Chapter 241: Who Said I Don't Have the Power to Fight Back?
Wang Cheng left with the director contract of Xingchen Haihai and signed a D-level director contract.
In the sea of stars, or in the entire entertainment industry, the classification of directors is obvious.
It is mainly divided into two kinds, one is remuneration + box office dividends + bonuses, and the other is only the director's salary, box office dividends are not to be thought about, and the bonuses depend on the box office of the movie. If the box office is good, it is natural, but if the box office is not good, it is difficult to find investment in the next movie.
In the sea of stars, only directors above grade B can have remuneration + box office dividends + bonuses. (Includes B-level.) )
Ning Xiaohao is currently a B-level director, and he can get 2%-5% box office dividends.
Jiang Wenbin and Murong Yanliang are both A-level directors with 5-10% box office dividends.
Therefore, a "Hong Kong Embarrassment" brought Murong Yanliang a box office dividend income of 150 million.
In addition to guaranteeing the welfare of the director, the grading system also stipulates the obligations of both parties.
For example, in the D-level contract obtained by Wang Cheng, it is stipulated that Xingchen Dahai must invest in a project pulled by Wang Cheng within two years, with a single investment amount of not less than 10 million and an upper limit of 30 million.
It can be said that the treatment is good.
The existence of D-level directors is to make a talent reserve for the company.
As for whether he can come out in the end, it depends on whether the director himself is talented enough.
For Wang Cheng, Wang Xiaobai is still relatively optimistic.
Although he is a director for the first time, he has a good book, and the leading actor is also good.
The starring role is Wang Baobao, the heroine is a girl named Yaya, Wang Xiaobai has seen her movies, she is a beautiful and aura actress.
It's a pity that the vision is not very good, and I fell in love with the royal city.
After reading the script, Wang Xiaobai also recommended a person to act, who is a newcomer, to be precise, a newcomer to the sea of stars - Zhang Zi, a sixteen-year-old little girl, made her debut as a child star, because she joined the second season of "Longing", she was favored by Wang Xiaobai and signed in to the sea of stars.
As for the other actors, let Wang Cheng do it himself.
Anyway, he invested 30 million, and it may be his business.
After half a month of hard work, the actors of "Kung Fu" have also found seventy-seven eighty-eight.
The charter wife and the charter man found it, they are two actors from Xiangjiang, and their reputation is not bad, although they have never played the leading role, but their acting skills are very good, and they are also from martial arts.
The role of the master is more difficult, the appearance should be obscene, the camera should be happy, and the acting skills should be good.
But fortunately, he is not alone now, as long as he gives an order, more than 300 people in the company are serving him.
For those who can't find an actor for a while, Wang Xiaobai directly wrote his requirements for the role, asked them to find someone in the entertainment industry, and then determined it himself.
……
In addition to "Kung Fu", "This Man is from Earth" also has to be launched.
"Jiangcheng Fortress" has announced the release time, and it is expected to be released on August 9.
It's April, and there's still four months to go.
Although according to Wang Xiaobai's expectations, although the filming can be completed in a week, it should be filmed in advance to avoid conflicts with the filming process of "Kung Fu".
However, this time Wang Xiaobai had a more bold idea - except for the starring role, he wanted to find foreigners to shoot all the other roles.
"This Man is from Earth" is a classic science fiction movie, and if it is only released in China, it will be a bit tyrannical.
Due to the inherent prejudice and discrimination of Westerners against Chinese people, if all of them are played by Chinese people, it may make foreigner audiences not buy it and affect the final box office.
Shooting with foreigners is not only a consideration of the box office, but also a consideration of the script.
"This Man Comes from Earth" contains a discussion of religion, culture, science, human nature and other things, all of which belong to the logic of Western thinking. If all Chinese people are used to shoot, it will make people differentiate.
Then everyone has to ask, if all the foreigners are used to shoot, what will happen to the audience in Huaguo? What will happen to the box office in Huaguo?
Then I'm going to say, you're thinking too much.
The Western world is full of discrimination against China, but many Chinese people are full of yearning for that land, and I don't know how many people want to take a breath of free and sweet air.
Although it's all 9102 - oh 1202, there are still a lot of Chinese people kneeling.
Fortunately, Jiangcheng is an international metropolis, and it is not a problem to find a few cheap foreigners with decent acting skills in a city of 25 million people.
……
Knock knock.
Xue Ning pushed the door and walked in, and said, "Boss, the advertisement for you to recruit a new assistant has been sent out, and more than a thousand resumes have been received so far." After we screened it, there were 132 resumes that were okay, do you have anything else to add?"
Wang Xiaobai thought for a while and said: "You add one more item, to be proficient in English, not only to be able to speak, listen, but also to be able to read and write." ”
Since I decided to find a foreigner to shoot "This Man is from Earth", the script must be translated into English, and an assistant who can speak English can also help him communicate with the actors.
"Okay. Xue Ning nodded, in this way, more than half of the original 132 people will die.
"Anything else?"
"To xio...... Forget it, just add this. Wang Xiaobai said.
Xue Ning pouted, now that his boss is not a little bit old, sometimes he doesn't hide it.
Xue Ning turned around and was about to leave, when he suddenly thought of something again, and said, "By the way, the young owner of the Chinese language is here again......
Wang Xiaobai frowned, this product has been stalking since the last time he signed a contract with Xingchen Dahai and was directly rejected by him.
