Chapter 874: Prison Break

Qiu Yu was a little anxious and came to Chen Hao's side and told him what happened.

Congratulations to Chen Hao for getting a very high salary in the American drama industry chain, a TV series that has not yet started filming, a film that has not yet been tested by the market, Chen Hao got a salary of $150 per episode, just now, major media and websites have exposed this news one after another, and it has been officially recognized by the producer and the actors' union to confirm the authenticity of the news.

This is the United States, Chen Hao was a little surprised, they were all close to the collapse of the talks, it was the final negotiation between the team, the union and Fox, if they couldn't reach an agreement, they would be broken up, Chen Hao didn't mention a lot of conditions, they were all required by normal actors, and the rest was a hard indicator condition of only signing for two seasons.

There is an actor union in which it is a third party different from the Chinese system, and in the end there will be a review of the cooperation requirements of both parties, which is such a situation now, Chen Hao feels that it is basically impossible to talk, and he has the intention of giving up, so he entrusts his team to talk, his hard indicators are placed there, and he agreed to the rest of the normal negotiation and normal signing, and the other party agreed at once, the actor union as a witness is also a binding body between the two parties, and it also has a role that is now, Fox can directly announce the news of cooperation.

There is this right, but under normal circumstances, no company will do this, and will be with the actor himself to find a more suitable environment to publicly announce, everyone stands together, and leaves a side-by-side cooperation photo for everyone to take for each other.

Fox suddenly announced the news, and the salary of $1.5 million per episode is far lower than Chen Hao's bottom line, and even higher than the initial offer amount for doing a good job of see-sawing, although Chen Hao relies on the role of a clown and his fame to make himself among the actors with tens of millions of salaries, but the salary of 1.5 million episodes is too scary, Game of Thrones At the height of its popularity, the five leading actors were only paid for one million-level episode, which was the salary price after accumulating several seasons and having a large number of viewers and fans around the world.

Without such a crazy price, Swift and the people who saw him would not say congratulations, not only to make money, but also to earn all the eyeballs.

Fox officially announced that the popular star MOUSE will participate in Fox's new drama "Prison Break", with a salary of 1.5 million per episode.

You must know that Huaxia is the largest buyer's market in the world today, and the same is true in the film and television song industry, a movie in your global box office, a single Huaxia can contribute to the box office comparable to North America, and the derivative value of a TV series If you don't get a hit in Huaxia, then your commercial value is limited.

Fox's announcement, a new drama that has not yet been tested by the market, immediately became a drama with global expectations reaching a boiling point, and Chen Hao's fans and Chinese audiences around the world alone paved the way for this film to win the favor of advertisers before filming started.

Chen Hao can understand that Fox is using himself as a publicity, as early as when the other party found him, when he was willing to pay himself a high salary, he knew that the other party would definitely make a fuss about his fame, which can be regarded as subverting the consistent model of American dramas, look at those popular American drama actors, more than ninety percent of them are unknown, and suddenly a popular drama series will make you a popular artist for several seasons in a row.

Of course, American drama celebrities have a full sense of labeling, leaving the drama that made them popular, no matter what they filmed, it didn't seem to go well, and it has been the case for so many years, gradually, in addition to the salary, these people are locked in a small category of a drama in terms of commercial value, and after leaving this drama, there will be no great commercial value immediately, and even some concepts will be generated They don't have much commercial value.

Fox takes a new drama to find a popular big star to play the starring role, except for the name, there is no information to show the content of the story, this is completely subversive, success is innovation, once it fails, it is death, Chen Hao feels a little strange here, especially the fact that the other party suddenly agreed from the hesitation of almost giving up and gave a higher salary, he was a little uneasy, the increase in salary is a reason for him to cooperate more with the promotion of the series, and there is no possibility of passing the test in his place.

In the afternoon, in the face of everyone's congratulations, Chen Hao behaved very indifferently, and called the company's team to ask them to confirm every detail of the contract to ensure that there would not be a little loophole drilled by the other party.

22 episodes, this is the number of episodes in the first season where the script does not have any elasticity, in Hollywood, there are strict requirements for scripts, movie scripts are those pages, 110 pages to 130 pages, one page is a minute of scenes, and this very small adjustable range of script pages, the length of the film that can be shot is also rated, it seems to be the mechanization of the assembly line, but it also reveals a maturity of the system.

