Film remuneration sharing

"General Manager Luo, how about a four-million-yuan salary?"

Yu Zheng tentatively asked.

He had just thought it over and finally doubled the pre-determined salary.

Uh!

Luo Xiao was stunned for a moment, but quickly reacted, looking at Yu Zheng and quickly saying,

"Then it's settled."

Four million yuan,

This was four times higher than his expectation!

Although from Yu Zheng's expression, if he were to add more salary, it probably wouldn't be a problem.

But he also knew a saying, which was to quit while one was ahead.

Moreover, this was only the first collaboration, and who could guarantee if there would be future opportunities for collaboration?

If the salary was too high this time, how could they collaborate in the future?

Yu Zheng breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Luo Xiao nod in agreement.

No matter what, Wang Qiang, whom he had taken a liking to, could finally join his crew.

"Hahahaha, since everyone has already discussed it, let's quickly set a time to sign the contract."

Li Tianyang, who was beside them, saw that both parties had reached an agreement and promptly stood up, clapping his hands.

"Okay, then we'll set a time another day to sign the contract."

Luo Xiao nodded.

"Okay, we'll go back and prepare. As for the salary, it will be transferred to the company's account within seven days after the contract is signed."

Yu Zheng said with a smile.

………………

One day later,

Tomorrow Group,

Lanpian Film and Television.

"General Manager Luo, this is the revised script. Please take a look."

Inside the office,

Hu Bian handed the revised script to Luo Xiao, who was sitting opposite him at the desk.

"Hmm!"

Luo Xiao took the script with some surprise. He hadn't expected Hu Bian to finish revising the script in just over a day.

He casually opened the script and carefully read its content.

Time passed bit by bit,

Luo Xiao's speed of flipping through the script became slower and slower, and his mind gradually became immersed in the plot.

After a long time,

He slowly closed the script, looked up at Hu Bian, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

This script, apart from the creative concept being the same as the previous one, had undergone significant changes in all other plotlines.

If the previous one could be called a disaster romance film, then now it could be called a serious disaster sci-fi film.

The current script mainly tells the story of many disasters occurring on Earth due to the sun, and the most sci-fi part is that for survival, humanity built a huge propulsion engine on Earth, intending to take the Earth out of the solar system.

Of course, this is just a simple plot summary. The script also records many plotlines, which are very exciting and captivating.

Just from the descriptions in the script, he had already imagined what the finished movie would look like.

"How is it, General Manager Luo? If you're not satisfied, I can still revise it."

Hu Bian, seeing that Luo Xiao had put down the script, cautiously asked.

"Very good, this script is very well revised. This is it, no more revisions needed."

Luo Xiao patted the script on the desk and shook his head slightly.

He was now eager to turn this script into a movie.

He seriously scrutinized Hu Bian, feeling as if he had unearthed a treasure.

"Let's not talk about the script for now. Let's sign the employment contract first."

Luo Xiao said, taking out the prepared contract from the drawer and pushing it to Hu Bian, who was sitting opposite him.

Hu Bian picked up the pushed contract, opened it, and read it carefully. After confirming that all the salary and benefits Luo Xiao had promised earlier were written in the contract, he directly signed the contract.

"Welcome to Lanpian Film and Television."

Luo Xiao saw Hu Bian sign the contract, stood up, and extended a hand for a handshake.

"Thank you, General Manager Luo."

Hu Bian, seeing this, quickly reached out and shook his hand.

"Oh, General Manager Luo, do I still need to take over Cangxue Games?"

Hu Bian suddenly remembered that the day before yesterday he went to Cangxue Games and needed to write a world framework and character backstories for the game. At that time, after understanding the game, he had no problems with the game's world framework and background.

However,

He had now joined Lanpian Film and Television, and if he were to take over Cangxue Games' matters again, it might be a bit unreasonable.

"About this, you manage your time well. As long as it doesn't delay Lanpian Film and Television's normal work, it's fine. As for how much remuneration you want, that's your own business."

Luo Xiao said without hesitation when he heard Hu Bian's question.

They were all companies within the same group, and if Hu Bian could help, he was naturally willing.

"I understand, General Manager Luo. Then I'll go to Cangxue Games and talk to Xu Yuan, the supervisor there, about this matter."

Hu Bian nodded with some surprise. He hadn't expected General Manager Luo to agree so easily.

He had never heard of such a thing before, where one could work for another company while being employed by one company.

Even if both companies belonged to the same group company, such a harmonious scene would basically not appear.

However, the more this was the case, the more he felt that his decision to join Lanpian Film and Television was very correct.

"Hmm, you go ahead. Oh, by the way, this is your badge and elevator card."

Luo Xiao said, taking out a sealed bag and handing it to Hu Bian. It contained some tools needed after joining the company.

"Thank you, General Manager Luo."

Hu Bian took the sealed bag, then turned and left the office.

Watching Hu Bian leave,

Luo Xiao glanced at the time, then sat in his chair and waited quietly.

Not long after,

The office door was knocked again, and Wang Qiang gently pushed the door open and walked in.

"Are all the things ready?"

Luo Xiao looked at Wang Qiang who came in and asked indifferently.

"General Manager Luo, everything is ready."

Wang Qiang showed a simple, silly smile.

"Alright, let's set off now."

Luo Xiao said, then stood up and walked out of the office.

Just last night,

Director Yu Zheng called him, saying that he could come to sign the contract today, and hoped that Wang Qiang could go back with him to discuss the script's filming details after signing the contract, and then directly set off for filming at the end of the month.

Regarding this,

He thought for a moment and then directly agreed.

After all, Wang Qiang had nothing to do right now, and going to the crew for filming earlier was no problem.

Of course, there was another more important issue, which was that the sooner the contract was signed, the sooner he could receive the salary.

A four-million-yuan salary,

The split between Lanpian Film and Television and the actor was 7:3, with Lanpian Film and Television getting 7 and the company's actor getting 3.

This ratio might seem like the actor's share was small, but compared to other film and television companies' 9:1 or 9.5:0.5 splits,

Lanpian Film and Television's share for actors was already very generous.

Moreover, 7:3 was not the final split. If the actor performed well and made outstanding contributions, the split ratio would also be increased.

For example: 6:4, 5:5.

However, the 7:3 split was the initial split ratio for actors joining Lanpian Film and Television.

And for the four-million-yuan salary, Lanpian Film and Television could get 2.8 million yuan, and Wang Qiang could get 1.2 million yuan.

Of course, this was only the pre-tax income, and the actual amount received would not be this much.

But for Lanpian Film and Television, this was also a very unexpected income, and he believed that General Manager Chen would definitely be very pleased after hearing about this matter.
