World-class directors in the entertainment industry

dx area.

A certain villa.

"It's time to eat..."

Liu Lan walked out of the kitchen with black chicken soup and shouted loudly.

"Here we come, Auntie..."

Two female voices agreed.

After a while, three women came downstairs.

Among them was a pregnant woman walking in the middle, supported by two women on the left and right.

"Slow down, slow down..."

Liu Lan saw her daughter-in-law's big belly and immediately stepped forward diligently.

This is the eldest son of the third generation of her family, the eldest grandson.

"What about that brat? Is he still sleeping?"

Qin Jianjun was already sitting at the dining table in the living room. After seeing everyone sitting down, he looked back and still didn't see anyone else, so he couldn't help but ask angrily.

"Uncle, I went to Qin Dong to read the information last night and went to bed very late. Let him sleep more."

Sisi stroked her belly with one hand and lifted it up for Qin Dong.

"Ignore him, let's eat first."

Liu Lan interrupted what Qin Jianjun was about to say, and first gave Sisi Cheng a bowl of black-bone chicken soup.

"Hmph... This brat has been more and more disobedient for two months since he came back. I have to call him every day during meal time."

Qin Jianjun felt that his family's status had dropped sharply again.

The only person who can be preached by him is his second son Qin Dong.

"Uncle, Qin Dong also suddenly became free. He is not used to it. In the past few years, he was busy all year round. Now he suddenly stopped filming for several months, so he is a bit lazy."

Mi Mi’s big eyes rolled around.

I think this is an opportunity to make a good impression in front of my future parents-in-law.

He spoke quickly.

"..."

Xianxian blinked and was stunned for a moment.

I always felt that she needed to say something at this moment.

But, I can't find anything to say in my mind.

"I can't even shut your mouth when I eat."

Liu Lan said angrily this time.

"Sisi, do you think the little one in your belly has been naughty recently? The due date is coming soon..."

After talking about his wife, Liu Lan started talking about the same old talk and became concerned about Sisi again.

Although there were three daughters-in-law sitting across from her at the moment, most of Liu Lan's focus was on Sisi.

Who knew that Sisi was carrying the eldest grandson of the third generation of her old Qin family?

The other two, Mimi and Xianxian, have flat stomachs, and they don't know when they will make any movement.

"Auntie, I'm used to it. It's normal for little guys to be dishonest."

"The villa next door has been converted into a delivery room, so don't worry."

Sisi knew what her future mother-in-law was thinking, so the first thing she did was to comfort her.

As an old man, in the past, giving birth to a child meant going to hell, so I was mostly worried.

Times have changed, so Sisi herself has nothing to worry about.

"Yes, yes, don't worry, don't worry. Dr. Zhou is a famous obstetrician and gynecologist in Beijing. I heard that many people have hired Dr. Zhou."

When Liu Lan thought about the villa next door, she really felt more worried.

In order for Sisi to give birth safely, her second son Qin Dong did not sit idle.

Not only did she transform the villa next door into a delivery room, she also spent money to buy a lot of the most advanced equipment needed for the delivery room.

He also hired Dr. Zhou at a high price, a well-known female doctor in her forties in Beijing.

According to Liu Lan's inquiry, Dr. Zhou had delivered babies to many people whom she had only seen on TV.

"Building your own delivery room will make it really convenient for you to give birth. Otherwise, you would have to go to the hospital in advance and wait..."

When talking about the house next door, Mimi was also very satisfied and said with a smile.

Nowadays, when you give birth to a baby, you have to be admitted to the hospital in advance before the due date.

No one knows when the baby will be born. If she really feels like giving birth at home before going to the hospital, it will be torture for the pregnant woman, and it is also dangerous.

The most important thing is confidentiality.

Although Sisi has the lowest name, she is still famous.

Next is Mimi, and the most famous one is Xianxian.

Confidentiality still needs to be maintained, and it is very necessary.

This is why Qin Dong took this into consideration and was willing to spend a lot of money to buy machines that ordinary people couldn't buy and transform them into a delivery room.

Even if Sisi is less famous, just a famous movie [Those Years] and a famous TV series [Bu Bu Jing Xin] still need to be kept secret.

Taking a step back, Sisi is not famous enough, so maybe she can keep it a secret even if she goes to the hospital. Then there are Mimi, Xianxian, and other women behind...

Although Sisi is pregnant now and other women are silent, it is only temporary.

If nothing else, other women will have to go through this step sooner or later.

...

"The actor you requested is a bit difficult to find, Qin..."

Inside the computer, Barry looked bitter.

"Barry, it's your DC's fault. Who made DC design this superhero image like this..."

Not only did Qin Dong not comfort him, but he deliberately took pleasure in his misfortune and made fun of him.

The two of them were using computers and video games, discussing the casting issues for the new DC Universe movie.

"Ha ha..."

"This expression is so funny."

A burst of laughter interrupted Qin Dong's desire to continue talking.

Watching Sisi, Mimi, Xianxian, the three women watching TV, smiling.

"You can laugh loudly, but don't let Sisi laugh too exaggeratedly."

Standing up helplessly, Qin Dong held his laptop and prepared to avoid the woman.

