Huayu started from the fairy sword

Chapter 189 Rhubarb is in charge in person, Cao Jun is confirmed to star in "Assembly Number"!
In short, it is reasonable for the public to say that the public is right, and it is reasonable for the mother-in-law to say that the mother-in-law is right.

Of course, the conflict between Feng Xiaogang, Zong Shuai, and Cao Jun was not put on the table, let alone torn face directly.

After all, both sides are famous figures, as long as there is no deep hatred between each other, it is within the acceptable range.

However, in Zong Shuai's view, Feng Xiaogang is really a bully. Because he is Huayi's biggest hero, he directly ignores Cao Jun's commercial value, and wants Cao Jun to take a low salary and help him make films for three or five years. months.

As the leader of Huayi's third studio and Cao Jun's manager, Zong Shuai would not agree to anything.

There are also reasons why Zong Shuai dared to do this, because now Huayi is responsible for the profits and losses of the major studios, and he needs to be directly responsible for the profits and losses of the studios.

As for the third studio in charge of Zong Shuai, Cao Jun is a well-deserved leader. The total income of the entire third studio mainly depends on Cao Jun's output.

If Cao Jun spent three to five months making the movie "Assembly" but only earned less than 100 million yuan, it would be a considerable blow to the annual income of the entire studio.

Even if the other party is Huayi's head director, the person Huang Zhongjun and Huang Zhonglei want to coax, Zong Shuai firmly refuses to agree.

Zong Shuai asked Cao Jun: "Little Cao, are you afraid of offending Director Feng?"

Cao Jun said disapprovingly: "Don't be afraid, there is nothing to be afraid of. We didn't do anything wrong. He bullied others first."

"It's just playing the second male lead. Let alone 100 million, even 300 million invites me to act. I have to think about it."

Seeing Cao Jun and himself standing in the united front, Zong Shuai nodded in relief, and praised with a smile: "Xiao Cao, you have backbone, you're right if you think so, we can't spoil him."

"However, based on what I know about Director Feng, he won't give up so easily, and he will definitely make some moves."

Cao Jun asked suspiciously: "What? Does he still want to block me?"

Zong Shuai denied it with a smile: "That's not true. After all, it's the same company. I don't see you up. I personally guess that he should find Huang Dong or Mr. Huang and ask them to do your ideological work." .”

"Remember, if either of them comes to you to talk about the "Assembly Number", you can't agree to him, and you must not soften your heart."

"Unless they are willing to increase your salary from 100 million to more than 300 million, otherwise there is no need to talk about it!"

"The movie "Assembly Number", no matter how good it is, it will benefit from its director Feng Xiaogang, or the leading actor Zhang Hanyu. As the film's second male lead, the benefits you can get are extremely limited."

Cao Jun nodded: "Handsome guy who knows, I won't let myself suffer, as long as the money is not in place, I will never let go."

Sure enough, on the third day after chatting with Zong Shuai, Huang Zhongjun invited Cao Jun to visit him at his house.

It is worth mentioning that every time he went to Huang Zhongjun's house, Cao Jun would feel in his heart, why does his house look like a museum?
In fact, Huang Zhongjun studied painting since he was a child, and he likes academic contemporary painters very much. He has collected almost all works of well-known contemporary painters.

As early as 2005, Huang Zhongjun bought Chen Yifei's painting "Juanjuan" at a high price of more than 400 million yuan.

In addition, Huang Zhongjun also collects sculptures by sculptors such as Xiang Jing, Qu Guangci, Li Xiangqun, Tian Shixin, etc. This is why Cao Jun feels that his home is like a museum, because there are too many collections.

Cao Jun thought in his heart that when he was rich enough, he must collect some paintings by famous masters like Huang Zhongjun did to cultivate his artistic sentiment.

In other words, Huang Zhongjun, who was born in the military compound in the capital and worked as a scout for five years, has the boldness of a soldier and the frankness of a Beijinger in his character. He speaks directly and rarely beats around the bush.

Therefore, after drinking two cups of tea with Cao Jun, Huang Zhongjun, who was smoking a cigar, said straight to the point: "Xiao Cao, our country in Hua is a society of personal affection. Sometimes, we should not care too much about interests and ignore human relations."

