Chapter 59: Negotiations

Standing at the intersection of Beijing International Airport again, Guan Chen felt a little emotional.

In order to express this emotion, he was going to read a poem:

"You are even more timid when you are close to home...it takes ten steps to kill one person."

Manager Qian next to him looked at Guan Chen like a bug.

When the two patrolling airport policemen passed by ten meters, Manager Qian lowered his voice and asked Guan Chen: How did you know that the director would choose you when that role became available? You wouldn't secretly spread rumors yourself, would you?

How can I get so much money to do that? Guan Chen shook his head and said, I am also trying my luck.

It does require luck.

If Mr. Liu had no intention at all, Guan Chen would have no way to get a second chance except physically preventing Huang Lun from acting.

Before and after the Chinese New Year, he asked the rubbish boy to keep an eye on Huang Lun's news on the Internet and collect all the news. It was not until he saw those drafts that Guan Chen felt relieved. Everything was as he expected, and Mr. Liu did not disappoint him.

However, the replacement of actors can be said to be the most secretive news in the crew. Guan Chen is far away in the Magic City and has no background relationship. He does not know when Huang Lun will be taken down by Mr. Liu, so he only

You can target the director you admire most during the audition in advance to increase your sense of presence.

Unfortunately, he didn't know Director Chen's number. Guan Chen contacted him online, but he never found his whereabouts, so he had to transfer his energy to the screenwriter of the movie.

The screenwriter is very active on Weibo and often shares photos related to "Police Story".

Guan Chen registered a WeChat account and pretended to be a fan of the screenwriter. After the fourth episode of "Extreme Man" was broadcast, he kept asking the screenwriter, pretending to ask him whether it was true or false, and whether it was a script.

After that, it all depends on God's will.

Now it seems that God is temporarily on his side.

I don’t know if the screenwriter recommended him or the director always remembered him, but Guan Chen got the chance to play Wu Ze as he wished.

The reason why it is still possible is because everything is still uncertain before signing the contract.

Xie Jinzhu was busy reading the script of "Black Dragon" and couldn't get away from it, so Qian Liangyi not only continued to recruit talents to add manpower to the studio's business in the coming year, but also accompanied Guan Chen to negotiate the salary and sign the contract.

"Let me do the negotiations later, don't say anything." Qian Liangyi told Guan Chen.

Guan Chen nodded and said he had no objection, "Don't worry, I have experienced this kind of negotiation several times."

"Have you ever negotiated before?" Qian Liangyi was a little curious.

"Of course." Guan Chen crossed his arms and said seasonedly, "In matters like negotiation, whoever takes the initiative has a greater chance of winning."

So far, Guan Chen’s content is pretty normal.

"In order to seize the initiative, there are several ways, such as secretly promising the other party some benefits and kickbacks; or having some handle, evidence, and secrets about the other party; if that doesn't work, you can also control the other party's family members." Guan Chenwei

Talk about it.

Sure enough! Sure enough! Sure enough! Qian Liangyi shouted in his heart.

Seeing the patrol police approaching, Qian Liangyi quickly stopped Guan Chen from continuing, "Anyway, don't talk when you get there!"

Qian Liangyi pulled Guan Chen out of the airport quickly, called a taxi, and went straight to Changping District, the production company of "Police Story".

In order to prevent the driver from calling the police and leaking any news, Qian Liangyi refused to talk to Guan Chen in the car.

About an hour later, the two came to the [Cinema City] Changping District again.

There are still countless screenwriters wandering on the streets who have great ambitions but cannot find a job, actors who have gathered from all over the world with dreams of becoming stars, real or fake talent scouts...

Guan Chen thought of the foreigner named Holly whom he met the last time he came here. Perhaps by the time he stood in front of him next time, he would already be a serious actor.

"arrive."

The company that produced "Police Story" is a large company, and together with nine other large companies, it is called the "Big Ten", "Big Ten".

As usual, the first thing you see when you enter the house are the works produced or participated by this company. Movie posters cover the entire corridor, but unlike the posters of the "Black Dragon" production company, the posters here really highlight the big companies.

The background and strength of the film. Many posters have golden words on them, indicating which film festivals the film participated in and what awards it won. Some even won awards at the [Golden Bull Awards] award ceremony, with little golden cows painted on them.

Guan Chen stood in front of the poster and sighed, looking at it until he was pulled away by Qian Liangyi.

Walking inside, the environment inside is simply huge and vast. Everything from the chandeliers to the trash cans is full of design. Almost everyone on the staff has a calm and unhurried demeanor. Several foreigners seem to be here for inspection and study.

When he arrived at a place, he took notes respectfully. Guan Chen also saw two or three filming teams carrying cameras, filming something everywhere. When he inquired, they were filming a documentary, not a documentary about a certain star or a certain movie.

It's a documentary about this company.

The production company of "Black Dragon" looks like a small workshop compared with this one.

"Are you here to discuss cooperation?" When the filming team saw Guan Chen, they immediately focused their cameras on Guan Chen as if they were attracted by a magnet.

"We are here to negotiate." Guan Chen nodded and slowly crossed his arms.

Qian Liangyi's eyelids twitched and alarm bells rang in his heart. He hugged Guan Chen like a manager and dragged him away.

Unexpectedly, the filming team actually started running together and followed Guan Chen and the others into the elevator.

