In the next few days, actors such as Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei started shooting or re-shooting some scenes, or acted as co-stars for Hu Jun and Lin Zhiying to set them off, and worked hard to create wonderful scenes.
Time flies very quickly when one person is serious about doing something, let alone a group of people who get along well with each other and are serious together?
Just like that, half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
As mid-May approaches, the weather in Zhejiang Province is getting hotter and hotter, and it has been a month and a half since Chu Xuan joined the group.
It was noon and the weather outside was too hot. It was not a pleasure to stay in the room and turn off the air conditioner.
The sun is shining brightly, and hot wind blows from time to time, but once the air conditioner is turned on, there are two worlds one mile away.
Hotel executive suite.
On the sofa, Chu Xuan and Wang Jinhua sat opposite each other.
"Sister, there's no need to be in such a hurry. I haven't even finished filming Murong Fu's scenes, so what are you planning to do again?"
After Wang Jinhua dealt with Li Congcheng's matter, she rushed back to the "Tian Long Ba Bu" crew two days ago. Today she was planning to give Chu Xuan a surprise, but Chu Xuan didn't seem to be too interested in the surprise.
"Hey!" Wang Jinhua crossed his arms and scolded with a smile: "Other newcomers are eager to live longer, but you seem to be disgusted with it? Chu Xuan, I tell you, quickly put away your salty heart,
Otherwise, I will give you a good look in the future."
Chu Xuan pretended to smile shyly, winked at Wang Jinhua and said, "Sister, filming is so tiring."
"Tired?" Wang Jinhua seemed to have heard something funny, and said with a smile in her eyes: "I heard that in the past few days when I was away, you have been hiking and sightseeing, and you have cleared the scenic areas near the film and television city.
Well, you still have drinks with Hu Jun from time to time in the evening? All you need is a fishing rod."
Chu Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud, and said at a loss of whether to laugh or cry: "Sister, the fishing thing is over. Can you never mention it again? I promise not to fish in this life!"
Wang Jinhua smiled when he heard this, pointed at the document in Chu Xuan's hand, and changed the subject: "Take a closer look, what do you think?"
Hearing her words, Chu Xuan shook his head and said, without looking at the document: "It's not appropriate."
Wang Jinhua raised her eyebrows: "They are both protagonists, but they are still not suitable? Do you want to go to heaven?"
Chu Xuan was amused by her words and smiled slightly: "Sister, let's analyze it rationally."
Chu Xuan put the documents on the table and pointed at one place.
""A Chinese Ghost Story" is a big IP jointly produced and invested by Hong Kong, Taiwan, Mainland China, and New Homeland. This drama is definitely popular, there is no doubt about it, but if I play Ning Caichen, sister, you want
The price must be high, right?"
"You don't have to worry about that. You are an actor. You are only responsible for acting well. I will take care of the rest."
Wang Jinhua's tone was very calm, as if it was easy to get the leading role of this drama co-produced by many places, and she acted very strong and confident.
"Okay." Seeing her strong attitude, Chu Xuan shrugged and said: "Even if you are good and have obtained the resources, sister, don't forget the old version of "A Chinese Ghost Story". What do you think of Teacher Guorong and Teacher Zu Xian?
How about Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian?"
"Do you still need to ask?" Wang Jinhua said in an indisputable tone: "An insurmountable classic."
"Isn't this right?" Chu Xuan spread his hands and said: "Sister, let's not think about the remakes of film and television dramas that cannot surpass the old versions in the future. Even if we can earn salary and fame, the characters themselves are absolutely terrible.
When it comes to controversy, the audience will only find fault with you, which is a thankless job."
"A Chinese Ghost Story" was an IP drama starring Xu Xiaodong, Da S, Wu Jing and other actors in the previous life.
The noise was loud and the raindrops were very small.
At that time, it caused some enthusiasm in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, but it only gained momentum in the mainland and then disappeared.
Regardless of the performance of the actors, as Chu Xuan just said, a drama destined to be unable to surpass the original version, no matter how you perform it, it will not make a big splash. It will only be complained by the audience, and thus gradually forgotten by the market.
Wang Jinhua was silent for a moment, nodded and said: "It makes some sense."
"Really?" Chu Xuan smiled.
"Next." Wang Jinhua raised her eyebrows.
Chu Xuan smiled when he heard this and pointed at the file again.
""The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", this drama is led by TVB, right?"
"uh-huh."
Wang Jinhua crossed his arms, crossed his legs, and nodded.
Chu Xuan raised his eyebrows and glanced at Wang Jinhua, then leaned back on the sofa, raised a smile and said: "In a drama led by TVB, as the main investor, why should they let others play the protagonist instead of cultivating their own actors?"
An entertainment company or TV station invests in a drama, but the protagonist is someone else? It can only be said that this entertainment company is out of their minds.
Spending your own money and giving resources to others for no reason is not only something that capital cannot do, but even people from ordinary families cannot do such stupid things.
Unless, there is mutual benefit.
"But..." Chu Xuan added: "Capital is highly profitable. As long as the money is large, it is not impossible to give up the protagonist."
Chu Xuan looked at Wang Jinhua and said: ""A Chinese Ghost Story" is a joint investment from the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and three places. The company participated in investing in "A Chinese Ghost Story". If I meet the requirements for the role audition, the company will only pay a maximum of 18 million.
Maybe the price will allow me to play Ning Caichen."
