"What do you say in the end?"
In the large office on the top floor of Huayi's office building.
The two brothers of the Wang family sat on both sides of the coffee table, and a rippling of white smoke was rising on the table.
As soon as the king spoke, the hot exhalation was blown away by the chill in his tone.
"Hehe..." Xiao Wang did not answer directly, but sneered first.
Then he took a sip of tea and made a sucking sound. I don’t know if it was helpless or unhappy.
"Zhang Yuan...the lion spoke loudly!"
"After finding him, he discussed for a long time."
"So he wanted this Count. ”
Wang Zhonglei raised his hands.
The left hand was one, and the right hand was five.
"1.5 million US dollars..." The king understood and muttered. "There's no way, who made the foreign director think he must be." "Yes, his performance is indeed much better than the positions we have found." br>"But I have never heard of this price." Wang Zhongjun frowned.
"When filming "Night Banquet", Zhang Ziyi only received 2 million US dollars."
The king compared horizontally, feeling that the salary was so high.
But Zhang Ziyi got 2 million US dollars in "Night Banquet" because she lost the bad debt of "Memoirs of Geisha", and she had already cut her salary.
If there is no "Memoir of a Geisha", her salary will be at least 3 million US dollars.
If "Memoirs of Geisha" not only failed but also achieved great success, then the international chapter can even get a pay second only to Li Lianjie and Chen Long.
But there is no if in history. If you lose, you will have to bear the price. "According to the current exchange rate, 1.5 million US dollars, but it exceeds 10 million." Wang Zhongjun roughly calculated.
This is a huge sum of money. "But Zhang Ziyi can get a million dollars in film pay because of the blockbusters ", "Heroes", "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". "Xiao Wang analyzed.
"In addition, these films have made her popular among foreigners."
"In fact, in addition to these costumes, it is also very important for Chen Long to ask her to act in "Peak Hour 2". " "Her pay was raised to more than one million US dollars."
"She couldn't even get a million Chinese coins before."
At this time, the price of the Chinese entertainment industry is actually very simple.
Being here and not going to Hollywood are two levels, clearly divided.
If you haven't been there, you won't get a tens of millions of dollars in salary even if you beat you to death.
Even Zhao Yanzi, the hottest among the four Dan and Double Ice, can’t do it!
Before filming "Rush Hour 2", the two films that made Zhang Ziyi famous were Lao Toozi's "My Father and Mother" and Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
In "My Father and Mother", she is the first female and her salary is less than 300,000 yuan.
In "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", she is a female supporting role. In addition to Chou Ge and Michelle Yeoh, Zhang Zhen is very rewarding, and the film's layout and props are also cost a lot, so it is left to The budget for supporting roles is not very large.
She only got more than 100,000.
In fact, whether it is Ang Lee or John Woo, these Hong Kong and Taiwan directors have always only given Hong Kong and Taiwan actors a huge pay, and they will also severely suppress the pay of mainland actors.
Unless you are internationally recognized, they will become polite to you.
Anyway, although the International Chapter was already very popular before filming "Rush Hour 2", the combined pay was less than one million Chinese coins.
As soon as he was following Uncle Long, he took off immediately.
Otherwise, they were all kung fu superstars, and I only heard that they had never had the Li family class. "Actually, Zhang Yuan's situation is very similar to Zhang Ziyi back then." Xiao Wang continued.
"First, I filmed several top-notch productions by domestic directors."
""Night Banquet", "The Golden Armor in the City"."
"These two last year In fact, he has helped him lay his groundwork."
"Coincidentally, the leader of him and Zhang Ziyi's trip to Hollywood was Chen Long."
"Accumulating strength and going abroad, the salary immediately took off!"
"I checked After that, Robert also checked it. "
"Xinyi took the script of "Reaper 3" to him while filming "Rush Hour 3". "
"Give it 1.2 million US dollars offer. ”
"This point can be confirmed to be true. We cannot be deceived at the same time. This kid does not have the ability to block and manipulate all information channels."
The king nodded slightly after hearing his brother's words.
The offer is 1.2 million US dollars, which means you can still add it.
If the price given by Hollywood companies is used as a reference, the 1.5 million US dollars is not an exaggeration.
It is within a reasonable range.
Although the big men in the imperial circle are always above the top, they think that their circle is the center of the universe.
But when they meet foreigners, they lose their temper instantly.
They believe whatever the white people say, otherwise they would be fooled by Harvey.
So now Zhang Yuan has endorsed the crew of "Death is Coming".
The king who just thought he was too expensive just now even thinks it is quite reasonable.
I passed the silence in my heart. "The problem is not only the pay, he also made many requests." Xiao Wang sighed. "First of all, the character's makeup." "He requires himself to have a certain decision-making power." "If you are not satisfied, you can discuss modifying the makeup with the crew. ”
"I also proposed to take the makeup artist myself."
Wang Zhongjun exhaled his nose and leaned back.
For big stars, it is not uncommon to make up the right to make makeup.
