Chapter 225: Worth
Although Su Ci has only debuted for two years, he has already filmed four dramas, except for "Sky Dance" and "Mirror", which play supporting roles, "Hero Sword" and "Twins" are both female leads.
Especially the release of "Hero Sword" not only made her popular through half the sky, but the super high box office proved that she has the ability to carry the box office.
Although "Twins" has just been completed, Zhang Qishan's film is heading for the Berlin Film Festival, and once he wins the award, Su Ci's worth will triple jump.
The female number one who has won the grand prize at the international film festival, who is willing to lower her price to play for others and play the second female lead again?
After thinking about it for a while, Guan Shanjue still felt that the possibility of Su Ci agreeing was too low.
"Lao Ning, is this possible?"
Guan Shan felt unreliable, but Ning Xulin didn't mean to speak for Guan Shan with human affection, sat up straight, and no longer talked to Guan Shan:
"Later, when you have a drinking party, you can find out the tone, and whether it will be successful depends on whether your script is attractive or not. ”
Guan Shan saw that Ning Xulin had no intention of talking any further, so he closed his mouth with interest.
Time passed quickly, and as the dinner drew to a close, many of the celebrities who were ready to attend the reception got up and walked upstairs to the banquet hall.
After Su quit the elevator, he met Ning Xulin and Guan Shan, who came side by side at the door of the banquet hall.
"Director Ning......" Su Ci took the initiative to greet Ning Xulin when he saw him, and was half a position behind Ning Xulin, and greeted him very respectfully.
Ning Xulin originally had a good impression of Su Ci, but now seeing that Su Ci was as close and respectful to him as ever, and did not change his attitude towards him because of the change of her identity, the smile in his eyes became thicker.
"You girl, it's been a long time, "Twins" is finished, right?"
"It's just finished. ”
Su Ci replied with a smile, and then moved his gaze to Guan Shan, and Ning Xulin introduced the two of them as if he had just reacted.
"This is Guan Fat, Guan Shan ......" Ning Xulin glanced at Guan Shan's big belly with disgust, and pointed at Su Ci and said, "Xiao Su, Su Ci, the little girl is quite aura in acting." ”
Guan Shan was fat in life, and he often smiled like a Maitreya Buddha, and when he saw that Ning Xulin gave the two of them an introduction, he immediately glared at Ning Xulin several times, and secretly scolded him for not being righteous enough.
Su Ci successfully met Guan Shan.
One of the two was interested in exploring the general direction of the revision of the script of "Pretty Woman in the South", and the other was interested in using the script story to lure the other party into taking the bait, and for a while the conversation was very speculative.
After several temptations, the two sides were quite tacit.
Su Ci did not object to lowering his price to play the supporting role, Guan Shan naturally had to repay the favor Li Ti and Su Ci, and pulled the fragrant and sweet food Ning Xulin at the cocktail party, and the two took Su Ci together to say hello to the director in the venue.
The closeness of these three people made many people secretly look sideways, and then thinking of Guan Shan's recent large-scale invitation to first-line actresses to audition, many people even speculated whether Su Ci was going to play the role of Lin Qiuyue.
Thinking of this, many female stars who aimed at the corner of Lin Qiuyue looked bad at their faces.
Su Ci didn't pay attention to these anomalies, and stayed in the venue until eleven o'clock before making an excuse to leave.
"How is it, is it going well?" As soon as Su Cicai got into the car, Qiao Song, who was sitting in front, turned around and asked.
"It's okay, Director Ning and Director Guan Shan took me to meet a few directors. ”
Su Ci leaned back in the chair, her eyes half-closed, and let the makeup artist remove the jewelry on her body.
"Director Guan Shan, is there something I don't know?"
Qiao Song raised his eyebrows slightly, as if he was very surprised that Guan Shan would help Su Ci develop contacts with the attitude of promoting his juniors, turned sideways again, and asked very suspiciously.
"Brother Qiao......"
Su Ci opened his eyes with a respectful attitude, but his expression was very serious:
"I may take over the role of "Lady of the South", but not the role of Lin Qiuyue, but the role of Yu Qingcheng's wife. ”
"What?"
Qiao Song was really stunned this time, and after subconsciously asking a rhetorical question, he quickly came back to his senses,
"We have also read the script of "Pretty Woman in the South", Yu Qingcheng's wife is a cameo, you ......"
Qiao Song suddenly stopped when he said this, and there were some vague guesses in his heart, even if there were no outsiders in the car, he still tried his best to keep his voice low and then asked:
"Xiao Ci, has there been any changes to the script of "Pretty Woman in the South"?"
