Chapter 49: The Power of Capital
After all the auditions of the crew of "Wind and Bone" were completed, Zhang Liang talked about a large amount of investment, which can be described as double happiness!
After holding an internal meeting, Zhang Liang finally decided that the heroine Yan Qian was Ruan Qian, among so many girls, only Ruan Qian's performance was the most exciting.
This time, in order to show sincerity to Mu Bai, Zhang Liang not only asked the crew to officially release the heroine's information, but also spoke on his Weibo in person.
Zhang Liang: Welcome to our Yan Qian - Ruan Qian!
This Weibo was frantically forwarded by the crew within a few minutes, and even the actors who had worked with Zhang Liang before congratulated Ruan Qian.
After the popularity came up all of a sudden, sharp-eyed netizens suddenly found that among the investors in the crew, Mu Bai was in the first place!
With the brains of netizens, coupled with the entertainment news that was broken out by the paparazzi before, netizens are imagining the twists and turns in it.
I just said that Mr. Ba made a high-profile official announcement, but after a while, the news was withdrawn, and now Ruan Qian, a newcomer who did not perform amazingly, can play the heroine in the crew of director Zhang Liang, which is definitely going through the back door!
Everyone was very curious about what the person who could make Mu Bai look at him differently was like, but after searching the Internet, they couldn't find Ruan Qian's figure.
Does this Ruan Qian never go online? How come there is no trace at all?
But at the same time, what puzzles everyone is that Director Zhang Liang is notoriously strict with his works, and even a senior actress like Song Yun may be kicked out of the crew at any time, but now he suddenly finds a new one, is the artist finally bowing to the capital?
#ζ η½ε°εΊη»δΊεΌ θ―ε€ε°ι±? #θΏδΈͺθ―ι’ηͺηΆε°±δΈδΊηζ, it aroused the discussion of the majority of netizens.
And not long after the "Wind Bone" crew officially announced the heroine, the "Streamer" crew also officially launched and started business, and announced their starring lineup.
Now, one is a rookie actor who relies on capital, and the other is the screen goddess in the hearts of thousands of young men, the two dramas started filming almost at the same time, and the styles are also very similar, this is like a silent competition, no one mentions the other, but they are secretly working hard.
Song Yun has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and she still has a deep fan base, when she was kicked out of the crew by Director Zhang Liang before, Song Yun's fans had a lot of complaints, but at the beginning, Director Zhang Liang said that the two people's artistic pursuits are in different directions, and everyone can barely understand.
But what now?
A newcomer who relied on capital to take the position of Song Yun was banned in this way, and Song Yun's fans felt that Zhang Liang's action was simply slapping him in the face.
"This good director is too double-standard, right? I thought he was a rare director with his own bottom line, but I didn't expect to lose to capital in the end. β
"I wonder why Director Zhang Liang would rather use a newcomer than my Song Yun? Is it because we don't stand high enough? β
"No, no, no, it's because she didn't give enough money!"
β¦β¦
This is just the beginning, and there are bad reviews on the top, and the assistant directors feel that they are under a lot of pressure.
"Director, aren't we too high-profile? Getting Song Yun away before, it was originally our loss, but now our two crews can be regarded as a bar. β
"Don't be afraid, black and red are also red, you look at the current heat, you can't buy it with any amount of money."
Zhang Liang can think about it, although now with Mu Bai's funds as support, he is not the one who is short of money, but who would dislike having more money?
If you can save a little bit, you can spend less money on publicity, and you can have more budget on production.
Compared with these comments and public opinion, Zhang Liang pays more attention to the quality of his works, and when public opinion is strong, only talking about his works is the hardest.
"By the way, this is a new investor profile, you can screen it."
Zhang Liang looked at the dejected assistant director and pushed a bundle of materials in front of him.
When the assistant director saw the thick dozen investor information, he suddenly felt that his waist no longer hurt, his legs were no longer numb, and his life was full of hope again.
"So many?"
The assistant director rubbed his eyes, he was afraid that he was dreaming.
Obviously, two days ago, I was still dizzy about the money invested, but now so many investors have come to the door by themselves, and the happiness came too suddenly, and the assistant director couldn't accept it all of a sudden.
"Or else? Let's take a look, you don't have to choose too much, just choose a reliable one for me. β
Although Zhang Liang claims to be an artist, in front of the real power of capital, he has to say: Rich is really fragrant!
In the past, those investors would inevitably point fingers, but in order to invest, they had to respond to the unreasonable demands of the investors.
But now that feng shui is taking turns, with the living sign of Mu Bai, this investor can be said to be constantly sent to the door by himself, and Zhang Liang was still a little uncomfortable at first.
The assistant director looked at the investment materials, there were so many choices, of course, he had to choose one that was suitable for the crew, and it would not have much impact on the script, so he worked hard all afternoon, and finally picked four or five more reliable investors.
