Fan Yunzhe sat aside and listened quietly without speaking. Hu Qian usually took the initiative in such negotiations. He spoke casually and could easily cause problems.
Fan Yunzhe still has great trust in this agent who has followed him for many years.
"Sister Hu, I won't say any more pretentious words. I think you should know the purpose of my visit. To be honest, I can't come up with 50 million now."
Lu Yuan said straight to the point.
Hu Qian's face remained unchanged and she smiled lightly, "It doesn't matter. Director Lu is so young. We will definitely have many opportunities to cooperate in the future. There is no need to rush."
"However, I know that Brother Fan is more optimistic about this drama. If Brother Fan can participate in it, I believe it will be of great benefit to both parties."
Lu Yuan continued.
"Director Lu, please don't say that. Yun Zhe just mentioned it casually at the time. I just asked casually. Now that I think about it carefully, in fact, the role of Yun Zhe may not be a good match. We understand Director Lu's kindness."
…”
Hu Qian said without missing a beat.
"Although I can't afford so much money now, it doesn't mean I won't be able to afford it in the future."
Lu Yuan was not angry and continued to explain.
"Um?"
Hu Qian was stunned and didn't know what Lu Yuan meant.
"I can only give out part of the remuneration, but the rest can be replaced by share."
After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Hu Qian suddenly realized what he meant.
However, this situation only occurs with directors who are very confident and know that the movie will definitely be a hit. For a director like Lu Yuan who has just gained a little fame, if it is filmed, the result will be no more than 10 million.
Aren't they at a loss to grandma's house?
Therefore, Hu Qian was about to refuse, and Fan Yunzhe on the side suddenly said, "How much box office do you expect?"
Hearing Fan Yunzhe's voice, Lu Yuan turned his head, thought for a moment, and said, "I estimate it to be 300 million."
"Three hundred million?"
Hu Qian on the side almost laughed. Three hundred million, even experienced and famous directors would not dare to say that, let alone Lu Yuan. She also made an estimate in her own mind and felt that with Lu Yuan's level, he could
If he makes a good movie, if he has 100 million, he will be lucky.
However, Fan Yunzhe thought about it carefully and said, "Then how do you want to divide it?"
"I can give you 10 million in salary, and if you agree to the remaining 40 million, I can give you a share of 15%, which is 45 million, which is the minimum."
"Of course, if you don't have confidence in our work, there is another solution, which is to wait until the box office comes out, and we will make up the remaining 40 million for you. There is no share, but the advantage is that regardless of the box office,
Even if it’s only tens of millions, I will give it to you first.”
Lu Yuan proposed two plans, but the core idea was that he didn't have so much money now, so he could only give out 10 million, and the remaining 40 million would need to be given later.
Hu Qian had almost never accepted this kind of cooperation before, so she was extremely hesitant.
But Fan Yunzhe really liked the script. If she rejected it directly, it would probably create a gap between them.
"Okay, I choose to share."
Fan Yunzhe said happily.
"No, let's choose the second option."
Hu Qian refused directly and chose the second option. When the box office came out, they asked for money.
"And this amount is not 40 million, but 50 million."
Just by delaying the checkout time a little, Hu Qian increased her salary by another 10 million.
However, Lu Yuan did not hesitate and agreed, "Okay, 50 million is 50 million. We will pay the money immediately after the box office is settled."
As he said that, he took out a contract from the bag on the side. It was all drawn up. The numbers were all blank and you could fill them in casually. Of course, to really take effect, Chen Yao's signature was needed, but Lu Yuan was confident of persuasion.
The other party, so he only needs Fan Yunzhe's consent.
Hu Qian didn't expect Lu Yuan to agree so readily, and she felt a little regretful in her heart. Instead of just increasing the amount by 10 million, she felt as if she had picked up a hot potato.
However, having already agreed, she could not go back on her word and asked Fan Yunzhe to sign her name on the contract.
At Fan Yunzhe's level, he has a great say in accepting roles and doesn't need the company's approval.
When Lu Yuan saw the other party signing his name, he finally felt relieved.
"It's a pleasure to cooperate with you. I will arrange for someone to deliver the contract to you later."
Lu Yuan said with a smile.
"Director Lu finally came to Yanjing. If you stay here for two more days, we will just entertain you."
After signing the contract, Hu Qian's attitude became enthusiastic. After all, from now on, they are all "ours".
Lu Yuan smiled bitterly, "I'm really sorry. There are so many things going on during this period. I barely managed to squeeze in a little time when I came to Yanjing this time. I really don't have any extra time. Let's do it next time. Next time you come to Liuzhou City, I will treat you well.
You guys, by the way, I would like to introduce to you the investors of our crew."
"Investor, I remember that Director Lu seems to be from Distance Culture Media, right? The general manager of your company seems to be a little girl?"
