It is agreed that the 18th line will be top-notch?

Let her come!

These words were spoken with great pride, but Guo Rang himself also knew that when he said these words, the pressure on the entire crew became even greater.

Feng Luo is not just a cat or a dog. Even if it is a friendship price, the salary cannot be low.

If you find a third-tier star to play this important supporting role, the salary you need to pay may only be a few hundred thousand or even hundreds of thousands.

But if you switch to A-list stars, especially the A-list stars who are currently in the limelight, it is not impossible to increase this number by 100 times.

Can Feng Luo's acting skills and popularity bring so much profit to this movie?

Judging from the fact that she has been making bad movies recently, but fewer and fewer viewers are buying into them, it can be seen that the possibility of the answer being "no" is not low.

The screenwriter hesitated: "Are you sure? The salary Feng Luo wants will definitely not be low, right?"

"I think we can really give it a try." Guo Rang obviously thought carefully, "Feng Luo's current character is different from before, and it really fits the overall tone of this movie."

The screenwriter didn't dare to make a judgment on this kind of thing, so he could only nod lightly: "Since you have made this decision, I will definitely support it fully... But as for the salary, it is best for us to talk about it."

A-list star-level remuneration, the amount of money you can get from just two cuts is astronomical.

Fortunately, the lead actor Zhang Wei is not a famous actor himself, and the other characters who have the highest status are second-tier actors.

With only Feng Luo, Guo Rang felt that the crew could still support the salary.

"Let's talk somewhere. For such a big matter, we have to communicate face to face." Guo Rang, who had never done such a thing before, looked very serious, "Where is Feng Luo now? When will he have time?"

"Just add your work WeChat account and ask, I'm just about to arrive." The screenwriter lowered his head and pushed Feng Luo's work WeChat account to Guo Rang, "Bargaining is a technical job, so you must be careful."

"Don't worry!" Guo Rang is quite confident about this.

Through the company's channels, he has basically understood that for an actor like Feng Luo to play a supporting role in a movie like this, the maximum salary can be 3000 million.

Guo Rang's initial plan is to cut it to 1500 million first, and then gradually increase it. As long as the final price does not exceed 2000 million, it will be considered a success.

Soon Feng Luo also approved the friend application.

Feng Luo also sent a message directly to the point: "Hello, producer Guo Rang, I am Feng Luo. Do you have any casting options that are more suitable for me?"

At this stage, the script of the movie is definitely not available to Feng Luo.

But no matter what, it is impossible for a movie to be without an important supporting actress.

Guo Rang picked up the phone and replied: "Hello, Mr. Feng Luo, the crew also has an accountant character who supervises the protagonist's spending. We haven't found a suitable actor yet. It should be more suitable for you."

It doesn't actually matter whether the other party is really Feng Luo or Feng Luo's agent.

As long as it's someone who can determine the pay, that's fine.

Feng Luo quickly sent a message: "Accountant? Are there many scenes and scenes?"

When it comes to matters that are directly related to interests, you have to ask. Feng Luo will never be coy about this.

They are all professionals, so just talk about business.

If we wait to discuss related matters until the script is released or even after filming has started, it will easily cause all kinds of unnecessary disputes.

Guo Rang replied quickly: "Don't worry, there are a lot of scenes and scenes. If it weren't for the restrictions of the plot and theme, it would actually be comparable to a heroine."

Feng Luo's typing speed was also not slow: "Okay... is it convenient to discuss the remuneration now? If it's settled, can you send the script over for a look?"

Here comes the discussion about remuneration!

As long as the pay is lower, there will be less pressure on the box office.

With his heart beating wildly, Guo Rang typed word by word in the chat box: "Our crew can offer up to 1500 million yuan in salary. Can you accept it?"

As soon as he clicked send and the message showed that it was still being transmitted, Feng Luo actually received the message first.

Feng Luo: "I know your crew faces more challenges, but no matter what, you have to guarantee me a salary of at least 800 million. I believe I can still bring so much value to the movie. Can you accept it?"

In fact, Feng Luo, as a veteran who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, has a clear understanding of his own value.

If faced with a weaker producer, it is not impossible for her to ask for a salary of 3000 million yuan.

