The reason why Hu Chu has not taken on filming movies for so many years is that he can't stand the current film market. Although he has not made it clear directly, what he wants to express is already very clear.

Hu Chu means that he has good acting skills, but good acting skills in the movie market are useless. Instead, those young and handsome guys who don’t have any acting skills are in charge, so he is lazy in taking on movies, which feels insulting his personality.

Today's movie is waiting for the opportunity. Whether there is a market after the movie is released is not a question he is concerned about. He just needs to play the role well. He will give the pay as much as he pays, and the market will decide for himself.

So in the end, this movie became the first real movie in Hu Chu's life. After hearing that he promised to shoot this movie, Li You couldn't stop laughing: "Hahahahaha... Welcome Mr. Hu to our crew!"

The others also clapped their hands symbolically and shouted a few words 666.

Hu Chu also responded politely: "You're welcome, happy cooperation!"

Su Yuanyuan took out the contract and said: "According to market data analysis, Hu Chu's movie pay should be 30 million. I wonder if you have any opinions!"

Everyone turned their attention to Xie Xiaoke because Hu Chu was his contracted artist.

Xie Xiaoke smiled laughed: "I have to ask Hu Chu himself!"

"Yes, Mr. Hu, you said!" Li Yougan asked.

Hu Ke nodded and smiled slightly: "Okay, that's 30 million!"

Su Yuanyuan volunteered to send Xie Xiaoke and Hu Chu out of the building and delivered it to the outside of the door. She said politely: "Mr. Xie, Brother Hu, are there any urgent matters now? Why don't I treat everyone to dinner!"

Hu Chu showed that charming smile again: "No, I have something to do when I go back, thank you!"

Su Yuanyuan insisted on keeping her and said, "Don't you be in a hurry? I'll finally see you, so let me do my best for the friendship of the landlord."

Hu Chu insisted on leaving: "There is really an urgent matter, otherwise how could I refuse the hospitality of a beautiful woman?"

"I'm joking, then I'll give me a chance next time!" Su Yuanyuan said aggrievedly, then turned to Xie Xiaoke: "What about you, Mr. Xie?"

Compared with Hu Cuo, Xie Xiaoke must be a more important person. Su Yuanyuan dared not neglect at all, but he was also in a hurry to go back. Hu Cuo felt embarrassed if he was not alone.

"I'll treat you another day if I have a chance, and I have to go back today!"

Su Yuanyuan put on a rare expression of grievance: "Ah, hey..."

After Hu Chu's matter was handled, it was equivalent to having the first formal cooperative relationship with Chengtian Entertainment in his peak era. Xie Xiaoke felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart, which took the first step for him to enter the entertainment industry to kill the young actors.

Although the background of this movie is in 1937, through the current high-tech rendering and special effects, it can completely create the effect of modern epic blockbusters, mainly depending on the performance of the actors and the level of post-production processing. However, Orange Entertainment is even more ruthless than Xie Xiaoke. It directly invites makeup artists and post-production teams to hire first-class international masters. This is not something that ordinary people can do. In addition to money, they also need connections. Perhaps Xie Xiaoke may not be able to invite those international masters.

If we can recognize these internationally renowned teams during this cooperation with Orange Sky Entertainment, it will also be helpful for the later development of our peak era.

As long as Hu Cuo is put in, the other actor Xie Xiaoke will no longer ask, because there are three other investment companies, and it is not difficult for them to choose a few veteran actors.

Now Xie Xiaoke is all in his mind. He will not stick to others just because he works with Chengtian Entertainment. When Su Yuanyuan is beautiful, she is always attached to others. At the end of May, "Bean Break the Sky" was updated on Oriental TV for 3 episodes every night, and all 60 episodes were announced. Xie Xiaoke anxiously went to the company to check the box office of the previous "Mu Shenji 1" and the current "Bean Break the Sky" income. Which one is more profitable than that!

The box office of the movie is quite dead. As long as it is in the cinema, it can basically stop making profits. "The Legend of the Wood God 1" has been released for a total of 2 months. It has won the box office championship so far in 2022 of 3.98 billion, second only to Wolf Warrior 2, and has caused a sensation on the Internet for several months.

The box office champion of mainland movies is still the year's "Wolf Warrior 2", but the investment is only a few hundred million yuan, while the investment cost of "Mu Shenji 1" is about 1.27 billion yuan. After comparing it, I realized that this movie is not very successful.

However, "Mu Shen Ji 1" has also won the second place in the mainland's total box office, and has been recognized and praised by netizens.

Only 40% of the box office of this 3.98 billion yuan was from my peak, which was about 1.792 billion yuan. After deducting taxes, the final income was 1.2 billion yuan.

At first glance, the box office is so high, netizens think it's very profitable, but they don't know it. When they calculate, they are scared and screamed. This calculation result is actually a loss for ordinary companies, which means that they have invested so much money here and lost 70 million in the end.

If the finance department had not taken out the detailed accounts, Xie Xiaoke would not have known what he was doing now. He was still in his dream and needed someone with ability to wake him up.

When he saw those movies that were sold at box office, Xie Xiaoke felt that these movies would definitely make money, especially entertainment companies, which would definitely make money. When he saw Mu Shenji's box office, he thought he would definitely make money. He didn't make more than one billion, but at least a few hundred million would definitely make money. After all, the box office of tens of billions is there. If he didn't make money, where would the money go?

But in the end, I didn't expect that this result was so unacceptable.

Now I really realize how difficult it is for a film company to make money. Xie Xiaoke's investment in this movie is mainly focused on special effects. If the money for the special effects is removed and the cast is controlled, the approximately cost is about 1.2 billion yuan. Then the final special effects may not be that good-looking, and the box office will probably drop, but at least it can guarantee that there will be no loss.

After this analysis, Xie Xiaoke finally understood the truth.

Why is there no company in China that has a population of 1.4 billion and 9.6 million square kilometers of land willing to make high-quality movies? Because it is really not profitable, the company will go bankrupt and cannot continue to make movies. Then we have no movies to watch. So in order to maintain the development of the company, some companies may choose to focus on commercial films and occasionally shoot high-quality works, so that they can not only make money, but also not be criticized by the audience for being worthless.
