Chapter 31: I Have a Dream of Directing
The next day, Lu Jiayi and Wang Xiaobai went to meet the director.
Murong Bing gave the location, and they just went over to see the director directly.
Soon, when they arrived at the place, Murong Bing had already notified the waiter and took them directly into a large box.
I saw Murong Bing in the box, he was chatting with a middle-aged bald man.
As soon as he saw Wang Xiaobai, Murong Bing immediately stood up and greeted him warmly: "Came?" a little earlier than I thought. Director Wang, let me introduce, this is what I said about Wang Xiaobai, a very potential new star among superstar trainees. As she spoke, she beckoned Murong Bing again and said, "Xiaobai, come here, this is Director Wang Chaoyun." ”
"Director Wang, good. ”
Wang Xiaobai said.
Wang Chaoyun stretched out his hand to him, the two shook hands, Wang Chaoyun said: "I have long heard that Miss Murong is full of praise for you, not bad, this temperament, this image...... Uh, yes, it's the same as the male protagonist I imagined. ”
Please, don't pause until you lie next time, okay?
Wang Xiaobai smiled awkwardly, and Wang Chaoyun also felt that he was not pausing for a moment, so he smiled and said, "He is indeed a very talented young man." ”
"Have you heard my songs?"
Wang Xiaobai subconsciously replied.
“……”
Wang Chaoyun was stunned for a while, and then smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I've heard it, haha...... Sit down first. ”
Damn it, old liar!
Wang Xiaobai muttered and sat down directly.
After sitting down, Wang Chaoyun said, "Xiao Wang, Miss Murong has given you the script, have you read it?"
"Well, I watched it all yesterday, and I have a little idea, and I want to communicate with you, the director. Wang Xiaobai thought about it for a long time, but he still felt that the broken script was too bad, and he couldn't help but want to change it.
Wang Chaoyun was stunned again, and glanced at Murong Bing,
However, Yunhai Records, as the largest investor in this drama, wants to use this drama to promote newcomers, and he can't help but give face. Why don't you just give some advice, he just mentions his. What good ideas can a newcomer have?
However, as a director, although the investor is a father, he can't be a filial son all the time, he still has to show his backbone. He didn't agree directly, but gave an ambiguous answer: "It's a good thing that you can have ideas, so let's go back and get your ideas out, I'll call the screenwriter, and the three of us will discuss it together." ”
"Okay, Director Wang. This gave Wang Xiaobai a huge motivation, but he didn't expect Lao Tzu to become a screenwriter.
Subsequently, a group of people ate and drank, not saying a word about the script and the starring role, only talking about some ups and downs, purely embarrassing chats.
After chatting, Wang Chaoyun took out a contract and said, "Xiaobai, this is a contract, you can take it back and take a look at it first, there is no problem, let's find a lawyer to sign the contract." ”
"Okay. ”
Issue?
What's the problem?
As long as the money is in place, I have all the postures you want.
didn't mean anything else, just wanted to express Wang Xiaobai's acting skills.
The contract is all out, and this matter is settled.
However, Wang Xiaobai is still like a dream, and he has become the leading actor of a movie with an investment of 60 million?
"That's it?"
After getting the contract, he looked confused.
"What, what more do you want?" asked Murong Bing with a smile.
"Don't you need to audition? I think everyone needs to audition......
He muttered.
Wang Chaoyun is also embarrassed, you have found the investor's father, and you still say that I am simple?
He sneered: "As soon as I saw you, I thought you were a natural hero." As for the audition, it's just for those ordinary people, and with your talent and ability, there's no problem at all. ”
"Hmm. ”
He nodded, it seems that my awl is finally unable to hide.
Wang Xiaobai left, taking the contract with him.
After the contract is handed over to Lu Jiayi, she will go to the company's legal counsel, and if there is no problem with the contract, she will sign it directly.
He Wang Xiaobai is finally going to appear on the big screen, instead of being forced to play two or three people from beginning to end in the way of a mobile phone screen, and the scene is very simple.
Don't get me wrong, I'm talking about a certain sound, what do you think?
After a group of people dispersed, Murong Bing posted a photo on the Internet, which immediately caused an uproar.
