Entertainment starting from 1 yuan

Chapter 67

What Jiang Xixi said was actually more of a casual mention, because the other party only sent the message not long ago.

And if it's two days later
Han Sheng's price has risen, and it is estimated that the other party will have to pay more to be included in the screening list—but what she doesn't know is that the most annoying thing about this guest opposite at this time is:
Add money.

Looking at another part of the capital, Lu Yabin was sitting on the sofa and said to the man walking back and forth across from him: "Okay, there's no need to walk around like this. They don't reply to your messages so quickly, so you just Wait a while."

The man on the other side was not so calm: "Isn't my time too tight? It would be better if I could come back sooner."

The project he asked Han Sheng for was a role in a play.

The filming of this film is about to start, and the actors must be finalized as soon as possible.

He also didn't want all kinds of incidents to happen during the filming.

"Han Sheng is probably busy with the last episode of his other show right now."

Lu Yabin took a sip of water, feeling a little helpless: "The traffic is very busy. It would be fine if you could have a chat with him in "Longing for Life", but now you must take your time."

"...Take your time, but you can only take your time."

The man sighed with a smile on his face and could only make a joke:
"My current supporting role in the movie actually doesn't have many roles and the difficulty is not high, so I just want to find someone to play it. It turns out that the salary is so high, I really am"

"The current market is like this, the salary is high, but it's better to be safe."

Lu Yabin also comforted that as the producer of this film, he must think about things from the perspective of investors.

However, what the other person said also makes sense:
This movie of the man opposite is the sequel of the series.

When the first film was filmed, it was almost a state where no one was optimistic about it, and no one cared about it.

I had to spend most of my own money to make movies, and I had to go through a lot of preparation for this.Including spending a year and a half experiencing life personally, investing all of his savings, and spending years polishing.
In such a movie, the actors usually do their best.

But most will fail.

Because not every actor is suitable to be a director.
The few successful transformations that are seen now are just exceptions, and the more failed filmings have not been seen - well, it cannot be said that those have not been seen, such as Wang Baoqiang's "Havoc in Tianzhu" It was seen, and it was quite a failure.
But fortunately, this time the other party succeeded.

Tens of millions of investment, in exchange for hundreds of millions of box office in the end, so that both the investor and himself have benefited a lot.

So after the first success, the second time soon went much smoother.

After a year, the next one started: on the one hand, the preparation of this time has experience, and on the other hand, sufficient funds, so it only took half a year of preparation time.

Just a little too much money.

When filming the first part, it was said that it was a waste of money and owed a lot of favors.

As a result, after making money, people rushing to invest in the second part, and people who are loyal like him don't often refuse.So the investment is getting more and more, more and more, and finally the crew is not short of money at the same time...

Everyone is a little cautious.

The more you bet, the more likely you are to lose.

So I put forward a lot of requirements: one of them is that in order to ensure the box office, there must be traffic to participate in the performance to increase protection.

As a director, he also agreed.

After a few years of this matter, everyone will question: Well, this kind of movie is looking for traffic, are you sure it is not to reduce the box office?

But now, the traffic myth is still there.

Prices are skyrocketing.

It is indeed the investors who seriously consider it as a guarantee factor for the box office.

"I understand, but my focus is not traffic."

The man turned around and sat next to Lu Yabin: "It's not that I can't accept it, it's a commercial film after all. But if you use the money to find traffic, it's fine. If you can't find people with the money, you have to add more money; just add a little bit and forget it." , and it turned out that it was going to shout 1 million in the end."

"When I made "Wolf Warrior", the total investment was not even 1 million."

After saying these words, Wu Jing sat on the sofa listlessly.

In fact, he always felt that he could get a relatively high salary.
But the salary can't be so outrageous.

He started filming at the age of 21. After several years of filming, the mainland martial arts star market was weak, so he could only go to Hong Kong to develop.As a result, I was squeezed out by the Hong Kong circle at that time: the Hong Kong film circle back then was indeed quite powerful.

Still pretty exclusive.

Wu Jing's difficulty in mixing among these people can be imagined.

But then he finally gained a certain reputation, but he was always an outsider, and with the decline of rural and Hong Kong movies, Wu Jing found a new path for himself in the follow-up:
Playing roles such as serving tea and being a soldier.

Anyway, he came here all the way, and then returned to the mainland, and it seemed to be going well: from "I Am a Special Forces: Knife Unsheathed", to "Wolf Warrior" and "Slaying Wolf 2", he has had a good time in the past few years. It's pretty good, and the status is rising year by year.

At least after becoming a director, I have seen a lot more than actors.

But even so, he, who claimed to have opened his eyes, was stunned when he saw some traffic remuneration for the first time:

Just a few days' schedule,

As a mascot, as long as the acting is decent,
This starts with millions or even tens of millions?
Earn money too fast...

But it's not that he doesn't know how to be flexible. After thinking about it, he can accept this price, because everyone says that the market is indeed like this.

As a result, after talking with the other party for a while, they changed their minds.

A direct offer of [-] million.

He was speechless for a while:
If you agree, according to the current investment of the film, more than half of the money will be given to the little fresh meat?

What else are you taking pictures of?

But some investors told him, what is this? It’s not uncommon to be able to hire the “top class” with half the salary. Many dramas have invested [-] to [-]% to hire stars.And the opponent's powerful fans, with all kinds of capital blessings, will definitely be able to return to their original blah blah blah.
It seems to sound like a sure-fire deal.

But the problem is that even if it can really make money, the income will be in the later stage. The actors gave all the money in the early stage. Where will the money for the filming come from?

Can it make a good movie?

Speaking of it, the past few years in China have indeed been exaggerated.

