Chapter 31: The Screenwriter
After more than half a month, Mu Heng finally informed Xie Wan that he was going to officially start filming, and at the same time, Xie Wan also received the first salary in his life.
Xie Wan is a pure newcomer, and her salary is not very high, but probably because Mu Heng feels that Xie Wan's conditions are really not good, and there is a son to support, even if the crew's funds are not rich, they still give Xie Wan a very generous salary.
According to 60,000 yuan per episode, there are a total of 45 episodes of "Looking for Pearls", Xie Wan's salary is a total of 2.7 million yuan, and Mu Heng also paid for it, which is already the usual price of a second-tier actor, and it is really not easy for Xie Wan, a newcomer without any popularity, to get such a large amount of manuscript fees.
Before the start of filming, Xie Wan had already received one-third of the salary, and the rest of the salary would be paid in batches.
Although the money is not very much, it can also make Xie Wan live more comfortably in a short period of time, and she also bought a car worth more than 100,000 yuan, she doesn't like any luxury cars, such a means of transportation is enough for her.
The start time is on August 1, but there is still a month before Xie Yang goes to kindergarten.
But fortunately, Xie Yang has no resistance to his mother going out to work now, and just told his mother to come back early to accompany her after work.
Xie Wan naturally agreed with a smile.
In her previous life, she remembered that the filming cycle of "Looking for Pearls" was four months, and then with post-production, the time was quite long. Compared with some TV series that are completed in two or three months, it is very normal for "Pearl Hunting" to get that kind of return in the end.
No one should try to cut corners.
A TV series with a true conscience needs to be carefully crafted.
So do the math, filming will start in August, and it won't be completed until the end of December, and when it can be officially broadcast, it will be in March or April next year, which has to be arranged for broadcast as soon as the production is completed.
Xie Wan remembered that in her previous life, "Looking for Pearls" was broadcast in May next year, and it was obviously not the prime time of the summer, but it set off a great craze.
In this life, I don't know if time will change.
But that's it.
Therefore, if Xie Wan wants to make a name for himself in the entertainment industry, it is estimated that he will have to wait for May next year at the earliest.
She remembered that Shen Fu's movie "Dream Woman" was released in the Chinese New Year, although the box office was not much, but it was barely able to stand in a place in literary films, and Shen Fu received a good evaluation at that time.
Therefore, Xie Wan will be one step later than Shen Fu no matter what.
But she's not scared either.
In this life, she was able to become an actress in "Looking for Pearls", which already represents that everything is different, and her rebirth is her greatest luck.
Shen Fu, don't think about harming her again in this life.
She was going to let Shen Fu fall into the mud ditch.
With such a mood, Xie Wan drove to the set of "Looking for Pearls".
In order to maintain a sense of mystery before, although Mu Heng held a start-up ceremony, he did not let Xie Wan and Lu go away, the purpose was to give people a sense of freshness.
Now Xie Wancai and Lu Manyuan have officially entered the team of "Pearl Hunting".
"Let's have a script discussion meeting this morning, and I've asked the screenwriter to come over, so everyone has to discuss it. Mu Heng was very interested.
To say that the script discussion meeting actually plays a very important role when filming a TV series.
Xie Wan also finally met the screenwriter who is said to be Mu Heng's friend-Blowing with the Wind.
Once Xie Wan's name was blown by the wind was a stage name, but later I learned that this name turned out to be his real name, that is, the surname Sui, and the famous wind blows.
I don't know who gave their children such names.
In his previous life, Xie Wan heard of this screenwriter, who became an instant hit after "Looking for Pearls", and several scripts of the screenwriter after that have received very good results, from TV series to movie scripts.
And the Golden Film Awards held in the year of her death in her previous life, it is said that this first film script blown by the wind is very likely to win the Best Screenplay Award.
But Xie Wan has never seen the true face of this screenwriter.
So now it's finally a chance.
The leading actors are around a large table, Mu Heng sits at the top, his left hand side is the assistant director Li Sheng, and the empty seat on the right hand side should be reserved for the screenwriter.
The starting point of the empty position is Lu Manyuan, and Xie Wan is sitting on the opposite side of Lu Manyuan.
Xie Wan's next is to play several roles in supporting actresses, and the first one is Tang Jing.
"I don't know what kind of person that screenwriter looks like......" Xie Wan heard Tang Jing next to him whisper.
Xie Wan actually always felt that she didn't know how to talk to Tang Jing, if it weren't for her, the heroine of this TV series would definitely be Tang Jing.
So she always felt a little strange when facing Tang Jing.
But now that Tang Jing took the initiative to speak, Xie Wan felt that it would be too strange if she didn't hear it.
So Xie Wan could only smile sideways: "I haven't seen it either, but I should be a very individual person when I hear the name." ”
Blowing with the wind.
The name sounds like it has a special temperament.
She is also really looking forward to meeting the screenwriter.
Tang Jing heard Xie Wan's words and said with a smile: "Yes, I think the other party must also be very individual!"
Xie Wan smiled and didn't say anything more.
She's really not very good at chatting with people, and she's really not good at embarrassing conversations.
However, it didn't take long for the arrival of the screenwriter of "Pearl Hunting" to finally get Xie Wan rid of such a subtle embarrassment.
In fact, when the screenwriter came in, everyone was shocked.
On such a hot day, although it was said that there was air conditioning, the man was wearing a heavy white hooded sweatshirt with no decoration on it, and then a pair of ripped dark blue jeans and a pair of high-cut studded shoes underneath.
It's really not too hot at all!
That's the first thought.
Then because the other party was wearing a cowboy hat in addition to the hat of the hooded sweatshirt, he lowered his head and only saw a white chin.
I can't even tell if the other party is a man or a woman.
Is this a screenwriter?
The screenwriter shouldn't be like this, right?
In everyone's surprise, Mu Heng stood up: "Ah Feng, sit here, you are a little late." ”
He gestured to the empty stool.
Sure enough.
Now I have been certified by the director, such a person who can't tell the difference between men and women, and can't tell the difference between winter and summer...... It's really the screenwriter of their TV series.
Why do you suddenly feel like you have a bright future......
Everyone's hearts felt a very big shock.
