Chapter 244: I'm not optimistic
Wu Jie doesn't want to be paid but dividends?
It's not a box office dividend, it's a profit dividend.
This was undoubtedly unexpected by Zhang Sheng.
"Let's take a look!" Wu Jie said, "What if the box office explodes? I may be able to make a lot of money like Mr. Dong. If it's really done in vain, you can do whatever work your company has in the future. ”
"Why don't you talk to the company?" Zhang Sheng said.
"My contract with the company is about to expire." Wu Jie said, "Where does the company have the heart to care about me." ”
"Really?" Zhang Sheng then asked, "When will it expire and will there be a destination?" Why don't you come to Changsheng Entertainment? ”
"This," Wu Jie was silent for a moment, and said, "I have to go back and ask my agent for his opinion, he is talking to other companies about this during this time." ”
If it's just a movie, do a friend a favor.
But if you sign a company, it is involved in future development.
Wu Jie had to be cautious.
He has a good personal relationship with Zhang Sheng.
But that's just a personal relationship.
What's more, it's not like he hasn't been cheated by his friends.
No matter how good a friend is, if it involves interests, then it may be difficult to say.
Wu Jie obviously didn't think that his relationship with Zhang Sheng was close to putting his interests aside.
"Okay!"
Zhang Sheng nodded.
He naturally understands Wu Jie's actions very well.
If he said so, he would immediately agree, then Wu Jie would not be able to go in the circle now.
Maybe you will be eaten to the bones.
However, if you want to sign Wu Jie into the company, Zhang Sheng really doesn't mean it.
Wu Jie is not as cold as he said he is now.
Kung fu films and martial arts films are in decline, and action actor films seem to be decreasing.
But a senior action dream like Wu Jie is still very marketable.
He didn't renew his contract with the company, not because the company gave up on him.
Instead, the two sides did not come along.
The company couldn't give Wu Jie what he wanted.
And Zhang Sheng believes that Changsheng Entertainment can afford it.
Wu Jie is also worth giving.
Of course, if the asking price exceeds the bottom line of Changsheng Entertainment, then the transaction is not benevolent.
"It's no problem to get profit dividends." Zhang Sheng said, "As for how much to take, we need to discuss." ”
Wu Jie wants to make a profit and dividends, and Zhang Sheng naturally will not refuse.
Night. Shop", Zhang Sheng still has some confidence, but he has no confidence in "Source Code" at all.
No loss of money, and self-confidence.
It's hard to say how much you can earn.
Wu Jie is naturally willing to take this risk, why would Zhang Sheng refuse?
Someone is willing to share the risk, that is, someone reduces the risk for him.
Even if the film is a big hit, it is because people take risks.
Earn money, that's how it should be.
With Wu Jie's current salary quotation, if he is the leading actor, how can it reach 10 million.
Zhang Sheng's invitation to a friend is estimated to ask for a friendship price.
But if you get dividends, how high is the box office?
The cost of the original production of Source Code is not of great value.
The budget given by the company is about 50 million.
Among them are Wu Jie and Gu Sisi's salaries.
Gu Sisi's salary is much higher than Wu Jie's now.
The salary of the two basically has to go to half of the budget.
Zhang Sheng, the director, does not get paid, but directly gets dividends.
With an investment of 50 million, a box office of more than 100 million can pay off.
If Wu Jie pays dividends and gets 20% of the profit, then the box office profit of the film will have to exceed 50 million.
The box office is less than 300 million, don't think about it!
But can such a science fiction film reach a box office of 300 million?
Apparently hanging.
At least in the eyes of many, it is impossible.
Wu Jie nodded.
Actors don't want to be paid, and how much dividends they get naturally needs to be discussed.
It's nothing more than asking for a sky-high price and paying back the money on the spot.
There was no need for the two of them to bargain.
However, Wu Jie wants profit dividends, not box office dividends.
Profit dividend, which is the dividend after deducting the original.
It's all profitable, so it's naturally easy to talk about.
After all, people not only participate in the show, but also participate in the publicity.
How much dividends the company will give, Zhang Sheng does not know.
And after learning that Wu Jie would not be paid, Gu Sisi also said that he would not take it.
The two leading actors do not get paid.
Then the cost of the film is directly reduced by half.
Changsheng Entertainment is naturally happy to do so.
The company is clearly not optimistic about the film either.
And what about Zhang Sheng?
That's a bit complicated.
He was also a little unconvinced.
Why are you so disoptimistic about my new film?
Wu Jie doesn't get paid, and he has a bit of a direct favor.
This has the idea of paving the way for the future.
Gu Sisi, that's not to mention.
There was a meaning of friendship before, and I didn't plan to pay much at all.
"Actually, I'm quite optimistic about the box office of this movie." Zhang Sheng said.
Not to mention the big hit, it's still easy to make money.
After all, the domestic market is getting bigger and bigger.
And this movie will be released abroad, so you should be able to look forward to it.
The original box office may not have much reference value, but it can also be inferred from the market response that some films have box office.
"I guess I'm optimistic about it." Gu Sisi said, "If you weren't the largest shareholder of Changsheng Entertainment, it is estimated that you would not be able to attract investment." You're investing purely on your own right now. Also, when did you estimate the box office of a movie? ”
Zhang Sheng pouted.
