In the reception room.
As the bundles of Chinese coins under the coffee table appeared in front of Ning Hao and his wife, the expressions of the two people who had just vowed suddenly changed.
Although "Crazy Stone" made more than 50 million yuan at the box office, Ning Hao's salary was only 100,000 yuan.
But he had nothing to complain about.
The film made a profit and opened his own path as a director. These two goals have been exceeded.
Once you get the promised money, no matter how high the box office is, it’s not yours.
People can't be too greedy.
Just because you're not greedy doesn't mean you don't need money.
During the previous filming of "Green Grass", he lost all the tea seeds.
Why do you want to shoot a MV in the future?
Now that he is famous, he gets hundreds of thousands of dollars in director fees for shooting a MV!
It’s not just about making money.
But now, the upright Chinese coins are placed in front of me.
The couple swallowed.
"Actually... we are still young. When we get older, we will have more time to rest." Xing Aina, who just said she wanted to take a rest, changed her mind.
"Yes, poetry and distance do not exist without an economic foundation." Ning Hao also changed his attitude.
[Received thanks from Xing Aina, script production +1! 】
[Received thanks from Ning Hao, +1 for camera understanding! 】
You see, it is actually very simple to make employees motivated at work.
Just give me enough money.
"Ahem." After Ning Hao coughed twice, he felt that he and his wife had behaved a bit out of character just now.
But under the influence of alcohol, he couldn't suppress his curiosity, so he asked.
"Are you... giving me the salary for my next film?"
Although Ning Hao drank so much, his eyes lit up when he saw the money!
I looked around for a moment.
A pile of ten thousand, there must be a hundred piles here.
That’s 1 million!
With "Crazy Stone" as the background, his next film will definitely get this number.
He is very confident about this.
Unexpectedly...
"No." Zhang Yuan gave a negative answer.
Ning Hao almost fell off the sofa.
No...then what are you showing me?
Are you kidding me?
Ning Hao just cursed in his heart, but Zhang Yuan spoke again.
"This is your bonus for this film."
"You deserve most of the credit for the success of "Crazy Stone"."
"I was on the set and saw the hard work of you and others."
"So this is the bonus after the movie is a hit."
"I will also give red envelopes to other crew members."
Suck it... Ning Hao was so moved after listening to it!
He has been in this business for many years.
I've never heard of a replacement bonus.
It would be great if other bosses don’t withhold bonuses!
Typical examples are Zhang Weiping and Lao Mouzi.
Every time when it was time to pay dividends, Zhang Weiping either ran away or complained about the company's difficulties and never paid enough as promised in advance.
Otherwise, people would ridicule him because he started out as a lunch box seller, so he is indeed not very big.
Gudeng!
Ning Hao rushed forward, hugging his thigh and shaking it vigorously.
"Hao has been drifting for half his life. He only regrets that he has never met his master. If he doesn't give up, Hao is willing to worship..."
"Stop, stop, stop..." Zhang Yuan quickly interrupted.
I can't let him finish what he has to say, as he will easily backstab me after he finishes.
But his excitement was within Zhang Yuan's expectation.
This is why if you give Fan Bingbing money, just punch it in your card.
Give him a pile of cash, and give him some small Chinese coins to shock.
1 million is not a big sum of money to Fan Bingbing, who already earns tens of millions per year.
But for Ning Hao and his wife, this is too much!
Make up for all the losses in previous years!
"You deserve it."
"What I want you to do is what you should do."
"Yes!" Ning Hao remembered that he had signed a film contract with Zhang Yuan.
According to the contract, it was only natural for him to be allowed to make films.
Being able to give this money is entirely due to the other party's character.
"Slow work produces careful work."
"I don't want you to start work now."
“My plan is to take a total of one and a half years from project establishment to completion.”
Zhang Yuan's goal was simple, he had to catch up with the expiration date of his gambling contract with Hua Yi.
After Ning Hao heard this, he looked at each other.
Not too much.
