The Fantasy Entertainment Empire

Peng Yu said that he was grateful to his agent, and that was not false at all.

It's a little ridiculous to think about it now. At that time, he was still hesitant about "Glory" and another so-called famous director and big production that had a schedule conflict.

But you can't really blame him.

The director of another project is a well-known director, and he is also an adaptation of a popular IP. Although the investment is not as good as the 800 million yuan of "Glory", the film salary is actually more generous.

At the same time, Dimension Entertainment hadn’t made a name for itself in the film industry at that time. It only had a successful record of low-budget horror films like "Hell Apartment", and had never made a large-scale commercial film. At that time, "War" It hasn't been released yet.

How to choose between these two projects? This is indeed worth struggling with.

If it wasn't for his agent who tried his best to persuade him, he might really choose another project.

But even so, at the beginning, what his agent considered was the value of the 'League of Legends' IP. I just instinctively felt that such a movie adaptation by a national-level IP in mainland China should have relatively good results.

No one would have imagined that "Glory" could achieve such a great success.

After listening to some future work arrangements from his agent, Peng Yuyan nodded and said, "It's all up to you... But, is there any further arrangement for the sequel of "Demacia"? "

"Yes." The agent said, "Dimension Entertainment has already started preparations for the sequel, and the name has already been tentatively decided, called "Demacia: Dragon Blood". You are the first actor, and the other one Chris Evans' role will be much less than yours. However, there will be some other characters introduced in it. In short, your role of Jiawen is still very guaranteed."

"When will you join the group and start filming?"

"It is said that the project has already started, and the script and pre-production have already started, but it seems that the funds have not yet arrived, and Dimension Entertainment is still negotiating with Penguin."

"Funds definitely don't have to worry about it." Peng Yuyan said, "The last film made tens of billions of box office worldwide, so the sequel is still worried about funding?"

"Well, those two are owners who are not short of money. I guess they are talking about the distribution of benefits."

"Then my salary..."

"Don't think about it." His agent was also a little helpless, "When I signed the first film earlier, the remuneration for the sequel was strictly limited in the contract. Drill."

"Is there really nothing to talk about?"

"There's nothing to talk about."

"It's a pity..." Peng Yuyan said, "If I knew it, I wouldn't have signed a limited number of sequels at the beginning, and I also signed a long-term contract for five films! And there are more than five long-term contracts. There is also a salary limit for contract renewal..."

The agent shook his head and said: "It's useless to think about it. If you didn't sign it at that time, Dimension Entertainment wouldn't be able to use you. Their work is obviously going to be filmed for a long time, just like a Marvel superhero." .With the example of Robert Downey Jr. first, they couldn't avoid it."

"That's true..."

"It's already very good now." The agent reassured in turn, "The remuneration given by Dimension Entertainment is actually not low, plus the bonus for the good performance of the film and the 30% increase in remuneration, in fact, the income from filming very nice."

"I understand." Peng Yuyan said, "It's just a pity."

"Well, in the future, I will make up all the proceeds from other films and commercial endorsements. As for the salary of the "Demacia" series, I will talk to Dimension Entertainment again to see if there is any It’s possible to fight for it, but don’t expect too much.”

...

Dimension Entertainment did receive a request for salary negotiation from Peng Yuyan's agent.

In fact, it's not just Peng Yuyan. In the movie "Demacia: Glory", the roles played are slightly more important, especially the actors who played the "heroes" in the original game. Is there any new possibility in terms of pay.

But Dimension Entertainment gave a firm response: Impossible, everything is in accordance with the contract.

This matter is too involved.

If you open this hole for an actor, all the actors will jump on it. The movie is successful, these actors rely on their respective roles, and the lion opens his mouth, so there is no need to make a movie-the money earned to feed the actors may not be enough to feed them.

Dimension Entertainment is not stingy when it comes to remuneration. The remuneration that should be given is enough. After the film is successful, in addition to the contract, the entire creative team is also given a bonus of over 100 million yuan.

Even so, the follow-up actors' remuneration must be limited.

The most perfect situation is to maintain the integrity of the main creative team under the condition of orderly controlling the proportion of actors' remuneration in the total cost. And if it really doesn't work in the future, then from the perspective of Dimension Entertainment, they would rather change actors, or abandon the hero's sequel movie role, and it is impossible to accept a salary of 6,000 for one person like Robert Downey Jr. More than ten thousand dollars.

That was horrible.

Of course, they don't need to worry about this issue for the time being.

After "Glory" achieved great success, Dimension Entertainment immediately launched a corresponding sequel plan.

The new work, the tentative title is indeed "Demacia: Dragon Blood".

The script of "Dragon Blood", and even the script of the third part of the Demacia trilogy, have actually been completed. But now that the movie has achieved great success, a sequel will of course be on the agenda.

The corresponding pre-design work has already begun. The most important of these is the design of the second new main character, one is 'Dragon Blood Warrior Ji Shivana', and its mother, the big boss of the second part, the dragon Iva, this is a dark legend.

Shivana's actor has already been determined. It is a domestic actress, Xin Zhilei.

Xin Zhilei is not considered a beauty star in the traditional sense. She has been mixed up for a long time before, and she didn't look like she was mixed up. But the professional level is really not bad, and he has good performance skills. With the accumulation of works, his reputation has gradually grown.

Of course, Dimension Entertainment chose her to play the dragon girl Sivana mainly because of two factors. One is that Shyvana is a dragon, which must require a lot of makeup and post-production CG technology to synthesize the image. This is more demanding on the acting skills of the actors, but on the contrary, the requirements on appearance are not so high.

The second point is that Xin Zhilei is not expensive and her salary is controllable.
