Since Wang Ye made a fire in the crew, the atmosphere of the whole crew has been much better, and more and more people choose to arrive at the crew in advance, there is no lateness, and there is no more who can't remember the lines.

Afterwards, the actress who couldn't remember her lines, accompanied by her agent, apologized to Wang Ye, and Wang Ye accepted it, but it didn't mean that he forgave the other party.

"Now these actors don't know what's going on, and we've completely changed from that time. Zheng Xiaolong sighed a little: "When I was filming at that time, which actor didn't arrive at the crew in advance, and who didn't memorize the lines well, now it's good, these actors can arrive at the crew on time and memorize the lines, which has become their advantage, and these actors can also accept it with peace of mind." Isn't that what they're supposed to do as actors?"

Wang Ye said with a smile: "The times are different, this year is destined to be a year that will go down in history, you look at this year's film market, the box office results are very good, I think it is expected to break through the 10 billion mark, but the salary of stars has also risen wildly, this is an unhealthy process, now the investment in a play, the salary of actors, accounts for most of the part, and there is not much money left for production." ”

"This is the process of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai, one is willing to be beaten and the other is willing to be beaten. Zheng Xiaolong said.

"I don't want to be beaten, there's no way around it. Wang Ye said.

After Wang Ye followed the crew for a few days, Lin Xiaojun finally called and asked him to go back, saying that there was something wrong with the company, and she couldn't pay attention to it herself.

"Hello Director Jiang. ”

After Wang Ye went back, when he saw Jiang Wen for the first time, he was very puzzled, how could this person who couldn't be beaten with eight poles suddenly find himself.

This Jiang Wen is not an ordinary character, he is an actor with acting skills, and at the same time a talented director, with a domineering and hormonal tough guy image, which has attracted a warm pursuit of young women.

There was once a joke that Jiang Wen went to a school to do an interview, and the young female fan shouted: "Jiang Wen, you are really powerful!" Jiang Wen replied: "Have you tried it?"

Jiang Wen's output is very small, but all of them are high-quality products, and they belong to the group of directors who are relatively good in China.

Jiang Wen is more arrogant and speaks more directly, as soon as he saw Wang Ye, he said directly: "Mr. Wang, I have a play, are you interested in investing, this is the script." ”

Wang Ye was stunned for a moment, this ass was not hot, and he hadn't said a few words, so he talked about money directly, isn't it a little too fast?

But he is not a grinder, and when he glanced at the name of the script, he immediately asked, "How much do you need to invest?"

This time it was Jiang Wen's turn to be stunned, and at the same time, he also had a strong interest in Wang Ye in his heart.

The reason why he came to Wang Ye this time was because no one invested in a new movie for him, and they were all afraid of him.

Speaking of which, there is another rumor, saying that there was once an investor who invested in Jiang Wen, and when he first went to inspect the crew, the Mercedes-Benz BMW team, plus several bodyguards, but the last time he went to the crew, he was alone, and he took a taxi to the crew.

Of course, there is an exaggeration in this, but it also shows that Jiang Wen's filming is very expensive, which is something that everyone in the circle knows, and he will revise the script on the spot at every turn and temporarily increase the budget.

Jiang Wen took such the liberty to find Wang Ye, there was no way to do it.

"130 million, this is the current budget. ”

"I promise. ”

Jiang Wenleng paused for a while, then laughed, and even stood up and hugged Wang Ye.

"Lao Wang, you are an interesting person, I like it, I have made up my mind with your brother. ”

Lao Wang?

Wang Ye was not very satisfied with this new title, he was not old enough to be so old.

"Just because I invested in you?"

Jiang Wen was not hypocritical, and said directly: "It is undeniable that there is an ingredient in the investment you gave me, but I also like you as a person." ”

Wang Ye said: "Don't call me Lao Wang, I am not this old yet." ”

"Man, don't care about these details, what's wrong with Lao Wang, I think it's good, if one day you become the Lao Wang next door, you have to thank me." ”

This is an old man who is not very serious.

Wang Ye knew that it would be difficult to change this domineering man.

"I've agreed to invest, do you want me to read the script first?"

"Yes, yes, yes, read the script, you read it first. ”

Wang Ye looked at the tattered script in front of him, and he also made a lot of notes on it, scribbling and altering, which looked very laborious.

"Let the Bullets Fly" ......

"Now the script is tentatively this version, but I can't guarantee that this is the final version. ”

Wang Ye nodded, he didn't take it seriously, who in the circle didn't know that you Jiang Wen had a good habit of changing the script on the spot.

"Then I'd better stop looking. Wang Ye pushed the script back and said.

It's not that he doesn't read it, it's just that he can't read it, he thinks that just now this script, except for Jiang Wen, no one can read it, there are revisions everywhere, and there are marks everywhere, which makes people look at it.

"Okay, I'll show you when I'm done with the script. Jiang Wen was not polite, and directly put away the script.