In the elevator, the documentary director asked Guan Chen with interest: "What are you here to negotiate?"

Qian Liangyi hurriedly answered before Guan Chen could speak, saying that he was participating in a re-examination for a role.

The documentary director asked what film project he was participating in and followed Guan Chen and the others out of the elevator.

Qian Liangyi squinted his eyes, smiled as kindly as Maitreya Buddha, and invited the other party, "Our project is "Police Story" with Zhang Jingsheng participating. If you are making a documentary for the company, how can you miss this movie?"

After hearing this, the documentary director felt that this was indeed a good suggestion, so he took out his mobile phone and reported the plan to his superiors.

"With a camera recording, the process can be more or less transparent. Even if there is a small possibility of success, we have to fight for it." Qian Liangyi explained to Guan Chen in a low voice.

Guan Chen thinks Qian Liangyi is very wise and very good.

"It's all for the studio!" Qian Liangyi looked righteous.

In order to keep Guan Chen in the capital, he tried his best.

With the documentary team who was impressed, they walked towards the conference room together with great momentum.

The waiting staff were a little surprised, wondering where Guan Chen came from, and he even brought his own photography team.

When the producer of "Police Story" came out of the conference room, the documentary director asked for the producer's opinion and asked if he could go in and film and record the entire re-examination process. The producer wanted to refuse, but the documentary director smiled and said that they got

The filming permission means that everything that happens in the company can be filmed. As for what is classified as confidential and cannot be included in the feature film, you can consider cutting it out in the later stages.

The last documentary director.

Guan Chen was left outside the door.

Qian Liangyi's statement is that actors do not come off set to negotiate contracts, as these are the jobs of their agents.

Only Qian Liangyi himself knows what he actually thinks.

Guan Chen was taken downstairs by the staff and entered the so-called screening room, where he watched movies produced by the company with tourists.

Qian Liangyi entered the conference room and prepared for work.

There were only a few people sitting at the huge long mahogany table. Qian Liangyi recognized Director Chen and the screenwriter, as well as the producer and several producers.

Before going to Beijing, Xie Jinzhu told Qian Liangyi that although director Chen, screenwriter and Zhang Jingsheng all strongly recommended the use of Guan Chen, not everyone in the crew was as optimistic about Guan Chen as they were. Some well-informed people had already begun to target Guan Chen.

The character Wu Ze launches an offensive.

Therefore, the main purpose of Qian Liangyi and others this time is to convince the supervisor and several producers that using Guan Chen is the most cost-effective.

Filmed by the documentary team, the negotiations officially began.

Although Qian Liangyi was not a powerful agent, he was at least a qualified agent. He began to talk about Guan Chen's advantages, trying to add weight to Guan Chen and try to get as much pay as possible.

"He has few works and has not won any awards. His level is still unknown. A salary of two million is too exaggerated." A male producer shook his head and tried to lower the price, "Five million."

Qian Liangyi said calmly: "Everyone must know Guan Chen's level after watching his performance in the audition, otherwise he wouldn't be called here in this situation."

In fact, Qian Liangyi didn't know Guan Chen's acting level at all, but the junior brothers and sisters that Xing Yan threw over, although they all have their own weird personalities, their acting ability and talent are really good.

On the side, a female executive producer who had witnessed Guan Chen show off his strength during the audition said that indeed, Guan Chen performed very well during the audition, but the problem is that it has been two months since the audition day.

I don’t know if Guan Chen’s condition is still at the same level as that time. Moreover, their script has been changed compared to two months ago. What they need now is actors who can immediately start filming. I don’t know how long it will take for Guan Chen to regain control of the role.

.

When Qian Liangyi faced this problem, he did not give a long explanation. He just took out a stack of paper from his bag.

This pile of paper is bloated, with countless small slips of paper mixed in, and colorful tapes on the edges. Each page of paper droops listlessly, with rough edges, and a piece can be broken off with a little force, almost degraded

Restored to the state of tree bark.

The female producer's heart skipped a beat and she thought of a possibility.

Qian Liangyi's words confirmed her guess, "This is the script from two months ago." Qian Liangyi carefully placed the script with "Police Story" on the cover in front of everyone.

"Until you called, he was still reading the script." Qian Liangyi pulled out a small, fresh piece of paper from the bottom of the script. The small piece of paper seemed to be torn from another notebook. The content was

This is a new idea that Guan Chen recorded yesterday when he participated in the reading of the script of "Black Dragon".

The screenwriter and Director Chen were moved when they felt Guan Chen's dedication to the character. They carefully looked at the traces on the script and looked at each other from time to time, showing expressions of surprise.

The male producer was silent for a moment and said that the role of Wu Ze has action scenes, and some of the other candidates have been training, some have already made action movies, and have a foundation in kung fu. Compared with these people, Guan Chen

But there is no advantage.

Qian Liangyi remained unhurried, took out a mobile hard drive from his pocket and asked where there was a computer.

The staff immediately brought a laptop, inserted the hard drive, and under Qian Liangyi's command, opened a file.

Then everyone saw that the video was shot at a training ground.

Guan Chen appeared in the scene. At first, he was a thin man, playing in front of the wooden mannequin like a fool, hitting sandbags every time, and then resting for a long time.

However, one picture after another passed by, Guan Chen's body became stronger and stronger, and his fists hitting the sandbags became more and more powerful. Later, he started to fight with people directly.
