Chapter 71: The Big Shot
After graduation, Wang Xiaoshuai was assigned to Hu Jian Film Studio, resigned after two years, and became an independent director; Lou Ye was assigned to Shanghai TV after graduation, but he didn't even report for duty, and he was an independent director; After graduating, Senior Lu was assigned to the director's office of Beijing Film Studio, and has been working honestly until now.
The next morning, Li Tang and Nai An drove to Beijing Film Studio, knocked on the door of the director's room, and it was a young woman who opened the door, and was stunned when she saw Li Tang: "Li Tang...... Uh, brother! ”
Li Tang looked at this familiar face and said in surprise: "You are Li ......"
"Li Min!"
"Yes, yes, Ma Yili's classmate, Li Min! Long time no see. Li Tang said busily.
This young woman is Li Tang is junior sister, and she is level 94 in the drama performance department.
"Senior brother, I have changed my name now, my name is Li Jiaxuan." Li Jiaxuan said with a smile.
"Oh, that's a nice name."
Compared with the mediocre Li Min, the name Li Jiaxuan is obviously more fresh and refined, and it is bookish, which is easier to remember.
Actors, in addition to their appearance, must be recognizable, in fact, the name is also very important, it must also be recognizable, and it must be catchy.
"Are you assigned here?" Li Tang asked again.
Li Jiaxuan was slightly embarrassed, and said a little embarrassed: "No, I'm here to help, temporarily acting as Director Lu's assistant." ”
"Jiaxuan, who's it?"
At this time, Senior Lu came out when he heard the voice.
"Senior, it's me."
"Director Lu!"
"Ness! Li Tang! Oh, welcome, welcome. ”
Senior Lu was very surprised to see Nai An and Li Tang, and while inviting them to enter the door, he also complained to Li Jiaxuan: "Why don't you invite guests into the house?" ”
"Director Lu, I ......"
"Director Lu, me and Li ...... Well, Li Jiaxuan is a classmate, and he was just catching up. Li Tang hurriedly helped explain.
"Yes, yes, yes, you're all on the show. Hey, I received the package I sent you last time, right? ”
"Well, got it. Today, Sister Ney and I came here just for the sake of the show. ”
Li Tang said and specially introduced: "Sister Nai An is my agent." ”
"yes, if I knew this, I would have given the script to Ney Ann directly."
It's the first time that Senior Lu has heard that Nai An is actually Li Tang's agent.
Ne An also smiled: "So I came to talk to you today on behalf of Li Tang." ”
Senior Lu smiled bitterly: "I'm most afraid of dealing with you agents." ”
"Don't worry, Li Tang has already agreed to take over this role, and you will be paid fairly, we don't plan to increase the price, just come over and take a look at the contract first."
Hearing Nai An say this, Senior Lu breathed a sigh of relief. After taking a seat, Li Jiaxuan was busy making tea for everyone.
Senior Lu pointed to Li Jiaxuan and introduced to Li Tang: "Jiaxuan plays Yanzi, Lei Haiyang's ex-girlfriend, since the two of you know each other, it's best." ”
Li Jiaxuan served the tea and said with a smile: "It's rare to have the opportunity to ask my senior brother for advice." ”
"No, let's learn from each other." Li Tang hurriedly said, he didn't dare to hold it up.
This girl is not simple at all, as early as when she was in school, she played the female lead in a main theme movie produced by the movie channel.
Although it was only a small-budget TV movie, after all, there were more wolves and less meat in these years, and it was at least a little strong to be able to stand out from many candidates.
After everyone greeted each other for a while, Senior Lu and Nai An went to the back room to discuss the details of the contract, and Li Tang chatted with Li Jiaxuan.
Li Tang was very surprised to hear that Li Jiaxuan was still drifting north, after all, this girl's starting point is quite high, and she played the female number one during school, so it stands to reason that it should be easy to find a public institution for a literary and artistic group.