Even for a very popular role and a very luxurious shooting team, it is not difficult to earn an eight-figure salary.

But... this time Feng Luo had his own ideas.

The funds for a movie are always limited, let alone this movie of Kuaiguang Group, which is used for resource exchange.

Feng Luo believes that with the capabilities of Kuai Guang Group, even if the quality of "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" is not as good as "Black Robe Inspection Team" and "Wandering Blue Star", at least it will not be a bad film.

A "masterpiece" with a box office of over RMB 7.8 billion is definitely a sure thing.

But all this is based on "no surprises". If the salary you want is too high, it means that the crew must cut other expenses within the limited funds.

The costs of other actors and staff will be reduced, the procurement of props and special effects will be more stretched, the quality of the film will inevitably decline... and the risk of film failure will also increase.

Feng Luo is very clear about his current needs - no matter what, he must make a movie of decent quality as soon as possible to firmly lock in the traffic that has finally come to him again.

But it’s not that easy to find a movie with decent quality and the attribute of “as soon as possible”.

It's like someone wants to make a bad movie.

Even if you are the director of a big bad movie, your original intention is not to make a bad movie, but the final product is a bit unsatisfactory.

Currently, the only movie that has quality assurance and has started shooting in the near future, and has a good relationship with Feng Luo, is "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" produced by Kuai Guang Group.

Although Feng Luo failed to win the first place in the variety show and the starring position, there was no rule that stipulated that she could not join the crew as an ordinary actor afterwards.

As for the issues of remuneration and casting, Feng Luo no longer insists on it.

As long as the scenes and plots are up to standard, and as long as the pay is not so low as to be insulting, she can accept it.

Instead of getting a salary from this movie, it is better to give up some of the salary to improve the quality of the movie and rely on this movie to stabilize the reputation that was finally won back.

It's better for her character to collapse from an elegant goddess to a powerful woman, than to be gradually forgotten.

Believing that he offered such a sincere offer, the crew of "The Richest Man in Jinhai City" had no reason to refuse.

At the same time, on the screen of Feng Luo's mobile phone, the other party suddenly sent a message: "Our crew can offer 1500 million in salary. Can you accept it?"

Unlike what Guo Rang guessed, Feng Luo was actually talking on his phone this time.

Whether her career can take off again depends largely on her performance in recent times.

For such an important matter, it is more secure to handle it personally.

So both parties were stunned for a moment when they saw the other party's offer.

This is like a customer asking for 100 yuan to buy something, but the boss only charges 50 yuan. There is an inexplicable embarrassment. "Teacher Feng Luo, isn't this a little too low?"

Guo Rang looked at the figure of 800 million and felt a little unsure - with Feng Luo's status and the strength of Kuaiguang Group, there was no way it would reach this price.

Feng Luo looked at the other party's fairly sincere offer and replied: "That's enough, that's enough. That's enough."

It is completely unexpected that Kuaiguang Group, a super powerful entertainment company with rapid take-off, abundant resources, and even Yuefu Group, would have such an attitude.

I think back then, when Kuaiguang Group was still very weak, Feng Luo had sent an email inviting cooperation.

Being rejected at that time was called decisiveness.

It is enough to show that the Kuaiguang Group is not that rare to her.

She values ​​film quality more than remuneration.

The budget of the program team of "The Richest Man in Jinhae City" is definitely not as sufficient as that of the previous two movies, and I must not make it worse for the crew at such a critical moment.

Guo Rang was a little unbelievable: "Is it really enough? Don't worry, Mr. Feng Luo, our crew's budget is still relatively sufficient, so you don't have to suffer from the salary."

The crew's funds are not as abundant as usual, and Yang Ruoqian just made it clear that if there is a salary issue, he can add another budget.

Under such circumstances, is it somewhat unjustifiable to give Feng Luo such a small amount of money?

However, Feng Luo's attitude was very firm: "No, more budget can be invested in the movie, more details and plots can be polished, and the pictures and special effects can be better...Rather than the salary, I want to see this movie get more success."

Guo Rang, who had never seen such a situation before, was a little dumbfounded.