Hu Qian asked curiously.
"A little girl can control a company. She seems very capable."
Fan Yunzhe said with some surprise.
However, Hu Qian disagrees. If this kind of woman has no background, it would be a joke.
"Our general manager is Chen Yao, and the investor is Hao Ren from Shinhwa Company."
Lu Yuan said lightly, the first sentence is not important, the latter is important.
Hearing this, Hu Qian and Fan Yunzhe were both shocked. Although this matter was not a big secret in Liuzhou City, few outsiders knew about it.
The two of them had naturally heard of Shinhwa Company, and many of its products now come from Shinhwa Company.
"The investor behind you is Hao Ren? Then you can't even come up with 50 million?"
Hu Qian was extremely surprised.
Lu Yuan was a little speechless. What gave you the illusion that the script invested by Hao Ren would definitely be rich and powerful.
"Well, for us, an investment of 50 million is already a lot. If Fan Yunzhe did not participate, it would actually be enough."
Lu Yuan laughed dryly and explained.
This sentence means that Fan Yunzhe spent all their funds.
"Mr. Hao's current focus is on the company, and it is impossible to invest all the funds in movies."
After hearing Lu Yuan's explanation, both of them understood that this might be Hao Ren's attempt, and there was no need to invest too much time and money.
It's easy to win, of course. If you lose everything, it's only tens of millions. With the profitability of Hao Ren's company, this little money is nothing.
"Okay, when Director Lu turns on the phone, we can set off at any time."
Hu Qian said on behalf of Fan Yunzhe.
She still needs to communicate with the company.
However, when she learned that the investor behind Lu Yuan was Hao Ren, she put away the contempt in her heart. Hao Ren's investment showed that Lu Yuan was not poor and had some background. At least he was not one of those pheasant directors who wanted money but had no money.
No one wants anyone.
Perhaps, this movie is really something to look forward to.
After leaving Fan Yunzhe's home, Lu Yuan took the same day's flight back to Liuzhou City.
…
"What, you signed Fan Yunzhe?"
Chen Yao was extremely surprised. When she heard the news about Lu Yuan, she felt like she had been hit by a pie.
"It's just this movie, but they need a lot of remuneration. This is the plan I gave them. Because the opportunity is rare, I feel there is no problem, so I made my own decision. Mr. Chen, you can take a look."
Lu Yuan handed the contract to Chen Yao and explained it on the side.
Chen Yao took the contract and read it carefully. When she saw the salary of 60 million, she gasped. However, she was relieved when she saw that it was a down payment of 10 million and the remaining 50 million would be paid later.
"Although 60 million is a bit much, it is still relatively cost-effective in exchange for Fan Yunzhe joining."
Fan Yunzhe's joining alone can increase their box office revenue by 100 million.
"Well done, I agree."
Chen Yao signed her name on the contract.
"It just so happens that Zhou Mo and Liu Nan have also been looking for some actors in the entertainment industry these days. Of course, they are all second- and third-tier actors, either outdated or not famous. They are planning to sign them in the past two days. This is their
You can take a look at the information, and being given a role in the play can be regarded as our first gift for cooperation."
Chen Yao took out another stack of information and handed it to Lu Yuan. There were men and women, not just good-looking young people, but also some with real acting skills.
It was once famous, but perhaps due to bad luck or poor publicity, it gradually disappeared in the past two years.
Zhou Mo, Liu Nan, and Wang Xiaozhi spent a lot of effort to find these people, and then they had sincere conversations and promised to give them a broader stage before they brought them over.
Lu Yuan briefly flipped through it and his eyes lit up. Many of the roles in his script also needed actors with acting skills. Chen Yao sent them at the right time.
"Okay, I'll go back and look at it carefully to see which role in the script is more suitable for them."
Lu Yuan said and was about to leave, but Chen Yao suddenly stopped him and asked, "Luo Fei, how did you arrange it?"
Lu Yuan cursed in his heart that he was unlucky, but he still had the courage to speak, "Director Luo is one of our own, and the cooperation last time was very good, so this time she is still the heroine."
Chen Yao nodded, expressionless, "Okay, I understand, you can go back."
Lu Yuan left quickly, seemingly being chased by a tiger.
As soon as he left, Chen Yao shook her head and snorted, "That vixen is looking for Hao Ren. Otherwise, how could Lu Yuan give her the position of female lead..."
However, she is not particularly worried, because she understands that the further Luo Fei goes on this road, the less likely it will be to enter the Hao family's door in the future.
Could it be that Hao Ren would allow his wife to have sex with other men outside? Are you kidding? He knew Hao Ren relatively well and knew that this man was a small farmer at heart.
She takes some things very seriously. A woman like Luo Fei can occasionally try some meat, but she is destined to be unable to correct her.
