Chapter 502: Reprimand and beat
He Chuan thought about it, and he didn't hide it from him, anyway, the two of them were already in the same boat, and it would not be good for him now that Xu Jin left the company.
And if he didn't cover up Xu Jin, the company would soon find out that Xu Jinxin was not here for a long time, which was not a good thing for him.
"Even if I have been carrying you recently, the company has been dissatisfied with you for a long time.
Although you are a first-line star in the company and are very famous, the income you create for the company does not match your worth. For your worth, you can also create greater benefits. ”
Quite simply, it's a matter of money.
The company felt that Xu Jin had reached this point and could create more money, but Xu Jin was hindered by his own development requirements and did not follow the company's plan.
Xu Jin has too many ideas of his own, and the company will inevitably think more when it sees that this artist is disobedient.
In fact, there are already many high-level executives in Tangren Company who are dissatisfied with Xu Jin, but because Xu Jin is so famous, their dissatisfaction can only be suppressed in their hearts.
It's just that Xu Jin has been too disagreeable recently, saying that he wants to be an actor, but he doesn't see him filming well, and there are more and more dissatisfied voices from the company's senior management.
He Chuan said: "My suggestion is that you had better take on a film and television drama in the second half of the year, so that I can help you speak in front of the company's senior management, otherwise it will be difficult for me to do it." ”
His words were a little subtle, but he believed that Xu Jin could hear them.
Although there is still more than a year to terminate the contract, and Xu Jin has now become a first-line star, Tang Ren, a large company, can still provide him with many shelters.
If he could, Xu Jin didn't want to fall out with the company.
Isn't it great to sign happily when you sign a contract and leave calmly when you leave?
Shui Xu Jin said: "Brother He, tell me honestly, does the company want me to shoot some dramas?" ”
He Chuan was dumbfounded, he knew that he couldn't hide it from Xu Jin.
"Yes, even if you don't ask me today, I will tell you in a few days that the upper echelons have invested in several dramas and plan to make self-made dramas, and they want you to participate in one of them.
Although it is a self-made drama of the company. But it won't hurt you in terms of salary, and if you want, you can even convert your salary into investment dividends. ”
Xu Jin frowned slightly, since it is an internal self-made drama, it is his duty to participate as a star of the company, and the conditions given by the company are very generous, but he knows that there is no free lunch in the world.
"The quality of these dramas is probably not as good as I imagined." Xu Jin spoke slowly.
He Chuan frowned, "To be honest, I don't know what the quality is, I just know that the company has prepared so many self-made dramas and wants to launch them, and has concentrated a lot of resources in it."
To tell you the truth, if you can participate in these self-made dramas, it will deepen your relationship with the company even more, and the company will invest more resources in you. ”
The company invests in filming, and its actors participate in the projects invested by the company, which is a close cooperative relationship, with both prosperity and loss.
Because the company's films cannot guarantee income, but if you get a high salary, you will inevitably be suspected of asking the company for a price, and celebrities often encounter this situation, and they will choose to convert their salary into dividends.
If the quality of the script is not good, the actors are still willing to act, and even achieve a kind of effect in the snow.
Thinking of such a little friendship, He Chuan thought that Xu Jin and Tang Ren would propose to terminate the contract in the future, no matter how unhappy Tang Ren was, he would not choose to tear his face with Xu Jin and start a scolding war.
After all, each of the two sides has paid for the cooperation in the past five years.
He Chuan said his thoughts, and Xu Jin listened to it and felt that there was some truth.
Artists often face two situations when terminating a contract with a company, one is to terminate the contract peacefully, and the other is to see you in court.
Xu Jin will not choose to terminate the contract with Tang Ren, he will stay until the contract expires, but after that, he has no clue what to do.
If he has been using the company's resources, but the returns he has created for the company do not meet expectations, then I am afraid that there will be a lot of dissatisfaction within Tang Ren when he leaves.
But what if he did his best to create huge profits for the company?
