Chapter 41 Grab Resources?Who is the Praying Mantis, Who is the Yellow Sparrow!
"So, this time, I can get a maximum of three million, can you see it?" Yan Chi said tentatively.
Three million, you must know that in the last movie "Li Bai", Hong Chen's salary was 20 million.
Of course, this also has something to do with Zhang Hai's wealth.
Hearing this, Ge Chen frowned.
Because Hong Chen's salary is linked to the company's interests. If it's too low, the company won't allow it.
Moreover, low remuneration is not a good thing for Hongchen's development.
"I'm afraid it won't work. Ge Chen shook his head, because she had found several crews for Hong Chen to audition before, and the salary was tens of millions.
Yan Chi was also a little helpless, gritted his teeth, and said, "I can add a little more, five million, how about it?"
"That's it, Director Yan, the company has regulations in this regard, which is very troublesome. My salary was set at 10 million, but I invested 20 million. However, I want a 15% share of the final income of the movie, can you see it? Hong Chen said.
Hearing this, Yan Chi's eyes lit up, he couldn't imagine that Hong Chen would choose to invest.
In this way, the problem of male lead actor and investment has been solved.
Moreover, Huahai Company will not interfere here, the income they are staring at is only Hong Chen's salary.
A look of surprise flashed in Ge Chen's eyes, she didn't expect Hong Chen to be so risky.
His decision is good for the company and the crew, but he has to take a lot of risks. Because if the film doesn't make money, it means that his investment has been wasted.
"Are you sure?" asked Ge Chen with concern.
Hong Chen nodded, "I like this script very much, even if you lose it, it doesn't matter." ”
It's hard for an actor to be able to play a script he likes.
In the current film market, the prospects for romance films are good, but because the films released in recent years are full of various bloody plots, the popularity is declining.
And in this script "Those Years", the story is not bloody, but has a feeling that makes people shine.
It's worth the investment.
Yan Chi was very happy, and he was sincerely grateful to Hong Chen.
Then, Yan Chi, Ge Chen, and Hong Chen signed contracts respectively.
signed a film contract with Ge Chen for Hong Chen, how much is the schedule, how much is the salary, etc.
The investment contract was signed with Hong Chen, and 15% of the final income belonged to Hong Chen.
"Hong Chen, thank you so much, believe me, your investment will not be in vain. After signing the contract, Yan Chi and Hong Chen shook hands and said goodbye.
Hong Chen also sighed a little in his heart, after all, 20 million is basically his entire net worth now.
And if you want to get back to your capital, you have to wait for the movie to finish filming and be released, which will take at least four or five months.
However, he has a diamond-level lottery, and he needs to spend millions of dollars to draw out, so he doesn't have to worry too much.
"Hong Chen, there is another bad news. Ge Chen put down his phone and said again.
"What's wrong?"
"There are indeed people within the company who are robbing your resources, and it is a B-signed artist, Yuan Jiaming. Ge Chen said, "Do you remember the magazine that made an appointment to shoot the warden's cover, and now it's Yuan Jiaming who is shooting." ”
"Yuan Jiaming?" Hong Chen frowned, this person Hong Chen knows, twenty-four years old, has made a lot of action movies, is good at playing the image of Wei Guangzheng, the whole person looks more energetic, and the reviews on the Internet are not bad.
"Yes, I didn't expect this, I had already negotiated with the magazine, but Yuan Jiaming's agent contacted the magazine in advance and used some means to snatch this resource. Ge Chen said.
This is not to blame Ge Chen, she has been accompanying Hong Chen in the crew of "Li Bai" during this time, and she has already had a verbal agreement with the magazine, she did not expect that someone would cut off Hu in advance.
Resources are always the most ferocious thing that entertainment companies and artists grab.
It is also the embodiment of the artist's coffee position.
For example, if there is a movie or TV series with a main theme, the market prospect is very good, and an entertainment company will take it and let its own artists play it.
The leading actor is naturally a first-line actor who is highly praised by the company.
You must know that the entertainment industry is very fast, if there are no works for two or three years, even if an artist is popular now, he will soon fade out of people's field of vision.
Therefore, the company will continue to find resources for first-line artists, all kinds of top resources.
The first-line artists pick the rest, and it is the turn of the second-tier artists.
Second- and third-tier artists are actually a very embarrassing position, and the artists in this position are very well-known, but they are not so popular, and the traffic is not so big.
It is very difficult for second- and third-tier artists to jump to the first line.
If you think about it carefully, you will find that in the usual film and television dramas, there are many actors who are very good in terms of acting skills and appearance, but they are not popular.
Because they don't have enough top-notch resources.
can only play the role of male or female two.
When they play this kind of role, ordinary companies will even improve the status of first-line actors by suppressing them in order to highlight the female or male lead.
For example, "who is the one who overpowers who in a certain play", "who is compared with who is in costume stills", etc.
Therefore, it is difficult for second-tier actors to turn over.
Without resources, it is difficult for artists to jump from the second line to the first line!
Moreover, the resources of second-tier artists are also in short supply.
For example, this time the "Men's Wear" magazine invited the draft, and Huahai Company has already gotten it. Ge Chen won it for Hong Chen through normal means, but he was cut off by someone with a heart.
It's all about making money for the company, and the company won't come forward to take care of these things.
"Publicity is very important for the development of artists, and you are still half a year away from the next movie, and you have to find a way to maintain your popularity. Ge Chen pondered.
"This resource has been robbed, and I'm worried that they want to rob us of another resource recently, a public welfare announcement film in Kyoto City, and we have 6 artists from Huahai Company to participate, and I have basically won it. ”
"I'll have to talk to the general manager again. Ge Chen made up his mind.
"Yuan Jiaming. Hong Chen touched his chin and groaned secretly.
Since he is in an entertainment company, this kind of intrigue is naturally indispensable, although he doesn't like it.
Half of his salary is distributed to the company, and the resources he gets are also deserved, but some resources are robbed, which makes him very unhappy.
"Gotta get back on the field. Hong Chen said secretly in his heart.
"It's been determined that it's him, so you know what resources he has on hand. We will govern others as they would have been treated. Hong Chen said indifferently.
Hearing this, Ge Chen nodded.
This is important.
If the resources are robbed and Hong Chen's team does not respond, I am afraid that other teams will rob him of his resources next time.
He's in the sea of flowers, so don't mix it up.
In the entertainment industry, fists are the last word.
On the other side, the headquarters of Huahai Company.
Yuan Jiaming's agent Dong Wei was in Wang Yao's office, complaining bitterly:
"Manager, Jia Ming is not low in popularity now, and there is absolutely no problem in starring in this public welfare film. That Hong Chen has played two villains, and his image is not good, so it's not appropriate to play this kind of promotional film. ”
Wang Yao frowned, touched the ring on his left index finger with his right hand, and was silent.
Those who are familiar with it know that Wang Yao's action shows that he is hesitating.
Dong Wei saw that there was a play, and persuaded again: "Manager, Jia Ming is an old man of the company, and he has worked hard for the company for several years. This kind of resource is unacceptable to a newcomer. ”
Wang Yao hesitated.
This public service announcement is a very good resource.
In the early stage, because the company did not provide any resources for Hong Chen, Hong Chen contacted Zhang Hai's crew by himself and made a lot of profits for the company, so Wang Yaocai decided to give this resource to Hong Chen as compensation.
Yuan Jiaming has indeed made a lot of contributions to the company, and it is not impossible to snatch it down now, but this will sacrifice the interests of Hong Chen.
Wang Yao did not give an answer to this matter for the time being.