Chu Xuan continued: "But "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" is exclusively led by TVB. If you want to take over the resources of the protagonist Kou Zhong, the price you have to pay will only be greater than that of "A Chinese Ghost Story"."
"There are no resources that I can't get, there are only resources that I don't want to get." Wang Jinhua said lightly.
Chu Xuan was stunned for a moment and gave a thumbs up: "Sister, you are awesome!"
However, Chu Xuan slowly shook his head at the next moment and said: "But the shooting time of these two dramas was before the broadcast of "Dragon Movie". However, "Dragon Movie" did not start broadcasting, so the commercial value of me, a newcomer, would be
It’s not reflected.”
Chu Xuan bent down, picked up the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and said: "As a newcomer, with your persuasion, the company gave me the character resources of "Dragon Babu". This can be regarded as a newcomer gift. But, my
Will the company agree to give me a large resource at a cost before the commercial value is reflected?"
"You don't have to worry about these." Wang Jinhua said calmly.
Chu Xuan nodded, but said: "Sister, you think about the best for our artists, we artists should also be grateful, right? We have to think about you no matter what, right?"
"What do you mean?" Wang Jinhua frowned.
Chu Xuan looked at her and smiled: "Sister, don't forget. Most of the company's artists, and even almost all the superstars, are signed under your name, not under the company's name. In other words, we
They are your artists, not the company's. We artists only have a profit-sharing relationship with the company, not a subordinate relationship."
Chu Xuan continued to smile: "The more powerful you are, the more the company will be wary of you."
Wang Jinhua took a deep look at Chu Xuan, and then smiled: "You know a lot? But, I am not strong, how can you live so well?"
"Yes." Chu Xuan nodded and smiled: "Just because you are good to us, we artists should also think about you, right?"
"If you have anything to say, just say it." Wang Jinhua raised her eyebrows.
"Let's change our thinking and act in an urban drama." Chu Xuan said with a smile.
"Urban drama?" Wang Jinhua muttered.
Chu Xuan said with a smile on his face: "Although costume dramas dominate the screen now, good urban dramas are not bad. The most important thing is that the investment cost of urban dramas is low. Before my commercial value is reflected, the company has to pay
Maybe one or two million will allow me to win the leading role in an urban drama. With such a small amount of money, and with you here, it shouldn’t be difficult to get the company to agree."
Chu Xuan leaned back on the sofa and said with a smile: "Compared with the excessive price paid for a costume drama, which will make the company more and more wary of you, sister, my proposal is less troublesome and saves more worry."
"Let me think about it." Wang Jinhua pondered for some time, while Chu Xuan drank tea and waited.
Half a moment.
Wang Jinhua raised her head and said: "I asked the team to inquire about urban dramas during this period to see if there are any good dramas. If there are, the best, if not..."
As she said that, Wang Jinhua lowered her head and glanced at the documents on the coffee table and said: ""A Chinese Ghost Story" or "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", choose one of the two, you can't run away, it's not up to you."
Wang Jinhua got up and walked towards the room, preparing to contact the team.
Chu Xuan glanced at her back, then lowered his head and glanced at "A Chinese Ghost Story" and "The Legend of Two Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" among the files on the coffee table. He suddenly shook his head and said: "The weather is getting hotter and hotter over time, and it is not suitable for shooting ancient costumes."
For the drama, I wear thick clothes and put makeup on my face, I feel tired just thinking about it.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Jinhua turned around suddenly and looked at Chu Xuan with eyes full of danger signals.
"what did you just say?"
Chu Xuan was startled for a moment and looked up at Wang Jinhua.
Wang Jinhuahuan folded his hands and said with a faint smile: "You just kept talking about it, and you said it was for my own good, and you talked about urban dramas, and you didn't shoot costumes because it would be very tiring, right?"
Chu Xuan shook his head frequently: "No."
"Then what do you mean by what you just said?" Wang Jinhua had a dangerous smile on his face.
"That sentence just now? What did I just say? I didn't seem to say anything, right?" Chu Xuan looked confused.
Wang Jinhua dropped her smile, stretched out her hand and pointed at Chu Xuan, her voice louder: "Because it would be very tiring, you turned down the opportunity to be the protagonist of two IP dramas..."
Saying that, Wang Jinhua suddenly smiled: "Chu Xuan! I have never seen an actor like you! An actor who is afraid of being tired and refuses to play the protagonist of a costume drama? Believe it or not, I want to beat you to death right now!"
Wang Jinhua's sudden change made Chu Xuan unstoppable. He burst into laughter and got up and ran away.
With a "pang" sound, an empty mineral water bottle hit the ground beside him.
"Sister, that was just my nonsense, really."
There was a "bang" sound, and it was Wang Jinhua's little bag.
"Sister, I was wrong!"
Wang Jinhua couldn't catch up with Chu Xuan. She stood there with her arms akimbo and panting. She said with a smile in her eyes but a slightly exasperated tone: "What you said today makes sense, next time! I'll tell you Chu Xuan, next time
No matter what drama you perform next, there is no need to discuss it!"
Chu Xuan squatted on the ground, his head lowered and everyone was dumbfounded with laughter.
He didn't expect that Wang Jinhua's ears were so good, and that even his whispers could be heard.
This is purely a mistake.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
Chu Xuan opened the door, and Liu Yifei outside the door blinked and said: "Brother Xuan, have you packed up? You are ready to leave for Yundian Province."
