Chapter 34

Seeing Leng Ying's figure walking away, assistant director Chen Kaifeng came over and said in a low voice: "I think she is still a little reluctant." ”

Fei Mu shook his head: "It's a pity, when she first joined the crew, I thought she was very malleable, and she was quite potential in the newcomers, but she thought too much about it, and she couldn't focus on the movie." Coupled with the things exposed this time, I think it is more difficult for her to integrate into the crew. ”

Chen Kaifeng also had some regrets: "When I agreed to her joining the group, I thought she was talented in acting, but I didn't expect to end up in this situation." ”

Fei Mu listened to Chen Kaifeng's words, took a sip of the herbal tea on his right hand, and then said slowly: "There has always been no shortage of talented people in the entertainment industry, but there are talented people who are willing to work hard. This Leng Ying, I'm not optimistic about her, this time I took over the script of "Undercurrent", I really started to regret it......"

Chen Kaifeng didn't expect Fei Mu to say such a thing, he and Fei Mu are old partners, he has been his deputy, in the past ten years, although he can also independently direct many movies, but once there is a big production, he will still come to help him.

"You mean this movie ......" Chen Kaifeng gestured, Fei Mu glanced at it, and nodded vaguely.

"The script of "Undercurrent" is very well written, I thought I liked it very much at the beginning, and I will take it, I didn't think there was anything when Jiang Wen and Gu Fei were the starring, although the two had not cooperated, but the strength was there, I was not worried, but what I didn't expect was that the crew had just set up, first Jiang Wen had constant scandals, and then Gu Fei actually broke the contract and left the crew.

"After that, another newcomer actually wanted to be the heroine, and at that time I had an ominous premonition, until I came to this point without believing in evil, I had to admit that I was afraid that I would lose to Lao Cai again this time."

As he spoke, Fei Mu's eyes were already tired.

Chen Kaifeng was a little surprised, "Director Cai, that's an independent film, do you think he can compare to you at the box office?" ”

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Fei Mu's lips: "Now that the media compares the two movies together, they have invisibly promoted "Twins", Lao Cai's directing skills, Han Si's screenwriting level, coupled with Xiao Daozhi's amazing box office appeal, and a newcomer with outstanding strength, I have no reason not to regard it as an opponent." ”

"With just one TV series, do you think that newcomer who debuted on the screen is very strong? In fact, in my opinion, Leng Ying's level is already outstanding among newcomers. ”

Hearing his old partner say this, Fei Mu still shook his head: "You know Lao Cai's person, if it weren't for his really good strength, he wouldn't have said that in front of the media, not to mention, even Xiao Daozhi's 'killer' is full of confidence in this Qi Yuzhu, I have no reason to doubt her strength." ”

"The most important thing is ......" Fei Mu paused and asked, "You didn't watch Heaton's promotional video?" ”

Chen Kaifeng was speechless for a moment, he did watch it, it can be said that with Heaton's strong financial resources, how could he forget about Heaton's advertisements at different times of the day?

Thinking of the abstinent and sexy beauty in this advertisement, Chen Kaifeng silently closed his mouth, indeed, he didn't believe that anyone would doubt her acting skills after watching this woman's performance - her unique temperament and excellent expression control were enough for her to rank among the ranks of B-level artists.

Wait a minute...... B-grade?!

Chen Kaifeng couldn't help but gasp, in country Z, the highest level among actresses is only B-level, if you can rank B-level just by virtue of an advertising video, then the potential of this artist is too amazing!

This is equivalent to being directly promoted to a first-line artist before the official film work comes out!

Chen Kaifeng didn't dare to think further, he felt that his worldview was about to be subverted......

………………………………………………

After the crew returned to S City, Director Cai waved his hand and gave everyone a day off, so that everyone could relieve their depressed mood after so many days in the mountains.

Qi Yuzhu received a call from Qi Yulin as soon as she arrived in S City, and it happened that she also planned to ask Qi Yulin to help her sell the jade given to her by the old village chief, so she went directly to Qi Yulin's residence in S City.

