Chapter 240 Wanbang Dilemma

Dou Yuanli was born in a peasant family and was in very difficult conditions. His father died early, and there was only one widow in the countryside. The reason why he chose to be an actor is that he is naturally unwilling to be mediocre and wants to stand out and become famous.

I don't know how many times these words have been said by the two people when they were poor and frustrated. Therefore, Zhong Zhicheng didn't believe that Dou Yuanli would not be moved at all.

"Yuan Li, even if you don't agree, it's okay to meet him. This boss is very sincere and waits outside the set!" Zhong Zhicheng persuaded him painstakingly.

Dou Yuanli was still a little reluctant, but Zhong Zhicheng took his arm and walked out of the set. A Rolls-Royce car door opened, and a very elegant young man came out of it. He stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Dai Anmin, the boss of Sacred Heart Film and Television Company!" Naturally, Dou Yuanli could not be rude and quickly stretched out his hand to say hello.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's change to another place!" Dai Anmin proposed that Dou Yuanli would naturally have no objection.

He has been in the industry for many years and knows the sinisterness in it. It is not without that he deliberately failed when he drugged the popular singer and hanged Weiya. So unless your backer is extremely tough, you must not offend easily, especially a big boss with extraordinary energy like Dai Anmin.

After getting on the bus, he drove straight to the Jinjiang Hotel and entered the booked private room. After the three guests sat down, Dai Anmin said, "Yuan Li, the movie you starred in is now popular all over the country. Your acting skills have been unanimously recognized, which is really congratifying!"

Mr. Dai praised it, mainly because Mr. Zhang Duo's script is well written and the director's level is high!" Dou Yuanli said politely.

"Zhang Duo's script is naturally good, but without outstanding acting skills, no effect can be performed. It's just that Yuanli has become famous now. You must have made a lot of films. How can you shoot fashion emotional scenes in such a small crew? Dai Anmin pretended to be puzzled.

Duo Yuanli smiled indifferently and said, "I don't want to be fixed in the hearts of the audience, so I want to try more other types of characters."

Zhong Zhicheng sneered and said, "Those books of the hegemony of the Republic of China are mostly rough follow-up dramas. If they are taken over, I'm afraid the image will be ruined, and there are few good scripts!"

Dou Yuanli twitched the corners of his mouth and barely made a smile. He knew that what Zhong Zhicheng said was true, and a good script was rare. He may have encountered such a "Shang Beach" in his life! It's almost impossible to meet such a good book again.

"Yuanli, with all due respect, you won't have any chance in Wanbang Film and Television. Zhang Duo's script is good, but his works are only a few. There are so many people waiting for the characters, such as Ji Liancheng, Gao Zhonghua and Shi Tianyou, who don't have a good film now. As for you, a newcomer, how long do you think you will have to wait? Yes, you can receive videos from other companies, but what they like is only your current popularity and really play a good role. No company will leave you such an outsider!" Dai Anmin analyzed.

Du Yuanli listened, picked up the cigarette box on the table, pulled out a cigarette box, took a breath of light, and then said slowly, "But Director Zhang is grateful to me. I can't be sorry for him."

"He made you, but you also rewarded him. He now has to earn at least 30 million yuan for a Shanghai Beach. After replaying and releasing the video, he made more, but how much is it in your hand?" Dai Anmin asked with a smile.

Dou Yuanli said with a wry smile, "At the beginning, I said that Director Zhang asked me to play the leading role, and I would do it with zero remuneration!"

Dai Anmin laughed and said, "Yuan Li, I didn't expect you to have such a pure heart!"

Zhong Zhicheng said jealously, "Under Director Zhang's reputation, which little actor doesn't want to cooperate with him? If he is willing to let me play the leading role, I would also be willing to play the role with zero pay!"

"Director Zhang paid me. Although it was not in line with my current value, it was already very high at that time!" Dou Yuanli felt that it was necessary to clarify the remuneration. It would be bad if he was misunderstood.

Dai Anmin twitched the corners of his mouth and sneered and said, "Zhang Duo has joined Wanbang Film and Television for nearly two years. Ji Liancheng has played good roles as Qiao Feng and Brother Ma, Gao Zhonghua plays Guo Jing, and Shi Tianyou plays Li Xunhuan. In addition, they are all some less outstanding characters. As for Li Shaoquan, who became famous with "Bright Sword", he has now begun to take on the opposite corner outside. Yuan Li, in the entertainment industry, there are always new people replacing old people. You have to think about your future!"

Dou Yuanli listened and struggled a little. He thanked Zhang Duo for his cultivation, but compared with his personal future, everyone should consider it carefully.

One of the reasons why Xing Ye betrayed his relatives in his previous life is that his company's works are too few. He is a big star, a big director, and a big boss. He has become famous. He can spend several years making a good film, but others still have to stand out and support their families. Naturally, they can't afford to accompany him.

