Chapter IV: Negotiations

"Hello Mr. Li, this is Tang An. ”

In the private room of the hotel, Xu Jingfei introduced.

Tang An met the target this time, Li Xiaowan and 17-year-old Yang Mi, and her agent Xu Ruoyun.

"Hello Mr. Li!" Tang An bent down slightly and stretched out his right hand to Li Xiaowan.

"Hello Mr. Tang!" Li Xiaowan nodded, reaching out to shake him.

Tang An's heart sank, Li Xiaowan didn't call him Director Tang, it seemed that he still didn't believe in himself.

However, on the surface, Tang An still smiled, turned his head and nodded at Yang Mi and Xu Ruoyun.

Yang Mi, who is 17 years old this year, still looks like a young and beautiful girl, especially a cartoon T-shirt and slim jeans.

Seeing Tang An looking at her, Yang Mi hurriedly nodded embarrassedly, a little restrained.

Such a young director! Yang Mi, who was called up early in the morning, only had this one thought in his heart at this time.

Tang An's gaze did not stay on the two girls for long, even though it was Yang Mi, an unattainable existence for him in his previous life.

In fact, even Xu Ruoyun's status in the circle is higher than that of him, a third-rate director, I don't know how much.

Tang An turned his head to look at Li Xiaowan, "Mr. Li, I think you also know my intention, I very sincerely invite Yang Mi to play the heroine of this movie!"

In business, playing the emotional card and talking about ideals is of no use to Li Xiaowan, who has risen from the bottom and has been up and down in the entertainment industry for more than ten years.

"This Lao Xu told me, your script is a one-man show for the heroine?" Li Xiaowan nodded slightly.

Tang An took out a script from his bag and handed it over, "This is the script, please take a look at it!"

"Hmm!" Li Xiaowan took the script, and saw that the title on the cover obviously paused for a second, but she had seen all the strange names, and she was not surprised, so she continued to read it.

When Li Xiaowan read the script, Tang An also added on the side, "Mr. Li, except for the heroine, the other actors in this play add up to less than ten minutes, if Yang Mi plays it, it will definitely be very outstanding!"

Although Rong Xinda is not a top big company in the entertainment industry, it can be regarded as the number one shooting.

As Rong Xinda's boss, Li Xiaowan would not have come to see Tang An, a "director" with independent directing experience.

However, Li Xiaowan still wants to give Xu Jingyan a face, after all, in front of a media giant like Huayi who has an official background and owns a TV station, Rong Xin Xinda is not enough.

Seven or eight minutes passed, and Li Xiaowan finished reading this not thick script in its entirety.

I thought it was the same as usual, and it was the kind of so-called literary film that moaned without disease. But looking at it, Li Xiaowan gradually became interested.

Let's not talk about how the movie was made, the heroine's one-man show alone is a huge qualification, and it is also a very good experience.

Li Xiaowan had an idea in her heart, she closed the script and didn't return it, just put it in front of herself.

"The script is not bad, but I have some questions I want to ask Mr. Tang!"

"Mr. Li just ask!"

"Does Mr. Tang have any experience directing independently? film or TV series?"

"No, but I have served as an assistant director in multiple crews, and this is my first time directing independently!" Tang An said frankly, this kind of thing can't be deceived, but it's not easy for her to check if she says that the assistant director, after all, there are so many film and television dramas filmed in the country a year, and some small companies haven't even heard of it, unless they go to radio and television to check.

Xu Jingyu, who had never spoken, also said loudly, "Mr. Li, don't worry, he just served as an assistant director in my movie, and nearly a quarter of the shots were shot by him, and his professional ability is absolutely trustworthy!"

Li Xiaowan nodded and continued, "What about the shooting funds?"

"Please rest assured that Mr. Li will not start this project rashly without funds!" Tang An said confidently.

Li Xiaowan glanced at Xu Jinglei, nodded and stopped asking about the details of the funds, after all, this is privacy.

"When are you going to start filming, where are you going to shoot, and how long is the cycle......" Li Xiaowan asked five or six questions in a row.

Tang Anxin was determined, knowing that this matter was stable nine times out of ten, he forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "I am already preparing for the crew, the filming location is in Xiangshan, not far from Hengdian, Mr. Li can come to guide at any time, and the filming time is about a month!"

"What time is it, Yang Mi will start filming "The Condor Heroes" in early July!"

Li Xiaowan asked this to agree to take over the role.

As soon as Tang An heard that there was a play, he hurriedly said, "I need half a month to prepare the crew and the location, and the filming will start in early May at the latest, when the weather will start to warm up, and it will not conflict with "The Condor Heroes". ”

In two months, even if the shooting didn't go well, it would be completed before July, Li Xiaowan nodded immediately.

"Then let's talk about the salary, the heroine's one-man show, what does Mr. Tang think of 20,000 yuan!" Li Xiaowan said a number first.

20,000 yuan, if it is all given to Yang Mi, then he will only have 10,000 yuan left to make a movie, Tang An can't agree no matter what.

This is still 17 years old, Yang Mi who has no fame, if you don't change the script, according to the original version, find a mature woman who is beautiful, temperamental, beary, thin waist, and long legs, even if she is not famous, so many years of seniority are there, but it is not 20,000 yuan that can be won.

"Mr. Li, isn't 20,000 yuan a bit too high!" Tang An pondered his tone and said sincerely.

"Yang Mi hasn't starred in a movie yet, I only signed a one-month schedule, and the filming of this drama will also improve her acting skills. ”

"Let me correct you, Yang Mi already starred in a movie last year. Li Xiaowan said with a straight face.

"It's just a TV movie!" Tang An retorted.

Li Xiaowan didn't expect Tang An to investigate so clearly, thought for a while and said, "Then how much does Mr. Tang think is appropriate?"

Tang An groaned and quoted a number, "3,000 yuan is very reasonable for a newcomer." ”

"That's it, Mr. Tang, let's not come and go, for the sake of Lao Xu's face, I'll make a fold and take a whole number, 10,000 yuan!" Li Xiaowan shook her head and said.

Tang An looked at Yang Mi, who was looking curious and expectant on the opposite side, and Xu Ruoyun, who was wearing light makeup and was also full of curiosity, and nodded happily.

"That's 10,000, happy cooperation. ”

"Happy cooperation!

After signing the contract, Tang An shook hands with the three of them very formally.

Tang An put away the contract on the table, "Mr. Li, I still have to be busy preparing for the crew, so I'll leave first." ”

"Director Tang, please take care of yourself, then Lao Xu, we have time to reunite. ”

Looking at Tang An, who was leaving the box, Li Xiaowan turned her head and told Xu Ruoyun, "What happened to me when you went there?"

Xu Ruoyun thought thoughtfully, "Mr. Li, do you suspect that there is something wrong with him?"

Li Xiaowan shook her head, "This film is just one actress for the heroine, and the others are all tricks, so when he promised a salary of 10,000 yuan just now, he obviously thought about it, and I was a little worried." ”

In the entertainment industry, you can often hear about fake directors who lure actors with their roles.

Although Tang An was introduced by Xu Jingfei, it is always good to have multiple hearts.

"Mr. Li, don't worry, I won't let Mi Mi have anything to do. Xu Ruoyun nodded solemnly, she has also been an agent for several years, and she also knows some dirty things in the entertainment industry.

The conversation between the two made Yang Mi a little nervous, she leaned closer to Xu Ruoyun, and said worriedly, "Sister Ruoyun... ”

"Mi Mi, you don't have to worry, it's unlikely that Xu Jingfei will introduce anyone. Li Xiaowan smiled and signaled her not to worry too much.
