Chapter 992: The hesitant Zhou Xingxing
At this time, Zhou Xingxing said very happily: "Miss Zhao Wei, welcome to join the crew of Shaolin football players." I think we will have a pleasant cooperation. ”
This is decided, Zhao Wei will play the role of a chivalrous woman in this movie.
Cooperation was originally a thing that both parties could benefit, so Zhou Xingxing's invitation at this time was not surprising at all. Zhao Wei also stretched out his hand very happily and said: "Happy cooperation." ”
This is the beginning of the cooperation between the two sides, Zhou Xingxing, in fact, when he has not entered the state of filming, he is very rational, more speaking, looking at Zhou Xingxing's private performance, he is more like a teacher, that is, like a teacher, the kind of silent charm.
This may be the real Zhou Xingchi, which is diametrically opposed to the domineering during filming, and the humor in the movie.
And at this moment, Zhou Xingxing took out the contract and said: "Miss Zhao Wei, let me repeat, if it is said that this contract is signed, then we will do things according to the contract when filming, if it is said that someone violated the contract, it will be very bad." ”
What is this called, this is called ugly words to the front, this kind of thing seems to say that only Zhou Xingxing can say it so confidently. Zhao Wei naturally didn't come out for the first time.
And in such a situation, no matter what it is, she is a professional actor. Zhao Wei nodded and said, "Of course, if the contract is fine." Naturally, it is in accordance with the contract to be half-loved. ”
Generally speaking, contracts in the entertainment industry have their own formats, and the difference is just different details. It's like the contract of Zhou Xingxing's crew. At most, there will be some changes in the details. But it's also to prevent him from doing some traps in the details.
As a professional actor, you must see this clearly, otherwise, you won't blame others for suffering at that time.
Therefore, Zhao Wei picked up the contract, looked at it aside, and looked at it very seriously, naturally to see if there were any traps in it. Then Chen Rong also took a look, and looked more carefully than Zhao Wei, as an agent. Naturally, he is responsible for Zhao Wei.
Therefore, some details of the contract will be paid special attention. After reading it, Chen Rong nodded and said, "There is no problem, you can sign this contract." ”
It's a good start for everyone to work together. In fact, Zhou Xingxing's status is like this. If you really play tricks on the details, then it will be a joke to spread out.
Zhou Xingxing doesn't need to use this method to calculate other actors at all, he stands there by himself, it is a peak of Chinese points, and he will not calculate others like this. Therefore, the contract given by Zhou Xingxing is a relatively formal contract.
It's just that this salary is more picky, look at the salary given by Zhou Xingxing. This is indeed speechless.
Zhao Wei said that he also comforted his sister-in-law and said: "I acted in Zhou Xingxing's movie, not for those salaries." The whole world knows that Zhou Xingxing's movies are very small. This is a fact, the movies that Zhou Xingxing invested in by himself can be regarded as having smashed his own family funds into it.
This is actually the biggest taboo for directors when filming, if it is said that in such a situation, if the director has someone to invest, then there is no problem, and his own salary will become. The box office or something is a matter for the company, and investors will naturally figure out how to make money by themselves.
But if it is said that the director invests himself, it is basically a tragedy except for a few top directors, Coppola shoots the modern apocalypse, which can be called one of the classics in the history of Hollywood films, the depiction of war and human nature is quite powerful, but this movie is an art film no matter how you look at it, and in the end, Coppola's pants almost fell off.
If he hadn't immediately pulled up the people and filmed the third part of The Godfather, the result would have been even worse. By the way, Apocalypse Nowapocalypse was invested by Coppola himself. This is actually the gap, if the director says that he invests in the movie, he will also find a few wronged people to share the risk.
Spielberg, the king of Hollywood commercial films, is such a director, who has his own film company, but he will never invest in his own films, of course, millions of small investment movies are not counted. is like the kind of big movie that is invested by hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, and Spielberg also directly cooperates with the wrongdoers.
Anyway, there are a lot of movies in the world that are willing to cooperate with Spielberg, so he doesn't worry about no one working with him. Zhou Xingxing is a director by himself this time, and he invests by himself, which is a taboo for directors.
If it is said that it is successful, it is easy to say, but if it fails, then Zhou Xingxing can be said to have returned to the pre-liberation period overnight.
Therefore, when filming, he controlled the cost of his movies very strictly, and the salary of the stars he gave was conceivable.
Even if it is a big star like Zhao Wei, the salary given is only 500,000 yuan. This has been hinted at in the contract, and when it is promoted, it will be a little exaggerated, but the actual salary is only 500,000 yuan, which is very rare for a phenomenal actor like Zhu Gege, no wonder Chen Rong also thinks that Zhou Xingxing is very picky.
After Zhao Wei left, Fang Nan said with some worry: "Is it less to give Zhao Wei such a salary, I am worried that if the reporter knows, it will be bad for our film." In this case, it would make people think that our crew is short of money. ”
For an actor of Zhao Wei's level, even if the movie is a supporting role, it starts with a million. What's more, Zhao Wei was invited in the name of the heroine, 500,000, this is indeed a bit inappropriate.
Zhou Xingxing was not embarrassed at all and said: "What's so embarrassing about this matter, wouldn't it be enough to use one million to publicize it." After all, it's in a situation like this. We have to think about our crew.
My own investment, I have to control the cost myself. If Shu Zhao Wei really excused himself with a salary, then I would replace him immediately. Although it is said that doing this may lose some popularity, it is even more difficult to find money.
