Lin Ruxue wanted to invest in "Manslaughter", and Lin Shu was of course happy.

It's not because this movie can make money, no matter how much the company makes money, it doesn't have his share.

The main reason is that the company has invested money in the movie, which is equivalent to the company's participation in disguise.

If something unpleasant happens with the crew, the company is better off coming forward.

Of course, it's best if this doesn't happen.

For more than a week that followed, Lin Shu barely came to the company again.

Most of his time, he spends two things, practicing calligraphy and finger playing.

In terms of calligraphy, after more than 20 days of continuous writing, it is almost the same as that of professional calligraphy enthusiasts.

It's a bit difficult to go any further.

But later, he could clearly feel that he had not made much progress after writing for several days.

But he didn't give up outright.

Calligraphy, like martial arts, requires constant practice.

Maybe one day, we will be able to change from quantitative change to qualitative change.

As for finger flicks.

His level is roughly the same as that of an amateur, and there is still a big gap between him and a true fingerstyle master.

Until now, the time he has put on the practice has not been ten days.

I am quite satisfied to be so skilled.

It is worth mentioning that the matter of "cross-era" investment has also been negotiated.

The total investment in "Manslaughter" is 250 million, and the company invests 50 million, accounting for 8% of the box office.

This may seem unreasonable, but it's not.

Film income is first subject to a 3.3% business tax and a 5% special fund for film business.

Excluding these two things, the remaining cinema chain shares 57%, and the producer and issuer account for 43%.

"Cross-generational" investment belongs to the producer, which can account for 8%, strictly speaking, which is not small.

If "cross-era" has its own theater, it will naturally earn more.

Sadly, not at the moment!

Early March!

Lin Shu took his little assistant Guo Ke, and under the reception of the crew, he came to the familiar hotel.

Why do you say familiar.

Because of the last filming of "Kill the Wolf 2", I stayed in this hotel.

Even at the front desk of the hotel, when Lin Shu registered the information, he chatted very enthusiastically about the topic of the last time.

After a perfunctory sentence, Lin Shu came to the luxuriously decorated reception room, and his luggage was handed over to Guo Ke.

Walking into the room, Ke Wen, who was sitting on the main seat, immediately stood up.

"Lin Shu, sit down first!"

"Good!"

Waiting for Lin Shu to sit down on the chair, Ke Wen coughed lightly:

"There is a very important actor who doesn't know when he will come for the time being, the crew will start shooting tomorrow, I discussed it with Director Ke, and I plan to shoot your plot first, you see ......"

As a director for the first time, he is still a little unaccustomed to the change of identity, and will always subconsciously ask the actors' opinions.

If it is an experienced director, it will generally be arranged directly.

"Absolutely." Lin Shu blurted out.

"Good!"

Seeing that Lin Shu agreed, Ke Wen picked up the script on the table.

Then, as if he had thought of something, he spoke again:

"One more thing, the investment in this movie is very large, and when filming later, Director Chen will help make some suggestions, which you should be able to accept!"

"Yes!"

The film "Manslaughter" invested more than 200 million, and the entertainment company behind Ke Wen naturally did not worry about handing over the movies to him alone.

Chen Sicheng finished filming "Chinatown Detective 2" last year, and now he happens to be free, so it is understandable for him to come over and stare at the point.

The arrival of Chen Sicheng will nothing more than make the filming more rigorous, but this is not a bad thing.

The film requirements are stricter, and the finished film is more attractive to the audience.

"Hmmm! There's nothing else to do for the time being, but the "family" in your movie has already gotten off the plane, and you can get to know each other later, so that we can work together more tacitly in the future. ”

After making peace, Lin Shu walked to the sofa on the side, thinking about the script.

He played Li Weijie, a middle-aged man, in "Manslaughter".

He doesn't have to worry about the appearance, the props team will help him get it out.

The only thing to consider is acting.

Li Weijie is an ordinary person with a kind heart and a deep love for his family.

is a little different from others, that is, most of his leisure time is spent watching suspense movies.

This is also the biggest reason why he can get his family out of suspicion.

The overall story of the movie is very simple, the daughter accidentally smashed Su Cha and mistakenly thought that she would kill her.

So the mother and daughter buried it in a coffin at a neighbor's house.

After learning this truth, Li Weijie used the knowledge of the movies he had seen to construct a series of perfect alibi.

At the end of the story, he achieves his purpose.

It's just that out of guilt in his heart, his youngest daughter learned to deceive and other reasons, he chose to turn himself in.

The ending of the story is not deliberate, in fact, at the beginning of the movie, a certain metaphor is used to foreshadow Li Weijie's final choice.

From this alone, it is enough to see that Chen Sicheng and Ke Wen have put a lot of effort into this adapted movie.

