Chapter 147: What the hell? Thirty million?(1/2)
"All...all..."
The phone rang twice but was still not connected.
While Ning Luoxia was pacing back and forth at home, she mentally asked Lin Yuan to answer the phone quickly.
In her opinion, if the salary is not starting with 1, then it is starting with 2. The salary of more than 20 million is definitely a big improvement for Lin Yuan. It is no exaggeration to say that if he takes this movie,
This is a disguised way of raising my net worth. If other producers come over and want to book a movie in the future, they will definitely not be much worse than this.
Of course, except for those movies by big directors, such as Mr. Xing.
After a few seconds, the call finally got through.
Lin Yuan's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hey, Sister Xia, I was in the bedroom just now and didn't hear the phone ring. Is there something wrong?"
"Are you free tomorrow?"
"What, invite me out to dinner?"
"Half guessed right."
"Invite me?" Lin Yuan said deliberately pretending to be surprised.
Ning Luoxia rolled her eyes at Lin Yuan angrily on the other end of the phone.
Even though he is such a big star, he is still as rude as when he first joined her.
"Have a meal!"
Speaking of this, Ning Luoxia also added: "There is a big-budget movie that lacks a leading actor, so we just made an appointment to have a dinner to talk about it."
After hearing the words "big production", Lin Yuan directly agreed.
Anyway, he only has a Mermaid movie scheduled next, so he can definitely take on another movie.
In addition to the schedule, the word "big production" also made his heart beat. Big production means high pay.
Don't forget, his wallet is still in a shrinking state. After buying a villa, there is not much left.
Under such circumstances, he could only quickly take on two more dramas to support his family.
Moreover, Sister Xia said that it is a large-scale production, and generally it can be called a large-production movie, and the quality is basically no problem.
The reason why I am so sure that the quality is not bad is very simple, because it can be called a big-budget movie, and its cast is relatively luxurious. The cast is luxurious, which means that the script is not too bad.
After all, no actor is willing to act in a bad movie. Of course, there are two exceptions. One is that the film studio offers too much, which is too much for the actor to refuse, and the other is that the film company invites all popular stars.
However, in Lin Yuan's opinion, since the other party has come to him, they must value his acting skills, and presumably he will not encounter the latter situation.
After analyzing the current situation, Lin Yuan started to look forward to it. Who doesn't want to make money? As for the specific movie, we can only know it after tomorrow.
With this expectation, time flies by quickly.
The next morning, Sister Xia came over personally and picked Lin Yuan up in the car.
On the way to the dinner, Lin Yuan couldn't help but inquire: "Sister Xia, do you know what movie it is?"
Sister Xia shook her head.
She didn't know what movie it was, but she got some information from her friend in the industry: "Do you usually read novels?"
"novel?"
"I read it before, but then I changed to read the script." Lin Yuan replied.
When I was in Hengdian, I would read novels in my spare time. After all, wherever the extras went, the play would end.
But now he can no longer do it. He has to spend his time memorizing the script and pondering the role.
Sister Xia was also afraid that Lin Yuan would dislike the movie after hearing that it was adapted from a novel, so she helped by saying a few words: "I only know that the movie seems to be adapted from a novel, and it is also very popular among young people. I want to come."
It shouldn't be bad if adapted into a movie."
But for Lin Yuan, who was sitting in the passenger seat and thinking, it didn't really matter whether it was an adaptation of the novel or not. What mattered was how effective the adaptation was.
After all, the adaptation is not random editing, and the play is not nonsense. There is still some truth in this statement.
The car was "speeding" all the way. After half an hour's journey and nearly 25 minutes of traffic jam, we finally arrived at this high-end restaurant that looked very grand.
Lin Yuan put on a mask and got out of the car to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Sister Xia's friend had been waiting at the door of the restaurant for a long time. When she saw Ning Luoxia and Lin Yuan appear, she immediately came forward to greet them.
While saying hello, his eyes were almost on Lin Yuan: "Luoxia, long time no see, this is the artist you brought, Lin Yuan, right? What a talent, much better than the two unsatisfactory artists I have.
It’s really hard to support it even if we don’t have the resources.”
Sister Xia didn't take it seriously. She said a few polite words and followed her friend all the way into the box.
Before they came in, there were already four people sitting in the box.
One of them looked familiar to Lin Yuan, Xiaosi, in the words of their film and television industry, perhaps he should be called Director Guo.
As for the other three people, Lin Yuan had never seen them before.
