Chapter 7 Fighting Xing Wu Yue and Director Fang Da
Lincheng high-speed rail station
Chen Fatzi walked proudly on the square at the entrance of the high-speed rail station with a pair of toad glasses, and behind him was Zuo Le, who was holding half a hamburger and looking indignant.
"It's so dark, an ordinary chicken burger sells for 25 yuan, and with two more dollars, I can buy half a chicken in the vegetable market." ”
Fat Chen sneered: "Look at your little interest, you still have to take this money to heart." ”
Zuo Le glanced at him expressionlessly: "Before saying this, can you first transfer the money for the two hamburgers and a glass of Coke you just ate to me, thank you, a total of 69." ”
"Ahem......"
Fat Chen coughed twice in embarrassment, his eyes were erratic, and then he took out his mobile phone from his trouser pocket, found a screenshot of the chat history, showed it to Zuo Le, and changed the topic very bluntly.
"Wu Yue's home is in Z County, and it's very close to your home, why don't you go and see it?" ”
Zuo Le glanced at this hard-pressed married man with an allowance of no more than 500 a month, and the adult had a large number of noble hands.
"I used to go home when I was on vacation, but now it's important to get down to business. ”
Chen Fatzi nodded, seeing that the topic had shifted, and it germinated in a solid state, he shook his mobile phone a little sneeringly and said: "Look at my brother's connections, Wu Yue is such a big name, my brother will contact him when he says it." ”
Zuo Le couldn't look down on Chen Fatzi so much, so he directly opened his mouth and said: "How did I hear that Wu Yue was contacted by the old party, when Wu Yue first debuted, the old party helped him a few times, and the other party accepted the old party's love this time, so he agreed to appear in "Underground Transportation Station".
Why is it your credit to be confused now, Brother Chen, you are not afraid that the old party will know to clean you up. ”
Chen Fatzi was pierced by Zuo Le, and he was not annoyed, he smiled: "Look at what you said, the old party is just pulling a line, isn't it me who contacted the other party's agent?"
Zuo Le was too lazy to fight with him, so he pulled Chen Fatzi to the taxi gathering place outside the high-speed rail station, called a taxi, showed the driver the address, and the two rushed to Wuyue's community.
............
About forty or fifty minutes later, Zuo Le and the others found their destination community, Chen Fatzi called Wu Yue's agent, and it didn't take long for a young man in his early twenties to find them, say hello to the security guard at the door, and take the two into the community.
On the way, the young man introduced himself as Wu Yue's assistant, and now Wu Yue's agent is dealing with an endorsement in the magic capital, so today it is mainly Wu Yue himself who negotiates with him and Zuo Le.
After a while, the three of them took the elevator and came to Wu Yue's residence, and Zuo Le finally met the main owner, his future male protagonist - Wu Cai Shuigen Yue.
Wu Yue, who is 29 years old this year, looks very young, has a handsome and delicate face, and is full of fresh meat in the entertainment industry.
However, Zuo Le, who knows Wuyue's information, knows that the quiet star in front of him has won three national martial arts championships, national athletes, and one of the most promising action actors of the younger generation when he was a teenager.
It's just that these things have become a thing of the past not so long ago.
Last winter, Wu Yue was accidentally seriously injured during a filming, and although he recovered well from the injury, there are still very serious sequelae in his legs and waist.
This is a blow to Wu Yue, whose career is on the rise, and the degree of blow can be called the top of the five thunders.
Wu Yue is an action actor, ninety percent of the scenes he shoots are action movies, and the rest are also military roles in ancient costumes and martial arts.
Now that he can't do martial arts movements physically, is it difficult for him to only shoot literary dramas?
But who wants to watch a star-beating drama?
Who will ask him to shoot it?
It can be said that after the injury, Wu Yue encountered the most difficult moment after he entered the entertainment industry, and his career turned from prosperity to decline, and began to decline sharply.
............
People in the entertainment industry are rarely humane, especially those large companies controlled by capital.
After learning that Wu Yue was physically unable to make action movies, he unilaterally terminated the contracts with Wu Yue from several film and television contracts he had signed before.
What's even more infuriating is that these filmmakers put all the blame on Wu Yue on the grounds that Wu Yue was injured and could not complete the filming, resulting in although the filmmakers took the initiative to terminate the contract, Wu Yue did not receive any compensation.
Although from the perspective of the legal system and interests, the filmmaker is right to do this, but logically, the filmmaker's behavior is too cold and chilling.
In this regard, the Wuyue team was also very angry, and even prepared to file a lawsuit with these filmmakers, but was stopped by the boss of the brokerage company to which they belonged.
After all, Wu Yue still has to mix in the circle after that, and he can't tear his face with these filmmakers with a lot of backgrounds, otherwise let alone Wu Yue, even the brokerage company will be resisted and suppressed to a certain extent.
Wu Yue's brokerage company can barely be regarded as second-rate in the entertainment industry, and he really doesn't have the courage to argue with those filmmakers and the investment companies behind them.
As a result, Wu Yue could only be forced to sacrifice and semi-forcibly eat this bitter fruit.
But Wu Yue, who has been practicing martial arts since he was a child, is obviously not a reluctant character, and soon after this incident, he terminated the contract with his agency and came out to work alone.
