Chapter 033: Persuade Ren Dahua
Vertical day.
Ye Jingcheng came to the office early, asked Guan Meiren to pour a cup of coffee for herself, and sat on the chair to enjoy the old man's time, who let this time and space not have too many pastimes.
Before I knew it, it was close to noon, and Ye Jingcheng's office was knocked. Guan Zhilin walked in, the secretary had done a good job, and reported: "Brother Cheng, there are two people who said that you made an appointment with them, one is named Zhang Jianting and the other is Ren Dahua. ”
"Call them in." The reason why Ye Jingcheng came to them was to agree on the choice of the actor.
"Ye Sheng."
"Ye Sheng."
After the two came in, they nodded to Ye Jingcheng and said hello. Especially Ren Dahua, you can feel the slightest excitement in her tone.
"Sit down." Guan Zhilin handed two cups of tea to the two, and then Ye Jingcheng asked, "Do you know what I called you two for?" ”
"Ye Sheng, is there a new play?"
Even if Ye Jingcheng didn't tell him in advance, the two of them could still guess one or two. The reason why Ren Dahua is so excited is because at the last food stall dinner, Ye Jingcheng personally promised him that he would have the opportunity to play the leading role in this movie next.
Ye Jingcheng nodded and said, "Well, I already have arrangements for other roles." The only vacant right now is the male lead, and I decided to choose between the two of you. ”
"Ye Sheng, I have a problem." Zhang Jianting was like a primary school student, raising his hand before speaking.
"You say."
"Can I quit the actor competition?" Zhang Jianting burst out a sentence that neither the other two expected.
"Why do you think this way?" Ye Jingcheng is a little puzzled by this, could it be that Huang Jing scolded too badly in the last play?
"Because I want to develop as a director." Zhang Jianting looked at Ren Dahua and continued: "And I know that filming requires acting skills and talent, and I definitely can't compare to Dahua in these two levels." ”
"You dead boy, I think you've been scolded a lot, you want to try scolding others, right?"
If he hadn't said it so righteously, Ye Jingcheng would have really been shaken by his self-motivation. The reason why he set Zhang Jianting as the protagonist is mainly because his image is more suitable, and he is indeed inferior to Ren Dahua in other aspects.
"Hey, hey." Zhang Jianting was exposed, and he could only echo the smirk.
"Okay, I'm not going to force you." Ye Jingcheng took out a job list, filled in Zhang Jianting's name and position in the vacancy column, and said: "This time, I will give you the name of an assistant director, and then you will learn from A Jingduo." ”
"Thank you Ye Sheng." Zhang Jianting put on a happy face, and it is a happy thing to dare not to ask him to be the leading actor.
Ignoring Zhang Jianting, who was playing monkey, Ye Jingcheng turned his eyes to Ren Dahua and said, "Dahua, now you are the only candidate left, don't tell me that you have no confidence." ”
"Absolute confidence, Ye Sheng." Suddenly, Ren Dahua stood up straight, and almost didn't give him a military salute.
Then, Ye Jingcheng sent away: "Ah Ting, you go to Ah Jing's house to find him now, and see if there is anything you need help with." ”
Zhang Jianting nodded, and then opened the office door. Ren Dahua thought that nothing was wrong with him, and just when he wanted to leave.
"Dahua, you stay for a while, I have some questions to discuss with you." Ye Jingcheng stopped him and motioned for him to sit down.
The reason why Ren Dahua was left behind was mainly a contract problem. Ren Dahua and Green Lantern Entertainment have not officially signed a contract, not that Ren Dahua refuses to sign, but that Ye Jingcheng does not allow him to contract with wireless.
So in the last play, Ye Jingcheng had already reminded Ren Dahua, hoping that he would have a direction to concentrate on development. As for Ren Dahua's contract with wireless, it actually expires in a few months, and Ye Jingcheng's request is for him not to renew it.
After Ren Dahua sat down, Ye Jingcheng dug into his old bottom directly and asked, "Dahua, do you know why you can't get up in wireless red?" ”
"Why else, I'm not pretty enough." Ren Dahua smiled helplessly.
"This is secondary, the main thing is that you are out-of-the-box and assertive, so it is not suitable for routine TV series, and the movie is your best stage."
