Chapter 345 trouble (two in one)

The celebration banquet for "Hell Apartment 2" is still to be held.

After one month of release, the expected goal was perfectly achieved and the box office was 400 million yuan. While the box office performance was significantly higher than the previous work, it also maintained a very good reputation.

It is estimated that the movie will continue to be released for about a month later. Although it has entered the end of the screening, if you are more optimistic in the last month, maybe the total box office can reach 500 million.

After such a film was successful, it was natural that the production company invited the creative team to hold a celebration banquet together.

Fan Zhe also attended the banquet and delivered a speech with a microphone at the beginning of the banquet.

After finishing, he talked with Dai Weidong, the leader of the "Dimensional Brokerage" about the development of the company's artists, and also talked with Li Ze, one of the current main actors under the "Dimensional Brokerage", which inspired him. Looking back, Shi Jiangxuan and Lei Xiajun, two executives of "Dimensional Media", also came up and had some contact with each other.

This is a normal commercial cocktail party model. Although Fan Zhe doesn't like it very much, who made him the boss of Weidu Entertainment? Such things are inevitable. He also needs to take this opportunity to communicate with important figures in many branches and companies under the group, and at least bring some feelings closer.

Although, these people are actually more controlled by Ye Jiayi.

It felt like the time was almost over. When the celebration banquet was about to end, Fan Zhe was about to retreat and leave. Before that, a figure staggered towards him.

When I looked at it, I was the director of "Hell Apartment 2", Ji Jiaxin.

He must be considered a hero of this movie.

Before, there was someone around Van Zhe, so Ji Jiaxin didn't come here. But no matter what, the movie was successful, as the boss of the investor, Fan Zhe should have had a cup of tea with the director and chatted with him for a few words.

But why did he walk so shakyly? Seeing his red face, he probably drank a lot at the cocktail party just now.

With these chaotic thoughts and thoughts in his head, Ji Jiaxin had already walked closer.

"Mr. Fan!" Ji Jiaxin said with a happy face, "There were too many people around you just now, so I didn't come over. I drank some with others. I will definitely come to have a drink with you now."

Fan Zhe also smiled and said, "Okay, thank you for your hard work in the movie "Hell Apartment 2". Everyone has made great contributions to achieving such success."

After saying that, Fan Zhe raised his cup and touched Ji Jiaxin for a while, but didn't drink it.

Fan Zhe doesn't like drinking.

But Ji Jiaxin drank the wine filled in the cup in one sip, and then said unhappily: "If you don't drink toast, does Mr. Fan look down on me a little?"

Hearing these harsh words, Fan Zhe frowned, but then smiled and said, "How could it be, Director Ji Da is a hero of the film."

Then he raised his cup and took a sip.

This has given people a little face.

Ji Jiaxin's face was still not very good because he was thinking that Fan Zhe could kill it in one bite.

However, he did not continue to worry about this matter.

While he was drunk, he smiled and put his hand on Fan Zhe's shoulder, made a very intimate attitude, and then said: "Mr. Fan, you shot "Hell Apartment 1" by yourself. This second film was filmed by me, and the box office results are better than yours."

"..." Fan Zhe was already a little unhappy.

Can this be said like this? Can the pioneering work of a series be the same as a sequel filmed through a successful movie? The IP "Hell Apartment" has not been accumulated as a success as the first one, so where is it so successful? Especially in terms of actors, can the male lead Lai Ze be as popular as before?

What's more, the first and second parts have big differences in publicity investment alone. The second part, from production cost to publicity investment, all of which are more than twice as high as the first part.

Besides, the director's relationship is really big when the movie is successful, especially the movies with this kind of commercial film model? The script has been written long ago, the storyboard has been designed long ago, and the post-production special effects production with well-known reputation in Dimension Entertainment, so there is no need to say much.

Is this Ji Jiaxin so stupid after drinking too much?

Fan Zhe was a little angry, but after all, it was at a celebration banquet. He didn't want to make the scene too ugly, so he didn't intend to pay attention to this guy who looked proud and satisfied.

But they refused to let it go.

"Mr. Fan, the pay I received in this second part is really too low." Ji Jiaxin continued to say, and the smell of alcohol hit Fan Zhe's face, and with that big tongue, Fan Zhe was really uncomfortable.

He himself didn't realize it, but continued, "I know I didn't have any qualifications before, so it was normal to get such a pay at that time. However, now you should see my strength. The pay for the third part should be more in line with my identity. Six million should be a more reasonable number."

This sentence made Fan Zhe laugh.

Six million? This number is fifteen times the current pay for Ji Jiaxin when filming "Hell Apartment 2"!

"Come according to the contract." Fan Zhe waved his hand and said so.

The so-called contract refers to the contract signed by Ji Jiaxin when he applied to Wei Du Entertainment to serve as the director of "Hell Apartment 2". According to the treaty, Wei Du Entertainment has the right to choose whether Ji Jiaxin is the director of the third movie.

If Weidu Entertainment initiates this renewal clause, then Ji Jiaxin must act according to the contract. Of course, Weidu Entertainment also needs to pay Ji Jiaxin a bonus of 200,000 yuan, and the pay for the third part will also increase by no more than 60%.

This means that if you follow the contract, Ji Jiaxin's behavior of asking for a pay of 6 million is absolutely unreliable.

Fan Zhe definitely cannot agree with Ji Jiaxin's request here.

