Chapter 868 "Prison Break"

With a little anxiety, Qiu Yu approached Chen Hao and told him the whole story.

Congratulations to Chen Hao for getting a very high salary in the American drama industry chain. For a TV series that has not yet started filming and has not passed the market test, Chen Hao got a salary of 150 US dollars per episode. Just now, the major The media and websites have exposed this news one after another, and it has been officially recognized by the producer and the actors' union, confirming the authenticity of the news.

This is the United States. Chen Hao was a little surprised. The talks were close to collapse. It was the final negotiation between the team, the labor union and Fox. If they couldn’t reach an agreement, they would break up. Chen Hao didn’t mention many conditions, it’s all normal. All the actors asked for was the hard target condition of only signing for two seasons.

There is an actor union in it as a third party different from the Huaxia system, and in the end there will be an audit required by the cooperation between the two parties. In the current situation, Chen Hao feels that it is basically impossible to talk about it. He has the intention of giving up, so he entrusts His own team went to talk, and he put his hard indicators there, and agreed to the rest of the normal negotiation and normal signing, and the other party immediately agreed. The actor union, as the witness, is also the binding body between the two parties. It also has a role, which is what it is now. Fox On the one hand, you can directly announce the cooperation news to the outside world.

There is such a right, but under normal circumstances, no company would do this. They would work with the actors themselves to find a more suitable environment to announce publicly that everyone would stand together and leave it up to everyone to film for mutual cooperation. Stand side by side and cooperate with each other for photos.

Fox suddenly announced the news, and the remuneration for this episode of 150 million US dollars is far lower than Chen Hao's bottom line, even higher than the initial offer amount for the see-saw, although Chen Hao relies on the role of the clown, matching My own fame has made me one of the actors with a salary of tens of millions, but the salary of this 150 million episode is too scary. When "Game of Thrones" was the most popular, the five leading actors were only paid a million-level episode , that is the salary price after accumulating several seasons and having a large number of viewers and fans around the world.

Without such a crazy price, Swift and the people who saw him would not say congratulations, not only made money, but also earned all the attention.

Fox officially announced that the popular star MOUSE will participate in Fox's new drama "Prison Break", with a salary of 150 million per episode.

A simple official news similar to a work log, under the frantic forwarding of many media, suddenly became the hottest news in the world's entertainment circle. You must know that China is the largest buyer's market in the world today, and it is also the largest buyer's market in the film and television industry. Similarly, in the global box office of a movie, China alone can contribute a box office comparable to that of North America. If the derivative value of a TV series does not come to China, then your commercial value is limited.

With Fox's announcement, a new drama that has not yet been tested by the market has immediately become a drama with global expectations reaching a boiling point. Chen Hao's fans and Chinese audiences around the world alone gave this film the opportunity to start filming. It has been favored by advertisers before, and it has paved the way.

Chen Hao could understand that Fox used him for publicity. As early as when the other party found him and was willing to pay him a high salary, he knew that the other party would definitely use his fame to make a fuss. Mode, look at those famous actors in American dramas, more than [-]% of them are unknown, and suddenly a popular drama, after several seasons, makes you a popular artist.

Of course, big stars in American dramas have a full sense of labeling. After leaving the series that made them popular, it seems that no matter what they are filming, they are not going well. It has been the same for so many years. Gradually, in addition to their salary, these people In terms of commercial value, it is locked within the small scope of a drama. If you leave this drama, you will immediately lose a lot of commercial value, and even some concepts will not have much commercial value.

Fox took a new drama and found a popular star to play the leading role. Except for the name, there is no information to show the content of the story. This is completely subversive. If it succeeds, it is innovation. It's strange, especially the fact that the other party suddenly agreed and gave a higher pay from the hesitation that almost gave up. He was a little uneasy. The increase in pay was said to be a reason for him to cooperate with the promotion of the series. He has no possibility of passing the test. .

In the afternoon, in the face of everyone's congratulations, Chen Hao acted very calmly. He called the company's team and asked them to confirm every detail of the contract to ensure that there would not be any loopholes exploited by the other party. With the approval of the actors' union, he You have to check it yourself to confirm that there is no problem before you actually sign.

22 episodes, this is the number of episodes in the first season without any flexibility in the script. In Hollywood, there are strict requirements for scripts. Movie scripts are those pages. From 110 pages to 130 pages, one page is a 1-minute play, and this is very The number of pages of the script can be adjusted within a small range, and the length of the film that can be shot is also rated. It seems that the mechanization of the assembly line also reveals a kind of maturity of the system.

