Chapter 479: The Problem of Remuneration

There is one thing, Zhang Yuanjun has been thinking about how to tell Liu Yifei recently.

It's whose house to go to for the New Year this year.

At the end of the year, neither of them entered the group, and according to Zhang Yuanjun's idea, he would definitely take Liu Yifei back to Luling.

Liu Yifei is the new daughter-in-law, and her parents have repeatedly told her to bring Liu Yifei back for the New Year this year.

Zhang Yuanjun will feel that it is natural for his daughter-in-law to go home with him for the New Year, but Liu Yifei's family conditions are relatively special, her mother-in-law is single, and there is only Liu Yifei under her knees.

But you can't take Liu Xiaoli with you, how can there be any reason to celebrate the New Year with your in-laws.

In addition, the eldest and sister-in-law quarreled because of whose house they went to every year for the Chinese New Year, Zhang Yuanjun was a little sensitive to this after getting married.

Many couples can survive the storms, but they will make trouble because of the trivial things in life, such as whose house to go to for the New Year and how many gifts to give to whom.

In order to take care of Liu Yifei's emotions, Zhang Yuanjun cautiously asked her when he was eating at home at noon: "Qianqian, where is your mother going to celebrate the New Year this year?" ”

"My mother went back to Jiangcheng, the new house in Jiangcheng has been renovated, and I will spend the first year of this year in the new house."

Zhang Yuanjun thought in his heart, forgetting that Jiangcheng moved to a new house, what if Liu Yifei wanted to accompany her mother back.

"What about you?" Liu Yifei asked her husband rhetorically, "Where are you going to celebrate the New Year this year?" ”

Zhang Yuanjun said: "I'll go back to Luling, the capital is too dry, I have to go back to Luling to repair my vitality." ”

Liu Yifei knew that her husband was testing her thoughts, and she was very pleased that Zhang Yuanjun was still so considerate and respectful of her emotions after marriage.

A few days ago, Liu Yifei also talked about this problem when she went to accompany her mother, Liu Yifei had a big heart and wanted to take her husband to accompany her mother back to Jiangcheng for the New Year.

But Liu Xiaoli is a person from the past after all, even if she wants her daughter and son-in-law to come to Jiangcheng to accompany her, there are some things that still have to be taught to her daughter: "Yuanjun will definitely not agree to go to Jiangcheng for the New Year this year." ”

Liu Yifei was puzzled, Liu Xiaoli said: "You are stupid, this year is your first year of marriage, and the first year is in Jiangcheng for the New Year, and his parents will definitely not agree." You go back to Luling with him this year, and come to Jiangcheng before noon on the second day of the new year. In this way, the two of them are bumpy on the road, and the trouble is a little troublesome, but Liu Xiaoli doesn't care, the second daughter and son-in-law must come to Jiangcheng.

Liu Yifei asked him at the moment: "What is there to eat and have fun in Luling for the New Year?" ”

Zhang Yuanjun thought for a while and said with a smile: "It seems that there is really nothing special worth introducing." You'll find out when you go back with me. Zhang Yuanjun acquiesced, Liu Yifei asked this question, and promised to go home with him for the New Year.

Liu Yifei said: "Aren't you going to your mother-in-law's house in the second year of junior high school, can you catch up?" ”

"Just in time!" Zhang Yuanjun patted his chest and said, "Many of us married wives in Hubei Province, and drove to Hubei Province early in the morning of the second day of junior high school. "I'm sorry, the earliest train from Luling to Jiangcheng can't catch up for lunch, and the sons-in-law of Hubei Province can only get up at five or six o'clock and drive to Hubei Province.

Zhang Yuanjun has long been mentally prepared for this.

Liu Yifei smiled: "It's hard." ”

The New Year's event was so happily said.

Zhang Yuanjun is not particularly busy with work outside, he reads the scripts handed over by various film parties at home, and he is happy to be at ease.

There are also many filmmakers in Hollywood who take a fancy to the appeal of their three gold stars in China, and some also hand over books, most of which are co-productions.