"Well, if nothing else, a new script will be sent tomorrow at the latest, and then please pay attention to Brother Qiao. ”
Qiao Song looked at Su Ci steadily, his expression was also a little strange, and finally turned around without saying anything.
In fact, in Qiao Song's heart, he was still very conflicted about Su Ci's audition for the role of Lin Qiuyue.
In his heart, he not only hoped that Su Ci's audition would be successful, but also felt that this role was too risky, so although he did not stop Su Ci from pondering the script of "Beauty in the South" during this time, he often told Su Ci not to have too much hope.
At this time, I heard Su Ci say that the script of "Beauty in the South" has been changed, and she wants to play the role of a supporting actress, and she doesn't know what to say for a while.
Qiao Song actually disagreed with Su Ci playing the female supporting role after playing the first female role, but just as Su Ci believed him, Qiao Song also believed in Su Ci, he knew that she was not a person without proportion.
If she wasn't really interested, if it weren't for the fact that the character was really attractive to Su Ci, she wouldn't do anything to lower her value.
Although Qiao Song disagreed, seeing Su Ci's full of interest, he still didn't open his mouth to object.
Everything will wait until tomorrow after reading the script.
Su Ci also guessed Qiao Song's thoughts, but she talked to Guan Shan, and she was very optimistic about the changed "Southern Beauty", but she was not worried that Qiao Song would stop it.
It's just that in this way, the script that Jian Yi prepared for her will be pressed first.
As Su Ci guessed, Qiao Song read the script of the new "Southern Beauty", although he was a little unhappy, he did not open his mouth to object.
It's really too much for Xia Jinghe to match Su Ci, if Su Ci's performance is brilliant enough, she can hit the Best Supporting Actress Award next year with "Southern Beauty".
If Su Ci is lucky enough, "Twins" can also win the award, and then she can jump directly to the front line and become one of the top actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry.
This may sound unrealistic and whimsical, but it's not without an opportunity.
Qiao Song has ambition and ability, as long as there is a glimmer of opportunity, he dares to use his resources to pile up Su Ci's future.
Half a month later, Guan Shan called and asked Su to meet in his studio.
Su Ci was not surprised to receive this call, and it was recently rumored in the circle that "Southern Beauty" would audition next week, and Su Ci knew that Guan Shan would make an appointment to meet him in advance.
"You are an actor who was finalized by Guan Shan early in the morning, and you also invested a sum of money in it, and you can be regarded as an investor in "Southern Beauty". ”
Qiao Song took a sip of coffee and opened his mouth to say his guess:
"Guan Shan is looking for you, in addition to signing a contract, he should also want you to see the auditions of other actors. It's a learning opportunity for you, take advantage of it. ”
Su Ci's eyes lit up all of a sudden!
It's really interesting to be able to watch the performances of many A-list actresses up close.
"Brother Qiao, does Director Guan want me to be the audition officer?" Su Ci blinked and asked with interest.
"Generally, during the audition, the investor will send the person in charge to check it, Wei Shaoji doesn't know anything about this, and the person in charge of the arrangement may not know how to make a movie, in order to avoid the person in charge of the crew, isn't it more appropriate for you, the investor, and the second female lead of the crew to audition in person? At least you are a professional actor. ”
After listening to Qiao Song's analysis, Su Ci knew what Guan Shan was thinking.
He wanted to use the name of her investor to overhead the person in charge of Wei Sihan's arrangement.
Guan Shan's abacus is extremely shrewd, but Su Ci doesn't plan to cooperate with him, it's okay to let her audition, she can observe the performances of other actresses from a distance, but Su Ci is inconvenient to interfere in other things.
Qiao Song knew that Su Ci was an understanding person, but she had been in this circle for too short, and with him and Jian Yi to protect her, she had gone so smoothly that there were many things that she couldn't think about comprehensively.
"Xiao Ci, what I want to say is that if Guan Shan wants you to participate in the audition, you refuse him. ”
Seeing Su Ci looking at him puzzled, Qiao Song put down the coffee cup in his hand and carefully told Su Ci about the doorway:
"You can go into the audition studio to observe, but don't take the job of the person in charge of the investor, once this opening is opened, you can't stand by and watch if the crew has something to do in the future. In addition, the famous directors in the circle have their own tempers, if you have a conflict with Guan Shan from the perspective of investors in the crew in the future, it is likely to cause Guan Shan's dissatisfaction. ”
Qiao Song said it so thoroughly, Su Ci understood it at once.
In the crew, the investor can deny the director's decision-making to a certain extent, while the actor is completely under the director's command.