"The crew treats the actors so harshly? All thin. Qi Yulin looked at Qi Yuzhu, and a trace of distress flashed in his eyes.

"The conditions in the mountains are like that, of course, not as good as in the market, but I obviously feel like I've gained weight." Qi Yuzhu put the luggage in Qi Yulin's hand, and the whole person lazily nestled into the sofa, and suddenly didn't want to move.

Qi Yulin helped her put her luggage away, and when she saw her expression like a cat, she couldn't help but reach out and rub her hair.

"Next time, don't go to such a remote place to film, there is no signal."

Qi Yuzhu didn't dare to say that he deliberately turned off his mobile phone, so he quickly changed the topic: "When I was filming, I met an old village chief, and he handed me a jade pendant, can you help me see if it can be auctioned?" ”

Saying that, Qi Yuzhu handed the jade pendant to Qi Yulin, Qi Yulin took it and looked at it casually, and said: "The objects in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, but the carving is not outstanding, it is not valuable, and it is not difficult to go to the auction, and the current topaz market is not bad." ”

Qi Yuzhu roughly knew about this market, so he said: "Then you put this jade pendant on the auction, the old village chief has a request, he hopes to make a promotional video of this jade pendant to help him find his daughter-in-law and granddaughter, and the auction money will be used for publicity." ”

Qi Yulin casually put the jade pendant aside, nodded, and agreed, "You like this piece of jade?" ”

Qi Yuzhu shook her head, compared to topaz, she liked jade: "No, I just think this old village chief is not easy." ”

Qi Yulin saw that Qi Yuzhu didn't like it, so he didn't pay attention to this piece of topaz anymore, but asked, "Is the filming still smooth recently?" ”

"It's quite smooth, the people in the crew are all serious about filming, and there is not much intrigue."

"That's because you are isolated from the world, and when you return to S City, you still have to be careful, the tree is very popular, you are now in the limelight more than Gu Fei, Gu Fei is not as simple as it seems, you are in the same crew with her, you still have to be careful." Qi Yulin didn't believe Qi Yuzhu's words and said in a low voice.

"Gu Fei ......" Qi Yuzhu read the name in her mouth, she really didn't know much about this Gu Fei, but Qi Yuzhu also knew that it was impossible to be an absolutely simple person who could mix to this level in the entertainment industry.

In his previous life, Qi Lu had met many such people, who looked innocent or arrogant on the outside, but in fact they were thoughtful, and their appearance was just used as a cover-up. Isn't that the entertainment industry? Whether in or out of the play, all you fight for is acting, and what you grab is the camera.

"I'll pay attention, I heard Xiang Cheng say that there was a celebration party at the top of Heaton today, and you didn't go?" Looking at Qi Yulin's leisurely appearance, Qi Yuzhu still felt a little puzzled.

Qi Yulin sneered, and Yingting's eyebrows showed a trace of helplessness: "The Asia-Pacific market has been reprimanded by countless customers so far, and the major shopping mall branches in country Z continue to be out of stock, I really don't know where that stupid orange came from to have the confidence to hold a celebration, if a reporter asks him about this matter at the celebration......"

Qi Yuzhu remembered Xiang Cheng's nonsensical side, and suddenly he was a little speechless, but he didn't expect Xiang Cheng, who was quite strict and normal at work, to be stupid and cute in life.

Qi Yuzhu was about to ask something, when he heard the mobile phone ringing, because he hadn't turned on the phone for more than half a month, Qi Yuzhu suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing and didn't react.

It was Meng Lu's phone, and after Qi Yuzhu connected it, he heard Meng Lu say hurriedly on the other end: "Yuzhu, ahhh Let me tell you, do you have time now? It's best to come to China TV, there is a big endorsement that you need to talk about in person. ”

Qi Yuzhu could hear that there was a hint of surprise and a hint of dissatisfaction in Meng Lu's voice, and she smiled: "I was indeed abducted and trafficked to the mountains, don't you know?" ”

Meng Lu then remembered that Qi Yuzhu's character Wen Li was abducted and trafficked into the mountains, so the crew went to the mountains to shoot.

