Chapter 182: Looking to the Future
Zhao Dang, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, was loyal to Emperor Jianwen and conspired against Xia Xun, and finally the conspiracy was defeated and killed. This is a villain role, a small supporting role of the villain, and there are not many scenes, but there are good rivalry scenes with several protagonists.
Xu Hao flipped through the script and summarized the role of Zhao Dang he played, while suppressing the excitement in his heart.
used to fantasize every day that he would play a role and then start a career as a star. When I really received the role, I still felt a huge sense of happiness, washing over my limbs. The dream is approaching step by step, the persistence of these three months is right, I can really make a difference on the road of acting!
"I, Xu Hao, will definitely not be a dead runner, I will become a star who attracts the attention of the world! Definitely! ”
At this moment, Xu Hao's mood is really like a turbulent wave, he wants to try to calm down this excitement, but he is even more excited, holding the hand of the script, holding the corner of the script tightly, and the knuckles of his thumb are clenched white.
The script, which was understandable at first, is now completely garbled.
He understood every word on it, but when they were connected, he was completely confused, and he didn't have the heart to understand the meaning of the sentence.
People who have not run for three months will never have this irrepressible experience. Just like ordinary people don't understand the value of lifebuoys, drowning people can understand how much a lifebuoy means to themselves.
After a while, Xu Hao gradually calmed down.
How can I say that I am also an actor, and I must learn to adjust my feelings all the time.
From eight o'clock to the audition, it's eleven o'clock now. The three-hour audition seemed like a long day for Xu Hao. The computer keyboard in the room rattled, and then it was the turn of the printer, which buzzed. Every time you start it, it means that a contract is printed.
Buzz!
Another contract was printed out, Director Xin took the contract, glanced at the header bar, and shouted: "Xu Hao, your contract." ”
Xu Hao walked over quickly. Took the contract: "Thank you, Director Xin." ”
"Let me tell you, the signatures are here, here, this, and this, remember them all."
"I remember."
"Be sure to sign it and give it to me by tomorrow afternoon, okay."
"Okay."
"Then you can go back now."
"Okay, thank you Director Xin." Xu Hao held both the contract and the script in his hands. Step away.
Before he went out, Zhang Feng followed: "Xiao Xu is good, you got the role, the first time?" ”
"Yes, it's the first time I got the role, Brother Feng, I'll continue tomorrow's special appointment, right?" Xu Hao considered a problem, he has already received tomorrow's special notice. Although I have received a small role now, the small role is not filmed now. So he didn't want to give up tomorrow's special contract.
It would be nice to make a little bit of money, and anyway, it would be nice to have time to hand in the contract before the afternoon. If he hadn't been a little reserved, Xu Hao wouldn't have looked at it at all, and signed it directly in the room. Xu Hao can trust a big crew like "Brocade Clothes Daytime", if such a crew will set traps. Then he didn't have anything to say.
"Aren't you going to play tomorrow morning, just one, I guess you won't finish filming at noon, don't delay things." Zhang Feng didn't take the special contract seriously, and easily drew Xu Hao's contract. Flip it open and look at it, "Yo, that's good, three thousand five episodes per episode, five episodes are expected to be filmed, seventeen thousand five." ”
When Zhang Feng spoke, his eyes lit up.
"Yes, Brother Feng asked me to take a good look." Xu Hao couldn't wait to get the contract back.
……
This contract is not quite the same as the contract format of the MV "Memories of Love" signed by Xu Hao before, they are all "Actor Contracts", and the letterhead is also written on the film crew of Party A's "Brocade Clothes Daytime", and Party B Xu Hao.
Then there is a sentence in the outline: "Due to the needs of filming, Party A hired Party B to play Zhao Dang in the film crew of "Jinyi Daywalk" (hereinafter referred to as "the film"); ”
There are 11 provisions that need to be complied with, namely, the commitment of both parties, the employment position and requirements, the employment period, the standard and content of remuneration, the rights and obligations of Party A, the rights and obligations of Party B, the liability for breach of contract, the confidentiality clause, force majeure, dispute resolution, and the final supplementary provisions.
Among them, Xu Hao is most concerned about two points, the term of employment and the payment of honorarium.
The employment period is from July 7, 2015 to July 15, 2015, a total of 9 days, depending on the shooting task, the date can be extended as appropriate. The remuneration is calculated according to the number of episodes played, with a total of five episodes, 3,500 yuan per episode, and a total of 17,500 yuan.
The payment method is like this, after the contract is signed, 20% of the total amount, that is, 3500 yuan is paid as a deposit, and then after the shooting is completed, the remaining 80& honorarium is paid.
"17,500 yuan, nine days of shooting, more than 1,900 yuan a day!" Looking at the amount of honorarium, Xu Hao's eyes were slightly red, and being an actor was much faster than running tricks to get money.
Although Da Tee also has a thousand of this kind one day, Da Teh is hard to find after all, and there is no tomorrow after shooting today. After all, it is still to make money by taking on small roles, and it is 17,500 yuan in nine days, which is the top of his previous special contract for one or two months.
