Actors have no vacation

Chapter 61 Negotiations
Standing at the intersection of Beijing International Airport again, Guan Chen felt a little emotional.

In order to express this feeling, he will read a poem:

"Near nostalgia is more timid... kill one person in ten steps."

Manager Qian next to him looked at Guan Chen like a bug.

When the two patrolling airport policemen passed ten meters, Manager Qian lowered his voice and asked Guan Chen, "How do you know that the director will choose you when that role is vacated. You won't spread rumors secretly, right?"

"Where did I get so much money to do that?" Guan Chen shook his head and said, "I also took a chance."

It does take luck.

If Mr. Liu didn't have that plan at all, Guan Chen wouldn't be able to get a second chance except physically preventing Huang Lun from acting.

Around the New Year's Eve, he commissioned the trashy boy to keep an eye on Huang Lun's news on the Internet and collect all the news. Guan Chen didn't feel relieved until he saw the drafts. Everything was as he expected, and Mr. Liu did not disappoint him.

However, the change of actors can be said to be the most secret news in the crew. Guan Chen is far away in the magic capital, and he has no background relationship. Being able to target the director who admired him most during the audition ahead of time, and build a sense of presence.

It's a pity that he doesn't know Director Chen's number. Guan Chen has never been able to contact him on the Internet, so he has to transfer his energy to the screenwriter of the movie.

The screenwriter is very active on Weibo and often shares some photos related to "Police Story".

Guan Chen signed up for a Weibo account and pretended to be a fan of the screenwriter. After the fourth issue of "Extreme Man" was broadcast, he continued to circle the screenwriter and pretended to ask the other party whether it was true or false, and whether it was a script.

Then it's all up to God.

Now it seems that the will of heaven is temporarily on his side.

I don't know if the screenwriter recommended him or the director always remembers him, but Guan Chen got the chance to play Wu Ze as he wished.

It's only possible because nothing is certain until the contract is signed.

Xie Jinzhu was busy reading the script of "Black Flood Dragon" and couldn't get away from it, so this time Qian Liangyi not only continued to search for talents and added manpower for the studio's business in the coming year, but also accompany Guan Chen to discuss the salary and sign the contract.

"Let me do the negotiation later, don't talk." Qian Liangyi told Guan Chen.

Guan Chen nodded and said that he had no objection, "Don't worry, I have experienced this kind of negotiation a few times."

"Have you negotiated before?" Qian Liangyi was a little curious.

"Of course." Guan Chen crossed his arms and said seasonedly, "Whoever has the initiative in negotiation will have a better chance of winning."

So far, Guan Chen's content is still normal.

"In order to take the initiative, there are several ways, such as secretly promising the other party some benefits and rebates; or holding the other party's information, evidence and secrets; if it is not possible, you can also control the other party's family." Guan Chenyi Talk about it.

really!really!really!Qian Liangyi shouted in his heart.

Seeing that the patrolling policeman was about to approach, Qian Liangyi hurriedly stopped Guan Chen from continuing to speak, "Anyway, when you're there, don't talk!"

Qian Liangyi took Guan Chen out of the airport quickly, called a taxi, and went straight to Changping District, where "Police Story" belongs to the production company.

In order to prevent the driver from calling the police and leaking any rumors, Qian Liangyi refused to talk to Guan Chen in the car.

About an hour later, the two came to the Changping District of [Cineplex] again.

There are still countless screenwriters with high ambitions, actors from all over the world with star dreams, real or fake scouts...

Guan Chen remembered the foreigner named Haoli that he met last time. Maybe when he stands in front of him next time, he will already be a serious actor.

"arrive."

The company that makes "Police Story" is a big company, and it is called "Top Ten" and "Top Ten" together with nine other big companies.

As soon as you enter the door, you will see the works produced or participated by this company. Movie posters cover the entire corridor, but unlike the posters of the production company of "Black Dragon", the posters here really show the big companies. heritage and strength.Many posters use golden words to indicate which film festival the film participated in and what awards it won.Some even won awards at the [Golden Bull Award] awards ceremony, and painted small golden bulls.

