His blood gauge, which was already almost empty, was full again.

The next morning, Du Caige was full of energy.

First, I inspected Li Minjun's fighting scenes, and unexpectedly found that Li Minjun is quite talented in this area.

Although it's just embroidered fists and legs, but the fight is much better than Liu Yuyan and Du Yuqi.

He has only studied for a day!

Sure enough, some geniuses are destined to make others mad.

Movement director Zhao Zhekun told Du Caige in private: "This girl must have dance skills before, and she should have practiced taekwondo, and knows how to make good moves. And she is very savvy, she will memorize everything she teaches. After imitating it two or three times, it can be done decently."

Du Caige nodded and corrected his small mistake: "Li Minjun is a man."

Zhao Zhekun looked at Du Caige in surprise, with an expression of "For the sake of you being the director, I don't want to argue with you", "Okay, you say yes."

"It's not that I said yes, he is. Didn't you see when he came to the set the day before yesterday?"

"Okay, okay, it's a man. Don't talk about this, let me tell you, Li Minjun's body flexibility and flexibility are much stronger than Xin Wan, you hand her over to me, and I will train her for three weeks to ensure that she can play the best. Nice effect."

Du Caige calculated that there should be enough time. "Let me talk to him. He didn't even sign the contract. He was just asked to play tricks. I didn't expect to find a treasure."

When talking about the contract with Li Minjun, he said: "No contract, it doesn't matter, just give me a red envelope if you look at it."

"That's not okay. This movie is very formal, and the financial aspects must be transparent and auditable. As one of the main actors, you must naturally pay your salary and pay taxes for you."

"I'm just performing in friendship, just give me a dollar."

"You have to sign a contract for a dollar! And we are friends, how can I cheat you. You play such an important role, the salary must not be too small. It doesn't matter if you don't know how to negotiate, you don't have an agent? I let the company Send you a lawyer to help you review the contract. Don't worry, it will be soon."

"It's really unnecessary..." Li Minjun said distressedly, "I'm afraid of trouble, and now I'm not short of money."

He said he was not short of money, and Du Caige believed it.

But no matter how there is no shortage of money, it is not possible to push out the hundreds of thousands of salary.

Yes, Du Caige will not offer Li Minjun a high salary, at most hundreds of thousands, never more than one million.

It's not that I look down on Li Minjun's ability, nor is it reluctant.

It's just that Li Minjun is still a rookie after all, there is no reason to offer him a high salary.

Then, for the rest of the day, Du Caige led the crew to shoot all the scenes in this location.

After a day off, the crew had to rush to the next location.

And Du Caige is going to take Tian Ying to the Hotan Awards Gala. When he returns to the crew, Liu Pengfei should also leave the retreat and return to the crew. It will be a good time to see the results of Liu Pengfei's retreat.

As a result, at the Hetian Awards Gala, Tian Ying regrettably missed the best cinematography, and Du Caige was shortlisted for the best new director, but failed to win the award in the end.

"Old Boy" was shortlisted for "Best New Director", "Best Editing", "Best Music", "Best Screenplay", "Best Makeup", "Best Small and Medium Cost Feature Film" and other awards.

Finally won the "Best Editing" and "Best Music".

Among them, "Best Music" is what everyone expects, and "Best Editing" should be compensation for Du Caige's loss of Best Newcomer Director and Best Editing.

In addition, the film also won a "Best Small and Medium-Budget Feature Film".The gold content of this award is not enough, but in the case of not winning the "Best Feature Film", this award can be regarded as a consolation.

What made Du Caige the most amusing was that he personally won the "Best Performing Newcomer Award".

In fact, he often forgets that he is the leading actor in "Old Boy"...

As a director, it is a bit subtle that he won the award for actor before he won the award for director.

Du Caige was not discouraged either.

Best new director, he didn't care about this award at all, it didn't matter whether he won it or not.

Moreover, "martial arts" is when I really exert my strength.

Wait until next year's awards season, and see what "Wulin" can achieve.

During the entire awards show, Du Caige kept a low profile.

But the reporters didn't let him go.

He's been hiding out making movies, so long out of the spotlight that journalists desperately need to wring something out of him.

It can also be seen from this that Du Caige, as a behind-the-scenes creator, actually has a passion that is not commensurate with his status.

Ordinary behind-the-scenes creators, reporters will not chase after them.

"How does Xin Wan's matter affect the crew?"

"How is the filming going?"

"It is said that the crew's funds are stretched, is it true?"

"Can your movie be released in time for the summer?"

"Director Shu's body miraculously recovered in a short period of time. He hastily started filming his new film 'Master Admiral', which was invested by Tianyi Entertainment and others for 4 million. According to him, this new film will also be released in the summer. Hemingway , do you think this is a provocation to you?"

Du Caige laughed off the previous question and dealt with it casually.

But facing this issue with Shu Yihuan, Du Caige is still more cautious.

"I don't think it's a provocation. It's normal that every director wants to fight for the summer film. I wish Director Shu can make a good movie and get a box office that suits his status. Of course, I will work hard to fight for it. I will gain something in next year’s summer vacation.”

Chapter 600 My Stress Is Less Than Dao Shu

Du Caige's answer like that was actually malicious.

You, Director Shu, have to get a box office that matches your status.

What is your identity?The top five directors in China.

Although no serious media would go out of their way to rank the directors.

But everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.

You director Shu Yihuan, for a film with an investment of over 4 million, it is unqualified to get a global box office of 10 billion. It can only be regarded as barely completing the task if it gets a box office of 15 billion. It is just so-so when it gets a box office of 20 billion. It fits your identity.