Thinking that there is no merit and hard work, when the contract expires and leaves, it should be smoother.
Xu Jin: "Then that's it, you send me the script first, if it's appropriate, I'll do it next." ”
At the end, he added, "Even if the quality is average, if the quality is too poor, it is impossible for me to lose my reputation to endorse the company." ”
He Chuan nodded hurriedly: "I understand, it is impossible for the company to come up with a particularly bad film, and consume the influence of your first-line star for no reason, the reputation of the actor is very important, everyone knows this." ”
Xu Jin is not very optimistic about this, and the reason why He Chuan feels that this point is important is because he has often emphasized it in front of him, but do those company executives know?
They only recognize a string of data, and never analyze how much effort has been made behind the rising film, and how good the content quality is, so that it can support the explosion of a blockbuster.
However, Xu Jin didn't say much, and he would read everything when he got the script.
After talking to He Chuan in the morning, there was no announcement, he rested at noon, and went to Wei Dao's side non-stop in the afternoon.
When he was in Treasure Island, he received a text message from Director Wei, asking him to help with a task.
Xu Jin also had some expectations for this matter, but he didn't expect that the mentality of the members would change so much after two months of filming.
Wei asked him for help in a very timely manner, otherwise if this atmosphere continues, the quality of the crew's shooting will definitely decline in the later stage.
As an investor, he must not watch the quality of the film decline and affect his own money!
The filming scene of "Love Apartment".
The weather was extremely hot, and the crew members, including the chores, were a little lazy and lazy in the apartment, and many of the props to be used were not ready.
They all waited for the director to shout that filming was going to start before they started to prepare, and if the director didn't speak, they were not as conscious as before.
This is true not only of the staff, but also of the actors.
The actors were bored and bored and playing with their mobile phones, and they couldn't see the situation at all.
Xu Jin walked into the filming site, immediately felt this lazy atmosphere, his face was slightly gloomy, and he glanced around, only to see an actress holding the script and reciting lines, and the other actors did not communicate.
Xu Jin frowned and walked quickly to Director Wei's side.
There were staff members around who recognized him, their eyes widened and they were surprised, and they just wanted to say hello to him, but Xu Jin had already passed in front of him.
"What's going on, it's completely different from when I first turned it on?"
Director Wei was frowning and didn't know what he was thinking, when he saw Xu Jin coming, as if he had seen a savior, he was obviously relieved and pulled him away.
The two walked to a secluded and uninhabited corner before he spoke: "Alas, in the end, I didn't do a good job, and I didn't take out the director's stern frame at the beginning."
I thought about being nice to them, and they would be nice to me, but I didn't expect it to be like this, and the actors' tempers are getting bigger and bigger day by day.
urged them to film, there were always one or two actors who dragged on for more than ten minutes before they were ready, and the actors who were already waiting for filming in front of them were a little impatient. ”
Xu Jin thought of the scene he saw when he first entered the crew, and said lightly: "I'm afraid you are not only good to the actors, I think you are also very good to those staff, obviously you were hired to do things, but you are even bigger than you as a director." ”
Director Wei wanted to speak and stopped, and finally sighed heavily: "At first, I just thought they were doing well, so I didn't care much about them, and I let them deal with everything by themselves, but I didn't expect them to become more and more lazy......"
It's hard to put into words, it's hard to put into words!
Xu Jin looked at him: "Do you know what mistakes you made in this matter?" ”
Director Wei nodded: "I shouldn't think they can take care of themselves and let them do things."
Once you let go, it will only promote people's inertia, and an incomparably large crew can't just rely on personal consciousness, if you want to shoot a good film, you still need supervision. ”
Xu Jin said in a deep voice: "I just searched for your information on the Internet, and found that you graduated from film school a few years ago, and after you came out, you only shot a short film, and then worked as an assistant to several directors, and you have no experience in shooting large-scale film and television dramas."
