Global Movie Emperor

"The person has been caught now. You don't have to worry. The internal punishment for him has been handed down. The next step is to transfer the person to the judicial authority and take legal channels. The specific sentencing is not our business, Lu Er. Don't take everything on yourself. This matter is caused by the lack of internal supervision within the association and has nothing to do with you. There will definitely be loopholes in the early stage of system reform. As long as it can be corrected quickly, it will be a success. Night."

On the other end of the phone, Ge Yunzheng informed Lu Ze of the results, which made Lu Ze's hanging heart fall back again, but his mood was not so easy to improve.

It was the eleventh day of the first lunar month in 2024. Lu Ze was thirty-five years old and officially launched an attack on turning forty. This was supposed to be a pleasant New Year, but it was ruined by a smelly mouse. Pot of soup.

Less than half a year after the implementation of the group performance transformation project proposed by Lu Ze, the first corrupt leader of the Hengdian Association appeared. On the second day of the new year, he was reported by the group actors collectively.

The launch of a new project is bound to have oversights and loopholes. Before moving toward standardization, no one can fully predict what the project will become in the future. Lu Ze's proposal is the best example.

The loophole this time appears is that the income guarantee for extras is not enough. The most egregious one is a large-scale co-production between Hollywood and domestic film companies. The crew promised a daily salary of about 600 yuan. This is Quotes for actors who have obtained graduation certificates from group acting training courses.

But how much do they actually get?

One hundred and two a day.

With the same income as extras without graduation certificates, where does the rest of the money go? Let the small leaders and group leaders of the association who are responsible for leaving the group review give points.

In this one play alone, the little leader and the group leader squeezed more than one million yuan from the extras, including ordinary extras who had not obtained certification. Within half a year, the little leader bought a house in Yiwu.

Not only being greedy for money was not enough, he also wanted sex, forcing more than 20 female extras to have sex with him. Until he was caught this morning, he was still sleeping with an actress.

During this period of time, the extras who had obtained their graduation certificates had been silent, acquiescing to the stinky rat's exploitation of them, until he exploited them more and more, forcing some to give up the job and choose to report, even if In this way, the report call was almost blocked within the Hengdian Association and almost missed.

Lu Ze was really unhappy after hearing the news. Although he did not need to take responsibility for this serious disciplinary violation, as the initiator of this project, he would be implicated to some extent.

These are also secondary. Mr. Chen’s criticism from the organization will naturally not affect his resume. What he really cares about is whether this project can continue to be implemented in the future and whether it still occupies an important position in the hearts of the extras.

If the extras training class loses credibility because of this incident, this will be the most serious problem. Once the extras no longer take the training class seriously, all the efforts Lu Ze has made before will be in vain.

Millions is just a small amount to Lu Ze, but to the extras, it is the greatest value those rats can squeeze out. This project that may change the domestic film and television industry in the future is just gnawed by a group of moths. The bite is in danger, are you annoyed? There certainly is, but the most important thing right now is to seize the opportunity to repair this critical issue for the future of the film and television industry.

There is still a way, and it is very simple, that is, don't trust a person and don't put an individual in this position. Otherwise, even if Lu Ze helps push his old friend Zeng Long into this position, he will be greedy.

This requires consideration of the reform of the entire Hengdian Association structure. It also requires careful deliberation by the General Association. Lu Ze does not intend to attend this meeting. He will just draft a report and send it to him later. If he really attends the meeting, he might It would take half a year to officially decide, and Lu Ze didn't have that time to waste it.

In the incense burner, the incense sticks had burned out, and the black tea in the cup had cooled down. He was flipping the main page of his phone left and right, but his mind did not stay on the phone at all.

After thinking for a long time, he poured out the tea in the cup and cleared the tea tray. He stood up and walked to the living room, picked up the woolen windbreaker hanging on the hanger, and gave instructions to Lu Nan, who was lying on the sofa watching TV.

"I may not be able to come back tonight. Tell your parents to eat first without waiting for me. Eat less of that stuff. Don't vomit or have diarrhea after eating."

The law firm opened after the Lantern Festival, so Lu Nan spent nearly a month's vacation. At this moment, she had her legs crossed, books were placed on the coffee table, and variety shows were playing on the TV. Her hands were not idle, and her fingers were tapping her phone quickly. The screen, this three-purpose posture seems to be really busy.

Moreover, she had only eaten two or three of the plate full of frozen pears this morning. The out-of-season fruit, which resembled giant sheep cake eggs, had a soft and sour texture that was completely different from its appearance. The sweet taste has made it Lu Nan's favorite since childhood. In her words, if you don't eat some frozen pears in winter, it's like something is missing.

No matter how many times she got stomach upset, vomited after eating, or even ran to the toilet so many times that her butt was on fire, it still couldn't change her strange obsession with frozen pears.

No, as soon as Lu Ze finished speaking, she picked up another one, put a piece of facial tissue in her palm, and took a big bite. This one seemed to be too sour. She shook her head and twitched, her mouth was like He was swallowing saliva like he had eaten spicy strips, his eyes were narrowed, but his expression was very satisfied, as if he had been looking forward to such a sour and refreshing taste.