Give him six million and a 15-fold increase in salary, which is easy to say. What about the others? He started this, and the rest of the creative team later took advantage of this opportunity and ignored the contract and spoke out loud. What should I do? Then wouldn’t Weidu Entertainment want to open "Hell Apartment 3" again, and the cost is based on hundreds of millions?

What's more, Fan Zhe really doesn't think what would happen if he changed to a director.

At that time, when he asked for "Hell Apartment 2" and even for "Demacia: Glory", he insisted on finding a reliable, obedient and strong executive director, especially the last "execution" that was the most important.

As for what talent is mentioned, these can be discussed later. It doesn’t matter if there is no talent. For heavy industry films created by Weidu Entertainment, as long as the director has enough execution ability and can be rigorous and rigorous, with quality and quantity, it will be done according to the pre-project plan.

This is certainly a very important task, but to be honest, it is not difficult to find a director with strong execution.

Fan Zhe didn't think that the future "Hell Apartment 3" would be no longer able to play with Ji Jiaxin.

But Ji Jiaxin himself doesn't think so.

In his own heart, he is the biggest contributor to "Hell Apartment 2". All the shots, except for a very small number of full-effect shots, are shot in the other scenes by him, the director, with the crew from beginning to end.

Even, he was still dissatisfied with the films he edited later, and felt that many good shots he had shot were useless at all; a mere 100-minute film length was not enough to fully express what he thought as a director.

But there is no way. Who gave the post-production right to be edited is not in his hands in the end?

In fact, he was already very unhappy about this. He firmly believed that if Weidu Entertainment completely delegated power to this movie, he believed that he could make the finished product of this movie better and more awesome. Now, it can be released in just over 20 days and sold for 450 million yuan. If he completely delegated power to his own flowers, from the early planning to the post-production editing, even in design and special effects production, he could refer to his opinions, or simply guided by himself, wouldn’t the movie have to be sold for one billion, or even one billion?

The second part has no chance, after all, they have been released, but if the third part is taken over, he hopes to win the power these directors should have. Ji Jiaxin feels that the crew should be organized by themselves and find some more powerful people; the design must be reviewed by him and nodded; the editor just needs to start with himself and finish the matter. The real editing work is still subject to the director...

Of course, he has done so much for "Hell Apartment 3", and his pay should be higher.

In the past, I had no reputation and could only accept low pay, and more importantly, I was trying to get a chance to film. But now, I have a relatively successful work with me, so I should have the right to ask for a pay, right?

As for the contract... Didn't I expect that the box office of this film would be so good at that time? It's already 450 million yuan, and it seems that when the screening is over, it will rise by 50 million yuan and reach 500 million yuan. What's more, if he didn't sign the renewal clause at that time, Weidu Entertainment wouldn't have asked him to be a director at all.

The signing was a bit of a last resort, but now that it has been successful, Weidu Entertainment wants him to continue to serve as the director of the third part, even if he has a contract extension, he should have the capital to negotiate a new one.

Since "Hell Apartment 2" was considered a success, he has also received praise from many parties. While he was a little arrogant, he was increasingly dissatisfied with the contract renewal clause signed at that time.

Today, he came to Fan Zhe to say these words rashly. On the one hand, of course, it was caused by alcohol, but more importantly, it was naturally that he had such an idea.

So, he was very unhappy when he heard Fan Zhe say something about "according to the contract".

"We can talk about the contract and other things. My contribution to this movie is not something I hoped to be reflected in the price of 400,000 yuan. If I were to shoot the third part, I would never agree to the increase in the pay of only 60% of the movie."

Speaking of this, his voice became louder and louder. His face turned red and his neck thicker, and it also seemed inappropriate, which attracted others to look here frequently, especially after hearing what he was saying clearly, the audience was even more attracted.

As a director, he was originally one of the main characters of this banquet, and the big boss of Van Zhe can be regarded as the host of the banquet. The two of them had a dispute and would naturally attract everyone's attention.

Ji Jiaxin himself was a little unaware of it, and was still talking loudly about how much he made to "Hell Apartment 2". It was impossible for him to succeed in the third part without him, such as Dimension Entertainment.

The people next to them tried to keep a smile on their faces at the beginning, but when they heard these words getting more and more excessive, they all felt that something was wrong and rushed up to persuade them.

During this process, Fan Zhe never spoke. He didn't want to make the scene too ugly, but he couldn't resist the drunk Ji Jiaxin's tossing.

When Fan Zhe was upset, he finally couldn't bear the anger in his heart.

"Train him out for me!"

This cocktail party was held by Weidu Entertainment. Fan Zhe is the host here. Most of the participants were employees of the Weidu Entertainment Film Department, and the other part was a crew member. Will these people stand on Fan Zhe's side or Ji Jiaxin's side at the cocktail party? This is basically something that you don't need to think about.

Even the security guards on the scene were all listened to Fan Zhe.

Ji Jiaxin was carried out and carried out. He was swearing hard, and the scene became even more ugly.

After being thrown outside, Ji Jiaxin staggered and wanted to get up and rush in, but was stopped.

This time, it was not Fan Zhe's man, but his own agent.

"Are you crazy?" the agent said in shock and angrily, "How dare you do such a thing in such an occasion? You don't want to be in trouble anymore, I still want to hold Weidu Entertainment's thighs!"

Ji Jiaxin shouted randomly, but couldn't hear a complete sentence clearly. After shouting a few words, he suddenly vomited out, and a large amount of filthy things were vomited on his agent.

"I was really blind. I thought you could be successful at the beginning!"
