Chapter 1128 Respect for each other
In addition to discounting the salary, the contract also stipulates that if the TV series Yu Guanyin is a hit, the producer will pay Sun Li an additional one percent of the income.
This is actually an additional benefit generally obtained by the film and television company, after all, as a film and television company, it also requires a cost, therefore, if it is said that there is a harvest, then at this time it is said that it is necessary to pay as everyone says, there is a gain, and newcomers, even first-class artists, are inevitably squeezed by the company.
This seems to be an unspoken rule, but if it is the kind of artist at the level of the king and queen, it means that there is no company to do such a fool.
For example, Ye Ming, even if he doesn't have his own company, when he signs a contract, it is definitely the most advantageous contract, and no company dares to calculate an emperor superstar of Ye Ming's level.
Because this kind of superstar has the ability to take charge of himself, for example, a special person can support a play, which is the value of the emperor's superstar.
But no matter what you say, Sun Li really hasn't reached this point, and she is considered to be the better one in the first line.
But Brilliant Film and Television generally does not covet the income of its own artists, if it is to say that the benefits obtained by signing contracts with other crews are generally the actors' own.
The artists of Brilliant Film and Television are all dead set on the company, which is not to say that there is no reason. Haiyan didn't say anything about this condition, and it is difficult for anyone to grasp whether the TV series can be a hit. If it is a hit, it will not be possible to give Sun Li some benefits, after all, people have reduced their salaries to come to the crew.
Of course. At this time, Sister Fang Fang also discussed with Haiyan, and when she announced it to the outside world, naturally Sun Li's price was advertised according to the market price, otherwise, it would be more troublesome for Sun Li to take over the drama in the future.
This is actually an unspoken rule of the entertainment industry, and many actors are like this, such as Uncle Ge. If there are 1,000 yuan for a play, then if Feng Xiaogang invites Uncle Ge over, maybe 500 or even 300 yuan will be able to invite him. This is a matter of relationship, and the price of acquaintances is like this.
But if it is propaganda, then at such a time, it is generally based on the market price, and Uncle Ge is also promoted for 1,000 yuan. This is an appropriate exaggeration of the value of his actor anyway. There is nothing to say.
However, Sister Fang Fang didn't understand this matter, and when she returned to the car, she couldn't help but ask: "Boss, I don't think you think you are very optimistic about this TV series, but why do you support Sun Li to participate in this TV series." ”
Ye Ming, who is obviously not optimistic about Haiyan in this matter, otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to raise some questions about changing the script. But I didn't expect that Haiyan was indeed not an ordinary stubbornness, and he didn't back down at all on such a problem.
Ye Ming didn't care and said, "This matter." That's pretty much it anyway, on a question like this. Haiyan does have his own insistence, but his play, even if I read the introduction, I know that he has definitely stepped on the red line, **** You may not know much about it, and there are some things that cannot be touched no matter what.
For example, the history when making a movie, touched, the direct ban on the release is light, and if you go to an overseas film festival without censorship, it will also be banned, the sixth generation of domestic directors, Wang Xiaoshuai, you see how many of them have not been banned.
Anyway, some things just don't work. The police are the same special example of this, not to mention the anti-narcotics police, which Haiyan is very bold. But he himself has persistence and courage, which is not wrong, but no matter what it is, such a problem, he will be hit on the head and bleed. I have seen many examples of this. ”
This kind of thing, especially in movies, many domestic sixth-generation directors' films are like this, such as Lou Ye's [Suzhou River] Jia Zhangke [Xiao Wu] and Wang Xiaoshu's [Seventeen-year-old Bicycle] and so on, these movies are all banned from being released, and the director himself has been cleaned up in an embarrassment. Anyway, the police are the same, Haiyan will have to suffer sooner or later. ”
This problem, in fact, is indeed the case, after the filming of Yu Guanyin was completed, it was sent over for inspection, and the result was always unclear, and people did not give suggestions for revision, that is, it didn't make sense, you modified it yourself.
In this way, in reality, the shooting time of Jade Guanyin was about 2,000 shots, and it took two to almost three years of review, and finally after a lot of editing, it was considered to have passed the review.
This is the demerit of Haiyan's compromise, otherwise it will be directly banned from being released.
Therefore, Ye Ming is actually reminding Haiyan that some things should not be taken too seriously. But in fact, in such a matter, some problems are not so simple, and Haiyan is still so persistent. Sun Li was a little worried when she heard this: "Boss, will this TV series be banned?"
It's really good to read the script, and even Sun Li thinks that this role is a big challenge for herself, so she wants to play such a role.
But what is actually going on, is this TV series as difficult to pass the review as the boss said, Sun Li is also a little undecided now. It is even said that at this time, Sun Li regretted receiving this TV series.
But Ye Ming said very easily: "This matter is not for you to worry about, as an actor, you can play your role well, which is already quite a good thing." Whether TV can be released or not is a matter for the director, or even the producer.
This TV series is indeed a good TV series, and you don't have to worry too much about such a problem. Of course, if Haiyan still shoots according to his own ideas, it will be difficult to censor in the end. Unless it's a re-edit. But this is just a little bit late.
A person like Haiyan who does things and rebels against God, filming a TV series has to attract other people's investment, and such a person will leave a way back for himself.
