Although Uncle Da is the golden supporting role of the movie, it should not be difficult to convince him, because Uncle Da is very short of money, very, very short of money.

Uncle Da actually has an unknown family story in private, he has been married 4 times, but he still shoulders the living expenses of the first 3 families, 800,000 yuan per family, and he has to spend 2.4 million yuan a month.In the past, he had to make 20 movies a year and earn this money, but now that the production of movies has been reduced, he switched to making idol dramas to support his family, and the family only paid 300,000 yuan per month, plus one plus, and the basic plate for a month is 900,000 yuan.

In real life, he has to bear a heavy burden of family burden, because he has to support 4 families every month.

He was very short of money, and he really did anything to make money.

Now that the golden age of Hong Kong films has passed, Hong Kong films have declined, and countless filmmakers have gone north to find a way out, or to make money, Uncle Da is one of them, he has filmed many TV series in the mainland.

However, Uncle Da has not developed in the mainland in recent years, but returned to Hong Kong Island, I heard that Uncle Da has recently become a film director, but the box office does not seem to be as good as expected.

Also, although Uncle Da is a golden supporting role, he is not the material for making movies, just like Liu Hua, the king of the year, shooting other people's movies is a lot of money, once he starts his own company and sends movies, it is a big loss.

However, actors have a director's dream to a certain extent, and if they haven't tried it, they must be very unwilling.

Xu Qiantuo went to find Uncle Da, and when he heard that it was Xu Gan's movie, Uncle Da agreed without saying a word, after all, Uncle Da is now under very heavy economic pressure.

Secondly, I heard that it is Xu Gan's movie, Uncle Da also yearns for it, Xu Qian can now be said to be the most awesome film director in China, this is not only the mainlanders think so, even Hong Kong Island, Treasure Island and even the entire Greater China region think so.

Xu Qian's films have been successful on Hong Kong Island since "Those Years", and the recent "King of Comedy" broke the local box office record on Hong Kong Island, how could such a person not attract the attention of Uncle Da?

The reason why Uncle Da has a good impression of Xu Qian is that Xu Gan's movies have elements of Hong Kong films, such as "Infernal Affairs", such as "The Departed", which has the shadow of Hong Kong films.

People who have come from the most glorious golden age, he admires directors like Xu Qian the most.

Uncle Da soon signed a film contract with Xu Qian, but when Xu Qian invited him to join Beyond Entertainment, he refused.

Xu Qian was very sorry about this, but he didn't say anything, everyone has their own choice, and since Da Shuzhi is not here, he can't force it.

Xu Qian has not been replaced, Uncle Da is still very suitable for the role of "stupid thief", he can't be laid off because he didn't promise to sign a contract with Beyond Entertainment, it's not fair to him, and it won't be very good for Xu Gan's reputation if it gets out.

Xu Qian is a director who strives for perfection, and he is willing to pay some price in order to maximize the effect of the film.

Moreover, when it comes to Xu Gan's current status, there are too many ways for him to obtain benefits, even if Uncle Da doesn't agree to him, then he won't lose anything, this is Xu Gan's self-confidence.

Uncle Da said, "Director Xu, why do you think about me?"

After Uncle Da got the script, he knew that this was a combination of Chinese and Western movies, and this movie was Xu Qian's plan to enter the European and American markets.

If other directors say that they want to enter the European and American markets, Uncle Da must scoff at them, really think that the European and American markets are so easy to enter? Even in the golden age of Hong Kong films, it is difficult to climb to the sky.

But Xu Qian is already a person who has proven himself, and a "Departed" word-of-mouth box office has soared.

Uncle Da felt that he was really lucky, and being able to play the main supporting role in such a blockbuster movie was like a dream for him.

At the same time, he was also a little apprehensive, because he had just rejected Xu Gan's solicitation.

Xu Qian said: "Uncle Da, you are the best golden supporting actor in our country, and you will definitely be popular if you participate in this movie." ”

Xu Qian praised without hesitation.

His words are a bit exaggerated, but even if Uncle Da is not the best golden supporting actor in China, it is definitely the top three levels, and in terms of comedy supporting roles, he dares to say first, and others dare not say second.

And he should also be the most popular and famous of all the supporting roles, and he can be regarded as the sentiment of many people.