The time is actually very generous.
Half a year of research and polishing of the script, half a year of filming and production, and half a year of post-production promotion, there is plenty of time for each stage.
They thought Zhang Yuan was trying to squeeze the film out until it could be released within a year.
I didn't expect them to be very reasonable.
"Okay!" Ning Hao agreed directly without having to think about it.
"Okay, I will ask Dandan to pack the bonus for you and send it home together with you later."
"Hey hey hey... OK."
Everything is settled, let’s go out together with the couple.
"Mr. Han, Haozi and I just discussed it." Zhang Yuan came to Han Sanpin, who was bragging with Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang.
"We plan to slowly advance the next work, steadily, and hope to reach a higher level."
"Okay, that's what I've been waiting for!" Old Han grinned happily.
"In this way, the dividends from China Film Group will be considered as investment in the next film!"
"That's perfect."
Zhang Yuan did not expect that the other party would be so happy.
The film has not yet been approved, but China Film has already decided to invest in it.
Everyone around looked at him with envy.
This shows that Lao Han is very optimistic about them.
"You are so anxious to make a new movie."
"This is not just for making money..."
Huang Haibo drank more and planned to teach Lao Han a lesson.
Han Sanpin was about to curse.
We're discussing a movie, what's the matter with you?
Zhang Yuan quickly walked over and grabbed Huang Haibo.
He stretched out his hand to clasp his cinchuan ruler, and then exerted force.
"Hey..."
The man in pain was about to scream, but Zhang Yuan instantly raised his hand to cover his mouth.
"Come on, Dandan, Brother Haibo has drunk too much. Send him to the lounge to sit for a while."
Turning to look at Huang Xiaoming, he whispered in his ear.
"You are talking nonsense when you are drunk. There are many people here and it is easy to cause trouble. Please help him send him away."
"Hey!" Huang Xiaoming hurried to the lounge.
People came with him, and if Han Sanpin was offended, he would have to follow him.
After that, he hurried back to Lao Han and changed the topic.
"Mr. Han, I discussed with Ning Hao, since the style of this film is acceptable to the audience."
"Then our next work should continue this style."
"That's right!" Old Han drank a lot, and in his daze, he really forgot that someone just interrupted.
"Xiao Gang has always continued his style, and the audience is willing to pay."
"Your idea is very mature and I very much agree with it."
After laughing and joking for a while, he was relieved after confirming that Lao Han didn't care about what happened before.
Huang Haibo can't let him drink too much in the future.
"Bo, come on." Zhang Yuan called out to the last person to chat with tonight.
"I'm so happy today." Huang Bo grinned and bared his teeth after sitting down.
"Come."
Zhang Yuan didn't say anything, and directly pulled out a bunch from the side of the sofa.
A string of what?
Chinese currency.
This is called the construction site wrapping method. A bundle of money is tied tightly with a red plastic rope and can be carried away.
"Hahaha, aren't we too vulgar?" Huang Bo was so happy that he looked at his molars after seeing Qian: "I just like vulgar things!"
In "Crazy Stone", his salary was only 10,000.
Zhang Yuan gave him a bonus of 50,000 yuan.
It is almost equivalent to the salary of the male lead Guo Tao.
"Vulgar reality."
"Yes, it's true."
There is no recognition more direct than monetary recognition.
Only by talking about the vulgar first can we then talk about the elegant.
"Besides the money, there is something else."
Zhang Yuan took out two contracts just like he did with Zhang Tianai.
One is an agency contract and the other is a film contract.
"We work well together and have a good personal relationship."
"I think you are a perfect fit for our company's atmosphere."
"I'd love to have you join our team."
Huang Bo flipped through the contract on the table.
Five years, no more, no less.
In fact, he has been thinking about this recently.
It's no big deal to always hang alone, or to run a single gang.
After all, you need someone's help to go further.
Choosing whom to work with becomes a big question.
He knew his situation well. The appearance is ruined.
But he is confident in his professional ability, work attitude, and way of doing things.
