Hollywood's film financing is very interesting, it is divided into two models, one is called closed-eye investment, as long as it is a film shot by your company, investors will invest in it regardless of whether they win or lose; The other is to open your eyes and have a choice. This model seems to be more advantageous than the first one, but the first one has a huge advantage, that is, if you invest $1 million, you can take 2 million shares. This is a reward for you and the producer to share the risk and advance together.

However, these rules do not apply to light and shadow companies, everyone knows that the movies made by this company = high box office, and they are not bad for money! So when Tino helped Sun Ziming acquire the rights to adapt novels and comics, he used investing in his films as a bargaining chip; Tom? Cruise accepted the conditions of half cash remuneration and half investment, and participated in a series of films of the light and shadow company.

However, with the introduction of the new regulations of the actors' union, problems have also arisen. The acting agreement of a large number of stars led by Cheng Long and Fa Ge was transferred to the UTN brokerage company, and the shares of the brokerage company were transferred by Sun Ziming to Fa Ge, Morgan, and Li Zhi, which means that they no longer belong to the light and shadow company.

Now that everyone has no affiliation, the relationship between Light and Shadow and UTN is difficult to handle. After the new regulations, Sun Ziming's first film "The King of Killers" became the fuse for the two companies' filthyness.

In the past, Sun Ziming's movies would set aside a part of the investment amount for stars, such as "Shawshank" and "Jurassic Park", which made the stars make a lot of money. Fa Ge made no less than 20 million dollars because of "Shawshank", and Morgan and they also made millions because of "Jurassic Park".

Now filming "The King of Killers", Tom? Cruise had an agreement before, and so did Li Lianjie, but the supporting actors made it difficult for the company. Giving means that the company has also given remuneration in addition to remuneration; If you don't give it, the salary will be converted into an investment, which is the first thing that the light and shadow company has done.

If it is the previous light and shadow, the shareholders are Sun Ziming and Jiang Peng, and it is easy to say anything, and the Chinese are originally concerned about human favors and face. Now it's different, Chris? Columbus, George, James? Cameron and they are all authentic Americans, Sun Ziming can't ignore their interests, the big shareholders bully the small shareholders, he can't do it, it will split the inside.

Even if Sun Ziming wants to allocate a part of the investment amount from his studio, this will not work. Like Chris? Columbus said, 'Boss, you did this, what are we going to do?' ’

Sun Tzu Ming writes scripts and makes films very fast, he doesn't care about that little profit, and he doesn't make a lot of money from this, everyone else lives on movies. "My Fair Daddy" took Chris three years from idea to writing the script, why should he share his money with others?

If that person is from the company, then it will be recognized, who made the light and shadow this atmosphere from the beginning, and everyone enjoys the friendship that comes out of fighting together. But the problem is that now those people are no longer a company, and everyone is not a boat, so naturally it is impossible to take care of each other anymore.

And with Jill, James? Cameron and the others joined the company, and even the rewards for the crew after the success of the future film were rejected by them. The reason is the same, there is nothing to say about the company's internal rewards, how to stipulate it before, according to the regulations. But if you are from a foreign company, your own company invites them, and it is not that you don't pay enough salary! That's it, Cameron who plays the female villain? Diaz lost her share of the investment, so angry that she went to another major shareholder, Li Zhi, to complain.

Li Zhi herself is not easy to come forward, but she, the major shareholder, does not need to squeak, and Brian, the general manager of UTN, also immediately ran to Light and Shadow to find Chris, the vice president of production? Columbus reckoned with the score. The light and shadow company can have today, and the actors have also made a contribution, why do they turn their faces and don't recognize people now?

Chris? Columbus himself felt embarrassed and made an excuse for Jill to deal with it, but the woman stubbornly pushed back, "If it weren't for the boss, they wouldn't even be a third-rate Hollywood star." Now that the boss has given them UTN, isn't that enough? ’

'Ok, Cameron? Miss Diaz's salary rises to 5 million, plus a 5% share of the box office! ’

Jill was happy and said disdainfully: "Don't come to this set, her film contract was ordered two years ago, and you have no right to put forward additional conditions!" ”

Brian also threatened: "You don't come to this set either, their film contract is only limited to the "Thunderbolt Angel" series!" Hmph, in Hollywood, can you still find actors like them? ”

"Cut, it's a big deal that we revise the script and don't need your actors!"

"Joke, can you call the shots for the boss?"

The dispute between the two finally reached Sun Ziming, and he was so angry that he was busy with the post-production of Zuò, and he scolded, "Get out!" These things still bother me, the company has paid you for nothing? ”

Under the prestige, Brian thought that he was still the manager of the artist department, so he had to leave in disgrace, and Jill returned to the company triumphantly.

Cal? Molden and Jason's two guys are poisonous, and a simple rule has changed the relationship between the two companies from a close partner to a business.

……

However, Jill didn't stay complacent for long, because Richie made a move. After the depressed Brian returned to the company, Li Zhi had no choice but to call Sun Ziming by herself and ask to follow the previous regulations, at least those who were separated from the light and shadow company should enjoy the previous treatment.

"Ziming, those people are your subordinates, and we used to be your subordinates, so we can't be too favoritistic, right?"