In his words, Lao Tzu just quits the circle and doesn't do this business, and he doesn't work with bastards like you who stick a knife in your back.
............
However, although Wu Yue's move lifted his anger and relieved his hatred, it also made him suffer a lot of losses.
Although his old club did not dare to argue with those filmmakers with complex backgrounds, they had the confidence to clean up Wu Yue single-handedly, and with their interference, Wu Yue's comeback road was full of difficulties and obstacles.
Since his accident, except for the recuperation stage, Wu Yue has not received a film appointment for almost half a year.
There are many reasons, in addition to the old club's secret obstruction, the most important thing is that the industry is not sure whether Wu Yue can adapt to literary drama.
After all, Wu Yue is famous for his kung fu, without kung fu, Wu Yue's own actor value can drop significantly, and if there is a good project, there is naturally no shortage of good actors to participate, and there is no need to bet on Wu Yue.
And the kind of bad dramas and bad movies that are pure money laundering have sent invitations, but Wu Yue can't watch them.
In addition, the Wuyue team has been busy dealing with the film contracts and endorsements signed by Wuyue before, and they can't spare the energy to public relations those high-quality crews.
In short, all kinds of coincidences.
To this day, "Underground Traffic Station" has become the first official film contract after Wu Yue was injured.
Because of this, Wu Yue attaches great importance to the comeback work of "Underground Traffic Station", and he also respects Zuo Le, the director and screenwriter, very much, which makes Zuo Le, who is used to being a little transparent, a little flattered.
You must know that before the accident, Wu Yue was the top handful of second-tier stars, and he is very promising to be among the first-tier stars in the future.
The entertainment industry is strictly hierarchical, compared with Wu Yue, Zuo Le, a rookie who directs for the first time, is really not qualified to put the director's score in front of the other party.
However, Zuo Le is not presumptuous, although he is now a fledgling and has a poor reputation, but after the broadcast of "Underground Transportation Station", he has a formal work by his side, and his status will naturally rise in steps.
Thinking of this, Zuo Le no longer suffered from gains and losses, and mentioned the spirit and discussed the script with Wu Yue.
The character of Cai Shuigen in "Underground Transportation Station" is bold and witty, calm and cautious and a little cunning, even if most of the laughter is on the villain's side, Cai Shuigen, as a decent protagonist, also has his own unique shining point.
There is a certain amount of room for acting skills, the character design is likable, and the role is also one of the best in the play, Wu Yue is very satisfied with the role he played, and even took notes when discussing the script with Zuo Le.
Until about four o'clock in the afternoon, Zuo Le and Wu Yue had a preliminary exchange, Wu Yue also recognized Zuo Le, the director, and Chen Fatzi took out the contract while the iron was hot, intending to sign a contract with Wu Yue.
Wu Yue was born in a martial artist, with a cheerful temperament, and there was no ambiguity when he saw this, he called a lawyer, and after checking the contract to determine that there was no problem, he took the signature pen and signed his name.
Cai Shuigen: √
............
declined Wu Yue's invitation to dinner, Zuo Le pulled Chen Fatzi to leave Lincheng directly by high-speed train, and returned to Quancheng to continue preparing for the crew.
On the way, Chen Fatzi flipped through Wu Yue's contract, pointing to the salary and Zuo Le's distressed thoughts.
"1.5 million, directly killed a small half of our capital budget, this is still Renwuyue has reduced a lot of salary, tsk, celebrities are really not something that our small families can afford. ”
Zuo Le was also very distressed about this large salary, but he still comforted Chen Fatzi and said: "No way, there is no star in the formation these years, let alone the ratings, I am afraid that the station does not even pay attention to it."
So even if we want to succeed in becoming a star, we have to smash this money, in fact, if you think about it from another angle, 1.5 million can bring a second-tier star as the protagonist, and we have doubled our earnings, if it weren't for the special situation of Wuyue, this salary is estimated to quadruple. ”
Chen Fatzi also understands this truth, but he is still worried about it: "No, I have to find Lao Fang to grind when I go back, and ask him to add some budget to us, no matter how bad it is, we will make up for Wu Yue's salary, otherwise it will be impossible to shoot below." ”
The filming funds were insufficient, and Zuo Le, the director, was also very anxious, and immediately nodded in agreement when he heard the words.
"I'll go to him with you, I still have an idea, didn't Lao Fang be an actor before, I am going to arrange a role for him in the play and pull him into our crew.
At that time, he put a lot of effort into "Underground Transportation Station", and he didn't need us to ask, he himself rushed to help. ”
"Yo he. ”
Fat Chen looked at Zuo Le with a little surprise: "I found that your kid is getting more and more yin, can you think of this kind of trick?"
Zuo Le was noncommittal: "How about you just say this idea?"
Fat Chen smashed his mouth: "If you have a lot of scenes, it is best to play the role of Wei Guangzheng, and the old man is the best." ”
Zuo Le thought for a moment and said categorically: "No problem, I'll give him the role of Shi Qingshan." ”
Fat Chen smiled treacherously, with a look of good drama on his face: "I'll talk to Lao Fang when I go back." ”
The next night, under the persuasion of Chen Fatzi's three-inch tongue, Director Fang successfully entered the set.
