Forty-eight Director Sun, I already have a choice!
"Assistant Zhao, we may not be able to cooperate until next time!"
Xu Xu also gave Zhao Ke a strange look. He had a gentle personality and was not as flamboyant as Ye Lan. However, Zhao Ke was obviously stunned for a moment by his words.
"Xu...Mr. Xu, what do you mean?"
At this time, Zhao Ke finally understood something. He stared at Xu Xu in disbelief, not understanding why the other party made such a decision.
The cooperation with them will have to be postponed to the next time, which means that we cannot cooperate with them this time. On the other hand, it means that Xu Xu obviously chose Shen Mu's script.
But Zhao Ke is puzzled. You must know that there is a strong team of screenwriters behind them, and it is not an exaggeration to call them the best in the industry.
As for Shen Mu, he had just graduated from school for a year, and his first movie didn't even have a signature, and he was even involved in a plagiarism scandal. How good is his script?
Due to his preconceptions, Zhao Ke was not optimistic about Shen Mu at all, and his boss had been working hard in the directing industry for decades, so there was no comparison between the two.
Xu Xu's decision was like a blow that hit Zhao Ke directly on the head, making him unwilling to accept the result no matter what, and even became a little angry.
Therefore, Zhao Ke's words were somewhat gritted. He was not only surprised at the result, but also a little dissatisfied with Xu Xu. Various emotions were mixed together, and his face was a little ferocious.
"You're not really stupid, are you? Mr. Xu's meaning was very clear. Your script has been passed. He chose our script this time!"
Before Xu Xu spoke, Ye Lan had already smiled as if he had won a battle, and said what the former wanted to say, which saved Xu Xu a lot of words.
In fact, Xu Xu didn't like Zhao Ke's aggressiveness. Now that the other party seemed to be dissatisfied with him, he subconsciously felt a sense of disgust in his heart.
It's just that Xu Xu has a gentle temperament, and even if he is dissatisfied, he will not show it too much. Now Ye Lan takes care of it, which is undoubtedly what he wants.
"Xu Xu, are you blind..."
"Zhao Ke, shut up!"
Just when Zhao Ke became so angry that he almost cursed out loud, Sun Beitao next to him finally interrupted him.
His voice was a little low. Although he stopped Zhao Ke's words, his mood was not good at all. After all, he couldn't understand Xu Xu's decision.
Sun Beitao is naturally very familiar with his script. He has been in the film and television industry for so many years, so he must have a deep understanding of the high quality of this script.
With such a high-quality script that may break the ratings record, and such a role that suits Xu Xu, Sun Beitao couldn't understand why the other party could refuse.
Until this time, Sun Beitao still didn't think that the script written by Shen Mu himself could compare with the Zhengying team behind him. Didn't the other party copy the previous script?
Or perhaps Sun Beitao forced himself not to think in this direction.
If that is true, doesn't it mean that his decades of hard work and such a strong team are not as good as Shen Mu alone?
"Mr. Xu, if you are dissatisfied with my script, you can raise it directly and we will modify it as appropriate!"
Sun Beitao was much calmer than Zhao Ke. He took a deep breath and then spoke with some skill, which not only made the other party feel comfortable but also kept him from being at a disadvantage.
"That's right, I'll modify it as appropriate."
Ye Lan couldn't help but want to speak again, but fortunately, Shen Mu next to her pulled her sleeves, making her just curl her lips.
Shen Mu has already seen that Xu Xu is very interested in the script of the Wolf Fang List. Since he is destined to be the winner today, why bother to offend Sun Beitao in death?
Although the other party claims to be the Tarzan Beidou in the world of TV drama directors, it is a bit exaggerated. After all, he is indeed a veteran in this circle. He should try not to offend him as much as possible.
"Director Sun, as I said just now, your script is very good. If there is a chance, we can cooperate next time!"
Xu Xu suppressed his displeasure with Zhao Ke, but the words that came out of his mouth made Sun Beitao's face darken.
Obviously he had to face the fact that he least wanted to face.
If by this time, Sun Beitao still cannot understand the meaning of the other party's words, then he is hiding his ears and stealing the bell.
Your script is very good, but there is only one reason why I won't choose it this time, that is, there is a better script this time.
And where are the better scripts?
Naturally, it is the script that Xu Xu still has written in his hands!
"As for this time, I plan to cooperate with Director Shen first!"
Xu Xu finally said the answer, which made the room a little quiet for a while, but the moods of the two parties were completely different.
Among them, Sun Beitao and Zhao Ke had gloomy faces, Shen Mu had a smile on his face, and Ye Lan looked at Zhao Ke over there provocatively.
As for Xu Xu's sister Xu Caihe, her mood is a bit complicated.
Looking at his younger brother's slightly pale but somewhat lifted eyes, Xu Caihe felt a little relieved with tears in his eyes.
