Wen Luyao's new play is tentatively titled "Silver Fox".
"Silver Fox" is the code name of the hero's work, and later became the code name of his entire team.
It can also be seen from this that the heroine's role is not important and she does not need to carry the box office.
Huasheng Pictures produces this movie and plans to invest 200 million of its own; the total investment is 400 million, and another 200 million will be invested by other companies in the market.
After finalizing the director and female lead, we need to finalize the male lead and the most important villain, and the framework of the crew is ready.
Whether the remaining supporting roles are auditioned or selected by outside investors depends on the role of the supporting role and the difficulty of the role.
Roles that are easy to perform can naturally be handed over to investors; some supporting roles that play a key role and require excellent performances will be personally auditioned by the director and producer.
Wang Runxin called Wen Luyao and invited her to meet.
After hearing about Lu Yao, he went there.
"...What do you and your team think of that movie?"
Wang Runxin asked her.
Wen Luyao: "We accepted it, and my agent is negotiating the salary."
Wang Runxin: "Is the pay high?"
"This should be kept secret."
Hearing Lu Yao laughed.
Wang Runxin: "Reveal some information and you can give me a hint."
Wen Luyao: "My salary is 10 million..."
Wang Runxin: “Are you still only worth 10 million now?
Your salary in "Xiaoyao" is more than this."
"...Additional 10% of the box office."
Wen Luyao continued.
Wang Runxin: "..."
It turns out they were betting on the box office.
This is actually a bit unreliable.
Wang Runxin has been very popular in the past five years. He makes two movies every year and releases one or two movies, and the results are pretty good.
Because of his appeal at the box office, the producer would also suggest that he lower his salary and get a share of the box office.
He refused.
He had experienced everything he had to experience when he was young, and no longer had any "gambling addiction".
Ask him to give up the real money he has obtained and pursue the unknown, but he can't do it.
He is no longer a man who can't look up at the moon, he can only stare at the sixpence on the ground.
"I think you're a little naive."
Wang Runxin said, "If you cooperate with Huasheng, you can get a salary of 50 million yuan.
If you give up 40 million of it, you have to bet that the movie box office will exceed at least 2 billion.
Do you know what 2 billion means?
Let’s check the total box office. How many movies can pass every year?”
Wen Luyao: "Huasheng Pictures' movies are not for the summer vacation, but the eleventh one is the Spring Festival movie. You can look forward to the box office."
Wang Runxin: “It’s too risky.
It's not a small amount of money, it's tens of millions.
Every actor only earns money for a few years, so he has to be prepared to have one meal and no more, and he has to have food reserves."
Wen Luyao smiled.
Wang Runxin: "Why, do you think what I said is corny?"
"No, it's because of your past experiences that I feel that Teacher Wang has really aged and become more stable."
I heard Lu Yao said.
Wang Runxin: "I'm afraid you're asking for a beating!"
Both of them laughed.
Wang Runxin asked her again: "Do you think the movie will make money?"
Wen Luyao: "This is my agent's suggestion.
To be honest, it doesn't matter to me, as long as I can act in this drama, I like this role very much."
Wang Runxin sighed: "You and I were very similar when we were young. At that time, I would also be very happy with a certain role and I could give up my profits to star in it."
"and after?"
"Later I realized that movies are not a one-person show.
It is like a dress, each of us is just an embellishment on the dress.
No matter how wonderful the performance is, it will be insignificant on the whole.
The success of a movie depends on many factors, and my personal performance is the most easily replaced among them.
The movie is the director's work, not our actors'."
Wang Runxin said.
Wen Luyao was shocked: "Your statement is a bit pessimistic."
Wang Runxin smiled: "I won't talk anymore, the more I talk, the more boring I will be.
If you want to act, I'll take it too, Teacher Wen will share the box office for me."
"No, no, this is a male-led drama, and you are the one who holds the box office.
Your pay should be higher!"
Hearing Lu Yao said immediately.
Wang Runxin smiled and said: "No, no, Teacher Wen is a Golden Film Award winner, how can I dare to compete?
I want a salary of eight million, and the box office depends on you."
Wen Luyao: "..."
Very good, the crew has not yet been formed, so we have to learn how to pass the blame.
