The whole entertainment circle thinks I'm confused

Chapter 23 Interview
Xia Yu was woken up by the vibration of the phone.

After reading the script last night, I was very excited, and I was used to sleeping late in the crew. The jet lag didn't turn upside down. I tossed and turned and was stunned. I didn't fall asleep. It was almost four in the morning when I got back to bed.

"Calling so early, is it Mom?" He scratched his head under his long hair, and the moment he touched the cell phone on the bedside table with sleepy eyes, he felt a 'thumb' in his heart, and suddenly thought of a possibility, opened his eyes and glanced at the phone, The sleepy bugs ran away immediately.

Sure enough, it was not the mother but the young director, Dai Chengbi.

The call is connected.

"Hello, I'm Xia Yu."

As soon as Xia Yu spoke, greetings came from the other side, "Hello, I'm Dai Chengbi. I wonder if contacting you so early will disturb your rest?"

Xia Yu's eyes then shifted to the alarm clock on the cabinet. It was 10 minutes to seven. Although she was very angry when she got up, she could show great patience in the face of work, and she denied it, "No, it was only a few days after the filming was finished. , get used to getting up early."

Dai Chengbi said straight to the point, "Don't mind me, I'm a bit of a tiger, mainly because the script has been in preparation for several years. After communicating with my uncle yesterday, I've been thinking about this matter. , I want to ask if you have read the script? Are you in the imperial capital? Are you free today, let's talk about the details of the script and talk about the signing by the way."

A burst of gunfire.

He didn't say that he had to bite the bullet and finish watching "A Misty Rain in the Republic of China" overnight.

But there is one thing to say, although the plot is hypocritical, it is only an excellent drama compared to the other side, and among the romance dramas, "Misty Rain of the Republic of China" can be called the main drama of romance dramas. It is about a group of students for the rejuvenation of the country. The story of the rise and reading and the war of resistance.

The lines and appearances of the leading actors are all online, plus the high-quality theme song, which will not be outdated in a few years, and are all loved and regarded as classics.

Not counting Xia Yu, the rest of the leading actors have also become popular because of this drama. He sighed with emotion, it is no wonder that the ratings can break the record, and it has not been surpassed so far.

Xia Yu didn't expect Dai Chengbi's active contact, but after exchanging numbers with Cheng Zhiqing, she was ready, and since she was going to contact Director Dai today, it wasn't too sudden.

"I've seen it. It's wonderful. I'm in the imperial capital. I'm free. Do you think it's the afternoon? I don't know where Dai Dao lives in your apartment? Where should we make an appointment?"

Dai Chengbi also politely asked Xia Yu's approximate location, "Yes, that's fine, then at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, it's convenient to add a WeChat? Is it a mobile phone number? See you in the afternoon, and—"

In the end, he told Xia Yu euphemistically that in the afternoon, he not only talked about the script and contract, but also had an audition. It was not complicated, and he needed to leave the country without makeup.

The role of Lin Dan is a psychiatrist. He usually spends most of his time at work. In addition to his growth experience, Lin Dan in the movie basically has light makeup or even no makeup. This is a test of the actor's own appearance conditions.

The big screen is different from the small screen, there are not so thick filters, non-commercial films, and even heavy makeup is not allowed under normal circumstances, which can easily magnify the shortcomings, so it can support the appearance on the big screen, or highlight the characteristics Not many actors.

This is part of the reason why many actors look amazing on the small screen, but they are mediocre or even different on the big screen.

It is a test of the actor's bones and skin.

After the phone call, Xia Yu simply got up and had breakfast before going back to sleep, and woke up completely at ten o'clock.

As for the reminder of the exchange course before going to bed last night, Xia Yu was in no hurry. She didn't know what would happen in the middle, and how long it would take. Today, there is still something to do, so I put it on hold for now until the script contract has been negotiated. Late.

Xia Yu's clothes are of average quality. In the past, everything was done by the team, but now it was Tao Tang.

