"Didn't you tell them that the star of our movie is Mimi?"

Xu Nan asked Liu Yangdao

Liu Yang smiled bitterly: "I said it, but their condition is that they must increase their salary, otherwise they don't want to participate in the movie even if they have Mimi starring." ”

Xu Nan immediately shook his head: "Then forget it, let's replace it with someone else." ”

Although I had a lot of fun working with these actors before, they had to pay a high salary, so it could only be counted.

The cost of movies must be compressed, and this kind of movie, the main focus is a strange and thunderous person, and it is impossible to spend a lot of money like those big productions.

If the cost is high, it is better to make a blockbuster

The production cost of two million is already very high, and the cost of a "Sharknado" from Renjia Pictures is less than one million dollars, and it was shot in the country where the price is extremely high.

Even a first-line star like Mimi, he is not willing to give a high salary, let alone these little actors. Of course, Xu Nan also understands them.

"Captain China", a film with a box office of one billion yuan and the third in film history, not only made him a big director in the circle, but also made the actors participating in this movie gain a jump in status.

Participating in a movie with a box office of more than one billion, even if it is a trick in it, is a great qualification.

These people have played an important role in it, and their fame has soared, and they are no longer the unknown people they were at the beginning.

With their qualifications and fame, they are definitely qualified to be called stars and star in some big productions and normal movies.

Remuneration is also sure to explode.

At this time, it is normal for them to not be able to watch the low-paid movies that Xu Nan provided them.

There is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, and it can only be said that the two sides are not suitable for continued cooperation.

I had to give up.

It's good to get together and disperse, and if you have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future, this is also the norm in the circle.

"In that case, when the film is almost ready, we can cast through an interview." Xu Nan said in a deep voice.

The core of this movie is Mimi and him, except for the two of them, the others are tool people, and they can be replaced at any time.

Three-legged toads are hard to find, and two-legged actors are.

Tens of thousands of actors graduate in China every year, most of them can't find a crew to act, the supply exceeds demand, and there is no shortage of actors in the circle.

To put it mildly, you can't afford to hire a migrant worker for 200 yuan, but you can definitely find a good actor.

And the newcomer is obedient and has a good attitude, much better than the old actor.

With Xu Nan's current fame, let newcomers and young actors star in his movies, and these people are probably willing to pay money.

Of course, he will definitely not do such a tasteless thing, and the salary he should be given still has to be given.

Even if it's a small salary, it must be given.

"Okay, Mr. Xu." Liu Yang nodded.

He doesn't think it's a big deal that those old actors don't cooperate, in this circle, resources are scarce, and there is absolutely no shortage of actors.

When the news is released, the threshold will be broken.

Next, Xu Nan and Liu Yang discussed some miscellaneous matters of the company.

After the discussion, Xu Nan patted Liu Yang on the shoulder and said emotionally.

"Lao Liu, do you remember that the company's first movie failed and almost went bankrupt."

Infected by Xu Nan's tone, Liu Yang couldn't help but be a little moved: "Of course I remember, it's only been half a year." ”

"At that time, all the employees of the company were gone, and there were only two of us left."

"At that time, we couldn't even afford to rent an office space, so we had to find a random rental house as an office location, and work while sleeping."

Looking back at the beginning, Liu Yang felt like he was in a dream.

In just half a year, Xu Nan has made Summit Film and Television change from a small company on the verge of bankruptcy to a large company in the circle, and has also made a movie with a box office of more than one billion.

This is simply a legend, the kind that movies dare not make.

If it weren't for the fact that he was an eyewitness, he wouldn't have believed that this had happened in just half a year.

"That's right, Mr. Xu." Liu Yang suddenly patted his head: "Do you still remember Lao Zhang?" ”

"Who?" Xu Nan asked.

"That's it, the last employee of the company to leave, all the employees of the company left at that time, and there were only three of us left, and he persevered with us for almost half a month."

"But in the end, he resigned, and it was Mr. Xu who did the resignation procedures for him."

"Brother Zhang, I remember." Xu Nan patted his head.

Half a year has passed, and his memory at that time is actually a little vague, but when Liu Yang said this, he did remember something.

Liu Yang sighed: "I met him some time ago, he was a staff member in a medium-sized film and television company, and his development was very average. ”

In fact, at that time, he also wanted to leave, and he had already begun to submit resumes to other companies.

The main reason is that the situation at Summit Film and Television was very bad at that time, and it was only one step away from bankruptcy, and everyone wanted to go.

He was just a little slower to react, and he didn't find a good next home, so he was reluctant to stay.

Unexpectedly, the difference between one thought and heaven and earth is different.

Thinking back to the beginning, I was just an ordinary little person in the circle, but after looking at myself who has now become a director and a character.

Liu Yang feels very lucky.

As for those who left at the beginning, their development is very average.

Especially Lao Zhang, his salary is much lower than him, he was yelled at, and when he reached middle age, he had to bend his waist for a mortgage.

It's like him, the house has been bought a long time ago, and the full payment doesn't need such a thing as a mortgage at all.

This is all the credit of Mr. Xu.

Xu Nan sighed: "Actually, I don't blame those people, after all, this is a real world, and everyone has to live." ”

"The company was going bankrupt at that time, everyone had their own families, and it was normal that they couldn't advance and retreat with the company."

Liu Yang nodded in agreement: "Yes, everyone has to live and survive, you really can't blame them, Mr. Xu, it's good for you to think so." ”

Xu Nan smiled and shook his head: "That's not the point. ”

"The point is that in times of crisis, a person's true character can be discerned."

"Everyone else is gone, but Liu Yang is left alone, I have always kept this love in my heart, and you are also my most trusted employee in the company."

Liu Yang said modestly: "No, no, no, this is what I should do, Mr. Xu, you don't need to care." ”

He was a little ashamed, a little embarrassed.

In fact, he was also planning to leave at the time, but he stayed by accident.

Then Mr. Xu filmed a porcelain movie, which exploded at the box office, and there was no need for him to leave.

"No," Xu Nan's expression was very serious: "Lu Yao knows the horsepower, and he has seen the hearts of the people for a long time, Liu Yang, you were with me in hardship at the beginning, I must repay this love." ”

"Let me ask you, do you want to be famous and become a well-known director?"
