"Director Gu, haven't I never found a suitable opportunity to contact you?"
"You have been busy with the post-production of the movie. I just thought, you are already very busy, so I don't want to disturb you anymore. What bad intentions can I have?"
"It's all for your sake."
"how?"
"Is there any work that needs me recently?"
Compared to Zhang Feng, Gu Mei is not someone who would contact someone for no reason. Gu Mei paused and said firmly: "Don't you want your salary?"
Wu Di was stunned: Remuneration?
In the Fuzi crew, do I still have this thing?
Besides, has it really been settled before?
Wu Di's memory may be wrong, but it can be believed that Gu Mei will never be wrong.
"Yes! Yes!"
"How can you not?"
"I can't thank you enough for thinking about this!" Before I knew it, the series of flattery was online again.
It has become a habit.
Gu Mei smiled and didn't argue with him.
"Then you come to the Chinese Hotel in the evening. There is a dinner party for the crew here. Come and join in. I will also give you the salary, although you don't value the money anymore."
Wait...wait a moment...
There are so many flaws in this sentence that Wu Di couldn't distinguish it for a while.
tonight?
You have already made an appointment with Da Fei's junior brother, how could you possibly break the appointment?
Besides, who says he doesn’t value the money?
He has always adhered to the principle that fly legs are also meat. Besides, it is only 20,000 yuan! It is very useful!
"Director Gu, don't say that. I'm just a newcomer and it's not easy to make some money. So don't make fun of me."
"How is this ironic? You already drive a luxury car now, but you still care about 20,000 yuan? I'm telling you this out of business credit. If you don't have time, you might as well use it as charity. This money, I
I won’t give it to you anymore.”
"That's not okay!" Wu Di flatly refused.
When it comes to money, he must not fall behind.
However, he really didn't have time. In the final analysis, Da Fei's business was more important.
"Director Gu, do you think this is okay? I have an appointment tonight, and it is a very important appointment. If you allow me, I will ask my assistant to come over tonight, that is, the little girl named Jingjing. You also
We know each other."
I want money, but I don’t want to come in person. Before I can become a big star, I’m already showing off!
Originally, he wanted Wu Di to come over and settle the little remuneration for him. This was of course an excuse. Wu Di's current financial resources, although the two parties did not continue to contact each other, Gu Mei also heard about it.
He wouldn't take the 20,000 yuan seriously, but he just wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about the progress of the skin change, and at the same time delay Zhang Feng.
"Director Gu, I really didn't mean not to go. If there are any promotional activities in the future, you can come and call me. However, I will not attend the party. I do have a date tonight. It was arranged by my agent. I
I’ve already agreed, so it’s hard not to go.”
"Look, is it okay for Han Jingjing to go?"
Originally it was not possible, but Gu Mei couldn't stand Wu Di's all kinds of nice words and finally Gu Mei agreed.
Wu Di hung up the phone excitedly and dialed Han Jingjing's number again.
"Jingjing, I have an errand for you to go to tonight."
"What errand?"
"Aren't we going to meet Da Fei's junior brother with you tonight?"
"I even got a new hair style?"
As he was talking, there was a buzzing sound from the other side of the receiver, which must have been a hair dryer. Wu Di sighed: "Director Gu contacted me and said that the crew of the Master wants to settle the film remuneration for me. You can run for me."
One trip, collect the money."
"That's it..."
"From your tone, do you think you don't want to go?"
"Originally, I just wanted to give this money to you directly. Since you don't want to go, then forget it."
"Give me?"
"Is there such a good thing?" As soon as she heard that the money was related to her, Han Jingjing immediately cheered up. It was exactly the same as Wu Di imagined.
"What do you think?"
"Didn't you put the money for renting the house on me?"
"Originally I didn't want to take care of it at all, but since Director Gu wants to give me a sum of money, it's not a big amount, and there's no point in keeping it, so why not just give it to you, and it will be used as this year's rent, and you can pay it quarterly."
Just leave it to Director Zhang."
rent?
Han Jingjing's eyes lit up, yes!
This is a great way to solve problems!
