Among the male actors in Hong Kong, there is indeed no one more hanging, even if Cheng Long, Li Lianjie, and their salaries in Hollywood are nearly twice as high as him, they dare not say that they are more hangings than him (diao read the third tone)! If it weren't for the damn racism, even the little golden man could grab the master, who would dare to disagree with the Grand Slam at the three major European film festivals, and the United States could win the Golden Globe Award? Even Tom? Hanks won two Oscars, and privately admitted that Fa Ge's performance in "Shawshank" has become an unsurpassed miracle.

However, some people are still unconvinced by a genius who hangs like this, and Fa Ge actually admits that he hangs like himself, that is, Jiang Wen, who is as talented as him. This guy can not only act, but also direct, five years ago in Venice, he won the Golden Lion Award and Best Actor with just one debut film "Sunny Day". Although there is a reason for the behind-the-scenes public relations of the light and shadow company, it is just because someone can win two awards, and it is the first time to direct, which also convinces Fa Ge.

This year, this guy got rid of the company's supervision and invested in the filming of "The Devil is Coming", which was sent to Hong Kong to finish the post-production, and Wang Fatzi was so shocked that he sent someone to the United States overnight to deliver the copy. After reading it, the inexplicable Sun Ziming could only sigh to the sky, a genius is a genius after all, and his courage alone is not as good as himself!

As soon as these two appeared, Wu Zhenyu and Liu Qingyun, who could still have a sense of zài just now, completely became passers-by, and hurriedly went outside to Zhang Luo tea and became big-name waiters.

Sun Ziming also got up and hugged and shook hands with the two, and then mocked: "Are you ready to go bankrupt?" ”

"What?"

"The ban on "The Devil is Coming" is ironclad, and your more than 10 million is considered to be lost. You say you don't go bankrupt, who else will? ”

Jiang Wen, who was still smiling just now, changed his face greatly, and hurriedly looked at Wang Fatzi, who was smiling like a Maitreya Buddha. The cinema chain is relatively independent, Sun Ziming will not interfere, only this fat man will occasionally stretch out his hand, so that the cinema chain will arrange films in a tendentious manner to hit competitors. I usually don't treat this dead fat man very much, shouldn't he take the opportunity to retaliate?

"Don't look at me, the theater chain has already watched the film, and at most it will be screened in two art theaters, and the box office will definitely be super low. Taiwan and Southeast Asia even refused to release it, so I can't force an order, right? Besides, Taiwan's Electricity Inspection Office has made it clear that they will ban the release of films like this that smear the Anti-Japanese War. ”

Wang Fatzi pushed two, five or six, and Jiang Wen hurriedly looked at Sun Ziming. The script of "The Devil is Coming" was killed by the company, and it was his decision to not be convinced by the company, not only smashed into his entire net worth, but also pulled 18 million investments, if it really can't be released, he will really go bankrupt!

"Don't look at me, the two art theaters were released, and Brother Jing forcibly let them be released on the grounds of respecting art. Otherwise, no theater would want to release it at all! ”

This ending, Sun Ziming is also very helpless, although he admires "The Devil is Coming", but the rules are the rules. I have formulated the relatively independent rules of the theater, and I have to take the lead in abiding by them, and even the small actions of Wang Fatzi will only hint at never knowing it, let alone myself?

Fa Ge Dale next to him said happily: "I said it a long time ago, if you don't have such a big head, don't do such a big thing!" If Ziming comes to shoot that film, it will ensure that the green light will be given all the way, and no one will dare to fart, what are you? ”

What is this called? Sun Ziming glared angrily, this bastard who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, and scolded: "Shut up! What's the matter with you? Director Li: Is the filming finished? ”

Others are a little scared of Sun Ziming's anger, but Fa Ge is not afraid, the two are used to scolding each other on the set.

"What did I say wrong?"

"I mean, how did you get back? I don't know if I'm waiting for your schedule? ”

"Oh, that's it. That Zhang Ziyi is injured and has to rest for two weeks, so I will have two rival plays, so I will accompany this kid back. ”

mentioned that he was participating in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Fa Ge was full of praise for Li Yu, "Ziming, no wonder you respect Director Li so much."

Hang, more than you! You are on the set, either scolding this or that, people are convincing with reason, and every sentence makes you speechless! ”

Sun Ziming was also about to divert the topic, and said with a smile: "When did I say that I was more hanged than him?" Just your broken mouth, you just want me to be unconvinced, and say two bad things about others, so that I can be my handle in my hand.

Keep your dog's eyes open and see, am I that stupid? ”

The fun-loving Fa Ge really used his fingers to prop up his eyes wide, looked at Sun Ziming, and said helplessly: "You are indeed a smart person, not like some people who are so stupid that they have a long head and a butt!" ”

This guy still has to sprinkle salt on other people's wounds, and Sun Ziming doesn't want to play a round anymore, the opposite of heroes is that heroes are light, and there is an actor's way of communicating between them.

With this few minutes of buffer, Jiang Wen, who is not good at managing money, also adjusted his feelings, although more than 10 million yuan is all his belongings, as long as he can act, he will be able to earn it back sooner or later.

"Hey, Ziming, how about my salary converted into an investment?"

