Chapter 275, riding a donkey to find a donkey

"Ten percent of the cut?" Honggu heard Mo Fei say that her salary for starring in "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" was raised to 20 million plus a net box office share of 10 percent, and she always felt that this was Mo Fei eating a small stove for herself, and her head shook like a rattle, and said: "This is not good, my current salary is already the highest, if you add so much to me, it will make others have opinions, and when the time comes, you will not add it to others, you should think about it seriously." ”

This matter has been planned for a long time, an actor who can have box office appeal around the world, if there is no salary worthy of his status, this is against common sense. You must know that soon Hollywood will have a 15% basic box office sharing agreement, and even some Hong Kong actors will be able to get 20% of the box office in a few years, although those shares are calculated based on the local box office, but counting a favor for their own women, this 10% net box office is really not much.

Waving his hand, he said: "You are thinking too much about this, I did this completely according to the rules, and it has nothing to do with our relationship at all, you are definitely worthy of this value now." Of course, I have to report it when I am worth this value, otherwise others will say that I am so stingy even with my own woman, and I will not cooperate with me in the future. Our goal is the global market, and your fans are more in the big market, which cannot be measured by Hong Kong actors, you are called arrogant. Besides, the actors of the company, as long as they are professional actors, who doesn't know the difference between the global market and the Hong Kong market, and whose value has reached what position, I will naturally adjust him. ”

That's what I said. Zhong Chuhong accepted it like this, and if he thought about it carefully, he really didn't broaden his horizons too widely, and Hollywood actresses didn't get two or three million salaries. Why can't you yourself, and what your man gives, what can't you take? However, this 10% share plus a salary of 20 million yuan, how much does it have to be, based on "Pretty Woman", which is not the most box office at the top, this film will have to exceed 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and the salary of tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands in previous years. I really can't find it when I throw it in.

After talking about the new film, Mo Fei talked about the arrangements for Honggu in the next year, and then started talking about other topics. Chatting and chatting, in the end, of course, there was only dry wood and burning sheets left.

……

As soon as Mo Fei entered the company the next morning, all the artists and employees in the company stopped their work and began to applaud neatly under the leadership of Chen Pu and Lian Bo. Mo Fei was stunned for a moment, and then reacted. This is to congratulate him on his directorial debut and the success of his directorial debut in the United States.

Everyone gives face like this. Such enthusiasm can't help but be expressed. When everyone's enthusiasm was almost vented, he raised his hand and pressed it falsely, so that the applause stopped, and announced that he would make the banquet for everyone in the company in the evening, and everyone who was not there notified each other, which triggered a second warm applause.

After a while, everyone went about their work. Mo Fei and Lian Bo, Chen Pu, Wu Long, and Feng Meiji went into the office and sat down, ready to learn about the situation in the company during his absence. Let's talk about the work later.

The little secretary Yinan is considered to be a close friend of the boss, and the relationship with Mo Fei is much better than that of other staff, after bringing the tea, he handed Mo Fei a card and said: "I made this card myself, congratulations to Mr. Mo for the big hit in the United States, and I also wish "The Silence of the Lambs" can continue to achieve good results all over the world." ”

Mo Fei took the card and looked at it, it was really delicate enough, there was a three-dimensional picture of "The Silence of the Lambs" in it, and it was also played with a ribbon on the top, and there was a special-shaped grid below, and the name and date of the country were filled in in the project, and there was a vacant place behind it that should record the box office, the cost and hard work of this card were much more than the cards bought on the market, so it can be seen that it was indeed a lot of hard work.

"Yes, that's good, I like it." Mo Fei nodded in gratitude, and said: "It took a lot of work to make this card, but it's really good, then this matter will be handed over to you in the future, every time I make a movie, you make me a card like this to commemorate, which is considered as I ask you to help me." I don't know what you need, how to thank you, wait for you to remember to go to the finance to get 20,000 yuan, it can be regarded as a thank you for this heart. ”

"I don't want it, I made this card myself, it didn't cost much, where is it worth 20,000 yuan. And my monthly salary is already very high, and only the secretaries of the chairmen of those large groups in Hong Kong have a higher salary than me, Mr. Mo, if you take so much care of me, and I have to be rewarded for doing this, then I will be too incompetent. "Inan is a very stubborn girl, she thinks that what she should do will be done well, and giving a reward feels a little slighted or insulted to her; And if you hold such a bonus in your hand, people will speak ill of you behind your back.

