Cheng Long has come all the way like this, and he naturally knows what kind of person has the potential for fire.

As he and Chen Musheng said before, Wu Yanzu is top-notch in all aspects, but the only thing he lacks is that he is much worse than Jiang Bai in terms of action.

Even if he has learned martial arts,

But there is a difference between learning and being proficient, like Zhen Zidan, who knows martial arts at home and abroad, and they are all relatively proficient, so the other party can not only be an action actor but also a martial arts instructor.

To use an example to describe it is that in the music scene of Xiangjiang, some people have top voices, and some people have top talents, but there are not so many of them combined.

Since ancient times, "all-rounders" have been rare.

And Jiang Bai is such an all-rounder.

It's easy to play a good guy, but it's hard to play a bad guy, being a bad guy doesn't just have to be able to blow his nose and stare at his eyes and have a loud voice.

Even if Jiang Bai doesn't get angry, just standing there with a look is enough, as long as Jiang Bai wants to show that he is playing a bad guy, even if he is laughing, it will make people shudder.

It didn't take long for Jiang Bai and Zhao Zhe to come to the company, Zhao Zhe went in to talk to them about the salary, and Jiang Bai was chatting with Cheng Long outside.

Since the two sides are now going in both directions, the salary was quickly negotiated, Chen Musheng gave a very sincere price and Zhao Zhe didn't bargain much, but just talked about what Jiang Bai needed to do in other aspects besides Jiang Bai's acting.

But in other words, it's actually some propaganda work.

It didn't take long for Zhao Zhe to come out and ask Jiang Bai to sign.

"Is there no problem?"

"Well, it's basically no problem, you can sign it directly."

"Okay."

Then Jiang Bai entered the room, and then opened the contract by the way and looked at it, there was indeed no big problem, what he got was just an actor's contract, which belonged to hired work, so no matter whether the box office of this movie made money or lost in the end, it had nothing to do with him.

And Jiang Bai will be able to get 1 million before the filming of this drama, and another 2 million when the filming is halfway through, and when this drama is all filmed, the remaining 2 million will be settled, a total of 5 million.

The filming period is 40 days, of course, if the filming exceeds this time, the crew will also pay a part of the liquidated damages.

On the whole, it seems that there is no problem with the contract, and Jiang Bai happily signed his name.

"Our drama will start next week, and you can join the group on time when the time comes."

Jiang Bai nodded.

After that, Zhao Zhe also proposed that everyone go out for dinner together, and he invited him, but Chen Musheng shook his head and said that he and Cheng Long would have to go to dinner with the investor later.

Hearing this, Zhao Zhe was not reluctant.

After saying hello, he left with Jiang Bai.

"Brother Zhao, what did you just say inside?" On the way back to the hotel, Jiang Bai asked curiously.

"The main thing is to talk about your salary, in fact, I thought it was about five million at the beginning, but I didn't expect them to say five million directly.

Although one of the conditions is that Ling can cooperate with them to do some martial arts instruction actions at that time, after all, Chen Musheng is very experienced in this area, and there is Cheng Long in the crew, it is estimated that you can not do much, so I will directly agree to you

This drama will be taken for you for 5 million, but if there are still action direction requirements for the next play, it will definitely not be packaged and gifted, you can rest assured.

As for other aspects, it's nothing, the main thing is that the actions in it will be shot in real time at that time, which is also what Cheng Long requires, although he uses C-level special effects in Hollywood, but Cheng Long still wants to pursue some realism here, so some shots will be more dangerous to shoot, and you must pay attention to safety when the time comes, everything is mainly to protect yourself. ”

"I know Brother Zhao, but if all of this is filmed in real time, wouldn't it cost a lot of money? And this is still a crime movie, just now Brother Cheng Long also talked to me about the many destruction scenes in the script. ”

"Yes, this old money is spent, every frame is burning money, and the speed of burning money may not be able to catch up with the speed of spending money, but don't worry, Cheng Long is still afraid of running out of money in the crew, the current investment in this drama is 100 million Hong Kong dollars, and the emperor is behind it, so even if the money spent is not enough, don't worry about the capital chain being broken, as long as Cheng Long opens his mouth, the emperor will definitely take out the money again."

