Chapter One Hundred and Ninety Nine: Male Protagonist
"By the way, am I playing the supporting actress or the heroine?" Zhao Liying asked a key question.
There is a big difference between the heroine and the heroine. The audience is all visual animals, and their eyes will naturally be on the heroine. The highest peak in the world is Everest, and the second peak is unknown.
If you can play the female lead, you can get a lower salary.
"Of course it's the heroine! Sister Liying is such a big shot, how could I let you play the supporting role?" Fang Jing said bewilderedly: "This is a drama of the Republic of China, and it's different from the costumes you played before. It's just the right time for a transformation, isn't it?
"
"Come on, the transformation is so good. I won't talk about it anymore. Let's go. Remember to send me the script later."
Zhao Liying put her hands in her pockets and turned to leave. It must be said that Fang Jing's words moved him. The actor has reached a point where he must face transformation.
Since her debut, she has relied on ancient costumes to become famous, but she has succeeded Xiao He and lost Xiao He. Now she is labeled as an ancient costume and can no longer take it off. In the past few years, the dramas that have cast her are all in ancient costumes, which makes her almost sick.
It's not that she never thought about acting in other genres. She even wanted to try a clown role, but she couldn't find a good script, and even if she found a good script, people couldn't afford it.
"Hey, Lao Xu, send me the script of Lao Jiumen Yin Xinyue."
"Have you found the actor? Who is it?"
"Zhao Liying!"
"Excellent! This is fine. I'll give you the script right away. You know the base price. If it's really not worth it, it can be higher. We've won half the battle to win the heroine."
In Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Xu Shi was still working overtime. He was very excited after receiving a call from Fang Jing. Without saying a word, he turned on the computer and sent the script to him. "You should also implement the matter that the man suggested to Qishan. I can't help it. I found a few and opened my mouth."
It starts from 50 million."
"Who offered 50 million? Write your name down and don't ask for it again in the future."
"Yeah! I remember."
Fang Jing was also speechless. Today's traffic is all about money and doesn't care whether the script is good or not.
The good thing about having a studio like Zhao Liying is that she can make her own decisions when she encounters a good script. Those who signed contracts with the company have turned into money-sucking maniacs. They only think about transforming themselves into actors when they have finished making money and the traffic is no longer popular.
But if you don’t lay a good foundation in the early stage, who will care about you if you make a last-minute transition? Don’t talk about lowering the salary, because no director will take the money if you don’t want it.
"What about the advertisers you're responsible for?"
"It's not bad. We talked about the next two and raised seven to eight million."
"That's about right. Don't want too much. If we're short of money, we'll find a way."
It's not that Fang Jing doesn't want to make more money, but in the main drama, the actors are always holding a bottle of old wine and milk and reading advertising slogans, which is really a show.
Last year's Gu Jian Qi Tan was originally of good quality, but the advertising placement in Wuba City was so ubiquitous that it made people want to smash it, and the same goes for certain Langen.
"I know, don't worry, I know."
"Well! Thank you for your hard work."
"You too! Don't put too much pressure on me."
…
"This guy is pretty fast!"
Zhao Liying returned to her residence, turned on her computer and looked at the script that had arrived three minutes ago.
In order to prevent the plot from being leaked, Fang Jing gave only part of the script, which was more than 20 pages, and she read it quickly.
There are only two words to describe it, above average! It’s not outstanding. This is a drama that mainly focuses on men. The presence of the female protagonist is not very influential, and she doesn’t even have as many roles as the two male protagonists.
Then I searched for Xu Shi's personal information on the Internet. I didn't know that Zhao Liying had no idea that Xu Shi had such great influence, especially since there were so many book fans discussing Tomb Raider Notes and he had a huge fan base.
Opening the schedule and looking at the activities for next spring, Zhao Liying crossed out some unimportant ones. Time is like water in a sponge, and there is still room for squeeze.
If nothing else goes wrong, Zhu Xian will be aired during the winter vacation and will end before the students start school. Laojiumen will start filming in the spring and air during the summer vacation. In this way, she will be active in front of the audience for at least half a year. She is the female lead in both films, which is not a loss!
…
"Apple watermelon mineral water, give way!"
"Everyone has a share. Don't throw it away after drinking. The trash can is right next to it."
The daily routine of the actor is to stand in the open air in severe cold and scorching heat and enjoy God's blessings. At noon, Fang Jing pushes a cart to bring drinks and fruits to everyone to quench their thirst. An elder Qingyun is still refurbishing shoes in the shoe pile.
He smelled each pair he picked up, then frowned and quickly threw them away.
The props, shoes and clothes are all rented and never washed. I don’t know how many owners I have experienced in a year. It’s so refreshing! There are many people who get athlete’s foot after returning from filming. Fang Jing is very glad that he is not one of them, because there are coffee
All the actors' costumes are new.
"Xiao Fangzi! Sister wants watermelon too!" Zhao Liying shouted in the distance while holding a bowl in an RV.
"Hello!"
"Xiaodong, give the things to everyone, I'll go over there."
Wiping the sweat off his head, Fang Jing took two portions of watermelon and walked towards Zhao Liying's RV.
"Oh, it's cooler here!"
The RV is air-conditioned, and Fang Jing stopped sweating as soon as he got in. It was so comfortable that he almost hummed. Compared with the scorching heat outside, this place is simply heaven.
"Have you eaten yet? Get your own bowls and chopsticks!"
There were four dishes and one soup on the small dining table, not the crew's dining table. Stars don't eat box lunches. Li Yifeng even hired a chef to cook them freshly in his car.
"I've been waiting for these words from you for a long time!"
After washing his hands, Fang Jing added a full bowl of rice, facing the dish was a windy and lingering cloud.
Zhao Liying didn't care at all. She had a small appetite and didn't eat much. "I've read the script. It's good. The schedule is also available. I can give you a concession on the price. Fifteen million, no more."
"Thank you Sister Liying, I will ask the crew to add chicken drumsticks for you when the time comes."
"That's it? Can you make the decision?" Zhao Liying was surprised, this is not 1,500 yuan, but 1,5 million yuan!
"Yes! If I didn't have this right, I wouldn't talk to you."
Originally, he and Xu Shi discussed the price of the female lead at about 18 million, because the role didn't have that many roles, and they were willing to pay a few million more if it was a bigger name.
"Who did you choose to play the male lead? Or did you play it yourself?"
"I don't play the first male lead, I play the second male lead." Fang Jing ate quickly without raising his head. He only had his second bowl in the past few minutes.
The male lead, Zhang Qishan, needs to be at least thirty years old to handle the role. He looks too young and inappropriate, but the opera singer Yue Erhong can play the role.
"So you haven't found the first male lead yet?"
"Well! We are looking for him. By the way, Sister Liying, you should know Cheng Weiting. What do you think of that person?"
"It's okay. He's an actor from Xiangjiang and his acting skills are fine." She worked with Cheng Weiting in a movie last year and they are familiar with each other.
"Can you introduce it to me?"
"What, you want him to play the leading role?"
"I have this idea, but the details will depend on the results of the trial and the salary schedule."
I have seen the old Jiumen Fang Jing in his previous life, and I still approve of Cheng Weiting's Zhang Qishan. He has acted in many movies before, and his acting skills are no problem. He is at least 90% popular in the industry.
The audition was fake, the main reason was to negotiate the remuneration. If the price couldn't be agreed upon, should someone be replaced? We couldn't let him sell his kidney to get a loan, right?
