"Hahaha, Chen Cheng, come here and see, people on the Internet are calling you a monkey!"
Lin Mengchu took off his complicated and gorgeous Hanfu and rolled around on the bed in his pajamas. His stomach hurt from laughing, "Some people say you are hyping up your debut. Remember to let me know when you are going to debut. I will
I’m going to give you two flower baskets.”
Chen Cheng put down the book, glanced at the girl rolling back and forth on the bed, and then continued to pick up the book.
Hot spots on the Internet come and go quickly. Countless new things appear every day, and new hot spots are hyped every day. Soon, things turned upside down for Chen Cheng and Lin Mengchu. By the third
When it was dark, Lao Zhang, one of Ye Daoxiong's subordinates, rushed over. He was a middle-aged man in his forties, dressed in a smart and capable manner.
"Ms. Lin, this is the actor information prepared based on the script. Please take a look at it first."
Lao Zhang knew Lin Mengchu's identity. In fact, he also knew many people from the Lin family and the Ye family, so he kept a low profile and did not try to fool the sponsor. In fact, he did not need to fool him. As an old employee of the Lin family,
, he has many ways to make money without risking his own future.
"Because the scene is very simple, the budget is between one million and four million. The main expenditure is the actor's salary. Because you are going to use a star as the leading actor, the price fluctuates greatly. The actual investment may reach four million
.”
Lin Mengchu looked at the information that Lao Zhang brought, and then said to Chen Cheng who was reading a book by the window: "Come and take a look too!"
"kindness."
Chen Cheng came over, sat next to her, picked up another actor's information and started reading it. While drinking water, Lao Zhang looked at Chen Cheng and saw that this legendary uncle of the Lin family looked talented and majestic.
There is an aura that makes people feel sincere and sincere, and it seems that it is not inferior to the big guys he knows.
He sighed secretly in his heart: The younger generation is to be feared, the younger generation is to be feared!
The investment in this drama was very small, but Lao Zhang did not show any signs of neglect. Instead, he gave his 120% attitude to help make this drama a success. If he could be chosen by Miss Lin,
, he can take a big step forward in his career. The opportunity has now fallen into his hands, and he must seize it well!
Lao Zhang put down the water glass and introduced: "I recommend Xu Zheng and Huang Hai for the male protagonists. One of them is from a major and has rehearsed many plays. The other is a representative of the acting school and can handle dramas and comedies. Although Huang Hai is not famous now,
He has acted in TV series and movies before, and his acting skills are very good. I have brought their previous films here, Miss Lin, you can take a look."
Lin Mengchu read the information in his hand and then asked: "Which one do you think is better?"
Lao Zhang hesitated and said, "From a box office perspective, I think Xu Zheng is better."
"What about not looking at it from a box office perspective?"
"If we don't pursue box office, I think Huang Hai would be better." Lao Zhang considered it and said: "Huang Hai has just made his debut in the entertainment industry, and his acting will be more dedicated. The key is that it is still very cheap. Because of his appearance, he is generally very good now.
It’s hard to get the leading male role, so..."
Lin Mengchu understood and said, "Both of them are very good, so let's contact them to see if they have any dates. The male lead has been decided, do you have any recommendations for the female lead?"
Lao Zhang said: "I have listed some more suitable ones separately. Miss Lin, if you think they are suitable, you can arrange for someone to come over for an interview."
"Well, I want to look at the information again. You go to rest first and I will discuss it with you in the afternoon."
"Okay, take your time and watch, I'm going out first."
After Lao Zhang closed the door and exited, Lin Mengchu immediately threw the folder aside and asked, "How was it? Did I look like an elite white-collar worker just now?"
"Like, if you could change into OL outfit, it would be more like it?"
Lin Mengchu's eyes widened, "You don't want to role-play, do you? That will have to wait until we have our own office!"
"...Let's discuss the selection of the heroine," Chen Cheng said: "Which one do you think is suitable?"
"Well, how about this? She's petite and looks innocent, like a college student."
The heroine is a college student who works part-time and works night shifts three times a week. The actress selected by Lin Mengchu is very famous among the new generation. Whether it is appearance, acting skills, or line skills, they are all top-notch.
"Li Xiaolu? It looks good, so that's her. Where is the backup candidate?"
"Backup candidate?"
"Yes, if Li Xiaolu's schedule cannot be adjusted, shouldn't there be a backup candidate?"
"Li Qian and Deng Jia also have matching looks and can be used as backup candidates."
"It's pretty good, but the mole on Li Qian's lip... isn't it a bit inconsistent?"
Lin Mengchu said "Huh" and said: "What you said is really a bit weird. Why didn't she remove the mole?"
"How do I know this? How about you ask her?"
