Different from the activity and enthusiasm in the large conference room No. 1208, the atmosphere in the small conference room No. 1226 on the same floor is solemn and depressing.

There are more than a dozen people sitting in the small room, although the number of people is far less than the large conference room not far away, but the weight is much heavier, including the director and star of "Thunder Action" Luo Kai, the female lead Mo Lan, the chief producer Zhang Zhiye, the executive director Che Deyuan, the assistant director Shi Fei, the producer Mu Qi, and many representatives of Hongqi Film and Television, Jiandun Film and Television, and China Film.

In addition, there are Li Mengru and others as representatives of investors.

In addition to Luo Kai and Mo Lan, Zhang Zhiye, Che Deyuan and Shi Fei are all well-known figures in the film industry, and the crew of "Thunder Action" jointly formed is high enough and strong enough.

However, there are some things that are not in their complete control.

"The current situation is..."

Li Mengru said in a muffled voice: "Ling Yongxin, Luo Hong and Jiang Binyu gave up the opportunity to participate in "Thunder Action", and Chen Zhuo and Yang Haitao's brokerage company put forward new requirements. ”

Ling Yongxin, Luo Hong, Jiang Bin, Chen Zhuo and Yang Haitao, all of whom are members of the real male players who have passed the assessment and obtained the qualification certificate, among which Chen Zhuo and Yang Haitao were second- and third-tier stars before participating in the audition of "Real Man".

Both of them were assigned important roles and should have been officially signed today, but just yesterday, their agency conveyed some ideas to Dream Media.

Ling Yongxin, Luo Hong and Jiang Bin are not very famous, they belong to newcomers in the circle, and their refusal is really unexpected, which makes Dream Media feel unprepared.

The taste of this thing is wrong, it is very strange, so today the high-level meeting of the crew, Li Mengru took the lead in announcing the situation.

Zhang Zhiye couldn't help but ask, "What do they want?"

Li Mengru glanced at Luo Kai, Luo Kai nodded, signaling her to tell the truth and not need to hide anything.

Speaking of such a thing, Dream Media is inseparable from it, after all, the audition of the actors in the early stage, the filming of "Real Man" and other work are all done by Dream Media.

When everything was going well, such a thing suddenly happened, which undoubtedly had an impact on the crew.

Li Mengru took a deep breath and said: "The two brokerage companies think that Chen Zhuo and Yang Haitao's salaries are too low, which is not in line with their work and ask for an increase in salary. ”

Zhang Zhiye's eyes widened: "How much do they want?"

Li Mengru replied: "Chen Zhuo's offer is 15 million, Yang Haitao is 12 million, or..."

"Or according to the salary we proposed, but both of them will get a 3% share of the box office. ”

Bang!

Che Deyuan slapped the conference table and said angrily: "They really dare to think about it!"

"Operation Thunder" set a tone in terms of actors' salaries at the beginning of the project, that is, it cannot exceed 20% of the total budget.

The simple reason for this is to spend most of the money on filmmaking and post-production special effects to create a true military blockbuster.

For this reason, Luo Kai and Mo Lan, who are the male and female leading actors, have reduced their salaries, the total salary of Luo Kai as director and starring is 17 million, and Mo Lan is 5 million, which can be said to be much lower than the actual value of the two.

You must know that after the success of "Across the Seas", some investors offered a salary of 70 million to ask Luo Kai to play the leading role in shooting a new film, and now if he opens a salary of 100 million, it is estimated that some people will be interested.

But if "Operation Thunder" gives Luo Kai a salary of 100 million, how much money is there to ensure the quality of the film?

Of course, as a compensation, DreamWorks participated in the investment in "Operation Thunder", accounting for a large proportion of shares.

This is also due to Luo Kai's strength, popularity and appeal, but how can Chen Zhuo and Yang Haitao offer such a high salary, and even want a share of the box office?

In Cha Deyuan's opinion, it's simply ridiculous - do you have such a big face!

"I've got people asking for news..."

Li Mengru said a little helplessly: "Speaking of which, it also has something to do with us, mainly after the launch of "Real Man", their popularity has increased a lot, and the original salary set for them is indeed a little lower, but the conditions they are proposing now are completely lion's mouth!"

Since the first season of "Real Man" was on Beijing Satellite TV, the ratings have been rising, and the highest rating has exceeded 3% so far, firmly consolidating the status of the most popular variety reality show on the screen.

On Inspur Weibo, the popularity of real men has always been unabated, and many contestants in the show have stood out and become a hot topic among the audience, among which Chen Zhuo and Yang Haitao have both been on the hot search.

Although there must be factors in this that are fueled by the brokerage companies signed by the two, the increase in popularity is an indisputable fact.

From the perspective of the brokerage company, the current popularity of the two is high, and various endorsements and invitations are coming one after another, if they participate in the filming of "Operation Thunder", it means giving up a lot of interests.

In comparison, their salaries are too small.

It's just that the two brokerage companies will definitely not consider where they can get their current popularity without the show "Real Man".

"Real Manhood" itself was born for the selection of actors.

Dream Media or Luo Kai, the attitude towards real male players can be described as atmospheric, and there are not too many restrictions at the beginning, whether there is a contract company or not, you can participate, and if you get the qualification to participate, you are not required to sign a contract with Dream Star, just to select the right actors.

And at the beginning, the issue of remuneration was clear, most of the film's budget was spent on production, and even Luo Kai was paid far below the normal price.

The result is good now, relying on the popularity of "Real Man" and began to ask for sky-high prices.

In fact, there is no problem with renegotiating the salary, but you can't open your mouth and put on a threatening attitude.

Don't you want to think that you can be worthy of such a coffee position?

Zhang Zhiye frowned: "Don't they know the importance of this movie, don't they know the background of the project?"

"Thunder Action" is co-produced by Hongqi Film and Television, Jiandun Film and Television and DreamWorks, in addition to the participation of China Film and the Navy, plus the investment amount is as high as 350 million, and the attention is very high.

There are celebrities in the circle who are higher than Chen Zhuo and Yang Haitao who want to participate, and they really can't ask for it, but the two who have already got important roles are waiting for the price to talk to the crew about the conditions, which makes people wonder if they and their brokerage companies are in the water.

Is it really stupid enough to be that stupid, or is there something else going on?

The second one is sent.
