That's how I became famous

Chapter 575 Breach of contract?

"How long does it take to get to the hospital?" Li Xiao asked after getting into the car.

Chen Yong estimated the distance and said, "According to the traffic flow at this point in time, it is estimated that it will take about an hour."

Li Xiao nodded, then looked at Yu Cai and asked, "Sister Cai, do you know how many people have been admitted to the hospital by Director Feng Shan?"

"It shouldn't be much." Yu Cai shook his head, "I asked Xiaoqing to read it, and there is no relevant report on the Internet. I guess if you were not going to cooperate with director Feng Shan soon, Tang Jijun would not have informed me about it. .”

"What's the problem? Why did you suddenly enter the hospital? From what you said, it seems that the situation is quite serious." Li Xiao was a little worried. It had nothing to do with the future cooperation. He had a good impression of Feng Shan.

Feng Shan is a great director, not to mention being kind to a newcomer, his attitude towards movies is definitely commendable.

Generally, when a movie made by a big director hits the street, they will always take their face into account and find excuses for themselves.And Feng Shan will not, but he will not deny his own film, he just said that he did not express what he wanted to express, and he is sorry for the audience.Moreover, Feng Shan is not the kind of dead-headed person who thinks that what he wants to express is good. He will cater to the public while keeping what belongs to him.

"

"Cerebral hemorrhage, fortunately, the amount of bleeding was not large, so he was rescued, but he is still in a coma." Yu Cai looked at the phone, and suddenly said: "Tang Jijun's assistant just sent a message, and Director Feng woke up."

"I hope it's not a big problem." Li Xiao felt a little more at ease, and the best news was a worry-free life.

However, although Li Xiao is not very clear about the symptoms of cerebral hemorrhage, he has heard of some, and there are sequelae.It is estimated that Director Feng will have to rest well in the days to come. Whether he can continue to be a director is unknown.

hospital.

Nothing else happened, Li Xiao and his party came to the ward floor where Feng Shan was located.

From a distance, a few people could be seen standing outside the door of the ward, among them Tang Jijun.

Li Xiao walked straight over, and Tang Jijun stood with the other three, with a heavy and worried expression on his face.Seeing this, Li Xiao just nodded slightly and didn't say much.

Li Xiao didn't know the other three, and Yu Cai didn't seem to know each other either. Presumably they were Dao Feng's family members.

"Xiaoxiao, I really trouble you to come here." Tang Jijun said.

Li Xiao waved his hand, "It should."

The place where Feng Shan was hospitalized was in the capital, and it wasn't that Li Xiao was busy, as a junior, he had to come and visit him out of reason.

"This is Director Feng's wife, and these two are Director Feng's son and daughter." Tang Jijun introduced to Li Xiao.

Director Feng's wife had red eyes and swollen eye bags. It was obvious that she was crying a lot, but she was very polite and thanked Li Xiao: "Thank you for coming to visit, but Ah Zheng has fallen asleep again. He just woke up and remembered I'm not sober, so it's not convenient to go in."

"Director Feng is my senior, I should come to visit, as long as he is safe." Li Xiao said solemnly.

Director Feng's face was pale, and he was sleeping with his eyes closed. Li Xiao followed Tang Jijun to the observation window and watched for a while, when he suddenly heard footsteps.

He arrived before the sound of people arrived, and after a long distance, Kong Zhuo walked over with a sad face while speeding up his pace: "How is it? Director Feng is all right?"

"It's nothing serious, nothing serious." Feng Shan's wife replied, she seemed to know Kong Zhuo.

"Hey, it's good that people are fine." Kong Zhuo seemed relieved, then looked at Feng Shan's wife and comforted him, "Sister Mei, you have to pay attention to your health, don't take care of your body when Director Feng takes care of it. Your body is exhausted. I think you haven't slept all night, right? Go back to sleep first, and leave it to us here."

Hearing Kong Zhuo's words, Feng Shan's children also began to persuade their mother, they did not sleep a night, young people can survive, but they still can't stay up late when they are old.

Seeing so many people, Feng Shan's wife finally nodded and left first accompanied by her children.

"Yo, Li Xiao is here too, he came quite early." Kong Zhuo greeted Li Xiao with a smile as if he saw Li Xiao only now.

Li Xiao didn't speak, but nodded with a smile.

Kong Zhuo didn't care. He looked at Tang Jijun and said, "Mr. Tang, if Director Feng is like this, I don't think our movie will be able to be made, right? I'm just talking, nothing else."

