Chapter 4: Forcibly adding characters
Gu Qianfan spread out his hands, invited Xia Yuyao to sit down, and looked at her aggressive beauty with interest, "Why?" β
"You don't have any previous screenwriting experience, how can I trust you?"
Hanhai Film and Television is a company that stands at the top of the entertainment industry.
No one has ever dared to negotiate conditions with them, and Xia Yuyao is the first.
Xia Yuyao put the coffee cup on the coffee table and replied generously: "Because I am the one who knows the story best, I will only make you make more money." And I do need a chance to be seen by the outside world. β
"May I take the liberty of asking, what did you do before?"
Gu Qianfan narrowed his eyes, he boasted that he had a pair of discerning eyes, but he couldn't see any information on Xia Yuyao's body. This ignited a curiosity and a strong interest in him.
Xia Yuyao stirred the coffee stick, "Housewife." β
"Ahem." Gu Qianfan almost squirted the coffee in his mouth, "I really admire your frankness and straightforwardness." β
"The contract is ready, and if there are no problems, it can be signed now."
Gu Qianfan asked the legal counsel to modify the terms of the contract according to Xia Yuyao's request, she glanced at it twice, and then photographed it and sent it to Han Ran to confirm that there was no trap clause, and happily dropped her name, she stood up, stretched out her hand and shook hands with Gu Qianfan: "Happy cooperation." β
Dingββ
The work efficiency of Hanhai Group is extremely high, and Xia Yuyao has already received the advance payment as soon as he walked to the elevator.
She raised the curvature of the corners of her lips, and the moment she stepped in, Qiao Ruoxu came out of the elevator next to her, and the two passed by.
In the office, Qiao Ruoxu pushed the door in, Gu Qianfan sat on the desk, and cheered with open arms: "Hi, brother!" Long time no see, miss me? β
"Don't disgust me."
Qiao Ruoxu raised his hand to push him away and sat down in disgust.
There seemed to be a familiar smell of perfume wafting in the air, Qiao Ruoxu frowned, and looked around and didn't see Xia Yuyao's figure, maybe he was too sensitive, he stared at the red lip prints on the edge of the coffee cup, opened his mobile phone, looked at the empty message bar, and sighed.
"Where to celebrate in the evening? I had just returned to China and didn't know much about the situation at home. β
Gu Qianfan put his arm around Qiao Ruoxu's shoulder, "Don't say it, I signed a big IP as soon as I came back, "The Warm Sun in Winter" has a strong fan base, how many companies want to buy it, and the beautiful writer only agrees to cooperate with me!" β
"Envy, huh?"
Qiao Ruoxu looked at his proud appearance, and he had heard of "The Warm Sun in Winter". It is said to be the first sadomasochistic literature on the platform all year round, "Is the heroine decided?" He asked, "Give this drama to Bai Kemeng, and Qiao's Group will sponsor you." β
"It's a big deal!"
Gu Qianfan blinked, "I heard, didn't the two of you break up a long time ago?" And you're married, Lao Meng told me, sister-in-law is quite beautiful, don't mess up your private life! Beware of capsizing. β
"Fuck off, Bai Kemeng is a hot female star recently, and the topic and adaptability are good."
Qiao Ruoxu put on a businesslike attitude, Gu Qianfan scratched the tip of his nose, and pointed to the stack of contracts on the table apologetically, "But I just promised the screenwriter that the casting would be discussed with her, and I would ask her." β
"Okay." Qiao Ruoxu shrugged his shoulders and didn't force it.
ββ
The efficiency of Hanhai Film and Television is as good as ever, and they have already started casting in the second week of signing.
Xia Yuyao changed into a smart mint green suit, put her hair back on her head, and arrived at the interview room for casting. The assistant director was distributing the actors' information sheets, and when he saw Xia Yuyao, his eyes lit up and he stopped and asked, "Which company are you a newcomer?" Which role are you choosing? I can bring you straight in. β
"Thank you, I'm coming to Mr. Gu."
Xia Yuyao bowed slightly and pushed open the door of the conference room.
Gu Qianfan sat on the swivel chair, and when he saw her, he immediately raised his eyebrows to say hello, and said with his mouth as if he had touched honey: "Actually, with your conditions, you can go to the front of the stage, haven't you considered participating in a role in your own novel?" β
"It's not always said that writers write based on themselves."
Xia Yuyao lowered his eyes, he was right.
"The Warm Sun in Winter" can be regarded as the story of her and Qiao Ruoxu in a sense, but it is just the perspective of those girls' crushes that he doesn't know at all. The reason why Xia Yuyao wants the right to cast is that she is afraid that her story will be affected and messed up by other factors, destroying the last bit of pure land in her heart.
"Thank you Mr. Gu for your compliment, but I'll forget it."
Xia Yuyao sat beside him and saw an empty chair beside him, "Is there anyone else?" β
"Well, our investors are also my friends." Gu Qianfan nodded, raised his hand and looked at his watch, "It's estimated that it's almost there, hey, Ruoxu!" You're coming......" The door was pushed open again, and he stood up to greet him, "I'll introduce you." β
Boom β
The moment Xia Yuyao saw Qiao Ruoxu, his whole person became stiff.
It's really a narrow road!
How can he be haunted, he can be met everywhere!
Qiao Ruoxu looked at her unexpectedly, "Xia Feng is you?" β
"You know?"
Gu Qianfan's gaze wandered back and forth between the two, and Qiao Ruoxu sneered, "It's still very familiar." β
"I don't know."
The two answered almost at the same time, Qiao Ruoxu's face was pale, and he almost couldn't suppress his anger and asked on the spot. The assistant director knocked on the door and came in and asked tentatively: "It's all here, can you start?" β
Gu Qianfan looked at the two of them, nodded and said, "Let's start." β
"Xiao Yaoyao, if you think anyone is good and suitable for the role, just tell me." Gu Qianfan leaned into Xia Yuyao's ear and discussed work with her. Qiao Ruoxu stared at the side, his eyes were about to burst into flames, he stood up, dragged Gu Qianfan's chair, kicked him aside, and squeezed him between the two of them.
Gu Qianfan's face was full of grievances, but he could only wave his hand and secretly glance at the two people sitting straight.
For two hours, countless newcomers or actors who are a little famous came to compete. They know that the opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, even a supporting role can give them super exposure and their resources soar in place.
Xia Yuyao carefully examined everyone's acting skills and quickly determined the candidates for several main roles.
But the heroine has not been found for a long time.
"Xiao Yaoyao, the heroine actually has a predetermined candidate." Gu Qianfan propped his hands on the conference table, stepped over Qiao Ruoxu and exchanged glances with her, and whispered with his hand to cover his mouth, "Bai Kemeng, do you know?" She's a friend of the investor, you see, or we won't go through the procedure, and her reputation will ......."
"Nope."
Xia Yuyao almost reflexively refused, she didn't control her voice, causing everyone in the conference room to look at her. Qiao Ruoxu frowned, and glanced at her with a slightly dissatisfied expression, "Don't go too far." β
