Chapter 523: Sharing rights
He Wei hung up the call and turned on his flying mode. He took a candy from the jar and moistened his throat.
“Give him this jar and give me his jar.” He Wei glanced at Xue Yu with disdain.
Xue Yu refused and placed the candy jar on the table. “No, this jar is yours.”
“If this jar is mine, what is it if you take it without telling me? You took my things without my permission and even opened it to eat first.” He Wei found a seat and placed his phone on the coffee table.
Xue Yu looked at the jar.” I’ll return it to you now!”
Yun Xiangxiang facepalmed.” Senior brother, can we be more presentable?”
“I’m tired of staying outside Tiantian. There are no outsiders here. I want to let myself go.” Xue Yu’s skin became thicker and thicker.
Yun Xiangxiang felt that he deserved to be abused, but she did not abuse him. Instead, she changed the topic and asked He Wei.” Brother Wei, have you been so busy lately….”
Yun Xiangxiang felt a little embarrassed when she asked this question. It was as if she did not pay attention to it. In fact, there were too many things that an agent had to worry about for an actor. The more leisurely an actor like Yun Xiangxiang was, the more an agent had to carry the burden for her.
“I’m used to it.” He Wei glanced at Xue Yu. He had experienced such situations before.” It’s nothing, don’t take it to heart. This is my responsibility. They just want to take advantage of the situation now.”
“Take advantage of the situation?” Yun Xiangxiang didn’t understand.
“Your value must have increased by now, but the exact price hasn’t been revealed yet.” Xue Yu was a wily old fox, so he naturally understood.” These people are people who have some friendship with Brother Wei. It’s easy to talk to them when they have a favor to ask.”
Yun Xiangxiang suddenly realized that they wanted to take advantage of this ambiguous situation to get a low price to cooperate with her.
“After the price is clearly marked out, it’ll be fine, right?” Yun Xiangxiang asked.
“Yes.” He Wei nodded.” There must be a lot of people looking for you, but they won’t swarm here like this. They’ve all thought it through, calculated it, and then came to ask.”
“Brother Wei, I just told director Wei the address. I didn’t ruin your plan, did I?” Yun Xiangxiang was a little uncertain.
At this time, they needed someone to put a price on Yun Xiangxiang. Of course, the pay would not be disclosed to the public, but the industry would give them a rough range. Obviously, it was not good to find acquaintances at this time.
“It’s not his first day in the industry, don’t you understand?” He Wei drank a mouthful of water. “Since he’s willing to come, he’ll definitely make a profit.”
“He definitely wants to officially announce that you’re the female lead of his new film at this time.”
Xue Yu could also see through Wei Shanwen’s thoughts. “Which piece of news that has anything to do with You isn’t Hot? If you weren’t filming, who knows how many reporters would surround you, let alone the official announcement. When the time comes, you’ll repost the news, and it’ll be the best promotional advertisement.”
Yun Xiangxiang’s two films had been released at the same time in China and abroad, and Huan Yu century entertainment had increased the promotional fees. She reported the latest news of the two films every day, and the data refreshed every day, so that the domestic audience could intuitively know how popular Yun Xiangxiang was.
In addition, there were no popular television dramas now, and no one was diverting. It was simply taking advantage of the right time, the right place, and the right people.
Compared to those media reports, those who liked Yun Xiangxiang and those who followed Yun Xiangxiang because of the film now believed in her own response more.
“Then how does Brother Wei plan to discuss with director Wei?” Yun Xiangxiang asked. She had to have some understanding of herself.
“Jiu Se has already set a precedent for you to split the profits.” He Wei was most satisfied with this point.” Jiu se has agreed that if the box office sales exceed 1.5 billion, you will have the right to split the profits. Now, Jiu Se’s box office sales for the first week are close to 700 million. If we calculate the average weekly sales of 300 million, it will be 1.6 billion.”
Therefore, it was inevitable that the total box office of Jiu se would exceed 1.5 billion. However, if it was to exceed 2 billion, it was unlikely that it would surpass the king’s plan and university dream.
Yun Xiangxiang had met du Changrong in Jiu Se. Du changrong had to personally handle du Changrong’s script. In many aspects, he had the right to speak.
In fact, the company did not agree to split the profits in the beginning. It was very difficult for an actor to reach the point of splitting the profits. Yun Xiangxiang was so lucky to have met Du Changrong’s temper.
He insisted on agreeing to Yun Xiangxiang to split the profits. If Huan Yu century entertainment insisted on not doing so, wouldn’t that be cheating his own actor?
In the end, the company could only put forward a request at that stage. They felt that it was impossible to meet, and that was to have the right to split the profits only if the box office sales exceeded 1.5 billion.
The figure of 1.5 billion was won over by He Wei. Originally, it was 2 billion. After all, Yun Xiangxiang had “University Dream” in the lead.
After a fierce argument, the board of directors agreed to split the box office earnings of 1.5 billion.
Then, Yun Xiangxiang officially entered the distribution rights for the film. However, this was the first film. In order to stabilize this distribution rights, there had to be a second film, and then a third film. This allowed them to form a perception that Yun Xiangxiang wanted the distribution rights.
“Brother Wei, Director Wei, you were the one who deliberately pulled the strings for me, right?” After Yun Xiangxiang heard it, she suddenly recalled it.
Wei Shanwen and He Wei were good friends. At that time, it was He Wei who brought Yun Xiangxiang to interact with Wei Shanwen.
It was easy to negotiate terms between good friends. At this juncture, Wei Shanwen would definitely be willing to give Yun Xiangxiang the right to split the profits while Yun Xiangxiang guaranteed the box office.
“Jiu Se” was an investment from Huan Yu Century Entertainment. The company gave Yun Xiangxiang the right to split the profits. It could be said that they were supporting their own actor.
In order to stabilize Yun Xiangxiang’s right to split the profits, they had to start with a film that was not funded by the company. Wei Shanwen was the person He Wei had arranged.
“I understand now.” Soar to the sky”Is not an incomplete script. That’s why it doesn’t want to talk to me in detail.”
Yun Xiangxiang suddenly understood everything. “Brother Wei and director Wei had an agreement before this. If you want director Wei to give me the right to split the profits, director Wei will definitely not be willing. That’s why you agreed to use the results of ‘Jiu Se’ to speak.”
“For the female lead of ‘Soar to the Sky’, it’s true that Wei Shanwen is most interested in you. However, we have a disagreement over the way of remuneration. I’ll let him wait until ‘Jiu Se’s box office results are out before discussing it.” He Wei nodded.
Yun Xiangxiang thought of all the scripts that came knocking on her door. He Wei had gone through them first. Wei Shanwen’s script was no exception.
“Soar to the sky” was indeed the cornerstone that he had prepared for Yun Xiangxiang.
“Thank you, Brother Wei.” Yun Xiangxiang knew that He Wei must have done a lot for her behind the scenes, but now she deeply realized that He Wei probably did more than she thought.
“I can only pave the way. Whether it can be done or not, it still depends on your ability.” He Wei smiled and shook his head lightly.
If Yun Xiangxiang was not outstanding enough, He Wei did not dare to ask for too much. If Yun Xiangxiang’s ‘Jiu Se’ did not succeed, they would not be able to split the profits in the end.
“Fortunately, I did not disappoint you.”
He Wei had planned too much for ‘Jiu Se’ and Yun Xiangxiang.
