"What's the number of years and liquidated damages you're offering him?"
Chen Feng asked very puzzledly.
Lisa said: "I originally said that the annual salary was ten years, but this is obviously impossible. There are basically no contracts with such long annual salaries in Hollywood. So after some bargaining, the number of years was shortened to six years. After that, I didn't
She gave in again. As a result, he agreed after making a phone call. Then there were liquidated damages. I initially offered a liquidated damages of US$50 million, but her previous liquidated damages were only US$5 million, which was different from the original company.
The signing period is only 3 years.”
"I said that our company was more optimistic about her, but her agent apparently backed out. As a result, the agent made another phone call and agreed to the conditions. Next, there are other specific contract contents.
, for example, can I guarantee her a few film contracts a year and a specific dividend ratio? I argued hard and only negotiated with him based on our company’s D-level contract treatment, but they... also agreed."
There are five levels of contract levels in the company, namely ABCDE. The lowest level is E-level, which is equivalent to the contract standard for pure newcomers. D-level is different from pure newcomers, but is still not a standard for artists in the entertainment industry.
Normally, someone who is somewhat famous, like Amanda, has had supporting roles in many movies and TV series, and many of them have some outstanding supporting roles, so she is already somewhat famous.
If calculated according to the contract standards of these five levels, Amanda can at least get a C level. If she fights for it, it is also possible to get a B level. Of course, this is because Chen Feng did not intentionally give her
When setting thresholds, or with other entertainment brokerage companies.
Originally, Chen Feng wanted to deliberately make Amanda give up and stop trying to sign a contract with their beautiful beauty company. As a result, they actually agreed to such harsh conditions, what else could they do? Could he directly ask Amanda
Say, I don’t want you to join our company?
Then wouldn't he become a person who breaks his word? And Chen Feng can imagine that Amanda will definitely not let her go. It may bring him trouble after recruiting her, but if he doesn't recruit her, he may be in trouble now.
.
The lesser of two evils, it seems the only option is to sign her.
"Boss, what do you think we should do now?" Lisa asked, somewhat unsure.
Chen Feng had nothing to worry about and said straightforwardly: "Okay. I understand, let's sign her. The term and liquidated damages will remain unchanged, and other benefits will be upgraded to level C."
"Ah, okay." Lisa was surprised and immediately agreed. She originally thought that Chen Feng didn't want to sign this woman. As a result, this happened again. However, as a subordinate of the boss, there are some things that should not be done.
Ask her whether she knows or not. She just needs to do things according to the boss Chen Feng's wishes.
The reason why Chen Feng raised Amanda's salary was of course because he was afraid that she would hold a grudge and avoid causing unnecessary trouble to himself. Of course, he couldn't raise her salary too high all at once, lest she misunderstand him.
After this matter was settled, Chen Feng temporarily put it behind him and concentrated on going to the editing room to prepare for the post-editing and production work of the "Juno" movie.
The company has hired professional editors, but they are not very famous, but their professional standards are not bad.
When Chen Feng came over, the editor was already there. Afterwards, Chen Feng called Marcia and told her that he was going to start editing "Juno", and she said she would come over soon. Obviously,
As the director of this movie, she didn't want Chen Feng to edit it exactly according to her own wishes, even though Chen Feng was the producer, and before filming this movie, Chen Feng had told her in advance that this movie
The editing rights should be given to him. Of course, Marcia, the director, can participate. But if there is a conflict between the two, Chen Feng will take the lead.
Chen Feng had no intention of waiting for Marcia to come over before starting work. Instead, he ordered the editor to start editing the movie.
Almost half an hour later, Marcia arrived. At this time, Chen Feng had already cut a lot of shots with the editor. Marcia looked at the cut shots on the computer next to him and didn't say anything.
She will definitely be satisfied with these edited scenes.
However, the two soon had conflicts over the editing of some scenes. Neither of them could convince the other. According to the original agreement, of course they had to listen to Chen Feng. However, Chen Feng did not want to make trouble with Marcia because of this.
In the end, it was decided that the two of them would cut out a version according to their own wishes, and then compare them to see which version was better.
This was regarded as Chen Feng's compromise. Marcia accepted it as soon as it was good. So, the two of them cut separately. Marcia has been a director for so many years, so she can edit it by herself.
So, the two sides started editing the film on two computers without any incident.
It took Chen Feng three days, including the night, to come up with the first rough cut version. He himself felt that it was a bit slow. After all, this was only a rough cut version, and the film had no special effects scenes. But after playing
In the eyes of others, this speed can only be described as divine speed.
Marcia also spent three days here, but since she was not here at night, she could only edit out almost one-tenth of the film. It would have taken a month to completely edit the film.
Of course this refers to fine cutting.
Chen Feng spent three days rough-cutting such a version, and then invited Miranda, Emily, and of course Marcia to watch it together.
After the three of them read it, they were generally quite satisfied, and Marcia was no exception. However, she was confident that the version she edited would not be worse than Chen Feng, or even better.
When Chen Feng saw this, he followed her. In the following time, Chen Feng no longer edited the film day and night. Instead, he asked the editor to use his rough cut as the basis for refinement. He made one or two
Just come over tomorrow to check it out and provide guidance.
The next thing for him is to start preparing for his first English album. However, before that, he has to publish the piano music "Girl's Prayer" that has been released, but this time it is not Chen Feng
Come play, but Catherine.
For this reason, Chen Feng specifically asked Catherine for her opinion. She only hesitated for a moment before agreeing. She herself agreed, and Matthew and Marcia certainly had no objections.
Therefore, Chen Feng, on behalf of Beauty Beauty Company, reached a cooperation agreement with Matthew, the guardian, for Catherine to release her first piano single. This agreement was a temporary contract and was only valid for the piano single "Girl's Prayer".
Catherine's musical talent is indeed very high, especially "Girl's Prayer" suits her very well. To put it simply, she injects her own emotions into playing this piece. This may be because she knows this.
This song was given to her by Master Chen Feng.
The piece itself is not too difficult to play. After several days of diligent practice, Catherine has played it quite well. She has completely reached the level where she can record piano music.
