Superstars In Parallel Time and Space

Chapter 659 Xiangjiang-style movie

"Brother Mubai, Mr. Luo from Xiangjiang has something to ask for you!"

While everyone was chatting happily, Yang Guo received a call, went out to answer it, and said to Chen Mubai after returning.

"Luo Fan?" Lu Fang was puzzled.

"What does he want from you?" Qian Duoduo and the others looked at Chen Mubai suspiciously.

The relationship between Luo Fan and Chen Mubai has always been good, and he even gave Mubai Entertainment some help before, and he can be regarded as one of the few people in the circle who has a relationship with Chen Mubai.

This time, Luo Fan suddenly approached Chen Mubai, and everyone was curious about the reason.

Is it an invitation song again?

It seems that there is nothing else except this. The last time I invited Chen Mubai to make a theme song for "Seven Heroes", the response was very good at that time.

This song is still on the charts of Xiangjiang Music, and many martial arts film and television dramas have come to discuss copyright matters.

"Don't look at me, I don't know." Chen Mubai shrugged.

Luo Fan still called him during the Spring Festival, wishing him a happy new year and a big hit for the movie.

And in the movie theater in Xiangjiang, with his help, the filming of "The Master of Hypnotism" has improved a bit. Luo Fan's help to him is still quite great.

Chen Mubai does not deny this point, he has a good impression of Luo Fan.

A real self-made boss who is willing to show kindness to him, as long as he is not stupid, it is impossible for him not to maintain a friendly relationship with the other party.

In the entertainment industry, this relationship is the most important.

In addition to benefits, it is this kind of payment that can help.

Although there are interests in their friendship, it is much better than those who just talk about how good the relationship is, but actually can't help at all, at least they really help.

"I'll call him back, you guys continue." Chen Mubai took the phone from Yang Guo, and was about to go out and make a phone call.

Since Luo Fan said to look for him, there must be something wrong, and he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything.

Bosses of their level have a lot of ordinary things to do, and they seldom find someone to chat with.

"Brother Luo, I heard you were looking for me?"

The phone call was made, and after the call was connected, Chen Mubai smiled heartily.

"Brother, are you having a celebration banquet!" Luo Fan also laughed.

The total box office of "Master of Hypnotism" is 1.7 billion. It is definitely a big-selling movie. It is a very successful movie in any company. It is very normal to hold a celebration banquet.

"According to my brother's auspicious words, the box office is indeed good."

Luo Fan was a little speechless, just good?

This is too calm, but compared to the box office of his first two movies, it is true that Chen Mubai did not blame Chen Mubai for saying that, the box office of the first two movies was higher, and this one is indeed the worst one relatively speaking, barely " Not so good."

People are more popular than people!

"There are infinite possibilities when you are young, especially for talented people like you, the future is your world." Luo Fan said with emotion.

The rise of Chen Mubai is bound to have a huge impact on the existing film market, and perhaps the younger generation of actors and directors will step onto the stage one after another.

The young people represented by Chen Mubai are full of talents. Many companies have begun to pay attention to the ability of young director talents, and decided to give them some opportunities to try, hoping to have a second "Chen Mubai".

You don't need to be so good, as long as you can achieve results.

If the movie's box office was given to Luo Fan, he would definitely not be able to be so calm.

After all, it's a big-selling movie. As an investor, the main actors are also owned by their company, so it's a huge profit!

In addition to one-third of the film's total box office, the director's box office share + remuneration and actors' remuneration are all a large sum of money.

Individual remuneration is not included in the company's money, but there is also a sharing agreement between the individual and the company, so the more stars earn personally, the more revenue the company gets.

Although the box office of "Master of Hypnotism" only ranked third, but in terms of revenue,

The production companies of the top two movies didn't get as much profit as Mubai Entertainment!

After all, not all investment is made by the entertainment company where the star is located. There are many film and television dramas that are invested by investors, and then invite directors and actors to star in them. Everyone is not necessarily a community of interests.

"Brother Luo, why are you looking for me?"

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Chen Mubai began to get into the topic.

Luo Fan didn't seem like someone who had time to chat. Since he called to find him, he must have something to do, but he might be too embarrassed to speak because of the previous song invitation, so Chen Mubai took the initiative to ask.

"Well, you know the movie "Gunfight", right?" Luo Fan hummed.

"I know, it's a movie in the Spring Festival file."

"This movie was produced by our Xiangjiang." Luo Fan sighed: "The box office of the movie is not ideal, basically it is a loss."

This movie ranked seventh in the Spring Festival file, with a box office of only about 200 million yuan, and the key production cost reached 100 million yuan, which is basically a loss.

In the follow-up, it depends on whether the sales of movie discs and online platforms can recover a little more blood, otherwise it will be a blood loss.

"In the past two years, Hong Kong's film industry has been in decline, and many Hong Kong films have failed. The latest blockbuster film is "Seven Heroes". I thought it was a time of revival, but I didn't expect it to be a flashback." Luo Fan laughed at himself.

