After thinking for a while, Jiang Wei asked tentatively, "Who are you going to find to play?" ”

Regarding this candidate, Jiang Bai has already made a conclusion in his heart.

"Dong Hyun."

"She? She's not suitable, she's so beautiful, this character has the shape of a village woman, I'm afraid she won't be able to play that feeling. ”

"Director, otherwise, I'll let Dong Hyun try on makeup when I go back, and if it works, I'll try it again, if it works, use it, if it doesn't work, how about you take a look again?"

Jiang Wei heard Jiang Bai say this, so he had to nod his head in agreement.

After eating, Jiang Wei went back with a heavy heart, and after Jiang Bai went back, he called Dong Hyun: "Hey, Hyun'er, have you been busy lately?" ”

"I'm not busy, I'm participating in an event here in the magic capital recently, I won a prize, and I'm going back to Yanjing tomorrow."

"That's right, I took a play here, and then recommended to the director that you play the heroine, but this role has very high requirements for the image, so the director wants you to try on makeup here and take a look at it again."

"It's rare, this is the first time you've asked me to film."

"How can it be the first time? I've also asked you to play it before, and this opportunity is very rare, the director is Jiang Wei, who has filmed "Don't Talk to Strangers" before, although I haven't got the script yet, but as long as the spy war drama is filmed, it will be a classic, how about it? Interested? ”

"Yes, but can I? What kind of look do you want? ”

"Village girl."

"I'm such a beautiful beauty, you let me play the village girl?"

"Of course, it's not all village girls, there are also beauties in the back of the Republic of China, and the characters are quite three-dimensional."

"Okay, I'll act, who made you speak? So I'll go straight to the office when I go back tomorrow? ”

"Okay."

After the negotiation, Dong Hyun returned to the company at ten o'clock the next day.

It's also pulling big bags and small bags.

The stylist Jiang Bai has already been selected, and the clothes Jiang Bai has also been obtained.

"You got up early and put on some makeup, huh?" Looking at the delicate makeup on Dong Hyun's face, Jiang Bai asked teasingly.

"Of course, I'm a female artist, so I should always pay attention to my image, okay? Not to mention taking a plane, even if you go out to buy groceries, you have to put on makeup. ”

"Okay."

Then Dong Hyun came to the office, and the stylist here was already in place.

"Brother Jiang, how do you get it?"

"Just get it to the soil, the more soil the better, it's best to look like a village girl at a glance."

"But Sister Dong is so beautiful......"

"It's okay, dedicate yourself to art, this difficulty is still very high, you have to work hard, it's up to you whether she can get the next play."

Makeup artists suddenly felt stressed.

But it's also a very rare opportunity.

Then Jiang Bai and the others went out, leaving only Dong Hyun and the makeup artist in the house.

The makeup stylist in the room began to think about how to make it look earthy while removing Dong Hyun's makeup.

"First of all, the face should be darker and redder, the skin should be rougher, and the hair can be oily......"

The makeup artist began to prepare the cosmetics as she chanted.

After about two hours or so, the makeup artist finally came out.

"How?" Jiang Bai asked.

"Sister Dong Hyun and I both feel that it's okay, now she is changing clothes inside, you can take a look when she comes out."

Jiang Bai nodded, and after about three minutes, the door of the office opened again, and Dong Hyun walked out of it.

"It's so dirty!"

Jiang Bai couldn't help but say.

"How? Is it okay? Dong Hyun asked.

Then Jiang Bai went up again and looked at it carefully: "I always feel that it is almost meaningful, if you draw her mouth a little drier, can you create that kind of dry and peeling effect?" There are also more fine lines on the corners of the eyes and on the face, and you can also get them on the door of the head, at least let her look up and look up There are three forehead tattoos, and the pores on the nose are a little thicker, but the hair is okay. ”

"Okay, then I'll get some more."

So the two entered the office, and another hour later, Dong Hyun walked out again.

"It's so much better, I think it's okay to take pictures."

Then the photographer was in place.

They also have a studio in the company, but it is less interesting than that kind of professional studio.

The background was set up, and a background cloth was placed behind the village scene, and some props were placed to decorate.

After shooting back and forth for about half an hour, Jiang Bai pointed out the modeling and movements on the side.

