After Kang Hui came out of the building of Wanfang Pictures, he looked at the bright sunshine and said with a smile: "Let's talk about it, what did you talk about last time you met with Fang Jun? Fang Jun agreed to your conditions so easily this time, which makes me feel a little incredible." ”

Chen Minhao stretched his waist and said, "It's not easy at all, Fang Jun is an old fox." ”

Kang Hui asked puzzledly: "Then what do you say he is trying to do? After all, the terms he said are not binding on you at all: you can make the movies they invest in, and you can make them if you don't want to, and you won't make them if you don't want to." ”

Chen Minhao said with a smile: "Sometimes the agreement is not to bind both parties, but to show others, such as: shareholders who buy Wanfang Pictures shares or potential shareholders who want to buy Wanfang Pictures shares, and then for example: the board of directors of Wanfang Pictures and so on." ”

Kang Hui nodded and said, "But anyway, this matter is very good for you." You don't have to pay any price, you can get 20 million in the empty mountain and white wolf. ”

Chen Minhao shook his head slightly and said, "I once read a sentence: all gifts given by fate are secretly marked with a price. Wanfang Pictures did not directly give me 20 million, but gave me the dividends corresponding to the 20 million investment in "Detective 2".

The benefits of the two are very different. In the case of the former, the money goes straight into my pocket. In the case of the latter, "Detective 2" needs to start filming smoothly and have a good box office before it can be profitable:

If "Detective 2" has a good response and the box office meets expectations, I can make money. If "Detective 2" has a big reputation and the box office far exceeds expectations, I will be able to make a lot of money. But if "Detective 2" is low at the box office, or even "Detective 2" is not filmed successfully, I won't be able to earn a penny. All in all, Fang Jun bound me to his ship. ”

Chen Minhao paused and said: "And Fang Jun directly agreed to the five percent ratio I mentioned without bargaining, which makes me have a bad premonition: Wang Ruozhou may not be willing to star in "Detective 2", so Fang Jun needs me to get him." ”

"Bah, good spirits, bad spirits, hurry. Kang rolled back the window, lit a cigarette, and said, "Hey, I was a little carried away by 20 million just now." I thought about it for a while, what you said made a lot of sense, there may indeed be a reason why Fang Jun is so generous to you: on the one hand, this is a blank check, and on the other hand, he may really need you to help him get Wang Ruozhou.

Wang Ruozhou told me last night that he doesn't plan to continue investing, but judging from Fang Jun's attitude towards you today, Wang Ruozhou may not consider continuing to star in "Detective 2". Due to the soaring total production cost of "Detective 2", Tian Lin can be regarded as Wang Ruozhou, and now the relationship between the two sides is relatively stiff, and only you can coordinate as a bridge in the middle. ”

Chen Minhao sighed: "Sister Kang, what kind of sin do you say we have made? I feel that it is so difficult to make a movie smoothly, "Detective" only has two male protagonists, no female protagonists, and there is only one big investor, Wanfang Pictures, and the director and screenwriter are only one person, but why are there so many moths?"

Kang spat back a smoke ring and said, "Don't be cheap and sell well, if you don't have so many moths, will Fang Jun give you this investment share worth 20 million?" I'll send you back to school first, and then I'll call and ask Wang Ruozhou what he thinks." ”

Chen Minhao arrived at school, and before he opened the book, he saw the three words "crow's mouth" sent by Kang Hui on WeChat. ”

Chen Minhao immediately replied: "Don't say that I'm a crow's mouth, you can obviously change a foreign statement, such as Murphy's theorem." ”

The teacher hasn't come yet, but there are still a few minutes to go to class, and it is inconvenient for Chen Minhao to go out and make a phone call to ask Kang for details, and he pondered Wang Ruozhou's thoughts in his mind.

If Chen Minhao stands in Wang Ruozhou's position, he can fully understand Wang Ruozhou's thoughts.

