinese film exhibition, but they cannot say it out.
They are vested interests!
Shen Lin is also a vested stakeholder. The drama "Tian" has brought him more than 100 million US dollars in dividends!
You asked him to say no to capital, are you kidding?
Not to mention anything else, Zhang Hanyu starred in this "Operation Mekong", and Shen Lin paid him 10,000 yuan!
There is an absolute sky-high salary. Now only a few HK kings can get a price of more than 10,000 yuan. Shen Lin gave Zhang Hanyu such a high salary. Why?
Anyway, it’s not his own money. Besides, Zhang Hanyu is worth the price!
Not only did he offer Zhang Hanyu a price of 10,000 yuan, he also offered Huang Xuan a price of 80,000 yuan.
Many people may think it is a bit high, but in fact, compared with other film companies, Shen Linkai's price is much lower.
Huang Xuan’s current value is to act in a movie. If she is a single male lead, the starting price will be 110,000 yuan!
After all, Brother Xuan starred in two movies by Shen Lin, and his box office appeal is strong, and he is also an acting player!
I must say that although Brother Xuan was famous by Shen Lin, compared to Zhang Hanyu, he couldn't get on the job, right? Why is he so high in his salary?
...
Feng Xiaogang patted Zhang Hanyu on the shoulder: "Linzi's movie still has content, we cannot deny this!"
"Brother, he is so to you, why do you still say that?"
Zhang Hanyu felt a little confused about Feng Xiaogang. Some time ago, he even bribed the navy army to slander Shen Lin. This change was too fast!
"Yes, I'm really a bastard now. I can't get out of Taiwan with so many reporters, but we can't say that his movie is not good, especially this "Mekong River", which is a project led by the Ministry of Public Security, and you must act well!"
Feng Xiaogang is actually a very contradictory person. On the one hand, what he wants is art, and on the other hand, he desires the market!
Just like him, he even praised Zhang Yimou in public, but it is the same thing that every movie released by Zhang Yimou, Huayi's navy will bring a wave of rhythm!
So many people are very happy to compare him with Zhang Yimou. If you compare him with Guo Xiaosi, do you see if he will scold him?
The more you understand a person, the more you have to live a confused life.
Although the power of capital is strong, it also divides people. For example, Chen Lin, Feng Xiaogang, Zhou Xingchi, Xu Laoqi, and Wong Kar-wai are all the partners they choose and actors.
Of course they can jump out and accuse capital of disrupting the market, and then what?
Can't the country see it?
Why didn't they take action?
On the contrary, various reports are like "sky-high pay" and so on. Isn't it just that once it moves, the prosperity of the film market will be difficult to maintain!
