Actor: Thank you.

Chapter 614: Fishing for people
After the hit of The Return of the Condor Heroes, Liu Qianqian became quite popular.

But she became famous as a TV actress, not in the film industry.

According to industry norms, the pay for TV actors filming movies will definitely be lower.

Because you haven't proven your box office appeal.

But this is just common sense.

But Liu Qianqian is not a "common sense" actress.

Since her debut, her pay for filming is no more than one or two million yuan. As for her pay for TV series, since she encountered the poor man Tangren and the pit of Big Beard, her pay for TV series was only a few thousand less than ten thousand per episode.

But the top resources her godfather invested in her were not wasted!
Although her pay is not too high, her commercial value is basically the highest among the top-tier stars.

He is on par with Cheng Hao, and only one level lower than Zhang Ziyi, Gong Li, and Zhou Xun.

In addition, everyone in the circle now knows that she has graduated from TV dramas... Of course, future generations have proved that it is only a temporary graduation, and there will be days for her to "repeat".

If you are determined to transform yourself into a movie star, your pay will definitely increase significantly.

Based on the shooting schedule, positioning and budget of "Secret", as well as her current situation and their relationship, Zhang Yuan gave a price that he thought was reasonable.

"I have two options."

"First, get paid normally."

"The second one is to get a share of the box office."

"If it's a normal pay, I'll set a price of 200 million for you."

"If you want a share, I'll give you 10%."

After hearing the conditions proposed by Zhang Yuan, Liu Qianqian felt that it was nothing.

The total salary for her previous TV series was less than 200 million.

Liu Xiaoli thought...

"Two million is not a lot."

"It's a friendship price."

At the same time, she was also thinking about the profit-sharing plan proposed by Zhang Yuan.

10% share of box office revenue, if you want to get 200 million, the film box office must be at least 5000 million.

It’s not easy for a romance film to get this box office.

Also, it’s not just the box office risk, there’s also the risk of cash flow.

If someone else said this, Liu Xiaoli would definitely let her daughter take the cash contract without hesitation.

Because profit-sharing contracts are too risky.

The risks lie not only in the performance of the film, but also in the integrity of the partners.

It is a common thing that they say they will give the money but then keep dragging their feet on paying it or even running away.

Xixi hasn't encountered any yet because Boss Chen, an old hand, has been helping to keep an eye on her.

It's not uncommon for other actresses to encounter this kind of thing.

But Zhang Yuan's words...

Liu Xiaoli heard about it.

The box office of that movie, "Crazy Stone", far exceeded industry expectations.

Zhang Yuan agreed to give 3% of the share to Fan Bingbing who made a guest appearance.

In the end, he gave it even though there was no contract.

Because of this incident, Aunt Liu heard many colleagues at the dinner party saying behind Zhang Yuan's back that he was a fool.

Instead of taking the opportunity to shirk your debt, you rush to give it to others.

Are you stupid?

She was quite familiar with Zhang Yuan, and she felt uncomfortable hearing people say that about him, but she did not refute.

But now that it had happened to her, she realized it.

This kid is not stupid at all!

Not only is he not stupid, he is also very smart.

Those who say he is stupid are stupid.

Short-sighted!

If she didn't know that he had given Fan Bingbing a share of the profits, she would never consider the profit-sharing plan now.

Now I not only consider it, but also think this plan is not bad.

Because they had taken advantage of the profit-sharing plan for the theme song of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Liu Xiaoli understood that Zhang Yuan was just setting up a signboard.

"Xixi, what do you think?" Liu Xiaoli glanced at her daughter.

"You said before that the budget of the film was not much?" Xiao Longnu turned around and asked.

"Not too much. We want to minimize costs and reduce risks."

The main thing is that he has no money now.

"That's a pretty good score."

"If I act well, I can get more pay, which is reasonable." Liu Qianqian said seriously, pursing her lips.

Zhang Yuan understood that she also wanted to help him.

"Okay, I'll draft the contract first, and you can think about it when you get home."

"Just give me an answer within a week."

"I wish you a pleasant cooperation." Zhang Yuan raised his teacup and drank it with Liu's mother and daughter, drinking tea instead of wine.

Yang Siwei, who was standing by, exclaimed in his heart, “That’s awesome!”

"The boss even touched the actress without gloves!"

"Not only did he sleep with her, he also took pictures of her."

"Not only do they film, but they don't even pay me."

“This is freeloading on freeloading.”

"Awesome, awesome, awesome..."

She even thought Zhang Yuan had already taken a "video" of Liu Qianqian.

"Just now you said you wanted to test your piano for me."

"Yes, come on, Aunt Liu should come too."

Going to the study in the backyard, Liu Qianqian sat down in front of the grand piano.

"Do you have this taste?" Liu Xiaoli asked, looking at the elegant and exquisite piano.

