Chapter 169

"Hey, let's start looking. ”

Jiang Shu sighed and began the long process of reading the script.

This year.

Good movies don't come out often.

But all the same......

The kind of bad movies that are extremely bad are also a handful.

Jiang Shu wants to find one.

It's not easy!

......

Jiang Shu spent two days roughly reading all the more than 40 scripts.

Then the egg hurt to find.

Of the more than 40 scripts, none of them met his requirements.

While picking the script.

Jiang Shu still has a relatively clear goal.

Make a low one, no!

The script is good, no!

The character is not the male protagonist.,No!

The first two requirements naturally need not be mentioned.

Especially the script......

As the core of a drama, the quality of the script directly determines the quality of a drama.

Of course, Jiang Shu can't choose a crew with a high-quality script to join.

That was clearly death.

As for why Jiang Shu must ask himself to play the male lead.

It's simple.

When a bad movie is made, who is the person who gets scolded the most?

Of course, it is the male and female protagonists of this play.

In most of the plays, Jiang Shu can't be the heroine.

But the male protagonist must be the one.

Such......

When this drama is characterized as a bad movie, as the male lead, he will definitely be affected and lose a lot of fans.

And Jiang Shu is just playing a mere second or third male role.

There is a male protagonist in front, no matter how good or bad this drama is, it does not have such a big impact on Jiang Shu.

Therefore, in the next drama, Jiang Shu's actor is decided, and he himself said that Jesus couldn't stop it.

In these more than forty scripts.

There is a script that has a high probability of hitting the street in Jiang Shu's opinion.

And it's still a big production that can't be denied.

But, alas.

The male protagonist of that drama has long been selected.

It's a popular traffic small fresh meat.

Jiang recounted the words of the past.

can only go and mix with the second male.

Thereupon.

Jiang Shu could only envy the little fresh meat while passing this script.

But......

After that drama was passed.

Jiang Shu didn't have a favorite.

The remaining thirty-nine scripts all did not meet Jiang Shu's expectations.

Either the investment is too low to pay him at all.

Either the script is not bad, and there is no possibility that it will be a bad movie.

"Sure enough, these days, it is not easy to find a big-budget bad movie. After all, not everyone has the same luck as Director Zhang!" Jiang Shu sighed.

With the 'masterpiece' of "Scorching Youth", Director Zhang was promoted to one of the well-known bad film directors in the Chinese film and television industry in a short period of time.

It's pretty fast.

In fact.

If it weren't for the stiffness of the relationship between the two sides.

Jiang Shu planned to go to Director Zhang.

Jiang Shu was not very confident in his level of appreciation.

But if you follow Director Zhang.

The probability of making a bad movie will be greatly increased!

"Oh, it's a pity......"

............

Another day later.

Wang Youwei took the initiative to contact Jiang Shu.

Connect the phone.

Wang Youwei came up and asked, "Jiang Shu, how did you read the script, do you think it's appropriate?"

Jiang Shu let out a long sigh and said, "I've read all of these scripts you brought roughly, but I haven't found a suitable one. ”

"There is no suitable one, this shouldn't be......" Wang Youwei was stunned for a moment.

Among the more than forty scripts he brought before.

is both a big production and a star drama, and there are more than a dozen of them.

These more than a dozen star dramas cover various types of films, including campus dramas, workplace dramas, costume dramas, fantasy dramas, etc., and the quality of the scripts is not bad, why can't you pick any of them!

'Jiang Shu is really a little too refined!'

Wang Youwei attributed the reason why Jiang Shu didn't like those scripts to Jiang Shu's too much refinement.

But think about it too.

Jiang Shu has just finished filming "Dead People Can Talk", a high-reputation film with a pod score of 9.1 points.

If the next part is a bad movie.

That will have a bad impact on Jiang Shu's reputation in the industry.

Sure enough, Jiang Shu was very thoughtful. ’

Wang Youwei secretly said in his heart.

Now, what the film and television industry lacks is a spirit similar to Jiang Shu's incomparably critical script.

Not to mention.

At the moment, some traffic stars, in order to make money, simply accept any bad movie.

It's a miasma.

"Brother Wang, what's the situation on your side?" Here, Jiang Shu asked.

"In the past few days, I have received more than a dozen scripts here, you are at home now, I will send them to you immediately. Wang Youwei responded.

Wang Youwei's place of residence is not far from the apartment rented by Jiang Shu.

So it took less than half an hour to come to Jiang Shu's house.