However, it wasn't a big banquet. She dressed up comfortably and casually. At Dai Chengbi's request, Xia Yu didn't wear makeup. After applying her skin care products, she sprayed a layer of sunscreen spray on her face, and she was all set.

Without sunglasses and a mask, the smog in the imperial capital is still serious these years, and there are not a few people wearing masks.

After cleaning up, she couldn't hold back her beauty, but her temperament and demeanor really had nothing to do with the previous Xia Yu.

After 03:30, the traffic jam in the imperial capital was very serious, so Tao Tang drove the little Chery on the road at 03:30.

The usual 10-minute journey took nearly an hour and a half to reach the destination.

Halfway through, Xia Yu realized that something was wrong with Tao Tang.

In other words, when she sent Dai Chengbi's appointment address, something was wrong.

There was a momentary daze in his expression, and even if he adjusted quickly, it was worthy of Xia Yu's attention, because it was not Tao Tang.

Xia Yu asked with concern, "Sister Tang, are you feeling well?"

Tao Tang shook her head: "It's okay."

The place Dai Chengbi picked was in a hutong, and there were not many people, but at this time, a lot of private cars had already been parked.

There are many wealthy aborigines in the imperial capital in this area, and even the housing prices are a little higher than the area where they live.

This is a small private kitchen, and it is not very conspicuous outside the courtyard. If Tao Tang hadn't pointed the way, Xia Yu would have to find it for a long time, and it was really inconspicuous.

After reporting the name of the private room, only when I entered the courtyard did I realize that it was a different place.

There is a row of rose vines hanging on the walls of the courtyard. The environment is quiet and the antique is all available. It is very suitable for drinking tea and eating a meal.

"Sister Tang has been here before?"

Tao Tang looked a little strange and nodded.

She said it was because of business affairs, but she came here a few times. According to her, the food here is top-notch and well-known in the circle. It’s not too expensive, but it’s not cheap either. It only serves two tables of people a day, so it doesn’t matter. Can't book.

Xia Yu spat secretly, low-key and extravagant, and sure enough, she was short-sighted.

After crossing the courtyard, I saw a double-petaled white begonia standing in the middle of the courtyard. The flowering period was just right. It was as white as snow in the sky, and it was adorned on the emerald green branches and leaves. It was especially beautiful. It was Dai Chengbi.

Literally, his appearance is not good, but he is not short. He is a little taller than the two of them, about 1.7 meters six or seven seven. He still looks pretty reliable when he smiles.

"First meeting, hello, I'm Dai Chengbi!"

"Hello Director Dai, I'm Xia Yu, and this is my manager Tao Tang."

"A girl from Uncle Tao's family?" Dai Chengbi smiled kindly.

"Yes, it's nice to meet you." Tao Tang just smiled, neither of them were entangled in this issue.

This is the second time Xia Yu has heard of the Tao family. She respects Tao Tang and doesn't check it, but she is indeed a little curious.

Several people shook hands, and Dai Chengbi led the two into one of the private rooms, and poured a cup of hot tea for them.

Xia Yu thanked them and took off their masks.

Seeing Xia Yu's plain face, Dai Chengbi's heart finally fell, he stared at Xia Yu's face without makeup for a few seconds, nodded in admiration, there was no strange color in his eyes, and said with a smile, "The audition is over. , it's time to talk about the contract and the script."

He pondered for a while, "My old uncle, Teacher Cheng Zhiqing, should have told you something about me. I really went for the award this time, so I made a big compromise in the script compared to the past. You don't have to worry about passing the trial."

Then he smiled wryly, "However, you should have known me and my previous works, so I really can't get too much sponsorship this time, I'm afraid I'll go to waste like the previous few times, so I think Ask you, the requirements for the salary."

As for the contract salary, Xia Yu had always read it once and confirmed that it was all right. The rest was left to Tao Tang to handle.

Tao Tang straight to the point,
"How much is the total investment for the whole film? Director Dai, how much can you give Xia Yu the most?"

　Thanks for the winter solstice reward~