If Su Ci enters the crew as an investor and an actor, a circular chain will be formed between him and Guan Shan.
She can not only deny Guan Shan's decision-making as an investor, but also obey Guan Shan's command as an actor.
The degree in this middle is not easy to grasp.
Once Su Ci's interests conflict with Guan Shan, it will inevitably leave Guan Shan with the impression of being overwhelming, which will cause Guan Shan's disgust.
Thinking of this, Su Ci's expression suddenly became serious,
"Brother Qiao, don't worry, I am just an actor in the crew of "Pretty Woman in the South", and I have no other identity. ”
Su Ci has always been transparent, and he knows how to advance and retreat, and he does not have the delicacy of the daughter of the family and the squeamishness of temperament.
Qiao Song is very satisfied with this.
He reached out and grabbed the coffee cup, and his middle finger unconsciously tapped on the cup.
"You take over the role of "Southern Beauty" this time, I will greatly increase your salary, you have already lowered your price to play a supporting role, if you don't mention a price that makes Guan Shan's flesh hurt, your value will fall back to before the endorsement of Mor Perfume. ”
As for how much salary Qiao Song planned to give her, Su Ci didn't ask much.
In fact, in her heart, she also agreed with Qiao Song to give her a salary.
The size of the celebrity coffee position and the level of value can be seen at a glance through the salary.
Su Ci didn't want to take over the two female No. 1 films by himself, endorsing the world's top and most luxurious perfume brands, and after the triple jump, he was pulled back by the role of a female No. 2.
She can play the second female lead to play for others, but she is absolutely not allowed to lower her value.
Even if "Pretty Woman in the South" is Su Ci's own investment, it can't.
Therefore, after Su Ci takes over the role of Xia Jinghe, Qiao Song will definitely propose a salary not lower than Su Ci's role as the female number one.
This is a matter of Su Ci's coffee position and value, and Qiao Song will definitely not back down.
"You can stay at home for half a month at most, go back and accompany the old man well, and you won't have time to go home after joining the group next month." ”
Su Ci responded, and Qiao Song continued:
"After signing the contract for you, I will fly to France once, I may not be able to come back when I join the group, let Qi Jia accompany you into the group when the time comes, remember to bring a few more assistants. ”
Su Ci couldn't help laughing, Qiao Song was thinking that there was a first-line actress in the crew, and she wanted to press the other party down on the pomp?
"Don't laugh!" Qiao Song himself couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and reprimanded her softly:
"In addition to being an actor, you also have the identity of the eldest lady of the Song family, don't forget that you are not safe for the time being. ”
Su Ci nodded and agreed, seeing that Qiao Song had nothing else to do, so he got up and left.
At this time, it was already November, and it had only snowed in Yanjing, and the wind was blowing, and there was a chill in the air.
Because of the weather, there are not many pedestrians on the street, and occasionally there are small couples running past each other, and the youthful eyebrows and eyes are wantonly publicized, and the people who watch can't help but smile.
Seeing a shallow smile on the corner of Su Ci's mouth, Qi Jia also looked out along her line of sight, then retracted her gaze, and cautiously asked tentatively:
"Xiao Ci, you are about to join the crew, do you want to take advantage of this time to go to Jiangcheng to have fun?"
Su Ci retracted his gaze, thought for a while, and slowly shook his head,
"No, I'm going to Guan Dao's studio in the next two days, and then I'm going to read the script, so I probably won't have time to go to Jiangcheng. ”
Qi Jia frowned, his mouth opened, and he didn't say anything more after all.
Su Ci lowered his head, thinking of Jian Yi's increasingly busy background when he was on the phone, and sighed secretly in his heart.
The two have not seen each other since they came back from France, and because Jian Yi is too busy, Su Ci can't remember how long the two haven't talked properly.
Although Jian Yi's attitude towards her was the same as before, Su Ci felt that the two of them seemed to be much stranger.
Su Ci's mood was a little low, and Qi Jia felt a little guilty in her heart, but she didn't know how to comfort her.
Just as he was thinking about to say something, Su Ci's mobile phone rang.
Qi Jia secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and before he could sit down, he heard Su Ci call out a name quite unexpectedly:
"What's the matter?"
Su Ci was really surprised, she thought that she would never have any contact with the Su family again in this life, but she didn't expect to receive a call from Su Libao so soon.
“...... Sister"
Su Libao hesitated for a long time, and Ai Ai shouted Su Ci, seeing that Su Ci did not react, she lowered her voice and said again:
"Sister, my father had an accident and is now in Anseong Hospital...... Mom asked me to ask you, can you, can you, take Dad to Yenching Hospital......"