Not only Times Media, but several other entertainment companies in Hong Kong did not perform well at the box office. There were very few big-selling films. Basically, the balance of payments was good, and many of them lost money.

Xiangjiang's actors are also very stratified. Basically, the older generation of filmmakers dominate the market, and the new generation is difficult to get ahead, and their strength is not enough.

The older generation are all superstars. They are paid a lot for acting in movies, but their appeal to the audience is limited.

With the rise of the mainland's film and television industry, audiences have become more fond of young traffic stars, which has made Xiangjiang's film and television industry difficult.

Xiangjiang is in a situation where the old and the young are not accepted, but if there are no old stars to play, no one will watch it, so it is in a dilemma.

Many stars have come to the mainland to find a way out, only some people are still sticking to the traditional Xiangjiang-style movies, and don't want Xiangjiang's movie style to become history.

Chen Mubai didn't speak, and listened quietly to Luo Fan's words.

"I'm looking for you this time. I really want to trouble you with one thing. I hope you can make a film with Xiangjiang style." Luo Fan said: "I'll come to invest, and you can invest if you want. Try to find actors." Stars in Xiangjiang, you can pick a few I want to leave a memory for myself, it can be regarded as the last glory."

The reason why Luo Fan said to invest in him is because he is afraid that Chen Mubai will take risks. After all, Xiangjiang-style movies are not popular now, and if he invests, he may lose money. That's why he said so.

But if Chen Mubai wants to invest, it's not impossible, but Luo Fan is thinking for his sake, after all, the current recession.

Of course, whether Chen Mubai will agree or not is another matter, this matter is actually a bit difficult to handle.

"You can think about it. It doesn't matter if you don't want to. Hong Kong movies are indeed on the decline now." Luo Fan said.

"I had no way to find you. I am the president of the Xiangjiang Film Association. I always want to make some contributions to this industry. If you agree, no matter what the box office of the movie you make, I can arrange the most movies for you. , in the future your works will be screened in Xiangjiang, and this will always be the case."

Luo Fan is the chairman of the Hong Kong Film Association. This time, he asked Chen Mubai to make a Hong Kong film and wanted to reproduce its glory. What he valued was his ability.

This incident is also known to some giants in the Hong Kong entertainment industry. They hope to open up Hong Kong's film industry again through Chen Mubai's influence, so that everyone can see that there is still a future for Hong Kong films. Maybe they can use this wave of rhythm to wake up Hong Kong's sluggish movies. market.

Therefore, everyone found Luo Fan together and proposed this idea.

Of course, this matter is really difficult to do, and it will also make it difficult for Chen Mubai, so they will promise a huge benefit to Chen Mubai, hoping that he can help.

In other words, no matter what work Chen Mubai will shoot in the future, as long as it is released, everyone will give the highest treatment in the Hong Kong market, which is still a great benefit.

Xiangjiang's box office contribution can also be around 100 million. This is the number one movie. After all, Xiangjiang's land is not large and the audience is limited. It is already very good for a film in the same period to get this result.

Unless it can be better and sweep the same period, then it can go up a bit.

But it is basically impossible, unless the production team + cast is strong, and the movie is extremely good, completely crushing the movies of the same period, it can be done.

"In the future, the films will be able to get the largest screenings in the land of Xiangjiang, which is a great temptation." Chen Mubai thought.

Although in the future, if his films are released in Xiangjiang, the screening rate may not be low, but if he competes with foreign blockbusters, he may be even worse.

And if he made a movie, it would be equivalent to helping Xiangjiang's film industry now, and they would all be grateful to him, which is a good deal.

"Okay, I agree." After thinking about it, Chen Mubai agreed.

"Really!?" Luo Fan was surprised.

"Have you stopped thinking about it?"

Luo Fan really didn't expect Chen Mubai to agree so decisively. Although it seems that the temptation of this benefit is great, it is quite difficult.

In particular, Chen Mubai is currently on the rise in his career. Once his next movie hits the market, there will be a lot of doubts from outside. After all, he has been succeeding now, and many people are waiting for him to fail. For his current reputation , the impact is still there.

Compared with Xiangjiang's film screening rate, the temptation is great, but it is a bit tasteless.

Luo Fan thought that Chen Mubai would think carefully before replying, but he didn't expect him to agree so straightforwardly, which caught him off guard.

"Think about it, Brother Luo." Chen Mubai said with a smile.

"Actually, I also liked watching Xiangjiang movies when I was a child. I hope that one day I can make works with the same taste. Now that I have this opportunity, I want to try it."

Luo Fan said: "Thank you, we will try our best to cooperate with your work, if you have any needs, just let me know, I will definitely meet them!"

Luo Fan only took it as Chen Mubai's excuses, how could it be such a coincidence, he came to the door, and the other party said that he just wanted to make this type of film, it was too coincidental, so it could only be an excuse, but it really moved him.

Since Chen Mubai agreed, then he will definitely try his best to cooperate with him and do his best, so that Chen Mubai has no worries and solves his problems.
