Chapter 117 Who doesn’t like money

Gongger and Zhou Xingxing found a teahouse to start chatting.

Zhou Xingxing was distraught now and didn't want to pay attention to him, but when Gondel took out a movie script called "The Mermaid" and showed him a little, he suddenly became interested.

"Let me ask first, who is this screenwriter?" As soon as he sat down, Zhou Xingxing asked the script author first.

"Oh, this script was written by our Mr. Gu a long time ago, but we haven't found a suitable director to take over."

"Mr. Gu?" Zhou Xingxing was shocked. He was a very high-profile person and was a little disdainful of the scripts Gu Zhongyu had written before. Even if he felt that "Ball Lightning" was still working, it was mainly based on the original work.

.

But now when he sees the script "Mermaid", he loves it so much. His style, lines and various funny memes feels like he wrote it himself!

Zhou Xingxing, who had a grudge against Gu Zhongyu, now feels like he meets a confidant!

"The movies of our two families are still fighting in theaters! And I just finished filming "Journey to the West to Suppress the Demons" and wanted to take a break for a while, and I have no plans to make a new film for the time being. I appreciate Mr. Gu's kindness."

Gongger saw through Zhou Xingxing’s thoughts at a glance. If you want to rest for a while, isn’t it just waiting for us to get conditions!

"Don't worry, Stephen Chow, we are not like some companies, and we will definitely not harm your interests. Before I came, Mr. Gu had already prepared two plans for cooperation sharing, it depends on which one you like."

"The first plan is that we will give you a director's salary of 30 million yuan, plus a box office dividend agreement. If the total box office of "Mermaid" exceeds 700 million yuan, you will get a dividend of 60 million yuan. Note that it is the total box office, not the separate box office."

"The second plan is that the director's pay is reduced to 15 million, but the box office dividend will increase, with a total box office exceeding 500 million, and a dividend of 60 million. However, if it exceeds 1.4 billion, we will add you another 60 million, which means a total of 1.1 million.

Rewards of 35 million!”

A pure director's pay of 30 million!

When Zhou Xingxing heard this number, he couldn't help but feel excited!

It’s still 2012. Before the big explosion of capital in the entertainment industry, mainland directors can barely reach this number of salary for a single movie. Other Chen Kaige and Feng’s pants can’t exceed 20 million if they are thrust to death.

, He only earned more than 10 million yuan in a movie "Journey to the West".

Not to mention the 80 million box office share that he agreed to, with a total box office of 700 million. Zhou Xingxing felt that he must be fine. The male lead of "Journey to the West" was scolded like this, and he did not delay the single-day box office two.

A 30 million increase!

Of course, the second plan is also very tempting. He gets 140 million at a time, so he normally has to make four or five movies to get so many.

It's just that the box office is over 1.4 billion, and Zhou Xingxing has no plug-in, so he can't see how many domestic movies will appear in the film market in a few years.

He only knew that there was no Chinese-language movie that could exceed 1 billion, and "Sphere Lightning" was also lingering.

"Then you should have some conditions here, right?" There is no free lunch in the world. The other party has such a generous price, so he will definitely have his own demands in film production.

Gunger picked up the teacup and drank it all: "This is natural, but in fact it is just one requirement, that is, the male and female protagonists and other supporting roles of this movie will be selected by our company, and of course you will check it. If you think it is

If it cannot be used, we will respect your opinion."

Zhou Xingxing always likes to use newcomers when making movies, but this guy has a good and bad view of people. Among the star girls after the new century, there are beauties like Huang Shengyi and Zhang Yuqi, "The Mermaid" will also appear.

The heroine - Catfish Jing Lin Yun, such an ugly and bad actress,

Not to mention E Jingwen, the heroine of "The New King of Comedy", is the star girl with the least presence in history, and the ugly ones are all unique.

Although Zhou Xingxing was a little unhappy about others interfering in the casting of his movies (mainly because he has a weird personality and needs to find someone who likes him and has a good personality. Whether he is beautiful or not is second to him). But for the sake of money,

It’s not that we can’t give in at all, and the other party also reserved a veto for him, so we shouldn’t pick out the annoying actors.

There are many people who are difficult to get along with in the entertainment industry, and there are many people with bad tempers, but Zhou Xingxing is definitely the only one. He can make everyone who has worked with him turn against each other!

Wang Jin, Luo Jiayin, Li Lichi, Huang Shengyi, Hong Jinbao, etc., including Lee Soo-hyun, who is very kind to Zhou Xingxing, he was also strangers in the end, and without exception, he scolded Zhou Xingxing for being too bad, and there was no way to do so.

get along.

One or two have a falling out, it can be said that it is the other party's problem, but almost all the friends who cooperate with each other point at the end, they will point at the nose and scold you for being a bad person, so you will definitely get more or less involved...

He wants money, is arbitrary, ignores other people's feelings, has a strong temper, and is easily cursed on the set. Wu Mengda once said: I am the only one who has worked with Xingzai for 20 years and has not been scolded by him. As a result,

This pair of best partners will end up turning against each other.

In fact, Zhou Xingxing was not like this in her early years. She became more and more weird as her fame and status rose.

So now Zhou Xingxing is choosing a partner and an actor. The first thing he needs to do is tolerate his temper, otherwise he will not need to do so no matter how good the conditions are!

"You can take both solutions back and take a look. We are not saying that you can make a decision immediately. The movie is not ready so quickly. Just contact me if you think about it."

Zhou Xingxing nodded. He had to sue the Wang brothers in the next day. Even if the chances of winning were not high, he would have to fight for it himself. If the money could not be brought back, he would have to ruin the reputation of the two brothers!

Seeing that Zhou Xingxing had accepted the script and agreement, Gondel knew that the task was completed. He should not be able to refuse such generous conditions, so he stood up and prepared to say goodbye.

"The person who called me to remind me last night was also from our company, right?" Zhou Xingxing couldn't help but guessed that it was arranged by Gu Zhongyu. After all, he and the Wang brothers were in court, which is also beneficial to Zongheng Film and Television.

Not to mention Gondel was waiting downstairs early in the morning.

Although he felt he was being used, Zhou Xingxing was not very angry this time. After all, he was just helping him, otherwise he would not know when he would be fooled.

Gongger did not answer, just as he was tacitly informed, but just turned around and smiled at Zhou Xingxing and pushed the door away.

Looking at the dividend agreement and script on the table, Zhou Xingxing murmured to himself: "How great is money! Who doesn't like money?"
