Chapter 47 Salute to Me!
After recording "Happy Camp", Lin Feng went back to filming "The Journey of Flower". After all, this is his main job.
During this period, Zhang Jing also helped Lin Feng to officially finalize the cooperation on the two films "Charlotte's Troubles" and "Detective Chinatown".
The crew of "Charlotte's Troubles" did not hesitate at all. When they first heard that Lin Feng, such a popular star, took the initiative to participate in the show, they couldn't believe it.
Low budget, poor crew, this is simply "pie in the sky"! He agreed to cooperate on the spot, and was afraid that Lin Feng would regret it.
As for the salary, it was easier to say. The "Happy Trouble" team agreed to pay 800 million yuan on the spot.
Although the entire movie "Charlotte's Troubles" only cost 2100 million to produce, the total salary of Shen Teng, Ma Li and other actors was only 500 million.
But they still dared to pay Lin Feng 800 million yuan in salary, mainly because the crew was not short of money at all. When they confirmed that Lin Feng would join,
New Classics Media, the investor behind "Happy Trouble", directly added 2000 million, and other sponsors of the previous film took another 1000 million.
Even the queen Nayoung is considering making a cameo appearance in the movie in real life.
What is a superstar? This is a superstar!
Not only does she have the ability to carry a drama, she also has the ability to bring in goods. Her name alone can directly bring 3000 million in revenue to the crew.
The most important thing is that he doesn't want the 800 million yuan salary, which means he doesn't want to add burden to the crew, and he is only willing to take 10% of the box office share.
What a great communist spirit!
It's great, but I just hope that when the box office of "Charlotte's Troubles" really reaches 15 billion, the salary can be paid more readily.
If we calculate based on the box office of 15 billion, apart from the 52% share of the cinema chain, there are also other shares such as the film special development fund and business tax, which are about 8%.
The producer's share of the box office is about 40%, minus the 5% to 10% share of the distributor, the producer's final box office revenue is generally around 35%.
最理想状态下,林锋这10%的票房分成是:15亿*35%*10%=5250万,
Why take 5250 million when you can get 800 million?

As for the crew of "Detective Chinatown", Chen Sicheng was a little hesitant at first:
On the one hand, he still prefers his own artist Liu Haoran, and he has been training him for many years. When he was filming the movie "Beijing Love Story", he had already started preparing for him.
On the other hand, he was afraid that the acting skills of the newcomer Lin Feng would not be able to hold up, and Lin Feng's asking price would definitely be much higher than Liu Haoran's.
Before the sponsor Wanda Cinema came forward, Chen Sicheng changed his mind under the persuasion of his wife Tong Liya.
"You don't know how popular Lin Feng is now. Little girls and girls all over the world are crazy about him and talking about him.
As for his acting skills, you can watch the two dramas he is currently acting in. His acting skills cannot be said to be on par with those of veteran actors.
But he is definitely better than the current young handsome guys, not to mention Liu Haoran. As for Liu Haoran, it won’t be too late to train him later when you become successful.
As for the film remuneration, didn’t they say we can split the profits? Then we can give him a share, and this way we can also pass the risk to him.”
Behind every successful man there is a woman, and now the "sugar daddy" has also come forward, "Lin Feng is better", there is nothing to hesitate about.
Of course, "Detective Chinatown Detective" is not comparable to "Charlotte's Troubles". After all, it is a big production with an investment of nearly 500 million yuan. In the end, Lin Feng's salary was 5 million basic salary + 10% box office share. Originally, Lin Feng wanted to change it to % box office share.
But Chen Sicheng disagreed. He was very confident in the movie "Detective Chinatown 4", and with the support of Wanda Cinemas, the box office could exceed million yuan of "Beijing Love Story".
If Lin Feng's 500 million yuan salary was exchanged for 5% of the box office share, Chen Sicheng would really be at a loss.
But this is also good. The box office of "Detective Chinatown" seems to have exceeded 8 million, so Lin Feng's salary can reach million.
You should know that when Liu Haoran starred in "Detective Chinatown" that year, his salary was only 1 yuan, which was not as high as that of a guest actor.
Lin Feng's previously agreed salary for "Mr. Six" was only 600 million, not to mention profit sharing, not even a penny was given up, which was lower than his previous salary for "Charlotte's Troubles".
There is no way the market is what it is. Who says they are Huayi? Who says they are a big producer? Who says they have Guan Hu and Feng Xiaogang?
Although Lin Feng is very popular, he has never truly proven his box office appeal, so his pay will definitely be reduced.
However, Lin Feng got these movies without even auditioning. It seems that just because he is popular he still has the right to choose.
These three films basically took up Lin Feng’s time for the next year. Mr. Six started filming at the end of November 2014 and ended around the end of January 11.
The filming of "Charlotte's Troubles" was in February 2015. The role was not very long, so we could concentrate on the filming. Lin Feng only gave 2 days of schedule.
The filming of "Detective Chinatown" is from March to May 2015, and it also requires a trip to Thailand for filming.
After the filming of these movies is completed, Lin Feng will prepare to start filming "Descendants of the Sun", which he wrote himself.
So during the break in filming of The Journey of Flower, Lin Feng started polishing the script of Descendants of the Sun.
Lin Feng has already regarded "Descendants of the Sun" as his last TV series, so he is very concerned about it.
In fact, the boundaries between movies and TV series will be very blurred in the future. Many movie stars will also shoot TV series, and those who act in TV series will become internet celebrities, and internet celebrities will become actors. The end of the universe is still live streaming with goods!
But for Lin Feng, the income from acting in movies is far greater than that from acting in TV series.
First, the movie has a big reputation. After all, the movie is only two or three hours long at most, while the TV series is 40 or 50 episodes long. The artistic level is definitely not the same.
Second, TV dramas have an upper limit, while movies have high risks but unlimited returns, and Lin Feng’s biggest advantage is that he can avoid risks.
Lin Feng also put a lot of effort into it. He has racked his brains to include all the storylines he can think of. The specific plot will be reviewed by Wang Juan, a professional screenwriter, when the time comes.
Especially for the bad ending of "Descendants of the Sun", Lin Feng added a lot of his own understanding.
For example, add some "evacuation" plot, a beautiful war correspondent, a growing male diplomat, and rescue trapped compatriots, etc.
There are also dragon commandos, snipers, and masked villains.
As well as famous scenes such as "Holding the red flag with the arm as a flagpole", "Russian roulette pistol gambling", "Wearing the mask for a long time, it really becomes your face",
Now the storyline is definitely full, and it can be filmed for at least 40 or 50 episodes.
Moreover, the "small love" between the male and female protagonists in the early stage is directly elevated to the "big love" at the national level!
and many more!
What are these plots? Why do they seem so familiar?
What the hell!
Lin Feng slapped his head vigorously. Isn’t this the most classic scene from "Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Red Sea" and "The Journey Home"?
Forget it, I'll just use it myself first, and I won't charge them the copyright fee in the future!
Maybe after Wu Jing, Zhang Yi and others’ movies are released, they will pay tribute to Lin Feng’s “Descendants of the Sun”!
