Chapter 65: A New Male Lead
This night, Xu Hanzhou had insomnia.
It was the first insomnia since he was able to re-debut.
The stars in the sky are bright, and the moon is rare not to hide in the clouds, but hangs high in the sky, illuminating the mountains and rivers, so that the whole world is covered with a silver veil, which looks good.
Of course, he was not the only one who had insomnia this night, Li Youqing and Jiangbei also had insomnia.
Arcadia Community.
Jiang Bei stood at the door helplessly and knocked on the door: "Wife, can you open the door and listen to my explanation?"
It's a pity that there was no response, but a sudden voice came from the living room: call the landlord.
Well.
The gambling king of Ancheng is sitting cross-legged on the sofa to contribute to his road to the gambling king and work hard.
Li Youqing was angry.
Zhang Ye's sudden boycott brought her great pressure, and then she was caught The mastermind behind the scenes was from a domestic film and television company, and her husband also directly chose to be tough with the other party in public, which made the extremely stressed Xiao Nizi completely burst out, locked herself in the room and cried secretly, and refused to open the door no matter what the old man said.
Is Jiangbei distressed?
That must be distressing.
But if you don't do this, the consequences will be more serious, as a person in two lives, Jiangbei has a trade-off and rationality that young people don't have.
To put it simply, it's a matter of choosing between crying once and the whole plan.
Obviously, the old man chose the latter.
But should be coaxed or coaxed, who let himself make his wife cry?
"Youyou, can you open the door?"
"Baby, can you open the door?"
"Cutie?"
The old man's face was really a little thick, and he even started to say some witty things in front of Zhang Jiuliang, and he couldn't help but make a vomiting expression when he heard Liang Liang, and then continued to concentrate on fighting the landlord.
However, Li Youqing couldn't accept it a little, and opened the door directly, first glanced at Zhang Jiuliang on the sofa, and then glared at the old man with beautiful eyes and said, "Are you ashamed of your age?"
"Hehe...... Jiang Bei didn't refute, and stretched out his hand against the door to prevent Li Youqing from closing the door again.
As for the word shame, it doesn't exist in his dictionary at all, and the two worlds have long trained him with a face that can't be fried, so why would he care about this?
Li Youqing wasn't really angry, she just felt a little pressure, and she was thinking about Jiangbei wholeheartedly. Now that he was teased like this, he naturally didn't have any temper, so he simply wiped away his tears and walked out, complaining in his mouth: "Usually you are very steady in everything you do, why are you so impulsive in this matter? Obviously we can have a better solution!"
Zhang Ye's boycott was a big deal? At the beginning, it was very big, because Zhang Ye's boycott caused the filming of the entire movie to be in vain, and the losses were huge.
But even if these losses seemed huge before, they were completely worthless compared to offending Columbus Films and taking his own directorial career as a bet.
Just because I want to fight for a breath and be tough with the other party.
The price to be paid is too great.
"I think this solution is very good, straightforward, and defeats all conspiracies and tricks with strength. Jiangbei first went to the refrigerator and took out a row of AD calcium milk, and explained while walking to the sofa and sitting down.
The wife is angry and wants to coax, and she has to find something she likes to eat and drink on weekdays, so as to effectively soothe her irritable heart.
It's just that what he said made Li Youqing a little unhappy, and said dissatisfiedly: "Jiangbei, even if you think you have the strength and the quality of the script you write, you can't underestimate everyone." A mountain is taller than a mountain, just like no one can be the best in the world. β
That's a lot to the point.
The meaning is also very simple, I hope Jiangbei will not be arrogant and be modest.
Jiang Bei naturally nodded honestly and obediently, handed her the AD calcium milk with a straw inserted, and said: "What my wife taught me is that I must be humble and low-key in the future." β
"Humph!"
Li Youqing was so blocked by this sentence that he didn't know what to say, so he could only snort indignantly, took the AD calcium milk and bit the straw and drank it breathlessly.
"Slip~"
In just five seconds, a bottle of AD calcium milk was drunk by her, and she directly put the empty bottle on the coffee table, turned her head and asked, "Then can you tell me what you think next?"
Now that the matter has become a foregone conclusion, there is no point in saying more, and how to deal with the next thing is the point.
"Find a new actor and reshoot. Jiangbei took his AD calcium milk in his mouth and replied.
There is really nothing to think about in this matter, the purpose of delaying the filming process has been achieved, and the next thing is to find a new actor with very average acting skills to play the leading role, and then shoot according to the previous shooting method.
Li Youqing thought about it and nodded, thought about it and proposed: "A few days ago, I heard that Chinese actor Zhang Chao doesn't have a play in his hand yet, we can contact him to try it out and see if he is willing to join us." β
"Isn't the budget too much for the Chinese actor to join?" Jiang Bei asked with a frown.
This "Love Before Dawn" is a low-budget movie, and the actors' salaries will naturally not be very high, so basically some new actors and even trainees are invited to participate.
And actors like Zhang Chao, who have been added as actors, are generally worth relatively high, at least with Jiangbei's perception of the value of artists in the Chinese entertainment industry, if you want to invite Zhang Chao to film, you have to spend at least about 5 million.
The salary of five million is more than the budget of the movie itself.
"On the budget side, I went to talk to Manager Li, and I would rather expand the budget by 10 million, but also improve the quality of the movie as much as possible, so as to increase the probability of winning. Li Youqing analyzed seriously with a small face.
