After Xiang Huaqiao heard this condition, he frowned and said: "This matter is a little difficult to handle, you yourself are a member of the Screen Actors Guild of America, and your salary has finally reached five or six million US dollars, if you say that you reduce your salary to play a hero, it may affect your salary in the United States." ”

This is almost certain, what kind of salary is it in Hollywood, if it is reduced when you return to Huaxia, then next, how will you take the movies in Hollywood, this is a matter of principle, it is impossible to say that you want three million in Huaxia, and another five million in Hollywood, this is almost impossible.

Li Lianjie was also very depressed and said: "What I'm worried about is this problem, Schwarzenegger made a cameo in Batman and Freezer, and the salary is 20 million, this is the influence of top superstars, if it weren't for the box office fiasco in the previous film, the star's salary would generally increase in Hollywood and could not decline." If it is said to be declining, then it is not easy to rise up again on such a problem. ”

This is an almost unsolvable problem, Li Lianjie himself very much hopes to be able to shoot heroes and consolidate his status as a kung fu superstar in China, after all, he himself also feels that it is not so easy to develop in Hollywood, and it is almost impossible to reach the top in Hollywood, so there are only two people who have done this, one is Bruce Lee, which can be said to be a legend of Chinese movies, there is no comparison, and the other is Cheng Long, Cheng Long's salary in his later peak moments 3 is actually 20 million.

And now Cheng Long is also on the road to becoming a Hollywood superstar.

But Li Lianjie knows very well that he is not the kind of top good in Hollywood, but in ordinary movies, his salary is on the high side, and it is more risky to invite him.

This is also why Li Lianjie wants to return to China and shoot heroes to consolidate her position in China. On such a thing. In fact, no matter how you say it, you need to give up one aspect.

At this moment, Xiang Hua said: "This is a question related to your future positioning, you have to think carefully about it." ”

Xiang Hua didn't say anything, he knew that his advice was just a reference, and it was Li Lianjie who really made up his mind to see if Li Lianjie had the courage to break his wrist.

In the end, Li Lianjie still showed a hesitant expression on her face and said: "This matter is really difficult to do. Moreover, there is also Ye Ming, a competitor, if there is no such competitor, then I think I can occupy a more advantageous position, but with such a competitor, although I am not as famous as me, but my influence in Hollywood is indeed a familiar face.

Therefore, Xinhua Film and Television Company can use him as a bargaining chip to negotiate with me. Kindness. I'll take a look first, see what Zhang Yimou thinks, and go see him first before I talk about how to decide this matter. ”

In fact, there is no way to do this, Li Lianjie believes that his strength is the first person under Cheng Long, but if he doesn't go to the capital to meet Zhang Yimou, he is definitely waiting to be taken.

Zhang Yimou is a great director at the level of a national teacher, and his influence in the entertainment industry is not much worse than Cheng Long. Therefore. Li Lianjie believes that only she will go in person. It is possible to get this role without reducing the salary.

This, of course, is not a direct contact, but a contact between Xiang Huaqiao, an intermediary, and someone from Xinhuamian Film and Television Company, indicating when and when Li Lianjie will visit Zhang Yimou to discuss cooperation.

And at the moment. The news had already reached Zhang Yimou for the first time, and Zhang Yimou got the news before Ye Ming left.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou was also a little embarrassed and put down his mobile phone and said: "Ye Ming, Li Lianjie called just now, saying that he would come over tomorrow to discuss cooperation." If it is said that Li Lianjie's attitude on this matter, then he also wants to cooperate. Under the same conditions, I estimate that Zhang Weiping will definitely choose Li Lianjie. If the two of you compare internationally, after all, Li Lianjie is more advantageous. ”

This is not to favor Li Lianjie, but to squeeze the actual situation. Li Lianjie has spent more than ten years in Hong Kong City and has a place in Hollywood, and it is normal for this influence to be higher than Ye Ming, Ye Ming really does not occupy the level of Li Lianjie, let alone the people in Hollywood's 20 million salary club.

Therefore, Ye Ming was not frustrated at all, but said very affirmatively: "This matter is in my expectation, cooperation is a matter for both parties, and your company has its own plans, which I fully understand." ”

But it can also be heard that Ye Ming is indeed a little more frustrated, after all, a big production of hundreds of millions of dollars, in Huaxia, such a cost of production is unprecedented, if you look at the lineup of actors, it is also the most powerful one.

Therefore, on such a question, Ye Ming wants to participate in the hero and wants to participate in this Chinese milestone movie. Not for the money, but just for the movie.

Looking at the situation now, it seems that in such a situation, no matter what it may be, his own disappointment can be felt.

If it is really better than acting skills and kung fu, Ye Ming believes that he will not be worse than Li Lianjie, but the problem is that Zhang Weiping of Xinhua Noodle Company thinks that Li Lianjie is more suitable for this movie.

Ye Ming himself even said that he didn't have a chance to compare, not even a chance to compete, this is the most depressing thing.

Therefore, in such a situation, Zhang Yimou feels very sorry, in fact, if it is according to personal cooperation habits, then cooperation with Ye Ming is the best, because he has cooperated with Ye Ming, knows what Ye Ming's acting skills are, knows what Ye Ming's personality is, and the director likes to use his own familiarity to think of actors, so he thinks Ye Ming is the best.

But this [hero] is an investment of hundreds of millions, although it is claimed to be hundreds of millions, but the investment is also a lot, therefore, he is responsible for the investment of his company, what kind of person to star. This kind of thing is not up to him as a director, even if he is a director at the national teacher level and an international director, sometimes in front of capital, he has to bow his head.

