Beijing, Huai'an Film and Television City.

Huai'an Film and Television City is the largest film and television shooting base near Beijing, and it also has world-class post-production equipment, and many blockbuster movies and popular TV series are filmed and filmed here, so some celebrities often gather here.

The movie Catching the Demon is a fantasy movie, and many scenes need to be produced in the later stage, so there are a lot of plots filmed here, just yesterday afternoon, the employees of the Catch the Demon crew have rushed to Huai'an Film and Television City.

The movie is different from what many people think, it is not shot consecutively, but many shots are pieced together, so even if the actors of the same crew are involved in the production of the same movie, if there is no rivalry, the two may not be able to meet.

The crew of Catching the Demon has not officially started filming yet, and the staff of the crew have to make some preparations, and the actors will also familiarize themselves with the filming environment in advance and get to know the actors who have played rival scenes, so that they will cooperate better during filming and will not be too embarrassing to act.

For example, in a movie, two strange actresses play sisters, they didn't know each other before, and they are not familiar with each other's personalities, if they play sisters on the first day of meeting, it will definitely seem a little unnatural, the best way is that before filming, the two people should familiarize themselves with each other and read the lines of the script in advance, so that when they are officially performed, it will seem much more natural.

No, not far from the studio of the Demon Catching crew, there are two women sitting on chairs chatting, one woman looks to be in her twenties, with a delicate melon seed face, wearing a black long dress, long black hair draped over her shoulders, tall and concave, it was at Chu Chu's invitation that Li Xinyi joined the Demon Catching crew.

As for the other woman, she is also very beautiful, although she is slightly worse than Li Xinyi, but she is more confident in her gestures, this woman's name is Chen Baihe, she is the heroine of the movie Catching Demons, and she is a powerful actress who has acted in several movies with good box office.

Perhaps, seeing this, some people will have questions, and said: "Yes, didn't you just say that the heroine is not as beautiful as Li Xinyi, so why do you still let her be the heroine." ”

In fact, this is a very common situation, if you observe carefully, you will find that in film and television dramas, many supporting actresses are more beautiful than the heroine, as for the reasons are more complicated, either the heroine is a powerful actor, or the heroine has a deep background, or it is a problem with the film and television theme.

For example, if it is a movie made for men, the heroine is naturally beautiful and sexy, but if it is a movie made for women, most of the people who watch the movie are women, then the heroine is usually not particularly beautiful, but will choose girls with average appearance and average figure, but good temperament, why? Because this will make female audiences more immersive! and more willing to watch.

"Sister Chen, let's catch the Demon Crew, is it going to officially start tomorrow?" Li Xinyi looked a little cramped, looked up at Chen Baihe next to her, and asked.

"Tomorrow is just a test shooting, and it's not an official start yet, I heard that the actors haven't been decided yet, so it's estimated that the official start will have to wait. Chen Baihe shook his head slightly and explained.

"Sister Chen, has the actor been chosen?" Li Xinyi asked with a curious look.

"I've heard that there are already candidates, but it doesn't seem to be completely decided. Chen Baihe said.

"Who is the candidate for the leading actor?" asked Li Xinyi.

"It seems to be Wang Mudong. "Chen Bai cooperates as the heroine, and is a powerful actor, has some connections in the film and television industry, and has a very high status in the artist company, and knows a lot of inside information, which is naturally incomparable to Li Xinyi.

"Wow...... It's actually Wang Mudong, he's my idol. Li Xinyi blinked her big delicate eyes and said.

"Are you a fan of his?" asked Chen Baihe.

"yes, don't you think he's handsome?" Li Xinyi smiled.

"Little girl, a man can't just look at his looks, he can't be trusted. Chen Baihe shrugged his shoulders and said in the tone of a passerby.

"Sister Chen, it seems that you are not a few years older than me. Li Xinyi said.

"I'm married and have children, and I've experienced everything I should have experienced, and I'm different from you. Chen Baihe shook her head slightly, she got married early and debuted late, but the star road is very smooth, and her fame is getting bigger and bigger.

"Sister Chen, I have little experience in filming, and if there are things that I will not do well in the future, please take care of me. Li Xinyi said.

"No problem, if there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask me. Chen Baihe happily agreed, she and Li Xinyi are in the same artist company, and she thinks that Li Xinyi's conditions are good, and she has a great chance of becoming popular, so it is not a bad thing to sell personal favors to the other party as soon as possible.

"Thank you, Sister Chen. Li Xinyi showed a grateful look and said.

At this moment, a woman in her thirties walked over, the woman was not tall, very thin, with short yellow hair, and looked very capable, it was Li Xinyi and Chen Baihe's agent, Chen Dongju.

"Sister Dongju, you're here. Li Xinyi hurriedly stood up and said.

