SWNOVELXO Chapter 1850 Seven Steps, Earning Billions
‘Everyone only saw thieves eating meat, but they didn’t see thieves being beaten. It’s not like no one has made a series of movies before. Most of them are just sequels, with poor results. There are very few people who are as prepared as Ding Ling. There is a reason why Ding Ling will succeed. If the series of movies wants to be successful, unless they learn the essence of Ding Ling, they will just copy the cat and imitate the tiger, and it will be difficult to achieve anything. ’
Someone's evaluation was very fair.
Most also have reservations about this.
Ding Ling is so successful.
Bringing up the entire film market.
Who is not moved, who doesn’t want to get a share of the pie.
But there are very few people with Ding Ling's strength.
Who can become the second Ding Ling?
I'm afraid it will be difficult.
Many major film companies are very jealous of Ding Ling's money-making efficiency, and they have tried to win over Ding Ling.
The conditions they offered were very generous:
"When you make a movie, you get a guaranteed base salary of RMB 30 million and a 20% share of the box office profits. This is very generous. Many big directors want such conditions. It is a fool's dream, but you have it. I hope you can do well. Think about it, we can have a pleasant cooperation experience. ”
How could Ding Ling agree?
They spoke again:
"Whether the movie is a success or not, we will give you this much. Or even more!"
Once Upon a Time has become his signature.
High-quality products will also be his signature.
How could he ruin his reputation by making a bad movie?
Therefore, recruitment of leaders by large companies is doomed to fail.
The bosses were disappointed when they were rejected.
Some bosses even came up with the idea of suppressing Ding Ling, but considering that Ding Ling's movies have been sold all over the world, is there any use in suppressing him now?
They don't issue it, some people do.
They don't show it in movie theaters, but some movie theaters will show it.
Distribution can make money, and cinemas also need to make money.
Ding Ling's Once Upon a Time is easy to sell, and the trend has picked up, so there is no use in suppressing it at this time.
Think clearly. Many teachers are helpless.
They are discussing in private:
"Ding Ling's rise is so fast that we can't even suppress him in time!"
'yes. If it were other superstars, as long as they showed signs of rising, if we suppressed them, they would usually succeed. But Ding Ling was filming too fast. It's only been two months, and three dramas have been released. And both dramas were huge hits. The third drama will be a big hit as expected. ’
‘No, the third one is already a big hit. 80 million on the first day. This is a very scary number! ’
‘Hey, this guy is amazing. How on earth did he do it. Can we recreate his legend? ’
‘It’s difficult, it’s as difficult as going up to the sky. This guy's martial arts is so good. No one can capture his elegance and naturalness. His action movies only have flavor if he does them himself. Believe it or not, with the same script, the same team, and a male protagonist replaced Ding Ling, the box office will definitely not be so high! ’
‘I believe this. It’s not like no one has ever made a kung fu movie. All these years. Many people are filming it, and some have become popular. But there are few that are as popular as Ding Ling and have become a hit all over the world. Not to mention that Ding Ling's hit movie is still seven parts, which is very scary! It's so inhumane! ’
…
When the bosses saw Ding Ling making so much money, it was like picking up money, and their eyes turned red with envy.
Ding Ling is just two movies, and the box office split alone is estimated to be at least five or six billion!
This is data that is known on the surface.
Foreign data are still rising.
The second movie hasn’t been released yet.
The third movie is still in theaters.
The fourth part is already filming.
No one dared to imagine how much money Ding Ling could earn.
‘This guy is too strong and invincible. ’
‘If you can’t beat it, join in! ’
'But it's a pity. This guy has no shortage of investment, he lives alone. ’
‘He who eats alone cannot get far. But he is an exception. Because it is useless for us to suppress him. Even if it is not released in Xiangcheng, it will be released in many countries such as Neon Country and Kimchi Country! Say it again. What if we, Xiangcheng, suppress him and drive him away? As far as I know, some people in mainland China are trying their best to invite Ding Ling to go north to make movies. Great to boost the local film industry! ’
‘Hey, I can’t beat you. I can’t beat you. Then let’s work in depth with Ding Ling. I hope to make some money through distribution, and the movie theaters will make more money. ’
Fortunately, for Ding Ling's movie, Ding Ling could only get about 30%.
The other 70% was given to them.
So although he is jealous of Ding Ling's 30% interest.
But Ding Ling is now in a situation where he can't harvest or suppress, so he can only compromise.
