Chen Minhao put down the coffee cup in his hand and said with a smile: "First, there have been almost no series of movies in China that have exploded in recent years, if the "Detective" series can become a hit, the value and coffee position of the actors who starred in this movie have been very significantly improved.

Second, I think Brother Zhou, you may have walked into a misunderstanding. I don't think Wanfang Pictures doubled the production cost of "Detective 2" because it didn't want us to invest, Fang Jun wouldn't be so naïve. They spent so much more money on the filming location in the United States, which shows that they don't care about temporary gains and losses, and strive for the quality of the "Detective" series.

Third, if Brother Zhou, you think that the investment in "Detective 2" is not worth it, you can think about it, if you stay, you still have investment opportunities in "Detective 3" and even "Detective 4".

So having said that, I think the success or failure of the "Detective" series has a very close relationship with us. ”

Wang Ruozhou laughed and said, "Are you so sure that the "Detective" series will be popular?"

Chen Minhao grinned and said, "Of course I'm not sure. However, "Detective 1" has a score of 8.4 on Douban, which is already very high as a commercial film. And the audience's call for a sequel to "Detective 1" is very loud. Therefore, if there is a series of domestic movies that have become popular in recent years, I bet it will be the "Detective" series. ”

Wang Ruozhou nodded thoughtfully and said, "I'll go back and discuss with my agent today, and then give you and Wanfang Pictures an answer." ”

When Chen Minhao heard Wang Ruozhou's words, he knew that Wang Ruozhou was most likely persuaded by himself.

Sure enough, Fang Jun sent Chen Minhao an emoji of "Little Bear bends down and says thank you" the next day.

On the third day, Tian Lin called Kang Hui and asked her and Chen Minhao to go to Wanfang Pictures to sign a contract.

Kang Hui brought two very professional legal colleagues to carefully check the contract, but Chen Minhao still spent an hour and a half flipping through the two contracts twice to make sure that there were no problems with the contract.

A contract is the performance contract of Chen Minhao's "Detective 2", the salary is 18 million, the shooting time is undecided, the tentative shooting cycle is 26-30 weeks, and the specific shooting time The producer needs to communicate with Chen Minhao 8 months in advance to determine.

The other contract is a five-percent share of "Detective 2" that Fang Jun promised to Chen Minhao. According to domestic law, the investment share cannot be directly granted, so Chen Minhao received an investment worth 20 million yuan as the payment consideration.

Kang Hui heard the grapevine from Wanfang Pictures: the performance contract for "Detective 2" signed by Wang Ruozhou and Wanfang Pictures has not changed, but the two parties signed a supplementary clause:

If Wang Ruozhou starred in "Detective 3" and "Detective 4" as promised, then Wanfang Pictures gave Wang Ruozhou a 5% share of "Detective 3" and "Detective 4" respectively.

At this point, after a whole week of communication and negotiation, the performance contracts of the two leading actors of "Detective 2" have finally been finalized.

Although the process is complicated and has gone through several twists and turns, the parties to the negotiation: Wanfang Pictures, Chen Minhao, Wang Ruozhou, and Hu Defa are all satisfied with this result, especially for Chen Minhao's salary, his salary can be said to have doubled, and he is quite satisfied with it.

On the afternoon of the day the contract was signed, there was news on Weibo that Chen Minhao and Wang Ruozhou renewed their contract to continue to be directed by Hu Defa "Detective 2": The sequel to "Detective" is confirmed to be filmed by the original crew, and the start time has not yet been determined.

The two keywords Chen Minhao and "Detective" both have their own hot searches, which immediately attracted a large number of marketing accounts, fans and passers-by to forward and comment:

Chen Minhao swiped Weibo with his left hand and drank the clams and wild vegetables miso soup with his right hand, which was very delicious: the natural sweetness of vegetables and the umami of clams were combined into the miso soup.

"Wanfang Pictures is too anxious, signed the contract this morning, and released the news in the afternoon. ”

Chen Minhao asked while flipping through the comments.

Kang Hui immediately said: "After all, it has been more than 3 months since the release of "Detective", and we need to stir up a wave of popularity, brush a wave of presence in front of the audience, and avoid being forgotten by the audience.

And this is just the beginning, from the release of "Detective" to the release of "Detective 2", in this process, the producer will create countless topics to brush up on the sense of existence.

For example, the news was released today, and the original team made a sequel. 2 months may release news again: the starring role may change.

In another 2 months, the audience's appetite may be whetted: the sequel to "Detective" will not be filmed, and when everyone is disappointed, there will be another explosive news of the start of filming of "Detective 2", so as to lock the attention of passers-by.

True and false, virtual and real constantly brush their sense of existence on Weibo. ”

Chen Minhao nodded, then put down his phone, planning to go to the kitchen to serve a bowl of clam and wild vegetable miso soup.

Chen Qiang suddenly shouted: "Brother Hao, you are on the hot search again! ”

Chen Minhao nodded calmly and said: "Just based on the news of shooting a sequel, it entered the top three, and Wanfang Pictures should spend money to operate." ”

Chen Qiang hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Brother Hao, it's not the news that "Detective 2" will make a sequel, but because of another thing. ”

Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment, and then unhurriedly opened the hot search on Weibo on his mobile phone and saw that there were two of his names in the top ten:

"Chen Minhao's "Detective 2" is seventh on the hot search list, and another news "Chen Minhao Spring Festival Gala" is third on the hot search list. Fupin Chinese
