Peng Yuyan said he would thank his agent, and that was not false at all.

What's ridiculous about thinking about it now is that at that time, he was still hesitant about the so-called famous director who had a schedule conflict with another film, a big production.

But in fact, he can't be blamed.

The director of another project is considered a famous director and is also a popular IP adaptation. Although the investment is not as high as the 800 million yuan of "Glory", the pay is actually more generous.

At the same time, Weidu Entertainment had not yet made a name for itself in the film industry at that time. It only had a record of successful low-cost horror films like "Hell Apartment", and had never made a big investment commercial film - at that time, "War Fire" had not been released.

How to make a choice between these two projects? This is indeed worth tangling.

If it weren't for his agent who tried hard to persuade him, he might have really chosen another project.

But even so, what his agent considered at the beginning was the value of the IP "League of Legends". It was instinctively that such a national-level IP in mainland China should have relatively good results in film adaptation.

No one would have thought that "Glory" could achieve such a great success.

After listening to some of the subsequent work arrangements his agent said, Peng Yuyan nodded and said, "All these are listened to you... But, are there any further arrangements for the sequel to "Demacia"?"

"There's it." said the agent, "Weidu Entertainment has already started to prepare for the sequel, and the name has been tentatively set, called "Demacia: Dragon Blood". You are the first male lead, and the other Chris Evans will have much less scenes than you. However, some other characters will be introduced here. In short, the role of your character, Garvan, is still very guaranteed."

"When will the filming start in the group?"

"It is said that the project has been started, the script and early creation have begun, but it seems that the funds have not yet been in place, and Weidu Entertainment is still talking to Penguin."

"There is definitely no need to worry about funds." Peng Yuyan said, "The last movie that could reach a global box office of 10 billion yuan. If you have such a movie, are you still worried about funding issues?"

"Well, those two families are not short of money. I guess what they are talking about on the issue of distribution of interests."

"Then my pay..."

"Don't think about this." His agent was also helpless. "When I signed the first movie earlier, the sequel's pay was limited in the contract. I found someone to study it for a long time, and there was no loophole to drill."

"Is there really nothing to talk about?"

“Nothing to talk about.”

"What a pity..." Peng Yuyan said, "I knew it wouldn't have signed a sequel limit at the beginning, and I also signed a long contract of five movies! And there are more than five movies. If the five movies continue to be filmed after the five movies, there will be a pay limit for the subsequent contracts..."

The agent shook his head and said, "Thinking about these is useless. If you didn't sign at that time, Weidu Entertainment wouldn't be able to use yours. Their work is obviously going to be filmed for a long time, just like Marvel's superhero. With the example of Robert Downey Jr., they can't be unaware of it."

"That's true..."

"It's already very good now." The agent in turn comforted him, "The pay paid by Weidu Entertainment is actually not low. In addition, the bonus of good movies and a 30% increase in pay is actually very good if you continue shooting."

"I understand." Peng Yuyan said, "I just feel a little bit of a pity."

"Well, in the future, I will make up for all the benefits of this part of the filming, including filming and commercial endorsements. As for the pay for the "Demacia" series, I will talk to Weidu Entertainment again to see if there is any possibility of fighting for it, but don't have too much expectations."

...

Weidu Entertainment did receive a request for a payment negotiation from Peng Yuyan's agent.

In fact, it is not just Peng Yuyan. In the movie "Demacia: Glory", the roles he played were slightly more serious, especially the actors who played the "heroes" in the original game. They came here intentionally or unintentionally to find out if there were any new possibilities in the pay.

But the responses given by Weidu Entertainment are very firm: it is impossible, everything is subject to the contract.

This matter is too much involved.

If an actor is given this hole, all the actors will pounce on him. If the movie is successful, these actors will speak loudly based on their own roles, and the movie will not need to be filmed - the money earned may not be enough to feed the actors.

Weidu Entertainment is not stingy in terms of pay. It has given enough pay for all the pay. After the movie was successful, in addition to the contract, it also gave the entire creative team a bonus of over 100 million yuan.

Even so, the subsequent actor pay must be restricted.

The most perfect situation is to keep the creative team intact while orderly controlling the proportion of actors' pay in total cost. If it really doesn't work later, from the perspective of Dimensional Entertainment, it is better to change actors or abandon the hero's sequel movie scenes, it is impossible to accept that a person's pay reaches more than 60 million US dollars like Robert Downey Jr.

That's so scary.

Of course, they don't need to worry about this issue for the time being.

After "Glory" achieved great success, Dimension Entertainment immediately launched a corresponding sequel plan.

The new work, the tentative title is indeed "Demacia: Dragon Blood".

The script of "Dragon Blood" and even the third part of the Demacia trilogy have actually been completed. Now that the movie has achieved great success, the sequel will of course be put on the agenda.

The corresponding preliminary design work has begun. The most important one is the design of the second new main characters, one is "Dragon Blood Martial Arts. Shivana" and its mother, that is, the two-part big boss, the dragon Iva, which is a dark legend.

Shivana's actor has been confirmed so far, and is a domestic actress, Xin Zhilei.

Xin Zhilei is not a traditional beauty star. She has been a lot of years and has not made any appearance. But her professionalism is indeed good, and she has a good acting foundation. As her works accumulate, her fame gradually becomes bigger.

Of course, there are two main factors that Weidu Entertainment chose her to play the role of the dragon girl Shivana. One is that Shivana is a dragon person, which must require a lot of makeup and later CG technology to synthesize the image. This has more requirements for the actor's acting skills, but the requirements for appearance are not that high.

The second point is that Xin Zhilei is not expensive and her pay is controllable.