Of course, feelings are not worth much now, but if Uncle Da can perform this "stupid thief" well, then this feelings will be worth it.

A good work plus good acting skills and an unforgettable person are the best feelings.

Xu Qian's praise moved Uncle Da very much, and he actually had the feeling of dying as a confidant in his heart.

Xu Qian sighed in his heart: "Uncle Da looks really old." ”

Uncle Da is not very old, he is in the prime of life, but that face makes people feel that he is very old, but it is his face that can act in comedy very well.

On the other hand, Ross and Matthew and a group of actors also came to China.

Of course, there is a credit to Warner, "Friends" is world-famous and is one of the greatest sitcoms in the world, but their production company is Warner, so Warner has a very good relationship with these actors.

Ross and Matthew have a very good relationship, no, I should say that all the actors in Friends have a very good relationship, they are like family.

The famous "equal pay incident" has to be mentioned here.

In 2002, the final season of the American drama "Friends" offered the six leading actors a sky-high salary of $1 million per episode each, more than 40 times more than the salary of the first season 10 years ago, not only because of the success of the series, but also thanks to actor Ross, who led the other stars and production companies to complete a perfect negotiation.

In February 2002, NBC and Warner Bros. Pictures signed a deal to broadcast a 30-minute sitcom, the most expensive deal in television history, which immediately made headlines. This sitcom is the 10th season of "Friends".

Many comedies have only one protagonist and multiple supporting roles, but "Friends" is special because it has 6 leading actors, and each of them has a similar appearance rate. This means that each of them is equally important, and from a negotiation point of view, it means that each of them can be axed.

The production company or TV network believes that if a certain lead actor is too aggressive when bargaining, then he will not be invited to star, and the series will not be delayed anyway, although this is not an ideal situation, but it seems acceptable that all the original cast members will return, or one or two are missing.

The company has this bargaining chip, that is, it has the means to negotiate with the actors.

Eventually, however, NBC and Warner Bros. reached an agreement to pay each of the six "Friends" stars $1 million per episode in the final season. The final season is planned to shoot 22 episodes, so each actor will earn $22 million. So, how did the 6 "old friends" get such sky-high salaries at the same time?

The seeds of success in 2002 had been planted a few years earlier, that is, the salary negotiations for the third season of "Friends".

Before Season 3, the six actors negotiated their salaries in a standard way, which meant that they negotiated separately with the help of their agents. After the first year, they were paid the standard $22,500 per episode, and the rest of the show was based on the success of the show, the importance of the role, and the outside world's evaluation of the actors, and the second season took these factors into account, with the six actors getting paid between $20,000 and $40,000 per episode.

Before the Season 3 salary negotiations, Ross was the highest-paid of the six actors, but he went off the rails and approached his crew mates to discuss new plans.

Ross said production companies and television networks have chips to counterbalance them, because from the actor's personal point of view, each one can be replaced.

If they act as a whole in future negotiations and ask the company to give everyone the same salary, then they can enjoy the success of the show together.

Ross "goes off the beaten path" and asks other actors to base their negotiations on collective contributions, not to care about the value that individuals bring to the show, and if they can unite and don't care who "objectively" gets paid more or less, then they have more bargaining chips in their hands. Next, Xiu Meng showed his trump card.

To show his commitment, he first made a sacrifice: he asked the production unit to reduce his salary for Season 3, so that all six lead actors would be paid the same salary, and Rachel agreed to do so.

As a result, everyone in the pay contract was paid the same amount as the lowest-paid actors: $75,000 per episode in Season 3 and $125,000 in Season 6, and each of them no longer negotiated their salaries individually.

When it came to the famous "1 million per episode" salary negotiation, everyone knew that the 6 actors would either sign together or leave together, and in this chess game, Ross conceded chess at the beginning - he could have received a considerable salary, but he made a sacrifice first - but the return of the sacrifice was an unknown number of times the salary.

When it came to the famous "1 million per episode" salary negotiation, it was clear to everyone that the 6 actors would either sign together or leave together. In this game, Rose conceded at the beginning of the game - he could have received a decent salary, but he made a sacrifice first - but the reward for the sacrifice was an unknown number of times the salary.

