This time, Guan Jinpeng is only responsible for determining the actors, as for the salary, there will be a producer to connect with He Xin's agent Chang Jihong.

At dinner that day, Guan Jinpeng also talked about the scene when he met He Xin for the first time, saying that he was 80,000 yuan when he opened his mouth at that time, and He Xin was very embarrassed.

Lao Guan said: "At the end, I made up my mind to let you play the role of Lan Yu, do you know what it is?"

"What?"

Lao Guan had never mentioned this, and of course he didn't know.

"It was because you asked for 80,000 that I really made up my mind to use you. ”

"Director, don't mess with me. ”

"I'm not kidding, I'm telling the truth. Because Lan Yu had a relationship with Handong for money from the beginning, I think your mentality at that time was very similar to Lan Yu's. ”

“......”

Later, He Xin learned that the agent named Kong Yishan turned out to be Wang Jinghua, it is said that he had just signed a contract, and originally wanted to use the relationship between Hu Jun and Guan Jinpeng to stuff his actors into the crew.

In recent years, directors and artists from Hong Kong and Taiwan are still very popular in the mainland, especially directors like Guan Jinpeng, who have been proven by awards, as well as Li Jiaxin and Yi Nengjing, who are first-line stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan, and the two actors in "Lan Yu" are produced by CCTV International Television Corporation and Beijing Yahuan Audio-Visual Production Company.

With a strong behind-the-scenes and cast, a producer with a deep background, and CCTV's broadcast platform, it should be said that the TV series "Painting Soul" has all the conditions for explosion, and it is naturally a sweet spot in the eyes of people from all walks of life.

It's just that the four leading actors in the play are decided by Guan Jinpeng in one word, and the rest, a few scenes with heavier roles, such as Anna, Pan Zanhua's eldest wife Xianzhen, and Pan Yuliang's initial Qinglou top Xiaolan girl have also become the targets of competition from all parties.

Xianzhen is played by an actor in the system recommended by the International Television Corporation, and Xiaolan girl is played by Zhou Yue, an actor in the sitcom "Happy Street".

The producer of "Happy Street" is Beijing Yahuan Audio-Visual Production Company, and Liu Ye, who was in the first phase of Guan Jinpeng when preparing for "Lan Yu", is also the male lead actor of this sitcom.

Therefore, the relationship between the producer, the production company, the director, the actor, and the agent in a play is complicated, and not anyone can get the role casually.

At the beginning, He Xin was favored by Wang Xiaoshuai and Guan Jinpeng one after another, and starred in two very influential movies, which was the halo of the protagonist!

Because in addition to the four leading actors, Niu Le is responsible for the casting of other roles, so when He Xin recommended candidates, Lao Guan didn't know the inside story very well, and then Niu Le reminded him euphemistically, and He Xin suddenly realized.

It's really embarrassing to say this, Hu Jun is his brother and friend, and when Cheng Hao was able to get the role of Ah Zi very smoothly, Hu Jun also contributed. And his girlfriend often says that when she is filming in the crew, Brother Hu Jun takes good care of her, and usually calls her younger siblings.

For this reason, He Xin made a special call to explain this matter to Hu Jun. As a result, Hu Jun didn't know about it at all, and he was quite embarrassed to hear it.

Although he doesn't quite agree with Wang Jinghua's all-encompassing style, the cooperative relationship between him and Sister Hua is very good, in a sense, it is not just the relationship between the actor and the agent, but the relationship between friends.

And now since Wang Jinghua joined Huayi Brothers, the number of signed actors under it has increased day by day, but there are so many resources, what should I do?

can only rely on the influence of these top brands, plugging and packing.

Of course, Hu Jun can't say that Wang Jinghua will withdraw people, and he can't say that He Xin can take a step back, and in the end he can only say that everyone has their own abilities, and whoever is in the director's photo is who.

