In 2007, Huang Baiming found 100 million yuan of investment to prepare for the filming of "Ip Man", he looked for Jet Li, asking for 100 million, looking for Jackie Chan, asking for 7000W.
The salaries of these two kung fu superstars have caught up with the total investment. Because these two superstars are famous in Hollywood, so the film remuneration is so high, Huang Baiming had to find a local kung fu star.
Zhen Zidan was somewhat famous in those two years with "Kill the Wolf" and "Fuse", and once had a rivalry with Jet Li in "Huang Feihong".
Huang Baiming was also very famous at that time, and when he was a director, he made popular series movies such as "Best Partner", "Happy Ghost", "Happy Family Affair" and most of the superstars.
Huang Baiming is now a producer of "Ip Man", and the actors are very kind to him. When he called Zhen Zidan, Zhen Zidan immediately promised to be interested and met to talk in detail.
When Zhen Zidan learned the script of "Ip Man", he had already written two or three sequels. Zhen Zidan saw the opportunity and quoted a low price of 300W. Huang Baiming saw that he was so sincere and the price was so low, and immediately signed a contract with Zhen Zidan.
It turns out that Huang Baiming and Zhen Zidan have good visions, and "Ip Man" was very popular as soon as it was released. "Ip Man" has become Zhen Zidan's biggest masterpiece, with a high reputation and a sharp rise in remuneration. The investor paid the film according to the market price, and then filmed "Ip Man 2" and "Ip Man 3".
In 2018, when Huang Baiming asked Zhen Zidan to shoot "Ip Man 4", his remuneration was as high as 3000W. When Huang Baiming proposed 3000W, Zhen Zidan refused.
Zhen Zidan directly said to Huang Baiming, after 3 "Ip Man", you have made billions. If I want to star in "Ip Man 4" again, the film will be paid 100 million yuan and 10% of the box office share.
Ip Man, played by Zhen Zidan, has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and if "Ip Man 4" changes the protagonist, the box office and word of mouth may collapse. In the end, it was about 100 million films plus 5% of the box office share.
In the interview, Huang Baiming also talked about the topic of film remuneration. He said that he would not give 100 million, more than 100 million, but Huang Baiming also emphasized the value.
"Ip Man 4" eventually took more than 1.2 billion at the box office, no wonder Huang Baiming said it was worth it.
