Chapter 175 Telephone
This is also the reason why Wang Shu does not want to be an artist manager.
Because, as time goes by, artists who have benefited from the era dividends and can get high salaries have withdrawn from the stage, and artists of the new era have become the mainstay.
Conflicts between artists and companies that are both producers and artists’ managers are bound to break out.
Wang Shu knows that in the future, the domineering terms between artists and management companies can be as high as 9.5:0.5.
The brokerage company gets 9.5%, and the artist gets 0.50%. Moreover, the artist does not have a basic salary. When he has no work to do, he pays for food, drink, housing, and other expenses out of his own pocket.
If it is a company that is both a producer and an artist agent, and requires its artists to star in a low-paying film, and its artists only receive 0.5% of the film's salary, it cannot refuse.
Exploitation is outrageous.
It's even better than Zhou Papi.
In the future, wait until the conflict becomes out of control.
Relevant policies will inevitably be benchmarked against Hollywood in the United States, which separates artist management from producers, and introduces policies to protect the rights of artists.
It is undeniable that some artists can earn 1 million from one job after another.
But if his contract is open at 9.1, the brokerage company will get 90%, and he will get 10%.
In other words, he has an income of 1 million, and the brokerage company can have an income of 9 million.
This is definitely not equitable for a huge market.
Therefore, when conflicts accumulate, relevant departments will sort them out.
After all, there are no stones to cross the river in Hollywood.
Wang Shu is now working on clothing, accessories, and milk tea brands. Once these are completed, he can get involved in other industries.
There is no need to do relatively thankless things for the sake of artist management.
There must be a pattern.
Of course, if the brand is not established, it does not mean that you cannot become an artist manager.
As long as the contract is more generous, even if the limelight changes in the future, the reputation will not be damaged.
Of course, if you get to the level of Zhang Yimou and Zhou Xingxing, you can also get involved.
Jiang Wenli saw that Wang Shu did not seem to be cheating, and immediately said: "It's okay not to be an artist manager."
"In this way, other artist management companies will only greet you with a smile instead of being angry. Hostility.”
Wang Shu smiled faintly and followed Jiang Wenli's thoughts without further explanation.
Jiang Wenli looked sideways at Wang Shu and whispered: "That's it for today. After returning to the capital, we will meet again next time when we have the opportunity."
"Then next time I will be Wenli Just treat me to dinner," Wang Shu joked.
Hearing this, Jiang Wenli glanced at Wang Shu and said with a smile, obviously in a good mood: "Okay, I'll treat you to dinner next time."
"Then I'll be waiting." Wang Shu He didn't care about Jiang Wenli's angry gaze and said with a smile.
"Haha." Jiang Wenli smiled faintly, and then said, "Don't worry."
Then he waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
"Be careful on the road." Wang Shu was concerned. shouted.
When Jiang Wenli heard this, she smiled knowingly and separated from Wang Shu.
The hotels where the two of them stayed were not in the same place, and Jiang Wenli had a car to pick her up, so she did not go with Wang Shu.
Wang Shu watched Jiang Wenli leave, turned around and returned to the hotel.
The hotel he stayed in was the same hotel as Sun Li and Liu Yan. Because Sun Li and Liu Yan were called by China Film to promote "Space Traveler", they were responsible for related matters.
Wang Shu returned to the hotel and took a shower. He lay on the bed and took out his cell phone to send a text message to Sun Li, "Have you slept?"
After a while, Sun Li's text message was replied. , "Sleeping."
Seeing this, Wang Shu dialed Sun Li's mobile phone number.
After the call was connected, Sun Li pretended to be angry and said: "You said you were asleep, why are you calling me?"
"Asleep? Then, who is talking to me?" Wang Shu said with a smile.
"Hmph." Sun Li snorted coldly and said with her mouth raised, "Why are you calling me so late?"
"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you are tired?" Wang Shu said softly.
When Sun Li heard this, her tone softened and she replied: "Mind yourself."
Then he asked, "Is the dinner over?"
"Well, I've returned to the hotel." Wang Shu responded.
"Then why don't you go to bed early? Aren't you going to rush back to the set tomorrow?" Sun Li said angrily.
Wang Shu responded in a low voice: "I'm getting ready to rest. I just wanted to call you when I got back to the hotel to ask about your situation."
Sun Li heard this Her heart warmed at the words, but she kept in mind what she had said to Wang Shu last time. From that time on, the two of them were just ordinary friends and would never cross the red line again, so she gritted her teeth and said: "Sleep with you, I have a big job." What do people have to worry about? ”
"Okay." Wang Shu smiled and said, "See you tomorrow."
"Yes." Sun Li responded softly and hung up the phone.
Sun Li, who had just hung up the phone, suddenly thought of something and dialed Wang Shu's number again.
Wang Shu was a little confused when he saw Sun Li calling again.
"I forgot to ask you just now, how was the award ceremony? Did you win any awards?" Sun Li asked after answering the phone.
"I got it, I got the Golden Deer Award." Wang Shu said with a smile.
"Congratulations, haha, stop talking and go to bed early." Sun Li said with a smile after hearing this, and then hung up the phone.
