Chapter 222: Recommended

After listening to Lu Zonghao's words, Zhou Yanfa fell into a short contemplation.

So far, Hong Kong Island's box office record has been set by "Junior Brother" starring Cheng Long, which has reached more than 8 million, and it is still rising, and breaking 10 million is just around the corner.

However, not all actors on Hong Kong Island have the influence of Cheng Long, and in the 80-year box office rankings, "Funny Times", which ranked fourth, sold 5.18 million, "Salted Fish Reborn" ranked tenth was 3.28 million, and "Mountain Dog" ranked 20th was only 2.28 million.

This year, at least 50 or 60 movies were shot on Hong Kong Island, but only four of them were able to reach 5 million at the box office, and many of them lost money.

And Lu Zonghao said that the next five movies that Zhou Yunfa starred in in a row all invested more than 5 million, indicating that these movies are all big productions with excellent content.

If Zhou Runfa enters the film industry and can get this kind of resource tilt, but he can't gain a firm foothold, it really means that he is not suitable for this circle.

Whether it is a wireless station or the Shaw brothers who pick and search, it is impossible to invest such a large amount of resources to support Zhou Yanfa's transformation, so in the face of Lu Zonghao's proposal, he is really moved.

It's just that according to Lu Zonghao, although Zhou Runfa can get resource tilt, he is actually working for the other party for nothing, which is equivalent to the other party squeezing his own labor force and using his fame to make money, but his salary has been pressed to a very pitiful level.

Zhou Yunfa is very short of money.

In the past, he was just an ordinary artist on TVB, and his popularity was very low.

But with Shanghai Tang making him popular, he has reached the level of household name and well-known in Shanghai.

With his status and status, the quality of life naturally has to keep up, he has to buy things such as houses and cars, and he has to pay attention to his external image, and when he attends some high-end occasions, he can no longer wear cheap clothes bought in the mall.

In short, Zhou Yunfa needs to package himself.

And all of this needs to be supported by money.

He filmed six movies for Lu Zonghao in a row, which is equivalent to handing over all his time in the next two or three years to the other party, and Zhou Yunfa is currently just a traffic niche, and he is not on the side of the powerful faction, at least for now, he eats youth.

People's youth is only a few years, Zhou Yanfa doesn't know how long he can be popular, when he is popular, he gambles on a few years of youth and only gets a million salary, which is indeed too little for him.

Lu Zonghao saw Zhou Yanfa's hesitation, and without waiting for him to continue to put forward conditions, he added: "For the next five movies, in addition to the fixed salary, you can get a net profit of 10%, and the income is linked to the box office." ”

"You're saying that as an actor, I became a shareholder in a play?"

Zhou Yunfa was a little surprised by Lu Zonghao's plan: "Hong Kong Island did not have this kind of signing method before. ”

"If I bring it up, won't it be there?"

Lu Zonghao smiled: "This plan, we are both gambling, I bet that I will invest tens of millions of dollars, and I can make you an actor who is also popular in the film industry." ”

Zhou Yunfa reminded: "According to your plan, if you invest more than 5 million in each drama, you must at least ensure that the box office of the films made is in the top two." ”

Lu Zonghao smiled: "This is where you want to gamble." ”

Zhou Yanfa pondered for a moment, and didn't dare to put all his commemorative youth on a new company that had just been established, and said: "Infernal Affairs, according to the salary you said, I took 200,000 yuan, as for the next cooperation, let's take a look at the results of Infernal Affairs first, is it okay?" ”

"Of course."

The reason why Lu Zonghao wants to cooperate with Zhou Yunfa is because they, a newly established company, really need a pillar to support the faΓ§ade, and Chow Yun-fat, who has its own popularity but has no background in the film industry, is naturally the best choice.

Zhou Yanfa saw that Lu Zonghao agreed to his plan, and then added: "In addition, we have to sign a confidentiality agreement between us, and the matter of me helping you film with 200,000 yuan must be kept strictly confidential and cannot be leaked out." ”

"Yes."

Lu Zonghao stretched out his palm: "Mr. Zhou, happy cooperation!" ”

Ren Dahua saw that Lu Zonghao and Zhou Yunfa had reached a cooperation, and Mao Sui recommended himself on the side: "Mr. Lu, I really like this Infernal Affairs script, can you arrange a role for me?" As for the salary, we can all discuss. ”

When Lu Zonghao was dating Zhou Runfa today, he didn't know that he could bring Ren Dahua, according to his original plan, he was going to let Zhou Runfa and Lu Liangwei co-star to reproduce the rivalry between the two in Shanghai.

And the appearance of Ren Dahua gave Lu Zonghao a new idea, he thought about it for a while, and said to Ren Dahua: "The salary is 100,000 yuan, but I can't give you the same cooperation agreement as Mr. Zhou, if we continue to cooperate, the future salary can be renegotiated." ”

Ren Dahua is currently just a newcomer in the circle, and the salary for a drama is usually 3 to 50,000 yuan, Lu Zonghao's salary for Zhou Yanfa is very low, but he is very generous to Ren Dahua.

The reason why he set this condition was not Ren Dahua, but his brother Ren Darong, who served in Oji.

Today's Ren Dahua is just a newcomer in the film industry, if Lu Zonghao can pull him to his own company to cultivate, if the company encounters any trouble in the future, this relationship can also become a guarantee.

Ren Dahua had no objection to Lu Zonghao's salary, because his family conditions were much stronger than Zhou Yanfa's, so he asked: "Mr. Lu, what role do you think I can play in this drama?" ”

Since Lu Zonghao moved his mind to win over, he naturally made a bloody investment: "Of the two leading actors in the play, Mr. Zhou will choose first, and the rest will be yours." ”

Zhou Yunfa flipped through the script: "I choose Chen Yongren, his identity is an undercover police agent, which is a positive image, which is very helpful for my transformation." ”

"Okay, then I'll play Liu Jianming! Thank you, Mr. Lu, for giving me this opportunity! ”

Ren Dahua likes this script very much, and he is excited to get the role of the leading actor.

Zhou Yanfa accepted Lu Zonghao's offer, and then continued to ask: "Mr. Lu, I still have a few questions, the first is when will this movie start filming?" As for the director and other main actors of this show, what are your plans? ”

Lu Zonghao smiled: "This movie has just entered the preparation stage, to be honest, my plan is to prepare to talk to you first, and then take your starring contract to talk to others." ”

Zhou Yan heard the words and said: "Film is a visual art, the script is important, but the director and actors are also indispensable, if you believe me, I can help you recommend a few people." ”