Li Xiao looked at Kong Zhuo, he just thought he was inexplicable before, but now he has a little disgust towards him.

When talking about movies at this time, Kong Zhuo is not inexplicable, but has a purpose in everything he does, and he is an ego-type personality.

Tang Jijun didn't mind. He smiled and said, "I told you to come here to talk about movies. Although it seems that Director Feng will not be able to continue making movies in the future, our movie is still If you want to shoot, you can't waste Director Feng's hard work."

This is the case with businessmen. Although Tang Jijun and Feng Shan have a close cooperative relationship, and the box office hits the street together, but at this time, Tang Jijun still wants to stabilize the shooting plan of the new movie first.

There is nothing wrong with businessmen chasing profits. Tang Jijun's current approach is only to avoid losses. After all, the film has already begun to invest in costs, and it is not small.If you don't shoot now or postpone it, you will waste a lot of money.

Li Xiao was a little disgusted, and said politely: "Mr. Tang, I will leave first, and I will come back when Director Feng wakes up."

Seeing this, Yu Cai sighed. As soon as Kong Zhuo spoke, she expected that Li Xiao would leave, but she didn't stop her.

After all, Li Xiao is still young, so it's normal that he can't get used to this kind of situation.

It's not that Yu Cai has encountered similar situations when bringing other artists before, but she will tell the artist almost all the possibilities that will happen, and then teach him how to deal with it when the time comes, if she can't get used to it and wants to leave?
impossible.

It is impossible for Yu Cai to give his artistes the chance to leave.

Because they don't have that kind of capital, want to go head-to-head with capital in the entertainment industry?Who gave the face?

But Li Xiao has it, and Li Xiao himself can be said to be a capital, he has the qualifications to show his face.

Seeing Li Xiao winking and turning around neatly, Yu Cai felt a little relieved for some reason, smiled, apologized, and prepared to leave.

"Hey, no." Tang Jijun had a headache, and hurriedly shouted, "Xiaoxiao, where are you going? Don't go yet, I."

"I'm sorry Mr. Tang, I rushed back to class, and I was criticized by the teacher for absenteeism." Li Xiao turned his head slightly and said without stopping.

"Hiss..." Tang Jijun is the boss of a top entertainment company in the industry, so he took a deep breath to suppress his temper.

Fortunately, this person is Li Xiao. If it were another artist, Tang Jijun probably would be irrational.I had to call my acquaintance on the spot to block this bad attitude artist!
"Ah."

Kong Zhuo just smiled, not surprised by Li Xiao's behavior at all.

He had already seen Li Xiao's temper when he was in Paris. It's normal for a young man to get angry.

Kong Zhuo didn't say much in front of Tang Jijun either, he couldn't provoke trouble at this time, Tang Jijun was angry at the moment, although he wasn't afraid of him, but there was no need to destroy the relationship between them.

"Mr. Tang, should we talk about the movie now?" Kong Zhuo asked.

"Next time, I will notify you to discuss it together before the shooting plan starts. Don't take other jobs during this period. I will arrange the director's affairs." Tang Jijun said.

"Okay, I'll go first, call me if you have anything to do." Kong Zhuo waved his hand and left with his people.

Tang Jijun shook his head, not caring at all that Kong Zhuo forgot what he had said to Feng Shan's wife in a blink of an eye.He made a phone call, then walked to the observation window and looked at his sleeping friend, sighed, pushed the door in and sat down on the sofa.

"Sister Cai, did I get impulsive just now?" After getting into the car, Li Xiao was speechless all the time, and Li Xiao was a little worried whether he had made Yu Cai angry.

"Well, I'm a little impulsive." Yu Cai nodded.

"Then aren't you angry?" Li Xiao looked at Yu Cai's expression.

Yu Cai suddenly laughed and said, "Why am I so angry, as long as you don't commit crimes and just be yourself. You have the ability, and Sister Cai also has the confidence to help you up."

Unexpectedly, Li Xiao was still worried about whether he would be angry or not, Yu Cai smiled, feeling a little moved.

"It looks like Tang Jijun wants to find another director to shoot this movie."

Li Xiao guessed what Tang Jijun was thinking. In fact, this was quite normal. After all, Tang Jijun was the boss of a company. This movie was considered a big investment, and it couldn't be delayed because of Feng Shan.

Regardless of Feng Shan's current situation, whether he is capable of continuing to be a director, even if he could, his family would not agree to let him take risks.

