Chapter Eighty-Four: "Yitian" Female No. 2!
Under the guidance of Sister Hua, Li Xueshun negotiated a contract with the crew of "Returning the Pearl 3", and added an article: Liu Tao does not shoot kiss scenes and bed scenes.
For this reason, Mengren Film and Television made concessions, and Liutao's salary was reduced by 200, to 3,000 per episode.
In the TV industry, there are two ways to calculate the remuneration of the main actors: one is to discuss the remuneration in the form of packaging;
Package prices are for celebrities. The producer first asked the actor to read the script, informed him of the role in the play, and the two parties made regulations on the role and how long it would take for the scene to be completed, and finally paid the salary uniformly.
This kind of price is often a friendship price, but celebrities don't suffer either.
For them, time is money, and the scenes are completed a few days in advance, and they can shoot commercials, attend commercial performances, and shoot other TV series, and still get money.
For an ordinary actor like Liu Tao, it is impossible to enjoy this kind of treatment. After joining the group, you will honestly film with the group, even if you only have one scene today, it is impossible for you to shoot together tomorrow.
The remuneration is calculated according to the number of episodes, but it is not the total number of episodes multiplied by the remuneration of a single episode.
According to the script, "Returning the Pearl 3" has a total of forty episodes, and her pre-tax salary is not 3,000 times 40.
The number of episodes to calculate the remuneration is clearly stipulated in the contract. Only at least five appearances per episode can be counted as one episode, and if it is not enough, add and subtract the decimal system.
Her main role is concentrated in the second half, and her salary can be fifty or sixty thousand.
Deductions for taxes, company commissions, broker commissions, ...... I really don't have much money in my hands.
Therefore, the salary of a single episode is 200 yuan, which does not mean much, and Mai Xiaoyu values "Yitian" more than the beginning of next year.
Before the signing of the film contract of "Returning the Pearl 3", he had arranged for Liu Tao to start reading "Heaven and Dragon Slayer" to ponder the character and heart of the characters in the book;
When Su Youpeng invited him to dinner for the second time, he specially reminded him that he must help Liu Tao finalize the role before the end of the month, and the meaning of his words is obvious.
Some roles have auditions that are just a formality and don't even require an audition.
is like Su Youpeng, who plays the protagonist Zhang Wuji and needs to audition?
If it weren't for his full schedule this year, the crew would be ready to start filming in the second half of the year.
What Mai Xiaoyu wants to help Liu Tao fight for is the female number two, such an important role, and the sea of people is staring at.
It is not enough to rely on Su Youpeng's recommendation, he got the film contract of "Returning the Pearl 3", which added a strong sum to Liu Tao's acting resume, and now it can be operated slowly.
It's the same as going to graduate school, you can't wait until the grades come down and you go to the tutor when you're ready for the interview, when the daylilies are cold.
Dredging the relationship early to visit the dock will leave a good impression on the mentor, and the mentor can also mark the scope for you in advance, and the interview will be much easier in the future.
What Li Xue has to do now is to contact the crew of "Yitian" and maintain good contact with the director team. Let them know that there is such a person as Liu Tao, who has just taken over the filming of Qiong Yao's "Returning the Pearl 3", and the role is not light, and he has the intention to compete for the second female lead in "Yitian".
Coupled with Su Youpeng's recommendation, the crew will take Liu Tao into account when considering the female number two candidate.
When it is time to really exert force, Mai Xiaoyu will naturally take action and help Liu Tao win that role as much as possible.
The matter on Liutao's side came to an end for the time being, and the daily business of Mengren was handed over to Deng Chao, and Mai Xiaoyu began to prepare for a trip to South Korea.
These days, he has been keeping in touch with Jun Ji-hyun by email, and learned that IHQ Imaging Division is interested in investing in the filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and is evaluating the investment risk and considering whether to accept Mai Xiaoyu's funds.
Yesterday evening, he received a call from a section leader of IHQ's imaging division. The two sides reached a preliminary verbal agreement on the phone to jointly invest in the filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend" and invited him to come to South Korea to discuss.
As for the two conditions he proposed, the other party only agreed to arrange for Yu Xiaoxing to join the group as an assistant director, as for Zhang Xiaoquan's photographer, it is impossible.
Mai Xiaoyu was not surprised, the photographer's request was only used to bargain, in order to ensure that Yu Xiaoxing became the assistant director.
Mai Xiaoyu came to the company early this morning and called Xi Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan to the office.
"Lao Xi, how is the Korean language learning?"
"Ani Ace, Manla is looking forward to Ga Busmeta. Book Nenchen Xiaoxing Smecta, rub it is not as big as Kami. (Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you.) My name is Xiao Xing, please take care of me. )
Mai Xiaoyu nodded: "Yes, it's a little interesting." ”
"Hehe, you let him × say a few more words. ”
"Brother Fork, it's very unprofessional for you to say that. ”
"Okay, okay, just introduce yourself, I'll go with him anyway. ”
"Boss, are you coming with me?"
Of course.
"My Sassy Girlfriend" Mai Xiaoyu has an investment, he has to bring money over, and he has to sign a contract with the other party.
Investment, box office sharing, scripts, theme songs, these all have to negotiate and sign contracts.
It's just that he didn't tell the two of them, and the one million invested was also his private contribution, not from the company's account...... Well, the company doesn't have that much money on its books.
"Lao Xi, has the passport been issued?" asked Mai Xiaoyu.
"I got it a few days ago!"
Xiao Xing is very excited that he can finally become an assistant director, taking a solid step towards his dream of directing.
Zhang Xiaoquan is a little lonely, he also has dreams, quite a photographer, not a photographer who shoots commercials, but a film and television drama photographer!
"Brother Fork, turn back, I'll arrange it for you when you get back. ”
In the crew, generally speaking, the status of the cinematographer is second only to the director, and it is much more important than the assistant director, which is not so easy.
"Brother Fork, tomorrow Lao Yu and I will fly to South Korea, you have to worry about it on the company's side. ”
"Don't worry, I'm much more reliable than that × goods. Zhang Xiaoquan nodded, "Yu'er, are you going to get a passport now?"
"I have a passport, and I used to go abroad a lot. Mai Xiaoyu said casually.
"What about your visas? You two apply for visas now, and you won't be able to get off tomorrow. ”
"It's fine. Lao Xi, you give me the information before noon, and the visa will be available tomorrow. ”
No, how can the visa be so fast!
Xiao Xing persuaded: "Boss, the visa can't be faked. ”
Just kidding, who is full of fake visas to go abroad?
The South Korean government stipulates that it takes one to two days to issue a visa for visitors to South Korea invited by medical tourism organizations, which was specifically told by the head of the IHQ Imaging Division.
As for how to get an invitation from a medical tourism organization...... As long as you are willing to spend money, there are intermediaries in Yanjing who are willing to match!
In the afternoon of the same day, Mai Xiaoyu's private funds of 1 million were in place.
At noon the next day, the intermediary sent him and Xi Xiaoxing's visas.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Xiaoquan drove the two to the Capital International Airport.
Check in, go through security, and board your flight to Seoul, South Korea......