Lin Mengchu curled his lips and said, "I won't ask. If you want to ask, it's up to you to ask."
Chen Cheng wisely avoided the topic and asked: "Do you plan to be the director of this movie yourself, or do you plan to be the assistant director first?"
"Of course I need to gain some experience as an assistant director first!" Lin Mengchu said: "I'm not stupid!"
In the afternoon, Lin Mengchu gave Lao Zhang the choice of male and female protagonists and asked him to help contact the actors. As for directors and photographers, they are already in Ye Daoxiong's company. They can be used directly after being transferred, and there is no need to adjust them.
.
Lao Zhang said: "Miss Lin, please don't worry, we will have news within two days at most."
"Two more days? I thought we were in the information age and the results would be available in a few hours."
"This..." Lao Zhang had a headache. The eldest lady of the Lin family didn't seem to be very talkative. He smiled bitterly and said: "People also have to read the script and then evaluate it. It will take two or three days.
It’s already fast, usually it takes a week.”
"Oh, then go ahead and do your work. If you have any results, send me an email. This is my email address. Make a note of it."
"OK."
The second son of the Ye family is somewhat famous in the entertainment industry, but he is only famous in the south. Across the country, there are many people who don't like him. I heard that it is a low-budget comedy movie with a budget of only one million.
Around that time, many brokerage companies rejected me first.
Fortunately, those are just supporting roles. Xu Zheng, the first choice for the male lead, is very interested in the script. He comes from a drama background and has no acting skills to speak of, but these days, having money is the last word. Acting in dramas is very popular in small circles.
He is very famous, but he can't make much money. Now his acting skills have been recognized by people in the industry, but he is struggling to find opportunities to cash in.
After receiving the script from Shencheng Music Production Co., Ltd. (the company owned by Mr. Ye Er), Xu Zheng felt that this was an opportunity to try the waters in the entertainment industry. Anyway, the script was very simple and the scene was
There is no need for any changes. If the shooting is good, it can be completed in three or four days.
So he readily agreed, and the asking price was very low, only 100,000 yuan, which was much lower than the current fees for celebrities. What Xu Zheng valued was not the money, but the resources of the Ye family. In addition to the male protagonist,
The heroine also responded quickly and said that she could arrange a schedule.
Shencheng is one of the four largest cities in the country. Although Shencheng Music Production Co., Ltd. is not very famous and does not have many good works, it is still somewhat famous in the circle, at least it is not the kind of pheasant company. Mr. Ye is a big spender and good at dancing.
, the people in the capital also know it. Even if the movie is a mess, if you can use it to establish a relationship with the second young master, you can still make money from other places.
Besides, if a small-budget movie with an investment of just over one million yuan is a success, how can it be so successful? Add in the cost of publicity and distribution, and at most it will cost two to three million yuan? Two to three million yuan will still be enough.
What’s causing trouble? Therefore, Li Xiaolu’s agency also promised to come to Yangzhou Film and Television City at the end of the month.
Once the male and female protagonists have been decided, the rest will be easy to handle. The entertainment industry is a small place, and if there is any trouble, everyone will know about it soon. I heard that Xu Zheng and Li Xiaolu are both going to participate, and the companies that originally refused
I immediately called again and said I was sorry, but I had made a mistake before. In fact, so and so of their family had a schedule.
"These guys really don't have any shame!" Lin Mengchu said: "At least don't be so fast. You rejected us just yesterday and called us today. Can't we wait a few more days?"
"This..." Lao Zhang, who did not have a name, said with a wry smile: "The entertainment industry is a vanity fair. Everyone is here to make money. Why do you want to save face? If you want to make money, you have to kneel down!"
After listening to the conversation between the two, Chen Cheng thought of a movie. "Let the Bullets Fly" is really a masterpiece. Even if it is placed in this world, it can still become a masterpiece. He smiled and said: "We
Jia Chuchu just wants to make money standing up!"
Lin Mengchu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Classmate Chen is so right, I just want to stand and make money."
Lao Zhang thought for a while and felt that with Miss Lin's family background, let alone making money standing up, even if she did nothing, there would still be a lot of people coming to give money. So he couldn't help but sigh, people and people
There is a difference. Some people are born with a golden key and can gain both fame and fortune casually. An honest person like him has worked hard for more than ten years before finally getting an opportunity.
Alas, why are the gaps between people so big?
He sighed with emotion and asked: "How about rejecting them outright? Anyway, there are only a few supporting roles left, and you can find many in the guilds here in the film and television city."
Lin Mengchu was a little undecided, turned around and asked Chen Cheng, "What do you say, classmate Chen?"
Chen Cheng smiled and said, "That's just the way this world is, so don't worry about it. As long as the role is suitable, just call me over for an audition."
