Chapter 1269: 1276

Cheng Taixi arrived at showbox headquarters in Yisan cave of Jiangnan District at more than eight o'clock, where he was already busy.

The start-up film company, which was named by the man himself, was basically in the charge of the small team where Cheng Taixi had been.

Cheng Taixi is the vice president of Quan Zhengting. In addition to Yuan Xinhui, the wife of Quan Zhengting, five of the six people who passed the test gathered here. They are Cui Zaixian, who has been following Quan Zhengting, Wen lingzhi and he Mindu.

This is a personal decision made by Quan Zhengting after a meeting with Chen Qing.

At that time, Cheng Taixi was also present. Chen Qing gave Quan Zhengting two choices. One is to wait for a period of time to become a senior executive in a financial group. His position is higher than he used to be, but not much higher. Or, it's to run this start-up film company with Cheng Taixi. As long as you do well, you can get shares.

The pros and cons of both options are obvious.

The former is certainly more stable, but with the age and ability of the ruling government, and even with the support of the westero system, it is inevitable to encounter the exclusion of the internal personnel system of the consortium, so the room for rise will not be too high.

The latter is a big risk, and it is a strange field. If it is screwed up, the future is unpredictable. However, if you do a good job and get the stock in the future, the return will be more generous and you will be the same as the boss, which is much better than being an ordinary senior executive in a huge consortium system.

We all know that it's better to be a chicken's head than a phoenix's tail.

In the end, the government chose the latter.

On the one hand, the 146 day fixed quota system of Korean films ensures the living space of Korean films.

On the other hand, even if Quan Zhengting does not believe Cheng Taixi, it is absolutely impossible that he does not believe Simon westero, the super tycoon who has left all the other rich people far behind. He started his career with movies. Since Cheng Taixi is asked to do this, it is certainly not wrong.

As for being unfamiliar with movies, what does it matter?

In the past two years, because of the film quota system, many people in this industry have also not understood it. Just like Li Meijing, the eldest daughter of Li Mengxi, the second generation long house of the Li family of Samsung, in recent years, she jumped into the film and television entertainment industry without knowing anything and established CJ entertainment.

Although not as strong as Li Meijing, showbox is not bad at all in terms of background.

Quan Zhengting also learned from Cheng Taixi that recently, westero system seems to have reached a cooperation agreement with CJ entertainment, but the specific situation is not known.

In any case, we are basically on the same starting line.

In fact, Quan Zhengting left a way for herself, asking Chen Qing to arrange his wife yuan Xinhui to enter sk for a very stable job. Even if he messed up, the family would not fall into the embarrassing situation when Kia just went bankrupt.

The current showbox headquarters is exactly the five storey office building where the small team of Quan Zhengting was stationed. There is no need to change the place.

When Cheng Taixi came to the company, he first had a meeting with Quan Zhengting and other management to discuss the audition in the morning.

In the next few days, auditions will be conducted mainly for the heroines of the two horror films "red lotus" and "strange talk about the girl". On the one hand, the types are similar. On the other hand, the casting targets are all young girls. The age limit is between 16 and 22 years old, and the restrictions will be slightly relaxed for those with special qualifications.

Both films are female horror films, and they need a lot of young actresses. Recently, the audition announcement was issued. Even if showbox required that they must be plain people who can sign brokerage contracts with the company, it still received more than 3000 resumes in a short time.

After preliminary screening, the team selected about 300 people to audition.

It's expected to be busy for at least the next two weeks.

As for the other "the day the pig fell into the well" and "kidnap the dog at the door", they are also in preparation. Just because of the theme, we don't pay so much attention to these two projects with little commercial potential.

In fact, it's still influenced by the two consecutive horror films in Hollywood. Ghost and ghost 3 have also been released in South Korea. Judging from the current box office trend, although they can't rank in the top ten box office in South Korea, the top 20 are more than enough. Therefore, not only showbox side, many companies in Korean film circle are looking for horror film projects recently.

Who doesn't like to be small and broad?

It is almost conceivable that the movie market in South Korea next year will be full of fierce ghosts.

However, compared with a large number of low-quality horror films that many small workshops plan to invest hundreds of millions of won or even tens of millions of won to produce, the "red lotus" that showbox plans to play next year is no small fuss.

