"Brother Tai, you said on QQ that this Lei Jiayin is only 24 years old, just graduated for a year. ”

The actor introduced by Lu Entai is called Lei Jiayin, like him, he graduated from the Modu Drama Academy last year, and after graduation, he entered the Modu Drama Art Center, and he was admitted with the first place, which is considered a genius.

The actor in "Sniper Phone Booth" is a career success in the workplace, Lei Jiayin's age difference is a bit much, since Lu Entai still introduced Lei Jiayin after reading the script, there must be a certain amount of truth.

Lu Entai nodded, and said as he walked, "Don't look at him, he is a year older than you, his face is much older, no one will doubt him when he is thirty years old, and his appearance should be fine." ”

Li Qian smiled, "Brother Tai, you don't think it's much of a problem." ”

"In fact, the troupe is not without suitable actors, but after thinking about it for a while, Lei Jiayin is still the most suitable. ”

Although Li Qian has no objection to Lei Jiayin's age, Lu Entai still explained, "You open a studio around Hengdian and have also been in contact with some crews, so you should understand what the consequences will be if the director can't suppress the actors." ”

"There are indeed a lot of such things, and Brother Tai is thoughtful. Li Qian nodded.

Directors, especially film directors, who lack control over the crew are an absolute disaster.

"Sniper Phone Booth" is only a network university, and Li Qian is only 23 years old, and he is not from the three major colleges, which will inevitably be despised.

It's not that if you find an actor in his thirties at the Modu Drama Center, the other party will look down on Li Qian, but it's not that the vast majority of people have basic professionalism.

However, everyone has ideas, and it is difficult to ensure that the other party will point fingers at the script during filming, and there are opinions here, and ideas there, after all, the Modu Drama Center is not a local theater, and it is inevitable to have a sense of superiority.

No one will have objections to the drama of a big director, but like Li Qian, it is inevitable that he is still a big network.

Directing is an extremely ego profession, and the rest of the crew can have suggestions, but a crew can only have one voice.

There is only one person in a company who makes decisions, and only one person in an army can call the shots, and once there is a second voice, even if it is well-intentioned, it will be over sooner or later.

"However, Brother Tai, young people are all high-spirited, can he look down on me. ”

Li Qian raised another question, the more young people who have not experienced social beatings, the more their hearts are higher than the sky.

There are still people on the Internet who think that Ma Qingyang and Ma Huaqian are just standing on the tuyere and encountering a good era.

Otherwise, those online unit dramas and online universities would have found students from the three major colleges to shoot them a long time ago, but no one would be able to watch them.

"It shouldn't be a problem, he's short of money. ”

Lu Entai said, "He and his girlfriend now rent a small house of ten square meters, and there is no other income except for the theater, and the girlfriend he made before school was broken up because he had no money, and the salary you gave him is enough for two or three months' salary, which can be regarded as a help for him." ”

Even if it is the Modu Drama Academy, the salary is not very high, and for those who have just entered like Lei Jiayin, the salary is estimated to be seven or eight hundred, plus rehearsal fees and performance fees, and it will be more than two thousand points a month.

The income of drama actors is like this, Guo Jingfei, a real genius of the younger generation in the Modu Drama Center, who played the leading role one after another as soon as he entered the troupe, is still living with his girlfriend at his brother-in-law Lu Yi's house.

......

After walking for about ten minutes, I came to a two-story bungalow.

Ascending to the second floor, Lu Entai knocked on the door of one of the rooms.

The door was quickly opened, she was a very beautiful girl, with a melon seed face and a thin figure, it should be Lei Jiayin's girlfriend Zhai Xufei.

Seeing Lu Entai, Zhai Xufei immediately welcomed him in with a smile.