It needs to be mentioned here.

In the past half a year, as Jiang Shu's coffee position has risen, Wang Youwei has also made a lot of money as Jiang Shu's agent.

Some time ago.

Wang Youwei's family officially moved out of the more than 30 square meters they had rented before and bought a house near the Third Ring Road in Yanjing City.

............

Jiang Shu's home.

Wang Youwei didn't use the sack this time.

I used a regular briefcase.

"Oh, that's all the scripts I've received in the past few days, a total of eleven, see if there's anything you like. ”

Wang Youwei once again put a stack of scripts in front of Jiang Shu.

Jiang Shu nodded.

Then I picked up a random copy of the script and started flipping through it.

"No way!"

"This won't work either!"

"This still doesn't work!"

One script after another was passed by Jiang Shu.

Wang Youwei looked at the script that was casually thrown aside by Jiang Shu, as if he was looking at stacks of hundred-yuan bills, and his flesh was extremely painful.

To know.

The eleven scripts here, each of which gives Jiang Shu a very generous salary.

Then

Jiang Shu began to look through the last script.

This is an urban emotional drama.

The male protagonist that Jiang Shu wants to play is a rich scumbag.

Jiang Shu simply glanced at the script.

In this drama.

is full of all kinds of plots such as support, juniors, and cheating.

It can be described as a fragmentation of three views.

But......

This drama has the potential to be popular.

Because, the setting of its plot can easily make many viewers with different views tear each other apart.

And there is tearing.

There's heat.

With the heat, the ratings can easily rise.

What Jiang Shu wants is the kind of incomparably pure bad movie.

A bad movie that is purer than 24K.

It's not like this, although it's not popular, but it's a very popular film.

Thereupon.

This film, called "Love is Priceless", was also unsurprisingly passed by Jiang Shu.

So far.

The eleven scripts brought by Wang Youwei today were all rejected by Jiang Shu again without exception.

Wang Youwei glanced at Jiang Shu, "There is no phase?"

Jiang Shu shook his head and said with a sad face, "No, it's too difficult to find a suitable film." ”

It's so hard!

I want to find a pure bad movie.

It's so hard!

It's just a matter of being able to meet but not to be found.

On the other hand, Wang Youwei's side is not as lost as Jiang Shu.

Wang Youwei knows that Jiang Shu's pickiness of the script is striving for excellence, being responsible for the audience, and an interpretation of a good professional attitude.

As long as Jiang Shu maintains this concept, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a superstar.

"Don't be too disappointed, anyway, there is still time, and you should be able to find a film that you are satisfied with. If that doesn't work, you can also turn around and release a few songs for a little transition. Wang Youwei comforted Jiang Shu.

But after listening to Wang Youwei's words, Jiang Shu became even more determined to make the crew as soon as possible.

Forget it.

Jiang Shu is already a little reflexive about singing.

I'm afraid that if I don't pay attention, I will sing some classic songs.

"Jiang Shu, let me tell you......" Wang Youwei just wanted to say something to Jiang Shu again.

Suddenly.

Wang Youwei's mobile phone rang.

Someone called.

Wang Youwei looked up at Jiang Shu, "It's a director, I should be looking for you to make an appointment." ”

Jiang Shu stretched out his hand and motioned to Wang Youwei, "Brother Wang, you can take it." ”

Wang Youwei nodded and connected the director's phone.

At the same time, hands-free is turned on.

"Hey, Director Tan!"

"Agent Wang, hello, I won't say much nonsense, I heard that your artist Jiang Shu is going to take over the show, I happen to have a drama to start filming here, do you want Jiang Shu to come over and try the camera." ”

"Is it the male number one?"

However, there are still quite a lot of people competing for this position, and whether you can pass the audition depends on your artist's ability. ”

"Do you have a script for that play now?"

"Yes, I just got it out some time ago. ”

"Send me a copy, and after we read the script, we'll give you a reply to Director Tan. ”

"No problem, but you have to do it as soon as possible, the audition for the male lead of this drama is scheduled for next week. The male protagonist of my play, but there are some people in a hurry to get on it, if you are late, you won't even have the opportunity to audition. ”

"OK, I'll get back to you as soon as possible. ”

Smack——!

After saying this, Wang Youwei snapped and hung up the phone, as if he didn't want to talk more with that Director Tan for a second.

"Another crew took the initiative to come to the door, but I don't know if this drama meets my expectations. There was a hint of curiosity in Jiang Shu's tone.

