Chapter 133: The Problem of Remuneration (I)

The three of them came to the office and sat down on the couch. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Mecca said loudly: "Actually, Zhou Yanfa's acting skills are still no problem, the only flaw in him is that his figure is a little inconsistent with the role of King Kong, but as long as he exercises, there is still no problem." ”

Shi Tian nodded in agreement: "Mecca is right, Zhou Yanfa's acting skills are enough to support the role of King Kong, as long as you exercise your body." ”

Lei Juewen nodded and said: "I also know that what you said is reasonable, but he is an artist of the Shaw Brothers, and Shao Tycoon is now stationed in TVB, and it is a competitive relationship with my Asia TV station, not to mention that I have no reason to make his artists popular, even if I am willing, Shao Tycoon is afraid that he will open a high price to embarrass us." ”

Mecca nodded and said: "That's right, Shaw Brothers makes movies under the big studio system, it's like playing, you can shoot if you want, and you don't need its artists to take on outside roles at all." ”

Shi Tian said: "In that case, then reject Zhou Yanfa and choose Xu Guangjie." Anyway, Xu Guangjie has no problems in all aspects, the only problem is his high salary. ”

Mecca said: "Tell him about our investment, talk about our difficulties, and believe that he should reduce some of them." ”

Lei Juewen said: "I am going to make a series of films for the best partner, as long as the film does not suffer a big loss, then there will definitely be the next one, tell him about this, I believe it will be easier to bargain." ”

Mecca nodded and said, "When I talk to him about the salary, I will talk to him about it." ”

Lei Juewen nodded and asked, "How are you preparing, when will you be able to start filming?" ”

Mecca said: "It's almost ready, and after Zhiwei is in place, it's time to start filming." ”

Lei Juewen smiled and said: "I still need his help over there, but it's only a matter of the past two days, that is, whether he needs to take some time off, I don't know." ”

"What to rest, if he doesn't want to do it, some people will do it." Mecca immediately said when he heard this, these days, I am afraid that I can't find a director if I have investment, if it weren't for this time he is also the protagonist, and the investment cost of the film is extremely high, there is no problem for him to be the director himself.

The three of them left the office after chatting for about ten minutes, and the reason why they left for about ten minutes is to indicate an attitude that the three of them made a decision after some careful consideration, rather than a decision made early.

Coming to the room where the previous audition was held, Lei Juewen shook his head and said to Zhou Yan: "Ah Fa, thank you very much for coming to the audition this time, but I'm sorry, the protagonist will be played by Mr. Xu." ”

Zhou Yanfa knew the result when he saw Lei Juewen shaking his head, although he had already expected the result, but when he heard that he was eliminated, he was inevitably disappointed. Investing tens of millions of dollars in the protagonist of the film is a great opportunity for him, but it's a pity that he missed it like this, how can he not be disappointed.

"Mr. Xu's acting skills are even better, and I am convinced of my loss."

Mecca said: "Your acting skills are not bad, but our positioning of the role of King Kong is more suitable for Xu Guangjie." ”

Zhou Yanfa nodded with a smile and said, "There is something to do with the TV station in the afternoon, so I will leave first." ”

"I'll send you!" Huang Baiming said loudly and sent Zhou Yan out.

Lei Juewen said to Zhang Aijia and Xu Guangjie: "Let's talk about the salary." ”

The next group left and came to the office in Mecca. Fortunately, the sofa in the office in Mecca is not small, and the desk can also be used for people, so there are enough seats for people.

After Lei Juewen glanced at Mecca, Mecca nodded and said to Zhang Aijia: "Aijia, let's talk about your salary first." ”

"You say." Zhang Aijia still cares about her salary, it's right that she loves movies, but filmmakers also need to eat, it is impossible for her to shoot without charge, as long as there is not too much gap with the price in her heart, she will not refuse.

Mecca said: "You are the heroine in this play, but this is a man's play, so your role is relatively small, and the salary is relatively small." For this drama, after we discussed, the salary we offered you was 80,000 Hong Kong dollars. ”

"Okay, that's enough for the price!"

Zhang Aijia listened to Mecca's salary and agreed very happily. The bottom price in her heart is 50,000 Hong Kong dollars, and 80,000 Hong Kong dollars is already beyond her bottom line, which is higher than the 70,000 Hong Kong dollars she expected, and she has no reason to refuse.

The salary of 80,000 Hong Kong dollars seems to be a lot, but it depends on who it is for, the salary of the Hong Kong Island actress is not high, and the role of Zhang Aijia's man's wife is relatively small, so the salary is naturally low. And the salary of 80,000 Hong Kong dollars to Zhang Aijia is actually very sincere.

After seeing that Zhang Aijia had no opinion, Mecca said to Xu Guangjie: "Xu Guangjie, the investment in this film is very large, but most of it is spent on props and post-production, so I can't give you too much on your salary, I hope you can understand this." ”

Shi Tian echoed: "We decided to make this film into a series, so if nothing else, you will be the protagonist in the future, so let's see if you can reduce your salary." ”

"Then how much can you pay me here?"

As long as the salary is not too low, Xu Guangjie will not refuse. His fame is very great, yes, the market salary is very high, but it is precisely because of this problem that he has no filming. His salary is worth millions of Hong Kong dollars, but it is impossible for someone to spend millions of Hong Kong dollars to ask him to film, at present, the box office of most films on Hong Kong Island is only two or three million, and his salary is one million, so investors don't have to make money, unless the film can guarantee a box office of more than five million Hong Kong dollars, it is not cost-effective. But the film has a box office of 5 million Hong Kong dollars, who can guarantee this? No one dares to guarantee it at all, so no one outside invites him to film, he can only film in his own company, and he can't make much money while filming in his own company.

"How about 500,000 Hong Kong dollars?" Mecca tentatively named a number.

Hearing this number, Xu Guangjie didn't say anything, Xu Guangying said first: "This is too little, Ajie's salary is more than that, your price is half lower than the market price." ”

Mecca said helplessly: "There is no way to do this, the investment cost of the film is too high." ”

Xu Guangying shook his head and said: "No matter how high your investment cost is, you can't reduce the investment cost on Ajie, 500,000 Hong Kong dollars is too little, you have to add some." ”

Xu Guangjie didn't speak next to him, he also felt that 500,000 Hong Kong dollars was too little, and if he could add some, he naturally wanted to add some.
