Rational derailment

Miller's agent was a French man in his forties named Zema.Rather than saying that they are a relationship between a manager and a director, it is better to say that they are good friends. Miller does not belong to any big brokerage company, but a small company that has a lot of shares in him. The boss, and this broker friend is a quarter of the boss, and there are only a few shareholders in the entire company. In terms of the nature of profit, Miller's box office earns a lot.

"The behavior this time is really not your usual style." Zema took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Wu Si. The latter waved his hand. He took out one, hung it in his mouth, and lit it.Miller would not take the initiative to smoke. This man who pays attention to self-cultivation, if it is not for entertainment, I am afraid that he would not even drink a drop of wine. Fruit juice is his favorite.

"I just want to draw a successful conclusion to this series." Since the current results cannot meet this requirement, instead of expecting any miracles in the next film, it is better to start with the one in hand and do it for the miracle. The next bedding.

"Then what's the matter with this special assistant? It's not like your style at all." Zema said this, not because he saw any tricks between them, but because Miller was very careful in his work. It is not easy to tell an assistant about business secrets. According to his understanding, the assistant should be a helper, and this special assistant is obviously an outsider who participated in their confidential meeting.

Indeed, outsiders who are not in the same boat, even if Miller's movie fails, he will have nothing to lose.

This is not Miller's style, and Wu Si's presence is necessarily abrupt.There was nothing wrong with Zema's idea, but Miller didn't want to explain too much, and Wu Si pretended not to hear this sentence, and the discussion began immediately.

Of course, after this two-hour meeting, Zema never asked why Miller would inexplicably pull out such a special assistant.

"There are several problems now. One is the theaters. I have already contacted all the theaters at the beginning of the launch. It will be launched at the end of the year. Obviously this needs to be postponed. The second is the book. Are you ready? Do you want to change it yourself or find someone else to change it? Time is running out, at most two months, otherwise it will not be able to burn. Then there is the most troublesome issue of the schedule of investors and celebrities. If you come here like this, I guess some people will withdraw their capital , even the male lead may stop acting. As far as I know, he has a very good new movie waiting for him after finishing this movie at the end of the year, and if he says he won’t act now, it won’t be considered a breach of contract. After all, you breached the contract after First."

"The theater chain needs to trouble you to get it done. I will find a solution for the script. Give me two months. I will also go to the investors to say hello, but because I have to concentrate on revising the script, it is difficult to entertain them with all my strength. In addition to divestment If you are interested, other compensation will be handed over to you. As for the actors, how much will the compensation be?"

"I checked some legal information. According to their current salary, the liquidated damages are a bit exaggerated."

"This is not considered liquidated damages," Wu Si interrupted their conversation, and took out two sorted and bound materials to Miller and Zema, "From a legal point of view, there are still loopholes that can be exploited here. I have read the contract signed at that time, and there was room for time in terms of time, so what we are doing now is just adjustments, not not shooting, and compensation will be paid for the extended time, but we have not reached the step of breach of contract. "

Wu Si gave them a detailed record of each actor's different handling methods, even the words were different, and also marked a range of numbers, indicating that the compensation is acceptable within this range, and beyond this range , the value of him as an actor is purely in terms of money. It is better to find another actor with the same salary and make up the previous shots.

There are not only loopholes in the law that can be exploited in this document, but also control in cost control, and the eloquent list on it is from male to female to almost every supporting role.

Zema was so startled that he didn't speak for a long time, just staring at the document.In fact, Miller was somewhat surprised. He knew that Wu Si's work ability was very strong, but as Ran Xuanyang's assistant, his ability to wipe his ass was very strong. He didn't expect that as an agent, his ability should not be underestimated.

Zema's blow to the head was hit hard enough.

What's more, this is France, not China!The laws are different, the rules of the entertainment industry are different, and he doesn't know much about the temperament of each actor, so it is really not easy to compile this information.

Glancing at Wu Si, his eyes were obviously blue. From knowing that Miller was going to do this to today's meeting, but in just three days, he probably didn't sleep well.

None of them are hypocritical masters. In the following time, they did not praise Wu Si's ability too much. The three of them went through this information from beginning to end, and they can almost reach a consensus. This is their confidence. Brokerage companies can use this as a measure when negotiating.

The biggest problem now is the male one.As Zema said, it is impossible for the male lead to give up the new scene at the end of the year. Naturally, he cannot afford to wait for the delay of at least two months. In addition, because he is the male lead, there are already many scenes and he cannot shoot in advance. over.And according to Wu Si's purely rational statistics, the highest amount of compensation will definitely not be rare for the other party.

In terms of money, changing the male lead and reshooting all the previous shots will be more cost-effective than keeping the male lead to finish the show, but he is the male lead after all, and he had a lot of scenes before, so if he reshoots all of them , it will be extended again in terms of time, and it will also have some psychological impact on other actors. I always feel that it is not a good idea.

"Actually, I'm quite satisfied with the first half of the male lead's performance." After all, it's the male lead in Miller's eyes. If it wasn't that he couldn't afford to wait, Miller didn't want to replace him. "To delete it completely, It's a pity indeed."

"Fish and bear's paw, you have to choose one." Zema took out the materials of the new movie that the male was planning to shoot at the end of the year. Of course, these were not obtained by any bright means. "Well, no matter how much money you pay, he won't give up."

Sure enough, it was a big production, and no actor would give up, let alone he was the lead actor in the show.

"It's not impossible to have both." Miller closed Wu Si's profile and looked at the other two people, "I will change the script, change the male number one to the male second, and try to keep his role in the first half. The show, and let him die and leave the stage at halftime, the second male becomes the first male, and continue to finish the story."

This statement surprised both Zema and Wu Si. Indeed, in this way, he can have both cakes and bear's paws, thanks to him being able to figure it out.

"But, Miller, in this way, the first man won't dance with you? The well-behaved first man has become the second man who quit at halftime. Isn't this a breach of contract?"

"No, we don't know that he will appear in another play at the end of the year. First, we will show our sincerity by giving him a huge amount of compensation, and hope that he can finish this play. Of course, it is impossible for him to agree. In this way, the first reaction in his heart is to be ashamed of this drama, and the solution he will give later is an adaptation that has to be done for him. I hope he can understand. From a common sense , he won't make it too difficult for us." Wu Si pushed down his glasses, and when he said this, words on how to negotiate with the other party seemed to have appeared in his mind.

Raising his eyebrows, Miller curled the corner of his lower lip without leaving any trace.

On the other side, Zema even rolled up the documents, patted the table, and shouted excitedly, "Gao, it's really tall! Stoudemire, you are so handsome!"

"Of course, this is just an ideal state. There will always be unexpected situations." Wu Si didn't care about the nicknames blurted out by the other party at all, and still replied modestly.

Unexpectedly, in the next second, Zema put the two brothers on Wu Si's shoulders and laughed and said a lot of compliments.

Looking at Zema's excited face, he completely agrees with Wu Si. Miller should be happy, but for some reason, that sentence of Xiao Si made him a little awkward, and the corners of his lips that were curved before unconsciously He lowered it, narrowed his eyes, picked up the calendar at the side, and threw it in front of the two of them.

Zema, who was still in a state of excitement, was taken aback, and Wu Si also gave him a faint look.

"There is no time to waste, let's check the time next."
