Chapter Seventy-Six, Cutting in Line

"Yang Dada, there is not very good news. Prince Lin pushed the door in with an ugly face.

Yang Zhu, who was carefully watching the photos sent back by the director on the computer, raised his head: "What's wrong?"

Lin Tu gently closed the office door: "Hongxiang Capital recommended a star over there, wanting to fight for the male lead in this movie." ”

When Yang Zhu heard this, his brows furrowed tightly;

When this film was established, the budget was as high as 120 million, although it was not top-notch, but it was also a big production in China, so after several negotiations, Hongxiang Capital also injected 40 million into it.

With the success of Yang Zhu's two films, many people have long been staring at them, and projects with a return on capital of more than 100% are fragrant buns everywhere.

The absorption of Hongxiang Capital's capital injection is not only to share the capital risk, but also the practice of film and television projects: if you eat meat, you have to leave soup for others, and eating alone will offend people!

However, there are many annoying aspects of the joint venture project, for example, both parties are qualified to recommend important actors, although from the unspoken rules, Yang Zhu's side should first set the most important roles, and the remaining one or two main roles are recommended by Hongxiang Capital.

But......

Yang Zhu's movie has a total of 4 roles: the hero and heroine, plus a villain and a little girl.

The heroine knows that it must be Wan Jing, and the villain is determined by Prince Lin early, and there is no child star on the side of Hongxiang Capital; in this case, people recommend a male artist to look at the male protagonist in the mirror, and Yang Zhu is really hard to say anything.

Who told you that you don't have male artists?

Yang Zhu took out a cigarette and lit it with some irritability, NND, I was still swaying between Guo Tao and Pan Yueming two days ago, and I plan to let them PK before deciding who will play the leading role;

......

"Who is the artist recommended by the other party, do you have any information?" Yang Zhu took a few puffs of cigarette and asked Lin Tu.

Lin Tu took out a USB flash drive and handed it over: "The other party's name is Ling Xiaoshu, he debuted in 02, and he has been mixing in the TV circle...... Although it is not as good as Guo Tao and them, it is okay. ”

Yang Zhu didn't have much impression of this name, took the USB flash drive and inserted it into the computer to take a look, this person was a little familiar, and thought about it carefully, isn't this the playboy in "The Temptation to Go Home" in another world?

He exhaled a little depressedly, and originally thought that if the other party sent a small fresh meat or something, he would be able to use the sentence "The acting skills are not good" to go back, but this Ling Xiaoshu ...... In the impression that he has left, the acting skills are still okay?

Yang Zhu took two big sips again, and then extinguished the cigarette butt: "Cheng, in this case, everyone should follow the rules, and call over there and ask him to come over this afternoon to try the mirror." ”

When Prince Lin heard this, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Yang Dada liked Guo Tao or Pan Yueming to be the male lead, he knew it;

Immediately without saying a word, I went out to make a call.

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

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a nanny car appeared under the office building where Salted Fish Studio was located.

A woman in her thirties checked the location information on her phone and looked around through the car window: "Yes, yes here." ”

The car door opened, and a man and a woman stepped out.

"Sister Wen, are you sure it's here?" Ling Xiaoshu looked at the office building that had been around for a few years, and asked with a frown.

"Yes, yes. The agent known as Sister Wen said.

"Isn't it a movie with an investment of more than 100 million, how can it be in such a place? It can't be a liar, right?" Ling Xiaoshu hesitated.

Sister Wen gave him a reassuring look: "It shouldn't be, Salted Fish Studio has already made two movies, and the box office is not bad, it shouldn't be a liar, but it's ......"

Sister Wen seemed to think of something: "At the beginning, this salted fish studio made movies made by small and medium-sized productions, and suddenly a big production of more than 100 million came, but I am afraid that it is a little greasy inside."

Ling Xiaoshu looked at his agent, his face was a little unpleasant: "You mean, this movie may be an empty shell project?"

The so-called shell project is that there is a script, a code, and even pretending to start filming, but either the grass stage team finished filming in a sloppy manner, and the actual cost is less than 1/4 of the budget; or it offers sky-high salaries to the actors on the surface, but privately signs a low-cost yin and yang contract; as for why it is done, everyone knows in their hearts.

Sister Wen sighed: "It is possible, although this project is a joint venture between Dahua Investment and Hongxiang Capital behind us, but what about capital...... It's not once or twice. ”

It's no wonder they think so, you know, in the "faΓ§ade first" entertainment industry, even a leather bag company will take out the last coin in their pocket to decorate their office beautifully, or rent themselves a dress that does not match the price to dress themselves up like dogs, in order not to let others look down on them.

A willful and reckless film and television organization like Salted Fish Studio is really the only one.

Ling Xiaoshu showed a trace of disappointment in his eyes: he thought he could get into the film industry......

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

The two walked into the elevator of the "civilian" office building, and Sister Wen took out a tissue to wrap her hand with some disgust, and pressed the button on the 13th floor: "This salted fish studio is too unsophisticated, and it even chose the office location on the 13th floor, and didn't invite a feng shui master to come and have a look?"

looked at Ling Xiaoshu's not very good face, and admonished: "Whether it is an empty shell project or not, after entering for a while, there should be no less etiquette, and the posture must also be displayed; ”

Ling Xiaoshu nodded and began to adjust his mentality and manage facial expressions.

