In the café in Los Angeles, the biggest feature is to see piles of hot waitresses who have their breasts up to F-CUP or above, but are willing to make only $500 a month. And these people are not only big breasts, but also thin waists and long legs. (A thin waist is a must, and long legs depend on whether God appreciates food.) ）

It is far more exaggerated than the "horizontal drifting" of the mainland in later generations and the "Nine Dragons Bento Group" in Xiangjiang today.

After all, this is the dream capital of the whole world. For the sake of a chance to show your face and the possibility of an encounter, it is appropriate to endure a few years, or even more than ten years of less money and humiliation. And 99% of them just waste their entire lives and end up getting nothing.

If you can't bear it, naturally someone else will put up with it, this is the market.

As long as the owner of the café says, "You are here, although you get a monthly salary 300 dollars lower than in other cities, maybe you can meet a big director here once in a lifetime to talk to investors about the script", and he can make the waitress obediently accept this salary and gamble his life.

Then the labor cost savings will be subsidized to the rent.

Perhaps many cynical people will be incompetent and furious when they see the celebrity's daily progress......

But these keyboard warriors often ignore the reality that this is a gambling industry that will succeed in all its bones, and it is the bloodiest industry of the Matthew effect.

Behind a superstar, at least thousands of hungry wolves have been sold for nothing. And no matter how much superstars earn, in fact, there are not as many as 10,000 ordinary people. In general, it is the market that selects the industrial plan that allows the least total amount of money spent by the capital in the game.

This extremely glamorous example in the spotlight is used to tempt the belief that the 10,000 people who live like pigs and dogs are not as good as the dogs and dogs.

Superstars earn an extra 1,000 yuan, and the psychological demonstration effect can make the 10,000 gambling dogs endure a temporary salary cut of 1 yuan more. The capitalist can pay 1,000 yuan here and 10,000 yuan less there, saving 9,000 yuan in net costs.

It's like selling Mark Six lottery, the 50 million jackpot looks like it pays 10 times more than the 5 million jackpot, but it can attract 20 times more greedy sales, and the ticket seller is actually making more money.

……

Gu Biao is well versed in the cruel origin law of the world, so he will not have the slightest pity and sympathy for the weak who want to enter the media industry, everything is self-inflicted.

Holding Xiao Sui, he walked into the café that Cameron chose, and took out his wallet.

With the arrival of Li Lianjie and the lighting and prop assistants brought by Cameron when he was the special effects director, the first project meeting of "Terminator" was held in this environment of only a few people.

While chatting, they waited for Schwarzenegger and Cheng Long.

Just after taking out the script and chatting about the first few words, the waitress who came to serve coffee couldn't help but rub Gu Biao a few times with her chest, flattering her frantically.

I didn't ask Gu Biao about their order needs, and gave away several popular desserts that are said to be the classics of our store without authorization.

It wasn't enough for a waitress to come, and all 3 waiters in the store came to rub it again.

"Hey, this is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi movie, and we don't need a female dragon set!" Gu Biao couldn't help it, and opened his mouth to scold.

And this opening did not stop the madness of those women in the slightest, and they almost asked in unison: "Apocalyptic sci-fi movie? Is there a trick to be shot by screams? I was stabbed with ketchup as soon as I appeared! I attended amateur night school in the acting department of USC!"

Gu Biao suddenly felt that he had finally found something that was even more shameless than the success tutors and micro-businesses of later generations to make money - that is, the acting class night school that even the female clerks of Los Angeles cafes recruited.

However, the victim is more willing than the student who bought the success school.

In the end, it was Cameron who helped Gu Wei out: "Boss, isn't the heroine Sarah Connor in the script a waitress in a restaurant, and so are her co-workers in the room, when the Terminator killed her house, she killed her female companions, and those women don't have a few lines, if you are too troublesome and want to save money, you can use them, they are all in their true colors." ”

"You're the director, why are you asking me what I'm doing. Gu Biao didn't bother to interfere with these details.

When several waitresses heard this, they knew that Gu Biao was an investor and Cameron was a director, so they immediately rushed over and said: "I don't want a salary! I'm willing to act for nothing!"

"I can even bring my own waitress uniform!"

"Nonsense, it's just a set of work clothes, who can't bring their own!"

Even in the end, even the owner of the café came from the back kitchen and said on the spot that he could be responsible for renting the uniforms of all the waitresses in the restaurant. If the crew is willing to come to his café to shoot this scene, they can also rent for the scene and provide food and props for free to eat and drink.

