Huayu’s ex-husband

Chapter 275 274. Fan Bingbing’s pay quadrupled

[Ding, congratulations on completing the 2-star task “Successfully played the leading role in Lost in Thailand and satisfied director Wei Wu”, the reward has been sent to your personal warehouse, please check it carefully]

After saying goodbye to Wei Wu, Fan Bingbing immediately received a system prompt.

Good!

Although the leading role that was finished in just two hours was a bit childish, at least there was a C-level treasure chest to make up for it.

This task was completed too quickly! The task was just released in the morning, and it was completed at noon.

In fact, Wei Wu was a little surprised that this task could be triggered.

But if you think about it carefully, there is no problem. After all, it is a guaranteed task. As long as it is the leading actress, it can be triggered.

What’s the problem with the amount of roles? Anyway, it’s a guaranteed task, why is it so stuck?

It was also out of a certain compensation mentality, so Wei Wu gave Fan Bingbing this task.

In fact, in terms of issuing tasks, Wei Wu still deliberately suppressed Fan Bingbing’s development rhythm.

Generally speaking, as long as Fan Bingbing plays the leading role in a film or TV series, a guaranteed task can be triggered.

But so far, Fan Bingbing has played N leading roles, but has only received two guaranteed tasks.

Of course, part of the reason is that she had no contact or communication with Wei Wu before the filming of the new film, so naturally no tasks were triggered, so Wei Wu could not issue tasks.

But in the final analysis, it was Wei Wu who deliberately blocked her.

If Wei Wu wanted, he could have guided her in advance through words and then triggered the corresponding guaranteed tasks. But Wei Wu did not do so.

After all, Fan Bingbing's basic attributes are already very high, and her ambitions are relatively large.

Until this time, she had only completed two tasks (changing jobs to Shuguo Culture + starring in "Painted Skin"), and added three points (and one point was added for favorability greater than 30) -

As a result, her charm is now as high as 91, and her performance is already 81.

If it is not controlled and the frequency of task issuance is limited, there may be a risk of running away.

Now her bond with Wei Wu is not deep enough, and the intimacy is not high enough.

If she can easily add both charm and performance attributes to 100 points, she may not be as obedient as before.

Although Wei Wu still has the ultimate move, which is to adjust the intimacy to zero, then reclaim all rewards and clear memories.

But this is a nuclear weapon, and it is also the last insurance, which must not be used easily.

If it really comes to the point of using this killer, it means that Wei Wu has lost control of someone, which is what he should try his best to avoid.

Therefore, Wei Wu has already considered that if Fan Bingbing starred in other TV series, he would not give her the guaranteed task.

But if she starred in a TV series directed by herself, she should still be given it, after all, you have to give her some sweetness!

And in this way, not only can her work enthusiasm be improved. And Fan Bingbing will also work harder to please Wei Wu in order to star in his new film.

Of course, Fan Bingbing definitely didn't know about Wei Wu's little calculations. She only knew that she could draw again.

[Ding, you are drawing from the C-level attribute point treasure chest. Since you have the primary V privilege (intimacy: 38), you can remove one of the following options before drawing: A. Charm attribute points; B. Performance attribute points; C. Singing and dancing attribute points; D. Directing attribute points; E. Free attribute points]

Without any suspense, Fan Bingbing directly chose D - Directing.

[Ding, congratulations on getting 1 performance attribute point and 1 singing and dancing attribute point]

Fan Bingbing's mouth shrank, and her face immediately turned from sunny to cloudy. This time, her luck was a bit bad!

She didn't draw the charm attribute points she wanted most, nor did she draw the free attribute points.

If the performance attribute points are still useful, then the singing and dancing attribute points are simply useless!

Alas, I should have tried to please Wei Wu more and raised the intimacy to 60.

If you raise the intimacy to 60, you can exclude singing and dancing, so no matter how you draw, you will get the attributes you want and that are useful.

But I have to say that Wei Wu's intimacy is really slow!

From the completion of "Painted Skin" to now, for such a long time, I have called him every now and then to ask about his well-being, and I have never stopped giving him gifts during festivals... However, after working so hard for so long, the intimacy has only increased by three points.

Fan Bingbing couldn't help but wonder, is it because the task was too easy to complete, so the reward is so bad?

But think broadly, anyway, this task basically didn't take much effort, so the reward is almost there!

At this point, let's add some points first.

Add one point to each of the performance attribute and the singing and dancing attribute, so Fan Bingbing's personal attributes changed to:

[Charm: 91]

[Performance: 82]

[Singing and dancing: 68]

[Directing: 24]

Just as Fan Bingbing finished adding points, Wei Wu also received a commission reward:

Performance +1, singing and dancing +1

Wei Wu also felt that Fan Bingbing's luck was a bit bad, and the singing and dancing attributes were also useless to him.

But on second thought, we are all sitting back and enjoying the benefits, why are we still being so picky?

Wei Wu added the points, so his personal attribute panel changed to:

Wei Wu lv3 (4100/6000)

[Charm: 90]

【Performance: 95】

【Singing and dancing: 31】

【Director: 100】

Speaking of which, my singing and dancing attributes have been increased a few points, but I don’t know if there has been any change? How much has changed?

