Disaster Artist

Obviously, if the "raid 2" crew fires Qiao Fuyong, then the responsibility for the breach of contract lies with Blue Whale Pictures, and how to properly deal with the aftermath is a problem that must be faced.

In fact, Xiu Zhongjun also considered this possibility - as a leader, you must do everything, even if the possibility is very, very low.

But Xiu Zhongjun didn't expect that things really came to this point, so the specific figures still need to be further confirmed.

Ji Xu regained her concentration and interjected.

"But does all the responsibility rest with him?"

"It delayed the filming progress of the crew, ignored the rules and regulations of the trade union, and caused huge losses to the crew, so he was fired, so what?"

The responsibility is indeed with the "raid 2" crew, but it doesn't mean that they will easily surrender, and what they should strive for still requires persistence.

Xiu Zhongjun nodded lightly in agreement, "This must be our proposition. He breached the contract first, which forced us to use coercive means to terminate the partnership."

"If things really get to this point, the legal process is a high probability event, we should win the case, but more or less still need to pay part of his liquidated damages."

Once in the legal process, then things are not so simple.

"and……"

Xiu Zhongjun looked up at Lu Qian.

"And things can be ugly, he can smear and even slander the director on different occasions, unless we issue a gag order through legal process, but that's another thing."

"The best possibility is that we pay part of the liquidated damages, and then sign a non-disclosure contract. We don't need to go to court, and we will eliminate the chaos in advance."

Obviously, things are very, very complicated, and it is precisely because of this that both Xiu Zhongjun and Ji Xu are avoiding this situation and are considering other solutions.

Lu Qian nodded lightly, his expression showing no surprise at all. Although law is not his specialty, he still knows the basics, but he doesn't care.

"I don't mind what he wants to say. If he wants to scold at the door of the company, you can invite him in, give him a glass of honey water, and let him scold slowly."

Pfft, Lu Qian's understatement made Shen Yanshu unable to hold back, and he laughed outright, but Lu Qian's words still did not stop.

"After all, he's not the only one who has a mouth."

"The truth is, even if he doesn't say it, we will let the wind out here."

"I know that if I fire him directly, the directors in the industry will also have a lot of criticism. This is not a problem, but the premise is that they know the truth. After knowing the truth, they are still dissatisfied with my choice. That is their freedom. Once again, I will still make the same choice.”

"So, the key is to give me a rough range, I mean, your estimated range. After all, we need to consider the cost of production now."

Lu Qian is a budget-conscious person. From the beginning of "unfriending", the cost control of movies has always been deeply imprinted in his mind:

After all, they started from scratch, with debts and all their savings in the back seat.

Expelling Qiao Fuyong was not such a simple decision——

First, they need to hire a new director, which is another expense.

Secondly, nearly 50% of "Raid 2" has been filmed. So, does the director continue Qiao Fuyong's style, or he needs to overturn some shots to create his own style, or extend his own understanding on the basis of Qiao Fuyong and interpretation, which can all result in different payouts.

Simply put, the production cost of "The Raid 2" definitely needs to go up.

Then, liquidated damages are a key point that must be considered.

Xiu Zhongjun breathed a sigh of relief. Now that the director has realized the problem of production costs, it would be better.

"If you don't go to court, it will be between 200,000 and 500,000."

"So much! How much is his director's salary?"

"one million."

Lu Qian: ... with round eyes and a face full of surprise, he didn't expect that Qiao Fuyong's salary has reached seven figures.

Xiu Zhongjun had to explain.

"Director, that's because you haven't entered the market to receive films, so you don't know the market. This figure is the third-grade salary in the industry."

"The second level is between one million and seven million. At present, the entire industry is almost in this range."

"At the highest level, more than 7 million and less than 15 million."

"But the reason why there is no higher number is that directors of this level are more likely to receive box office dividends, and they also bear some of the risks of making movies. The high box office naturally generates high returns, and if the box office is smashed, they can also share the loss of the production company."

To put it simply, Qiao Fuyong's remuneration is considered the third peak, and the bonus of the Golden Scale Award is still very obvious, but overall it is not high.

Lu Qian pursed his lips, looking noncommittal.

Ji Xu couldn't help but chuckle, "If you are willing to cooperate with Liuguang Films, 10 million is the minimum bottom line, and it is not impossible for the box office dividends to be distributed."

Lu Qian shook his head and sighed, "Why do you feel like selling yourself?"

But Xiu Zhongjun didn't have time to respond to Lu Qian's joke, and called out, "Director."

Lu Qian's attention was drawn back again, "Then let's do it like this. Whatever plan you think is the best, just follow this plan."

Professional matters should be left to professionals. Xiu Zhongjun must know better than him about how to stop losses and how to control the situation.

"Fire Qiao Fuyong" is not difficult for Xiu Zhongjun, the real difficulty is how to deal with the follow-up.

"Director, what about the successor?"

"It happened so suddenly~www.novelmt.com~ We stopped filming like this, and the already delayed progress will be further delayed, and the whole body will be affected."

How did the whole incident begin?

It was because of Guan Zhou's accidental injury that the shooting progress was delayed, and then it was like a domino.

But now, they are going to make things worse?

What Xiu Zhongjun was worried about was finding a firefighting director temporarily, not to mention the shooting style, the quality of the finished product, etc. The most difficult thing was to find a director who was willing to accept it immediately.

At the beginning, Blue Whale Pictures went through a strict procedure to select the director of "Raid 2". After a layer-by-layer screening, Qiao Fuyong stood out; now do you want to do it all over again? Or did they choose the firefighting captain from the second and third choices that were eliminated?

The question is, are they willing to take over Qiao Fuyong's mess?

After all, fighting a fire is a very different job.

Lu Qian felt a bit of a headache, and this was what he was most worried about:

In the filmmaking industry, the worst, scarier, and more catastrophic thing to do than reshoots is to change directors halfway through.

In the previous time and space, a large part of the reason why the final version of "Justice League" was different was that the director was temporarily changed in the middle of the shooting; coupled with the producer's many interferences in the film, the finished product was finally presented to the audience. also unsatisfactory.

Think about it.

"call……"

Lu Qian let out a long breath and seemed to struggle and hesitate, but finally closed his eyes and said.

"I'll take over."
