Chapter nine hundred and ninety fifth king sees king
Two million, this price was actually within Ye Ming's expectation. Zhou Xingxing was definitely able to offer such a price. But this does not mean that Ye Ming just gave up on it.
Therefore, Ye Ming said helplessly: "The three of them are not outsiders. To be honest, it is impossible for me to agree to this price. Maybe it means that before the Oscars, if the three of them were lobbyists, I would be able to agree to this price."
. But it’s impossible now. The price for a supporting role in the United States is half a million dollars, and it’s still in a Spielberg movie. This means that if I play a supporting role in the future, the price will at least be based on this. After all,
In fact, there are few directors in Hollywood who are more talented than Spielberg."
Yes, if we are talking about commercial film directors, then Spielberg really has few rivals. He has already paid Ye Ming half a million US dollars, equivalent to four million Chinese dollars. In this case, after performing in Si
After Pierberg's movie, Ye Ming's net worth will definitely rise. This is almost certain. It is normal for an actor's net worth to rise when he stars in a big director's movie. Therefore, four million is indeed a basic
The price is up.
Zhou Xingxing gave two million, which was a lot less. Fan Binbin said bluntly: "The situation in China and Hollywood are different. Almost no one in China can afford the investment in Minority Report. Of course, Brother Ming
If you don’t want to, forget it.”
Come on, this is the most unreliable lobbyist. Even Feng Xiaogang feels at this moment whether it is worth bringing this girl Fan Binbin over. How can this girl stand on Ye Ming's side?
Girl, you are on our side.
Ye Ming relaxed his shoulders and said: "If I dare to agree to this price, I will definitely be killed by Sister Fang Fang. I will be killed by her in minutes. If this price is said to be known to outsiders,
, how will I make movies in the future and how will I ask for remuneration? People in Hollywood will tell you.
Your salary in China is only US$250,000, so why should I give you a high salary here?"
Ye Ming's words indeed left Fan Binbin speechless. Indeed, in such a situation, Fan Binbin finally stopped and completely lost his fighting power.
It is difficult for an actor's net worth to rise. Winning awards, starring in blockbusters, dark horse movies, etc., may greatly improve an actor's net worth. But this process is relatively slow.
However, if you are talking about lowering your net worth in a good situation, it would take almost a movie.
Therefore, any actor will be very cautious when making a movie at a lower salary. No matter he is a superstar or an ordinary actor, he will not use this flashlight easily.
Therefore, what Ye Ming said is basically irrefutable. It is impossible for him to delay his work in Hollywood for Zhou Xingxing's movie. Seeing Ye Ming's vow, in such a situation, Feng Xiaogang
Said: "It's a favor from Zhou Xingxing. The money is second, but the favor is great. If you can help him this time, if you have a suitable movie to cooperate with Zhou Xingxing next time, that's fine too.
Let’s hire him to play a supporting role at a cost price.”
This thing is a very common situation, but Ye Ming shook his head and said: "I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild of America. Therefore, even if I want to accept this price at this time, it is impossible. Members are all
I have my own minimum price, and if it’s lower than this minimum price, it’s impossible for the Screen Actors Guild to let me go.”
A large part of the Screen Actors Guild's job is to protect the legal income of its members. This is an important reason why so many big Hollywood stars join the Screen Actors Guild.
After hearing this, things seemed to have reached a deadlock, because what Ye Ming said was very clear. At this time, it was difficult for Ye Ming to agree. At least Feng Xiaogang was a little frustrated now.
At this time, Feng Xiaogang was full of fire and said: "Do they control this matter for you in the United States?
Anyway, it is the price you want to lower. This matter has a dime to do with Hollywood.
We are now in the country and must follow the domestic plan. However, if you choose not to do it, I will support you. Sometimes I feel that Zhou Xingxing is a bit stingy."
Feng Xiaogang's words were definitely meant to offend Ye Ming, and he directly slapped Zhou Xingxing in the face. This guy is indeed a small steel cannon with powerful firepower. Not only did he offend Ye Ming, but he also took Zhou Xingxing by surprise.
It was also sorted out.
If this word spreads, it will be a very big news. But according to the situation at the scene, Fan Binbin is counting on Feng Xiaogang's movie, so naturally he won't care about this.
Although the relationship between Uncle Ge and Feng Xiaogang is very good, he naturally sides with Feng Xiaogang.
Ye Ming saw that the heat was almost there. Therefore, in such a situation, Ye Ming said without any hurry: "This is not impossible to talk about. Two million, although it is a little less, but this matter
, if we all sit down and talk, maybe we can work it out.
And you don't have to go to so much trouble. Just go back and say it. If you want a simple two million, then I really can't accept it, especially at this critical time, it is even more impossible to accept it.
However, this does not mean that this matter cannot be discussed. However, if we want to talk, it cannot be done through an intermediary. It must be discussed with Zhou Xingxing. Some things can be explained clearly face to face."
These words made Feng Xiaogang very happy. In fact, under such a situation, Feng Xiaogang actually made it very clear when he first came that the three of them might come in vain.
After all, the price of two million is not worthy of Ye Ming's worth. However, if Ye Ming refuses completely, then Feng Xiaogang will appear incompetent at this time.
If Ye Ming could agree to have a detailed discussion with Zhou Xingxing, this result would be enough for Feng Xiaogang to go back to work.
Therefore, Feng Xiaogang immediately said: "Zi Zi, although we are lobbyists, we still want to do whatever you want. You don't have to worry about our feelings. We are just spreading the word."
