Chapter 216 How much money does the King of the Screen make? (Ch 216)

At the awards ceremony, dinner,

After playing around with her eldest brother, Qi Jia found an empty seat and sat down, intending to reply to the message congratulating her for winning the Best Actor award.

“Brother Qi, everyone is waiting to toast you, what are you doing?”

Zhou Ye followed with a glass of champagne, patted him on the shoulder and asked,

“It’s okay, just reply with a message. Let’s go and take a look.”

After replying to several messages congratulating him, Qi Jia saw that Yan Qiu had not replied yet.

So he put away his phone, smiled and said to Zhou Ye.

Seeing Qi Jia coming over, many artists and directors present took the initiative to come forward and chat with him.

Qi Jia also accepted everyone who came to him, and soon there were a lot of new friend requests on WeChat.

At this time, a man with wavy medium-length hair came forward and stretched out his hand in a somewhat arrogant manner.

With a crooked mouth, he revealed an evil and crazy smile and said,

“Hello Qi Jia, I’m Xiang Zuo.”

“Hello~”

Qi Jia stretched out his hand and shook hands with him, but his mind was stunned for a moment. He couldn’t remember who this person was.

However, he soon searched for some memories from his memory.

In order to fulfill his dream of becoming a master, the boss of the cat farm used his money to hire a group of martial arts stars.

I accompanied him to shoot a short film called “Kung Fu”, in which there was a character called “Gao Shou Zuo” who was very similar to him.

After remembering it, Qi Jia smiled and added,

“Your appearance and fighting scenes in Kung Fu are both very handsome.”

“Really?” Xiang Zuozhezhe’s face immediately showed a childlike expression of surprise.

He pulled Qi Jia aside and asked for leave humbly.

“Well, I want to make a movie like The Grandmaster.

I just heard from my elder brother that your fighting scenes are also very exciting. I designed a signature move for myself.

Please help me with some reference and give me some advice. “

Without waiting for Qi Jia’s response, he directly supported his chin with his right thumb and placed his index finger on the side of his nose.

He lowered his head and put on an expression of calm thinking.

This action made Qi Jia stunned. He racked his brains for a long time before he said,

“It’s quite special and very impressive. I think it will be a big hit.”

…

After Xiang Zuo left contentedly, Zhou Ye came up to him and asked quietly,

“Brother, don’t you think it’s a little weird that he does this?”

Qi Jia shook his head and said indifferently,

“Don’t think too much, he doesn’t have any ulterior motives, he is just immersed in what he likes.

Besides, given his family background, he doesn’t need to care about other people’s opinions.”

The two were chatting when three more men came over.

One of them was Li Xiahui, president of Penguin Capital, whom I met at the Film Association dinner.

“Mr. Li, long time no see.”

Seeing the other party coming over, Qi Jia quickly stood up and shook hands.

“Congratulations, Qi Jia. You have won the Best Actor award every two years. Your future is limitless.”

Li Xiahui reached out and shook hands with Qi Jia, and praised him sincerely,

After saying that, he pointed to the two people next to him and introduced them, saying that these two were Director Zheng Weiwen and Director Chen Jialin.

Both of them are famous directors in Hong Kong.

Among them, Zheng Wewen directed the live-action IP “The Legend of Qin” adapted from the comics, and Chen Jialin directed “Nine-Region Sky City”.

After the four of them praised each other for their business, they sat down again. Li Xiahui then stated his purpose.

“It’s like this. Recently we are planning to adapt a popular online novel called “The Grandmaster of Demonic Cultivation” into a film or TV series.

It is expected to start filming in October in the second half of the year, and the actors are being selected now.

After watching your performance, Director Zheng and Director Chen thought that your image and temperament were

And his acting is very suitable for the protagonist Wei Wuxian.

You happen to be here today, so I want to ask you, are you interested in talking? “

Qi Jia had heard of this novel and knew it was really popular. It was translated into several languages ​​and published overseas.

But he hadn’t seen it, so he didn’t know if he was really suitable.

