Chapter 0586 Risk Reward
"Concert? I didn't say I was going to have a concert!" Han Lan was still in the Lighthouse Country at the moment, and was confused when she received the news from China.
"And even if I really want to hold a concert, I will definitely hold it in China. I don't have many fans overseas. Wouldn't it be embarrassing if no one buys tickets? What is there to worry about?"
"Han Shuai, but to be honest, do you want to consider holding a concert? It's been a long time since you debuted." Fang Qiaorui advised.
"Concert..." Han Lan muttered.
In fact, when he first woke up and sang at Xia Ningxuan's concert, he thought about opening a concert by himself at some point. But later because his focus was on movies, he put it aside.
Moreover, Tomahawk Entertainment is in the early stages of development and needs money. Compared with concerts, movies are definitely more profitable, and they can also drive more artists in the company to grow and make more money.
For singers, selling albums, participating in commercial performances, and advertising endorsements are all relatively quick ways to make money. Concerts are more about interacting with fans and increasing stickiness to show their influence and appeal.
Of course, if the scale of the concert is large enough and the number of people is large enough, it can also attract money. However, the effect of supporting singers and bringing in new people in a concert is definitely not as good as that in a movie. It is impossible for a concert to have all new people and new people.
Not many shots.
"Sister Yi said that she hopes to help you plan a world tour in the first half of next year. With your current popularity, you can afford a world tour. Moreover, if you calculate the time, it happens to be the tenth anniversary of your debut."
"The tenth anniversary of your debut?"
Han Lan was stunned for a moment, and soon realized that they had also included the time before his car accident.
If you deduct the five years since the car accident and most of the half a year since you woke up as a trainee, it will almost be the tenth anniversary of your debut.
"I always thought of myself as a newcomer, but I didn't expect that it has been so long since I debuted..." Han Lan said with emotion.
If there hadn't been that car accident, his status in the Chinese music scene would definitely be higher than Xia Ningxuan's.
After hesitating for a moment, Han Lan nodded: "Let Sister Yi start planning. There will be a gap period after the Spring Festival Gala and the concert can be held."
"Okay." Fang Qiaorui wrote down the memo, then flipped through it again, and continued to report: "One more thing, Han Shuai, I was contacted by two lighthouse country blockbusters just now, hoping to invite you to participate."
"oh?"
Fang Qiaorui flipped through her mailbox and reported: "The first one is "The Grandmaster", which is also about Chinese Kung Fu. It is directed by Mike Jewell, a first-line director from the Lighthouse Country, with an investment of 70 million U.S. dollars. I hope to invite you to play the leading male role in the movie.
We are currently willing to offer a salary of 1 million U.S. dollars, but there will be a 5% box office share."
"Oh?" Han Lan couldn't help but sit up straighter.
There are generally two forms of remuneration for actors in the Lighthouse Country Film Holy Land. The first is fixed remuneration, which is also the method that most actors can choose. It is usually calculated on a weekly basis. The crew estimates how many weeks the actors will be required to cooperate with the filming, and then
The amount of remuneration paid to actors per week, and the extra time will be calculated on a daily basis. The top actors in the lighthouse country often refer to the "20 million club", of which 20 million is the fixed salary.
The other type is risk pay, which is basically given to actors at the "Twenty Million Club" level. They can choose a very low fixed pay or even no fixed pay during the filming period in exchange for a share of the box office after the movie is released.
This is how many of the top actors in the Lighthouse Country earn their astronomical salaries, with the highest record currently being $120 million.
However, there are many pitfalls in this payment method. For example, the box office split account includes the preliminary box office split account, which means that the total box office without deducting any costs is directly distributed to the actors according to the agreed ratio; there is also the net profit split account, which means that after the completion of the cost is deducted,
Account sharing. With the same sharing ratio, the gap between the two is huge, especially for net profit, where there are many different definitions and complex definitions, making it easy to dig holes.
Therefore, even the actors in the lighthouse country who have more risk-based pay will choose the former, or would rather get more fixed pay and not participate in the box office split.
Of course, the risky remuneration proposed for the movie "The Grandmaster" is obviously not to deliberately cheat Han Lan, but because their own investment is limited. If the remuneration standard proposed by Han Lan when she last came to the Lighthouse Country was followed, the leading actor would have saved almost 20 million U.S. dollars.
. As a result, they won’t be able to make any good movies with the remaining 50 million dollars invested.
Han Lan hesitated for a moment, but was not in a hurry to agree, and asked again: "Is there another movie?"
"The other one is "Carl's Rescue". Judging from the introduction, it should be a military action movie. It is directed by Director Andrews, who is also a first-class director in the Lighthouse Country. He has currently invested 100 million U.S. dollars and offered a salary invitation of 10 million U.S. dollars.
You play the villain in the play."
"Villain? It's interesting, I haven't played this role before."
"Han Shuai is interested?"
"No, I just rejected it. I'm so handsome and I look like a good guy at first glance, but you actually want me to play the villain?" Han Lan waved her hand and changed her face immediately.
Fang Qiaorui watched silently as he sent her a good guy card, then crossed out "Carl's Rescue", and then asked: "Han Shuai, do you want to consider "The Grandmaster"?"
"Em..." Han Lan thought about it for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Forget it, a Kung Fu movie directed by a foreign director doesn't taste right, and I'm afraid they'll mess with me on the salary, so I'll reject it."
"Push it all?" Fang Qiaorui was stunned.
Han Lan didn't care at all: "Yeah, I've rejected them all. Anyway, we didn't come here just to find a movie to shoot. We rejected it because we didn't like it. And now we, Tomahawk Entertainment, are the top ones in kung fu movies, so there is no need to lower ourselves to go there."
We filmed in the movie mecca of Lighthouse Country. In the past, it was because they had good conditions there and had a world-class team, but now we have one too, and we have more experience in kung fu movies than they do, so it’s really unnecessary.”
Fang Qiaorui nodded and crossed out "The Grandmaster": "Well, Han Shuai, if I have nothing to do, I'll go back to the room first. We have a flight at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning, so you can go to bed early."
"Um."
…
In the end, Han Lan and his party did not spend Christmas in the Lighthouse Country. After finishing their work here, they took a flight back to the country the day before Christmas.
There are still Spring Festival Gala programs in China that he needs to be responsible for, and he doesn't have enough time to spend Christmas.
However, Fan Wenqiang, who is also in N city, had a new experience here with his family and spent a "foreign year". In fact, it was not that easy. There was not as much food as in China, but he could take photos and post them on WeChat to show off.
.
Of course, Fan Wenqiang was not just here for vacation. He appeared on a talk show here in Beacon Country with the crew of "Urban Fighter 2" and also gave Christmas blessings to people all over the world.
Fan Wenqiang's language talent is really strong. It's hard to imagine that more than a year ago, he was a small group actor who couldn't even recognize the twenty-six letters of the alphabet. Now he can talk freely on the lighthouse country talk show.
Although the accent is still there and is very non-standard, in fact many people in the lighthouse country don't care too much about the accent problem, because most people have an accent and no one speaks in a radio accent every day.
