In short, it is right for the father-in-law to say something to the public, and it is right for the mother-in-law to say it to her mother-in-law.

Of course, the conflicts between Feng Xiaogang, Zong Shuai, and Cao Jun were not brought to the table, let alone openly quarreled.

After all, both parties are respectable people. As long as there is no deep hatred between each other, it is within the acceptable range.

However, in Zong Shuai's view, Feng Xiaogang was too much of a bully. Relying on the fact that he was Huayi's biggest contributor, he directly ignored Cao Jun's commercial value and wanted Cao Jun to help him film for three to five months with a low salary.

.

As the leader of Huayi's Third Studio and Cao Jun's agent, Zong Shuai refused to agree to anything.

There are reasons why Zong Shuai dares to do this, because in Huayi now, major studios are responsible for their own profits and losses, and he needs to be directly responsible for the profits and losses of the studios.

As for the Third Studio run by Zong Shuai, Cao Jun is the well-deserved leader. The total income of the entire Third Studio mainly relies on Cao Jun's output.

If Cao Jun spent three to five months filming the movie "Assembly" and only made less than 1 million, it would be a huge blow to the entire studio's annual income.

Even if the other party was Huayi's head director, someone whom brothers Huang Zhongjun and Huang Zhonglei wanted to coax, Zong Shuai would definitely not agree.

Commander Zong asked Cao Jun: "Xiao Cao, are you afraid of offending Director Feng?"

Cao Jun said disapprovingly: "I'm not afraid. There's nothing to be afraid of. We didn't do anything wrong. It was him who bullied others first." "It's just to play the second male lead. Let alone 1 million, just ask me to play it for 3 million."

, I have to think about it carefully."

Seeing that Cao Jun and himself were standing on a united front, Zong Shuai nodded happily, smiled and praised: "Xiao Cao, you have the backbone, you are right to think so, we can't spoil him."

"However, based on my understanding of Director Feng, he will not give up so easily. He will definitely make some moves."

Cao Jun asked in confusion: "What? Does he still want to ban me?'

Zong Shuai denied with a smile: "That's not the case. After all, we are from the same company. We can't see you when you look up. My personal guess is that he should ask Director Huang or Mr. Huang to ask these two brothers to do your ideological work."

."

"Remember, if either of them comes to you and talks about "Assembly", you cannot agree to him, and you must not be soft-hearted."

"Unless they are willing to increase your salary from 1 million to more than 3 million, there is no need to negotiate!"

"No matter how good the film "Assembly" is, it is only the director Feng Xiaogang who benefits, or the leading actor Zhang Hanyu. As the second male lead in the movie, the benefits you can get are extremely limited."

Cao Jun nodded: "You know, handsome guy, I won't let myself suffer. As long as the money is not in place, I will never let go.

Sure enough, on the third day after chatting with Zong Shuai, Huang Zhongjun made an appointment with Cao Jun to visit his house.

It is worth mentioning that every time he goes to Huang Zhongjun’s home, Cao Jun will sigh in his heart, why does his home look like a museum? In fact, Huang Zhongjun has been studying painting since he was a child, and he likes academic contemporary painters and famous contemporary painters.

He has collected almost all of his works.

As early as 2005, Huang Zhongjun bought Chen Yifei's painting "Juan Juan" for a high price of more than 4 million yuan.

In addition, Huang Zhongjun also has a collection of sculptures by sculptors such as Xiang Jing, Qu Guangci, Li Xiangqun, and Tian Shixin. This is why Cao Jun feels that his home is like a museum because there are so many collections.

Cao Jun thought to himself that when he was rich enough, he would like Huang Zhongjun and collect paintings by famous artists to cultivate his artistic sentiment.

In other words, Huang Zhongjun, who was born in a military compound in the capital and worked as a scout for five years, has the boldness of a soldier and the straightforwardness of a capital citizen. He speaks directly and seldom beats around the bush.

Therefore, after drinking two cups of tea with Cao Jun, Huang Zhongjun, who was smoking a cigar, said straight to the point: "Xiao Cao, our country is a society of relationships. Sometimes, we can't care too much about interests and ignore relationships."

