The content of the contract was just as Assistant Wang said, it was a regular contract with the same contents. An Zhisu focused on Party A's requirements and Party B's benefit clauses.
Party A requires the designer to design at least eight sets of cheongsam for the heroine of the movie, and all the material costs of the costumes will be borne by Party A. Party A does not pay the designer in cash, but gives it to the designer.
One percent of movie box office profits.
An Zhisu was shocked when she saw how the remuneration was paid. Although she was not very clear about the box office performance of Li Chen's movies, even if it only sold a few hundred million, the 1% remuneration was too high.
"Director Li, is this... one percent box office share too high?" An Zhisu asked with a slight guilt.
Li Chen laughed and waved his hands: "Not high, not high. If the movie fails and the box office fails, Miss An will still lose money. This is how I always sign contracts with designers."
Assistant Wang:......
Assistant Wang's temples jumped twice when he heard this. He thought to himself that their director Li was a movie maker. He had made many movies and his acting skills had reached a state of perfection. He really didn't blush at all when he lied.
He has been following him for several years, and none of the contracts he has dealt with have ever been signed like this. If every designer gets a dividend, what else will Director Li and the investors have to eat and drink from the northwest wind?
But he would definitely not say these words. Anyway, the 1% of the box office dividend was taken from Ye Lancheng. Young Master Ye is rich and willful, and they are naturally willing to do a favor.
"That's it..." An Zhisu really didn't understand the rules of this industry, so he nodded in disbelief.
"Well, that's it. If there's no problem, let's sign. After signing, we'll talk about the content of the movie. Only when you understand the content of the movie can you better design the costumes." Li Chen said half seriously and half deceitfully.
.
An Zhisu nodded, said "No problem", and signed his name on the back of the two contracts.
Li Chen then signed his name and gave the contract to Assistant Wang to have him stamp it.
After Assistant Wang went out, Li Chen took out the script from the drawer and handed it to An Zhisu while chatting with her about the general content of the movie. The movie is called "The Princess of the Qing Dynasty" and it tells the story of a Princess of the Eight Banners in the last dynasty.
The story of this princess. This princess was born into the Tongjia clan of Xianghuang Banner, and her real name was Tongjia Ruolan. After the fall of the Qing Dynasty, she fled to Changchun with her family. After the puppet Manchukuo was established in Changchun, she also became a
It’s been a few years.
After the fall of Manchukuo, Japan completely occupied the three eastern provinces, Tong Jiaruolan was invaded by the Japanese. In order to survive, she fell into prostitution and became the top star of Paramount, changing her name to Tong Ruolan.
Although Tong Ruolan fell into prostitution, she was deeply proud and harbored hatred for her country and family, which made her hate the Japanese invaders. She planned to assassinate a senior Japanese general, and during the assassination process, she met the male protagonist who also came to assassinate her.
, the two of them worked together to kill the general.
After that, Tong Ruolan got acquainted with the male protagonist. After learning that the male protagonist was actually an underground anti-Japanese party, Tong Ruolan resolutely joined the anti-Japanese organization where the male protagonist belonged and became an underground anti-Japanese fighter.
Tong Ruolan used her identity to cover up the male protagonist and help him escape from the scene after each assassination. The two cooperated tacitly and had a long-lasting love. They agreed that after driving the invaders out of China, they would get married and have children, and grow old together.
However, things were unpredictable and the male protagonist's identity was exposed. Tong Ruolan gave up her life to save the male protagonist, and finally died tragically in the hands of the Japanese. The male protagonist was able to escape and made great contributions in the Anti-Japanese War. After Japan surrendered,
He became a general, but never married. This is a movie that combines literature and war. It has both the love of children and the righteousness of the country, which vividly embodies the Chinese spirit of that era. Tong Ruolan represents all the misfortunes of that era.
A woman who is worthy of praise and admiration. The script is very well written, An
I can't wait to see the finished movie.
"Director Li, can I know who the male and female protagonists are?" An Zhisu put down the script and asked with great interest. "I have taken a liking to Xia Jingze for the male lead and am in contact with him. If nothing else, it will be him.
His acting skills are spot on and his reputation is great, which meets my requirements. As for the heroine, I don’t plan to decide on it. I will hold an audition in a few days. I hope I can find the heroine in my mind.
Choose." Li Chen did not hide the secrets of these discussions from An Zhisu. They had a confidentiality contract and were not worried about An Zhisu leaking it.
When An Zhisu heard that Li Chen's chosen male lead was Xia Jingze, he frowned and felt very happy for Xia Jingze.
Li Chen looked at her smile and suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He clapped his hands and said, "Miss An, why don't you come and choose someone with me?"
"Ah? Me? I can't do it. I don't understand this business at all." An Zhisu waved his hands repeatedly as if he was frightened, not daring to take on the big responsibility. "You don't need to understand, just follow me and be my adviser. I
You look at the acting skills, you look at the temperament. The heroine I need not only has acting skills, but also has the temperament that can stand out from the mud. You are a designer, and you will have to design clothes for the heroine in the future. Don’t you want to give it to her?
Do you want to choose the best model yourself?" Li Chen asked with a smile. Of course, there is no doubt that every designer needs the best model. Only when the model has the right temperament can the soul of the clothes be revealed.
Especially for cheongsam, not every beautiful woman can wear it. This is the main reason why cheongsam cannot become popular among the masses.
The reason is, after all, there are very few people who are suitable to wear it.
An Zhisu was tempted by Li Chen. After persisting for a while, he still couldn't resist the temptation. He simply gritted his teeth and agreed: "Okay, then I'll be more respectful than obey. When the time comes, I won't be able to help you much. Don't blame Director Li."
.”
"No wonder, no wonder, multiple people have multiple pairs of eyes. After the audition time is confirmed, I will ask Xiao Wang to inform you." Li Chen was very happy that An Zhisu agreed to him.
"Okay, then I'll leave first and won't disturb Director Li." Seeing that the conversation was almost over, An Zhisu stood up and left.
Li Chen called Assistant Wang to come in and send An Zhisu downstairs. Assistant Wang just handed her a stamped contract. An Zhisu put it in her handbag and Assistant Wang sent it all the way to the door of the company.
"Miss An, drive carefully and contact us again." Assistant Wang helped An Zhisu open the car door very gentlemanly.
"Thank you, Assistant Wang. Goodbye." An Zhisu thanked him with a smile, got into the car, waved to Assistant Wang, and drove away.
Assistant Wang watched her car disappear from sight, secretly guessing about her relationship with Ye Lancheng, the president of Shengshi Consortium, and she didn't know what kind of close relationship could make Ye Lan become her, spend hundreds of millions to invest in movies, and even
I am willing to give out 1% of my box office dividends.
One percent, it sounds like a small amount, but it can't hold up to the high box office. You must know that their director Li has always been a guarantee of box office. The lowest box office of the movies he has made is one billion. It means that An Zhisu is just designing eight
If you put on a suit, you can get at least 10 million in dividends, just a lot more. "Spend a lot of money, tsk, I really don't understand the world of rich people." Assistant Wang shook his head and muttered to himself, then turned back to the company.