He couldn't deny it.
The company is indeed not optimistic.
Of course, there is no opinion on the establishment of this movie.
There is a risk, but it is estimated that you will not lose much money.
What's more, there is also the possibility of earning.
Waste of time?
I can't talk about it.
At the very least, you can use it to train your team.
The company is not optimistic, Wu Jie and Gu Sisi, the male and female protagonists, are not optimistic, and fans are probably even less optimistic.
"Then you still don't get paid?" Zhang Sheng said with a smile.
"I don't believe you in this movie, but I believe in you!" Gu Sisi smiled, "Since your debut, you don't seem to have tried to fail. ”
"So you're going to taste it with me this time?" Zhang Sheng said, "Then are you ready to say words of comfort and encouragement?" ”
"Do you still need to prepare for this?" Gu Sisi paused for a moment and said.
She really thinks so.
As for how much money is lost as a result?
She didn't care.
She is not short of money.
Her family is not short of money.
Zhang Sheng is too smooth, and it may not be a bad thing for him to make a mistake.
Gu Sisi obviously also thinks that the continuous success has made Zhang Sheng inflated.
How can a person who does not have swelling make a science fiction film.
And it's still such a hasty decision.
By the way?
Look how you understand it.
Since Zhang Sheng's debut, he has encountered many obstacles.
For example, when he participated in "Bright Star", he was targeted by Chen Yuhang.
But even if he encountered such obstacles, he never encountered failures along the way, not even setbacks.
Chen Yuhang and the others didn't cause him any trouble at all.
Isn't that too smooth?
"It's good if you're not prepared, it's a waste of time." Zhang Sheng said, "That's definitely not going to happen." ”
"You're so confident." Gu Sisi said.
"I've always been." Zhang Shengdao.
"That's right." Gu Sisi said with a smile.
She just likes Zhang Sheng's self-confidence.
Confident men are full of charm.
And Zhang Sheng seems to be full of confidence in everything.
"Thai Embarrassment" is about to start, and "Source Code" is also in preparation.
"The Legend of Sword and Fairy" is about to be broadcast, and Zhang Sheng, Gu Sisi and others inevitably have to run a little publicity to build momentum for the promotion of this show.
At this point, Zhang Sheng is still very positive.
In order to act in this drama well, he didn't put a lot of effort into it.
If this drama is successful, I think he will have a stronger sense of achievement.
What's more, this is not only the first drama he starred in, but also the first drama of Changsheng Entertainment.
Significant.
Nanhu Satellite TV's variety show, she and Gu Sisi basically went on it all over again.
"Is this drama the love work of the two of you?"
participated in a talk show, and the host asked Zhang Sheng and the two.
"How?" Zhang Sheng said, "This drama is finished, and the two of us are not together yet." ”
Nanhu Satellite TV: Is this trying to fry a "love work"?
Zhang Sheng naturally would not cooperate.
After propaganda all the way, Zhang Sheng and Gu Sisi became dissatisfied with Nanhu Satellite TV.
Because no matter which show they participate in, they will always hype up this drama with their relationship.
Endless.
Neither of them seems to be very willing to do so now.
After all, this drama really has nothing to do with their relationship.
"Then filming this drama should help you stay together, right?" The moderator then asked.
Zhang Yu did not answer.
Was it helpful?
He didn't know.
"There are still some!" Gu Sisi said, "The filming cycle of this drama is not short, and the more contact time there is, the more I naturally know about him." ”
"He is one of the investors in this show." Gu Sisi said, "But he is very dedicated to the crew."
"Bosses always care more about profits and losses than employees." Zhang Sheng said, "Is there such a possibility, my dedication is not how high my professional ethics are, but that I am afraid of losing money if I don't shoot well." ”
"Seems to make sense." Gu Sisi nodded and said, "I had a little affection for you during that time, but now it seems that you have been deceived." ”
"How can this be considered a deception?" Zhang Sheng said, "I didn't lie to you, it was the result of your own brain supplement." But then again, even if I'm not an investor, I'm going to be very dedicated. ”
"Dedication, I don't think it's a commendable character." Zhang Sheng said, "Professional ethics is the basic quality that every practitioner should have. It doesn't matter if it's an actor, or. Compere. ”
The host paused for a moment, with the illusion of being offended.
He seems to be hinting at himself.
Yes, it is.
As for why?
How could the host not have guessed?
Before taking the stage, there was no question he had raised earlier in the script.
Even Zhang Sheng even mentioned that: Don't hype up their relationship.
The host smiled awkwardly, looked at Gu Sisi, and said, "During the filming, you have a slight impression of him, it should not be just because of his dedication, right?" ”
"Maybe it's a little unexpected, so I'm impressed." Gu Sisi said, "Of course, what impressed me the most was his grasp of the role. ”
"I used to collaborate with him on "Night. Shop", his acting skills well, that's it. Gu Sisi continued, "But when I was filming "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", I suddenly felt pressure, and I felt a little pressed by him. ”
"I have doubts in my heart, and I can't figure it out." Gu Sisi said, "However, I later heard Director Li say that he wrote a biography of more than 100,000 words."