But when cooperating with others, don’t look for those who are overbearing and unreasonable.
What if, after signing him, he was left alone, wouldn't he want to be a bad loser?
After cooperation, he felt that Zhang Yuan was out of temper.
Refreshing and generous.
He is unambiguous in his work and has strong abilities.
And he had seen everything that happened to Huang Haibo just now.
Zhang Yuan pressed the button for him and asked Huang Xiaoming to send him off.
This is saving him!
If it were anyone else, in this indifferent entertainment industry, not adding insult to injury and just watching jokes would be considered a noble character.
Huang Bo is a veteran of the Jianghu world and knows it very well.
If you can help someone you meet for the first time, let's help a pair of old brothers.
Human nature is found in the subtleties.
So he was very relieved about cooperating with Zhang Yuan.
Besides, they are very sincere.
Give money and return the film contract.
Huang Bo flipped through it. Comedy is still a popular type of spoof.
What Zhang Yuan took out was the movie "Big Movie: Tens of Billions" that Zeng Zhiwei had brought over.
In the salary column, it says three hundred thousand!
This is a high price that he has never received before!
You really don’t treat your own people badly.
After Huang Bo inquired, he understood that this was a movie that Zhang Yuan participated in and invested in.
If you don't squeeze other people's money, it's already pretty good if you squeeze your own people's pay.
Hua Yi is like this. The pay for making his own films is not high. Once they are loaned out, it will be Hua Yi's turn to earn the agent's dividends, and the price is set...
The price given by Zhang Yuan was not only fair, but also offered a lot of premium.
Huang Bo was really moved.
It wasn't a sudden idea, but a long thought.
However, he had one last thing to say.
"If I join your company, do I still have the right to choose the works I participate in?"
"Because I have a director friend..."
"I know, don't worry."
Huang Bo is quite particular.
His first movie was recommended by Gao Fang, but Bole was in charge after all.
So he always remembered the love between these two people.
"Of course. If there is a chance, I would also like to cooperate with Director Guan Hu."
"That's good, that's good..." Huang Bo dropped the last stone in his heart.
"Haozi and I will try our best to film our next movies with you. Everyone is familiar with each other. It is best to form a fixed team."
"Hey, I'll do whatever you want." He was naturally happy.
Huang Bo raised his head again and asked half-jokingly.
"If I don't sign the management contract today, will this contract have to be taken back?"
"No, the film suits you, it's yours to sign or not." Zhang Yuan replied calmly.
Huang Bo smiled and scratched his head.
Regardless of whether it is true or false, people feel comfortable listening to these words.
And Huang Bo knew that Zhang Yuan's words were most likely true.
He picked up the pen and signed his name confidently.
"Where do you live in the Imperial Capital now?" Zhang Yuan accepted the contract and turned around to ask.
He was not surprised that the other party would sign.
He gave him all the sincerity he could, and Huang Bo was also a smart man.
Although looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, his strength is weak.
But if you give eight yuan for ten yuan, or if you give eight yuan for one hundred yuan, anyone with a discerning eye will know who is better.
"I share a house with someone in the Fourth Ring Road." Huang Bo answered honestly.
Although he has been in the industry for several years, his salary is not much and he is not willing to spend it randomly.
"Stop sharing a flat. It doesn't suit your status as a big movie star."
"What you're saying is that the movie star's family doesn't even have enough food left."
The two joked with each other.
"Check out the house. I bought several new houses in Wangjing."
"Come and get the key tomorrow and live there temporarily."
"That's so embarrassing."
[Received thanks from Huang Bo, +1 for acting talent! 】
Just like Zhang Tianai, it's empty anyway, so let the employees live there.
When people have the conditions, they will vacate the house.
Newcomers in every family need support, that’s normal.
After everything was done, Zhang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally achieved tonight's goal.
I can finally relax a bit.
He returned to the courtyard and took the champagne from his assistant.
Bang!
