Anyway, Lin Xiaoguang has enough confidence in this movie, it doesn't matter if he gets paid now, he can still live the addiction of making movies in person, maybe his participation can attract some fans to watch in the cinema, why not?

Besides, Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng are both producers of "Crazy Stone", and when the movie is released, it will be divided according to the proportion of investment and the market efficiency of the film, and the higher the box office, the more Lin Xiaoguang will get.

So, Lin Xiaoguang went against the norm and directly stated: "You are the director, I am the producer, if you have any requirements, you can just say, as long as I can do it." ”

Looking at the characters in the entire script of "Crazy Stone", Lin Xiaoguang really likes and is more suitable for the character of Mike, a good international thief Mike, high-end atmosphere and grade, everything is not a problem.

Lin Xiaoguang asked him, "What are your requirements for the role of Mike?"

Ning Hao said: "As long as you don't hold it, everything will be on me." ”

Lin Xiaoguang was very happy: "Okay, just do as you say, I will play the international thief Mike." ”

Lin Xiaoguang paused, and then said, "However, I also have a request. ”

Ning Hao asked, "What requirements?"

"Have some wine in the evening!"

Ning Hao thought for a while and nodded heavily: "Yes!"

Xu Zheng went back to the magic capital for something important, and in the evening, Ning Hao made an appointment with Lin Xiaoguang to talk about some ideas about the crew of "Crazy Stone", and the two of them straightened out the relationship between the characters related to him in the play one by one.

That night, the conversation was very strong, and before I knew it, we chatted until late at night, and the bottle of red wine that Lin Xiaoguang brought from home was not a drop bad.

Lin Xiaoguang asked him: "You can't drink, why are you okay after drinking half a bottle?"

Ning Hao said calmly: "It's not that I can't drink, it's that I can't drink it in my mouth." ”

Lin Xiaoguang, who was born as an extra, has no idol baggage, and although he is playing a thief in "Crazy Stone" this time, he is also playing a relatively high-end international thief, at least not a small thief with no technical content.

However, Lin Xiaoguang at this time is not free, as an artist in Huayi's contract, he can make any movie, the problem is that he doesn't charge any salary, so can Huayi Brothers and agent Fei Qi agree?

In addition to investing in the movie "Crazy Stone", Lin Xiaoguang will also play an international thief Mike in the movie, which Fei Qi did not expect.

Fei Qi is an agent who cherishes his artist feathers very much, and he usually doesn't help Lin Xiaoguang to take over the play, but it is indeed out of consideration for the artist's entire acting career, which is not suitable for Lin Xiaoguang's role, and he will definitely not take him back for money.

So Fei Qi was very annoyed this time, and he didn't understand what kind of ecstasy soup that the guy named Ning Hao poured into Lin Xiaoguang to make him so fascinated, and he was actually willing to give a group of actors who were far inferior to him as supporting roles for Ning Hao's movie.

In this regard, Fei Qi was very vigilant and solemnly reminded Lin Xiaoguang: "Xiaoguang, I have checked, that Ning Hao is just an art film director who has made two small-budget films, there is nothing worthy of your unsparing efforts to take advantage of it, what are you trying to do so desperately now?"

Knowing that Fei Qi didn't believe that "Crazy Stone" could make a lot of money, Lin Xiaoguang made a show and told him affectionately: "Brother Qi, I really didn't do anything this time, I just just liked this script, and I dreamed of making a good movie, that's all." ”

Lin Xiaoguang didn't want to make his relationship with Fei Qi so vulgar, causing this situation, the main responsibility was him, and he solemnly promised Fei Qi that he would let him "go crazy" once, and not make an example.

What can Fei Qi do?

Of course, he chose to forgive him.

In other words, today's Huayi is divided into several major studios, each studio is responsible for its own profits and losses, Lin Xiaoguang is an artist under Fei Qi, and he can only discuss with Fei Qi what he decides, without notifying Huayi's senior management.

Fei Qi can't be so chic, his position is directly under the orders of Huang Zhongjun and the two brothers, and any major movements of the artists under him often have to report to Huang Zhongjun or Huang Zhonglei.

In addition to Lin Xiaoguang, Fei Qi also has actors such as Wang Baoqiang and Deng Chao under him, positioning, packaging, selecting, and striving for works for his actors, which are all manifestations of Fei Qi's professionalism as an agent.

Since Wang Jinghua left, Huayi Brokerage and Huayi have also entered the stage of personalized management, and the agent's personality positioning or packaging of the actor will be more prominent.

Huayi's recently prepared "Soldier Assault" is a representative of this stage model.

