Chapter 165: Breaking the Contract with You
After Mei Shiyu agreed to be the male protagonist of "Internet Mystery", Lin Yi contacted Yang Nanhua to help him start forming the crew.
In fact, the male protagonist of "Internet Mystery" is a father in his forties, and Mei Shiyu is only nearly thirty years old, judging from the age gap between the characters and actors, Mei Shiyu is not Lin Yi's best choice.
But Lin Yi felt that Mei Shiyu had that kind of thing very much... The melancholy engineer temperament is very much in line with the male protagonist of "Internet Mystery".
Lin Yi has watched Mei Shiyu's plays, and the interpretation of every role is very good.
It is not impossible to say that he is the best actor under the age of 30 in the Chinese entertainment industry.
Besides, in the entertainment industry, a mother in her thirties can play a silly white sweet who has just entered the WTO, and what is the difficulty of a 30-year-old boy playing a father in his 40s?
And Mei Shiyu is a person from the Beijing circle, and it is easy to deal with people in a circle.
After looking for the male owner, there are actually female protagonists looking for it. The heroine of this play is the daughter of the male protagonist, and there is also a very important role, that is, the female policeman who covers up her crimes in the name of office... And the male protagonist's drug-addicted brother...
Bell bell bell.
Lin Yi's phone rang, and it was Yang Nanhua calling.
"Hello?"
"Of the actresses you were going to contact, few of them were willing to play that role. Yang Nanhua's indifferent voice sounded in Lin Yi's ears.
Lin Yi nodded, and he asked Yang Nanhua to contact several very mature middle-aged actresses in the entertainment industry.
But unfortunately, none of the actresses wanted to star.
"Hmm. Lin Yi was silent and didn't give any response.
In fact, he can probably guess that there are several reasons why they are reluctant to act, that is, they dislike Lin Yi as a second-rate singer who turned into a director.
And I dislike the production of this movie is very magical and not in the stream, after all, they are already middle-aged actresses, and there are actually very few choices for middle-aged actresses.
They don't want to accompany Lin Yi to take risks, and they don't look down on Lin Yi as a director!
"Yu Qing didn't plan to come either?" Lin Yi asked again.
"Mm-hmm, she said, she's not available now..."Yang Nanhua's voice was a little hoarse.
Lin Yi was silent again, Yu Qing is a very ambitious middle-aged actress, her acting skills are not the top in the Mesozoic, but she is still above the passing line. What impressed Lin Yi was her speech on the spot to fight for the rights of middle-aged actresses...
But... shouted that there was no filming and the drama was narrow, in fact, it was just because he was not strong enough, but he saw it too high, and he couldn't look down on it...
"Okay..."Lin Yi was a little helpless.
"But—" There was another echo on the other end of the line.
"But what?" Lin Yi hurriedly asked.
"One of them, she said she could take the play. Yang Nanhua said indifferently.
"Who is it?" Lin Yi asked again.
"Jin Lengyi. The name came on the other end of the line.
Hearing this name, Lin Yi frowned, this person is nearly fifty years old, and his age and personal experience are more suitable for this play.
But... Lin Yi didn't have a good impression of this person...
"Okay, then you can sign a contract with her when you get a chance. Lin Yi finally said.
It doesn't matter if he's a mule or a horse, can't he just pull it out and slip around? Besides, mules can work!
Next, there is the daughter of the male protagonist, and the wife of the male protagonist. In fact, there are not many scenes for these two characters, especially the wife of the male protagonist, which only takes one day to finish.
Lin Yi lay on the sofa and thought about it for a long time, and many personal pictures popped up in his mind, but after thinking about it, he ruled them out
After all... The result of deliberation is no result.
After finding a location, you need to find investment.
Because the cost of this drama is very low, it probably won't cost five million Huaxia coins when it adds up, and this cost doesn't need to be invested, Lin Yi can handle it himself.
Originally, Lin Yi's biggest headache may have been Mei Shiyu's salary, but this kid was very skinny, saying that he didn't need a salary, he just needed to share the box office account at that time and give him a sip of soup. Anyway, it's all his own family, and he's idle when he's idle.
In such a tabletop movie, Lin Yi doesn't even need to prepare a crew, only a few cameramen, and then hand it over to powerful post-production.
The cameraman, Lin Yi found a few familiar people in the crew of "We Are in Love" and "Let the Bullets Fly".
Especially Xiaoyou, when she heard that Lin Yi was going to make a movie, she was as excited as if she was going to make a movie.
"Ahh
Who is the male protagonist's daughter and the male protagonist's wife?
Thinking about it, Lin Yi fell asleep.
He's so tired these days... While busy with the script, he also finished "Harry Potter".
It's a pity that his time management skills are not good enough, otherwise, he wouldn't be so tired...
In Beijing, Mr. She's film company.
As a well-known boss in the entertainment industry in Beijing, Mr. She's film company also has a certain right to speak in the whole of China. But with the decline of the Beijing circle in recent years and the rise of Internet capital, he has also declined.
"I don't know how Lin Yi's kid movie went..."Mr. She said with a little annoyance.
He is really optimistic about Lin Yi, and this is a low-budget movie, coupled with Lin Yi and Mei Shiyu, the box office appeal of these two can at least ensure that this low-cost movie will not lose money.
But the cost of this film is simply too low ... It is so low that Lin Yi, a second-rate star, can complete the entire production cost by himself.
There was a knock at the door.
What came in immediately was Mr. She and Lin Yi, who were no strangers, Peng Ze.
"Peng Ze, you're here. Mr. She looked at Peng Ze a little enthusiastically.
Although he abandoned Peng Ze for Lin Yi last time, he was the director he signed after all, and he will make a lot of money for himself in the future.
"Don't pour me tea, I'll give you a few words and leave. Peng Ze said indifferently.
Hearing this, Mr. She was stunned for a moment.
What's going on?
"Peng Ze, what happened last time..."Mr. She just wanted to explain.
"The last time, it's over. Peng Ze's face was indifferent.
"Yes, it's over... In the past, don't mention the past. If you have a script that you want to shoot recently, tell me and show me, and if I like it, I will help you start the project immediately. Mr. She said confidently.
"No hassle. Peng Ze's face was still indifferent.
"I'm here to terminate the contract with you this time!" Peng Ze said indifferently.