"Uh~his~ Well, I understand. Brother, will you come back tomorrow?"

"Besides, pass me the car keys and pick up our dad early. Don't let him play too late. Check his wallet. If you run out of money, put two in it. I'll reimburse you when you get back."

He took the key and put on his coat. The lame man was not taken away by him. There was someone taking care of him at home, and he did not want to torment this lazy old cat anymore.

After driving all the way for more than half an hour, we arrived at the tavern. The heating in the house was not as good as it was a few years ago. I looked at the thermometer and saw that it was less than 18 degrees. I let the radiator vent for two minutes before the temperature gradually rose.

Today's tavern has no profit-making nature for Lu Ze. It is purely a hobby, or it is like an office space. He invests tens of thousands of yuan every year in exchange for an environment where he can work comfortably. Lu Ze thinks it is worth it.

Turning on the computer and creating a new document, he converted the proposed proposal in his mind into words, but in most cases, the written characters were quickly deleted by him.

After more than an hour, he only wrote a few hundred words, and the progress was extremely slow. For a while, he had no clue. He played some music to soothe his emotions, and gradually a trace of sleepiness appeared. However, a bell rang, and the sleepiness was swept away in an instant. It was Wang Zixuan calling.

"Brother Lu, the copyright, copyright and trademark of the book have been submitted for registration. After the Lantern Festival, I will go to the publishing house to negotiate the contract. Other language versions are also being translated, and the manuscript will be delivered in about two months."

Lu Ze had no intention of making money from books, but the publishing house was very interested in them. He had a brief contact with Wang Zixuan after the eighth day of the first lunar month, and even directly offered a high price of 14%. For a rookie who writes books across borders, the sincerity is not lacking.

Lu Ze was a little surprised at first that he was given a share of the profits that even a best-selling author couldn't get, but according to the publisher, it seemed that they didn't intend to make money from Lu Ze's books. They just wanted to make friends with Lu Ze. , after all, Lu Ze’s fourth brother and seventh brother work in the Cultural Bureau, and everyone in the cultural industry has to give them some slack.

The title of the book has also been decided, it is called "Performance, My Life". The name is not amazing, but after thinking about it carefully, it is very appropriate. Lu Ze made the decision and did not consider the fancy names recommended by several other editors.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

"By the way, Brother Lu, since "Exile" has performed very well globally, I have also received letters of intent from many brands for endorsements. Would you consider it?"

As for endorsements, this high-income income item is not favored by Lu Ze, even though the endorsement fees for many products are higher than the salary.

Since his debut, Lu Ze has endorsed those two products, mobile phones and iced black tea. Lu Ze has rejected any other products. Sometimes he considers them from the perspective of products and worries about the quality of the products, such as shampoo and ice cream. Eating and drinking.

Sometimes it is considered from the perspective of brand image. Foreign brands need to be carefully considered to see if the brand has made any big mistakes and what its attitude is towards domestic consumers. In the end, if they get bored, they will reject them all, such as cars and Household appliances.

Of course, there are also some weird reasons for rejection. For example, a well-known luxury brand wanted Lu Ze to endorse their new Oxford shoes, but Lu Ze later rejected him because his feet were too wide and the Oxford shoes pinched his feet.

It has also made major brands realize that it is difficult for Lu Ze to be endorsed. People really don’t consider money when doing endorsements. They purely depend on whether they like it or not. This has also made Lu Ze’s endorsement fees rise all the time. The thing about capital is that the more difficult it is to negotiate. The more they valued cooperation, the more they took advantage of the popularity of "Exile". One type of manufacturer finally couldn't bear it any longer and extended an olive branch to Lu Ze one after another, each offering more outrageous prices than the last.

Lu Ze looked at this relatively lightly and was not very interested. It had nothing to do with money. It was completely restricted by too many rules and regulations. For example, he had endorsed iced black tea before, so he could not drink any other water in public places.

At that time, he was still working for Sega, and he had many more events than he does now. He drank iced black tea wherever he went, and he soon became diabetic. This experience also cast a shadow on him about endorsements, even though His mother still kept a lot of ice tea drink bottles with his face on them, and she did not let him renew his contract with Kang Shuaifu.

"You tell me."

"The first one is the Asian endorsement of Red Wing work boots. The endorsement fee is 8 million US dollars a year..."

"That's it."

He had a pair of Red Wings before, and they hurt his feet. It would be better for him to wear these shoes to participate in activities than to let him endorse a wheelchair. These shoes need to be maintained, and it takes three to five years to get started. He doesn't have the time to compete with a pair of boots.

"The second one is P Duoduo's endorsement. The endorsement fee is 80 million yuan a year."

"I won't consider this anymore. It's easy to cause disputes. It's not a product. I don't need to talk about people who only endorse APPs in the future."

"Okay, I guess Brother Lu will be very interested in the third endorsement."

"What is it?"

"Piaget watches, global ambassadors."
