Chapter 027 I, Hengdian Little Eunuch(1/2)
After bidding farewell to Yuan Heping, Qian Chen and Brother Ji took a plane to Qinchuan City that night.
This play is not set in Hengdian.
He, the little eunuch of Hengdian, will not be able to go back for a while.
There is no airport in Qinchuan.
Even the provincial capital Susu doesn't have an airport, and Qinchuan doesn't have an airport. It's normal.
Director Wu Qi sent someone to Shanghai to pick him up.
It's not too far away either.
It took more than two hours to reach Qinchuan.
We went to ride the Lushan Shouyan Road, and then rode a red carp to ride on the Qinchuan River.
Riding a koi around the Qinchuan River was quite picturesque, but unfortunately it was getting late, so I could only take a nap.
The next day, November 30, Qian Chen officially joined the group.
The crew hasn't started filming here yet, the actors are just talking about it.
Originally the second male lead was planning to invite Ma Zhaofeng.
There is also more interest there.
But for the sake of what Wu Ziniu calls "the master of calligraphy," Wu Qi has already said sorry to him.
Fortunately, Ma Zhaofeng is not lacking in dramas either.
This year he has participated in six TV series released, and there will be six more next year.
One less and one more will have little impact.
But it is a pity for stars who want to enter the film industry to miss a third-rate movie.
What is more interesting is that Ma Zhaofeng also starred in the drama "Beauty's Scheming" where Qian Chen once had a small role.
He plays Liu Zhang in it.
There are still a lot of scenes.
I don’t know how Ma Zhaofeng would feel if he knew that an extra performer had stolen his role.
Qian Chen's salary was finally settled at 80,000 yuan.
Not too high.
But with his current rank, 80,000 is not low.
Excluding those who are super A-list, the salary of A-list male stars is only two million.
For example, Liu Qingyun, Hu Jun, Liu Huohua, etc.
Among the first-line actresses, Zhang Jingchu, Sun Li and others have talents worth a million.
Yang Mi received two million and An Qian received three million.
Only Zhang Caiwei is the highest, able to surpass tens of millions.
Of course, if the script is good, it will be less if appropriate. If the script is bad, you can earn more.
For example, "The Grandmaster" gave very little.
The male lead chosen by Wu Qi here in "Liu Rushi" was paid 200,000, while the female lead was only paid 250,000.
Give Qian Chen 80,000 yuan, which is worthy of him.
Qian Chen needs to be responsible for all the calligraphy works required for the filming of the drama.
It was agreed that no money would be given.
Signed for three months.
Eighty thousand = eight hundred hours = thirty three days.
Obviously not enough.
I can only think of another way.
A drama like "Liu Rushi" is already the best choice he has ever encountered.
After signing the contract, Qian Chen was taken to meet the other creators.
The actors have basically been confirmed.
Qin Han, the male lead, even though the original actor didn’t know much about celebrities.
I have at least heard of this name.
This name is bound to Miss Oriental Invincible.
The female lead Wanxi.
It is said that it has been many years since his debut, but Qian Chen really has no impression.
This made him a little regretful.
Generally speaking, it has been many years since your debut and you still haven’t become popular.
Most of the reasons may be due to unsightly appearance.
If it doesn't look good.
Our first kiss on screen is equivalent to giving it to Aunt Ximen.
In addition, other actors have also been selected.
You can join the group at any time.
In addition, there were no problems with the props and location, so we planned to hold a launch ceremony on an auspicious day the day after tomorrow to start filming.
Mainland directors don't pay much attention to ceremony.
It won't generate much enthusiasm if used as a publicity stunt.
The director used to be involved in documentaries and was the director of the variety show department of China Television News Film Studio.
Guest lecturer in the "Documentary Creation" course at Peking University School of Journalism and Media.
But to the film industry, he is a complete newcomer.
The male lead, Qin Han, has long since expired, while the female lead, Wan Xi, is tepid.
I originally planned to find a handsome guy with some traffic to be the second male lead, but now that has been scrapped.
With such a crew, there is no need to even hold a launch press conference.
However, since it is an official cooperation between China Television and Linchuan.
Officials must have formality. If there is no formality, where will the performance come from?
Here, after everyone introduces each other.
Director Wu Qi encouraged Qian Chen to start writing.
He had seen Qian Chen's calligraphy given to him by Wuziniu and was very satisfied with the calligraphy skills shown in that calligraphy.
But he is not sure whether Qian Chen's other works are stable.
Qian Chen opened his backpack without saying anything.
The guy who ate took it out.
"Wait a minute!"
Someone shouted to stop Qian Chen.
Then, this man with the same mustache as Mr. Zhou held out long boxes one after another.
Qian Chen knew him.
When I was introduced just now, this was director Wu Ziniu.
It's the one he recommended.
Qian Chen was very grateful to him and even decided to treat him to a meal later.
A budget of eighty per capita.
"This is the pen I prepared. It was given by a friend. You can use this and pick one by the way. It will be a meeting gift for you." Uzi Niu was very enthusiastic.
"..."
Is there such a good thing?
The food he ate, paper and pen, plus chairs and stools cost a hundred yuan in total.
The gold content of this piece of money is definitely not more than thirty yuan, and he almost wrote it as a bald piece.
However, showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.
At this time, director Wu Qi's words dispelled his doubts:
To be continued...
