138. The distressed Zhou Xingxing
Last month, Zhou Xingxing's actor level had already entered the level of a first-class actor, and Mo Wen's salary for him was also 20 million, but of the 20 million, the Earth Studio had to take 10 million.
This is the contract signed when Zhou Xingxing was dug up, and the division between Earth Studio and Zhou Xingxing is fifty-five.
Generally speaking, when an actor reaches the first-class level, he will basically negotiate terms with the agency and sign a new contract, after all, the earning power of a first-class actor is already terrifying, and if the agency still wants to take the lion's share, it will make the actors dissatisfied.
Because, first-class actors already have the ability to negotiate terms with the brokerage company, if they can't negotiate, this first-class actor will basically find a way to change jobs, or if he has money, he will pay for the liquidated damages, and then go out to open a studio by himself.
Therefore, first-class actors will basically negotiate with the agency and sign new contracts.
However, Zhou Xingxing's situation is different.
At the beginning, Mo Wen made it very clear to Zhou Xingxing that Mo Wen would support Zhou Xingxing with all his might, and it was even possible to praise Zhou Xingxing as the emperor's superstar, but Zhou Xingxing's brokerage contract with Earth Studio would always be fifty-fifty. Earth Studio does not take advantage of Zhou Xingxing, and Zhou Xingxing does not take advantage of Earth Studio, and both sides take half of it.
It's just that Zhou Xingxing didn't take Mo Wen's words seriously at all, he was a young actor who was not at the level of the stream, and became a superstar? This is a dream that Zhou Xingxing never dared to dream of.
In addition, Zhou Xingxing felt that the conditions given by Mo Wen were really good, after all, which brokerage company would give his non-mainstream artists a fifty-fifty share, even if the liquidated damages were outrageously high, but Zhou Xingxing still signed the contract.
Now Zhou Xingxing has suddenly become a first-class actor from a first-class actor, and his income has increased a hundredfold all of a sudden, from one hundred or two hundred thousand at the beginning, to one or two hundred million now.
This is something that Zhou Xingxing didn't expect, and now Zhou Xingxing slowly believes that Mo Wen can praise him to the level of a superstar.
It's just that now that Earth Studio has to take away so much of the salary share all of a sudden, it is impossible to say that Zhou Xingxing is not distressed.
But Zhou Xingxing didn't dare to have other thoughts, because after all, there was a contract there, and such a high liquidated damages were not something Zhou Xingxing could afford at all, and no brokerage company could come up with so many liquidated damages to poach Zhou Xingxing.
Even if there is no such thing as liquidated damages, Zhou Xingxing will not regret it.
Because, Zhou Xingxing knows that everything he is doing now is given by Mo Wen, and he must know how to be grateful, without Mo Wen, there would be no him Zhou Xingxing today, he Zhou Xingxing has gained enough.
Moreover, just like Mo Wen said at the beginning, he Mo Wen can hold you Zhou Xingxing, as long as you are disobedient, then he Mo Wen can step on your Zhou Xingxing again.
With Mo Wen's current status in the entertainment industry, as long as he lets out the rumors, it is still very easy to say that he wants to ban Zhou Xingxing, and then no director and entertainment company will dare to cooperate with Zhou Xingxing.
What's more, Zhou Xingxing in this world is not as talented as the star master on the earth, and he can stand on his own and rise on his own. At that time, Zhou Xingxing can only slowly disappear from the public.
Moreover, even if Zhou Xingxing is a first-class actor now, his salary will not reach 20 million, at most more than 10 million, and his fame and fans cannot be compared with a top first-class star like Yang Dami.
Now he can get a salary of 20 million, which Mo Wen specially explained, so that Zhou Xingxing can get a salary of 10 million, even if the personal income tax is deducted, there are several million, which is only higher than the salary obtained in other brokerage companies.
Moreover, if you follow Mo Wen to make a movie, you can shoot one movie a month, which makes money at a speed that other brokerage companies can't catch up with by rocket.
So what else is Zhou Xingxing dissatisfied?
Therefore, Zhou Xingxing was not at all dissatisfied with Earth Studio's 10 million salary, but was just a little distressed.
After all, at this rate, every year I will be paid 100 million yuan by Earth Studio, which is something that everyone will feel distressed about.
Speaking of Tang Bohu's investment in Qiuxiang, Yang Dami's salary is 20 million, and Zhou Xingxing's salary is 20 million. Mei Zuer's salary was filmed at that time, and each group was still a third-rate actor, and the salary was 500,000.
However, now Mei Zuer has become a second-rate actor, after all, Mei Zuer had a high-quality TV series before, and now she has participated in Mo Wen's two popular movie heroines, which allows Mei Zuer to have one high-quality work and two popular works, so that Mei Zuer has three works above the boutique level at once, and the level naturally did not become a stream-level actor when the two were divided.
In the future, Mei Zuer's salary will also reach the level of millions.
As long as she has the opportunity to play the heroine in Mo Wen's movie again next time, then she Mei Zuer will also have three hit-level movie works, and at that time, as long as she Mei Zuer has a certain number of fans, she will be able to become a first-class actor
Coupled with the tens of thousands of salaries of other actors, the salary of this Tang Bohu is as high as 46 million, plus the crew's expenses and 4 million for renting the venue, as well as 10 million publicity funds and 20 million post-production costs.
This Tang Bohu points to autumn fragrance, and the total investment has reached the point of 80 million.
Tang Bohu's income from Qiuxiang is 2.03 billion, and after deducting the investment of 80 million, the final net profit has reached the point of 1.95 billion, which is simply grabbing money.
What's more, there is not so much that it really spends, after all, Earth Studio has shared Zhou Xingxing's 10 million salary, which is the income on the surface.
As for the 20 million post-production costs that hit Mo Wen's overseas account, it was not made public, and it was not counted for the time being.
But even so, Mo Wen has earned enough.
In addition, now that the New Year has just ended, in order to let everyone have a good mental state in the new year, Mo Wen immediately called Chi Yujia and asked her to take out the 10 million from Zhou Xingxing's salary and wrap a big red envelope for everyone.
As for the celebration banquet, Mo Wen still didn't plan to open it.
Although, this time Tang Bohu ordered Qiuxiang to win this year's box office championship, and also broke Mo Wen's own highest box office record, if you want to celebrate the banquet, there is definitely enough reason.
