New era art park, Lu Chen studio. [literature building]
Compared with the original place, the new studio has not only expanded its area several times, but also its pattern is far from that of the original office building. In order to build this "new home", Lu Chen specially entrusted a well-known design company in Beijing to carry out decoration design and construction.
Just the design fee, he paid 500000 - which is still a friendship price.
The so-called "one price, one goods", the new studio invested a lot of money to decorate has the style and temperament of the art company, and has a simple and lively decoration style with exquisite details.
Lu Chen finally has his own independent office and a private place to receive friends and guests.
As for the original rented place, it is not empty or sublet, but has become the office of Chenfei charity foundation, which is currently under renovation.
Now there is a guest in Lu Chen's office.
The other party is in his forties, wearing a suit and tie. He looks gentle. His figure is slightly thin. His cheekbones are a little high on his cheeks and his eyes are small. He may be a little short-sighted, but he doesn't wear glasses. He always narrows intentionally or unintentionally.
The atmosphere in the room was a little dull. Lu Chen looked attentively at a contract document in his hand and gently tapped twice with his right index finger on the table, which somewhat exposed his inner mood at the moment.
The middle-aged man in his forties is called Fang Jun. he is Fang Hui's agent and the latter's cousin.
The contract in Lu Chen's hand was brought by Fang Jun.
The content of the contract is mainly the treatment terms of Fang Hui as a director in Lu Chen's new play.
"Blue life and death love" was directed by Fang Hui. At that time, she signed an appointment directly with Lu Chen's studio, so after the shooting, it was also the remuneration paid by the studio to her.
Lu Chen's cooperation with Fang Hui was very pleasant. In addition, the blue drama sold well. Later, he and Chen Feier specially wrapped two big red envelopes and sent them.
Because the success of blue life and death love is largely due to Fang Hui. She has a strong grasp of the plot and appropriately shows the artistic conception of the story. According to laymen, it is very "beautiful".
Therefore, Lu Chen intends to hand over the new play "full house of romance" to Fang Huilai, which has also been recognized by the cooperation.
But it's not that simple.
Fang Hui's agent brought Lu Chen a contract. It's a little too much.
In this contract, Fang Hui's director's asking price for film remuneration has been fully 20 times higher than that of the blue play, reaching 5 million. In addition, she also enjoys a number of benefit sharing, including a part of the copyright sharing!
Lu Chen was able to accept just 5 million yuan. Fang Hui received 250000 yuan for making the blue play. It was not low for her then worth, but there was no additional share income.
I owe her a debt, so I gave her a red envelope later - this is the truth of being a man and doing things.
Now it's time to shoot a new play, and it's inevitable to improve the treatment of directors.
In today's film and television industry, it is common for high-ranking directors to take a share in addition to the fixed remuneration. The specific contract terms involve specific situations. Top directors can make tens of millions for a large film or long play.
It's also normal for Fang Hui to ask for a share.
But when it comes to copyright sharing, Lu Chen can't keep an ordinary mind.
He has always attached great importance to copyright. For example, his works are registered at the first time. Now he still retains part of the copyright when selling songs to others. For TV dramas that will definitely be popular, such as blue life and death love and romantic full house, the copyright should be firmly held in his hand and can not be coveted by others.
The benefits brought by IP are the greatest and lasting, and it is easy to be used when shared.
Therefore, although Lu Chen has many partners in the preparation of the new play and invests in many ways to share the benefits, he has not been lax to anyone in the area of copyright - this is the golden hen laying eggs!
Lu Chen inevitably feels strange. In his impression, Fang Hui is not that greedy person. The film pay she asks is not unreasonable and in line with her worth, but it's a little incredible to get involved in the achievement of copyright distribution.
Lu Chen's long silence made Fang Jun a little uneasy. He moved his ass and asked tentatively, "Mr. Lu, if you have any opinions or ideas about this contract, you can tell me now."
Lu Chen glanced at each other quietly.
In the entertainment industry, it is common for star artists, including directors, to use their relatives as agents. For example, his own agent is his sister.
The biggest advantage of using relatives as agents is to rest assured that they usually don't have to worry about being betrayed or stabbed in the back.
Fang Hui accepted Lu Chen's invitation and was willing to continue directing his new play, and then let the agent come forward to talk with him about the treatment. However, it is normal for everyone to be public to public.
But it's not without problems.
He thought for a moment and said, "originally, our manager was talking about the contract in our studio, but my sister just went out today."
