    Sitting opposite Brother Xiaosha, Gao Yan lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. He seemed to think for a moment, and then said: "The American film industry is different from that in China. They implement a producer-centered system, which means  , when the producer has a good idea, he will find a suitable screenwriter to write a script, or buy the idea and find a screenwriter to adapt it. Then he will take the script and find the director, and finally hand over the script and director's information to the major companies.  The film company is looking for investment and finally looking for actors." After blowing out a puff of white smoke, Gao Yan said emphatically: "What does this have to do with me suddenly mentioning signing a contract with CAA? Because most of these producers are owned by CAA, and so are the directors.  , the same goes for stars. In this way, the old adage that wealth should not go to outsiders is fulfilled. From producers, directors to actors, even screenwriters, photographers, makeup artists, composers, a movie needs  Almost all the people can be found within the CAA company, and the job opportunities are all given to their own people in the company. In this way, an interesting and terrifying thing happened! " He snuffed it out with a light cough!  Cigarette Butt said solemnly: "That is, as long as there are movies or TV series signed by CAA's producers and directors, then other more important roles must also be signed by CAA. They don't need outsiders at all, and outsiders don't need them either.  I can't get it in at all." At this point, he could clearly see someone's eyes shrinking, and a look of sigh and understanding flashed across his face.  So he showed a wry smile and said: "I have been wondering before now why you are so famous in Asia, Europe and the United States. In terms of popularity, you can be considered a quasi-A-list actor. But no Hollywood company has ever contacted you.  After all, with that show in New York, your box office appeal should have been reflected." Brother Xiaosha remained silent, but his expression relaxed. Gao Yan glanced at him and continued: "I couldn't find him.  I didn't know the reason, but I had a phone call with Wu Yusen the day before yesterday. When I was about to hang up, he suddenly asked me if I had any ideas about joining CAA. He also told me a little bit about the situation and then asked me to think about it first.  Let's discuss it with you" "If they represent my film business, how much will the remuneration be divided into?" "5%ah? You" Gao Yan answered subconsciously, and then suddenly realized.  He came over and asked in surprise: "You, do you really have this intention?" Brother Xiaosha raised the corners of his mouth, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said calmly: "Do you think I should sign the contract? Tell it truthfully!" I am always afraid of telling the truth,  If selfishness is put aside, Gao Yan will of course give the answer directly without any consideration.  That is: sign!  After all, Hollywood is actually very exclusive.  It's not like in China, as long as you have money or a background, you can be popular easily.  In that place, the territory has long been divided between the major entertainment groups + major brokerage companies, and then there are the Directors Guild and the Actors Guild. These forces have already taken over Hollywood. You, a Chinese star, have no connections or connections.  , why do people find you?  Do you really think that a movie cannot be separated from anyone?  Just like CAA, they can find the actors they need internally. Even if they can't find a completely suitable type, can't they modify the script a little?  Isn¡¯t it okay to just buy eggs with the standard?  Yes, someone is so famous now, but he has never been called by Hollywood. That is precisely because he is not required, and because he has not given up the benefits, so no one will take the initiative to find him unless he is willing to go.  Try your hand at small-budget independent films with uncertain futures.  So, if you think differently, for example, if he had signed a contract with CAA  Gao Yan didn¡¯t need to think carefully to know that given his talent and popularity, he must have started filming Hollywood movies now, earning at least several million dollars in salary.  Because leaving a popular person like him unused would be a loss for caa!  No brokerage company would do such a wasteful thing.  ¡° Of course, if someone doesn¡¯t care about Hollywood, it doesn¡¯t matter. After all, it¡¯s not like he has no job. Now there are so many scripts in China that he wants to film, and all of them are male protagonists, and at the end of the day, he is also the number one supporting actor.  ¡°Well, the price is not very high, usually between 3 million and 4 million, which is obviously not in line with his status.  At the same time, almost all of those who invited him were low-budget artists. Not to mention whether the script was good or not, the key was the type of story that he found very boring!  He would never accept such a script.  Because he knows very well that there are not many domestic movie fans who like to watch literary films. Not only does this kind of movie not look good, but more importantly, it is difficult to prove its box office appeal, except for die-hard fans., who the hell would watch a depressing or gloomy art film?  If you have this time, you might as well watch a commercial movie with a lot of fighting or a lot of fun!  