Su Sheng's agent?

This person Zhang Pu has had a relationship, but he has never communicated.

However, when he called at this time, Zhang Pu was too lazy to guess what was the matter.

I guess it's not a good thing either.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Pu asked casually.

"Director Zhang, look at Su Sheng's salary, can you give him a little increase?" Song Ziyi said, "Now that someone is using the salary of "A Chinese Ghost Story" to reduce the price, our side is really a little passive. ”

This excuse is far-fetched!

Everyone is in the circle, are you a fool of me?

This time and that time, this is the rule in the circle.

When "A Chinese Ghost Story" signed Su Sheng, he was at most second-tier, and he was the bottom one. The salary given by Zhang Pu is actually quite ten.

If you change someone, I'm afraid you are willing to reduce your salary.

"Is this what you mean, or what Su Sheng meant?" Zhang Pu asked.

"We mean. Song Ziyi said.

"How much do you want to go up?" Zhang Pu asked.

His tone was very light, and his emotions could not be heard on the phone, but Xiao Xue next to him felt that Zhang Pu was suppressing the anger in his heart.

He was on the verge of exploding.

Salary increase?

Xiao Xue obviously heard it, but she was a little stunned.

Is Su Sheng a fool?

Raise the salary before starting, which is a taboo in the circle.

I'm afraid you really won't have a chance to cooperate with Zhang Pu anymore.

Perhaps, he knew that if he signed a contract with Orange Entertainment, it would be impossible to cooperate with Zhang Pu anymore.

Perhaps, he suddenly became popular, his mentality was unbalanced, and he swelled.

The Cannes actor became famous instantly, and "Farewell My Concubine" exploded at the box office, and his popularity skyrocketed.

He felt that he was too disadvantaged to appear in "A Chinese Ghost Story" with his previous salary.

He was out of balance.

"Just mean it, two million!" Song Ziyi said, "Director Zhang, you also know what the price of Su Sheng's current salary is, even if it rises by two million, it is less than half the price." ”

Su Sheng starred in "Farewell My Concubine" and received a salary of 3 million, while for starring in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Zhang Pu gave 4 million, and the salary was undoubtedly full of ten.

"Farewell My Concubine" became famous in Cannes, Su Sheng won the Cannes Best Actor, and his salary more than doubled in an instant, and some people gave tens of millions of salaries.

And "Farewell My Concubine" was a big hit at the box office, although many people know that the box office of the film was not supported by him Su Sheng.

But after all, he is the starring role, and the box office success of the film also proves that he can support the box office of a film.

Therefore, his salary has risen a lot.

Someone offered a salary of 1,550 or even 20 million.

Everyone can see that this salary is inflated.

When the heat passes, the salary will definitely drop, and it will drop dramatically. If Su Sheng's next work did not support the box office, the salary would have fallen by 10 million.

Of course, if the next film is still a box office hit, there is still a chance to change from fiction to reality, and it is still very possible for his salary to remain above 10 million.

"Two million, what do you mean?" Zhang Pu chuckled and said, "The contract is signed, and the film will be started immediately, but you are asking for a salary increase, is it appropriate?"

"Director Zhang, what is Su Sheng's price now, you also know that two million is just a small meaning to you. Song Ziyi said.

"What if I don't give it?" Zhang Pu's tone was still very light.

Two million is indeed a small matter, but is it a matter of money?

"I'm afraid that Su Sheng's filming status will be affected, so as to delay the filming progress of the crew!

He seems to be thinking about Zhang Pu for the crew, but the threat is simply a red fruit.

When Zhang Pu heard this, he laughed, and his smile was quite mocking.

The protagonist is not in the state, which does delay the filming progress.

The crew must spend a lot of money every day, and the protagonist is no longer in a state, deliberately delaying the filming progress, and the loss is probably not only caused by the delay in time.

For two million, it's really worth the loss!

"Give the phone to Su Sheng!" Zhang Pu said.

This time, the tone was much colder and much harsher.

"He's not here!" Song Ziyi said.

"Then let him call me. Zhang Pu said a word, and then hung up the phone.

Having said that, if you are not angry, it would be too fake.

"Could it be that Su Sheng's agent made this call to you without him knowing?" Xiao Xue said with a frown.

This kind of thing has not happened in the circle. Between agents and artists, priorities vary from person to person. Even if some artists know that their agents have swallowed part of his salary, they can only swallow their anger.

"Can this be hidden?" Zhang Pu said.

"Su Sheng is really ......"

Xiao Xue shook her head, not knowing how to describe it for a while.

I can't hide it.

