Chapter 545: Pick it up or not
The atmosphere in the office was a little quiet, Lin Chufang, who was sitting on the chair, was silently looking at the book in her hand, and opposite her, Zhou Bai's brows were furrowed, obviously encountering a problem.
There was a rare hesitant expression on Zhou Bai's face, and Lin Chufang, who was peeking at Zhou Bai at the moment, was secretly happy in his heart, let you always make up your own mind, the old lady is giving you a problem now, this feels really cool.
After a long while, Zhou Bai put down the script in his hand, raised his head, looked at the opposite side and said angrily: "Okay, don't laugh, don't think that I don't know you're laughing if you hold a book to cover your face, don't forget what I'm doing." ”
"How do you know I'm laughing? Lin Chufang asked in surprise, holding the book to cover her face, and whatever sound she made just now, Zhou Bai knew that she was laughing, and her tone was extremely affirmative.
"Your body language has betrayed you a long time ago Okay, you are very relaxed when you laugh, although you control yourself well and do not tremble, but it is still easy to find, being an actor is to study people, I am familiar with how body language is when laughing, and it is useless for you to cover your face. Zhou Bai explained that in fact, Lin Chufang just felt that he was hiding it well, but his body language could easily reveal flaws.
"Even if you're amazing, you deserve to be a professional actor, I thought I was pretending to be good. Lin Chufang suddenly realized, and couldn't help but be stunned in her heart, is the actor's observation power so powerful.
"Let's get serious, how did this script come about? This kind of co-production male number one should be the meat of the actors over there in Wanwan, how could they let go of this opportunity, I heard that they have an investment, there is no reason why the choice of the actor is not up to them. Zhou Bai put down the script and asked curiously.
"It also depends on who the director they work with, Xingmei invests a large proportion, China Film Co-production is also an investor, and the director himself has an investment company, and Morgan Chen Pictures, which cooperates with the United States, is also responsible for part of the funds, and the right to speak in the choice of actors is in the hands of the director. Lin Chufang shrugged his shoulders and said.
"It's not that I haven't recommended actors over there, but I heard that the audition didn't work well, and for the sake of this actor candidate, there was a lot of trouble, which made the director angry, and it was the director's wife who came forward to appease him, this time it was Xingmei's Tan Dong who proposed to invite you to play this role, and both the United States and the director agreed, so it stopped. ”
Lin Chufang explained the general situation, the capital over there is very powerful, movies have always liked to install their own people, and the important roles in the movies they invested in are basically regarded as forbidden by them, but this time they unexpectedly met the master with a tough attitude and hit a wall.
"I didn't expect there to be so many things inside, I don't have a relationship with Xingmei's Tan Dong, how could he think of me for such a good thing?" Zhou Bai was stunned for a moment, still a little puzzled in his heart, he and that Tan Dong were just a few faces, and there was not much intersection at all, but there were some unpleasant skirmishes in the movie schedule.
"My Uncle Zhou, you don't look at what level you are now, you win the box office championship every year, no one in the mainland except Li Lianjie can compare with you, even if you have a comparison in front of those superstars in Xiangjiang, you look down on yourself too much, do you know that there is a saying outside now, as long as there is a movie you participate in, the copyright alone can sell 20 million more, think about how many people can do this. Lin Chufang rolled her eyes, she didn't treat herself as a super first-line star at all.
Zhou Bai suddenly realized, although this kind of movie may not be so popular at the box office, but Lin Chufang said that he can sell an extra 20 million yuan, which may be exaggerated, but it will not be too far behind, according to Xingmei's shrewdness of Tan Dong, this kind of handwriting in one fell swoop is indeed like his style.
"I remember that you don't have much intersection with Tan Dong, how do you know so much, there's no reason for them to tell you this. Zhou Bai asked another question.
"Of course they didn't take the initiative to tell me, the people over there told me, you know my relationship with that side, anyway, China Film Hepin sits firmly on the Diaoyu Tai, no matter how big the fire is, it can't burn them, of course this wonderful inside story won't hide it from me, their invitation is still through China Film Co-production. Lin Chufang said with a smile.
"I forgot about this layer, I took it for granted, and I thought that the director contacted our agency to send the script over. Zhou Bai smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Just say if you want to take it, the filming period of this movie conflicts with your planned time, you have to make a decision, do you refuse to go over there or next?" Lin Chufang said lightly, and didn't continue to say more about those gossip news with Zhou Bai.
It is common for film projects to have various conflicts and confrontations, especially for films with complex funding sources, it is common to compete for the right to speak, and it is not uncommon for producers and directors, directors and investors, actors and actors, and brokerage companies to compete with each other, which has also led to various legends circulating in the circle.
"To be honest, I still like this book very much, this type of movie has never been made, and I also want to challenge it, but as you said, this conflicts with my plan, and it is difficult for me to choose for a while, what do you think I should choose?" Zhou Bai frowned, very entangled.
"Do you know what I am most helpless about as your nominal agent?" Lin Chufang did not answer Zhou Bai's question, but asked Zhou Bai.
"Too worry-free?" Zhou Bai said weakly.
"Poof, don't worry about you ghost, in order to put out the fire for you, I am a few years older, and my heart is almost the same. Lin Chufang scolded with a smile.
"Then what are you most helpless about?" Zhou Bai smiled embarrassedly, how could a person float in the rivers and lakes without being stabbed, he actually knew that he had not had any trouble because those troubles were dealt with silently by Lin Chufang.
"The most helpless thing about you is that your idea is too right, and often a few cows can't pull it back, it's not that I don't have a disagreement with you, but often in the end it turns out that you are right, which makes me the most helpless, just like "Ambush on All Sides" I let you act, I asked you to take "Wuji" and you didn't take it, but you ran to be your own director and went to Hollywood to make a new movie, and finally proved that my vision is not as good as yours, do you say you can't hit people?" Lin Chufang sighed, mentioning these things and still feeling indignant, the choice that normal people would make Zhou Bai didn't do, but in the end, he was right.
Zhou Bai was stunned, he didn't think of these things at all, and he didn't know how to react after Lin Chufang confided in his heart.
"Didn't you ask my opinion, my opinion is what is there to worry about, if you like this role, then go ahead, anyway, those bad things on the management side have nothing to do with you, and you don't have any investment, anyway, you haven't been to Hollywood, but Chinese song and dance films are not common, and it will be difficult to act after missing once. Lin Chufang didn't bask in his emotions, shook his head and said very simply.
That's right, the script Lin Chufang took is a Chinese song and dance film, and the name of this movie is "If Love"!
