I became famous after I didn't grow tall

The budget-conscious Wei Lan was only encountered in the first movie. Now that she has abundant funds, she has become that director Wei in the world who only serves the movie and cares about nothing else.

If all the problems with Gu Yun's contract could be solved at once, allowing him to focus on filming, the price would be less than 10 million, which Wei Lanjue wouldn't have to worry about.

Because of the nature of the role in this movie, it is a big challenge for the actor's mental state. Wei Lan has a prepayment of "mental damage compensation" in it, especially since she plans to make a series of movies and needs to sign a long-term contract with the actor. , to ensure that no one needs to be replaced in other movies due to actor factors.

Of course, Wei Lan didn't insist on grabbing people and stuffing them with money, so he left it to Secretary Wang to negotiate Gu Yun's termination bonus and specific remuneration.

Secretary Wang also had a headache when he received this request the next day.

Director Wei is good at everything, but since the box office results have been good, he has started to pay less attention to the production expenses. As Wei Mingjie's producer, he still stands by her. Anyway, Wei Lan said that he wanted to invest without any hesitation. of.

When it comes to Secretary Wang, a concrete staff member, her financial acumen and professional ethics make her unable to control herself to save production costs as much as possible.

Starting with some of the supporting roles in "The King" and preparing for this public casting call, Secretary Wang took on the job of 'patching' Wei Lan.

As the saying goes, when a leader opens his mouth, his subordinates will lose their legs. This is the truth.

However, looking at the generous bonus on the salary slip, Secretary Wang said that he could still shoulder more responsibilities.

"Mr. Gu, this is the contract we offer here."

In this contract, in addition to fully paying Gu Yun's full termination fee, he will also be given an additional five million in salary.

The negotiation was a bargaining process. Wei Lan gave a standard of 10 million. Secretary Wang showed his ability to work, and he had to reduce other parts of the salary while providing Gu Yun with termination bonus.

According to industry standards, although Gu Yun is not a newcomer, for such a celebrity, the salary of five million for this movie is very generous.

This condition was given because the budget given by Wei Lan was sufficient, and because Secretary Wang provided another role agreement. In other words, Gu Yun was able to receive a second salary in addition to the termination fee, and he needed to sign the role agreement. .

This movie will be a series of movies in the future. The role played by Gu Yun, whether it is the protagonist or a supporting role in the series of movies, must ensure that he can cooperate with the acting and reshoots.

In addition, the remuneration for subsequent movies will be set according to the box office ratio of the previous movie. This standard is very reasonable, and it also stipulates an upper limit to prevent actors from asking for excessive prices later.

Gu Yun brought a lawyer with him, who was a good friend of his.

Although he has been lonely in recent years, he has made some close friends, and Lawyer Zhou is one of them.

Because he terminated his contract with Ji Company very early, the person he consulted at that time was Lawyer Zhou. Through him, he also learned that Ji Company, where he originally worked, was a big trap for making money through termination fees.

"The content of this contract is roughly like this..."

Lawyer Zhou explained the detailed terms to Gu Yun. This contract was considered kind. However, from the perspective of safeguarding the interests of his clients, Lawyer Zhou also told Gu Yun that there was room for growth in this agreement, because everyone knew about Wei Lan’s business. Value, if this movie is up to par with her previous films, it will have a promising future.

Yang Xingyuan is a good example. From an unknown bit actor to the current actor, the span is huge.

Gu Yun's best solution right now is not to sign a role agreement, but to sell the movie at a high price after filming, and get high profits.

After listening to Lawyer Zhou's explanation, Gu Yun directly took the pen and signed the two agreements, which was more straightforward than when he signed the contract with Ji Company. Although he fell into the trap at that time, he went back to study it. , but he didn’t have any contacts in the entertainment industry, so he thought he signed a normal contract.

But it was different now. Wei Lan had pulled him out of hell. Even if he didn't get the extra salary, the contract issue could be resolved. Gu Yun was very willing to participate in the filming of this movie... No, even if the contract issue couldn't be resolved, , Gu Yun is also willing.

Seeing this scene, Secretary Wang and Lawyer Zhou were both stunned.

Because according to their past experience in business negotiations, the two sides should have another round of back-and-forth. Finally, Secretary Wang signed the contract according to the standard of 10 million given by Wei Lan. Lawyer Zhou could also gain more benefits for Gu Yun in terms of role terms. .

“A pleasure to work with.”

Secretary Wang stood up and stretched out his hand to Gu Yun.