"What a twisted world, a twisted media capital. Xiao Sui, who followed Gu Biao to open his eyes, was filled with emotion.

It was the first time she had seen someone who was willing to do so much for the sake of popularity and traffic dogs.

The movie can still be made like this, and many things can be obtained without money and on credit through implanted publicity.

Fortunately, Gu Biao did not miss this small amount of hundreds of thousands of dollars, and finally rejected several unreliable freebies, and told Cameron to put quality first.

After chatting for a while, after Li Lianjie became familiar with the script, Schwarzenegger and Cheng Long also rushed to the café almost on their front and back feet, although they did not know each other before.

"Mr. Gu, this is the Arnold I am talking about, he is a 7-time bodybuilding world champion. ”

As soon as Arnold entered the door, Cameron introduced him warmly.

"Welcome, you will be glad for your choice today in the future. Gu Biao shook hands tightly with Arnold.

Arnold is not very tall, only less than 1.9 meters, but extremely strong.

This allowed Gu Biao to be at eye level when shaking hands with him, and there was no height disadvantage. However, the weight difference between these two people of similar height is nearly double that - Arnold, who is covered in muscles like iron bumps, is 260 pounds, while Gu Biao is only 150 pounds.

"Read the script first, and then talk about what you expect to be paid. ”

Arnold sat down suspiciously, obviously Gu Biao's young and Asian face made him very uneasy. But after reading the script for a while, he immediately became interested in the expressiveness of the script.

Terminator, this is simply a character made for him.

"Gu, I think my current worth, 100,000 US dollars is still worth it - you should know that after the release of "Iron King Kong" three years ago, although I am not a famous actor, at least in the subdivision of "Hercules", I am the most distinctive in Hollywood......" Arnold spoke English with a strong German accent, and said slowly, lest the Asian face opposite could not understand his transposition English.

The German accent was the pain of Arnold's life, and even when he became governor in later generations, he did not change it.

Who made him a standard Germanic newcomer, his father Gustav Schwarzenegger was a special forces soldier in the Führer's Storm Commando.

However, as soon as Gu Biao spoke, Schwarzenegger's eyes suddenly lit up.

Because Gu Biao can actually speak English with a slight German accent.

When Gu Biao chose a major at the Foreign Affairs Academy, he chose English, Japanese and German for the Chinese as a foreign language class, and he chose English, Japanese and German.

"My film is a production of at least $5 million, and sci-fi special effects are the main expense, so the corresponding salary will naturally be compressed. But you should also know how expressive science fiction films, especially sci-fi films that fight and kill, for characters like you-

Don't be impatient, I'm not trying to push your price. I can give you two choices, the first one, get a salary of $150,000 for the protagonist, you say you are worth hundreds of thousands, I admit it. However, the follow-up box office share has nothing to do with you, you are a part-time worker.

For the second option, I'll only pay you $50,000. But you can get 1% of the producer's share from the box office in the future. The choice is yours. ”

Gu Biao said "1% of the producer's share", not "1% of the total box office", because after the box office is collected, it is customary for the producer, distributor, and theater chain to share it.

A fledgling small producer like him will be even more vulnerable, and about one-third of the total box office will be about the same. If he can get involved in more publicity work and help with the advertising hype, then he might still get a little bit out of the distribution.

After calculation, what Gu Biao promised to Arnold was only 0.4% of the total box office.

Although Arnold looked like a stupid big man with a low IQ, he quickly settled the score. He was surprised and asked, "Do you think that the total box office of your film may exceed 25 million US dollars?"

Only if this number is exceeded, the second plan that Gu Biao said will give Arnold more money.

"Absolutely, so it's a litmus test of your trust in this film and in working with me as a person. Gu Biao made no secret of it.

Arnold did not open the aura of wisdom, he was very cautious and mediated apologetically: "Gu, I hope you understand, in Hollywood, not only a good script can make a good movie." If there is only the current state, I am afraid that I will only have to choose condition one.

However, if you can give me some time and not force me to make a decision for the time being, but write down both terms until your entire crew is ready and the funds are in place, and then let me check it, I may choose condition two. ”

It seems that Arnold is not as dumb as his body seems.

Gu Biao clapped his hands and said: "Prudent choice, indeed, I haven't taken out anything now." Then, initialize it according to the intention, and you have 3 months to consider which one to finally accept. However, I also need you to promise that if you choose option 2, you will have to help stand up when you need to show your face personally during the promotion of this film. ”
