Lu Chen chatted with his sister for an hour and a half before going to bed. The two siblings had a good relationship and could talk about everything together, although they often quarreled.

Early the next morning, Lu Chen and the others went to the film and television shooting base in Huacheng. Chen Chuan's once again directing made people full of curiosity. Many people wanted to know what kind of movie this was.

Although it was just an ordinary audition, many well-known actors came because of Chen Chuan's promotion. Of course, some of them came with other purposes.

Seeing that there were more people at the audition site than the last time he auditioned for Princess Diaoman, Lu Chen was a little confused. What did this Chen Chuan do? Why did so many people come?

At this time, a handsome-looking man came to Chen Chuan, and his appearance caused a commotion in the crowd.

After seeing this person, Chen Chuan asked doubtfully: "Sun Kai, are you filming nearby?"

Sun Kai is a well-known actor and one of the most popular celebrities today. Chen Chuan did not think that he came to audition. After all, Chen Chuan said from the beginning that the salary they would give was relatively low, so they would use new actors.

As for big stars like Sun Kai, their salary is at least RMB 80 million, and they will not accept any film or television drama that is less than this amount.

Sun Kai smiled and said, "Director Chen, I'm here to audition too."

Hearing this, Chen Chuan was stunned.

Is this guy just kidding him?

Chen Chuan said in disbelief: "You'd better stop joking. I'm making a small movie. I'm afraid the movie cost won't be enough to hire you."

Chen Chuan often works with big stars like Sun Kai, so he naturally knows their salary requirements.

To be honest, although Sun Kai is a popular star and he also belongs to the category of young fresh meat, his acting skills are definitely not bad. If he can play the leading actor in "Westward Journey", Chen Chuan would welcome it in his heart, but Chen Chuan

If the music company wants to control the cost of the film, there is definitely no way to hire this person, or it can be said that they cannot afford it.

Sun Kai smiled, glanced at Lu Chen next to Chen Chuan, and then continued: "Director Chen, I'm not kidding you."

"If the cost of the movie is not enough, I can bring money into the group."

Hearing this, Chen Chuan frowned. He could see that Sun Kai was serious, but why did he do this?

In the past, the production crew spent exorbitant amounts of money to hire big stars like Sun Kai, but today Sun Kai took the initiative to come to him.

"I want to know why you want to make this movie." Chen Chuan asked.

"I believe that the films that Director Chen wants to make are carefully selected by Director Chen, and I also believe in Director Chen's vision."

"Secondly, our company heard that the screenwriter of this drama is Chen Lu, the screenwriter of Princess Diaoman. As you know, Princess Diaoman is so popular. This shows the strength of this screenwriter. Our company is also optimistic about this movie.

"

"In addition, I personally would like to collaborate with Miss Shiyin once."

After hearing these three reasons, Lu Chen took a look at Sun Kai.

He actually couldn't stand this pretty boy.

Moreover, he always felt that this guy was here for Shiyin.

At this time, Chen Chuan spoke again: "The biggest problem with this movie is not the investment, but that Director Lu wants to control costs and does not allow the director and actors to bring money into the film, so the actors' remuneration cannot be high."

Sun Kai was stunned when he heard Chen Chuan say that he was not allowed to bring money into the group. At first, he thought that Chen Chuan was going to make a movie with a new company that he had never heard of before because Chen Chuan brought money.

Yes, after all, a small company like this doesn't have that much money to invest in a movie. Unexpectedly, Chen Chuan didn't bring the capital to join the group.

After all, Chen Chuan is an experienced actor and a well-known director today. Although his salary is not as high as that of a young actor, it is not far behind that of a popular star. Can this small company alone afford his salary?

Or did they sign a contract that was settled after the film was paid?

Nowadays, many companies have adopted this method. Some companies have invested in a movie, but they don’t have so much money for the time being, so they sign a contract with the star to delay the settlement of the film. After the movie is released, the investor will get the money before giving the money.

Celebrity pay.

Of course, this is of no benefit to most traffic Mingxin. After all, no one knows what the box office situation will be like. If the movie fails and the investors do not recover the cost, it is very likely that the stars' salaries will be delayed for a long time.

Time, so most popular celebrities will make movies first after seeing money.

If Chen Chuan and Chenyin Company have signed a contract for delayed payment settlement, it means that he is very optimistic about this movie, which further intensifies Sun Kai's desire to make this movie.

"Let's do this. Let's sign a contract. After the movie is released, you can pay me more, and my salary can be slightly reduced." Sun Kai suggested.

Hearing this, Chen Chuan turned to look at Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, what do you think?"

To be honest, Chen Chuan thinks that Sun Kai is very suitable to play the male lead in the movie "Journey to the West", but previously he had to consider Sun Kai's sky-high salary, which Chenyin could not provide in the early stage, but now Sun Kai has proposed that his salary can be paid by the movie

If it is paid after it is released, then there is no need to worry that Chen Yin cannot afford Sun Kai's sky-high salary. Chen Chuan is still very willing to believe that this "Westward Journey" can be a box office hit and the cost can be recovered no matter how bad it is.

However, it all depends on whether Lu Chen is willing or not. After all, some people in this industry hate Xiao Xianrou's sky-high salary.

It just so happens that Lu Chen is the kind of person who hates the sky-high salary for young actors.

Lu Chen thought for a moment and then asked: "Mr. Sun Kai, what is your minimum salary?"

Sun Kai smiled, then raised his right hand and opened his palm.

Lu Chen asked doubtfully: "Fifty thousand?"

Hearing this, Chen Chuan and Sun Kai were both stunned. This guy really didn't understand the market, or he was joking with them. I'm afraid he couldn't even hire an 18th-tier actor with 50,000 yuan.

After Sun Kai reacted, he still said with a smile on his face: "Director Lu, you are so funny, fifty thousand is not enough for me to spend a day."

Lu Chen thought for a while and continued to ask: "Then half a million?"

Lu Chen thought to himself, Chen Chuan, an experienced actor and a director, only gave him a salary of 500,000 yuan. You, a little kid, 500,000 yuan is not enough.

After hearing what Lu Chen said, Sun Kai realized that Lu Chen really didn't understand the market. His expression changed slightly, but he still kept smiling.

"Director Lu, I'm afraid half a million won't be enough to hire a third-tier star, right?" Sun Kai said.

Seeing that the other party still thought it was too little, Lu Chen frowned and said again: "Five million is the final price. If it is more, I'm afraid our other shareholder of Chenyin Company will not agree."

Sun Kai said speechlessly: "Director Lu, Director Chen's salary can't be more than five million, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen showed a smile and said, "No, Director Chen's salary is five hundred thousand."