“Occasionally when I’m at home.”

"It's better to spend money on a piano than on eating and drinking."

"Of course, cultivating one's sentiments can make one more elegant." As a literary and artistic worker, Liu Xiaoli naturally agreed with him.

beep, beep...

Xiao Longnu's ten fingers were still moving, and the black and white keys rose and fell one after another.

A song of "Autumn Whispers" is like the setting sun, strolling freely in the courtyard.

Perhaps because she was unfamiliar with the instrument, Xixi played a few wrong notes, but Zhang Yuan did not point them out.

"This zither is really good." After the song, Xiao Longnu sighed, "But I haven't had time to practice the zither for a long time, and I played a few wrong notes just now."

Ok?
I didn't mention it, but you said it yourself?
"In the script just now, there are several scenes that require playing the piano."

"I can't do that with my clumsy hands," she continued.

"It would be nice if I could have such a nice piano at home."

Should I move to your house?
Zhang Yuan seemed to have reacted.

"Besides, the piano-playing part in the script requires two people playing with four hands, which is not easy for me to practice alone."

"That's okay. I'm free recently." Zhang Yuan quickly replied.

"Why don't you come to my place and I can practice with you? We can also use this piano."

"Yes, that's perfect!" Liu Qianqian followed suit.

Liu Xiaoli: You two work together very well...

Knowing that the girl has grown up, her thoughts have become independent, and she has her own ideas, Aunt Liu sighed.

"It's not good to keep disturbing Zhang Yuan."

"It's okay. I'll have the driver pick you up every morning."

"After dinner, I'll take you home."

"Xixi and I will practice piano. You can have some tea. There is a practice room over there. If you want, you can practice there."

"That's too disturbing. I can't do that."

"You can't eat, drink and take up space at the same time."

"Let's go home for dinner and leave in the afternoon."

Finally, they reached an agreement, and Sissi kept winking at him.

She also wanted to spend more time with Zhang Yuan.

Playing the piano and chatting are both good.

Xiaolongnu played for a while and felt that she had satisfied herself.

This was the first time they came back today, so Zhang Yuan invited them to have dinner, and Aunt Liu politely agreed.

We found an Italian chef who cooks Western food and he prepared a complete set of dishes from appetizers, soups, salads, main courses, staple foods to desserts.

Liu Xiaoli didn't eat much. She drank red wine and sighed that Zhang Yuan was making rapid progress. There was probably no one else like him in the entire entertainment industry.

Sissi was eating pasta and steak, feeling a little regretful that her mother had just rejected her idea of ​​having dinner here every day.

This is much more delicious than eating at home.

At around nine o'clock, Xixi started yawning.

This is a baby that is 1.7 meters tall... Send them to the door and wait for them to reunite in the next few days.

Return to the courtyard.

Yang Siwei is a workaholic.

At the same time, the job of an agent is one that requires work day and night, and requires 24-hour availability.

When the moon was high in the sky, she was still busy working and making contacts everywhere.

So when they were eating just now, Zhang Yuan asked the chef to prepare an extra portion just for her.

"Thank you for the hospitality, boss."

"It's my duty. As long as you like it." Zhang Yuan drank the remaining half bottle of red wine.

"But I have an opinion." The man, who looked like he had a big appetite, said as he ate.

"You said."

"We may have to save some money, as the company doesn't have much money left."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The Liu family mother and daughter were there just now, and she didn't mention this.

After all, you have to take care of the boss's face.

"This..." Zhang Yuan also felt miserable.

All the other male celebrities are living a life of debauchery, but he is burdened with a lot of debt.

"Soldier Assault has been broadcast on several channels. Have you urged Huayi to pay you back?"

"I have urged them several times, but every time they reply that it is not the settlement quarter yet or the financial director is not here, so there is no one responsible."

Zhang Yuan was silent for a while.

"In the future, any cooperation with Huayi will require a quick settlement clause to be included in the contract."

"understood."

"The Big Movie: Billions has been released, and we should be able to start collecting money by the Chinese New Year."

"If it doesn't work, I still have some real estate..."

Yang Siwei blinked his eyes and said, "You also have real estate!"
Hasn't this house been mortgaged?

How many houses did the boss buy?

Yang Siwei thought that he had bought a commercial house outside the fourth ring road of the imperial capital, and it was quite difficult to repay the mortgage every month.

Zhang Yuan is too cruel.

"Hey, don't worry, you might make a lot of money soon."

"I'll go out and work to support you."

Yang Siwei just thought he was joking.

Speaking of "Soldier Assault", a few days later, the crew really came.

"Big brother!"

Wang Baoqiang led Zhang Yi to the courtyard.

Baoqiang knew that his elder brother was interested in recruiting this person, so he kept an eye on him.

So, I invited him over.

Zhang Yi has been thinking about it recently and is indeed tempted by what Zhang Yuan said about making money and buying a house first.

