Chapter 217: Determining the Role
PS: The previous chapter felt that there was a problem with the writing, and it was modified, so you can re-read it for book friends who have subscribed.
Director Sun attached great importance to the "meeting" with Mai Xiaoyu, and specially asked the assistant to make a phone call, and found a few eighteenth-tier stars to eat, drink and play together, and the two sides completed a cordial and friendly conversation in the pleasant atmosphere of Yingying Yanyan's meat jokes.
Mai Xiaoyu invited him to direct "Pink Girl", a total of 39 episodes, with a single episode salary of 6,000.
Director Sun responded on the spot, and the two sides reached a verbal agreement.
Why don't you make money if you have money?
Some time ago, Sun Yaxing just finished filming a TV series, and because he couldn't find a buyer, he finally threw it in the warehouse.
This has nothing to do with him, anyway, the final payment of the director's salary has been obtained, and it is not his responsibility to broadcast it, and he is idle in the near future.
As for the grievances between Meng Ren and Huanyu, he is now on the side of Meng Ren because Liu Lei dumped him.
The things of men and women in the entertainment industry are like the faces of the doll in June, which change when they say it.
The audience doesn't know at the beginning, and the audience doesn't know when it ends. Often when it is necessary to promote film and television works, it will be taken out to hype.
The love stories of men and women in the circle are not uncommon, and there are many men and women who eat everyone.
In the past, Liu Lei and him caught up with the director of Qingtian Entertainment Tian Ye last winter. Regardless of fame or background, Tian Ye far surpassed Sun Yaxing, and Liu Lei broke up decisively.
This episode is a bit similar to a girl in love, jumping from the back seat of her boyfriend's bicycle and running into the passenger seat of a BMW.
At the beginning of the year, Mai Xiaoyu issued a blocking order, and when Huanyu was blocked, Director Sun also called him specifically and asked him if he was really sure.
He mentioned this matter again at dinner tonight, but Mai Xiaoyu didn't explain too much, only said that he would know until summer.
came out of KTV at night, and the two eighteenth-tier stars who accompanied Mai Xiaoyu wanted to go with him.
The CEO of an entertainment company, ready to shoot a TV series, young and golden, any of which is worthy of having a strong "self-motivated" eighteenth-tier star, will be automatically sent to bed.
Mai Xiaoyu smiled and politely refused.
"Mr. Mai, you won't be bad about this, right?" Director Sun hugged the two eighteenth-tier starlets, and asked with a twinkle in his eyes, "Why don't I arrange two more handsome guys for you?" ”
"Fuck off, don't spoil me." Mai Xiaoyu scolded with a smile, "Don't play too crazy, remember to come to the company tomorrow to negotiate the contract." ”
"Don't worry, how many years have passed like this, I know in my heart."
……
Play and play, do businessSun Yaxing is never ambiguous, it is related to his income.
The next morning, according to the agreed time, Sun Yaxing took the backbone of his team to Mengren Film and Television to discuss the specific details of the contract with Mai Xiaoyu and Liu Xiaoli in the conference room.
After a few days of discussion and deliberation, the two parties signed the contract.
Sun Yaxing serves as the director of "Pink Girl", and the director team is composed of his team and is responsible for forming the crew.
In addition, they bring in advertising sponsorships, and the commission is 30%.
Liu Xiaoli serves as a producer, production director, life producer, financial cashier of the crew and other positions, assigned by Mengren Film and Television.
There's no way, the crew is a small river, there are too many cats in it, and there are really not too many ways to embezzle filming funds, and cute film and television must be guarded against.
"Crazy Stone" is easy to say, most of the crew is cute people's own team, who dares to make small moves, Xi Xiaoxing and Zhang Xiaoquan are the first to not let him go.
The team of "Pink Girl" was built by Sun Yaxing's team.
He has a little friendship with Mai Xiaoyu, and he also knows that Mai Xiaoyu is powerful, but his wealth is moving. Even if he makes a TV series in a proper manner, who can guarantee that others will not have crooked minds?
Fortunately, with Liu Xiaoli, these tedious and trivial things that cannot be ignored are handed over to her to deal with.
Once the directing team has finalized it, the next priority is to select the main actors in the play.
Director Sun is a smart person, and asked directly: "Mr. Mai, let's talk about the role you have set first." ”
"Marriage Maniac" Hai Qing, "Female Man" Liu Tao, "Ha Mei" Wang Chuhan, "Sex Landlord" Huang Bo, "Bai Yutang" Deng Chao, these are all set by Mai Xiaoyu.
"I'll talk about the actor who plays the 'heartthrob' in the past two days, and if the negotiation is done, I will contact the crew to sign a contract with her."
If Su Youpeng has a schedule and can play the male protagonist Prince Charming "Wang Hao", there will be only a few undecided main roles left in "Pink Girl".
Rao is like this, and now the main roles have not yet been determined, and there are only four left: Prince Charming "Wang Hao", "Dabao" who escaped from marriage, Ha Mei's colleague DJ "Romeo", and the biggest villain "Yu Lu".
Mai Xiaoyu identified the six main roles in one go, which helped to reduce the workload of the director's audition and casting.
"'Heartthrob', who are you looking for?" Liu Xiaoli asked curiously.
"Not sure yet. I'll talk to her first, if she agrees, it's definitely a good fit for the role, and if not, it's better to find someone again. Mai Xiaoyu didn't want to mention this topic too much, "Director Sun, don't you read the script?" ”
"Don't be in a hurry to read the script, isn't it all outline and episode outline now, you can arrange the screenwriter to join the group as soon as possible."
Director Sun is talking about common imagination in the circle.
For the crew, both the actors and the money are more important than the script.
Many crews are only looking for actors, and they only have a story outline and an episode outline, and even having 10 episodes of scripts when they start filming is the conscience of the industry.
It's not like many actors who say in an interview, "The reason why I starred in the script moved me" Yunyun, at that time they couldn't see the full script.
You can't really blame the screenwriter for the incomplete script. In order to save money and shorten the shooting cycle, the producer tried to shorten the time as short as possible from project approval to completion, and the screenwriter could only write the script while shooting, which was inevitably shoddy.
However, when he saw Mai Xiaoyu take out the complete script of the 39 episodes of "Pink Girl", he was so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth for a long time.
"All the scripts done?"
"Yes, I don't want to write while filming and affecting the quality of the TV series."
"Awesome." Director Sun gave a thumbs up, "Mr. Mai, don't worry, with the complete script, I promise to find the most suitable actor." In the future, after the start-up, a high-quality TV series will be filmed. ”
"Don't talk about it. You are willing to be a little director, and you never thought about going to the next level? ”
"Heh, hehe."
Of course Sun Yaxing wanted to.
Going to the next level means that his value has increased, and the salary of directing a single episode of TV series has increased, and he can make more money.
But how can reality be so easy?
He has filmed so many TV series, isn't he still the same?
He smiled and dealt with Mai Xiaoyu, and then the two sides got busy.
Director Sun led his own team, on the one hand, to select actors according to the script and find locations; On the other hand, contact the sponsor.
Before the start-up, Liu Xiaoli sat in charge of the cute people, and calculated the time to apply to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for filing.
The TV series project is approved, and a 1,500-word plot outline can be submitted for the record. However, the crew must be turned on within 60 days after the filing, so the filing time must be calculated well and not too early.
And Mai Xiaoyu set out to contact Lin Zhiling and invited her to join the crew of "Pink Girl" and play the heroine heartthrob...... (To be continued.) )