The content of the photo is a group photo of Wang Xiaobai, Wang Chaoyun and Murong Bing, and in a very inconspicuous "small corner" of the photo, a "film contract" was discovered.
Murong Bing's Weibo exploded, and fans began to leave messages for Wang Xiaobai frantically.
"Congratulations to the boss, before he officially debuted, he won the leading actor seat of Director Wang Chaoyun!"
"The boss is the boss, if you don't make a move, it's just a shot, and it's amazing!"
“……”
In the comments full of congratulations, there is always such a group of people with a sour grape mentality.
"Does Wang Xiaobai have acting skills?"
"Alas, predictably, the film was ruined. ”
“……”
Neither side admitted defeat and tore it up on the Internet again.
But none of this has anything to do with Wang Xiaobai, because he is changing the script.
I don't know if I don't change it, I am shocked when I change it.
In a few days, he almost overturned Wang Chaoyun's script.
The day before the superstar trainee started, Wang Xiaobai finally finished changing the script, so he excitedly went to find Wang Chaoyun.
"Director Wang, I have a little comment on the script, can you take a look?" Wang Xiaobai handed over the script and said expectantly.
Wang Chaoyun took the script, and he really didn't want to read it, but who made the family go through the back door of the investor's father? Even if he didn't adopt it, he still had to watch it, and he had to get by on his face.
He opened the script and looked at it, but after reading much, his face changed directly.
Is this a suggestion?
You just say write me a script and forget it!
Want to be a drama bully, want to change the drama casually?
Okay, wait until you get the actor.
He didn't bother to read the script in the back, so he put down the script directly, and said seriously: "Xiaobai, what about you, as the actor of this movie, you should put more energy on how to act, and you shouldn't put the cart before the horse." The script is the screenwriter's business. ”
“……”
Wang Xiaobai was dumbfounded, what does this mean?
Not adopted?
Didn't you say it was good before, but you turned your face in a blink of an eye?
He didn't want the script he had spent so much effort to change to be wasted, so he continued: "Director Wang, why don't you take another look?"
"What are you looking at? Wang Xiaobai's words completely angered Wang Chaoyun, and he slapped the table directly and said loudly: "I tell you, I invite you to be the leading actor purely for the sake of Miss Murong's face, but don't use this face as a face! If you don't want to act, say it as soon as possible, there are more people who are more capable and popular than you!"
Wang Xiaobai also turned the corner, but he didn't get angry, and said, "I'm sorry, Director Wang, I was abrupt." ”
He suddenly changed his attitude, Wang Chaoyun was still a little uncomfortable, and he also felt that he had reacted too much, and wanted to say a few soft words to ease up, after all, it was the investor's father who stuffed it over.
But Wang Xiaobai said: "Director Wang, maybe I'm not suitable to be an actor, forget about this play, let's have a chance to cooperate again." ”
After saying that, he picked up the script and left.
Wang Chaoyun was dumbfounded, this is not acting? I can't stand any grievances, and I still want to mix in the entertainment industry?
He still wanted to persuade a few more words, but he didn't expect Wang Xiaobai to go very resolutely, and Wang Chaoyun's temper also came up.
After he left, a staff member came over and asked, "Director Wang, what happened?
"Heh, a fledgling kid doesn't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and he actually changed my script, who does he think he is?" Wang Chaoyun said angrily.
The staff immediately understood, and was silent for a moment before saying, "What does the investor say?"
"Forget it, I'll make a call myself. ”
Wang Chaoyun shook his head, and then picked up the phone.
……
Wang Xiaobai's refusal to act in this play is not arbitrary, but has his own considerations. From his point of view, Wang Chaoyun's movie called "Youth Without Regrets" is really bad. He didn't want his debut and last film on the screen to be this kind of bad film that would sooner or later be swept into the dustbin.
Just as he was thinking, Murong Bing's phone called.
Murong Bing said, "I heard that you don't plan to act in this play?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Murong, I disappointed you. Wang Xiaobai said apologetically.
"It's nothing, the main thing is that I want to ask you, if you don't act in this play, what other plans do you have?"
Wang Xiaobai thought for a while and said: "Actually, I have a bold idea - I have always had a dream of directing!"
