I'm almost a Muggle

After the award ceremony, there is a press conference, where the winners are interviewed by various media.

The main person who attracted attention was Du Qixi.

After he recovered, he seemed to behave like a normal person.

After all, he graduated from Nortel and has already made two films. Even if he thinks he is a fool after hearing some of his remarks, the reporter will come up with a deeper explanation on his own.

Won the Silver Bear and Best New Actor.

Lin Dong and Du Qixi stayed in Venice for two days before going to Toronto.

Going there is not for screenings or awards. Toronto does not conduct awards, it is just a place to sell movies.

No one in Venice has ever offered more than a million dollars.

The two of them just came to Toronto.

It is indeed more lively here, with film producers gathering here.

Lin Dong and Du Qixi set up a stall and hung up a makeshift poster, which introduced the movie and highlighted the Silver Bear Award and Best New Actor.

In the main competition unit, there are two awards, including the Silver Bear.

In the beginning, he was a small film producer, from a small and remote country. He had never heard of the name of the country or region, and Du Qixi didn't care too much about it.

One order was sold for five hundred dollars.

A good one only costs ten thousand dollars.

After a dozen orders, tens of thousands of dollars were made.

These are not the real big ones. If you can sell these, just sell them. Who cares about the price?

The Chinese-language films that can really sell for money should be from Southeast Asia, Japan, Korea, Africa, Europe, and North America, but this is also a shortcoming.

Among these big players, the first one to open is European copyright.

An old man from a corrupt country bought the European overseas copyright for US$400,000.

What's even more touching is that this old man and Lin Dong were chatting happily.

They also introduced a film producer from India, and finally gave the film a high price of 100,000 US dollars.

As the saying goes, it is impossible to pick out wool from a sheep, but what can you do if you are unfamiliar with the place?

Lin Dong encouraged the old man from the corrupt country vigorously, and asked him to introduce an old American film producer, who had a relatively high status among the film producers.

People ask for full copyright.

But Lin Dong and Du Qixi still have full rights for sale.

Then people don’t want to talk to them anymore.

Du Qixi slapped the table and decided to book the overseas rights for the next film.

People will be happy.

Who knows what your next movie will be.

Du Qixi showed off the trophies in his suitcase, a golden tiger and a silver lion. This guy actually carried his two big trophies with him.

This scene really impressed the film producers.

People may not necessarily know Du Qixi, but they know these two trophies very well.

But I don’t know what the next one will be like.

Gentlemen’s agreements are not popular among foreigners, so everything is still based on the work in front of me.

A price of one million and a half million dollars was given.

Calculating this, the overseas copyright of this drama was sold for more than 2 million US dollars, which is equivalent to just over 15 million US dollars.

This money does not need to be divided with the theater chains.

Counting the official subsidies for award-winning works from the three major film festivals and the share of box office revenue from theaters, we will definitely lose money, but not much.

Du Qixi carried his two trophies and went home with Lin Dong half happy and half sad.

On the one hand, he won the Silver Bear Award, but on the other hand, the promised 200 million became a joke.

However, after all, the producer did not bring anyone to kill him. In the film industry, you can make a lot of money. For example, "New Road" made a small profit of 80 million and earned 650 million.

It's a pity that they didn't catch the good time.

Now that I have lost money, I can only admit that I am unlucky.

Massage was released after 11 days of release. Theaters have refused to provide resources for this movie, which can only be watched by a few people at most per show. At certain times, everything can be booked for private viewing.

But Du Qixi's own glory has not been overshadowed by the film's loss of money.

The media and the public will not think that Du Qixi lost money and lost points.

They may even express sympathy for this movie that was neither a hit nor a hit.

And Du Qixi once again proved himself with the Silver Bear Award.

This director, who is only 23 years old, has become a rising star after Chief Jia, Hua Yan, Jiang Xiaojun and others.

Ten years from now, the Chinese film industry will definitely be his world.

And his new film "The End", which is about to be shot, has also received great attention from the media.

Just a few days before the launch.

Du Qixi put down her work and participated in the filming of "Tucao Show" as a guest and a organizer.

He and Zhang Jincheng are brothers.

The two consider themselves to be Lin Dong's right-hand men, and have a certain hostility towards Pei Qianlong and Wang Kuo who want to get involved.

However, they really have nothing to worry about.

Both of Du Qixi's films won international awards. Although the second film's box office hit, it still did not affect the reputation of his first film, which earned 650 million yuan.

While his new movie project is launching, there are still many producers who want to join.

And Zhang Sanpang is a person who made 200 million yuan from variety shows.

Now he has started to produce a second variety show, with a total cost of more than 200 million. He is definitely a big boss in the domestic variety show circle.

From the rules of the program, various links, scale, to the layout of the scene...

The point is the script!

This show cannot rely on improvisation. In fact, most variety shows have scripts. If there is no script, at most there is no detailed script.

Even if Huang Da'an is included, the actual personnel expenditure is less than 5 million.

So, how will the cost of 20 million per phase be spent?

Announcement?

Publicity is necessary, but even the best publicity won't cost that much money, not to mention that Penguin has promised to bear most of the publicity costs in order to secure the exclusive broadcast of this program.

So, where did Zhang Sanpang spend his money?

screenwriter!

At Zhang Shaochi's suggestion, in addition to Gangzi and Dandan participating in writing jokes, "Tucao Show" also invited a large number of professional and non-professional screenwriters.

Other people have only one screenwriter, maybe three or five at most.

And "Tucao Show" has thirty or fifty.

There are screenwriters who specialize in variety shows, and there are experts who write jokes online.

There is no fixed salary, the salary is calculated based on the number of jokes and jokes that are broadcast, 10,000 yuan per joke.

If two people repeat the same joke, they will share the ten thousand yuan.

According to Zhang Shaochi's requirements, the program should have an average of fifteen to twenty seconds for one laugh point.

There are three laugh points in one minute, and one hundred and eighty laugh points in one hour. One program is almost an hour and a half, which is 270 laugh points.

If a laugh line costs 10,000 yuan, the laugh line alone would cost 2.7 million yuan.

It can be said that the screenwriting aspect is the most expensive aspect of "Tucao Show", and it can be called the most expensive of all variety shows.

Several guests in the first episode were handed over to the writing team, and countless funny jokes were quickly produced.

And the guests were not idle either, there were some jokes that outsiders didn’t know.

Who writes it or not?

Guests can also make money by writing.

The most risqué one actually belongs to Gang Dan. In order to make money, these two people wrote their own jokes to make fun of themselves.
