After returning to China, although Wu Yuan still needs to keep an eye on the post-production of "Gravity", it is true that his work and life are much easier.

Liu Yifei was also idle, and before the release of "Those Years", there was no big work.

Both of them were a little salty.

Wu Yuan is on the line at two o'clock every day, only going back and forth between the company and his home.

Liu Yifei is even more excessive, she doesn't go out of the house directly, she becomes an otaku girl, she stays at home every day to watch movies or read books, and then does some exercise to maintain her figure.

Neither of them is the kind of fun-loving character.,I don't like to go to nightclubs and bars.,This kind of ordinary life is enjoyable.。

It's just that this calm was broken not long after.

After all, one of them is a big star and the other is a big director, and it is impossible to stay idle forever.

On August 15, Zhang Guorong's new movie "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" will hold its premiere in Beijing.

Wu Yuan and Liu Yifei also received invitations.

As their own people in their own company, they must be going to cheer.

Liu Yifei contacted the high-end brand to borrow dresses and jewelry, although Wu Yuan didn't have to be so troublesome, he had to prepare a little and put "Gravity" aside for the time being.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to August 15th.

The mood of anticipation filled Zhang Guorong's heart.

He sat in the theater infield, sorting out the bow tie around his neck while chatting with Liu Ye next to him.

"Yezi, are you nervous?"

Although he is a native of Hong Kong Island, Zhang Guorong has integrated well in the capital, and he has also learned Beijing films, and he calls him Ye Zi with Liu Ye's friends.

"I'm not nervous, are you nervous, director?" Liu Ye replied with a hippie smile.

Liu Ye, who has participated in big projects like "Wuji", has grown a lot now, and he is completely different from when he played mahjong at Wu Yuan's house.

The inferiority complex caused by the poverty of his family and the fact that he came to the capital to study at a very young age has long been lost in him, and has been replaced by self-confidence and high-spiritedness.

Fame can raise people!

Liu Ye, who has the Golden Rooster and Golden Horse Double Best Actor Trophy and was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film, is now called a self-confidence.

Of course, Zhang Guorong, who has more awards and achievements than him, is more confident.

The corner of his mouth smiled and said, "How come, I haven't experienced any big winds and waves?" Will you be nervous? ”

Zhang Guorong, who has not failed in transforming into a director, is more confident than Liu Ye.

Only Huang Bo, a pure newcomer, was nervous, and his hand in tidying up his suit couldn't help but tremble, and said with a wry smile: "It's still the director and Yezi who have the demeanor of a general." ”

"I'm so nervous, it's the first time I've acted in a movie with such a big investment."

Not to mention acting in a movie with an investment of 80 million yuan for the first time, even acting in a movie is still very novel to Huang Bo.

Although he mixed into the 02-level acting undergraduate class of the Beijing Film Academy, his acting career has not been smooth.

From 2001 to 2002, he participated in the TV series "Queen of Bigfoot", "Black Hole" and "The Girl in Red Mansions".

It wasn't until 2005 that he acted in a "Survival Migrant Worker", which can be regarded as the protagonist.

That is, Ning Hao had a discerning eye and asked him to shoot "Crazy Stone", which finally became famous, and suddenly received the movie "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Strange Guys".

To be honest, when Zhang Guorong found him and invited him to act in this movie, Huang Bo couldn't believe it, and his first thought was that it was a fraud.

Later, Zhang Guorong asked him to meet in person, and learned from Zhang Guorong that Wu Yuan actually recommended him to play this role, and Huang Bo was even more shocked.

I didn't expect a big director like Wu Yuan to pay attention to him as a little person!

Filming "Good Guys, Bad Guys, Weird Guys" is more motivated!

It's also strange to say, Wu Yuan is already a little late in "promoting" Huang Bo.

It stands to reason that heroes like Ning Hao and Huang Bo who are still impressed in recklessness, Wu Yuan should have brought them up earlier, and it was best to trick them into the company and make money for the company.

It's just that Wu Yuan himself is too fierce, and it only took a few years to get mixed into the world.

Ning Hao is the kind of character that is difficult to condescend to, since he debuted to make movies, he has been a husband and wife with his wife, engaged in an independent studio, and accepted cooperation with other capital, but he will not choose to be completely dependent on a certain company.

He would rather find investment from Beijing Film Studio and China Film than private capital such as Huayi and Light and Shadow Times, because he is afraid that he will lose his autonomy and become the "tool" of these private film companies, and he is a director with persistence.

So Wu Yuan was destined to be unable to urinate with Ning Hao in the same pot.

As for Huang Bo, Wu Yuan doesn't make comedies, at least not in China, and Huang Bo's appearance is still more suitable for comedies, and Wu Yuan naturally has no chance to cooperate with Huang Bo.

I have to say that this is a pity, anyway, Wu Yuan likes Huang Bo a lot, and he loves to watch his movies when he is in his dreams.

No, Wu Yuan, who took Liu Yifei to the premiere site first and quietly entered the cinema through the back door, as soon as he saw the main creative team, he skipped Zhang Guorong first, and hugged Huang Bo warmly.

Under Huang Bo's stunned and frightened eyes, Wu Yuan said with a smile: "Huang Bo, right, you played very well in "Crazy Stone", and you will have the opportunity to cooperate more with us in the light and shadow era in the future." ”

comedy, if you don't do it before, it doesn't mean that Wu Yuan won't do it in the future.