After getting out of the elevator, the two walked to the door of room 1303, gently pressed the doorbell, and after a while, the little white rabbit opened the door and welcomed the two in.

Ling Xiaoshu's eyes lit up when he saw the little white rabbit dressed in casual Hanfu, and he immediately felt that this office with a total of less than 100 square meters was not so cold.

When they entered Yang Zhu's office, they saw this twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man with a ruffian face, and the last glimmer of hope in their hearts was completely shattered......

After the greetings, Yang Daguan carefully observed Ling Xiaoshu in front of him.

What should I say about this man's appearance? Not handsome in the real sense, but definitely not ugly;

Some emaciated cheeks, a pair of slightly triangular eyes, a decadent and decadent aura came to the face;

Well...... is a relatively recognizable actor, this kind of image may not be very popular in the TV circle, but it is very suitable in the film industry, the most important thing is that it is consistent with the image requirements of the male protagonist in his script;

No wonder Hongxiang Capital recommended such a No. 1 person to come over, it seems that he has worked hard, not all cats and dogs are stuffed here.

"Hmm...... Mr. Ling and Miss Wen, you are all busy people, so let's get straight to the point. Yang Zhu handed over the root performance, Ling Xiaoshu politely refused, he didn't care, he took a puff of his own cigarette.

"Mr. Ling, there is nothing wrong with your image, including your previous works, I have also seen it, but acting on TV and acting in movies are two different things, I still need to confirm your expressiveness on the spot. Yang Zhu beckoned, and the little white rabbit came over with two copies of the male protagonist's script, first gave one to his own boss, and then handed the other one to Ling Xiaoshu.

Ling Xiaoshu was a little unhappy in his heart, thinking to himself why a shell-breaking project was so formal, couldn't everyone deal with it in the past?

However, remembering Sister Wen's previous instructions, his face remained silent, and he leaned forward respectfully: "Okay, Director Yang, which part do you want me to play?"

Although Yang Zhu felt that his respectful expression was a bit fake, he thought that everyone was meeting for the first time, and he was a little director, so he didn't take it to heart: "Then the third paragraph on page 5, that is, the part where the male protagonist is in a hurry to send his daughter to the train station, prepare, and start in 5 minutes." ”

Ling Xiaoshu suppressed all the emotions in his heart and read the script seriously.

5 minutes later, he first nodded to Yang Zhu, then stood up, closed his eyes and brewed emotions,

After more than ten seconds, he opened his eyes, showing a trace of impatience on his face, but quickly turned into a somewhat perfunctory expression of comfort, first exhaled deeply from his nose, and then squatted down and touched the corner of the coffee table:

"Xiao Dan, listen to Dad, let's go in and find Mom, okay? Dad will be late if he doesn't go to work, and if he is late, he will be deducted from his salary, and then he will have no money to buy dolls for Xiao Dan. ”

Yang Zhu touched his chin and was done. Although there are still some routines in all aspects of the expression, the general feeling is out.

"OK, this paragraph, turn to page 9, paragraph 5, and perform the part where the male protagonist closes the aisle door and locks the passengers behind. ”

......

More than twenty minutes later, when the impatience in Ling Xiaoshu's heart was about to explode, Yang Zhu stopped teaching and said to Ling Xiaoshu, "OK, let's be here first today." ”

Signaling the little white rabbit on the side to replace the cold tea for the two, Yang Zhu thought for a while and said: "Mr. Ling, I have a general understanding of your situation, I can't hide it, your acting skills are indeed a little short of the male protagonist's requirements......"

Ling Xiaoshu, who felt that he had been a monkey for more than twenty minutes, changed his face and wanted to explode, but finally endured it.

Yang Zhu, who lowered his head and took the cup, didn't see this scene: "But what about ......"

"After all, Dahua Investment and Hongxiang Capital are in a state of cooperation, if you can endure hardships at that time, you will completely obey my arrangements and orders when filming, and the role of the male protagonist is not impossible to give to you. ”

Ling Xiaoshu looked at the confident Yang Zhu, and was disdainful in his heart, meaning that without Hongxiang Capital, you wouldn't look down on me?

Who do you think you are?

But he still smiled and said: "Thank you Director Yang for your attention, if I can be lucky enough to participate, I will trouble you in the future." ”

Yang Zhu saw his reluctance and didn't care: "Okay, then that's all for today, we will send you the contract later, I hope we can cooperate happily." ”

Ling Xiaoshu and Sister Wen got up, shook hands politely, and turned to leave.

Going downstairs to the side of the nanny car, Ling Xiaoshu took a sip fiercely:

"Phew, what the hell ......"

PS: According to the editor, it will be on the shelves on Friday, but I don't know exactly when it will be, so I hope you will support it.

As for how much it can explode every day after it is put on the shelves,

Well...... Try your best to explode 10,000 words a day, when you can't bear it, when it comes down, if you say more, as the author of the handicap party, the fungus is really beyond my strength.