But usually this matter is mentioned by an actress, and he, a male actor, also makes such a request.
It’s not that the Hollywood team’s aesthetic is worrying!
Even if I play a villain, I have to consider my own face!
"Also, he also asked to modify the stories and settings of some characters."
"The point he put forward seemed to want the character to be more deteriorating, so don't be so One-sided and rigid. "
"There are not many modifications, and it does not affect other characters and overall stories." "
"Hmph, if there is no big impact, give it to him." The king nodded in agreement.
Zhang Yuan wanted the right to modify the makeup and scripts in order to eliminate the "Fu Manchu" transformation.
The original character design draft was a long black hair shawl, a slender goatee with a face, and a gloomy makeup.
Absolute yellow peril template!
After working in the industry of actors reaches a certain level, if you want to move up, you have to take the initiative to take the initiative to take the social responsibility.
Brother Hua doesn't smoke, and he will die if he plays a bad person.
This is social responsibility.
So too.
"Drunk Fist" is his big hit, and this drama has completely opened up a road to the separate category of "Kung Fu Comedy".
"Drunk Fist 1" made Chen Long popular on both sides of the Taiwan Strait, while "Drunk Fist 2" became popular abroad, accumulating a lot of overseas popularity for Uncle Long.
But Chen Long said in person that after filming "Drunk Fist", he felt that this role was not good.
Drinking and fighting all day long, and the more you drink, the more you fight, the more you fight, which will easily have a negative impact on young people.
So when he was filming "Drunk Boxing 2", he designed the final battle between Huang Feihong drinking industrial alcohol, and eventually got rid of his brain and became a fool.
It's just that Jiahe felt that the ending was too miserable and too radical, so she didn't agree.
It changed to a relatively mild ending of temporary blindness due to industrial alcohol.
The ending of becoming a fool was only placed on the DVD released later.
This is actually a social responsibility.
If a person wants to move up, he must have requirements for himself.
The "Twelve Zodiacs" filmed later was very "national" from the theme.
This film was started in France. The second year after the film was broadcast, the owners of the Pino family of France, namely the owners of the Saint Laurent, Bousselong, and Gucci brands, donated Rat Heads to China for free The two cultural relics and rabbit head.
Of course, the French guys are not kind-hearted.
Because since 2012, China has become the world's largest luxury consumer market.
The donation from the Pino family is somewhat of a sign of showing goodwill to the country, and I want to make more money and gain some policy advantages.
Because China is more shameless among big countries, if you give your sincerity, he will really give you good things.
Because you need to be a role model to attract others to surrender again.
Unlike some countries, they like to trick them into entering the door and then kill them.
The film "The Twelve Zodiacs" is blocked at the time and the shooting location is so clever. It is absolutely impossible to say it is a coincidence.
But this is also the reason why Chen Long has many bad things in private, but the country still takes him seriously.
Because he has created a very positive and positive image of a Chinese in the film and television industry, especially on the world stage.
The situation Zhang Yuan is facing is similar now.
He doesn't care about the character of Yujiang's God of War.
But when you reach your own hands, you cannot appear in this image!
It can be a bad person, but it cannot be disgusting.
So he argued in the negotiations with Robert and asked for a change of the setting.
You cannot kill innocent people indiscriminately, especially women and children.
When he asked himself to wear makeup, Robert initially shook his head repeatedly and opposed it severely.
But Zhang Yuan said that he would contact the art director and makeup artist of "The Golden Armor in the City". And refer to the style of Jay Chou’s golden armor in the photo to modify it.
In the film, Jay Chou used a golden robe and a golden armor.
The equipment is actually very similar to what Hollywood gives to Yujiang God of War.
After hearing that it was someone who had used by Lao Taozi, he saw that he was domineering and handsome, so he took a step back to convenience.
"Ha, makeup and script." The king chuckled, "This is all the treatment of big stars."
"He is now the treatment of big stars."
"This month He was on the cover of "Harabazaar". "Wang Zhonglei pointed to the magazine on the magazine stand next to him.
"Su Bin is also a smart and merciless woman. She will follow whoever is popular."
"But he mentioned more than makeup and scripts."
" >
"The film pay, which is the 1.5 million US dollars, he asked to pay first and then shoot."
No mistakes, one song, one song, one content, one book, one bar, one bar, one bar, one bar!
"Fuck!" After hearing this, the king sweared.
"He thought he was!"
"Is Zhou Runfa?"
Everyone in the circle knows that Fa Ge always asks to pay first and then take photos.
"He said he thought so because of the previous "Soldier Assault". " "I don't want to settle the account anymore."
Hearing this, Wang Zhongjun remained silent. Go down. "I didn't say I didn't give it to you, so I just stared at this little money all day long." He also complained.
It is not clear that you will be denied debts, but if you delay for ten or eight years, you will lose much money just by interest and depreciation.
When talking about this, the two brothers of the Wang family are actually a little guilty.
Know that you are in a disadvantage. "So he now requires a $1.5 million payment." "The investment income of "Soldier Assault" must also be settled."
