Although Zhou Cheng and Chu Ran said that they would not relax their requirements for the role because of Teacher Huang Lei's intercession, in fact, when they really arrived at the dinner table, this requirement would still be loosened.

This is something that can't be helped, what China pays attention to is a human relationship.

Therefore, Zhou Cheng will set a bottom line for himself, and the bottom line is the principle, which cannot be moved. Then, on the basis of the principle, adjust it a little more, this is the standard for Zhou Cheng to treat people, and this standard is Zhou Cheng's floating line.

If everything is above the standard, then everyone is happy. If it is above the bottom line under the standard, it depends on how much favor and interest the other party can use to exchange.

This time, it was not only Teacher Huang Lei's favor, but also Cui Xinqin's favor, plus Zhu Yilong's performance was really abnormal as Teacher Cui said, Zhou Cheng didn't mind giving him another chance.

"Brother Li, that's the way it is, give him three days to familiarize himself with the script, if the performance is really not good, then we will consider a replacement."

"Yes, anyway, the role of Zhou Tienan has not been determined. We'll start rehearsals in September, so there's still time. ”

Chen Li had no objection to Zhou Cheng's arrangement. The two had a tacit understanding from the beginning, Zhou Cheng was responsible for the casting of young actors, and Chen Li was the old actors to communicate. It's just that the recruitment of young actors is nearing the end, and these old actors have not yet been completely won.

"I've read your script, and I like the role of Principal Sun very much."

An elegant tea room located near Ditan Park, a total of three people. Chen Li sat respectfully on the other side of the tea case, and when he heard the man's words, he understood that he would definitely have a turn, so Chen Li didn't answer, looked at the middle-aged man on the main seat and waited for him to continue.

"It's just that your script doesn't dig enough into the role of the principal, this is a very in-depth character, in addition to his superficial hypocrisy, he has more hidden evil ......"

While making tea in an orderly manner according to his own steps, from boiling water, selecting tea, warming the pot, and washing tea, the man did a set of kung fu smoothly, without the slightest sloppiness, while telling Chen Li his views.

After the man finished speaking, Chen Li flattered and said: "Mr. Huang is worthy of being a recognized performing artist in the circle, I have heard that you have a deep understanding of the characters in the script before, and it is indeed worthy of your reputation when I see it today." ”

"It's all false names." The man waved his hand casually, and the slightly raised corners of his mouth still showed that his praise of Chen Li was very useful: "Drink tea, this is an authentic old banzhang, and you can't usually drink it outside." ”

The man poured out a total of six small cups, except for him and Chen Li, and it was his agent who sat on the side. The man handed them two of them.

"Thank you, Mr. Huang, I can also get some light today." Chen Li took a small cup of tea handed by the man with both hands, and learned from the man to drink it all, except for the bitterness with a hint of sweetness, there was nothing special about it. But Chen Li's face still showed aftertaste, and he gave the man a thumbs up and praised: "Good tea, Mr. Huang's tea is worthy of being the best." ”

"If you like it, let's have another drink." The man handed another small cup to Chen Li.

Chen Li took it with both hands, but did not continue to drink, but looked at the man and said the main topic: "Teacher Huang, I don't know if you will take this play?" ”

"Teacher Huang can take it, but you have to promise us a few conditions." The man didn't answer, and the agent sitting next to him suddenly interjected. Chen Li looked at the middle-aged man, he just looked at himself coldly, and did not blame the agent's interjection, understanding that this should be his condition.

Chen Li was stunned by him, and several people finalized a total of three actors to play the role of Principal Sun. Teacher Li Guangfu was the first one he visited, but he didn't expect that the other party had already taken over a TV series and couldn't stagger the time. Hou Dali was taking his family on vacation in Europe at this time, and he didn't see anyone at all. Teacher Huang Teng, the only one who was in contact, was a little domineering.

"First of all, the role of the principal needs to be adjusted, this remote school was initiated by the principal, and it was also the principal's idea to use a donkey to get water and get a salary, and even let the coppersmith pretend to be a donkey to get water was also proposed by the principal first, so the role of the principal must be aggravated, dig into the inner emotions of the principal's role, and become the protagonist......"

-------------------------------------

Yenching Film Academy, Zhou Cheng was silent when he listened to Chen Li's relay, but he didn't interrupt Chen Li's words, but asked him to continue.

In addition to the need to revise the script, Mr. Huang's agent also said that the salary of his drama can be given according to the standard of the theater, but the salary of the film cannot be less than 1.2 million, and he will not be able to explain to his company if it is lower. And this is the price after a 7% discount. ”

"One million and two million, why didn't he rob it?" Even Chu Ran was a little dissatisfied when he heard this, looked at Zhou Cheng, who didn't speak, and continued to ask Chen Li: "He won't have any other requirements, right?" ”

"Teacher Huang asked for his son to play the role of Zhou Tienan. In Mr. Huang's words, the father and son appeared together in a play, which was also a gimmick, and it also promoted our later publicity. When relaying this condition, Chen Lidu felt a little excessive: "His son's salary is 300,000 yuan. That is, the total salary of the two of them is 1.5 million. ”

"Topaz Mountain?" Chu Ran asked in surprise, seeing Chen Li nodding and Zhou Cheng with a blank face, he explained to him: "This is a student of the 03 level of Chinese opera acting department, who is about the same size as me, and I don't know how to act." can be regarded as a popular figure in school, I heard that he and Zhang Mo also had a fight because of a girl. ”

"Zhang Mo? The son of teacher Zhang Guoli? Zhou Cheng asked in surprise, it doesn't seem that the development of another world is like this.

