Entertainment: Top Agents

"Really, I finally came up with a topic, but you wrote it first."

Liang Lin, who was drinking tea, had no choice but to complain.

But this is all about acting, and naturally it is also for the sake of discussing future cooperation.

"Okay then, do you want to cooperate?"

"It just so happens that I also need to find investment for this movie. Can we collaborate again?"

What Liang Lin didn't expect was that Zhou Xingchi actually offered to cooperate?

This saved Liang Lin a lot of trouble and talk.

"Why, if you ask me to invest, it must be a huge investment, right?"

"Haha~" Zhou Xingchi, who was exposed, also smiled extraordinarily.

"I think you are very discerning and know the current film market, and you especially like this kind of visual blockbusters; so you are also making science fiction films now."

"This is a science fiction film, so it will definitely use a lot of special effects."

"How about it, do you want to invest?"Zhou Xingchi finished drinking the tea and put down the cup.

Liang Lin poured water, brewed it again, and then poured it to Zhou Xingchi.

This is exactly what he wanted, how could he not cooperate?

"What about the script? I haven’t read the script, how can I dare to talk about direct investment?"

"Why don't you show me the script? So what if what you wrote is different from what I thought, can I still pick up and write another setting?"As soon as Liang Lin finished speaking, Zhou Xingchi laughed.

"The script is not here. I will send it to you when the time comes."

"But if this project really needs to be filmed, it can’t be done without 300 million yuan."

"I don’t use big-name actors, but even the production costs are quite high."

Liang Lin also knows what Zhou Xingchi said.

But in fact, Liang Lin knows very well that when Zhou Xingchi makes a movie, he usually exceeds the budget.

《The production cost of"Mermaid" is 350 million.

Now Zhou Xingchi said it is 300 million, so the remaining 50 million is beyond the budget.

Liang Lin was mentally prepared, so he didn't think there was anything surprising about this.

"Tell me what you think?"Liang Lin asked him what he thought

"As for actors' remuneration, I will try my best to control it. My favorite male lead is Deng Chao."

"According to his current movie market price, if I invite him, the maximum is 10 million"

"If it exceeds 10 million, I won’t use him and find someone else."Zhou Xingchi felt that given his reputation, if Deng Chao could star in this movie, the salary would definitely not be very high.

"Well, almost, he actually came to see me just before. After Liang

Lin, who was drinking tea, explained this, Zhou Xingchi was surprised:"He is looking for you?""

"Yes, he and a friend are going to direct and star in a movie, and he wants me to invest in it."

"I invested 30 million in his movie"

"Now for your"Mermaid" project, as long as it is produced and produced by my Rebirth Entertainment, then using your status in the industry and my relationship, you can get him to star in this movie for 5 million."

"It would be great."Zhou Xingchi couldn't be more satisfied.

"Next is the female lead. How much is your artist Di Lieba’s salary?"

"Not high, the market price is two to three million, she is also a newcomer"

"I just shot my first movie"My Sassy Girl" this year and it hasn't been released yet."

"Next year he will also have a war science fiction film. After filming this, it will be scheduled in the second half of the year."

"So no matter how high her salary is, it can't be much higher. Deng Chao only got 5 million, and my Reba can't get more than 5 million no matter what."What Liang Lin said also made Zhou Xingchi feel relieved.

Yes, in this case, the male and female protagonists' salary will be 000,000

"In this way, I can control the salary of all the actors within 15 million."

"But what do you think? I wrote the script and directed the movie."

"How much do you plan to pay me for the film? Zhou Xingchi asked Liang Lin with a smile.

Liang Lin gave him a salary of 80 million for this year's"The Pursuit of Happiness". If he collaborates with"Mermaid" next year, what are Liang Lin's plans?

"I can do it all. If you want the salary, I will give you the salary. If you want the box office dividends, you want the box office dividends."

"This script was not written by me, it was written by you, and it is also your project. Whether it is salary or dividends, you decide, I can do it."Liang Lin knows how to do things.

Anyway, domestic directors get box office dividends, and the maximum is 5%, unless the director also participates in the investment. If he does not participate in the investment. If he just writes, acts, and directs, then the maximum is 5% of the box office dividends..

If it is just a pure director's movie, not the screenwriter of this movie, nor the starring role of this movie, but just a pure director, the industry stipulates that the pure director's dividends cannot exceed 3% of the total box office at most.

If it is a director + acting, Then you may get 4% to 5% of the total box office.

And it also depends on what status you are an actor.

If you are a powerful director like Zhou Xingchi, Cheng Long, or Wu Jing (who is popular) + A-list celebrities, actors The box office dividend will only be 2%.

The screenwriter's fee is almost negligible, which is hundreds of thousands, or more than a million.

