Chapter 10 Determining the male and female lead and buying a car
Chapter 10 The hero and heroine confirm and buy a car
In the next two weeks, Wei Yang began to work in school and on the crew, working as a student here and as an examiner there.
He was a little afraid that one day he would not turn a corner, and he would point to the teacher and ask him to introduce himself...
While busy, the crew of "The Best of Us" is also making continuous progress.
On April 18, Wei Yang passed the audition and was officially confirmed to star in the second male lead Xinghe.
As of April 22, most of the supporting roles have been basically confirmed, and most of the main creators have also been cast.
Beginning on April 23, the crew will conduct the final screening of the remaining main creative roles, mainly the male and female protagonists.

General Manager Xia Cong was personally in charge, and even Director Zheng, who had not been seen for a long time, attended the meeting as a non-voting delegate, which shows how much he attaches importance to this meeting.
"We have already contacted the school, which is Chongming Middle School. The school leaders are very supportive of our filming..."
"Relevant props have already been produced, and they will all be completed before starting the machine..."
The two of them drove back and forth, switching to Li Jiahang in urban areas where no one was checking, and Wei Yang in remote places where no one was checking.
Now that things have reached this level, it’s actually a good choice.
…
Li Jiahang is a little envious. His role is only in 5 episodes. In this case, the price of a single episode is usually a bit more expensive, but it is only 1,000 per episode.
"This show has made tens of thousands of dollars."
Wei Yang was okay, but Li Jiahang couldn't help but squealed and forced him to drive back to school to show off to his roommates and classmates.
Although Wei Yang was one against three, in the end he still defeated Zheng Dong and two strong reinforcements, plus a few sycophants who were trying to lick Lao Zheng.
Wei Yang obviously had a draft in mind. After expressing his thoughts, he added a final summary.
"It must be a group of people trying to trick you. Damn it, these people are sick. They have the ability to challenge you."
"Handsome, young-looking, capable of acting like a teenager, with a restrained temperament, which fits Yu Huai's character. He has good acting skills. He also had a certain reputation because of his success in "A Child Riding the Dragon" and "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang", but his salary was not
Not expensive…”
A total of 5,000 yuan, which is barely enough to make back the rent.
Li Jiahang was indignant and suddenly slapped his forehead: "I still have the honey you bought at home. I'll go get some for you to relieve your hangover."
He also understood why Wei Yang told him not to worry about running out of money or a computer, since his love was waiting for him here.
"well…"
"The hotel and lunch boxes have been arranged, and four vehicles have been left ready to maneuver at any time..."
"There's no class tomorrow afternoon, so come with me to the second-hand car market. It's really inconvenient for me to run around here without a car."
Xia Cong muttered the name and looked at Wei Yang: "Tell me what you think."
"How much wine did you drink?"
In the early morning, a red-faced Wei Yang returned to the rental house, sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.
Sure enough, He Lingfeng, Ma Xin and all the classmates were envious, not that Wei Yang had a car, but that he bought the car himself.
"Oh what?"
But this is not a common practice. Wei Yang has already called home and asked for help to get a driver's license and send it over. The supervision is not strict now, especially in a small place like his hometown. As long as he has connections and money, this matter is not difficult to handle.
"came back?"
Yang Rong has the approval of the director and screenwriter, and her own salary is only one-seventh of Shu Chang's, or even lower, so the crew has no reason not to use her.
Wei Yang can drive, but does not have a driver's license now. Li Jiahang took the driver's license test in high school, but is not very good at driving.
"Director Zheng?"
Before choosing to discuss, each department first reported the situation, and Xia Cong and Liu Junjie were still very satisfied.
It can also be seen that actors make more money than screenwriters!
Fortunately, the distance between actors and screenwriters hasn't grown too big yet, at least in the field of TV dramas.
Different from the existence of bad streets in later generations, today's cars are still valuable and are a kind of luxury goods.
"The shooting team has basically been formed and will start gathering in late May to discuss the shooting plan together..."
Xia Cong asked Director Zheng for instructions again, and the latter nodded indifferently: "Just him."
After the official discussion was over, Director Zheng, who was unhappy at first, immediately cheered up: "Thank you for your hard work today, let's go, I'll treat you to a nightclub singing karaoke."
"I don't remember either, it's okay, just take a nap and you'll be fine."
Now that the female protagonist has been decided, the competition for the male protagonist is more intense. There are more than five selected, each with their own advantages and supporters.
After some discussion, they were at loggerheads. Xia Cong had a headache and looked at Liu Junjie.
"Shu Chang's advantage is that she became famous at a young age, has excellent acting skills, and has a certain reputation. Especially in the past two years, she has starred in "Lotus Lantern" and "Jingwei Reclamation", which have had considerable influence.