But Wang Jinghua was quite depressed about this matter, she originally thought it was a sure thing, but she didn't expect that she would make a trip to bite the gold halfway, and it was He Xin. Together with the last "Chinese-style Divorce", this is the second time, and it is necessary to make a note in the small notebook.

However, after Chang Jihong heard about this, he actually had a very relieved expression, and sure enough, his peers were enemies!

"Xiaohe, if that girl can really pass the audition, you can say hello to her when you come back and ask her if she would like to sign in with me. ”

He Xin was immediately surprised when he heard this: "Sister Hong, are you so angry with that side?"

"Who's angry with her!"

Sister Hong sighed and muttered: "On the one hand, because you are optimistic about her, at least it shows that the girl still has some potential, and on the other hand, if she can really win the audition, it means that she is no worse than that actor, and she may become popular after acting in this play." Of course, if she doesn't pass the audition, then you don't say it. ”

Sister Hong's words sound quite realistic, but that's the way it is. Tang Wei is now only a third-year student in the directing department, without any works, and it is impossible to sign her just because He Xin is beeping.

He Xin thought about it, for a student like Tang Wei, who has no background and no access, and is not even a rookie, but likes to perform, it would be a good thing to be able to sign an agent like Sister Hong, at least she won't worry about not having a chance to perform in the future.

"Then what do you mean, do you want her to sign it in your personal name or Haiyan Company?" He Xin asked.

"Yo, it looks like you really have confidence in your classmate?" Sister Hong said in surprise.

"It's not that I'm confident, I just think she's very talented in acting. ”

Of course, He Xin would not say that Tang Tang would be the goddess of domestic literary films in the future, he smiled at Sister Hong and said: "Even if she doesn't pass the audition this time, if you still sign her, I dare to guarantee that you will not regret it in the future." ”

"Is it such an exaggeration?" Chang Ji Honghu looked at him suspiciously, and said, "You shouldn't be a crush on someone, right?"

"Tsk, Sister Hong, why are you here again? I'm serious with you, since you don't want to hear it, then even if I don't say it, you will regret it in the future!"

"Hearing you say that, I'm going to have to observe more in the future. But for now, I'll wait until she's auditioned. ”

Although what He Xin said was evil, Sister Hong may not take it to heart. She took out a contract and handed it to He Xindao: "You can take a look first, if you don't have any opinions, I plan to sign it with them." ”

Anyway, the speed of the production company is really fast, he just met Guan Jinpeng that day, and they contacted Sister Hong the next day. The producer knows very well that He Xin is designated by Guan Jinpeng, and there is no possibility of change, but on the part of the actors, there may be schedule conflicts, or because of awards and popularity, his value has skyrocketed all of a sudden, and there are many unexpected factors.

Especially He Xin, the movie "Balzac and the Little Tailor" starring him is said to have signed up for this year's Golden Horse Awards, and will compete for next year's Golden Globe Awards;

So now that the director has been finalized, it has become the most urgent task for the producer to implement the contract as soon as possible.

In fact, Chang Jihong did not take these factors into account, but the specific situation is not as rumored by the outside world, first of all, the release of "Jade Guanyin", because Ding Xiaohei's later stage is very slow, and the original plan to land on the screen at the end of this year and early next year will be postponed.

Secondly, because the French producer of "The Little Tailor" did not sign up for this year's Golden Horse Awards in order to specialize in the Golden Globe Awards at the beginning of next year, I heard Desger say that he planned to put it until next year.

So it doesn't matter if the contract is signed early or late.

He Xin took it and flipped through it, that kind of rules and regulations are checked by Sister Hong, don't worry about him, he just glanced at the salary, which clearly stated that the salary per episode was 22,005. According to his almost 20 episodes in this play, he finally got about 200,000 yuan, which he was very satisfied with.

At the same time, I felt a little amused by the number above, and couldn't help but say: "How can there be a whole and a zero?"