But he still couldn't control his mouth, so he said something casually.

"Hmph...stinky men are so partial."

Sisi smiled and said nothing.

Xianxian blinked, not knowing what to say.

Mimi has the most extroverted temper and directly attacks men.

"It's all about being partial. If you have the ability, you can have one too. I will support you when the time comes."

Qin Dong walked towards the study and turned around to complain again.

He doesn't hide his preference for pregnant women.

...

"Qin, your child should be born soon. I really want to congratulate you in person."

Barry had been silent before.

It wasn't until he looked inside the computer that Qin Dong's environment changed and he said with a smile.

"Barry, I received your congratulations, that's enough."

Sitting on the chair in the study room, Qin Dong adjusted the angle of his notebook.

"Although I can't go there in person, I will send someone to send you a red envelope."

"Well, if I didn't make an investigation mistake, it's your etiquette to send red envelopes, right?"

Barry Meyer smiled and said his plan.

Just don’t forget to confirm again.

You can't have good intentions and end up doing bad things.

"Yes, that's right. I will accept this red envelope without mercy when the time comes."

"Well, on behalf of my child, I would like to say thank you in advance."

Qin Dong nodded with satisfaction and said politely.

"Ha ha..."

Barry also smiled with satisfaction.

It’s just a red envelope, how much can it cost?

This little money is really not money to Barry.

The two of them laughed and chatted some more before continuing with their previous business.

"Qin, we still need time to choose actors. You happen to have a movie to shoot here, and you still have at least a few months to select actors. After all, the image of the actor you need this time is indeed very unique."

"It's really unique. In the entertainment industry nowadays, handsome guys and beauties are common. If you want to find an actor like that, you have to cast a wider net. You can ask Martin."

Qin Dong agreed with this view and did not forget to give Martin a hand in the end.

Once the movie is successful, the actors will inevitably become popular.

This is an important matter for management companies that rely on artists for their livelihood.

"Hey, Martin...if this actor is given to him, I'm afraid that Robert Downey Jr.'s incident will happen again."

Barry immediately understood Qin Dong's words and started to complain slightly.

There are no secrets in the industry. Disney's dissatisfaction with Robert Jr. can be hidden from ordinary people, but it cannot be hidden from Warner, who is also one of the six giants.

Why are most Hollywood series films trilogies?

The reason why there are so few series that exceed three parts is that actors' salaries have skyrocketed.

[Pirates of the Caribbean] The first three movies were so good, why was it that the fourth movie was filmed after so many years? Moreover, the fourth movie deleted all the male and female protagonists from the first three movies, and only retained the role of Captain Jack Sparrow, just to save money.

After the original trilogy, we originally planned to shoot a fourth part, but it turned out that the salaries of the three leading actors were too high and we couldn't afford to hire them.

Even if two characters were deleted and one starring character was retained, Disney would still be afraid of Johnny Depp's asking price and not dare to film it.

It was only after many years and Depp's salary was reduced that he filmed the fourth film again.

At the beginning of the new century, Sony's Tobey Maguire version of "Spider-Man" also stopped filming the fourth part after the trilogy.

The reason is also that Tobey Maguire’s asking price is too high and Sony can’t afford to hurt him.

It’s not like Hollywood companies don’t know this truth, they have also implemented the practice of packaging multiple films to limit the contracts of starring actors in series.

However, a contract is a contract, and it is difficult to operate in reality.

The three leading actors in the "Harry Potter" triangle signed a multi-film contract with Warner Bros.

In the end, the three actors jointly threatened Warner and would stop acting if they did not increase their remuneration based on the original contract.

So in order to appease [Harry Potter] fans around the world, Warner had no choice but to agree to this condition and changed the contract it had originally designed.

However, Warner was not a kind person and only gave the three leading actors a share of the box office profits.

So, after using the three leading actors to film the series in one go, and when they started to pay the salaries, Warner did its accounting and regarded the box office profit of "Harry Potter" as a loss.

For this reason, the three leading actors filed a lawsuit with Warner Bros., but ended up losing.

Warner's accounting was successful, and the court ruled in favor of Warner.

According to Warner's bill, the production cost of [Harry Potter], plus global promotion expenses, etc., the box office is indeed losing money. Warner must rely on other copyright income and offline discs to make a profit.

“Let’s wrap up multiple film contracts at once.”

"If Marvel gives the kind of contract that other actors except Robert Jr. would have."

Qin Dong said something casually after hearing this.

It's not that Qin Dong is on Barry's side, it's that Barry will act like this whether Qin Dong says so or not.

After all, Marvel's contract to package multiple film contracts with leading actors at once was not pioneered by Marvel.

Before Marvel was in dire straits and about to go bankrupt, Warner had already done this.

Qin Dong, who knew this clearly, would certainly not pretend to be confused.

"It's a good suggestion, but the premise is that the movie must be able to continue for a long time like Marvel."

Barry had an expression that I didn't expect, it looked very fake.

Warner had done this kind of contract ten years ago.

"Yeah... I believe in my own strength, and you should too, Barry."

Qin Dong started boasting without hesitation.
