card star

Chapter 433

As Fan Wencheng, he is naturally qualified to make such a request, but Lin Xiao took out this work for his own sake. He must win the role of Chen Yongren, and he has a five-star king card , playing this role is naturally easy.

"The leading role must be an actor with outstanding acting skills. Besides, the role of Chen Yongren is mine!" Lin Xiao said equally resolutely.

In fact, although Fan Wencheng was the director's choice for this film, it doesn't mean that without Fan Wencheng, there is no other choice.

Fan Wencheng frowned and wrinkled all of a sudden. Although Lin Xiao had previously starred in two films "The Iron Fist of Shame" and "My Sassy Girlfriend" which were both successful, it did not mean that Fan Wencheng recognized Lin Xiao's acting skills.

In fact, the two films played by Lin Xiao have far less demanding acting skills than this film.

He is more inclined to find two seasoned actors to play the two roles of Liu Jianming and Chen Yongren, but Lin Xiao, he has never considered it.

Even so, looking at Lin Xiao's attitude, Fan Wencheng also knew that he might not compromise in this regard.

Although the contact time between the two was very short, Fan Wencheng could tell that Lin Xiao was determined.

If it weren't for the excellent script, Fan Wencheng even thought that there was no need to continue the conversation. After pondering for a while, Fan Wencheng frowned and said: "Chen Yongren's role is very complicated. To be honest, I don't quite believe it. The acting is good, but since you said it, let’s make a compromise, I hope you can audition with other actors, if your acting skills are completely satisfactory to me, then it’s okay, if the gap is too big, then there’s no problem There is a way."

Lin Xiao can understand Fan Wencheng's doubts, but he has absolute confidence in this role, so he nodded and said, "Okay!"

After discussing these conditions, the only issue left is the salary.

In fact, Lin Xiao already has a certain understanding of film remuneration before. According to domestic practice, the film remuneration of top domestic directors is generally 1+1 or 2+0.5.

1+1是1000万加10%的票房利润分成，2+0.5是2000万+5%的票房利润分成。

This is similar to top actor pay.

Of course, although Fan Wencheng has touched the threshold of the top, but only touched it.

So he actually can't get this level of pay.

"Then the remaining problem is the issue of remuneration. I have two plans here. One is 1+1, that is, the remuneration of 1000 million plus 15.00% of the revenue from the box office. The other plan is that I can No salary, but I want [-]% of the box office revenue!"

"A share of box office revenue, not a share of profit?" Lin Xiao asked, looking straight at Fan Wencheng.

Fan Wencheng nodded and said, "Of course it's the box office revenue share!"

Lin Xiao smiled, looking at Fan Wencheng, Lin Xiao already crossed Fan Wencheng in his heart.

You must know that for a film, especially a film like "Infernal Affairs" with an investment of over [-] million, the investment of over [-] million is only the production cost, not the final cost.

In addition to the cost of publicity and distribution, this cost will go up, and the profit share of the box office generally refers to deducting production costs, publicity and distribution costs, etc., after deducting the share with theaters, taxes, etc. Profit sharing.

And if it is a direct box office share, then it can be said that Fan Wencheng is not just as simple as a lion, but wants to take [-]% of the film's share by himself. This is already a top domestic director. treatment.

That is to say, based on the cost of 1500 million, as long as the cost is paid back, Fan Wen will have to pay [-] million.

You must know that in China, box office revenue accounts for more than 80.00% of a movie's revenue, instead of having a complete peripheral industrial chain like foreign countries.

Moreover, the final profit sharing of a film needs to be shared if other investors are introduced. It is obviously unacceptable for him to take 15.00% of the film as a director.

"Director Fan, are you sure you're not joking?" Lin Xiao asked with a chuckle.

"In this regard, I never joke." Fan Wencheng shook his head and said.

In fact, Lin Xiao was still a little puzzled. Logically speaking, Fan Wencheng should not be the kind of brainless person who thought that the film could not be made without him, and offered such a price that any investor would not be able to accept.

If the High Heaven Pavilion was just a small studio, then Fan Wencheng’s exorbitant price would still be justified, but he could not have known that the High Heaven Pavilion is no longer a small studio. Although it cannot be compared with those giants, but It is also a new force in the film industry that cannot be ignored.

But he still offered such a high price, is there something he doesn't know about it?

Next, the negotiation between the two parties continued, but Fan Wencheng kept insisting on the price he offered. Naturally, it was impossible for Lin Xiao to back down, and the negotiation fell into a stalemate for a while.

During this process, Lin Xiao discovered that Fan Wencheng had always looked confident, and he could also see that Fan Wencheng was actually very confident in this film, but he refused to give in half a step.

Lin Xiao couldn't help but sneered in his heart, really thought he was the only one who could shoot this movie in the entire Huaguo, okay?
I started to feel more and more dissatisfied in my heart. Since we couldn't reach an agreement, we wouldn't cooperate. Let's see who regrets it then?
"In this case, I can only say I'm sorry, I'm sorry for wasting your time," Lin Xiao said lightly.

However, Fan Wencheng said with the same faint smile: "If Mr. Lin changes his mind, please contact me at any time. Personally, I still like this movie very much."

After returning, Lin Xiao received bad news, which made him realize why Fan Wencheng was so confident.

Among Hua Guo's top three directors who are good at shooting gangster films, Chen Mu has already taken over a film, and it is about to start shooting. It is also a film invested by Xuanhuang Film and Television. It is also a big production, and he has no schedule at all.

Originally, apart from Fan Wencheng, there was another director, Yang Hao, but the bad news came from Yang Hao's side.

"Director Yang Hao likes our script very much, but he just signed a film contract. He said that if we can wait for him for half a year, he would be willing to take this film, but obviously not now." Xiao Jie sighed.

Lin Xiao thought of Fan Wencheng's meaningful smile. He was afraid that Fan Wencheng had known these things in advance, so he looked like a rare commodity.

"By the way, how did your talk with Fan Wencheng go?" Xiao Jie asked again.

Lin Xiao shook his head, and after repeating Fan Wencheng's offer, Xiao Jie also frowned.

"Is there no other suitable candidates besides these three?" Lin Xiao asked a little depressed.

Xiao Jie shook her head and said: "You also know that the film "Infernal Affairs" is difficult for ordinary directors to shoot well. Of course, if these three are not good, then we can only settle for the next best thing. only"