Since Huang Zhongjun had already said this, Cao Jun did not hide it and asked instead: "Director Huang, do you want to talk about the "Assembly Number"?"

Huang Zhongjun smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are a smart person, you should know how to weigh the pros and cons."

""Assembly" is a large-scale production produced by Huayi, and it will be our company's big project next year."

"As the most successful and outstanding artist in our Huayi Third Studio, you should take the lead and set an example, and don't care too much about profits."

"Fame and wealth, being famous is beneficial. As long as the movie "Assembly" is made well, you will not only have the opportunity to make more money, but you may even win an award.'

In fact, the main reason why Huang Zhongjun was willing to speak for Feng Xiaogang was because Feng Xiaogang proposed to make the movie "Assembly", and it was Huang Zhongjun who actually made the decision.

Feng Xiaogang was born in the army, so he always wanted to make a war movie.

So, after watching "The Lawsuit" once, I decided to adapt it into a movie.

Just do it, and soon, Feng Xiaogang had someone write the script and attracted 80 million investment.

But when everyone met to discuss the film's budget, they expected to lose 2,000,000 yuan. Feng Xiaogang was embarrassed to stop filming. After all, he couldn't drag everyone down.

Feng Xiaogang said: "I will probably lose money while filming this film, and I cannot let the company pay for my dream."

Unexpectedly, at this time, Huang Zhongjun stood up and gave Feng Xiaogang a piece of reassurance: "Just shoot, and I'll pay any compensation!" With these words, Feng Xiaogang planned to let go.

In order to save remuneration and reduce the burden on the company, Feng Xiaogang found a bunch of acquaintances, such as Zhang Hanyu, Wang Baoqiang, Hu Jun, etc. Most of them were promoted by Feng Xiaogang or were modest artists from Huayi Company, so they all

Expressed his willingness to star in the film for free.

But Feng Xiaogang still paid the leading actor Zhang Hanyu 200,000 yuan for the film, plus the extras, the total did not exceed 1 million yuan for the film, which can be said to be extremely economical.

In other words, Feng Xiaogang is willing to pay Cao Jun a salary of 1 million, which is already the highest paid actor in the entire crew.

Feng Xiaogang felt that he was willing to pay Cao Jun 1 million as a salary, which was enough to look up to him. Like Wang Baoqiang, not only did he take the initiative to join the film, but he didn't even ask for a penny in salary.

However, Cao Jun was not Wang Baoqiang, and he and Zong Shuai did not need Feng Xiaogang to look down on them. They paid more attention to their status and interests.

What's more, a salary of 3 million is not a lot for Cao Jun. With Cao Jun's current net worth, he can easily make money from just two concerts.

Of course, the most critical point is that Cao Jun can only play the second male lead in the movie "Assembly". This is the fundamental reason why Cao Jun and Zong Shuai are unwilling to join.

Thinking of this, Cao Jun immediately replied: "Director Huang, just because I am the number one artist in the third studio, I want to fight for the interests of our studio."

"To be honest, if I accept any commercial now, I only need to shoot for a day or two, and I can earn more than 3 million yuan. I am not short of this little money.

"I'm not the leading actor. I don't need to treat myself badly for a supporting role. If "Assembly" is really popular, director Feng will be popular, and the leading actor Zhang Hanyu will be popular. I am the second male lead, what do I have?

Fantastic

After listening to Cao Jun's words, Huang Zhongjun nodded. With Cao Jun's current reputation and popularity, a salary of 3 million is really not a lot. The main reason why Huang Zhongjun thinks so highly of Cao Jun is because Cao Jun can make a lot of money for the company.

Moreover, what Cao Jun said is very reasonable. Even if "Assembly" becomes popular, it will still be Zhang Hanyu's masterpiece.

As time goes by, when people talk about the movie "Assembly", the first thing they think of is Gu Zidi, played by the male lead Zhang Hanyu, not Cao Jun, who plays the second male lead.

After some exchanges, Huang Zhongjun decided to raise Cao Jun's salary from 1 million to 3 million out of his own pocket.
