Chapter 24 Selecting Bai Xiaosheng and Entering Beijing
Chapter 24 Selecting Bai Xiaosheng and going to Beijing
They say entertainment is a circle.
In fact, there is no circle.
When Jiang Yan heard this big shot's name, he suddenly felt that there was something to the six-dimensional space theory.
After just a few moves, you are actually able to make contact with people you can't even touch with a stick?
The world is really wonderful.
But Jiang Yan won't be particularly excited.
For him currently, the greatest significance of Ma Weitu may be to raise the shipping price for him.
And there’s no telling whether we can finally get in touch with them.
So the two chatted for a while and then set off.
The production company of "Little Li Flying Knives" is China Television Company of Wanwan.
Hengdian took over part of the filming location.
So if we really want to win the supporting role, Jiang Yan will save a lot of time.
Soon, the two met a director named Jin.
Jiang Yan didn't have much impression, but he thought he would be well-known in the industry if he could be an executive director.
Fan Datian looked familiar to him. After chatting for a while, Director Jin asked Jiang Yan, "Do you have any martial arts skills?"
Is this considered an interview?
Jiang Yan quickly replied: "Yes, I have been playing with knives for ten years. If you have a real object, I can demonstrate it."
"That's not necessary, as long as you have martial arts skills." Director Jin explained with a smile: "Our other director is Yuan Heping, and his requirements are relatively high."
Yuan Heping.
A big shot who broke into Hollywood.
Jiang Yan naturally knows this.
However, no matter how high the requirements are, Jiang Yan feels that he can handle it.
He had acquired the sword skills of the ancient military before. Not only was his sword skills fierce, but his body was also stronger than before.
To take a step back, even if you don't know anything, you should have an attitude of not being afraid of hardship or tiredness.
After all, we are only eighteen years old, we are still children.
Who doesn’t like children who can endure hardship?
So Jiang Yan patted his chest and said, "I came out this time just to endure hardship. Don't worry, Director Jin!"
"Okay, I'm optimistic about you!" Director Jin said with a smile, and then took Jiang Yan to another office.
Jiang Yan thought this was a formal audition, but someone directly showed him a cast list.
"Take a look, the ones that have been checked are not decided yet, just pick one."
Jiang Yan heard this and took the list.
After taking a look, I found that there were not many left.
And the remaining scenes lasted no longer than ten days.
But Jiang Yan didn't care, it was just a test anyway.
So after thinking carefully, he directly clicked one of them.
"Just him." Jiang Yan agreed.
Bai Xiaosheng.
A villain who was killed by Li Xunhuan.
It doesn't matter whether you die or not.
The most important thing is that this character not only knows martial arts, but also knows almost everything about the world.
Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to compile a weapons manual.
And there is also a fight scene with Wu Jing, which will definitely be interesting.
Jiang Yan thought it was very suitable.
As for the age issue?
We are spending money, why can’t we change it?
"Okay, wait for me for a while." Seeing Jiang Yan choose Bai Xiaosheng, Jin Demao looked at Jiang Yan in surprise, but then picked up the phone and walked out.
Jiang Yan saw this and asked Fan Datian.
Fan Datian smiled and gave him a calm look, and then said softly: "I'll check it out later."
Jiang Yan nodded to express his understanding.
What are you looking for? Money, of course.
Jiang Yan was relieved. Problems that could be solved with money were not problems.
A few minutes later, Jin Demao finished the call, and Fan Datian immediately joined him.
The two of them murmured something about something they didn't know, but when Fan Datian came back, he smiled and gestured with his hands.
Jiang Yan was stunned and asked tentatively: "50,000?"
Fan Datian nodded.
Jiang Yan smiled: "I thought it would cost hundreds of thousands, but I didn't expect that it would be solved in 50,000."
"Fifty thousand is a lot, young master!" Fan Datian said with a smile, "A drama director can only make this amount."
"Well, it's me who is different." Jiang Yan curled his lips.
He is indeed different.
After all, this is 1998.
A monthly salary of two thousand is considered a very high-end white-collar worker.
Fifty thousand yuan would take an ordinary person several years to earn.
And it’s only been over a week since he traveled through time.
Many things will still be viewed habitually from the perspective of future generations.
For those somewhat famous directors in later generations, 50,000 is probably considered an insulting offer.
Not to mention the actors.