In Shaolin Football, there is a white-collar girl who stepped on banana peel. When she first signed in to Xingye Company, everyone congratulated her and thought she would be the next star girl. Unexpectedly, the girl stayed in Xingye's company for eight years and only participated in two films, becoming the darkest "star girl". After the contract expired, her contract was terminated.

Naturally, Zhang Duo can't be compared with the star in his previous life, but the reason has something in common. For Dou Yuanli, his dilemma is that with more and more stars created by Zhang Duo and his works, he will inevitably face the rare situation of more monks and fewer porridge and good roles.

In terms of cost, Wanbang Film and Television also prefers to use newcomers when shooting TV series. For example, although the "The Return of the Condor Heroes" that has been broadcast and "The Dragon Slayer" which is still in production have not had the same sensational effects as "The Eight Dragons" and "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", they have also successfully launched a number of new people.

Seeing that Dou Yuanli was already moved, Dai Anmin said while the iron was hot: "Yuanli, the current development of Wanbang Film and Television has reached a bottleneck, that is, the contradiction between their super star-making ability and ultra-low number of plays. Their company has not formed an excellent editorial team so far, all pointing to Zhang Duo's novels. Although each one is wonderful, how many scenes can be filmed? Now most of Wanbang's popular stars are filming for other companies, which has become a big strange talk in the circle. Do you think it's funny?

Dou Yuanli smiled awkwardly and didn't say anything. He struggled on the set for so long. How could he not know the difference between filming for himself and filming for outsiders?

"Yuan Li, if you come to our company, you are the first brother of the actors of our film and television company. All filming plans will put you first and try to tailor them for you. As you know, no matter how big a star is, he can't play a bad role!"

"Mr. Dai, I appreciate your kindness, but my liquidated damages are too expensive for me!"

"How much liquidated damages do you have to pay?" Dai Anmin asked tentatively, and he suddenly had a very bad feeling. With Song Siwei's shrewdness, he was afraid that all the loopholes in the contract would be blocked.

"100 million!" When Dou Yuanli said this, he didn't know whether he should be proud or laugh at himself. 100 million, he, a poor boy from a farm, is actually worth 100 million.

Isn't it a joke that Dai Anmin's face suddenly turned white and took 100 million yuan to dig people? Even if Zhang Duo, who can write, write, direct or act, offer 100 million yuan, he still needs to consider it. As for Dou Yuanli, it's really not worth the price.

"Yuanli, how many years have you signed such a contract?" Dai Anmin still doesn't give up.

"Eight years!" Dou Yuanli seemed to understand in an instant that Zhang Duo was not only a big director, but also a calculating film and television tycoon. Eight years, for a young actor, this may be his most precious time!

"Eight years, Yuanli, how can you sign such a deed of sale?" Zhong Zhicheng asked incredulously.

Du Yuanli twitched the corners of his mouth and said with a sarcastic smile, "If he handed you such a contract, will you sign it?"

"I, I will definitely sign it! No matter how bad it is, it's better than running tricks!" But I think that some people sell their souls to the devil in order to become famous, let alone sign a deed of sale!

"So, Mr. Dai, thank you for your interest in me. I really can only say sorry!"

"Well, I'm the one who should be sorry." Dai Anmin said with great disappointment.

In Zhenbeibao Film and Television City, Zhang Duo received a phone call from Song Siwei, saying that he would fly over in the afternoon and have something important to discuss.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Duo was also a little worried. Song Siwei would never leave Bincheng if it was not a big deal. Now he has come here without any warning. It must have been something that he can't decide.

Because Jin Yutang is in Xixia City, after Song Siwei came over, the three of them found a conference room to hold the shareholders' meeting of Wanbang Film and Television Production Company.

After the three sat down, Song Siwei first took out two materials and handed them to them, "Look, this is the contact record of other company bosses and our company's popular artists this month. Ji Liancheng, Gao Zhonghua, everyone has been there more than ten times, that is, Dou Yuanli, who has just become popular, and Dai Anmin has also looked for it.

Jin Yutang raised his eyebrows and said, "I'm not afraid that there are no good things, but I'm afraid that there are no good people!" There are always so many people who want to dig our corner, which is not the way!"

Zhang Duo also frowned and said, "It can't go on like this. Sooner or later, it will make people's hearts fluctuate. If this person's heart is separated, it will be difficult to lead the team!"

Song Siwei sneered, "But they can't dig this person, unless someone is willing to pay 100 million in liquidated damages. If someone is really willing to pay, we don't have to make a film. Selling artists is enough for us to make a fortune."

Jin Yutang and Zhang Duo were shocked when they heard that the contract was in charge of the company's administration. To be precise, Song Siwei was in charge of it again. They really didn't know much about it. 100 million per person, doesn't that mean that contracts for selling popular artists can sell more than 1 billion. Unfortunately, no one is willing to buy it, otherwise it can really be sold!
