"Tom, I wonder if you're interested in playing 'Richard'?"

With Ye Wei's words, the conference room suddenly fell silent, and the heart of Lawyer Soldton, who had never had a chance to speak, beat dangerously again, investing and starring are completely different things!

Hanks' expression didn't change much, and the honest smile of the sign clearly thought about it.

Agent Brian's laughter came from the conference call: "It's a little scary. ”

Of course it's scary! Gonzman doesn't know what to say, if he invests, he keeps a low profile, even if he fails, it's just a crazy investment failure, there are successes and failures; but starring in person, failure will stain the actor's career, and the screen image will be damaged, although even Spielberg has confidence in Ye Wei, but ......

Ye Wei said seriously: "Tom, 'Richard' is really very suitable for you, when I selected the target star actor, the first thing that came to mind was you, I asked the screenwriter Arndt, and the ideal candidate in his mind is also you." That's a great story, great characters, isn't it?"

"Of course the script is great, and I love 'Richard' too. Hanks also said in a serious tone, "However, in this matter, forgive me for not being a passionate person, and I can't make the decision to act lightly." ”

Brian's voice sounded again: "Yes, it's not about trust or distrust, from a professional point of view, Tom can't act, at least for now." ”

"I understand. Ye Wei nodded, this result was expected, Hanks is not a fool, but what made his heart suddenly struck was that Hanks's interest in acting was very low, and the balance was tilted towards the "no" side, obviously now is not the time to entangle, as long as I hope that the fire will not be extinguished, there will be a chance to make the balance fall to "yes".

He took a step back and said, "Gentlemen, since I am the producer and director of the project, I have to do my job well, and to do it well, the first priority is to invite Tom to play 'Richard'." So I'm not going to give up, but I know it's not easy to make this kind of amazing decision, Tom, anyway, we don't do overseas pre-sales, and it's still a while before the actors are confirmed, why don't you see how well I do my job and what my public image is, and then make a decision?"

"Good. Hanks didn't refuse anymore and smiled: "This is also my idea, and when it comes to the casting stage, we will see the situation." ”

Brian also said: "In this way, the filming period and schedule are also factors to consider, so there is no need to worry." ”

Ye Wei could hear that Hanks really kept the possibility, and Brian was just saying decent words, and he probably had already vetoed it in his heart, but it was better to have a hope than nothing. He smiled and pointed at Hanks, "Okay, I'll try to do a good job, for your joining!"

"I watched. Hanks said.

Lawyer Salton's heart was relieved, so to speak, whether Tom Hanks will join and the final starring lineup of "Little Sunshine Beauty" is still unknown for the time being, maybe it will, maybe not, maybe there will be other stars, it all depends on Ye Wei's achievements in all aspects next.

If he could, he really wanted to take a time machine to the future to see, what would happen to Ye Wei, what would happen to this movie, what would happen to him...... It's exciting!

Everyone then talked about some production details, such as the filming location is set in Toronto, there are tax rebates, and the price of labor is low, 5oo is 5oo in Los Angeles, but 7oo or 8oo in Toronto.

In order to reduce Ye Wei's burden and make up for his lack of production experience, two executive producers will still be hired, Hanks will not give him a hand, and Gozman will serve as the executive producer on behalf of Pretong, and it is also unknown who Ye Wei's right and left hand will be.

The most talked about in this meeting is not the "Little Sunshine Beauty" project, it is a step to be done in front of it, and the top priority now: to create Ye Wei's image.

It's like a string of firecrackers, once lit, they have to explode one ring after another, fast and slow, and even more not, so the coordination of time is very important.

After the discussion of Brian, Leslie and Ye Wei, it was preliminarily determined that the remake of "The Wedding is Coming" will be launched at the beginning of the summer vacation, that is, around June, three months before this point in time, "Angel Dance" will be launched, and the first action will be launched, that is, in March.

And Ye Wei had to complete the production of the remake by June, including the preview screening and revision, and the time was short, three or four months.

Ye Wei thinks it's no problem, the script has been changed almost, everything can be shot in a week for the reshoot, and two months for post-production is enough, and it can be completed in mid-May, but the school has to ask for more leave.

"Well, we're going to run 'Dance of Angels' next month on Nickelodeon, they're meant to be on the air, it's going to work. However, when you start to appear in the public eye, life may be very different from now on, so be prepared. ”

"I'll arrange at least one newspaper interview for you, so you don't have to feel too much pressure, and I'll teach you how to deal with the media during this time. ”

Brian and Leslie said one after another, their plans were actually the same as those of Lovett and ibuprofen, but their tone was much more comfortable, not smiling, but more sincere and considerate of his feelings.

Ye Wei really began to like this team, although he also maintained a certain degree of guard.

He smiled confidently: "I was ready for a long time, maybe I was born well, I'm a genius, haha!"

Hanks remembered Spielberg's saying that Ye Wei was a natural communicator with age-defying communication skills, and I wonder what he would do when he faced the media?

When it was close to noon, everyone left the conference room, they were in a good mood, and the intention of cooperation was already very clear.

After that day, and for more than a week, Attorney Salton was so busy that he almost passed out several times, and several contracts had to be negotiated, drawn up, and examined.

