The two went to Gusu on Wednesday to visit their pregnant sister-in-law, stayed overnight, and returned to the capital on Thursday to devote themselves to the rehearsals of a new play in the theater.

There was nothing big in the circle in May, but as soon as it entered June, the smoke of the summer file began to spread.

The films that will be released in the summer have chosen to appear at the Magic Capital Film Festival in the first half of the year to promote.

Zhang and Liu did not have any films to rush to the summer file, so they turned down the invitation.

Liu Yifei doesn't want to be scolded on the red carpet anymore.

That afternoon, Liu Yifei woke up from a nap and packed up and went to the theater to prepare for the evening performance.

"So diligent?" Zhang Yuanjun was running in the gym downstairs when he saw that she was going out by car.

"You, a first-class actor, don't know the suffering of our little actors, theater baby, you can go if you want, don't go if you don't want to, what about us, no one loves us." Liu Yifei stepped into the car with one foot, exited again, walked into the gym, picked up Zhang Yuanjun's cup and drank water.

"Whoever doesn't go, I'll perform tomorrow."

"Oh," Liu Yifei disdainful, "just play these few scenes, and I'm embarrassed to take it out." ”

In terms of the number of performances, Zhang Yuanjun really doesn't have as much as Liu Yifei, she has been absent from no more than 10 tours of "City of the Blind" in recent years, and since entering the theater, she has also performed nearly 100 dramas.

In the past, the requirements for watching Mandarin dramas were not so strict, and it was because of her that Mandarin later issued regulations that the audience was not allowed to bring banners and light signs and other supporters to watch dramas.

After taunting her boyfriend, Liu Yifei kissed him again: "I'm leaving." ”

"You drive your own car." Zhang Yuanjun saw her open the door of her Volvo.

"It's inconvenient to drive my car to the theater." Liu Yifei's car, starting from one million, is really not suitable to drive to the theater, "Your car is just right." ”

"Then you drive away, I'll drive something later."

"That Mercedes-Benz, this car has been giving you for 4 years, have you run enough for 10,000 kilometers?" Liu Yifei smiled.

"Will you come back for dinner in the evening?"

"I'm coming back late, it's 10 o'clock after the show, and it's estimated that it will be 11 o'clock when I'm done."

"It's okay, I'll wait for you to eat."

After listening to this, Liu Yifei said with a smile: "This sounds like a family cook." ”

Zhang Yuanjun said: "Then you have to make more money, otherwise don't blame me if you can't support your family." ”

"Let's go." Liu Yifei didn't tease him, reversed out of the garage, and left with one foot on the accelerator.

After Liu Yifei left, Zhang Yuanjun practiced for a while before finishing today's fitness.

Just as he was about to take advantage of today's good weather to write a few words by the pond in the backyard, and just moved the table out, he received a call from his assistant.

"Didn't you go back to your hometown to do something, and you're done?"

"Not yet. I'm telling you, there are probably a lot of people calling you today who want to talk to you about a contract for Neverending. ”

"What happened to 'Never-Ending'?"

"You don't watch it on the Internet."

"No, I've been busy rehearsing these days, and I don't have time to surf the Internet."

"There is a movie blogger who announced the current global box office of "Never-ending", as of the day before yesterday, the global box office of "Never-ending" exceeded 150 million US dollars, and there are still more than a dozen countries that have not been listed, counting less, the total box office of 170 million should not be a problem."

The studio wants to push you again while this popularity is hot, after all, the Hollywood hero has a global box office of more than 100 million, and among the Chinese movie stars, in addition to Brother Cheng Long, the second is you, and Li Lianlian has no such result. ”

"And then? What are you talking to me about? ”

"There must be companies in China that want to play the idea of "Never-ending" and want to introduce it."

"Introduction, introduction, just go through the normal procedures, what are you looking for me." Zhang Yuanjun said, Zhang Yuanjun understood after speaking, "I'm afraid that Eddie is on business?" ”

"Never-ending" will definitely go through the batch of films, and it is impossible to give such a small-budget production to the number of imported films.

Go to batch films, why should domestic companies go to talk to Eddie, the boss of Z Studio is here.

Talking to Zhang Yuanjun can also pull favors, and the set is almost, what is there to talk about with an American.

"Just those millions will come to me, there's no need, right?" Zhang Yuanjun smiled bitterly.

After "The Expendables" won the box office of 214 million in China with a batch price of 3.3 million, the concept of batch films became completely popular, and the price also rose.

But no matter how it rises, in Zhang Yuanjun's concept, "Never-ending" cannot sell particularly high.

Moreover, the income from the batch of films has nothing to do with the producer, even if "Neverending" sells 350 million in China, Zhang Yuanjun, as the owner of Z Studio, will not pay a penny more except for the buyout price, and as an actor, he will not be able to share the domestic box office revenue.

Therefore, the actors who approve the film generally do not participate in the publicity.

Last year, Li Lian did not promote "The Expendables" in China.

"Millions?" Xiao Zhao smiled, "I just asked a few producers, "Neverending" now has an approximate offer in the circle, 20 million-30 million. ”

"These people are crazy!" Zhang Yuanjun himself thinks this is too fake, "It's just a batch of films, do you want to pay such a high price?" ”

"You underestimate the heat of the market right now, as well as your own appeal." Xiao Zhao explained, "Do you know how much you are paid now? ”

"How much?" The remuneration has always been the responsibility of the studio, Zhang Yuanjun knows that he has received 18 million for acting in a commercial blockbuster like "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", and "She" is a literary film, his salary is 3 million, as for what price has risen now, he really doesn't know the specifics.

"After "Lone Agent" and "Inception", we reported 34 million, which is already the highest among male artists, last year many people said that they couldn't afford to invite us, but this year no less than 10 crews are willing to pay this money, and now the market is too hot.

"You have won the Golden Statue Actor again, "Endless" has broken 100 million US dollars worldwide, and there are already bosses who are willing to spend 50 million to invite you."

Zhang Yuanjun is staggered, the industry has been too hot in the past two years, and he feels abnormal as a practitioner.

Of course, the remuneration mentioned here is all discussed on a piece, no fool actor dares to play a fixed salary, and Xiao Li does not have every movie of 20 million US dollars + 20% global box office dividends.

"In short, someone wants to talk to you about "Neverending", you have a lot of hearts." Xiao Zhao instructed Zhang Yuanjun.

"Don't worry, I won't care about "Neverending"."

Although Zhang Yuanjun is the boss of the producer, he crosses the company's manager to talk to the boss about business, which is not in line with the rules.

Everyone does this, what do managers do?

Zhang Yuanjun added: "I haven't rested enough, I'm annoyed when I see these bosses now, and it's too late to hide, so I won't meet them." ”

After the two finished speaking, as soon as Zhang Yuanjun hung up the phone, a manager of China Film Import and Export Company called in and said that he wanted to talk about "Never-ending".

Zhang Yuanjun politely refused, saying that there are several investors behind this film, and although he is the producer, he doesn't count it alone.

China Film is a little greedy in this, and the cake of the imported pieces is not enough, and it comes to grab the batch of films with private companies.

But after China Film, many domestic film company bosses called, and Zhang Yuanjun was annoyed.

I have studios at home and abroad, and there are special managers to help me handle the work, why do these bosses still like to find themselves.

But fortunately, Zhang Yuanjun has several numbers, and there are only a few who can directly contact him, and politely explained the situation, regardless of whether the other party believes it or not, but they all pushed it over.
