Chapter 135 Competitive remuneration

The Spring Festival is too short for busy people. Wang Zuxian is about to start work on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and he honestly lives in her car. On the contrary, Li Jiaxin has free time and has been staying at home with Chen Jin. It's just that on the fourth day of the lunar new year, the beginning of the New Year's entertainment and various activities begin. Few people can stay at home unless you are not popular!

Chen Jin is not unperable, but Chen Zichen has pushed off a lot of unnecessary activities for him a few years ago. It's relatively easy. He still has time to visit the homes of a few acquaintances and get in touch with him.

On the morning of the fifth day of the lunar new year, Brother Qiang called and made an appointment to meet in his company's office at nine o'clock. When Chen Jin rushed there, Wang Zuxian and Li Jiaxin happened to be there.

There is also director Liu Guochang in Brother Qiang's office. Chen Jin is not familiar with him, and he has never heard of this name before, but this is not a problem. People are familiar with each other. What's more, Yongsheng is really in charge of the family.

He didn't talk too much. After the introduction, he began to go to the workshop next to audition. Liu Guochang knew very well that Chen Jin was a rookie, but Brother Qiang had already told him that as long as he could make do with it, he could use it. He was also a little confused about why Brother Qiang supported Chen Jin, but he didn't say much.

The biggest difference between shooting TV series and movies for actors is that when shooting TV series, the camera is basically looking for you. You just need to act with the actor who plays the opposite role, but the movie is different. You must find the camera. Your expressions and lines are basically expressed in front of the camera.

For example, shoot a clip of you telling a woman that I love you. When shooting a TV series, you look at this woman affectionately, and then say I love you to her. But when you make a movie, you are looking at the camera. You must show your affectionate appearance to the camera, not the woman, and then say to the camera. I love you.

It's a very simple difference, but many actors who make good TV series can't do it when they make movies, or even worse - there is too much difference in the feeling of showing his elegant demeanor and language to a living object and a cold machine. Let's be shameless, and you have a living energy. The feeling of a beautiful woman is absolutely different from that of a model. The feelings you put in are completely different, and the degree of investment is much worse.

Chen Jin is very clear about these things. Although he has not yet changed his mood and expression at will, he can quickly grasp the emotions he needs at present. Speaking of which, it is also a credit for Brother Qi to constantly adjust his emotions when recording for him.

At first, Liu Guochang was very doubtful and worried, but after he ordered a few simple requirements for Chen Jin to do it very easily, he breathed a sigh of relief. At least, he is now barely qualified.

Of course, this is not finished yet. Since he wants to shoot, he needs to understand it more thoroughly. Therefore, he began to let Chen Jin make more details of the performance according to the plot, such as the kind of green integrity at the beginning, affectionate style, the fierceness when I show off the ferocious, the lazy jump when relegated, etc.

After trying one by one, Liu Guochang had nothing to say, especially after Chen Jin waxing his hair at this age, he immediately had the kind of grace of a 40- or 50-year-old man, not like a 21-year-old young man at all.

To be honest, he thinks that Chen Jin is really a genius. That kind of excellent sense of lens, that kind of ability to change scenes freely, that kind of super acting ability, etc. are all like a veteran of filming for many years. He even thinks that this play will be more brilliant because of Chen Jin's joining. Cai will also be an important first step in Chen Jin's glorious future.

After working for half an hour, Liu Jiachang asked the staff to remove Chen Jin's makeup while shaking hands politely with him and said with a smile, "KING is less, it's not bad. It's no worse than those movie emperors." This is naturally a compliment, but the performance is not bad. Li Jiaxin and Wang Zuxian, who have been watching next to them, are all brilliant and very surprised.

After a few greetings, he walked to Brother Qiang, who looked at him on the other side, with a smile on his face, "Brother Qiang, your eyes are really speechless. Although it is the first time for Mr. KING to act, his strength is amazing."

Brother Qiang has been watching all the time. He is also acting. Naturally, he can see whether it is good or bad. To be honest, Chen Jin just made his hair white and the momentum of sitting there with a cigar in his mouth has shocked him. At that moment, it was completely a hero's style, just like he should have been.

"KING, you are really surprising and surprising!" When Chen Jin came up, Brother Qiang patted his arm and seemed to say casually, "You haven't acted before, have you? I think you are quite familiar with it!"

"Brother Qiang should have praised me for saying so!" Chen Jin laughed and said, "I like to think about it when I have nothing to do. I've been with Brother Fa for a long time, and I've heard a lot of them, and I've seen a lot of opportunities to go to the set. If I don't learn anything about it, I'll be humiliated soon."

