Chapter 1090 Suggestions
Well, the bet is on the company's profits, not Yang Xiaomi's own salary...
Nowadays, the trend of sky-high film remuneration has emerged.
"That Year the Flowers Were Beautiful and the Moon Was Full" cost Sun Li RMB 850,000 per episode;
The male and female protagonists of "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace" took away 150 million...
This is still a bit powerful. After those traffickers came on the scene, they even offered sky-high prices: Lu Han took over 100 million to shoot "The Legend of the Destiny", and Yang Tianbao also received 80 million for "Cut out Pictures without Appreciation"...
Very exaggerated!
Liao Gaoxiang said that Reba was signed for "Girls with Power". Her salary for the last film was 15 million, and the one who signed her was 25 million;
By the time the movie was about to start in 2016, the market price had risen to 60 million. Before the movie started, someone came to poach her with 80 million...
Of course, she didn't agree!
In August of this year, "Weird Girl" was aired and became an instant hit. Now, even those with 100 million are already talking about it.
This is partly because of her own popularity, and partly because of the bubble in the entire industry.
At the craziest time, a first-line actor quoted a price of 4 million per episode, 60 episodes, 240 million, and many other harsh conditions.
Shen Xudong was frightened - 240 million?
What is this concept?
"Detective Chinatown 3" went to the United States to shoot, and Chen Sicheng spent 220 million...
You dare to ask for 240 million yuan for an actor?
According to Wang Leiqing, director of SMG Film and Television Drama Center: In 2016 alone, the salaries of first- and second-tier actors increased by nearly 250%. In some IP dramas that rely more on traffic, star salaries accounted for a large proportion of the production costs. The ratio even rose to 75%.
The reason for this is that Internet media have spent a lot of money to buy copyrights in recent years. In this copyright war, the price of TV series has completely exceeded the level it should be.
These TV series often sell for hundreds of millions.
Shen Xudong was very curious: "...we PPTV didn't join the copyright war, so why are the prices so high?"
"have no idea…"
"Then your current salary is 50 million?"
"Absolutely!" Yang Xiaomi nodded, and then quickly added; "It's just that TV drama remuneration...movie remuneration hasn't increased much..."
"I said..."
Shen Xudong probably understood...
He makes movies, and the company prefers to make movies. The salary usually does not exceed 5 million...
For purely commercial films, the starring actors will be given investment rights and additional dividends;
Art films are basically free of charge - even Ah Mou's films rarely exceed 50 million...
If you act in an art film, it shows that you love movies and that you have a strong character, so... the pay will be discounted!
As for PPTV's self-produced dramas, he also knows something about it, and rarely gives high salaries - a cap of 30 million.
However, PPTV’s self-produced dramas have already made a name for themselves. Being able to participate in PPTV’s self-produced dramas has become an honor for actors. Many enterprising people will take the initiative to lower their prices to appear...
"Then you will make a lot of money..."
"That's not enough for gambling!"
"How much difference?"
"One small target short of..."
That’s about 100 million…
In the original time and space, a blind cat encountered a dead mouse in Jiaxing - the TV series "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom" became a hit.
This time, there is no such episode...
Shen Xudong nodded, and then asked: "I have always had a question, what is the significance of signing this bet?"
"significance?"
"You see, in the industry, a common gambling agreement is the movie box office type, a gambling agreement between the film company and the actor. If the movie box office exceeds a certain amount, the actor can get additional bonuses, otherwise the actor needs to return part of the salary.
There is also a relationship between the celebrity and the company. How much money the celebrity promises to make to the company in a year, the company will also provide resources to the celebrity.
The reason why celebrities need to sign with a brokerage company is because the brokerage company can help them plan their future and obtain more resources, so that they can maintain their status in the entertainment industry. Is this correct? "
Yang Xiaomi nodded: "Yes!"
"Then why did you agree to the bet? You're not even the majority shareholder!"
Yang Xiaomi was stunned for a while, and then explained stumblingly: "...I want to do Dajiaxing..."
"Do Dajiaxing...then what?"
"Then...I can..."
"What can you do?"
“Go public and get wealth and freedom!”
"Listing? Freedom of wealth...Who told you that listing means freedom of wealth?"
"But at least the status is different, it's capital!"
Shen Xudong was too lazy to refute, so he simply asked: "Even if you become capital, what are you going to do?"
"Have the right to speak!"
Shen Xudong was still confused: "What right to speak do you want?"
"that is…"
"Investment ability? Earning ability or what?"
“…”
"You already have these abilities." After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "Why did Perfect Pictures want to bet with Jiaxing? Are they interested in Zeng Jia's abilities? Then tell me what abilities Zeng Jia has?"
Yang Xiaomi remained silent, and Shen Xudong continued: "If you want to be an actor, form a script analysis team, screen the scripts carefully, act more, and act well... If you want to be a star, it's easy, just participate in more variety shows , sell the character..."
"...You want me to leave Jiaxing?"
"It's no good for you to stay in Jiaxing...Jiaxing can only produce idol dramas. Idol dramas are always youth dramas. You are about to turn 30 and it's time to transform..."
"Then...what should I do?"
"Set up your own studio, make your own decisions, and don't have anything to do with Jiaxing anymore..."
“…What about resources?”
Shen Xudong thought for a while and suggested: "Affiliate yourself to PPTV for two years first... PPTV wants to create a workplace drama, and your age is suitable!"
Yang Xiaomi hesitated: "But what I said at that time was that the core team could not leave..."
"...What happens if the bet is not completed?"
Shen Xudong helped her analyze it - the content of the bet was that Perfect invested 500 million yuan to subscribe for 35% of the equity of Jiaxing Media. The bet agreement was that Jiaxing Media needed to achieve a cumulative after-tax net profit of 410 million yuan from 2015 to 2017. At the same time, core management personnel and core artists cannot leave, etc.
In other words, the performance commitment is lower than the subscription funds!
"At worst, I'll pay you back!"
"Then... wouldn't the bet fail?"
"What if I fail? What impact will it have on you?"
Shen Xudong was speechless and waved his hand: "Stop talking about this...I have to prepare lessons!"
"Preparing lessons? What lessons are you preparing for?"
"I have to do some promotion tomorrow, I have to make some preparations..."
Yang Xiaomi curled her lips, said nothing, took out her mobile phone, and went to the balcony...
…
"Love Saint 2" is "Everything About My Wife"...
The plot is very simple: The husband is tired of his 7-year marriage and wants to divorce, but he doesn't dare, so he hires a love agent to date his wife, hoping that she will initiate a divorce... but regrets it the next second!
The male protagonist is Dachun... No, Allen, Shen Teng was originally considered to play the role of Love Saint... but his image was not suitable, so he simply chose Wang Takizheng!
Wang Long is Shen Xudong's senior brother. He was admitted to the Chinese Opera in 2001. In 2003, he already starred in Meng Jinghui's drama "Rhinoceros in Love". He is a ruthless character.
Later, he signed a contract with PPTV. In the past few years, he has acted in many PPTV dramas, and was even one of the leading actors in "Detective Chinatown 3". He played Song Yi...
Yuppie uncle style!
They are all our own people...
The company has set a box office target of 800 million.
Originally this movie didn't need Shen Xudong to promote it, he came here on his own initiative...