If you can give Zhao Wei 500,000, it is already quite a good price. In such a situation, Zhao Wei should feel lucky. ”
Yes, starring in Zhou Xingxing's movies has always been popular with some people, although Zhao Wei doesn't need Zhou Xingxing's movies to prove himself. But in such a situation, Zhao Wei also needs Zhou Xingxing's movies to bring him to the market of Hong Kong City.
In Port City, at least on the big screen. Zhao Wei really didn't have the ability to prove his works, so when he was like this, Zhao Wei said that he felt that Zhou Xingxing's salary was a little unsatisfactory. But. She didn't get entangled in this matter, just like Zhao Wei herself said, in such a situation, she didn't shoot Zhou Xingxing's movie for money.
Fang Nan nodded and said: "Zhao Wei is very smart, she wants to use our movies to open the big screen of the entertainment industry in Hong Kong City, so in such a situation, she may not care much about what kind of salary and the like." But if Ye Ming said that he would deal with it with such a technique, it would be a little inappropriate. ”
Ye Ming and Zhao Wei are different. Zhao Wei has his own expectations for Shaolin football players, but Ye Ming is different, Ye Ming is a superstar, an indisputable superstar among newcomers, and there is also a huge market in Hong Kong City.
Therefore, a superstar is all about having a superstar price.
If nothing else, let's just say that Ye Ming has a title like the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor to support it, then don't think about inviting Ye Ming at a million. Zhou Xingxing is also a little embarrassed, he can be said to be bankrupt for this movie.
My villas are mortgaged out. But in such a situation, if you want to invite Ye Ming to come, then this salary cannot be too small at all.
Zhou Xingxing thought for a while before saying: "How about 1.8 million, this number is also very auspicious, Ye Ming is just a supporting role, give him this number, it is already very high." ”
can give a supporting role 1.8 million, such a salary is indeed relatively high in China.
But if it is said that in such a situation, compared with Ye Ming's fame, such a salary is not matched no matter what.
Fang Nan shook his head, took out a piece of information and said: "Director, I have a statistic here, it is Ye Ming's salary change, now ask Ye Ming to play a supporting role, two million is the starting price, and even if you give money, whether Ye Ming is willing to perform in the past, this is really difficult to say, therefore, at this time, I think, don't say anything after two million,"
Although Fang Nan was actually very clear, in such a situation, he must remind Zhou Xingxing, even if this hint is useless, it must be carried out. Otherwise, it will be Fang Nan's own who regrets it.
At this time, Zhou Xingxing said a little unwillingly: "Two million, you are crazy, what kind of person do you think Ye Ming is, give him two million, just a supporting role." How can you ask for such a high price? ”
Fang Nan said a little helplessly: "Even if it's this, it should be a friendship price." Many film crews with higher salaries than this one, obviously going for Ye Ming's fame, are also in contact with Ye Ming. If it is said that we missed Ye Ming because of this, it would be ridiculous. ”
As an executive manager, Fang Nan is actually very conscientious. The salary for Ye Ming, two million is considered the starting price, so even if Zhou Xingxing picks the door again, this starting price is indispensable.
But to say that Zhou Xingxing is poor, and he is not willing to pay out the salary of two million at all, because at such a time, the shareholding means that if he gives Ye Ming two million now, then in the process of filming, his family will shrink back and become very unhappy.
This is something that Zhou Xingxing doesn't want to see no matter what. This is more contradictory, if you can't give such a high price, it is impossible to invite Ye Ming over, but if you say that you give such a high price, there will be some obstacles to filming in the future.
Therefore, Zhou Xingxing also said helplessly: "This, two million, is impossible." In such a situation, we don't have any kind of role to have this price, I am like this myself, give him two million, what will others say, Wu Mengda has been with me for so many years, how much do I pay him.
Give Ye Ming two million, how can I explain to a few of them, as well as Zhao Wei, I know that I want to increase my salary. And it was given to him, how will I shoot this movie in the future? ”
Originally, in Zhou Xingxing's plan, filming this movie required a lot of money, and if the money was not enough at this time, it would inevitably affect the filming of the movie. In such a situation, to give Ye Ming two million, of course Zhou Xingxing is unwilling this time.
Fang Nan didn't seem to notice that Zhou Xingxing was angry, or that Fang Nan was used to Zhou Xingxing's roar.
Therefore, at this moment, Fang Nan didn't care at all and said: "There are many reasons not to invite Ye Ming, but there is only one reason to invite him, he is very suitable for this movie, of course, how to hype this matter depends on how you think about it, boss." ”
At such a time, the decision is naturally in the hands of Zhou Xingxing. Originally, if Zhao Wei was signed, then this killing plot is also a very good news for Zhou Xingxing.
But if Ye Ming is the next to face, and Ye Ming's salary like this is also very surprising, then it is really difficult to say where to go in such a situation. Tangled, Zhou Xingxing's mood at this time is extremely entangled.
If you give money, there will naturally be some talk, but two million, what is the difference between this and digging a piece of meat on Zhou Xingxing's body. Ye Ming's price is still the basic price, if it is said that Ye Ming will increase it a little more, it is not impossible.
Therefore, even if he gives two million, it is difficult to say whether Ye Ming will really agree to play this role.
If the price is offered, Ye Ming will not agree at all, and at this moment, Zhou Xingxing will be embarrassed. (To be continued......)