Before Sun Ziming could answer, Wang Fatzi next to him shook his head and said: "This is not in accordance with the rules, the actor's contract has been transferred to the brokerage company." According to the company's new regulations, there are calculation formulas and conditions for actors' remuneration and investment amounts, and you do not meet any preferential conditions. ”

"How am I not eligible? Was "Sunny Day" filmed for nothing? ”

Wang Fatzi finally caught the opportunity of a repairer, how could he let it go?

"Well, with an investment of 21 million, the box office in the mainland is 51 million, and the overseas box office is 31 million, and I have earned 37 million for the company. It is precisely because you made money for the company and won a prize in Venice that the company gave you a reward of 10 million, otherwise it would not have given you even a hair. ”

Jiang Wen's face fell, but Wang Fatzi still smiled and said, "Want to get angry?" You contributed to the company, and the company did not treat you badly, in addition to the 1 million director fee, it also rewarded you with an additional 10 million. You've only directed movies, not acted in movies for the company, so the preferential treatment of actors has nothing to do with you.

That's the way it is, one yard to one yard, and no one can say that they have great merit and fame, so they have to ask for extra care. ”

The word "take care of" was very harsh, and Jiang Wen, who was used to being proud, blushed and swallowed back the argument in his mouth.

Sun Ziming also looked away, without any intention of interceding. Wang Fatzi's disposal is a bit excessive, but it is also within his purview, and it is in line with the company's regulations. Besides, Jiang Wen's biggest problem is pride, which is domineering, he can make movies full of spirituality, shocking works that point to ugliness, but he can also make big bad movies that no one can understand.

Fa Ge, who has always been used to smiling in front of people, also put away his smile. Wang Fatzi's words were the words he wanted to warn his friends.

The articles of association of the company make it very clear that this is a commercial company and does not exclude everyone from making art films, but the premise is that it does not violate the established conventions and good customs. Even Hollywood emphasizes that the political environment is not as good as that of the United States? It's true that this friend of mine is a genius, but he doesn't know what to put in his head?

Now the domestic production cost is not high, no matter how big the loss is, he can still bear it. If the cost is hundreds of millions like Hollywood in the future, as long as he makes a banned movie, his directorial career will be ruined!

After being silent for a while, Jiang Wen said in a deep voice: "Then how will my salary be calculated?" ”

Wang Fatzi made a gesture to Liu Qingyun, who was serving the teacup for everyone, and the black boy hurriedly went outside to bring a form, and whispered: "According to the company's calculation method, referring to Mr. Jiang's previous box office results, the remuneration is 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars." ”

"What?"

Now not only Jiang Wen himself, but even Sun Ziming and Fa Ge looked at Liu Qingyun in shock, this kid won't see a zero, right?

Wang Fatzi said calmly: "Did you hear clearly? That's your market value! This is still based on the fact that you have starred in "The Year of Birth", "Red Sorghum", and the film has won international awards, so that it can be counted as 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars. Otherwise, according to the box office results of those movies, your box office value will be about 300,000 at most, while the fat boy is 36 million and the star boy is 41 million.

Don't be convinced, these formulas are based on Hollywood's methods. We are a commercial company, and we only use the number jù to speak, so Fa Tsai's reputation is much bigger than that of Xing Tsai, but the box office value of Chinese movies is five million less than his! ”

Still silent for a while, Jiang Wen's eyes were red, and he said word by word: "What about the artistic value?" ”

It may be that Sun Ziming's words yesterday stimulated Wang Fatzi, the usual slippery vice president, finally revealed his true side, and said cruelly and ruthlessly: "I'm sorry, we are a commercial organization, only chasing profits!" If you want to pursue art, then you can only find your own way, or apply for the company's art film fund, and make art films wholeheartedly, don't talk to me about investment, salary, box office share, company shares, etc., I only recognize the box office and the number of jù. ”

As soon as Wang Fatzi's words fell, the arrogant Jiang Wen was furious, but he yelled at Sun Ziming: "Sun Ziming, what do you mean? ”

Under a roar, the big office outside the door was silent, and the grandson who carried the black pot for Wang Fatzi smiled bitterly, he saw the treacherous of this slippery head today! Obviously, he wanted to establish his authority, but he let himself be tied up and suffered from this unwarranted disaster.

Fortunately, the big guys will have loyal little brothers, and Wu Yijiang, who was still greeting Jiang Wen just now, was also furious, pointed at his nose and said, "What is it called?" Brother Ming, I'm sorry for you? If it weren't for my boss, you would be a mainland actor who earns tens of thousands of dollars a year, can you live in a mansion with tens of millions of dollars and drive a luxury car with millions in Kowloon Tong? ”

"You", Jiang Wengang wanted to scold back, but when he thought of the dividends he had received in the past few years and the gifts given to him by Sun Ziming, he was so suffocated that he had bruises on his neck.

"What are you? Didn't you just shoot "Sunny Day"? Ah Mou hangs a lot more than you, and when you see my bosses, they are all called Mr. Sun and Director Sun, why do you have a straight name?

If it weren't for Brother Ming's heavy attention to you, would it be your turn to be crazy? ”

For a while, Jiang Wen, who was embarrassed and indignant, couldn't go in or retreat, and couldn't wait to find a sewing out and get in.

Sun Ziming, who was in the interview room, finally began to be distressed, rubbing his swollen temples, worrying about how to clean up this mess.