The salary of 3300 million US dollars suddenly pushed Chen Hao to the forefront. The congratulatory voices of others smacked of jealousy. Only a top Hollywood actor can get a movie from the salary bonus. The figure; a big American TV series with the highest popularity and highest ratings, after five and six seasons, the combined pay of the two main actors.

The meeting for the Super Bowl performance this afternoon continued, and there was an extra link on the way, that is, everyone would sneak a glance at Chen Hao from time to time, and occasionally someone who took a look at his mobile phone would take a few more glances at him.

In one afternoon, this news spread to the whole world, and various voices of discussion began to spread through the media and the Internet.It is still the old style. Chen Hao is used to it, and the media are used to it. Regarding some of his pioneering news events, mixed reviews are standard. Polarization, opposition, and conflicts are commonplace, and one thing can be said The huge difference between the sky and the earth, Chen Hao can be regarded as the only one.

When he returned to the hotel at night, the team was already waiting for him with the contract. Several professional lawyers cross-checked and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with the actor contract. Apart from a few additional clauses, it was the standard actor contract provided by the actor union. Additional clauses Among them, there was one that Chen Hao didn't know, but after reading it, he also felt that it was okay and normal.

"Take MOUSE's working hours as the axis, and when conditions and time allow, try to cooperate with the filming schedule of the crew and related publicity of the series as much as possible."

This is a very flexible clause. If it is put on it, yes is equal to no. Even if Chen Hao does not cooperate with the drama's promotion and filming schedule, he can use the fact that his work schedule conflicts as an explanation. The contract is not bound at all. Why did you add this one?
Chen Hao didn't think that the other party was trying to please him, and he didn't have any qualifications to let the other party please him in such a way.

Suspicion is suspicion, and he wants to refuse but has no reason. If it is outside of Hollywood, he may refuse because of a little fear and suspicion in his heart. Money will never be a reason for him to compromise, but this is Hollywood. In front of the Actors Union, and the other party is such a powerful company, it is not impossible to refuse without any tenable reason, and the cost is too high.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

Between suspicion and possible doubts, the attractiveness of the script and the characters became a bargaining chip that made the balance unbalanced. Chen Hao confirmed that he would sign, and early the next morning, in a very formal way, several weight media appeared on the scene Witnessed by the two parties, the two parties signed a contract, and the "Prison Break" plan was officially launched. Chen Hao signed a contract to cooperate with the publicity, and won the headlines of more than a dozen national entertainment news pages in one fell swoop. Such personal influence also gave the 150 million episodes a sky-high price The remuneration is labeled with a label that is not too unjust, at least no one will think that Fox is stupid.

Whether the new model is successful, whether the new drama is successful, and how much will be lost if the money spent fails?While calculating these, the potential value brought by Chen Hao's personal influence to the show and Fox must also be included in the calculation.

The new song "MY LOVE" continues Chen Hao's previous brilliance, and quickly occupied the top spot after landing on the major charts. Although it is not as brilliant as last year's Grammy, it still steps on the Grammy stage, giving him a personal reputation. A lot, and then there is the Super Bowl performance, and the Oscar competition. "Prison Break" came to participate in it, which means that the 150 million high-priced actors have thrown a part of the attention accumulated during this period on this new Fox drama. Under the new model, there is no market test. The new drama of the year has become the most anticipated new drama of the year. Note that this is not in Asia. In the North American market, it is also the most popular new drama. There is no one. According to Fox's idea, I don't have to wait until September [-] It will be released when American dramas gather on a monthly basis. With the current level of attention, the sooner the better, the better it will be. March and April have become the first choice.

Fox has been using various gimmicks to squeeze Chen Hao's recent attention. It can be said that they have succeeded. They have opened up a new path in the field of TV dramas. There is no need for this in the field of movies. They only need to follow the old path. How about injecting Chen Hao's personal attention and influence into a new film project?Will there be better results?
After two rounds of negotiations with Chen Hao, they reached an agreement that the script of the heroine is also from Fox. They feel that they should start the second round of publicity plans, and the most urgent task now is to find a movie that can make Chen Hao and everyone All feel satisfied heroine.

"Whoever he wants to find, just follow what he said, as long as he makes this movie."

In the dark corner, the voice that once made the final decision on Chen Hao's participation in "Prison Break" appeared again, but this time, he did not receive recognition and support.

"NONONO, the failure of the movie is too expensive. Besides, the same tricks will not work continuously. You know, we value MOUSE very much. He has the potential to become a superstar. Our purpose is not to destroy him, but to destroy him. He tied as much as he could to our ship."
