Chapter 512: Changing Angles
Ask for recommendation tickets, ask for monthly passes, ask for rewards, kneel for subscription support, thank you!
"What, the heroine wants to raise her salary on the spot, to 10 million?" Li Xiao answered the mobile phone and heard Xu Yuan's slightly hurried words on the phone.
Xu Yuan on the other side of the phone nodded and said: "Yes, that's right, and she also made a request, naming another person named Chen Feipeng to participate in the show, if she can't meet these two requirements, she will boycott." ”
When Li Xiao heard this, his brows couldn't help frowning.
Originally, the remuneration was negotiated in advance, but now, when the movie is about to start, the other party is threatening the film contract and starting the price, which is simply unreasonable.
Moreover, on the phone, Li Xiao also heard a familiar name, Chen Feipeng.
The other party's request is for Chen Feipeng to also participate in the show, which means that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.
I have to say that this circle is both big and small.
As the saying goes, things gather by like, and people are grouped.
When he was acting by himself, judging from Chen Feipeng's words and deeds, he might be able to see a person's character, Li Xiao did not approve of this Chen Feipeng's character, and although he had never seen this Liu Tong, he must be able to get together with Chen Feipeng, and it was not a good thing.
"Mr. Li, what should we do now?" Xu Yuan asked with some eagerness.
From the opposite phone, there was the sound of heavy footsteps, as well as the sound of scratching the scalp, and it seemed that Xu Yuan was also quite annoyed.
Regarding the filming of the "Dragon Blade" movie, Li Xiao also put forward his own requirements, and Li Xiao also has his own opinions on casting.
Now many celebrities participate in movies, and they are often paid tens of millions of dollars, and there is even a rumor that when a certain little fresh meat joins the new film, his price is 200 million yuan.
200 million yuan, not to focus on the elaborate production of the movie to improve its own quality, but just as one of the actors' salary, and it is also a little fresh meat with worrying acting skills, which is simply putting the cart before the horse!
……
……
With the patent fee of holographic image technology and the operation of Zhichuang Company, he is naturally not short of money now, not to mention 10 million, just 100 million salary, he can afford it.
However, not being short of money does not mean that people can ask for it excessively.
Therefore, Li Xiao asked that in this movie, he should use more capable new actors, and the money he invested, the salary of which is mainly used for the film production itself, costumes, props, venues, and special effects.
This is also Li Xiao's idea.
Xu Yuan did this, and he spent a lot of effort for casting.
He recruited roles in the film and television city, and even went to various film and television academies to recruit new actors with superb acting skills, and checked at all levels, which can really be described as carefully selected.
It can be said that the vast majority of the actors recruited in the movie "Dragon Blade" have good acting skills, and some of them have some innate talents, and even compared with those old actors who have been in the film and television industry for many years, Xu Yuan, who is really involved in the recruitment of actors, has a practical experience.
For their acting skills, Xu Yuan is absolutely confident.
However, as a director, he also has to think about one point, and that is about the fame of the film.
Under normal circumstances, when people learn about a movie, they first look at the theme of the movie, and then pay attention to its actors, whether there are many stars, and whether the lineup is strong enough.
The popularity of the actor is also related to the fame of the movie, and it can be said that there is no doubt about this.
In view of such considerations, Xu Yuan is ready to arrange a star with both fame and topicality in the movie.
After he thought about it, Liu Tong walked into his eyes.
Liu Tong has connected several film and television dramas, and the variety shows she participated in are also popular in ratings, with a certain degree of popularity and topicality, if she can be allowed to participate, it can drive the fame and promotion of the movie to a certain extent, and as for the acting skills, it also has a certain merit.
After that, Xu Yuan talked with the other party's brokerage company, and finally finalized the salary of five million, which should be not low, but he didn't expect the other party to sit on the ground and start the price, which Xu Yuan did not expect.
……
……
"Since she thinks that the salary is small, then we will fulfill her and terminate the cooperation with her!" At this time, Li Xiao sneered disapprehantly, not worried at all.
Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Did Mr. Li really decide to remove her?" ”
Li Xiao nodded, and said very firmly: "That's just right, let's remove her role, fully use the lineup of newcomers, and tilt more resources and costs to the quality and production of the movie, this should be the core of the movie, as a director, you should also understand this better, right?" ”
After listening to Li Xiao's words, Xu Yuan groaned on the other end of the phone.
If Liu Tong is replaced, then it will be a new movie lineup, but since he chose the theme of military film action, then he will naturally go all out, even if it is a new lineup, he must shoot it well, so he responded: "Okay, about this matter, I'll do it now." ”
……
……
In a high-end apartment in Ancheng City.
Chen Feipeng paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back.
Liu Tong was holding a mobile phone in his hand, glancing at the display screen from time to time, as if he was waiting for something.
Finally, the phone called.
Liu Tong showed a bright smile on her face, and quickly picked up the phone to answer it, but after a while, the smile on her face converged, and was replaced by a sudden stiffness and condensation.