Everyone was very upset. They underestimated Ding Ling too much at first and did not suppress Ding Ling.
Who would have thought that Ding Ling would rise so quickly.
Just two months.
He became an East Asian superstar and even an international superstar!
After all, Ding Ling's movies have entered the European and American markets, so why can't he be considered an international superstar?
…
The fourth part of Once Upon a Time: The Iron Chicken Fights the Centipede.
On the fly.
The team has gone through three experiences.
The filming of the fourth part was also smooth sailing.
Everyone is also used to Ding Ling's high-intensity mode.
Moreover, as a director and leading actor, Ding Ling had to work overtime at night to edit and score music, and slept on the set every day. Ding Ling worked so hard, so what reason did they have to be lazy?
Everyone is very hardworking and serious.
This also led to the rapid progress of the scenes.
The fourth part was completed in just ten days.
Everyone was amazed.
Yin Tianchou and others were even more delighted and worshiped endlessly:
"I'm convinced. The director made the movie so fast. It was done in ten days. Just asking, who else is there?"
‘The time is short, the efficiency is high, and the product is of high quality! This makes other directors who have been filming movies for several years extremely embarrassed. ’
Ou Yaozu was also convinced:
"The filming of Once Upon a Time in Seven Parts is estimated to be over soon. After Once Upon a Time, Fang Shiyu's series will be filmed. Hehe. It's really too powerful. I like it!"
He played important supporting roles in three Once Upon a Time movies.
He also became famous.
Some people can recognize him when he is walking on the street. This feeling of becoming an angle is good and he enjoys it very much.
Besides, he is just an actor on the set. A movie can be shot in a few days and it is over without getting tired.
Compared to Ding Ling, he was very relaxed.
Of course, as an actor, Ou Yaozu also has very high pursuits. On the set, he will learn from Ding Ling about directing, editing, scoring, service, etc.
Yin Tianchou is also following suit.
Liu Piaopiao asked why.
They said:
"We take the class leader as our role model. The class leader can act, edit, and direct plays. We hope to become someone like the class leader one day in the future."
Liu Piaopiao can only say hard work.
She didn't have such big dreams. She would be satisfied if she could become an actor, become famous, and join Ding Ling in glory.
"The second part seems to have been released. I heard the total box office was 1.36 billion."
Liu Piaopiao's light words made Ou Yaozu and Yin Tianqiu's eyes light up.
‘Really or falsely? ’
'Of course it's true. It has exceeded one billion before. ’
'hiss. How much money does this cost? ’
‘This is only for East Asia. I heard that the second part has been released in America and Europe. It is estimated that the box office can still increase a lot. ’
‘I know this. The first film Once Upon a Time earned $60 million at the box office in foreign countries. I guess the second part will be even higher. It’s really unexpected. The first film has such a high box office. As expected of the class leader! ’
…
Everyone was excited.
After all, their honor is at stake.
The higher the box office, the more respect they gain.
Seven steps down.
Their fame can be imagined.
I have traveled all over the world to show my face.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are also international stars.
In this East Asia region, how many people are honored to go to the world to have their faces changed?
And they did it.
And it’s a total of seven parts!
This is so enjoyable!
They were naturally extremely grateful and admired Ding Ling.
…
Filming of the movie continues.
Most of Ding Ling's filming funds came from loans.
But because of his extremely high reputation and the visibly rising movie box office, the bank gave him a loan without any embarrassment.
On average, I shoot one movie every half a month.
It's propaganda.
It’s only about one movie in twenty days.
Seven parts.
That is more than four months, almost five months. Just finished filming.
This work is compiled and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
When the seven parts are done.
Ding Ling announced on the set:
"Once Upon a Time in the Seven Parts is finished. Everyone has a week off. In a week, the filming of the Fang Sai Yu series will begin. The two Fang Sai Yu films will be shot together."
"Long live the class leader."
After working continuously for more than five months, I can finally take a break.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
For more than five months, although there were breaks in between, the staff had to make preliminary preparations for the start of filming, but they worked overtime every day and had no time to rest. Now they can finally take a breath, and everyone is smiling.
What makes them most happy is that the bonuses have been distributed.
Yes.
The first and second parts of Ding Ling's Once Upon a Time series have already grossed more than 700 million at the box office!
There are quite a lot of prizes to be distributed to everyone.
Of course there are more actors.
