This actor just wants to verify.

Chapter 820: Do Your Part (ask for monthly ticket)
"Quiet, quiet, get ready to shoot!" Jiang Wen shouted twice at the top of his lungs.

The noisy noise on the set became much quieter.

But it's still a mess.

One person was even crying.

"Uncle Jiang, look..." Hao Yun trotted over with his cell phone in his hand.

The news said there was an earthquake.

Jiang Wen stood up at once.

After watching the news, he sighed, then picked up the megaphone and shouted, "That's it for today, let's call it a day. We'll continue filming tomorrow...tomorrow!"

He has a lot to carry and cannot be too fragile.

After Hao Yun returned, he started thinking about how to help with disaster relief. This has nothing to do with being a saint or not. As a compatriot, he should always do his part.

Moreover, he is indeed capable of doing his part.

Heidou Media first raised a batch of disaster relief supplies worth millions and also sent a group of volunteers.

The team was led by Wu Jing's buddy.

They are all strong young men who signed up voluntarily.

Even someone from the crew of "Let the Bullets Fly" resigned and went to the disaster area. Their home was not far from the epicenter of the earthquake, and they couldn't get through on the phone. Their eyes were swollen from crying.

Worried, I rushed back overnight.

Hao Yun did not approve his resignation, but granted him leave, and allowed him to continue coming to work if there was nothing important at home.

Salaries will be paid as usual, as he is the producer and has the final say.

In fact, there are such volunteers every year for disaster relief, and not everyone can enter the disaster area.

Then came the Little Forest Purified Water. All of the more than 10 bottles of purified water in stock were transported there by truck overnight.

A few more trucks will be loaded and sent over later along with other supplies.

In fact, the price of Little Forest purified water is higher than that of ordinary purified water.

But when it comes to disaster relief, this is not the case. Just do whatever is convenient.

The donation made by Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi personally was only 20 RMB, which is a standard donation scale. Many first- and second-tier celebrities have donated this amount.

However, as usual, Hao Yun donated all the copyright income of "The Sun Also Rises" this year.

He seldom made much return from publishing his novels.

The real big money came from the 10 million box office revenue donated by the two in the name of "Little Forest Spring".

Moreover, the two of them paid in advance, otherwise it would be too late to wait until the movie was settled.

According to the ratio of 70:30 between the two, it is equivalent to Hao Yun donating 7 million and An Xiaoxi donating 3 million.

There is nothing wrong with donating in the name of "Little Forest", after all, everyone knows that Little Forest makes money.

After the donation amount was announced, the popularity of "Little Forest" increased again.

"The Forbidden Kingdom", which was released at the same time, also donated 10 million.

The box office of "The Forbidden Kingdom" in its first week was as high as 8000 million, but the word of mouth was terrible, and the daily box office began to drop sharply afterwards.

The attendance rate was so poor that the profit-driven theaters immediately shifted their screening schedules toward "Little Forest."

When the total box office of "The Forbidden Kingdom" exceeded 100 million yuan, the box office of "Little Forest" exceeded 50 million yuan in just half a month due to the hype of the scandal.

The former cost 5 million RMB, while the latter cost only million RMB for four films.

"Little Forest" donated 10 million, which is unique in the entertainment industry.

This behavior was praised by official media, and coupled with heated discussions on Weibo, the single-day box office of "Little Forest" increased significantly.

The disaster situation is indeed not suitable for watching a movie.

"Little Forest" does not use any marketing donations to encourage people to watch it.

But when I thought about the fact that "Little Forest" donated 10 million - which is equivalent to donating 30 million in box office revenue, everyone who had originally been hesitant about watching the movie or not, and who were hesitating whether to watch it a second time, all spent some money to buy movie tickets.

The cinema chains did not take the opportunity to raise prices as there is an agreement in place.

What Hao Yun donated was the money earned by the producers, the pure profit from the box office, not the box office revenue. The cinema chain did not lose a penny, but instead benefited from the surge in box office revenue.

So Hao Yun's move really won the favor of the theaters.

It’s just that theaters are all profit-driven, and this kind of goodwill cannot affect the overall situation. At most, it can take care of Boss Hao’s business when it is feasible or not.

By mid-to-late May, disaster relief efforts were still ongoing and people from all walks of life were still donating money.

The box office of "Little Forest Spring Festival" successfully exceeded 3000 million yuan, only million yuan less than "The Forbidden Kingdom".

"The Forbidden Kingdom" grossed 8000 million in its first week. Looking at the first week's box office, some people think it will at least break 5 million.

