Chapter 489 There Is a Prerequisite for Everyone to Love Someone
Seeing that the two actors responsible for the jokes also signed the sequel contract, Li Changheng smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, I will try my best to reduce the cost of the movie because I don't want to be laughed at.
But I guarantee that after the box office exceeds the cost line, your bonuses will be at least equal to the salary.
If the profit exceeds 500,000 pounds, then your bonus is twice your salary.
Moreover, with my net worth and ability to make money, you should believe that I have sufficient qualifications and credit to fulfill my promise to you. "
The main members of the entire crew suddenly thought of the young man in front of him, but he was estimated by the media to be a super boss with a net worth of 1 billion US dollars.
With the bonus and the excitement of the 5-minute rough cut just now, the entire crew immediately changed from their previous state of laziness and indifference, and really started to work seriously and with all their strength.
After leaving the villa with Li Changheng's arm in her arms, Annie smiled and said in a low voice, "These guys will definitely hate you."
Li Changheng smiled and curled his lips, "I call it early investment, and I rely on vision and courage to keep costs down.
And they voluntarily signed, and if they dare to scold me in the media in the future, I will let them understand how powerful big capitalists are in the capitalist society. "
When the crew learns that the boss promises to make a profit at the box office, and the cost line is exceeded, the bonus will be the same as the salary.
Even if they only earn 500,000 pounds, they will send out the profit equivalent to twice the salary of all of them.
Everyone immediately cheered loudly, "Long live Lord Selby".
But if the box office in the future is really as expected by Li Changheng, it is likely to exceed 100 million or 200 million US dollars.
Probably none of these guys would dare to scold him in the media, but they would definitely scold him as Grandet in their hearts.
So the human heart is so insatiable.
If Li Changheng doesn't mention the bonus, this group of people will complain at most in the future, because the whole industry is like this.
You get paid to do your work, and whether you lose money or make money in the future, it has nothing to do with them.
But after receiving the bonus, it would make them feel that Li Changheng earned so much, but only gave them 500,000 pounds, which is stingy and unfair.
It's a pity that Li Changheng's purpose is only to stimulate the work enthusiasm of this group of people.
In the future, except for McCauley, who is difficult to replace, and there are two stupid thieves signed in advance, anyone else can be replaced.
As for Macaulay, after thinking about it for a while, Li Changheng decided to only make a sequel and put the project on hold.
After all, I am not short of scripts that make money in another world, and no matter what accidents happen in this world, there is a high probability that I can make money.
Then he persuaded Jim and Margery to send the little guy to acting lessons, or continue to study according to his own ideas.
In order not to cause Jim and his wife to have other ideas because of the issue of pay and benefits.
When Annie came to a 210-square-meter villa, Annie immediately asked Meryl to bring out the lunch she brought today, just like Annie immediately took credit.
Paella, gazpacho and grilled red sausage.
Li Changheng looked at a pot of steaming paella, smiled and smacked Annie's mouth, and then pulled her to sit beside him.
Regardless of the dining etiquette and those details or rules, a small bowl of risotto was served with a spoon and placed in front of Anne first.
"We still have work in the afternoon, so we won't drink red wine."
Annie looked at Li Changheng with a smile on her face, filled a small bowl of frozen soup for herself, took a sip from a spoon, and nodded in satisfaction.
The two finished their lunch sweetly. Annie, who had never been used to taking a lunch break before, sat on the sofa with Li Changheng and reported in a low voice to the negotiation team composed of lawyers and accountants.
Acquisition of four theaters in London's Westminster borough in progress.
Annie put her head on Li Changheng's chest, and teased with a smile on the corner of her mouth, "The negotiation team under you is completely famous among the upper class in London these days."
Li Changheng chuckled, he himself did not expect that the group of people under him would be so shameless.
However, there are some things that are difficult to tell Annie in full.
While the two were talking, Annie unknowingly fell asleep on his shoulder.
Li Changheng smiled and kissed Annie's forehead, thinking of the French, Italian, Russian, Arabic, and even Mexican dishes he had eaten in a short period of time.
She couldn't help holding Annie's hand tightly with love.
Zhang Tianzhi didn't need to secretly tell him that this little girl was competing with Ruan Mei invisibly, after Li Changheng ate it twice, he understood it.
Although Annie did not cook these dishes by herself, she put a lot of thought and effort into them.
So although Li Changheng didn't have a high evaluation of some dishes, he still pretended to be very satisfied and would eat at least 70% of them.
The days after that calmed down again. During this period, apart from going to Hong Kong and Kowloon to play Ruan Mei for three days during the Mid-Autumn Festival, the entire crew only spent 26 days.
I just concentrated on filming all the scenes except McCauley.
Then the whole crew started to circle around the little guy alone.
Fortunately, not only Madeleine's real mother is there, the little guy has been staying on the set these days, watching the whole process of filming.
And the main actors, director and others, when they are free, why don't they take him to the lake to play and fish.
Or organize those who have no part in the show to have picnics and outings together.
After getting along for nearly a month, and everyone knows whether the movie is good or not, it is largely determined by the 6-year-old child.
And Macaulay's performance determines everyone's bonus.
No, double, or even double.
Even for the two stupid thieves Hawkins and Skerry, whether they can become famous depends absolutely on this movie.
Therefore, after a month, it is impossible for Macaulay, who is well-behaved and sensible, not to get acquainted with everyone.
In addition, the ones who can make the decisions are his favorite Uncle Henry and Aunt Anne, who will bring him delicious food from time to time.
With so many conditions working together, except for the unsatisfactory shooting progress in the first few days.
Afterwards, the shooting slowly returned to normal, and the little guy is indeed very talented in acting.
Madeleine, Jim and his wife, and the parents of the young actor in another world, are like heaven and earth.
Will not interfere with the crew at all.
Of course, this is also related to trusting Li Changheng.
And Li Changheng also took care of the little guy really well.
So before I knew it, the originally planned two-month filming period took only 43 days, and there were only a few scenes where the little guy might get hurt.
"Boss, is there really no need for a substitute?"
Li Changheng smiled and shook his head at director Horn, "I will fasten his seat belt myself, and then we will shoot in sections."