Just a preliminary plan, the budget of "red lotus" will reach 3 billion won. According to the general prediction of the outside world, the exchange rate of the won against the US dollar will be stable at about 1500, which is equivalent to 2 million US dollars. Of course, it's a little fuss in Hollywood, but it's a big production in South Korea.

In particular, it's still a horror film. The budget of 3 billion won is not the last one. It must be unprecedented.Because the story is worth the investment.

By analogy, "the rose and the lotus" to South Korea is just like "the ghost of a beautiful woman" to China.

This Korean classic novel tells the story of a pair of sisters who died of being abused by their stepmother in the lake. With the help of an official, they not only redressed their grievances and severely punished their stepmother, but also revived and lived a happy life again.

As early as 1924, "red lotus" was moved to the big screen by the Korean people, and then remade many times for more than half a century, which can be described as the well-known horror of South Korea. In addition, the latest story of the rose and the red lotus is adapted from the modern background.

This is also the basis of showbox's 3 billion won investment.

In comparison, the other three projects, nugaoguatan, the day when the pig fell into the well and kidnap the dog at the gate, have a budget of no more than 1 billion won, while the lowest project, the day when the pig fell into the well, plans to invest only 600 million won.

The 3 billion won investment, according to the current ticket price in South Korea, does not include the investment in publicity and distribution, but also requires 1.7 million movie viewers to recover the production cost.

According to the data standard of 1996, it is equivalent to the third place in South Korea's annual box office list, which is obviously not an easy thing, so we can only expect some overseas gains. Overseas channels are just one of the advantages of showbox, which is backed by the westero system.

It's nine o'clock after the meeting.

The audition on the third floor has already begun.

Cheng did not immediately go to the audition scene, first came to his office on the fifth floor, there is a meeting.

Entering his office on the fifth floor, Yu Meihe, Cui Zaixian's wife, immediately welcomed him, saying that the guests had arrived.

Chen Qing can help Quan Zhengting's wife yuan Xinhui arrange a job, but other people don't have this treatment. Just because showbox is short of people, Cui Zaixian, who is also frightened by the unemployment after Kia's bankruptcy, asks Quan Zhengting and Cheng Taixi to put his wife, who used to be a full-time housewife, into the company. Cheng Taixi accepted each other as an assistant.

Yu Meihe used to be a classmate of Yuan Xinhui's University. Even after years of being a housewife, he could do such a job after a little training.

The key is reliability.

Besides, Cheng did not rely entirely on human feelings. In addition to Yu Meihe, he also hired two other college students who just graduated this year, Lin Guili, 23, from Seoul University, and Gong Zhiyan, a film and television content major from Tanaka University, to form their own secretarial team.

After greeting Yu Meihe, Cheng Taixi nodded to his two assistants and pushed the door into his office.

A woman sitting on the sofa in the reception area saw Cheng Taixi enter the door and immediately got up.

Another greeting.

Li Meishu, 37, is one of the famous Korean actresses in the 1980s. She retired after marriage. A few years ago, she divorced her husband and began to seek a comeback. Unfortunately, it has not been smooth. It was only last year when South Korea implemented the film quota system and the production of domestic films increased greatly that Li Meishu began to get some performance opportunities.

Today is the third meeting between Li Meishu and Cheng Taixi, mainly discussing her participation in "red lotus" and joining showbox.

Although she is 37 years old, Li Meishu's maintenance is no less than that of Cheng Taixi. Some people believe that she is 30 years old.

In the previous audition, showbox, from Quan Zhengting to Cheng Taixi to film director and screenwriter Jin Zhiyun, felt that Li Meishu was very suitable for the role of stepmother in the film in terms of appearance, temperament and acting skills.

Even though the role of stepmother is not decent, Lee Mei Sook, who is very clear about the popularity of the story "red lotus" in South Korea, also knows that this role is crucial for her to regain her foothold in the Korean film industry.

The main difference between the two sides is still the brokerage contract.

Just as Han Yunxiu, Cheng Taixi's sister-in-law, is in charge of the artist agency of JY entertainment, the artist Department of showbox is also designated by Chen Qing to take care of Cheng Taixi himself.

There's an audition going on downstairs. Cheng Taixi doesn't talk too much to each other. After Lin Guili gives her a cup of coffee, she leaves and asks Li Meishu, "master, have you considered it?"

Here comes the reading welfare! You have up to 888 red envelopes to draw! Pay attention to Weixin official account [book store] red packets!