"That's easy to say, anyway, it's none of my business how much this drama costs, as long as they can give me my money."

Now that this matter has been negotiated, they are going to go back to pack up their things first, and then Jiang Bai will enter the group on time to film.

After living in Hong Kong for three days, plus eating, drinking and having fun, they spent more than 10,000 yuan in total, but Zhao Zhe was not distressed at all, because with the money invested, Jiang Bai could get more.

It belongs to the small and the big.

But on the plane back, Zhao Zhe still told Jiang Bai about some things behind the play.

"Jiang Bai, didn't you tell me before that the original protagonist of this drama was Zhang Guorong? In fact, these are just hype, this movie was made by Cheng Long and Emperor from the beginning, and the reason why the name was changed was also because the copyright of the police story was in the hands of Golden Harvest.

So if they want to shoot, they can only change their names, because the company has changed, if you don't change the word, then the infringement will be very troublesome, and the loss will be millions at least, and tens of millions or hundreds of millions will be paid.

There is also a plot of Cheng Long kneeling and begging for mercy in this play, in fact, it is also deliberately shown to the audience, you must have heard that Cheng Long can't cry or die when filming later, and even injuries have to be avoided as much as possible, but this drama has such a plot, of course, the reasons are what I just said. ”

Jiang Bai nodded, in addition to the copyright issue, he could think of some others.

After all, this is all human nature, making movies is a commercial act, except for the kind of literary films that do not go to the review at all and do not go to make money, the rest of the films are not made to make money, although most of the directors say that they realize their dreams, but this is just some high-sounding words.

Including Jiang Bai himself, he is profit-seeking, not to mention those veterans who have been in the circle for many years.

Most movies are funded by financiers, and if one is made and one is lost, no matter how big the company is, it will have to go out of business.

No boss can afford to play like this.

After returning to Yanjing, there are still seven days to prepare, and Jiang Bai is not in a hurry.

However, he still told Su Rou first that he would go on a business trip to Xiangjiang in a few days.

Originally, Su Rou didn't have a visa, but since Jiang Bai received the play from the Matrix, they will get all kinds of overseas passes and passports every year in case of emergency.

It doesn't matter if it's the kind of time that has a lot of time, but if there is the kind of one that requires the actors to join the group early, it can save a lot of trouble by preparing these things in advance.

However, in the past seven days, Jiang Bai also chatted with the decoration company that Zhao Zhe helped him find to talk about his design requirements.

After all, the house has been bought and put there for a long time, and Jiang Bai also wants to live in his own house as soon as possible.

What Jiang Bai wanted was that kind of classical garden style, but fortunately, the other party was really good at it, and before that, they had also done decoration design for many celebrities or wealthy businessmen who bought courtyard houses in Yanjing.

But just three days before Jiang Bai was about to go to Xiangjiang, he suddenly received a phone call.

"Hey, hello."

"Hello, is this Mr. Jiang?"

Hearing this, Jiang Bai didn't know who the other party was, and thought that he was looking for himself to film or shoot an advertisement, but he still had some doubts, wouldn't it be good if this kind of business behavior called Zhao Zhe directly? Why do you call yourself directly?

"It's me, who are you?"

"I'm Mr. Murdoch's Chinese assistant here."

"Murdoch? Who's that? ”

"You've heard of The Times or Twentieth Century Fox."

"I've heard of that."

"Yes, my boss is the boss of these two companies, and I took the liberty to call you this time, in fact, I want to ask if the courtyard house under your name has any intention of selling?"

"I'm sorry, I just bought this yard, and I don't plan to sell it yet."

"That's the case, Mr. Jiang, everything is easy to say in terms of price, we can negotiate, the main thing is that our boss has taken a fancy to this place and wants to buy it."

Jiang Bai then understood that the other party called to buy a yard, but there were so many courtyard houses in Yanjing, why did he suddenly ask his head?

It's just that he bought this yard with great difficulty, so he doesn't plan to sell it, and he plans to live there all the time.

