Chapter 92: Trouble for His Family
Looking at Jin Yuping's smile, Chen Ange thought to himself how much darkness a person has to go through in order to practice such a good state of mind.
Duan Xi didn't seem to be surprised, and said, "Thank you Chairman Jin for your guidance, this will make us take many detours in the millennium." Miss Chen and I will ponder first, comprehensively consider the company's financial ability, and give you a clear answer before noon tomorrow. ”
"Mr. Duan is a cheerful person!"
Duan Xi then symbolically said that he would invite him to have a meal in the evening, which was actually a false courtesy, because Jin Yuping has so many familiar celebrities in the industry, how can it be the turn of the millennium to be the east.
Besides, Jin Yuping has to step up his lobbying of other companies to strive for a "bidding auction".
So Jin Yuping politely refused to leave.
Closing the door, Chen Ange sneered: "I have heard Jin Yuping's name for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be such a character." ”
"He is also an errand agent, who works for the big boss behind him."
"Then do you think we should invest in this award?"
"Cast it, the road is not familiar, and the next film may be stumbling. Who made "Peace Hotel" earn so much, there are a lot of eyes on it. But not too much, I recommend buying a regular prize. ”
Three heavyweight awards are too expensive, and one 5 million is too distressing.
The ordinary prize is 3 million, and in addition to this, the jury has to be given some "tea fees", and considering the rising tide effect that may be brought about by everyone's bidding, this is already about 5 million.
Chen Ange: "It's a pity that Mu Rou and Wu Dongpeng are so bad, Zhang Yunwei is actually qualified to impact the best director." ”
In fact, if you talk about real strength, whether it is Mu Rou or Wu Dongpeng, there is indeed a gap between them and some acting bigwigs this year. If you really buy it hard, the price will definitely have to soar.
In fact, Duan Xi didn't want to put Mu Rou in the position of the queen of the movie, but the money belonged to Chen Ange, and it didn't come out of his pocket.
He is only the second shareholder of Millennium Broadcasting, not Millennium Pictures.
Who knew that Chen Ange gritted his teeth and said: "If you want to play, you can play big, and you have to get the best male or female lead!" Money earned is spent and is considered an investment. ”
"The boss is so bright!" Duan Xi said with a smile, "If the bidding is higher after the bidding, plus the tea fee that the 'Most Commercial Value Award' needs to give to the jury, I'm afraid that in the end it will be seven or eight hundred, you think about it first." ”
That's almost as much as the cost of filming "Peace Hotel".
Chen Ange did not hesitate, she has always been unwavering when she makes up her mind.
Duan Xi said: "Actually, it's okay. If you win the actor or actress crown, the artist's influence will be greater, and various endorsement fees in the future can be appropriately increased, and some costs can be recovered. ”
"Are you happy now? Do you want to push Mu Rou? Chen Ange glanced at Duan Xi, and there seemed to be a special meaning floating in his eyes.
"You're the big boss, your employees have won awards, I'll be happy with you by the way......"
"Really?" Chen Ange pouted and said, "I'm not sure who to spend the money on, what if the boss is in a bad mood and wants to buy a Best Actor." ”
This is the power of someone to be the boss, after all, a few million dollars are smashed, which is not a small amount. Even if Duan Xi was selfish, he couldn't insist too much. But he felt that with his usual relationship, Chen Ange should be inclined to spend money on Mu Rou.
Unless she's too jealous.
Chen Ange: "The company's resources are limited, but I can't be too biased. If one is pushed, the other must at least be pushed into the circle of nominees. ”
can be nominated for the best leading role, and the value will increase a lot. But judging from Jin Yuping's appetite, it is estimated that the nominations for such heavyweight awards will be dozens or even millions.
And just then, there was another knock on the door. It can be said that Cao Cao Cao arrived, and this time it was Wu Dongpeng, the actor of "Peace Hotel", who came.
Seeing that Duan Xi was also there, Wu Dongpeng was slightly stunned, but considering the usual relationship between Chen Duan and the two, he did not shy away from it.
"Mr. Ge, I, I want to make a small request, it may be a little abrupt."
"Just say it, no outsiders."
"This time, can the company tilt some resources for me." Wu Dongpeng said bluntly, "I just heard an old friend from a foreign company say that without the support of the signing company, the possibility of an artist wanting to win the award is very small. Even, even if you want to be shortlisted, it takes a lot of investment. ”
Chen Ange frowned: "Yes, it should require a lot of investment." Especially for an actor like you, the competitive pressure is not ordinarily great. I just discussed with Consultant Duan, so we don't dare to say anything else, but at least we have to work hard to be shortlisted for the nomination award. ”
Wu Dongpeng: "Is it just a nomination?" ”
Chen Ange: "......"
Duan Xi said with a smile on the side: "Dongpeng, being nominated for nomination is a lot of investment. Of course, we will try our best to achieve higher goals, but the company can't promise too much in advance, right? ”
"But our box office has broken 100 million, and the company has earned at least 50 million...... And if you invest in your own signed artists, you will have a lot of returns from various endorsements. ”
Duan Xi and Chen Ange were very surprised, but they didn't expect Wu Dongpeng, who had always been indifferent, to have such a strong sense of victory after being impacted by the atmosphere of the movie holy land.