Movies like "Thai Embarrassment" and "Charlotte's Troubles", which sell a box office of more than ten or two billion at a low cost, are the same as picking up money, who doesn't want to do it?

It's just not time.

The current film market can only carry a single box office of 2-300 million, even if it is in 2008, it can be 4-500 million per film.

In this case, making comedies like "Thai Embarrassment" and "Charlotte's Troubles" is not a pure loss of money?

Yes, if you earn less, you lose money for the capitalists.

Especially this kind of comedy, whether it is made now or in a few years, the cost has basically not changed much, and it is better to shoot it when the market is bigger.

Facing the olive branch suddenly thrown by Wu Yuan, Huang Bo was stunned.

When he was in the higher vocational class of the film academy before, he actually met Wu Yuan a few times in school.

Of course, he just stood in the distance and watched Wu Yuan hurrying back and forth on campus with a book, and he didn't dare to come forward to talk.

It's not that he coaxed it, it's that the gap between the two is really too big.

One is a little-known actor struggling on the edge of the entertainment industry, and the other is a world-renowned director.

Huang Bo didn't know how to talk to Wu Yuan and chat.

"That. Huang Bo was incoherent for a while, and then he reacted in hindsight, and said excitedly: "Thank you Director Wu for your compliment!" ”

"If you have the opportunity, you will definitely be willing to cooperate with the Light and Shadow Era again."

"As long as you don't dislike my acting skills are not good enough!"

If Huang Bo's acting skills are not good enough, how many actors with good acting skills can there be in China?

"The next time the era of light and shadow asks you to make a movie, don't refuse." Wu Yuan said with a smile.

"How so!" Huang Bo hurriedly reassured.

Wu Yuan smiled secretly in his heart, but patted Huang Bo's shoulder with a look of relief on his face: "I can remember this sentence." ”

Although he was eight years younger than Huang Bo, none of the people present felt that there was anything wrong with the reversal of their identities.

Zhang Guorong also smiled and teased: "Huang Bo, congratulations, hugging Director Wu's thigh, you don't have to worry about filming in the future." ”

"In the age of light and shadow, you can make several movies a year now, and you have the opportunity."

Speaking of this, Wu Yuan had an idea and asked, "Huang Bo, do you have a brokerage company?" ”

Now Wu Yuan is a bit addicted to digging people.

Zhu Yawen has been dug into the era of light and shadow, Wang Jinhua is so angry that she jumps to her feet, but she can't help the era of light and shadow.

The current ecological closed loop of the era of light and shadow is almost complete.

In terms of cinemas, 16 cinemas have been opened in the mainland this year, although there are not many, but with such a foundation, they will officially embark on the pace of expansion in the next few years.

In terms of movies and TV series, the era of light and shadow has always been self-produced, and the production is still high-quality projects, and domestic actors are rushing to act.

Wang Jinhua, a gold medal agent who only works in the field of artist brokerage, really can't help the era of light and shadow, so he can only grit his teeth and watch Li Xiaoping pay the liquidated damages and sign Zhu Yawen away generously.

After tasting the pleasure of digging people, Wu Yuan was also a little addicted.

Now most of the contracts signed by artists and brokerage companies are not high, and the first-line artists are only a few million, and the second- and third-tier artists may only be a few hundred thousand.

For Wu Yuan, this amount of money is really just a small amount of money, especially when he knows that after 2010, the artist's salary will take off on a rocket, and he wants to dig up a group of artists before that.

Let's see, from 2012 to 2016, how many artists in China have lawsuits with brokerage companies and are clamoring to terminate their contracts?

Numerous!

Why?

Isn't it because the money they make has skyrocketed, but the brokerage company still divides seventy percent according to the old contract, which makes their mentality very unbalanced, and the price of liquidated damages in the contract is not high, so they moved the idea of terminating the contract in a lawsuit?

Wu Yuan, who knows all this, of course, wants to dig up a group of artists who will make money from future thieves before the liquidated damages for the contracts of major companies have not risen, and then set a high liquidated damages for their contracts.

Like Zhu Yawen, the contract he signed with the Light and Shadow Era, the liquidated damages are three times the annual income, and there is no accurate figure at all.

Of course, Wu Yuan is not Zhou Papi, and he signed a ladder sharing contract with Zhu Yawen.

The contract lasts for a total of eight years, the first three years of the company and him are seventy-three points, the fourth to fifth years are five or five points, and the last three years are four or six points, which is much better than the current seven or three points contract in the industry.

Presumably, Zhu Yawen will not end up in trouble with the company and will go to court to terminate the contract.

Now, Wu Yuan is eyeing Huang Bo again.

"Director Wu, I have already signed the company." Huang Bo said with some embarrassment: "After "Crazy Stone" became a big hit, many brokerage companies came to the door. ”

"I thought it would be easier to sign a brokerage company, so I chose one."

"It's okay." Wu Yuan was still smiling brightly, put his arm on Huang Bo's shoulder, and pulled him aside.

"Tell me in detail what the company you signed is called, and what the contract is."

"Let me tell you, some brokerage companies are very dark now, after you sign it, you are completely working for the brokerage company, or as a slave labor, and all your hard-earned money is taken away by the brokerage company, this line of water is very deep, you can't grasp the ......"
