Chapter 995: The King Sees the King
Two million, this price was actually expected by Ye Ming, Zhou Xingxing would definitely be able to offer such a price. But this doesn't mean that Ye Ming is just like that.
Therefore, Ye Ming said helplessly: "The three are not outsiders, I will tell you the truth, it is impossible for me to agree to this price, maybe it is said that before the Oscars, if the three of them are lobbyists, I can agree to this price." But now it's impossible, now the price of a supporting role in the United States is 500,000 US dollars, or Spielberg's movie, which means that even if I am a supporting role in the future, the price will at least be based on this, after all, there are actually few directors in Hollywood who are better than Spielberg. ”
Yes, if it is a commercial film director, then Spielberg is indeed a rare opponent. He gave Ye Ming a total of 500,000 US dollars, equivalent to 4 million Huaxia yuan, in this way, after performing in Spielberg's movie, Ye Ming's net worth will definitely rise, which is almost certain, it is normal for an actor to appear in a movie with a big director, and his net worth will rise, so four million, this is indeed a basic price.
Zhou Xingxing gave two million, which is a lot less. Fan Binbin said unceremoniously: "The situation in China is different from that in Hollywood, and almost no one in China can get the investment of minority reports." 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 the moment that it is not worth it to bring Fan Binbin, a girl. How can this girl talk and stand on Ye Ming's side.
Girl, you're on our side.
Ye Ming loosened his shoulders and said, "If I dare to agree to this price, I will definitely be killed by Sister Fang Fang, and she will be killed in minutes." If this price is known to people outside, how will I make movies in the future, and how will I ask for a salary. Everyone in Hollywood will say it.
Your salary in China is only 250,000 US dollars, why should I give you a high salary here. ”
Ye Ming's words really made Fan Binbin a little speechless, it is true, in such a situation. Fan Binbin finally died down, and he completely lost his combat effectiveness.
It is very difficult for an actor's worth to rise and win awards. Acting in blockbusters, dark horse movies, etc., which may greatly improve the value of actors. But the process is slow.
However, if it is said in the case of a good appearance. If you lower your net worth. That's pretty much the time for a movie.
Therefore, any actor will be very cautious when reducing his salary to make a movie, whether it is a superstar or an ordinary actor, he will not easily use this flashlight.
Therefore, what Ye Ming said is basically irrefutable. It is impossible for him to delay his work in Hollywood for the sake of Zhou Xingxing's movie. Seeing Ye Ming's sworn look, in such a situation. Feng Xiaogang said: "Zhou Xingxing's side is favor, and this money is secondary." This favor is great. You can help him this time, if you say that next time you have a suitable movie to cooperate with Zhou Xingxing, you can also ask him to play a supporting role at a cost price. ”
This is a very common situation, but Ye Ming shook his head and said: "I am a member of the Screen Actors Guild of America, so it is impossible for me to accept this price even if I want to accept it at such a time, members have their own reserve price, if it is lower than this reserve price, then it is impossible for the Screen Actors Guild to let me go." ”
A large part of the work of the Screen Actors Guild is to ensure the legal income of its members. This is an important reason why so many big Hollywood stars join the screen actors union.
Hearing this, things seemed to have reached an impasse, because what Ye Ming said was very clear, at such a time, it was very difficult to want Ye Ming to agree, at least now Feng Xiaogang was also a little frustrated.
At this time, Feng Xiaogang was full of firepower and said: "Are they in charge of you in the United States about this matter?"
Anyway, the price you want to lower is a dime to do with Hollywood.
Now that we are in China, we must follow the domestic plan. However, if you choose not to do it, I also support you, Zhou Xingxing, I sometimes feel more picky. ”
Feng Xiaogang's words were definitely aimed at offending Ye Ming, and he directly slapped Zhou Xingxing in the face. This guy deserves to be a small steel cannon with powerful firepower, not only said Ye Ming, but also piggybacked on Zhou Xingxing.
If this is the case, it will be very big news. But in this 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, it is natural to stand on Feng Xiaogang's side.
Ye Ming saw that the heat was almost there, so in such a situation, Ye Ming was not in a hurry and said: "This is not impossible to discuss, two million, although it is a little less, but this matter, everyone sits down and talks, maybe it can be negotiated."
And you don't have to go through that much trouble. If you want to be a simple 2 million, then I really can't accept it, especially at this critical time, it's impossible to accept it.
However, this is not a matter that cannot be discussed. However, if you want to talk, it is not a middleman like this, you must talk with Zhou Xingxing, and some things should be explained clearly in person. ”
This made Feng Xiaogang very happy, in fact, in such a situation, Feng Xiaogang actually made it very clear when he first came, the three of them came, it was possible to come in vain.
After all, the price of two million is sorry for Ye Ming's worth. However, if Ye Ming said that he completely refused, then Feng Xiaogang would also seem incompetent at this time.
Ye Ming was able to promise to talk to Zhou Xingxing in detail, and this result was enough for Feng Xiaogang to go back to the business.
Therefore. Feng Xiaogang immediately said: "Ye Zi, although we are lobbyists, we still want to do what you want." We don't have to worry about our feelings, we're just passing on a word. ”
These words were also completely clear, and when he left, Ge You also stood up, patted Ye Ming's shoulder and said, "Come on, Yezi, if you can stick to your ideals, stick to your ideals." ”
Back to the Huayi Brothers, Feng Xiaogang directly told him about the conversation with Ye Ming. Wang Zhongjun here is also relishing what he hears, and the knowledge in this matter is great, therefore. It's not as simple as it seems.