"Well, they suggested that I get paid more, but I think it's better for us to stick together than that, and they expect me to get a little more money, but I think we should use this opportunity to make it clear that all six of us should get the same money," Ross later recalled. I don't want to feel like other people will have an opinion about me every day when I'm filming. ”

"I don't want to be in their shoes. "—and then I said the name of the lowest-paid actor — "It's ridiculous to come to film every day and do the same amount of work, and others can get twice as much money as themselves, or let's make a decision now, and we all take the same amount of money and do the same amount of work." "I thought it was important for everyone to form a small coalition because there were a lot of decisions to be made by the team when it came to publicity, and it was an unexpected result of our idea of coming together. This is all due to my experience with the troupe. We all get paid, all of us have to be waiters and we have to do other jobs, but all of us get paid the same, so that's really important to me. ”

It is precisely because of Rose's sacrifice that "Friends" can maintain its quality for decades, which can become the memory of an era.

Ross was really decisive, and his proposal was not without a price: by chance, the actor's treatment might be made worse by such an arrangement, but he believed that the price was worth it, and in doing so, he showed his reliability, so he took the risk first, and when the return on investment was not guaranteed, he was willing to take the early risk, which was a very strong sign of commitment to the new process.

Because of this, Ross won the friendship and respect of everyone, as Matthew recalled: "At that time, Ross was the highest paid. He is the main line in the film, and he can obviously get a higher salary than others...... Does he know that if we come together, our value increases? I don't know, but I think he's doing it sincerely, and I've always said that, that's what he is. ”

This is also the reason why Ross and Matthew have such a good relationship, and he impressed him with sincerity.

Xu Qian was also a little excited to see Ross and Matthew, after all, "Friends" is popular all over the world and is one of the greatest sitcoms in the world, and Xu Qian has no reason not to be excited.

Fortunately, his status has increased now, and he has seen too many stars, but he will not behave very "kneeling and licking".

Xu Qian looked at Ross and Matthew and only felt very warm, and the scenes of "Friends" came to his mind, although they had never met before, Xu Qian felt that he had been friends with them for many years.

"Nice to meet you, Rose. ”

Xu Qian said to Ross.

Ross said: "Director Xu, I'm also very happy to meet you." ”

Ross still has a lot of respect for Xu Gan, not only because of Warner's request, but also because Xu Qian is the director of "The Departed", and capable people can always get the respect of others.

"Hello Matthew. ”

Xu Qian and Matthew also came to a hug, of course, you can't favor one over the other.

Matthew and Ross both attach great importance to this movie, they are TV superstars, but their achievements on the screen are very limited, and every actor wants to shine on the big screen.

Among all the actors in "Friends", only the little sweetheart Rachel of the rice country is the most open.

Xu Qian gave the script to Ross and Matthew respectively, and Ross and Matthew were very dedicated and studied the script non-stop.

It is said that Westerners are lazy, but the really powerful people are not lazy.

Brother Li also came at this time, and saw her delicate and beautiful face, her complexion was as smooth and shiny as jade, her small nose bridge, cherry red thin lips, and under the two distant willow eyebrows, her warm eyes were as gentle and pure as water waves. The delicate combination of facial features is truly just right, and the beauty is dazzling.

She is wearing a well-fitting suit skirt, covering her delicate body, perfectly outlining the slender and slender, slender and graceful curves, ice and snow white, curd-like smooth skin, delicate and protruding plump and delicate snow-white thighs all have such a strong temptation, wearing a coffee-colored bag, wearing a black and white tweed coat, quite long, the hem is directly used as a skirt, and then, under the skirt, it is really a pair of slender legs, wearing thin black stockings, which is pleasing to the eye.

She pretended to be relaxed and greeted Xu Qian: "Long time no see." ”

Xu Qian also smiled: "Long time no see." ”

The two hugged gently, and at the moment of hugging, Brother Li hugged Xu Qian tightly.

"What about you?"

Xu Qian asked subconsciously.

"No, nothing. ”

Brother Li let go of Xu Qian, and she turned her face away, not letting Xu Qian see her red eyes.

Xu Qian said: "Since you are here, then everything is ready and only the east wind is owed." ”

The actors of "Home Alone" are basically in place, and now the most important one is missing, that is, the protagonist of "Home Alone", this protagonist is the real soul of "Home Alone".
