"Of course, it's not all about the lineup and investment, although "Painted Skin" is well-known, but in addition to the male protagonist, the other two heroines are the most brilliant characters, and your second male lead is actually the fourth role. "The Beauty of the Mountains" is similar, this drama is basically centered on her, plus two male protagonists, it is difficult for you to make a breakthrough!" Li Manyuan continued to analyze.

Liu Dong nodded, she was right, after the release of "Painted Skin", the two leading actors Zhou Xun and Zhao Wei attracted the most attention, but Chen Kun became a supporting role, but the weight was a little heavier.

Liu Dong also heard from Li Manyuan's meaning, and the criteria for her current film selection for herself is the main supporting role in a big production.

"There is no actor in a small-budget movie?" Liu Dong thought for a while and asked again.

"Yes!" Li Manyuan nodded dryly.

"What film?" Liu Dong looked at her expectantly.

"The male protagonist of "Blue-faced Beast Yang Zhi" has a great deal of confidence that he can fight for!" Li Manyuan said with a smile.

Well, Liu Dong really hasn't heard of this film, but since it is adapted from "Water Margin", it should be a lot of investment, after all, it is a costume film.

"Let's talk about the specifics!"

"CCTV invested 5 million, adapted from a story of Water Margin, which is a digital movie and will not be released in theaters!"

"Do you still want to take it now?" Li Manyuan said with a rare smile.

......

Is a movie that is not in theaters still called a movie, I thought there was really a male protagonist waiting for me to play, Liu Dong was a little speechless in his heart.

"Forget it, how can anyone watch that kind of TV movie, and it's unreliable to make a costume film for 5 million. Liu Dong shook his head and said.

"Of course some people watched it, otherwise why spend so much money to shoot it, 5 million can buy the TV rights of many movies. And the budget of 5 million is definitely enough!" Li Manyuan said.

"You and I are really still a rookie, the venue, crew salary, costumes and props add up to more than 5 million, not to mention the actors' salaries, group performances, box lunches, accommodation and other expenses!" Liu Dong looked like you don't fool me, he obviously didn't believe it, and thought Li Manyuan was joking, after all, modern action movies like Life and Death Fist cost 10 million.

"You're all right, but there are some exceptions. ”

"Then tell me what an exception is. ”

"This is a film invested by CCTV, digital films do not use film, and all crew employees are contract workers of CCTV, a large number of costumes and props in the CCTV warehouse of various ages, which can be used directly, without spending a penny, as for the venue, Huairou Film and Television Base will not charge too much money from CCTV. The real place where the money is spent is still in the actors' salaries, accommodation, and equipment loss. Li Manyuan explained.

...

Liu Dong was speechless, according to this calculation, it is estimated that 5 million is not needed, and the actors who can shoot TV and movies are not expensive.

"That's it, I'll go back to audition for "Red Cliff", forget about "The King of Kung Fu", but I want to try "Painted Skin"!" Liu Dong thought for a while and said.

"No, you have to go to these four movies, "Red Cliff" and "The King of Kung Fu" may not be chosen, it is good to have a spare choice, but the main focus is still on those two movies!" Li Manyuan shook her head and said.

"It's okay!" Liu Dong nodded, now is not the time for him to pick and choose, maybe all 4 movies will be lost.

"Okay, you get busy first!"

Liu Dong said and took the materials of the four movies and walked out of the office.

As soon as he saw Liu Dong coming out, Xiao He hurriedly came up and asked, "What, what did Sister Manyuan tell you?"

Hey, why are you so shrewd now, Liu Dong glanced at Xiao He in surprise.

"It's nothing, just asked me about the recent situation, and I also helped you say two good words!" Liu Dong smiled.

"Liu Dong, thank you, I will definitely be a qualified assistant in the future!" Xiao He suddenly put away his smile and said solemnly.

This sudden and unscrupulous appearance made Liu Dong a little unaccustomed, he waved his hand stiffly and said, "What's so thankful for this, you've done a good job!"

"I ....."

"Buzz..."

Xiao He wanted to say something, but the mobile phone in Liu Dong's pocket suddenly vibrate, and he remembered that after he got on the plane, he turned it to vibrate and forgot to turn it back.

"I'll answer the phone first, just find a place to rest if there's nothing to do, I've been tired for more than a month!"

Liu Dong walked to the side and connected the phone as he spoke, and it was Wu Jing, who had not been in touch for a long time, who called.

"Hey, Brother Jing!"

......

Looking at Liu Dong who had gone away, Xiao He's expression was a little complicated, and her assistant experience for several months also made her grow a lot, especially the start of the filming of "Xin Shi Shi Niang", Liu Dong became the protagonist of the TV series, the core of the entire crew, which really made her realize what role she was playing.

"Come on, Xiao He, be a qualified superstar assistant!" Xiao He secretly cheered himself up in his heart, and then found a desk and turned on the computer to start writing a summary of his work during this time.

Liu Dong, who came back from answering the phone, saw that she was sitting on the computer and working seriously, shook his head and didn't say anything.

"Zixuan, I'll go out, you talk to Mr. Li!" Liu Dong waved his hand at Lin Zixuan at the front desk and walked out of the company's gate.

"Oh... Okay, Brother Dong!" Lin Zixuan immediately responded obediently.

After getting off the company building, Liu Dong waited for three minutes before stopping a taxi, arriving at the box of a Chinese restaurant in Chaoyang District, and seeing Wu Jing again after a long absence.

Everything is still like yesterday, and after counting it, I realized that it has been a year since I entered this circle.

Liu Dong strode towards Wu Jing, "Brother Jing, long time no see!"

"Dongzi is here!" Hearing the voice, Wu Jing got up and turned around with a bear hug, which made Liu Dong a little uncomfortable.

A pure embrace between men, powerful and deep.

"Come, sit down, we brothers haven't seen each other for more than half a year!" Wu Jing enthusiastically pulled Liu Dong to sit down.

"Yes, I'm too busy, I've filmed 3 dramas in the past six months, and one is about to start. Liu Dong said with emotion.

"You kid is okay now, he has played the leading role in a TV series, and he has also taken over the male number three of a costume blockbuster!" Wu Jing is also often paying attention to Liu Dong's movements, looking at him with a little envy, but more happy for him.

"It's just the male protagonist of the unit drama, except for the two male protagonists in that movie, the other supporting roles are almost the same!" Liu Dong was a little embarrassed, he didn't pay much attention to Wu Jing's situation, after all, he knew his movements in the future.

"Brother Jing, what have you been busy with lately?"

"I'm not as lucky as you, some time ago I took on a small supporting role in "The Mummy 3", played an assassin, and also collaborated with Hong Jinbao and Ren Dahua in a "Winning the Handsome!"" Wu Jing said with some melancholy.

"Congratulations to Brother Jing, "The Mummy 3" is a blockbuster co-produced with Hollywood, and it is a great qualification to be able to play a role in it!"

Liu Dong really didn't expect him to appear in this movie, but there are Chinese stars such as Li Lianjie, Yang Ziqiong, Huang Qiusheng, and Liang Luoshi joining, and many Wu Jing are also normal.

"There's nothing to congratulate, it doesn't add up to five minutes of play, it's just a show. Wu Jing waved his hand a little embarrassed, then remembered something, and said solemnly, "I met Hong Jinbao when I was filming "Winning the Handsome", you should be careful when filming "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor"!"
