Chapter 747: Zhangkou Wants 80 Million Remuneration?
There is a home theater in Zheng Ge's home, and the complete set of equipment is all high-end goods. On Monday, the director sent the movie "Love of the Fairy Sword", so you can watch it at home.
But watch a movie! What you’re watching is a lively atmosphere, so what’s the point of watching it alone?
So he decided to go to the cinema tomorrow and watch it with his sister and the others.
Tomorrow is a double holiday, the National Day and the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th.
It just so happened that I was celebrating the National Day while admiring the moon, so I called some relatives and friends in Shanghai together to have a dinner and book a movie theater to celebrate.
We had previously planned to hold a neighborhood gathering during the Mid-Autumn Festival, but we have also made adjustments.
After all, there are two festivals, Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, and every family has activities, so we can only change the date.
Actually, Zheng Ge originally had plans for the holidays. He and his sister would go back to his hometown, take his parents to the capital, or go to some tourist attractions for some fun.
But my parents had already set off a few days ago, preparing to travel across the country.
Last time I visited my hometown, my parents mentioned this matter.
At present, the two elders have arrived in the capital and are planning to climb the Great Wall, visit the Forbidden City, see places of interest, etc.
My parents are accompanied by bodyguards, and are taken care of by good friends and several life assistants. Food, drinks, accommodation, transportation and entertainment all the way are all arranged by dedicated people, so there is nothing to worry about.
…
"Huh?"
While scrolling through Weibo, Zheng Ge saw a hot search.
It is a hot search about "Sword and Sword Love".
Zheng Ge is not surprised at all that "Sword and Sword Love" has become a hot search topic.
After all, it is about to be released, so naturally there will be a wave of publicity and promotion.
Weibo is a major publicity channel.
It's just that although this Weibo hot search is related to "Fairy Sword Love", it is not directly related.
"Is this just trying to get some heat?"
Zheng Ge touched his chin and muttered. It felt like this hot search was riding on the popularity of "Sword and Sword", or in other words, the popularity of director Monday.
Director Zhou Yi has won numerous awards. He is a true artist and the most famous director in China. The films he directed have attracted the attention of people across the country.
When a new movie is released, it’s normal for some colleagues to come up and share the popularity.
After taking a look, the topic was probably: When the director was casting the film on Monday, he planned to hire a young talent to play a major supporting role, but in the end the conditions were not agreed upon and the talks fell apart.
There are three reasons for the collapse of talks:
First, Xiao Xianrou felt that Director Zhou Yi was too stingy and the salary he offered was too low. He only gave him a salary of 10 million yuan, which was not in line with Xiao Xianrou's worth.
The second is that the supporting role is too low-level and does not suit the status of Xiaoxianrou. The other party wants to play the leading role and be the leading actor, but playing a supporting role cannot be explained to the fans.
Thirdly, the director made it clear on Monday that Xiao Xianrou was not allowed to use a stand-in for this role, except for some dangerous scenes. Working hours must be punctual, and no late arrival or early departure was allowed. The crew's rules must be followed, and no special arrangements were allowed.
After meeting the three conditions, it was natural that we could not reach an agreement.
Later, Xiao Xianrou felt that he was bullied and left the set of "Fairy Sword" in anger.
But not long after, Xiao Xianrou was hired by another crew with a salary of 80 million yuan.
The crew that spent 80 million to hire Xiao Xianrou is filming a youth campus idol drama called "Youth Campus", which will also be released on October 1.
Obviously, this movie is using the contradiction between "Little Fresh Meats" and "The Sword and Sword Lovers" to create hype.
The reason why this topic is so popular is because that little guy has a large group of fans.
The thinking of these fans...how should I put it?
In short, these fans don't think that the 80 million yuan salary is high. They only think that Director Zhou Yi is too stingy and a black-hearted exploiter. He only pays 10 million yuan for the movie and is exploiting their idols.
Some people also said that Director Zhou Zhou underestimated their idol. Their idol worked so hard and had such good acting skills, but in the end, he was given a supporting role. It was so disrespectful.
Regarding the requirements not to use substitutes and the requirement to work on time, a large number of fans also criticized them, thinking that this was inhumane behavior, and demanding an apology from the director on Monday.
This made Zheng Ge feel a little dizzy.
Follow the rules and go to work on time, is that called inhumane?
What logic is this?
At the same time, these fans also highly praised "Youth Campus" and believed that this crew was a conscientious crew.
Not only did he give him a salary of 80 million yuan, but he also let his own idol play the leading role. He is a conscientious director and crew.
Looking at the topic content and fan comments, even with Zheng Ge's self-cultivation, I couldn't help but have my eyelids jump.
"well!"
After reading the comments from Xiaoxianrou fans, Zheng Ge shook his head and sighed.
In his opinion, if the director can offer a salary of 10 million yuan on Monday, it is enough to give him face.
As far as he knows, among the starring actors in "Sword and Sword", the one with the highest salary is only 3 million, and he is still a first-line star + acting type.
Regardless of popularity or acting skills, they are all top-notch.
Spending 10 million to hire a small online recruiter is like buying a share of traffic.
After all, that little guy has 60 million fans.
…
Regarding this little fresh meat, Zheng Ge remembered hearing Director Zhou mention it.
He said he asked for 80 million yuan in salary.
At that time, I was kicked out by director Zhou Yi.
80 million yuan in salary!
Zheng Ge was really confused, how did the other party say this?
Do you really think you are worth 80 million?
As a result, someone actually asked for the 80 million yuan salary.
Anyone who dares to open his mouth will dare to give!
Paying 80 million for a young guy, I really don’t know what the crew was thinking.
Nowadays, many movies require hundreds of millions of investments.
But God knows how much of it was actually spent on film production.
I took a look at the investment in "Youth Campus" and found that the total investment was 150 million.
It costs 80 million to treat this little fresh meat.
Those supporting actors are less famous, but no matter how bad they are, they will cost tens of millions in total. Add in some extras, crew members, etc. The total amount is more than 100 million.
Of the 150 million invested in "Youth Campus", it is estimated that 10 million was ultimately spent on film production, which would be pretty good.
…
After checking Weibo, Zheng Ge shook his head.
It feels like the current entertainment industry... he doesn't know how to evaluate it.
All kinds of shady stories emerge one after another.
Regardless of the capital or the director, they all focus on money.
This has spawned so many bad movies.
After closing the web page, Zheng Ge leaned on his chair and took a sip of coffee.
As for the various situations in the entertainment industry, just take a look, and he has no intention of being a defender. Although his companies have already intervened in the entertainment industry, they do not have the responsibilities and rights to rectify the entertainment industry.
At most, he can just let his film and television companies produce more good works.
"I don't know how prepared Ran Ran and the others are."
Zheng Ge rubbed his hands and stood up. A large-scale light show will be held tomorrow and he plans to go to DJI Technology Company to take a look.
