"I announce that "Crazy Stone" is officially finished!"
The time was July 18, 2004. The last scene was shot at Luohan Temple. Bao Shihong peed freely in the toilet. With the sullen expression on his face, Shao Shuaijun loudly shouted "Finish".
"Ouch!"
The entire crew burst into excitement. Under the leadership of Huang Bo, they rushed into the toilet and dragged Shao Shuaijun out. Then the deputy directors Wang Yixue and Yue Xiaojun each took a bottle of champagne, shook it vigorously, pulled out the bottle cap, and pointed it at Shao Shuaijun.
"Hey, stop, be careful about deducting your wages!"
Before Shao Shuaijun finished speaking, two shots of champagne were sprayed over him, soaking him all over.
"Ah ha ha ha, oooo!" Huang Bo screamed while spraying.
Shao Shuaijun was sprayed all over his face, and Guo Tao next to him was also sprayed all over. It was summer, and Shao Shuaijun was wearing big pants and an undershirt, so he was sprayed when he was sprayed. But Guo Tao was wearing props and costumes, oh, they can't be considered props.
, these clothes originally belonged to Guo Tao himself. The crew did not have the money to purchase so many clothes, so the actors wore their own clothes in many scenes.
Guo Tao roared, rushed over and snatched Yue Xiaojun's champagne, and started squirting with Huang Bo.
"Ouch, stop yelling, you've broken my camera!" Zhang Teng, who was filming the documentary, shouted and ran outside. A documentary is to record how the movie was made and what happened privately.
Behind-the-scenes footage. Firstly, it can be used as a souvenir, and secondly, it can be used for publicity.
Soon, everyone joined the battle group. Shao Shuaijun, who had never liked fighting, also developed the passion of "I am talking about being a teenager". He grabbed a bottle of champagne from somewhere and sprayed it everywhere.
"Too, too, too childish." Chief Artist Zhang Xiaobing packed up his equipment to prevent it from being damaged by the rain, shaking his head and saying. Suddenly, a stream of champagne flew from nowhere and hit him in the head.
Zhang Xiaobing was furious. He turned around and saw the photographer Shi Sheng. He immediately rushed into the crowd with quick hands and eyes, grabbed a bottle of champagne, shook it a few times, and suddenly pulled out the cork.
"Bang!"
The champagne shot up like a rocket with great momentum.
"I do!"
Shi Sheng was on guard for a long time, reached out to touch his back, held up a black umbrella, and poured out all the champagne: "Haha, what can you do to me?"
"Idiot." Zhang Xiaobing smiled lightly.
Wow, makeup artist Yang Yang had already touched her and poured champagne directly on Shi Sheng's head.
A champagne drinking war broke out across the entire crew, and the fighting lasted for half an hour before resting. Shao Shuaijun watched everyone dripping with water, not sure whether it was the champagne or sweat. He laughed silently. After more than two months of hard work, Shao Shuaijun
, rushed to shoot day and night, and finally achieved the right results.
After laughter comes farewell.
After a whole day of commotion, dinner and singing, everyone reluctantly said goodbye the next day, and several women even shed tears at the airport. There is no end to the banquet in the world, and people who have been filming all year round are like changing flowers.
It's common to change crews. He hid his sadness and traveled to various places. Shao Shuaijun personally saw off Li Kai, Guo Tao and others.
A few days later, Luohan Temple was handed over to the Yuzhong County Government, and the crew of "Crazy Stone" officially erased all traces of the past. After settling the last payment, Shao Shuaijun flew to Hengdian with a group of followers.
Because post-production takes half a month, Shao Shuaijun has to edit the release version of the film and several promotional videos within this half month. Unlike other directors, Shao Shuaijun likes to edit movies by himself instead of hiring a professional editor.
Shao Shuaijun put a lot of thought into this movie, and many aspects are different from the original version. The workmanship is more refined and the content is more coherent.
Compared with the version in his mind, Shao Shuaijun is sure to edit a more perfect movie.
With Zhao Cheng in contact, Shao Shuaijun quickly found a post-production team to help him perfect the film. This year, Huayi Brothers had already planned to set up a company in Hengdian. Zhao Cheng was transferred from the distribution department to preside over the establishment of the company. With the development of Hengdian
The development and potential are becoming more and more promising, and many entertainment companies have begun to move into Hengdian.
Huayi will move its headquarters here in the future.
Shao Shuaijun is also most familiar with Hengdian and likes the atmosphere here, so he placed the post-production in Hengdian.
He spent the whole day perfecting the film with the production team, and a group of followers he brought lived in Liu Sanxi's home. These people included Yue Xiaojun, Huang Bo, Wang Yixue, Ma Hu, Jiang Zhigang, as well as Liu Sanxi, Anan, Sishui and Zebra, among others
So we got together because of "Crazy Racing" proposed by Shao Shuaijun.
Shao Shuaijun cannot direct this movie, but he plans to be an investor and producer, so let them do the preliminary work first.
Liu Sanxi is no longer a group leader now, and her wife has also closed the canteen. Although her status has not yet been determined, she has become a member of Shao Shuaijun's team. She often brags to her former group performers that she is now a general of Shao's class and is already a member of Shao Shuaijun's team.
There is a famous character in the film industry.
Having said that, the team settled in his house and the rent was still collected.
…
Three days later, Zhao Cheng found Shao Shuaijun who was immersed in the screening room: "Director Shao, Director Hu is here. Find a place to discuss the promotion of the movie."
Director Hu is the relative Zhao Cheng mentioned last time, Hu Ming, the financial director of Huayi Brothers and one of the future giants of Huayi Group. Hu Ming is an intellectual, generous, beautiful and dignified woman in her thirties, with a master's degree in management and a certified public accountant.
, worked in Fortune 500 companies such as Motorola and Canon.
Also following Hu Ming was Shao Shuaijun's elder sister, Shao Xiaoling. Shao Xiaoling is now Hu Ming's special assistant. Shao Shuaijun guessed that on the one hand, Huayi wanted to win over him, and on the other hand, the elder sister was indeed very smart and capable, otherwise Hu Ming would never have done it.
Choose a recent graduate to be your assistant.
In fact, there was nothing to talk about. Shao Shuaijun had no intention of interfering with publicity matters. The distribution rights of the film have been taken by Huayi, which invested 10 million for publicity. The producer who received the box office will share half of it. A film's box office must be paid 5%.
Film fund and 3.3% business tax, the remaining 91.7% is used for sharing. Among them, theaters take up to 50%, theater companies take about 7%, and the remaining 43% goes to the producers and distribution companies.
In total, the producer and distribution company can get about 40% of the total box office. In other words, Shao Shuaijun personally invested 3 million and shot the movie and got 20% of the box office. Huayi Brothers invested 10 million to promote the movie and got the same.
Go for 20% off the box office.
This kind of box office share is enough to give Shao Shuaijun face, and Shao Shuaijun is indeed very satisfied. The original version of "Crazy Stone" only took in 23 million box office without publicity. This version has been vigorously promoted by Huayi Brothers.
The box office will definitely be a hit, but Shao Shuaijun doesn't know exactly how much it can reach. He estimates the valuation in his heart to be between 60 and 70 million, so that both parties can make a lot of money. Plus the DVD share, it is guaranteed not to be lost.
Faced with Huayi's publicity plan, Shao Shuaijun thought about it and said: "In the early stage of the movie, we can arrange for the starring actors to go to major cities to promote it. I will seize the time and cut out the first promotional video for release. You don't know how to do it specifically.
Ask me, I don’t know, I don’t have the time, and I don’t want to appear on TV.”
