"Alas!" Seeing Wu Qian's appearance, Tang Ze admitted that he had been hasty in agreeing to Wu Jianming's decision. He had a headache and rubbed his eyebrows.
Wu Qian now is not the bright and smart girl he remembered more than ten years later.
Now she is only 15 years old, with newly opened eyebrows, pretty eyes, and a childish face.
I just finished the third year of junior high school, maybe I haven’t entered the first year of high school yet!
When little Wu Qian saw that the director her uncle brought her to see was as handsome as a man from a comic book, her eyes lit up and she blurted out: "Brother, you are so good-looking, are you a star?"< /p>
Tangze's brows twitched, he said thank you gently, and then replied no.
But I saw little Wu Qian rushing to say: "Brother, brother, what role am I going to play? Is it a student?"
"I actually like acting the most, but unfortunately no crew is willing to take me on. I have liked Teacher Liu Keqing since I was a child. She is a role model for all girls, representing strength, intelligence, beauty and power."
"If I could act, I would learn from her and become a respected artist..."
Little Wu Qian was like a kitten that couldn't wait to share her feelings. She chatted and talked to Tang Ze in a long way. She didn't even notice that Tang Ze didn't ask her how she felt or whether this was an audition.
It's not good for Tang Ze to suppress the enthusiasm of little girls. It's not a bad thing if girls are more cheerful.
Seeing that she had finished speaking, and then looked forward to it like a girl waiting for praise from her elders, she said: "Wait here for a moment!"
Turning his back, he pulled Wu Jianming to the kitchen and asked: "Old Wu, are you sure she is suitable for the role of Mo Lin? Is she underage? How can a student of a university teacher be underage?"
Old Wu said aggrievedly: "But the script you gave me, Mr. Tang, didn't specify the age requirement, and you also told me that I could do whatever I wanted. Besides, when I was teaching as a freshman, there were actually quite a few minors, 17 years old. There are many, including some who are 16 years old, and Qian'er is almost 16."
After a moment of silence, Tang Ze sighed: "Well, it's my fault that I didn't make it clear."
In fact, although he always asked Wu Jianming to help him with errands, he didn't seem to pay special attention to him, so some of his instructions seemed to be careless.
Maybe he has a mentality of not expecting or being demanding about Lao Wu. This is not good. He will have to change it in the future. He can't be sloppy at work.
However, although Lao Wu seemed not very bright, he was not a fool, so Tang Ze did not hide it and asked straight to the point: "Wu Qian's mother asked you to ask her, right?"
Wu Jianming lowered his head and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, Master, I...I have selfish motives, I..."
This big man's eyes suddenly turned red at this moment, and he burst into tears. For a while, he burst into tears.
Tang Ze patted his shoulder: "I'm listening."
One sentence was enough for Wu Jianming to calm down as soon as possible. Now, all he has left is loyalty to Tang Ze:
"Actually, there is something I haven't told you all this time. This should be my responsibility."
He said sadly: "I have a wife and a daughter. I love them very much, but they died in an accident more than ten years ago. At that time, I never came out."
"If it hadn't been for my sister's care, I might have been decadent for the rest of my life until I could no longer take care of your body. Both of them are very important to me, so when my sister asked me to help Qian'er, it was hard for me to refuse."
"It is difficult for ordinary people like us to enter the entertainment industry. Fortunately, I have you. But I promise, master, Qian'er can do her best!" Old Wu's face covered with stubble looked extremely tough.
Tangze was silent for a long time.
Wife and daughter... It seems that he has been taking care of Lao Wu since he woke up, but he has never cared about where his wife and daughter have gone?
It seems that he was unknowingly affected by the will of the original owner and became so hard-hearted? Or is he just a selfish person?
Forget it, I don’t care about my deeds, I’ll just make up for it later.
Looking at Old Wu who was getting anxious, Tang Ze said: "We are also considered family, aren't we? Also, I have told you many times to call me Mr. Tang!"
He agreed to let Wu Qian play the role of a female student.
Looking back carefully at the original film, in fact, the role of the female students is not very big. They only symbolically raise a few questions to the protagonist, which leads to the story behind the protagonist.
The existence of this character is more like enriching the character of archaeologist Liu Jin, enriching the atmosphere of life, and making the fake more like the real.
If we really want to compare it with the original film, his 20-year-old appearance as the 35-year-old Tang De cannot be completely restored no matter how much makeup he puts on, so we simply abandoned the original character image and changed the setting.
The focus of this movie is on the ups and downs of dialogue. Perhaps because there are more contrasts between younger people, old people and young people, it may be more convincing.
I remember when I watched "My Love from the Star", because the setting stipulated that the male protagonist should be a person with a long life, he didn't think that young face was unreasonable.
"You can play the role of Mo Lin, but everyone else will do it for free, and you are no exception. Can you agree?"
Karasawa speaks this kind of capitalist quotation without any burden.
