Chapter 624 Let go and do it!
"2000 million club rules? What's that?" the old man asked curiously.
Hu Yu explained with a smile, "The 2000 million club has an unspoken rule, that is, two members of the 2000 million club will not be invited to participate in the same movie at the same time. Generally speaking, there will only be one 2000 million member in a movie." Ten thousand club members!"
"Because if two members of the 2000 million club are invited at the same time, it will have a great impact on the production cost of the film. Of course, there is another reason, that is, the 2000 million club members all have the right to share dividends from the movie. For example, the 5.00% dividend of a movie will go to this Mr. 2000 million club. Once two members of the 2000 million club are invited at the same time, investors will hardly make much money. You know, some world-class Directors, such as Mr. Cameron, also have the right to pay dividends at the box office."
Hu Yu explained that, in fact, in Hollywood, only films with an investment cost of more than [-] million US dollars are eligible to become big-investment movies, and those with less than [-] million US dollars are not even eligible for large investment.
Especially in the era when Hu Yu's box office was exploding in his previous life, there were a large number of movies with an investment of over 2000 million US dollars. However, even if the investment exceeded [-] million US dollars, they would not invite two members of the [-] million club at the same time!
Many people say that Hollywood-style movies all have the same style, and they can become popular all over the world because of the good special effects in Hollywood!
In fact, this statement is correct. Hollywood movies use special effects to dominate the world. This is the case with "Avatar", "2012", and many movies.
It is because they spent the money on the key special effects that they became popular and won big box office!
Hollywood values special effects, Huaxia also values special effects, but they value star power even more!
In order to be able to invite a big-name star, their investors are willing to use [-]% or [-]% of the total investment budget to hire someone!
For this reason, in Hu Yu's previous life, the ZF even issued a regulation specifically restricting film remuneration.
That is, the star's remuneration cannot exceed [-]% of the total investment of a movie.
This rule, in the eyes of foreigners, is inconceivable, and even in the eyes of many Chinese movie fans, it is inconceivable.
But there is no way, this is the status quo of China's entertainment industry. Investors have raised the salaries of stars. In China, everyone is too superstitious about the star effect.
In Hu Yu's previous life, there was a very funny joke.
There is a director who shot a melody movie, and then this movie hired a lot of small fresh meat. Well, the salary of these small fresh meat is not low, which also leads to the total investment of this melody movie. Climbing up, and finally approaching [-] million!
However, the investors and the director were not worried about the movie's box office. Before the movie hit the shelves, they chanted the slogan of guaranteeing a minimum of [-] million yuan, full of confidence!
However, the facts have proved that the eyes of movie fans are discerning. Although the box office of this movie is high, it is far from the level of guarantee of [-] million, and even this movie can't pay back!
Then, the director became anxious. In order to get the box office, he even said in an interview, "I can't help it. We have to give young actors some opportunities, don't we?"
It can be said that for the box office, the director's IQ is infinitely close to zero, or in other words, it is a negative number, or in other words, he is playing normal people like monkeys!
The reason is very simple. It is right to give young actors a chance, but is it necessary to give these young actors who are extremely well paid and have terrible acting skills a chance?
You can give those real young actors a chance, not the young ones.
So, the director's argument doesn't hold water.
Then, another director was crying, saying that the salary of a certain actress was too high, and he had to calculate the salary from the moment he left the house. He had no choice but to cut out the pictures!
In this regard, the general public can only say hehe, since you know that her salary is too high, why invite her.
For this director, I can only say four words, it's my own fault.
After listening to Hu Yu's words, the old man suddenly realized.
"Then how much do you think the star's salary should be controlled within?" the old man asked with great interest.
"Personally, I think that if star remuneration accounts for less than [-]% of the total investment, then the crew is healthy. The smaller the proportion, the healthier it is!"
"However, now that Chinese stars' remuneration has been fired, it is extremely difficult to set it below 40.00%. In my opinion, it can be set below [-]%. Then, we will slowly raise the standard, and finally adjust Up to [-]% is enough." Hu Yu thought for a while and replied.