So Wei Wu was ready to verify it first, so he started humming while walking:

"I've spent my whole life

Come and support you

I just hope you stop

flowing eyes

please give me infinite love

and the power of being loved

Let me feel at ease under Bodhi

Quietly contemplate..."

Well, it seems like nothing has changed! It still sounds as ugly as before.

"What a lousy song you have, it's too ugly!"

Be bold and match the Golden State!

Now the only person in the entire crew who dares to complain to Wei Wu's face that Wei Wu's singing is bad is Huang Bo.

It turned out that after sending Fan Bingbing away, Wei Wu had returned to the set.

Wei Wu walked in the direction of his lounge and hummed, but he didn't notice that Huang Bo had followed behind him.

Huang Bo was originally going to say hello to Wei Wu, but when he saw Wei Wu humming with great interest, he didn't stop him immediately, but planned to eavesdrop first.

After all, everyone knows that Wei Wu is good at writing songs, so Huang Bo is ready to hear how good his new songs are.

After all, Huang Bo also loves music. He started out as a resident singer. He has been engaged in music for many years, but he has never been able to make a big name, so he later studied acting.

After listening to a few words, Huang Bo's face was filled with questions.

What is this? Did Wei Wu's level drop so quickly? So I really couldn't help but complain about him.

Wei Wu turned his head and glanced sideways at him: "Are you okay?"

Huang Bo raised his eyebrows and joked: "If you sing a little longer, I will definitely be in trouble!"

"Humph", Wei Wu rolled his eyes at him:

"Who invited you to listen? Let you attend the concert for free and just enjoy it secretly! Are you still forcing me to do this?"

Huang Bo laughed loudly and said: "Oh shit! What about a concert? People need money to sing, but you need to die to sing!"

Wei Wu used his right hand to turn around and dig out. Huang Bo quickly made a small jump to avoid Wei Wu's insidious monkey stealing peach.

After a few fights, Huang Bo asked Fan Bingbing:

"She's gone?"

"Yeah", Wei Wu nodded.

Huang Bo winked and said: "No, are you really leaving? This salary is too good to get!"

Wei Wu snorted coldly: "The filming was completed in two hours, and you got a shitty salary?"

Huang Bo deliberately winked and sneered at him: "Tsk, tsk, are you a fool?"

Wei Wu spread his hands and said, "It's not that I don't give it, it's that she insists on it. She insists on acting for zero pay. There are too few main roles, so it's really hard to calculate the pay!"

Huang Bo knew in his heart that Wei Wu's words were not just words to excuse himself.

However, Fan Bingbing doesn't want to be paid, so he's not that high-spirited.

The main reason is that there are too few scenes, it only took half a day to shoot, and the paycheck is really hard to come by.

If you give too much, then Wei Wu will suffer too much! Because the remuneration is directly related to the shooting time.

Generally, for stars, it is calculated based on how much a movie costs, but there is a minimum standard.

For example, take Huang Bo as an example. His current film salary is about 800,000.

Regardless of whether the shooting lasts for one month, two months or three months, we may only charge this price.

But if the filming takes four to five months, then it will definitely be increased appropriately, for example, to 1 million.

But if the reward is less, Fan Bingbing will be unhappy again.

The money problem is still second. The key is that if you give too little, it may disrupt the original price system.

For example, Fan Bingbing's salary for filming a movie was 1 million.

But "囧囧" was filmed in half a day, so it would definitely not be possible to give her so much. I might only give her 100,000 yuan as a token of appreciation.

But the remuneration cannot be reduced casually. Because it is easy to lower this thing, but it is difficult to raise it.

Because film remuneration is inherently negotiable, if a star lowers his or her remuneration, it is tantamount to giving up the initiative in bargaining.

If a certain amount of initiative is lost, the remuneration will naturally be reduced, usually at least 10% to 20%.

If Fan Bingbing receives 100,000 yuan now, it means that she is expected to lose hundreds of thousands in salary for her next movie.

Fan Bingbing will definitely settle this debt, so in that case, he might as well just get zero pay.

Not only did he avoid losing a lot due to small things, but he also sold Wei Wu a favor.

In addition, this can be regarded as a good publicity stunt, and to a certain extent, it will also help to increase Fan Bingbing's popularity with the public.

Therefore, Fan Bingbing made a very right choice by choosing to star in the film for free.

In fact, in his previous life, Fan Bingbing also starred in "囧囧" for zero pay. Xu Zheng can do it for free, let alone Wei Wu.

When it comes to remuneration, Huang Bo couldn't help but gossip:

"Hey, there are rumors in the world that Fan Bingbing's salary has quadrupled to 5 million. Is it true?"

If someone else asked, Wei Wu might not tell the truth, but after all, Huang Bo's relationship with him was indeed extraordinary.

Wei Wu nodded and said, "Well, that's about right. Her salary now starts at 5 million. If it's a big production like 100 to 200 million, the company might charge one to two million more."

