Actor: My Entertainment Era

Chapter 332 Going to America
After wrapping "Space Traveler", Zhang Yuanjun originally wanted to fly directly to New York.

But Liu Yifei disagreed and insisted that he return to the capital to rest for two days before leaving.

Being on the set for two months was not enough. I was tired of being together these two days.

Journalists like this.

There is always material to shoot.

These two days have been full of fun and work.

The crew of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" spent the past two days trying to sign an actor contract with Zhang Yuanjun.

The crew is expected to start shooting in Tianmo Scenic Area in Hebei Province, not far from the capital, in October this year, and will shoot in Yinchuan, Hengdian and other places.

The crew signed Zhang Yuanjun for a schedule of more than 3 months and 100 days. The film's remuneration was based on Zhang Yuanjun's market price, totaling 1000 million, and was paid in three installments, with 30% paid on the start-up day, 30% paid halfway through filming, and the remaining 40% was paid after completion.

But Zhang Yuanjun's management team refused to let him sign so early.

"Bernard had a good idea, we won't fall for his trick."

Zhang Yuanjun thought about it and realized that Bernard would definitely have to bleed a lot in order to get Li Lien Lien to star in "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate". Even with Xu Ke's relationship, Li Lien Lien's salary could not be less than 7000 million.

Zhang Yuanjun's current salary of 1000 million is considered top-notch in the industry.

The first male and the second male will take away nearly [-] million yuan of the budget, and Bernard is almost unable to bear it now.

But Bernard still had to pay for it, and he had to identify Zhang Yuanjun as soon as possible.

Because in July, "Inception" will be released globally. If the movie does well by then, Zhang Yuanjun will definitely get a salary increase.

Poor performance?If you don't get good grades, blame Xiao Li. Why should you blame me, a supporting actor?
That's why Bernard wanted to sign the contract five months in advance.

In fact, it is quite common in the industry to sign actor contracts five months in advance, just to grab the actor's schedule.

Normally I would have signed it, but not this year. All actor contracts from this year onwards will be postponed until after "Inception" is released.

Waiting for price, market behavior, Bernard can't say Zhang Yuanjun's team is not authentic, another star team will do the same thing.

The crew of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" was rejected by Zhang Yuanjun, but got good news from Liu Yifei, who agreed to play the role of Ling Yanqiu.

But similarly, we have to wait until "Inception" is released before negotiating the contract.

Bernard didn't want to wait, so he had to wait, and he also had to hope that "Inception" would be a big hit. If "Inception" became a hit, he would use Zhang Yuanjun and Liu Yifei to market it.

On the 16th, Liu Yifei sent Zhang Yuanjun to the airport to fly to New York.

She hasn't told her boyfriend yet that she picked up "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate" because she's waiting to give him a shock.

"You take good care of yourself in the United States, and I will come over next month."

"Don't be like an old woman. This is nothing like what you would say." Zhang Yuanjun smiled and said, "Come on, give me a hug." Zhang Yuanjun opened his arms.

Liu Yifei nuzzled into her arms, and then decisively separated: "Okay, I will continue my career."

"It's all finished, what else are you doing?" Zhang Yuanjun said.

"As a responsible producer, my work begins after the film is completed."

"Decent."

"Fuck you." Liu Yifei waved her hand.

"What do you say?"

"Then you have a good trip." Liu Yifei smiled.

"You don't know how to talk well, right?" Zhang Yuanjun patted Liu Yifei's arm and left.

Liu Yifei watched Zhang Yuanjun disappear into the crowd, then turned and left.

"Hey, Tangtang." Liu Yifei took out her mobile phone and dialed Tang Yan's number. "Well, he went to New York. He just flew. I sent him. You are filming in the capital, okay, okay, I'll come over in the afternoon."... …

Zhang Yuanjun didn't know whether he met the two brothers Huayi and Wang on the plane to New York by chance or if they came to squat on him on purpose.

Zhang Yuanjun probably is the latter.

Otherwise, there is no explanation, and it seems so coincidental as to be fake.

Wang Zhonglei started talking to Zhang Yuanjun about the Spring Festival episode "Introduction to Architecture" versus "Love in the City", praising Liu Yifei for her good acting, which earned more than 1000 million at the box office with a small cost of around 6000 million.

"The audience still likes the fairy sister. How can other actresses get this kind of treatment?"

Then he talked about the newly completed "Space Traveler": "It's another great romance film, and it's a collaboration between the two of you. It will definitely be a hit."

"I think your film will sell better than that "Hawthorn Tree" one."

Then he talked about the upcoming "Inception".

Something that is sure to be a hit, something that is an international star, anyway, it just praises the two of them.

Zhang Yuanjun was confused and confused as to what kind of medicine the two brothers were selling.

It's also a bit suspicious. They said they were on a business trip to New York to discuss business, but what kind of business at Huayi requires the two brothers to come forward together?
The division of labor between the two brothers has always been clear. Wang Zhonglei is in charge of production and Wang Zhongjun is in charge of company management.

The two brothers rarely appear together.

After arguing for a long time, Wang Zhongjun smiled and said: "I am going to New York this time because I want to visit your eldest brother and sister-in-law."

"What do you see them for?"

"Didn't this mean we were going to build a film and television city, haha." Needless to say, Zhang Yuanjun understood what was going on.

Li Ying wants to use the names of Huayi and Xu Ke to build a film and television city, but she doesn't want to take Huayi for fun. All she wants is the banner of Huayi's No. [-] domestic film company, and she doesn't want the two brothers' money.

Although the two brothers are powerful in the domestic film industry, in the financial and real industries, there are many people who don't buy Huayi's account.

The market value of tens of billions does not mean that the two brothers really have tens of billions.

Although it is Li Ying who is in charge of this financing, Zhang Yuanjun is the only one in the Zhang family in the film and television industry, so his words will definitely be useful.

But Zhang Yuanjun said: "I can say something about the film project, but building a film and television city, a billion-dollar business, I can't make the final decision.

"Besides, Dongyun Fund does not belong to my family, but the CEO is my sister-in-law, and she has to listen to the boss behind her."

How could the Wang brothers not know that this was not a case of urgent medical treatment? I hope Zhang Yuanjun can help and put in a good word.

The brothers really want to participate in this film and television city project. Once the film and television city is built, it will be left there for 20, 30, [-] years, and it will steadily make money for investors. Huayi will then say that this is "Huayi's own film and television city." The grade market will definitely rise sharply.

Not to mention that it has been built, Huayi has been testing the market response during this period, and has released the news that the company intends to build a film and television city. The response has been very good.

If this is really built, the benefits will definitely be greater.

But Li Ying refused to let Huayi invest. The complexity of the funding behind this project was far beyond ordinary people's imagination. Li Ying never considered letting Huayi participate from the beginning to the end. All she wanted was Huayi's name.

Zhang Yuanjun said that he was helpless. He said that he was an actor. Building a film and television city, a major matter related to industrial layout, had nothing to do with Zhang Yuanjun directly, and his family would not listen to him.

Wang Zhonglei said: "If we can promote this cooperation, we are willing to give you another 200 million shares of Huayi stock."

This is worth tens of millions.

It's really generous to give it away for free.

But the money was so hot that Zhang Yuanjun refused to accept it: "Forget it, I can't say anything about this matter. If you go to New York to talk seriously, it will be more useful than my words. Business is all negotiated."

After Zhang Yuanjun picked up the headphones on his seat and signaled that he was going to rest, the Wang brothers smiled and left.
