Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 104 I Have a Friend

After walking out of the cinema, Yuan Hua put on the mask and hat, and Jing Tian next to him rolled his eyes.

"Are you still afraid of the paparazzi taking pictures?"

"I'm mainly worried about you. If the scandal between us is bad for your career, you say that if something really happens, it's fine, but it's okay. Isn't this a disaster for no reason?"

He was afraid that Jing Tian's boyfriend would find someone to kill him after seeing him, so it was better to be on the safe side.

It has to be said that Jing Tian was warmed up, "Don't worry, no reporter will report."

Of course Yuan Hua knew that there would be no reporters reporting, which media would be so courageous to expose Jing Tian?
But is the point the media?
The point is her boyfriend.

"Well, why don't you think about the script again? The male lead's script is also good, you try to find the director, maybe you can act in it."

Yuan Hua was moved and frightened at the same time, worried that Jing Tian would not give up, so he simply had a showdown.

"You invested in this movie, right? I accepted it with good intentions, but I have a reason why I can't go. I'm sorry. I have time to treat you to dinner another day to make amends."

"As a friend, I would like to advise you that it is best not to act in this drama, and to stop the loss in time to pay less. Of course, with your conditions, you may not pay attention to this little money, but there is no need to waste time. .”

"I'm a junior this year!" Jing Tian said, "Most of the students in the class have come out to film, and I have asked the teacher for half a year's leave. If I don't make this film, where will I go to temporarily find a crew? I can't sit at home for half a year, right?" .”

"No, then when you accepted the play, didn't someone help you read the script, did you accept it in a daze?"

Jing Tian was helpless: "If a film is not released, who knows whether it is good or bad, I want to know the future and become an international actress soon."

Frowning and thinking for a few seconds, Yuan Hua said, "It's better to invest in me than to invest in such a bad drama."

Jing Tian was surprised: "Do you have a script?"

"There's no script yet, it's just a general direction, but don't worry, as long as you invest money, I will definitely arrange a good role for you."

Flicking his fingers, Jing Tian said: "Let's wait a few months for your script to come out, go through the review, form a team, inspect the shooting location, and find actors. It will take a year of the monkey to join the team. Forget it, I'll shoot the beautiful boss first." , next time, come to me next time if you have a good project.”

"Beauty, you missed the chance to get rich overnight."

"Haha, if you miss it, you will miss it. I'm not short of this money."

I don't know when Yuan Hua's project will come out. I'm afraid it was just a whim or a 3-minute enthusiasm, but Jing Tian didn't take it seriously.

In the evening, in order to thank Yuan Hua for his support, Huang Bo specially invited him to dinner.

The next day, Yuan Hua went back to Shanghai, and after staying up all night, a [-]-word short story was released. After two extra days of work, the [-]-word became [-]-word story.

"Siwei, how is your situation?"

Stretching, putting down his pen, Yuan Hua went to the balcony with a cup of coffee to call Yang Siwei.

He won Best Supporting Actor at the Hundred Flowers Awards for Popular Films and Best Supporting Actor at the College Student Film Festival. His net worth and reputation have increased, but his film appointments have decreased.

Before he won the award, there were a lot of supporting roles for him, there were a lot of male third and fourth male roles.

After winning the award, the coffee position is different. Some producers know that ordinary characters can't impress him, so they don't take the initiative to send the script to make a fool of themselves.

Yang Siwei runs outside every day, trying to get him a good role, but how can there be so many idle leading men to play for him.

This made Yuan Hua very depressed, the more popular he was, the less filming he had, and he was also drunk.

If it weren't for the many endorsements and announcements, he would have thought that he won the Best Supporting Actor not the Hundred Flowers Award, but the Golden Broom Award for Best Supporting Actor.

"The effect is not ideal. After running more than a dozen production crews, they are not willing to give up the male lead, even if we lower the salary."