"I'm sorry, I really have no intention of selling this yard, you can ask about the others."

"Well, in that case, I won't bother, sorry."

"It's fine."

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Bai was also a little confused.

It didn't take long for Li Lian to go out with him again.

After driving to Li Lianjie's side, they chatted about other things for a while, and then Jiang Bai talked about it again.

"Murdoch, I know this, overseas bigwigs, especially rich.

I have not only television stations, but also newspapers and film companies, as well as shares in oil, sheep herding and airlines.

The reason why he wants to buy a courtyard house in Yanjing, I probably also know some insiders, because he had a wife who was Chinese before, and it seems that he broke up some time ago, and I heard that he had bought an apartment for Deng Wendi in New York, and gave a lot of money, and it is estimated that this time he bought it in China for women. ”

"It's so awesome, it's tens of millions of courtyard houses?"

"yes, that's awesome."

Jiang Bai nodded, thinking that he still had a long way to go now, and it would be good if he had money to this point.

Then they talked about Murdoch, the Chinese wife.

……

The day before departure, Su Rou had already come to Jiang Bai's side, and after staying overnight, the two of them went to the airport on time early the next morning.

This time, it was Huang Bo who drove.

"Jiang Bai, it seems that you can't be idle again this year, this time when you come back after filming in Xiangjiang, it is estimated that the book created by Director Ning will be about the same, and you will come to shoot here again."

"yes."

Jiang Bai nodded.

"Life is busy, but how about you? I heard that you didn't pass the exam last year, do you plan to continue taking the exam this year? ”

Huang Bo sighed when he heard this: "Alas, I don't know anymore, but it has always been my dream to be admitted to Beiying, but now I feel that it doesn't matter if I take the exam or not, anyway, it's still filming if I take the exam from there." ”

"Actually, I don't think you need to take the test at all, with your acting skills, it is enough to beat most of the Beiying students, whether it is from the undergraduate class or from the junior college class, you can directly take a boat to the other side, why do you have to take a long detour?"

"Also, I'll think about it later, but Songwen also graduated last year, and last year Brother Zhao gave him a play, although he played the male number three, but the ratings were okay, and this year Brother Zhao also plans to give him a few more plays to see if he can perform and make a name for himself.

There is not much news on Bao Qiang's side, basically he is going to make a cameo or play a supporting role or something, which is similar to my situation, anyway, I am waiting for the new film after the year, Brother Zhao also said, I will star in this drama. ”

"Yes, maybe you will become popular because of this film?"

"Hahaha, I hope so, the main thing is that I'm too stumbling."

"That's fine, as long as the acting is good enough, everything is a small problem."

During the chat, they also arrived at the airport, and after seeing Jiang Bai off, Huang Bo also drove away.

The plane passed through the layers of clouds and fog and came to the sky above the clouds in the sound of breaking wind, and the weather was good today, and the clouds illuminated by the warm sun were covered with a layer of golden sand.

Looking at this beautiful spectacle, Jiang Bai turned his head and asked the flight attendant for a cup of coffee.

Although he drinks tea most of the time, he sometimes drinks coffee to refresh himself.

It's just that after the stewardess brought the coffee, she suddenly asked in a slightly embarrassed whisper, "Teacher Jiang Bai, can I ask you for an autograph?" I especially like the play you play. ”

"Okay."

Jiang Bai smiled, and then signed the other party: "Put it away, don't let people see it, I heard that your airline is quite strict, if you let your leader see it, maybe your salary will be deducted." ”

"I will definitely take it, thank you Teacher Jiang Bai, then you won't tell the truth, right?"

"No, don't worry, I'm tight-lipped."

"That's good."

After collecting the signature, the flight attendant left to serve the other passengers.

Now Jiang Bai basically doesn't need to buy his own travel tickets, and the crew will take care of it all by himself.

And after arriving at the filming location, if you live in the city, you will basically live in a thousand rooms a night, even if it is a remote place, it is the best hotel in the county.

"This time, I can finally see what kind of shooting method Brother Cheng Long's real shooting is."