The 25 billion global box office is equivalent to almost more than 10 billion US dollars, and it can enter the top 30 box office list of world film history.

But this is in line with your status as the director of Shu Yihuan, right?

As for me, I'm a rookie director, and as long as my films don't lose money, they are qualified.

If you can make a little money, it will be a pleasant surprise.

Of course, it is not easy for "Wulin" to make money.

After all, Du Caige estimated that the total cost of this movie is not low.

It was originally estimated that it would be around 3.5 million to 4 million.

And this data has long been leaked out, and the media basically knows it.

According to the usual practice, the box office usually has to reach 3 times the cost in order to protect the capital.

That is, you need to get a box office of 10.5 billion to 12 billion in order to protect your capital.

"So Director Hemingway, are you confident to get 12 billion at the box office? We all feel that you are under a lot of pressure."

"No, actually I'm under little pressure. Because the cost of this movie is much lower than you imagined." Du Caige told the reporters solemnly.

First of all, now that the previous four main actors have all left, and it is not the crew who fired them, but they left voluntarily or broke the contract for other reasons, thus saving a lot of salary.

For example, Qu Hong alone had to pay him more than 2000 million after-tax remuneration, and the crew had to spend a total of more than 3000 million.

After all four actors left, they saved the crew 9000 million in expenses, which was enough for Du Caige to finish filming the movie, so he said that he wanted to pay back the money to GS Co., Ltd. in advance.

If you go to claim compensation from Xin Wan, you can earn millions more.

Of course, Du Caige didn't intend to do such an extreme job.

It is impossible for Xin Wan to stand up, and the companies she endorsed will all seek compensation from her.

Basically, it is impossible to pay her back after selling her.

If Du Caige still claims compensation from her, it will really force her to death.

Have to be forgiving and forgiving.

The total expenditure of this movie so far, on the one hand, Shu Yihuan's salary was paid in full in order to let him leave honestly without any fuss.

Then there is the "Wudang Palace Group", where 1.1 million has been spent.

It is impossible to get that money back.

Of course, the Wudang palace complex is now Du Caige's private property, and Du Caige bought it.

In addition, a lot of money was spent during the filming process.

Especially when Shu Yihuan was leading the crew, the cost of staying in the hotel alone was quite a fortune.

Therefore, the current total expenditure of the "Wulin" crew, if the "Wudang Palace Group" is excluded, it would be about 7000 million.

When Du Caige persuaded Shu Yihuan to quit, the crew had incurred a cost of 1.7 million.

Including the 1.1 million of the Wudang Palace Group, the expenses incurred during the filming period, and the first installment payment to the actors and directors, rather than a one-time payment.

Now the salaries of the four actors have been refunded, and they even paid a liquidated damages.

But Shu Yihuan's salary was paid in one lump sum.

Plus the expenses incurred during the filming of Du Caige.

The actual cost incurred is 1.8 million.

As for the ownership of the Wudang Palace Group, "I bought that one personally, and I plan to turn it into a film and television base."

Of course, I plan to suspend work temporarily, and when I have money, I will repair a little bit every year. According to the original plan, I will gradually build it into a film and television base.

To build the Wudang palaces into a film and television base, he will continue to invest 1520 billion yuan in the future. Of course, it is impossible to take out the money immediately, but he can still afford it in a few years.

"That is to say, the expenses of the Wudang Palace Group are not included in the cost of the crew."

In that case, the total cost incurred so far is 7000 million equipment rental, Shu Yihuan's salary, daily expenses, prop production, venue rental, subsequent shooting, post-production, actors' and staff's salary, and publicity expenses. The plan is 80009000 million.

The crew had just enough money in their books.

Then the total cost of "Wulin" should be 1.51.6 million on the premise that Du Caige will not let himself go and can control expenses.

"Because of the movie, the director is very excited, and he often burns money without restraint. I have to reflect on myself. I am actually one of the members who have no restraint. I always want to make the movie more beautiful, more exciting, and special effects better. Be more realistic, what money, don’t talk about money with me. Most directors have this problem,” Du Caige laughed at himself, “That’s why producers are needed to restrain directors.”

"If the cost is 1.6 million, it needs 4.8 million global box office to protect the capital. Of course, I will first get back a little blood by placing advertisements."

"So in fact, it is estimated that as long as it gets a global box office of 3.64 million, one of the personal martial arts of Dragon Snake will be able to protect its capital."

"That's right, it seems right." The reporters were not stupid, and they couldn't be easily fooled.

The point is, there is really nothing wrong with Du Caige's algorithm.

The point of controversy is whether the "Wudang Palace Group" should be included in the movie.

Zhengfang believes that since Hemingway did not need the Wudang Palaces in the filming of this movie, and he had the money to buy the Wudang Palaces, of course it can not be included in the cost of the movie.

The opposing side believes that the construction cost of the Wudang palace complex is real, and it was originally built for filming.You can't just say that it's not cost.

In general, there are still more positive people.

"So, in fact, my pressure is much less than that of Shu Dao, right?"

"That's right, that's right"

Naturally, Du Caige will not continue to tangle with the reporters on this issue.

To put it bluntly, he and Shu Yihuan did not have a deep hatred.There were conflicts before, but it has been said.

Right now, they still have a little bit of a hard time with each other.

Shu Yihuan wanted to stab him whenever he could, and he naturally wanted to retaliate.

But it really won't make a big fuss.

Not that necessary.

If you don't like it, you will become the enemy of life and death.

So he quickly changed the subject and talked about all aspects of the crew, shooting and casting.

There are some things that are naturally kept secret, such as the plot.

But there are also some news that can be released in an appropriate place, so that the movie will never escape the attention of the mainstream and maintain a certain degree of popularity.