"Today, the crew is on holiday, I have time in the afternoon, come over immediately." Qi Yuzhu didn't say much else, and directly told Meng Lu that he would go to Huashi, and hung up the phone.

"Going out again?" Qi Yulin frowned slightly.

Qi Yuzhu nodded, and said as he stood up: "I guess there is something important, I will go to Huashi and I will come back as soon as possible." ”

"Okay, what do you want to eat today, I'll go out and buy it." Qi Yulin didn't ask much, but asked about Qi Yuzhu's dinner.

Qi Yuzhu had already walked to the door, and his voice came from afar: "Anything, since my brother is cooking tonight, I must rush back." ”

Hearing the door being closed, Qi Yulin's heart suddenly swelled with an indescribable sense of loneliness, he thought that this feeling would not be there again since he was sent by his parents to live abroad for a few years.

…………………………………………………………

"Who makes you look like that?" Qi Yuzhu looked at the excited and depressed expression on Meng Lu's face, and couldn't help but laugh a little.

Meng Lu puffed out her cheeks in frustration, and said angrily: "Otherwise, because of you, I wouldn't be like this!" ”

Although she was not in a good mood, Meng Lu still walked to the conference hall with Qi Yuzhu and explained to her: "You also know that this Heaton's endorsement has made you out of the limelight and made a name for yourself in the advertising industry, to be honest, I have received this number of endorsement invitations during this time......

Qi Yuzhu looked at the five fingers stretched out by Meng Lu, and suddenly didn't know whether to laugh or not.

In fact, the entertainment industry does not judge the value of an artist by whose advertising appointments are more, but by the remuneration of the advertisement and the products endorsed.

Although Qi Lu did not have many advertisements at the beginning, the endorsement fee for an advertisement was sky-high, and this is the limelight in country Z.

This time, Qi Yuzhu relied on Heaton's advertising to gain popularity, and it suddenly became a sweet spot in the domestic advertising industry, and countless well-known and unknown businesses have submitted invitations, but Qi Yuzhu knows that this cannot be a standard for measuring the grade of an artist.

Just the positioning of the artist can brush off half of the invitation, just like an artist who takes the pure route cannot endorse spicy strips, and the quality and popularity of the product can also filter out a lot, and the rest must also consider whether the endorsement fee is acceptable.

"The person who came this time is Lisa's chief executive officer of the Asia-Pacific region, and he is here to show that he values you."

Seeing that Meng Lu wanted to speak and stopped, Qi Yuzhu took the initiative to ask, "But what?" ”

Meng Lu hesitated for a moment and then gave it all up: "Heaton's endorsement is negotiated by yourself, according to the contract, the company will not take a cut of your endorsement fee, so I don't know how much the endorsement fee between you and Heaton is, but I guess it will not be less, after all, Brother Qi is a shareholder of Heaton, and he will not treat you badly." ”

"Lisa also took a fancy to your potential this time, and hoped to make you their spokesperson in the Asia-Pacific region, and the endorsement period is three years."

"Originally, as one of the world's top three design companies, Lisa's clothing is also loved by many female stars, and I really have no reason to put my beak in front of this endorsement."

Speaking of this, Meng Lu's expression was a little angry: "But their requirements are too much, for three years of endorsement, they only pay 100,000 yuan a year, and if the sales performance in the first year is not impressive, it will only be 50,000 yuan in the second and third years!" What's more, Lisa also has the right to choose other spokespersons during the endorsement period. ”

Qi Yuzhu knew that Meng Lu hadn't finished speaking, if Lisa was such a contract, Meng Lu wouldn't have called her at all.

Meng Lu calmed down for a moment, and then continued: "But Lisa also said that if you need to attend a formal occasion, they will design a dress tailored for you. That's where I hesitated, Lisa has never designed a dress for a star in country Z, and once you set this precedent, that's good. ”

Qi Yuzhu quietly listened to what Meng Lu said, and the two also walked outside the conference hall, Qi Yuzhu looked at the closed door of the conference hall, and slowly showed a playful smile: "Lulu, do you know?" Some people's faces are really too big, maybe we should let them calm down. ”。
