I became a scandal heroine overnight

Chapter 522 One Half
The communication between Zhou Lan and Xu Jinbo was smooth.

For Xu Jinbo, as long as Zhou Yun agrees to act in this play, he can talk about everything else.

Yue Hai has always wanted to repair the relationship with Zhou Yun, but he has never succeeded before, but Zhou Yun is getting more and more popular, and his status in the circle is getting higher and higher. , Zhou Yun and Yue Haizhen had no chance of cooperating again.

For video sites, one hit drama can even boost the website more than a hundred dramas combined.

Xu Jinbo was able to deal with Zhou Yun, let Zhou Yun cooperate with Yue Hai again, and star in Yue Hai's play, which made him speak a lot harder than usual with Yue Hai's senior management.

Usually making a play, Yue Hai has always been the one with the toughest talking.

But this time Zhou Yun said that another heroine wanted to find Yu Chu, and Yue Hai's senior management agreed to use Yu Chu without saying anything. .

Xu Jinbo finally understood that it was not so important how much Yue Hai could make in the movie "Deep Sea". Reconciled.

Paying such sincerity to show affection to an actor has never happened in Yue Hai.In the past, several actors were blocked by Yue Hai because they played big names or did not cooperate with each other.But in the final analysis of this line, whoever the audience recognizes is the one who is strong.Zhou Yun is too popular, and the dramas or movies she starred in are all hits, and no one in the circle refuses to accept the four words "hot queen".

Since his debut, Zhou Yun has never hit the street with any drama, and his reputation is as poor as "The Eighth Heartbeat" and "Fixed Storm". From a commercial point of view, it is also a cash cow that supports a quarterly KPI.

Xu Jinbo is a smart man. After he figured out the twists and turns behind this, he no longer regarded himself as a senior producer, and his attitude towards Zhou Lan and Zhou Yun was simply attentive and enthusiastic.

He thought that Zhou Yun would open his mouth like a lion, and he admitted it. Anyway, the high-level attitude was there, but Zhou Yun didn't ask for extra remuneration, and it was completely based on the market price. Whether it was Yu Chu or Lu Zhongting Whether it's Huang Zicheng or Huang Zicheng, the salaries of these people are already low, and when converted to the investment of this film, it's almost nothing.

Even Xu Jinbo was thinking, should he take the initiative to send another sum of money in private?

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lan refused directly, and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, let's stop talking secretly, what should we do, what should we do, you are so generous, willing to support my other actors, I should be the host to invite you to dinner, but now Xiaoyun is filming, I thought I would treat you to dinner after Xiaoyun finishes filming to express my gratitude."

Xu Jinbo was very surprised.

"Sister Lan, why are you being so polite? I know Xiaoyun is able to play our show, and you must have said a lot of good things." Xu Jinbo said, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you."

Zhou Lan: "Mr. Xu, please don't say that. Xiaoyun will be tempted if the script of "Deep Sea" is good. Without your persistence in "Deep Sea", Xiaoyun will definitely not come to act. The play is done."

When Xu Jinbo heard this, he somewhat understood what Zhou Lan meant.

All in all, in the process of promoting the "Deep Sea" project, almost all departments of Yue Hai opened green channels and provided everything they needed.

This is the meaning of Yue Hai's high-level executives, and it also makes Xu Jinbo a thorn in the eyes of other producers.

This is the most jealous of Jing Jingcheng, who is promoting a TV series called "Stepmother's Law".Jingjingcheng also sent the script of "The Law of the Stepmother" to Zhou Yun, but Zhou Yun's team directly rejected the script.

In fact, the screenplay, based on an award-winning original novel, is getting a lot of attention.Jing Jingcheng never thought that Zhou Yun would directly refuse, and didn't even talk about it.Jingjingcheng had contacted Zhou Lan, and Zhou Lan said that because Zhou Yun had already accepted "Deep Sea", there were other plays in the future, and there was no schedule.

Jing Jingcheng went to see Zhou Lan in person again, but Zhou Lan still just declined and did not let go.

For this reason, Jingjingcheng regards Xu Jinbo and "Deep Sea" as thorns in his eyes.

He really wanted to cooperate with Zhou Yun, and he also felt that only Zhou Yun could act in "The Law of the Stepmother", and other actresses of the same age did not have such acting skills.

