The entertainment industry shouldn't be like this

Chapter 38 Don’t talk too much, make money

Preparations for "Genius Gunslinger" continue to advance in an orderly manner.

As for actors, it's easy to find experienced actors, but it's hard to find fresh actors with acting skills.

This is the same in every country. Who would want to hone their acting skills so hard when they can rely on their face to make a living?

It's just that some places have a higher limit for fresh meat, some have a lower limit, and some... have no lower limit.

These are all things that Wang Wei had to worry about, because Wang Chuanqi is now having a headache with the candidates who have already been identified.

The negotiations between him and Shen Zhenyi's agent have never been smooth. There is only one real point of disagreement, and that is the remuneration.

"We're not talking about ordinary actors!"

Manager Yu Li stood up, supported the table with both hands, looked directly at Wang Chuanqi, and almost shouted: "We are talking about a super star who is a super hit in his first movie."

""Holiday in Peking" is not a literary film. Xiaozhen's acting skills, fame, commercial value, and box office appeal are all fully reflected in it."

"Tell me, isn't it normal for an actor who can carry the box office like this, who can trick audiences into the cinema to listen to the director tell a story, to have his net worth skyrocket?"

Wang Chuanqi's face was calm, and his heart was calm... It's not a surprise!

"No matter what, the salary of 8 million is too exaggerated and I can't accept it." Wang Chuanqi shook his head like a rattle.

After a long verbal exchange, almost biting off bit by bit, the two barely reached an agreement.

"The film's domestic box office exceeded 100 million, and sponsorship fees increased to 8 million;"

If it can achieve the publicity spillover effect of "Peking Holiday", their company is really willing to spend money happily.

The door is closed.

"Everyone takes a step back from the original sponsorship fee, which is 6 million!"

"Don't say much, she gets a salary of 8 million, which is reasonable and reasonable."

…

"I think if the box office really exceeds 400 million, your company should be very willing to pay the money."

Yu Li, who was exposed, didn't change her expression, sat back on the chair, and changed into a tone that stated facts and reason——

"From 100,000 to 8 million, this is not called a surge, it is called an explosion!" Wang Chuanqi said with a smile.

Wang Chuanqi curled his lips: "What are you doing to me? I heard that Luo Jianzhou's new film is a science fiction film, and he learned the lesson from the last time. After a year and a half of pre-production, he couldn't even start shooting. Xiaozhen took over the filming of "Genius Gunman", a little bit It won’t affect the drama of picking up Luo Jianzhou.”

Wang Chuanqi spoke faster, not giving the other party a chance to interrupt, "Stop talking, I will propose a final plan."

"We're not talking about an ordinary movie!"

However, Yu Li changed her tone: "Then I will propose another plan, which can moderately reduce the basic salary, but it must include the condition of later sharing."

After finalizing the contract for the female lead, Lao Wang felt confident and turned around to negotiate with merchants interested in placing advertisements.

"But we sign a stepped agreement——"

Sure enough, her true intention was here, and Wang Chuanqi instantly became vigilant.

Yu Li's speech slowed down, but she was still aggressive: "There are really people who are willing to pay this price."

The crew gave Shen Zhenyi a basic salary of 4.5 million, with 1% of the domestic box office share if the domestic box office exceeds 100 million, 2% if the domestic box office exceeds 200 million, and 2.5% if the domestic box office exceeds 300 million, and then it is capped.

The manufacturer's negotiator shook his head: "We have our own evaluation system and believe that 4 million sponsorship is reasonable."

When they shook hands at the end, Lao Wang looked at the agent whose expression changed as if he were flipping through a book, shook his head and said, "I really don't want to deal with a difficult woman like you."

But the negotiator did not respond immediately and shrugged: "This is a new plan. I have to go back and report it."

Negotiations were therefore suspended.

"Tell me, for making multiple appearances in such a masterpiece and having a strong connection with the plot, I want a sponsorship fee of 10 million. Isn't that excessive?"

However, the reality is that they are all destined to deal with each other constantly.

In the previous film, due to my own carelessness, I could be said to have made a lot of money by letting the other party lie down. How could I not want to repeat the same trick?

Generally speaking, given Shen Zhenyi's current celebrity status, some crews would accept a higher basic remuneration for her, but few crews would agree to participate in post-production sharing.

Yu Li responded with a smile: "Both and each other, I don't want to deal with a cunning producer like you."

Wang Chuanqi stood up from his chair, paced back and forth in the conference room, walked up to the Honor Computer negotiators, and almost half shouted: "This is the meeting between the emerging director Wang Wei, whose first movie was a super hit, and the National People's Congress. Princess Shen Zhenyi reunites for a film!"

However, just as the agent seized his trump card, Wang Chuanqi also saw that this should be the opponent's bottom line.

"If the domestic box office exceeds 400 million, the sponsorship fee will increase to 15 million..."

Both sides have revealed the bottom line, so let's continue talking.

"The domestic box office exceeded 300 million, and sponsorship fees increased to 12 million;"

The negotiator made a "tsk" sound and thought disdainfully: What a little trick...

Wang Chuanqi stopped the lion's roar, sat back on the chair, and said in a deep voice: "If you insist, then I can only say that I am sorry."

He really regretted it now. He shouldn't have used this reason to persuade Wang Wei carelessly in front of this girl. No, she had seized the trump card.

"The domestic box office exceeded 200 million, and sponsorship fees increased to 10 million;"

When leaving the conference room, the negotiators heard Wang Chuanqi answer the phone: "Boss Qiu, hello, you said you want to invest in Wang Wei's new film? Oops, what a coincidence..."

"To tell you the truth, the heroine of director Luo Jianzhou's new film is waiting for Xiao Zhen's nod, and the first offer was 8 million. If she hadn't had a good relationship with you and was willing to give priority to Dunhuang, I wouldn't have to waste so much words. Leah.”

…

Although Shen Zhenyi became famous, she only filmed one movie and became famous for less than a year.

Alas, it’s better to quickly apply for payment from above.

This is true.

Wang Chuanqi was speechless.

"Although we don't plan to embed too many advertisements in the movie, there is more than one manufacturer competing for each type of embedment. If I didn't value the reputation of the manufacturer more, I would give priority to your Honor Computer. Advertising implantation in computers would have been long ago. It was taken down by your colleagues."

"Let's not just look at how much Xiaozhen's quotation has increased, but also look at how much she can bring to the crew. Didn't you say that just because of her joining, manufacturers who are willing to pay sponsorship fees are lining up!"

Moreover, she was given 8 million yuan per person. The salary of the actors in "The Genius Gunfighter" may not easily exceed 10 million yuan. This is really a big burden for a small and medium-cost film.

The domestic actresses who can get this quotation are basically the best in the second tier, with at least several successful works under their belt.

With the agent's hard arguments, we also secured sharing agreements for offline aspects such as TV and DVD, but the ratios were very low, with none exceeding one percent.

"Don't believe the lies outside. I can responsibly tell you that "The Genius" is definitely an atypical masterpiece, and its investment potential is A+."

Dear friends, I just received the website message, and the second round of recommendations will be on Sunday.