Sister Hong said with a smile: "I offered 25,000 yuan, and they returned it to 20,000, and finally I said don't fight around, everyone takes a step back and opens it in half, so it becomes 22,000 five." ”

"No problem, let's sign it. ”

In fact, according to the salary of 700,000 yuan in He Xin's last movie, the current salary of the 251-episode TV series should be said to be a serious mismatch.

But there is no way, who told him that he is not well-known now? The film salary is good to say, the French film company that is the main investor of "Purple Butterfly" has bought out the overseas copyright, and He Xin has become famous overseas, especially in the French literary film circle, with "Bicycle", "Lan Yu", and "The Little Tailor". Not to mention the salary of 700,000 yuan, even if it is half of Zhang Ziyi's, 1 million, I am afraid that French filmmakers are willing to pay this price.

He Xin estimated that he wanted to explode in China, and it seemed that it was not enough to rely on a "Jade Guanyin", and he had to wait for the release of "Conquest".

After returning from filming "Purple Butterfly", he contacted Uncle Gao Qun once, and it was said that the later stage was almost over, just waiting for the buyer to come to the door. With the ratings of Lao Gao's last "Thirteen Murders", it is estimated that this drama will not be sold.

"There's something else I'd like to discuss with you. After Sister Hong put the contract away, she said again.

"What's the matter?"

"It's Wen Li's husband who has been resting since he finished filming Jiang Wen's "The Devil is Coming", and it's been several years. Since the beginning of this year, he has been preparing a film to direct himself, and now he has almost done it, and plans to start shooting next spring, when he wants to ask you to play a cameo role. ”

"Next spring, won't this conflict with the schedule of "Painting Souls"!" He Xin hesitated.

Sister Hong's husband is Jiang Wenli's husband, the famous photographer Gu Changwei.

Speaking of this, it is true that I have rarely heard his name in the past two years, but it is quite shocking to open his resume!

He graduated from the 78th class of Nortel Photography Department and is a classmate and close friend of the National Normal School. As a photographer, he has filmed movies such as "The Child King", "Red Sorghum", "Code Name Jaguar", "Ju Dou", "Farewell My Concubine", "Sunny Day", "Lanling King", "The Devil is Coming" and other well-known names.

There is probably only one "Code Name Jaguar" that is a stain on the careers of the national teacher, Gong Li, and Uncle Ge, and any of the rest is well-known and has a good reputation at home and abroad.

It is said that the photographer is half a director, and the national teacher is a photographer, when he won the Golden Bear Award at the 38th Berlin Film Festival with "Red Sorghum", Director Kai Ge also said sourly, Ya, isn't it me a photographer!

Now Gu Changwei, a once famous photographer, seems to be following in the footsteps of the national teacher, and he is finally about to pick up the guide tube.

It's just that He Xin's impression of the name of director Gu Changwei doesn't seem to be profound, and the only movie he has directed is Chen Chichi, a relative of director Kai Ge, and the so-called "Micro Love: Getting Better" starring the cutout king and big baby in the so-called Siyang Shuangli.

At the time, he was quite funny when he watched it, but now that he looks back, it can only be said that it is insignificant love, and it is indeed cheap.

From beginning to end, the movie is full of bloody and outdated Internet jokes, blunt and contrived facial expressions, Handan's toddler-like tribute to the classics, arbitrary product placement, and inexplicable plot reversals, it is simply a cheap and mediocre joke collection movie.

It's definitely comparable to "Laughing Rivers and Lakes"!

So Gu Changwei is a photographer, He Xin respects him very much, but as a director, he doesn't dare to compliment him with a movie like "Micro Love".

"This play of his, I have been polishing it for a long time, I have read the script, it is very good! Chang Wei means to invite you to make a cameo appearance as a paratrooper with the heroine's crush, there are not many scenes, at most only a few days. ”

After only a few days of work, He Xin felt that it was not a big problem, no matter what, after all, he was Jiang Wenli's husband, and the face of the senior sister of the same family must be given.

"Okay!"

He nodded, and asked casually, "What's the name of this piece?"

"Peacock!"
