Chapter 468: International Remuneration

As expected, Lao Mouzi has gone through ups and downs and has seen people in the big market. Just like the traces of vicissitudes on his face, he is calm and capable. Although he made a wrong judgment at the Berlin International Film Festival, he and Ye Ye There was a gap in Ming Dynasty, but in less than a day, he was able to adjust his mentality and face Ye Ming very calmly.

A person like this needs a big heart, and as an international director, Zhang Yimou obviously has such a big heart. Regardless of whether it was true or not, in such a situation, he could face Ye Ming calmly.

He even said that when he saw Ye Ming walking in, he was the first to say hello and said: "Ye Ming, I was thinking that you would be able to come back today. How was the meeting with Miss Tyra? Did you gain anything? Then But she’s the queen of Versace.”

Donna Versace is the woman who truly sits on the throne at the top of the trend, overlooking all living beings.

Ye Ming naturally acted as if nothing had happened, and said with a smile: "Miss Tyra invited me to be the spokesperson for Asia. The contract has been signed, and the results are quite satisfactory."

As for Miss Tyra inviting Ye Ming to be Versace's designer, Ye Ming thought it was nothing worth showing off, so he didn't say anything. Cheng Long didn't see anything wrong here at all. After all, at the award ceremony, Zhang Ziyi was the only one who noticed Zhang Yimou talking to Ye Ming, and Zhang Ziyi would never talk about the situation at that time. from. Therefore, Cheng Long had no way of knowing this situation.

Seeing Ye Ming and Zhang Yimou chatting and laughing, Cheng Long was also very happy and said: "So Ye Ming, you accepted a big advertisement without saying anything. I asked you why you came late.

It seems that Director Zhang and I are very destined. Ye Ming is the male villain I invited. At this time, Miss Zhang Ziyi will come to participate in the filming of the second part of my Rush Hour. I hope you can cooperate in the future. joy. "

In fact, Zhang Ziyi was able to film the second part of Rush Hour because "My Father and Mother" won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin International Film Festival. If not for this, Cheng Long might not have considered the role of Zhang Ziyi.

In fact, for this role, Gong Li is the best candidate, and Shu Qi is also a backup candidate, but Zhang Ziyi was not considered at the beginning. After all, a newcomer just filmed a movie by Zhang Yimou, and there is nothing too much. Due to her performance experience, Cheng Long did not consider Zhang Ziyi at all at first.

But under such a situation, since [my father and mother] have won the Silver Bear Award, Zhang Ziyi is no longer unknown, and at least she has a reason for Cheng Long to sign the contract. Coupled with Zhang Yimou's recommendation, Cheng Longyou gave him a favor. After all, Zhang Ziyi is also a big selling point now.

In fact, although the atmosphere between Ye Ming and Zhang Yimou was relatively harmonious, it was because there were outsiders present, so they seemed very harmonious.

Especially when signing the contract, everyone was even more happy. However, Zhang Yimou looked at the contract and said with some dissatisfaction: "The salary is only 200,000 yuan. Isn't it a bit low? After all, Zhang Ziyi's starting point is relatively high. Paying 200,000 yuan is not in line with the Berlin International Film Festival Silver Bear Award." His identity."

If an actor stars in a movie that wins an award, his or her net worth will also increase reasonably. The price of this increase depends on whether you win the award. What an award.

But regardless of whether it is true or not, [my father and mother] won the Silver Bear Award. At this time, it means that I have to have a salary worthy of the Silver Bear Award. Cheng Long didn't say anything at this time, but as a director, Bright cried and said: "Director Zhang, in fact, the price I gave you is for the sake of the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

Otherwise, according to Chinese rules, Zhang Ziyi would have to wait at least three to five years until she was qualified to meet me and audition, and then she would have a slight chance of getting this role. "

The price of Ye Ming was originally about 300,000, which is an average price for major international productions. However, after becoming the best actor in Berlin, as Cheng Long said before, this price will increase at least ten times. Only then can it fit Ye Ming's identity. Therefore, the crew naturally had to lower the pay of other actors.

In fact, Zhang Ziyi was given 200,000 yuan, which was the lowest salary. This was because she had an international award-winning film, otherwise there would be no chance of getting this role. Zhang Yimou frowned. Although his boss was unwilling to do so, in order for Zhang Ziyi to have a good international career, he had no choice but to grit his teeth and accept it.

He nodded at Zhang Ziyi, which meant that he could sign the contract.

At this time, Zhang Ziyi was filled with joy. Two hundred thousand dollars was US dollars. How much money did Zhang Yimou give herself for filming "My Father and Mother"? How much did the entire "My Father and Mother" crew spend? It was basically Said there is no comparison.

