Entertainment Empire System

The next step is to sign a contract. Professional Sister Fang Fang is very familiar with this kind of thing. In addition to a half discount on the salary, the contract also stipulates that if the TV series Yu Guanyin becomes a hit, the producer will pay Sun Li An additional one percent gain.

This is actually an additional benefit that film and television companies generally get. After all, it costs money to train a new person as a film and television company. Therefore, if there is a gain, then at this time, I want to tell everyone that Son, if you put in the effort, you will get something. Newcomers, even top-notch artists, will inevitably be squeezed by the company.

This seems to be an unspoken rule, but if you are talking about the kind of artists who are at the level of kings and queens, then no company would do such deception.

Take Ye Ming, for example. Even if he doesn't have his own company, when he signs a contract, it will definitely be the most advantageous contract. No company dares to take advantage of a superstar like Ye Ming.

Because this kind of superstar has the ability to act independently. For example, if a special person can support a drama, this is the value of the emperor superstar.

But no matter how it is said, Sun Li has indeed not reached this stage, and she is considered to be one of the better ones in the first line.

However, Huihuang Film and Television generally does not covet the income of its own artists. If we talk about the benefits gained from signing contracts with other crews, they generally belong to the actors themselves.

The artists of Huihuang Film and Television are all devoted to the company. This is not to say that there is no reason for this. Haiyan didn't say anything about this condition. It was difficult for anyone to know whether the TV series would be a hit. If it was a hit, there would be no point in giving Sun Li some benefits. After all, she had lowered her salary to join the crew.

Of course, Sister Fang Fang also discussed this with Haiyan at this time. When announcing it to the outside world, Sun Li's price was naturally promoted according to the market price. Otherwise, it would be more troublesome for Sun Li to take on the role in the future.

This is actually an unspoken rule in the entertainment industry. Many actors are like this. For example, if a movie costs one thousand yuan for Uncle Ge, then if Feng Xiaogang invites Uncle Ge, he might be able to do it for five hundred or even three hundred yuan. Yes, this is a matter of relationship, the price of acquaintance is like this.

But if we talk about publicity, then at times like this, we usually follow the market price. Uncle Ge also advertised for 1,000 yuan. This is just an appropriate exaggeration of his own actor's worth. There is nothing to say.

However, Sister Fang Fang didn't understand this matter. When she got back to the car, she couldn't help but ask: "Boss, I think you don't like this TV series, but why do you support Sun Li to participate in this TV series?" ah."

It was obvious that Ye Ming was not very optimistic about Haiyan. Otherwise, he would not have taken the initiative to raise any issues that would change the script. But I didn't expect that Haiyan was indeed not stubborn. He would not give in at all to a problem like this.

Ye Ming said nonchalantly: "Well, that's pretty much it anyway. Haiyan does have his own insistence on this issue, but for his drama, even after I read the introduction, I also know that I have definitely crossed the red line. ****You may not understand very well. There are some things that you cannot touch no matter what.

For example, if you touch upon the history of the filmmaking period, direct bans on screenings are minor. If you participate in overseas film festivals without censorship, you will also be banned. Domestic sixth-generation directors, Wang Xiaoshuai and others will be banned. Look at how many of them have not been banned from screening.

Some things just don’t work anyway. The police are a special example of this, let alone the anti-narcotics police. Haiyan is very courageous in this regard. But he himself is persistent and courageous. This is not wrong. However, no matter what the situation is, he will be hit to the head with blood due to such a problem. I have seen many examples of this from the Radio, Film and Television Bureau. "

This kind of thing, especially in movies, is like this in many domestic sixth-generation directors’ movies, such as Lou Ye’s [Suzhou River], Jia Zhangke [Xiao Wu] and Wang Xiaosu’s [ Seventeen-Year-Old Bicycle] and other movies were banned from being released, and the director himself was dealt with in a mess. The same goes for the police anyway, and Haiyan will have to suffer sooner or later. "

This problem is actually true. After the filming of Jade Guanyin is completed, it is sent for inspection, but the result is always failed, and they do not give any suggestions for revision, which means that it does not pass, so you can modify it yourself.

Just like this, in reality, Jade Guanyin was shot around 2,000 years ago and was reviewed for two to almost three years. Finally, it passed the review after a lot of editing.

This is a demerit for Haiyan's compromise, otherwise it would be directly banned from being released.

Therefore, Ye Ming was actually reminding Hai Yan not to take some things too seriously. But in fact, in such a matter, some issues are not that simple, and Haiyan is still so persistent. Sun Li was a little worried when she heard this and said: "Boss, will this TV series be banned from being released?"

The script was really good, and Sun Li even thought that this role was a big challenge for herself, so she wanted to play such a role.

But what is actually going on? Is this TV series going to be difficult to pass the censorship as the boss said? Sun Li is still a little undecided about this. It was even said that Sun Li regretted receiving this TV series at this time.

But Ye Ming said very relaxedly: "This matter is not your concern. As an actor, if you can perform your role well, it is already a pretty good thing. Whether it can be released on TV , that is a problem for the director, or even the producer.

This TV series is indeed a good TV series. You don't have to worry too much about such a problem. Of course, if Hai Yan still shoots according to his own ideas, it will be difficult to review in the end, unless it is re-edited. But this will only be broadcast a little later.

A person like Hai Yan who does things and goes against God needs to attract investment from others to film TV series. Such a person will leave a way out for himself.

Don't worry about yourself. "Ye Ming is actually very clear in his heart. Regarding such an issue, it is indeed normal for Sun Li to choose this TV series, and this role is indeed very attractive. That's why Ye Ming agreed to Sun Li lowering her salary. for this role.