And the choice of movie background is also very good.

At the beginning, Lin Shu simply thought that Chen Sicheng and Ke Wen were trying to pass the trial.

It wasn't until I watched some legal videos some time ago that I realized that it was more than that.

If the movie lets go of Huaxia, in the words of the teacher "Zhang San".

A mother and a daughter beat a strong gangster to death, which is called justifiable defense in criminal law theory.

No matter how bad it is, it is manslaughter.

If this is the case, Li Weijie helped his family hide it, and the explanation is a bit far-fetched.

But in Siam, this practice can be said to be in the past.

It didn't take long!

The other actors came to the reception room one after another.

In the movie, the role of Li Weijie's wife is an actress named Tan Zhu.

She has worked as an announcer, presenter, and reporter.

After discovering that she could go to different places to film as an actor, and she could also use her work as a tour, she gradually transformed into an actor.

Although she is a halfway monk, her acting skills are not bad, and even compared with her professional background, she is not far behind.

As for the one who came in with her, there was a little girl with big eyes and a cute look, who looked like she was only five or six years old.

Her name is Zhang Xiran, and she plays An An in the movie, that is, Li Weijie's youngest daughter.

The little girl looked at the reception room curiously, not at all unaccustomed to the unfamiliarity of the environment.

Walking up to Lin Shu, she covered her mouth and exclaimed, "You are the brother in the suit, I like you very much!" ”

"Thank you!" Lin Shu smiled and beckoned.

"Are you playing my dad in the movie?"

"Yes!"

may be good-looking and well-behaved children, but they can attract inexplicable favor.

Lin Shu answered her question, with a smile on his face all the time, and he spoke softly.

"Then can you put on a suit and take a picture with me?" The little girl continued.

"Why do I want to wear a suit!" Lin Shu asked with a smile.

"Because mom said you look better in a suit, huh...... I think so too! ”

The little girl's childlike words made the woman standing behind her a little embarrassed.

After glancing at her, Lin Shu rubbed the little girl's head: "The crew has a start-up banquet in the evening, and I will come over in a suit to take a photo with you when the time comes, okay!" ”

"Okay!"

The little girl nodded emphatically, and her eyes were curled to add a little cuteness.

After a brief chat with the little girl, Lin Shu and Tan Zhu also said hello.

Through chatting, he found that Tanzhu's personality is more extroverted and not a difficult person to get along with.

almost understood the two cooperating actors clearly, and Lin Shu also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Around seven o'clock in the evening!

After receiving the message from Ke Wen, Lin Shu changed into a suit and walked towards the hall downstairs.

After all, I made an agreement with Miss Zhang Xiran, and some domestic media were invited to the start-up banquet, so I still need to be formal.

Just after stepping out of the elevator, some reporters who were already sitting in their seats rushed towards him.

"Mr. Lin Shu, why did you take this movie!"

"I heard that Director Ke took the initiative to invite you to play the leading role, is this true?"

"Do you fancy this movie because this character is as bright as "Gao Jin"? ”

……

was reluctantly questioned by so many reporters, which really made Lin Shu a little unaccustomed for a while.

But their behavior is understandable.

Lin Shu has really been popular during this time, and until now, he has not been interviewed publicly.

"Hmm...... When the banquet is over, I'll answer your questions, so let's sit down! ”

Coming out of the middle of the reporters, Lin Shu nodded to Ke Wen, who was sitting at the main table, and then sat down beside him.

"Brother!" A whispering voice came.

On the table next to her, Zhang Xiran's little aunt was talking and looking at Lin Shu with her eyes open.

Noticing her gaze, Lin Shu immediately understood what she meant.

After greeting a few investors at the main table, he walked up to the little girl.

"Mom is coming along, too!"

"Good!"

With the little girl taking a few photos, Lin Shu slowly stood up.

Just as he was about to return to the main table, the little girl suddenly said something that surprised him.

"Hmmm! It's so good, it looks like it's really a family! ”

"Little girl, do you know what your father said?"

After complaining silently in his heart, Lin Shu returned to the main table with a strange expression.

There were a total of twelve seats at the main table, and in addition to Lin Shu, Ke Wen and Tan Zhuo, there were also seven other men and women in different costumes.

Among them, Lin Shu is more familiar, it is Chen Yaoming, who helped him upgrade his contract before!

Chen Yaoming appeared on the table, and it was basically not difficult to guess the identities of the others, and it was very likely that they were representatives sent by major investment companies.

And the subsequent mutual introductions also confirmed his guess.

