You don't understand the happiness of the director

After Yang Mi read the interview news on Sina.com, her heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Various emotions were intertwined and very complicated.

First of all, I must be excited, my Brother Quan, that’s my Brother Quan!

Then there was anger, you Wang Fugui, I am your little Mimi, and you even hid it from me!

Finally, he was relieved. He seemed to have told himself that he had made a movie and that he would be the heroine of his movies in the future. He even laughed at him.

But can you really blame yourself? The first time I wrote a screenplay, I was nominated for an Oscar, and the first time I directed a movie, I made 100 million. No normal person would dare to believe it. This is quite explosive in a novel, right?

At this time, Mimi couldn't imagine the astronomical figure of 100 million. It was too far away from her. No wonder she didn't even blink when she bought clothes that were so expensive.

Based on their relationship, Brother Quan should congratulate him on any happy event.

But after looking at the time, it should be after midnight in the United States at this time. However, I am in the most full mood right now, and I am afraid that I will be discouraged after sleeping, so... no matter what, call me!

However, when she got outside and avoided the crowd, Yang Mi was hesitant about how to speak. Should she angrily scold this guy for hiding it from her right away, or should she just kneel down and lick the Hollywood director and ask him to send the heroine's contract quickly?

She pressed her finger on the dial button and hesitated. At this time, Zhou Xun helped her make a decision.

"Hey, Xiaomi, what are you doing?" Zhou Xun suddenly appeared behind him and touched his shoulder, which in turn affected the nerves and muscles in his arm, directly causing his fingers to point downward, biu!

The phone call has been dialed!

"Ah, Sister Xun, I, I'm on the phone."

"Oh, let's fight then, bye."

"Sister Xun, why did you come to the company at this time?" Seeing that the call was not dialed, Yang Mi asked overly.

Zhou Xun smiled and said, "Oh, my contract has expired and will not be renewed. Come over and say goodbye to Teacher Li and the others." (Note 1)

"What?!" Yang Mi was shocked. The first lady from the company ran away!

She wanted to ask again, but her phone was already connected, so she had to wave goodbye to Zhou Xun.

"Hey, Mimi, what's the matter?"

Yang Mi finally knew how to speak, "I just met Sister Xun, Zhou Xun."

"Why, she encouraged you to smoke again?!"

"No, not before. Just listen to me and don't interrupt," Yang Mi chuckled. "Her contract with the company has expired, and it will not be renewed. We don't have a sister in the company anymore."

Wang Quan took a look at Zhou Xun's later works. They were all Huayi's for a long time, so he probably knew what was going on.

People tend to flow to higher places, and Rong Xinda really doesn't have any decent film resources except Li Shaohong, who is declining.

"What, you want to be this first sister?" Wang Quan teased.

Yang Mi twisted on her toes, "Oh, I'm far behind. There is no Sister Xun. The company still has Zeng Li and Zhang Jingchu. They have all played heroines in movies."

Wang Quan didn't know that these two female stars were also in Rong Xinda. Zeng Li didn't know much about it, but he did know that Zhang Jingchu had acted in many good movies later. If she was in Rong Xinda, then Mimi would never be able to get ahead. .

"That's it, Mimi, how long does your contract with Rong Xinda last?"

Bang bang bang!

Yang Mi's heart suddenly jumped a few times.

"The eight-year contract signed in 2002 still has four years left. What's wrong~" she asked in a low voice.

"Oh, it's nothing. I just want to test your arithmetic skills." Wang Quan smiled.

Yang Mi was angry, "My arithmetic is taught by a mathematics professor from Qinghua University. You don't need to take the test. I'm so awesome!"

"Yes, yes, you are great, then you can wait until the contract expires in four years."

"What else?"

"Let's talk about starting your own company. Do you still want to work for others all your life?"

Wang Quan believes that Yang Mi will not live in depression for a long time. The film and television library does not describe much about the artist's private life. Apart from Yang Mi's failed marriage and the products after marriage, it only mentions that she once founded an entertainment media company. Many bad movies were made at that time, and I eventually left that company.

Getting kicked out of the company you founded? Not sure, but it can be seen from this incident that Mimi has some potential to be a boss. At least she is really good at arithmetic.

Who wouldn't want to be their own boss? In Rong Xinda, a small artist like her gets more than half of the commission taken away, and the majority belongs to others!

Although the company helps introduce resources, are my own efforts so insignificant? Do you only deserve 30%? !

She might not have noticed it before, but after Brother Quan's instructions, she suddenly felt like there was a bone on the back of her head.