"I'm almost done, director, take a look."
When the assistant director came over with those materials, he found that Zhang Liang, who had never been smiling, was trembling with laughter at the mobile phone screen.
Could it be that the director is dating online?
The assistant director walked in a little, only to find that Zhang Liang was reading the bank text message.
The assistant director was wondering what was so good about this bank text message, he could laugh like this, and after he read the content of the text message clearly, he instantly understood.
"I didn't expect Mu Bai to be quite trustworthy, our news has just been posted on the Internet, and his investment has arrived, and it is not bad!"
Zhang Liang has never seen such a straightforward investor, and he directly called the money, without a word of superfluous nonsense, let alone pointing fingers at his work.
It's just his dream shot!
Zhang Liang looked at the row of zero smirks in the text messages on his mobile phone, even the assistant director was a little incredible, with previous investors, the money was called one by one, after all, they also need capital turnover, but it was the first time he had seen Mu Bai who directly called 200 million!
"Do you think it's too late for me to hug my thighs now?"
The assistant director looked at the numbers in the text message, and suddenly felt that the documents in his hand were not fragrant.
"Don't bother people, everyone is a worker, be professional."
Zhang Liang had learned about Mu Bai's current situation in advance, not to mention that Mu Bai had always liked to keep a low profile, so even if he saw him, just treat him with a normal heart.
When the crew's phone called, Ruan Qian was squatting on the side of the road with Mu Bai to eat a boxed lunch, because Mu Bai's funds were in place in time, so the crew's food was raised to a higher level.
"Today's meal was quite delicious."
Ruan Qian had eaten the boxed lunches provided by the crew before, but they were all the kind of clear soup with little water, and there was no taste, but today's combination of meat and vegetables can be described as full of color, flavor and flavor.
"It's okay."
Mu Bai is not very sensitive to these foods, just something for the stomach, as long as he is full.
Halfway through the lunch, Ruan Qian's mobile phone suddenly rang, Ruan Qian glanced at the unfamiliar number, and hung up directly, but the call was abandoned two or three times.
Ruan Qian felt that something was wrong, if he had made the wrong call, he should have found out a long time ago, was there something urgent?
When the phone rang again, this time Ruan Qian finally put down the lunch box briefly and pressed the answer button.
"Hey, hello, is it Ms. Ruan Qian? That's the case, our director likes your role of Yan Qian very much, I don't know if you are willing to join our crew for filming? β
"Me? Yes, I do! β
Ruan Qian was stunned for two seconds after hearing this, if it was in his own professional field, Ruan Qian would no longer be afraid at all.
But now in a completely new field, competing with so many people, the odds of being selected are almost all in line with winning the lottery.
"Okay, then if you have time, let's come here and sign the contract."
The other side of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, and the girl's tone of voice when she said that I was willing was too firm, and it made him feel like he was listening to the wedding vows.
"I'm on the crew, I'll be right away."
At this time, Ruan Qian couldn't even take care of the boxed lunch, and after hanging up the phone, he hurried to the director's office, for fear that Zhang Liang would regret it in the next second.
On weekdays, if you sign such a contract, the crew can handle it, but Zhang Liang came to sign the contract with Ruan Qian in person in order to express his gratitude to Ruan Qian.
"Hello, Director!"
Ruan Qian has always been vigorous and resolute outside on weekdays, but in front of Zhang Liang, he was excited like a child.
"Hello, Ruan Qian! Congratulations on joining our big family of the "Wind and Bone" crew, you can ask if you don't understand anything during the filming, and report to me in time if you have any questions, as long as I can help you, I will definitely help! β
Zhang Liang put the contract in front of Ruan Qian, with a bright smile on his face, which made Ruan Qian feel like a spring breeze.
Ruan Qian, this is the first time that Director Zhang Liang is such a gentle and amiable person, although Ruan Qian did not speak during the start-up ceremony before, he also secretly observed.
Director Zhang Liang seems to rarely smile in front of the camera, and he doesn't smile in private, but today he laughs so happily, could it be that he misunderstood him before?
"Thank you, Director!"
Anyway, Ruan Qian finally completed a small goal and signed his name on the contract, even if he officially joined the crew of "Wind Bone".
"No thanks, but I thank you."
Director Zhang Liang took the contract back with a smile, but what he said made Ruan Qian feel foggy, why should he thank her?
Ruan Qiangang wanted to ask what Director Zhang Liang meant by this, but Zhang Liang had already called the staff.
"Okay, you follow the staff to take a makeup photo, the male protagonist and the male protagonist have already been taken, you go and take a photo with them."
"Oh, good."
Ruan Qian thought that Director Zhang Liang had something to do, and it was inconvenient to keep bothering here, so he left with interest.