It’s still unclear who will join the team later, but Han Sanping can definitely achieve the zero pay promised by Han Sanping, and he can’t let Wu Qian do something special by herself.
Unless he has the absolute right to speak, no one will dare to contradict him, but there is still a long way to go.
"No problem! Mom gave me public funds, so I'm not short of money!" Xiao Wu Qian said generously.
Tang Ze immediately took out the signing contract from his briefcase and handed it over: "Fax it to your mother and see if you want to sign it, or ask Lao Wu to sign it with you."
Naturally, he will not cheat Wu Qian, but he will make the other party develop the habit of paying attention to the contract.
Xiao Wu Qian obviously didn't care at all. She wanted to sign her name, but was stopped by Tang Ze's palm:
"A contract may even be related to a person's life. Signing the wrong contract is equivalent to going to jail, so it must be taken seriously. Even if you can't understand it yourself, you must have someone who understands endorse it for you."
Seeing that Tang Ze was so strict, little Wu Qian no longer dared to neglect, communicated with her mother and uncle, and signed the contract.
Tang Ze took the initiative to extend his hand: "Congratulations, you are now a member of the project "This Man Comes from Earth"."
Knowing that she really got this role, Xiao Wu Qian jumped up happily: "That's great!"
She really wanted to act for too long, and then kissed Tang Ze on the cheek forgetfully, and ran away while he was stunned.
Tang Ze's outstretched hand froze in mid-air and turned to Lao Wu, with a dangerous look in his eyes:
"It seems that your education of your niece is somewhat lacking, Lao Wu. How can strangers have sex? Immediately, don't let her relax. It's still early for the first year of high school anyway. Before the actors are ready, go to the actor training class for surprise training. !"
No matter what, because of Lao Wu, he also regarded Wu Qian as one of his relatives.
The next week, because he had 100% trust in Tang Ze, Lao Wu quit his job as a university teacher and started working as an agent wholeheartedly.
He and Tang Ze successfully attracted sponsorship from many advertisers through their sharp tongue.
These include original paintings provided by the museum, house decorations, specially added watches and cars, which are the main sponsors.
However, what is more realistic is that most manufacturers are willing to interview him only after hearing about his background in Southern California and Han Sanping's respect.
Of course, it is impossible for a new director to have sponsorships worth hundreds or tens of millions, which are exclusive to films with clear commercial prospects or famous directors.
They signed a sponsorship contract based on the ladder share of advertising effects, and agreed on a 90-minute movie as the standard——
For every effective download of the corresponding website that exceeds 10 million, he can get a sponsorship of 100,000 yuan from a single manufacturer, up to a maximum of 300,000 yuan. If the download volume exceeds 30 million, he can finally get a sponsorship fee of 1.2 million yuan from all advertisements.
On the other hand, if no one watches his movie, he won't get a penny.
Also, if other websites pirate his movies and the price exceeds 10 million, it has nothing to do with him.
But this is already much better than expected at the beginning.
……
In a blink of an eye, the day came when the actors began to meet.
Tangze finally saw the cast that Han Sanping had hired, and realized that his judgment had underestimated the importance Han Sanping attached to him.
This cast is not small at all, it’s too big, right?
Tang Ze did not lose his composure and hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands with the actors.
"Teacher Li Jiejian, teacher Feng Yuanzheng, and teacher Xu Qing, hello, it's an honor to work with you!"
"Hello!" All three of them smiled, and Li Jianjian said more: "You are young and promising!"
The three of them play the roles of psychologist Charles, anthropologist Wang Dan and protagonist Tang De's lover Mo Sang respectively.
Yaoshou, that is to say, Xu Qing will play his lover, and Li Jiejian will play his "son".
If you are not careful, you will be severely suppressed.
After all, not to mention the first two, their status as national first-class actors speaks volumes.
As for Xu Qing, her past partners were also actors from the acting school like Jiang Wen and Chen Geshuan.
However, this also gave Karasawa greater confidence. The father-son relationship between the original male protagonist and the psychologist was not shown at all, and the male protagonist was even like a bystander and narrator from beginning to end.
With veteran actors joining the cast, this version at least stabilizes the emotional conflicts and achieves drama, making it more watchable than the original version.
So, stay calm and have the mentality of an old monster, he is not weaker than anyone else.
Seeing that Tang Ze was unfamiliar with other people, Han Sanping took the initiative to introduce him. Although he couldn't recognize them even if he combined his past life memories, these people did have a certain influence in the circle.
Obviously, it is impossible for Han Sanping to really send a large number of high-status actors to help out. Things like favors have to be repaid afterwards.
But this lineup has already surprised Tang Ze. He still can't believe that this ratio is really just for participating in an Internet drama, or is it zero pay?
Aren’t these big guys afraid of lowering their worth?
It wasn't until an unexpected person appeared as Liu Jin that Tang Ze was able to solve his confusion.