Remuneration can easily reach millions of dollars.
Alas, this is not advisable.
Jiang Yan was instantly alert.
We don’t want to become a Celestial Dragon who doesn’t eat the fireworks of this world.
Or else one day he blurts out: Six hundred days, no more eggs?
By then, I estimate that I will only die in society.
.....
It was a small role, so things were settled quickly.
The crew will start filming in a few days.
I have a total of 12 days of schedule and five episodes, so I can join the cast at the end of June.
The salary is also 8,000, and the scenes are all in Hengdian as I thought before, so I don't even have to travel and travel.
After transferring the account and signing the contract, Jiang Yan directly asked Fan Datian to book a hotel.
That night, Jiang Yan once again demonstrated his magical powers.
And Fan Datian also experienced the joy of being a comrade with Jiang Yan.
There is a bottomless pit-like human shield present, and the output from the rear shows the martial arts of Class 18.
In the end, Jin Demao couldn't even hold the little sister's waist.
It's just a pity that it costs a lot of public relations money.
After the show ended, Jiang Yan waved to the young ladies and asked them to go back and be good people.
Fan Datian's eyes showed some regret when he looked at the young lady, but he didn't say anything in the end.
After seeing off Director Jin, the two chatted in the tea room again.
"Fifty thousand yuan buys a supporting role, and it's just you." While chatting, Fan Datian started teasing Jiang Yan.
In this circle, women rely on their bodies and men rely on relationships. This is normal.
But it's really rare for someone like Jiang Yan to spend a lot of money on a supporting role, or it's the first time I've seen him.
After all, who comes to the entertainment industry to play tickets, who would do such a dead-end job?
"I told you, it's for a dream." Jiang Yan explained forcefully with a smile.
Fifty thousand yuan can buy you a martial arts skill. This business will be very profitable.
It's just that he can't say this kind of thing.
So it doesn't matter if he is taken as a victim.
At this moment, Jiang Yan was already imagining the scene where he would jump several feet high after coming out of another world.
"Okay, you have money and you are willful!"
Fan Datian smiled and teased a few words.
Then he asked tentatively, "Then again, if you have the capital, why don't you shoot it yourself."
"The total cost of a drama is not much money for you, and you can play whoever you want."
Everything is cheap these days, and 5 million to produce a TV series with about 20 episodes is considered a high-quality product. Of course, a TV series like "Yangtai Water Margin" is another matter.
In terms of salary, mainland actors who earn more than RMB 10,000 per episode are already considered wealthy.
Moreover, Fan Datian believes that Jiang Yan has advantages and does not have to worry about the TV series not being sold.
"Let's finish the play first and then talk about it. How about you come and help me then?" Jiang Yan said.
The plan is of course like this, but it has to be done step by step.
"Okay, I'm good at producing, I promise to arrange it for you."
It’s good to have ideas, but I’m afraid I don’t have any.
As friends, I will help you today, but will you help me next time?
Fan Datian was now satisfied.
This trip is really worthwhile!
And Jiang Yan was also very satisfied.
With the help of someone familiar with the job, the work will definitely be efficient.
At this moment, he is already thinking about what drama to film.
Money or no money doesn't matter.
Again.
Must be high martial arts or above.
This is inevitable.
If you don’t reach the sky in one step, then why bother?
So it doesn’t matter if it’s the protagonist or not.
But it must be the ceiling of combat power.
Thinking about it this way, it seems that there are only two dramas that are more suitable.
Journey to the West? Or the List of Gods?
Should you play the role of Sanqing or the Jade Emperor?
It's so hard to choose.
Alas, another happy trouble.
.....
The next day, Jiang Yan rarely slept in.
Now he is completely empty.
It will still take about ten days to complete the procedures in Xiangjiang, and "Little Li Fei Knife" will not start filming for more than half a month.
I also have plenty of room, and I don’t have a suitable crew, so there’s no point in continuing to be an extra.
Seeing that nothing happened, Jiang Yan prepared to go to the capital to play with Lao Tie.
After making the call, Wu Jing happened to be free, so Jiang Yan set off immediately.
We plan to spend two days in the capital first and return to Hengdian with Wu Jing on the third day. He is the second male lead and has to attend the opening ceremony.
I communicated with the editor and decided to fine-tune the plot later. Many of the saved manuscripts had to be changed, so these chapters are a bit flat, so I apologize.
