72 Chapter 72 success

However, it was easy to get money in this industry, but it was hard to get status and fame in the circle.

After winning an award, one would yearn for a higher level. People were like this, always striving for the top.

Further up, there would be old seniors like Chang Yuhu, who had been recognized by the country, and their status had transcended the circle.

Lin xiwen was a little surprised. She clenched her fist and smacked it into her other palm,

“If teacher Chang is willing to help, then there won’t be any problems.”

Hou Xiling nodded.

“I’ve been friends with her for decades. She’ll still sell me this little bit of face.”

After he said that, he glanced at Jiang se.

“Xiaojiang, what do you think?”

Of course, Jiang se would not miss such a good opportunity. She stood up and bowed to hou Xiling. Thank you, teacher hou.

He nodded. Assistant li looked at the time and whispered a few words in Lin xiwen’s ear. Lin xiwen said, ”

if that’s the case, assistant li, please take Jiang se to change her clothes. I still have something to discuss with old man hou.

yes, ” assistant li replied. When she walked out of the audition room with Jiang se, she congratulated her. “You performed very well today.”

Her attitude was different from before. Now, there was a high chance that Jiang se would be acting as ‘doukou.’ Once it was confirmed and Jiang se joined the production team in the future, she would gain a firm foothold in the entertainment industry when the movie was aired. Her status would then be incomparable to what it was now.

I’ve been with Mr. Lin and I’ve seen him interact with teacher hou a few times. This is the first time I’ve seen teacher hou like a junior so much.

Jiang se pursed her lips and smiled.

teacher hou has an easy-going personality. I have to thank sister li for her advice that day.

The two of them conversed as they made their way back to the dressing room. Jiang se removed her makeup and removed her hair. During this time, assistant li received a call. Jiang se came out of the dressing room after changing her clothes. Assistant li walked up to her and smiled while holding her phone.

congratulations, Mr. Lin said that you’re very suitable for the role of ‘doukou’ in ‘Beiping event.’ If there are no other questions, we can sign the contract today.

Although Jiang se was still playing a supporting role in the movie this time, her role was much heavier compared to the previous movies she had participated in. The contract was also different.

Every clause was listed in detail on the contract. When the contract was delivered, Jiang se picked it up and read through it one by one.

Jiang se noticed that this time, the contract stated that she would be playing the role of ” doukou ” in ” the event of Beiping. this was to prevent any problems from arising in the post-production.

Assistant li did not interrupt her. After two cups of tea, Jiang se confirmed that there were no mistakes before she put down the contract explanation.

“I haven’t signed with a management company yet, so I have to read the terms and conditions carefully to avoid breaking the rules in the future.”

Assistant li agreed with her. you’re right. We’ve already discussed this beforehand. It’s best to follow the rules and regulations later.

They then talked about the pay. In this movie, doukou was a supporting character with a lot of scenes, but assistant Li’s expression was a little serious.

“Regarding the remuneration, I think you should be mentally prepared, miss Jiang.”

She opened the contract and looked at Jiang se.

I’ll be direct with you. The company has a fixed amount of investment for every different film.

She took a blank piece of paper and spread it out on the coffee table in front of her. She took a pen and wrote two Arabic words, ”

for example, the company is currently preparing to film ‘events of Beiping’ and ‘Erlang the God quelling the chaos in the world’. If the investment for both films is this amount, then the expenses will be different even if they are the same.

Assistant li paused for a moment.

“In ‘Grand occasion of Beiping,’ the clothes, scenes, jewelry, and so on, you can think of it as about 60% of the money spent on the movie. Other than that, the actors “pay will be counted.”

The actors were also divided into big and small. The male and female leads had more scenes than the supporting roles. In addition, due to their different fame and status, the male and female leads naturally received more pay than the supporting roles.

“Do you understand what I’m saying?” Assistant li asked.

Actually, Jiang se had a rough idea of what she meant the moment she opened her mouth. When she heard her question, she nodded gently.

I understand. Director Lin is a good director who puts his heart into making movies.

To put it bluntly, assistant Li’s words were that although ” events of Beiping ” had a large investment, Lin xiwen had spent most of the money on the film, so naturally, the actors ‘pay was relatively less.

Erlang the God: quelling the chaos in the world ” was a small investment to begin with, so Lin xiwen naturally couldn’t do it too meticulously. At most, she would just borrow this film and enter the market to make a profit, reducing the cost of the film. In comparison, the actors would get a higher pay.

She did understand what assistant li meant, and the latter heaved a sigh of relief.

“It’s good that you understand. So, in terms of the pay, director Lin wants 160000 Yuan. What do you think?”

This amount was already much better than what Jiang se had expected. Once she got her hands on the 160000, it would greatly alleviate her current financial situation.

Moreover, although money was important to Jiang se, she did not see it as omnipotent like other people.

After all, she was born into the Feng family and had no worries about food and clothing since she was young. She did not have a strong desire for money.

The most important reason she chose to act in “events of Beiping” was, as she had said, because of the good script.

In addition, Lin xiwen’s salary was almost the same as the salary of a second-or third-tier star in the industry. No matter how hard she tried, assistant li had already explained the reason, so there wasn’t much room for her to increase her salary. It was easy to attract disgust for that little money.

Therefore, she didn’t have any objections when assistant li reported the number.

Assistant li had wanted to explain the reason for the pay and convince her to accept it.

To her surprise, Jiang se readily agreed before she even had the chance to ask. She smiled and looked at her approvingly.

“Miss Jiang, you’re so forthright, but you don’t have to worry about the price. Mr. Lin’s pay is definitely not bad.”

The two of them quickly hit it off on the issue of the film’s pay. According to the rules of the industry, they would be paid three first, then seven.

Jiang se was still young. When assistant li asked for a copy of her identification documents, she saw that she was still about a month away from turning 18.

Assistant li had a better impression of her now because of her pay. She thought about it and said, ”

to avoid trouble, after we sign the contract, we can sign it a month later. Anyway, the movie would start shooting in January, which was more than two months away. It wouldn’t make much of a difference to delay the contract by a month.

This was to avoid any trouble in the future. Jiang se was not old enough, but she had come to Shang Jia company on her own twice. She did not have her parents with her. She must have her own thoughts.
