Chapter 180: Is a Korean Actor Okay?
For ordinary actresses, the heroine who plays this play may not be a good choice.
The first is the salary, the production cost of this drama is very low, and the salary budget for the female number one is only 200,000, and it is only a budget.
Then there's the shooting environment. The background of this story is a mountainous countryside, for the sake of the movie effect, and in order to save costs, it will be filmed on the spot, since it is a choice to go deep into the real countryside, then the living conditions will definitely not be too good, if it is an ordinary pampered actress, may not be able to endure the hardship.
There is also the difficulty of acting, the setting of the heroine is a little girl from a rural background who works in the county, if she does not have this experience, it is difficult to perform such a character. It also involves a **** scene, and the average young actress may not have the spirit of sacrificing for art.
These circumstances have been clearly written in the notice, so when Xingyu Film and Television received the resumes of various roles, the female number one did not plan to audition for a while, and some were some unpopular actors who tried their luck.
The old man told Jiang Chao about this situation and added: "Otherwise, let's relax the conditions for the female number one a little?"
Jiang Chao was silent for a while and said, "Can the female number one in this drama use Koreans?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "Korean, don't say it, I have really worked with Korean actresses before." But it was a few years ago, when I was just a lighting engineer, and there was a Korean female number two in the crew. β
The old man's eyes rolled upward, as if he was recalling: "To be reasonable, Korean actors are much better served than in our country." People take filming very seriously and dedicatedly, and they don't have so many messy requirements. As long as it is purely for the effect of the play, most Korean actors will honestly listen to the director's arrangement. β
Jiang Chao nodded slightly. The person he thought of was none other than Su Yeon's Korean friend, Lee Eun-joo.
At this time, the more the old man said, the more excited he became: "Don't say it, if there is really a Korean actor in the crew, we can add a little gimmick to the later marketing, but ......"
Jiang Chao was thinking about it, and when he heard the old man's words, he asked casually, "But what?"
"We're not going to be able to afford well-known Korean actors on a budget. β
Jiang Chao was silent for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "That's it, I'll be responsible for the matter of the female number one." If I can't do it, I'll think of something else. β
The old man's expression lit up: "Do you still have this way?"
Jiang Chao smiled mysteriously.
......
Su Yan has just gone through the procedures for terminating the contract today. Although she paid a lot of price, Su Yan still felt that it was worth it compared to going home and being free. At this time, she was standing downstairs in the shared apartment, but her heart was a little entangled. Compared with the price paid for terminating the contract, she stood on the more headache of how to tell Lee Eun-joo about it.
Lee Eun-joo auditioned for a role the day before yesterday and failed again, because the director said that Lee Eun-joo's temperament was too rustic. And that role was to play a rich girl, although Lee Eun-joo repeatedly said that she could learn, but she was ruthlessly rejected.
In fact, Korean movie actors, singers, and variety shows are completely people from two worlds, and in general, the status of actors in Korea is much higher than that of singers and idol groups, and it is difficult to look at the two with the same eyes. Korean cinema is unique in the whole of Asia, far surpassing Chinese on average. A large part of this is also due to the seriousness of Korean filmmakers towards films.
Su Yan sighed deeply. Now, Lee Eun-joo's dream footsteps have fallen into the quagmire again, it is her most difficult time, and how can she tell her that she is about to leave her and return to China at this time?
At this moment, Su Yan's mobile phone rang, international call, of course she knew who called.
"Heyβ" Su Yan dragged out her voice a little tiredly.
"What's wrong, I don't feel like you're in a good mood?"
Su Yan smiled bitterly and forced a smile: "I'm going back to China." Domestic companies have already been contacted. The response to the show last time was good, and it also had more than one million fans on Weibo. β
Jiang Chao was slightly stunned, and then said with a smile: "Congratulations, congratulations!
Su Yan said: "It cost a little bit...... Forget it. Tell me about you, why did you remember to call me?"
Jiang Chao smiled and said, "What's the matter, it's not okay to call you now to contact you?"
Su Yan snorted: "You have a girlfriend!
Jiang Chao smiled, and his tone became serious: "Okay, I won't tease you." Seriously, you're back, what about your friend? Isn't she going to sleep on the streets?"
Jiang Chao didn't say that it was okay, but as soon as she said this, Su Yan sighed long: "Oh-ah-I'm annoyed! I'm just worried about this! Her family's situation is too troublesome, I can still pay part of the rent in advance in the short term, but what about the long-term? If you want to borrow money from her, she will definitely not accept it." β
Jiang Chao smiled and said, "I'll give you an idea, doesn't she want to be an actress, why does she have to be in South Korea?"
Su Yan's eyes lit up, and she said in surprise: "You mean, let her also return to China with me for development?"
Jiang Chao didn't sell it anymore, and said straight to the point: "Let me tell you the truth, there is indeed such a movie that lacks a female number one ......" Jiang Chao began to talk......
Su Yan listened patiently, and her expression gradually became excited, "I think this can make her think about it!"
Jiang Chao smiled and said, "I also think it's the best of both worlds." Tell her about it for me!"
Su Yan's mood suddenly brightened, and her tone was a little high: "Thank you so much, Jiang Chao! The news you brought me is the best news I have heard today!"
......
When So-yeon returned to her room, Lee Eun-joo was mopping the floor.
"Eun-joo, you put the mop down first...... I have something to tell you. Su Yan casually threw her bag on the sofa, and then tied her hair up with elastic bands.
Li Enzhu's heart jumped, she knew that Su Yan was busy terminating the contract these days, it seems that Su Yan is already going back to China? Li Enzhu suddenly felt uncomfortable, not because the material backer was gone, but more because a girl like Su Yan with a well-off family can be so approachable and be her friend without dislike, Li Enzhu has long regarded Su Yan as her best friend.
The departure of a friend is what makes Lee Eun-joo sad.
But she was mentally prepared and pretended to laugh, "Huh, what's the matter?"
However, Su Yan asked with a smile: "Eunzhu, I want to ask if you would like to go to Huaguo to make a movie?"
Lee Eun-joo didn't expect Su Yan to ask this question at all, and was obviously stunned: "Huh?"
Su Yan said seriously: "Your acting skills are great, and your Chinese is also very good, I think you can consider going to our country to develop!"
Li Enzhu reacted, and thousands of thoughts suddenly appeared in his heart, his expression became complicated, and after a long time, he shook his head and said a little embarrassedly: "Don't be kidding, a young actor like me has no way at all, and I don't know how to go to China to make movies......"
Su Yan smiled brightly: "You don't need to worry about those things! As long as you are willing, there will be no problems." β
The more Li Eunzhu thought about it, the more strange she felt, and finally looked at Su Yan: "Ah...... I don't understand...... How can such a good thing happen?"
Only then did Su Yan tell Li Enzhu what Jiang Chao told him...... Finally, he added: "Don't worry, Jiang Chao is my best friend, and he can be trusted." If you pass, there will be a professional agent over there to receive you, and you will be assigned an assistant to take care of your daily life, you just need to listen to the director's tricks and shoot well. β
Speaking of which, Lee Eun-joo's mood has become fluctuating, and it is impossible not to be excited. But this decision is too big to be made all at once. She fell silent, her expression was a little tangled, and she hesitated for a long time: "Su Yan, can I think about it?"
Su Yan nodded and took Li Eunzhu's hand: "Well, think about it." But I really hope you can go!
Lee Eun-joo was moved and nodded seriously.