On the phone, Yang Siwei's voice was tired: "Hearing that we have lowered the salary, several companies are willing to give the male lead, but I don't want it. If this opening is opened, then you won't get the best supporting actor for nothing."

"Thank you, you did the right thing. Is there any news from Sister Hua?"

"No, they are also waiting, but I advise you to be mentally prepared. The male one is not so easy to wait. If it is soon, it may be there tomorrow, if it is slow, it may be a year or so, especially after you change the contract."

Yuan Hua's contract has been changed, reducing the film and television resources and increasing the share, so the company is not happy about making less money.

She felt that Sister Hua hadn't moved for so long, maybe she wanted to let Yuan Hua off the hook and teach him a lesson.

As for the impossibility of giving up completely, Yuan Hua has a good development prospect and has the potential to hit the front line. If Sister Hua dares to throw him away, another company will come to snatch him the next day.

It's justified to let him hang out for a year or so before giving him a protagonist. Add sweet dates to the big stick. Although the routine is old, it is very practical.

Yuan Hua leaned against the railing of the balcony, the warm wind made his hair messy. After taking a sip of coffee, he said, "Okay, I've figured it out. Except for the endorsement, all other commercial activities have been pushed for me."

"You're crazy!" Yang Siwei was surprised: "Forcing the company is not the way to force it."

Money trees are rare and true, but if they can’t make money, they are no different from ordinary trees. Yuan Hua rejected commercial activities, and his income was cut in half in an instant.

After the contract was changed, the company made less money from him, but now it is even less.

Based on Yang Siwei's understanding of Wang Jinhua, she is not the type to follow suit, doing so will only be counterproductive, not to mention giving Yuan Huanan one, it would be good not to wear small shoes.

"What are you thinking? I'm not forcing the company. My friend made a movie and asked me to play the male lead. I want to settle down and study the role to polish the script. I may have two or three months of role experience, so I let you reject the business. Activity."

"Great." Yang Siwei was excited.

"I believe in your vision of choosing the script. Don't worry, I will help you reject the commercial activities. I will explain to Sister Hua. You can film with peace of mind."

Another male lead, or movie male lead.

Yang Siwei, who has been away for so many days, knows how difficult it is to play a male lead. Except for first-tier artists, second-tier artists may not be able to act in one role in a year, and one role in two or three years is normal.

Just as Yuan Hua won the Best Supporting Actor award, he turned around and acted as the leading actor. His luck was overwhelming.

"By the way, how much is the salary? How is the contract written?"

Yang Siwei asked a key question. Yuan Hua's social status has risen, so the salary can't be low. For a movie, it's between 120 million and 150 million, and for a TV series, it's doubled.

"How should I put it?" Yuan Hua thought for a while and said, "This drama is a low-budget comedy, the investment is not high, and it's helping a friend, so the pay is destined to be low."

"So how much is it?"

"You don't want to pay a penny, my friend said to give me a box office bonus."

Yang Si was puzzled, always feeling something was wrong, but couldn't tell the details.

"It's okay if you can get it. You have to pay the company for the box office share. You have to be clear about this."

From the moment he joined the company, Yuan Hua was tied to the company. The reason why the company made him famous was to hope that he would make money. The 120 million salary was not only his salary, but also the benefit of the company.

He can help his friends, but he can't give away the company's benefits, so the box office share has to be shared with the company.

Yuan Hua said in a deep voice: "If you want to get paid, how much do you think is appropriate, or to put it another way, how much will the company let me act in, and you tell me the truth."

"I can make the decision for you to act for 100 million yuan. If it is less than 100 million yuan, you need the signature of the company leader. I personally suggest that you get a share of the box office. If the movie becomes popular, everyone will make money. If you lose money, you will have to explain to the company and your friends."

"Understood, I will discuss it with my friends."

The sound of drinking water came from the phone, and Yuan Hua's voice came ten seconds later: "My friend said yes, just 100 million."

The corner of Yang Siwei's mouth twitched: "It's so fast, your friend might not be you."
