China Entertainment Zero Two Ordinary Actor

"Guest appearance? Looking for me? Do you know what you are talking about?"

When Fang Yu faced Mary's timid invitation, he startled Mary as soon as he opened his mouth.

Huang Bo blew his nose and glared when he heard what Mary said, "You little pony, you are so crazy. Do you know how much Fang Yu gets paid for a movie in Hollywood? The total investment of your movie is not even enough to pay Mr. Fang! And you still want him to make a cameo appearance."

"Okay, Brother Bo, stop playing the good guy. The fact that you brought them here shows that you know what they are going to do. Why are you talking about it so far?" Fang Yu rolled his eyes at Huang Bo, who kept shrinking his neck and grinning foolishly.

"Just sit there and watch? You have no sense of responsibility. Let Ma Li come, why don't you come?" Fang Yu glared at Shen Teng again. Shen Teng hurried over, also looking embarrassed.

Fang Yu's words made Ma Li feel more favorable towards Fang Yu, and she stole a glance at Fang Yu.

"What's the name of your film? Briefly tell me the plot."

Shen Teng immediately straightened his back: "Charlotte is worried!"

"Oh!" Fang Yu pretended to hear it for the first time, "Go on, tell me the plot in detail."

Shen Teng began to review the plot, while Fang Yu was daydreaming.

Speaking of The Troubles of Charlotte, it had a huge impact when it was released, including in the subsequent Chinese-language film market, which was no less influential than Lost in Thailand, in which he had a cameo appearance.

There was a role in the film that was originally intended to be played by La Ying, a 60-year-old lady guarding the national border, but La Ying refused. This incident made her the subject of public ridicule for many years.

Fang Yu is not afraid that Hi-Xin Mahua will also spoof a character for him, but if you look at it from the perspective of a future person, it would definitely be a good thing for him if he made a cameo appearance in this film.

"How about this, I won't ask for much. I know you can't give me much as far as salary. Why don't we have a profit-sharing agreement? Give me some of the box office revenue. We can go the Hollywood route. I also have requirements for the length of time. We'll just shoot for one day. It's up to your group to decide how much content to shoot. But don't worry, with my acting skills, you can shoot a lot of scenes in one day."

If someone else had made a guest appearance like this, I'm afraid Huang Bo, Ma Li and Shen Teng would have cursed at them.

After performing for just one day, you still want a share of the box office revenue. Isn't that crazy?
But it was Fang Yu who spoke.

Who is Fang Yu?

Box office boy! Absolutely lucky guy.

There is no film that fails to make money when he participates in it.

And the reputation is getting better and better, and basically all the works are above the passing line.

There are some superstitious elements in this, but we also have to mention Fang Yu's box office influence.

And not asking for pay is a good thing too.

If he wants to be paid, considering Fang Yu's worth, the investors must increase their investment. Currently, the cost of Charlotte's Troubles is 20 million. If Fang Yu wants to star in it, even the simplest cameo will cost at least 50 million.
This will also result in the film failing to recoup its costs, and the reputation of Haixin Mahua will plummet among investors.

He hadn't accumulated any fame to begin with, so if he wanted to get a giant like Fang Yu on board, he would have to pay some price.

"So, how much is the share, Brother Yu?"

"One-fifth of the box office, that's about right."

one fifth.

For an investment of 20 million, if the cost can be recovered three times without losing money, then even if the box office is only 70 or 80 million, this movie will not lose money.

If you add in some advertising fees, it is definitely profitable.

Just a guest appearance for one day and earning one-fifth of the box office, from the perspective of the three people present, it turned out that the crew of "Charlotte's Troubles" got a big bargain.

Because even if this movie is a "big win" with a box office of 100 million, Fang Yu will only get 20 million. In the eyes of the three people, Fang Yu's guest appearance this time, no matter how you look at it, should be a loss for him.

Although the higher the box office, the more Fang Yu will take.

But how high can it be? Higher than Lost on Journey? Or higher than Lost in Thailand? That's impossible!

At this time, Shen Teng and Ma Li had no idea that their "Charlotte's Troubles" would eventually reach a box office of 14 billion. If they knew that Fang Yu was going to take one-fifth, they would definitely object at this time.
Fang Yu looked at Shen Tengmali, "How is it?"

"That's great, Teacher Fang!" Ma Li hurried over and held Fang Yu's hand, "Thank you so much!"

The two of them didn't even have to discuss it with the investors and the crew, they knew that this "deal" would definitely be a win for them.

Inviting Fang Yu to appear, even as a guest star, would cost at least tens of millions, and it is still unknown whether the film can make money. Fang Yu might even work for nothing and get a million-dollar box office that an ordinary actor can get.
So no matter how you look at it, we should thank Fang Yu.

Not to mention Shen Teng, he showed the expression of "Hao Jian" and was very embarrassed to curry favor with Fang Yu. Huang Bo was also very happy at this time. As the introducer of Shen Teng and Ma Li, he could naturally get some benefits.

"Okay, let's find a time to contact each other, sign the contract, and perform the play one day. As long as the script doesn't discredit me, it's fine."

Shen Teng and Ma Li thanked Fang Yu again. After seeing the three off, Fang Yu finally had some time to rest.

While others were still busy preparing for the Spring Festival Gala, Fang Yu's program had already passed the review, and all that was left was for him to rehearse.

Even some other veteran actors are still busy at this time.

Fang Yu had another ventriloquist training session, and coincidentally, another acquaintance came.

[Your ventriloquism skills shocked Chenglong, Liang Jiahui, Chen Huilin, Guo Caijie, and Zhang Guoli, and you gained ventriloquism skills +3 and acting skills +2! ]

These people gathered together to watch Fang Yu's show and squeezed together.

"Yuzai! I feel like I'm tired of seeing you recently! Nice to see you again!" Chenglong gave Fang Yu a hug as usual, and Fang Yu responded with a smile.

"Come on, Uncle Long, are you going to rush me through the progress of The Adventures of Jackie Chan?"

"No, no! That's not happening! Just focus on your Spring Festival Gala program, that's the most important thing!"

Fang Yu nodded, "Oh, then I believe it."

"Look at these two international superstars. They have so much to talk about when they meet, leaving us here alone~" Zhang Guoli joked.

Others can't say this, but Zhang Guoli can.

His cooperation with Fang Yu in 1942 was very good, and they were very familiar with each other, which made the atmosphere more lively and less awkward.

"That's right! I will definitely reminisce with Uncle Long, who is more famous than me, first! I have such low emotional intelligence!" Fang Yu joked and everyone laughed.

Fang Yu shook hands with Liang Jiahui and Chen Huilin, then looked at Guo Caijie, "Oh, you're on the Spring Festival Gala too?"

This year, Guo Caijie and Yang Kun brought a chorus song "Answer".

It's the song, "There is a simple question, what is love? Love is like a blue sky, white clouds, a gentle breeze, and a sudden storm."

This song is one of the few songs that has become popular during the Spring Festival Gala in recent years. Many people also like to use this song as background music in later short videos.

"Alright, stop bothering me. After I get rid of you, I have to continue rehearsing. This is a 14-minute solo show. If there is any mistake, I will be held responsible."