"Lao Wang, you are really rich, and you promised to invest in me without reading the script. ”

Wang Ye smiled, he wanted to find a world where there was no one except himself, and when he saw Jiang Wen, he dared to say that he invested directly without reading the script.

"Lao Jiang, I can tell you, you can't invest more, when you spend money, think about my hard work to make money, it's all hard-earned money, and it's not easy to earn. ”

Jiang Wen nodded again and again: "I understand, I understand, it's not easy for anyone to make money, and I'm not old, Lao Jiang is a bit excessive." ”

"It's okay, man, don't care about the details. ”

Sending Jiang Wen away, Wang Ye and Lin Xiaojun talked about investing in Jiang Wen's new drama.

When Lin Xiaojun learned that he had invested 130 million yuan, he was a little worried: "Director Jiang is not a director worth investing in, I heard that he is particularly inkblotted, and he also consumes money." ”

"It's okay, I'll supervise him when the time comes, and don't let him spend money indiscriminately. Wang Ye said with a smile.

After a while, Wang Ye continued: "We have a surplus of funds now, if there are any good projects, we can also invest in them and make a little money." ”

……

This time, Jiang Wen was unexpectedly fast, and within a few days, he took the script and found Wang Ye again.

"Lao Wang, how am I doing to you, is it interesting enough?"

"Lao Jiang, it's okay. ”

The two of them are like children who have a temper, you say Lao Wang, I call you Lao Jiang, but Wang Ye always feels that he has lost, lost in the surname, but there is no way, the surname is given by his parents, and nothing can be changed.

"Actually, I've been preparing for this drama for several years, and I'm just about to get the last shiver, and now that you promise to give money, this shiver will come, and there is no need to drag it out any longer. ”

No wonder, Wang Ye thought that Jiang Wen had changed his sex, and suddenly sped up his pace.

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with the script, but isn't the actor a little too exaggerated?"

Wang Ye looked at the list of actors and was a little frightened.

The strong lineup of three kings and one queen, Jiang Wen, an international director and "Venice" actor, as well as Zhou Yufa, who promotes Hollywood superstars to the outside world, "Cannes" actor Uncle Ge, and "Golden Rooster" actress Liu Jialin, as well as some well-known men in China.

This can be said to be a luxurious lineup and a bright star, but it also takes a lot of money, no wonder it needs an investment of 130 million, and this list has already taken up a lot.

"Lao Jiang, are you sure there is no problem with this list? Wang Ye was a little worried: "In addition to the salary, there is also publicity, then there is not much money left, I don't want to give me a shoddy movie at that time." ”

Some words, or say in the front, don't go wrong at that time, there is a contradiction between the two sides, it will be embarrassing at that time, investment can be given, but his money is not blown by the wind, every cent must be used on the blade, and it is really spent.

"You can rest assured, I guarantee the quality of the film. ”

Originally, Wang Ye wanted Lin Xiaowan to replace Liu Jialin, but after reading the script, he gave up decisively, there are many scenes in it, all of which are full of temptation, Lin Xiaowan finally erected the image of the national school flower after "Those Years", he didn't want to ruin a movie.

The actor was found by Jiang Wen, but when the price was negotiated, Wang Ye came in person.

Jiang Wen himself, who wears two hats, finally gave a friendship price of 10 million.

Wang Ye suddenly wanted to scold his mother, where is this friendship embodied?

Uncle Ge asked for 6 million, but Wang Ye didn't agree, and finally discussed it and promised 5 million, and Liu Jialin gave 4 million after discussion.

The salaries of these three people add up to more than 20 million, and it hurts him to watch, if he writes the script himself, he can make a movie.

Finally, Zhou Yufa, this Hollywood superstar, didn't come himself, but his agent came to talk to Wang Ye.

It costs 50 million to open the mouth, and it also needs to be shared by the box office.

Wang Ye wants to give the other party a mouthful, and directly let the other party get out, the lion opens his mouth, right?

wants a high salary, and you still want a box office share, who to coax.

"This price, no matter what, we can't accept it, it's too high. ”

"Mr. Wang, our brother is a Hollywood superstar, this is all a friendship price, and the salary is not high at all. ”

When Wang Ye heard the Hollywood superstar, he wanted to laugh a little, and he really thought that he was a Hollywood person after a while.

"Everyone is an insider, and they are not laymen, so there is no need to publicize some slogans used in propaganda in front of me. Wang Ye said expressionlessly: "I'm not a person who has never been abroad, and now I have a movie starring Hollywood superstars in my hand, do you want to hear how much they are paid?"

Wang Ye continued: "Xiao Lizi knows, he can be regarded as a Hollywood superstar! He starred in my movie, and the friendship price was 20 million, and the unit was US dollars." ”

"It's none of my business how you publicize it to the outside world, but please don't use some propaganda words to negotiate contracts with us. 50 million plus box office commission, at this price, do you think you are worthy of the title of Hollywood superstar?"

The other party didn't expect Wang Ye's attitude to be so tough, and he was a little embarrassed and said, "Mr. Wang, I want to call and ask Brother Fa." ”

Wang Ye shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent.