The cork flew out and the wine splashed everywhere. At this moment, the atmosphere of the celebration party reached its climax.
Three large bottles of champagne were sprayed dry.
I have to say that middle-aged men are indeed a bit greasy.
Han Sanpin took champagne and sprayed it on Jiang Wenli, Fan Bingbing and other beautiful women.
If it weren't for Zhang Yuan's protection, Cheng Hao would probably have to do it all over himself.
Specially ask Zhao Jue to lock the door to the backyard.
Don’t let some drunk guy go to my study and urinate directly into my Steinway piano...
The quarrel lasted until about two o'clock in the middle of the night, and then it was over.
Zhang Yuan saw off the guests one by one at the door.
Ning Hao had already laid down and was carried directly to the room reserved for him alone.
Zhang Guoli and Feng Xiaogang are also lying down. Anyway, there are many guest rooms, so they have been arranged.
On the other hand, Han Sanpin is worthy of being a leader and has an extraordinary capacity for drinking.
Although when he was discharged from the hospital, he almost tripped over the door threshold and got chewed by the dog, but he still staggered into his car.
After we got into the car, we chatted with him for a long time.
The future of Chinese cinema depends on your generation.
Why do you want to give face to the Chinese film and television industry?
I was optimistic about you a few years ago.
Just listen.
You met this guy a few years ago!
Don't even know who I am.
After working for a long time, I returned to a home that was extremely messy, with cigarette butts, wine bottles, and garbage all over the floor.
I have to wait until tomorrow to find someone to clean it.
It was already past three o'clock when I lay down after taking a shower.
That's it, Cheng Hao is still waiting for him.
It’s not like you’re naked and waiting, but you’re holding your shoulders and asking questions.
"Huang Bo signed it."
"Yeah."
"Ning Hao have reached an agreement?"
"Yes."
"Fan Bingbing touched it?"
"Yes... Oh, no!" He was already sleepy, but he was woken up by the question.
"This thing of yours seems to be a police torture technique?"
"If you ask questions continuously and surprise me, you are treating me as a prisoner."
"Then you stayed in the room with her for so long?"
"That's it..."
He talked about the movie "Apple".
"As soon as I saw the male lead having a passionate scene with her, I refused on the spot!"
"How can a person like me, who is as pure as jade, as pure as jade, and as pure as jade, be able to act like this?"
"That's pretty much it." The good sister nodded with satisfaction.
"At most, I can be a producer."
"You still have to be with her..."
Without waiting for her to finish speaking, she pushed it directly.
Don't engage in verbal quarrels, otherwise you'll end up arguing with a woman and you won't be able to sleep tonight.
Let’s get straight to the point!
When the mattress makes a regular creaking sound, all problems disappear...
Thump thump thump!
Early the next morning, Zhang Yuan, who had just fallen asleep, was dragged out of his dreamland by knocks on the door.
"Brother Zhang Yuan, someone is looking for you."
"Coming."
I walked out of the backyard in a daze, and just as I was rubbing my eyes, I felt like I was being hugged by a bear.
"Who!"
"Me."
Look down.
"Brother Haibo?"
"Brother, Xiao Ming told me that I drank too much yesterday and shouldn't have talked nonsense."
After waking up this morning, Huang Xiaoming told him what happened last night.
Especially the incident about quarreling with Han Sanpin. After listening to it, he knew for the first time what it meant to be sweaty.
My underwear was soaked with sweat.
If you offend Lao Han, then stop messing around.
"Thank you for dragging me away, saving my life." Huang Haibo held his arm and refused to let go.
[Received thanks from Huang Haibo, +1 for script understanding! 】
Afterwards, he even came to the door to say thank you, which shows that this person actually has a good nature.
"Hey, it's a small matter, no need to say more. Drink less in the future and be careful with your words."
"I understand. If you are free today, I will treat you to dinner."
It was hard to refuse such kindness, and I remembered what happened to this descendant, so I sighed and made an appointment with him...(End of Chapter)