"Forty percent? Well, I see."
The old man nodded, indicating that he understood.
At this time, the two came to a gazebo.
"Come on, come and sit here."
"Little Hu, tell me, what else does Huaxia need to do if we want to go to the world, or do you have any suggestions?" The old man continued to ask.
It can be seen that the old man admires Hu Yu very much, otherwise, there is no need for him to ask Hu Yu.
"This..." Hearing what the old man said, Hu Yu suddenly became entangled.
"Come on, it's okay, there are only a few of us here, there's no need to procrastinate like this, I'll take care of it for you!"
Hearing what the old man said, Hu Yu gritted his teeth and said, "Actually, there is one more thing!"
"Oh? Let's hear it." The old man said with a smile.
"Actually, film culture emphasizes that a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. Many excellent works have been cut off."
"In this regard, the United States is doing very well. They even dare to make a movie like the capture of the White House..."
Hu Yu did not continue.
Many people are complaining about the lack of movies in China, and complaining that China has no real good commercial blockbusters.
This is also impossible
The old man didn't speak, but looked at Xie Zicheng behind him.
Seeing the old man's gaze, Xie Zicheng knew that the old man was asking himself whether what Hu Yu said was true.
Xie Zicheng could only nod his head and said, "Not bad!"
The old man nodded and said with a smile: "Haha, it's very meaningful to have dinner with you little guy tonight."
The old man smiled happily.
"Oh, by the way, I heard that you recently accepted a TV series called "In the Name of the People". Can you tell me about this TV series?" The old man's voice changed, and Hu Yu himself was involved.
Hu Yu said: "Of course, this TV series is specially produced by me at the invitation of the Supreme Procuratorate. This TV series is about..."
Hu Yu told the old man the general plot of "In the Name of the People" for about 10 minutes.
And the old man was also listening carefully, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two in the middle.
However, most of the time, it was Hu Yu who was talking and the old man was listening.
I have to admit that the old man is a good listener.
"Yes, your TV series is very good, very good!" After Hu Yu finished talking about the plot, the old man applauded and said with a smile.
"We in Huaxia lack a director who dares to shoot like you. I am very optimistic about this TV series!"
"Little guy, let go and do everything. I will be behind you in everything!" The old man patted Hu Yu's shoulder and said seriously.
Hearing the old man's words, Hu Yu was suddenly excited.
To him, the old man's words were like a gold medal for avoiding death.
With this gold medal, who else would dare to target him?Who else would dare to cut his "In the Name of the People"?
This time coming here, Hu Yu has made a lot of money, at least, he thinks so.
"Now we need such a TV series!" The old man continued.
Hu Yu heard this and dared not speak.
This is already a sensitive topic, and he is too embarrassed to answer (well, the author is afraid of being banned).
"By the way, you just said that Lao Mei really made a movie about capturing the White House?" the old man asked suddenly.
Hu Yu nodded, and replied: "That's right, and there are more than one, not only the one that captured the White House, but also the one that captured London, and the one that captured space."
Hearing this, the old man did not speak, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, "You are right, film culture should let a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend."
"By the way, little guy, do you have any intention to shoot a similar movie?" The old man asked suddenly.
"What?"
Hu Yu was stunned, he couldn't believe his ears.
The old man said again.
This time, Hu Yu heard it.
He felt a great surprise surprise himself.
In fact, Hu Yu has long had the idea of making this kind of commercial blockbuster, but it is almost impossible to achieve in China.
But now, it's possible!
Hu Yu seemed to see "Air Force One" beckoning!
That's right, the movie Hu Yu wants to shoot now is "Air Force One"!
"Yes!" Hu Yu said firmly.
"That's good, let's do it!" The old man patted Hu Yu's shoulder and said.
This was the second time he patted Hu Yu on the shoulder, and it was also the second time he asked Hu Yu to let go!
