Chapter 57: The Story of Maxima and Bole (Collection!)
The first question, Shan Huatang's answer is:
"As you said, comedies in the mainland are a puddle of mud and are not favored by the audience, but you must know that the problem is not with the audience, but with the actors, directors, and scripts. โ
"If your script is really good, the actors are acting well, the director is doing a good job, and the publicity is good, who doesn't want to watch it?
The second question, Shan Huatang's answer is:
"One thing you have to know is that a comedian can do comedy, but not necessarily a good comedy, and in the same way, a sketch actor can do comedy, maybe even better than a comedian, and I've seen your work, and I think you're very suitable for the lead actor in our film. โ
As for the third question, Shan Huatang smiled.
"I think you have great potential, I want to use you, it's as simple as that. โ
"That's right, because you're cheap now!"
Originally, Shen Teng's whole person was tense, because he agreed with what Shan Dong said, mainland comedies do lack a leader and a charge.
If a flower grows out of the mud, it is absolutely fragrant!
He also felt that this Shan Dong's views were very unique, and he split the comedian and the sketch actor, and then merged them, which was basically the same as his thinking.
But when Shan Dong finally said because you are cheap now, Shen Teng was amused.
He found that this Shan Dong spoke so funny.
I have to say that he is very excited now.
Take this Shan Dong as an example, he has a very good appetite for him.
He liked him very much, the kind of love he simply liked.
It's just that even if he wants to join, there is still a heavenly mound.
At the beginning, Shen Teng signed a contract with his current company, 'Happy Green Onion', for 10 years.
Nine years and five months have passed, and there are still 6 months left before the contract expires.
If you change jobs now, you will have to pay 8 million in liquidated damages.
His salary is only two or three million a year, where can he get the 8 million? This is the main reason why he is in a predicament now.
There is a saying in the industry, "It's easy to sign a contract and it's hard to terminate a contract." โ
Of course, if he agrees to change jobs, then he can get 9 million in addition to the 1 million salary, and it is OK to pay liquidated damages.
But once the money is used to pay liquidated damages, if the gold medal soft rice does not do what it says, then it is equivalent to losing his living funds.
He didn't dare to gamble.
Regarding this, Wang Jianxing admires Shan Huatang, because he thinks that Shan Huatang counted the liquidated damages in the 10 million at the beginning.
Shen Teng wanted to star in this TV series, but he didn't want to compensate for liquidated damages, so he thought twice and thought of a way to do both.
"Shan Dong, first of all, I thank you for choosing me to play the leading role in this movie, I am also very interested, there is no problem in acting, but my contract has not expired yet, so I can't jump ship to your company, so I only accept 1 million for the 10 million, what do you think?"
Eating people with a soft mouth and short hands with people, this 9 million is very hot and can't be taken either.
If it is an ordinary boss or director, he will definitely be furious when he encounters this situation, he may scold him, or he may slap the table to drive people away.
Lao Tzu said to you in a good voice, I will give you 10 million, but you will set up a score for me?
Do you really think you're worth the money?
Rejected our company, and still want to take money to act?
Who gave you the face?
But Shan Huatang didn't.
Instead of getting angry, he smiled.
Calm and natural.
"Shen Teng, you should have heard the story of Maxima, in fact, many times, it is not Bole who discovered Maxima, but Maxima who discovered Bole, I can't give you a promise of success, but I can tell you responsibly, I see the prototype of the future comedy superstar in you, and in the future, the film and television industry must have your one-third of an acre. โ
Shen Teng was silent.
There's something called tangled, and it's uncomfortable.
He had an impulse to agree, but he had a lot of worries that made him unable to make a decision right away.
Finally, he got up, looked at Shan Huatang seriously, and said, "Shan Dong, you give me a few days to think about it." โ
Shan Huatang didn't force him.
"Since you're here, I'll take you on a tour of our company. โ
The two got up, and Shan Huatang took Shen Teng to visit the company.
First to the photography department.
"This is our head of photography, Zheng Fangyuan, who is responsible for all the shots of the movie "32 Days of Broken Love". โ
Shen Teng stepped forward to shake hands, "Hello, hello." โ
Zheng Fangyuan smiled, "I have admired the name for a long time, and I hope to have the opportunity to cooperate." โ
Shen Teng nodded and smiled, "It must be." โ
And then to the production department.
"This is Zhang Huiming, our head of post-production. โ
Arrived at the director's office.
"This one doesn't need to be introduced, you already know each other, Fang Zhengming, the big director of our company, is also the chief director of the movie "32 Days of Broken Love", and will continue to serve as the chief director of the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City". โ
Fang Zhengming grabbed them, "I still want it when I officially know it." โ
Then there's the special effects department.
The special effects department would like to introduce it in particular.
In terms of the production cost of special effects movies, special effects account for the lion's share.
It's not that the special effects themselves are expensive, but most companies don't have their own special effects teams, and they have to spend money to hire a professional team to produce them.
The special effects department formed by Shan Huatang includes 2D and 3D.
In the future, not only can you make your own company's special effects movies, but you can also collect money to help other film companies produce special effects.
Of course, this special effects team is still a prototype, and we have to continue to recruit and improve it in the future.
Shen Teng secretly admired that this company is really good, and the future is promising.
Finally, there is the screenwriting department.
Shan Huatang pointed to himself, "I am the head of the screenwriting department, and I wrote the scripts for the movies "32 Days of Broken Love" and "The Richest Man in Xihong City". โ
Shen Teng was a little surprised.
"Dong Shan, I didn't expect you to be a screenwriter. โ
Shan Huatang smiled, "I've only written a script for a few years." โ
ยทยทยทยทยทยท
Before Shen Teng left, Shan Huatang added a sentence.
"Whether you come to our company or not, I hope you can star in this movie, and in addition, if you are worried about liquidated damages, don't worry, I will help you out, and you will take the 10 million. โ
Shen Teng nodded, saying that he would give a reply in a few days, and left with his agent.
After watching Shen Teng leave, Fang Zhengming asked eagerly, "Old Dan, how are you talking?"
Shan Huatang looked curious, "You just said a few words to him, did you recognize your relatives so quickly?" Or are you brothers who have been separated for a long time?"
Fang Zhengming rolled his eyes, "We call it fate, we are very familiar, don't be envious." โ
Shan Huatang sighed, "Since you are so familiar, then you are responsible for taking care of him, and you are responsible for not being able to do it." โ
Fang Zhengming's face was straight, "Lao Dan, in fact, I am not familiar with him, but he is close to me." โ