Therefore, Liang Lin is mentally prepared. If Zhou Xingchi wants a dividend, he will give 5 % of dividends

《5% of the box office of"Mermaid" 34, the dividend is 170 million. To be honest, Liang Lin of course wants to be paid.

Because it is impossible to get 170 million for director Zhou Xingchi.

Just like"Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the 80 million promised by Huayi is actually a dividend, not a salary.

The salary was only 20 million yuan for the director. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The promised 80 million yuan was promised by Wang Zhonglei. As long as the box office exceeds 500 million yuan, Master Xing will share 80 million yuan in dividends. Everyone knows the result.

"Give me the paycheck."Zhou Xingchi was frightened and said he would be paid for the film.

"Why do you need a paycheck? Don’t want dividends?"Liang Lin was surprised and surprised.

He was ready to give Master Xing 170 million in dividends.

Why did he suddenly ask for a salary at this time?

"Oh, I'm scared."Zhou Xingchi couldn't help but express his feelings.

"What happened in the first half of this year?"After hearing this, Liang Lin also guessed

"yes."

Understanding that this was the case, Liang Lin said to Master Xing:"Tell me, how much do you want the director's salary for this project?"

"50000000."Master Xing finally decided that he only wanted a salary of 50 million.

But in fact, this is already a lot. As one of the major directors in China, this is really not high.

If he gets dividends, he will definitely be more than this in this movie. point

"Only 50 million? I thought you would ask me for 80 million."Liang Lin laughed.

"No, no, no, the director's salary for the last"Journey to the West: Conquer the Demons" was only 20 million....."

"《"The Pursuit of Happiness" requires you 80 million because you are the director and starring"

"This time I am the writer and director. If I don’t star, there is no reason to ask for 80 million."

"And this 50 million is actually considered high."Zhou Xingchi is really embarrassed himself.

"Okay, the contract states that your salary is 50 million"

"After the movie is released, if it does well at the box office, I will give you another red envelope."

When Zhou Xingchi heard this, he quickly waved his hands:"No, no, I'm really scared, don't say that."

The so-called once bitten by a snake and ten years afraid of well ropes is the current Zhou Xingchi.

He was tricked once by Wang Zhonglei of Huayi, and he was really scared.

"Don't get me wrong, giving you a red envelope is not a dividend."

"I give red envelopes to people, and those who share the dividends are equivalent to a partnership, which is different."

"Besides, this red envelope will not be deducted from your salary."

"But just for the sake of it, if the box office is good, I will give you a red envelope"

"If the box office is not good, I can just recoup the money, or if I don’t make much money either"

"Then I can't send you a red envelope."Liang Lin explained this point, and Zhou Xingchi felt relieved.

"Okay, it doesn’t matter if you give me this red envelope or not, as long as the 50 million remuneration is included in the contract."

Zhou Xingchi was very satisfied, but Liang Lin also smiled and said:"In this case, let me give you a good investment suggestion."

"In the next few years, real estate investment in the mainland will be good."

"If you have some spare money, try real estate speculation in the Mainland."

Zhou Xingchi was surprised and pleasantly surprised at the same time.

He believed Liang Lin's words, because Liang Lin was able to increase the market value of Rebirth Entertainment to 5 billion and make a net profit of 2 billion in just one year, which is enough to illustrate his investment vision.

If If you don’t believe in someone with good investment vision, then who should you listen to?

"Okay, if I have this spare money, I will try to invest."

After talking about this matter, we also signed the contract.

After Zhou Xingchi read the contract, he signed the contract after confirming that there were no problems. 3.3

Today, in addition to talking about the contract, he also came over to discuss the completion of the director of"The Pursuit of Happyness" , the remaining balance needs to be transferred to Zhou Xingchi.

After the film is completed, as long as it is edited and approved, it will be released.

Therefore, the balance and other things will be given to what is due.

Before the filming started Well, 50% of the remuneration has been given to Zhou Xingchi.

Now that the filming of the movie is completed, the balance will naturally be paid.

After receiving the balance, Zhou Xingchi is completely relieved. He was cheated once in the first half of the year, and this time he He was also very cautious.

But after Liang Lin gave it to him as promised, Zhou Xingchi finally understood Liang Lin’s character.

"In a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, why don't we have dinner together?"Liang Lin asked Zhou Xingchi

"No, I have to go back to Xiangjiang to arrange follow-up work issues."

"《After the investment contract for the"Mermaid" project was signed, I had to quickly perfect the script and complete the preliminary preparations."Zhou Xingchi said that he was in a hurry.

The main reason was that he was tired and wanted to go back to Xiangjiang to rest for a while.

Liang Lin understood, so he didn't force him to stay, but sent him downstairs.
