I'm the man behind the big stars

Chapter 37
Lu Chen chatted with his younger sister for an hour and a half before going to sleep. The two siblings have a good relationship and can chat about everything, although there are often bickering situations.

Early the next morning, Lu Chen and the others went to the filming base in Hwaseong. Chen Chuan's directing again made people full of curiosity. Many people wanted to know what kind of movie this was.

Although it was just an ordinary audition, many well-known actors came because of Chen Chuan's promotion. Of course, some of them came with other purposes.

Seeing that there were more people auditioning at the audition scene than the last time when filming Diao Man Princess, Lu Chen was a little puzzled, what did this Chen Chuan do, and why so many people came?

At this time, a man with a handsome face came to Chen Chuan, and his appearance caused commotion in the crowd.

After seeing this person, Chen Chuan asked suspiciously: "Sun Kai, are you filming nearby?"

Sun Kai is a well-known actor and one of the most popular celebrities today. Chen Chuan didn't think he was here to audition. After all, Chen Chuan said at the beginning that the salary they paid was relatively low, so they had to use newcomers.

As for big stars like Sun Kai, the salary is at least 8000 million or more, and they will not accept film and television dramas that are lower than this amount.

Sun Kai smiled and said, "Director Chen, I'm also here to audition."

Hearing this, Chen Chuan was stunned.

Was this guy kidding him?

Chen Chuan said in disbelief: "You better stop joking, I'm making a small movie, I'm afraid the movie cost is not enough to hire you."

Chen Chuan often cooperates with big stars like Sun Kai, so he naturally knows their salary requirements.

To be honest, although Sun Kai is a traffic star and belongs to the category of small fresh meat, his acting skills are definitely not bad. If he can play the leading actor in "A Chinese Journey to the West", Chen Chuan would welcome him very much, but Chen Chuan If the music company wants to control the cost of the movie, there is no way to hire this person, or it is impossible to hire him.

Sun Kai smiled, glanced at Lu Chen next to Chen Chuan, and continued, "Director Chen, I'm not joking with you."

"If the cost of the movie is not enough, I can bring money into the team."

Hearing this, Chen Chuan frowned. He could tell that Sun Kai was serious, but why did he do this?
A big star like Sun Kai used to be hired by the crew with exorbitant salary, but Sun Kai took the initiative to come to him today.

"I want to know why you want to make this movie." Chen Chuan asked.

"I believe that the movies Director Chen wants to make are carefully selected by Director Chen, and I also believe in Director Chen's vision."

"Secondly, our company heard that the screenwriter of this drama is Chen Lu, that is, the screenwriter of Diao Man Princess. You know, Diao Man Princess is so popular. This is enough to show the strength of this screenwriter. Our company is also optimistic about this movie. "

"In addition, I personally want to cooperate with Miss Shi Yin once."

After hearing these three reasons, Lu Chen took a look at Sun Kai.

He actually couldn't get used to this kind of boyish face.

Moreover, he always felt that this guy was coming for Shi Yin.

At this time, Chen Chuan said again: "The biggest problem with this movie is not the investment, but the road director wants to control the cost, and he doesn't allow the director and actors to bring money into the team, so the actors' remuneration can't be high."

Hearing that Chen Chuan said that he was not allowed to bring funds into the group, Sun Kai was stunned. At first, he thought that Chen Chuan was going to cooperate with a new company that he had never heard of before to make a movie because Chen Chuan brought money. Yes, after all, this kind of small company doesn't have so much money to invest in a movie, but it turned out that Chen Chuan didn't bring money into the group.

Chen Chuan is an old drama player. Although his salary is not as high as Xiao Xianrou's, it is not far from a traffic star. Can this small company pay his salary with a sole proprietorship?
Or did they sign a pay-later contract?
Nowadays, many companies have adopted this method. Some companies have invested in a movie, but they don’t have so much money for the time being, so they sign a contract with the star to delay the settlement of the film salary. star pay.

Of course, this is of no benefit to most of the traffic. After all, no one knows what is going on at the box office. If the movie hits the market and the investor does not recover the cost, it is likely that the star's salary will be delayed for a long time. Time, so most traffic stars will make movies when they see money first.

If Chen Chuan signed a contract with Chenyin Company to delay the settlement of the salary, it means that he himself is very optimistic about this movie, which further intensifies Sun Kai's desire to make this movie.

"How about this, let's sign a contract, and after the movie is released, it's okay to pay me again, and it's okay to lower my salary a little bit." Sun Kai suggested.

Hearing this, Chen Chuan turned to look at Lu Chen.

"Lu Chen, what do you think?"

To be honest, Chen Chuan thinks that Sun Kai is very suitable to play the male lead in the movie "A Chinese Journey to the West", but before he had to consider Sun Kai's sky-high remuneration, Chenyin could not give it in the early stage, but now Sun Kai has proposed that his remuneration can be filmed. If you give it after the release, then you don't have to worry about Chenyin not being able to pay Sun Kai's sky-high salary. Chen Chuan is still willing to believe that this "Journey to the West" can be a big box office hit, and even the cost can be recovered.

However, it all depends on whether Lu Chen is willing or not. After all, some people in this industry hate Xiao Xianrou's exorbitant salary.

It just so happened that Lu Chen was the kind of person who hated the exorbitant salary of Xiao Xianrou.

Lu Chen pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Sun Kai, what's your minimum salary?"

Sun Kai smiled, then raised his right hand and opened his palm.

Lu Chen asked suspiciously, "Fifty thousand?"

Hearing this, both Chen Chuan and Sun Kai were stunned. This guy really didn't understand the market, or he was just joking with them. For [-] yuan, he might not even be able to hire an [-]th-line actor.

After Sun Kai reacted, he still said with a smile on his face: "Dong Lu, you are so humorous, [-] is not enough for my daily expenses."

Lu Chen thought for a while, then continued to ask, "Then 50?"

Lu Chen thought to himself, Chen Chuan is an old actor and director, and he only paid him 50 yuan. You little fresh meat, 50 yuan is not enough.

Hearing what Lu Chen said, Sun Kai found that Lu Chen really didn't understand the market, his expression changed slightly, but he still kept smiling.

"Director Lu, maybe 50 won't be enough to invite a third-tier star?" Sun Kai said.

Seeing that the other party still thought it was too little, Lu Chen frowned, so he said again: "500 million is the final price. If it is more, I am afraid that another shareholder of our Chenyin company will not agree."

Sun Kai said a little speechlessly: "Director Lu, it's impossible for Director Chen's salary to stop at 500 million, right?"

Hearing this, Lu Chen showed a smile, and said, "No, Director Chen's salary is 50."