Moreover, now that his assistant is not here, he is not sure whether he will have time in the second half of the year.

“Thank you Mr. Li and the two directors for your kindness, but can you please do this?

I’ll go back tonight and confirm the schedule with my agent, and then I’ll give you an answer?”

Li Xiahui nodded. He expected Qi Jia to say this.

He came here tonight just to introduce Qi Jia to the two directors and see if he was interested. Now it has been confirmed, that’s enough.

“Of course, come to Qijia, let’s add our contact information.

I was in a hurry last time and didn’t have time to add you.”

As Li Xiahui spoke, he took out his cell phone. Zheng Weiwen and Chen Jialin followed suit and added Qi Jia as their friend.

Afterwards, Li Xiahui asked Zheng Weiwen to send a copy of the script to Qi Jia for review first.

Then, he took the two of them away to socialize with other bigwigs.

…

May 17, 7am,

Qi Jia didn’t stay in Hong Kong for long. He flew back to Shanghai early with Zhou Ye and his assistant.

The filming of “I’ll Wait for You at the End of Time”, which was originally scheduled to start today, was forced to be postponed to the 20th because he won the Best Actor Award.

As soon as I returned to the studio, I found a lot of new faces.

“Brother Qi is back.”

“Congratulations to Brother Qi for winning the Best Actor award.”

“Brother Qi, you’ve worked hard. Can you sign an autograph for me?”

After greeting everyone with a smile, he asked his assistant to prepare afternoon tea for everyone.

Amidst a chorus of flattery, Qi Jia walked into Chen Yuwen’s office.

As soon as he entered the door, he thought he saw a ghost.

Chen Yuwen’s eyes were black and his hair was messy, as if he had been struck by lightning.

There was an unfolded quilt on the sofa, apparently he slept in the office last night.

“I’m back, come and have a look, this is what I sorted out from last night till now,

All about your scripts, variety show invitations and advertising endorsements.”

Seeing Qi Jia coming in, Chen Yuwen quickly waved and called him over to his side, pointing to a form and saying to him,

“Currently, there are four TV series, six movies, and seven variety shows looking for you. The lowest pay is 20 million.”

Then, without waiting for Qi Jia to speak, she switched to another form.

“In addition, there are nine brand endorsements.

They are all big brands like Pepsi, BMW, and Midea.

Among them, Pepsi Cola has the highest endorsement fee, 30 million per year. Which one do you think you would like to take?”

Qi Jia opened his mouth wide, looking at the endorsement quotes behind each brand.

Nine brand endorsements, covering multiple industries such as food and beverage, home appliances and digital products,

The lowest endorsement fee was 18 million.

“Why are they so tall?” Qi Jia asked in surprise.

Last year, his endorsement fees were only around five or six million per year, but unexpectedly, they doubled overnight.

Compared to his shock, Chen Yuwen was quite calm.

“That’s normal. Otherwise, why do you think everyone wants to be the best actor? If you can’t even make money, then you don’t deserve to be called the best actor.”

Qi Jia thought about it and it made sense. The 80/20 rule exists in every industry.

The ones who can make big money are always only a small group of people at the top of the pyramid.

“Sister, can I have them all?”

After thinking it through, Qi Jia felt a little conflicted. Eighteen million was still money, no matter how little it was. He would feel bad if he gave up any of them.

Only children make choices, adults want them all!

“No, you can only choose one from the same industry. For example, if you choose Pepsi, you can’t choose Coca-Cola.”

Chen Yuwen said without hesitation,

“But this is all money. It’s such a pity to just throw it away like this.”

Qi Jia couldn’t bear to do it. This was more painful than cutting flesh from his body!

“It can’t be lost. If you don’t accept it, the brand will find someone else, but you won’t make the money.”

Chen Yuwen said sarcastically, but Qi Jia didn’t expect that after hearing it,

He covered his heart and fell down on the chair.

“It would be better to just throw it away. It makes me feel even more sad to see others making money.”
