Chapter 496: Those who go along with it prosper, and those who go against it abandon
Malibu is located in western Los Angeles County, with the Santa Monica Mountains to the south and the Pacific Ocean to the north. Historically it was the territory of the indigenous Chumash tribe, and the Malibu Indian word means "roaring beach". It is best known for its warm sandy beaches, which have been the filming location of several American movies since the 50s.
The winter sun is warm, and Chris Columbus sits in his garden, listening to the sound of the waves in the distance, basking in the sun. Since he made two big bucks directing "AloneHome 2 & 3", he spent six million dollars here to buy a big mansion and fulfill his dream of living in Malibu Beach.
Sabrina, who was sitting behind Chris, was a little worried. According to the inside information of Miss Crowe, the assistant of the Big Boss, the director of "Breaking Bad 2" is most likely Kenny Ott, not his own boss. Being an assistant is like this, and the status of your boss in the company is the guarantee of your status.
"Boss, aren't you worried at all?"
Chris didn't want to open his eyes, he just felt that the red light in his eyes was very beautiful, "No, I'm satisfied with my current life." ”
Sabrina's words a few days ago touched Chris, but it was only touching. He still remembers what Sun Ziming said to him, 'Chris, you are a genius, believe me, you will become a big Hollywood director!' ’
Just as Chris was warm and drowsy, there was a roar of motors, and a brand new white Maserati drove into the yard, a beautiful drift, and stopped in front of the garage with a 'squeak'.
"Claudia? What are you doing here? ”
Claudia, who was dressed in a white Chanel OL suit, held a Wen Jiàn clip in her hand, and walked towards Chris, "Come and see you, by the way, I have something to do with you, are you okay?" ”
"It's not bad, it's just too boring."
By the time Claudia walked up to Chris, Sabrina had already brought a chair from the room and brought the freshly brewed instant coffee, "Miss Claudia, why don't you make a phone call when you come, or I'll go to the café outside to help you prepare a cappuccino." ”
"Thanks, that's fine."
Claudia took a sip elegantly and put it on the small coffee table next to her, don't look at her as docile as a cat in front of Sun Ziming, but she is a big man in front of Sabrina.
"Chris, the boss is on set, I don't have time to come to you. I have been entrusted by him to seek your advice on a number of matters. ”
Chris knew that Sun Ziming was busy filming "Breaking Bad", and it was unlikely that he would drive nearly two hours to come here, so he hurriedly said, "What's the matter?" You please say".
The first thing is to give Chris 1% of the shares, "Boss knows that you have bought a house, and you may be nervous on hand, so your share will be deducted from the dividends of the film in the future, and the interest will be calculated according to the bank interest, do you have any opinions?" ”
Yes? Although he had been mentally prepared, at this moment, Chris still felt ecstatic in his heart, and said a little incoherently excitedly: "Thank you boss, thank you boss, I will work hard and repay the company well." ”
"Chris, the boss said you deserve it, let's talk about helping you set up your own studio."
Kgongdia repeated the company rules, "Chris, do you have any comments? ”
Chris hurriedly said: "No, just follow the company's regulations." ”
"OK", Claudia took out a handwritten letter from Wen Jiàn's folder, handed it over, and said in a low voice: "The boss has another thing I want to ask for your opinion, this is his handwritten letter." ”
Chris opened it and saw that it was what Sabrina had told him a few days ago, and his grandson wanted Kenny Ott to take over the directing of the sequel to "Breaking Bad" in the future.
‘…… Chris, you're a comedy movie genius. I think you'd better take the comedy path first and then consider other film genres......
Chris sighed inwardly, the director of the sequel to "Breaking Bad" flew, but the boss was right. I have considerable experience in making comedy films, action movies are a relatively unfamiliar field, and taking over the director of the sequel to "Breaking Bad" can be a huge risk.
Kenny Ott is different, he used to be an assistant director of Stallone and has considerable experience in action movies. If he directs the sequel to "Breaking Bad", he will be quite sure.
And although he is known as a great director, everyone knows that he is stained with the light of the boss. If you really want to become a big director, you must make a few good movies completely independently in order to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood, and comedy movies are what you are most sure of.
"Claudia, thank you for the boss's reminder for me, and I'll do what he suggests."
Seeing that he had no opinion, Claudia handed over the text folder, "OK, please sign the share transfer agreement and the studio investment agreement." ”
Sabrina, who had been standing next to her, watched excitedly as Chris signed, she became a shareholder and assistant to the boss of the film studio, and her salary would increase significantly!
After Chris finished signing, Claudia took the text and said with a smile: "Chris, tomorrow at six o'clock in the evening, the boss will hold a party for the end of the filming of "Thunderbolt Angel", arrive early." ”
"OK, we'll be here tomorrow at half past five."
"Then I'll go first, see you tomorrow."
"See you tomorrow"
When Claudia drove Sun Ziming's Maserati sports car all the way to the set, Sun Ziming and they just finished filming the last shot, "It's over, it's finished!" ”
'Yay! The crew cheered and began to excitedly pack up their things and get ready to get off work, and after more than two months of busyness, they could finally have a leisurely long vacation.
"Ah Zhi, come here."