"Brother, how long will it take to retouch the picture?"

"If you want to refine it, it may take until tomorrow morning, including revisions."

"Okay, I'll leave it to you."

So the others went to dinner, and the photographer came to the computer and started retouching.

Jiang Bai didn't let the makeup artist leave, in case he had to put on makeup and shoot again, so he could get to work directly.

In the evening, Jiang Bai stayed directly in the company, and the photographer worked from morning to the next morning, and he didn't close his eyes at all.

Seven o'clock in the morning.

The photographer has chicken-like hair and bloodshot eyes.

"Brother Jiang, it's fixed."

Jiang Bai nodded, sat in front of the computer and began to read.

Flipping through the photos one by one, he was quite satisfied.

"Yes, hard work."

Then Jiang Bai handed over a wad of money.

"Brother Jiang, did you give too much, didn't you say before that it would be good to shoot and retouch the picture for 5,000? It's 10,000 so thick. ”

"It's okay, just keep it, after all, you haven't slept all night."

"Hehe, thank you Brother Jiang, if there is such a thing next time, remember to find me."

"Well said."

Then Jiang Bai arranged for the driver to send the other party back.

After all, Jiang Bai is really not at ease when the other party goes out like this.

Then Jiang Bai sent the photo through the mailbox.

About half an hour later, Jiang Wei called directly: "I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that Dong Hyun could actually look like this, then go back and let her try the play, if the audition is no problem, let's set this female number one." ”

"Okay."

Immediately afterwards, they discussed that they would let Dong Hyun go over to try out the play in the afternoon, but Jiang Bai was still very relieved about Dong Hyun in terms of auditions, after all, with his own training and teaching, Dong Hyun's current acting skills are also quite good.

In the afternoon, Jiang Bai made a special trip to accompany Dong Hyun.

He was also watching during the audition, but he didn't speak.

It's just that after Dong Hyun tried it, Jiang Bai asked, "How about directing?" Just tell the truth, I have always told people in the company that there is no need to be afraid of not being able to try the play, and if you can't try, it means that the acting skills are not good enough. ”

And Jiang Wei thought for a while: "If I tell you that I can't try, then will you still act as the male number one?" ”

Jiang Bai smiled: "Of course you act." ”

Jiang Wei also smiled: "I'm relieved to have your words, and Dong Hyun's audition has no problems, and it even greatly surprised my expectations." ”

After speaking, he looked at Dong Hyun again: "Dong Hyun, this female number one is yours, you can prepare again when you go back during this time, the filming permit for this drama has been obtained, filming will start next month, and I will inform you of the specific time in two days."

When the time comes, we'll sign the contract with us, and ...... in terms of salary."

Jiang Bai smiled: "Director Jiang, we are both our own family, and it hurts a little bit to talk about money directly, why don't you go back and let my agent come." ”

"It's okay, as long as you can act in this drama, the rest is trivial."

Another day passed, and Yang Tianzhen went to negotiate with the other party on behalf of Jiang Bai.

Just talking, Yang Tianzhen called over.

"Brother Jiang, the highest condition they give here is 220,000 yuan per episode, but now this is a bit small for your worth, I help you ask for 300,000 yuan per episode, but they can't give it over there."

Jiang Bai also thought about this aspect, how much is the actor's salary for one episode is not the superficial movie shooting 30 episodes, 200,000 yuan per episode, and you can get 6 million after filming.

Generally speaking, if an actor can have five scenes in an episode, it is counted as an episode, and if it is not enough, the number is added to the number.

"Latent" is expected to shoot about 35 episodes, if all of these can be broadcast, Jiang Bai will be able to get about 9 million according to 300,000 yuan per episode.

And 220,000 is about 7 million, which is less than 2 million.

"That's it, you can talk to them again, 200,000 is fine, of course, I have one condition, that is, the copyright of this TV series will be sold to me at that time, if you can, it is best to take the copyright of the original work, and we can also invest in this drama."

"What about this copyright? What is the psychological price on your side? ”

"Ten million, less is better."

"Okay, then I'll talk about it again."

Just like that, more than an hour later, Yang Tianzhen called back again.

