This star is too fierce

Chapter 245 I'm Not Optimistic

Wu Jie doesn't want a salary but a dividend?

It is not a box office dividend, but a profit dividend.

This was undoubtedly beyond Zhang Sheng's expectations.

"Give it a shot!" Wu Jie said, "What if the box office blows up? Maybe I can still make a fortune like Mr. Dong. If it's really for nothing, what kind of work in your company will you think of me in the future?" .”

"Why don't you discuss it with the company?" Zhang Sheng said.

"My contract with the company is about to expire." Wu Jie said, "Where does the company care about me?"

"Really?" Zhang Sheng asked immediately, "When will it expire, and where is it going? Why don't you come to Changsheng Entertainment?"

"This..." Wu Jie was silent for a while, and said, "I have to go back and ask my agent's opinion. He is talking to other companies about this matter during this time."

If it's just a movie, do a friend a favor.

But if you sign a contract with a company, it involves future development.

This Wu Jie had to be cautious.

He has a good personal relationship with Zhang Sheng.

But that's just a personal relationship.

What's more, it's not like he hasn't been cheated by his friends before.

No matter how good a friend is, if it involves interests, it may be difficult to say.

Wu Jie obviously didn't think that his relationship with Zhang Sheng was so close that he put his interests aside.

"Row!"

Zhang Sheng nodded.

He naturally understood Wu Jie's actions very well.

If he said so, and he immediately agreed, then Wu Jie would not be able to make it to the present in the circle.

Maybe it was eaten to the bone.

However, if he wanted to sign Wu Jie into the company, Zhang Sheng really didn't talk about it.

Wu Jie is not as cool as he said now.

Kung fu movies and martial arts movies are on the decline, and action actors seem to have less contracts.

But there is still a market for veteran action dreams like Wu Jie.

He didn't renew his contract with the company, not because the company gave up on him.

But the two sides did not agree.

The company couldn't give Wu Jie what he wanted.

And Zhang Sheng believes that Changsheng Entertainment can afford it.

Woo Jay is also worth giving.

Of course, if the asking price exceeds the bottom line of Changsheng Entertainment, then there is no justice in the transaction.

"It's no problem to share the profit as a dividend." Zhang Sheng said, "As for how much to take, we need to discuss it."

Wu Jie wanted to share profits and dividends, so Zhang Sheng would naturally not refuse.

Zhang Sheng still has some confidence in the movie "Night Shop", but he has no confidence at all in "Source Code".

Don't lose money, and have confidence.

How much you can earn is hard to say.

Wu Jie was naturally willing to take this risk to gain a chance, why would Zhang Sheng refuse?

Someone is willing to share the risk, that is, someone reduces the risk for him.

Even if the movie becomes a big hit, it's something they took the risk to win.

Make money, that's what it should be.

Based on Wu Jie's current salary quotation, if he is the leading role, it can reach tens of millions.

It is estimated that Zhang Sheng will ask for a friendship price for a friend invitation like this.

But if you get a dividend, how high is the box office?

The production cost of the original version of "Source Code" has no reference value.

The budget given by the company is around 5000 million.

This includes Wu Jie and Gu Sisi's remuneration.

Gu Sisi's current salary is much higher than that of Wu Jie.

The salaries of the two basically have to go to half of the budget.

The director Zhang Sheng does not get paid, but directly gets dividends.

With an investment of 5000 million, more than 1 million box office will be able to pay back.

If Wu Jie gets 20.00% of the profit in dividends, then the film's box office profit will have to exceed 5000 million.

The box office is less than [-] million, don't even think about it!

But can such a sci-fi film reach [-] million box office?

Obviously hanging.

Impossible, at least for many.

Wu Jie nodded.

Actors don't need to be paid, so how much dividends they get, naturally need some negotiation.

It's nothing more than asking for a high price and paying back the money on the spot.

This also does not require the two of them to bargain.

However, what Wu Jie wants is profit dividends, not box office dividends.

Profit dividends are the dividends after deducting the original.

They all made money, so it was easy to talk about.

After all, people not only participated in the performance, but also participated in the promotion.

Zhang Sheng didn't know how much dividends the company would give out.

And after learning that Wu Jie didn't take the pay, Gu Sisi also said he wouldn't take it.

The two leading actors are not paid.

Then the cost of the film is directly reduced by half.

Changsheng Entertainment is naturally happy to do so.

The company apparently didn't like the movie either.

And what about Zhang Sheng?

That's a little more complicated.

He was also a little unconvinced.

Why do you all dislike my new movie so much?

Wu Jie doesn't take a paycheck, so it's more or less a direct favor.

This somewhat has the idea of ​​paving the way for the future.

Not to mention Gu Sisi.

There was the idea of ​​starring in friendship before, and I didn't plan to offer a high salary at all.

"Actually, I am quite optimistic about the box office of this movie." Zhang Sheng said.

Not to mention the explosion, it is still very easy to make money.

After all, the domestic market is getting bigger and bigger.

And this movie is released abroad, so you should also look forward to it.

The original box office may not have much reference value, but the box office of some films can also be inferred from the market response.