Wang Ruozhou doesn't plan to make "Detective 2" now, although there are some unpleasant factors in it, but more importantly, he is the actor, if "Detective 2" is a big hit, this movie is just the icing on the cake for him.

Now that the total investment cost of "Detective 2" has increased so much, Wang Ruozhou is reluctant to invest, and if he does not invest, his income from participating in the filming of "Detective 2" will drop a lot. In addition, if he has other good scripts in his hands, Wang Ruozhou may be even more reluctant to act in "Detective 2".

The teacher hasn't come yet, and Chen Minhao is thinking about the strategy of communicating with Wang Ruozhou in his mind.

In fact, even if there is no 20 million dividend agreement, Chen Minhao will find a way to let Wang Ruozhou continue to play the role of Jiang Long in "Detective 2". Now that there is a dividend agreement of 20 million, Chen Minhao has to find a way to let Wang Ruozhou continue to play the role of Jiang Long in "Detective 2".

Whether "Detective 2" is popular or hit the street is too important for Chen Minhao.

"Detective 2" became popular, which was the icing on the cake for Wang Ruozhou. But for Chen Minhao, who has only filmed 2 movies and only been the protagonist of the movie once, the significance is extraordinary: the stability of the coffee position, and even the promotion. And Chen Minhao has a dividend this time, and in the future acting contract, he can try to ask for dividends again.

Chen Minhao took a deep breath and thought: There are many dreams at night, the longer this matter drags on, the more tricky it will be, and it must be solved as soon as possible. And I'm about to be busy with the Spring Festival Gala, so I can't spend too much time on this matter.

Chen Minhao sent Kang back to WeChat and asked her to help him make an appointment to meet Wang Ruozhou.

Wang Ruozhou is Chen Minhao's senior, and he happened to go back to Beiying to meet a teacher, so the two met directly in the private room of the café at the entrance of the school.

After a brief greeting between the two, they went straight to the point.

Wang Ruozhou gently stirred the coffee with a small spoon and said, "Actually, when I reach my age, I want to earn more money for my son." If I'm lucky, I want to be an international actor.

The investment cost of "Detective 2" has doubled, and I hope that my salary will also be doubled, but Fang Jun directly refused. ”

Chen Minhao took a sip of matcha latte and said with a smile: "Brother Zhou, my shooting experience is definitely not as rich as yours, but I know that in fact, the increase in investment costs is due to the increase in costs brought about by the change of filming locations, so I think it is unrealistic if we want to directly double the salary." ”

Wang Ruozhou said with a smile: "I understand what you said, but if I can't save too much wife for my son on "Detective 2", it will be much less attractive to me." Now there happens to be a literary film that I am more optimistic about coming to me, I heard that I want to try it, and maybe I can take this opportunity to win an international award.

The script of the literary film is called "Hello, Mr. Tree", which tells the bitterness and suffering of little people in the rural areas of Northeast China. I'm optimistic about this movie, Chen Minhao, I think you can also try the role in it.

Your drama "Life and Death Field" some time ago also shows the bitterness and suffering of the little people in the Northeast, although I didn't go to see it, but many directors told me that your drama performance is very amazing.

In fact, for you, you have good looks and acting skills, as long as you win a few trophies, you are only more popular in the director circle and investment circle. ”

Chen Minhao nodded and said: "I understand what you said, but there are very few commercial films that can be made into a series in China in recent years, almost none, and the "Detective" series should not only make 2 films.

Therefore, if you participate in the filming of "Detective 2", the monetary benefits may not be very objective, and for you, the opportunity cost is relatively large, and you have to give up an opportunity to win an award. But in the long run, I think it is even more rare for China to make a series of commercial films. ”

Wang Ruozhou laughed and said: "Chen Minhao, you are indeed a good lobbyist, but have you ever considered a question: What does the success of the "Detective" series have to do with us? Wanfang Pictures will still find all kinds of ways to refuse to let us share the cake. ”

Chen Minhao took a deep breath, he knew that the highlight of the day was coming. Fupin Chinese
