You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 45 The Blonde Female Assistant

Wang Quan and Wang Keying's family flew back to Los Angeles together. In order to let their daughter get closer to the director, the parents let Wang Keying sit next to Wang Quan, while they sat far away.

But Wang Keying was a little afraid of this handsome director brother, he was so strict last night.

And Wang Quan didn't have time to talk to the woman he couldn't touch. In Wang Keying's eyes, Wang Quan started painting after he got on the plane and kept painting. He was completely immersed in his own world, frowning from time to time, ecstatic from time to time, and saddened from time to time.

While building the scene in the escape room with paper and pen, Wang Quan smoothed out the plot in the scene. He tried to delete some trivial things, and at the same time filled in some dialogues and props that were not there before, trying to make the story more smooth, compact and accurate. interesting.

It’s not that the original version is bad, but Wang Quan can not only watch the movie, but also see the 10,000+ comments left by fans all over the world under the movie, and there are dozens of comments with more than a thousand likes alone.

Some of these hot reviews became hot reviews because of sharp complaints, but many of them were really meaningful, pointing out the shortcomings and shortcomings of the movie.

As Wen Ziren's younger brother, the original director Adam Robbit has done a pretty good job under his own ability, especially in saving money, but there is still room for improvement.

When filming "The Basement", Wang Quanchu directed the film, and he was very cautious. Except for the new protagonist group, the rest of the original version was almost reproduced one-to-one, even the language of the camera was copied.

But now his ability, courage and ambition do not allow him to reproduce the lens language of a B-level film director who has only made a few low-budget horror films. Many times he will have a flash of inspiration, oops, here In fact, it can be shot like this!Damn, I'm such a genius!
There were too many inspirations, and Wang Quan naturally ignored Wang Keying, but Xiao Wang became very curious about this Chinese director. How did he manage to not even look at himself? Are girls still fragrant?
Kingship returned to normal after the plane landed, and Dorothy was busy, so she sent her new assistant, Britt Marling, to pick them up.

Looking at this bookish blond beauty, Wang Quan was startled, "Why are you? Not an actress anymore?"

After graduating from Georgetown University last year, Ma Ling went to Los Angeles alone, wanting to seek a job as an actress. She also auditioned for the heroine of "The Basement". Although she is cheaper and looks as good as Megan, King Quan still chooses Megan, who has many years of acting experience.

However, Ma Ling also stayed on the production team, acting as Wang Quan's assistant, doing miscellaneous things, because of the tight budget, she was used by several people by herself. After the film was finished, the production team disbanded, and Wang Quan had no contact with her.

Unexpectedly, she suddenly became Dorothy's assistant, and she was the first employee of the dragon except for the two bosses. Maybe Dorothy just took a fancy to her as the ox and horse used by several people in the "Basement" crew. force it.

Ma Ling replied, "This job does not affect my other pursuits, but it is more beneficial, doesn't it?"

Wang Quan also searched for this sister Ma Ling in the "Video Library". He thought that she would be popular with such a good looks and excellent education, but it turned out that she was far inferior to Megan.

Although she also entered this circle smoothly later, not only as an actor, but also wrote, directed and acted by herself, and gradually gained the name of "talented woman", but it was only limited to a small circle and failed to enter the mainstream of Hollywood.

Wang Quan welcomes her very much. A company can't have no one who likes men. After shaking hands, he asked, "Boss Tao hired an assistant for himself. What about me? Do I have an assistant?"

Ma Ling replied, "Dorothy wants you to choose your assistant as the director, and she will choose a few suitable candidates for you."

"That's good, let's go back to the company."

Dorothy is in the company, and the family of three will be handed over to her and her assistant. The contract and remuneration will be negotiated. It can't be too low.

Because according to Hollywood rules, all movies with a cost of more than 300 million must use members of the Screen Actors Guild, so she must first join the membership.

For example, when Li Yin made "The Wedding Banquet" and "Pushing Hands", the cost was 40 dollars and 60 dollars, and no one cared at all. Some actors are actually family members or friends, and they can shoot whenever they want.

When Wang Quan filmed "The Basement", the cost was less than 300 million, but coincidentally, the three actors selected were all members of the guild, so Dorothy could go out and boast that the cost of 500 million would not be revealed.

But using union members is also quite troublesome. You can’t work more than eight hours a day. Actors have weekends and statutory holidays. If you want to film during your break, you can. I will work for you with double or even triple salary.

Moreover, members of the actor union still have a minimum basic salary. Wang Quan learned about it, and it seems that the daily salary cannot be lower than 800 US dollars. If it is based on a one-month shooting cycle, it is 2.4 dollars.

So it's not surprising that Wang Keying finally got a 5 dollar film remuneration for King Quan, and Gadot will be about the same price by then.

Because in addition to filming, Dorothy also has a package of publicity plans that require the cooperation of several main creators, and their time and image will be occupied by then.

But the first thing to do is to help Wang Keying apply to join the American Screen Actors Guild and pay the membership fee. If the annual income is less than 20 US dollars, the membership fee is 116+ annual income x 1.85%. The higher the annual income, the lower the membership fee ratio.

This money cannot be saved, so Wang Quan joined the Directors' Union and the Screenwriters' Union, and the two unions greatly guaranteed his personal rights.

When Wang Keying signed the contract, she became extremely excited. I am only 14 years old and can earn so much money. I am so proud!
But when Papa Wang said, "You are still young, Daddy will save the money for you first", Wang Quan understood that although Papa Wang can't speak Mandarin, he is still his own!How familiar and intimate this scene is!
This moment, just like that moment~
Afterwards, Dorothy asked Wang Quan about Gadot's situation, and Wang Quan assured that she would definitely come back.

Now that two of the six leading actors have been confirmed, there is no need to worry about the other four. "We will go through the process of auditioning actors after your full version of the script is written."

Gadot and Wang Keying were considered to have slipped through the net outside the formal process. The price of the two pure newcomers was very cheap, which was lower than Dorothy's budget, so she felt that other actors could be a little more expensive.

Wang Quan doesn't care about the salary, he only cares about whether the script and the actors fit the role.

"I'll give you the full version of the script within a week, so I'm going to kill the robot now. I was supposed to go over to supervise the post-production yesterday."

"Well, okay, let's divide our forces and I will continue to discuss the plan with Hussein."

Wang Quan suggested, "I think we can increase the Internet publicity, and use the power of online platforms, such as YouTube, which is very popular recently and young people like it. I am quite familiar with their founders."

"Yutu..." Dorothy thought thoughtfully after hearing this.

"abandon, abandon..." Yang Mi's English words became more and more standard. Even Concubine Liu Yi praised her, "Well, very standard American pronunciation."

"Ah, Sissy, why are you here? You came here to see me!"