Chen Dongju nodded, greeted the two, and said, "Baihe, Xinyi." “

Chen Baihe raised his head slightly, glanced at Chen Dongju, and asked, "Didn't you go out to run errands? Why did you come back so soon?" ”

Chen Dongju is not only Li Xinyi's agent, but also Chen Baihe's agent, but the two of them have completely different attitudes towards Chen Dongju, when Li Xinyi talks to Chen Dongju, there is a hint of flattery, while Chen Baihe is very casual, Chen Dongju came over, she didn't even move.

"Baihe, someone from the crew said just now that the investors of the Demon Capture crew are looking for you. Chen Dongju hurriedly said.

The primary and secondary relationship between agents and celebrities is not immutable, when a star first debuts, he has no connections, no popularity, no experience, and often needs the help of an agent to find an opportunity to film, but it is different after the star becomes famous, the star has his own connections and popularity, and naturally there will be crews and commercial actors coming to the door, and the role of the agent will be weakened a lot, but it has become making money with the star, Chen Dongju is in such a situation.

Li Xinyi just debuted, and many places need Chen Dongju's help, and Chen Baihe has been famous for a long time, with or without Chen Dongju, Chen Dongju plays the role of an assistant more often, but even so, Chen Dongju is also willing, why, because Chen Baihe's worth is high, and the commission she gets is also high.

"What are you looking for me for?" asked Chen Baihe.

"I said that I want to represent the demon catcher investor and want to talk to you. Chen Dongju said.

Chen Bai's identity as the heroine, although it has basically been decided, has not yet fully signed the contract, after hearing Chen Dongju's words, he stood up and said, "Okay, then let's go over and have a look." ”

Chen Dongju nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Li Xinyi on the side, "Xinyi, you can come with you." ”

Chen Baihe frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, and said, "Let's go." ”

After a while, the group of three came to a café not far from the studio, which was a special rest area for actors, but there were not many people at this time, and there was a man sitting in a corner of the café by the window, which was Zhou Qiang, the chairman of Baichuan Company.

Chen Baihe may not know Zhou Qiang, an investor, but Zhou Qiang knows Chen Baihe.

Seeing the three of them coming over, Zhou Qiang stood up, beckoned, and after the three of them walked in, he said with a smile: "It's better to be famous than to meet, Miss Chen, you really have an outstanding temperament." ”

"Hello. Chen Baihe nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Zhou, hello, I am Chen Baihe and Li Xinyi's agent, Chen Dongju. Chen Dongju introduced herself.

"Oh, hello, I'd like to be a little impressed. Zhou Qiang recalled.

"The last time Xinyi filmed Cake Man, I accompanied her. Chen Dongju responded, hurriedly beckoned to Li Xinyi, and said: "Xinyi, I was also hurried to see Mr. Zhou, if it weren't for Mr. Zhou to speak, you wouldn't have been able to enter the Demon Catching crew." ”

"Mr. Zhou, hello. Li Xinyi squeezed out a wry smile, which looked a little unnatural.

"Xinyi, don't be so polite, we can be regarded as acquaintances, when I went back to Shimen two days ago, my mother still remembered you. Zhou Qiang said with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Xinyi was even more embarrassed and said, "Mr. Zhou, don't make fun of me." ”

Chen Baihe looked at Zhou Qiang, glanced at Li Xinyi, and said secretly, no wonder Dong Ju called her, it turned out that she had something to do with this Mr. Zhou.

"Huh. Zhou Qiang chuckled, made a gesture of please, and said, "Three of you, please sit down." ”

"Mr. Zhou, do you have anything to do with me today?" asked Chen Baihe.

"I came to you for two things, the first thing ......" Zhou Qiang said, took out a notebook from his bag, handed it to Chen Baihe next to him, and said: "I hope you can sign me, I am your big fan, and I have watched every one of your movies." ”

"Mr. Zhou, thank you for your support. Chen Baihe showed a smile, don't care if what Zhou Qiang said is true or not, Chen Baihe was very happy to hear it, no one doesn't like to be complimented, Zhou Qiang's sentence I am your fan, which invisibly pulled into the relationship between the two.

After Chen Bai signed his name, he returned the notebook to Zhou Qiang, and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhou, now, you can say the second thing." “

Chen Baihe is also a smart person, and he knows that the so-called first thing is just Zhou Qiang's opening remarks, and the second thing next is the purpose of Zhou Qiang's search for her.

"The second thing is that I am going to talk to you about the filming contract on behalf of the Monster Catcher investor. As he spoke, Zhou Qiang took out a pile of Ziwen from his bag, handed it to Chen Baihe on the other side, and said, "Miss Chen, you can take a look first, if there are any problems, let's discuss them." ”

"Okay. ”

Chen Bai replied, and then, took the handed Wen Jiàn, and began to check the content above, at first his expression was still very indifferent, however, when he saw half of it again, his face suddenly became very ugly, pointed to the Wen Jiàn on the table, and said:

"Mr. Zhou, isn't this clause on the contract too harsh!" (To be continued.) )