At first, Wang Xiaobai was willing to see him, but he was annoyed by him later, and directly told everyone that whoever dared to let him in, he would fire him, which could be regarded as stopping him outside the office.
Xue Ning glanced at Wang Xiaobai, who had a headache, and said weakly: "Boss, I think he is quite sincere, and he is willing to accept the E-level contract...... Isn't our company going to expand the scale of artists this year, I think he looks good and his acting skills are okay, or ...... Just recruit him, right?"
Hearing her say this, Wang Xiaobai raised his head and looked at her with scrutinizing eyes.
Oh, I didn't expect that my once closest subordinates would also defect to the revolution.
Say, how much money did Huawen give you, I have a sea of stars...... It's all over!
Seeing Wang Xiaobai's gaze, Xue Ning lowered his head slightly, and knew that he had said the wrong thing.
Wang Xiaobai said: "He asked you to say it?"
"No, it's all my truth. Xue Ning whispered.
Wang Xiaobai thought about it for a while, and then sighed and said, "Then sign it." ”
"Okay, then I'll go and inform him. Xue Ning raised his eyebrows, and his expression seemed to be as if the two of them had a personal relationship.
Personal relationship?
"Wait!"
Wang Xiaobai suddenly stopped her, Xue Ning looked confused, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wang Xiaobai said pointedly: "Let me remind you first, it is forbidden to fall in love in the company." So...... Measure it yourself. ”
As soon as these words came out, the expression on Xue Ning's face suddenly fell, stared at him deeply, and said a little frustratedly: "I...... I know. ”
Looking at her lost expression, Wang Xiaobai frowned slightly, could it be that she really fell in love with Yun Yang's kid?
This kid isn't a fuel-efficient lamp either.
It's only been a few trips, and it's all taken away from my big dog's legs?
If that kid is serious, let her go.
Wang Xiaobai has a lot of here, and he is busy every day.
is either on the way to the editing of "Xihong City", or on the way to the casting of "Kung Fu".
In the blink of an eye, in mid-April, the editing work was basically completed, and Yunhai Entertainment also launched a promotional work.
Although the director of "Xihong City" is Wang Xiaobai, the leading actor has changed, and Yunhai Entertainment doesn't know how strong Chu Tiange's personal box office appeal ability is, so he has a slight reservation in publicity. If the box office can be in the later stage, all the resources will be slashed up.
……
"Lao Zhou, haven't I heard that Wang Xiaobai's "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will be released on May Day. With Wang Xiaobai's box office appeal, I am afraid that this movie will be able to brush up a lot of box office. In the Zhou Brothers Media Company, a shareholder said to Zhou Dashan.
Zhou Dashan, who was smoking a cigar, paused, looked at his old friend, and said, "What do you mean?"
"Don't you want to give Wang Xiaobai eye medicine at this time, so that he can taste our power first?" the man said with a smile.
"I think so, but what tricks should I use? We don't have any movies lately that are good for fighting him. Zhou Dashan said.
"What tricks do you need? Of course, it's an old routine! Didn't "Jiangcheng Fortress" get another stunt editing over there? As long as you put it outside, try to find someone to blow our excellent special effects, what is the first person in a domestic science fiction movie, and by the way, find someone to bring public opinion below, compare Wang Xiaobai's "Xihong City" with "Jiangcheng Fortress", he Wang Xiaobai still has good fruit to eat?" The man said.
"High!"
Zhou Dashan slapped his thigh and said sadly: "This can be described as killing two birds with one stone, which can not only suppress Wang Xiaobai's "The Richest Man in Xihong City", but also praise the popularity of "Jiangcheng Fortress". ”
"In that case, why don't you find someone to do it?"
"I have to hurry, I can't wait to see Wang Xiaobai's angry appearance now. Zhou Dashan was so excited that his face was red.
……
So, before the release of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", a wave of highly targeted sunspots gave Wang Xiaobai another turn on the push blog.
If it's just like this, forget it, there are still people who advocate it, saying that they want to "boycott Wang Xiaobai, boycott the sea of stars, and boycott "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and there are still many people who respond.
This made the people of Yunhai Entertainment anxious, and the publicity plan was also hindered.
Yunhai Entertainment fed back the situation to the sea of stars, which made Liu Wenya also anxious and came directly to his office.
In this regard, Wang Xiaobai said helplessly: "What can I do?"
"You're not in a hurry?"
"Don't worry, this looks like someone is maliciously playing tricks behind the scenes, and the so-called initiative seems to be huge, but at that time, how many people can really boycott?" Wang Xiaobai is not worried about the online boycott at all.
As for the infamy on the Internet now, he has no way to do it now.
can only wait for the release of "The Richest Man in Xihong City", and rely on word-of-mouth to speak.
Knock knock!
At this time, Xue Ning suddenly knocked on the door and walked in, and said to Wang Xiaobai with a happy face: "Boss, you have a letter from overseas!"
"Overseas?" Wang Xiaobai looked confused, I don't have any relatives abroad, how could someone send me a letter from overseas?
Could it be—
Actually, I still have a second master?
He opened the letter expectantly, and after taking a look, he shook his head slightly, it seems that I don't have the life to be a rich second generation.
"Who sent you the letter?" asked Liu Wenya.
Wang Xiaobai didn't answer, but said, "Who said we don't have the ability to fight back?"
