China Entertainment's performance is king

Chapter 1067 The Purpose is Obvious
"Who is this? Isn't he Lang who has always wanted to usurp the throne?" Shen Lang arrived in Chongqing in the early hours of last night. He did not sleep in and came to visit the set of "Passing by Your World" early in the morning. The main reason was that Deng Chao had mentioned it many times before, and since he was here, he must say hello. He has many friends here, so he can watch it together.

He also looked at Liu Shishi. He had come back last night and started working early in the morning. Although the roadshow during this period was understandable, he still had to do his job and had to come when he had time, even if he had to go to several cinemas in the afternoon.

Deng Chao said that Shen Lang was plotting to usurp the throne, and he was referring to the "Running Man" they had worked together on. Because he was becoming more and more popular, he himself stopped mentioning the deputy captain's jokes, but the program crew kept mentioning it.

"Brother Chao, I have been exiled to the frontier. How can I have the ability to get promoted? You are slandering me." Shen Lang said with a smile.

"If you want to come back, it's just a matter of saying a word." Shen Lang is now participating in the show, and the Running Man is eager for it.

Lu Han is also very popular, but Shen Lang's return will only add fuel to the fire. After many collaborations, the production team also knows that Shen Lang has no rules at all for treating other top stars differently. It's mainly because Shen Lang is confident in himself.

"There is a chance." Shen Lang said.

"Congratulations, your new movie has grossed over 1 billion again." Deng Chao was still very envious of Shen Lang.

Even though he is the leading actor in "The Mermaid", the best movie in film history, he is still extremely envious of the achievement of breaking 1 billion, and he cannot guarantee whether his next movie will be good or not.

Being able to break 1 billion is already a great achievement in the film and television industry. This is not the first time for Shen Lang, it has happened one after another, which is quite scary.

"It's just a coincidence, it just happened to be a bit hot." Shen Lang said modestly.

"You are still being polite to me. You are just bragging. Teacher Sun Li told me that she wants to cooperate with you in a TV series." Deng Chaodao said that Sun Li really said that this is the first TV series to break the record after the ratings changed the statistical method.

Sun Li also speculated that with the shift in the way TV dramas are broadcast in the future, the ratings of "Twinkle Twinkle Star" may become a hit.

"Then we need to find a better script." Shen Lang said.

"Haha, that's for sure. Come to think of it, I kind of regret it. I should have tied you up at that time." Deng Chao joked.

The success of Shen Lang's "Your Wedding" made the producers of "Passing by Your World" a little regretful. Shen Lang almost arrived.

If he came, now we have Liu Shishi and Bai Baihe in the crew. If they try harder to get Liu Tianxian, I wonder how popular "Passing by Your World" will be.

Deng Chao is one of the investors, and he must be feeling regretful because he could have directly shared the money from the box office.

"I really don't have time. Look how busy I am." Shen Lang said.

"That's right. By the way, I heard that you and Brother Jing are going to cooperate?" Deng Chao asked.

“It should be about the same. Please help me.” Shen Lang did not hide it. After all, the other party was also one of the investors of Wolf Warrior 2, although his share was almost nothing.

Wu Jing himself did not expect that when he invited Shen Lang to play a rich second-generation role, he would actually agree. He originally thought it was just a try and had no expectations at all. His original cost was not enough to invite Shen Lang, so he decided to give him a supporting role. However, Shen Lang actually said that he would do it if there was a chance. He originally thought it was an excuse, but Xiao Tao actually came to him. He is indeed a good brother.

Deng Chao also invested a little in "Wolf Warrior 2". After all, the box office of the first part was still good, so if he has this channel, he should use it.

Of course, with the joining of Shen Lang, the investment in the film will definitely increase. Wu Jing is indeed unwilling to spend a lot of money to invite a star, but when this person is Shen Lang, he is willing to do so.

Shen Lang's pay is very high. Although "Twinkle Twinkle Star" is a TV series, it also makes his movie pay increase.

And Shen Lang is here to play a supporting role. Under normal circumstances, if you let someone who is more famous than you play a supporting role, you will have to pay more.

Fortunately, Xiao Tao has already negotiated the investment for "Wolf Warrior 2", so Shen Lang can reduce his salary slightly, as long as he has a share.

The amount is actually not very large, a 40% investment share. The reason why we can get so much is mainly because Shen Lang joined. His high pay also increased the overall investment.

Wu Jing originally estimated the investment for Wolf Warrior 2 to be around 150 million yuan. It was difficult to attract investment, mainly because no one was willing to spend their own money. If you use other people's money, you will lose money.

But Wu Jing was different. He actually raised tens of millions of dollars. Since he spent his own money, the investors believed that he would not take it lightly. He would pay the loss even if he lost. He still invested some money.

As for why Wu Jing didn't invest all of it, he didn't dare to. Who can guarantee that the movie will make a profit? Not to mention that this subject matter has not yet become popular, even the "囧" series has been popular. Xu Zheng of "Hong Kong囧" took away 80 million yuan in salary himself. He wants to earn it himself.

As for why the first film did okay at the box office but it was not so easy to raise funds for the second film, in fact, it was already very easy.

At that time, Wu Jing and Shen Lang were going to collaborate on "Big Shot" and they knew each other well, so Shen Lang invested 30 million. It's not that he couldn't invest more, but he didn't need that much.

The remaining shares can be divided among everyone. The investors in the first film and film investors like Deng Chao will not have much to share.

However, with Shen Lang's confirmed joining, Wu Jing also witnessed everyone's recognition of traffic.

When word got out that Shen Lang wanted to participate, a bunch of investors rushed to the scene. It was completely different from before, they all rushed in with money.

But it was useless. Shen Lang's salary was all included in the investment. The total investment reached 200 million. His personal salary was 50 million, which was quite reasonable. With Shen Lang joining, Wu Jing also had more confidence and didn't want to divide his share anymore.

The film pay of this era is at its peak. In fact, in comparison, Shen Lang earns more by filming TV series, but he is not very happy about it. When a movie has investment, it is much faster to earn than the film pay.

"We're just talking. By the way, there seems to be an opportunity. I heard from Mr. Han that he has contacted you for his new movie. He also asked me to do your work." Deng Chao said.

"There's this matter. I have a lot of work on hand. Let me finish it first." Shen Lang said.

"Right."

……

"Sister Lily, Xiao Yueyue, Sister Yan." Shen Lang greeted everyone he knew. It was really a group of acquaintances and they had all worked together before.

Of course, Zhang Yibai is also indispensable. He is the director. The two of them were not awkward at all, even though Shen Lang directly depressed the box office of the movie he produced.

"At that time, people on the Internet kept recommending me to play your role." Shen Lang chatted with Xiao Yueyue and Liu Yan.

"Everyone is joking." Liu Yan said.

"Actually, I have studied it. I have read the script. I have studied the car chase scene in the script." Shen Lang said with a smile.

His biggest impression of the movie was the pig-headed car chase.

"We have a shoot today, why don't you come over to chat in the evening?" Zhang Yibai's voice came, this is a good thing.

"Okay." Shen Lang also wanted to watch it live, his purpose was obvious.