Gu Yun also shook hands with her with a smile on his face. Lawyer Zhou on the side saw this and said nothing. Although this contract has many profit margins, the conditions are very generous and reasonable.

Overall, the result was a very satisfying conclusion for both parties.

Seeing Gu Yun with a smile on his face and an excited expression, Secretary Wang couldn't help but wonder what exactly Director Wei had done to Gu Yun to make him so stubborn.

It wasn't until some time later, after Gu Yun terminated his contract with Yuanji Company, that he signed a contract with Wei Lan Studio, and then Secretary Wang suddenly realized——

It turns out that Director Wei is on the third floor!

"Ah...sneeze..."

In the Wei family villa, Wei Lan sneezed. Ye Luoxue looked at it and picked up a coat to wrap it up for her.

"It's already October, already autumn. You've been busy during this period, so don't be weak and catch a cold."

Wei Lan, who was wrapped in a plush coat, didn't say anything. She just wore a coat when she was wearing a coat. She was given this panda-shaped plush sweatshirt. She didn't believe there was no evil in it!

During this period, Wei Lanyi was busy with casting matters. Gu Yun, one of the protagonists, and most of the supporting characters were selected based on their suitability for the roles. The biggest among them was Qiao Jiamu.

There is no one else who can fulfill this role, but Qiao Jiamu is the best one both in appearance and in terms of appearance.

Qiao Jiamu was very surprised when he received Wei Lan's invitation. It was also because of Wei Lan's straightforwardness that it caused a wonderful misunderstanding, making him think that he had been rejected. After knowing that he was a supporting role, Qiao Jiamu was also happy Agree to act.

As an artist under the studio, Yang Xingyuan, an all-purpose jigsaw puzzle actor, has also participated in this movie this time. Wei Lan only invited him to come in a difficult role because the other party had recently accepted a leading role in a movie and had other supporting roles. When people are competent, Wei Lan does not take others' kindness as a matter of course.

"Don't you have a clue about the other protagonist?"

After dinner, Wei Mingjie took the initiative to ask Wei Lan about this matter.

Wei Lan shook her head. The preparation time for this movie far exceeded her previous records. Because the casting has not yet been decided, the role is more difficult. Also because this series of movies has many factors to consider, and it is necessary to find someone who can guarantee the success. Actors who continue to work together.

Wei Mingjie said: "Have you ever known the actor Chu Mo?"

As if he had vaguely heard the word, Wei Lan asked: "Actor?"

"Yes." Wei Mingjie said: "Known as a talented actor rarely seen in decades, she won the Golden Tripod Award for Best Supporting Actor in her first movie in five years. At that time, she was only sixteen years old. Later she jumped to the top She went to Capital University and graduated this year. She just registered her status as an actress with the Screen Actors Guild two days ago. She has not yet signed a contract with any company. Currently, most companies in the entertainment industry are contacting her..."

When Wei Mingjie said this, Wei Lan got up. She had seen the word Chu Mo before. After all, there were not that many young talented actors in the entertainment industry. When Wei Lan was watching, there was no news that Chu Mo could play the role. , and another point is that after determining the role of Gu Yun, Wei Lan tended to choose a man of the same gender as another protagonist.

Because the relationship between the two protagonists is very subtle, if they choose one gender, the audience's attention and attention will be diverted in the direction of love, and this movie has nothing to do with love.

Wei Lan explained the method in general, and Wei Sijia on the side finished listening and said, "But, can you stop the audience from chopping?"

Wei Lan: "Eh?"

It seems that I have discovered a blind spot in my thinking.

Wei Sijia said: "I suggest you go check out Lalang Pei on Station D."

Wei Lan, who followed the suggestion, opened Station D and looked at all the bizarre couples on Station D with the expression of a subway grandpa looking at his cell phone. There was no barrier to gender, no barrier to material objects, and no barrier to even the world view... Wei Lan Suddenly I felt that my considerations were really superfluous.

"I think you can invite her to audition first. In the entire entertainment industry at the moment, she is the most talented actor who can meet the requirements of your role." Wei Mingjie also chatted beside him, talking about what he had achieved, and joked: "Chu Mo can be a major actor in major movies." The company is trying its best to win over her. I heard that Chengguang has spent a lot of money to sign her. If you can drag her into your studio, Chengguang's senior management is afraid that she will die. "

No matter from any aspect, inviting Chu Mo to audition was a good choice. Wei Lan nodded and immediately contacted Secretary Wang to invite Chu Mo to audition.