"My brother means that he wants me to renew my contract with Wireless." Ren Dahua's voice was very low, if it weren't for the quiet environment, Ye Jingcheng would definitely not be able to hear what he said.
Ren Dahua's biggest ideal is not to be a popular star, but to join the police industry like Ren Darong. Unfortunately, it backfired, and a few years ago, he was seriously injured in an accident that prevented him from entering the police force again.
In the past few years, his brother Ren Darong has been using other aspects to help him make up for his regrets, in order not to increase the burden of the other party, Dahua chose to enter the entertainment industry, regardless of what role he is, as long as he has money, he is willing to play.
It has been his dream to be a police officer since he was a child, so he has always admired this brother and will ask the other party's opinion on many things.
"What do you mean? What about you? Ye Jingcheng knocked on the desk with the tip of his pen, and there was a tuk tuk sound.
"I..."
"I don't know how to answer? Then let me say a few questions, do you think it's right? ”
Ye Jingcheng mainly raised three questions, the first point is appearance, Ren Dahua is not handsome, but he is handsome like an uncle, and he is not suitable for being a powdery student in the series.
The second point is self-motivation, although a person's efforts are rewarded, it is just a question of whether the reward is worth it. For example, an iron pestle can be sharpened into a needle, but a wooden pestle can only be sharpened into a toothpick no matter how hard it tries. The former can be used to repair clothes, while the latter can only be used for teeth flossing.
Looking at the classmates who came out of the same training class as him, Zhou Yunfa is already a popular student, and Wu Mengda, who is not good, has several supporting actor roles waiting for him to choose. is the only one who is willing to accept any role, and he is still a dead runner.
The third point is income, Ren Dahua worked hard in "People in the Net" for half a month, and the remuneration received was only 500. In the crew of "Human Meat Roast Shop", his scene was filmed in a few days, and Ye Jingcheng gave him a salary of 3,000 yuan.
"The last point I want you to think clearly, since you are a wireless person, you must know Zhou Runfa. Do you know that he is a young man in wireless, but he can't become popular in a few movies in a row? ”
"The quality of the movie script is a problem, and he himself has not jumped out of the routine of the series." After a lot of reasons, plus Ye Jingcheng gave another example, Ren Dahua had no reason to refuse at all.
Ye Jingcheng didn't want to praise Ren Dahua to say these words, but he wanted to gain a firm foothold in the film industry, and the biggest dependence was not only to have big-name stars, but also a large number of backbone and green leaf actors.
Just like when Golden Harvest dug up Chenglong from Luo Wei, Luo Wei's reputation at that time was not lower than that of Fu Wenhuai, and he even became famous because he became popular Bruce Lee and Chenglong successively.
Helplessly, with the death of Bruce Lee, Golden Harvest also poached the trump card of Chenglong, and since then, Luo Wei's career has fallen into a slump, and in the end, the company can only follow the trend and remake, and there is no creativity of its own at all.
There are no more than two reasons for this result, the first is that Luo Wei's background can't fight the other party, and the second point is that there is no backbone force to replace Chenglong, let alone replacement, that is, there is not even one who can take the banner, resulting in a serious imbalance between the two.
"Your career is your own, all your relatives can give you is opinions, and the decision is still up to you." After speaking, Ye Jingcheng took out a contract, handed it to the other party and said: "You take this contract back, whether you sign it or not will not affect your role in this play." ”
"Ye Sheng, I will go back and think about it seriously, thank you for giving me this opportunity." Ren Dahua stood up, and for a while he really couldn't make up his mind.
Ye Jingcheng did give him a new future, but his family's opinion told him not to take risks. After all, with the decline of Shaw Brothers in the film industry, most people think that it is close to the end.
"Hmm."
Ye Jingcheng waved his hand and motioned for the other party to leave first. He behaved so generously, in fact, he was a gentleman before a villain. Now that there are no artists available under him, even if Ren Dahua does not sign a contract for a while, he will continue to use him for a period of time.
Once Ye Jingcheng has a suitable candidate, if Ren Dahua can't make a choice. I'm sorry, but the purpose of his company is to make money, not to open a charity hall to do good deeds. It is impossible for one's own artists not to praise them, and to praise outsiders.