Therefore, even though the price is relatively low internationally, Zhang Ziyi still signed her first international contract with great joy.

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi felt that she finally had the intention to step out of the country and start rushing into the international film industry.

Being able to cooperate with an international superstar like Cheng Long made Zhang Ziyi's heart surge like a tidal wave, one wave higher than the other, constantly impacting her own spiritual defenses, making it difficult to calm down.

At this moment, her heart was filled with happiness. The next step was for Ye Ming to sign the contract. Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi, who originally wanted to leave, heard that Ye Ming was going to sign the contract. They didn't know what their psychology was, but they didn't leave immediately, but acted as if nothing had happened. Stand there. In fact, the two of them had the same idea. They wanted to know how much Ye Ming was paid to sign the contract.

This actor's salary cannot be inquired casually. Therefore, if you want to know how much Ye Ming's salary is, this may not be the only chance. Don't believe what the newspapers and magazines say about the remuneration of stars. Those are the highest quotes and there is a lot of room for negotiation.

Ye Ming didn't say much. He took a look at the contract and found nothing wrong. He nodded and signed it happily.

Then, it is said that everyone has a happy ending, and the next step is to celebrate with a meal. Many things in China can be related to the wine table.

After coming out, Cheng Long and Bright tried their best to invite Ye Ming to a car with them, but Zhang Yimou and Zhang Ziyi were in a separate car, and this time also gave Zhang Ziyi a chance to complain.

Originally, being able to sign a contract with Cheng Long and star in the second part of Rush Hour was a big selling point in itself. Even if the salary was relatively low, I would discuss it with the crew and raise my salary to make it a one-year-old movie. A million or two million or something, it's not a big deal, anyway, Zhang Ziyi is not in the entertainment industry alone.

It can be said that this is the biggest happy event for Zhang Ziyi after the Silver Bear Award.

But at this moment, Zhang Ziyi couldn't be happy no matter what. At this moment, Zhang Ziyi dug her mouth and sat in the car with a cold face and said: "Director Zhang, you see, this is obviously bullying people? Mine is only 200,000, but Ye Ming's salary is actually 3 million. There is no comparison at all. Doesn’t it give me face? My face doesn’t matter. I’m a young actor and a newcomer, but that doesn’t give you face.”

Zhang Yimou was also very angry in his heart, like a volcano erupting, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he waved his hand and said: "Don't talk about this matter anymore. In fact, if you can get this contract, it will be very good." Fortunately, this was originally Shu Qi's role. I dare say that no matter who you two get this role, the price will be similar.

And you still have a price of 200,000 because of the Silver Bear Award. As for Ye Ming, he is already more famous than you, and he is also good at kung fu. In addition, he is the new Berlin Best Actor. If the Rush Hour crew wanted to invite him, they would naturally have to give him a more suitable price.

Didn't you see the director's look? It's so exciting to sign a contract. This is what international filmmaking is. As long as you are qualified and capable, people are not afraid of spending money. I dare say that before Ye Ming went to Berlin, even if his salary was more than what you are getting now, it was still limited. But the Berlin Best Actor , the number one Chinese actor in Berlin, this was enough for the Rush Hour crew to bid three million.

It's not just you. It can be said that the only stars in China who can suppress Ye Ming in terms of salary are Cheng Long, Jet Li and Zhou Yunfa. The remaining people don’t have this qualification at all. "

These words shocked Zhang Ziyi. Is this the same Ye Ming who was filming "My Father and Mother" with her? Is this the same Ye Ming who was able to completely suppress her Ye Ming in terms of acting skills?

Although Ye Ming is much better than Zhang Ziyi in terms of acting skills, because Zhang Ziyi has Zhang Yimou, an international director, Zhang Ziyi does not take Ye Ming to heart. She understands that as long as she can get Zhang Yimou's help, she will It was only a matter of time before he surpassed Ye Ming.

This is not the case. Not only did it receive Li Yu's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", but it also took over the second part of Cheng Long's "Rush Hour".

At this moment, Zhang Ziyi acted like a proud princess and looked down upon Ye Ming, a commoner. Even if a commoner is rich, he is still a commoner and cannot become a noble.

These are all achievements, and they are all achievements that Zhang Ziyi despises Ye Ming, but now it sounds like the achievements Ye Ming has achieved have reached a level that even herself is a little beyond the reach of.

Cheng Long, Jet Li, and Zhou Runfa are the three Chinese international stars who have entered Hollywood. They can be said to represent the top of the Chinese entertainment industry. Ye Ming actually wanted these three people to suppress him. The powerful strength simply made Zhang Ziyi dizzy for a while. (To be continued)