But if Zhou Yun doesn't act, this drama can't just be put on hold. It cost a lot of money to buy this IP, and a lot of money to develop it into a script. It's impossible to let these money go to waste.

Jingjingcheng can only choose other actresses.

Among them was Xu Siyao.Xu Siyao's image suddenly improved because of the drama "Standing the Storm", and it has been cleaned up a lot, and her acting skills are indeed good, which has received a lot of praise.Among the more suitable candidates for actresses today, Xu Siyao is one. The heroine of "The Stepmother's Law" has too many spans and has high requirements on the actors' acting skills. If the actors' acting skills are not good, the performance will be a disaster when the time comes.Jingjingcheng never considered those celebrities who only had traffic.

But after Beijing Jingcheng got in touch with Xu Siyao, Xu Siyao proposed that he wanted Gu Huaichun to be the leading actor.

"Brother Jing, the script of this play is so good, why don't you ask Gu Huaichun to be the leading actor? This play was originally made by you Yue Hai, and Gu Huaichun is your actor. This play is still good for Gu Huaichun." Xu Siyao said.

Jing Jingcheng could only persuade: "Gu Huaichun has other plays, and the schedule can't be moved. We still have many male actors to choose from."

But Xu Siyao identified Gu Huaichun.

Her idea is actually very simple.In terms of popularity and number of fans, she is actually mediocre. Compared with the so-called celebrities with many fans, she is more like a celebrity with a high degree of topicality. Everyone likes to read news about her, but they may not believe her and chase her She is acting in a drama, so she wants to add a layer of insurance to this drama, and this insurance is Gu Huaichun.

The performances of Gu Huaichun's dramas broadcast in the past two years have been good. Although they are basically so-called idol dramas, have never been serious dramas, and are not considered mainstream, their reputation and audience reputation are still very good.

If Gu Huaichun could play the male lead, "The Stepmother's Law" would have an extra layer of protection.

"Brother Jing, if Gu Huaichun's schedule is not suitable, I can wait. I really want to cooperate with Gu Huaichun. Brother Jing can help me realize this wish."

Xu Siyao blinked at Jingjingcheng and said coquettishly.

There was no other way, Jingjingcheng had no choice but to communicate with Gu Huaichun's agent about the shooting and schedule.

But now Gu Huaichun would not give a major heroine a leading role in a drama. In this matter, Gu Huaichun didn't even have to say anything, and his agent directly refused.

"Old Beijing, if this show is starring Ning Yao, Zhou Yun or Wei Ruxue, you come to find Gu Huaichun to build a sedan chair, and I won't say anything. A Xu Siyao, she will play the leading role for my little Gu I'm not even happy, and you still expect my little Gu to play the leading role for her?" Gu Huaichun's agent rolled her eyes, "Is she wishful thinking or her brain is rusted?"

Jingjingcheng sighed.

"It's not that I'm talking too much, don't you know what she's thinking? Today Xiao Gu made a second show for her, and tomorrow the marketing draft will be spread all over the Internet, and Xiao Gu's partners will come to ask what's the answer The thing is, these endorsements from Xiao Gu don't look down on Xu Siyao, but Xu Siyao can still be ranked ahead of Xiao Gu, what does this make the partner think?"

Jingjingcheng knew that Gu Huaichun would definitely not be able to handle it.

Jing Jingcheng went to communicate with Xu Siyao again, but Xu Siyao was determined to want Gu Huaichun, "Brother Jing, as long as Gu Huaichun comes to act, it doesn't matter if I lower my salary."

Jing Jingcheng was very speechless, but he couldn't say anything to Xu Siyao.

……

News from the show business circle always travels quickly, let alone Zhou Lan, who focuses on Xu Siyao's dynamics.

Zhou Lan received the news almost immediately.

If it weren't for the fact that she had helped Wang Jing take over a youth-themed web drama produced by Yue Hai before, she would definitely let Wang Jing grab this drama.

However, the schedule is not impossible to coordinate, and "The Stepmother's Law" may not be able to delay the start.

Wang Jing's next film is "Youth Story", which is scheduled to start in October. "The Stepmother's Law" is currently ready to start in November. If it can be postponed to January next year, Wang Jing will have a schedule.

Just as Zhou Lan was thinking this way, he suddenly slapped himself on the head again. Jing Jingcheng would definitely not agree to let Wang Jing act in this play. Zhou Yun had been approached for this play before, and she refused.