"Senior brother, you are here, this is Director Li, hello Director Li. ”

"Hello sister-in-law, just call me Li Qian. ”

Li Qian entered the door and looked at it, the house is indeed very small, more than a dozen square meters, tables, TVs, refrigerators, shoe cabinets, wardrobes, a lot of things, crowded and full, but it doesn't look messy, there are a few unknown pots of flowers on the window, and it is really good to have a woman at home.

"Senior brother, Director Li. ”

Lei Jiayin, who was behind Zhai Xufei, also said hello to the two of them, but his expression was a little embarrassed.

"Hello Brother Lei. ”

After saying hello, the four of them sat down around the table.

However, the place is too small to fit so many chairs, and two people have to sit on the bed to squeeze in.

The script has already been read to Lei Jiayin, and he knows the intention, and after introducing each other, Li Qian went straight to the point.

"Brother Lei, sister-in-law, you have also read the script, although we are an online movie, but this role has great potential, and the performance is very brilliant, and I only need about 12 days of schedule, which will not delay the performance of your troupe. ”

"Of course, as an online movie, we have limited funds and can only give a salary of 6,000 yuan. ”

Five hundred yuan a day is the price code offered by Li Qian, which is definitely not low for an Internet university.

Hengdian now generally starts with a salary of 100 days for the male number one of the general network students, and the male number one for ordinary group performances is more than 100, and the special salary is more than 200, and the performance majors of local theater troupes and ordinary art colleges are more expensive.

With Lei Jiayin's current state, it is unlikely that he will refuse, looking at his appearance, he is not the kind of person with a particularly high spirit, and he has been beaten by society for at least a year after leaving school.

Sure enough, hearing Li Qian's offer, Lei Jiayin's eyes were obviously a little moved.

It is impossible for any man who rents a small room of ten square meters with his girlfriend to be indifferent to money.

Lei Jiayin looked at the small space in front of him, his girlfriend hadn't added new clothes to his wardrobe for a long time, and the cosmetics on the dresser had also changed the brand, although he didn't know it, but looking at the workmanship of the bottle, there was obviously a difference in grade, and the number seemed to be less.

The ex-girlfriend also got it because she was poor.

Moreover, he still hasn't received a play for more than a year after graduation, but his girlfriend is about to star in a live-action special drama "Golden Armor Warrior".

Even if it's a special effects drama, after all, it's the female number one.

This kind of gap makes Lei Jiayin more eager to have filming.

"I ......"

Lei Jiayin just wanted to open his mouth, but Zhai Xufei's hand next to him slapped his leg below.

"Director Li, can you talk about this movie?" Zhai Xufei finished speaking, and glanced at Lu Entai with a little apology.

Zhai Xufei did not agree with Lei Jiasheng to make any online movies, although online movies are also called movies, but the production cost of hundreds of thousands, unprofessional team, and half a month of shooting cycle, that is synonymous with shoddy production.

The price drop also makes the resume not good-looking, if someone else asks you to film in the future, it will definitely be a minus for an online movie.

It's just that Lu Entai came forward in person, and she couldn't refuse, if she could use this to get a relationship, she would shoot it.

But although he is ready to take over this scene, he still has to see how the director is, after all, Li Qian looks younger than them.

Li Qian probably knows their concerns, this is a normal thing, the 23-year-old director can't fool the group of young and beautiful girls who dream of stardom in the Hengdian Film and Television Base.

"Brother Lei, sister-in-law, then let me tell me about this play and the role. ”

After organizing some language, Li Qian spoke, "First of all, this is a suspense film that takes place most of the time in the claustrophobic space of the phone booth. ”

"The plot is very simple, I'll talk about some of my thoughts on shooting, you have also seen the storyboard, long shots account for the majority, in a semi-enclosed space, long shots are easier for the audience to substitute in, in order to avoid the destruction of the rhythm and atmosphere by long shots, the post-editing will also add a lot of short shots of fast-paced music. ”

It will also be interspersed with a lot of momentary shots of high-rise buildings, more intuitively presenting the oppression of the protagonist in the low and narrow telephone booth, which makes the image very tense and depressed. ”

......

