This director is very reliable

Chapter 164 What a big deal, let's change the director (fifth change)
After five months, "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" was completed!
Liu Shishi was very happy.

This is her fourth lead actress!
——She is also the heroine in "Xuanyuan Sword".

But several other dramas didn't bother with this one!

After all, she is also one of the investors in this drama.

By the way, the script has been modified a bit, and the glutinous rice dumpling has become a little girl. The main male star is hard to find, but there are a lot of girl actors, so I found Zhang Zimu.

Liu Shishi liked her very much, and when the production was finished, he even gave her a giant panda doll...

After wrapping up, she went back to Tang Ren's company. Lao Cai always wanted to make a sequel to "Scary Step by Step", so he wanted to strike while the iron was hot. The problem was, there was no original work...

is this a problem
Find someone to write a sequel!

Shi Shi probably read the script for the sequel, and she didn't really want to act - the script is too stinky!

Completely turned into a domineering CEO, all fell in love with me...

But there is no way, Lao Cai is kind to her, and Tang Ren's "Da Mo Ballad" is stuck, the company's funds have problems, and it is urgent to replenish blood. At this time, it is the most sensible choice to make a sequel!

What's more, Lao Cai was bleeding so much that he offered a price of 20 per episode!

She didn't know that after "Scary Step by Step", Liu Shishi's price had already risen to 40?
It would be nice to give you 20...

You are my pick!
Shi Shi directly signed the actor's contract, and then asked Lao Cai: "When shall we shoot?"

"I want to make good use of the original cast, so I have to coordinate the schedule of the actors, which is estimated to be in the second half of the year..."

"The second half of the year... OK, then I'll take a movie first!"

"What movie? Is it directed by Chang Lin? Is there a shortage of actors?"

There were three consecutive questions, and Shi Shi answered the second one: "Chang Lin is in charge of the production, but he is not the director... As for the project, it is still being kept secret. It is a police film, and I have to meet with the director to discuss it in detail!"

Lao Cai hurriedly asked, "Who is the director?"

"Director Cao Baoping!"

……

Rejecting Lao Cai's request to meet with him, Shi Shi took his assistant to BJ, and then went directly to Changlin Company.

Director Cao will come over later.

Guo Songjiang chatted with her, mainly talking about the reservation status of "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms".

"Currently, Dragon TV is the most active. They want the first round of exclusive rights, and we are also interested..."

"Why not Mango Terrace?"

Guo Songjiang explained: "The price of buying dramas on Mango TV is a bit low, and they have their own production company and cooperative company... Dragon TV is more sincere..."

The so-called more sincerity means that you are willing to pay a higher price!
"That's great!"

"...TVs are selling well, but the price of online copyrights has suddenly dropped!"

Last year, in pursuit of scale and vicious competition for territory, major video sites frenziedly snapped up copyright prices all the way up. The average price of an episode of a TV series was around 70-80 yuan, and at most one episode could sell for 100 yuan. More than ten thousand yuan.

The huge investment in copyright purchase by video sites has made copyright owners and distributors a lot of money, while the other side of the balance is the huge losses of video sites: Youku lost 2011 million yuan in 1.72, Tudou lost 5.11 million yuan, iQiyi lost about 5 million yuan, and Ku6, once known as a major copyright holder, completely withdrew from the long video market.

This year, after the merger of Youku Tudou, the copyright market has been cooling down. Video sites tend to favor self-made dramas. The copyright prices of film and television dramas have fallen sharply, and the price of a single episode of drama series copyright has dropped to about 30 yuan.

This is very painful!

Don't worry, "Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" won't be finished until at least October.

While chatting, Director Cao Baoping came.

Liu Shishi quickly stood up: "Director, I'm Shi Shi!"

"...Well, I know you." Director Cao said with a serious expression: "I have seen your film, your explosive power is too weak, and your lines are not good. When I film a film, the most important thing is the actor. Lu Xiaoshi is still the heroine. If According to my temper, it is impossible to give you a chance... But Changlin said 'this script is just for you', let me try!"

"...Then which part shall we try?"

"This part," Director Cao took out the prepared script...

During the formal audition, Guo Songjiang watched the fun on the sofa.

Then, he stopped talking.

……

Let's be honest, Shi Shi's acting skills are really bad!

Otherwise, there will be no marketing of character or a personality that is as indifferent as a chrysanthemum...

She has a poor sense of the camera, and it is not easy to act if she is distracted in acting. She has not received professional training, and her performances lack standardized skills.

Small screen is okay, big screen is a disaster...

The result was that Director Cao was very dissatisfied, and said in front of her that he was going to try Mr. Zhou!
The call Shen Changlin received was from Liu Shishi who cried and complained. She was either complaining or doubting herself... Maybe she is not suitable to be an actress!
"...Who said you are not suitable? Let me tell you, I wrote the play "The Witness" according to your characteristics. You are the heroine, I am determined!"

Shi Shi cried: "But... But Director Cao wants to find Mr. Zhou..."

"It's useless to ask anyone, I said so!"

"...Is there anything you can do to make him change his mind?"

"Why should she change her mind? Just change him. There are many directors, and he is not the only one who can direct plays. Don't be sad, go home and eat something, eat hot pot, and be happy."

"Um…"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Changlin smiled awkwardly at A Mou and Nini: "I'll make another call!"

The two did not speak, and looked at him with smiles. Shen Changlin dialed Guo Songjiang's phone number and said, "Tell Director Cao that it is impossible to change the heroine. It is Shi Shi who is willing to direct. We welcome you. If you don't want to, let's change!"

"Substitution... But the project of "The Witness" has already spread in circles, and Director Cao is still very famous in the field of police and gangster films..."

"...I don't want to repeat it a second time."

Who cares if you are famous or not?

Shen Changlin made "The Witness" just to make his girlfriend happy. Now you tell him that you want to replace Shi Shi?
Isn't this putting the cart before the horse?
Moreover, "The Witness" is produced by Zhang Lin Film and Television, supervised by Shen Changlin, and starred by Shi Shi, which directly brings in 3500 million advertising expenses, which is a must-earn project.

It's good that Director Cao is willing to direct, but if he doesn't want to, forget it and play by himself!
Hanging up the phone again, Shen Changlin sat down, and Ah Mou asked him, "What's wrong?"

"fine…"

"Because I really want to hear you mention Director Cao Baoping?"

Shen Changlin explained with a smile: "There is a project that originally wanted to cooperate with Director Cao, but he was not satisfied with the actors we provided...The cooperation was blown..."

Hearing this, Ah Mou's expression changed slightly: "Are you flattering people?"

"No, I wrote this play. When I wrote it, I used her as the prototype to shape the character. Now that the director says no, it means that he has a disagreement with my aesthetics. Then I definitely can't follow him!"

"Is this how you act as a supervisor?"

"No, it depends on the situation." Shen Changlin hurriedly said: "I don't care about general projects, and I mainly leave it to the director. I wrote the script for this play, so I have the right to speak!"

"...Well, I understand, then you should explain it to Director Cao, after all, he is your senior and teacher."

"Row…"

Seeing Shen Changlin take out her mobile phone, Nini was very anxious, she really wanted to know who the prototype character Shen Changlin was talking about.