However, Zhou Lan didn't want Xu Siyao to take on "The Law of the Stepmother". The script and cast of this drama are very good. With Xu Siyao's acting skills, maybe she can really make her perform by word of mouth.

No matter how much Zhou Lan didn't like Xu Siyao, he also admitted that Xu Siyao had acting skills.

If she is really allowed to act well, with her style, it is estimated that she will stir up trouble even more.

She hesitated for a moment, who should she tell this news to?
If Liu Qingqing hadn't accepted Zhong Heping's new play, Zhou Lan would rather tell Liu Qingqing about the play and let her act.

She is also suitable.

Zhou Lan thought for a long time, and realized that she only needed to do one thing, and she only needed to release the news about the drama "The Stepmother's Law".

In this way, many actresses will definitely fall in love with this big piece of fat.

After all, the original novel of this play, not to mention the award-winning novel, is still a bestseller and attracts much attention.

Zhou Lan immediately spread the news that "The Stepmother's Law" was preparing to cast actors through his own channels.

But Zhou Lan probably didn't expect that the two actresses who fell in love with this drama first were Wei Ruxue and Su Yan.

After Wei Ruxue heard the news that Jingjingcheng was going to open this drama, she immediately called Jingjingcheng herself.

"Jingcheng, how did I hear that you have a new play? I haven't received any news before." Wei Ruxue said, "Why didn't you send me the script to read?"

Jing Jingcheng was at a loss when he received Wei Ruxue's call.

"Ru Xue, are you asking about "The Law of the Stepmother"?" Jing Jingcheng said with a smile, "The stepmother in the original book is a little girl in her early twenties."

"What's the matter, do you think I'm old now and don't look like a girl in her early twenties?" Wei Ruxue asked directly.

Jingjingcheng had a headache.

"Of course not, but Ru Xue, you have debuted for many years, and everyone has known you for a long time. Besides, the most important thing is that you just acted in "Cold Cold", and you are the domineering lady in the hearts of the audience. Please If you come to act, the audience is easy to play."

Wei Ruxue: "Oh, I really didn't expect that my filming of "The Chill of Spring" would affect my subsequent acting. Jingcheng, forget it this time. You must find a good book and ask me to act in your next film. I will act in it." I told you this time, I want to work with you again."

"I've already started looking for it. The people in my team have been looking for the one that suits you. If you find it, you will definitely make preparations immediately."

After hanging up the phone, Jing Jingcheng sneered.

He thought to himself, before Wei Ruxue's salary came down, he would never cooperate with Wei Ruxue again.Since Wei Ruxue won the Huayu Award for Best Actress, her already high salary has doubled.Of course, with "Cold Cold" in front, there will still be people who are taken advantage of with a lot of money to find her to cooperate.But Wei Ruxue also knew that the scenes that would take those banknotes to find her to shoot were all scenes that made it clear that they wanted to make money.Producers like Jing Jingcheng, who have stepped forward step by step in this industry, attach great importance to each of their projects, because once a project fails, the consequences they will face are much more serious than that of an actor.

For Jingjingcheng, the most important thing for a project is not to lose money, this is the bottom line.Why both Xu Jinbo and Jing Jingcheng handed over the notebook to Zhou Yun?Not only because she is currently the most popular actress, but also not only because of her good acting skills, she even won the Best Actress.For the producer, the most important thing about Zhou Yun is that while all the conditions are in the top area, she has never asked for a lot of money. Her salary is not even half of Wei Ruxue's asking price. Even Su Yan The salary is slightly higher than her.

Of course, this is a very secret matter, not many people in the industry know about it, only the producers who have a deep contact with Zhou Lan know this.

Salary is never the factor that impresses Zhou Yun.

In Zhou Lan's words: "Why can't our Xiaoyun make money? You have to make money from acting. As long as you have a good book, a reliable production team, and you don't have funds, we will bring you money to join the group, help you Let's shoot together with you."

Jingjingcheng is unwilling to use Wei Ruxue, it has nothing to do with age from the beginning to the end, and it has nothing to do with the impression of the audience. It's a joke, if Wei Ruxue can really be recruited to act in this play, then under the influence of "Cold Spring", this film No matter how bad the show is, you can make a small profit, and placing advertisements is a lot of money.

But this premise is - Wei Ruxue's salary does not need to spend half of the production cost of the whole film.