Looking at the still vacant position, he leaned on Ke Wen and asked softly, "Director Ke, is there still anyone who hasn't arrived?" ”

Ke Wen glanced at the others and whispered in Lin Shu's ear: "It's reserved for Director Chen and Sister Chen Xian, but they ate on the plane, so we don't have to wait." ”

"Okay!"

Seeing that everyone was almost here, Ke Wen stood up with a wine glass:

"Thank you for coming to the kick-off banquet of "Manslaughter" in your busy schedule, and I hope that in the future filming cycle, everyone will have a happy cooperation!"

"Friends from the media, eat and drink well!"

Fall with a bang!

Everyone stood up with their glasses raised.

Even Zhang Xiran, who was biting a big elbow, raised the juice with his small hand.

"Lin Shu, I'll give you a drink!"

As soon as he sat down, Chen Yaoming, who was opposite, immediately filled his cup.

"Okay, but I'm going to film tomorrow, I'm ......"

"It's okay, I understand, you just mean it!"

After nodding, the two happily clinked glasses on the table.

"Come on, come on, I also salute Mr. Chen, your "cross-era" is a treasure, Lin Shu is such a good actor, you can find it. ”

"It's a fluke, it's all Mr. Lin's guidance!"

"Director Ke, I wish you a big box office hit!"

……

Everyone was touting it, and the overall atmosphere of the banquet was very harmonious.

An hour later, Ke Wen walked to the stage with a group of leading actors, ready to be interviewed by reporters.

In the audience, a reporter with headline entertainment held the microphone and asked:

"Director Ke, I heard that Lin Shu was contacted by you on your own initiative, what was the reason why you finally chose him among so many actors!"

"Hmm...... If I say it's not because of his fame, you won't believe it. Ke Wen glanced at Lin Shu and smiled mysteriously: "But when the movie is released, Lin Shu's acting skills will definitely surprise you." ”

After returning to the headline reporter's question, Ke Wen immediately clicked on another one.

"Director Ke, I want to ask Mr. Lin Shu a question!"

Hearing this, Ke Wen immediately handed the microphone to Lin Shu.

"Mr. Lin Shu, I don't know what you think of the current film and television environment!"

"I don't have any ideas, all I can do is play my role well and be worthy of the audience, that's all!"

"Okay, based on the previous revelations from the crew, fans think you are very dedicated and hope you can take care of your body, what do you want to say to fans about this?"

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Shu said in a deep voice: "I don't have anything to say. ”

"Why are you ......?"

The reporter looked at Lin Shu puzzled.

At this time, shouldn't you take it down and promise fans that they will take good care of their bodies?

So unusual?

"As an actor, isn't it right to be dedicated to filming?

I get a salary of millions, if I can't even do the most basic things as an actor, what else will I film.

I suggest that those fans who care about my body should take good care of their families when they have this time. ”

Lin Shu didn't understand it very much.

Fans don't care about the health of their families, but they come to care about him, a second-tier star.

Workers on the construction site are not hard?

Sanitation workers on the road on a hot day are not hard?

Besides, compared with what you have gained, the hard work of filming is nothing.

Fall with a bang!

The whole hall resounded with thunderous applause.

When the applause gradually subsided, a neutral voice sounded.

"Well said!"

At the door, a middle-aged woman with short hair and a capable look was the first to walk in from outside the hotel.

On her left is a girl with an eight-point resemblance to her eyes, and on the other side is Chen Sicheng, the producer of "Manslaughter".

The middle-aged woman led by is the actor of La Yun - Chen Chen!

Chen Xun is very famous in the movie.

Since her debut, she has won countless film festival awards, and because her achievements are too high, the film organizing committee directly designated her as a lifelong judge.

When the reporter asked a question just now, she happened to walk in with her daughter and Chen Sicheng.

But she didn't say anything, but stood silently at the door and waited.

She wanted to see how Lin Shu, a new actor who has recently become famous, would answer reporters' questions.

Originally, she thought that Lin Shu would take care of the emotions of fans and say some scenes.

Outcome......

When he came to the stage, Chen Wei patted Lin Shu's shoulder with great appreciation: "It's very good, I hope you can persevere." ”

"I will!"

Chen Xian's attitude made Lin Shu a little flattered.

What kind of person is Chen Xian!

That's the actress who is second only to the international chapter in terms of awards.

can get the praise of such a senior actor, how can he calm down in his heart.

After a commotion, the media turned its attention to Chen.

"Sister Yin, you are playing the second female lead in this movie, what is the reason why you are willing to match others!"

"There's no reason, I just think I like the role of La Yun more!"

"I see that you seem to appreciate Lin Shu very much, what do you think of his acting skills!"

"Gao Jin, who has watched Lin Shu's performance, has great acting skills!"

"My daughter joined the group "Manslaughter" this time, was she influenced by you?"
