Just as Xu Ji was thinking carefully about the training plan for his future team, his mobile phone rang.

It's a video from Sha Yetong.

Xu Ji then remembered that today should be the end of the performance.

"Xiao Xuzi, why didn't you take the initiative to contact me?"

After connecting the video, Xu Ji suddenly found that Sha Yetong did not tell himself the results of the performance as happily as before this time.

"It's been a bit busy."

"Did the performance go well?"

Xu Ji asked.

Sha Yetong didn't answer directly, but said:

"I've thought about it, when I go back to Rongcheng, how about we open a store together?"

Xu Ji always felt that Sha Yetong was a little weird today.

"Why did you suddenly remember to open a store?"

Xu Ji quickly reacted, and then asked:

"Is it because the performance didn't go well?"

A trace of sadness flashed on Sha Yetong's face, but he quickly returned to normal.

"The rest of our squad was eliminated and I qualified for the semi-finals."

"So I stayed."

Then he said with an unconcerned expression: "It's a little difficult to be a singer or something, but when the time comes, our store will open, and the store can play my songs every day." ”

Xu Ji was very keen to capture the change in the expression on Sha Yetong's face.

He knows very well that Sha Yetong's dream has always been to be a singer.

Although now Sha Yetong looks like he has seen it at this time.

But it's impossible not to really care.

"I have a suggestion."

"Why don't you wait for me to open a company, you think about it, how about I sign you?"

Sha Yetong was stunned for a moment after hearing Xu Ji's words, and then couldn't help laughing.

"Look at my mood~"

"If you can really open an entertainment company, it's not impossible to give you a part-time job."

Sha Yetong didn't pay much attention to Xu Ji's words.

After all, she gave a lot of performance fees to the program team of the girl in the creation camp this time, and Xu Ji is poorer than herself now, and opening a company or something sounds like a fantasy.

Xu Ji was a little helpless.

He could also see that Sha Yetong didn't believe in himself.

Sha Yetong didn't take Xu Ji's words seriously, but began to struggle with whether to open a milk tea shop or a fruit shop, and later even remembered that he and Xu Ji would become a chain in the future, and the issue of how to distribute the equity.

Xu Ji listened to Sha Yetong's chattering planning for more than two hours.

Although Sha Yetong kept asking him to listen carefully, in the end, Xu Ji still yawned countless times, and he really couldn't help but fall asleep.

.....

In the next few days, Xu Ji ignored You Man's strange eyes every day, and directly expanded the crew team that originally consisted of only the two of them to an exaggerated number of more than 100 people.

Of course, not all of them are students, and there are many people who are experienced in the industry.

But in You Man's eyes, those people are still at an unpopular level.

"We are an online drama crew, do we need so many people?"

You Man finally couldn't help but ask.

But Xu Ji replied directly: "There are many people, there is great power!" ”

You Man didn't know how to complain at this time.

There is a lot of power in bullshit.

When these people start filming when the time comes, most of these people recruited by Xu Ji are in You Man's eyes, and it is already good not to make trouble.

In a place like the crew, the more people come from, the better.

The key is that she asked her boss Chi Jiang, but the other party didn't wait for her to finish speaking, and directly said that these were all arranged by Xu Ji.

Chi Jiang is such a character, since he has decided to cooperate, he will not doubt the use of people, and let the director do it freely.

Including some other rookie directors who signed a contract with Station G this time, he is also like this.

Xu Ji ignored the sulking Youman.

Instead, he looked at the list in his hand again, and after making sure that nothing was missed, he said:

"The crew should be enough."

"The next thing is to find a job as an actor."

You Man asked a little embarrassedly, "Then let's go to our school today?" ”

But this time, Xu Ji shook his head.

"No, you can help me try to contact these two actors through the channel of Station G."

"Let's see if there's a chance to meet."

Xu Ji took out his mobile phone and showed the other party two photos.

You Man carefully looked at the photo handed over by Xu Ji.

"Ji Zhou and Ji Yiyang?"

Xu Ji nodded.

This is the leading actor he decided after screening during this time.

Although the two of them can only be regarded as second-tier male stars, their salaries are not cheap?

You Man was a little surprised to see the two male protagonists selected by Du Xu Xi.

Although You Man is not particularly clear about the specific salary quotations of these two people.

But it is estimated that the salary of less than 5 million will not be considered by the other party.

This is still the lowest case.

"Are you going to use the money saved by the crew to pay the actors?"

You Man asked with a frown.

She couldn't help but feel a feeling of contempt for Xu Ji.

Even before, when Xu Ji formed the crew so nonsense, You Man didn't look down on Xu Ji so much at this moment.

Because in her opinion, many bad movies now operate in this way.

took the bulk of the investment and threw it on the actors' salaries, and invited some popular stars.

led to the low quality of the whole drama from the plot to the production.

It's just this kind of drama, and there are so many brainless fans who pay for it.

In the end, they can pay for themselves, or even make a big profit.

The current environment of film and television dramas is made bad by these people.

You Man hated this.

Xu Ji said: "You don't have to worry about this, just ask them to meet me." ”

You Man couldn't stop Xu Ji's decision, so he could only say angrily:

"Man, I can give you an appointment."

"But I warn you, it's weird that something shot like this can really be fired!"

Xu Ji asked a little funny: "What if it's really popular?" ”

You Man glanced around at the small restaurant where he and Xu Ji were eating, and then pointed to the folding table in front of him and said:

"If it can be fired, I will eat this table."

Hearing these somewhat familiar words, Xu Ji looked at You Man with strange eyes.

......

The two actors, Ji Zhou and Ji Yiyang, were actually not chosen by Xu Ji casually.

First of all, we need the best of our male protagonist Yu Huai's sense of youth, and secondly, the other party needs to have a certain audience popularity, not a pure traffic idol.

finally locked these two actors that Xu Ji felt were more suitable.

I have to say that You Man's efficiency is still very fast, and he made an appointment with the two of them to meet in the name of Station G the next day.

Coincidentally, at this time, both seem to be auditioning for the same role, so they are both in the capital.

There's no need to waste time meeting one by one.

After that, Xu Ji and You Man flew directly to the capital and found a hotel to live in.

Wait for the appointment of the two agents.

Although Xu Ji is a director, he is a pure newcomer after all, and the investment is small.

Naturally, it is impossible to directly invite people to audition according to the style of other directors.

I can only take the initiative to come over and show the script to the other party in a low profile, and then negotiate.

You Man reminded:

"You have to be prepared to fail."

"Unless we give out all the salaries, we are not absolutely sure that we will be able to invite people to join."

Xu Ji nodded.

He is also well aware of this.

So I also prepared an alternative after both of them refused.
