Wang Qiang’s Contract

Upon hearing Director Yu Zheng's words, Luo Xiao did not show a happy expression; he first exchanged a look with Wang Bin before smiling and speaking.

"Director Yu, you can state all the conditions at once. This sudden increase in the profit-sharing percentage makes me very nervous."

"Hahaha, there are indeed some conditions. As I mentioned before, if the movie [long journey] is successful, I will continue to invite Wang Qiang to be the lead actor for [long journey 2]."

"Of course, there might be other movies to star in as well, so I wanted to discuss with you today that in the future, when Wang Qiang stars in movies, I hope he will prioritize me."

"This time it is a 1.5% box office share, but afterwards, I will have Wang Qiang film new movies as a partner."

"For future movies, including [long journey 2], I will not pay any salary, but after the box office results are out, I will pay an 8% box office share."

"What do you think of this suggestion?"

Director Yu Zheng briefly explained his thoughts.

Hearing Director Yu Zheng's explanation, Luo Xiao fell into deep thought.

No salary, only a profit share.

This was undoubtedly a risky move. If the box office flopped, it was very likely that the movie would have been filmed for nothing.

But if the box office exploded, the returns would be substantial.

Just calculating based on [demon subduing record], with a box office of over 3 billion, an 8% share would be over 200 million!

Of course, if the box office was average, it wouldn't be a loss either.

So, signing according to this model, as long as the movie produced isn't trash, there is basically no problem at all.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to look at Wang Qiang.

"Wang Qiang, what do you think?"

"General Manager Luo, I think this profit-sharing model is quite good, but whatever you choose, I will listen to General Manager Luo."

Wang Qiang answered.

He was able to achieve his current success thanks to Lanpian Film and Television, so although he felt the profit-sharing model was good today, he would still follow General Manager Luo's decision.

"Since you think that profit-sharing model is good, then we will go with that model."

After hearing Wang Qiang's answer, Luo Xiao made the decision directly.

In fact, whatever decision Wang Qiang made would not have any impact on Lanpian Film and Television.

They only took a commission from the actor's earnings; if Wang Qiang took on a trash movie and ended up with little box office revenue,

then they wouldn't lose anything, they would just have less commission income from one actor.

However, although Lanpian Film and Television hadn't been established for long, they had already signed a number of actors during [demon subduing record].

For example: Jiang Xue and Su Tang from Modu Daxiao…

After [demon subduing record] became a huge hit, these people also gained a certain level of market value.

Moreover, they are also participating in [wandering blue star] this time. If [wandering blue star] also becomes a huge hit, then the market value of people like Jiang Xue and Su Tang will definitely increase once again.

At the same time, those actors newly signed to Lanpian Film and Television will also see an increase in their market value because of the success of [wandering blue star].

By then, the commission income from one actor will be nothing to Lanpian Film and Television as a whole.

"Thank you, General Manager Luo."

Hearing Luo Xiao's reply, Wang Qiang's eyes were filled with gratitude; he felt respected in this interaction.

"Since it has been decided, let's have a happy cooperation."

Hearing their conversation, Director Yu Zheng knew that his proposal had been accepted. He took the prepared contracts out of his briefcase and pushed them to both Luo Xiao and Wang Bin.

"These are the contracts I have prepared. There are two sets: one is the amendment to Wang Qiang's current filming contract, and the other is the contract for Wang Qiang to film [long journey 2]. There are two copies of each contract; you can take a look."

Seeing this, Luo Xiao picked up a contract and began to read it.

Wang Bin did the same.

After a while, the two of them finished reading both contracts.

Luo Xiao put down the contract and looked up at Director Yu Zheng: "Director Yu, there are no problems with these two contracts. This amendment is for the movie currently being filmed, and I can sign it directly in a moment."

"But there's no need to sign the [long journey 2] contract right now. Firstly, [long journey] hasn't been released yet, and we don't know the specific results, so deciding to film [long journey 2] now seems a bit too irrational."

"This [long journey 2] contract indeed doesn't need to be signed right now, but bringing out the [long journey 2] contract today is to show my sincerity."

"Furthermore, I currently have another script in my hands, which is a detective genre. So even if [long journey] is not successful, I still hope Wang Qiang will star in my detective movie. If the response after [long journey] is released is good, then I will immediately get the script for [long journey 2] ready."

"By then, we will film the detective movie first, aiming for a Mid-Autumn Festival release. At that time, the script for [long journey 2] will also be ready, and we will establish the [long journey 2] filming crew again to shoot [long journey 2], finish filming before the end of the year, and release it during the Spring Festival."

With excitement in his eyes, Director Yu Zheng laid out his filming plan for the new year.

And whether it was [long journey 2] or that detective movie, both were very suitable for Wang Qiang to star in.

That was why he wanted to sign the contract as soon as possible; otherwise, if Wang Qiang had other scheduling conflicts by then, he would have to find another suitable lead actor.

Listening to Director Yu Zheng's explanation, Luo Xiao looked at Wang Qiang beside him and sighed inwardly.

This Wang Qiang is really lucky.

Many actors go everywhere looking for crews and aren't even guaranteed to find work.

And before Wang Qiang's new year has even begun, his filming schedule for the whole year is already almost arranged.

"Then I wish Director Yu's new movie a huge hit."

Luo Xiao said with a smile.

"Many thanks for the kind words! And I also wish Director Luo's movie a huge hit."

Director Yu Zheng also laughed along.

Next, Wang Qiang signed the amended contract, and the hotel staff pushed the dining cart with the prepared food into the Room.

The group began to eat while chatting.

…

Time passed, December 20th.

Mingri Group, Presidents Office.

Chen Mo watched the computer screen intently, fingers constantly controlling the keyboard.

On the screen, a person wearing a ghillie suit was lying in the grass, slowly crawling forward.

Behind that person, a few other figures were following, crawling behind.

"Boss Buyu, how long are we going to crawl? There doesn't seem to be anyone around here."

A person's voice came through the microphone.

"Yeah, Boss Buyu, there are only six people left. I have a full squad of four here. There are only two enemies left; we don't need to be this careful, right?"

Another person spoke up.

Listening to the voices in the microphone, Chen Mo remained unmoved, his tone firm.

"That's too risky. The zone is shrinking in 30 seconds, we are still 40 meters away from the safe zone, just crawling over is fine."