Yin Tianchou, Ou Yaozu, Liu Piaopiao and others were all paid at least 500,000 yuan per film.
The first part is 500,000;
The second part is 800,000;
The third part is one million;
…
Ding Ling's salary increase for them is not too outrageous, it goes up step by step.
But after more than five months, their salary has risen to more than 2 million, which is the salary standard for first-tier superstars.
Mainland China's top stars only earn a few hundred thousand in salary.
It can be said that their salary is very high.
Any higher would be unreasonable.
In today's era, compared to later generations, star pay is not that terrible.
Of course, Ding Ling would not make a start and raise the market price.
This is where his movies can sell.
Some superstar movies only earn tens of millions at the box office, and they can be given a salary of two to three million, which is very high. Otherwise, the film company will lose money.
Movies made by these superstars can also earn hundreds of millions or even billions at the box office.
The film company would definitely be willing to pay them tens of millions, but unfortunately, the market has expanded in just five months.
But except for Ding Ling, there are still no directors or superstars who can sell movies throughout East Asia and even the world.
Ding Ling can be called the only seedling in Xiangcheng.
It can even be said without politeness.
expanded to the entire East Asia region.
Ding Lingdu can be called a unicorn-like existence.
No one can replicate him.
You can't become him.
The world recognized him as Huang Feihong.
Yes.
During this period, many film companies were extremely enthusiastic about seeing Huang Feihong.
Especially starting from the second part.
The box office of Once Upon a Time has never been lower than 1.3 billion.
Seven Parts Box Office.
The seventh part is still in theaters.
But the total box office has exceeded 10 billion! !
Plus knife music.
It has exceeded 13 billion! !
What a huge sum of money.
In today's society and era, it is enough to buy many listed companies.
How can this not make people jealous! !
Because of jealousy, many film companies have started filming Once Upon a Time.
Suddenly, the market was full of Once Upon a Time.
The Huang Feihong movies released by many movie companies are also very handsome, and their martial arts moves are also very beautiful.
But it just doesn’t have the flavor of Ding Ling, and their Once Upon a Time is just not a big hit.
Occasionally there are one or two Once Upon a Time movies that have outstanding plots, rhythms, visuals, etc., but they just don't do well.
The world only recognizes Ding Ling as Huang Feihong.
When other people come, they just copy the cat and imitate the tiger. The essence is hard to find, and they will naturally be disliked by the world.
The wave of Once Upon a Time came and went away just as quickly.
Seeing that they couldn't make any money, everyone naturally withdrew simply.
At the same time, everyone could not help but lament:
‘Why did Ding Ling earn billions from filming Once Upon a Time? Can't we? ’
They reflect and examine themselves.
In the end, we can only come to one conclusion: it's not that we are too weak, it's that Ding Ling is too strong and he is a monster. Let me ask you, who in the world can produce seven high-quality, best-selling movies in just five months? It’s so off the mark!
Ding Ling is making history and creating miracles.
The world can't reproduce it, it's normal.
The bosses and executives of the film company all gave in. Can't beat it, can't beat it. Let’s just make money from distribution and movie theaters honestly.
What made them quite happy was that Ding Ling only made movies and acted, and had nothing to do with distribution or movie theaters. Otherwise, they would not even have a chance to drink soup.
Of course this was Ding Ling's intention.
I made a lot of money.
Of course you have to give others a chance to drink soup.
Otherwise, if there is no benefit, who will help him with overwhelming publicity?
Everything in the world is for profit.
All the hustle and bustle in the world is for the benefit.
As long as it makes money, Ding Ling's movies can be sold all over the world.
Of course, he can also hypnotize and enchant others, but it is too weird for others to promote him without any benefit. If others find out, Ding Ling is not afraid, but he is worried about affecting his life experience and affecting his life. Liu Piaopiao's life progress.
Ding Ling stayed in this world just to experience the good. How could such a thing be done.
But it made billions.
Ding Ling has no intention of making any more movies.
After he finished filming Fang Shiyu, he would tailor-made movies for Zhou Xingxing, Ou Yaozu, Liu Piaopiao and others, making them popular and making the drama troupe truly the best in the world.
This was his original intention.
Just do it.
A week later.
Fang Shiyu started filming.
And Ding Ling's legend continues.
The news about him is overwhelming.
Star-chasing fans even rushed to the set, shouting Ding Ling's name loudly.
Major newspapers and periodicals also continued to report on various things about Ding Ling. (End of chapter)