Mo Fei also looked at the card and really liked it, and felt that it was fun to make such a picture every time the director made a play, but it was not appropriate to let people do it for nothing every time, so I had the idea of giving a reward, of course my secretary can't give less, 20,000 yuan is the basic line, how do you know that this little girl is really in a hurry.

I usually didn't find that this girl couldn't get along with money, and her feelings just regarded money as dung, so she hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll take back what I just said, but if I want you to do it so white, won't you become a black-hearted boss." In this way, the bonus will not be given to you, I will personally give you a watch, so it will be no problem, and I will be really unhappy if you object to me again. ”

As Mo Fei's secretary, of course, Yi Nan also knows his boss better, and he was rejected for bonuses before, and now if this watch is still refused, it will really make Mo Fei unable to get off the stage. And although Mo Fei's watch is likely to be much more expensive than 20,000 yuan, the impact is almost none, at least it will not be spread like a bonus.

The relationship between the secretary and the boss should have been very harmonious, and considering the factors in Mo Fei's personality, it was impossible for Yi Nan not to agree at this time, and nodded and said, "Okay, thank you Mr. Mo!" ”

looked at Yi Nan and nodded and agreed. Mo Fei felt psychologically balanced, he didn't want to owe a little girl a favor, and ordered: "That's good." You can help me book a restaurant again, count the number of people, enough for everyone to have dinner tonight, and the dishes will be better. ”

Yi Nan agreed to go out to do things, and Mo Fei also began to listen to Lian Bo and Chen Pu talk about the company's situation during this time, and he was not in Hong Kong for half a month, although he also had phone contact. But the specific work is more detailed in person.

Lian Bo is now in charge of the record company, took out a small notebook, and helped his eyes. said: "There is nothing special on the record company's side, the soundtracks of several movies such as "City of Angels", "Taiping Mountain", and "Samantha" were all handed over to Polygram for distribution, and the sales were not bad; Sally's new album went on sale at the beginning of the month, both in Southeast Asia and other overseas Chinese markets. More than 300,000 shipments have been made in half a month; The soundtrack and interlude of "Farewell My Concubine" have also been produced. You said you had to listen to it yourself......"

The record company is running normally, and the next thing is the Phoenix Culture and Phoenix Publishing House that Chen Pu is in charge of, Chen Pu is different from Lian Bo, opened a folder, and said: "Phoenix Publishing House now in addition to publishing the two comics of "Dragon Ball" and "Saint Seiya", it has also received contributions from some authors, hoping to publish works through us, but because there are no editors-in-chief and editors at present. So for the time being, I can only press it first, and I plan to start officially building the publishing house next year. Strive to attract more authors, so that you don't have to rely on only two works of Mr. Mo. In addition, Japan's Hitotsubashi Group, which cooperated with us on "Dragon Ball", also sent someone to cooperate with the release of "Saint Seiya" in Japan some time ago, and it is still being negotiated.

Phoenix Culture has a total of eight films to be made before the end of the year, Mr. Mo, the "Silence of the Lambs" directed by you has been released in the United States, and now the company has completed the production of "Soul Catcher" and "Xinzha Senior Sister", "Miss Beauty Pageant" will be able to enter post-editing in three to five days, and it should be released within ten days; Other "Pink Alliance" and "Mr. Sweetheart" have also entered the late stage of filming, only "Ace Spy" stopped for three days because of Dong Biao's heavy cold, but it should be over within half a month, and the schedule will definitely be able to catch up. In addition, the Chinese New Year film, Mr. Mo, you told me on the phone a few days ago that you want to prepare for it are almost on my side, and it will be done in two more days, and the company will go all out to start this film? ”

Lian Bo and Chen Pu are old but passionate, and the other is solid and hardworking, and they are also enterprising, this craftsman's music is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger, which also makes Mo Fei very impressed with his cheap father Mo Yousen, without a little personality charm, how can he win over these people.

