Entertainment: Start from the unexpected

138. Distressed Zhou Xingxing

Last month, Zhou Xingxing's actor level had already reached the level of a first-class actor. Mo Wen also paid him 20 million for his film, but of the 20 million, Earth Studio had to take a commission of 10 million.

This was the contract signed when Zhou Xingxing was hired. The share between Earth Studio and Zhou Xingxing was 50/50.

Generally speaking, actors who have reached the first-class level will basically negotiate terms with the brokerage company and sign a new contract. After all, the earning power of first-class actors is already terrifying. If the brokerage company still wants to take a big share, it will cause trouble.

The actors were dissatisfied.

This is because first-class actors are already able to negotiate terms with the agency. If they cannot reach an agreement, these first-class actors will basically find a way to change jobs, or they will have money to pay the liquidated damages themselves.

Then go out and open a studio by yourself.

Therefore, first-class actors will basically renegotiate the profit sharing ratio with the agency and sign a new contract.

However, Zhou Xingxing's situation is different.

When Mo Wen signed Zhou Xingxing, he made it clear to Zhou Xing for a long time that Mo Wen would fully support Zhou Xingxing and might even promote Zhou Xingxing to become a superstar. However, Zhou Xingxing made an appointment with the manager of Earth Studio.

It’s always a 50-50 split. Earth Studio doesn’t take advantage of Zhou Xingxing, and Zhou Xingxing doesn’t take advantage of Earth Studio. Both parties get half.

It's just that Zhou Xingxing didn't take Mo Wen's words seriously at all. He, a low-level actor, became a superstar? This was a dream that Zhou Xingxing never dared to do.

In addition, Zhou Xingxing felt that the conditions offered by Mo Wen were indeed very good. After all, which agency would give a 50-50 split to its lower-level artists? Even if the liquidated damages were already ridiculously high, Zhou

Xingxing still signed the contract.

Now Zhou Xingxing has suddenly become a first-class actor from a low-level actor, and his income has also increased a hundred times, from one or two hundred thousand to one or two now.

Ten million.

This is something Zhou Xingxing did not expect, and now Zhou Xingxing has slowly come to believe that Mo Wen can elevate him to the level of a superstar.

It's just that Earth Studio is suddenly going to take away so much of his share of the film's remuneration. It's impossible to say that Zhou Xingxing doesn't feel distressed.

But Zhou Xingxing didn't dare to have other thoughts, because after all, there was a contract there, and such a high liquidated damages were simply not something Zhou Xingxing could afford, and no brokerage company could pay so much liquidated damages.

Walk around the stars.

Even if there is no such thing as liquidated damages, Zhou Xingxing will not regret it.

Because Zhou Xingxing knew that everything he had now was given by Mo Wen, and a person must know how to be grateful. Without Mo Wen, Zhou Xingxing would not be where he is today. Zhou Xingxing has already gained enough.

Moreover, just like what Mo Wen said at the beginning, he Mo Wen can lift you Zhou Xingxing up, but as long as you are disobedient, then he Mo Wen can step down on you Zhou Xingxing again.

Given Mo Wen's current status in the entertainment industry, it would be easy to just let the news out and say that Zhou Xingxing was to be banned. By then, no director or entertainment company would dare to cooperate with Zhou Xingxing.

What's more, Zhou Xingxing in this world is not as talented as the Star Master on Earth, who can establish his own business and rise on his own. Then Zhou Xingxing will only be slowly lost to the public.

Moreover, even if Zhou Xingxing is now a first-class actor, his salary cannot reach 20 million, at most it is just over 10 million. His fame and number of fans cannot be compared with that of a top-class actor like Yang Dami.

compared to celebrities.

Now he can get a salary of 20 million, which was specially explained by Mo Wen, so that Zhou Xingxing can get a salary of 10 million. Even after deducting personal income tax, it is still several million. This is better than what he can get in other brokerage companies.

The remuneration is only high but not low.

Moreover, if you follow Mo Wen to make a movie, you can shoot one movie in a month. This is a speed at which other agencies can’t catch up with even a rocket.

What else could Zhou Xingxing be dissatisfied with?

Therefore, Zhou Xingxing was not dissatisfied at all when Earth Studio took away Zhou Xingxing's 10 million salary, but he was just a little distressed.

After all, if this progress continues, hundreds of millions of dollars in salary will be shared by Earth Studio every year, which everyone will feel distressed about.

Talking about Tang Bohu's investment in Qiuxiang, Yang Dami's salary was 20 million, and Zhou Xingxing's salary was 20 million. Mei Zuer's salary was 500,000 at the time of filming, and each group of third-rate actors was paid 500,000.

However, Mei Zuer has now become a second-rate actress. After all, Mei Zuer had a high-quality TV series before, and now she has participated in Mo Wen's two blockbuster movies as the heroine. This makes Mei Zuer

Joey has one high-quality work and two blockbuster works, so Mei-Zooer now has three high-quality and above-quality works, and the level naturally becomes one after the second.

Actor.

In the future, Mei Zuer's salary will reach several million.

As long as she has another chance to play the heroine in Mo Wen's movie next time, Mei Zuer will also have three blockbuster movies. By then, Mei Zuer will only need to have a certain number of fans.

After that, you can become a first-class actor

In addition to the tens of thousands of other actors' salaries, the salary for "Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang" alone is as high as 46 million, plus the crew's expenses and the 4 million for renting the venue, there are 10 million in publicity funds and 20 million

post-production costs.

The total investment for this Tang Bohu Dian Qiuxiang has reached 80 million.

Tang Bohu’s income from Dian Qiuxiang was 2.03 billion. After deducting the 80 million investment, the final net profit reached 1.95 billion. This was simply a money grab.

What's more, the actual expenditure is not that much. After all, Earth Studio took away Zhou Xingxing's 10 million salary, which is a clear profit.

As for the 20 million post-production expenses that were credited to Mo Wen's overseas account, that has not been disclosed and will not be counted for the time being.

But even so, Mo Wen has earned enough.

In addition, the Chinese New Year has just passed. In order to keep everyone in a good mental state in the new year, Mo Wen immediately called Chi Yujia and asked her to spend the 10 million she received from Zhou Xingxing's salary.

I came out and gave everyone a big red envelope.

As for the celebration banquet, Mo Wen still had no plans to hold it.

Although this time, Tang Bohu won the box office championship this year with Qiu Xiang, and also broke Mo Wen's own highest box office record. If there is a celebration party, there is definitely enough reason.
