Chapter 18: Finalize the heroine
"Ah Ming, what's going on with you lately, you don't answer the phone", Xu Ziming, who had just come out of the Golden Princess Cinema, was scolded by Wang Jin on the other end of the phone.
"Ah Jin, I've been too busy lately, I haven't noticed it, there's something important", Xu Ziming said with a smile on his face.
"What do you mean by not paying attention, don't you care about the films you invest in at all", Wang Jin stuck his waist, his face full of dissatisfaction, "It's not good for me to make a decision on the selection of actors, this matter has to wait for us to finalize it together."
Xu Ziming asked embarrassedly: "Then do you have a rough candidate now, you can't get the script yet", Xu Ziming remembered that Wang Jin said that after the script was changed, he would give it to himself, but this thing didn't seem to have happened at all.
"Hmph", Wang Jin pretended to say, "I have already written this script in my head, and today I have found some suitable candidates for my mission, and I am waiting for you to come over and decide whether it is good or not." "After all, the money invested in this film has not been paid out by himself, so let Xu Ziming check it.
"Okay, you name the address, and I'll go find you. ”
It's really a panic, how can it be the Peninsula Hotel again, when Xu Ziming heard Wang Jin say the word Peninsula in his mouth, he didn't have to think about it, the Peninsula Hotel, which is known as the lady of the Far East.
As soon as he arrived at the hotel, Wang Jin pointed to a beautifully dressed figure and said, "This is your sister Qian's good friend Zhong Chuhong, you already know each other!"
"Dead fatty, how do you know that I know him", Zhong Chuhong's sexy lips rose slightly, and he said jokingly.
Xu Ziming was very surprised to see Zhong Chuhong again, walked to Wang Jin's voice, and asked in a low voice: "How do you know that I know Sister Hong, do you mean this, don't do this if you want to repay me", Xu Ziming's face was puzzled and surprised.
Wang Jin was very uncomfortable being caught between these two people, and took a few steps back to explain, "I'm talking nonsense, how do I know that you know, I called Ah Hong over because I saw that Ah Hong had no schedule." ”
"This beauty hasn't been introduced yet!", Zhong Chuhong smiled and then turned back.
Xu Ziming became more familiar with the beautiful woman standing behind Zhong Chuhong, but he couldn't remember what her name was.
Wang Jin looked at Xu Ziming in surprise and whispered: "You don't know this? Her name is Huan Xue! She just switched from ATV last year, but Zeng Jin played Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", and set the first million-rated female star in Hong Kong history with this drama.
Xu Ziming remembered it, but he didn't understand that she was so beautiful when she was young, no wonder Cheng Long was so infatuated with her.
Seeing the two big men muttering in front of her, Huan Xue stepped forward generously and said, "Hello, I'm Huan Xue!"
Xu Ziming stretched out his hand and shook it, only to feel that the soft wattle in his hand was weak and boneless, and his skin was like clotted fat.
"Why, Ah Ming, these two people are good, Ah Hong plays Zhang Xiaoyong, Ah Xue plays Zhou Ling, what do you think", seeing that everyone has also said hello, Wang Jin saw that good things could not be delayed any longer, otherwise the filming progress of the movie would be difficult to handle, and a batch of equipment rented from Shaw Brothers was spent in vain, so he took advantage of the fact that he was sitting in the position and said.
"Ah Jin, I haven't read the script, you asked me to knock on the candidate, how to knock it, how do I know this", Xu Ziming is really uncomfortable, this Wang Jin is a little unreliable in how he does things, he still believes in him so much before, it seems that there will be cooperation in the future, and he has to find someone to urge him.
"Haha", Wang Jin scratched his head embarrassedly, and said apologetically, "Amin, I also brought the script now, why don't you read it again."
Without saying a word, Wang Jin took out a stack of rough papers from the briefcase on the chair.
Xu Ziming saw the script of this stack of thieves, and hurriedly stopped, "Ah Jin, if you want to finish reading this script, it will definitely take two or three minutes to read it, do you still want two pretty beauties to wait here", Xu Ziming really didn't look down, and reminded Wang Jindao, "It's better to do this, you verbally explain the main characters and their personality characteristics."
Wang Jin did find that Zhong Chuhong and Wei Xue's expressions were a little unnatural, and he agreed, "Okay, I'll start a brief introduction to the main character......
After listening to Wang Jin's brief introduction to the main characters and their character traits of "A Thousand Kings Fighting a Thousand Tyrants", Xu Ziming immediately said, "Zhang Xiaoyong loves and hates clearly, and Sister Hong plays it very suitable."
"Really?", Zhong Chuhong on the side put down the coffee table in his hand and smiled at Xu Ziming.
"Of course", Xu Ziming found that there was a smile in Wang Jin's eyes on the other side, and found that Huan Xue's expression was a little lost, so he quickly put aside the topic and said, "Zhou Ling played by A Xue is exactly like his person, cute and innocent." ”
Seeing Xu Ziming deliberately touting himself, Wei Xue's face blushed slightly, "Mr. Xu, I will play this role well", although Xu Xue is a popular star in the TV series, but there are few opportunities to shoot movies, so naturally he is too unfamiliar with Xu Ziming in front of him.
Looking at the pure and beautiful Xue in front of him, Xu Ziming turned his head sideways and asked Zhong Chuhong, who was drinking tea for a while, "Sister Hong, why didn't Sister Qian come over today."
"You said Qianren, she has a schedule recently, so she doesn't have time to come over", Zhong Chuhong said very lightly.
"It's a pity, there are three heroines in this movie, except for you and Ah Xue, there is no one to play the role of Lulu, if Sister Qian is free, she must be asked to play Lulu", Xu Ziming felt a little regretful.
"It's a pity, your sister's salary is higher than my and Axue's salary, and ah, how much do you plan to pay", Zhong Chuhong's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly quipped.
"Ah Hong, this remuneration is not for Ah Ming, I am responsible for it", Wang Jin is really afraid that Xu Ziming will give Zhong Chuhong a high salary on a whim, so the hundreds of thousands of such an investment is really not enough to shoot, so he interjected in a hurry.
"Yes, Sister Hong, I'm just an investor, and the screenwriters and directors are all Ah Jin, so the salary is decided by Ah Jin", Xu Ziming also chose the right time to throw the perm to Wang Jin.
"Okay then", Zhong Chuhong could only let go of Xu Ziming on one side and said to Wang Jin, "Dead fatty, how do you say the salary is calculated?"
Good brother, Wang Jin can only complain in his heart about Xu Ziming's injustice, "Ah Hong, you said that we are also friends, why are you so anxious to ask about the salary, my Wang Jin's personality guarantee, Ah Hong, as long as you can also play the position, the salary is naturally not low."
Zhong Chuhong originally mentioned the salary just to make a joke, but he didn't expect the two of them to take it seriously, but Wang Jin talked about it, so naturally he didn't say anything anymore.
However, Huan Xue on the side was a little embarrassed, feeling that she couldn't fit into the circle of the three of them, and began to have the idea of leaving.