Precisely because of this, it is really difficult to participate in the filming of several movies in a year in the domestic film industry. There are not many opportunities at all.  When you think about it carefully, you will realize that there are only less than 10 major commercial film directors in China, and they basically have their own regular partners or favorite collaborators. In this way, it is left to  How many more chances does Tang Xiaosha have to star?  It seems that you really need to join CAA!  When the time comes, there will be one Hollywood movie, one domestic movie, and one album a year. The rest of the time will be to participate in various endorsements, accept awards and other activities, oh, and take vacations.  Gao Yan thought of so many things at the same time that he even forgot to answer Brother Xiaosha¡¯s question until he raised his voice again and asked: "Brother Yan, do you think I should sign?".  He came to his senses with an 'ah' and quickly replied: "You should sign! It's just a movie contract anyway. We are not good at this, so we might as well leave it to them to help, and the 5% share is not heavy, so even if you  One day, they received a salary of 20 million US dollars, and they only took away 400,000. It was definitely worth it. "Is this the only reason?" Brother Xiaosha said calmly: "I want to hear everything about you.  After all, this is a very important decision!¡± Gao Yan blinked, suddenly smiled bitterly, and sighed: ¡°The most important thing is that you didn¡¯t go to Hollywood to hang out.  The salary cannot rise. You can't ask for a sky-high price, like Zhou Yunfa, who gets a salary of 10 million US dollars, or acts with zero salary, but can get 20% of the box office dividend." He said rather helplessly: "It's like.  It¡¯s the same this time. Your salary does seem to have increased, but when converted, it¡¯s only about 7.5 million, which is still two episodes. In fact, it hasn¡¯t increased much at all. It¡¯s about the same as Jin Chengwu¡¯s salary!¡± He paused: ¡°And Zhou Runfa¡¯s salary!  How much is the salary? 5 million US dollars + box office dividends! Liang Chaowei's is 3 million US dollars, which is three times as much as yours. The gap is really huge. How can you be considered a real international star?  I actually didn¡¯t want to sign this contract at the time. "Haha, I¡¯m not a newcomer. I haven¡¯t proven myself in the film industry. Why would anyone pay me a high price?"  He can barely be considered an international star, but the question is, where does the word "international" come from?  A Grammy, the Internet, and a performance in New York. These three aspects have nothing to do with the movie!  In the film industry, he is still a young newcomer.  Gao Yan nodded and said: "It is precisely because I took this into consideration that I pinched my nose and admitted it. After all, Wu Yusen is also an internationally renowned director, and the investment in this movie is huge, so I should give him a face."  , just mess around with your qualifications!¡± At this point, his tone changed: ¡°However, we must also see a problem, that is, the pond in the domestic film industry is still too small to accommodate so many big fish.  In addition, there is an underlying concept that has been formed for a long time. If you have not worked hard in Hollywood and made a splash, then others will not recognize your so-called "internationality". Just like Zhang Ziyi, she did not achieve anything before going to Hollywood.  With the title of 'International Chapter', is her salary so high? Can she compete with Gong Li?" After saying so much, he had to stop and take a breath, and then concluded: "So, go to Hollywood.  Let's have fun! With your appeal and healthy personal image, I believe you can definitely get a salary of at least 3 million US dollars. If domestic movies invite you again, you can also ask for Hollywood treatment. "  It¡¯s funny to say that he is obviously the most famous and the most famous active Chinese entertainment star in the eyes of young people in Europe and the United States (this is the result of an interview and survey by ABC TV in the United States). However, he participated in a large-scale production worth 85 million US dollars.  I only received a salary of 1 million US dollars, and it was for two episodes together. This number is almost embarrassing to tell!  Well, if the role of Zhao Yun is just soy sauce, similar to a cameo, then 1 million US dollars would be reasonable. But in fact, Zhao Yun's role is very important, and almost all of it is war scenes. This is tiring, dangerous, and at the same time a low price.  , if this situation is not changed, Gao Yan, the agent, must be extremely unqualified.  "Are these the reasons?" Brother Xiaosha looked at Gao Yan steadily and asked, "Is there anything else you want to add?" The latter also looked at him levelly and said without hesitation: "There are two more points. First,  , you must sign with the US headquarters, not their domestic office. Second, they are only responsible for your Hollywood movies.Career, I believe I can continue to be competent in China!  " Brother Xiaosha laughed: "Okay, then you go to negotiate!  If necessary, we can give them a few more points in the remuneration share!  " "How many more points?  "    "yes!  " He slapped the table and laughed loudly: "With so many of our requests, they will definitely not agree to 5% commission, but if we give a few more points, they will consider it carefully!  " Gao Yan also laughed, nodded and said, "I understand!  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