Standing in front of the poster, Guan Chen sighed and looked at it until he was pulled away by Qian Liangyi.

Going inside, the environment inside is simply huge and expansive, from chandeliers to trash cans are full of design sense.Almost everyone of the staff has a calm demeanor.A few foreigners seemed to be here to study and study, and they respectfully took notes wherever they went.Guan Chen also saw two or three shooting teams carrying cameras, taking pictures everywhere.When I asked about it, I was making a documentary, not a documentary about a certain star or a movie, but a documentary about this company.

Compared with this place, the production company of "Black Flood Dragon" is like a small workshop.

"Are you here to discuss cooperation?" The shooting team saw Guan Chen, and immediately turned the camera on Guan Chen as if the magnet was attracted by a magnet.

"We are here to negotiate." Guan Chen nodded and slowly crossed his arms.

Qian Liangyi's eyelids twitched, alarm bells ringing in his heart, he hugged Guan Chen like a broker and dragged him away.

Unexpectedly, the shooting team ran with them, and followed Guan Chen and the others into the elevator.

In the elevator, the documentary director asked Guan Chen with interest, "What are you here for negotiating?"

Qian Liangyi hurried before Guan Chen spoke and replied that he was participating in the re-examination of a role.

The documentary director asked what movie project he was participating in, and followed Guan Chen and the others out of the elevator.

Qian Liangyi squinted his eyes, smiling like Maitreya Buddha, and invited the other party, "Our project is "Police Story" with Zhang Jingsheng's participation. If you are making a documentary for the company, how can you miss this movie?"

After listening to it, the documentary director felt that this was indeed a good suggestion, and took out his mobile phone and reported the plan to his superiors.

"With a camera recording, the process can be more or less transparent. Even if it is a little possibility of success, we have to fight for it." Qian Liangyi explained to Guan Chen in a low voice.

Guan Chen felt that Qian Liangyi was very good and very good.

"It's all for the studio!" Qian Liangyi looked righteous.

In order to keep Guan Chen in the capital, he tried his best.

With the documentary team that was persuaded, the group walked to the conference room together, menacingly.

The waiting staff was a little surprised, wondering what the origin of Guan Chen was, and even brought his own photography team.

When the "Police Story" producer came out of the conference room, the director of the documentary asked for the producer's opinion and asked if he could go in to shoot and record the entire re-examination process.The producer wanted to refuse, but the documentary director smiled and said that the filming permission they obtained was everything that happened in the company, and they could shoot.

In the end, the director of the documentary still entered the conference room.

Guan Chen was left outside the door.

Qian Liangyi's argument is that actors do not come off the stage to negotiate contracts, these are the jobs of their agents.

In fact, only Qian Liangyi knows what he thinks.

Guan Chen was taken downstairs by the staff and entered the so-called screening room, where he watched the films that the company had produced with the tourists.

Qian Liangyi entered the conference room alone and prepared for work.If you don't succeed, you will become a benefactor. The harvest of Xie Jinzhu's studio next year will depend on today.

There were only a few people sitting on the huge mahogany long table.Qian Liangyi recognized Director Chen and the screenwriter, as well as a supervisor and several producers.

Before going to Beijing, Xie Jinzhu told Qian Liangyi that although Director Chen, screenwriter and Zhang Jingsheng highly recommended Guan Chen, not everyone in the crew was as optimistic about Guan Chen as they were.Some well-informed people have begun to attack the role of Wu Ze.

Therefore, the main purpose of Qian Liangyi and the others this time is to convince the producer and several producers that it is the most cost-effective to use Guan Chen.

Under the filming of the documentary team, the negotiation officially began.

Although Qian Liangyi is not a powerful agent, he is at least a qualified agent. He began to talk about Guan Chen's advantages, trying to increase Guan Chen's weight and get as much remuneration as possible.

