Chapter 8 Wang Fatzi (II) (Revised)
After seeing that Wang Jing didn't refuse immediately, Lei Juewen couldn't help laughing, he knew that Wang Fatzi was moved. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
I can't help but be unimpressed, the opportunity for a newcomer to direct the director for the first time is too rare, whether it is now or in the future, this will not change. I think that after graduating from Lei Juewen University, he worked in the positions of cinematographer, field management, and assistant director for more than four years before he got the opportunity to direct the director and become a director.
Wang Fatzi relied on his old bean Wang Tianlin in Shaw Brothers, and there must be a chance to direct the director, after all, Wang Tianlin's status and Shao Tycoon's relationship are there, but it is difficult to say when. Maybe a few months, maybe a year, maybe three or five years, it's all possible.
Of course, Wang Fatzi has a good opportunity, at least he will be able to direct the movie Qianwang Dou Qianba next year, and there is also a very good box office, which has made a good start to his directing career. It's just that what will happen next year, Wang Fatzi doesn't know now, he doesn't know that he will have the opportunity to be a director at Shaw Brothers next year, otherwise he won't have to think about it, and he will directly refuse Lei Juewen's invitation.
"What do you want, sir?" The waiter at the café walked over.
Seeing the waiter coming over to ask, although Lei Juewen had already eaten, he still asked for a pot of tea and two snacks, and sent the waiter away.
Lei Juewen didn't bother Wang Jing, who was hesitating, just sat in his seat and waited quietly. This kind of thing must be thought about carefully, it is impossible to make the other party make a decision immediately, it is too unrealistic.
"Mr. Lei, I'll consider taking a look, can I?"
After a while, Wang Jing still couldn't make up his mind and decided to think again.
Lei Juewen said happily: "Okay, of course there is no problem!" ”
"Mr. Lei, then this script..."Wang Jing still hopes to sell the script first, his wife has a big belly, and it is an exaggeration to not be able to open the pot, but it is a fact that he has no money left to buy supplements, otherwise he would not have thought about selling the script.
Lei Juewen groaned when he heard this, thought for a while, and said: "Jing Zai, I won't hide it from you, if I open a film company, I will definitely have to throw a lot of money into it, and there will be no shortage of directors and screenwriters at that time, and there will definitely be no shortage of scripts." I asked Cuong to meet and talk to you, not to buy scripts, but mainly to recruit talents. ”
"That's right..."
Wang Jing was disappointed for a while, but he had nothing to say.
Seeing this, Lei Juewen said: "Jing Zai, you should know that the script is not very valuable, and 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy your script is already a high price." But if you join my company, and then you direct the director of this script, you will definitely make more than 10,000 Hong Kong dollars. ”
Wang Jing's heart moved when he heard this, and asked, "Mr. Lei, what kind of treatment does your company give to directors?" ”
Lei Juewen smiled slightly, did not hide it, and said: "In my vision, the directors of my company will be divided into five levels of SABCD. A D-level director is a rookie director, and this director will receive 3% of the local box office on Hong Kong Island as a remuneration, and a box office of 1 million Hong Kong dollars will be paid 30,000 Hong Kong dollars; A C-level director is a director who has made a film with a box office of more than HK$5 million on Hong Kong Island, and his remuneration is 5% of the domestic box office; A B-level director is a director who has made a film with a box office of more than HK$10 million on Hong Kong Island, and his remuneration is 7% of the local box office; A-level directors are directors who have made a film with a box office of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars on Hong Kong Island, and their remuneration is 10% of the local box office; The highest S-level is a director who has made a Hong Kong Island box office of more than 30 million Hong Kong dollars, and his remuneration is 15% of the local box office. ”
"Mr. Lei, this reward is too much, right?"
Listening to Lei Juewen's words, Wang Jing couldn't help swallowing his saliva, the director's remuneration was inevitably too high. If someone makes a film with a box office of more than 30 million, the remuneration must not reach 5 million Hong Kong dollars? directly asked for one-sixth of the local box office, which is not ordinarily rich.
"Is it much? Not much at all! ”
Lei Juewen stretched out his index finger and shook it, and said with a smile: "Jing Zai, let me tell you this, now Hong Kong Island has not even been born with a box office of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, so at least in the next two years, there will be no films with a box office of more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and the highest is B-level treatment." Besides, the higher the box office, the more the boss of my company earns, after all, the harvest in Taiwan, Southeast Asia, Japan and South Korea will increase with the increase of the local box office, and the company's income will be higher. ”
Wang Jing couldn't help but say: "But if a director makes a film with a box office of more than 10 million, and then his film keeps hitting the streets, won't the company lose a lot?" ”
"After his first hit on the street, the level of treatment he enjoyed will drop, and he will not always be allowed to enjoy the same treatment as he was at his peak." Lei Juewen explained with a smile, he was not stupid, how could such a thing not be imagined.
Wang Jingqiang resisted the urge to agree immediately, and said: "Mr. Lei, I'll go back and discuss with my old bean, and give you an answer in two days, what do you think?" ”
"No problem, as long as you give me an answer within a week!"
Lei Juewen smiled and nodded, took out a business card from his pocket, and handed it to Wang Jingdao: "This is my business card, after you think about it, you can contact me at any time." Jing Zai, remember not to exceed a week, once this time is exceeded, the company will recruit more people, and there will naturally be more films to be made. It's true that I'm rich, but it's impossible to start making too many films at once, so if you come too late, I can't guarantee that you will have the money to make you film. ”
"I'll get back to you as soon as I can, Mr. Lei!"
Wang Jing answered, took the business card and looked at it, but there were only three words Lei Juewen and a line of landline numbers on it, and there were no other superfluous words.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your good news!"
For Wang Fatzi, Lei Juewen believes in his ability more than the current Wang Fatzi himself, no matter what, this fat man, he is settled. Even if he is rejected now, he has a way to do it.
Even if Wang Fatzi finally rejected him Lei Juewen and stayed in Shaw Brothers, and when his film company opened, other directors would earn tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars for a film, and he Wang Jing would only have a dead salary and a little bonus to get in Shaw Brothers, and after a few times, he couldn't believe that he could bear it. Don't say it's Wang Jing, if you are anyone, you can't help it, why do you have the same ability, others have gained millions, but you only have tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars?
As soon as Lei Juewen's trick comes out, whether it is Shaw Brothers or Golden Harvest, it will be greatly affected, and many directors will eventually leave. This is also the relationship between him and his own theater, otherwise if there is no theater, if people are stuck with his film, and if he doesn't give him a movie, his trick will not only have no effect, but he will be asking for his own death.