Li Zhi, who was about to remove her makeup, hurriedly trotted over, "Director, is there something wrong with you?" ”
"Sit"
Li Zhi took a rare look at the stool, and then looked at her short skirt, Sun Ziming suddenly realized, and hurriedly let go of the high chair under his buttocks and sat on the low stool by himself.
As soon as Sun Ziming sat down, he happened to see a touch of lotus spring between Li Zhi's white thighs, and swallowed. Seeing that her grandson's throat moved, Li Zhi glanced at him and scolded in a low voice, "You are still really a wolf who can't be fed, go find your ghost sister, don't bother me." ”
"Hehe, only tired cows, and ploughed land? Hey, let's get down to business, what about the things you want to inquire about? ”
"Hooligans!"
The two of them laughed as usual, and Li Zhi said in a low voice: "Cameron is willing, she has been in contact with you for a long time, and she knows that the company will not treat her badly." Drew is unwilling, I guess she wants to negotiate terms with the company if she can become popular after filming these three films. ”
Sun Tzuming did not dislike Drew's approach, everyone is free and has the right to seek greater benefits for themselves. It's just that from the perspective of the company's boss, Sun Ziming doesn't want to raise the actor's salary too quickly.
"You talk to them again, Chris Swift has already got the investment rights in Rush Hour 2. If they are willing to sign a three-part agreement, they can also refer to this treatment. Forget it, you call Drew over and I'll talk to her. ”
Li Zhi hesitated and said in a low voice: "You better talk to Cameron first, it's more appropriate, what do you think?" ”
"You're really a good helper", Sun Ziming laughed and asked her to call Cameron over.
This extra, who was originally in "Rush Hour", heard Sun Ziming's arrangement, and jumped on him excitedly, kissed him on the face, and shouted: "Ming, you are really an angel, I can't help but fall in love with you!" ”
Sun Ziming pushed the girl away, wiped the lipstick on his face, and scolded with a smile: "Get out, go and call Drew for me." ”
"Hey"
Cameron jumped up and down excitedly, just like he had been three years ago, innocent and lovely.
Drew is an actor that Chris hired from acting school, young and beautiful, with a hot body, in American terms, this is an extremely hot chick, and her personality is as hot as her appearance.
"Director, I won't renew my contract, I have taken on three "Thunderbolt Angels" at a low price, I already regret it very much!"
Sun Ziming looked at Drew a little strangely, how did this girl have a long brain? If there is no company to excavate, she will not even have a chance to play tricks now, she is right to fight for her own interests, but she has to have a little gratitude.
Of course, Sun Ziming won't say these words, he is no longer a small director, but the owner of a film company, "OK, when I haven't said it, I will let people contact your agent." ”
"No, I don't have an agent, you can just talk to me. I asked for the fourth film to go up to $3 million, plus a 2% share of the box office. ”
Sun Tzu is happy, now Tom Cruise's salary is only 7.8 million, she has no fame, and she dares to ask for 3 million plus box office share?
Claudia next to her also felt that this kid was too weird, and reminded: "Drew, you are not popular yet." Nicole Kidman is such a popular actress, and her current salary is only $1.6 million, and she has no box office share. Chris Swift and Jack Chen's "Rush Hour" set a box office record of 270 million, and the sequel was only paid 2 million, and no box office share was requested. Drew, the boss lets you participate in the investment of the sequel film, which is very generous! ”
Drew shrugged his shoulders and said in a fierce tone: "Claudia, I will be popular, and I will become a superstar, if Ming is not quite sure, he will not talk to me about a contract extension." Nicole Kidman can only act in literary films, I am acting in action movies, the danger is so high, can't I ask for a higher salary than her? As for Chris, he is a who came out of the slums and didn't even finish middle school, Ming gave him a salary of two million, and he was so happy that he only regarded Ming as God. I'm different, I know my worth. ”
Black person? Sun Ziming smiled mockingly and took the initiative to reach out his hand, "Drew, I wish you all the best in your future acting career." ”
"Huh?" Drew was stunned, and only went to shake hands with Sun Ziming for a while, and said in a panic: "Thank you"
The panic on Drew's face fell into Claudia's eyes, and she couldn't help but laugh secretly, you are very smart but you think too highly of yourself. Stars are popular by people, and those who are not praised by others are not called stars, they are called actors!
Sun Ziming turned around and left the set, and after getting into the car, he instructed: "Inform the public relations department that Drew's publicity plan is canceled and increase the funds to promote her to the promotional video." ”
"Boss, do you want to notify the screenwriting department and modify her role?"
Sun Ziming glared at her, remembered the promise to Karen Mutt, and hesitated: "Let her hang up in the third part and add a new character to replace her." In addition, if the film does well at the box office, give Zhi and Cameron compensation according to Chris's standard, and her will be given one, no, 1/4. After filming these three films, let her go to God and worship Buddha by herself. ”
"OK, boss, Tom and Nicole, they're calling, and they can't join our party because of something, I think they did it on purpose."
Sun Ziming's face is a little unsightly, those celebrity neighbors have a party, and they will participate when they receive a call, and it's their turn to do it?
"Acquire the film adaptation rights of works such as "Mission Impossible" at any cost!"
“OK”