You can rest assured yourself. Ye Ming actually knew very well in his heart. On such a question, Sun Li's choice of this TV series is indeed normal, and this role is indeed very attractive. Therefore, Ye Ming agreed to Sun Li to reduce his salary and take over this role.
was said by Ye Ming, Sun Li suddenly had a strong confidence in herself, and Ye Ming's proposal actually proved that she had not missed it all over again. If the boss nods his head at what will happen in the future, then this kind of thing should not be a big deal.
At this time, Sun Li was relieved. The car arrived at a private clubhouse, which was outside a courtyard house. Obviously, the gate is heavily guarded, this is a private place, Ye Ming got out of the car. originally wanted Sun Li to go back by herself. But if you don't feel at ease after thinking about it, let Sister Fang Fang send Sun Li back first.
Sister Fang Fang glanced at the courtyard and said, "Can you handle this matter by yourself?"
I'm not sure if you'll be able to handle it. Ye Ming said with a smile: "Look at what you said, it seems that I am a three-year-old child, these are all acquaintances, I don't think there is any big problem,"
This time, Ye Ming came to audition for Zhang Yimou's hero movie, therefore. There is nothing wrong with saying that these people are acquaintances.
But Sister Fang Fang frowned and said, "This matter is precisely because they are all acquaintances. That's why I'm worried that you'll give in, you're a superstar now, and a superstar has the status of a superstar, if it comes to the salary, don't be soft, remember, not only are you the CEO of the company, but also a member of the Screen Actors Guild, a member of the level like you, the salary in the United States is certain, if it is said that the salary you quote is quite different from the reality, then you will be in trouble. ”
This matter does involve the Screen Actors Guild of America. Anyway, Ye Ming is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild now. Therefore, in such a matter, Ye Ming has to do things in accordance with some regulations of the trade union.
For example, Ye Ming's salary now, according to the regulations, should be between two million and five million, which is a good price for supporting roles in Hollywood.
As for the price that Ye Ming wants for the leading role, then I'm sorry, you have to shoot a Hollywood movie starring yourself, and then according to the box office of the movie, it will decide what kind of price your next Hollywood movie as the starring role will be.
Of course, all of this money is paid in US dollars.
This is a regulation of the actors' union, if it is said that the remuneration received by a member is not very consistent with his own identity, then it will cause trouble, for example, it will be investigated by the union for whether there is unfair competition or something.
Of course, there is an exception, that is, charity performances or something, this kind of performance, public welfare nature, actors do not get paid a penny for participating, and sometimes they have to pay for their own carriage and horse fares.
This thing is an exception for gaining fame and prestige. Be careful with other commercial performances and the like.
Therefore, Sister Fang Fang also had to remind Ye Ming to be careful with such a problem. The guards in the courtyard are indeed relatively tight, and no one can enter when they are idle, but even if Ye Ming directly brushes his face, it is very easy to get in.
After the staff saw Luo Tian, they directly pushed away the security guard, greeted warmly, and said, "Brother Ye, are you here, Director Zhang and they are waiting for you?" Obviously, there are other meanings in these words, Director Zhang is not alone, there are others.
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said, "There are still people, who is over there, Liang Chaowei or Zhang Yanyu?"
In fact, these two actors are also a key point among the heroes, the actor and the queen, and the circle is a big name in the acting school. However, this time, Ye Ming really guessed wrong.
The staff immediately said: "It's not the two of them, they are today's plane, it is estimated that they will be able to rush to the capital in the evening, maybe they will meet Director Zhang tomorrow." The person who came today is Emi Wada, who is discussing some art issues with Director Zhang. ”
Emi Wada, who is also quite a well-known design master, can be said to be a benchmark figure of the pioneering school of Japanese art direction. This is a source of pride for Japanese filmmakers. Emi Wada won the Oscar for Best Costume Design in 85 for the Japanese film Emperor Akira Kurosawa's film "Chaos". Let Emi Wada be famous all over the world.
Zhang Yimou was able to directly invite such a master, and it can be seen that Zhang Yimou still attaches great importance to such a thing. Making blockbusters, that is to say, you must have the temperament to make blockbusters, if it seems too small, then on such a problem, it will not become a big climate.
Ye Ming nodded and said, "Hetian Huimei, no wonder, it seems that Xinhua noodles have invested a lot of money." ”
was able to invite a heavyweight master like Emi Wada over, which shows that Lao Zhang is really attentive to this movie. Entering the living room, Zhang Yimou was talking about something with a middle-aged woman who looked relatively ordinary.
Hearing the movement, Zhang Yimou frowned, when talking to the guests, there were still people who dared to disturb him, this was what he hated the most. But seeing that Emi Wada actually stood up, Lao Zhang was very surprised, and turned around, only then did he understand why Emi Wada stood up.
Ye Ming is here, Ye Ming, this guy is in the limelight, and he is also the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, so he can be regarded as a filmmaker at the same level as Emi Wada, so Emi Wada is standing up. It's a matter of attitude.
If it is said that other actors in Huaxia came, then Hetian Huimei definitely did not stand up, this is a matter of identity, Ye Ming came, Hetian Huimei stood up, that is a respect for the Oscars, everyone is a winner, naturally there is a feeling of heroism and sympathy.
Zhang Yimou's face suddenly became bright: "Ye Ming, we have been waiting for you for a long time, and I was talking to Teacher Huimei just now, when will you come." "There is no need to grab a position like fashion design, it is Emi Wada, this matter is a professional problem.
Therefore, this position was settled early. And Emi Wada also needs to know what kind of people are like to participate in the movie, and then they can complete their own costume design, which also varies from person to person. (To be continued.) )