In fact, this is normal. When the filming of "Painted Skin" started in the previous life, the three leading actors, Chen Kun, Zhou Xun and Xiao Yanzi, were all paid around one million.

However, after "Painted Skin" became a hit at the box office, when "Painted Skin 2" was launched, Zhou Xun's salary increased to 4 million, Xiao Yanzi's salary increased to 4.5 million, and Chen Kun's salary increased to 3.5 million.

But why did Fan Bingbing gain more than them? That's of course because "Painted Skin" broke the box office record in Chinese film history!

"Hiss", Huang Bo couldn't help but take a breath:

"Is that an exaggeration?"

Wei Wu explained: "The main reason is that "Painted Skin" broke the record in film history, which greatly increased her net worth.

"Her previous salary was just over 1 million, which ranked her almost fifth among mainland actresses.

"Slightly lower than Zhou Xun and Xiaoyanzi, far lower than Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li."

Huang Bo was a little curious: "Then where can she be ranked now?"

"Third, anyway, it's a lot higher than Zhou Xun and Xiao Yanzi! But it's still lower than Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li.

"In fact, since "Painted Skin" became a hit, even Liu Tianxian's salary has been higher than that of Zhou Xun and Xiao Yanzi!

"Nowadays, people outside are offering Liu Tianxian 1.5 million to 2 million, but the salary quotations for Zhou Xun and Xiao Yanzi have rarely exceeded 1.5 million so far."

After all, Huang Bo has only been famous for a short period of time, so he didn't particularly inquire about the salary, especially the salary of female stars.

But since we’ve reached this point today, I decided to break the casserole and ask the question:

"How much are Zhang Ziyi and Gong Li's current salaries?"

Wei Wu answered one by one: "Gong Li hasn't taken any new roles recently, but her last movie "A City of Golden Armor" was paid 10 million.

"It is said that for "Miami Vice" released last year, Gong Li's salary was US$5 million. But if the film is shot in China, she usually quotes US$2 million.

"But this price is a bit exaggerated. In recent years, Chinese-language films have been able to afford her, and not many are willing to pay this amount.

"Furthermore, the salary for "Golden Armor" obviously did not reach the amount she quoted externally. It is also possible that she gave Zhang Yimou a discount.

"Then since "The Golden Jacket" broke the box office record in film history, and Gong Li also won the Academy Award for Best Actress.

"As a result, her remuneration has naturally increased. If she were to be hired to film a movie now, it would probably be a solid $2 million. Even Zhang Yimou might not be able to negotiate the price!"

Wei Wu then talked about Zhang Ziyi:

"Although Zhang Ziyi's influence overseas is far less than that of Gong Li, it is said that the previous film "Memoirs of a Geisha", in which Gong Li acted as a co-star, only paid US$500,000.

"But in China, Zhang Ziyi's salary is firmly higher than Gong Li's! Chen Kaige's salary for "Mei Lanfang" which starts filming this month is US$2 million.

"Furthermore, Zhang Ziyi's last movie was "The Banquet," and Feng Xiaogang offered her the same salary of US$2 million.

"Although Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are currently asking for US$2 million per film, Zhang Ziyi has roles for her every year.

"But as for Gong Li, the only Chinese-language film he has starred in in recent years is "The Golden Armor," and his salary was still greatly reduced."

In fact, the reason why Gong Li and Zhang Ziyi are paid the same salary is a bit of a sign of "bringing foreigners and self-respect".

Taking a step back, even if their box office appeal is slightly stronger than that of Zhou Xun and Xiao Yanzi, there won't be a gap of seven to eight times or even ten times.

But their overseas influence is indeed beyond the reach of other actresses.

Zhang Ziyi has starred in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and "Hero". Both of these films have high overseas box office. The "International Chapter" is not entirely derived from marketing.

Although Gong Li has not starred in films with high box office overseas, she has served as the chairperson of the jury at the Berlin Film Festival and Venice Film Festival. This is an unprecedented honor and achievement for a Chinese actor.

Although the salary offered to them by Hollywood is ordinary, if converted into RMB, it would be a bit exaggerated.

Moreover, at this stage, domestic entertainment is more serious about favoring foreigners and foreigners, so their pay is the only one.

Huang Bo couldn't help but gasped after hearing this: "Tsk, tsk, how much is 2 million US dollars!"

Wei Wu did some mental calculation and said: "The current exchange rate of USD to RMB is 7.58, which is equivalent to 15.16 million RMB!"

"My dear, 15 million!"

Wei Wu glanced at him disdainfully: "Look at you, you look like you have never seen the world! Isn't it just 15 million? I guarantee you will get this salary in two years."

Huang Bo's eyes suddenly lit up, he rubbed his hands excitedly and said:

"Really? This is what you said. Don't wait a few years, otherwise you will give me this salary for your next movie, right?"

"Do you think this is okay? The company will help me raise my salary first, and then I will go out to take more roles. Then the company will get more commission. Isn't this a win-win situation?"

Wei Wu didn't even want to say anything and just gave him two middle fingers.
