"Both Yiyang and I hope that the money spent on this drama can be spent wisely, first of all to ensure the production quality."
Ji Yiyang’s agent, Sister Chen, said this.
This is actually the result of what she and Ji Yiyang discussed yesterday.
Especially when they learned that the production cost of the entire drama was only fifteen million, both of them became entangled.
In the end, compared to the attractiveness of the script and Ji Yiyang's future development, Sister Chen gritted her teeth and decided to take the initiative to reduce the salary to ensure that the production quality of the drama would not go wrong.
Now that I’m planning to take on this drama without any photo remuneration.
She simply gave her a more thorough favor and directly reduced Xu Ji's salary by another one million yuan on top of the three million salary offered.
Xu Ji himself did not expect that all these negotiations would go so smoothly.
The remuneration, which I thought was the most difficult thing to negotiate, turned out to be the quickest to reach an agreement.
"Director Xu, I would like to ask about the specific time when we will join the group?"
Ji Yiyang said.
Xu Ji replied: "We should be able to officially start filming next month."
"In the remaining ten days, you can read more scripts and figure out the characters."
After Ji Yiyang heard Xu Ji's words, he became a little embarrassed.
Because if this is the case, it will definitely conflict with the time of the big-investment drama they are here to audition for.
Xu Ji saw Ji Yiyang in trouble, but he didn't particularly urge him to sign the contract.
"You can think about it for a few days."
"You can sign the contract within this week."
......
After Xu Ji and Youman left, Ji Tingqun quickly asked the agent, Sister Chen:
"Sister Chen, what if I pass the audition?"
Sister Chen probably didn’t think so much before, but now she also hesitated.
What Ji Yiyang faces now are two choices.
One is a big-investment drama directed by a well-known director, but neither Ji Yiyang nor she is very optimistic about the script.
The other one is a small-production online drama directed by a new director at Station G. He even had to reduce his salary to star in it, but the script was solid and both of them liked it very much.
And I think this drama has the potential to become a hit.
At the very least, it will definitely help his future development.
If I were to change managers or artists, I wouldn't be so hesitant and would choose the safer first one.
But Ji Yiyang and his agent are both relatively emotional people.
Even many times when I encounter a good script and a good role, I don't care about the star position to play some supporting roles with few roles.
After struggling all afternoon, Ji Yiyang finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.
"Sister Chen, I still think the role in this drama at Station G is more suitable for me."
In fact, as an agent, Chen Meihua is often not qualified.
Because she is too impulsive and does not have the dignity that a manager should have in front of artists.
She sighed helplessly in her heart, but still smiled and said to Ji Yiyang:
"Heroes think alike."
"I'll call Director Wang and talk about it right now."
......
"They gave up?"
Ji Zhou was very surprised when he heard what his agent said to him.
"Why?"
Even though Ji Zhou felt that he performed well in the audition, he was not entirely sure that the director would choose him this time.
Because the image and temperament of him and Ji Yiyang are so similar, even their audition performances in many previous dramas were comparable.
"I heard that it was a small-budget online drama from Station G."
"Haha."
"Ji Yiyang's agent doesn't know what he thinks."
"Just do something like throwing away the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds."
Ji Zhou's manager smiled disdainfully.
But it's a relief, now it seems that this role should belong to Ji Zhou.
......
After Xu Ji and Youman finished signing the contract with Ji Yiyang in the capital, they returned to Chengdu.
While Xu Ji was waiting at the airport, he remembered that today seemed to be the time when the program "Girls of the Creation Camp" was broadcast.
Although we already know the result of Sha Yetong’s team being eliminated.
But Xu Ji is still a little curious. Logically speaking, with the quality of "Light Chaser", it shouldn't lose.
After getting on the plane, Youman fell asleep directly, while Xu Ji opened the latest episode of the program that he had already downloaded.
As soon as he opened it, Xu Ji saw the barrage cached from the first issue of the video.
"I'm so angry, so angry!"
"The program team really has no shame."
"Front row reminder, this issue can cure your hypotension."
......
Xu Ji was too lazy to look at the previous content. There were no shots of Sha Yetong anyway, so he moved directly to the stage performance.
After listening to the songs of the two teams in front, Xu Ji frowned.
Simply speaking from these two songs, Xu Ji doesn’t think they can get more votes than “Light Chaser”.
He is now curious about why Sha Yetong's team was eliminated.
"The famous scene of high blood pressure ahead."
"Turn off the video, turn off the video!"
"Run!"
......
Sha Yetong finally appears.
And Xu Ji feels that everyone in Sha Yetong’s team performed even better this time than in the previous performance.
Both the song itself and the emotion of the singing are on point.
"29 points."
When the final score came out, netizens in the entire barrage had completely exploded.
"Are these three instructors deaf?"
"I don't understand but I'm shocked."
"This tutor is really good at replacing me."
"I almost cried when I heard the score, but when the scores came out it made me laugh again. (Really. I couldn't laugh or cry)"
""Not a good song""
......
Although the hesitant and embarrassed expressions of the instructors before grading were not edited.
But Xu Ji still knew that this was probably related to Phoenix Entertainment.
Even Penguin Video and some other capitals also participated.
Otherwise, how could the three instructors give such uniformly low scores?
At this time, most of the people in the barrage were scolding the instructor.
But on the other hand, some netizens are also doing this:
"I think the instructors' grading is fine."
"This song doesn't sound good to begin with, so 29 points is fine."
"Everyone in the barrage is knowledgeable. They are more professional than other tutors, right?"
......
Seeing this, Xu Ji no longer had the desire to continue reading.
In the past, although she kept making small moves, Sha Yetong could still participate in the competition fairly.
But as things have developed now, perhaps Sha Yetong's threat was too great, and the other party simply did this table-turning thing.
Then the final result of the game will be meaningless.
Sure enough, after the show was broadcast, the popularity exploded.
Even more than the previous two issues.
This time I couldn’t suppress it even if I wanted to. The last time I saw it on Weibo, I saw only irritable netizens questioning the show’s crew and scolding Li Fenghua’s three mentors.
However, mobile phones were not allowed to be brought into the recording site.
I don’t know which audience played a spy game and actually recorded the video of the scene and uploaded it.
In the video, the audience under the stage were shouting the word "shady" in unison.
Let the already explosive heat reach a higher level.
For a time, although Sha Yetong's team lost the game, the program team and the three instructors who scored low became the target of public criticism.
Of course, this was also expected by companies such as Penguin Video and Phoenix Entertainment.
Since they have chosen such a plan, of course they will not be without any preparation.
