After knowing that the crew was "Swordsman", the few people who came here had read the original work. They were quite experienced in the show and had a good reputation in the industry, so they didn't want to leave a bad impression on Fang Jing.
Nodding secretly, Fang Jing turned around and took out a previously printed contract from the drawer.
After reading the original work, his performance and understanding of the characters will undoubtedly improve a lot, and these old actors will give him a lot of peace of mind.
The crew has recruited a new group of actors, and he plans to let Lu Yang each distribute a copy of Swordsman, even if they are special actors.
"Teachers, here is the contract. You can take a look at it and hand it over to me within a week."
Several people came here on their own, without an agent or assistant lawyer. Fang Jing was afraid that they would have any scruples, so Fang Jing gave them enough time.
"No need to go to such trouble." Wu Gang took the contract and read it with a smile. "After so many years of filming, we have signed too many contracts, and all the matters are similar. I can give you an answer in half an hour."
"Okay, you guys watch first, I have something else to do and will come over in a minute." Fang nodded, opened the door and went out, leaving space for a few people.
He didn't know whether Wu Gang was big-hearted or had some legal knowledge. He didn't bring a lawyer with him when signing the contract, or at the very least, he brought a professional agent with him.
Long-established agents like Yang Ning and others not only have strong professional skills, but also have no weaker legal knowledge than ordinary lawyers. They go to training every year. If there is a large-amount contract, he will bring Yang Ning with him, and he would not dare to sign it alone.
.
Chinese culture is vast and profound, and sometimes a single word difference in a contract can mean a huge difference in meaning.
For example, one is non-refundable and the other is refundable. Many people are deceived by salesmen when buying cars or houses. If they don't want to buy it later, they won't refund the money, and it's useless to file a lawsuit in court.
"This young man is so generous, I underestimated him." In the room, the three people looked at the salary of one dollar in the contract and fell silent.
Zuo Lengchan, played by Yu Xiaowei and Zhang Zhijian, has a slightly larger role in Let Me Go, with each costing RMB 2.8 million, while Wu Gang and Li Jianyi each have RMB 2 million.
It is said that there are more scenes, but in fact it is just compared with the supporting role.
Their scenes are not as large as those of Yue Linshan and Tian Boguang. If they shoot every day, they can be completed in a week. However, considering the limited filming of the crew, it may take a month to complete.
For dozens of scenes, the lowest price is 2 million, which is a very high price, at least two-thirds higher than what is on the market.
Picking up the pen, Yu Xiaowei looked at Wu Gang, "Teacher Wu, are you sure there is no problem? Do you want to call someone to ask? If there is no problem, I will sign."
"Sign it. It's such a small thing that I don't have to call someone to ask. It's just that the price is so high that it makes me panic."
"It's okay. Since they dare to give it, I dare to take it. What's the point of being so panicked?" Zhang Zhijian picked up a brush and signed the name Zhang Zhijian.
This is his real name. Zhang Zhijian was the stage name changed by his teacher when he debuted many years ago.
Legally, a stage name does not have legal effect.
Li Jianyi also signed his name, "Well, since you are not afraid, I have nothing to worry about as an old man."
When Jing came over half an hour later, there were four contracts neatly placed on the table, one in duplicate, and he had already signed and sealed the other one.
"Happy cooperation!" Looking at the four names, Fang Jing smiled brightly and stretched out his hand to shake one by one.
Wu Gang said doubtfully: "I have a question that I don't want to ask. Why do you want to offer such a high salary? We don't have much traffic, we are just supporting roles."
"Hahaha! What's so strange about this? Although the roles you play don't have many roles, they are very important. After all, the teacher's acting skills are still worth the price."
"The key point is that I don't lack the 1.8 million, so let's form a good relationship and it will be easier to cooperate in the future, right?"
Hearing this, Wu Gang and others laughed. This young man is very experienced in doing things, and he also knows how to make a long flow of water.
"Okay, you gave me so much money, and I won't let you down. Next time you have a movie, I'll give you a 20% discount, but only if I have time."
"Really? That's great." Fang Jingyi said happily, "Our company will be planning to shoot several major dramas next year. Teacher Wu, when do you think you will have time?"
Wu Gang...
Labor and management are just being polite, do you still take it seriously?
"Hahaha!" Li Jianyi laughed, "Now you are shooting yourself in the foot. The team will see how you explain to the dean."
A few of them are from the National Repertory Theater, and they usually rehearse plays in the theater. This time they came here because they had just rehearsed one. They won't rehearse again for two or three months. They are taking advantage of this period to earn extra money to support their families.
But on average, there are at least three plays a year, and more than seven months are spent in the theater. The rest of the time I have to rest and spend time with my family, and I can only squeeze out time to film one play at most.
If Wu Gang agrees to Fang Jing, he won't have to take a break for the next year.
"Ahem! It's easy to say, it's easy to say. It's okay if you can, but it can't conflict with my drama schedule."
Wu Gang couldn't keep his word when he said it. He still wanted this face, so he had no choice but to agree.
It is estimated that Fang Jing only arranged supporting roles, and there were not many roles. No one at their age played the leading role, so they could still squeeze in some time.
"Teacher Wu, let me thank you first." Fang Jing held Wu Gang's hand excitedly. Now Secretary Dakang was there. He turned to look at Li Jianyi and the others and continued: "Teachers, why don't you think about it too?
"
"What else is there about us?" Zhang Zhijian was stunned.
Among the four, Wu Gang was the most famous, a national first-class actor. He thought Fang Jing went there because of Wu Gang's fame, but compared to the three of them, he was much weaker.
It's not cost-effective to spend money to hire them. If you have the money, it's better to hire a little fresh meat to get the results quickly.
"Of course!" Fang Jing took out another contract and gave it to several people, and said cautiously: "This is our company's contract. I just went out and drafted it."
"When I sign with Nanjing, I don't need to pay any share for any roles in the company's dramas. The salary will always be 30% higher than the market price."
"You didn't write down the contract period and liquidated damages?" Yu Xiaowei turned to the last page and frowned as he looked at the contract.
Nowadays, there are many ways to sign contracts. If you are not careful, you will be compensated for 18 million yuan. Someone once asked the company to terminate the contract and thought it was 5 million termination fees. Who knew that it ended up being 50 million yuan, and the contract was extended for ten years before the contract was terminated.
"There is no time limit and no liquidated damages. Strictly speaking, you are just in name. You can leave whenever you want."
Fang Jing chuckled and continued: "Not only that, the company subsidizes you 8,000 yuan every month, and you can still get guaranteed benefits even if you don't film."
"When there is a drama to be filmed, I will give priority to the company's actors. The specific role depends on the role requirements. I know that teachers are usually busy with dramas. I only have one requirement, which is to star in at least one drama a year."
There was silence in the air, and Yu Xiaowei did not ask any more questions. The pie was a bit too big, which frightened him. For a moment, the idea that Fangjing Company was laundering money even flashed through his mind.