Referring to overseas examples, for example, in Hollywood, where the film industry is well-developed, in general movies, actors' remuneration is only about 10% to 30% of the total cost.

When popular actors want more money, they want to participate in the movie share.

For example, if you invest 2 million yuan, you will get 1000 million yuan in salary + 5% of the box office.I successfully tied the actor and the movie together, and the movie earns the actor as well, so naturally I work harder when filming.

In domestic movies, the stars basically take the money and leave, and they are not responsible for the film, anyway, the money is in their hands.

This is not a good thing.

So this condition is basically unacceptable to him.

Then, Wu Jing quickly realized:

Shouting such a high price is actually more likely because he didn't want to accept the film, that is, he refused in another way.

In short, the result of everything is:

They need new traffic.

After asking and asking, they all said that there is no schedule, or they just need to add money, add drama, it is best to be the second protagonist or something...

That is naturally impossible.

Things have been in such a stalemate until not long ago, when Lu Yabin took "Journey to the West 3", which he also produced, to promote a new program.Originally, I went for my old friend Huang Yan, but I met a pretty good kid named Han Sheng, and even heard his brilliant song "Love of My Life", so we talked about the song on the spot.

After coming back, the more I think about it, the more I like it.

He got up and wanted to search for other works of the other party, to see if he could also play music for "Wolf Warrior 2".

Then I realized that this Han Sheng seems to be very hot...

Eh?Isn't that what they want?

Reminiscent of the fact that "Awakening of Insects 2" was able to enter the second side, this level has already surpassed a lot of traffic on the market...

That's enough.

So he originally wanted to take advantage of the time when Wu Jing also went to the show to promote "Big Talk 3"... Yes, he also participated in this movie... the director's contact interview and so on. The kind of luck, they have to start acting immediately.

Tonight, they actually contacted Jiang Xixi.

According to previous experience:
After contacting the agent, the other party will call me back and forth tonight, and then in a few days, it will be the company, discussing various aspects, and finally the star himself, who is still holding the pipa and half covering his face, will give the answer.

But looking at today, it seems that the first level has not been passed.

Is there no chance?

The successive setbacks made him doubt for a while, whether he is still a well-known director who has made successful works.

"Don't think about it, maybe I'll be back soon..."

Lu Yabin comforted.

"jingling jingling..."

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived, the phone rang suddenly.It's just that Wu Jing picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number: "Hello?"

The voice on the other side is normal.

But Wu Jing always felt that the other party seemed a little excited: "Hi director, I'm Han Sheng, would you like to contact me to play a role in "Wolf Warrior 2"..."

A few minutes ago, Shanhai Century.

Jiang Xixi looked at Han Sheng who was holding the tablet, and suddenly froze when he saw the information on it, thinking that he didn't like it.

"If you don't want to pick it up, it doesn't matter."

She was about to take back the tablet, and then said: "I know what you said, don't be so anxious to accept the role, you can just take a look at this."

After all, Han Sheng is a singer.

It doesn't matter whether you accept it or not, as long as there is this opportunity, it must be for Han Sheng's purpose, let him decide whether to participate or not.

Then she swipe the tablet...it won't work.

Pump again, still not moving.

"... "

The tablet seemed to be dead, firmly stuck in Han Sheng's hand: "No, I can think about it."

"Ah? Can you consider it?"

Jiang Xixi was wondering, but what happened next,
It directly confused her on the spot...

Time goes back to the present.

It was also the first time for Wu Jing on the other end of the phone to contact his agent, and he was able to receive a reply from the traffic himself. He couldn't help being a little happy: "Yes, have you read our script and characters here, are you interested?"

This made Lu Yabin sigh:

No, if you ask this question, don’t you first talk about the specific shooting time, various advantages and so on?
Others must have requests too!

As a result, Han Sheng on the other end of the phone seemed to be a different person: "After watching it, of course I am interested." Then he said mysteriously: "Actually, I am an actor, or I really want to be an actor..."

Jiang Xixi next to him was also dumbfounded:
Leaving aside that you just glanced at the script and the characters, when did you want to be an actor?

Give me a break!

Or, could it be that this guy is a fan of Wu Jing?
Only then will the mindless pursuit come.

But in short, Wu Jing was happy: "That's good, it seems that we both have intentions. Since this is the case, you are also in the capital, right? Shall we make an appointment for a meal and an interview?"

"Okay, but I have a request."

Han Sheng said.

"What request, you say."

Wu Jing was very happy to see Han Sheng today. He couldn't help but feel good about him, and he spoke happily.

Unexpectedly, Han Sheng paused and said:
"In terms of your salary, I think you can change it."

"... "

Wu Jing was speechless immediately.

Well, the last one talked about adding money at the end; this one too, but it's just more direct.

A little frustrated for a while:

I thought I met someone I was really interested in, but I didn't expect it to be for money in the end.Although earning money is very important, if it is mainly for earning money, then it is probably not the artist he wants to work with...

He was hesitating, but Lu Yabin stared desperately.

He could only speak, but his tone became somewhat official: "You can add more money, but if the price exceeds a certain range, we may need to think about it."

"Ah, I didn't say about adding money, did I?"

Han Sheng's tone on the other end of the phone became calmer.

"... "

But instead of relaxing, Wu Jing tensed up inexplicably, feeling something was wrong.

always feel...

The other party is holding a small abacus, planning something.

With this feeling, Han Sheng also continued:

"I can even give a more friendly price, but if you have to add money, you do have to add money, but for this money... I will tell the director directly that I want to bring an investment into the team."

　It is still the adjustment of film and television works to avoid aesthetic fatigue.