Including the joint venture contract between Dream Chaser Alliance and Pretong for the "Little Sunshine Beauty" project, the joint venture reproduction contract between Weiduo Image and Pretong for "The Wedding is Coming", Ye Wei as the producer and director of these two projects, Ye Wei signed the agency contract of CAA agent Ryan Sberley, and Ye Wei signed the PR contract of Leslie Dart.

This time, Attorney Salton did not allow himself to make any more mistakes, and in the process of formulating contracts with several different opposing lawyers, he cheered up his spirit, showed his momentum, and beat the heart of the gold medal lawyer!

The clear terms should be clear, and the rights and interests that should be protected should be protected, no matter what the other party is.

A good lawyer is like a vicious dog, if you can't win, you will be bitten and injured!

But then again, this CAA brokerage contract and this Dart team public relations contract are really treasures that countless middle-level and low-level people in the entertainment industry dream of, and the people in charge are two company executives!

And originally signed a public relations team, you have to pay the other party's salary at your own expense, public relations is not 1o% Mr., how much work you do, how much money you do.

For a big man like Leslie Dart, Ye Wei gave her two million a year, and she was not uncommon.

But because he is in another situation, the creation of a new star, so the two sides adopted the method of deferred payment.

The first three years are to make weeks, Ye Wei has to give Leslie a salary of 5o yuan every year, this money will be accumulated, and he will start to pay when he has the "ability to pay", the specific situation is that he will start to pay after he has received a film project with a salary of 1oo yuan.

From the fourth year onwards, depending on his annual income, the annual public relations fee of 1oo-2oo yuan is determined, and in any case, he is not allowed to change the public relations team for the next five years, unless he pays a high liquidated damages of more than 10 million.

If in the fifth year, Ye Wei still has no ability to pay the remuneration, it means that the star-making team has failed, and the Dart team has the right to terminate the contract, and Ye Wei does not need to pay the arrears.

So this is an eight-year plan, which is equivalent to Leslie investing 3oo in him, hoping to reap tens of millions of returns and a star customer.

There is also such a special clause in the brokerage contract, Ye Wei cannot change the broker within five years from the signing of the contract, otherwise he will have to compensate for millions of liquidated damages.

These terms are not excessive, they only ensure the interests of Leslie and Brian, and they also have to watch out for the situation where they have managed to grow a sapling into a big tree, and the big tree kicks them out of the way.

In fact, these are two generous contracts, and I don't know how much I have to envy to death, and I have been in the entertainment industry for many years but are still unknown little people!

You are generous because Ye Wei's age is there, he will only be 21 years old in five years, and he will only be 24 years old in eight years.

In the face of this fact, lawyer Salton was very emotional, you said that if you succeed in making stars and build a good relationship, how many years can we still cooperate? And his mysterious business potential, who knows what his annual income will be in five years?

Otherwise, the two big men would ignore him.

On the other hand, Ye Wei's rights and interests are also protected by many clauses, including but not limited to the "work effectiveness" of the agent and the public relations team, ensuring that after he signed a contract with them, they did not throw him into the trash can on the side, but really built him.

How to judge the "work effectiveness" involves another thing: Q score.

Launched in 1964 by marketing-eva1uations, the Q score is a scoring mechanism that calculates the reputation of celebrities in various industries (entertainment, sports, politics, etc., including presidents).

For example, if you are an interviewee from an ME company, the investigator asks you, "Do you know Ye Wei?" and what do you think of him?"

You have six options to choose from, from highest to lowest: "One of my favorites", "Very good", "Good", "Average", "He's just a poor (or inferior) guy", "Never heard of this guy". The first three options produce a positive Q score, while the last three options produce a negative Q score.

The level of the Q score indicates a lot, such as popularity, attention, public love, attractiveness, and influence...... To put it bluntly, it's worth it!

Since 1964, the Q score is the most authoritative and scientific way to judge the fame of a public figure.

Usually a first-line TV star will have a positive Q score of about 3o, a first-line movie star, around 4o points, and a superstar like Tom Hanks has been above 5o points for many years, and Hanks occupies the list almost every year: 57 points, 56 points, 58 points......

Only the President of the United States, Michael Jordan and other figures of the level have the strength to compete with him.

Now Ye Wei's positive and negative Q scores are o, and he is not in the investigation list of me company at all.

The contract clearly stipulates that if his positive Q score does not reach 1o within one year, and does not reach 2o within three years (this number means that he is a small star), and any negative Q score exceeds 3o, it will be determined that the brokerage and public relations team are negligent, and Ye Wei has the right to terminate the contract without any liquidated damages.

But then it can also be said that if Ye Wei doesn't want to be a loser in a few years, he has to work hard, cooperate well, and improve his positive Q score!

It's like playing an online game called "Star Dream", he is still just a prospective player who hasn't even created a character yet, and soon, he will create the character "Genius Boy Ye Wei", and then he will practice to level 1o in a year, and level 2o in three years, the higher the better!

The higher the level, the more a character, the more commercially valuable, the more powerful and powerful!

Winners, losers, idols, passers-by, almost all depend on Q scores!

Wednesday, February 11th, a great day, the day of the signing.

To be able to sign the contract so quickly, I really want to thank the previous Willis team for paving the way and the sincere attitude of both parties.

"I'm so excited, I'm about to get a contract!"

As if going back to a month ago, Ye Wei sent an identical text message to the members of the Dream Chasing Alliance and many people. The people who read the text messages all smiled happily and looked forward to the belated good news......
