Yu Qingjia felt extremely tired after putting down the phone.
She joined the group at the age of 14, and this year is her 6th year.
It can be said that nothing is accomplished in studies and career.
The only place where you can find confidence is on the stage of a small theater.
But every time she walked out of the cheers of the crowd, she felt exhausted and empty.
She doesn't have any skills to live outside.
Although her family is very wealthy, she still feels panicked.
She couldn't imagine her life without a stage and people cheering.
She also wanted to make a difference in film and television, but there was no opportunity, let alone company support.
The film and television industry is not something you can get into if you have money.
Otherwise, there are so many rich people, even those film and television companies, why can't they just support a newcomer just by saying they want to support him?
Yu Qingjia is actually envious of Li Jiaqi.
Although the latter got some small roles, for this role you have to look at what company produced it and what kind of quality the film was.
The heroines of ten low-budget online movies are not as good as a supporting role in a well-made drama.
She opened her "pocket" to live broadcast and wanted to say something from her heart to her fans, but after thinking about it she didn't know what to say, so she closed the pocket again.
crew
After Li Jiaqi put down the phone, he felt a little better.
Just then, she heard someone knocking on her door.
In confusion, I walked over and saw that it was Hu Senlin, the executive director of the crew.
She hesitated for a moment, then opened the door.
Her current role was actually won by Hu Senlin for her.
Let me mention here that there are many directors in a crew.
In addition to the chief director, there are several assistant directors, but some of these assistant directors don't know how to film at all and are responsible for things other than filming.
In addition to the chief director, the executive director is the second largest member of most crews, that is, the person most likely to become the chief director.
The crew is actually a gang, divided into cliques, and the internal fighting is extremely fierce.
It can be said that there are villains everywhere in the crew. If you don't pay attention at any time, you may be stabbed in the back. Some people may not even know how they died.
This is more cruel than any palace fighting drama you have seen. Even actors who are somewhat famous in the industry have been filming for a while, but they are often replaced.
Therefore, a little fool like Li Jiaqi must be careful.
It's impossible to be in a group without singing friends.
Hu Senlin, who was over forty and had a stubble on his face, walked in and closed the door behind him.
"Director Hu, what's wrong with you? You don't look good."
Li Jiaqi was extremely nervous at this time. Although Director Hu was usually very kind to her, she knew that there were too many cases where these people were still humans one second and turned into ghosts the next.
"Damn it, that bastard Lu Ming wants to replace you. He has a student who wants to play your role." Hu Senlin sat on the chair.
"ah!"
Although Li Jiaqi was frightened, he still walked over and gave the former a glass of water.
She wouldn't believe everything Hu Senlin said, maybe he wanted her body.
This is a common tactic used by these directors.
"That female student actually had an affair with him and thought I didn't know." Hu Senlin sneered, took the water glass and took a sip.
"Director Hu, then, the chief director's side..."
"It's okay, I pushed him back." Hu Senlin put down the water glass.
"Director Hu, thank you."
"It's okay. In fact, the thing is that he wanted the right to build the 'altar', but I got it."
Li Jiaqi knew about this. The altar was the most expensive "big prop" for the crew. It is said that the construction cost was more than 3 million.
That Lu Ming is from the producer's side and also an assistant director on the crew.
He seems to be very hard-working, very kind to the crew, and often video chats with his family.
But when it comes to the extras and the people who do chores for the crew, it's like a new look.
He was arrogant and uttered curse words. Last time, an extra accidentally blocked his way and was kicked to the ground by him.
There is also a "strange person" who helps him. This little girl has not graduated from college, but her methods are already very sophisticated.
Every day, I would look around like a hunting dog and tell the producers everything that happened on the set.
Li Jiaqi even suspected that if this little girl was really not good-looking, she would have given herself up and slept all the way there.
Hu Senlin and Lu Ming are said to be classmates at the film school. I don’t know how they ended up like this.
"Jiaqi, I came here just to tell you, be careful."
"I'm currently in contact with a drama. I think it will be successful and I'll give you an important role when the time comes."
When Li Jiaqi heard this, she felt happy, but she also knew that she could not believe everything Director Hu said.
"Okay, you can rest!"
"Director Hu, you should rest earlier."
Seeing Director Hu leave, Li Jiaqi felt relieved and wondered if he was too suspicious. Not all directors are bad!
Hu Senlin walked out of the set and went to a bar!
When he opened a big bag, Zhang Yuze was sitting inside with an indifferent expression.
"Hello, Director Hu!" After seeing the other party, Zhang Yuze stood up with a smile and extended his hand.
"Hello Mr. Zhang, I've kept you waiting for a long time." Hu Senlin's attitude was also very low at this time.
"Mr. Zhang, the matter has been resolved. The role in this drama belongs to Jiaqi."
"Very good, I can invest in that musical, but the protagonist must be Li Jiaqi."
Hearing this, Hu Senlin looked embarrassed, thought for a moment and said, "Mr. Zhang, Jiaqi is also an actor I admire very much, but this is a musical, and the singing skills of the protagonist must be guaranteed."
When Zhang Yuze heard this, his face suddenly darkened.
Hu Senlin was shocked when he saw this. This musical is extremely important to him.
I don’t know where this Zhang Yuze came from, but he was able to hook up with a major theater in Shanghai.
They have already approved the script he submitted and agreed to operate the play in the name of the National Grand Theater. As long as the investment is in place, the director will be his.
He has been living in a low profile for so many years just to be able to direct movies.
But in the industry, directors are basically required to have qualifications. Although he has been an assistant director for almost 15 years, he has not had a single film.
Although this is a musical, he is still the chief director, and the threshold is very high, so he is determined to win.
The roles in Li Jiaqi's next two dramas were actually filled by him through connections.
Just to please Zhang Yuze and be able to direct this musical.
"Let's do this! I also know Director Hu's difficulties. Let's make a package contract."
"Over there, Jiaqi will star as the second female lead. Director Hu will also make a drama tailored for her."
"This is no problem. As long as the investment is in place, I will shoot it."
When Hu Senlin heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately agreed.
Zhang Yuze smiled and said: "Don't be busy. I know that Director Hu is also a screenwriter. You have a script about 'Four Seasons of Life' that has been reviewed. That's the drama I want to vote for."
Hu Senlin was stunned when he heard this. This book was his heart and soul.
It took several years to write, but the quality of this book is quite high.
But he wants to find cooperation with big companies.
However, the "asking price" of the large company is too high, that is, it wants to take full control of the project.
What Hu Senlin fears most is that he will be kicked out of a big company after submitting the script.
So he also wanted to take a certain investment share, but no company agreed to it.
As for selling to small companies.
Firstly, this script is a literary film, and it may be possible to shoot it to win awards, but there is basically no market return, and small companies cannot afford this.
Secondly, even if it is used to win prizes, it still needs to be operated, and small companies do not have the strength to do it.
Zhang Yuze's company has no reputation at all in the industry, and even if he could invest in filming, he would not be able to realize his dream.