But the problem is that you can compete if you want to win, but let the company spend so much money for nothing, and don't ask for it.
Besides, the box office broke 100 million, what factors played the main role, as an important figure in the main creative team, don't you count it yourself?
There is no groundbreaking script story, no investment and shooting of the company, no contribution of Zhang Yunwei's team, especially no publicity and distribution methods like Duan Xi in the later stage, is it realistic to break 100 million?
But people are always accustomed to taking the support of the platform as their own strength.
Chen Ange: "Dongpeng, the company is still in its infancy after all, and a lot of money can't be spent lavishly." I'm here to assure you that we're going to win at least one nomination, how about it? ”
Originally, she was still struggling with whether to focus on the best actor or the best actress, but now that Wu Dongpeng has taken the initiative to ask for it, she doesn't want to give it!
I'm just pushing Mu Rou!
This is the little temper of the domineering female boss, and there is no other reason.
Wu Dongpeng's fiery eyes dimmed slightly, and he said, "In that case, Mr. Ge, do I want to modify the terms of the contract?" That is, recalculate the distribution ratio of advertising endorsements. ”
Originally, he, like Mu Rou, signed a 55-5 share of advertising endorsements. For example, the jewelry company's endorsement fee of 1.2 million, Mu Rou and Millennium Company each took 600,000.
Now, Wu Dongpeng suddenly proposed to revise the distribution ratio.
Chen Ange and Duan Xi became more and more surprised.
Wu Dongpeng hurriedly added: "You see, in terms of popularity, male artists naturally suffer a lot more than female artists, and the number and price of endorsements are much less than Mu Rou. If I can't hit the Best Actor, my income will be limited for the next two years, or even lower and lower. ”
Duan Xi's smile gradually rose: "Dongpeng, but the contract was signed on an equal footing in advance, this ratio is not the best in the industry, but at least it is very conscientious, right?" ”
What's more, when you signed the contract, it was before filming "Peace Hotel", what kind of Luotuo were you at that time, didn't you count it in your heart?
At that time, as an outdated star, as long as you were given the role of the starring role, even if the endorsement fee was only 10% for you, you would sign a contract in a hurry, right? But the millennium still gave you a fifty-fifty share.
Now that people are popular, are you going to change the contract soon?
And as long as one party is not satisfied, it will be modified at will, so where is the binding meaning of the contract?
Chen Ange's face turned cold. She admits that she has never been a bad boss and has always had enough kindness to her employees, but Wu Dongpeng's performance seems to deny all this.
But Duan Xi knew that if he fell out with Wu Dongpeng at this time, it would obviously be very unwise!
This is the eve of the Golden Phoenix Award ceremony, and it is a moment of great attention, if there are rumors of conflicts between the actor of "Peace Hotel" and the signing company at this time, what will others think? What would you think of Millennium Pictures' jokes?
At such a critical time, this is the pillar artist of your Millennium Pictures?
So without waiting for Chen Ange to say something unpleasant, Duan Xi threw a cigarette at Wu Dongpeng, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"Brother, in fact, these things should not be mentioned at this time. But since you brought it up, the company won't fail to consider it. So, I suggest that the song always modify the terms, four or six points, what does the song always think? ”
Chen Ange said coldly: "It's also the starring role, it's been modified here, what do people Mu Rou say over there?" ”
Duan Xi: "I'll do her job." ”
In fact, Duan Xi knew that Mu Rou didn't care about this, she just said this to Wu Dongpeng.
Wu Dongpeng may not have expected Chen Duan and the two to agree so easily, but he had nothing to say, so he was a little stunned, so he said, "Thank you, Mr. Ge, thank you Consultant Duan", and hurriedly said goodbye with embarrassment.
……
"What the hell!" After the door closed, Chen Ange's mood became more and more irritable.
Since entering Shangjing, he first saw Wan Muqiu wanted, then was hostile to Blizzard Pictures, and then was asked by Jin Yuping for a large amount of sponsorship fees, and now even his own artists are in trouble. It's been a long time, and it's all a nuisance.
Duan Xi: "Wu Dongpeng is usually not this character, and he doesn't even have this IQ. I wonder if he was instigated by someone. ”
"It's not impossible," Chen Ange thought of Bi Yonglin, the general manager of Blizzard Pictures, digging into the wall in public before reporting for duty, and sneered, "It's a good thing that Blizzard Pictures has done." ”
"But at the moment of the ceremony, it's still important to be peaceful, it's about the company's image, don't let outsiders see the joke." Duan Xi said, "Also, I have to go out in the evening and ask Lao Wan about it." ”
"Then you stay safe! Lao Wan himself told you, don't get involved in these things, you will be crushed if you fall into it. ”
"But after all, it's Lao Wan who has an accident, how can I calm down."
