Chapter 646: The Surprise of the Actor

While the three were talking and laughing, they came to the parking lot and got into the car.

Ye Yongren said as he drove, "Yunhai, you paid us a little too much."

Huang Qiusheng nodded and said, "That's right."

Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said with a smile, "I've never used my relationship with each other to lower everyone's pay in film and television dramas. Doing so would make me feel very uncomfortable. Friendship is friendship, what should I do? Besides, I'm not short of money, and I believe that the profit for me from this movie will definitely exceed your salary. Hello, me, everyone, isn't this the best?"

Ye Yongren sighed: "It's no wonder that the actors in the entire entertainment industry want to work with you the most. However, such a good film is released all over the world, and the filming time is so short, so Lao Liang and Lao Huang and I feel that this money , we are too hot to hold, you can just give us 50%."

For example, Ye Yongren's external salary quotation is 60 million for the leading role and 40 million for the supporting role. However, the theory is the theory, in fact it can not achieve so much.

From ancient times to the present, Huaxia has been a society of human relationships. A heavenly king like Ye Yongren, if he is a big director or a familiar investor, will usually be able to play a leading role due to the good relationship between them. Get forty million.

Even for those unfamiliar directors and investors, Ye Yongren's salary is at most 50 million yuan. Of course, this is also related to the length of time and the intensity of work. However, it is basically impossible to get full pay.

The same is true for Huang Qiusheng. His worth is lower than Ye Yongren, with 50 million for the protagonist and 30 million for the supporting role.

However, Xiao Yunhai gave them full remuneration directly according to their market price. This was the first time they had encountered them.

You must know that "Infernal Affairs" will be a film released around the world. For artists, this opportunity can be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

With the excellence of this film and Xiao Yunhai's fame,

Even if their salary is squeezed to 10 million, they will definitely act.

But even so, Xiao Yunhai still did not reduce their salary by a single penny, which made everyone feel a little uneasy, so they discussed it and took the initiative to reduce the salary to 50%.

Hearing Ye Yongren's words, Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Mr. Ye, Mr. Huang, you guys are too interesting. How can an actor ask for a reduction in their salary, this is the first time I've heard of it."

Huang Qiusheng said: "That's the first time I've heard that investors and directors will give actors 100% of their remuneration. Yunhai, at our point, the most important thing is not money, but excellent works. Our pursuit of fame , has far exceeded the profit. For a classic movie that may be famous in the world's film history, let alone give us money, even if it is zero pay or even repaid to the crew, we are willing to act. It's a pity that we Huaxia, There are too few films like this.”

Ye Yongren nodded and said: "Yes. I am very worried about our Huaxia film and television industry now. You see, in just three weeks, the space for domestic films has been squeezed by others. If you make several excellent films and carry the banner of domestic films, I am afraid our Huaxia entertainment industry will really be doomed. Yunhai, this film of yours is likely to be the first shot of Huaxia Films against foreign films, so we must Get it shot."

Xiao Yunhai said confidently: "It's definitely not a problem. Since the three teachers want to save me money, I will accept it shamelessly. After our "Infernal Affairs" is popular all over the world, I will hold a large-scale celebration. Banquet, and then give everyone a huge red envelope."

Huang Qiusheng laughed and said, "Then I will wait for that day."

Xiao Yunhai said: "Mr. Huang won't wait too long, I think it's almost the end of the new year."

Ye Yongren smiled and said: "That's the best. Yunhai, I heard that there are rumors in the circle now that the reason why your movie can be released in major theaters in North America is because you are a shareholder of these theaters. This will not be true. right?"

A while ago, Xiao Yunhai used the shares of the four major theater chains in Magic and North America as collateral, and loaned hundreds of billions of dollars from the bank, which has spread throughout the entertainment industry.

Artists usually meet to discuss this topic, and they basically think this is too bizarre. After all, Xiao Yunhai has only debuted for more than two years, so it is impossible for him to be so powerful.

But Ye Yongren suddenly had some guesses in his heart after seeing Xiao Yunhai's understatement that "Infernal Affairs" would be released globally, so he asked.

Huang Qiusheng also looked at Xiao Yunhai with bright eyes.

If this is true, it will undoubtedly be the best news for the entire Chinese film industry.

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "That's right. I'm a minority shareholder of the five major cinema chains, Paramount, MGM, Warner, Disney, and Universal. I usually don't care, but it's okay to show a few movies."

Huang Qiusheng asked with a look of surprise: "How did you do it?"

Xiao Yunhai didn't hide it either, and briefly explained his purchase of these theaters.

Ye Yongren sighed sincerely: "Yunhai, you are really amazing."

Xiao Yunhai said with a smile: "Two teachers, please don't spread this out, otherwise, I'll be in big trouble."

Huang Qiusheng said: "I'm afraid this matter won't be hidden for long."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said: "As long as I can hide it, at least I can clean it up for a few more days. What's more, I'm only a minority shareholder, and I have so little say in the board of directors. If the imported film does not get good results, then I'm in trouble."

Ye Yongren nodded and said: "So, when you introduce the film, you have to close it."

Xiao Yunhai said: "That's right."

Half an hour later, the car drove into a nice restaurant, Xiao Yunhai had a big meal, and then he stayed at the hotel that the crew had booked.

The next day, under the guidance of assistant director Mo Taicheng, Xiao Yunhai went around the various studios and was very satisfied with everyone's work.

In order to improve the shooting efficiency, Xiao Yunhai told Mo Taicheng before that all the filming locations used were packaged in advance, so that the crew's drama affairs, props and other departments could prepare.

To this end, Xiao Yunhai did not hesitate to spend millions in rental fees.

However, when he saw that the scene was almost set up, Xiao Yunhai felt that the money was well worth it.

Xiao Yunhai said, "Director Mo, you've been working really hard these days. Go and tell everyone that as long as the filming locations are set up before five o'clock tomorrow afternoon, everyone's salaries will be doubled."

Mo Taicheng said happily: "This time, they have no choice but to die."

Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "As long as we don't delay the filming of our film, I will definitely not treat everyone badly. After all, it's not easy for everyone to come out to work."
