Peng Yuyan said that he was grateful to his agent, which was not false at all.

It's a bit ridiculous to think about it now, but at that time, he was still hesitant about "Glory" and another so-called famous director and big production that had schedule conflicts.

But you can't really blame him.

The director of another project, who is considered a famous director, is also a popular IP adaptation, although the investment is not as good as the 800 million yuan of "Glory", but the salary is actually more generous.

At the same time, at that time, Wedo Entertainment had not yet made a name for itself in the film industry, only had a successful record of small-budget horror films such as "Hell Apartment", and had never made a large-scale investment commercial film - at that time, "War" had not yet been released.

How do you choose between these two projects? It's really worth dwelling on.

If it weren't for his agent, who tried hard to persuade him, he wouldn't have really chosen another project.

But even so, at the beginning, the point that his agent considered was the value of the IP of 'League of Legends'. I instinctively feel that such a national-level IP in Chinese mainland, the film adaptation, should have relatively good results.

No one could have imagined that "Glory" would be such a big success.

After listening to some of the next work arrangements said by his agent, Peng Yuyan nodded and said, "It's up to you...... However, is there a further arrangement for the sequel to "Demacia"? ”

"There it is." The agent said, "Wedo Entertainment has already started preparations for a sequel, and the name has been tentatively decided, called "Demacia: Dragon's Blood". You're the first actor, and the other Chris. Evans will have a lot less of a role than you. However, some other characters will be introduced in this, in short, your role as a Jiawen is still very secure. ”

"When will you join the group and start shooting?"

"It is said that the project has been launched, and the script and pre-creation have begun, but it seems that the funds have not yet arrived, and Wedo Entertainment is still talking to Penguin."

"There is no need to worry about the funds." Peng Yuyan said, "The last global box office could hit tens of billions, such a movie, are you still worried about funding for the sequel? ”

"Well, those two are not short of money, and I guess they are talking about the distribution of benefits."

"Then my salary ......"

"Don't even think about it." His agent was also a little helpless, "When I signed the first part earlier, the salary for the sequel was limited in the contract, and I found someone to study it for a long time, and there were no loopholes to drill." ”

"Is there really nothing to talk about?"

"There's nothing to talk about."

"It's a pity...... Peng Yuyan said, "I knew that I wouldn't have signed a sequel in the first place, and I also signed a long-term contract of five parts!" And there are more than five long contracts, if you continue to shoot after five films, there will be a salary limit for the renewal of the contract later......"

The agent shook his head and said, "It's useless to think about this, if you don't sign it at that time, it will be impossible for Wedo Entertainment to use you." Their work is obviously going to be filmed for a long time, just like Marvel's superheroes. With the example of Robert Downey Jr. first, they couldn't have been unguarded. ”

"That's ...... too"

"It's good now." The agent in turn comforted, "The salary given by Wedo Entertainment is actually not low, plus the bonus for good movie performance and a 30% increase in salary, in fact, the income is very good when filmed." ”

"I understand." Peng Yuyan said, "I just think it's a pity." ”

"Well, in the future, if you take on other films and commercial endorsements, you will make up for all the income of this part. As for the salary of the "Demacia" series, I will talk to Dimension Entertainment again to see if there is any possibility of fighting for it, but you should not expect too much. ”

……

On the side of Wedo Entertainment, it did receive a request from Peng Yuyan's agent to negotiate a salary.

In fact, it's not just Peng Yuyan, in the movie "Demacia: Glory", the roles played are slightly heavier, especially the actors who play the 'heroes' in the original game, have come over to inquire whether there are any new possibilities in terms of salary.

But the response given by Wedo Entertainment is very resolute: impossible, everything is in accordance with the contract.

It's too much to do.

If you give this opening to an actor, all the actors will pounce. The movie is successful, these actors rely on their respective roles, and the lion opens his mouth, so the movie doesn't have to be made - the money earned to feed the actors may not be enough.

In terms of salary, Wedo Entertainment is not stingy. The salary that should be given is enough, and after the success of the movie, in addition to the contract, the entire creative team was also given a bonus of more than 100 million.

Even so, the follow-up actors' salaries must be restricted.

The most perfect situation is to maintain the integrity of the main creative team under the condition of orderly controlling the proportion of actors' remuneration in the total cost. And if it really can't be done later, then from the perspective of Dimension Entertainment, it is impossible to accept a salary of more than 60 million US dollars for a person like Robert Downey Jr., who would rather change actors or abandon the sequel movie role of the hero.

That's horrible.

Of course, they don't need to worry about this for now.

After the huge success of "Glory", Dimension Entertainment immediately launched the corresponding sequel plan.

The new work, tentatively titled, is indeed "Demacia: Dragon's Blood".

The script for "Dragon's Blood", and even the script for the third part of the Demacia trilogy, has actually been completed. And now that the film has been a huge success, a sequel will naturally be on the agenda.

The corresponding preliminary design work has already begun. One of the most important is the design of the first two new main characters, one of which is 'Dragon's Blood Warrior Queen. Shivana', and its mother, the big boss of the second part, the dragon Eva, is a dark legend.

Shivana's actor has been confirmed, and she is a domestic actress, Xin Zhilei.

Xin Zhilei is not a beauty star in the traditional sense, she has been mixed for many years before, and she has not mixed up anything. But the professional level is really not bad, he has good acting skills, and with the accumulation of works, his fame has gradually grown.

Of course, there are two main factors in choosing her to play the dragon girl Sivana. One is that Shivana is a dragonman, which must require a lot of makeup and post-CG technology to synthesize the image. This requires more of the actor's acting skills, but on the contrary, the requirements for appearance are not so high.

The second point is that Xin Zhilei is not expensive, and the salary is controllable.