Li Qian didn't say how wonderful the story of this play is, how new it is, the connotation to be expressed, and so on.

For a movie, for a film director, storyboarding is the basis for testing ability, otherwise it will be in vain, Li Qian wants to use his professional ability to reassure Lei Jiayin.

"Of course, as a one-man show, the most important thing depends on Brother Lei's performance, as an ordinary person in society who is bad, but not so bad that he is heinous and struggling on the edge of survival and decency, you have some longings, and have a good affair outside of a dull marriage, lobbying and mediating between all parties, just to make some small gains, and think carefully with a small abacus, here to make money. ”

Such a powerless little person was forced into a corner, almost had a personality collapse and went on a rampage, from pretending to be ruthless and scolding at the beginning, to being forced to be obedient for a while, to the situation changing and trying to break through, to the end of the emotional out-of-control and on the verge of collapse and wanting to shoot himself, the character has a lot of room for development. ”

......

After analyzing a lot, Li Qian looked at Lei Jiayin's somewhat decadent face, and said with a smile, "Actually, Brother Lei, you look very depressed now, your life is in the hands of others, and you are forced to compromise but are unwilling, and more panic and fear are very suitable for the role." ”

Hearing this, Lei Jiayin was a little embarrassed, and he also knew that his current state was very sad, but he was not the first person to say this, and he didn't care.

In the end, Li Qian still succeeded in persuading Lei Jiayin and Zhai Xufei, took out the contract, and the two parties signed it, and the matter was decided.

Li Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, put away the contract, and said, "The movie is tentatively scheduled to start in ten days, and tomorrow I will send a stylist to design the image of Brother Lei, measure the size and set the clothes, after all, this role is also a successful person, and the appearance still needs to be paid attention to." ”

Lei Jiayin smiled embarrassedly with a big face when he heard this, his current down-and-out appearance really can't match that of successful people.

"By the way, from now on, Brother Lei, you also have to adapt to the role, especially at the beginning of the scene of walking and talking on the phone to deal with customers in all aspects, busy but not in a hurry, in a hurry and not in a hurry, in a panic but not in a panic, no matter how difficult the work is, you can deal with it very calmly, which is also in contrast to the state in the back. Li Qian said again.

The box office is calculated based on effective clicks, and each effective click costs five yuan, and only after watching for 6 minutes can it be counted as an effective click.

In other words, even if you watch the first five minutes, you don't have a dime.

So the beginning is especially important, if it doesn't attract the audience at the beginning, it will be in vain.

Unlike theatrical movies, you can only go in to watch it if you buy a ticket, even if you leave the show after watching it for a minute, the filmmaker also gets the money for this ticket.

After thinking about Li Qian's words, Lei Jiayin said, "Then I will go to CBD during this time, feel the living conditions of the elites in the workplace, and strive to enter the state before the start of filming, so that it is in line with the character's temperament in terms of walking, speaking speed, and tone." ”

Although it is only an Internet university, Lei Jiayin still tries his best to take it seriously, not only for the 6,000 yuan salary, but also for the future of his girlfriend.

......

Lu Entai still had to rehearse today, and Li Qian also had to go back to prepare for the crew, so he didn't stay long, and said some role problems, and left.

The Modu Drama Academy was on the way back, passing by the school gate, Li Qian saw a boy who was a little familiar, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

"Brother Tai, look at the boy in the white T-shirt. ”

"What's wrong?"

Following the direction of Li Qian's finger, Lu Entai saw a little boy with a pot lid on his head, looking at the school at the door, and he didn't know why.

"Don't you think he's very suitable for the role of the actor's assistant, he has a special temperament, stupid, and how to say it. ”

Li Qian looked at the boy with the head of the pot from a distance, and a word popped out of his mouth.

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

Lu Entai pondered for a while and nodded, "I do feel a little bit, but it doesn't seem to be a student of the Drama Academy." ”