"I guess you are optimistic about it yourself." Gu Sisi said, "If you were not the largest shareholder of Changsheng Entertainment, you probably wouldn't be able to attract investment. You are investing purely by yourself now. In addition, when will you estimate the box office of the movie? Yes?"

Zhang Sheng curled his lips and remained silent.

He couldn't deny it.

The company is really not optimistic.

Of course, there is no objection to the approval of the film project.

There are risks, but it is estimated that you will not lose much if you lose money.

What's more, there is also the possibility of earning.

Wasting time?
Can't even talk about it.

At least you can use this to exercise the team.

The company is not optimistic, the hero and heroine Wu Jie and Gu Sisi are not optimistic, and the movie fans are probably even less optimistic.

"Then you still don't get paid?" Zhang Sheng laughed.

"I don't believe in your movie, but I believe in you!" Gu Sisi said with a smile, "Since your debut, it seems that you haven't tried to fail."

"So you are going to taste it with me this time?" Zhang Sheng said, "Have you prepared words of comfort and encouragement?"

"Do you still need to prepare for this?" Gu Sisi was stunned for a moment and said.

She really has this idea.

As for how much money was lost?
She didn't care at all.

She is not short of money.

Her family is not short of money.

Zhang Sheng went so smoothly, a stumble might not be a bad thing for him.

Gu Sisi obviously also thought that the continuous success made Zhang Sheng inflated.

How can people without inflation make science fiction films.

And it was such a hasty decision.

Is it okay?

See how to understand.

Zhang Sheng has encountered many obstacles since his debut.

For example, when participating in "Bright Star", I encountered Chen Yuhang's target.

But even though he encountered such obstacles, he never encountered failure along the way, not even setbacks.

Chen Yuhang and others did not cause him any trouble at all.

Isn't this so smooth?
"It's good if you don't prepare, it's a waste of time." Zhang Sheng said, "It will definitely not be useful."

"You are really confident." Gu Sisi said.

"I've always been like this." Zhang Sheng said.

"That's right." Gu Sisi smiled.

She likes Zhang Sheng's self-confidence.

Confident men are full of charm.

And Zhang Sheng seems to be full of confidence in everything.

"Tai囧" is about to launch, and "Source Code" has also begun preparations.

"Legend of Sword and Fairy" is about to start broadcasting, and Zhang Sheng, Gu Sisi and others will inevitably run a promotion to create momentum for this drama.

On this point, Zhang Sheng is still very positive.

In order to perform well in this drama, he has spent a lot of thought.

If this drama is successful, I think his sense of accomplishment will be stronger.

What's more, this is not only his first drama, but also Changsheng Entertainment's first drama.

Significant.

She and Gu Sisi basically watched the variety show on Nanhu Satellite TV over and over again.

"Is this drama a love affair between the two of you?"

Participating in a talk show, the host asked about Zhang Sheng and Zhang Sheng.

"How do you count?" Zhang Sheng said, "The show is finished, and we are not together yet."

Is Nanhu Satellite TV trying to speculate on "a show of love"?

Zhang Sheng naturally wouldn't cooperate.

Along the way, Zhang Sheng and Gu Sisi became dissatisfied with Nanhu Satellite TV.

Because no matter which program they participate in, they will always use their romance to hype the show.

Endless.

Neither of them seemed very willing now.

After all, this show has nothing to do with their relationship.

"Then filming this drama should help you get together?" The host continued to ask.

Zhang Yu didn't answer.

help?

he does not know.

"There are still some!" Gu Sisi said, "The filming period of this drama is not short, and the more contact time, the more you know him naturally."

"He is one of the investors of this drama." Gu Sisi said, "But he is very dedicated in the crew."

"Bosses are always more concerned about profit and loss than employees." Zhang Sheng said, "Is there a possibility that my dedication is not because of my high professional ethics, but because I am afraid of losing money if the filming fails."

"It seems to make sense." Gu Sisi nodded and said, "I had a little affection for you at that time, but now it seems that I was deceived."

"How can this be considered being cheated?" Zhang Sheng said, "I didn't lie to you, it was the result of your own imagination. But then again, even if I am not an investor, I will be very dedicated. "

"Dedication, I don't think it is a commendable character." Zhang Sheng said, "Professional ethics is the basic quality that every practitioner should possess. Whether it is an actor or a host."

The host froze for a moment, feeling offended.

He seems to be alluding to himself.

Yes, that is.

As for why?

How could the host fail to guess?

Before taking the stage, there were no questions he had asked in the script.

Zhang Sheng even said: Don't hype up their relationship.

The host smiled awkwardly, looked at Gu Sisi, and said, "During the filming, you had a little affection for him, and it shouldn't be just because of his dedication, right?"

"Maybe it was a bit unexpected, so I was impressed." Gu Sisi said, "Of course, what impressed me the most was his grasp of the role."

"I worked with him in "Night.Club" before, and his acting skills are just like that." Gu Sisi continued, "But when I was filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy", I suddenly felt pressure, and I was a little suppressed by him. a feeling of."

"I was puzzled and couldn't figure it out." Gu Sisi said, "However, I later heard from Director Li that he wrote a biography of 10,000+ characters."