Wang Shu shook his head helplessly.
After finishing the call with Sun Li, Wang Shu was just about to go to bed when his cell phone rang again. He thought it was a text message from Sun Li, but when he picked it up and looked at it, he found that it was from Liu Yan.
"Has Director Wang returned to the hotel?" Liu Yan asked.
"I'm back. I just took a shower and am getting ready to go to bed." Wang Shu replied.
"Are you tired?" Liu Yan asked with concern.
"It's okay." Wang Shu replied with a smile.
"Director Wang, did you win the award at the award ceremony?" Liu Yan sent a text message to ask.
"I got it, the Best Chinese Feature Film Award." Wang Shu replied.
"Ah! Golden Deer Award! Congratulations to Director Wang." Liu Yan has done his homework and knows that the Best Chinese Feature Film Award is the Golden Deer Award, the highest honor at the Changchun Film Festival.
"Haha, thank you." Wang Shu replied with a smile.
"Director Wang, can our "Love Traveler" participate in domestic film festivals in the future?" Liu Yan couldn't help but ask.
This was a good question, and Wang Shu was suddenly stunned.
He suddenly discovered that the film festival he didn't want to deal with was a rare opportunity for other actors in the film to win awards.
Whether it is a starring role, a supporting role, a camera, etc., it is a rare opportunity for them.
Then he replied: "It should be possible."
He doesn't have to go to domestic film festivals, but he can let the crew go with the film on their own.
"Really? Can I go to the award ceremony with Director Wang in the future?" Liu Yan asked immediately.
"Yes." Regardless of whether it was possible or not, Wang Shu replied first.
The two chatted for a while, and Wang Shu said that he needed to rest early because he had to rush back to the crew in the capital tomorrow.
Liu Yan suddenly realized that Wang Shu was very busy, and immediately replied: "Yeah, Director Wang, go to bed early and see you tomorrow."
She, Wang Shu, Sun Li, three They took the same ticket and flew back to the capital at the same time.
"Well, see you tomorrow." Wang Shu replied, ending the exchange of text messages with Liu Yan.
Wang Shu was lying on the bed. He hadn't slept for a while when his cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from Zhou Xun.
"Congratulations on winning the Golden Deer Award." Weekly News.
Wang Shu then dialed the other party's phone number and asked softly: "Are you still asleep?"
"I'm going to sleep soon." Zhou Xun said softly.
Her voice was hoarse and sounded different.
"Well, I'm going to sleep soon too." Wang Shu said with a smile.
"Haha, congratulations on winning the Golden Deer Award." Zhou Xun dictated the previous text message again.
"It's a pity that you didn't win the Best Actress Award." Wang Shu said with a sigh.
Hearing this, Zhou Xun said speechlessly: "With Sister Wenli here, it is impossible for me to win the best actress, okay?"
If Jiang Wenli starred in something else Maybe we can compete for the drama.
However, Jiang Wenli won the Best Actress at Cannes through "The Tuner".
Zhou Xun doesn’t think Jiang Wenli has a chance to win the award after she was nominated for Best Actress at the Changchun Film Festival for this role.
"Why do I hear your tone of voice, as if you are blaming me?" Wang Shu laughed and teased after hearing this.
“Isn’t it?” Zhou Xun said angrily.
"Haha." Wang Shu chuckled softly, knowing that Zhou Xun was joking, and then changed the subject and asked: "When will you go back?"
"Tomorrow." Zhou Xun gave an affirmative answer.
"I will rush back to the crew tomorrow." Wang Shu said.
Hearing what Wang Shu said, Zhou Xun had something to say. She said, "Why did you choose Fan Binbin as the heroine of the new play?"
"What? Are you jealous?" Wang Shu laughed and teased.
"Who is jealous of you? Can you stop being so narcissistic?" Zhou Xun snorted with a hot face.
"Haha." Wang Shu laughed twice, a little relieved from the embarrassment, and then explained, "When I shoot idol dramas, the first thing I look for for the heroine is a famous actress."
"Furthermore, They are also willing to appear in idol dramas."
"Fan Binbin is just right."
After that, he joked, "It's not like someone who has to get a movie contract before they are willing. Starring."
In fact, Wang Shu originally planned to choose Zhou Xun as the heroine of that movie.
Coincidentally, when an idol drama changed its heroine, he took this opportunity to increase the value of the script.
"What? You feel like you've suffered a loss and want to regret it?" Zhou Xun said angrily when he heard this.
“How can I?” Wang Shu responded with a smile, and then said, “If I told you that I originally wanted you to star in the heroine of that movie, how would you feel now? ? "
"." Zhou Xun was a little angry at first, but he was suddenly stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly felt a huge loss.
She opened her mouth, "You want to tell me that you originally wanted me to play the heroine in that movie script, and then you used the movie script you originally wanted me to star in to trick me into starring in your idol. Drama?”
"How smart!" Wang Shu said with a smile.
Zhou Xun's face darkened when he heard this, and he said: "I only have one idea now."
"What idea?" Wang Shu asked pretending to be confused.
“I want to strangle you to death.” Zhou Xun snorted angrily.