After seeing Lin Yuan and others pushing the door open, Director Guo and the other two stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Teacher Lin Yuan, I have seen you on the big screen in the theater before, but I didn't expect to see you in person this time."
Come on, come on, let’s sit down and talk.”
Lin Yuan also shook hands with Director Guo out of politeness: "Hello, Director Guo, who are these?"
After hearing what Lin Yuan said, Xiao Si also quickly introduced: "This is Manager Zhang from LeTV Pictures. Zhang Ying is also an investor in our film, and the other two are my assistants."
Upon seeing this, Zhang Ying also stood up and shook hands with Lin Yuan as a sign of goodwill.
But he was sitting next to Xiaosi, and when he stood up, Xiaosi suddenly became half a head shorter.
After a few brief chats, Xiaosi quickly brought the topic to the main topic.
"Teacher Lin Yuan, I am going to adapt one of my novels into a movie. I am still short of a starring role. I wonder if you are interested."
As if he was afraid that Lin Yuan would not be tempted, Xiao Si did not forget to add: "You can rest assured in terms of film production. With the investment of LeTV Film and Television, we guarantee that this film will definitely have the highest production level among films in recent years, and I will give
You tell me a piece of news: I also invited a top-notch actress, Mr. Fan, to this movie."
I have to say, what Xiaosi said is quite tempting.
LeTV Pictures just completed Series B financing last year, and is also vigorously developing its resources in Hollywood. It can be said that it has deep pockets and broad development prospects.
With the investment of LeTV Pictures, it will take a lot of advantage in all aspects of publicity and distribution of the movie. In addition, this is an adaptation of Xiaosi's novel and it also has a certain fan base, which guarantees that the box office of this movie will definitely not be
Too low.
What Lin Yuan didn't expect was that Xiaosi actually invited Fan Ye. From this look, the other leading actors must also have great backgrounds.
No matter which aspect you look at, the quality and box office of this movie seem to be guaranteed.
However, Lin Yuan was not in a hurry to agree.
Instead, he asked about the most realistic thing: "Director Guo, what about the salary?"
As Lin Yuan finished speaking, a smile immediately appeared on Xiaosi's face. He was afraid that Lin Yuan was unwilling to talk, so he refused directly. Since Lin Yuan was willing to talk, he was sure that Lin Yuan would be tempted.
"Don't worry, I have discussed this with Manager Zhang before. With your current popularity, Mr. Lin Yuan, what do you think of a salary of 20 million?"
It is undeniable that the salary proposed by Xiao Si is really very attractive.
With Lin Yuan's current popularity as an A-list star, his salary is generally around 15 million. As a result, he directly raised his salary to 20 million. Even if he split it 50-50 with the company, he would still have 10 million in his own hands.
The salary is almost the same as starring in a TV series. To say that you are not interested would be speaking out of conscience.
Even Sister Xia, who was sitting next to Lin Yuan, cast her eyes directly on Lin Yuan after hearing Xiaosi finish talking about the salary.
Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't answer for a long time, he coughed twice, hinting that Lin Yuan agreed.
But Lin Yuan noticed something was wrong.
The reason is very simple. Logically speaking, if a star is invited to star in such a big-budget movie, let alone a premium, even if it is one or two million less than the average market price, there are probably many actors who are willing to do so.
Moreover, Xiaosi also invited top celebrities like Fan Ye.
You don't need to think about it to know that Fan Ye's salary is at least double that of him. After spending so much money to hire Fan Ye, he can still offer him a salary of 20 million yuan to invite him. Unless the other leading actors are all friendly actors, they don't care at all.
Remuneration, otherwise Lin Yuan would not be able to think of the reason why the remuneration is so high.
With this doubt in mind, Lin Yuan asked directly: "Director Guo, I am indeed very satisfied with the pay, but can I read the script first?"
Just after Lin Yuan said he wanted to read the script, the smile on Xiaosi's face suddenly disappeared.
However, after seeing Zhang Ying wink at him, Xiao Si still took out the prepared script.
There is a reason why they came to Lin Yuan.
One is because Lin Yuan is currently very popular on the Internet, even more popular than some traffic stars.
Secondly, he took a fancy to Lin Yuan's title as a powerful faction.
Their scene was actually halfway through filming, but many problems were discovered during the filming process.
It is obviously impossible to ask other actors to wait for the script to be revised before reshooting.
Then there is only one other way, selling sheep's head as dog's meat.
Lure Lin Yuan, a powerful actor, into the crew. It wouldn't take much time to fill in a few scenes for Lin Yuan anyway, and then use Lin Yuan as a promotional selling point for the movie.