When Ye Ming said that, Sun Li suddenly had strong confidence in herself. Ye Ming's proposal actually proved to be correct. If the boss nodded on the next question, then like this My son's matter shouldn't be a big deal.

At this time, Sun Li was relieved. The car arrived at a private club, outside a courtyard house. It was obvious that the access control was tight. This was a private place. Ye Ming got out of the car. He originally wanted Sun Li to go back by herself, but he was worried about it and asked Fang Fang to go back. Sister Fang sent Sun Li back first.

Sister Fang Fang glanced at the courtyard and said, "Can you handle this by yourself? Without me by your side.

I'm not sure you can handle it. "Ye Ming said with a smile: "Looking at what you said, it seems that I am a three-year-old child. These are all acquaintances. I think there is no big problem."

This time, Ye Ming came to audition for the movie Zhang Yimou's Hero. Therefore, there is nothing wrong in saying that these people are all acquaintances.

But Sister Fang Fang frowned and said: "This matter is precisely because we are all acquaintances, so I am worried that you will give in. You are a superstar now, and a superstar must have the status of a superstar. If it involves Don't be lenient when it comes to remuneration. Remember, not only are you the boss of the company, but you are also a member of the Screen Actors Guild of America. Members of your level will have a certain remuneration in the United States. If It means that if the salary you quoted is significantly different from the actual salary, then you might be in trouble."

This matter does involve the Screen Actors Guild of America. No matter how it is said, Ye Ming is now a member of the Screen Actors Guild of America. Therefore, when it comes to a matter like this, Ye Ming must follow some of the union's regulations.

For example, according to regulations, Ye Ming's current salary should be between two million and five million. This is considered the price of a good supporting role in Hollywood.

As for the price Ye Ming wants for the leading role, I'm sorry. You have to shoot a Hollywood movie starring yourself, and then based on the movie's box office, the price of your next Hollywood movie starring you will be determined. of.

Of course, the money must be paid in US dollars.

This is a rule of the Actors Guild. If the remuneration received by a member is not consistent with his own identity, then it will cause trouble. For example, the union will investigate whether there is any misconduct. Legitimate competitive relationship or something.

Of course, there is an exception, such as charity performances and the like. This kind of performance is public welfare in nature. The actors are not paid a penny for participating, and sometimes they have to pay their own transportation fees and so on.

This is a matter of gaining fame and prestige, so it is an exception. Be careful with other commercial performances and the like.

Therefore, Sister Fang Fang had to remind Ye Ming to be careful about such issues. The guards in the courtyard are indeed relatively tight, and no one can get in normally, but even if Ye Ming just brushes his face, it is very easy to get in.

When the staff saw Luo Tian, ​​they pushed the security guard aside and greeted him warmly: "Brother Ye, are you here? Director Zhang and the others are waiting for you?" Obviously, there was something else in his words. , Director Zhang is not alone, there are others.

Ye Ming was stunned for a moment and said: "There is still someone here, who is over there, Liang Chaowei or Zhang Manyu?"

In fact, these two actors are also a key point in Heroes. The actor is the best actor and the best actor is the best actor. However, this time, Ye Ming really guessed wrong.

The staff member immediately said: "It's not the two of them. They are on today's plane. It is estimated that they will be able to arrive in the capital in the evening. Maybe they will meet Director Zhang tomorrow. The person here today is Wada Emi, and she is talking to Director Zhang We’re discussing some art issues for the movie.”

Emi Wada is also a very famous design master. She can be said to be a benchmark figure in the founding school of Japanese art directors. This is a point of pride for Japanese filmmakers. Emi Wada won the Academy Award for Best Costume Design in 1985 for the Japanese film Akira Kurosawa's film "Ran". Let Emi Wada become famous all over the world.

Zhang Yimou was able to directly invite such a master over. It can be seen that Zhang Yimou still attaches great importance to such a matter. To make a blockbuster film, that means you have to have the magnanimity to make a blockbuster film. If it means that you are too petty, then it won't be a big deal on such an issue.

Ye Ming nodded and said: "Wada Emi, no wonder, it seems that Xinhua noodles have invested a lot of money."

Being able to invite a heavyweight master like Wada Emi to come here shows that Zhang really put his heart into this movie. Entering the living room, Zhang Yimou was talking with a middle-aged woman who looked relatively ordinary.

Hearing the noise, Zhang Yimou frowned. When he was talking to the guests, someone dared to disturb him. This was what he hated most. But seeing Emi Wada actually stand up, Lao Zhang was surprised. He turned around and realized why Emi Wada stood up.

Ye Ming is here, this guy Ye Ming is in the spotlight, and he is also the winner of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Therefore, he can be regarded as a filmmaker on the same level as Wada Emi, so Wada Emi will stand up here. This is a matter of attitude.

If other actors from China are coming, then Wada Emi will definitely not stand up. This is a matter of identity. Ye Ming is here and Wada Emi stands up. That is a sign of respect for the Oscars. Everyone is a winner. Naturally There is a feeling of sympathy between heroes.

Zhang Yimou's face suddenly brightened: "Ye Ming, we have been waiting for you for a long time. Just now I was talking to Teacher Huimei about when you would come." There is no need to grab a position like fashion design. , it belongs to Emi Wada. This is a professional issue.

Therefore, this position was decided early. Wada Emi also needs to know what kind of people are generally participating in the movie before she can complete her own costume design. This also varies from person to person. (To be continued)
