Chapter 750 - All Successful Businessmen

Of course, it was impossible for Yun Xiangxiang to act for free. He was still counting on Yun Xiangxiang.

Mu Qin’s film was never short of actors. It was evident from the fierce competition between Gao Qiu and Lu Huanong.

However, Mu Qin still valued the collaboration between Yun Xiangxiang and Hua Yao. He had long intended to invite Yun Xiangxiang. However, the investors felt that Yun Xiangxiang was too young and might not be able to handle such a role.

This female lead did not have many lines. There were many scenes, but they were all eye plays. They needed very meticulous and experienced actors.

After a few rounds of selection, they actually preferred Gao Qiu and Lu Huanong the most. They held a few internal meetings and were more inclined towards Lu Huanong.

Gao Qiu’s appearance did not fit the role. Lu Huanong, on the other hand, had more of the character’s flavor.

It was just that Lu Huanong didn’t know how she offended Gao Qiu this time. She offended him badly. Gao Qiu used some tricks, but Lu Jin didn’t even need to say anything. Most of the investors removed Lu Huanong’s name, and now they were looking for her again.

Lu Jin suggested that the female lead needed his approval, and recommended Yun Xiangxiang. They first contacted He Wei, and then went to Yun Xiangxiang.

After confirming that Yun Xiangxiang wanted to join, he wei then talked about the pay with Mu Qin and the others. Yun Xiangxiang was a little nervous about this.

He Wei gave Yun Xiangxiang the right to split the profits. He guessed that Yun Xiangxiang had not been involved in this film since the beginning, so he also had this consideration.

From “Jiu se”to “Soar to the sky”to “Jun Chen”, which had already been signed, they were all guaranteed to split the profits.

Among them, “Jiu se”was guaranteed to be 1.5 billion, “Soar to the sky”was 2.5 billion, and “Ruler and minister”was also 1.5 billion.

“Go back and think about it. My conditions will not change,”Mu Qin said to He Wei before sending them off.

Yun Xiangxiang knew that this was not a deal, but she still smiled and waved at them.

After the car drove some distance away, he wei said, “They are determined to get 3 billion.”

Yun Xiangxiang was so shocked that her eyes went blank. “Brother Wei, how much did you say?”

“3 billion,”he wei repeated.

3 billion! Yun Xiangxiang felt that this was too scary. “An average of 100 million per day at the box office...”

Currently, the domestic box office record was Lu Jin’s “Ingenuity,”and it was only 2.56 billion.

“They are planning to delay the film,”he Wei said.

“I remember that there were two popular films, but the effect after the delay was not ideal,”Yun Xiangxiang understood.

However, there were a few films in the past that did not have low box office earnings. They were all popular films that broke through 1.3 billion yuan. Even after a month’s delay, they did not break through 2 billion yuan. There was even a film that increased by 200 million yuan after the delay, barely breaking through 1.5 billion yuan.

Yun Xiangxiang’s films were all very popular, not to mention Lu Jin’s film. However, they had never been postponed.

This was because everyone could see the fatigue in the later stages of the film. It had basically reached saturation, so there was no need to do this.

It was because there had been too many failures in the beginning. It was not as if the delay could create a box office legend.

“This is the main reason why they changed their mind to invite you.”He Wei looked at Yun Xiangxiang, “Whether the box office can keep up after the delay depends on two main points. The first is the popularity of the film. As long as the film becomes a blockbuster, this point will not be difficult. The second is whether the cinema will support your scheduling.”

“I understand. It’s because I have cooperated with Hua Yao, right?”Yun Xiangxiang could not help but laugh. She did not expect the benefits brought by Hua Yao’s cooperation to be reflected so quickly, “But Hua Bingzheng made it very clear. It’s just that the first week’s film row piece rate is not less than 40% .”

Moreover, the delay of a month and the release of a new film in Hua Yao were all for the sake of making money. How could the cinema not arrange for a large number of new goods and arrange for an old film that had almost attracted the surrounding audience?

At least until now, no film had been successful.

“All the producers are excellent businessmen.”He Wei lowered his head and laughed. “They can also see Hua Bingzheng’s ambition. If nothing goes wrong, ‘Rescue Operation’will definitely be your first delayed film.

“Since Hua Bingzheng has hired you, he will support you to the end and Gamble with you.

“If he loses, he will only make a mistake and lose some prestige and money. However, there are many investments in the business world, and not everyone is successful. Failure is not valued by those who have experienced hardships.

“However, if he wins, he will reshuffle the rules of the cinema and his words in Hua Yao will carry weight. Those shareholders will no longer dare to stop him from making any decisions in the future.”

Yun Xiangxiang leaned back. “They are all scheming people.”

Fortunately, she was not a businessman. Otherwise, how many brain cells would die every day when dealing with these people?

“What About You? What do you think?”He Wei asked for Yun Xiangxiang’s opinion.

“What else can I think?”She either agreed or refused. Yun Xiangxiang could not bear to refuse. “Take it. At most, the pay will be less.”

She was not poor, nor did she accept the film for money. The distribution rights meant that the pay was low. If it did not meet the distribution requirements, it would only be so little.

She really liked ‘rescue operation’and did not want to miss it.

“I guessed that you would definitely agree.”He Wei thought seriously for a while. “I will talk to them again. It’s not like we don’t have any leverage.”

Hua Yao was their bargaining chip, and it was very important to the herdsmen. Without the support of the cinema, unless it was so popular that the cinema could not go against the money, there was no point in postponing it.

He Wei did not plan to lower the minimum wage, but he had to pay two remuneration packages.

This film did not rely on Yun Xiangxiang to carry the box office, so Yun Xiangxiang should not bear it alone.

They could pay Yun Xiangxiang after the film was released. For example, they could pay Yun Xiangxiang how much they should pay her if they did not reach the minimum guarantee level. It would only be fair if they reached the minimum guarantee level.

“Will they feel that they are losing out?”Yun Xiangxiang felt that he Wei’s actions were a little overboard.

In this way, regardless of the final results of the film, Yun Xiangxiang was destined to receive the highest remuneration.

“Silly girl, their choice is only you, but your choice is not just them.”He Wei’s lips curled up.

So far, Yun Xiangxiang was the only one who had cooperated with the cinema. Hua Bingzheng indeed wanted to support Yun Xiangxiang to the end for his own benefit, but Yun Xiangxiang did not only act in ‘rescue operation’.

There was only one chance for Hua Bingzheng to stake everything, and this time, Yun Xiangxiang had to speak up personally.

They did not bet on ‘rescue operation’, but on ‘soar to the Sky’or any other film in the future.

Therefore, the advantage was all in their hands. Why should they let others have the initiative.

Yun Xiangxiang silently shifted her position and distanced herself from He Wei.

“What are you doing?”He Wei frowned.

“I think an agent is also a successful businessman, like you,”Yun Xiangxiang said seriously.
