"being targeted…"

In the elegant tea room of Jingyuan Private Club in Beijing, Chen Guozhi smiled and said to Lu Chen: "You are now a real big tree, do you feel a lot of pressure?"

The owner of this high-end private club is a friend of Chen Guozhi, so this great director often gathers with friends here,

Sip tea and chat or talk about something serious.

Of course not everyone is eligible for his invitation, and this is the second time for Lu Chen to come.

Naturally, the topic of discussion was the filming of "Swordsman".

After directing the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, Chen Guozhi officially became the director of the big movie "Swordsman", but he only agreed to direct "The Sword of Swordsman Out of Huashan", which is the first filming.

For the next two "Invincible in the East" and "The Last Battle", Lu Chen decided to direct himself, and he will act as the action director for "Sword Out of Huashan".

What Lu Chen didn't expect was that before the filming of "Swordsman" started, it would attract the eyes of so many big players in the industry. It is estimated that when "Swordsman: Sword of Huashan" is officially released, they will encounter To multi-party competition and blocking.

It was Chen Guozhi who broke through the key point and gave a kind reminder: "Remember to pay attention to the secrecy of the script. In addition, the company must also strengthen management, especially keep an eye on the crew, and the actors should complete the contract. Don't overestimate the value of some people." moral standards."

As a well-known director, Chen Guozhi has experienced ups and downs in the film and television industry for decades, and he knows the way of it all too well.

You must know that the current big movie investment is easily 100-200 million, the market scale is expanding year by year, and the competition is extremely fierce. In order to beat competitors, many people are not afraid to use outside tactics.

No matter how famous Lu Chen is, in the face of real interests, he can't guard against people with ulterior motives!

Although Lu Chen had filmed a "A Chinese Ghost Story" before, the situation in Xiangjiang and the mainland were quite different, so Chen Guozhi couldn't help being a little worried.

Lu Chen accepted Chen Guozhi's suggestion humbly: "I will pay attention to it, thank you for your reminder."

Chen Guozhi smiled slightly and said: "Just pay attention, I can tell you, someone offered 100 million to let me break the contract with you and film their movie instead!"

One hundred million!

Lu Chen was also shocked. He didn't expect the competition of domestic movies to be so fierce.

Chen Guozhi is a top director in China, and his remuneration is quoted at around 50 million yuan. In addition to the share, he took the filming of "Swordsman" at a friendly price, 30 million + 5% of the box office profit share.

As for the liquidated damages of the contract, it is only a symbolic 10 million.

But a salary of 100 million is really a test. After deducting 10 million liquidated damages, there are still 90 million!

Lu Chen didn't think that Chen Guozhi was making up stories to promote himself, and he understood what the latter meant, and said with a smile, "How about I terminate the contract with you and let you earn the 100 million first?"

Chen Guozhi laughed loudly: "I really want to, but it's a pity that I can't get rid of this old face, so I hope that "Swordsman" can sell him one billion two billion at the box office, and then I will make all of it back!"
