Chapter 270 The agent who was cannon fodder in the entertainment industry (41)
Shi Yuxu performed very well in the second period, and with Ai Xiaosu's acting as a demon pushing the popularity even higher, his popularity also soared a lot.
He was hidden because he offended the producer before, so he didn't have any dark spots.
Therefore, after the second live broadcast, Qingyou received a lot of proactive resources.
But most of them were not in line with her development plan for Shi Yuxu and she rejected them all.
However, there was a director of a military-themed movie who came to me and wanted to cooperate.
Qingyou asked the other party to go to the company the next day to talk.
the next day.
Director Xia brought the screenwriter and script to Star Entertainment.
Qingyou took Shi Yuxu to meet him.
The two parties chatted for a while, and then Director Xia handed the script to Qingyou to read.
Qingyou read through it roughly and found that the script was really good. The story line revolved around the male protagonist of the peacekeeping force. The whole process was hard-core, tense and exciting, passionate, blood and tears, and full of love and justice.
This drama is not in the memory of the original actor, so there are only two possibilities, either it was not filmed, or it was filmed without any splash.
But the script is really good. As long as the actors don't make any mistakes, it can pass the review, and it's unlikely to be rejected, so the former is very likely.
She thought for a while and asked: "Do you want to make this drama into a movie?"
Director Xia nodded, "Yes, I am very optimistic about this script. As long as the actors can interpret the characters in the script, I believe the results of this movie will not be bad."
Qingyou continued to ask: "Then you want to invite Shi Yuxu to be the male protagonist?"
Director Xia nodded again, "Yes, I watched the variety shows he participated in and found that his image is very suitable for the male protagonist. The key is that I admire his performance in the variety shows."
"He has gradually developed the image of a tough guy in variety shows. I think he is not afraid of hardship or tiredness. He has adapted to many training methods. Plus his acting is not bad. The filming should have the feeling of a male protagonist that I want.
"
Qingyou also nodded, "Shi Yuxu is indeed suitable for the role of the male protagonist."
"Director Xia, if you want Shi Yuxu to play the male lead, are there any additional conditions?"
She felt that it was not that simple for Director Xia to select the teacher Yu Xu.
When Director Xia heard Qingyou's initiative to ask, he smiled and said, "It's not that there are any conditions attached, I just want to ask if your boss is interested in investing in this movie."
There was a bit of bitterness on his face, and he said truthfully: "We don't have investors for this movie yet."
Since he's here to solicit investment, he doesn't want to be secretive. It's better to be sincere.
Qingyou also guessed that this was the case. After all, judging from the direction of the script, filming not only had to go abroad, but also required a lot of expensive props. If you want to shoot that kind of scene effect, you also have to use special effects, so the cost is not ordinary.
Already.
"This script is a good script, but if it is to be filmed, the initial investment cannot be less than 100 million."
"If you want it to be effective, you have to spend 200 to 300 million yuan."
She added: "Such a large investment, plus the fact that it is not a popular subject, is very risky for investors!"
Director Xia smiled bitterly, "Yes, but this script is really good. As long as the funds are available, the results will definitely not be bad."
It is precisely because the investment is large but the return is unknown and may not even be recovered, so he has been investing for more than a year, but no one is willing to invest.
After all, movies with this theme are indeed a bit unpopular nowadays, and there are no examples of such hits before.
Originally, he and the screenwriter were ready to give up.
But I accidentally saw that live broadcast and found that Shi Yuxu is very suitable for playing the male lead role, especially after the variety show is over, he can still gain popularity.
Then I happened to hear someone say that the CEO of Xingchen Entertainment connived with Shi Yuxu’s manager and directly invested in the artists she led to revive a variety show.
That's why I came here to try it.
Qingyou smiled and said nothing, but handed the script to Shi Yuxu and said, "See if you like this script."
Shi Yuxu was surprised after listening to the conversation between Qingyou and Director Xia. This investment was too big.
At the same time, I also understood that Director Xia couldn't get investment to film this drama. While he was interested in him, he was also interested in Xingchen Entertainment, the company behind him.
"Okay!" Shi Yuxu felt that his agent was serious, so he took the script and started reading it.
After reading it, he looked a little complicated.
Seeing this, Qingyou smiled and asked, "You just have to tell the truth, whether you like it or not, and whether you want to take the photo or not, that's enough."
Shi Yuxu already knew her temperament, so he nodded and told the truth, "I like the script very much, and I also want to film it."
Then the conversation changed: "But the investment is indeed too big and the risk is very high. Not a single movie with this theme has ever been a hit, and there are not even many movies with this theme in China."
What if you invest so much money and the box office fails?
Director Xia was anxious, "This has never been done before. Either the plot is not good enough, or the investment is not large, and the passionate and burning scenes were not filmed."
"We have everything in this script."
He really wanted to make the script into a movie, and he was very optimistic about the script.
It's a pity that others are not optimistic about it. He has been soliciting investment for more than a year, but he has been rejected every time. Some people even ridiculed him, thinking that even if the money is thrown away, it may not make a big impact.
Now that he heard that Shi Yuxu liked him but was not that optimistic, he was mentally prepared to be rejected out of habit.
Seeing Director Xia's eager look, Qingyou said, "I'm very optimistic about this script, but I'm not responsible for the investment issue, and I can't give you an answer now."
"Why don't you leave the script and I'll go see Mr. Huo this afternoon to see if he wants to invest."
Qingyou's words made Director Xia, who was about to give up, look surprised. "No problem, I'll leave the script behind. You and Mr. Huo can discuss it slowly. I'm not in a hurry."
As long as Qingyou is willing to talk to Mr. Huo, there is still hope.
Qingyou smiled and said, "I'll give you a call when Mr. Huo makes a decision."
Director Xia nodded, "Okay, thank you very much!"
The two chatted for a while, and then Director Xia said goodbye to the screenwriter.
After they left, Shi Yuxu couldn't help but ask: "Sister You, do you really want to talk to Mr. Huo? Are you very optimistic about this script?"
Qingyou nodded, "Yes, I am very optimistic about this script."
She said with a somewhat indulgent smile: "The key is that it suits you, and you like it and want to act. That's enough."
When Shi Yuxu heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved and warm in his heart. His agent really doted on them.
He thought for a while and then expressed his concerns, "But with such a big investment, what if the box office is not good in the end?"
Qingyou smiled confidently: "You have to believe in my vision."
"As long as Director Xia shoots what's in the script, he will never go out on the street."
“If it’s an unpopular subject, it won’t make a splash, but once it becomes a hit, it’s basically a big hit.”
"I think this script has the potential to become a hit, and I'm very optimistic about it."
"The key is that your first film in the industry is a box-office hit, which can directly catapult you to the top."
Although Shi Yuxu was famous for a while, now he is not even as good as the third tier.
But if there is a movie that hits the box office, wins important awards, and receives a few high-profile endorsements, you can jump directly to the front line.