"I go!"
"What time? I'll go for you tonight!"
What a joke!
How could you not go? There is money to be made!
Even if he and Wu Di went to meet Yuan Dafei's junior brother, it would just be more fun, and there would be no real benefits for Han Jingjing.
It's better to go to the Fuzi crew and ask for money!
Han Jingjing agreed immediately, and Wu Di put down the phone with satisfaction.
You know that this money obsessed person is reluctant to part with 20,000 yuan.
alright!
Now that Gu Mei has made arrangements, Wu Di can go and meet Da Fei with ease to meet his junior brother.
To be honest, at this moment, Wu Di didn't really want to see Gu Mei, and there was no other special reason, mainly to avoid suspicion.
Without any explicit or implicit instructions from Gu Mei, Wu Di could know that if he went today, there would definitely be a bloody storm.
Comparing the two sides, of course Zhang Feng's skin change is more important. He doesn't want to end up as a double-faced person.
It is necessary to hug Neng Feng's thigh. In order to achieve this goal, of course, you cannot gain a sense of presence with Gu Mei.
According to the current development of the situation, perhaps in the end, as a last resort, Wu Di will have no choice but to give up his promotional work with the Master.
Being able to have both sides and please both sides is a very difficult thing.
Rather than trying to please both sides, it would be better to gain a firm foothold on Zhang Feng's side.
It's just a pity that there was a banquet.
Maybe we can meet Uncle Pancake and talk about the new TV series!
When it comes to the TV series recommended by Jianbing, Wu Di is still very interested, although according to subsequent evaluations, the quality cannot be compared with the previous works on the same theme.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, it is still a good work.
This is second and most important. In the film and television industry, Wu Di still has very little working experience. He is very much looking forward to getting more opportunities and participating in more works.
The two films he has shot so far are very limited in length. One is the starring role, but the story structure is simple, while the story of the Master is more grand and the atmosphere is broad. However, Wu Di's role is too small.
There aren't many roles, and there isn't much room for performance.
In this way, Uncle Jianbing’s TV series has become a popular one.
A conservative estimate is that the TV series will have to be filmed for fifty episodes, and each episode must be at least 40 minutes in length. If we can compete for a more important role, then the whole TV series will be filmed, and Wu Di's role will be said to be
Maybe it can break through ten hours!
What kind of concept is this?
This is how long it takes to brush the business!
Just like a pilot needs enough flying time to be qualified, generally speaking, being an actor also requires a certain amount of experience.
Although there is a big gift package from the system, as long as he wants to develop his career as an actor, he still needs to gain experience in more crews.
Moreover, although in terms of style, TV series cannot be compared with movies, but for Wu Di at this stage, it is still very beneficial to be able to star in a feature-length TV series.
One is, regarding the length of the performance, you can understand this account by simply doing calculations.
Take "Skin Changing" as an example. Although Wu Di is known as the leading actor, in this 100-minute movie, his actual appearance is only forty minutes.
So, ten hours of scenes in a TV series is equivalent to filming a dozen movies!
The accumulation of experience is definitely a lever.
In addition, there is another important reason. As mentioned before, TV drama directors generally do not interfere much with actors' live performances. In other words, it is easier to pass a drama.
The most critical factor in success lies in the actor's personal performance.
In comparison, film directors will have more detailed requirements for actors' personal performances and will not let it go.
Many famous scenes in movies are the result of special training by the director.
Therefore, there is a saying that often appears in the market now, that is, when movie actors come to earth to star in TV series, the results are often not necessarily particularly good. This is the reason.
Without the guidance of a high-level director, my true level is exposed.
Therefore, what is worthy of admiration are those actors who are good at both film and television. When they are trained by high-level famous directors, they can show extraordinary acting skills, and when they need to control the performance themselves, they produce
The quality of TV series remains stable.
This kind of actor can only say that his basic skills are indeed excellent.
For Wu Di, this is what is lacking now.
Moreover, the time seemed to be just right.
According to the news revealed by Uncle Jianbing before, the filming of the TV series will not start until next spring.