This was completely explained. When he left, Ge You also stood up, patted Ye Ming on the shoulder and said, "Come on Ye Zi. If you can stick to your ideals, stick to your ideals."
Back at Huayi Brothers, Feng Xiaogang directly explained the conversation with Ye Ming. Wang Zhongjun listened with great interest. There is a lot of knowledge in this matter. Therefore, it is not as simple as it seems on the surface.
.
What is Ye Ming doing? Wang Zhongjun hesitated and said: "Xiaogang, this matter is weird. Ye Ming didn't agree at all at first. But in the end, everyone still has a chance to talk. According to what you said to Ye Ming
Understand, which side should we stand on such a matter?"
Ye Ming's lingering words made Wang Zhongjun very emotional. Ye Ming has grown to such a point.
That was Zhou Xingxing's movie. There were only a few stars in China who had enough confidence to say the same thing as Ye Ming, but the result was only a handful.
Therefore, at this time, Feng Xiaogang was also a little hesitant. This matter was best a win-win situation. He thought for a while and said: "What's the point? Zhou Xingtuo is related to us, so we have already talked with Ye Ming. Everyone
Just sit down and talk together.
This is already very sincere. If it means that the negotiation cannot be completed, it means it has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we have completed Zhou Xingxing's commission, don't you think?"
This is true. In such a situation, deceiving Ye Ming is already a great success. Whether Zhou Xingxing can win Ye Ming is Ye Ming's business.
Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun's eyes also lit up, and he nodded and said: "Yes, yes. We have done our best to do this. Anyway, Zhou Xingxing already owes us a favor."
After saying this, Wang Zhongjun hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Change the topic, Xiaogang, what do you think about Ye Ming's Slumdog Millionaire movie? Given the right opportunity, reporters wouldn't mind being disgusted by it.
Some people will definitely cause an uproar. Please tell me your opinion." Feng Xiaogang was straightforward this time, and he knew his friends very well.
Therefore, on such a question, Feng Xiaogang said directly: "I watched part of the rough cut of a very good movie. It is a very good movie. At least if you look at the problem from a human perspective, it is very good.
I dare not say that it can conquer all the popularity of this movie, but at least it is powerful now. This kind of literary and artistic film is a new attempt."
Feng Xiaogang praised Ye Ming's movie as very good. After Fang Nan received the news, he told Zhou Xingxing directly. This made Zhou Xingxing's eyes light up. Ye Ming did not directly agree to this matter. This has already happened.
It was as expected by Zhou Xingxing.
If Ye Ming insists on the price of four million, then it will be impossible to continue the negotiation. Zhou Xingxing will also go home.
As Zhang Xueyou said, you are young and are not afraid of failure.
At this moment, Zhou Xingxing nodded and said: "Then we have talked about it. If it works, there is no problem. You go back and talk to Huayi. We plan to meet tomorrow to see how something like this will go.
A result."
Ye Ming agreed to talk, which was already a pretty good start. It proved that Ye Ming was quite interested in his new drama. Fang Nan nodded and agreed.
If you are not crazy, you will not survive. Zhou Xingxing is such a person. His persistence for art is very stubborn, which is definitely not something ordinary people can understand.
It is simply unimaginable that someone with such a status as Zhou Xingxing would bow down to Ye Ming for one person.
But to Zhou Xingxing, this matter was normal and Ye Ming was suitable for this role. Therefore, Zhou Xingxing tried every means to get Ye Ming to join the team. At two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, this time it was in Huayi Brothers' private conference room.
In fact, this place is very difficult to find.
Zhou Xingxing came late, seven minutes longer than the scheduled time. At this time, Zhou Xingxing didn’t have the airs of a superstar at all, and he didn’t feel that Zhou Xingxing’s temper might have been misunderstood by a large number of people. As a result, in fact, it was still
That's really it.
Zhou Xingxing said straight to the point: "Mr. Ye, I came to you today because I want to invite you to participate in my new film Shaolin Football Players. I have had this book in my hands for a long time. I want to
This script became a reality movie, but I lacked my own supporters, and I made one mistake and another mistake. I hope that the best actors can gather together to make this movie. Your salary, I can only offer 200.
Wan, I know this price is not your net worth, but that's all I can offer."
In fact, before Zhou Xingxing came here, he had been pondering for a long time about how he was going to face Ye Ming. If he just let it go and just opened the door, then such a thing would definitely cause quite a stir.
of great disaster.
After all, after Ye Ming has concluded the negotiation, Zhou Xingxing will use his identity as director to strictly demand Ye Ming to implement it seriously, so Ye Ming cannot feel too proud.
But if you don't tell this matter, it is even more impossible. This time you come here just to get Ye Ming to agree and to give Ye Ming a blow?
It seems like this is not possible.
Therefore, after thinking for a long time, Zhou Xingxing could not think of a reason. In the end, as time approached, it became more and more difficult to change this matter.
Therefore, Zhou Xingxing thought for a while and decided to tell such a matter directly. He wanted to see how Ye Ming dealt with this situation.
Ye Ming was more straightforward and said directly: "Of course this is negotiable. Although it is impossible to hire me with this remuneration of two million, but I have seen Director Zhou's sincerity, so I don't mean
I can't agree, but when signing the contract, I hope everyone will add that I want to invest in this drama. In this case, I will have an excuse of two million. Because this drama is my investment, therefore,
People from the Screen Actors Guild just can’t say what’s going on.”
Ye Ming's words surprised Zhou Xingxing, and even Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang were immediately speechless.
Ye Ming is always able to bring surprises to people.
Ye Ming's own investment in shares is something that Ye Ming has prepared for a long time ago. (To be continued.)
