Chapter 200 The Strongest Plowing Ox (Rewards and Extra Updates!)
…
It turned out that Wang Bin had always thought that everyone else was drunk but he was the only one sober. People like Zhang Hongbo only followed the crowd and did not understand the true value of Xu Kai at all. They thought too highly of Xu Kai.
Because Zhang Hongbo praised Xu Kai too much, Wang Bin even regretted promoting Zhang Hongbo to be the director of "Escape 2".
It was not until now that Wang Bin realized that he was the ignorant and self-righteous person.
Black and white words with an official seal will never deceive anyone.
The key point is that this is not the price offered to Xu Kai by one crew, but the price offered to Xu Kai by two crews.
That means Xu Kai's current net worth has reached the level of a top-tier first-tier star, at least in the eyes of Lin Da, Yuan Xiaoliang and others.
Moreover, a comparison shows that favors have already been taken into account in Linda's contract, so the remuneration offered by Linda to Xu Kai is not enough to represent Xu Kai's remuneration - what truly represents Xu Kai's remuneration is the remuneration given to Xu Kai by Yuan Xiaoliang, who knows Xu Kai and has a good relationship with him, that is, 15 million plus 20% of the producer's share.
Wang Bin never expected that Xu Kai, who had only made one movie, could have such a high net worth! "Maybe... I still don't understand movies very well."
It's no wonder that Wang Bin would doubt himself. Among the three directors who had worked with Xu Kai, one thought that Xu Kai could be invited to star in "Escape 2" at any cost, and the other two all offered Xu Kai an unbelievable salary.
And there are favors involved - it's not that Linda and Yuan Xiaoliang owe Xu Kai a favor, but that Xu Kai owes Linda and Yuan Xiaoliang a favor.
In other words, Xu Kai's actual pay may be even higher.
This made Wang Bin, who thought he had figured out the secret to making money from movies, suddenly feel a little unconfident.
but--
Wang Bin was not an ordinary person after all. He quickly cleared away the negative emotions in his heart and decisively called Ji Zhaode.
"Wow~ I wonder where the sun is rising today. Producer Wang actually took the initiative to call me?"
There is a reason why Ji Zhaode is so sarcastic.
According to common sense, when a movie sells well, it must be the most glorious time for its protagonist.
But it is not the case with Ji Zhaode.
Although no one has really scolded Ji Zhaode, in the overwhelming reports promoting "Escape", almost all of them were about Xu Kai and Xu Kai's personal deeds, but the name of Ji Zhaode, the protagonist of "Escape", was mentioned.
Even if some media occasionally mentioned Ji Zhaode, they would compare Ji Zhaode's performance with Xu Kai's, and regard Ji Zhaode as a stepping stone for Xu Kai.
Ji Zhaode was no rookie in the entertainment industry, so how could he not understand that the distributor of Escape must have been behind this? In other words, the crew of Escape chose to sacrifice Ji Zhaode's fame and interests in order to boost the box office of Escape.
As the producer of "Escape", it is impossible for Wang Bin not to know this.
Furthermore, ever since "Escape" became popular, the crew of "Escape" has never contacted Ji Zhaode again, let alone invited Ji Zhaode to promote the show. This is the best evidence of his loss of power.
Wang Bin listened to Ji Zhaode's ridicule very patiently, and then said very sincerely: "Brother Ji, you know without me saying anything that the box office is paramount to any crew. So, for the sake of the box office, let alone sacrificing you, even if it's sacrificing myself, I will definitely do whatever it takes."
"snort!"
Ji Zhaode snorted heavily, but didn't say anything else.
This is the naked rule of the capital game. Ji Zhaode understands it, so how could he really keep harping on this matter?
"Then why did Producer Wang come to see me? Do you want to see me make a fool of myself?"
Wang Bin smiled and said, "Brother Ji, what are you talking about? We have been friends for so many years, how could I do such a thing? I came to you because I actually want to talk to you about your role as the male lead in Get Out 2."
"Haha! Aren't you planning to let Yu Qingyun be the male lead of "Get Out 2"? Oh, and aren't you also planning to let him play Yu Lianying's younger brother Yu Liansheng?"
Wang Bin didn't expect Ji Zhaode to be so well-informed, but he was not too surprised. After all, the entertainment industry is so small, and Ji Zhaode is a veteran player, so it's not surprising that he knows several people around him.
"I swear to God, I never thought of letting Yu Qingyun be the male lead. My idea was to let Yu Qingyun continue to be the villain. It was Zhang Hongbo who suggested that Yu Qingyun be the male lead, but I never agreed. In my heart, the male lead has always been you, Brother Ji. Without you, "Get Out" would not be "Get Out". My goal is to create the original cast to shoot "Get Out 2."
After a pause, Wang Bin continued, "However, my goal is unlikely to be achieved now. Lin Da has asked Yu Qingyun to film his movie "The Chase", and Yuan Xiaoliang has become the director himself, with Yu Qingyun also starring. It is obviously impossible for the original team to be reunited."
Wang Bin immediately changed his tone and said, "But this is even better. Brother Ji, you can take this opportunity to make a comeback and prove to the world that you are no worse than Yu Qingyun. In order to strongly support you, I plan to invite one or two Hollywood superstars to play opposite you. Perhaps, this opportunity can also make you an international superstar."
When Ji Zhaode heard this, he was moved.
Furthermore, because his reputation was damaged this time, there were no good projects looking for Ji Zhaode for a while.
So, after pretending to hesitate for a while, Ji Zhaode asked, "How much is my salary?"
Wang Bin gritted his teeth: "20 million!"
…
After Wang Bin left, Yang Xinchun came to Xu Kai's office upstairs.
As soon as the door opened, Yang Xinchun saw Xu Kai, who was only wearing a vest, doing handstands at an incredible frequency.
Yang Xinchun, who also exercises regularly, has seen others do handstand push-ups.
But those men all have to work very hard to make one, and generally speaking, it is very good if they can make ten.
But at this moment, while Yang Xinchun was stunned, Xu Kai had already done more than thirty! Moreover, each of Xu Kai's handstand push-ups seemed to have been measured with a ruler, and the standards were so high that no one could find any fault with it!
The key is that Xu Kai's handstand is fast but not chaotic, full of the rhythm of movement, which also makes Xu Kai's exposed muscles so charming.
After such intense exercise, Xu Kai didn't even break a drop of sweat or breathe heavily.
Yang Xinchun felt a little dry in the mouth after seeing this: "No wonder he dared to open the palace, his body is really good, just like... just like the strongest ox..."