As for Wu Di, there are still a few days left to finish the early promotion of the movie, so between now and next spring, there should be about three months of free time.
Just right for a movie!
There is no need to count on Lao Zhang's films. He is a boss who works slowly and meticulously. His films will be officially shot next year and they will be considered fast.
Therefore, Wu Di took aim at this script recommended by Yuan Dafei. It is a suspense film with a modern theme. Although it is set in a rural setting, the filming period should not be too long.
Give it two months and it should be fine.
Of course, a considerable salary cannot be ignored.
It's a pity that a new director and a poor crew are still counting on him, Mr. Wu, to provide money for investment. It would be great if Wu Di is not allowed to pay for it, but he still expects to get a salary?
impossible!
Totally impossible!
Wu Di thought this way before seeing the director, and even more so after seeing the director.
because……
director……
He is actually a handsome guy!
At the appointed time, Wu Di set off from Zhang's house and rushed to the meeting place, which was the restaurant downstairs from Han Jingjing's residence.
At first, this was to facilitate her, the only woman with a strange smell, but in the end, she stopped coming, and Da Fei was very dissatisfied.
As soon as Wu Di sat down, Da Fei complained: "Why isn't Jingjing here?"
"If I had known it, I would have chosen it near my home."
Wu Di glanced at the junior brother beside him and said with a smile: "She went to do something for me and can't come today."
"But wouldn't it be nice if she didn't come? We can discuss this project more thoroughly."
When the work was mentioned, the new director stood up and extended his hand: "Hello, Boss Wu, I am Qi Yushen, Da Fei's junior brother."
Xiao Qi is dressed very simply and wears black-rimmed glasses. He gives the impression that he does not look like an artist, but more like an engineering man.
"Hello, you don't need to call me boss. I am a new actor, you are a new director, and I am a new actor. We will work together to make this new film a success."
Xiao Qi doesn't talk much, but his smile is sincere. Mainly because of his face, it makes people feel particularly safe at first glance.
It makes people feel that he is particularly reliable.
Now, Xiao Qi's face was full of smiles. Just as he was about to get to the point, he was interrupted by Da Fei: "Don't be impatient. Let's eat some food and drink some wine first."
Yeah.
It is convenient to talk about things at the wine table. If you don't drink or eat anything, you won't be able to talk. This is often the case. As long as the wine is there, everything can be discussed.
"Boss Wu..."
"Just call me Wu Di."
Xiao Qi poured him a glass of wine, but Wu Di quickly stopped his usual politeness and sighed.
"I've read your script, and it's really good. If it's shot well, it should get great results, and maybe even win an award!"
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "You are too kind. I haven't thought that far yet. This is a script I wrote when I was a student. The setting is also my hometown. After graduation,
It’s been a few years since I’ve been shooting various short films, and I haven’t had the chance to make a feature film.”
"Now that I have some savings, I want to take out this script and officially make a movie. However, it can be regarded as fulfilling a dream."
oh!
What a dream!
It seems that we are about to start to be high-profile!
"I understand this. When I was in school, I also had many dreams. I wanted to be a reporter, I wanted to be an archeologist, and there were so many things I wanted to do. So, in the end, I chose to be an actor."
"why is that?"
Xiao Qi drank too much and didn't react for a while.
"Of course it's because being an actor allows you to experience a variety of different jobs."
"Look, in the two movies I made before, one was about a general and the other was about a scholar. Aren't these two different professions?"
"Yep."
"This time in my movie, the male protagonist is a salesman, which can be regarded as a different profession." In order to attract investment, it is not shameful to be humble.
Besides, Wu Di is very familiar with his state.
Didn't he behave like this in front of those seniors before?
"However, the core of your story seems to have nothing to do with the starring role. It is just a background."
Xiao Qi was stunned, as if Wu Di had poked his weak point.
Seeing how embarrassed he was, Wu Di quickly put the topic aside: "Don't pay attention, I was just talking casually."
"I like any script as long as it has a good story. To tell you the truth, I usually have a very high level of movie watching. I don't watch ordinary movies. It's a waste of time."
