Chapter 488: Vanity Fair
In the makeshift shed, Ren Yong, Director Qian, Zhou Zhe and Xin Chai sat together, and the martial arts instructor packed up and prepared to go to Xi'an for dinner together.
"Mr. Zhou, as you know, our crew has limited funds, what about your lover! Although it is a piece of jade, it takes a lot of effort to make a jade. In addition, whether I can act well or not, I also have to take risks, here is the contract, you can take a look. Ren Yong took out the contract somewhat businessfully and signed it, which is equivalent to Xin Chai joining Ren Yong's company, and Ren Yong became her agent agent.
Zhou Zhe looked at things at a glance, and he didn't bother to care about the rules and regulations, and there were not many rules to restrict him.
He mainly looked at rights and obligations, and the main thing was that it revolved around Director Qian's play, which was not too cumbersome.
"Sign it!" Zhou Zhe handed Xin Chai a pen and paper.
Xin Chai signed.
Although Qian Dao and Ren Yong were businesslike on the surface, they were still relieved in their hearts, because if Puyu in front of them left, they would inevitably go to great lengths to find it. Director Qian is sometimes very picky, sometimes informal. Sometimes when he is filming, he can't make a single action wrong, and sometimes, he doesn't care if the protagonist doesn't play well.
has made countless bad movies, and he also has his own ideals, that is, he has saved enough money to make his own film. As a producer himself, he cooperates with people who know him well to make him a producer, a director himself, and invites those powerful actors he can see to star. Of course, all this is built on the basis of money.
Therefore, he keeps making bad movies, just to make money, and in his consciousness, he is not afraid of how the audience scolds, because no matter how he scolds, there will always be capital that needs a director to make bad movies. Because the director needs capital, and the controller of capital needs a smart girl, this is the reality.
Several parties shook hands, Ren Yong and Director Qian had a lot of dealings, and said while shaking hands
"I'll go to the producer tomorrow to sign our contract. ”
The producer is the boss who pays the money, the producer is the general manager, they have the right to speak in this matter, and the director, he is not a world-class director, so he is the one who makes the film.
Director Qian nodded: "As soon as possible!"
Zhou Zhe saw that the time was approaching six o'clock, and invited: "Director Qian, I'll be the east in the evening, let's have a meal together! It just so happens that several martial arts instructors are also there." Ren Yong, come along?"
Ren Yong smiled: "That's a good feeling, but you can't drink at night." I have to sort out the contract when I go back, and I will find the producer to sign it early tomorrow morning!"
But Director Qian waved his hand: "I'll forget it, it's a long way back and forth, I'll look at the script again, and then look at it." Rest early, too. ”
Zhou Zhe invited again and again, but Director Qian still decisively refused, Zhou Zhe seemed to feel that he, as a director, was a bit like an ascetic.
He and Xin chased into Ren Yong's car, Wu Liansheng was also with him, and his apprentices and brothers drove two SUVs to follow.
As soon as he got in the car, Zhou Zhe asked: "Director Qian is a director anyway, why are you so tired?" Just shout at him for a light meal, and go back to read the script and think about the details. Is there a tent to live in?"
Wu Liansheng shook his head and said: "Brother Zhou, you don't know our director, I have been working with him for more than ten years. Most of the people in the crew eat mixed rice, and the screenwriter puts the script in place, so you can see whether it is a bad movie or not. So I'm used to mixing and mixing, and he, the director, doesn't have a snack anymore, and it is estimated that he can be beaten to death by the audience when he walks on the street. ”
"Hahaha!" Several people laughed, indeed, good dramas with plots that don't meet the audience's appetite can be sent to blades, let alone bad movies?
Wu Liansheng waited for everyone to laugh before continuing: "To be honest, the brothers are smiling. But Director Qian, a knife with a tofu heart, otherwise he wouldn't have cooperated with him for more than ten years. I'm also waiting. ”
"What are you waiting for?"
Wu Liansheng said with emotion: "Wait for an opportunity." Qian Dao didn't have money to live in a hotel or buy a car, he was saving money. He wanted to make a movie of his own, a good movie. Good screenwriters need money, and only by coming up with good scripts can they attract those real big names to join. It has not been easy for Director Qian these years, sometimes don't talk about the script, he doesn't even say the protagonist. The actors didn't act well, and in the end, the audience scolded the director. For this, he has a lot of infamy. But fortunately, the audience's vision is also higher, and they can see whether they have acting skills. ”
Zhou Zhe's nose was sour, and the people who practiced the Tao were inevitably blocked, and he felt the same way: "I can understand." ”
Wu Liansheng thought that Zhou Zhe was comforting and said: "You don't understand, over the years, running around, Director Qian has basically lived in tents and eaten the same box lunches. As for his hometown's house, I came out with a few actors who were familiar with Director Qian. For this scene, let's shoot here, and many of them will be filmed in Hengdian later. To be honest, I'm afraid that I'm used to making bad movies, and the crew is slacking off, and I don't know how to shoot good movies. ”
At this moment, Ren Yong, a low EQ man, added: "What good movies have you made?"