Zhang Yuan clearly came to ask for the account and did not trust your goodwill.
If it were in the past, if he made this series of requests, the two brothers of the Wang family could blow him out.
It's just bullying others by virtue of power.
But now it's his!
The white director stood by him.
The former number one sister in the imperial circle, Cixi.
They still tremble when they saw the foreign master.
Besides, Hua Yi also wants to go out to sea to make money.
Who is popular overseas at this time?
Of course it was Zhang Yuan who was on CCTV and major foreign media!
The news on the other end of the Lighthouse Country has been reported, and it can be said that it is a familiar face.
The two of them also thought that the advantage of using Zhang Yuan was that the film could add an actor recognized by foreigners.
This will help the overseas box office market.
Even these two brothers have to admit that among the younger generation of Chinese actors, he has this function.
Home artists are really not in front of him.
"This kid, I haven't seen him for a while, and he actually climbed up to us!" "It's impossible to pay the full payment in advance, at most 70%. "After thinking it through, the king gave instructions. "As for the cooperative investment income of "Soldier Assault". " "Go to the financial report to settle with him." "But the same is true, you have to pay in installments. ”
"Give him three to five percent first."
"The rest..." When he said this, the King Zhongjun showed a sinister and fierce look.
"Don't worry!"
"This kid thought he won with this drama."
"I can challenge us."
" >
"Then you have to teach him a lesson!"
"Don't he want money?"
"Okay, the remaining money can be used as a bargaining chip."
" >
"What bargaining chips?" Xiao Wang looked up in confusion.
"That person's bargaining chip!"
"Oh, that person!" Wang Zhonglei also showed a cunning look. "When the time comes, let him choose one of the people and money." "It's amazing!" Xiao Wang slapped his face and showed a look of pleasure. "This way, he can make it clear about the consequences of negotiating conditions with us." "He is still too young and confident."
"Hahahaha..."
In the office, two woofers laughed alone.
So long later, Zhang Yuan received a notice from Huayi, asking him to sign a contract with the company.
And expressed that he had accepted his conditions roughly.
"Hahahaha."
Zhang Yuan sat proudly on the recliner in the courtyard and laughed loudly... He was a little bit decent. "This is 1.5 million US dollars!" Cheng Hao, who was standing beside him, his eyes widened when he learned that the other party had accepted it. "Actors of the same age may not be able to make these things even if they make ten TV series." "Stop laughing." The good sister patted his shoulder.
"When you smile, I always think of Cao Cao from Teacher Bao Guoan."
"It's not just $1.5 million, but I can finally recover that investment." At this point, Zhang Yuan clenched his fists hard.
"If I invest with Huayi in the future, I will be my grandson!"
"Why are you doing this, aren't you afraid that the two brothers of the Wang family will be angry?" Cheng Hao also knew that the two brothers dominated each other, and they also knew that the two brothers were domineering. , afraid that he will suffer a loss.
"They are actually not very easy to touch me now, because on the surface, I am considered Hua Yi's person."
"If they ban me, it is equivalent to telling everyone that Hua Yi is right. How ruthless are you doing with your own actions?”
"Who dares to come to Huayi?"
"This goes against their original intention of attracting more people to join the game."
Zhang Yuan took this point.
The more you encounter these unreasonable people, the more you cannot bow your head and show weakness. "And which one is important to them with anger and investment of at least 20 million yuan?"
"That must be money." The good sister replied without hesitation.
After all, the most painful thing in a person's life is that he is still alive and his money is gone. "Okay!" "Then you have work, money, everything goes well." Zhang Yuan stood up and stretched.
"Since I'm so happy, I'll call everyone to celebrate."
"After the filming of "Rush Hour 3", I was already saying that I was going to have a meal."
"Let's go in two days."
Zhang Yuan cleared his throat with some guilt.
"Then what... I have had some things to do these days."
"No time to eat."
Cheng Hao narrowed his eyes and said, "What's the matter?"
"Work."
"I am the producer on the other end of "Apple" and have never seen it on the crew." "You have to go to the Magic City." "Hehe..." The good sister chuckled and replied.
Is Fan Fei, that fairy in the crew of the Demon City? She knows it.
"You remember that you are a producer, but the producer doesn't have to go there in person." She added accent to the word "up".
"Where do you want to go? I'm going to supervise the worker."
"Best, there will be Xixi in the crew from now on. Please give me a greeting." Cheng Hao took care of him.
They also filmed "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" together, and they are quite familiar with each other.
It is completely different from the attitude towards Fan Xiaopang.
The good sister thought, Aunt Liu followed the whole process.
Even if Zhang Yuan has any thoughts, it is useless.
So she was relieved.
And he didn't treat this young girl who was usually very kind and polite as an opponent.
I can only say that the most dangerous place is the safest place.
And vice versa.
The safest place and the most dangerous place.
She didn't know, so Zhang Yuan turned around and went out to have dinner with the mother and daughter of the Liu family... (This chapter is over)
