In the midst of JK Rowling's strange laughter, the two of them walked out of the small room and looked at the three cute children in front of them.
"Uncle! It's you! " Scarlett Johansson's memory was quite good. She actually recognized our Boss Jia at the first sight.
"Long time no see, little girl!" Boss Jia laughed.
"Oh my god, so Titanic and Harry Potter were both filmed by you!" Scarlett Johansson covered her mouth in surprise. She didn't expect that her two favorite stories were actually filmed by Boss Jia.
"It's me!" Boss Jia laughed and then introduced JK Rowling to the three children.
Hearing that the woman behind Boss Jia was actually the author of the Harry Potter series, the three children's eyes revealed a look of worship at the same time. Then, they surrounded JK Rowling and began to act cute, making Boss Jia very envious.
"Okay, I'll talk to you about serious matters!" Boss Jia gathered the three children's guardians in front of him and then said in a deep voice, "Next, I'll talk to you about some specific details of the contract. I hope you can seriously consider what I'm going to say next, because once you put pen to paper, there will be no chance for regret!"
"Understood!" The three children's guardians nodded.
"First of all, this contract will last for a minimum of seven years and a maximum of twelve years. In total, you will film more than seven to less than twelve Harry Potter movies. I can't guarantee you the specific number now. After all, no one knows what changes will happen in a few years. If it's less than seven movies or more than twelve movies, we can negotiate to change the contract. "
"Except for irresistible accidents or serious diseases, after signing the contract, you must unconditionally cooperate with the filming of the Harry Potter series. The filming speed is one movie per year, and the filming time for each movie is about three to six months!"
"Whether it's the filming time, the filming process, etc., everything has to be fully compatible with the work of the movie. Of course, there will be no heavy cyanide or violent scenes. If there is, you can go to court to sue our crew. This will be written in the contract! "
"Secondly, during non-filming time, the three children have to participate in various kinds of movie promotion activities, including but not limited to newspaper or TV interviews, some variety shows, or road shows around the world. In short, they have to unconditionally cooperate with the promotion of our movie. However, we can guarantee that the total duration of all the promotional activities will not exceed 600 hours. At the same time, if there are any problems in their studies, we can give them appropriate cooperation with our approval!"
"Lastly, during non-working hours, the three young actors and their children will need to maintain their image. If there are any scandals or scandals, especially school bullying, relationships, drug abuse, or violence, as soon as they appear, we will ask for compensation that you will not be able to afford!"
"Other than that, you also have to keep quiet. Without the permission of the crew, you are not allowed to discuss anything related to the movie with any outsiders, especially with any media. This is a very common confidentiality agreement in the industry."
"This is my request to all of you. Of course, there will also be a promise from our company."
"Our company will clearly state in the contract that as long as you don't break the contract, the three roles will not be changed in principle. The three children will play the roles until the end of the seventh grade. If we can't continue to fulfill the contract because of our problems, we will give you a compensation of between two hundred thousand dollars and ten million dollars. "
"The three children's salary will be two hundred thousand dollars per movie, plus an additional 0.1% of the total box office as the remuneration for the movie. In addition, for every promotional activity, we will give you a subsidy of one thousand dollars per day according to the duration of the activity. "
Boss Jia then listed a lot of other conditions, waiting for the three children's parents to make a decision.
The three children's parents were also a little hesitant. They didn't expect such a movie contract to last for twelve years, which was as long as twelve movies. That was really a long time. After twelve years, their children would be twenty-three years old and would be young adults.
Secondly, there were a lot of requirements in the contract, and they were very strict. Basically, as long as they signed the contract, they would be sold to Daqian Entertainment, and their entire person would be controlled by Daqian Entertainment.
The most worrying thing for the parents was the problem of their children's schooling. After all, according to the contract, unless the children had a serious illness that required immediate treatment, or were missing an arm or a leg, even if they were still studying, they would have to cooperate unconditionally with the filming. Then, their studies would be greatly affected.
Of course, the return was also very generous. Their annual salary was at least two hundred thousand dollars, which was equivalent to the total annual income of the two children's families. In addition, there were various themes and rewards listed in the contract. If they were lucky, it seemed that it would not be a problem to have an annual income of more than five hundred thousand dollars.
The most important thing was that they were the protagonists of the Harry Potter series. Moreover, the series would last for at least seven years and seven movies would be released consecutively. As long as their children grew up, they would be the top stars in the world. In the future, they would have a path to stardom.
Therefore, it didn't take long for Harry Potter and Ron's guardians to sign the contract. Scarlett Johansson's father, Karsten Johansson, was the only one who signed the contract. Scarlett Johansson's father, Karsten Johansson, was not short of money. What he valued more was his daughter's future, and this contract would undoubtedly have a great impact on that future.
To be honest, Karsten Johansson didn't want to sign this contract. He wanted his daughter to have a free and controllable future.
Unfortunately, his daughter obviously did not think so much. She looked at the contract in front of her with golden eyes. Carsten Johansson swore that if he dared to refuse, he was afraid that he would never be able to talk to his daughter again.
Besides, even if he refused, would his daughter have a better future?
"Can our parents accompany the shooting during the whole process?" Karsten Johansson finally sighed and asked.
"Of course, we can also pay for the transportation and accommodation of the guardians, but it is limited to no more than two guardians!" Boss Jia laughed.
"Everything is for her happiness!" In the end, Karsten Johansson could only sign his name. In this way, the three leading actors were confirmed.
"Then I'll announce your first task after signing the contract!" Boss Jia smiled and put away the contract. Then he laughed and said, "Our movie will start shooting at the beginning of 1997. From May to December, the three children will enter our special training camp for seven months. These three children are still raw jade. If they are not carefully carved, they can't become qualified actors!"
"What! Seven months? " Karsten Johansson, who had just signed the contract, was unwilling to do so. He immediately retorted, "No, the time is too long, and the children's studies will be greatly affected. I object to this!"
"Mr. Karsten, it is written in the contract that we will train the three children for a certain period of time. This is necessary. You can't go back on your words!" Boss Jia held up the contract just signed and laughed, "As for their studies, although we can't let the three children go back to their previous schools, we will arrange academic teachers to guide their studies in the training camp. At the same time, we will make sure that their studies won't be left behind. Mr. Karsten, if you are not assured, you can also come to the training camp to accompany them throughout the whole process. We have no objection!"
"What kind of teachers are you going to find? My children are studying in the best school in New York! "Karsten Johansson frowned and asked.
"Don't worry, I specially invited several teachers who are fluent in English from Huanggang, Hua Xia. They can not only help the three children keep up with their studies, but also make their grades far surpass their peers. It won't be a problem for them to enter an Ivy League school in the future!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