This is like a heavy punch, so that Wu Liansheng was speechless for a long time.
Ren Yong also saw the depression of the atmosphere: "Just kidding, joking." Zhou Zhe, I haven't asked you what you do before. That day, I saw Xin Chai's live broadcast that brother met me on the set just now, and said that your archery skills are very accurate, which is really fake. ”
"I'm a CQC coach. Zhou Zhe said this casually, but this identity seems to be able to completely hide the reason why he and Xin Chai are extraordinary.
Wu Liansheng asked suspiciously, "Really?" and his hand seemed to want to move.
Zhou Zhe sat in the front row, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said, "If you want to compare, hurry up and have a venue, and let your brothers come together." But well, mine is all killing tricks. ”
Wu Liansheng said: "Next time, find a venue where no one is around." ”
The crowd laughed.
The group of them left, but Yang Meng, who was at the door of the crew, was slowly preparing to leave.
Change costumes, remove makeup, take a shower, apply makeup, do your hair, and change into sexy and beautiful clothes.
"Plan, people, find out my black stockings. The one with the letters. ”
"Sister, only flesh-colored. ”
"Find, find, find, find! Producer Zhang doesn't like flesh. ”
"Where's my perfume?"
。。。。
"Why is this dress wrinkled, haven't you ironed it?"
Yang Meng carefully prepares all this, and attaches more importance to interviews and blind dates, because if she has a good relationship with the producer, she can film one after another, and the process is just to accompany the corporate bosses in the producer and the producer to eat and sleep during the filming. She also came here as a young actor, and she knows better than anyone what she has paid to get to this point.
Instead of continuing to be a small actor and being an unspoken rule by the assistant director or even a photographer and makeup artist, why not have a good relationship with a higher level of people? Anyway, whoever you sleep with is sleeping, and it is human nature to strive for higher interests.
She also understands that those producers and producers don't sleep with her to marry her home, and they don't praise her simply to sleep with her, they will also use her as a high-level circle to entertain them when necessary to get the benefits they need. So it's not so much a circle of unspoken rules as a circle of interests, one link after another. Therefore, it is also called Vanity Fair.
Yang Meng disdains directors like Director Qian, who have some skills, and disdains the male who debuted with his professional background and traffic. Because in her opinion, it is absurd to pursue art in making TV series. Do you rely on what the audience likes to watch? The audience doesn't let you watch it! Do you rely on the high evaluation of film critics? Film critics also have hobbies.
When interests have completely blinded her, everything doesn't matter, what acting, what art, it's all bullshit. Can it be used as food or can be used as clothes to live in a house? Her idea is simple, earn enough money in the most precious years and then immigrate to enjoy.
Therefore, she is a realist, not an idealist like Qian Dao. She is known by the unspoken rules in the inner circle, but what if she knows? In the crew, she can give any face on the surface, but she can also give no face to anyone.
At the door of the hotel box, Yang Meng, who was wearing a fur coat and expensive jewelry, was extremely luxurious on the upper body, but on the lower body, he was wearing high heels and black stockings, showing off the producer's favorite pair of beautiful legs.
"We've been waiting for you for a long time, and several leaders have been waiting for a while. Hurry, hurry, hurry. Producer Zhang pulled Yang Meng and went to the box.
Yang Meng knew what he might have to do tonight, and immediately asked, "Which one is the leader?"
Producer Zhang quickened his pace, and said as he walked: "The one I asked you to toast later, remember, you must serve well." ”
Yang Meng was not unhappy in his heart, this was not the first time, nor was it the last, since it was Vanity Fair, they were all rolling in the mud, and no one could laugh at anyone.
"Understood. ”
As soon as I entered the private room, the scene quieted down, there were only five people present, and the one sitting in the center was extraordinary, and at a glance he knew that he was a superior person. There are vacant seats on either side of him, needless to say, for Producer Zhang and Yang Meng.
One of the people with eyes is in his thirties, very capable and looks like a secretary, and at the end, he is a taciturn middle-aged man, and the clothes on his body are very ordinary, and he knows at a glance that he is a driver. On the other side, Yang Meng knows that he is the driver and assistant of Producer Zhang.
See it all at a glance.
Yang Meng smiled and nodded, then took off the fur coat on her upper body and took off her mask. Producer Zhang understood very well, and did not step forward to help, but allowed Yang Meng to stretch out her slender snow-white arms, revealing her smooth armpits to show off her sexy and perfect figure, which is the result of long-term cooperation.
After hanging up the clothes, Yang Mengcai came over and said: "You're really embarrassed, the crew has a female supporting actress to audition today, and I delayed a little time, so I punished myself with three cups." ”
Such a remark not only saved the leaders who drooled all over the place from embarrassment, but also warmed the scene, which can not be described as experience.
Producer Zhang said very cooperatively: "It's me who didn't arrange it, and Director Qian is really, the audition will be auditioned, and everyone who is delayed is uncomfortable, and I will also punish myself for three cups." ”
While instructing the assistant to pour wine, he led Yang Meng to the predetermined position, and just like that, a daily banquet in Vanity Fair began.