At this moment, Zhang Yimou was very sorry to comfort Ye Ming and said, "Xiao Ye, don't be discouraged in this matter. In fact, in such a matter, you don't mean that you don't have any opportunities at all, you yourself have your own opportunities.

This opportunity is the salary, Li Lianjie's fame is indeed very big, so big that only Cheng Long and Zhou Yanfa can compare, but these emperor superstars have their own shortcomings, that is, the salary is high.

Li Lianjie's current salary in Hollywood is more than five million US dollars, and it is estimated that it will be six or seven million now. But such a salary is impossible for our crew to bear.

Six million dollars, you don't need to tell you. Companies won't allow that to happen. So, on a question like this, yours is actually coming. In such a situation, if Li Lianjie does not reduce his salary, then it is impossible for us to cooperate in such a matter. ”

At this moment, Ye Mingcai suddenly thought of a problem, that is, the same as Lao Zhang said, the issue of Li Lianjie's salary. When filming heroes, Li Lianjie did reduce her salary to perform. At this moment, Ye Ming was stunned for a moment. only said: "If you say that the salary will be reduced, how far do you want Li Lianjie to be reduced, if it is too low, then I think it is impossible for him to accept it." ”

Anyway, everyone is not an outsider, and Zhang Yimou doesn't mean to keep it secret, so he pondered for a while before saying, "The bottom line of the company is." Three million US dollars, this is a bottom line for Li Lianjie to shoot heroes.

If it is said that he can agree to such a salary, then you don't have any chance, but if Li Lianjie is unwilling to agree, then you have a chance in this matter. Don't tell me, you're already paid $3 million. ”

When Ye Ming heard this number, he was also shocked in his heart, three million US dollars, almost 20 million yuan, and the salaries of other actors, Liang Chaowei, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Yanyu, the salaries of these people are definitely not a small amount.

After thinking about it, Ye Ming said, "Then wait and see, maybe things will change." ”

said that Ye Ming came to audition, but in fact, when it comes to Ye Ming's status, there is no need for any audition at all, Ye Ming's acting skills, Ye Ming's character, and people in the entertainment industry are almost very clear, if they say that they came to audition, then in such a thing, in fact, they came to discuss the conditions of cooperation, as long as the conditions are suitable, basically, this can be regarded as settled. That's the privilege of a superstar.

The director must be familiar with a superstar, and the difference is actually just what conditions are used to cooperate.

This time Ye Ming came, in fact, it means that it is just for this condition. After saying this, Ye Ming didn't stay much, but returned directly to the company, at this moment Sister Fang Fang came up and asked: "How about the cooperation, with Li Lianjie, it shouldn't be easy, I heard that Li Lianjie met with Xiang Huaqi in Hong Kong City today, it is estimated that the two of them also talked about this matter, and Li Lianjie will rush to the capital to meet Zhang Yimou tomorrow." ”

If Li Lianjie really wants to shoot heroes, then on such a problem, the chance of his boss's success is not very big.

Therefore, in such a situation, Sister Fang Fang was actually still worried about Ye Ming's role.

Ye Ming pondered for a while before saying: "This question is not easy to say, although there is a proposition essay, although there is an investment, it will not be hundreds of millions, the only obstacle to Li Lianjie's appearance is his salary, his current salary is five million to six million, about the same." If you ask him now, the six million dollars will be done.

But such a salary is impossible for the hero crew to come up with, so in such a situation, he can only have a chance to star if he reduces the salary. If this is the case, then if Li Lianjie really wants to star in this movie, there is only one way to reduce her salary.

My opportunity, in fact, is here, Li Lianjie herself refused to lower her salary, so I had the opportunity to play such a role. ”

The initiative on this issue is not in Ye Ming's hands, which makes Ye Ming feel very depressed.

Sister Fang Fang thought for a while and said: "The issue of remuneration is indeed more difficult for Li Lianjie, his salary in Hollywood is six million, if he dares to reduce his salary when he comes back, it will not be easy for him to mix in Hollywood."

Therefore, in such a situation, he himself must have considered this matter carefully. If you can't take down the main character, then what do you think of the supporting role in such a thing?"

If the protagonist is not successful, it is actually easier to consider the supporting role.

is like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Ye Ming is not the same as a supporting role, but the same thing is to snatch Zhou Yanfa's scene. This time, Sister Fang Fang actually thinks that for Ye Ming, this is a good opportunity, if it is said that it is best to be able to grab the protagonist, but if it is said that there is no protagonist, then grabbing the supporting role is actually a good result.

Ye Ming thought for a while and said: "Let's fight for the protagonist first, when it comes to my status, if it is said that I am not willing to compete for the protagonist for a summer, at that time, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I am not qualified to compare with Zhou Yanfa, after all, I give too much of the high status of others."

But now my status has also been greatly improved, although there is no way to compare with the three of them at the level of big brothers, but excluding the three of them, I believe that my influence in the international community is still relatively large.

Therefore, now I still have a certain chance to compete for this role, if I have a chance, but give up on my own, then I myself will not forgive myself on such a problem. I feel depressed myself. ”

This is the reason why Ye Ming insists, he wants to improve, improve his acting skills, and go to Hollywood's 20 million salary club, so no matter what kind of situation he talks about, he always has to find ways to improve his acting skills and influence.

Therefore, the protagonist of the hero, this is a role that I really hope to be able to win, if you say that you will give up if you don't fight for it, then in such a thing, Ye Ming is a little unwilling, although Li Lianjie is strong, but he doesn't mean that there is no chance at all.
