The celebration banquet of "Hell Apartment 2" still has to be held.

In the month of its release, it perfectly achieved the expected goal and achieved a box office of 450 million. While the box office performance greatly exceeded the previous work, it also maintained a fairly good reputation.

According to estimates, the film will continue to be released for about a month or so. Although it has entered the end of the screening period, in the last month, if you are optimistic, it may not be possible for the total box office to rush to 500 million.

After the success of such a film, it is only natural for the production company to invite the main creative team to hold a celebration banquet together.

Fan Zhe also attended the banquet, and at the beginning of the banquet, he also held a microphone and delivered a speech.

After finishing the matter, he chatted with Dai Weidong, the leader of 'Dimension Agency', about the development of the company's artists, and with Li Ze, one of the current main actors under 'Dimension Brokerage', and inspired. Turning around, Shi Jiangxuan and Lei Xiajun, the two executives of 'Wedo Media', also came up and made contact with each other.

This is a normal model of a commercial cocktail party, although Fan Zhe doesn't like it very much, but who made him the chief boss of Wedo Entertainment? This kind of thing is inevitable. He also needs to take this opportunity to communicate with the important people of the many branch companies below the group, at least to get closer to each other.

Although, in fact, these people are more managed by Ye Jiayi.

It felt that the time was almost up, and when the celebration banquet was about to end, Fan Zhe was ready to retreat and leave. And before that, a figure staggered towards him.

At a glance, it is the director of "Hell Apartment 2", Ji Jiaxin.

He must be considered the hero of this movie.

Before, Fan Zhe had always been surrounded by people, and Ji Jiaxin didn't come over. But in any case, the movie was a success, and Fan Zhe, as the boss of the investor, should touch the cup with the director and have a few words.

It's just that why does he walk so staggeringly? Seeing that his face was flushed, it was estimated that he was at the drinking party just now, and he didn't drink less.

With these chaotic thoughts and thoughts turning in his head, Ji Jiaxin has already come closer.

"Mr. Fan!" Ji Jiaxin's face was happy, "There were too many people around you just now, so I didn't come over, and I had a drink with others, and I will definitely come to have a drink with you now." ”

Fan Zhe also smiled: "Okay, the movie of "Hell Apartment 2" is really hard for you." Everyone has contributed to this success. ”

After that, Fan Zhe raised his cup and touched it with Na Ji's heart, but he didn't drink it.

Fan Zhe doesn't like to drink.

But Ji Jiaxin drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, and then said a little unhappily: "Toast or not, doesn't Mr. Fan look down on me?" ”

Hearing these harsh words, Fan Zhe frowned, but then said with a smile: "How come, Director Ji Da is the hero of the film." ”

Then he raised his glass and took a sip.

This is how much it gives people face.

Ji Jiaxin's face was still not very good, because what he was thinking about was hoping that Fan Zhe could do the same and kill him in one bite.

However, he didn't dwell on this matter any longer.

Taking advantage of the wine, he smiled and put his hand on Fan Zhe's shoulder, made a very intimate gesture, and then said: "Mr. Fan, "Hell Apartment 1" was filmed by you back then, and this second part was filmed by me, and the box office results are better than yours." ”

"......" Fan Zhe is already starting to be a little unhappy.

Is it possible to say such a thing? Can the pioneering work of a series be the same concept as a sequel film made from an already successful film? The IP of "Hell Apartment" does not have the success of the first part as an accumulation, where is it so successful in the future? Especially in terms of actors, can Li Ze, the male lead, be as popular now as he was back then?

What's more, there is a big difference between the first part and the second part, just in terms of publicity investment. The second part, from the production cost to the publicity investment, all added up, is more than twice as high as the original first part.

Besides, the success of the movie, especially the film of this commercial film model, the relationship between the director is really great? The script has been written a long time ago, the storyboard has been designed a long time ago, and the well-known post-special effects production of Wedo Entertainment needless to say.

This Ji Jiaxin, who drank too much wine, is he so brainless?

Fan Zhe was a little angry, but after all, this was a celebration banquet, and he didn't want to make the scene too ugly, so he didn't plan to pay attention to this guy who looked complacent.

But they wouldn't leave it at that.

"Mr. Fan, the salary I got in this second part is too low." Ji Jiaxin continued to say, the smell of wine sprayed on Fan Zhe's face, and then the way he spoke with that big tongue made Fan Zhe really uncomfortable.

He didn't realize it himself, but continued: "I know that I didn't have much qualifications before, so it was normal to get such a salary at that time. However, now you should see my strength, the salary of the third part, I think it should be more in line with my identity, six million should be a more reasonable number. ”

This sentence directly made Fan Zhe laugh angrily.

Million? This figure is fifteen times Ji Jiaxin's current salary when filming "Hell Apartment 2"!

"Come according to the contract." Fan Zhe waved his hand and said.

The so-called according to the contract refers to the fact that when Ji Jiaxin applied to Wedo Entertainment to serve as the director of "Hell Apartment 2", the contract signed had a treaty about the sequel. According to the treaty, Wedo Entertainment has the right to choose whether Ji Jiaxin will be the director of the third film.

And if Wedo Entertainment activates this renewal clause, then Ji Jiaxin must act in accordance with the contract. Of course, Wedo Entertainment also needs to pay Ji Jiaxin a bonus of 200,000 yuan, and the salary of the third part will also increase by no more than 60%.

This means that if you operate according to the contract, Ji Jiaxin's behavior of asking for a salary of six million is absolutely unreliable.

It is definitely impossible for Fan Zhe to agree to Ji Jiaxin's request here.