After listening to the report of the two, Mo Fei briefly went through the plan in his mind, and said: "Everything is going well on the side of Famous Craftsman Music, there is Lao Lianbo for you." The publishing house's affairs Lao Chen, you can do it yourself, and the copyright of the comics is just according to "Dragon Ball" for the time being, and there is basically no need to make any changes. As for the Chinese New Year film, there is no need to go all out, as long as we do the preparation well, the filming will be very fast. The actors are still the same, everyone in the company can be on it, and there are those peers who want to participate in "The Silence of the Lambs" before, as long as the roles are roughly arranged, come and shoot one person's shot, it can be done in a maximum of twenty days, there is no need to make everyone so tired. ”

Could it be that there is actually a sentence that has not been said, if he really wants to do that, he will become a joke in the Hong Kong film industry. Some people don't care if you have any achievements before, as long as you have fun at the moment, they can get high, the boss is the director and makes films, and they can only play by relying on the company's full force, isn't this exactly what they want.

After talking about the Chinese New Year film, Mo Fei said: "This time in the United States has gained a lot, and next year our film will be sold to NBC TV in the United States, and taking this step will be very beneficial to future development." In the first step, I plan to use three Chinese actors, one heroine, and the other two are supporting roles of one man and one woman, or in order to get more support in the Asian region, one or two actors from other Asian countries are also acceptable, as long as they are not from Indonesia and the Philippines. The actors in the supporting roles are easy to say, let's just say that this heroine is one of several heroines, the figure must be relatively plump, it must be Chinese, and it is best to have a look that is easy for European and American audiences to accept, do you have anything to recommend? ”

For the Chinese heroine of "Coastal Lifeguard", Mo Fei really can't think of any suitable candidate. Among the young actresses in Hong Kong or Taiwan, among the suitable age groups in this era, there is only Hong Jinbao's future wife, Hong Kong sister Gao Lihong, who just stepped down this year, is a mixed-race beauty, but this person is really not suitable. Another one that can be thought of is He Chaoqiong's cousin Mai Huiyu, and she herself has the idea of developing in the entertainment industry, but this can't be used, it's better to use Gao Lihong.

On the way back from the United States, he was thinking about this problem, and even communicated with Honggu after coming back, but in the end he didn't find that there are actors today who are suitable for this condition, even Gao Lihong and Mai Huiyu are not very good at plumpness. Think about the waves in the previous life in "Coastal Lifeguard" that were so turbulent that people wanted to have nosebleeds, how could they get out if they weren't stacked up of mountains, and now they can only be brainstormed.

'Everyone rows a big boat', 'professional things and professional people will do it', these words are really true, could it be that as soon as a question was asked here, Feng Meiji, the director of the artist department, immediately gave the answer: "Mr. Mo, is that Liu Mujun who won the best stage performance award for Miss Asia this time, her appearance is very Westernized, and her height reaches five feet seven inches (one meter seven), and her three measurements are thirty-six, twenty-five, and thirty-six, and this is the one I can think of at present." ”

"I'm just riding a donkey looking for a donkey", Mo Fei patted his thigh and said: "If it weren't for Miss Feng, you said, I would have forgotten that the company signed such a baby, you really have a specialization in the art industry, and you, the director of the artist department, are better than me." I've been thinking about it for three days, but I didn't expect this person to be in my company, and I'm afraid that people will laugh out of my teeth when I say it. ”

Feng Meiji, as the director of the artist department, is indeed very competent and professional, and the information of every artist under Phoenix Culture and Famous Artisan Music has a backup in her mind, who is more prominent or distinctive in which aspect, and who has expertise in what aspect also has something in mind, even if it is a new artist, she remembers it, could it be that she really dug up a treasure to grab this talent in advance.