"This is just a small role, if you play the leading role, don't make money too easily!"
The honorarium did shake Xu Hao's eyes, but he quickly thought of another question, whether he should go up and down when he got this honorarium. Knowing that he was specially asked by Director Liang to audition, it stands to reason that Director Liang should be given a kickback, but it is obvious that Director Liang will not care about a small role at all.
Xu Hao looked at Zhang Feng who was following him with his spare eyes, and his mind was full of thoughts.
Today's role, Zhang Feng's help is not much, but it has more or less something to do with him, if it weren't for Zhang Feng's special invitation, Xu Hao would never have had the opportunity to show in front of Director Liang.
"Zhang Feng seems to definitely have to spend money to fill him, but there is also a Director Xin, it seems that Director Xin is the casting director of the crew management role, so if you want to give gifts and money to Director Xin?" Xu Hao was a little uncertain, of course he didn't want to give money to Director Xin, after all, this role had nothing to do with Director Xin.
But the twists and turns of the crew, how can you use a sentence that it doesn't matter, you can make it clear.
Seeing that there was no one left and right, Xu Hao squinted his eyes, and suddenly said to Zhang Feng: "Brother Feng, thank you today, when I get the money, there will definitely be a share of Brother Feng." ”
Zhang Feng smiled at the corner of his mouth, and said, "I didn't help much." ”
"Brother Feng, you know, I really thank you, in fact, I still have one more thing I want to ask you, so that you can help me make a decision."
"Just say it." Zhang Feng patted his chest and promised.
"That's right, Brother Feng, you see, brother, I am very happy to receive this role. However, I am a newcomer, and it is my first time receiving the role, so I don't know much about some things. Saying that, Xu Hao approached Zhang Feng's ear, "Brother Feng, do you mean, do you want to do it to Dao Xin?" ”
"Xin Weimin." Zhang Feng was a little hesitant in his expression, "This, depending on your own meaning, is more or less to show that he is very greedy." ”
"And how much do I mean?" Xu Hao then asked.
"This ...... It's up to you. ”
"Brother Feng, can you help me refer to it, I'm a newcomer, I don't understand" Xu Hao said very sincerely.
Zhang Feng's eyes flickered, as if he was considering whether he should take the initiative to raise this standard. However, seeing Xu Hao's young and unexpected face, Zhang Feng felt that he was too sensitive, Xu Hao was indeed a newcomer, he didn't mention him, the ghost knows how much this kid gave, in case he gave a few hundred yuan, wouldn't that be a call for Huazi.
Thinking of this, Zhang Feng smiled and said casually: "Logically speaking, it is generally two percent, but your situation is a little special, you can send two components to Director Xin, I don't need it." ”
"Twenty percent!"
Xu Hao's eyes narrowed unnaturally, and he made a sudden look on his face: "Oh, okay, I know, you and Director Xin, I will give you two percent." ”
"Didn't I say it, I won't need it."
"I thank Brother Feng for it." Xu Hao couldn't help but say that he set the share of the rebate.
Give 20% to Director Xin, 20% to Zhang Feng, and give out 40% at one time, 7,500 yuan, and Xu Hao only has 10,000 yuan left.
When Zhang Feng heard Xu Hao's assurance, he smiled in the corner of his eyes at that time, and when he spoke to Xu Hao again, his tone was several times more affectionate than before, as if Xu Hao was his own brother.
……
After separating from Zhang Feng, on the way back, Xu Hao felt uncomfortable for a while, this Zhang Feng said that Director Xin was too greedy, how could he not be too greedy.
"The opening is forty percent, it's like drinking my blood!"
Xu Hao gritted his teeth a little, Zhang Feng said that he should give Director Xin a rebate of 20%, saying that he didn't want it himself, but how could Xu Hao not give it, how could he give it lower than Director Xin's. In other words, Zhang Feng bit off forty percent of Xu Hao's remuneration with one mouth.
The rules in the industry are 20% true, but it is a single person who eats kickbacks, and the actors themselves can always have 80% left to live. How can there be a reason to give two assistant directors a kickback, even if they eat together, one person can do one percent, and if you open your mouth, you will be two percent, too greedy!
"Zhang Feng seems to be a special manager, and I am now playing the role...... Looking for an opportunity to go online with Director Xin, this Zhang Feng is too greedy...... There's no need to talk to him, there are many assistant directors in Hengdian! ”
Xu Hao thought about it in his heart, and soon had a plan.
The evening breeze blows, and there is a chill.
Xu Hao shook his head, trying to get the dirty things out of his mind, he didn't want to fall into this kind of fly camp dog. Eating and taking cards is just a means, being able to act is the result he wants most, as long as he can act and climb up, Xu Hao actually doesn't care about his own losses.
The old man often said that suffering a loss is a blessing, and this is not the truth of being a man.
Xu Hao's vision is on the future, not on the present!
I looked at the script and contract in my hand, and I was full of pride.
"After signing this contract, I will say goodbye!" (To be continued......)