Give him six million and a salary increase of fifteen times, which is easy to say, but what about the others? He started this, and the rest of the main creative team behind him also took advantage of this opportunity, regardless of the contract, the lion opened his mouth, what should I do? Wouldn't it be that Wedo Entertainment is going to open "Hell Apartment 3" again, and the cost will be hundreds of millions?

What's more, Fan Zhe really doesn't think what would happen if he changed to a director.

At that time, when he was looking for a director for "Hell Apartment 2" and even "Demacia: Glory", he adhered to the attitude of saying that he wanted to find a reliable, obedient, and strong executive director, especially the last 'execution', which was the most important.

As for what kind of talent to talk about, these can be put later. It doesn't matter if you have no talent, for the heavy industry film created by Wedo Entertainment, as long as the director has enough execution and can complete the shooting of the shot in accordance with the plan made in advance of the project in a rigorous and quality manner.

This is certainly a very important job, but to be honest, it is not very difficult to find a director with strong enough execution.

Fan Zhe doesn't think that the future "Hell Apartment 3" will not be able to play without Ji Jiaxin.

But Ji Jiaxin himself didn't think so.

In his own heart, he is the biggest hero of "Hell Apartment 2". All the shots, except for a very small number of full-special effects shots, all the other shots in the picture were shot by him, the director, from beginning to end with the crew.

Even, he was still dissatisfied with the finished film edited in the later stage, and felt that he had shot many good shots, but he didn't use them at all; A mere 100-minute film length is not enough to fully express what he thinks as a director.

But there is no way, who let the post-editing rights not be in his hands in the end?

In this regard, in fact, he is already very unhappy. He firmly believes that if this movie is completely decentralized, he believes that he can make the finished product of this film better and more awesome - just like this, it can sell 450 million in the early 20 days of release, so if it is completely delegated to his own flowers, from the early planning to the post-editing, and even in the design and special effects production, he can refer more to his own opinions, or simply guide by himself, then wouldn't the movie have to sell one billion, or even 1.5 billion?

The second part has no chance, after all, it has already been released, but if he takes the third part, he hopes to win the power that these directors should have. Ji Jiaxin felt that the crew should let themselves be formed by themselves and find some more powerful people; The design should be seen by him, and he must nod his head; The editor is just to start with himself, and the real editing work is still up to the director......

Of course, he has done so much for "Hell Apartment 3", and his salary should be higher.

In the past, his reputation was not obvious, so he could only accept a low salary, and more importantly, he fought for filming opportunities; And now, I have a fairly successful work, so I should have the right to ask for a salary, right?

As for the contract...... Didn't I expect that the box office of this film would be so good? It's already 450 million, and it is estimated that when the screening is over, it will rise by 50 million and rush to 500 million, and it seems that there will be no problem. What's more, at that time, if he hadn't signed that renewal clause, Wedo Entertainment wouldn't have asked him to be a director at all.

The signing is a bit unavoidable, but now that it has been successful, if Weiwei Entertainment wants him to continue to serve as the director of the third part, even if there is a renewal contract, he should have the capital to negotiate a new one.

Since "Hell Apartment 2" can be regarded as a success, he has also received praise from many parties, and the whole person is a little fluttering, but he is also more and more dissatisfied with the renewal terms signed at that time.

Today, he rashly came to Fan Zhe to say these words, on the one hand, of course, it was alcohol, but more importantly, it was naturally that he had such thoughts.

Therefore, when he heard Fan Zhe say 'come according to the contract', he was very unhappy.

"Contract or something, we can go back and talk about it, my contribution to this movie is not what I want the price of 400,000 yuan to reflect, if I want to make the third part, only 60% of the salary will be increased, I absolutely can't agree."

At this point, his voice was getting louder and louder. The appearance of a red face and a thick neck also didn't look very decent, which attracted others to look here frequently, especially after hearing what he was talking about, it was even more attention-grabbing.

As a director, he was originally one of the most important roles in this banquet, and Fan Zhe, the big boss, could be regarded as the host of the banquet. These two people, when they have a dispute, will naturally attract everyone's attention.

Ji Jiaxin himself was a little unaware, and was still talking loudly about how much he contributed to "Hell Apartment 2", that the third part would not be successful without him, and that Dimension Entertainment unloaded and killed donkeys.

The people next to him tried their best to keep a smile on their faces at first, but when they heard these more and more excessive words, they all felt that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly came up to persuade them.

And in this process, Fan Zhe never spoke, he didn't want to make the scene too ugly, but he couldn't stand the toss of the drunken Ji family.

When Fan Zhe was upset, he finally couldn't hold back the anger in his heart.

"Drag him out for me!"

This cocktail party was held by Wedo Entertainment, Fan Zhe was the host here, and most of the people who participated were originally employees of Wedo Entertainment's Film Division, and the other part were crew members. These people, at the cocktail party, will they stand on Fan Zhe's side, or will they stand on Ji Jiaxin's side? It's basically something you don't have to think about.

Just the security guards at the scene, they all listened to Fan Zhe.

Ji Jiaxin was carried out, he slammed the horizontal fence hard, and his mouth was still scolding, and the scene became even more ugly.

After being thrown outside, Ji Jiaxin staggered, and wanted to get up and rush in again, but was stopped.

This time, it was not Fan Zhe's people who stopped him, but his own agent.

"Are you crazy?" The agent was shocked and angry, "How dare you do such a thing on such an occasion?" You don't want to get mixed up, I still want to hug the thighs of Dimension Entertainment! ”

Ji Jiaxin shouted nonsense in his mouth, but he couldn't hear a complete sentence, and after shouting a few words, he suddenly vomited, and a large amount of filth was vomited on his agent.

"I'm really blind, I thought you could be promising!"

He knew that Ji Jiaxin had always regarded himself very highly, but he could get drunk at a drinking party and then make such a show, he never dreamed of it.
