"Brother Zhao, how have you been playing these days?"

On the plane, Menjie was wearing huge sunglasses, covering less than half of his face. Judging from the appearance, if you were not a very familiar person, it would be difficult to recognize Menjie's identity at a glance, while Zhao Dong was sitting on the plane.

From the sidelines, looking at his mental state, it was obvious that he was much stronger than the fatigue he had experienced in the past few days.

It can be seen that these few days of rest are very useful not only for Men Jie, but also for Zhao Dong.

"I finally had a few days off, so I had a good rest. Although I didn't do much, I bought a lot of specialties from Xiangjiang. I'm waiting to surprise my wife and children when I get home!"

Sitting next to Men Jie, Zhao Dong said with a smile, Zhao Dong did not play much these days, but wandered around many local places selling specialties in Xiangjiang, filling three bags with large and small bags.

I'm just waiting to go home and distribute them one by one to my relatives and friends.

"Right!"

Suddenly thinking of something, Zhao Dong quickly took out a few documents from the briefcase on the side and handed them to Men Jie, "Although I have had a rest these days, I have not fallen behind on some basic and necessary work. Look at these documents.

one time!"

"What information?"

Although he was confused, Menjie still took the documents handed over by Zhao Dong and read them one by one.

"It's the audition invitations I've received from many movies these days!"

While explaining to Men Jie, Zhao Dong couldn't help but have a faint smile on his face, which seemed rather arrogant.

"Some time ago, I heard that you were the number one supporting actor in the movie "The Myth" and you were paid 800,000 yuan. There are still many people clamoring that you are not worth the price. Now look at what these movies have given you.

The prices, aren’t they all at this price?!”

Once, as a newcomer in the film industry, when Men Jie starred in the movie "Kung Fu", the salary he received was a bit low compared to other newcomers. He only had a few 120,000 soft girl coins, and in the end he got only 50,000

It’s a lot of money, but it’s Zhou Xingchi’s movie after all. Even if you don’t pay a penny, there will be many people trying to get it, and Men Jie doesn’t care much.

In the subsequent movie "Fist of Fury", Menjie's salary rose to a figure of 350,000, which is not a lot, but it is much better than that of newcomers. The reason is naturally because he starred in Zhou Xingchi's movie "Kung Fu"

for the sake of.

When I participated in the movie "Myth", because there were many scenes and the filming was very hard and required a lot of traveling around, if we look at the normal market price, giving Menjie a salary of 600,000 yuan is enough.

But Fang Chenglong finally gave him a salary of 800,000 yuan!

Of course there is a reason why "Menjie is very suitable for this role", but I have to say that Fang Chenglong is indeed very generous in terms of actor's salary.

However, Fang Chenglong's generosity aroused the dissatisfaction of many seniors in the circle who were not getting along as they wished. In the spirit of 'I have never encountered such a good thing, why is it the turn of a newcomer like Menjie?'

Indeed, many lesser-known second-tier veteran actors murmured privately, feeling that the salary given to Menjie was too much, and that Menjie was simply not worth the price.

Faced with this situation, Menjie really had nothing to say.

Since then, the price given by Fang Chenglong is indeed about 200,000 higher than his own worth. Secondly, he is an old man after all. Although Menjie feels nothing, if he openly screams at the other party, he will inevitably give him a

It feels like 'throwing away a big name'.

Even if Menjie is not a big name, there will be many reporters and media who will discredit Menjie in this way for the sake of magazine sales.

In desperation, Menjie could only pretend not to hear. Anyway, it was not said in front of him, so Menjie didn't need to pay too much attention to it.

Of course, if any blind old man dared to shout in front of Menjie because of his seniority, Menjie would not be able to coddle him and give others the feeling of being 'easy to bully'.

But now...

A few days ago, Menjie won the "Best New Actor Award" at the 24th Hong Kong Film Awards, the top Newcomer Award in the Chinese film industry, no matter in terms of status, status or salary,

There has been some improvement.

Just like being an official, although the acting mayor and the official mayor have the same rights, the title also represents an improvement in his identity and status.

As for net worth and remuneration...

With such a valuable trophy as the Hong Kong Film Awards, how could Menjie’s salary not be raised to a higher level?!

Even though Menjie's trophy is the least important actor award at the awards ceremony, it is still very valuable.

Probably such a trophy is enough to increase Menjie's salary by between 100,000 and 150,000!

Then, in addition, because he starred in Fang Chenglong's movie "The Myth", many people in the industry predicted that after "The Myth" is released, Menjie's popularity will be further improved.

