Lu Chen chatted with his sister for an hour and a half, and then went to sleep, the two brothers and sisters have a good relationship, and they can talk about anything together, although there are often cases of bickering.

Early the next morning, Lu Chen and they went to the film and television shooting base in Huacheng, and Chen Chuan's re-directing made people full of curiosity, and many people wanted to know what kind of movie this was.

Although it was just an ordinary audition, because of Chen Chuan's publicity, many well-known actors came, of course, some of them came with other purposes.

Seeing that there were more people auditioning at the audition scene than when he filmed the Barbarian Princess last time, Lu Chen was a little puzzled, what did this Chen Chuan do, why did so many people come?

At this time, a delicate-looking man came to Chen Chuan, and his appearance caused a commotion in the crowd.

After seeing this person, Chen Chuan asked suspiciously: "Sun Kai, are you filming nearby?"

Sun Kai is a well-known actor and one of the most popular traffic stars today, Chen Chuan doesn't think he is here to audition, after all, Chen Chuan said at the beginning that the salary they give is relatively low, so they need to use new actors.

And a big star like Sun Kai has a salary of at least 80 million or more, and they will not accept film and television dramas below this number.

Sun Kai smiled and said, "Director Chen, I'm also here to try out." ”

Hearing this, Chen Chuan was stunned.

This guy is kidding him, right?

Chen Chuan said in disbelief: "Don't be joking, I'm making a small movie, I'm afraid the cost of the movie is not enough to invite you." ”

Chen Chuan often cooperates with big stars like Sun Kai, so he naturally knows their salary requirements.

To be honest, although Sun Kai is a traffic star and belongs to the category of Xiao Xianrou, his acting skills are definitely not bad, if he can play the leading role in "Journey to the West", Chen Chuan is very welcome in his heart, but Chenyin Company wants to control the cost of the movie, this person must have no way to invite, or he can't afford to invite it.

Sun Kai smiled, glanced at Lu Chen next to Chen Chuan, and then continued: "Director Chen, I'm not joking with you. ”

"If the cost of the film is not enough, I can bring money into the group. ”

Hearing this, Chen Chuan frowned, he could see that Sun Kai was serious, but why did he do this?

A big star like Sun Kai used to be invited by the crew for a sky-high salary, but Sun Kai took the initiative to come to him today.

"I wonder why you wanted to make this movie. Chen Chuan asked.

"I believe that the movies that Director Chen wants to make are carefully selected by Director Chen, and I also believe in Director Chen's vision. ”

"Secondly, our company heard that the screenwriter of this drama is Chenlu, that is, the screenwriter of the unruly princess, you also know that the unruly princess is so popular, from this point it is enough to see the strength of this screenwriter, and our company is also optimistic about this movie. ”

"Also, I would love to work with Miss Shiyin once. ”

After hearing these three reasons, Lu Chen glanced at this Sun Kai.

This kind of little white face, he is actually very unaccustomed to it.

Moreover, he always felt that this guy was coming for Shiyin.

At this time, Chen Chuan spoke again: "The biggest problem with this movie is not the problem of investment, but that this Lu Dong has to control the cost, and he does not allow the director and actors to bring money into the group, so the actor's salary cannot be high." ”

Hearing Chen Chuan say that he was not allowed to bring money into the group, Sun Kai's brain was stunned, he thought at first that Chen Chuan was going to cooperate with a new company that he had never heard of before to make a movie, because Chen Chuan brought money, after all, this kind of small company does not have so much money to invest in a movie, but he didn't expect Chen Chuan to enter the group with money.

Chen Chuan is an old drama bone, today's well-known director, although his salary is not as high as Xiao Xianrou, but it is not far from a traffic star, can this small company pay his salary as a sole proprietorship?

Or did they sign a contract that would be paid and settled?

Nowadays, many companies have adopted this method, some companies have invested in a movie, but they don't have so much money for the time being, so they sign a contract with the star to delay the settlement of the salary, and after the movie is released, the investor will get the money and will pay the star.

Of course, this is not good for most traffic Mingxin, after all, no one knows what the box office situation is, in case the movie hits the street and the investor does not recover the cost, it is likely that the star's salary will be delayed for a long time, so most traffic stars will make movies when they see the money first.

If Chen Chuan and Chenyin Company signed a contract for delayed settlement of remuneration, it means that he himself is very optimistic about this movie, which further intensifies Sun Kai's desire to make this movie.

"In this way, let's sign a contract, and when the movie is released, it's okay to pay me again, and it's okay for me to reduce my salary a little. Sun Kai proposed.

Hearing this, Chen Chuan turned his head to look at Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, what do you think?"

To be honest, Chen Chuan thinks that Sun Kai is very suitable for playing the male lead in the movie "Journey to the West", but before he had to consider Sun Kai's sky-high salary, Chenyin couldn't give it in the early stage, but now Sun Kai has proposed that his salary can be given after the movie is released, so don't worry that Chenyin can't pay Sun Kai's sky-high salary, Chen Chuan is still willing to believe that this "Journey to the West" can be a box office hit, and no matter how bad the cost is, it can be recovered.

However, all this depends on whether Lu Chen is willing or not, after all, some people in this circle hate the sky-high salary of Xiao Xianrou.

It just so happens that Lu Chen is the kind of person who hates the sky-high salary of Xiao Xianrou.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the minimum salary of you?"

Sun Kai smiled, then raised his right hand and opened his palm.

Lu Chen asked suspiciously, "Fifty thousand?"

Hearing this, Chen Chuan and Sun Kai were stunned, this guy really doesn't understand the market, or is he joking with them, 50,000 may not even be able to invite an eighteenth-tier actor.

After Sun Kai reacted, he still said with a smile: "Lu Dong, you are so humorous, 50,000 yuan is not enough for my expenses for a day." ”

Lu Chen thought for a moment and continued to ask, "What about 500,000?"

Lu Chen thought to himself, Chen Chuan, an old drama bone and director, he only gave him a salary of 500,000 yuan, you are a little fresh meat, how can 500,000 yuan be enough.

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Sun Kai found that Lu Chen really didn't understand the market, his expression changed slightly, but he still kept smiling.

"Lu Dong, I'm afraid 500,000 yuan can't invite a third-tier star, right?" Sun Kai said.

Seeing that the other party was still too little, Lu Chen frowned, so he said again: "Five million is the final price, if it is more, I am afraid that another shareholder of our Chenyin Company will not agree." ”

Sun Kai said a little speechlessly: "Dong Lu, Director Chen's salary can't stop at five million, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen showed a hint of a smile, and then said, "No, Director Chen's salary is 500,000. ”
