Chapter 584: What to do without an actor
Director Mu Mu, no, now he should call Mu Mu, the logistics captain of the crew, nodded hurriedly, and took the script handed over by Huang Li.
After just one glance, he was not calm.
"Mr. Bai...... , you, you, you...... You're not kidding, are you?"
"Do you think I'm joking?"
"No, no, no...... I didn't mean that, I mean...... This, this, this...... No one in this country has ever made a military-themed Chinese New Year film, no...... It should be said that there were, but they all hit the streets, practice has proved that no one likes to watch this kind of film during the Chinese New Year, Mr. Bai, or ...... Another one?"
"You're the director, I'm the director?"
Bai Feng said a word, Mu Mu was speechless, and then scolded him again.
"Don't talk nonsense, I didn't let you read the script, I only asked you to help me screen some actors according to the character plot, can you do it?"
"Yes, yes, absolutely, Mr. Bai, it's not bragging, I'm familiar with all the artists in the world entertainment industry, I'll watch ...... right away"
Mu Mugan smiled and hurriedly read the script, and after about half an hour, he pinched his chin and connected the projector to the notebook, and then opened an encrypted work document.
A photograph was projected towards the screen.
"Mr. Bai, the actor of your film is a tough guy with feelings and flesh and blood, so there are relatively few candidates, take a look at these three......"
A photo and introduction of the actor appeared on the screen.
"The first suitable candidate is Applejack, but their brokerage offers are more expensive......"
"How expensive?"
"This Applejack charges by the day, even sleeping at night, going to the toilet, and eating are counted as money, and the current market price is 1 million a day......
"30 million a month? I'll shoot for three months, that's less than 100 million, it's okay, by the way, if I come out for an interview, do you think it can be cheaper?"
Mu Mu pursed his lips and muttered.
"You go and talk about an estimated 1000 million ......"
"What?"
"Uh...... Nothing, I mean...... It's not cost-effective to pay such a big price, so it's better to consider other candidates......"
"Okay, you go ahead. ”
Mu Mu stuck out his tongue and hurriedly introduced the second one.
"The second is martial arts star Chen Biao, who now asks him for about 50 million, but I met him a few days ago, saying that he just took a new play and went to Eagle Country. Why don't we take a look at the third one? This is also an action star, and it's cheap, as long as 10 million. ”
Bai Feng looked at the third person and shook his head helplessly, although the other party is a martial arts star, but TMD's face is fierce, and it is okay to play a villain.
"Anyone else?"
"Yes, there are many more, but none of them are too red, look at these five...... These five are all iron-blooded real men, and the cost is cheap. ”
Bai Feng looked at the photos of the five stars, felt that the temperament was okay, and nodded.
"Then for the time being, there will be five of them, and there will be a female number one. ”
Mu Mu recommended three more actresses.
In the end, it was agreed that the play would be auditioned three days later, and if it was suitable, the salary would be discussed.
On the third day, at the appointed time, Mu Mu entered Bai Feng's office with a sad face......
"Why do you have such an expression?"
Bai Feng stopped what he was doing, looked up and asked, Mu Mu raised the phone in his hand, and shook his head helplessly.
"There is no schedule......"
Bai Feng looked at him with dodging eyes, frowned, and asked.
"Honestly, what the hell is going on?"
Seeing that Bai Feng was furious, Mu Mu immediately made a wit.
"He, he, he...... None of them were willing to take ......."
"Why?
"No, they said...... We haven't made a movie, we don't have a good crew, and we ...... And ......"
"And what?"
"And...... They also said...... Say that our film is a bad movie...... Mr. Bai, in fact, I also think that it is ...... to shoot military themes during the New Year."
Speaking of this, he saw that Bai Feng's eyes were a little murderous, and he immediately shut up and didn't dare to continue.
Bai Feng sighed, his fingers tapping lightly on the table......
Half an hour later, Mu Mu made a few more phone calls in front of her, but the result was still the same, and in the end she could only give up tragically.
In the end, I can only pin my hope on the flickering kung fu.
He took out his phone and dialed Aaron's number.
"Hey, Brother Long, hehe, I'm Baifeng......"
The other end of the phone seemed to be sleeping, and he was weak to speak, Bai Feng repeated it again, and the other party spoke.
"It's Mr. Bai, hehe, why are you looking for me so early?"
"Early?"
Bai Feng was stunned for a moment, and the other party was also stunned, and then he heard Brother Long speak with a smile.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I'm abroad, it's not dawn here, what's wrong Mr. Bai?
"Oh, that's right, I'm going to invest in a drama, military-themed one, I still think you're suitable after looking around, don't worry, it's definitely a big-budget Chinese New Year movie!"
"What? Military-themed New Year's movies? Hehe, Mr. Bai, this time you can go, you have seen that year's New Year's Eve movies with military themes, and only comedy is a big hit during the New Year. ”
"Brother Long, help, my side has the funds and crew in place, and it's up to you as the best actor!"
Somehow, there was silence on the phone for a moment, and it seemed that Suo Suo was getting dressed.
"Brother Long?"
"Brother Long, are you listening? Don't worry, money is not a problem, I only want you to have a two-month schedule, 100 million! 100 million salary!"
"I'm listening, it's not about money. Well...... , I'll think about it, I should be free, by the way, who is the director?"
"The director is me......"
Honk...... Honk...... Honk......
The phone was hung up directly, and when I called again, no one answered the phone.
Bai Fengqi's teeth were crushed.
Helpless, sighing, she began to look through the phone number again, and finally found another more suitable one.
"Hey, Brother Jie, hehe, I'm Bai Feng...... Yes, yes, yes, it's still filming, this time it's my investment ......"
This time, Bai Feng learned to be obedient and didn't dare to say that he was a director.
There seemed to be some impatience on the other end of the line.
Afraid that he would hang up the phone, Bai Feng hurriedly said.
"Brother Jie, this drama is tailor-made for you, absolutely iron-blooded real man, you can rest assured that the salary is as much as it should be, and not a penny will be less than you. ”
"Let me ask, are you planning to play this play on the Spring Festival?"
"yes......"
"It's the New Year in three months, and you tell me to make a New Year's movie?
Honk...... Honk...... Honk......
The phone hung up again, and Bai Feng was already eating the phone angrily.
In the end, I can only settle for the next best thing and find second-tier stars.
"Hey, Ah Kun, my sister has invested in a Chinese New Year blockbuster here, yes, yes, tens of billions of investments, just one male lead actor is missing......"
"Sister Bai, I can't leave, I went to Antarctica last month to protect the cute little penguins, and I haven't gone back yet......"
"No kidding, I ran into you last month......"
"Sister Bai, I'm really not joking, I don't believe you, listen to the pitiful cry of the penguin......"
Bai Feng was stunned, and said in his heart, did this product really go to Antarctica?
As a result, I heard a ...... on the phone Call......
"Meow...... Meow ...... Meow ......"
Bai Feng instantly felt that this thing pressed his IQ on the ground and rubbed it......