Brother Qiang also knew what Chen Jin was hiding. He refused to say it, so he didn't force it. The two of them are now very close and smiled, "Well, this matter is settled. Welcome to join us."

Chen Jin also thanked him politely. Brother Qiang looked at Li Jiaxin and Wang Zuxian auditioning, and casually asked, "KING, do you want to talk about the contract after Miss Chen comes back?"

According to the rules, the contract is generally negotiated between the agent and the artist, and with Chen Zichen's background and the relationship with Chen Jin, Chen Zichen is completely in charge. However, a few days ago, he saw Chen Jin openly bring Li Jiaxin and Wang Zuxian back home. That situation is too strange.

"It doesn't matter. Anyone can make the decision!" Chen Jin said lightly, which made Brother Qiang even more unpredictable, but then Chen Jin said something that surprised Brother Qiang, "Brother Qiang, I have a good idea. I don't know what you think. That is, we don't need to calculate the fixed amount of money, but use another method, such as The proportion of box office revenue or the proportion of the producer's profit is to pay dividends.

Brother Qiang reacted with a little stunned. This is also the strangeness of Chen Jin that he has seen too much. He always has all kinds of ideas and opinions.

The difference between box office revenue and producer revenue is to remove 33% of the distribution fee of the publisher, which is higher than 50% of the record publisher, but this is also a long-established rule in the film industry.

After thinking about it, he took Chen Jin to say hello to Liu Guochang and others and walked to the office, "Come on, let's have a good chat, and you can also tell me your thoughts carefully."

In fact, there are also competitive film remuneration, such as direct shareholding with film remuneration, but that is the treatment that only super big names can enjoy. Of course, there are also good scripts that want to borrow the popularity of a big star, but the producer does not have much money, so they also use this method to invite some big names.

As for the proportion of box office revenue or producer revenue, this is naturally more than the share, but it is also a competitive film remuneration method.

In some ways, if the box office of a movie is too poor, only about 50 million, but his previous estimate is 200 to 300 million, and the investment is 80 million, of which two superstars with a fixed value of 10 million are two, then if you use a competitive share of the film salary, it will be slightly higher than the estimated ratio. In 6%, the two people won only more than 4 million yuan. In this way, the loss of the film company immediately lost more than 10 million yuan.

However, if the box office is 300 million or more, even if it is only 200 million, these two superstars can benefit two million more, which is very tempting. The place of confusion.

Chen Jin didn't hide it from Brother Qiang. He told him everything he could say, and then said, "This is only one aspect. There are other ways, such as floating sharing. If the box office is 10 million, it will be divided into 5%. If it is 20 million, it will be 6% or 70%, but if it is only 8 million, then I can only get 4%. Wait, wait, these are the same as doing business. If you are sure, you will naturally give him fixed money, but if you are not sure, giving points to others is also a way to share your own pressure.

These methods are not common in the later film and television circle, but there are many. Chen Jin himself is not a big shot, but he listens a lot. At this time, it is naturally very easy to say, but Brother Qiang gave a thumbs up, "Okay, King, you really know everything. No wonder people outside say that you are smart, as if you were born to know it. Generally speaking, I really admire you more and more.

Chen Jin didn't have to be polite and smiled, "It seems that Brother Qiang agrees. Why don't we try something new?"

Brother Qiang was even more cheerful and nodded with a smile, "Okay, since it's your idea, you can talk about your opinions and ideas first!" Originally, it was to let Chen Jin play this film to save people's feelings. Since Chen Jin's acting skills were completely fine, the previous arrangement was a little inferior. He thought that it was okay to compensate Chen Jin for the film's salary. What's more, this is really a good new thing.

Chen Jin was not in a hurry to say, but asked, "That's okay, but let me ask first, what is Brother Qiang's expected box office for this film?"

It is probably expected that everyone has it, and Brother Qiang is no exception, but his film is a little different, just like the first and second two episodes, which need to be released. According to the current situation, there are too few films over 30 million, and for two episodes, unless the next episode is very good, the general cognition will be a little worse. He smiled and said, "This film is not bad. We have also discussed it. The words of the two episodes are about between five million and fifty million."

Chen Jin did not mean to question. He smiled and said, "Well, let's calculate it according to the goal of 50 million. 50 million is calculated at 6%, and I only need 5% below 50 million, but if it reaches 60 million, then add a point, so it is calculated according to 10 million. How about adding a percentage point until ten percent?