Lu Chen turned his head and said, "I've read this contract. I can talk about everything else. I'm afraid there's no need to discuss the copyright, and I feel that the share ratio you require is too high!"
In the last few words, Lu Chen spoke firmly with unshakable firmness.
This is the advantage of facing the agent. Otherwise, if it's the other party's Hui, it's hard to say something.
Fang Jun's face changed and immediately said with a smile: "this can be discussed. The issue of copyright can be put aside first, but the share proportion actually we can inject capital."
Capital injection, that is to ask for more. There is no lack of investment in Lu Chen's new drama!
Lu Chen suddenly understood that the copyright requirements put forward by the other party were just a cover. The real purpose was to divide into this piece, and he had a great appetite.
He suspected that Fang Jun had his own ideas.
It is not uncommon for the agent of a star artist to make his own opinion when talking about the contract.
Fang Hui may not know.
Lu Chen pondered for a moment, then shook his head, put the contract on the table and pushed it back to Fang Jun.
That's what rejection means!
Fang Jun obviously didn't expect that Lu Chen's attitude would be so tough and refused so resolutely. He thought there would be some verbal swords. As a result, Lu Chen didn't give him a chance to show his eloquence at all.
This made Fang Jun a little angry.
He came prepared today. He not only carefully concocted the contract, but also deliberately inquired about Lu Xi's absence. He chose to interview Lu Chen and tried to open a gap from Lu Chen.
Lu Chen is very young and has a good relationship with Fang Hui. Coupled with the good reputation in the circle, Fang Jun wants to convince him with his ability to win the best contract.
However, Lu Chenyuan was more difficult to deal with than he thought.
He couldn't help saying, "Miss Lu, Fang Hui of our family has invited a lot of people now, and the treatment is not low."
Fang Jun is not talking nonsense. Blue love for life and death has successfully won the popularity of a group of newcomers, and also promoted Fang Hui, who was only slightly famous in the circle, to the position of a first-line TV drama director.
Before and after the Chinese new year, many film and television companies found Fang Hui and invited her to shoot TV dramas of the same type.
The prices are quite high!
Otherwise, Fang Jun will have no confidence to come up with such a contract.
Lu Chen smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Fang, sister Fang Hui and I are friends. We are in business. I think she can understand, and I also hope her career can be better and better."
Said, Lu Chen also secretly sighed in his heart.
Originally, these words should be the most appropriate for Lu Xi. Agents often play black faces.
Just some words Lu Chen didn't spit out.
In fact, before Fang Jun, Lu Xi, on behalf of Lu Chen's studio, also rejected several contracts, including Zhang Liwei and Hu Yang, two newcomers who became popular because of the blue drama.
Both want to play roles in Lu Chen's new play, but their agents put forward high requirements.
If Lu Chen's studio fully meets their requirements, the budget of the new play will be greatly overspent.
Zhang Liwei and Hu Yang are also sincere, but their current wealth is far from what they were when they made the blue play. What the agent requires is front-line treatment. In addition to the film salary, they also have specific conditions, such as going out to shoot clothes, food, housing and transportation.
Zhang Liwei and Hu Yang may be willing to reduce their pay, but the corresponding treatment is not enough and will be laughed at.
And now they have a lot of film appointments and endorsements.
Therefore, after contact, Lu Chen still gave up these original people. "Romantic full house" is a new play, not a sequel to "blue life and death love". There are many artists who want to play roles, and there is a lot of room for choice.
The same is true for Fang Hui. She is not irreplaceable.
Lu Chen's words are all about this. Fang Jun can't talk about it even if he wants to continue. He can only angrily put away the contract and try to save it at last: "teacher Lu, actually"
Lu Chen waved his hand and interrupted his words: "make an appointment with our manager to talk again."
That said, in fact, Lu Chen has given up the idea of letting Fang Hui continue to direct. There are many directors who can shoot works of the same type in the circle, and there are also choices.
Fang Jun was not reconciled.
Lu Chen was more and more sure that the contract was drawn up on his own initiative and was not recognized by Fang Hui.
But so what? Lu Chen can't call Fang Hui directly to complain, can he?
If he did that, he would be too immature.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Chen called Sister Li.
To tell the truth, he is also a little depressed. No wonder others say that the entertainment industry is too complex. Many things can't be achieved if you think well, and people's hearts will change.
In this circle, there are really few people who can always adhere to their original heart.
