Chapter 356 Ulterior motives
"Don't worry, I've only read two movie scripts. As for other TV series, I'm not going to let you into the group. Xia Ruxing picked up two scripts from the table, one called "Heavenly Road" and the other called "Dumb", both of which are the works of big-name screenwriters in the circle.
With Fang Yixuan's current coffee position, if he keeps putting his energy into TV series, it will only kill fans' good impression of him. Only by stepping onto the big screen can he go to the next level.
Song Yilin curiously picked up the two scripts, and after seeing who directed them, she couldn't help but speak: "It turned out to be the work of Director Ye and Director Zhou, Ruxing, what kind of script is this?"
Xia Ruxing had already read the content of the two scripts, sat opposite them, and said slowly: ""Heavenly Road" is the work of Director Ye, which mainly tells the story of the mountaineering team climbing Mount Everest. Because they have to go to the field to shoot, they have high requirements for the physical fitness of the actors. ”
"This script has also been filmed with documentaries before, and it was also produced by Director Ye's team, and the response on major websites has been very huge. If Yixuan chooses this book, it should be no surprise that he should be able to choose the role of the male protagonist. After all, Director Ye praised you to me before, saying that he admired your acting skills. Xia Ruxing said as she poured herself a glass of water.
Song Yilin also suddenly realized: "I remember, I have watched that documentary, it is indeed very touching." However, if you climb the snow mountain, can Yixuan's body support it? ”
As she spoke, Song Yilin frowned in annoyance.
Fang Yixuan's expression didn't change much, and he asked again: "What about the other "Dumb"?"
Speaking of this script, Xia Ruxing hesitated for a while before saying: "Yixuan, although this drama is Director Zhou's work, but because of the uneven funds and actors, the specific time has not yet been decided. The reason why I brought this script to you is actually because ......"
"The price of the weekly export is too high." Speaking of this, Xia Ruxing had a headache. When she saw the situation of this script at that time, her first reaction was to refuse, but Director Zhou specially called her and said that she liked Fang Yixuan very much, and if he could play the male lead, he would be willing to pay 60 million yuan.
60 million, that is, now she is the wife of the president of the Lu Group, she will not be short of money to spend at all, but she is still shamefully excited.
Hearing the price, Song Yilin's eyes widened slightly: "Director Zhou has no money to make a movie, and he still gives Yixuan so much money?"
Xia Ruxing smiled helplessly: "I have known Director Zhou, he is a strange person." There are many celebrities and big names who are popular under him, but none of them can do it a second time. Director Zhou is also a strict actor in acting, and sometimes in order to get the actor he wants, he can only pay a little more money. ”
But Fang Yixuan is obviously the only one this time. I don't know where Director Zhou is looking at Yixuan, and he is willing to spend so much money.
Fang Yixuan smiled: "Could there be a problem with the script?"
Xia Ruxing hurriedly shook his head and explained: "Speaking of which, the drama "Dumb" is much more promising than "Heavenly Road". It's an adaptation of the fire a few years ago.,The sales of that book at that time.,But it hit the highest level of the year.,The fan base is very huge.。 ”
"Isn't it the one called 'Silent'?" Song Yilin didn't know what to think, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
Xia Ruxing smiled: "That's right, that's it." I heard that the original author of this time, Brother Jiu, also participated in the adaptation, and the plot of the movie is not much different from the original book. ”
Song Yilin couldn't help but be excited: ""Silent" is really good-looking! It's about a mute who can't speak and falls in love with a robber who takes her on the run for her life! I even bought a physical book collection at the time! ”
Seeing Song Yilin's flushed face, Fang Yixuan's eyes darkened, and then without waiting for Xia Ruxing to speak, he suddenly spoke: "Ruxing, then the second one." I think that with Director Zhou's ability, he will soon be able to solve the matter of funds and actors. ”
Xia Ruxing was stunned: "Are you sure you don't think about it anymore?" The salary given by Director Ye is not low. ”
Fang Yixuan nodded without thinking: "Director Ye, please help me refuse." Since Irene, he does something to make her happy.
Song Yilin was really happy, and even hugged him excitedly, and said with a smile: "Later, when I was reading the book, I kept fantasizing that the male protagonist was you!" Unexpectedly, this day actually came true. ”
Fang Yixuan hugged her and said seriously: "I will film seriously and will not let you down."
With his ability, he will definitely not let her down.
On the side, Xia Ruxing saw that he had already decided, so he had to push the script of "Dumb" over and said, "I'll talk to Director Zhou, you go back and familiarize yourself with the script first." But don't worry too much, I'm afraid it will take a few months to get to the funding. ”
Fang Yixuan nodded and took the script.
"You and Irene, clean up tonight, and go out tomorrow to do an advertising campaign. There will be an assistant with you, and you can call me if you have anything. Xia Ruxing continued to explain what to do next.
The two of them are tied up for publicity, and it is not a matter of one or two days.