Now that Huang Zhongjun had already talked about this point, Cao Jun didn't hide it, and asked instead: "Director Huang, do you want to talk about the "Assembly Number"?"

Huang Zhongjun smiled and nodded: "Yes, you are a smart person, you should know how to weigh the pros and cons."

"Assembly" is a big production produced by Huayi, and it is our company's big project next year."

"As the most successful and outstanding artist in our Huayi No. [-] Studio, you should take the lead and set an example, and don't care too much about benefits."

"Fame and fortune. Fame is beneficial. As long as the movie "Assembly" is done well, you will not only have the opportunity to earn more money, you may even win awards."

In fact, the reason why Huang Zhongjun was willing to speak for Feng Xiaogang was mainly because Feng Xiaogang proposed to make the movie "Assembly", and Huang Zhongjun actually made the decision.

Because Feng Xiaogang was born in the army, he always wanted to make a war film.

So, after reading the novel "The Lawsuit" once, I decided to adapt this novel into a movie.

Just do what you say, and soon, Feng Xiaogang had someone write the script and brought in 8000 million investment.

But when everyone held a meeting to discuss the film budget, it was estimated that they might have to pay 2000 million yuan, so Feng Xiaogang felt embarrassed to make another film. After all, everyone couldn't be dragged into trouble.

Feng Xiaogang said: "It is very likely that I will lose money for filming this film. I can't let the company pay for my dream."

Unexpectedly, at this time, Huang Zhongjun stood up and gave Feng Xiaogang a reassurance: "You just shoot, I will pay the compensation!"

With these words, Feng Xiaogang decided to let go of his arms and do it.

In order to save the film salary and reduce the company's burden, Feng Xiaogang recruited a bunch of acquaintances, Zhang Hanyu, Wang Baoqiang, Hu Jun and others.

Most of them have been supported by Feng Xiaogang, or they are modest artists of Huayi Company, so they all expressed their willingness to act with zero pay.

But Feng Xiaogang still gave the lead actor Zhang Hanyu 20 yuan, plus the extras, the total did not exceed 100 million yuan, which can be said to be extremely frugal.

In other words, Feng Xiaogang is willing to pay Cao Jun 100 million yuan, which is considered the highest paid actor in the entire crew.

Feng Xiaogang felt that he was willing to pay Cao Jun a salary of 100 million, which was enough to look down on him. Like Wang Baoqiang, he not only volunteered, but didn't even ask for a penny of salary.

However, Cao Jun is not Wang Baoqiang, and he and Zong Shuai don't need Feng Xiaogang to look down on them, they pay more attention to status and interests.

What's more, the salary of 300 million yuan is not too much for Cao Jun. With Cao Jun's current worth, he can easily earn two concerts at random.

Of course, the most important point is that in the movie "Assembly", Cao Jun can only play the second male lead, which is the fundamental reason why Cao Jun and Zong Shuai are unwilling to join.

Thinking of this, Cao Jun immediately replied: "Huang Dong, because I am the number one artist of the third studio, I want to fight for the interests of our studio."

"Frankly speaking, I just need to shoot a commercial for a day or two, and I earn more than 300 million yuan. It's not that I'm short of this money,"

"I'm not the leading actor, and I don't need to treat myself badly for a supporting role. If "Assembly Number" really becomes popular, it will be the director who is popular, and the leading actor Zhang Hanyu is the one who is popular. I am the second male lead, what do I have? amazing……"

After listening to Cao Jun's words, Huang Zhongjun nodded. With Cao Jun's current fame and popularity, 300 million yuan is really not much.

The main reason why Huang Zhongjun valued Cao Jun so much was because Cao Jun could make a lot of money for the company.

Moreover, what Cao Jun said is very reasonable, even if "Assembly" becomes popular, it is still Zhang Hanyu's masterpiece.

Over time, when people talk about the movie "Assembly", the first thing people think of is Gu Zidi played by the male Zhang Hanyu, not Cao Jun who plays the second male lead.

After some exchanges, Huang Zhongjun decided to raise Cao Jun's salary from 100 million to 300 million at his own expense.