After Liu Tong hung up the phone in despair, Chen Feipeng hurriedly stepped forward and asked expectantly: "Tongtong, how is it, what does the brokerage company say?" ”
At this time, Liu Tong slowly raised his head, looked at Chen Feipeng's eyes, and said with some resentment: "The brokerage company has already talked to Xu Yuan, but they didn't agree...... I also removed my main character, and I'm looking for a new person to replace me! ”
"What, looking for new people, which means they're going to shoot with a new lineup?" At this time, Chen Feipeng's expectant expression also froze, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were full of surprise.
This is obviously beyond Chen Feipeng's expectations, in his opinion, this "Dragon Blade" movie, as a generally low box office action military movie, is mainly a lineup of newcomers in terms of supporting roles, so its publicity exposure and popularity will be reduced a lot.
At this time, the safest way is to arrange an actor with both fame and topicality to promote the promotion of this movie, and Liu Tong is undoubtedly a very suitable candidate now.
However, after a phone call, the crew resolutely replaced Liu Tong, could it be said that the investors could not afford such a high salary, or that they had great confidence in the movie? !
……
……
Chen Feipeng panicked, he looked at Liu Tong's eyes, and even kept dodging, not daring to face it.
After all, he was the one who raised the price on the spot at first, but now that something like this has happened, he naturally can't escape it.
"Feipeng, what should I do now, not only can I not be able to do this drama now, but I am likely to have a grudge with Xu Yuan." Liu Tong sat down on the sofa all of a sudden, and immediately, she looked at Chen Feipeng and said pleadingly, now she has bet on Chen Feipeng's body.
Chen Feipeng's eyes dripped, his mind moved, a cold color flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smug face: "Tongtong, don't worry, I know a very good public relations company, the last time I participated in the movie directed by Wang Qing, I also raised the price on the spot, and the investor didn't agree at first, but under my operation, in the end, I didn't succeed in receiving this role, we released the wind on the Internet, and said that Xu Yuan removed your role for no reason when the movie was about to start filming." ”
"And we can hire a large number of water armies and let them denounce Xu Yuan and investors on the Internet, to create pressure from public opinion, and call on netizens to boycott this movie, so that they are under such great pressure of public opinion, it is difficult to ride a tiger, and they have to turn to you for help, when the time comes, you can successfully receive this role, and you can use it as a threat to put forward higher requirements."
Obviously, this is not the first time Chen Feipeng has done such a thing.
"That's all it can be now." Liu Tong sighed in his heart.
……
……
The next day, a message suddenly broke out on the network.
The action military theme "Dragon Blade", on the eve of filming, unilaterally replaced Liu Tong's leading role, which attracted a lot of attention under the reprinting of many netizens.
Immediately, Liu Tong, as the party concerned, also posted a long article on her meager top, in which she also confirmed this, skipping the fact that she was asking for a sky-high price, but complained about the ruthlessness of the crew of "Dragon Blade" in a tone full of grievances, and cried to netizens.
Soon, there were also a lot of comments under Liu Tong's article, most of which were in solidarity and support for Liu Tong.
"Tongtong actually made a meager hair in the early morning?"
"was actually temporarily removed from the role, this crew is too unkind, our Tongtong is so cute, and the acting skills are so good, why should she be replaced! Tongtong, don't be sad, we are all on your side and firmly support you! ”
"@ "Dragon Blade" movie is meager, how hard did you work to make Tongtong, she has a fever of 61 degrees and is still trying to memorize her lines, her throat is swollen and she is still insisting on dubbing, even if her body is almost tired and falling apart, she is still participating in variety shows, bringing joy to everyone, Tongtong is filming for more than 20 hours every day, she works so hard and is so dedicated, why do you deprive her of her role!"
"Films with action and military themes are originally low at the box office, but our Tongtong chose to take the initiative to participate in such a movie, which itself is to transmit more energy and contribute to the movie of this theme, but this crew has to replace Tongtong's role, which is really chilling."
"I originally liked to watch movies directed by Xu Yuan, but I didn't expect to suppress such a diligent and outstanding actor as Tongtong, I have to say that he and his team are really disappointing, and they have turned black since then."
"@ "Dragon Blade" movie is meager, please come out and give everyone an explanation!"
……
Not only that, but many people ran under the meager "Dragon Blade" movie and commented wildly.
"The crew maliciously suppressed the actors and resolutely boycotted "Dragon Blade"!"
"When the movie is released, everyone must not go to the cinema to contribute to the box office, such a movie is not worth watching at all, unless the director and investor apologize to Liu Tong and let her continue to play the heroine."
"Although this movie was not released, I know from your behavior that it must be a very bad movie."
As the incident became bigger and bigger, this news was also on the hot search, which attracted more and more people's attention, and many people who did not know the truth were also complaining about Liu Tong.
……
Li Xiao was stunned at first when he learned about this meager hot discussion, but after thinking about it for a while, he quickly understood that this must be a good thing for Liu Tong and the public relations behind her.
