Do I Care About Money?
"Who?" Everyone in the lounge focused their attention on the door.
Everyone knows that Dai Qingying is very arrogant. Most people see it, but at most they only dare to talk about it behind his back.
Dai Qingying is 27 years old this year. She is definitely considered a powerful figure among the younger generation of Hua Dan in China. Not only that, she also has a certain standard in music, at least in terms of professionalism, she is impeccable. In addition, The Dahe culture behind her has fostered her pampering.
The actors who have worked with her actually have strong opinions about this person, including some directors. However, due to her background, no one will give her any displeasure in person, even after seeing the box office of the movie and the ratings of the series. , their unhappiness has disappeared. In the entertainment industry, only benefits are permanent.
As for Dai Qingying's fans, they are definitely a huge force. She has tens of millions of fans on the Internet, known as Dai Jiajun, and they are jealous of the sky and the earth. As long as there are any unfavorable remarks against Dai Qingying, they will The whole army attacked and no grass grew.
There was once an actor who acted with Dai Qingying because he mentioned, intentionally or unintentionally, that Dai Qingying was acting like a big star. The consequences were not too bad. He was captured and secretly photographed by Dai Qingying's crazy fans every day, and his private life became worse. It was such a mess that I ended up suffering from depression and had to fade away from people's sight.
But this is also her ability. After all, there are not many actors in China who can unite her fans so well.
So even the director would not dare to offend Dai Qingying too much! Although Wang Ling, one of their investors, was not afraid of Dai Qingying, he had to take his father's voice into consideration, so the situation became a bit of a dilemma.
This is the first time since the filming of this movie that someone dared to openly challenge Dai Qingying, and even told her to get lost.
"Crack!" Zhang Menglong pushed the door open and walked in. "If I hadn't come here in person, I wouldn't have known that our crew actually had people like this. The forest is really big, and there are all kinds of birds!"
"Mr. Zhang!" The director finally showed an expression of relief when he saw Zhang Mengying. During this period, he had to withstand the pressure from Dai Qingying while also controlling the filming progress. He was really about to go bald. .
He couldn't do anything to talk to Zhang Menglong about the salary increase. But now that Zhang Menglong came to the scene and heard it with his own ears, the pressure had nothing to do with him. After all, In the entire crew, Zhang Menglong is the biggest decision-maker.
"Miss Dai, you can go. I remember your salary is 80 million, and the liquidated damages in the contract are 20 million. If you transfer the remaining 60 million back, we will be settled!" Zhang Mengyu said coldly .
"Mr. Zhang, are you serious?" Dai Qingying could tell that Zhang Mengying's tone left no room for change, and he didn't even have the slightest hint of discussion.
When the 80 million was obtained, Dai Qingying secretly scolded Zhang Menglong for being stupid, saying that his feelings and ideals were all false, and making money was the real thing. This kind of person paid all the money before the movie was even filmed. People are really so rich that their brains are broken, right?
The 80 million yuan has been spent by Dai Qingying a long time ago. Let alone 60 million yuan, she can't even get out 30 million yuan.
But she believed that with her acting skills and her status in the crew, she would definitely be able to convince Zhang Mengyu.
"Mr. Zhang, what I just said was just a joke. As you know, the conditions here are poor, and I only think about it for the sake of my colleagues on the crew." Dai Qingying said.
"Really? How come I heard that someone takes a bath in hot water with milk every night, wants to eat food that can only be bought hundreds of kilometers away every day, and threatens the director repeatedly with not filming?"
"Mr. Zhang, you heard this all. If you don't believe me, ask a few of them. I have never done anything like this." Dai Qingying immediately looked at the actors with threatening eyes.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang, what Sister Dai said is true!"
"Do you think I'm deaf?" Zhang Mengyu said with a smile, "Then what I heard outside the door just now were all said by ghosts?"
This is the first time Zhang Mengyu has seen someone telling lies with his eyes open like this.
"You, you, and you, you can go," Zhang Menglong said without mercy, "I spent so much money to hire you to film a movie, not to enjoy being an uncle. I'm not here to form cliques and keep warm. The salary of nearly 100 million a year is still net income after tax. Once you get the money, do your job well. If you can't do it, then get out!"
"Mr. Zhang, are you going too far by talking like this?" Dai Qingying's face suddenly darkened. She knew that Zhang Menglong was capable, so she did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhang Menglong, "Mr. Zhang, our shooting The plan has been going on for a while, even if you want to change actors, have you considered the time cost and other basic costs?"
"Ye Wenjie is a very important character in the first film. If you replace me, it means that all the previous filming work will be in vain."
"Hahaha, cost?" Zhang Menglong smiled, "You seem to have made a mistake. Do I make movies to make money?"
A trace of doubt flashed across Dai Qingying's face. Isn't it for making money? Could it be that he was busy making movies for fun?
"But Mr. Zhang, if we change actors now, our shooting plan will be delayed by at least one month than the original plan, and the follow-up work of many actors will be affected." The director was a little embarrassed to say.
"Everyone who is still on the crew, including extras and other staff, will have their salary increased by 20% on the original basis. This can be regarded as compensation for the delay in the filming plan!"
Upon hearing this news, many staff members and actors' eyes lit up. 20% is not a small number, especially those actors who earn tens of millions of dollars. If you do this, it will be millions or even tens of millions! Even if there were any losses caused by the delay in schedule, they were all easily recovered.
"Mr. Zhang, I know you have money and don't take it seriously at all, but have you ever thought about the impact of a one-month delay on the market?" Dai Qingying still didn't give up.
"Miss Dai, when did I say I was going to put this movie on the market?"
Zhang Menglong's words made Dai Qingying dumbfounded.
"I never made this movie to make money. Even after I shoot this movie, I don't necessarily need to show it in a cinema. What if I take it to a private theater at home and watch it with a few friends? I never I have no interest in money! Do I care about that?"
Zhang Menglong continued, "Replace an actor, restart all filming work, so what, I can still spend a little more money, it's not too late for me to be happy!"
"Finance team, the rest will be left to you. If they don't fulfill the terms of the termination of the contract, you can come directly to me. I have several law firms under my name, and they are ready to file lawsuits at any time. They work all day long. While you're idle in the company, it's time to find some work for them."
Although Zhang Menglong's tone was calm, the determination in his words was not hidden at all. Zhang Menglong did not hesitate at all on this matter. He came here today to talk to Dai Qingying and several of her party members. Come to terminate the contract!
"Also!" Zhang Menglong added, "If anyone like this appears in the future, they will be fired directly. If I am not here, they will find Wang Ling. If someone reports it, if they report it once, they will be rewarded with a hundred thousand!"
"Awesome!" Wang Ling patted Zhang Mengyu's shoulder from the side, "In this world, you are the only one who dares to make a movie like this!"