Now that the battle has been prepared, "Love Before the Dawn" and "Love in a Dilemma" are bound to have a winner or loser, so the conditions for winning are naturally box office and word of mouth.
"Uh... I don't think that's necessary, right? It's natural that the movie quality is good, and if the movie is not good, there is no actor to come. Jiangbei hesitated and persuaded.
He definitely doesn't want to invite an actor to play the leading role, because an actor like this who is a bit of a coffee will not talk to the director if he encounters a problem, and his own understanding of the role is much deeper than that of a rookie actor, so that the effect of the shoot is easy to get on the right track.
"Of course it is necessary, this is a key film related to whether you can be a director in the future, and we must be foolproof. Li Youqing spoke very seriously, which could make people deeply feel the firmness and decisiveness in her heart.
So Jiang Bei opened his mouth and simply closed it again, but his eyes were scurrying, thinking about how to prevent the actor from participating in the show.
"If you don't object, then it's decided, I'll go to Manager Li tomorrow to talk about it, and then contact Zhang Chao. β
Li Youqing has always been more efficient in doing things, and the next day after speaking, he found Li Shu to discuss increasing the investment budget for the film.
Now Li Shu has completely directed to Li Youqing's side, so Jiangbei did not send him any instructions that he disagreed. And because of the fire of the last movie, Jiangbei is now the darling of investors, and there are investors everywhere who send money to the door, and it is impossible to lack funds at all.
The matter of adding a budget was well resolved, but it encountered obstacles in inviting actor Zhang Chao to play the leading role in the movie.
Because Zhang Chao refused to play the role of the leading actor in "Love Before Dawn".
At first, Mr. Zhang Chao was very interested in joining, and also said that the salary could be discussed, but he called the next day to apologize, saying that he could not participate, and he refused to say the reason no matter how he asked. After receiving the news of Zhang Chao's refusal, Li Youqing said that he was puzzled, and said with a frown.
"What other reason can there be, it's nothing more than that I don't want to offend Columbus (Huaguo) Film and Television, or be bought by them. Jiang Bei replied disappreciatively.
The teammates are very powerful, and the black fan head said that he is very comfortable, so comfortable that he can control the overall situation without doing anything.
It's a very good feeling.
Of course, this also proves from the side that the decision to abandon the Anseong gambling king is correct.
Li Youqing stopped talking.
Silently bowed his head.
Jiang Bei felt strange and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Nizi hesitated for a moment, raised her head, and whispered, "Then can we also go and buy him?
"This ......"
Jiang Bei was a little stunned when he heard the words at first, but then the whole person's mood suddenly changed sharply.
The reason is that this sentence came out of Li Youqing's mouth, which was too surprising.
In Jiangbei's impression, Li Youqing is a money fan, and he is also a person with three upright views, and he never thinks about taking advantage of others and getting some income by bribery, otherwise he would not have run for three years in a row.
Even after becoming popular all over the country because of "Don't Stop the Camera", she still maintained her original intention to treat herself and others.
But now, Xiao Nizi would want to give others excess benefits to accomplish the goal.
And all this is so that he can make this movie well and win this silent war.
"Okay, okay, I'll find out if there are any other actors. Seeing that Jiangbei didn't speak, Li Youqing thought that he was dissatisfied with her proposal, and hurriedly waved his hand to veto his proposal just now.
It's just that Li Youqing's idea is more or less naΓ―ve, although there are many famous actors and actors in the entertainment industry, not everyone has a schedule to participate directly.
In addition, this matter is now well known in the entertainment industry, and many people don't want to participate in the struggle between the two families, so after finding five or six suitable actors in a row and being rejected, Li Youqing found that she was nowhere to be found!
At this time, six days have passed since Zhang Ye's strike, and the crew, who was originally only on vacation for three days, was forced to take another three days off, almost to the point where they couldn't continue to drag it on.
The crew is about to restart filming, the actors' schedules cannot be matched, and the bystanders who don't want to participate in the grievances between the two sides, and even public opinion began to appear on the Internet, saying with rhythm that the crew of "Love Before Dawn" stopped filming because they did not find the male lead.
Under multiple pressures, it is naturally impossible to spend time slowly looking for a new actor.
"If it doesn't work, just use the male artists inside Yihe. Jiang Bei saw that the time was almost up, so he proposed.
"But I always felt like they were a little bit out of steam. Li Youqing bit his lip and said.
These days, in addition to looking for a suitable male lead, she has also screened qualified male artists within Yihe, and the results did not satisfy her.
"Then there is no way to do it, and any longer dragging on the Internet public opinion can make our film difficult to deliver. Jiang Bei sighed and said helplessly.
Now the pressure of public opinion is too great, and the crew must give an answer as soon as possible, after all, the competition has begun, how can there be any reason for procrastination.
"Why don't you go up to Beibei yourself?" Suddenly, Li Youqing opened his mouth to propose.
Jiang Bei's eyelids jumped subconsciously when he heard this, and he said sharply: "I? no, no, no, I definitely can't." β
"Why can't you not try it?" Li Youqing persuaded.
"I definitely don't have to try this, I haven't acted before, how can I do it?" Jiangbei shook his head and refused directly.
Li Youqing has to say more.
At this time, the door was opened from the outside, making a "creak~" sound, and then the figure of the Anseong gambling king was revealed.
"Oh no, are you all at home? Just right, Xiao Xu, come in quickly, my brother and sister-in-law are at home!" Liang Liang said and stepped aside, and a large figure soon appeared outside the house.
Xu Hanzhou!