"It's been a long time since we last met. I missed you." Zhang Yuan walked up to him and grabbed his arm.

Seeing his enthusiasm, Zhang Yi, who has a bit of social anxiety, was a little uncomfortable.

"Let's just eat something."

"But if we meet occasionally, we'll have to get drunk!"

"I can't drink much." Zhang Yi waved his hand and replied shyly.

"Then... I won't drink white wine anymore. I'll drink beer instead. It's not easy to get drunk."

"I don't drink white wine anymore. I'm surrounded by a bunch of drunkards. The little money I earned from endorsing Jiannanchun will be drunk back by them sooner or later."

Zhang Yuan tried to resolve the awkwardness while calling a nearby supermarket to have a few boxes of Snow Milk chocolate delivered.

The three of them started eating shabu-shabu mutton with beer.

"Don't worry, let's just eat and drink like friends."

Seeing that Zhang Yi was a little restrained, he comforted him.

You still have to say nice words.

However, he knew in his heart that since this person was willing to come to his house, he must be willing to cooperate.

So don't be in a hurry, just take it step by step.

Anyway, he doesn't have much market share now.

Baoqiang kept encouraging us, saying how great our place is and asking us to come visit often when we have time.

Zhang Yi held the beer bottle and drank silently without saying much.

Baoqiang is a big drinker and can even box after drinking two kilograms of liquor.

What he was doing was not drunken boxing, but Shaolin boxing.

According to him, he can drink three kilograms.

Zhang Yuan would not drink much when there was nothing to do, but if there was something to do, he had to knock his opponent down, so the amount was difficult to count.

When strong, he becomes strong, but his strength is unknown.

Seeing them drinking bottle after bottle, Zhang Yi thought to himself, is my alcohol tolerance not suitable for this company?

After eating several plates of meat and the sesame paste became thin, Zhang Yi spoke cautiously.

"You mentioned before that you should buy a house as soon as possible."

"If that doesn't work, you can still lend me some money... Is that true?"

Zhang Yuan: …

You came at a very bad time.

I'm short of money.

How do you want me to answer?

"Of course." Zhang Yuan couldn't go back on his word.

"Actually, after that meeting, I thought about it for a long time," Zhang Yi said with emotion.

"Men should indeed shoulder the responsibility of supporting the family."

"Since you like me, I will treat you as a friend."

"That's good. Have you seen the house?" Zhang Yuan asked cautiously.

"I asked an agent to look at some old houses in the city, thinking they would be more convenient for my wife to work."

"The housing prices in the capital are too high now, more than 10,000 yuan per square meter, who can afford it?"

What will happen when the price reaches 200,000 or 300,000 yuan per square meter... Zhang Yuan didn't talk to him about appreciation or the future.

"My wife is taking care of the child. We need to buy at least a two-bedroom apartment so that the child can have an independent room. He can't sleep in the living room."

"Then it would have to be more than 60 or 70 square meters."

"At least one set will cost hundreds of thousands."

"The down payment alone would be hundreds of thousands."

In those days, the capital had a regulation that for purchases of houses below 90 square meters, the down payment ratio could be as low as 20%.

Zhang Yi's biggest source of income now is the film salary of less than 30,000 yuan for "Soldier Assault".

Buying a house is indeed out of reach for him.

“So what you need now is to give up your fantasies and your so-called artistic persistence.”

"Make money first and take care of your family."

"But I don't want to give up." Zhang Yi was still struggling.

As they talked more, they started drinking more.

He also drank bottle after bottle.

It's just like he said, he can't drink much.

After drinking two bottles of Snow, his cheeks were already red.

After complaining about his unsuccessful life, he held Zhang Yuan's hand and said.

"I'm very touched that you are willing to lend me money!"

“But I’m afraid of losing myself.”

"Brother, let me think about it again..."

"It's okay, it's not a big deal. I'll introduce you to a role that suits you later." Zhang Yuan did not have the slightest intention of forcing anyone, and frankly expressed his willingness to provide a job.

After drinking another bottle, he even started singing military songs with tears in his eyes.

Confusion is a topic that everyone cannot avoid after leaving the system.

Zhang Yuan also joined in the singing while holding up a wine bottle.

While he was singing, he heard his cell phone dinging. Zhang Yuan was a little drunk after drinking more than a box of drinks, so he picked up the phone without even looking at it.

"Hello, who is it?"

"%...￥&&Y*..."

Zhang Yi was still singing, but his face was blurry and he couldn't make any noise at all.

He had no choice but to run outside.

It is already winter now. As soon as I walked out of the house where the hot pot was lit, a cool breeze immediately blew into my neck.

"Hello, who is this? I didn't hear you clearly just now." He replied loudly, shrinking his neck.

But at this time, a familiar voice came from the phone.

"Brother, help me!"