"He doesn't have any works now, and he hasn't won any awards. His level is still unknown. The salary of 200 million yuan is too exaggerated." A male producer shook his head, trying to lower the price, "50 yuan."

Although Qian Liangyi really wanted to sell Guan Chen for 5000 yuan, doing so might be life-threatening, so he could only bargain according to the process: "Guan Chen's level, everyone has seen his performance in the audition, and everyone must understand it. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be called over in this situation.”

In fact, Qian Liangyi didn't know Guan Chen's performance level at all, but the younger brothers and sisters that Xing Yan threw over, although they had their own strange personalities, their acting ability and talent were really good.

On the side, a female executive producer who had witnessed Guan Chen's strength in the audition said, "It's true that Guan Chen performed very well in the audition, but the problem is, it's been two months since the audition day. Know if Guan Chen's state is still at the same level as that time.Moreover, their script has been changed compared to two months ago. What they need now are actors who can immediately start shooting. I don't know how long it will take Guan Chen to regain the role.

Qian Liangyi did not explain this at length.He just took out a stack of papers from his bag.

The pile of paper was bloated, and there were countless small notes mixed in the paper, and multicolored tapes were attached to the edges.Each page drooped listlessly, with burrs, and with a little force, a piece could be broken off, almost degenerating and returning to the state of bark.

The female producer jumped in her heart and thought of a possibility.

Qian Liangyi's words confirmed her guess, "This is the script from two months ago." Qian Liangyi carefully put the script of "Police Story" on the cover and put it in front of everyone.

"He was still reading the script until you called." Qian Liangyi took out a small note from the bottom of the script. The note seemed to be torn from other notebooks. It was a new idea recorded by Guan Chen when he participated in the reading of the script of "Black Flood Dragon" yesterday.

"He is trying to figure out the role all the time." Qian Liangyi pushed his glasses and said softly.

The screenwriter and Director Chen felt Guan Chen's dedication to the role, and they were all indifferent. They carefully looked at the traces in the script, and looked at each other from time to time, showing a look of surprise.In their whispers, everyone could vaguely hear "I want to go with me", "As expected of a famous university", "This is Wu Ze, this is Wu Ze!"...

The male producer coughed a few times, reminding Director Chen to pay attention.After a while, he told Qian Liangyi that the role of Wu Ze has action scenes, and some of the other candidate actors, some have been exercising, some have already made action movies, and have the foundation of kung fu. Compared with these people , Guan Chen has no advantage.

Qian Liangyi was still in a hurry, took out a portable hard disk from his pocket, and asked where there was a computer.

The staff immediately brought in a laptop, inserted the hard drive, and under the command of Qian Liangyi, opened a video in a file.

As you can see, the place where the video was filmed was a training ground, with pads and Wia, and several young people in uniform.Director Chen immediately recognized that this should be an action training center.

Then Guan Chen appeared in the picture. At first, he was a thin person, playing nonsense in front of the wooden pile, playing sandbags and resting for a long time.

Just watching such a few photos and a few seconds of video is like a funny video.

It's a pity that Qian Liangyi didn't come to laugh.

As the photos slide by one after another, and the videos are spliced ​​together one after another, Guan Chen's physique on the screen is getting stronger and stronger, and his muscles gradually support his clothes.His fists against the sandbag grew stronger.Later, he directly started to fight with people.His well-proportioned body stretched out, and every punch, every kick, every dodge, was like a dance, making people feel a kind of charm, never tired of watching.

Running, skipping rope, learning boxing, eating nutritious meals... Guan Chen in the video strictly implements the training schedule, not like an actor, but more like a professional athlete.

I don't know who edited the video, but it was accompanied by a very enthusiastic background music. Everyone in the conference room was enthusiastic, and they all had the urge to exercise.

"He is the martial arts instructor of "Black Flood Dragon 2". The specific movements cannot be released because of the confidentiality agreement. But it can be said that because of Guan Chen's participation, the action style of the movie has changed." Qian Righteousness said.