"Yes, that's him." Chu Ran continued: "It is said that these two people are currently chasing Yang Luyao, and they are not good birds, a pair of garbage. ”

"Hehe, Chu Ye is so angry, did he lose to them?" Gu Xintong looked at Chu Ran's indignant appearance, and teased, now she has gradually integrated into this small group.

"Master Chu, can I lose to them? Master Chu, I rely on my talent to pick up girls. ”

"That is, if Chu Ye relies on banknotes to open the way, which girl is not handy." Zhou Cheng echoed, looked at Gu Xintong with a disapprehensive expression, and then added: "Brother Tong, you are an exception, we don't treat you as a girl." ”

"Cut, I don't like him either." Gu Xintong replied unconvinced.

After a few people teased for a while, Zhou Cheng looked at Chen Li and continued to ask, "Does he have any other requirements?" ”

"Isn't that enough?" Gu Xintong on the side couldn't listen to it anymore: "Revise the script, pay a high salary, and bring people into the group, he has accounted for all of them." ”

Zhou Cheng shook his head and smiled at Gu Xintong: "You must know that our filming is also a business, actors earn money by acting, and it is not too much to ask for a high salary." ”

Gu Xintong asked unconvinced: "Then what about revising the script and bringing people into the group?" ”

"As long as his suggestions are reasonable, it's not a problem to revise the script, and it's good to listen to the advice of some older artists. As for bringing people into the group, as long as the actors are suitable, there is no problem. When Zhou Cheng heard Chen Li's relays just now, he didn't have too many other emotions, but was very calm. Different from Chu Ran's anger, Zhou Cheng instead thought that Huang Teng's request was normal, if he didn't mention a request, it would be abnormal to directly agree to act, and it was even more worthy of vigilance.

"You're not angry at all?" Gu Xintong asked in surprise, and Chu Ran and the others on the side also looked at Zhou Cheng.

"One point, mainly because he doesn't respect Brother Li very much and looks down on our project." Zhou Cheng's answer surprised several people.

After listening to Zhou Cheng's words, Chen Li hurriedly waved his hand: "It's okay to look down on me, after all, I am a newcomer and I haven't proven myself yet." ”

Zhou Cheng disagreed with Chen Li's opinion: "Even if you are a newcomer, you are also a director, and respecting the director is a quality that an actor must have." ”

"In addition to being angry that he treats Brother Li with disrespect, you are not angry at all about his other requests?" Gu Xintong still didn't believe that Zhou Cheng had such a big bearing.

"You're angry because you're standing at a different angle. You're now representing the producer, so you're thinking about the producer's interests. After Zhou Cheng answered Gu Xintong's question, he continued: "In the future, when you become an agent, you will also encounter such problems when negotiating with other producers. You won't think that way then. ”

Gu Xintong was unconvinced and said: "I won't open my mouth like him." ”

"That only means that you are not qualified." Zhou Cheng shook his head: "This circle pays attention to asking for money on the spot. Don't reveal your bottom line at will, and pay attention to negotiation skills. Talk about success, talk about not dissipation. Everyone is in the same circle, and there is no cooperation in this play, maybe the next play will be cooperated. ”

At this time, Gu Xintong really understood that Zhou Cheng was not angry, and said to Zhou Cheng convincingly: "Understood." Thank you, Brother Cheng. ”

"Let's just forget it?" Chu Ran looked at Zhou Cheng in surprise.

"Of course, we can't forget it, we can't solve it head-on, we have to find a way to solve the problem from the side." Zhou Cheng took out an invitation card from the drawer and said to Chen Li: "The premiere of Jiang Wen's "The Sun Also Rises" the day after tomorrow. I heard that Mr. Huang Teng will also attend this premiere, so I'll talk to him, if I can't talk about it, forget it. ”

"This invitation was sent by Taihe Media?" Chu Ran looked at the envelope outside the invitation: "I'm afraid that Zhou Kaiwen will also talk to you about Jia Yue." ”

"Just one thing to solve." Zhou Cheng smiled, looked at Gu Xintong, who was hot-eyed, and said, "Brother Tong, are you interested in attending the premiere with my female companion?" ”

"Me?" Gu Xintong pointed at himself in disbelief, his eyes full of surprise.

"Of course it's you, I can't go to the premiere with a big man." Zhou Cheng stretched out his hand and pushed Chu Ran's head aside.

"Cut, Master Chu is not rare yet, Master Chu will take the driver's license test the day after tomorrow, I must take her down this time." Chu Ran pouted at Zhou Cheng disdainfully.

"Hey, your expression is too obscene......"
