Ren Dahua was slapped in the face by himself.

He picked up the script on the table, and as soon as he glanced at the plot synopsis, he was deeply fascinated, and then he began to continue to look at it, especially when he saw the sentence in the line "Give me a chance, I want to be a good person", he couldn't help but exclaim: "Mr. Lu, can I take the liberty of asking, who wrote this script?" ”

Lu Zonghao smiled: "A rookie screenwriter in our company. ”

Ren Dahua looked at Lu Zonghao suspiciously: "A rookie screenwriter can write such a wonderful and profound script?" ”

Lu Zonghao showed a smile: "There will always be no shortage of talented people in this world, just like you and Mr. Zhou, who are naturally suitable to be actors." ”

Ren Dahua looked a little embarrassed in the face of Lu Zonghao's praise, and at the same time asked tentatively: "Mr. Lu, let me take the liberty of asking, has the cast of this drama been decided?" ”

"Our drama has just entered the preparation stage, and all the actors are vacant, which is why I invited Mr. Zhou."

Lu Zonghao turned his attention to Lu Zonghao: "The two leading actors of this drama, Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, you can choose one." ”

"I was really surprised by the quality of this script."

Although Lu Zonghao's way of inviting him over made Zhou Yunfa feel a little disgusted, he only watched a third of it, and found that the shooting method and line level of this script far exceeded the existing dramas, for an actor like him who is ready to transform from a TV series to a movie, this movie is indeed very suitable as his masterpiece.

Lu Zonghao lit a cigarette and said to Zhou Yunfa in the spraying clouds: "Mr. Zhou, a Shanghai beach has made you popular all over Hong Kong Island and Southeast Asia, but filming TV series on TVB is just a loss to make money, as far as I know, TVB are all contract artists, and their usual salaries are outrageously low, they are just a group of migrant workers who are active on the screen, and many artists who can't receive dramas also need to go out to work part-time, or even do odd jobs to support themselves, right?" ”

Zhou Yunfa responded: "You are talking about newcomers who have just entered the industry, or artists who have been hidden, and I signed a high-level contract, and my income is much higher than them." ”

"So what, no matter how high the price of the wireless station is for you, you are nothing more than a high-level worker, if you really want to gain fame and fortune, making movies is the way out."

Lu Zonghao sat up straight and said confidently: "With your current fame, I believe that there are countless people who ask you for movies every day, but I believe that none of the scripts sent to you can compare to my Infernal Affairs!" The reason why I invited you to star is because my friend's company has just been established and has very little influence in the industry, and I am working with you to borrow your own traffic, which is a win-win situation for us. ”

Zhou Yunfa looked at the script in his hand, thought for a while and said, "How much are you going to spend on me?" ”

Lu Zonghao stretched out his finger: "Two hundred thousand." ”

"Mr. Lu, I thought you should be very sincere when you came to talk to me about the script in person."

When Zhou Yanfa heard Lu Zonghao's offer, a flash of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Most of today's TVB ordinary artists only have a salary of two or three thousand per month, and even if there is filming, it will be doubled at most.

200,000 is not a small amount in this era, but in a place like Hong Kong Island, which is drunk on money, it is definitely not an astronomical amount.

With the hit of Shanghai Tang, Zhou Yunfa has undoubtedly become one of the popular students, and in the past half a year or so, the directors and film and television companies who have come to him to cooperate with him have almost never been less than 500,000 yuan.

And the quotation given by Lu Zonghao is only less than half of the average line.

Hong Kong Island's new star Cheng Long, who won the second place at the box office last year because of his filming of laughing boxing tricks, was favored by Jiahe Company, and the signing fee was raised from 2.4 million to 4.8 million.

It is precisely because of Cheng Long's sky-high signing fee that the era of high salaries for film and television actors on Hong Kong Island has begun.

Because of the characteristics of commercial films such as wider dissemination and faster wealth accumulation, the salaries of film actors have risen, and many wireless artists have jumped ship, all ready to take a share of the film industry.

Although Zhou Runfa is popular, he is a person in the TV drama circle, and the ratings don't cost money, compared with the real money in the film industry, it is a completely different path.

In recent years, there have been many artists on Hong Kong Island who have mixed well in the TV drama circle, and they have jumped ship to make movies, but most of them end up in the sea.

One of the two is on TV and the other is on the theater, which really confirms the saying that interlacing is like separating mountains.

It is precisely because of this that Zhou Yunfa will be extra careful in the choice of script, because his first movie will directly determine whether he can gain a foothold in this circle in the future.

Zhou Yunfa knew in his heart that Cheng Long could get a sky-high signing fee, because he was a person in the film industry and grew up in that circle.

And although he has not yet set foot in the film industry, his fame is here after all, and in the face of other people's invitations of five or six hundred thousand, seven or eight hundred thousand, there is no need for him to choose Lu Zonghao.

Although his scripts are particularly attractive, the scripts sent by others are not useless, and there are several scripts that make him more optimistic.

Lu Zonghao seemed to have guessed that Zhou Yanfa would be more resistant to the conditions he offered, so he cocked Erlang's legs and said: "Mr. Zhou, I think for you now, getting a script that can make you stand firm is far more important than the salary!" And you have to be clear that our script is not because you have to do it, but with your participation, it can be the icing on the cake. ”

Zhou Yanfa saw that Lu Zonghao said so desperately, frowned and said: "I really like this script, and I can also star in it, but I can't accept the salary you give, you want me to act in this drama, you need at least 500,000." ”

Lu Zonghao replied without refusal: "There are only 200,000, not a single cent, but we can sign a cooperation agreement." ”

Zhou Yunfa was a little curious: "Cooperation agreement? ”

"As long as you are willing to star in this drama, our company's next five movies will all be played by you as the male lead, and in addition to the salary, you can get 10% of the box office income."

Lu Zonghao paused: "And the cost of each of the dramas I mentioned will not be less than five million yuan!" ”
