Chapter 394: Idol Drama

Xu Jinglei came to Haomeng Company, handed over her passport to the logistics department, and Haomeng Company went to apply for a visa abroad. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Then, she went into an office, took a cup from the cabinet, and fetched herself a cup from the water dispenser.

She placed the water glass on the table, sat casually on the sofa next to the table, took a book from her backpack, and flipped through it.

Xu Jinglei signed a contract with Good Dream Company after graduation, and has been here many times, so she is very familiar with it.

As an actor, her time is very relaxed, she doesn't have to come to the company every day, most of the time is filmed on the set, or filming commercials, participating in some showbiz activities, etc.

Although Good Dream Company has not yet equipped her with a separate agent, it can help her solve daily chores.

The sequel to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been filmed, and she has also taken over the commercials of two famous cosmetics brands in the middle, and there is a TV series of "Love to the End" to be filmed.

This year, Xu Jinglei's schedule was very full, and her salary also increased a lot.

From the initial filming of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" for 800 yuan per episode to the current 5,000 yuan per episode, she is already a second-tier star.

This kind of start is much higher than her classmates, with filming and advertising, she has earned more than 100,000 yuan in the past two years, got rid of food and clothing, and moved towards a well-off, at least there is no problem in supporting herself.

At present, Good Dream Company and Art Center co-produce two TV series, one is "Latent" and the other is "Carry Love to the End".

Xu Jinglei has read both of these books, obviously "Latent" is more profound and excellent, "Carry on Love to the End" is an urban emotional drama, but with the addition of youth and inspirational elements.

It can be said that ten years later, the audience will still remember "Latent", but they will not necessarily remember "Carry on Love to the End".

It can be judged from Lin Zixuan's attitude towards the two plays.

The actors of "Latent" were auditioned and selected by Lin Zixuan himself, all of whom are veteran actors with several years of acting experience, and "Carry on Love to the End" is relatively random in the selection of actors.

Except for her, the heroine, who was designated by Lin Zixuan, most of the other actors were directly found from art academies.

For example, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun in the first year of Beijing Film Academy, Liu Ye, Qin Hailu and Yuan Quan in the first year of Beijing Drama Academy.

These guys have just taken a year of acting courses, and they can only be said to be better than those who don't have the slightest acting experience, and it is predictable how much trouble they will encounter in the actual filming process.

According to Lin Zixuan, "Carry on Love to the End" is a youth idol drama, which is to find some fresh faces.

It doesn't require high acting skills, as long as you can be cool to the camera.

This drama focuses on the youth market, and teenagers are more willing to watch a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, which is the charm of idol dramas.

Lin Zixuan wants to use this TV series to create a group of idols for young domestic audiences.

Moreover, the salaries of these actors who are still in school are extremely low, and the salary of 1,000 yuan per episode is enough to make them happy, or they can have filming in their first year of college, and they are willing to pay no money.

Lin Zixuan would not be so harsh, and still gave a fair price.

Doing so can save production costs, and the length of twenty episodes is enough to invest more than two million.

"You are responsible for the acting in this play, and they are responsible for other aspects, so you can just take them with you. Lin Zixuan explained.

This sentence hurt Xu Jinglei very much, she only has acting skills, and she said that she was a good combination of handsome men and women, but it didn't mean me.

Lin Zixuan didn't find out that there was a problem with what he said, he was afraid of comparison of everything, with Xu Jinglei's current acting skills, it was enough to crush those first-year college freshmen.

After watching "Carry on Love to the End", the audience will find that the actress named Xu Jinglei has good acting skills.

Anyway, it's an idol drama, Lin Zixuan really didn't put too much thought into it, he cared more about "Latent".

Xu Jinglei heard that the heroine of "Latent" was decided, and she was a drama actor from the air government, neither from the Good Dream Company nor from the Art Center.

She pondered the role of Wang Cuiping and tried it, but she didn't feel very easy to play.

Xu Jinglei doesn't want to play the heroine of "Latent", she just wants to know where her gap is, and with the cooperation with Chen Daoming and other excellent actors, she can feel her shortcomings.

If there is a gap, you have to find a way to make up for it, and your acting skills are constantly honed.

After a while, Yu Feihong also came and chatted with Xu Jinglei.

The company does not have an office for every actor, this is the actor's lounge, usually no one, only when the actor has a meeting on the lines or the crew has something to do, it will become lively.

"Do you know what's going on?" asked Yu Feihong.

Yu Feihong filmed "Latent" in the second half of the year, in which she played Zuo Lan, an underground party member who did not have many scenes, and many film and television companies asked her to film, most of which were costume dramas.

This is related to the popularity of her ancient costumes with the audience, but she is not very willing to repeat herself, and prefers to take on modern dramas.

"I don't know, it should be related to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Mr. Lin asked me about my opinion on the role of Jade Jiaolong two days ago. Xu Jinglei guessed.

They both graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and Yu Feihong also worked as Xu Jinglei's teacher, and the two are not the same on the acting road.

Yu Feihong is good at playing the role of intellectual atmosphere, and Xu Jinglei takes the ordinary route and is suitable for playing ordinary people in life.

Of course, a good actor will not be simply defined, and the acting path will often be very wide.

can play both good guys and villains, comedy and tragedy, so that he is an excellent actor.

The two were chatting when Lin Zixuan and Chen Daoming walked in.

In September, the crew of "Spring in a Small Town" will go to Venice to participate in the film festival, and Lin Zixuan is talking about what will happen after the film festival.

"Let's fly from Venice to the United States and meet Li Yu. Lin Zixuan explained, "I found someone to contact Li Yu, and he promised to meet with us to discuss the matter of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". ”

The person Lin Zixuan is looking for is Chen Jing, who is filming "Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".

Chen Jing is also mixed with Hollywood, it is not difficult to find a Hollywood friend to contact Li Huan, Lin Zixuan and Li Jian talked a few words on the phone and agreed on an approximate meeting time.

There are many things that are not clear on the phone, and only in person can they be honest enough.

"Hollywood's Li Yu?" Yu Feihong said in surprise.

Yu Feihong has made movies in the United States and spent two years in Los Angeles, so he is no stranger to Chinese filmmakers, and Li Yu is the best Chinese director in it.

This is the first time she heard that she is going to find Li Yu to shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", so it will be a big production.

"That's right, it's just that the communication hasn't been very smooth so far. Lin Zixuan explained, "The main reason why we went to the United States this time was to persuade Li Yu to come to film this drama and have an in-depth chat with him." (To be continued.) )
