Chapter 58: Fan Brother
For the sake of face, it was inconvenient for Ren Shuai to ask the salary directly, so he began to knock on the side.
"What is the approximate scale of this film?"
Zhou Yi didn't expect that Mr. Li only asked about the topic of filming time, and suddenly turned to the direction of crew size, was it worried that the production was not sophisticated enough and would affect the final presentation effect?
"According to past experience, the investment after the project is at least 80 million, although it is not a large-scale commercial film, but most of the funds are used for production, and it will not be spent too much on hiring actors."
After listening to the last sentence, Ren Shuai's heart was half cold.
In other words, the actor's salary will not be too high.
He took a sip of tea, pondered and said, "Otherwise, you can contact me after the project is established, there are still more than two months before the end of the year, and I can't say how long it will be." ”
Zhou Xi personally came forward to contact him, just to finalize him, and when he heard such an ambiguous answer, he was naturally not satisfied.
"Teacher Li, if you have any difficulties, just mention them, I can help you find a way to solve them."
Seeing his sincere attitude, Ren Shuai said truthfully: "I still have my own job, and I am about to retire, so it's not good to ask for leave all the time." ”
Zhou Xi immediately replied: "As for the school, I can help you coordinate." ”
He always thinks that Ren Shuai is Meiying's teacher, and he must be busy with his usual schoolwork, and it is really inconvenient to ask for leave for this kind of work.
Zhou Yi is a well-known screenwriter in the industry, and if he comes forward to ask for leave from school, there will naturally be no big problem.
Even if Gao Dagui wants to make things difficult for Ren Shuai, there is no way.
Ren Shuai nodded with satisfaction, and said: "However, I still have a movie to shoot at the end of the year, as long as the dates don't collide." “
Zhou Yi didn't care and said: "It's okay, the filming period of this role is not long, two or three days should be enough, even if the time really hits, I will help you go to the crew over there to ask for leave." ”
Ren Shuai smiled: "That's good, but what if I don't ask for leave?" “
"To tell you the truth, I still have a small network in the circle, and I can dredge it through the screenwriter circle, and if it doesn't work, I can directly ask the director for leave, you don't have to worry about this, I will solve any problems."
In order to finalize Ren Shuai's appearance, Zhou Yi can be said to have spared no effort.
Ren Shuai was very moved, this kind of creative spirit is worthy of admiration, even if the salary is low, he has to support it.
"Okay, just have this sentence, as long as I have no problem with time, I will definitely act."
Zhou Yi nodded happily, finally finalized an important role, and landed a stone in his heart.
It is not easy to find young and old actors in the entertainment industry, and it is even more difficult to find old and young actors.
Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teacup and took a few sips, since the matter was almost the same, there was no need to delay Teacher Li's time.
He got up to settle the bill and walked down the teahouse with Ren Shuai.
"Mr. Li, you're going back to Meijing, do you want me to drive you?"
Ren Shuai waved his hand and said, "Don't bother, I've bought all the tickets." ”
The contract already includes the transportation expenses for the actors to enter the group, so he naturally doesn't want to take advantage of others.
Before leaving, Zhou Yi suddenly asked a little curiously: "Mr. Li, your selection of works should be very standard, I don't know which movie you want to make at the end of the year?" ”
Ren Shuai thought about it and was suddenly a little stunned, he really didn't seem to know what film Ma Chunpeng was going to make, and he didn't even know the genre, after all, he hadn't finally signed the contract, it was just a verbal agreement.
I agreed at the beginning because the salary was attractive.
"I ...... this"
Seeing that Mr. Li was a little hesitant, Zhou thought that there was something confidential involved, so he hurriedly shook his hand and said: "The contract requires confidentiality, right, I understand, you don't need to say it." “
Ren Shuai said: "I haven't signed the contract yet." ”
Zhou Yi was stunned, so to speak, the crew that asked Mr. Li to film at the end of the year was the same as himself, and he was finalizing the actors in advance.
In this case, you have to start first, quickly finalize the time, and sign the contract immediately, even if the other side hits the time, it will have to be on your side.
After all, it's a first-come, first-served basis, who let the contract over there be signed late.
He secretly praised his wit in his heart, and if he hadn't asked more, he would have suffered.
Then Zhou Yi was a little puzzled: "Since you haven't signed a contract yet, you can always talk about the title, right?" ”
Ren Shuai spread his hands: "I don't know the name." ”
"What about the subject matter?"
"I don't know."
"What about the cast?"
"I don't know."
"What's your role?"
"I don't know."
“……”
Zhou Yi was a little confused, since he didn't know anything, what did Mr. Li want?
"Then why did you say yes?"
Ren Shuai: "......"
It can't be said that the salary is high.
Zhou Yi suddenly reacted and asked, "The screenwriter is famous?" ”
If it is a famous screenwriter, even if you don't know the content, you can make the actor feel at ease to agree to the invitation, after all, the quality is absolutely guaranteed.
Ren Shuai thought for a while, when Song Lishu introduced the crew, she seemed to have mentioned the name of the screenwriter.
"Call Cloud ......"
The clouds are still coming from the mountain vegetables, I can't remember.
Ren Shuai only paid attention to the salary at the beginning, and didn't care too much about the rest.
Zhou Xian's eyes suddenly widened and said, "Is it, yes, Teacher Yunshang?" ”
"Like."
Ren Shuai in the screenwriting circle doesn't understand it at all, and Uncle Li doesn't understand it either.
Zhou Yi was suddenly excited, and the usual calm feeling suddenly disappeared, like mentioning the fan brother of the idol, the whole person became enthusiastic.
"It's actually a teacher on the cloud, no wonder you agreed to the invitation without asking anything, her works are classics, if you meet her, is it inconvenient to help me get an autograph?"
Ren Shuai was stunned by him, but he didn't expect Zhou Yi to have such a side.
Then he suddenly remembered that Su Yu seemed to ask him to help ask for Zhou Xi's autograph, and he almost forgot it.
He fumbled in his pocket, but couldn't find a pen or paper.
After Zhou Xiaoxiao was excited, he gradually regained his composure, felt the gaffe just now, and hurriedly coughed a few times to relieve the embarrassment.
Seeing Ren Shuai touching his body, he wondered, "Teacher Li, what are you looking for?" ”
"There is a junior who likes your work very much, and asked me to sign it, but I forgot it just now, and I just remembered what you said."
Zhou Yi was flattered and said: "A screenwriter of my level is just a little accomplished, and you still have juniors who like me?" “
"Well, a girl from the screenwriting department."
"No problem, don't bother, if you want to sign it, I can just find a few books and send them to her."
"Oh, that's fine."
Ren Shuai left the address of the crew and prepared to leave.
Zhou Xi instructed again: "If you see the screenwriter on the cloud, please help me get an autograph, okay, I will personally find you to get it when the time comes." ”
Ren Shuai saw that he really liked the clouds, and nodded in agreement.
Zhou Yi suddenly thought of something, and followed him and asked: "Teacher Yunshang has always cooperated with big directors in the industry, do you know who is cooperating with this time?" ”
This Ren Shuai knows.
"Ma Chumphong."
"Hiss......"
