Chapter 6: Low salary, high acting skills, the actor must be in trouble!
One of the cancers with the highest mortality rate.
One of the most painful cancers.
Su Yang, who relied on the system, survived for five years, and in these five years, no one except his attending doctor knew about it.
Only occasionally, Su Yang would faint in pain on the set.
Now, dragged to the advanced stage of bone cancer.
If "Manslaughter" does not reach the box office of one billion, it means that he only has 91 days left to live.
Small life potion, when the system was not yet opened, Su Yang had obtained it twice, once when he shot a movie for the first time, the system rewarded him for forcibly renewing his life.
Another time was when he successfully shot fifty movies, he was rewarded again with a small bottle of life potion to continue his life.
This small life elixir can be used to extend life for a year.
Within a year, the pain can be relieved.
But after a year, the condition will continue to worsen.
And because of this.
After carrying it for five years, Su Yang now only has 91 days left.
Last 91 days.
In these 91 days, Su Yang must grasp it quickly.
Moreover, after the system is officially opened this time, after the successful filming of the movie, the skills of the director will also be rewarded, and once your own directing skills are excellent, you don't need to cooperate with other directors.
Thinking about this, Su Yang became more determined in his thoughts.
He looked at Zhang Yimou, who was sitting in front of him, and his gaze turned indifferent: "I'm not nervous, this is a script I wrote myself, and I know very well what the level is." ”
Su Yang is very confident in the script of "Manslaughter".
He believes that anyone who reads this script will have to praise it.
Including Zhang Yimou.
As Su Yang expected, after reading the script, Zhang Yimou's heart was already surging!
It's a good drama!
A rare good drama!
Zhang Yimou wanted to pay a high price, buy this script, and then shoot it himself, he is sure that this drama will be popular, and it can even become a god!
And this drama can also take advantage of the trend to launch the movie stars that you are optimistic about, and if you are lucky, you can even win the domestic actor award!
But.
If this drama is filmed by Su Yang, he is worried that it will be made into a bad movie!
Perhaps, Su Yang himself also has this consideration, so he called himself to read the script together.
Thinking of this, the expression on Zhang Yimou's face remained unchanged, but he looked at Su Yang with deep eyes and slowly spoke.
"At the beginning, your father competed with me for seven years, but unfortunately his talent was not as good as mine in terms of directing, so he chose to become a businessman and opened his own film and television company."
"Now, you have lost Xingchen Film and Television, no one blames you, because you forcibly extended your life for five years for the sluggish film and television industry in China, from this point of view, I can even treat you as a peer."
"But I can't, because of your father's relationship with me, I have to tell you the truth."
"This is a good drama, a drama that is enough to be a god."
"Once this drama is filmed, as long as it is filmed well, the response will be absolutely extremely strong, and it will not be difficult to win the top of the box office list of the season."
"But if the shooting is bad, it is a waste of a good subject."
Having said that.
Zhang Yimou didn't say a word to the point.
Su Yang also heard the meaning of his words, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said indifferently: "You want to buy the copyright of this drama and then hand it over to you to film, right?" ”
Zhang Yimou nodded.
Talking to smart people often saves a lot of trouble.
This is one of the reasons why Zhang Yimou is willing to come here.
"I refuse."
Su Yang refused simply, and there was no beating around the bush.
After refusing, Su Yang stood up and walked to the bedside, looking at the moonlight outside the window, quietly distracted.
Meantime.
Zhang Yimou also stood up, chased behind Su Yang, patted him on the shoulder, and spoke: "It's me who is abrupt, but I really can't bear to see this drama destroyed, Xiaoyang, what is your director's level, I know you too well, I know yourself better than you." ”
"You can't make this show feel like you need."
The voice landed.
Su Yang was already standing on the windowsill, and as long as he leaned forward slightly, he would jump down.
This is the third floor of the villa, Su Yang stood on the windowsill on the third floor blowing the evening breeze, in Zhang Yimou's eyes, this scene was really thrilling.
"Uncle, you fought with my dad for seven years, and my dad turned to businessman, but he lost."
"But I want to win you."
"I've made bad movies for five years, which proves that I really don't have a talent for directing, but I also want to use this movie to prove that I can be a genius screenwriter or a genius director."
Su Yang turned around and looked at Zhang Yimou, and there seemed to be starlight in his eyes.
"I, think, be, direct, act."
Su Yang said word by word, and spoke seriously.
"Gotta get it!"
"Isn't it okay for this director to give you! Come down quickly!! ”
Zhang Yimou looked at Su Yang, who was trembling slightly in the evening breeze, and couldn't help but feel anxious, for fear that Su Yang would accidentally fall downstairs.
"Hahahaha!"
"You're scared!"
Su Yang laughed: "I'm penniless now, I'm not afraid of anything." ”
"So, uncle, you are the assistant director of this drama, and when the movie is released, if the quality is excellent, if the box office breaks 100 million, what will others think?"
"Others will think, look at that waste Su Yang, isn't he just relying on his own connections? Isn't it just relying on himself to know Zhang Yimou? Can he make such a good drama? That must be the good of director Zhang Yimou! ”
"You see, this drama has nothing to do with me in the end."
"I'm just hanging on the director's name, but all the praise will fall on your head."
"Uncle, you don't lose this deal."
Su Yang's voice suddenly softened.
There is no more sharpness just now.
But his eyes are still as resolute as before.
He knows very well what he will face next, and he knows how much reputation he has ruined in five years.
But there are some things that have to be done.
From 0 to 1, the most important thing is to take that step, not to step on the shoulders of giants, look at the scenery in the distance, and then proudly say: I can see what you can't see.
Only when you are penniless can you see people and ghosts clearly.
"That's what you said."
Zhang Yimou's old face turned red, and he also knew that even if he was the assistant director of this drama, it would definitely not be a loss.
Even the reputation will fall on one's head.
But.
It made him feel guilty.
This feeling is difficult to compensate for with money.
……
In the study, there was silence.
Su Yang and Zhang Yimou sat across the sofa, looking at each other, but Zhang Yimou was the first to speak.
"When will this show start filming?"
"Anytime."
Su Yang took a sip of coffee, reminiscent of bitterness.
"As long as you find the right actor, the sooner the better."
Time is running out.
Can't afford it.
91 days, one day less than one day of delay.
"The male protagonist is finalized?"
Looking at Su Yang's eyes, Zhang Yimou was a little surprised.
"It's done."
Su Yang nodded, the actor must be Xiao Yan, firstly because of his low salary, and secondly because he was originally the actor of "Manslaughter".
At the same time, because of this drama, Xiao Yan's acting skills are gods!
This drama made him successfully transform from a singer to an actor, and it was also this drama that let everyone see Xiao Yan's acting skills.
The salary is low, and the acting skills are high.
Is there a more suitable candidate than Xiao Zhen?
