Chapter 622: Low Salary
Wang Mao saw that the local reporters in the magic capital were stirring up trouble, and quickly ended the interview with the reporters on Morningstar's side.
Seeing that Morning Star was unwilling to answer their questions, the local reporters rushed back to Mr. Yunman, and the reporter from Huiwen.com asked:
"Teacher Yunman, your IP is so famous, why didn't you let Fu Liang play the heroine?"
Yun Man didn't want to step on the morning star at first, and said politely: "Fu Liang's schedule this year is too full, and I can't wait for her in this play, so I have to choose another actor." ”
Another reporter provoked: "Teacher Yunman, the circle has a good evaluation of Jiang Chenxing's acting skills, Jiang Chenxing also said that she is sure to make the actress in the play the most popular silly Bai Tian, the filmmaker is unwilling to wait for Fu Liang, is there also a factor that Jiang Chenxing's acting skills are better?"
Yun Man suddenly got angry, although Fu Liang's acting skills are not good, how can she allow others to publicly belittle Fu Liang like this?!
"How is an actor's acting skills, just look at her worth, the price of Fu Liang's next TV series is 8 million, as far as I know, Jiang Chenxing is only worth 3 million for this TV series!"
When the reporters and cast and crew in the audience heard that Morningstar's salary was so low, they immediately whispered, and a local reporter said to his colleagues: "Ah, so low? This is the price of the fourth and fifth lines, no wonder the crew invited her." ”
His colleague said: "It seems that the crew has no money, can the heroine invite such a coffee actor......, can she play it well?
Morningstar listened to these discussions, only to know that her salary was low, which actually meant poor acting skills and low coffee position, she felt a little uncomfortable, no one would believe it, she liked this role too much, so she didn't care about the salary.
Pei Haoyuan on the side also looked at Morning Star in disbelief, he is not as famous as Morning Star, and his salary is higher than that of Morning Star, does she not understand the market?
Yun Man was so direct and said the actors' salaries, the reporters were very excited, and hurriedly asked: "Teacher Yun Man, did the film party sign with her because of Morning Star's low salary?"
Zhang Zhaohui and Wang Mao, who were listening to it, were angry, how could Teacher Yun Man be so open-mouthed? Not to mention that the value of the actor's contract is confidential, even if Fu Liang's value is high, can it show that her acting skills are good? !
And with her disclosure, those actors in the circle who have long wanted to suppress Morning Star will immediately publish a bunch of press releases, ridiculing Morning Star for tearing up resources with low salaries.
Wang Mao pulled Zhang Zhaohui aside and said, "You immediately go over and tell the reporter that Mr. Yunman's statement is wrong, Morningstar's salary for filming this TV series is 10 million, and 3 million was paid when signing the contract!"
Zhang Zhaohui looked at Wang Mao and said, "But ......."
Wang Mao knew what he wanted to say, and gave him the bottom: "You can actually pay 6 million." ”
Zhang Zhaohui nodded, there is Wang Mao as Morningstar's agent, just the money he saved in the later publicity is not a small amount, not to mention, he signed a contract with Morningstar at that time, and he did take a big advantage, he made a low price, I thought that Morningstar would pay back a high price, and then the two sides slowly talked about an intermediate price, who knew that Morningstar didn't make a counteroffer, and signed the contract directly!
He immediately walked to the rostrum, took an idle microphone, and said to the reporters in the audience: "Everyone, I signed the contract with the actors, Mr. Yun Man's information is wrong, Jiang Chenxing starred in this TV series, the salary is 10 million, everyone knows that the actor's salary is 30% before filming, and 70% after the filming of the drama, we are paying Jiang Chenxing 3 million down!"
Yun Man was slapped in the face on the spot, and she was so angry that her face was red, Morning Star's salary figure was what she heard Hong Zhou say, would Hong Zhou lie to her?
But what else can she say when the producer says that? What else can she say that the producer can't talk nonsense?
Seeing such a reversal, the local reporter felt that he could write a big article, and hurriedly asked Zhang Zhaohui: "You paid a first-line price to invite Jiang Chenxing to act in this drama, is it because of her excellent acting skills?"
Zhang Zhaohui was unequivocal: "Yes, we just invited her for her dedication and acting skills!"
Those reporters also wanted to ask him what he thought of Fu Liang's acting skills, but Zhang Zhaohui didn't want to offend Yun Man too hard, so he hurriedly ended the boot press conference.
After the press conference, Zhang Zhaohui entertained reporters at the Grand Hyatt Seafood Hotel, Mr. Yunman was so angry that he left without eating, Zhang Zhaohui did not keep her, and Wang Mao and the reporters who arrived today, everyone sat at two tables and drank eight bottles of Moutai, when the reporters left, Zhang Zhaohui wrapped a big red envelope for each reporter, and personally sent Wang Mao's people to the airport.
Wang Mao didn't go back, he was going to take his team to stay here for a few days, today's press conference was in this situation, he needed to see how the local reporters interpreted this matter, on the other hand, there were some things he had to teach Morningstar well.
After dinner and returning to the hotel, Wang Mao called Morning Star over and asked her: "Why did you sign your contract with the crew so low? I remember that you were already popular at that time, was your agent at that time not helpful?"
Morning Star said embarrassedly: "Don't blame her, I signed it on my own initiative, I read the script and felt that I liked this character very much, so I immediately signed a contract with Mr. Zhang, my agent was very angry with me when I read the contract, and she felt that I should sign at least 6 million." ”
Wang Mao nodded, that's right, even if her previous agent ability is average, she won't be so ignorant of the market.
He already knew that Morningstar was financially self-sufficient, and she didn't have a lot of money, but being able to care about money like this only showed two things, first, she liked acting too much, and second, she was simple by nature and lacked a concept of money.
But if she doesn't understand the rules like this, she will suffer a lot in the future, like Teacher Yunman's trampling today, it will continue to happen in the future.
He told Morning Star: "There are rules for which line of work, the value of an actor is the same as the price of goods, a penny of price is a penny of goods, the value is a direct reflection of the actor's popularity and commercial value, this price must be consistent with his own value, no one can set the price at will!"
"But ......" Morning Star was a little puzzled: "If you meet a character you particularly like, the filmmaker is short of money, can't you ask for less money?"
"No," Wang Mao told her about the current situation in the circle: "Whether a drama can be a big hit is closely related to the strength of the crew, if a crew doesn't even have the ability to pay the actors a reasonable salary, the crew doesn't have the ability to produce a TV series well." ”
"I don't approve of the sky-high asking price, but if the price is too low, it is self-destructing the Great Wall, for example, your current value, 8 million for a drama is the regular price, 6 million is barely acceptable, less than this number, it is self-depreciation, you have also seen it, if I didn't ask the producer to go up and clarify, you would immediately be the target of ridicule for the actor in the circle with you. ”
Morningstar had already realized that her previous behavior was very inappropriate, she said to Wang Mao: "You will negotiate these contracts in the future, the reason why I didn't go through my agent last time is because we have a big difference, I want to take a good script, she only admits money, I simply make my own opinion." ”
Wang Mao took out the contract that Zhang Zhaohui had redrafted for her, asked her to sign it, remembered what Mr. Hu said, Morningstar is a sincere person, and specially warned her: "Zhang Zhaohui has already said something, you can't say anything else, don't let the producer help us and help us out of the problem!"
Morning Star nodded: "Don't worry, boss, I remember, my salary for this drama is 10 million!"