Now Su Sheng is very different, he and the agent have reversed their priorities. Without Su Sheng's approval, would his agent dare to make this call?

"Rat eyes!" Zhang Pu pouted, a little disdainful.

Su Sheng hasn't sat on the front line yet.

What's more, even those first-line stars, if they have the opportunity to star in Zhang Pu's films, I am afraid that it will not be a salary increase, but a decrease in salary.

Xiao Xue shook her head, she had already guessed what would happen to Zhang Pu.

was already holding back his anger, and at this time, the salary was raised, can Zhang Pu's temper still be able to bear it?

"Look!"

Zhang Pu's phone rang, and when he picked it up, he saw that it was Su Sheng calling.

If you didn't know in advance, how could you call us at such a short time?

At this time, his agent probably hasn't explained anything clearly!

"Director Zhang......"

"Is it your intention to increase the salary, or is it the meaning of your agent. Zhang Pu asked directly, interrupting Su Sheng's words.

I don't know why, but Zhang Pu wants him to answer: that's what he meant.

"Director Zhang, there is no 100-day red flower. How many actors are there in the circle? How many evergreens are there? Who doesn't earn a little more when they are popular. Su Sheng said.

He was asked by Zhang Pu like this, and his heart was a little weak, but he seemed to be more and more confident when he said it.

He didn't do anything wrong, and he should.

"Then do you know that you are a bad rule like this?" Zhang Pu sighed and said.

"Director Zhang, am I asking too much? How much is two million?" Su Sheng said.

His tone seemed a little disgruntled.

He doesn't think he's asking too much.

is only two million, and the value he brought to "A Chinese Ghost Story" may far exceed his salary.

"It's not about money, there are some rules that can't be broken. If everyone is like you and delays the filming progress by not cooperating the day before the start of filming and threatens the crew to increase their salaries, won't the film and television industry be even more miserable? You, do it yourself! You have today's achievements, and they are not easy to come by, and you can do it and cherish it!"

After Zhang Pu finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

His tone seemed a little sad.

If he didn't hang up the phone again, he was afraid that he couldn't help but go crazy.

"You're not angry?" Xiao Xue looked at Zhang Pu and said with some surprise.

She thought that Zhang Pu would taunt Su Sheng, and then tell him to get out, who would have thought to tell the other party to be good at themselves, and do it and cherish it.

That heart-wrenching look, as if he hated Su Sheng, was like this?

How does this style of painting feel a little wrong!

"How can you not be angry?" Zhang Pu shook his head and said, "I just want to be more cultured." ”

"Do you have to be disciplined?" Xiao Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "You are here for us to see, and to show Su Sheng?"

Zhang Pu smiled but said nothing.

There are many pits in the entertainment industry, although Zhang Pu is not cautious, but his sense of prevention is very good.

So, he set up a call recording on his phone.

Perhaps, the recordings of the two phone calls just now will be useful.

Hey, I've been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and I've learned to act.

Xiao Xue looked at Zhang Pu silently, but she didn't want to continue to ask, but she was just puzzled in her heart.

Show it to Su Sheng?

It doesn't seem that necessary.

Show it to yourself?

Anyway, the two are friends now, and there's no need for that.

"Substitution?" asked Xiao Xue.

I asked this knowingly.

"Change!" Zhang Pu said.

With Zhang Pu's temper, he wanted to change it before, but he was afraid of the interests of Xu Jiadong and others, and suppressed his temper.

Adults can't be willful.

Now, the other party asks for a salary increase, and Zhang Pu will hesitate there.

He used this to change people, and Xu Jiadong and others would not say anything.

At this time, Su Sheng listened to the sound of "doodoo" on the phone, but the whole person was stunned.

What does it mean?

"What do you say?" Song Ziyi saw that Su Sheng's expression was a little wrong, and then asked.

"He told me to do it myself, do it and cherish it!" Su Sheng looked at Song Ziyi and said, "What does he mean by this?"

"He's going to change people!" Song Ziyi came back to his senses and said in disbelief, "How is it possible!" "A Chinese Ghost Story" has invested more than 100 million yuan, and he is the leading actor at this time for 2 million?"

He said there were some rules that couldn't be broken. ”

Su Sheng's face is not good, he doesn't want to lose this film, but he is really unwilling to take that little salary.

In addition, if you know that you will stay in Orange Entertainment for a day, you will not have the opportunity to cooperate with Zhang Pu again. Since this is the last time to cooperate, why not fight for some more benefits for yourself?

The reason why the price has not increased too high is undoubtedly because I am afraid of losing this film.