The salary of 33 million US dollars suddenly pushed Chen Hao to the forefront, and many of the congratulations of others smelled of jealousy, only the top Hollywood actor could get the number from the salary bonus for a movie;

The meeting of the Super Bowl performance this afternoon continued, and there was an extra link on the way that everyone would peek at Chen Hao from time to time, and occasionally someone with a mobile phone would look at him a few more times.

In one afternoon, the news spread to the world, and all kinds of voices began to spread through the media and the Internet. It's still the style of the past, Chen Hao is used to it, the media is also used to it, about some of his pioneering types of news events, praise and criticism are standard, in which polarization, opposition, contradictions and conflicts are commonplace, one thing can tell the huge difference between heaven and earth, Chen Hao is also the only one.

When he returned to the hotel in the evening, the team was already waiting for him with the contract, and several professional lawyers crossed over to confirm that there was no problem with this actor contract, except for a few additional clauses, it was the actor contract that the actor union standard, and among the additional clauses, there was one that Chen Hao didn't know, but after reading it, he also felt that it was normal to have no problem.

"With MOUSE's working time as the axis, in the state of conditions and time, we will try our best to cooperate with the crew's filming schedule and drama-related publicity. ”

This is a very elastic--clause, put it on it, there is equal to nothing, even if Chen Hao does not cooperate with the promotion and filming schedule of the series, he can also use the conflict of his work schedule as an explanation, the contract is not binding at all, so why did this article be added?

Chen Hao doesn't feel that this is the other party currying favor with him, and he has no qualifications to let the other party please him in this way.

Suspicion is suspicion, if you want to refuse but have no reason, if it is outside Hollywood, he may refuse because of a little jealousy and suspicion in his heart, money will never be a reason for him to compromise, but this is Hollywood, in front of a powerful actors' union, the other party is such a powerful company, there is no defensible reason to refuse, it's not that it can't be, the cost is too great.

"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth. ”

Between suspicion and possible doubts, the attraction of this script and the character has become a bargaining chip that makes the balance unbalanced, Chen Hao confirmed that he would countersign, and early the next morning, in a very formal way, under the witness of several heavy media on the scene, the two sides signed the contract, "Prison Break" The plan was officially launched, Chen Hao signed a contract to cooperate with the publicity, and won the headlines of the entertainment news pages of more than a dozen countries in one fell swoop, such a personal influence also put a label on the sky-high salary of 1.5 million episodes, which is not too wronged, at least no one will think that Fox is stupid.

Is the new model successful, whether the new drama is successful, and how much will the money be lost once it fails? While calculating these, we must also calculate the potential value that Chen Hao's personal influence brings to this drama and Fox.

The new song "MY LOVE" continues to continue Chen Hao's previous glory, and quickly occupies the first place after landing on the major lists, although it is not as shining as the Grammys last year, but it still steps on the stage of the Grammys, which has greatly improved his personal fame, and then there will be Super Bowl performances, as well as Oscar competition. Prison Break ran to participate in it, which is equal to the sky-high price of the 1.5 million bought actors, and threw part of the attention accumulated in this paragraph to this new drama of Fox, under the new model, a new drama without any market test, has become the most anticipated new drama of the year, note, this is not Asia, in the North American market, it is also the most popular new drama, there is no one, according to Fox's idea, I don't have to wait until September and October when the big American dramas are piled up, with the current attention, the sooner the effect, the better, March and April, it has become the first choice。

Fox continues to squeeze Chen Hao's recent attention with various gimmicks, it can be said that they have succeeded, they have opened up a new path in the field of TV dramas, there is no need to do this in the field of movies, just take the old road, what if Chen Hao's personal attention and influence are injected into a new film project? Will there be better results?

After two rounds of negotiations with Chen Hao, they reached an agreement that only the heroine's film script was also from Fox, and they felt that they should start the second round of publicity plans, and the top priority now was to find a heroine who could satisfy Chen Hao and everyone.

"Whoever he wants, he does what he says, as long as he makes this movie. ”

In the dark corner, the voice of Chen Hao's participation in "Prison Break", which had been the final word, appeared again, and this time, he was not recognized and supported.

"NONO, THE FAILURE OF THE MOVIE IS TOO COSTLY, BESIDES, THE SAME TRICK WILL NOT WORK CONTINUOUSLY, YOU KNOW, WE VALUE MOUSE VERY MUCH, HE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A SUPERSTAR, OUR PURPOSE IS NOT TO DESTROY HIM, BUT TO TIE HIM TO OUR SHIP AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE. ”