Sun Ziming, who is very busy, can scold Jill and Brian for being a bloody woman, and he can't open his mouth to scold himself no matter what. After thinking for a while, Sun Ziming held the microphone in his hand and instructed Douglas next to him: "Doug, Cameron? Diaz has 1 million cash and 1 million investment, she is the company's veteran, and she can't do it according to the company's resolution. Tell everyone that those who enjoy this treatment in the future are limited to those who were previously assigned by the company. I still say the same thing, everyone and everything must be fair, Cameron and they have contributed to the company, and the 50 million dollars are just what they deserve. Could it be that in the future, when the company goes public, they can still come back to get future stocks? For the rest of the people, you go and explain to them that the voting system of light and shadow is based on the number of people, and I have to obey everyone's decision. ”

"Yes, sir", Douglas agreed with a smile and turned to go out to do something.

There were also cheers in the microphone, and Sun Ziming shook his head helplessly and hung up the phone. In fact, the thoughts of these people, Sun Ziming's heart is like a mirror.

The guys in the company know that they miss the old days, and sooner or later they will give preferential treatment to Cheng Long and their gang, and the reason why they oppose it is that they don't want to join the UTN company later, and they also enjoy this kind of preferential treatment, and the investment amount of the light and shadow company means that they will not lose money!

……

When the next day started, I worshipped God for the first time. In addition to the technical workers, the martial artists are all from Hong Kong, and there are too many dangerous scenes. Cruise: They all followed the white cross.

After the incense, Sun Ziming tore off the red cloth on the camera and said loudly: "Turn on the camera!" ”

"It's good to go!"

The people from Hong Kong roared in unison, Liu Weiqiang began to direct everyone to be busy, only Cameron was still like he had just met before, kissed him heavily on the face, and said with a smile: "Boss, you are too good to us!" ”

Sun Ziming was also accustomed to the style of this ghost girl, wiped the red lip prints on his face, and scolded with a smile: "Hurry up and get out, there is no camera of you today!" Drew, why are you here too? ”

Drew next to him also came over and hugged Sun Ziming and kissed him, "We don't have a film appointment on hand, so we will stay on the set and play." Thank you, Boss. ”

"Don't be angry, do you?"

Drew blushed and quickly shook his head. At the beginning, she didn't sign a long-term contract with Light and Shadow, and went to CAA. Under the strength of CAA, her salary soared from 200,000 to 3 million US dollars, plus 2% of the box office share, becoming one of the highest-paid actresses in Hollywood. However, this year, in "One Hand to the Sky", she was not only reduced to a priest? Runger's ornaments have also become the absolute cannon fodder of "Daddy in the Hole"; 80 million production fees and 30 million publicity fees, but even 20 million box office did not get it, so Carlo Films directly filed for bankruptcy.

Sun Ziming patted Drew's little head and comforted: "It's okay, when filming "Thunderbolt Angel 2" next year, let Brian go to Jill to talk about the same treatment as Cameron." ”

"Thank you boss"

Drew breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, after a year outside, he could be regarded as tasting the snobbery and cruelty of the circle. When you first became popular, everyone surrounded you to say good things and smash a movie, and the salary fell directly from 3 million to 800,000, and you still couldn't get a film appointment.

"Brother Ming, it's OK!"

Sun Tzu couldn't talk anymore, and motioned to all departments to check again, and the first shot was highly dangerous. Li Lianjie has to jump from one building to another, although the drop is four or five meters, but the distance is also eleven meters, the slightest mistake is injured, or even killed! This is also Li Lianjie's first film from Hong Kong to Hollywood, and the salary is directly related to Tom? Cruise is a notch, and there is no reason for anyone to object. When people take this reward, they are fighting for their lives!

"Brother Jie, is there a problem?"

Li Lianjie smiled and said in a low voice: "No problem, this action looks scary, but in fact, it is not difficult at all, there is a gap between the two floors." When I was training in Hong Kong, I could jump more than 13 meters, so I just had to wait for the next beautiful shot! ”

"Okay, be careful!"

Sun Tzu clearly signaled the attention of all departments, and also got behind the monitor, and everyone stared at this little man, jumping eleven or twelve meters from a building more than fifty meters high, it was scary to think about!

"King of Killers, Scene 2, Article 4, Action"

The scene notes a board, Li Lianjie rushed out of the corridor, accelerated, accelerated, accelerated, and accelerated again, the face in the lens showed a hideous color, suddenly jumped hard, flew in the blue sky like a goshawk, and finally landed on the roof of the opposite building, rolled on the ground a few times to unload the impact, got up and ran to the opposite corridor like a cheetah, and disappeared in the camera frame.

"It's over!"

Sun Ziming jumped out from behind the monitor excitedly, and everyone cheered, this scene was so exciting, it was completely beyond their imagination!

Not long after, Li Lianjie came from the opposite upstairs, and his grandson saw that his face was no different, laughed and hugged him, "Brother Jie, you will be the top action star in Hollywood!" ”

Tom? Cruise also hugged his partner and adored: "Jay, you are the best, Superman is fake, Rocky is also fake, you are real!" ”

"Brother Jie, take a break, we'll shoot the second one later."

"Ok", Li Lianjie took the mineral water, drank a small half, sat down in the shade to close his eyes and recuperate, and Yuan Heping also blasted away the people who wanted to go up. To do thrilling actions, you need to be calm in order to avoid accidents to the greatest extent.
