Tang Xiaobao was ashamed: "Director Feng, do you really think so?"
Feng Dagang coughed and said with a strange expression: "Thirty million seems to be too low. Otherwise, just 100 million. What do you think?"
"One hundred million?"
Tang Xiaobao rolled his eyes: "Who do you think I am? Am I worth 100 million?"
"Ah, how about 200 million? This is the highest salary that investors can give. Our relationship is not normal. Let me just say it straight, the highest is 200 million. No higher will be enough. We still need to keep some money.
When it comes to making movies, making a good movie now doesn’t work if the budget is too low.”
Feng Dagang said bitterly.
Tang Xiaobao said quickly: "No, no, no, Director Feng, you don't understand what I mean. What I mean is that 100 million is too high. I think it will be 30 million. Otherwise, what do I have to do with those little fresh meats?"
It’s different. I’m still a newbie. Give me a chance.
Yes, I can't thank you enough. You really think highly of me. I really don't like the salary but not the salary. Even if you give me a billion, I don't care. I don't lack the money. Even if you give me
It’s not like I can’t agree to a zero paycheck.”
"Compared to you, those little fresh meats are really nothing but shit. You don't know. I hate the little fresh meats the most. They put on airs, make too many demands, are unwilling to recite their lines, and sometimes have to cut out pictures.
, no one came to the crew, and the asking price was 70, 80, or even 100 or 200 million. Hey, I am really convinced today. However, 30 million is too low. Maybe 40 million, the same price as Feifei.
.”
"No, how many movies has she made? I've only made one movie. I don't have enough experience. What I value is the opportunity to learn."
"No, it must be 40 million. Otherwise, I will feel bad."
"Thirty million is enough."
"Forty million is the lowest. You are already very condescending."
"Thirty million."
"Forty million."
The two got into a fight.
Hu Feifei on the side didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
I have never seen such a scene.
Actors work hard to get more pay, and directors usually work hard to get less pay.
This is normal, this is normal.
A scene like the one performed by Tang Xiaobao and Feng Dagang is not normal at all, unheard of and unseen.
In the end, Tang Xiaobao failed to win over Feng Dagang.
The latter was determined to give 40 million.
No, he actually wanted to give more.
He felt that 40 million was too little. Considering Tang Xiaobao's status, doubling the amount would be condescending.
But Tang Xiaobao is also very stubborn.
"Okay, forty million is forty million."
Tang Xiaobao looked extremely reluctant as he continued: "However, I have conditions."
"There is no need to talk about the conditions. It is definitely the highest treatment. Our film is all completed in Yanjing. You don't have to go to some outdoor scenes. You can just shoot the scenes directly. Starting from tomorrow, the crew will rent a car at a price of no less than 1
Ten Million Real Estate will pick you up and drop you off around the clock, sending two drivers,
Four bodyguards. In addition, we can also hire an assistant for you. In terms of dining in a five-star hotel, you can make requests for whatever you want to eat. Just tell us in advance and we will fully comply with your requirements. The salary is already low.
After paying so much, the treatment is absolutely top-notch.”
Tang Xiaobao's eyes widened.
He was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Where does all this happen?
Are you going to ask your ancestors to make offerings?
Didn't you invite actors to act?
He smiled bitterly and said: "With all due respect, is this really appropriate for you?"
"Ah, is there anything inappropriate? If you ask, we can improve it."
Feng Dagang is also quite honest.
Tang Xiaobao waved his hands and said speechlessly: "I just want to ask, do you invite me to act, or do you come to support me like an ancestor? I am an actor. What kind of five-star hotel can you arrange for me? What else can you arrange?
Car, I have a car. As for bodyguards and the like, I don’t need them at all. I also have an agent, so I will definitely go there when the time comes. Oh, and for meals and stuff, don’t everyone eat box lunches?”
"ah?"
Feng Dagang was also dumbfounded.
Tang Xiaobao continued: "I am here to act, not to play, so I have to be frugal in everything. Although I am not an investor, every penny we can save is every penny we can spend, and we can invest more money in the production of the film. This way
Only in this way can the work be more perfect and the quality be better.
Ah, do you think this is the case? You don’t need to treat me as a big shot. I’m not a big shot. I’m just a newcomer. I’ll be treated the same as all the actors. Let me say it first. I can’t be special.
, otherwise, I won’t act in this play.”
"No, no, no, don't, can't you do everything as you please?"
Feng Dagang also couldn't laugh or cry. He sighed: "Hey, I have never seen a star like you. Really, you are definitely the most unconventional star in this circle. People are eager to make countless demands. It's better for you.
There are no requirements.”
"I have a request."
Tang Xiaobao said quickly.
Feng Dagang was stunned: "By the way, you just said you had a request, what request did you mean? I'm confused by you now."
Tang Xiaobao smiled and said: "You interrupted me, you can't blame me."
"Okay, tell me, if you have any requests, just ask."
Feng Dagang said.
"Okay, you also know about the bet between Qi Wenfeng and I, right?" Tang Xiaobao asked.
"You know, does this have something to do with your request? Oh, I understand. Do you want me to direct the play for you? To be honest, I have no confidence that I can win him. Moreover, you said at the beginning
If you want to break the box office record, I guess no one is sure enough to be able to help you. Sorry, I really can’t help you. However, I can help you and give you some suggestions. When the time comes, I can also invite some of my friends.
, come together to help you and try our best so that you can win."
"Stop, stop, stop."
Tang Xiaobao quickly stopped: "Where have you been thinking of? When did I tell you to help me direct the play? I can direct it myself."
"ah?"
Feng Dagang felt that his brain was short-circuited.
"My only request is that if I have any suggestions during filming, for example, if I feel that some lines need to be changed or some plots need to be changed during the acting process, you must fully respect my opinion.
Opinion."
Tang Xiaobao finally made his request.
Although he has learned the skills of a super director and now has an extremely thorough understanding of filmmaking, and he still has countless works and inspirations in his mind, theory is one thing, and practice must be done.
Fortunately, this is an excellent opportunity for practice.
He didn't want to let it go.
Feng Dagang was stunned.
This request is not excessive at all, but for him, it is a bit too much.
Everyone knows that he has very strict requirements on art. On the set, everything must be obeyed by him.
No matter how big the brand is, it’s useless.
But Tang Xiaobao is Tang Xiaobao after all. His salary of 20 million yuan is only 40 million yuan, which is already very interesting. Moreover, the press conference has been held. It is impossible not to let him film it. He has to drive the box office sales.
.
In other words, Tang Xiaobao's request is to take away some of his power, which is equivalent to being an assistant director...
Feng Dagang was unwilling in his heart, but he knew that it was absolutely impossible not to agree.
Tang Xiaobao's character is sometimes very eccentric and stubborn. If he suddenly stops acting, all the previous work will be in vain.
So, gritting his teeth, he agreed: "Okay, I will fully respect your opinion."
"Okay, no problem then. Come on, I wish us a happy cooperation. Cheers."
