Chapter Seventy-Seven, Movie Audition! (Chapter 4)
Xu Rui didn't speak, so Su Yi naturally had no reason to continue to tease him.
The atmosphere in the carriage suddenly fell silent, and only soft music could be heard playing in the center console.
After a long time, Su Yi took the initiative to break the short silence.
"By the way, there's a movie that's recruiting auditioners on a small scale, do you want to give it a try?"
"Huh? Let me go to an audition? Xu Rui's mouth opened wide in surprise, he didn't have any experience in participating in film and television dramas before, and now he went to audition for a movie, Su Yi was sure he wasn't joking with himself?
"If you think you can try it, I can recommend it."
Su Yi paused at this point, and said with a shallow smile: "Actually, you don't need to have any psychological baggage, this director is just a young man born in the 80s, and he has not made any famous works before, so the works prepared for this time are only small-cost productions, and the investment is only two or three million."
Wait a minute!
Invest two or three million? Are you sure it's an investment in a theatrical film, not a short film?
With such a small budget, is the cost of actors, venues, props, and crew members, including post-production, really enough?
Although Xu Rui has not participated in the production of movies, he is also a practitioner in the field of television, not to mention two or three million in today's film market, even if two or three million are thrown in, it is useless at all, not to mention making money at this level of production, it is estimated that it is unknown whether it can be released.
"Ahem...... You're not making fun of me, are you? Two or three million can make a theatrical movie? Xu Rui couldn't help but laugh out loud when he said this.
Oh, yes! What are you kidding, don't say it's filming a movie, two or three million recording a variety show is far from it, even if he Xu Rui doesn't understand, but you Su Yi is too ridiculous!
"I don't have that idle heart to smash you." Su Yi snorted angrily. "The director of this movie is called Yang Qing, and he happened to know me, and this is what he told me during your trip to Shanghai.
He also said that his budget for this movie is small, so I hope to use my connections to help him ask if there are any actors who are willing to reduce their salaries, or even not pay in the early stage, and only wait for the artists who will give red envelopes after the film is released. ”
Burst!
It's getting more and more unreliable......
Even if the budget is low, this post-80s director named Yang Qing actually put forward an even more bizarre condition.
'Self-reduced salary', 'or don't get paid in the early stage, just wait for the box office to get a red envelope. ’
What about amusing me?
"I'll call you Sister Su, right? Can you talk well without joking? Xu Rui stretched out his hand to support his forehead and said with a headache.
"It's very simple, first of all, the low-cost production made by this post-80s director may not be able to arouse the audience's response, and secondly, once the General Administration of review is cut, then that means that all my previous filming is in vain."
Su Yi also nodded in agreement when he heard this.
Indeed, the two points that Xu Rui considered are very reasonable, and no one can guarantee that a young director can make a lot of money after his first theatrical work is released.
And according to the current market environment, if a small-budget movie plays well and makes some money, it seems that there is only Ning Hao alone, this Yang Qing...... Even she, who is a friend, doesn't jump to conclusions before everything has begun.
"Then according to your opinion, this opportunity is not needed?" Su Yi asked again, of course, the reason why she asked again was not because of the brokerage fee of a movie, but simply because she thought that it was necessary for Xu Rui to try to transform in the near future.
"Hmm......" Xu Rui pondered for a moment, wanting to say no, but he still couldn't bear the curiosity that he could be on the big screen, "Do you know the name of this movie?" ”
Su Yi nodded and said, "I know." The name of this movie is "Nightclub".
"Night Club" ...... "Night Club"?
The more Xu Rui thought about it, the more familiar he felt, and from time to time he would recall the memory fragments about his past life in his mind, and with the connection and patchwork of various memory fragments, gradually, the general story and complete cast of the original "Night Club" also automatically appeared in Xu Rui's head.
It turned out to be the small-budget production movie "Nightclub" starring Xu Zheng, Li Xiaolu, Qiao Renliang, and Zhang Jiayi.
No wonder it feels so familiar when you hear this name!
This movie Xu Rui had seen in the cinema in his previous life, as Su Yi just said, it is a small-budget comedy movie with an investment of two or three million.
Of course, when he watched this movie in the cinema, he didn't pay too much attention to the name director Yang Qing, after all, there are so many Chinese film directors, except for a few well-known people, I believe that the vast majority of people who watch movies will not pay too much attention to this aspect.
Subconsciously recalled the box office and word-of-mouth of the movie "Night Club", it seems that in his impression, this is still a small-budget masterpiece with a double harvest of box office and word-of-mouth, according to the media broadcast afterwards, the movie "Night Club" has even been nominated for some awards.
Thinking of this, Xu Rui, who was originally a little lacking in interest, came to his senses for a while, and hurriedly looked at Su Yi and asked, "Since you know that Director Yang Qing, do you know which actors have been selected now?" ”
"Hmm...... Let me think. Su Yibei bit her lower lip lightly, her brows furrowed, as if she was recalling the previous conversation with Yang Qing.
He seems to have mentioned it, saying that the actors who have now been confirmed to play are Xu Zheng and Li Xiaolu, but I don't know if they have lowered their salaries, maybe too. Otherwise, where can you invest so much? ”
Really!
It's really the movie "Night Club" in Xu Rui's impression, but since it's this movie, it doesn't matter if you drop your salary, or wait for the film to participate in the sharing or red envelopes.
Because this film is also a work that has attracted widespread attention from the public, such as "a work of conscience with a small budget", "the benchmark of smart comedy" and other titles have been reported by the media along with the name of the film at the same time, and it can definitely be called one of the typical works with small investment and high returns.
Clap! Be sure to shoot!
Don't say that it is a self-lowering salary, now that there is such a good opportunity, even if you don't need money, Xu Rui has to participate in the main creative team.
Not only to be an actor, but also to lay the most solid foundation for his near future.
"Hmm...... That's good. Sister Su, you and that director Yang Qing recommended me, I'll go audition, anyway, this is also an opportunity to be on the big screen, if you can, of course you need to grasp it. Xu Rui touched his nose, put away his slightly contemptuous look before, and said very solemnly.
