Chapter nine hundred and ninety-two the hesitant Zhou Xingxing
At this time, Zhou Xingxing said very happily: "Miss Zhao Wei, welcome to join the crew of Shaolin Football Players. I think we will have a pleasant cooperation."
It has been decided that Zhao Wei will play the role of a heroic heroine in this movie.
Cooperation is something that can benefit both parties, so Zhou Xingxing's invitation at this time is not surprising at all. Zhao Wei also readily extended his hand and said: "Happy cooperation."
This is the beginning of the cooperation between the two parties. In fact, Zhou Xingxing is very rational when he is not in a filming state. More generally speaking, looking at Zhou Xingxing's private performance, he is more like
It's like a teacher, it's like a teacher's silent charm.
This may be the real Zhou Xingchi, who is completely opposite to the domineering one during filming and the humorous one in the movie.
At this moment, Zhou Xingxing took out the contract and said: "Miss Zhao Wei, let me reiterate, if it is said that this contract was signed, then we will act in accordance with the contract when filming. If it is said that who violated the contract
If so, it would be very bad.”
What is this called? This is called ugly talk. Speaking of which, it seems that only Zhou Xingxing can say this kind of thing so confidently. Naturally, this is not the first time that Zhao Wei has come out to fool around.
And in such a situation, no matter what she is, she is a professional actor. Zhao Wei nodded and said: "Of course, if there is no problem with the contract, it will naturally be done in accordance with the contract.
.”
Generally speaking, contracts in the entertainment industry have their own formats, and the difference is just in the details. For example, the contract of Zhou Xingxing's crew will have some changes in the details at most. But it is also necessary to prevent him from getting involved in the show.
Make some traps in the details.
As a professional actor, you must see this clearly. Otherwise, you won't have to blame others for suffering a loss.
Therefore, Zhao Wei picked up the contract and looked at it. He looked at it very carefully, naturally to see if there were any traps in it. Then Chen Rong also looked at it, and looked at it more carefully than Zhao Wei. As an agent,
She is naturally responsible for Zhao Wei.
Therefore, he pays special attention to some details of the contract. After reading it, Chen Rong nodded and said: "No problem, you can sign this contract."
Everyone's cooperation has gotten off to a good start. In fact, with Zhou Xingxing's status, if he really plays tricks on details, it would be a joke in the world.
There is no need for Zhou Xingxing to use this method to calculate other actors. Standing there, he is a peak in Chinese speaking. He will never calculate others in such a low-status manner. Therefore, the performance Zhou Xingxing gave
The contract is a relatively formal contract.
It’s just that the salary is quite stingy. Looking at the salary offered by Zhou Xingxing, it is really speechless.
Zhao Wei said that she comforted her sister-in-law by saying, "I acted in Zhou Xingxing's movies not for the small salary. The whole world knows that the salary for Zhou Xingxing's movies is very small." This point.
It's a fact. The movie Zhou Xingxing invested himself can be regarded as a loss of his own wealth.
This is actually the biggest taboo for directors when filming. If in such a situation, the director has someone to invest, then there is no problem. His own remuneration will be the responsibility of the company. Box office and other matters are the responsibility of the company.
Investors will naturally figure out how to make money on their own.
But if we talk about the director’s own investment, then basically except for a few top directors, all ended in tragedy. Coppola’s filming of Apocalypse Now can be called one of the classics in the history of Hollywood movies. Yes.
War and descriptions of human nature are quite powerful, but this movie is an art film no matter how you look at it. In the end, Coppola almost lost his pants.
If he hadn't immediately recruited people to make the third part of The Godfather, the result would have been even worse. By the way, Coppola invested in Apocalypse Now himself. This is actually the gap. If the director said that he invested in the movie,
It is also necessary to find a few villains to share the risk.
Spielberg, the king of Hollywood commercial films, is such a director. He has his own film company, but he will never invest all his own films. Of course, a film with a small investment of several million cannot
Come to think of it, for big movies that always require billions of dollars of investment, Spielberg directly seeks cooperation from his enemies.
Anyway, there are a lot of movies around the world that are willing to collaborate with Spielberg, so he doesn't have to worry about no one cooperating with him. This time, Zhou Xingxing will be his own director and invest his own money. This is a taboo for directors.
It would be easy to say that it succeeded, but if it failed, then Zhou Xingxing could go back to before liberation overnight.
Therefore, during the filming, he controlled the cost of his movie very strictly, and the remuneration given to the stars was just as you can imagine.
Even a big star like Zhao Wei is only paid a mere 500,000 yuan. This is already hinted in the contract and will be exaggerated during publicity, but the actual salary is only 500,000 yuan. This is right.
Phenomenal actors like Huanzhugege are very rare. No wonder Chen Rong also feels that Zhou Xingxing is very stingy.
After Zhao Wei left, Fang Nan said with some worry: "Isn't it a little less to give Zhao Wei such a salary? I'm worried that if reporters find out, it will be detrimental to our film. If this is the case, it will
It makes people think that our crew is short of money."
For an actor of Zhao Wei's caliber, even if he plays a supporting role in a movie, the starting price is one million. What's more, Zhao Wei was hired in the name of the heroine, and it costs five hundred thousand. This is indeed a bit inappropriate.
However, Zhou Xingxing said without any embarrassment: "What's so embarrassing about this matter? Isn't it just a matter of using 1 million to promote it? After all, in such a situation, we have to do it for ourselves."
The crew will consider it.
For my own investment, I have to control the cost. If Shu Zhao Wei really refuses on the pretext of salary, then I will replace him immediately. Although I may lose some popularity by doing this, but the money is even more important.
