Chapter Eighty-Five: Who's Next?
Mai Xiaoyu's trip to South Korea was quite smooth, except for a slight disagreement when negotiating with IHQ]
According to the calculation of IHQ Image Division, the total investment amount of "My Sassy Girlfriend" is about 3 million yuan when converted into Huaxia coins. Mai Xiaoyu invested 1 million and enjoyed 30% of the box office share.
Mai Xiaoyu did not agree, he asked for 40%.
The reason is simple. The script is his, and the theme song is also his, all of which must be counted.
After several days of bickering, the two sides finally reached an agreement.
Mai Xiaoyu enjoys 39% of the box office share with 1 million in cash, the script of "My Sassy Girlfriend" and the theme song, and the two parties share the film copyright according to the proportion of investment. He gave up the rights to shoot the sequel and remake, and as compensation, the copyright of the theme song "ibelieve" belonged to him.
Mak Xiaoyu readily agreed.
He remembers very well that "My Sassy Girlfriend" in the strange dream was not remade, and as for the sequel "My Sassy Girlfriend 2", it failed miserably at the box office.
This kind of sequel filming rights and remake rights are not needed, but the theme song "ibelieve" is covered by many singers, and the tangible and intangible value is not low.
signed a contract, discussed the script with the director at a deep level, and helped the crew finalize the actor Cha Tae-hyun, asked the director to train Xiao Xing, and had a barbecue with Jun Ji Hyun, and when the crew officially started, Mai Xiaoyu hurriedly flew back to China.
"Returning the Pearl 3" has been started, and Liu Tao is going to join the group!
On the third day of Mai Xiaoyu's flight to South Korea, "Returning the Pearl 3" held a grand opening ceremony and announced the list of actors for the first time.
Almost all the main characters in the play have changed actors, which has caused fans of "Returning the Pearl" to salivate.
In the previous two "Returning the Pearl", Zhao Ling, Lin Xinru, Su Youpeng and others interpreted the characters in the play deeply into the hearts of the people. Many long-awaited fans of "Returning the Pearl" found it difficult to accept the fact that the actors were changed on a large scale, and the sound of "dog's tail continued mink" was once again triggered on the Internet.
Is the dog's tail continued to marten?
Mai Xiaoyu doesn't care, what he cares about is that Liu Tao, who plays Princess Musha, is a new role, no audience cares, and he is not sprayed;
The crew is a small river, between actors and actors, between actors and staff, between staff and staff, full of all kinds of tricks. Even among the extras at the bottom, there is a phenomenon of stealing the scene and tearing up.
For example, in an anti-Japanese war scene, the doctor treats the wounded soldiers on the battlefield and asks how the wounded soldiers are doing. If you speak late, you'll be robbed of words by the wounded soldier next to you. The word is very simple, just four words, "It's okay, it's okay", but if someone else says it, the camera will definitely not give it to you.
The extras are still like this, not to mention a pure newcomer like Liu Tao, and an important role like Princess Musha, it is especially important to find someone to cover the crew at the dock.
And Liu Qianqian, one of the heroines, is a very suitable dock, and the key is that Mai Xiaoyu has a way.
Liu Tao is not the protagonist, and she still carries a new advertising contract that Li Xue helped her with, and she did not immediately join the group on the day of start-up.
It wasn't until the advertisement was filmed that she was ready to join the group in accordance with the contract, and Mai Xiaoyu rushed back to China the day before she joined the group.
After coming back, Mengren Film and Television held a company dinner as usual, chose a Xijiang restaurant, booked a private room, and all the staff arrived...... Well, except for the small stars thrown in South Korea.
The atmosphere was lively and everyone was very excited. Liu Tao is naturally the heroine of the dinner, and frequently accepts the blessings of colleagues.
"Sister Tao, congratulations, I toast you. ”
"If you want to take pictures and sign autographs, hurry up, be careful that Sister Tao will be popular in the future, you don't have a chance!"
"Sister Tao, can you help me get a signed photo of Zhang Liuqianqian, I'm her fan. ”
"Let's all have another cup of Sister Tao, and I wish her a good show!"
……
Everyone took turns to salute Liu Tao, and Liu Tao also saluted everyone for a round as a return gift, and finally paid tribute to three people.
"Xiaoxue, thank you for helping me negotiate a film appointment......"
"Mr. Zhang, thank you for the beautiful photos you took for me, and for showing me how to look photogenic......"
"Mr. Mai, thank you for taking care of me in the past few months, and I remember all the things you have paid for me......"
Tonight, Liu Tao was the happiest and the first to get drunk. Before the dinner was over, she had already fainted and collapsed in Li Xue's arms, and Li Xue took care of her.
At the end of the dinner, Zhang Xiaoquan held a wine glass and said in Mai Xiaoyu's ear: "Mr. Mai, Liu Tao will join the group to film tomorrow, and her side will be stable." Shall we sign another artist?"
In private, he used to call Mai Xiaoyu "fish", so cordial, just like Xi Xiaoxing shouting "boss"; in public, the two of them knew the measure, and they both called "Mr. Mai".
Deng Chao's ears were sharp, and when he heard Zhang Xiaoquan's words, he immediately echoed: "Mr. Mai, what Mr. Zhang said is right, our company should sign another artist." ”
As soon as he shouted, the other employees began to heckle.
"Yes, Mr. Mai, Mr. Zhang and Brother Chao are right, there are too few artists in our company. ”
"It's true that Sister Tao is great, but the company can't have only one artist. ”
"Sign another one, shoot advertisements first, preferably daily necessities, hehe. ”
"You want benefits, right?"
"Don't you want to?"
Li Xue also said: "Mr. Mai, sign one more from the members." During this time, they have been shouting in the group, and many people want to sign a contract with the company to become a signed artist. ”
Mai Xiaoyu smiled, he had been thinking about this for a long time.
Two comics, a song, two commercials, a novel, and Liu Tao's little lotus show sharp corners, which can prove the value of that strange dream. He will not let go of this opportunity to make a fortune, but the question is ...... Who to sign?
"I think that Wang Chuhan is good. Zhang Xiaoquan put forward his own opinion.
With him taking the lead, others have also put forward their own candidates.
The candidates they put forward belong to their respective responsible members. often recommends, notifies auditions, and contacts more, if they can copy Liutao's path after signing a contract, they are also expected to become artist assistants, or even ...... Broker.
The risk is too great.
Mai Xiaoyu shook his head secretly.
Cute film and television have just started and can't afford any failures.
The second artist signed must be guaranteed success and cannot be smashed in his hands.
He decided to refer to the strange dream first, wait until the cute person is big and has the ability to make stars, and then think about other things.
All the candidates proposed by everyone are still a little meaningful to Wang Chuhan in Zhang Xiaoquan's mouth, but they don't mean much.
Of his alternate candidates, there are three better than her.
Deng Chao!
Huang Bo!
Yang Mi!
Deng Chao is the old man of the company, the current business manager, the middle-level backbone, and a little reluctant.
Huang Bo's appearance is destined not to take the ordinary road, and he must go sideways, which is a little troublesome.
As for Yang Mi...... It's a bit small.
Put some water first, and then think about it when you go back in the evening.
Coming out of the bathroom, I passed by a private room.
The waiter who served the food pushed the door in, and the moment the door opened, Mai Xiaoyu inadvertently saw a familiar figure......
