Chapter 547 Why are you pretending to be stupid with me?
"Well, what''s wrong?"
"Well…"
Li Lianjie looked at Chen Qi and swallowed: "I mean, can Brother Qi improve me a little?"
"Oh, you want a salary increase? How much do you want to increase?" Chen Qi said with a smile.
"I have to be equal to Andy Lau. He got 200,000 for filming "The Frog Prince"."
"How do you know Andy Lau got 200,000?"
"I heard that!"
"Who said that?"
"I…"
Li Lianjie shut up because he couldn''t answer.
Chen Qi sat on a chair and said: "Liu Dehua''s salary is not 200,000 yuan. When he joined the company, he signed an 8-year rookie contract. The contract stipulates that we will not give him a high salary, but if the movie does well at the box office, he will be compensated in the form of bonuses." Some.
Tsui Hark made money because we invested in his studio. He used his technology as a shareholder and was considered a partner, and he was able to act alone and run his own show.
You want a salary increase, what do you think my salary is? "
When he didn''t speak, Chen Qi continued: "I''m in my early 80s, a few dollars less than you. Your working relationship is in the martial arts team. You get the salary standard of the martial arts team, and I get the salary standard of state-owned enterprise cadres. You should know better than me." "
"I know…"
"What do you know?!"
Li Lianjie said something, but Chen Qi interrupted, and his tone became stern: "You entered the system at the age of 11, and it is not up to me whether you will be promoted or not! I am just seconding you here. I am within the system, and I am responsible for everyone at Dongfang Company." The personnel have done their utmost to be kind and righteous.
The standards are different between the two places.
I have always used bonuses to supplement you, you have it, they have it all, and the subsidies in Hong Kong have not stopped.
You know how much you took, so to speak, he took 10,000 yuan, and there was a monthly subsidy of several hundred Hong Kong dollars. What concept is this that you have no idea about? If we really want to expose the mainland department, our entire company will be found out and criticized. Why are you pretending to be stupid with me? "
“…”
Li Lianjie took a step back, his face turning red and white. Of course he knew it, better than anyone else.
"If you don''t want to stay, you can. We will terminate the secondment and you can return to your martial arts team!"
"No, Brother Qi!"
Li Lianjie became anxious when he heard this, his face turned even paler, and he hurriedly said: "I want to stay! I want to stay! I don''t want to go back to the martial arts team. I know you have been very good to us."
"You don''t want to go back?"
"Don''t want to, don''t want to!"
"snort!"
Chen Qi snorted and continued: "Zhong Chuhong is so popular now. She can get 300,000 yuan for taking roles outside, which is several times less in the company. Like Liu Dehua, she signed the contract like this, not giving high salary, just Give a certain bonus as compensation.
Because I am the only one in Hong Kong who dares to say that my film will definitely be popular! I guarantee that my actors will become famous. We don’t care if you receive low wages internally, shoot commercials, commercial activities, or take on external dramas.
Of course, the current problem is that as long as you join the left wing, other companies will not dare to film with you. But don''t be anxious, everyone, don''t be anxious. When I kill all the opponents, you will have more space. "
Li Lianjie''s heart shuddered when he heard him lightly say the word "beat to death."
"You are different from Zhong Chuhong and the others. You have to wait for the mainland environment to change, but it will be soon. Reforms are already brewing this year..."
Chen Qi could say this without blushing.
According to the historical trajectory, Andy Lau will be exploited by TVB for several years and will be hidden in the snow. Zhong Chuhong will not become the most popular female star until the mid-to-late 1980s... He has already made many people famous in advance.
Besides, he can kill the opposition really quickly.
The current system in Yindu and Dongchang is very screwed up. It has the attributes of both a studio and an agency. When the rightists are finished, they will increase the business of artist agency, and the stars will film their own movies cheaply, and then go outside. make money.
Li Lianjie was scolded, and he didn''t dare to mention it again, so he left in despair. He was really afraid that he would be sent back to the martial arts team and everything would be in vain.
"..." Chen Qi looked at Li Lianlian''s back. He had no filter for this man. His life had been planned long ago. He was forced to die within the system - it was already the end of his benevolence.
…
A few days later, the filming of the martial arts part of "Deadly Express" began.
It was also the first time for Yuan Kui to try this style. While experimenting and filming, the mainland martial arts actors gave him a great surprise. Practicing martial arts since he was a child is indeed different. Relatively speaking, Yu Rongguang was born as a martial arts student in Peking Opera, and he has many things to correct.
It’s almost October, and The Voice is coming to an end.
This morning.
Bob Shea walked out of Kai Tak Airport after a long flight, carrying a big bag.
He informed Chen Qi in advance, thinking that someone was coming to pick him up, but there was no one there. He couldn''t help but curl his lips: "He is really like an American. He will take revenge at the slightest opportunity!"
No one picked me up, so I had to find a hotel by myself, and then go to the Clear Water Bay studio. I looked at the high-rise buildings and busy traffic along the way. I was amazed: "China is not completely backward. Hong Kong is somewhat prosperous. Speaking of which, does Hong Kong belong to China?" ?”
"It''s British now, but it will be difficult to say in the future!" The driver knew English.
"I heard you are negotiating?"
"They are negotiating. What does it have to do with us?"
"Who do you want to win?"
"What did I say have to do with us? Will it affect me thousands of dollars a month? Damn you!" the driver cursed in Cantonese.
Bob Shea didn''t understand and continued to look out the window.
A few months ago in Los Angeles, he made Chen Qi unhappy. After filming his B-level movie, he rushed over.
He admitted that this Chinese was so good at fighting! "Orphan" was released in the United States and took in 26 million at the box office, making it a minor hit. "Life is Beautiful" was screened in a few screenings and received a huge reputation, pointing to next year''s Oscars.
Even if I have been in the industry for 20 years, I can’t compare.
Americans are habitually arrogant, but when it comes to money, they must also understand the world.
"Didi!"
The taxi drove to the gate of the studio and was stopped. The guard saw that he was a foreigner and asked in English: "Sir, is there anything wrong?"
"I''m looking for Chen! We made an appointment."
The doorman made a call and came out after a while and said, "You can go to Studio No. 3."
"Thanks!"
Bob Shea walked in, and this time someone finally answered. Chen Musheng ran over and led him to Studio 3, saying: "We are filming a modern action movie, so don''t make any noise when you go in."
"Of course I understand, we are peers."
"Have you ever made an action movie?"
"There''s fighting in every play I make!"
Bob Shea thought the other party was a bit funny. He thought he was a country bumpkin. When he entered the studio, there was only bright light in the middle of the studio and some darkness around him. It was arranged like a supermarket, with various shelves and merchandise on display.
Four or five people were fighting.
When he saw Li Lianjie kicking a bald man over, he dodged an axe, picked up a screwdriver, and thrust it into the other person''s eye (for post-production editing), and then pulled out a tape measure, dexterously He went around behind him and strangled a guy to death...
The whole set of movements was smooth and seamless, as if dancing rhythmically amidst the blood and coldness.
"Click! OK!"
A man with a big face who looked like a director shouted, and several actors got up, not blushing or out of breath, and continued filming the next scene as usual.
"God!"
Bob Shea couldn''t help but shout. He had seen Bruce Lee''s movies and thought they were the kind of roaring action movies. But it turned out to be like this. This is an action movie that is ahead of its time in Hollywood!
