Chapter 88: Enter the group "The Legend of the Demon Cat"!
This time I received "The Legend of the Demon Cat", relying on the company's resources.
According to the contract signed by the third-tier artist, Lin Shu only got forty percent, and the money was not as much as the previous play.
But this can't be compared simply with money.
Although the money is less, Lin Shu's offer in the circle has also increased a lot.
Chen Kaige is indeed very famous in the circle, but it is impossible for him to give high salaries to actors casually.
On the contrary, the more famous the director, the lower the actor's salary.
It's not that the director deliberately lowers the price, but that some actors don't hesitate to star in a movie with a famous director at zero cost.
Lin Shu only played a small supporting role in "The Legend of the Demon Cat", but he still had a salary of one million.
If you cooperate with other directors in the future, the salary will not be low.
In the following days, Lin Shu did not go to the company.
"Cross-generational" artists, when they don't have a job, there is no explicit rule that they must go.
In Lin Shu's understanding, if there is no explicit provision, it means that there is no need to go.
What's more, no one has invited him to attend the event until now, and if he goes to the company, it is a pastime for a whole day, so it is better to rest at home.
More than ten days passed, and in a blink of an eye, it came to December 9th.
According to the terms of the contract, Lin Shu will rush to the crew tomorrow.
In order not to be in too much of a hurry, he decided to go early.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, he and Guo Ke got on the plane to Xiangyang.
At this time, in the crew of "The Legend of the Demon Cat", a middle-aged actor who always has a smile on his face is resting on a chair.
"Lin Shu is coming over tomorrow, and I don't know why Mr. Cao cares so much about this young man."
"An actor who mixes out of a group performance has no reason at all!"
The actor muttering to himself on the chair is Tian Yu, an artist from Xinlidu, and the actor of Gao Lishi in "The Legend of the Demon Cat".
It's just that before coming to the crew to film, Cao Yi explained something to him and asked him to have a good relationship with Lin Shu in the crew.
Cao Yi didn't say the specific situation, but Tian Yu guessed that he might want him to test Lin Shu to see if he had the potential to become popular.
But in the past two days, he asked his friends in the circle to help inquire, but he heard that Lin Shu was just a group performer before.
This confused him a little.
Is there anything worth noting about a group performance from Hengdian?
If you don't understand, you don't understand, Tian Yu is still ready to have a chance to chat with Lin Shu, and the people who can't help but be the second Wang Baobao.
"Teacher Tian, I'm ready to film!"
Hearing the shouts of the staff on the side, Tian Yu patted his ass and stood up with a smile.
When he changed into an official uniform and appeared on the set again, his momentum was completely different from before.
More than ten minutes later!
Chen Kaige, who was sitting in front of the monitor, finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Before, he was worried about whether there would be problems with Tian Yu's acting skills.
Now it seems that he is a little overly worried, Cao Yi is still quite reliable in the choice of actors.
Think about it too.
As the largest investor of "The Legend of the Demon Cat", Cao Yi cannot be stupid enough to let the company's artists brush their faces, which will lead to a decline in the quality of the movie.
In the final analysis, the ultimate purpose of investing in movies is to make money.
In the following hours, the crew filmed step by step.
On the other hand, after Lin Shu arrived in Xiangyang, he called the crew.
just got into the car sent by the crew, but he saw a very unexpected person.
"Sister Chen, why are you here!"
The Sister Chen in Lin Shu's mouth is not Chen Manni, but Chen Hong, the producer of "The Legend of the Demon Cat".
Generally speaking, unless it is a good relationship, it is impossible for the producer to come and pick it up in person, at most it is to send an assistant.
But Lin Shu has only seen Chen Hong in total until now, so he is naturally not very familiar.
"I heard that the assistant said that you are coming, and I just want to buy something, so I will come and pick you up by the way."
Lin Shu obviously didn't believe Chen Hong's words, but he didn't take the initiative to break it.
Before Chen Hong's purpose is clarified, it is best not to say anything.
"Excuse me!"
"In the past few days, because of filming, Lao Chen's temper is not very good, so he should come out to breathe." Chen Hong said with a smile.
Seeing that Lin Shu's face was a little confused, she then explained: "You also know that some actors can refuse if they don't want to, so ......"
"I understand!!" Lin Shu nodded in understanding.
Although Chen Kaige is one of the few great directors in China, some things are not what he wants.
However, compared with ordinary directors, he has many more choices.
No words along the way!
After Chen Hong sent Lin Shu to his destination, he returned to the crew again.
"Did you get Lin Shu?" Chen Kaige put down the script in his hand and said calmly.
"It has been sent to the hotel, and he said that he will come over tomorrow to film."
Chen Kaige bowed slightly, and then seemed to think of something, and then began: "By the way, did you tell him about that!" ”
"How can he come over and talk about business, he has been in the crew for a long time, and I will talk to him later when I have the opportunity." Chen Hong gave him an angry look.
"Yes, but I really don't understand, how did this matter come to the head, can't he go directly to Lin Shu? No matter how bad it is, let Tian Yu be the middleman! ”
After complaining a few words, Chen Kaige's tone froze, and then said, "You say, why does he want to dig Lin Shu?" Isn't Liu Hua better? ”
Chen Hong thought for a while: "Tian Yu and Lin Shu don't know each other now, there must always be a familiar person in the middle to build a bridge!"
As for why Lin Shu was dug up, it may be simply because he wants to be disgusted with the "cross-era". ”
"Not necessarily, it's not that simple for him to do things, but it doesn't have much to do with us, and it's their business to talk about it when the time comes.
Seriously, if it weren't for the fact that I don't have many resources on my side, I would have wanted to dig Lin Shu into our company. ”
"Don't think about it, the "cross-era" one won't let Lin Shu go, and we can't prescribe conditions that make him excited. ”
Although Chen Hong's words were very polite, Chen Kaige did not get angry at all, but nodded with great approval.
"Indeed, there is no comparison with them in terms of resources!"