But after so many days of continuous decline, it couldn't even break 200 million.

At the beginning, everyone thought that "Little Forest" was unlucky. It would definitely be squeezed out of the screening schedule when it encountered a big production like "The Forbidden Kingdom".

However, with the reversal of the reputation of the two, it is "Little Forest" that is constantly squeezing the living space of "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Industry insiders believe that if there was no "Little Forest", "The Forbidden Kingdom" would have had a chance to break the 200 million box office. Fortunately, "The Forbidden Kingdom" still has an overseas market.

This drama in which a group of yellow celebrities support a white boy, with both kung fu and special effects, should have no shortage of fans in Europe and the United States.

But compared with the cost of 500 million, losing money is inevitable.

The two Hua brothers fainted in the toilet crying. They took over this project from someone else and did not expect to lose so much money.

They also didn't expect that the bitch Hao Yun would actually donate money in the name of "Little Forest".

The two films were released at the same time.

"The Forbidden Kingdom" often hypes up cultural exports and plays the patriotic sentiment card.

As a result, "Little Forest" donated money, while "The Forbidden Kingdom" pretended to be dead.

Being scolded is inevitable.

In fact, a few hours after the donation to "Little Forest", many people did denounce "The Forbidden Kingdom".

Donating is not compulsory, but there is a reference group.

Even though "The Forbidden Kingdom" announced a donation of 10 million yuan soon after, it was not as popular as "Little Forest".

Disaster relief is one thing, but the filming of "Let the Bullets Fly" cannot be stopped.

Every day of delay for the crew would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars. The apprentice took the lion's share of the film's profits, so Jiang Wen had to be responsible for Hao Yun's money.

Therefore, in addition to donations, the entire crew is still operating at high speed.

Even the preparations for "Your Name" were not delayed.

The actors began to arrange schedules and discuss their pay one by one. The protagonists of this movie would definitely be Hao Yun and An Xiaoxi, and then there would be An Xiaoxi's sister, male classmate and female classmate, Hao Yun's two high school classmates.

There is also an actress who plays the grandmother.

These are the main actors and need Hao Yun to check them, but Hao Yun doesn't need to worry about the minor actors.

The preliminary preparations were mainly undertaken by assistant director and director of photography Cao Dun.

Cao Dun took on many projects with Hao Yun, especially the "Little Forest" tetralogy, and also learned two plays with Zhao Fei.

He has good talent and practice makes perfect, so he has won several awards in photography.

The director of photography was Cao Dun, and the art director was Zhang Shuping.

He served as art director for many of Wang Jiawei's films, including Let the Bullets Fly.

Hao Yun had dealt with him many times on the set and mentioned him casually during a break.

The money was in place, and he really wanted to work with Hao Yun, a rising star, so he agreed.

Hao Yun’s current reputation is very useful.

There are countless people both on and off the stage who want to work with him, and some are even willing to reduce their pay or remuneration.

For example, the supporting role of the beautiful senior in "Your Name".

It was a medium-budget film, but many second- and third-tier female stars were vying for this supporting role.

Among them, there are many top-tier female stars who have expressed their willingness to play supporting roles.

For example, Li Xuexue.

A few days after Li Xuexue contacted us, Fan Xuexue also expressed interest in the role.

I don’t know if these two are mad at each other or what.

In fact, Fan Xuexue is quite suitable for this role. She is bright, generous, charming and attractive, and is more than qualified to play a beautiful senior student.

It's just that the pay is too high.

If someone is willing to condescend to play a supporting role and you don't pay him enough, that would be a bit greedy.

So, all these first-line actresses refused.

Hao Yun asked the hotel where the "Let the Bullets Fly" crew was staying to vacate a room for him, specifically for auditioning actors for the "Your Name" crew.

He tried several female stars but was not satisfied with any of them.

Deng Jiajia stood at the door of the hotel and confirmed the hotel sign.

Then he came to the front desk with a smile.

Before she could say anything, the receptionist said, "Hello, Miss. Our hotel is booked by the crew and we cannot arrange accommodation for guests. If you are here for an audition, please go directly to the fourth floor and take room 403."

Deng Jiajia found room 403, took a deep breath and knocked on the door.

Auditions for film crews are also very chaotic these days.

But there is no way, most of the auditions for the crews are arranged in hotels.

No one knows what you can see when you open the door.

Fortunately, Hao Yun has a very good reputation in the circle, and Zhang Songwen, the teacher in charge of auditions under him, is also well-known.

Otherwise, Deng Jiajia would definitely not dare to come to the hotel alone.