The two people who can give him the answer now are Qi Mu, but she unfortunately lost in the competition for a vacation spot and is now forced to rest at home. It is impossible to contact her during the entire seven-day holiday.

The second one is Yang Ruoqian.

But Mr. Yang had just told him that if there were any matters, the crew would make their own decisions... Only a few minutes had passed now?

Interrupting Mr. Yang's vacation when he has already made it clear is tantamount to telling his boss that he is not capable enough and does he still want to work in the company?

After struggling for a long time, Guo Rang came up with a compromise plan: "Teacher Feng Luo, let's do this, just 10 million. This number looks better, how about it?"

Feng Luo hesitated: "Is it really okay?"

After haggling in reverse for a while, the two finally reached a consensus: "It's really no problem, don't worry."

Feng Luo would not refuse to take a little more money, and he was in a very happy mood: "Okay, happy cooperation?"

Guo Rang, who received the unexpected surprise, was also in a good mood: "Happy cooperation!"

Judging from Feng Luo's words and actions, she is quite optimistic about the subject matter of this movie, and she is also willing to devote herself wholeheartedly to this movie.

This undoubtedly gave Guo Rang another shot in the arm.

Feng Luo sent another message: "Find a place to sign the contract. I also need some time to familiarize myself with the script."

"Okay, I have time today, what about you?"

"I'm drinking coffee downstairs in your company right now. I'll be up right away, about ten minutes."

After successfully discussing cooperation, Guo Rang showed a rare satisfied smile on his face.

Feng Luo is indeed very cheerful, which fits her personality.

The screenwriter on the side saw this expression of his own producer and knew that the matter was probably half done, so he smiled and said: "It looks like the deal is done...Has Feng Luo agreed to our offer?"

"I won it for 10 million." Guo Rang was still a little unbelievable, "I feel like Feng Luo wanted this role very much."

"Tsk, tsk, isn't it a win-win cooperation this time?" The screenwriter laughed, "The crew saved money, and Feng Luo got the role she wanted... There was no game, no loser."

"Why do we have to distinguish a winner and a loser?" Guo Rang smiled, "As long as the quality of the movie is good, everyone is a winner... We can make money, the actors can become famous, and the audience can enjoy it."

"Indeed!"

……

While the crew of the new film is busy planning the filming, other employees on leave within the group are also working happily.

Although there are many fewer employees at work, the work arranged by Yang Ruoqian is basically just to maintain the normal operation of the company, and the workload is smaller than usual.

Of course, the usual workload is not that big.

"Well, saying it's work is basically like having a holiday in the company." An employee was really bored after handling the things at hand, so he chatted with his colleagues around him, "Fortunately, the company was not so busy at that time. Difficult to enter…”

"Haha, when I entered the company, my family invited all my relatives to dinner."

"We say we work overtime, but there is no leader to care about us."

"Is there a possibility that the first leader doesn't care about us much in the first place; the second leader who wanted to apply for time off has not been successful, and now they are all on vacation at home."

"I never thought that you have to rush to work overtime..."

"This is Kueiguang Group, work hard. What I'm most afraid of now is that one day the company will suddenly disappear. I really don't dare to fish."

Jingle Bell……

Just when the employees took some time to chat, there was a slight phone ringing from the front desk.

Since the vast majority of front desk staff failed to apply for time off, the remaining employees could only be asked to work part-time at the front desk.

The employee who just said not to fish immediately stood up, walked to the front desk and answered the phone.

"Hello... um, yes, this is Kuaiguang Group, who are you?"

"what?!"

"Well... I'm really sorry. We may not be able to make the final decision on this matter. We have to wait for the leader to come back. How about you add us on our work WeChat account first and we will notify you when there is news?"

"Oh, our leaders are on vacation now. It seems that there is no way to contact them at the moment. I'm really sorry."

"It's not tiring. It's easier for us to work than on vacation."

"Okay, okay, you're busy."

After finishing speaking, the employee hung up the phone, added WeChat and returned to his seat.

Colleagues who had nothing to do immediately came over and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

"Uh, it's a staff member from a certain bureau. He said he wanted to ask our company to shoot a promotional video or something." (End of Chapter)
