Has Big Shot Fallen in Love Today?-Chapter 709 Another Stroke of Good Luck

Chapter 709: Chapter 709 Another Stroke of Good Luck
The meeting room was dead silent for a moment.
Wen Yu was stunned, and Sheng Tang and Ke Fei were also very surprised.
Zheng Weiwei and other insiders seemed to understand their feelings at this moment and unanimously kept silent, not breaking the current tranquility.
After a long silence, Wen Yu’s agent spoke first: "But it wasn’t said like this before. Dual female leads, there should be a ranking, right? During the later stages of movie promotion, are the two female leads going to be positioned equally?"
This was the start of bargaining.
If Wen Yu knew from the beginning it was dual female leads, would she have taken this movie?
No doubt, she would have, because the main selling point of this movie isn’t her, but Zheng Weiwei.
Zheng Weiwei’s name means the movie will be good, many audience members know this is Miss Zheng’s big work.
So, Wen Yu’s side doesn’t have enough confidence to fight this decision, especially since she has already signed the contract.
Zheng Weiwei’s background is very strong, and falling out with her offers no benefit to Wen Yu. Therefore, Wen Yu’s side can only swallow their anger and share the spotlight with Sheng Tang.
And Sheng Tang doesn’t qualify.
Her fame and box office draw in the movie industry are not at the same level as Wen Yu’s.
Zheng Weiwei is very experienced in this.
She glanced at the producer.
Producer Wang Xi smiled and pulled out his expertise in smooth negotiations.
He first hinted at Sheng Tang’s excellent acting skills: If Wen Yu doesn’t accept dual female leads, it means her lead role will be completely suppressed by the supporting actress, making her look even worse.
Secondly, he informed Wen Yu’s side: Due to the studio’s breach of contract, Zheng Weiwei is willing to give Wen Yu a 3% share of the box office earnings.
This is actual benefit.
If the movie sells well, Wen Yu might get more money from it than her acting fee.
An opportunity to ally with Zheng Weiwei and a high percentage share contract, these two things are enough to calm Wen Yu’s anger.
Thus, Wen Yu glanced at her agent, and after her agent hinted to her, she proactively offered to show goodwill to Zheng Weiwei: "Like Sister Zheng, I have invested my heart into this, and of course, I hope the movie is perfect.
If this is the best decision, I am willing to comply with the crew’s rearrangements."
Interests move people, she immediately became very agreeable.
As for Sheng Tang’s side, rising from female support to lead actress, given her current status in the movie industry, this is the greatest benefit for her.
Even if she has the same screen time as Wen Yu, she won’t get Wen Yu’s acting fee and earnings share.
Just the promotion of her role is already Zheng Weiwei’s strong support for her.
Think about it, she only has one movie released with a box office of just two billion, compared to a big star like Zheng Weiwei, she is really insignificant.
Therefore, when Zheng Weiwei said this, Sheng Tang and her agent’s silence was just them trying to suppress their inner excitement.
"Mr. Sheng, do you have any questions on your side?" the producer asked Sheng Tang again.
Sheng Tang: "Having this opportunity to act alongside Teacher Wen is my honor. I have no questions and will work hard to perform well, not disappointing Sister Zheng and Teacher Wen."
Wen Yu and Sheng Tang’s tact made this negotiation very smooth.
The reason for such smoothness is Zheng Weiwei’s status. Her status ensures that Wen Yu dares not tear face with her, and guarantees that Sheng Tang is grateful for filming a lead role with a supporting actress fee, rather than complaining about increased workload.
This is the benefit of fame.
After the meeting, Ke Fei was still a bit excited.
"You have to know, many second-tier and even first-tier movie actresses are willing to act in Zheng Weiwei’s movie with zero pay, this is your luck." Ke Fei feared Sheng Tang might not understand, so he compared her with Wen Yu, "This is your luck, Tangtang."
"I know, Brother Fei, I am also very excited." Sheng Tang laughed.
She is a pragmatic person, well aware of her situation, she really can’t compare herself with Wen Yu.
Of course, this is for now, in the future whose status will be higher, that remains uncertain.
On Wen Yu’s side, summarizing Zheng Weiwei’s past box office achievements, thinking about the share, the more she thinks the happier she gets; while Sheng Tang knowing her pay and status will greatly increase after this movie, is also very happy.
The atmosphere on set was much more active than a few days ago.
Some are happy and some are sad, Sheng Tang and Wen Yu are satisfied, but the male lead Feng Yanqiu was dumbfounded.
