Beat up the director and sue the company? How crazy is it when an actor is pushed? After reading these three examples, you will know!
1: Wang Yu
"Hong Kong martial arts movies have three peaks: the Wang Yu era, the Bruce Lee era, and finally the Jackie Chan era" Wang Yu participated in more than 60 martial arts films throughout his acting career and participated in the production of more than 80 films. Before the rise of Bruce Lee, Wang Yu was definitely the reddest martial arts superstar in Hong Kong.
As the highest-grossing action star of Shaw films at that time, he caused many conflicts between him and Shaw because of the contract remuneration issue.
Anxious to leave Shaw to join Jiahe, he could not get his wish because he was subject to the delay in the contract, and finally Wang Yu, who could not stand it, sneaked into Shao's interior to steal his contract, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of others, he also took out more than 100 contracts of other actors.
That night, he and his wife Lin Cui burned the contract on the balcony with a torch. It is said that the neighbors downstairs thought they were burning paper for the deceased old man!
And the next day, shaw's boss did not dare to speak out after finding that the contract was lost, in case the more than 100 actors ran away, they would be finished, and finally they could only re-sign the contract with these 100 actors in the name of salary increase!
2: The new Fantastic Four male protagonist Miles Teller
In the preparation stage of the movie "New Fantastic Four" that year, due to the company's limited funds, the film's production budget was severely reduced.
Furious and helpless, director Josh Trank vented his emotions on the cast. From temporary workers to male and female protagonists, Josh, who has a stinky face every day, can be said to have caught who scolded whom, and the whole crew was basically offended by him over and over again!
Until one day, the male protagonist Miles, who couldn't stand being sprayed, fought directly with Josh. After this incident, Fox pulled the director with extremely low emotional intelligence and director level into the blacklist!
3: Olivier Dehafron
In Hollywood at the beginning of the last century, it was not uncommon for film companies to bully actors. Olivia, who starred in "Gone with the Wind" that year, was once squeezed by Warner Pictures!
At that time, Olivia wanted to leave after the expiration of her seven-year contract with Warner, who knew that Warner actually said to Olivia: "We have hidden you for several months before, which means that you have not worked for the company in these months, so if you want to leave, you must first make up for the arrears of several months!" ”
Olivia, who couldn't bear it, immediately took Warner to court, and after 18 months of litigation, Warner finally lost! After that, the law that prohibits film and television companies from illegally extending actor contracts is also called: Deha fran Law! Interestingly, in 2017, the 101-year-old took the film "Old Enemy" crew to court because the crew wrote it into the script without consent!