"No, Brother Quan, don't wait four years later. Besides, I'm not good at all. I really thought about working for myself. Please teach me, Brother Quan!" Yang Mi gave up decisively and put on an or2 posture.

"Then how much is your liquidated damages?" Wang Quan asked.

"When I file for breach of contract, the company has to calculate the total value I created in the past year, which is my remuneration plus the company's income, multiplied by the years in which the contract has not been fulfilled," Yang Mi tragically discovered, "In the past year, It was the busiest time for me. I filmed two heroines, plus various activities, the total income was at least more than 300,000, and I only got a little over 100,000. There are four years left in the contract, and the liquidated damages are at least 1.2 million. Let’s get started!” (Note 2)

Thinking of this, Yang Mi immediately gave up her thoughts of terminating the contract. She didn't dare to open her mouth to Wang Quan for 1.2 million, and she had only made a few money from Rong Xinda. In the past four years, it was only a few hundred thousand. , but asked her to pay so much money, she would die a coward.

This amount of money is actually not much for Wang Quan, but the problem is that he has no money now. Even if Paramount's money arrives, it will be in the company's account and will be used for many purposes in the future, but he still has no money.

So this matter can only be done wisely.

Wang Quan's head was spinning very quickly, and he suddenly thought of a way to break the situation, "Oh, then your company shouldn't be too kind."

"Ah? That's how kind you are. It's more than 1.2 million. My parents have lost everything and can't even afford it!" My father is just an ordinary policeman, and my mother is a housewife without a job. Yang Mi is depressed. It's all Wang Fugui's fault. Take good care of yourself. I'm working part-time. If I have nothing to do, I can still think about Sister Rong Xinda. It would be better for you to trick me into canceling the contract. If you cancel the contract, you support me!

Wang Quan smiled and said, "If from now on you stop accepting jobs arranged by the company, or accept less jobs, because your studies are more important, then how much liquidated damages will you have to pay this time next year?"

With a "ding" sound, a light flashed in Yang Mi's mind!

"Ah! Brother Quan, it has to be you. Why do you have such a big brain!"

Wang Quan warned again, "Remember not to go too far. If your intentions are discovered by the company, they will definitely increase the price of your work arbitrarily, and you will still be compensated in the end."

"Yes, I understand, but," Yang Mi rubbed the grass on the ground with her toes, "What will happen after the contract is terminated? I can't handle it alone without the company's resources."

Wang Quan smiled, "Am I not your resource?"

"Hey, after being nominated for an Oscar, you have to be tough on your words."

Finally, Yang Mi finally made it clear what she wanted to say.

Wang Quan was not surprised, "Did you see the news on Sina?"

"Well, not only was he nominated for an Oscar, but he also made a lot of money as a director. Congratulations."

"Then you don't blame me for making you wait another year to terminate the contract, do you?"

"How could it be possible? It's so much money. Even if you come up with it, I won't agree to it. You'd better wait for one year. After one year, four times will become three times. I'll work hard for another year. Hehe, maybe The money I have is enough.”

"You can rest assured if you think so, brother. The money I have has to be invested in new projects. You should study hard this year. Your freshman year is the time to lay the foundation."

"Well, it must be very late over there, so go to bed early, but why did I hear a popping sound? Your environment seems a bit noisy?"

Wang Quan said, "I was reshooting scenes at the farm. From the evening until now, the crew has been working very hard. They almost rolled their eyes."

"Ah, this is too hard! Isn't there such a lack of human rights in Hollywood?"

Wang Quan laughed, "Human rights are all relative, they are all bullshit."

He added, "The employee is exhausted. I'll let her rest. If you can't sleep at night, I can call you again tomorrow morning. I'm relatively free in the morning." The night in the capital is the morning here.

"Yeah," Yang Mi nodded hurriedly, "Then, brother, please tell me about the movie you made. Why is it so awesome?"

"Okay, let's talk about movies~"

After hanging up the phone, Megan let go of her hand covering her mouth, "Can I speak now, director?"

Wang Quan told her through actions, neigh as much as you like, little wild horse!

(Note 1: In fact, the contract between Zhou Xun and Rong Xinda expired in August 2005, but it has been adjusted back slightly for the sake of the plot.)

(Note 2: This method of calculating liquidated damages was made up by Lao Fo, and it is for the development of the plot. Don’t worry about how much liquidated damages were paid by celebrity agencies in 2006. If anyone knows the case, please let me know~)