Li Jiaxuan said helplessly: "Our session is the most unlucky, just stuck in the first year after the education reform, there is no relationship at all, you can't enter a serious unit at all, you can only find your own way!" ”
In the original 97 years of education reform, in addition to the expansion of university enrollment, the state completely abolished the graduation distribution system. In fact, the pilot began as early as 95, from 95 to 97 was a transitional stage, and by 98 it was directly one-size-fits-all. In this way, Li Tang and their graduation in 97 are lucky.
"So you're in the group early?"
Before Li Jiaxuan said that he was a temporary assistant to Senior Lu, and then Senior Lu said that she was one of the actors, to be exact, the second female lead, Li Tang felt a little strange at the time, but when he saw that Senior Lu was not fake to Li Jiaxuan, and he had a very good impression of Senior Lu, he didn't think about it crookedly.
Unexpectedly, he asked casually, but Li Jiaxuan was obviously a little twisted and said: "After the last audition was successful, I saw that Director Lu was very busy here, and I thought that I would be idle when I was idle, so I would help and learn something from Director Lu by the way." ”
Seeing this, the first word that popped up in Li Tang's mind was actually "red sofa".
Then I felt that it was inappropriate, it was too red.
After all, in these years, actresses have married directors, or have a lot of good relations with directors, from the earliest and most famous Gong Li and Zhang Yimou, and later Xu Fan married Director Feng; Chen Hong married Chen Dadao; Jiang Wenli married Gu Changwei and so on.
It is not easy to drift north, and finding a potential director has both reliance and acting, killing two birds with one stone, which is also a shortcut to success. Of course, it is not excluded that some sensual actresses are completely attracted by the director's talent.
"Li Tang, happy cooperation!"
"Happy cooperation, Director Lu!"
The details of the contract have been negotiated, Li Tang can simply sign it, and Senior Lu has to add the official seal and the legal representative to sign because it is a movie produced by Beiying, but it has basically been finalized.
From Li Tang's point of view, I like to cooperate with a director like Senior Lu, as long as he understands the script thoroughly, there is a high probability that there will be no accidents during the shooting.
It's just that Nell was in a hurry when she went out, and it wasn't until she got into the car downstairs that she showed her annoyance and said: "We suffered a loss this time, the restructuring of the Beijing Film Studio has been completed, and it is estimated that the establishment of China Film Group will be announced in a few days." If we knew that this was the case, we should have raised the quotation, and it was not a big problem to increase it by 30,000 or 50,000 yuan. ”
There have been rumors before that several units such as the former China Film Co., Ltd., Beijing Film Studio, Children's Studio, and Printing Factory will merge to form China's largest film company.
The so-called restructuring refers to business restructuring, asset integration, and property rights system reform. Reflected in the specific project, it means that there is money, or there is more money, appropriately raise the offer, as long as it is not excessive, the producer should not refuse.
Thirty or fifty thousand does not seem to be much, but it means that the coffee position will be improved, and if you find Li Tang to make a movie in the future, it is not tens of thousands of dollars, but more than 100,000 yuan, and there is a project proofing of China Film.
And after winning the Huabiao Award this time, Li Tang's salary can rise again on the basis of this 100,000 yuan. It is equivalent to pulling a hair and moving the whole body.
If you calculate it here, the loss is not only the 350,000, but the 100,000 or 200,000, or even more.
However, Li Tang is still very open to this, compared with Hollywood's tens of millions of dollars in salary, and the so-called "20 million club", this is only the salary and does not include the bulk of the box office dividends. What is this more than 100,000 or 200,000 yuan now? In the memory of the previous life, China will be the world's second largest box office market in the future, and it will naturally rise at that time.
Thinking about the opera brother Ning Li who met in his previous life and ate soft rice in the United States, he became prosperous soon after returning to China, compared with the bitter state in the United States, it is a world of difference.
Nai An thought for a while, and then said: "Oh yes, on the day of the Huabiao Award ceremony, Han Sanping, the director of the factory...... Well, next time I guess I will have to call Mr. Han, Mr. Han will definitely participate, he is the producer of this play, and I will introduce you to Mr. Han when the time comes, and leave a good impression on Mr. Han. This will be our God of Wealth in the future! ”
Li Tang understands that this Mr. Han is a big man in Hollywood's terms, and even a bigger big man than the so-called "Big Six" bosses in Hollywood.
