The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 417 Safe, Absolutely Safe

"Representative of Renda/Conference is about to begin."

"The most popular movie in March is "Crazy Racing". The film has been released for three weeks and has already won [-] million box office."

"Ning Hao: Thank you Director Li for your support. The success of "Crazy Racing" cannot be separated from Director Li."

"Huang Bo: Director Li is my noble man, he encouraged me when I was still a secondary player."

"Li Shengyao, Cheng Long will return to China to attend the Renda representative/conference."

"Director Li has a new proposal to guide the entertainment industry to become more formal and allocate resources more rationally."

"Brother Hu completed the shooting in Istanbul. He said he has benefited a lot and will work harder in the future."

"Cheng Long: Our goal is to surpass the box office of "Taken 1" and create a new series of good-looking movies."

……

At the end of March is the representative/conference of Huaxia Renda, Lee Shengyao and Cheng Long will go back, both of them are representatives of Renda in the entertainment industry.

They returned to Yanjing with Brother Hu.

For this meeting, Li Shengyao did not ask his assistant to help write the proposal.

He found relevant materials by himself, and this time the direction of the proposal was to control the remuneration of the actors within a range of the total cost.

His suggestion is that actors' remuneration should account for up to 40.00% of the total cost.

In Lee Sing Yew's previous life, the remuneration of mainland actors would explode in the next few years, such as "Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace", Zhou Xun's remuneration was 500 million, Huo Jianhua's remuneration was 200 million.

There is also a despicable 8000 million salary.

This is simply a horror story.

In fact, whether it is Weekly News or Huo Jianhua, it can be said that there is no appeal to increase the ratings.

You can't even figure it out, how can they get so much salary?
If it's Sun Li, Xiedong, Zhang Jiayi who can handle dramas, it's understandable for them to get a high salary. Why should others rely on it?

Under such circumstances, the TV drama producers in the mainland, except for a few Shanying companies, all seem to be obsessed, thinking about hiring traffic stars.

And most of the TV series they make are rubbish.

This kind of phenomenon has almost no effect on the behind-the-scenes production of film and television dramas and the improvement of service.

The decade from 2010 to 2020 is an era of crazy traffic harvesting but no contribution.

There's definitely a lot of trickery going on here.

In the end, the higher authorities couldn't stand it anymore, and this proposal would be put forward before Li Shengyao traveled.

Li Shengyao planned to start mentioning it now.

Now the salary is not so scary, he doesn't have to be afraid of offending people.

However, he has no confidence in whether it will be taken seriously and become an issue.

Anyway, if it doesn’t work this year, it’s next year, and if it doesn’t work next year, it’s the year after.

In his previous life, in the production of Korean dramas, actors' remuneration only accounted for about 20.00% of the total investment.

In American dramas, the total investment of actors' remuneration stations shall not exceed 30.00%.

With regard to this proposal, he must insist.

Seeing holding down and despicably taking 8000 million, he was very upset, even if it wasn't his money, he would not be happy.

Not long after, the meeting was held, and Lee Sheng Yew's proposal did not attract much attention, and did not attract discussions among the representatives.

After the conference, Lee Sheng Yew accepted interviews from some reporters, and then he planned to go home, firstly to rest, and secondly to study the upcoming filming of "Taken 23".

He and Cheng Long returned to China this time and arranged a lot of work for the assistant directors in Istanbul, asking them to shoot some insignificant shots in the movie.

This saves shooting time.

However, Li Shengyao wanted to improve the efficiency of shooting, and he would seriously consider this matter as long as he had time.

He thought about it before and thought he couldn't sleep well.

Not now, after getting used to it, he sleeps much better, but as long as he has time, he will delve into it.

Now returning home, he intends to rest for three days, and then return to Istanbul.

As for Cheng Long, he still has some things to do in Hong Kong Island. He needs to stay in China for a week before rushing to Tuji to continue filming.

"Director Li, wait a minute."

Before Li Shengyao could speed up, Han Sanping shouted.

Hearing this, Li Shengyao stopped in his tracks, "Director Han, you're in a good mood."

China Film followed Fenghua to invest in "Crazy Racing", and it also made some money.

