Chapter 91: Art Directors Need to Be Physically Strong?

After a brief joke.

Zhou Tao looked at Chen Xiao: "Director Chen, let me think about it and find you a good one later."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Thank you."

In fact, he didn't want to find someone to deduce the error.

The development of cutting-edge technology in this world is not much different from that of the original world, just a little ahead. The main thing is that the application of technology is extremely advanced.

The script of "Interstellar" was calculated and polished by Nobel Prize winners in the original world, and there should be no big problems in science.

He invited authoritative physicists for the word "authority".

Find an expert to sit in, so that the audience will not question whether there are any physical problems.

The business is almost over, and the food is ready.

The three put away the script and chatted while eating.

While the two of them were talking about work, Chen Xiao also simply calculated the income in his mind.

The box office revenue of the movie must first deduct 8% of taxes and special funds. The remaining 92% is divided among the producer, distributor, and theater.

Among the remaining part.

The producer generally gets 35% to 40%.

The Ministry of Culture finds someone to distribute the film, and the producer is estimated to get 42%.

The producer's share must first be deducted from the profits of the screenwriter, director, and actors.

Generally speaking, this part should account for 10% of the total. As a director and screenwriter, he is estimated to get 5%.

The remaining 32% is divided among the three parties.

He contributed 70%, which means that 22.4% of the 32% belongs to him.

Adding the 5% shared by the screenwriter and director, the proportion of the amount he gets after deducting taxes and funds is 27.4%.

According to the total box office, it is:

Total box office*92%*27.4%

It is approximately equal to 25.2% of the total box office.

Pay another 20% tax... Damn, his money!

Fortunately, the tax rate in this world is low, but 20% is a bit painful.

Calculate it, the money you get is about: 20% of the total box office.

As for the total box office...

The market for science fiction films is not large, and this movie has a threshold of physics knowledge.

But his reputation with the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Science and Technology can attract a group of audiences.

In general, the domestic box office can reach 4 billion, conservatively estimated.

Then the money he got is 40*20%=800 million.

Damn... so poor, it only doubled.

But fortunately, there is also the foreign market.

The global market is estimated to reach 6 billion, and the producers in each region share differently, so let's estimate it at 20% first.

The money he got is 1.2 billion.

The total is 2 billion.

Not bad.

Hiss——

After filming this, why not shoot Avatar, at least it will make money!

An hour later, the three of them put down their tableware one after another.

Zhou Tao smiled and said, "I have a meeting at nine o'clock, so I'll leave you first. You two can chat slowly."

After saying goodbye to Zhou Tao.

Chen Xiao and Li Zhiming quickly shifted the topic to "Farewell My Concubine".

"Director Li, I hope that Farewell My Concubine can be shown at international film festivals and released overseas. What do you think?"

Li Zhiming's eyes lit up, "We have the same idea. Which one do you want to go to? Venice Film Festival, or Berlin? Or wait for Cannes?"

After speaking, he raised his teacup and was about to take a sip of tea when he heard Chen Xiao say.

"I want to go to all the festivals I can, such as Venice Film Festival, Berlin Film Festival, Shanghai International Film Festival, and the Japanese Critics Film Award, New York Film Critics Association Award, Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award..."

Li Zhiming listened to him babble about the names of the awards, and his heart trembled, and the tea in the cup in his hand also shook.

This kid is really ambitious.

When reading these awards, aren't you excited?

He read them so calmly that it almost feels like he is counting the awards he has won.

"Okay, I see. Your idea is very good, so report it."

After he said this calmly, he felt like his heart was about to jump out.

If the Peking Opera promotional film he led wins awards at the three major national film festivals like "Titanic", or even wins several awards.

Then...

Thinking of this, Li Zhiming, who always keeps his emotions to himself, couldn't help but feel excited, and his cheeks flushed.

If he really wins, he can't imagine how smooth his future in the cultural field will be!

In the period when the country is vigorously revitalizing culture, use traditional culture to win glory for the country.

In the future, it will definitely soar!

He took a deep breath to calm himself down, and then laughed heartily: "Director Chen, when filming "Interstellar", tell me what you need, you're welcome! Core team, I'll find the best for you this time!"

Chen Xiao was stunned.

What's wrong with Director Li?

Suddenly, he smiled as if he had drunk wine.

But he didn't say much, and agreed, "Okay, thank you Director Li."

...

The next morning.

Chen Xiao was sorting out the detailed version of the script at home, and his cell phone rang.

"Secretary He, good morning."

"Hello, Director Chen, Director Li asked me to contact you to ask about your requirements for the core team members."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao put down his pen, thought for a while and said, "Please help me find a photography director who is good at real shooting."

Secretary He was stunned.

Director Li said it was a science fiction film, how to find a director who is good at real shooting.

He confirmed: "Real shooting? Is it actual shooting?"

"Yes. No need to find a special effects director, I will lead the special effects department myself. But try to find the best special effects artist."

"Okay, I took note of it."

"No need for music, I will do the music."

Secretary He pursed his lips.

I silently sighed in my heart, if Director Chen had a few clones, the entire crew would stop working.

He quickly wrote down the request in his notebook, and Chen Xiao's voice soon came from the other side of the phone again.

"Oh, by the way, everyone must be strong and hardworking, especially art directors."

This time, we will go to other places to shoot scenes, including glaciers.

Don’t look for an old-timer with weak legs and feet.

The art director does not need to plant corn himself, but he has to confirm the beauty of the scene. If he found someone who was too weak to take care of himself, he would have to go there himself.

Secretary He nodded and wrote in the notebook, "Everyone is hard-working, especially the arts..."

His writing movement suddenly stopped.

Um?

Aren’t art directors supposed to have good aesthetics?

Misheard?

"Director Chen, let me confirm, you are a hardworking person, especially an art director, right?"

"Yeah, that's right. Be strong and not afraid of the sun."

Secretary He scratched his head.

Then I probably need to find someone younger.

"Okay, I understand."

Then he wrote down his request in his notebook with a puzzled look on his face.
