Chapter six hundred and forty eight: do not want money to act
"Oh, it's good to be rich!" Behind him, Chen Daoming came up and said slowly: "When I was your age, I only had dozens of yuan a month, so I wouldn't even dare to think about buying a house in Yanjing. Then I would
My biggest dream is to get a salary of two thousand."
Hearing this, Yang Lixin turned around and said with a smile: "I'm not as good as you. When I was young, my dream was to make a thousand dollars a month."
In the past, people in the art industry were paid dead wages, and actors at that time did not have any agencies. They were all dependent on studios or art troupes, and they had to wait for the above quotas when filming.
"Fang Jing, what about you? I heard that you set a small goal when you debuted, to make him 100 million, right?"
Fang Jing was embarrassed, "Teacher Chen, please don't laugh at me. I'm just a common person with no ambitions. I only entered the industry just to make a living."
Glancing at it, Chen Daoming raised his eyes and said, "In this world, who is not a common person? People of our generation entered the industry just to eat. There is nothing shameful about it."
"Don't think too much about it, I just felt a little emotional when I heard you said you wanted to buy a courtyard house."
Touching his nose, Fang Jing said: "With your current status, Teacher Chen, you can buy several courtyard houses a year."
"It's not even enough for me to buy a toilet." Chen Daoming suddenly laughed, "My salary is not as high as you think, it's very low."
"Just brag." Yang Lixin said to Fang Jing, "His salary is not low, but he doesn't usually film. If he does, he only does dramas that he likes. The price is still very low." Computer terminal::/
In the past two years, Chen Daoming has been involved in the arts and entertainment industry. He performs in several plays a year and costs RMB 3,000 per performance. The rest of the time he spends his time at home with his family, making packages for his wife, and doing handicrafts.
"Alas! You are right. As long as it is a script that impresses me, I will act in it no matter how low the salary is, or even for free."
Fang Jing didn't believe it. Actors also had to eat. If Chen Daoming did what he did, he would starve to death. "Then have you acted in a drama for free in the past few years?"
"I have acted in it!" Chen Daoming smiled proudly, "I won't tell you the title of the play."
Holy shit! Do you really want to act for free?
Fang Jing was shocked. The salary for Chen Daoming, a celebrity, was not low. It was no less than that of a popular celebrity. Even if the salary limit order comes now, the price of one episode of his TV series is less than 500,000 yuan.
A TV series costs tens of millions, and buying a few houses in first-tier cities is not a problem.
"Teacher Chen, let me ask you to act in a TV series. Can you act in it?"
"Okay, it depends on the script and my time, but most people can't stand my bad temper."
Yang Lixin agreed and nodded repeatedly, "I testify to this. Lao Chen is famous for being very strict on the set. He takes care of lighting, camera, props and lines. He will take care of everything when he sees it."
"If nothing happens, he will still hold on to his opponent's actor. He doesn't care about his identity and status, and wants to teach him how to act."
I have the same feeling when working with director Chen Daoming. I love and hate it. What I love is dedication. There is no need for the director to shout. Everything is done properly. He does whatever he is asked to do. He has no airs and is very cooperative.
.
What I hate is that Chen Dao has a lot of famous things and has to take care of everything. After filming a scene, he wants to watch the playback. The director doesn't say anything, so he says no, it needs to be retaken. If someone didn't do it well, he points it out on the spot, without giving any face.
Chen Daoming smiled bitterly, "Yes, people still say that I am a good person, but now they don't ask me to act in dramas. In the past two years, I have been asked to act in quite a few variety shows."
"It's good to be good at work!" What Fang Jing wants is to be good at work. "Any actor who is picky about things is a good actor. I don't dare to ask for one who is perfunctory."
"Hahaha, Lao Chen, let me just say, this young man is very interesting."
"It's interesting!"
The two of them left without waiting for Fang Jing.
On the way to the airport, Wu Jiajia gave Fang Jing a document. After reading it, Fang Jing held his chin in thought, then called Yang Lixin and invited him to act in a TV series. Without a second thought, Yang Lixin agreed without reading the script or negotiating the salary.
Just give us a notification before shooting starts.
Wu Jiajia was puzzled, "Boss, is this person so powerful? You called him right after the script came out."
This drama was decided upon by Nan Jing in a meeting and it will start filming next year. After Wu Jiajia received the news from Yang Ning, she gave Fang Jing the information because he is the protagonist.
Glancing at Wu Jiajia, Fang Jing shook his head, "If you are not an insider, you don't know that Mr. Yang is very powerful. In addition to being a leader in the arts, he also has rich acting experience."
One thing Fang Jing didn't say is that Yang Lixin has been focusing on drama for decades. In addition to his good acting skills, he also has a good character.
When Chen Kai was filming Farewell My Concubine, there was a scene where he needed to dub Zhang Guorong. After many choices, he finally hired Yang Lixin.
What I didn't expect was that the drama became a big hit after it aired, and it might be nominated for an international award later. However, there was a condition for the foreign award nomination at the time. The film could not have dubbing, and the actors had to perform the original voices.
In order to let Chinese movies go global, Yang Lixin at that time took the initiative to give up his name at the end of the movie, pretending that he was not there.
Later, Farewell My Concubine won awards, not just one or two, but also the Golden Globe Award, Golden Globe Award, Best Foreign Language Film Award and other awards, making a total of 24 international awards in the world.
In which year, Chinese films went abroad and became the brightest star.
Because of this, Brother Chen Kai has always been grateful to Yang Lixin.

After returning to the Magic City for a few days, Fang Jing cooked for Fang Hui, a senior in high school. In a blink of an eye, Fang Hui was already a senior in high school. He had little time to play and went to bed after twelve o'clock every day, which made him feel distressed.
After spending a few days with him at home, Fang Jing then embarked on a trip to Vienna.
Of course, I didn’t go to Vienna to sing and watch a musical, but to attend Tang Yan’s wedding. Tang Yan’s wedding was originally scheduled for last month, but it was postponed for some unknown reason.
"Sister Tang, you chose this location so far away that I almost broke my legs. I don't know the road, and it took me a long time to find it. If you ask me, it's better in China, it's also lively..."
The first time he saw Tang Yan, Fang Jing turned on the complaining mode and kept talking non-stop. He was able to find it thanks to his mobile phone translator, otherwise he would not have been able to get there in the dark. Mobile version::
Tang Yan rolled his eyes, "Okay, I haven't noticed that you are so talkative. Yes, yes, it's good in China. It's really lively. If you were in China, there would be more media paparazzi than relatives and friends."
"When I get married, I also have to entertain them. After the reception, I wait for them to ask questions and interview me. I can't scold or beat them. I have to serve the big guys well. I'm afraid they will write some bad words."
Everything is fine in China, but ordinary fans are too interested in artists' private lives and want to turn everything upside down and dig out all people's privacy.
Everywhere I went there were crowds of people watching me, and there was no personal space at all.
Tang Yan continued: "You have been here for so long, have you ever seen people watching you to take photos and sign autographs? How relaxing."
"It's really easy!" As he said this, Fang Jing took out a big red envelope and glanced around, "I didn't even see where your gift stall is."
He remembered that when he attended Huang Xiaoming's wedding, he first saw several large safes, all containing money.
Tang Yan smiled and grabbed the red envelope from Fang Jing's hand, "Haha, I forgot to tell you, I didn't plan to accept the gift, but you brought it, so I won't be polite, just give it to me."
"Come in quickly, there are not many people inside, they are all relatives and friends."
