In the conference room, the auditions have been held several times in a row.

Deng Chao sat face-to-face with one actor after another, with a curtain in the middle, repeating the scene in the script where he talked after determining the identity of the other party after twenty years apart.

"Whew!"

At the end of another game, Deng Chao breathed a long sigh of relief.

changed five fathers in the morning, but he died awkwardly.

"Brother Chao, you can rest for a while, let's wait for the next one. ”

Li Qian also looked helpless, the actors he carefully selected for audition in the past few days are absolutely qualified in every appearance and acting skills.

However, after trying a scene, let alone the actors, Li Qian looked embarrassed.

Among actors of the same age, Liu Ye played the best.

Judging from the scenes played by him and Deng Chao separately, there is no problem, they are both qualified fathers and sons.

But once you are in the same frame, no matter how good the performance is, you will inevitably feel disobedient.

Once it looks inconsistent in the footage of the two in the same frame after editing, the plot of 20 years ago and 20 years later is easy to separate.

This sense of disobedience is a bit like Chen Daoming in "Infernal Affairs 3".

If you want to talk about performance and appearance, Chen Daoming's performance is absolutely fine, but he feels embarrassed and is not on the same channel as others.

Sure enough, it can't be too idealistic, and you still have to find an actor who obviously looks older than Deng Chao.

In the original version in memory, the age of the two protagonists looks like father and son, and there is no need to add the thirty-year age difference in the middle.

After a while, the next actor who auditioned, Hu Jun, arrived on time.

"Hello Brother Jun. ”

Li Qian greeted Hu Jun with a smile, and then looked at the other person who was walking next to him.

Wang Jinghua, the famous No. 1 agent in the mainland, also followed.

"Mr. Wang. ”

"Hello Director Li. ”

Wang Jinghua said with a smile, "I've wanted to get to know Director Li for a long time, and I'm really as young and promising as rumored." ”

"Mr. Wang is polite. ”

The two sides didn't have much to do with each other, didn't talk a word, and got down to business.

I got some of the scripts two days ago, so I didn't need to prepare, and I started directly.

Hu Jun and Deng Chao sat opposite each other, separated by a curtain, and no one could see anyone.

To perform the feeling of face-to-face conversation, Li Qian also planned to shoot at the same time when filming, rather than one person playing another person's lines.

Two machines and two scenes, it may be a waste of film and time, but this kind of communication will be more natural, after all, it is not just a conversation or two.

Auditions begin.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

The primary concern of parents is always the lifelong affairs of their children.

"Well, we're a little conflicted right now, but I'll try. ”

Deng Chao did not show impatience like ordinary people when they were urged to marry, after all, this is a father who has not seen him for twenty years.

It's like a father who has been away from home coming home, and the child confides in his father about his life during this time.

Wu Jun also showed a satisfied smile on his face, just looking ahead, just like watching a healthy child who is about to start a family.

There are no excited words, just plain and bland, full of warmth.

agreed to stay in front of the radio station on time tomorrow, but they were reluctant to hang up, waiting for the other party to hang up first.

After being quiet for a while, Wu Jun was a little hesitant before arriving, "Son, Dad loves you." ”

"I love you too, Dad. ”

"I miss you so much. ”

Deng Chao's eyes were already filled with tears, this was the first time they had called each other "Dad" and "Son" since they confirmed each other's identities and chatted all night.

"Click. ”

At the end of the performance, Li Qian shouted to stop.

"It's good, although there are still some problems with the performance, but the feelings are in place. ”

"Brother Jun, the child is not young. ”

"I'll be six next month. ”

Speaking of his children, Hu Jun, who has the image of a tough guy, is also full of tenderness.

has his father's experience, and he is more comfortable acting.

Hu Jun fully meets his own requirements, whether it is a firefighter or his father's identity, and the father-son drama between him and Deng Chao is not against harmony.

Although he is 39 years old, it is really disobedient for an actor who is a few years younger.

There are two actors in the back, but if the salary is suitable and can be negotiated, it will be a passing scene later.

It was the agent's business to negotiate the contract, so Li Qian invited Wang Jinghua to a small conference room next door.

Everything else is easy to discuss, but the difference in remuneration is too great.

"Mr. Wang, for any movie, Hu Jun can't get a salary of 1 million. ”

It's 1 million when you open your mouth, and it's really not money.

Li Qian shook his head, "I'm a small-budget movie, I can only give 300,000 yuan, and the salary of the two leading actors was only 500,000 yuan, which is already overrun." ”

"300,000?"

Hearing this number, Wang Jinghua couldn't help but feel a little angry.

1 million is indeed high, this is to give Li Qian a room for counteroffer, but I didn't expect to cut it directly twice.

"Director Li, last year, Hu Jun's salary for "Curiosity Kills the Cat" was one million, and there is no reason not to rise but fall this year. ”

Wang Jinghua said with a smile, although she wants to make friends with Li Qian, a potential director, it does not mean that she will give up her interests and those of the actors.

"Curiosity Kills the Cat?"

Li Qian smiled, "I've seen that film, starring Hu Jun and Liu Jialing, plus film shooting, the cost is not small, and the final box office seems to be only five million." ”

In addition, Hu Jun's salary for "Red Cliff" is only 800,000 yuan, or two up and down, and a single film is 400,000 yuan, and the costume blockbuster takes a long time to shoot and is more tiring, so my movie is much easier. ”

Wang Jinghua looked at Li Qian differently now, I heard that he only opened a photography studio and filmed for two months, and now he has just set foot in movies, so he knows so much about things in the industry.

"Red Cliff" is not an ordinary blockbuster, Hu Jun starred in a salary cut, and Zhao Wei also received a salary of 800,000 yuan, but her salary for other movies started at least 2 million. ”

The implication is that you can take a salary reduction when you take "Red Cliff", but other movies.

This is also the truth, a very realistic thing, Li Qian is not angry, and the agent is a buffer between the actor and the producer, doing this.

A big production of the level of "Red Cliff", coupled with Wu Yusen's name, let alone 800,000, a large number of actors take the initiative to get together without money.

"400,000. ”

"Mr. Wang should also know that my last online "Jaws" broke 20 million at the box office in more than a month after it was launched, and starring in a movie with a box office of 20 million yuan is worth more than 100,000 yuan. ”

Seeing that Li Qian didn't react, Wang Jinghua said with a smile, "The movie is different from the Internet University, you can watch it for free if you have members." ”

"Jaws" has nearly 500,000 paid viewers in addition to members, and how many domestic movies have reached 500,000 viewers last year. Li Qian said lightly.

Sensing the change in Li Qian's tone, Wang Jinghua didn't want to go too far, after all, Li Qian's potential is valued by several major companies, and capable directors, even if they are agents like her, have to make friends.

Young people are already prone to impulsiveness, and if it goes too far and angers Li Qian, it will be a bit more than worth the loss.

So Wang Jinghua also agreed, but there was one condition, a few more supporting roles.

For her, it is normal to put a few actors in the movies starring her own actors, and even some movies are directly packaged, and the leading actors are all her own actors.

Li Qian felt a little funny, this person was really a bull, and he started the CAA bundle and packaging.

But CAA is CAA, and she doesn't look at who her actors are.

"Since that's the case, then forget it, trouble Mr. Wang to run away. ”

Shaking his head, Li Qian got up and left the small conference room.