Because the words Xu Xu said had already wiped away the decadence of the past three years, indicating that starting from today, he would get over the shock of the year.
This has been Xu Caihe's only wish for three years. She was heartbroken for this little brother, but she didn't know what to do.
I was afraid that I would say something wrong and break my brother's heart.
In fact, Xu Xu may not be so fragile. Three years is enough for a person to get over a period of deep sadness, and it is also enough to heal the wounds of the past.
But as the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. In the past three years, Xu Caihe has not said a few words to Xu Xu, so how can he know what his brother is thinking?
But today, the look on Xu Xu's face and the tone of her voice were completely different from those in the past three years. She must have been really attracted by the script that Shen Mu brought.
Xu Caihe may not understand Xu Xu's other thoughts, but she only knows one thing. Her younger brother has never given up on acting.
This is also the reason why Xu Caihe refuses most visitors but lets those screenwriters and directors come in, because he is thinking about which script can impress Xu Xu and make him cheer up again.
The hard work paid off, and today there was finally a script that moved Xu Xu.
That's why Xu Caihe is so excited. This may be a major turning point in his younger brother's life.
"Director Shen, I accepted the role of Mei Lang!"
Xu Xu turned her gaze to Shen Mu, her eyes still twinkling with light, as if she had already stepped into the role of Mei Lang who was reborn from the ashes, and it had some overlap with his own life.
After reading the script of Wolf Fang Bang, Shen Mu had a very strange feeling.
It seems that not only is this role tailor-made for me, but I also seem to be born for this role.
The two are also reborn from the ashes, and the people and characters who have experienced the same thing seem to have some unknown resonance.
No matter the characters or people, we cannot miss each other.
"Mr. Xu is indeed a cheerful person, so I wish us cooperation..."
"Wait a minute!"
Just when Shen Mu stood up and wanted to shake Xu Xu's hand and settle the matter, a loud voice suddenly came from beside him, interrupting what he had not finished.
When several people saw that it was Sun Beitao who was speaking, they all frowned slightly.
Even Xu Xu's good impression of the other party has disappeared. Is this a persistent pursuit?
There is an unwritten law in the entertainment industry, that is, the melon that is forced is not sweet.
If an actor doesn't want to act, even the director may not be able to control the other person's thoughts.
Forcibly dragging an actor into the crew will only result in a lose-lose situation.
Moreover, in today’s legal society, you need to sign a contract to do anything. If the other party is not willing, then you can only give up.
But looking at Sun Beitao's intentions now, after Xu Xu made his position clear, it seems that he still doesn't want to give up.
This sounds a bit rogue, no different from Zhao Ke just now.
"Director Sun, I already have a choice!"
Xu Xu's tone was still calm, but any smart person could understand the underlying meaning of his words.
If you keep pestering me, it will be bad for everyone.
"Five million an episode!"
Just when Ye Lan looked at Sun Beitao with a sneer, he unexpectedly said such a sentence from the latter's mouth, which made everyone in the room stunned for a moment, and Shen Mu's heart skipped a beat.
They all knew what Sun Beitao was talking about, which was that as long as Xu Xu joined his side, he would get a salary of 500,000 yuan per episode.
In today's TV drama circle, the salary of a second-tier actor per episode ranges from 100,000 to 300,000, and the price offered by Sun Beitao is almost not the treatment of a popular first-tier actor.
Xu Xu starred in "Myth 1" and "Myth 3" and was praised as the most beautiful boy in the country. At that time, no one could compare to her in the limelight. It is not an exaggeration to call her a top-notch actor.
It's a pity that the fire three years ago caused Xu Xu's life to go through ups and downs.
Nowadays, things have changed, but what people still remember is nothing more than those two extremely classic costume characters.
Xu Xu, who has been out of the spotlight for three years and rarely appears in the public eye, has a very vague identity.
If you really want to talk about it, I'm afraid it's not even as good as ordinary second-tier players like Long Kai.
Actors and stars both need exposure and even more popularity. Xu Xu may still be a little popular now because of the two Excalibur films, but his exposure is completely lacking.
When Sun Beitao first came here, he naturally had no intention of offering a salary of 500,000 yuan per episode.
At this moment, he is so courageous. In addition to the reason that he really doesn't want to give up on Xu Xu, there may also be some motivational elements.
To be honest, Sun Beitao, who is already in his sixties, is not as impulsive as those young directors, but today he couldn't control himself.
I am a leader in the field of TV drama directors in the Dragon Kingdom, but I can't compete with a young boy who just graduated from school. How can he pull off such an old face?
Even Shen Mu is just a notorious little director who doesn't even deserve to be called a rising star. Sun Beitao is extremely unwilling to lose in the hands of such a person.
