Chapter 403 Signing Actors: Thailand Film Project Launched
"Hello everyone, sorry for the wait."
Su Yang walked into the conference room and said with a smile. Everyone looked at Su Yang with anticipation.
"Please take a seat, everyone. Welcome to Qingyao Media. First of all, congratulations on getting the roles you wanted through this audition. Time is tight and the task is heavy, so we will start filming this drama immediately."
Su Yang said seriously, and everyone was full of expectations.
"Come on, send them the contract."
Su Yang directly asked his assistant to send the contract to them. This was an actor's contract. After receiving the contract, everyone read it carefully.
After seeing the salary in the contract, many people were surprised.
Because the salary is much higher than they imagined. In Thailand, the salary for new actors is very good. Usually tens of thousands of baht is good.
However, the remuneration offered by Qingyao Media is very high.
Ping Haina is the leading actress, and her salary is as much as 5 million baht.
Five million baht, this price is too scary. Looking at everyone's surprised expressions, Su Yang laughed.
"You read that right, this is your pay. Although you're newcomers, in my eyes, being a newcomer isn't a reason for low pay. As long as they work hard, newcomers can still produce good works. I don't know if you know me well. I like to use newcomers the most. We at Qingyao Media don't need your pay. This movie doesn't need your pay either..."
Su Yang said with a smile, feeling secretly happy. It feels so good to use money to hit people. This time it's really a dimensionality reduction attack. It's like a Hollywood giant going to China to use actors.
Normally, actors are valued at $10 million, and Hollywood moguls also offer $10 million. But they pay directly in US dollars, which is a completely different level.
Now Qingyao Media has come to Thailand and it's the same thing. Is 5 million baht a lot for Ping Haina as the lead actress? Remember, 5 million baht is only 1 million RMB. A lead actress in a movie gets 1 million RMB, a salary you probably wouldn't even be able to get for an internet celebrity in China.
"Wealthy and powerful" were the only four words that came to mind for the newcomers in the conference room. A short contract alone had already made them yearn for Qingyao Media.
However, Su Yang did not mention the signing of a contract. Although Qingyao Media had just been established, not everyone could sign a contract. If you want to sign with Qingyao Media, you have to wait until the film is finished.
The filming process was also a process for Su Yang to understand the personalities of these actors. Qingyao Media attaches great importance to a person's character when selecting talent. If you have bad character, no matter how famous you are, Qingyao Media will not even look at you.
In the entertainment industry, it's often just one bad apple that spoils the whole bunch. For an entertainment company, a single artist's misbehavior can severely damage the entire company's reputation.
Therefore, Qingyao Media is very strict in selecting artists. Most of the artists of Qingyao Media now have a good relationship with Su Yang.
The Thai branch also follows this strategy. Future artist selection will be even more rigorous. This is because these artists will not only develop in Thailand, but will also follow Qingyao Media's footsteps and expand into China, Europe, the United States, South Korea, and other countries.
Netflix has now extended an olive branch to Su Yang. After the filming of this movie is completed, Qingyao Media will focus on the project of cooperation with Netflix.
These projects will definitely use a large number of foreign artists, and then the artists from the Thai branch will be able to truly participate in them.
Only then will these Thai artists truly reach the world, no longer confined to the small Thai market. Therefore, artists working at Qingyao Media's Thai branch have far greater potential than those working at Thai entertainment companies.
After Netflix came to him, Su Yang saw a broader path. This path would allow Qingyao Media to grow rapidly in the overseas market.
Earning money from foreigners is considered a real skill. I believe that in the near future, this sentence will be used by countless Chinese netizens as a Chinese saying to praise Qingyao Media.
Everyone carefully reviewed the contract and signed their names. There was no hesitation; this was a collaboration agreement. Everyone would participate in the filming of this film and receive a corresponding salary. Thirty percent of the total salary would be paid upfront, and the remaining seventy percent would be paid directly to them after filming was completed.
The series of procedures were simple, and after signing the contract, the actors soon received 30% of their remuneration from Qingyao Media.
Ping Haina's heart trembled as she looked at the transfer information on her phone. This was the largest sum of money she had ever earned in her life.
1.5 million baht, even 30% is a huge sum of money.
My parents work very hard and earn about 30,000 baht a month. But I work part-time and sometimes I can't even earn 10,000 baht a month.
Thirty percent now equals 1.5 million baht. Once the film is finished, she'll receive the full 5 million baht. While taxes will still apply, for Ping Haina and her family, this sum is enough to transform their lives.
With this money, my family can move to a bigger house. My parents won't have to work so hard, and my brother can go to school peacefully. Ping Haina raised her head and looked at Su Yang with gratitude in her eyes.
"Here's the script, everyone take it home and read it. Go back and prepare. Ask for leave from school if you need to, and report to your families if you need to. If there's anything that requires the company to handle, you can contact them directly. We'll officially start filming the day after tomorrow..."
Su Yang handed everyone their scripts. The entire crew was ready, and now that they had arrived, the entire crew could officially start.
"Boss Su, there's a girl named Jenny coming over. She said you asked her to come to the company."
As soon as Su Yang came out of the conference room, his assistant came to him and said.
"Oh, yes, yes, it's me..."
Su Yang laughed immediately. Thinking of the live broadcast failure yesterday, Su Yang couldn't help shaking his head.
"Walk……"
Su Yang smiled slightly and soon saw Jenny waiting in the company's lounge. Jenny was dressed very pure today. The white long dress made her look very elegant, unlike the heavy makeup she wore last night. Jenny looked even more beautiful at this moment.
"Hi, Jenny, I've been waiting for a long time. Sorry, I forgot to tell the people down there this morning."
Su Yang said with a smile.
"Su Yang, that person at the bar yesterday was really you"
Jenny looked at Su Yang, and then thought about Su Yang yesterday. Jenny still didn't dare to believe it too much.
"Hahaha, yes, I just put on a little makeup yesterday."
Su Yang said with a smile, which made Jenny smile slightly and look shy.
"By the way, did you like the song we sang yesterday? Do you want to try being a singer? If you're willing, my company can help you record the song. Our Qingyao Media was just established not long ago, and we also have a music team. Are you interested in signing with our company?"
Su Yang looked at Jenny. Although writing a song for her was just a spur-of-the-moment idea, now that he thought about it, it would be fun to sign Jenny to his company as a singer.
If that's not going to work, just stuff Jenny into the MENG girl group. It's easy to make Jenny famous. She has a great voice and studied music. If I could make Jenny famous, it would be a great story.
For Jenny, this was also an opportunity to transform herself. By making Jenny famous, she had, in many ways, won over a special group of people. This was especially true in the Thai market, where it would undoubtedly leave a positive impression on Qingyao Media.
If there's a chance, we could make another "Thailand Trainee." We could have a bunch of demon girls as trainees. It'd be a bit harsh, but it's also pretty fun. The world's first all-demon group would also capitalize on the popularity of DreamWorks.
"Can I really?"
Jenny was very excited when she heard Su Yang's words, and her eyes were full of surprise. She couldn't believe that such a shallow fate had brought her such a great opportunity.
"Sure, why not?"
Su Yang said with a smile, which made Jenny laugh happily. This smile made her two shallow dimples look so sweet.
"Nima, how could it be a modified car?"
Su Yang looked at Jenny and couldn't help sighing. How could it be possible? Why is such a beautiful car a modified car? This beauty is better than a group of beautiful actresses. This beauty, this figure, is really amazing!