Now that the bamboo basket is empty, how much better can Su Sheng's face be?

It's only two million, if it rises by 10 million and loses this play, he won't be so depressed.

"The rules of. Song Ziyi said, "It's only two million, is there less than this ruthless in the circle?"

"What now?" Su Sheng said.

He didn't want to lose the drama "A Chinese Ghost Story", and now that he has lost it, he doesn't seem to have anything to regret. At this time, he was popular, invited a lot, and his salary was not less than 10 million.

He was afraid that it would make a big fuss.

This matter is a big problem, and the impact on him is not small.

Sitting on the ground and starting from the price, this is not a good reputation in the circle.

"Don't worry!" Song Ziyi took a deep breath and said, "There are many investors in "A Chinese Ghost Story", and Zhang Pu wants to replace you at this time, I'm afraid it's not so easy." ”

Su Sheng shook his head, but he didn't expect it.

There are many investors in "A Chinese Ghost Story", but it was not brought by Oriental DreamWorks to share the risk, but they came to the door by themselves.

Those people and investors didn't go to him Su Sheng at the beginning, but to Zhang Pu.

"Farewell My Concubine" was a box office hit, and he won the Cannes Best Actor, which was just an unexpected surprise for those investors.

Zhang Pu wants to change people, and those investors may have opinions, but the possibility of withdrawal is very small, and it is impossible to use the withdrawal as a threat to make Zhang Pu change his mind.

"Replacement, this matter is not negotiable!" Zhang Pu said, "What's more, there is no need to discuss." What kind of actors to use, I, the director, have the final say, this was agreed at the beginning. If you want to withdraw your capital because of this, please do it!"

At this time, the substitution was naturally subject to a lot of resistance.

Of course, these resistances are nothing.

"Director Zhang, don't you think about it anymore? Su Sheng does have some bad rules for asking for a salary increase at this time, but it is undeniable that he is indeed the most suitable candidate. Moreover, the start-up is imminent, where can I find the right person?" said the person from Extreme Film and Television.

It is naturally impossible to withdraw capital, but Su Sheng's role as Ning Caichen is in their best interests.

Even if it is an artist under their company to play Ning Caichen, it is not as good as Su Sheng's performance.

Xiao Xue is an artist under their company, and it is obviously more advantageous to play with Su Sheng than others.

What's more, whoever plays the role of Ning Caichen now, no one can run away and compare with Su Sheng.

If it's a good performance, it's okay to say.

But if the acting is not in place, it will be amplified wirelessly, and the pot of the film's failure may be very likely to be on his head.

Temporarily rescued the scene, started acting directly, and didn't even have time to figure out the role, no matter how good the acting skills were, I am afraid it would be difficult, not to mention that I have to compare with a person who won the Cannes Best Actor.

Is it comparable?

It's a thankless errand.

If you are famous, you probably don't want to take it.

is not famous, and can't support this role.

"Director Zhang, why don't we go talk to Su Sheng. The person from Guangyun Film and Television said.

If something like this happens in advance and the start is delayed, they don't mind letting their artists fight for this role.

But now, the film is about to start, is the crew still disbanded?

It's not so easy to get a role from a Cannes actor.

"The estrangement has arisen, even if he is starring in zero pay now, do you think I can still use him?" Zhang Pu said, "If he joins the crew, who can guarantee that his state will not be affected and the filming schedule will not be affected?"

Idiot!

Everyone couldn't help but scold.

They didn't expect that when the matter came to an end, Su Sheng would come to such a song, and they didn't expect to threaten Zhang Pu with this matter?

If it is a different person, there is pressure from the investor, and maybe you can put up with it.

But is Zhang Pu short of investment?

He reckons that these people will withdraw their investment.

Su Sheng's salary increase has undoubtedly caused a lot of losses to investors like them.

It's no wonder they don't have an opinion on Su Sheng.

Short-sighted, if you make such a fuss, who will dare to cooperate with you in the future?

"Director Zhang wants to change people, I naturally don't have any opinion, but I have a candidate, who should be the best candidate today, Director Zhang Bufan thinks about it. Huaying said with a smile.

At this time, there are not many people who can replace Su Sheng. And nine times out of ten, those people may not be willing to take over.

The actors who are willing to take over are worse in terms of fame after all.

"Oh, who?" Zhang Pu said with some curiosity.

Huaying has no signed artists, if it is changed to other companies, Zhang Pu can still understand it.

"Director Zhang!" the man said with a smile.

"Who?, me!" Zhang Pu said with some surprise.

When the others heard this, their eyes lit up.