It's just that the mood is completely different from before, and they don't have to think about any scandals. It's best to let gossip reporters shoot them intimately, so that those CP fans can promote them more.
Thinking of some ambiguous pasts, Song Yilin smiled crookedly, and took Fang Yixuan's hand: "Then you have to take good care of me."
"Of course." Fang Yixuan touched the tips of her hair dotingly.
Seeing this, Xia Ruxing was about to complain that they should not abuse the dog, but the phone on the table rang.
She picked it up and found that it was the front desk calling.
"Mr. Xia, there is an artist who claims to be introduced by Manager Qin and wants to meet you."
The artists introduced by Qin Shi?
Xia Ruxing was confused, why didn't she remember that Qin Shi also had a part-time job as a talent scout.
"I see, you let him come up first." But in the end, it is someone who knows Qin Shi, and it doesn't hurt to meet him.
"Ruxing, then we'll go first." Knowing that she had a job, Fang Yixuan didn't bother.
Xia Ruxing nodded and spoke: "Pay attention to safety on the road."
Seeing the two of them leave, Xia Ruxing put away the script of "Heavenly Road", and soon heard a knock on the door.
"Please come in."
The office door opened, and a tall, unfamiliar figure walked in slowly. A handsome casual suit, an obviously mixed-race face, blue eyes, and a very cold temperament.
Xia Ruxing, as a gold medal agent, naturally has a vision for people. She squinted, quickly sweeping the person from head to toe. Judging from the facial features, it is indeed a piece of material for being an artist. The figure is also good, and it should be able to attract a lot of girlfriend fans.
"Qin Shi introduced it? Let's start by introducing myself. ”
Jiang Cheng took a deep breath lightly and said slowly: "My name is Jiang Cheng, I am the lead singer of the Gen band, and my stage name is SY."
Gen Band ...... Xia Ruxing had heard this name, it seemed to be an underground orchestra, she twisted her eyebrows and thought for a while before she spoke: "What are you looking for me to do?"
Jiang Cheng didn't hesitate and got straight to the point: "Mr. Xia, I want to be your artist."
Xia Ruxing looked straight at him and said lightly: "Our company doesn't accept useless artists, do you have any other talents besides singing?" Can you act? ”
Jiang Cheng's body stiffened: "I haven't studied acting, I graduated from the Conservatory before."
Xia Ruxing squinted and said slowly: "Then why do you think that I will sign you?" If you want to rely on Qin Shi's relationship, then you can go back now. ”
If you want to go through the back door from her, even Lu Shenxiao's relatives are useless.
Seeing her indifferent attitude, Jiang Cheng was a little anxious, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xia, I know that you had an artist before this, and you also transformed from a singer. I believe that I will not be worse than him. ”
He's talking about Lin Jianqiao?
Xia Ruxing raised his eyebrows: "Lin Jianqiao is different from you, he is what I took a fancy to at first sight."
In order to win him down, she had to work a lot. Fortunately, he did not disappoint her and brought huge profits to the company.
Jiang Cheng gritted his teeth, and his deep blue eyes stared at her: "Mr. Xia, as long as you are willing to sign me, let me do anything." He's had enough of singing in bars, and he has to find a way to get out!
Xia Ruxing's expression was unmoved, after so many years, she had already had a pair of vicious eyes. This Jiang Cheng is a good seedling, and it is not impossible to cultivate him. It's just that his purpose is unknown, and she doesn't want to accept another artist with bad intentions.
"Then I ask you, why did you come to work under me as an artist? On your terms, a lot of entertainment companies are willing to sign you. Xia Ruxing asked sharply.
This Jiang Cheng was strange from beginning to end, especially when he approached her through Qin Shi, what exactly did he want to do?
Xu was aware of Xia Ruxing's inquiry, Jiang Cheng frowned: "Xia always suspects me of ulterior motives?"
Xia Ruxing lowered his eyes and said in a flat tone: "It's not that I don't believe you, but your behavior is indeed very strange." Although I am a gold medal agent, there are many people in the circle who are better than me. ”
Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment, and then said for a long time: "A year ago, I saw you in a department store. That's where you take the artist to do a promotional event, and you're doing your best. I thought at that time, if I can be an artist under you, I will definitely be able to become popular. ”
Xia Ruxing has done too many activities this year, and his impression is not too deep, so he can only frown and say, "Then why don't you come to me?"
Speaking of this, Jiang Cheng was even more silent.
After a long time, he said with difficulty: "Can you not tell the reason?"
Xia Ruxing squinted at him and said lightly: "You have something unspeakable, of course you don't have to say it." But in the same way, I won't choose you as my artist, who knows if you made up a random reason to lie to me. ”
"I don't have bad intentions!" Jiang Cheng raised his voice a little angrily.
Why doesn't this woman trust him until now, is he so untrustworthy?
Xia Ruxing glanced over, quite coldly: "Mr. Jiang, you better think clearly and come to me again." I'll give you a week to think about it, and if you're willing to give me a convincing reason then, I'll make you an artist for the company. ”
