Chapter 279 New Contract

Jing Jian can understand Mai Ting's concerns. Youth idols like Mai Ting rely on their glamorous appearances to eat, and they must not expose any scandals, not even a little bit of marginality, otherwise they will not be able to get along with their own money.

So after thinking about it for a while, Jing Jian opened his mouth and said, "Miss Mai Ting, Ms. Nevia, the contradictions between me and CAA, including why I fired Huageri and Fenori, I don't want to explain anything. You are spectators, and you should have your own judgment on who is right and who is wrong. I also admit that the situation of the crew is very bad right now, so I can understand any choice you make, and I sincerely wish you all the best in the future. And what I said then is the future development plan of our seed films. You can take a closer look at it and make your own judgment. ”

"First of all, the reason why I made this film was that I wanted to make an action movie like no other. Fast-paced, dazzling ...... , everything, is very different from previous action movies. It's going to be a groundbreaking film, but I can't guarantee that the film will be an absolute success, I can only say – innovative, innovative, innovative...... It's all about innovation. ”

"That's why I need a united team above all and one that all pursue the same dreams. I don't want to say anything bad about Warger and Fenori behind their backs, but one thing is very important - they don't want to change at all, they don't want to innovate, and they cling to Hollywood stereotypes. I can't say that they are definitely wrong, nor can I say that I am definitely right, but our dreams are certainly very different, so we can only regrettably part ways. ”

Hearing this, Mai Ting frowned slightly, with a cute thinking expression. Nevia asked, "Mr. Bramble, I understand your thoughts and courage, but forgive me for my bluntness, what good will it do Miss Maiting to do so?" ”

Jing Jian nodded: "I think that if we continue to cooperate, we need to seek common ground while reserving differences." What is Miss Mai Ting's career prospects? Miss Mai Ting, Ms. Nevia, you should know better than me. But in my personal understanding, now is the critical period for Miss Mai Ting to transform from a youth idol to a powerful actress. What you need is either word-of-mouth, or box office, and it is best to have a double harvest of word-of-mouth box office. And that's what I'm looking for. ”

"The first is the film budget. I can reveal here that the original budget was $10 million, but for various reasons before, 4 million was wasted in vain (in fact, it is not that much, and the current expenditure of rebuilding is less than $2 million, but considering the possible lawsuits and compensation later, Jing Jian has prepared another $2 million). However, for the formation of the new crew, I have once again prepared a sufficient budget, and I would like to assure you that the new budget will not be less than $15 million (with the experience of the past, Jing Jian actually prepared a budget of $20 million. Of course, there is no need to confess everything to Mai Ting)"

"In terms of the staffing of the crew, Newcastle has agreed to be the leading actor, and of course I hope that Miss Mai Ting will continue to be the heroine. For the time being, I'll be the producer, and if there's a suitable candidate in the future, that's the best thing. Lyupakin is the executive director of the film, and is specifically responsible for the director's work. I'm going to be the director of the film. I hope you can understand that the professionalism of the film may be a little worse at present, but my idea is that it is better to be lacking than excessive, and we must unite and unite! A team working together! As for the other cinematography, props, etc., I am also selecting excellent candidates from Hollywood. The focus is on movement coaching, and I have contacted Hong Kong in the hope of hiring a good movement direction team. Here, I remind you once again that I will swear by my $15 million that Hong Kong's action direction is better than Hollywood's. ”

Jing Jian's last sentence is quite powerful, what guarantee is there that it can be more convincing than taking out real money himself? That is, Hong Kong's action direction is a bit difficult, Jing Jian has no such relationship in Hong Kong at all, and he can only use Liu Kai of the Sea of Skulls to let him try his best to think of a way.

Hearing this, Mai Ting briefly discussed with Nevia, and then Nevia said, "Mr. Bramble, you have convinced us for the time being. But we had two small requirements: first, the new contract should reflect Miss Mai Ting's value, and second, the new contract needed to add some clauses. I'm sorry, but we don't want to take advantage of the situation, but there are some things that need to be put in writing to dispel our concerns. ”

Jing Jian smiled: "Okay, then we can talk about the new contract now, and talk to me directly." ”

“......”

......

The new contract was signed soon, and Mai Ting is still the heroine of the film. Of course, there are some things that are tacit, and in addition to buying out the previous contract for $450,000, the new contract has risen to $1.6 million. Relatively speaking, Hollywood actors are the "most disadvantaged group", don't look at them in front of the audience, but when the gods fight, they ...... I can't say that I suffered, but I don't dare to offend anyone. Therefore, it is difficult for such a thing as tearing up the contract to happen to an actor. Of course, take the opportunity to ask for more money, and you won't be relentless.

However, the subsequent formation work was not smooth, the props were not bad, and a "running gang" was hired, that is, there was no mature team of his own, and he did odd jobs alone. And this person named Solas has a decent qualification, but his popularity is too poor, and all the original assistants are running out. But now, Jing Jian is pulling it into the basket, even if it is a dish, he can only make do with it.

As for the photography, lighting, and recording teams, it's not just a matter of making do. However, the CAA's ban was indeed effective, and there was no suitable team to apply for it. And Jing Jian did not give those watchers the slightest chance to ask for the sky-high price, and ended the recruitment on time at the end of June, the deadline for application. Because Jing Jian is not unprepared, he has a backup plan, don't forget, Jing Jian is a student of ULCA!

......

Finally, after class, Jing Jian came up to Professor Sager: "Professor, I think I'm in trouble." ”

Smiling at Jing Jian, Professor Sag joked, "Bramble, the happiest time of my semester is to see the sad faces of you students. Say, do you want me to raise my hand? The practical assignments are poorly prepared? I can only say sorry and repeat the sentence at the beginning of the semester - my credits are not easy to get. Haha!"