"Brother Jiang has negotiated, the salary is 200,000 yuan per episode, and I have cut the copyright fee to 7.8 million, and I also won the full investment in this drama, which requires 20 million."

"Okay, thank you."

"It's okay, it should be, then let's sign the contract?"

"Let's sign it."

Jiang Bai plans to buy the copyright of this drama, although he has not read the script yet, but he has already read the original work of this drama a few days ago.

The original book is very good, and the investment has been negotiated, and Jiang Bai can also influence the filming of this drama when the time comes.

Of course, the premise is that Jiang Wei is not good at shooting, if he shoots well, Jiang Bai will naturally fully cooperate.

And Dong Hyun's salary is 100,000 yuan per episode.

The rest of the ginger white doesn't need to be considered.

And one of the advantages of investing and being an actor by yourself is that it is difficult for the crew to do anything in terms of funds.

It doesn't matter if it's a small fight, Jiang Bai doesn't care, after all, Ma Wuye grass is not fat, but if it is done with great fanfare, Jiang Bai has the right to change the director.

has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, Jiang Bai knows a lot of directors who make this kind of drama, but it is really not good, and he can still find Xu Qingdong.

During this month's preparation time, Jiang Bai occasionally asked about the preparation progress of "Latent", and the rest of the time was spent on the promotion and release of "No Man's Land".

Volkswagen has already found the team and drivers, and has followed the route they had planned several times.

The advertising spaces to be set up along the way have also been built.

After three days, the team will depart from the starting point, and then the live video will be placed on the Youku platform.

But on this day, Zhao Zhe came to Jiang Bai's office: "Let's go, Jiang Bai, I have a director interview here, let's go over and have a look." ”

"Let's go."

Soon they arrived at the reception room.

When I came into view, I saw a bald head wearing glasses.

As soon as he saw the other party, Jiang Bai felt that the other party had something, after all, he was probably a little talented to keep such an image.

And the experience should be quite rich.

It's just that Jiang Bai has never heard of such a number one person in the circle.

But soon he thought about it again, after all, he hadn't paid too much attention to the aspect of skits before.

"My name is Zhao Zhe, and he is Jiang Bai."

After sitting down, Zhao Zhe first introduced the people on his side.

The other party nodded: "I have admired the name for a long time, I am still a fan of Brother Jiang." ”

Jiang Bai smiled at the other party: "Then can you introduce yourself first?" What works have you done before? ”

"My name is Yi Zhengxin, and most of my previous works are edited works."

Hearing this, Jiang Bai was stunned for a moment: "Wait a minute, your previous works were all taken in school, so you just graduated?" ”

"Yes, I am 22 years old and just graduated from Changsha University of Science and Technology."

"22 years old? You're only 22? It doesn't look like it, I thought you were a veteran director in the short term. ”

"Mr. Zhao, in fact, I just graduated this year, I studied engineering, I originally planned to follow the arrangement of my family to a supervision engineering unit to do supervision, but I really don't like this industry, I happened to see your company's recruitment, so I thought about coming over to give it a try."

Jiang Bai smiled when he heard this: "Then your career span is quite large, but it doesn't matter, there are not many people in our company who specialize in acting or directing, you can continue to introduce." ”

"I have made some short videos in school before, and I have also done some spoof short films, and the number of views on the Internet is quite high, but the main source of income is still the game, usually when I play the game, I will record it, and then put it on the Internet with commentary, my online name is Stupid Dad Xiaoxing, which can be searched on the Internet."

"Then why did you apply for the director again, and what advantages do you think you have in this regard?"

Yi Zhengxin replied: "I think I still know a lot about what netizens like, of course, if that's just the case, there are a lot of people to replace me, I think my main advantage is that I understand the mechanism of online video platforms very well, and I also have a certain amount of research on short videos, so I also wrote a plan for this." ”

As he spoke, Yi Zhengxin took out a thick stack of plans from the schoolbag he was carrying and put them between the two.

Jiang Bai took it, looked at it carefully, and found that the other party did have a deep understanding of this aspect.

What the other party writes is not what is copied everywhere on the Internet, but is summarized by himself.

"Well, let me ask one last question, if I give you 1 million, can you give me something that doesn't lose money?"

Yi Zheng thought for a while, and then said firmly: "Yes!" (End of chapter)