Wang Youwei hesitated for a moment and said, "Jiang Shu, you advise you not to have too high expectations for this drama, that Director Tan...... It's really unreliable. ”

"Oh?" Jiang Shu raised his eyebrows, and his appetite was aroused by Wang Youwei's words, "Brother Wang, you tell me in detail." ”

Then.

Wang Youwei introduced to Jiang Shu the 'glorious deeds' of Director Tan.

Director Tan, full name Tan Darong.

He is a well-known TV drama director in China.

But......

Tan Darong is known for a different reason than other directors.

Other directors are well-known to the audience because they have made a lot of excellent works.

But Tan Darong became famous because he made many bad movies.

is the same as Bi Qifeng and Bi Dao in the film industry.

And because of this.

Tan Darong and Bi Qifeng were jokingly called the Wolong and Phoenix Chicks in the Chinese film and television industry by netizens.

One is Wolong (Rong).

One is a phoenix (peak) chick.

Since Tan Darong's debut, a total of eight TV series have been filmed.

Thereinto.

The drama with the highest rating of Pods only has a rating of 7.0.

The scores of the rest of the films are all below 5 points.

is completely worthy of the title of bad movie director.

Director Zhang of "Scorching Youth" can barely be regarded as a newcomer in the ranks of bad movie directors.

Tan Darong is different!

This is an old-timer among bad movie directors.

In terms of qualifications and works, he completely crushed Director Zhang.

As for why Tan Darong and Bi Qifeng, the two Wolong and Phoenix Chicks, have made so many bad movies, they are still active in the film and television industry, and every drama they shoot is a big production with a high investment.

Bi Qifeng is because he has a good relationship with some bosses and has made friends with many rich people who are stupid and rich.

And Tan Darong......

It's because he's a rich man himself.

To be precise, Tan Darong is a rich second generation.

His father is the CEO of a certain power group, and he is far behind Jiang Shu's father Jiang Zhi on the domestic Forbes list, but he can barely squeeze into the top 50.

Thereupon.

Even after making so many bad movies, I lost a lot of money.

Tan Darong is still making every film, and the investment is not low.

"Jiang Shu, let me tell you, Tan Darong is a well-known king of bad movies in our circle, and I suggest you don't take his films. "After introducing Tan Darong's 'glorious deeds', Wang Youwei said very much for Jiang Shu's sake.

But, Jiang Shu is here.

After listening to Wang Youwei's introduction to Tan Darong, Jiang Shu's originally gloomy eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light.

Tan Darong is like this.

Isn't that the person you're looking for?

Since he has been named the title of 'bad movie director', this Tan Darong must have a lot of experience in shooting bad movies.

Follow this director Tan Darong, the probability of making a bad movie is extremely high!

But......

Jiang Shu was not in a hurry.

I just heard Wang Youwei and Tan Darong chatting.

Tan Darong has already sent the script to Wang Youwei.

In the end, whether Tan Darong is worthy of the title of 'bad movie director' and leads Jiang Shu to the journey of losing fans, or he has to wait until he reads the script.

"Ahem. Jiang Shu coughed lightly and said slowly, "Brother Wang, don't make a decision so arbitrarily, Director Tan personally called just now, and he has already explained his sincerity, and it's not good for us to refuse directly." I think we'll wait until we've read the script. ”

Wang Youwei nodded, "That's right." ”

Although in Wang Youwei's opinion, with Jiang Shu's critical eye, he can't look down on Tan Darong's script 100%.

But...... The process still has to go through a bit.

Dingtone ——!

At this time, Wang Youwei's mobile phone rang crisply.

It was Tan Darong who sent the script to Wang Youwei by email.

"I'll go downstairs and print out the script. ”

After speaking, Wang Youwei got up and left.

A few minutes later.

Wang Youwei pushed the door in.

In his hand was a script that had just been printed out and was still warm to the touch.

The script is quite thick.

It looks like it's about two or three hundred pages.

Go without saying.

Just looking at this thickness, Jiang Shu knew that this drama would have to shoot at least twenty or thirty episodes.

"Director Tan told me on WeChat just now that the total investment of this drama is 150 million, and the starring role has not yet been decided, but if you want to pass the audition, you will have at least 5 million salary. ”

After Wang Youwei briefly introduced the situation of this drama, he handed the script to Jiang Shu.

At first glance, Jiang Shu noticed the four big black bold characters printed on the cover.

"Wonder League"!