Fei Qi first got the script of "Soldier Assault" from Feng Xiaotank's wife Xu Fan, and under the joint recommendation of him, Feng Xiaowan and Huang Zhonglei, Wang Baoqiang was able to get the role of "Xu Sanduo".

"Soldier Assault" can be said to be a typical example of the combination of Huayi's brokerage business and TV drama business.

Except for Wang Baoqiang, who has participated in "No Thieves in the World", he can be regarded as a grassroots star, and there are almost no decent stars in "Soldier Assault", and Huayi's idea is to provide opportunities for young actors.

Originally, Huang Zhonglei originally wanted to invest in the crew of "Soldier Assault", but because there were no stars, he ran into walls everywhere, and in the end, the Huayi brothers had to pay for this drama.

After chatting with Fei Qi and Feng Xiaowan about Wang Baoqiang and "Soldier Assault", Huang Zhonglei casually asked Lin Xiaoguang again.

When Huang Zhonglei heard Fei Qi say that Lin Xiaoguang was preparing to participate in "Crazy Stone" recently, Huang Zhonglei jumped to his feet angrily on the spot: "What! Lin Xiaoguang plans to play the role of a thief in that movie?"

"Hmm. Fei Qi nodded.

Huang Zhonglei said angrily: "What's the matter with this kid? I finally made him a star, and now he is mixed with a group of grass platform teams, don't you think you will give us Hua Yi a share?"

Fei Qi hurriedly said: "Brother Lei, actually...... The problem is not so serious, didn't Andy play a thief in Feng Dao's "No Thieves in the World" before?"

"Xiaoguang just loves movies, he wants to make good movies, and he doesn't think about it so much, don't be angry, he is usually very dedicated to filming. ”

Diametrically opposed to Huang Zhonglei's attitude of hating iron and not steel, Feng Xiaowan put on an expression that was not a big deal to see the excitement, and said faintly: "Tip, don't beautify him anymore, in my opinion, this kid just looks down on Huayi's own movies, and Xiaoming was willing to spend 500,000 yuan to buy me a painting, just to show his face in my upcoming filming "Night Banquet", what about him? ”

"It's good now, in order to play a so-called international thief, he is a producer of other people's movies at his own expense, and he is a million dollars as soon as he makes a shot, and he is really generous. ”

Fei Qi showed a look of displeasure and retorted: "Director Feng, you have misunderstood, there is one thing to say, Xiaoguang and Xiaoming are their own brothers, and they can't make a fuss because of a movie role, right?"

Feng Xiaowan looked at Huang Zhonglei and pretended to be dazed: "Zhonglei, is that so? Heh, return your own brother...... How did I hear that when Lin Xiaoguang joined our Huayi, he stepped on Wang Xiaoming to get the drama "The Condor Heroes" from Zhang Jizhong?

Seeing that the atmosphere was a little gunpowdery, Huang Zhonglei patted Feng Xiaotank's shoulder, looked at Fei Qi again, and persuaded softly: "Okay, Xiaotank, tip, don't fight between you two, Lin Xiaoguang will shoot if he wants, I really think that the movie is so easy, and when the movie he invested in loses money, he will honestly come back and continue to make money by making TV series." ”

Since mid-October, the two blockbuster crews of "Night Banquet" and "Full of Golden Armor" have set up a stage one after another, just like the challenge launched by the rising star Feng Xiaowan to Zhang Yi, just like the challenge launched by the rising star Feng Xiaovan to Zhang Yi, just like in full swing.

On the other hand, the city where the low-budget film "Crazy Stone" was filmed was also in the original Guangzhou and Wuhan and other alternative cities, and finally decided to be in Chongqing.

Ning Hao thought about it and felt that there were too many coincidences in the script of "Crazy Stone", and this kind of coincidences could not exist in any city except Chongqing.

After the funds were in place, the start time of "Crazy Stone" was originally scheduled for the 15th of the month, and in the end, due to the temporary change of actors, it was delayed until the 25th.

On the side of Chongqing, the weather is just starting to get colder, but no matter how cold Chongqing is, it is very limited, and it is beginning to snow in some places in the northeast at this time.

In terms of actors' salaries, Wang Bo only got 10,000 yuan, Liu Ye was 20,000 yuan, and Guo Tao, as the leading actor in the drama "Crazy Stone", was only 80,000 to 100,000 yuan.

As for Lin Xiaoguang and Xu Zheng, they starred with zero pay.

In fact, for actors, making movies in this era is still a very respected thing, and they can ask for less for the sake of art, while the salary of TV series is often higher.

Ps. plus one chapter, two more chapters are owed.