Just now, Menjie, who has millions of fans, is already comparable to the top first-line movie stars, and even some of the top movie stars who have been miserable. In this regard, plus a salary of tens of thousands of dollars, it is also

It's normal.

As a result, Menjie, who was originally recognized as having a salary of about 600,000, in just three or four days, his salary increased again by about 200,000, truly reaching a figure of 800,000.

From this point of view, the 800,000 yuan salary offered by Fang Chenglong does not seem to be that high and can only be regarded as normal.

At this point, the "old-timers" who used to talk about Menjie often in private could only mutter a few sour words like "Menjie is so lucky" and said nothing more.

After all, Menjie has been developing in the entertainment industry for more than a year and has achieved the results they have achieved in decades. What kind of face do they have to catch such a trivial matter? It is just a laughing stock.

And now, some information Zhao Dong has provided fully proves Men Jie's current salary!

The documents Zhao Dong gave to Men Jie were audition invitations sent to Men Jie from three movies. Among them, the lowest salary was 760,000, and the highest one was even 840,000. It can be seen that Men Jie's salary at this time was

Jie's net worth has improved so much from a year ago!

""Senior Year in High School", "The Botanist's Daughter", "Fortress Under Siege"?"

Looking at the names of the three movies that Zhao Dong handed to him, Men Jie thought about it. It seemed that he was flipping through the basic information of the three movies, but in fact, he was using the King System to research these three movies.

Details.

Among the three films, "High School Senior" is a very literary and artistic documentary. The film is very inspirational. It tells the history of a collective struggle with a highly idealistic color. It truly presents the tragic and heroic personal struggle experience of an ant, but it is a pity.

The thing is, whether it is in terms of production cost, box office, etc., it is not very outstanding.

If his acting skills are stuck at a limit, he is preparing to accumulate experience, or if he wants to seek a breakthrough, Menjie may choose this type of movie to seek glory in some awards, but now...

With the script of "Wulin Gaiden" existing, it is impossible for Menjie to waste time and effort to star in this movie because of the salary of 800,000 yuan.

In terms of "City Under Siege", compared to the former, the production has indeed become bigger, but it is not even as good as the former. It may be slightly better than the former in terms of box office, but not by much, but in terms of reputation,

But it was much worse than the former, and Menjie had no reason to choose it.

As for the last movie "The Botanist's Daughter", Menjie paid more attention to it.

The film is invested by foreign investors, and the director Luc Besson is also an experienced director. Although the investment in the film is not very large, it is better because of the good script, and it is called the "female version of "Brokeback Mountain"!"

Dare to use the work of great director Li An, which won the Academy Award for Best Director, to speak, which shows that the script is also very good, which is why Menjie's heart was moved.

Even after watching the movie at the beginning, Men Jie wanted to find Zhang Manyu and Zhou Xun to star. Men Jie even had the urge to "grit his teeth and agree." However, after careful consideration, Men Jie still shook his head slightly.

, he pushed this last script aside and said softly to Zhao Dong, "Brother Zhao, push them all away!"

The last script was indeed very tempting, but there were actually only two protagonists in the entire film, and all of them were women. The film itself revolved around two lesbians.

Although Menjie was invited to star in the leading male role with the most roles in the play, no matter how outstanding a male lead is, he will still be a foil to the two female leads. Even if he wins the award, it will definitely not be Menjie's turn.

.

What's more, like the first film "High School", the film "The Botanist's Daughter" also had huge flaws at the box office.

For Menjie, who has always been committed to "focusing on making blockbuster movies," this is really a problem that cannot be ignored.

In addition, a month or two later, the filming of "The Myth" was over, and Menjie was still preparing and filming "Wulin Gaiden". Naturally, without much hesitation, he asked Zhao Dong to turn down these three jobs for him.

High-paying movies.

If what is in front of Menjie now is a top-notch script with considerable blockbuster potential, Menjie may consider delaying the filming of "Wulin Gaiden" and shoot a movie first. But now these three movies are only

It's just a first-class movie, and the first two movies can only be regarded as middle-to-lower quality movies. How could it be possible for Menjie to make such a big sacrifice?

Delaying the filming of "Wulin Gaiden" means that Menjie will spend a lot of money. If the script was not too good, Menjie would not be able to make such a sacrifice!

"Okay, then I will reject these three scripts first. If there are any suitable ones, I will show them to you!"

Nodding, Zhao Dong also felt that these three scripts were not very suitable for Men Jie, who had always been very 'lucky' and could always get high-quality scripts, so he agreed directly without much hesitation. (Unfinished)