It's just that Li Xiao didn't like this reality very much. Feng Shan was still lying on the hospital bed, and Tang Jijun and the others started talking about it outside.

From Li Xiao's point of view, it is appropriate to wait a day or two and talk again at a suitable time and a suitable place.

"Sister Cai, how much is our liquidated damages?"

Li Xiao rubbed his dry eyes and asked suddenly.

"Not high, 1000 million." Yu Cai said a number without even thinking about it.

Yu Cai did not mention all the details of the contract, but she remembered all the important clauses in her mind.

Compared with Li Xiao's salary, the liquidated damages of 1000 million yuan is indeed not high, on the contrary, it is a bit low, so low that it is outrageous.

According to his popularity, acting skills, word-of-mouth and other comprehensive conditions, Li Xiao's current market price for making a movie is as low as 5000 million.

This is not a price that is driven up by oneself, but the reaction given by the market.

Anyway, Yu Cai has never seen an offer of less than 5000 million yuan for work film cooperation.

Therefore, the penalty for breach of contract is only 1000 million, which is really low and cannot be lowered.

If this gets out, people who don't know it may think that the capital side is stupid and sweet.

Speaking of Li Xiao's salary, it's actually not that high.

Some of the top performers with no acting skills had similar offers, and they didn't even have Li Xiao's word-of-mouth and box office appeal.

The market is like this, there must be a limit for remuneration.

There are quite a few yin and yang contracts in the circle, that is, the salary is the highest on the surface, and there will be other income in the dark, but Li Xiao has not encountered it yet.

The reason why the liquidated damages are so low is because Li Xiao does not receive a fixed remuneration for this film, or it can be said that there is no remuneration, and it adopts a box office sharing model.

The 5.00 million 15% share of the total box office, the 15.00 billion 20% share, 20.00 billion [-]%, and the [-] billion [-]% cap.

20% of the box office share of 20.00 billion seems quite high, but this is the net profit after deducting costs, taxes, and theater share.

After deducting taxes from the 20 billion box office and then sharing it with the theaters, there will be more than 6 million left, and after deducting the 20.00 million production cost, there will be 8000 million left. The [-]% dividend is about [-] million, which is not beyond Li Xiao highest market price.

This is still the most ideal state.

In the past few years, how many movies have the box office of more than 20 billion have been released by Huaguo Films?
Feng Shan's first two films were even at a loss. Even if actors with box office appeal such as Li Xiao and Kong Zhuo joined in, there is no guarantee that the film will earn much box office in the end.

Li Xiao also took the risk. There are many examples of movies with big productions and big names gathering at the box office.

It was Feng Shan's idea to adopt the dividend distribution model. He wanted to invest more funds in the film, and only the liquidated damages of 1000 million was regarded as his favor to Li Xiao.

Of course, Feng Shan can't be the master, and even Tang Jijun can't be the master. This is reached after discussions with other investors.

Many people now want to find Li Xiao to make movies and TV series, not because of his good acting skills, but because he can make money.

In terms of share ratio, investors will naturally make some concessions.

"1000"

The cost of breaching the contract is not a big pressure on Li Xiao now, after hearing it, he is a little ready to move.
The reason why he agreed to accept the script at the beginning was only for Feng Shan's sake. If he likes the script, he naturally likes it, but Li Xiao himself has many scripts that he likes more.

Now that the director is about to change, and he has a feeling of disgust towards Kong Zhuo, Li Xiao really doesn't want to take this movie anymore.

Accepting this movie will not only interfere with Li Xiao's school time, but also conflict with the recording time of Mushroom House.

One is happy and the other is unhappy, Li Xiao clearly distinguishes it in his heart.

"Forget it, let's take a look first."

Li Xiao shook his head, he hadn't reached the point of breaking the contract yet, and he didn't want to break the contract casually.

But everything has to wait for Feng Shan to wake up, and Li Xiao can only make a decision after talking with him.

Breaking the contract would not be a big burden on Li Xiao's heart. After all, the reason why he agreed to take this drama at the beginning was because of Feng Shan's face.

And as long as the money is paid for the breach of contract, and the things written in black and white are clear, as long as the price can be borne, there is nothing to blame.

It's just that Li Xiao didn't want to break the contract casually.

……

Li Xiao went back to school until noon, when he received a message from Yu Cai, Tang Jijun hoped to talk about the movie and the contract, and Feng Shan woke up.
