At the dinner table, Fang Jing had a frown on his face. If he had known that he would have to get up at two o'clock in the middle of the night, he would not have spoken even to death. Ordering takeout would be better than this. At least he could go to bed after finishing the meal.
"What's your expression? It's like a execution ground. Eat more and you will lose weight!" Yan Ming laughed.
Huang Bo played all night yesterday and went to bed at nine o'clock in the morning. Now he has just woken up and is hungry. His chopsticks are falling like raindrops. "He is an idol and cannot be fat. You should leave it to me to do the liquidation."
"I heard that you are filming recently. How are you doing? How long will it take to finish filming?" Yan Ming asked casually, "Do you have any plans for next spring?"
After thinking for a while, Fang Jing answered seriously: "My role is almost finished next month, and I may take on a drama after the spring."
"That's it! We plan to shoot the second season of Extreme Picks at the end of March. It will have the same 12 episodes and end at the end of June. We will have to spend seven or eight days every month to shoot. Do you have a schedule?"
"have!"
Even if there is no such thing, it has to be said that it does exist! Now the extreme challenge is in full swing, ranking first in ratings every time it is broadcast, so only a fool would refuse.
"Brother Bo, what about you?"
"I might not be able to come." Huang Bo hesitated, "This year is my rest time, and I will be working next year. There are a lot of things."
At first, he came to this show just for fun. They were just a group of friends. They treated it as a vacation, and it paid a lot of money. He did not expect that the extreme challenge became popular. Now that its popularity has soared, he is a little reluctant to leave.
But the actor’s destiny is not here after all. He is not Fang Jing or Wang Xu, who needs exposure to increase his fame. He is an actor and movie king, and his works speak for themselves.
The popularity of the extreme challenge is just the icing on the cake for him, not that important.
"Brother Bo, we can't miss out on this program. Otherwise, you should consider it. If the schedule is not suitable, we can adjust it. If there are other factors, we can also discuss it. Anyway, it's still early, and it's more than half a year."
Huang Bo was a little embarrassed to be told this by Yan Ming, "Okay, I'll think about it and see when the time comes."
Yan Ming nodded, not saying no was the best answer. He didn't expect Huang Bo to agree immediately. He was just a front-end person who wanted to find out what was going on. There would be a dedicated person in charge of the pay and schedule adjustment later on.
After the business talk was over, everyone had a pleasant meal. Knowing that they had to get up in the evening, Yan Ming let the two of them leave after half an hour.
In the elevator, Huang Bo sighed and said to Fang Jing next to him: "You are now doing variety shows, filming TV, and doing music. Can you keep yourself busy? It's good for young people to work hard, but they should also pay attention to their health. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
Have it both ways!”
"Brother Bo, I know what you mean. My workload may be reduced next year. If I don't reach my limit, I may not be able to appear in the audience's sight for half a year. There is no way!"
The filming of Xu Shi's Lao Jiumen has started. As the boss and the leading actor, he has to go there. This is their first time filming a drama. They have to do a lot of things by themselves. It all depends on Xu Shi, that fat guy. He might be cheated without even knowing it.
.
Dozens of episodes of scripts can be shot in four or five months, and with post-production editing and promotion, it will take at least half a year. During these six months, he cannot make announcements, and releasing albums and holding concerts are too time-consuming. The only window for exposure is
Extreme challenge.
When he heard that he was going to disappear for half a year, Huang Bo asked with concern: "What's going on?"
Fang Jing is currently positioned as a semi-idol. Once he disappears for half a year, there is no telling how much his popularity will decline.
"My friends and I are planning to film a web series, and all our assets have been invested in it. It may take a little long."
There was no hiding anything. Fang Jing told the current situation. Over the past few months, Huang Bo took good care of and supported him, and we all had a good relationship.
"That's not right! Will your company agree to this?"
Fang Jing was about to answer when the elevator arrived and before he left, Huang Bo pressed the button to the coffee shop again and continued: "Forget it, let's go down and talk."
"I can't help it if I don't agree. The company takes too much commission. I plan to set up a studio and develop it myself in the future."
"Are you crazy?" Huang Bo was shocked.
Generally, studios are established after they have become popular and the company cannot provide them with more help. Now that Fang Jing has just become famous, it is obviously not as popular as it should be.
"I can't explain this sentence or two clearly. Let's go down and talk."
Huang Bo has his own studio, so Fang Jing can ask him some questions.
When he came to the coffee shop, Fang Jing explained the current situation, Huanrui's internal competition and his development plans.
Huang Bo frowned and spoke for a long time, "You can sing your own songs, release your own albums, and accept your own dramas. It's really boring to stay in this kind of company."
"But your contract hasn't expired yet. If you break the contract unilaterally, you will have to bear some infamy. There are many ways for people to get rid of you. It's best to talk things over and break up."
Don't know how to behave!
Huang Bo cursed Huanrui in his heart. Fang Jing's current fame and popularity were clearly not suitable for a B-level contract, but the company was in an ugly position and refused to change. How could he not leave?
You create 70 to 80 million yuan in revenue for the company a year, but the company pays you a salary of several thousand yuan, which no one can tolerate.
This is also a common problem in most brokerage companies at present. They sign a large number of new people for ten or eight years, and the liquidated damages are very high. There are various overlord clauses in them, ranging from 28 points to 19 points.
If the artist becomes popular one day and the company makes a lot of money, it doesn't matter if he or she becomes popular. If you can't bear it anymore, you will terminate the contract. The original contract was for 100,000, but now you may have to pay millions.
If you have conditions, you lose money and leave, if you have no conditions, you continue to stay and waste your youth. In the end, food, clothing, housing and transportation are all problems, and you can only listen to the mercy of the company.
"Just terminate the contract. With your current reputation, you can survive, but I advise you to stop the drama project. This industry is too deep."
"In recent years, actors themselves have become directors and investors in dramas. There are many first-line movie stars and movie kings among them. But we still have to pounce."
"You're a newbie and you don't know anything. If you step in suddenly, you might not even have any bones left."
"I have confidence in myself!" He knew Huang Bo had good intentions, but Fang Jing was still stubborn. He had decided to take the deal with Laojiumen. The worst he could do was lose all his money and start over again.
"well!"
"I can't advise you. If you really want to film it, I suggest you find a reliable producer to manage the crew, someone who knows what they do."
"Yeah! I understand." Fang Jing smiled sheepishly, "Um...Brother Bo, do you want to make money? Why don't you consider my show?"
"How much difference?"
"Fifty million!"
"Get out!" Huang Bo scolded with a smile. His salary per movie is RMB 60 to 70 million, which is RMB 7,788 after tax.
A movie takes four or five months. He is busy day and night, traveling all over the country, going into the water in winter, and wearing cotton-padded jackets in summer. Sometimes it is normal to shoot for more than half a year. How is it possible that Fang Jing takes away half of his hard-earned money with just one opening?
promise.
"Tell me honestly, how much money do you have now? What is your budget?"
"There are more than 50 million in the account, and I have spent almost 60 million on my savings, with a budget of 100 million."
Fang Jing's original budget was 80 to 90 million, but that was a budget calculation and his salary was not taken into account. Now that Huang Bo is here, it naturally has to be treated as normal.
"One hundred million, are you sure you are filming an online drama?"