Instead of answering, Li Mei Shu asked, "Miss Tai hee, I heard that you were working in the South Korean headquarters of danylis entertainment in Hannan cave some time ago. Why did you suddenly move here?"

"Because we have set up our own company," Cheng Taixi said bluntly, but he also understood what the other party cared about, adding: "dannilis will also participate in the investment of our project and assist in overseas issuance."

Li Meishu is really concerned about the hidden backer of danielis entertainment behind Cheng Taixi. Although she can't prove the truth of danielis's participation in the investment for a moment, she can't ask any more questions. She nods and turns to the main topic: "Miss Taixi, you know my age. The seven-year contract is too long. I don't know if I can still do this business It will last for seven years. I prefer to sign for only three years. Is that ok? "Cheng Taixi was also clear that what the other side said was true, but he shook his head: "senior, our company will have a good development in the future. At present, every actor who has signed a contract hopes to get enough resources, just like this time's" red lotus ". Seven year contract, we have considered your specific situation, the new is 10 years. Moreover, if you want to have a rest or even stop acting during the term of the agreement, we will not force you to perform. Showbox just wants to ensure that the actors we train will not switch to competitors. "

"Otherwise, five years," Li Meishu still haggled, "I can guarantee that if I continue my career after five years, I will give priority to renew my contract with your company."

Cheng Taixi shook his head: "master, it seems that you have not considered well. In this case, please go back. I still have a lot of work to do."

Cheng Taixi said that she was about to get up. Li Meishu quickly raised her hand and made a blocking gesture. She knew that there would be no follow-up to this "please come back", including the role of "the red lotus of the rose": "Miss Taixi, OK, I'd like to sign for seven years, but is the 30% rate too high? You have worked in danielis, you should know that Hollywood is not good for actors Only 10 percent. "

The two sides met for a total of three times. The first time was an audition and an invitation was sent by the way. The second time is the preliminary discussion of joining, Li Meishu also took a draft agreement here. This time, the other side is still haggling. Cheng Taixi really doesn't intend to quarrel with the other side. In South Korea, there are many actresses of Li Meishu's age who are waiting for opportunities all the year round. Because the other side is suitable, she is willing to spend more time.

Cheng Taixi finally said: "senior, the seven-year agreement, 30% of the Commission, this can not be changed. As for the bonus, you, as a senior, can get 70%. In addition, in the draft agreement you took away before, we promised to participate in films and TV plays at least once a year, which is a guarantee. As for the priority of future contract renewal, this is in the agreement. Maybe you don't see it. I mean, if you're willing to sign up, I can immediately ask the legal team to come and discuss a formal agreement with you, including the actor contract for the red lotus. If you want to bargain, please come back

Cheng Taixi said on this, very clear miss this village does not have this shop Li Meishu, even if still reluctantly, still can only nod.

She also knows how many older actresses in her circle are waiting for such an opportunity.

However, after nodding his head, he still struggled: "Miss Taixi, about at least one chance every year, I think, even if it can't be the leading role, it should be the key supporting role, right?"

The relevant agreement is too general.

If in the future showbox takes any role that is too small to be able to fool her, it will be regarded as an opportunity, and there is no place to reason at all.

Cheng Taixi shook his head: "master, I understand what you are worried about. However, as long as we have a good cooperation, showbox will not take a trivial role to deal with you."

Li Mei Shu smiles bitterly in her heart.

The subtext is that if she is not happy, she will be hidden in disguise.

I have to admit that if she sits in the position of Cheng Taixi, she will do the same, because now she has no bargaining chips at all.

"The last question, Miss Taixi," Li Mei Shu gave up the struggle, and then said, "after I joined, who will be my agent?"

Cheng Taixi said: "for the time being, I am in charge myself."

Li Meishu was worried again.

Even if it's very busy here, it's obvious that the grassroots team.

Li Meishu also found that recently, Hyundai, Samsung and other plutocrats have set up entertainment companies and started recruiting. She has also contacted them. Unfortunately, there is no suitable opportunity for her. Otherwise, signing under those plutocrats will surely be more secure than the grassroots team here.

However, after all, I missed this village and didn't have this shop.

After all, this is the well-known "rose and lotus". Moreover, she has seen the script, which is very excellent. To some extent, it has the feeling of the Hollywood hit "the sixth sense". Cheng Taixi once worked in the South Korean headquarters of danielis, and she also confirmed 100% that the connection would not be false. Finally, she nodded again.