Ye Ming, what is this messing about? Wang Zhongjun hesitated for a moment and said, "Xiaogang, this matter is very strange, Ye Ming didn't agree at all at first. But in the end. Everyone still has a chance to talk, according to your understanding of Ye Ming, which side should we be on such a thing?"
Ye Ming's words made Wang Zhongjun also very emotional. Ye Ming has already grown to such a point.
That's Zhou Xingxing's movie, and there are a few stars in China who have enough confidence to say the same thing as Ye Ming, but the result is only a handful.
Therefore, at this time, Feng Xiaogang was also a little hesitant. It's better to be a win-win situation, he thought for a moment and said, "What's there." Zhou Xingxing has a relationship with us, then we have already talked to Ye Ming, let's just sit down and talk about it.
This is already very sincere. If it can't be negotiated, it has nothing to do with us. Anyway, we have completed Zhou Xingxing's commission, don't you say?"
This is not wrong, in such a situation, fooling Ye Ming is already a considerable success. Whether Zhou Xingxing can take down Ye Ming or not, that is Ye Ming's business.
Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun's eyes also lit up, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, we have done our best to do this thing." Anyway, Zhou Xingxing's favor is already owed to us. ”
After saying this, Wang Zhongjun hesitated for a moment, but still said: "Change the topic, Xiaogang, you have the right opportunity for Ye Ming to broadcast the millionaire in the slums, this movie will not mind disgusting some people, it will definitely cause an uproar." Tell us what you think. Feng Xiaogang was simply direct this time, he knew his friends very well.
Therefore, on such a question, Feng Xiaogang said directly: "I watched a part of a very good movie, a very good movie." At least from the perspective of human nature, it is a very good movie, I dare not say that it can conquer all the heat, but at least it is powerful now, this kind of literary film, but a new attempt. ”
Feng Xiaogang praised Ye Ming's movie very well, after Fang Nan received the news, he directly told Zhou Xingxing, this also made Zhou Xingxing's eyes shine, Ye Ming did not directly agree to this matter, this was already expected by Zhou Xingxing.
If Ye Ming had to insist on the price of four million, then such a thing would mean that it would be impossible to talk about it. Zhou Xingxing will also go home.
As Zhang Xueyou said, you are young and not afraid of failure.
At this moment, Zhou Xingxing nodded and said: "That's what to talk about, it's done, there's no problem, you go back and talk to Huayi, we plan to meet tomorrow to see what the outcome of such a thing will be." ”
Ye Ming agreed to talk about it, this is already quite a good start, which proves that Ye Ming is still quite interesting about his new play. At this point, Fang Nan nodded and agreed.
If you don't go crazy, you can't live, Zhou Xingxing is such a person. He is very stubborn for the sake of art, which is definitely not understandable to ordinary people.
With a status like Zhou Xingxing, it was unthinkable to bow to Ye Ming for the sake of a person.
But in Zhou Xingxing's opinion, this thing is normal, Ye Ming is suitable for this role, so Zhou Xingxing tried his best to pull Ye Ming into the gang. At two o'clock in the afternoon the next day, this time it was in the private conference room of Huayi Brothers, in fact, this place is very difficult to find.
Zhou Xingxing came late, seven minutes longer than the booked time. At this time, Zhou Xingxing was not 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, it really is.
Zhou Xingxing said straight to the point: "Mr. Ye, I came to you today to invite you to participate in my new film Shaolin Football Player." I've had this book in my hands for a long time. I wanted to turn this book into a real movie, but I lacked my own supporters, one wrong step, one wrong step. I hope that the best actors can come together and make this film. Your salary. I can only open 2 million, and I know that this price is not your net worth, but I can take out so much. ”
Actually, Zhou Xingxing, before coming, also pondered for a long time, how to face Ye Ming. If it is said that it is left unattended, then such a thing will definitely cause considerable disaster.
After all, after Ye Ming finished talking, Zhou Xingxing would use his identity as a director to strictly require Ye Ming to implement it seriously, so that Ye Ming could not feel too proud.
But if you say that if you don't say this thing, it is even more impossible, this time I want Ye Ming to agree, and give Ye Ming a dismissal?
It doesn't seem to work that way.
Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Zhou Xingxing couldn't come up with a reason. Eventually, as the time approached, it became more and more difficult to change the matter.
Therefore, Zhou Xingxing thought about it, and he still told such a thing straightforwardly, he wanted to see how Ye Ming dealt with this situation.
Ye Ming was also more straightforward, and said directly: "This is naturally negotiable, although two million, it is impossible to invite me for this salary, but I saw Director Zhou's sincerity, so I didn't say that I couldn't agree, but when I signed the contract, I hope you add one more, 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, the people in the actors' union just can't say anything about the high and low salary. ”
Ye Ming's words made Zhou Xingxing feel very surprised, and even Wang Zhongjun and Feng Xiaogang were directly speechless.
Ye Ming, this guy is always able to surprise people.
Ye Ming's own shareholding, which in itself was something that Ye Ming had prepared for a long time. (To be continued......)
