Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

Chen Xiao's eyes lit up.

He was a little excited, but he said,"Director Li, you are too polite. It is an honor for me to be on the national TV station. It doesn't matter whether I am paid or not."

The other party laughed,"Director Chen, you are too polite. I still have to pay. Let's talk about the money first. Directors usually get paid on a daily basis. The department finally approved 10,000 a day. Let's calculate it for half a year. If the time is not enough, we can talk about it later."

Chen Xiao's heart skipped a beat.

Half a year is 180 days, which means 1.8 million?!

This is much more than he expected.

You know, even the queen of singing on the Spring Festival Gala only makes a few thousand yuan for a performance.

On this stage, what is important is not money, but fame.

"Thank you, Director Li."

Director Li continued:"This price is indeed a bit low for the director. But after all, we have to set an example for the industry and cannot offer sky-high remuneration. However, the money you actually get is more than this, there is also a 10% share of the promotional video revenue. How much you can get depends on the quality."

10%?

Chen Xiao was stunned.

The general director's share is only about 3%. The director and screenwriter only get 5%.

Giving 10% is a high degree of recognition.

However, this is an opera promotional video, which is played for free, and the only income is the money given by the platform based on the number of views.

It is estimated that the Ministry of Culture will get 100 million in playback income in the end, and give him 10 million.

The rest will most likely be invested in the Peking Opera industry.

The two items add up to 11.8 million.

The film will be released at the end of January.

Making so much money in three months is not a small amount for a top director.

"Well, thank you Director Li."

Director Li smiled and continued:"The reward is more than just money. When the film is done, I will approve you the title of first-level director and first-level screenwriter!"

Chen Xiao was slightly stunned.

National first-level director and first-level screenwriter?

These two titles are at the same level as professors. They are the highest titles for directors and enjoy special contribution allowances issued by the state.

However, what stunned him was not the level, but the prerequisite for applying for the first level, which is to have the title of second-level director and second-level screenwriter.

He didn't have either.

"Director Li, I don't have a second-level professional title.……"

"I know, special approval!"

Chen Xiao scratched his head,"Thank you, Director Li."

Special approval?

Hiss——If this news gets out, I'm afraid it will arouse the envy and jealousy of a group of old directors and screenwriters.

But don't waste it, the titles are piled up!

"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy. If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me and I’ll do my best to help!"

"Well, thank you Director Li."

The two hung up the phone.

Chen Xiao put down his phone.

He did a rough calculation.

An estimated 10 million in broadcast revenue sharing and 1.8 million in remuneration.

A total of 11.8 million in cash income.

There are also two first-level professional titles that symbolize status.

And Director Li's connections.

It's okay, as a bonus for the system task, it's not bad.

After all, in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture to make this film, in addition to connections, what he cares most about is the system reward.

The system reward is a golden lottery opportunity!

The prize pool includes grandmaster-level skills, system upgrades, city villas, etc.

If you can draw a city villa, wouldn't it be great?

System upgrades are also fine.

Although I don't know what the benefits of upgrading are, I'd like to give it a try.

Just as he was immersed in thinking about the reward, Fang Rong's voice came from behind him,"Director Chen, the food is getting cold, let's eat quickly"

"Here I am. Thanks to Director Fang for reminding me."

At the same time.

With a large number of celebrities entering and leaving the Capital Art Theater, the news of Chen Xiao's new film was quickly discovered by the media. As soon as the reporters knew about it, the whole network knew about it.

Chen Xiao was on the hot search for two days because of"Titanic" entering Cannes. It just dropped to number 30 today and was pushed to number one again.

Number one hot search:"Chen Xiao is preparing for a new film!"

Number two hot search:"The Ministry of Culture is shooting a promotional video for the opera"Farewell My Concubine"! The genius director Chen Xiao is the chief director!"

Number eleven hot search:"The promotional video for the opera"Farewell My Concubine" is suspected to be nearly three hours long"

……

As soon as the news came out,

Chen Xiao's fans, fans of the Peking Opera"Farewell My Concubine", and passers-by were a little confused.

Director Chen Xiao made a three-hour long opera promotional film

《Farewell My Concubine》

——I recognize these words, but why do they sound so strange when combined together?

"Director Chen is good at expressing emotions and establishing characters, right? Is it a bit too far-fetched for him to make a promotional video for opera?"

"A three-hour trailer? Who can watch it?"

"Upstairs, you just said a three-hour ad, did you watch it? Don't even mention three hours, he shot 3,000 hours, I watched it all!"

"Does Chen Xiao know how to act? He can be an assistant director, but how can he be the chief director?"

"By the way, how did Director Chen get involved with the Ministry of Culture? The end of the universe is the establishment, this sentence is really true"

"Oh, what a pity. It must be timid to shoot something in cooperation with the official"

"It's just a promotional video for an opera, how bold do you expect him to be?"

"Yes, it’s a promotional video for opera. It’s hard to be bold even if you want to be bold."

"Don't make blind guesses. Trust Director Chen and you'll know once the film comes out."

……

At the same time, a large number of reporters got the news and swarmed to the Capital Art Theater, strongly demanding to be allowed in to interview Chen Xiao.

Since the announcement that"Titanic" was shortlisted for Cannes, they have not found any trace of Chen Xiao.

Now that he is here, how could he miss such a good opportunity.

But this is the Capital Art Theater after all.

They couldn't force their way in, so they had to squat outside the door and wait. When someone came out, they would grab him and ask,"Do you have any news about Chen Xiao?"

The staff of the Art Theater were all confused.

Especially those who didn't know that Chen Xiao was in the theater, they instantly suspected that these media were looking for a missing person with the same name?

The sky gradually darkened and night fell.

It was nine o'clock in the evening.

The crew finally finished the casting.

Chen Xiao and Fang Rong walked towards the parking lot while discussing the training.

Chen Xiao fiddled with the car keys and asked,"Director Fang, for training, there will be opera in the morning and history and role understanding in the afternoon, right?"

"Yes, starting on the 27th"

"Still at the Capital Art Theater, right? I'll come and take a look too."

"Yes. But you are going to Cannes next month, right? I remember the film festival is from the 10th to the 21st."

Fang Rong looked at Chen Xiao with envy.

It would have been nice to have known each other earlier.

He hasn't participated in the Cannes Film Festival yet.

He continued with a sigh:"I am here with some history professors and opera actors. Why don't you take a break and go to Country F for a few days."

Chen Xiao shook his head.

Things like travel and relaxation can wait until next Spring Festival.

If the system treasure chest draws a villa in the city center, that would be perfect.

If not, buy a villa far away from the city center.

In late January, build an e-sports room at home and play crazy for ten days!

But do things at the right time. It's better to work diligently on filming now.

"I will leave on the 20th, just go and get the award.

Fang Rong raised his eyebrows.

Just go and get the award?

Tsk tsk tsk, a newborn calf is really not afraid of a tiger.

Just as he was secretly complaining in his heart, he heard Chen Xiao beside him sighing softly.

"Oh, it takes so long to take a plane. I really don't want to go.……"

Fang Rong:"……"

He took a deep breath and forced a kind smile.

TMD……This job is unbearable!

If you don't want to go, don't go!

How can you be so Versailles at such a young age?
