When an artist changes his agent, it is not an ordinary employee who changes jobs.

It needs to be carefully chosen!

The height of an artist is closely related to the ability of the agent behind him.

A good agent can turn an artist from a nobody to a superstar. But at the same time, the extremely close connection between the artist and the agent, and the agent's in-depth understanding of his own artist, often develops a friendship outside of work.

Xiaobai is of course an artist, and his external image, that is, the legendary character, is almost manipulated by Chen Baolian.

Talented, young, and now with a full sense of justice...

This character is very good, at least in today's era of 'foodies', 'girly', and 'honest' people running all over the place, it's still quite unusual!

Pingping perfectly inherited some of Chen Baolian's methods.

The most important thing is that Xiaobai doesn't need to grab resources with others like other artists, he is already very good!

From a novice's point of view, the agent he needs is the kind of person who won't force him to pick up a bunch of messy activities or drinking parties or the like.

In short, Xiaobai is quite satisfied with Pingping...

Chen Baolian is also very satisfied with her.

"In fact, this kind of negotiation is very simple to deal with, no matter what the other party says, as long as we stick to the bottom line of 25% and do not let go, they can't do anything..."

“… But what if they don't invest? ”

"How is that possible? This is Bai Xiaofei's movie, and there is still a lack of investment? It's nice to take them to play! ”

Glancing at the thoughtful Pingping, Chen Baolian smiled: "Remember, it was we who chose them, not them!" ”

“… I read the script, and to be honest, if we didn't owe Yongsheng a favor, I wouldn't have worked with them at all! ”

"Is the script good?"

"Anyway, it's no problem to pass 500 million!"

……

"Our conditions are not high."

In the face of a bunch of Yongsheng executives, Chen Baolian doesn't seem to have the slightest pressure, even if there is a big man like Li Shufu among them, she still talks eloquently: "Bai Xiaofei's director and screenwriter are paid a total of 20 million yuan, and at the same time enjoy 10% of the box office share of the film!" ”

looked at the faces of everyone opposite, and continued: "Bai Xiaofei's studio owns at least one-third of the investment amount of the film, and enjoys the same proportion of revenue sharing..."

As Chen Baolian said one negotiation condition after another, the faces of the people opposite became more and more solemn.

it!

Ten percent or one-third, so how can Yongsheng make money?

Earn a shout?

Of course, this is only Che Baolian's initial request, both sides are testing each other's bottom line, and the negotiations only lasted half an hour, and they broke up unhappily.

Whether it is Chen Baolian or several executives of Yongsheng, they are not very satisfied with each other.

Yongsheng is willing to provide Bai Xiaofei with a step-by-step sharing contract, of course, only for himself!

Getting a share of the box office is not an easy thing for any director.

All companies are the same, they are vampires, and if there is not enough profit as a guarantee, where will they easily let go.

According to the tiered sharing agreement, Xiaobai will be paid in the form of "advance payment + box office revenue sharing", and he can get an advance payment of 5 million in the early stage, and then get it according to the box office income of the film.

With a box office of over 100 million yuan as the basic point of sharing, the advertising placement income of "Riding the Wind and Waves" reached 40 million, and the actual production cost was less than 30 million...

As long as the box office exceeds 100 million, as a director, Xiaobai can get the most basic salary of 15 million.

If it exceeds 200 million, there will be a one-percent share of the box office;

500 million, 5 percent;

10 percent for 1 billion;

1.2 billion, 12 percent, which is also the highest share ratio.

It's about the same as "Knocking on Heaven's Door".

But there is one point, they are unwilling to accept the investment of Bai Xiaofei's studio, not a single one!

It's not that I don't like the other party's money is not clean or what, the main thing is that I don't want to share the benefits...

Everyone knows that "Riding the Wind and Waves" may be a big hit, and in this case, every penny may bring several times the profit!

In this case, let alone Bai Xiaofei's studio, even if the Film Bureau wants to intervene, it is impossible!

To try to take something out of the mouth of the capitalists is simply delusional!

……

After the negotiations, a group of high-level executives entered Gu Nianxi's office to discuss a bunch of conditions put forward by Chen Baolian just now.

After listening to it for a long time, she never heard a nutritious topic, Gu Nianxi knocked on the table, and only after everyone was quiet did she speak: "Mr. Li, what do you think?" ”

Li Shufu looked at the secretary standing next to him, who hurriedly stepped forward: "The script of "Riding the Wind and Waves", our script review department has read it, and the probability of making a profit is very high. ”

Looking at the group of executives around him, he continued: "This script inherits the humorous style of "Knocking on the Door of Heaven" to a certain extent, but it is a little broader in the selection of topics, and the themes of family and friendship are more acceptable to the public..."

"Another point, although Bai Xiaofei's directorial career has just begun, it is obviously on the rise, and the works of directors in this period are often extremely valuable, and according to past experience, the possibility of his success is far greater than the possibility of failure."

"And he also chose Deng Chao, who is also quite accomplished in comedy, as the male lead, and in a certain way, he also ensured..."

"When did Deng Chao make achievements in comedy?"

It was Gu Nianxi's female secretary who spoke, and her expression was a little disdainful...

"Hehe, we admit that Deng Chao's comedy reputation is not good, but the box office is very good, which means that his appeal in this area is enough! We are selling movies, not judges, and the movie has a bad reputation, what does it have to do with us? As long as it sells well, it's fine! ”

Li Shufu took over the topic.

"So, this film is likely to be profitable!"

Gu Nianxi interrupted the discussion of several people and concluded.

"Yes, and according to the prediction of our marketing department, the probability of breaking 500 million at the box office is as high as six layers!"

"Five hundred million, although it is a big number, is nothing to Yongsheng."

Gu Nianxi smiled a little disdainfully, and changed his words: "But when making movies, what we seek is to maximize profits!" Now someone wants to get in and take a third of it! ”

"I don't know what you guys think, but I definitely won't agree anyway!"

"However, their attitude is very resolute..."

"That's it, I'll go to find Chen Dong, of course, that's the last last resort... By the way, we can go directly to Bai Xiaofei and appropriately increase his director's salary. ”

Gu Nianxi didn't want to ask Chen Laoba to do anything, that would make her seem very incompetent...

"But, Mr. Gu, the director's salary we give is already the highest grade in the industry!"
