has been released on November 4th. The 11-day "Youth of the Youth" has overwhelmed Schwarzenegger's "Terminator: Dark Fate" and other movies, and continued to win the single-day box office with a share of more than 32%. The total box office has exceeded 1.166 billion. According to this trend, the final box office of the movie is expected to exceed 1.5 billion. The success of
at the box office is due to the high quality of the film and the excellent performances of the actors. After its release, the score of "Young You" has been stable at 8.4 on Douban, which represents the recognition of the movie by more than 440,000 audiences. In addition, everyone gave a high evaluation of Yi Yang Qianxi's performance.
At the same time, various rumors about the movie are also raging. For example, many people say that the film has invested 120 million and the cost will be recovered within two days of release. Yi Qianqian received a high salary, and the actor originally decided that it was not him but Another traffic star and so on.
Originally, we were suspicious of these claims. We happened to talk about this movie in a movie announcement group. During this period, a producer of an investment company said that they almost voted for the movie at the beginning, and we chatted with him and found a lot of articles. .
The producer first threw over the script of "You are a young man", not sure if it was finalized, and after a brief glance, it was no different from the lines and scenes of the movie. Then the producer revealed that the original protagonist of the film was not Yi Yang Qianxi, but he did not say who the original protagonist was. This coincided with the rumored online rumor that Lu Han was originally scheduled.
and the investor gave up the investment because the protagonist was eventually replaced by Yi Yang Qianxi. When it comes to the production cost of a movie, it is not the 120 million that is said on the Internet, but at most 50 million, and Yi Qianxi’s remuneration is about 8 million. Prior to this, when Yi Yang Qianxi took the filming of "The Twelve Hours of Chang'an", it was rumored that his remuneration reached 60 million. This figure is relatively credible. You must know that the earliest "Chang'an" planned to exceed 60 episodes, and the final broadcast version Cut down to 48 episodes, as a first-line star, Yi Yang Qianxi's single-episode remuneration was not excessive at that time.
However, after reading the script of "You are the Younger", Qianxi Yi liked the role of Xiaobei very much. He must think that this is a good opportunity to temper his acting skills and make him enter the film circle. In addition, Zeng Guoxiang's previous film "July" "Yang An Sheng" has a good reputation, and let Zhou Dongyu and Ma Sichun get the golden horse double heroine. Faced with this good opportunity, the film pay is not so important, and it is reasonable to take the film pay.
So, is this producer's revelation really credible? Let's do a rational analysis of film investment and Yi Yanqianxi's pay.
Compared to other films with larger investment, "You are a teenager" has not too many investors, with only 6 companies. Among them are the producer Xu Yuezhen and director Zeng Guoxiang's Pai Culture Media, and Hou Xiaoqiang as the general manager of Zhonghui Film and television, Shen Haobo's iron-grinding entertainment, and Chen Kexin's our production.
Xu Yuezhen and Chen Kexin are both very senior and experienced filmmakers. The two have worked together for decades. They worked together as early as when Chen Kexin was running UFO. The two are currently cooperating to film "Li Na" which was released on the Spring Festival file. After Hong Kong filmmakers went north, Chen Kexin has not failed as a producer or director. In addition to his own director's talent, his unique vision of the project and effective control of production costs are also indispensable. One example of
is "Demon Lingling" directed by his wife Wu Junru. Chen Kexin was the producer, which stifled many of Wu Junru’s ideas. For example, when Wu Junru first wanted to make the movie a pure thriller, Chen Kexin not only rejected her shooting direction, It also introduced happy twists, which led the film to a combination of horror and comedy. In an interview with two people at that time, Chen Kexin said that Wu Junru spent 10 to 20 million to build the building in the movie and did not "report" him. As a result, Chen Kexin only knew about this after seeing the bill. For Guanghuo, as a producer, he is responsible for his wallet and the investment of other producers. The bottom line is not to lose money.
Let's go back to the last collaboration between Chen Kexin and Zeng Guoxiang, "July and Ansheng", which is similar to "Youth in Youth". It talks about the pain of youth and growth, and the film's tone is more literary. Xu Yuezhen once revealed that the cost of "July and Ansheng" is 30 million including the actors' salary. In the end, "July and Ansheng" had a box office of 166 million, and the box office of the film side accounted for more than 60 million. It still made money.
has "SevenThe project of "Moon and Ansheng" is here, how could the investment of "Youth in Youth" be too large? Before the movie is released, who would dare to pack the tickets and say that the movie can sell for more than 1 billion? Based on the experience and cautious attitude of Chen Kexin and Xu Yuezhen, the investment of 50 million in "You are a teenager" is no small risk. It is precisely because of this that the distributor seems not to have too much pressure on the box office, so it will temporarily announce the schedule and release it without publicity.
According to the normal expenditure ratio of a movie, even if the actors' pay accounts for 40% of the total production cost, the total pay of all the actors is only 20 million. There are nearly 20 actors who can be named, except for two. In addition to the leading actors, there are also Yin Fang, Huang Jue, Zhou Ye and others. So many people divide up the limited pay. In my opinion, Yi Yang Qianxi took 8 million yuan. It may have been more. In the movie circle, his The remuneration should be ranked after Dongyu Zhou!
If the box office of "Young You" is estimated to reach 1.5 billion, then the film's revenue will exceed 500 million. However, capital is cold and ruthless. The companies that make money are those companies that only pay money and do not work. The Henan Film and Television Production Group, which ranks the first in the producer, is the most profitable. Among those who actually participate in film production, The biggest winner is producer Xu Yuezhen, who is the largest shareholder with 46% of Paipai Culture and director Zeng Guoxiang is the second largest shareholder with 27% of the company's shares. Two people benefit most from this movie. In addition, in addition to two people, the shareholder of the film culture is another film investor, Tianjin Motie Entertainment Co., Ltd., and the potato chip culture, which is ranked fifth, accounting for 3%, has become "You of the Youth" The propaganda party, but the movie doesn't have much propaganda. They can get box office dividends and propaganda fees.
goes down to Zhonghui Film and Television. As mentioned earlier, the chairman of this company is Hou Xiaoqiang. He is good at IP operations. I believe that he has the right to adapt the novel, even though the novel is caught in plagiarism and fusion scandals. , But I have to admit that this is a good IP and has written a good script. This time, Chen Kexin was only involved in the investment, and the old partner Xu Yuezhen had done the work of supervision, so he was lying down and making money. What about
? Shaved his head and suffered a lot of hardship for this movie. For a star like him, a salary of 8 million or less can only be regarded as hard money! No matter how many movies are sold at the box office, it has nothing to do with his income.
writes to the end and found that although film is an artistic creation, it is such a bloody reality at the capital level. The income of the people who pay the most labor is often not proportional to the pay. The film industry is based on seniority. Yi Yang Qianxi is still very young, and he has a long way to go. When he slowly opens up a world in the film industry and upgrades to an investor and producer, I believe there will be some in film creation. With more voice, you can earn more money.