Han Sanping was naturally in a good mood, he chuckled, "Director Li, what are you rushing to do?"

"No big deal, just thinking about work."

"Hi! You, you, you are too hardworking. You are so young and you work so hard. You will regret it in the future."

Han Sanping paused and raised her voice a little, "We must get together, you have helped me so much, I treat you, let's go, let's relax."

After thinking for a while, Li Shengyao agreed to Han Sanping's invitation.

Although hard work is required, the necessary contacts still need to be maintained.

"Director Li, I saw the news, saying that you got up before dawn, and then you were busy until the early morning, working fourteen or five hours a day. You really work too hard, just like a sweatshop worker workers."

"You are so successful, don't push yourself so hard."

"I'm an experienced person, I know best, young people must enjoy themselves."

Not long after, Han Sanping led Li Shengyao to China World Trade Center, and called a few senior executives of China Film Group to come over, and a group of people accompanied Li Shengyao to have a good meal.

After drinking and eating, Han Sanping picked up the teacup and poured tea for Director Li himself.

"Director Li, "Crazy Racer" is really good. At first, I thought that the film had little investment and no big stars. That Huang...Huang Bo is ugly, so the box office must not be good."

"I didn't expect the movie to be so interesting and the box office to be so good. I'm really convinced."

Li Shengyao smiled, "It's fine if you can make money."

Han Sanping nodded, "Director Li, you have Cheng Long in your new movie, and you're so serious about it. It's sure to be a success, so don't worry about it."

He then raised his teacup and took a sip of tea, "Director Li, do you have any movies to watch next?"

"Yes, don't worry, Fenghua will definitely cooperate with China Film Group at that time."

Han Sanping was overjoyed when he heard the words, he had drunk a lot of wine just now, his face was red, and now it was even redder, as if he was going to be happy.

He raised his teacup and touched Li Shengyao, "China Film Group is not demanding, just drink some soup with Fenghua. Whatever you want, just ask."

"I don't have any requirements here. When arranging the film, the two of us can work together."

"That's for sure, we must cooperate well."

At this time, other high-level executives of China Film Group came over, and there was a burst of flattery.

Li Shengyao responded with a smile, and waited for the voice of the big guy to be quieter, before he said to Han Sanping: "Ninghao is a talented director, the movie I watch is his next movie."

"When he has a script, I'll take a look and see if I can invest."

In Li Shengyao's previous life, Ning Hao finished filming "Crazy Racing", and then he filmed "No Man's Land".

"No Man's Land" has a higher box office reputation, but the subject matter is a bit sensitive, and it has been suppressed for three years.

If Ninghao still finds Lee Shengyao to invest, he will help him change the script, change the sensitive settings, and strive to release it after the production is completed.

Han Sanping smiled knowingly when she heard the words, "Of course you have to read the script and correct it. Only the script you correct can sell well."

The two chatted for a while, and then Li Shengyao got up to leave.

As soon as he got into his car, his cell phone rang, and it was Ning Hao.

"Director Li, I heard that you have returned to China, have you finished the meeting?"

"It's over, what's the matter?"

"Then I will make arrangements for you. You must feel the enthusiasm of our good friends. Do you have time at night? Shall we pick you up?"

Ninghao has made money, his voice has become more powerful, and he is full of energy.

This guy is not an honest person. Although he is married, gossip reporters have taken many photos of him, Huang Bo, and Xu Zheng hanging out.

However, these three people are relatively good at managing, and such negative news has never been released on a large scale.

Li Shengyao saw someone leaking the news on Tianya, saying that among the three, Guangtou Xu is the most flirtatious, and he especially likes to make people... mouth.

At this time, Chen Xun and Dong Xuan are not in Yanjing.

Director Li thought for a while, "Okay, come pick me up tonight."

"Director Li, we still have a friend who wants to see you, can you take him with you?"

"Who?"

"Xu Zheng is the pig in "Brilliant Spring Pig Bajie"."

The three musketeers survived together.

Li Shengyao had been prepared for a long time, so he pretended to be silent, paused for a moment, and then said: "Okay, take him with you."

He followed up with, "Is it safe?"

"Safe, absolutely safe, Xu Zheng often plays, he is a regular customer."