Even the wealthy Mr. Zheng didn’t say anything else. He was a coal boss, but he was not a grievance. He had to save what he needed to spend and what he needed to save.
"Cui Peng..."
Therefore, it is very happy and even proud for young people to be able to buy a car independently, even if it is just a second-hand Jetta.
"Everyone will work harder and we will be able to start the production on time in mid-to-late June."
"He may not be the most suitable, but he is currently the one with the best overall conditions."
You don’t have to be particularly popular, just be like Shu Chang. A drama can earn hundreds of thousands. With the current housing prices in Shanghai, it is not difficult to buy a house.
"Xiao Wei and I have the same opinion, choose Cui Peng."
Li Jiahang knew something about Wei Yang's savings, and there was only one possibility of having money to buy a car.
The lights in the living room turned on. Li Jiahang got up when he heard the noise and looked at Wei Yang. Knowing his good brother's drinking capacity, he couldn't help but frown.
"After a series of competitions, Shu Chang and Yang Rong were the last two roles we discussed."
Xia Cong was not surprised. During this period, Wei Yang and Liu Junjie stayed together every day, communicating with each other, and it was normal for them to reach an agreement.
However, he killed one thousand enemies and suffered two hundred losses himself. Wei Yang stayed in the nightclub for two hours before he was able to return home independently.
Wei Yang wants to buy a house in Shanghai before graduation. He can sell scripts even if he suffers from tenosynovitis, but if he becomes an actor, it's hard to say.
As for the price, the crew took care of it to some extent, but it didn't exceed the market price range. After all, the role was here, so it couldn't be too low.
…
The beast Lao Zheng was knocked down by him last time, but this time he even brought two wine mengzi to help him.
But it will be different in a few years. Even if a top screenwriter earns several million, it will only be a fraction of the salary of a star.
There was thunderous applause immediately at the scene, and team building was started right after the meeting. This is the real entrepreneur who is loved by employees...
He turned around and entered the kitchen. Within two minutes, Li Jiahang got a cup of warm honey water. Wei Yang took it and couldn't help but sigh.
Not to mention a Jetta, it’s just a small broken motorcycle. It’s impressive to pay for it yourself!
The deputy director introduced: "Yang Rong also has certain works and popularity. The disadvantage is that it is not very popular. The advantage is that Director Liu and Screenwriter Wei are very optimistic about it, and the salary is not expensive. The price of a single episode does not exceed 5,000 at most."
"Director Liu, what do you mean?"
The heroine Geng Geng's role is in about 20 episodes. A single episode costs RMB 35,000, which adds up to RMB 700,000. This is not a small sum for the low-cost "The Best of Us".
The speed was so fast that Wei Yang, who spent two years waiting for a Magic City license in his previous life, had mixed feelings.
The boss spoke, the director and screenwriter supported him, and there was no doubt about the choice of the male protagonist. The remaining few were better chosen, and the battle was resolved quietly.
"Has the pay come down?"
"The expenditure budget has been initially estimated. Without counting actors' remuneration and other miscellaneous costs for the time being, it will be around 4.5 million..."
Some people finished and left, while others stayed here, waiting for the following meeting. The assistant director presided over the meeting and controlled the computer to click on two pictures on the projector screen.
What Wei Yang was waiting for was a middle finger from Li Jiahang. He laughed and drank the honey water in the cup.
"The first person in my life who brought me honey water to relieve my hangover was actually a man. Why didn't I think of finding a female roommate to share the house with?"
"15 episodes, 2,000 yuan per episode."
The next day, Wei Yang took Li Jiahang to the second-hand car market. Together with the transfer fee, he bought a second-hand white Jetta for 12,000, which he could drive back the same day.
Xia Cong pondered for a moment, then knocked on the table: "Tell me the next one."
The disadvantage is that it’s expensive, because our show is scheduled to conflict with hers, so Shu Chang’s agent asked for 35,000 an episode to come to our place.”
After showing off enough, Wei Yang and the two were about to go home. Someone wanted to go online at school and asked Wei Yang to give them a while.
This is nothing, but there are too many people who want to use the bus to surf the Internet, and there are simply not enough seats.
So, they squeezed in by themselves. Li Jiahang, who was sitting in the co-pilot, held one person in his arms, squeezed one person between the main console and the aisle of the back seat, four people crowded in the back seat, and another person lay on top of the four of them, and then they
Lie one on top of another.
A small Jetta finally pulled ten people. Wei Yang felt that if his car had consciousness, he would rather let the car dealer sell it as scrap metal than suffer this crime...