Since returning from the award, Wanda has been actively promoting cooperation with Zhang Yuanjun.

Zhang Yuanjun is very interested in Wanda's book, although the cost of "Hypnosis Master" is low, the story creativity is very exciting, and it is worth starring; "Looking for the Dragon" is still working on the script, but Zhang Yuanjun is fascinated by it, and he also thinks that this kind of adventure film is worth trying.

Now it's stuck in the pay link.

"Looking for the Dragon" was put aside first, and there was still a long time before it was turned on.

"Master of Hypnosis" has been confirmed to start in the middle of next year, although Wanda has to pay for Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei, but according to the market salary of the two, the advance budget of the "Master of Hypnosis" crew can't even afford Liu Yifei alone.

The agents of the two have lowered their salaries to the friendship price, but the crew of "Master of Hypnosis" still said that it was too expensive.

"I really can't drop it, the two of them packed 37 million, you can inquire, is it meaningful to ask two people to film together at this price."

According to the normal quotation, Zhang Yuanjun's salary alone is more than 50 million.

"I know this salary is very fair, but our crew is small and the budget is limited, even if the boss approves an extra amount of money in order to invite Yuanjun and Yifei, we really can't get 37 million." The executive producers who are responsible for negotiating the salary of the crew are about to be driven crazy.

On the one hand, the crew asked him to negotiate Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei as soon as possible, but he was unwilling to give more money, on the other hand, Zhang Liu's agent was stubborn about the salary.

In the end, the executive producer came up with a bold plan: "How about two teachers take a share?" ”

The agent rejected this plan without thinking about it, and the current mainstream in the Chinese film industry still takes a fixed salary, and few actors are willing to take investment risks and get a share.

"Master of Hypnosis" is not their own project, Zhang and Liu just make a movie for Wanda and take their own money.

Today's negotiations ended unhappily.

The agent went back to report to the boss, Liu Yifei felt that it was normal to refuse, she just took a job, got a fixed money, and had no reason or wanted to bear the risk of the filmmaker.

But Zhang Yuanjun didn't think so: "Actually, you can try to convert the salary into an investment and get a share." ”

The agent naturally persuaded him not to do this, Zhang Yuanjun said this, and the specific agent went to help him negotiate, but he also gave his bottom line: "Yifei's first, our fixed salary is at least 20 million, if you want to get a share, the maximum is 10 million, and the proportion is at least 15%, which is probably reasonable." ”

The boss is low, and the agent is easier to talk to.

After the agent left, Liu Yifei asked Zhang Yuanjun: "Are you very optimistic about "Hypnosis Master"? She knows her husband's investment habits, and he dares to invest money if he is 30% sure that he can make a profit, compared to her, she and Liu Xiaoli are very conservative and cautious in investing.

"It's okay, the main thing is that this idea is good, and isn't this a fairy sister carrying the box office, it should be able to make some money."

"With you, the three-gold actor, it's not my turn to carry the box office."

"Again, what am I?" Zhang Yuanjun said.

"You want to be shameless." Liu Yifei laughed angrily, "I like to hear this kind of good words, right, then I'll record a paragraph in my mobile phone and put it in your ears every day." Liu Yifei pressed Zhang Yuanjun down and hammered him.

In fact, "Hypnosis Master" does not have to be Zhang and Liu, so why is Wanda willing to invest in the crew to invite the two?

The box office appeal of the two is secondary.

Wanda bought the two of them with a super high degree of topicality, and Wanda needed two superstars to join in to make a name for Wanda Pictures in the field of production.

Zhang Yuanjun's first film after the three gold emperors.

Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei's first co-production movie after their wedding.

Wanda Pictures bought these two commercials.

Therefore, even if "Hypnosis Master" can obviously invite others to star at a lower price, Wanda has to overturn the previous budget and add money to invite Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei.

Of course, if the two are willing to charge a little less, it would be better to convert it into an investment and take risks together. (End of chapter)