So, you actually have no experience in filming, I didn't remind you at this point, I also had mistakes, which could have been avoided. ”
He changed his words and said unceremoniously: "Fortunately, I found it in time now, and it's not too late, if you delay it any longer, tell me a month later, then this drama will really be wasted." ”
Seeing that Xu Jin didn't blame him for leading the team, Director Wei couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
If Xu Jin had been discussing this matter, Director Wei would have felt even more guilty in his heart.
Before Xu Jin came, he couldn't help but think of some of the worst consequences, and even wondered if Xu Jin would want to change a director to shoot this drama.
Director Wei absolutely did not accept this result, so he decided that no matter how Xu Jin criticized him after he came over, he had to accept it with an open mind.
It's a dream he's been dreaming of for years, and he doesn't want to be ruined by his mistakes!
Xu Jin looked at him and continued: "Everything is not allowed, this time you had a problem during the filming, next time I don't want to see the same problem happen again."
If you still repeat the mistakes of the past, then I really have to think about whether the director should be replaced, maybe you have the talent of a director, but there are so many people in the entire crew, it is not enough to rely on talent alone. ”
Director Wei hurriedly patted his chest and promised, "There will never be a next time!" ”
Xu Jin saw that there were some people around him who poked their heads out to look at them, thinking that the news of his arrival in the crew should have spread throughout the crew, so he pulled Director Wei back.
As soon as they entered the crew, sure enough, everyone in the crew automatically gathered together and looked at him a little nervously.
Not only the staff looked worried, but even some of the actors looked nervous.
Xu Jin's sharp eyes glanced at the audience, and said coldly: "You are still nervous, it seems that it is not hopeless!"
If I get to the crew, and you are still the same idle, idle, and sore like before, then I will announce on the spot that the crew is out of business, and I will not continue to invest! ”
"The reason why I will invest is because I am optimistic about this drama and the prospects of this type of theme in the market, rather than spending a lot of money to support idlers whose minds are not in the crew!
Everyone has been in the society for so many years, and now we all know how hard it is to earn money, and we all have to pay how much effort we want to make as much money as possible, which is very fair, who of you is not hard to earn money? ”
Xu Jin eased his tone, not as sharp as before, and moved with emotion and reason.
"I know that when you shoot under a hot head, you will get tired and hot, and some staff members will stand in the sun for hours, and it is not easy to carry a large reflector to light.
There are also people who suffer from heat stroke, physical exhaustion, and even fainting, but you are working hard, the whole crew is also working hard, and the actors are also working hard! ”
Xu Jin talked about the actors again, "Don't look at the actors are all glamorous, after you go back, you have to figure out the script, you have to memorize the lines and practice your expressions, otherwise when they come to the crew tomorrow, they will not be ready for anything, and they will be scolded by the director."
The preparation was not done well, and the performance was performed under the camera without any practice, isn't this scolding deserved?
The camera is the most honest, it is able to record all your expressions, whether you are trying or not, we can see through the camera.
There are hundreds of people in the entire crew, and everyone looks at you being scolded by the director, delaying the progress of the crew, delaying the time for the whole crew to go home for dinner, and the actors are embarrassed! ”
Xu Jin said as he looked at them.
All the people who had made eye contact with him couldn't help but lower their heads in the next second, not daring to look at his eyes.
Xu Jin's eyes are so sharp, just like a needle, as if they can poke people's hearts!
"If the crew doesn't work well, it will affect the quality of the picture shown on camera. If the actors don't work hard, it will delay the progress of the entire crew.
Don't think that just because I invested in this drama, you will definitely be popular if you act, and everything will be worry-free! No matter how famous I am, I can't save a bad drama.
I have read the script of this drama, because I am optimistic about the script, so I am willing to invest, if you can't present the plot in the script, the effect is not good, even the best script can't save you! ”
Xu Jin's words were sincere and ruthless, shattering the illusions of some actors, thinking that they could sit back and relax if they acted casually.
At the same time, Xu Jin is also reflecting on his mistakes, was it wrong to boast about Haikou to give them self-confidence at the beginning?