It's hard to find.
If you can give Zhao Wei 500,000 yuan, that is already a pretty good price. Under such a situation, Zhao Wei should feel lucky."
Yes, starring in Zhou Xingxing's movies has always made some people famous. Although Zhao Wei does not need Zhou Xingxing's movies to prove himself, under such a situation, Zhao Wei also needs Zhou Xingxing's movies.
To bring myself the market of Hong Kong City.
In Hong Kong, at least on the big screen, Zhao Wei really has not been able to prove his work. Therefore, at this time, although Zhao Wei said that he felt that the salary given by Zhou Xingxing was not ideal.
However, she did not get entangled in this matter. As Zhao Wei said, under such circumstances, she did not shoot Zhou Xingxing's movie for money.
Fang Nan nodded and said: "Zhao Wei is very smart. She wants to use our movie to open up the big screen of Hong Kong's entertainment industry. Therefore, in such a situation, what does she think about the remuneration and so on?"
He may not care much about it, but if Ye Ming uses such a method to deal with it, it would be a little inappropriate."
Ye Ming and Zhao Wei are different. Zhao Wei has his own expectations for Shaolin football players, but Ye Ming is different. Ye Ming is a superstar, an undisputed superstar among newcomers, and he also has a huge market in Hong Kong City.
, it can be said that in Hong Kong City, Ye Ming is also a superstar.
Therefore, a superstar must have the price of a superstar.
Let’s not talk about anything else. If Ye Ming has a title like Oscar’s Best Supporting Actor to support him, there is no way to hire Ye Ming for a million dollars. Zhou Xingxing is also in a bit of a dilemma. For this movie, he
It can be said that everything was ruined.
My villa has been mortgaged. But under such a situation, if Ye Ming is invited to come, then the salary cannot be too small.
Zhou Xingxing thought for a while and then said: "How about 1.8 million? This number is also very auspicious. Ye Ming is just a supporting role, so giving him this number is already very high."
Being able to give a supporting actor RMB 1.8 million is indeed a relatively high salary in China.
But under such circumstances, compared with Ye Ming's fame, such a salary is not worthy of it no matter what.
Fang Nan shook his head, took out a piece of information and said: "Director, I have a statistic here, which is the change in Ye Ming's salary. Now ask Ye Ming to play a supporting role, two million is the starting price, and even if you give
After receiving the money, it’s really hard to say whether Ye Ming is willing to perform there, so at this time I think there’s nothing to say about two million,”
Although Fang Nan is actually very clear that in such a situation, he must remind Zhou Xingxing that this reminder plan must be carried out even if it is of no use. Otherwise, Fang will regret it.
Nan's own.
At this time, Zhou Xingxing said with some reluctance: "Two million, you are crazy. Who do you think Ye Ming is? Give him two million, just a supporting role. How can you ask for such a high price?"
"
Fang Nan said helplessly: "Even if it is this, it should be a friendship price. Many film crews with higher salaries than this and obviously going for Ye Ming's fame are also contacting Ye Ming. If it is because of this, we
It would be ridiculous if we missed Ye Ming."
As an executive manager, Fang Nan is actually very conscientious. Two million is the starting salary for Ye Ming. Therefore, even if Zhou Xingxing is stingy, this starting price is indispensable.
But it just happened that Zhou Xingxing was poor, and he was not willing to pay for the two million yuan in salary, because at this time, buying shares meant that if he gave Ye Ming two million now, then in the process of filming
His family will shrink back and become very unhappy.
This is something Zhou Xingxing is unwilling to see no matter what happens. This is quite contradictory. If you can't give such a high price, it is impossible to invite Ye Ming to come over. But if you offer such a high price, in the future,
There will be some obstacles when filming.
Therefore, Zhou Xingxing also said with some helplessness: "This, two million, is simply impossible. Under such a situation, we don't have any characters that can have this price. I am like this myself.
He has two million, what will others say? Wu Mengda has been with me for so many years, how much salary should I give him?
If I give Ye Ming two million, how will I explain to them, and Zhao Wei, knowing that they all need a salary increase? And if I give him two million, how will I make this movie in the future?"
Originally, in Zhou Xingxing's plan, shooting this movie required a lot of funds. If the money was not enough at this time, it would definitely affect the shooting of the movie. In such a situation, Ye Mingliang
Millions, of course Zhou Xingxing is not willing to do it this time.
Fang Nan didn't seem to notice that Zhou Xingxing was angry, or maybe Fang Nan was used to Zhou Xingxing's roaring.
Therefore, at this moment, Fang Nan said without caring at all: "There are many reasons not to invite Ye Ming, but there is only one reason to invite him. He is very suitable for this movie. Of course, how to hype this movie specifically?"
It all depends on how you think about it, boss."
In this situation, the decision-making power naturally lies in the hands of Zhou Xingxing. If Zhao Wei was originally signed, then this killing plot will also be very good news for Zhou Xingxing.
But if you have to face Ye Ming next, and Ye Ming’s salary is also very surprising, then it is really difficult to say clearly what to do in this situation. Tangled, at this time Zhou Xingxing’s
My mood is extremely complicated.
If you give money, there will naturally be some negotiation, but two million, what is the difference between this and poaching a piece of Zhou Xingxing's body? Ye Ming's price is still the basic price. If Ye Ming wants to
If it can be improved a bit, it's not impossible.
Therefore, even if he is given two million, it is difficult to say whether Ye Ming will really agree to play this role.
If the price was offered, Ye Ming would not agree at all. Now, Zhou Xingxing would be embarrassed. (To be continued.)
