my crew is not human

Chapter 49 Jiangcheng Film and Television Academy
The Chinese New Year is relatively late this year, the New Year is celebrated in mid-February, and it is already March after the Chinese New Year.

The first thing to do after the new year is to finish the post-production of "Ghost Story" as soon as possible, and then the filming of "Hunting Against Time". The work schedule is extremely tight, and the first priority is to find suitable actors.

This time Li Xianyun planned to find a newcomer. It happened that there was a film and television academy in Jiangcheng, and Jiang Zheng had an acquaintance there who recommended a candidate for them.

In the afternoon, Li Xianyun and Jiang Zheng came to Jiangcheng Film and Television Academy.

Zhu Yue received them on a piece of grass.

The little girl was wearing a yellow dress, tall and tall, with an oval face, a pair of big eyes looking at Li Xianyun, and said directly: "You are the director of Ghost War in the Chamber of Secrets? I have seen that movie, to be honest, it is average."

From the very first sentence she spoke, she knew that the little girl was a bit arrogant.

"It's a bad movie." Li Xianyun admitted with a smile.

"Then how do you guarantee that your next movie won't be a bad movie? I don't want to act in a bad movie." Zhu Yue said.

It's really arrogant.

Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "What you said, Director Li's film made more than 100 million yuan."

Li Xianyun stopped Jiang Zheng.

Jiang Zheng has only been in the industry for a short time, and he is not yet a real insider, so he doesn't understand the thoughts of these people.

For ordinary actors, it's none of their business whether the movie makes money or not?The point is whether it is good for you.

A bad movie with an investment of over [-] million sold for [-] million, a huge loss, but he showed his face.

A movie with an investment of 200 million sells for 500 million, and the investor has made a profit, but the popularity is still incomparable with a bad movie of [-] million.

A small production can never be compared to a big one unless it wins an award.

After two sentences, Li Xianyun has basically "sentenced the death penalty" to the little girl.

At this moment, he casually dealt with a few words, and Li Xianyun took out the script and asked her to read a line, but she was actually reluctant to do so.

Cool.

Li Xianyun didn't want to waste time, so he left with Jiang Zheng and walked around the academy casually to see if he could find any good seedlings.

After walking not far, UFO Guilu appeared automatically.

"Come to eat too!!!"

Huh?
Li Xianyun was instantly excited.

Hope is a director!Li Xianyun thought.

In front of you is a college auditorium.

Because it is the school of film and television, the school here often organizes students to arrange some stage plays to perform on stage, and sometimes they go outside to perform. It is called exercise, but it is actually a way for the school to make money.

For students, this is an internship, and they don't even need to pay wages, but going out to perform will not be free of charge.

A well-run film and television academy often earns more in one year than a large company, especially private schools like the film and television academy, which are mostly ways to make money.

The boss of Jiangcheng Film and Television originally started a company. After opening this academy, he even shut down his own company. He said that he didn't make money, and looked down on the income of the enterprise, so he focused on running the school.

Li Xianyun walked towards the auditorium. At this time, there was no one in the auditorium, and it was empty everywhere.

Jiang Zheng was surprised: "What are you doing here?"

"There is a ghost." Li Xianyun replied.

Jiang Zheng's eyes lit up.

There are ghosts!

Ghosts are quality employees!

There was a melodious singing sound from a distance, and Li Xianyun walked along the singing sound.

When I came to a costume room, there were costumes used in stage plays everywhere, but I didn't see anyone, and there was no wind blowing.

Only a mobile phone on the table was shining. It turned out that the singing was someone else's ringtone.

Li Xianyun walked over, picked up the phone and connected: "Hello."

A girl's anxious voice came from the phone: "Hey, which classmate are you, did you find my mobile phone?"

Li Xianyun hummed: "Yes."

"Where are you?"

"The theater auditorium costume room."

The girl on the other end of the phone was obviously stunned for a moment, but then said: "Wait for me, can I come and get my phone?"

"no problem."

After finishing the call, a few minutes later, two little girls came rushing over. One of them turned out to be that Zhu Yue, and there was another girl next to her, wearing a lavender fitness outfit, white sneakers, vest and shorts, showing her belly button , wheat-colored skin, it looks quite sunny and healthy.

This really made Li Xianyun's eyes shine.

This girl is not inferior to Zhu Yue in terms of appearance, but even worse in terms of temperament and figure.

Sometimes filmmaking does not pursue absolute beauty, but to have characteristics and recognition.

Many glamorous stars on the screen are not necessarily better than others when they fall into the mortal world, but they just have a star halo bonus.

Li Xianyun has seen a lot these years, and he knows that some actors, like Internet celebrities, are not close to the world.

The girl in front of me, in terms of figure, can be regarded as a top ten, and her appearance is also an eight point, she is definitely capable of fighting.

The most important temperament is consistent.

Here Zhu Yue was also taken aback when she saw Li Xianyun.

The girl next to him said, "Hello, did you find my phone?"

Li Xianyun handed over the phone, and the girl took it and said happily, "Thank you very much."

Li Xianyun said: "Excuse me, are you a student of the acting department?"

The girl shook her head and said, "No, I'm from the director department."

Director department?
What kind of director department do you choose if you have the capital?
Li Xianyun took out his business card and handed it to the other party.

The girl's eyes brightened: "Li Xianyun, chairman of Yisheng Media Company? Director, writer, producer, screenwriter? Hey, you really will give yourself a name. A one-man company?"

Li Xianyun smiled awkwardly.

Many people think that adding a lot of names to their business cards is a halo, but in fact, a real big boss doesn't need this at all.

On the contrary, the weaker it is, the more it needs the halo bonus.

This is very effective for some young people, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be very useful for this one.

He has a brain.

Li Xianyun hates two kinds of people, one is arrogant and cannot afford to be served, and the other is intelligent and cannot be fooled.

I was unlucky today, I met two girls, one is arrogant and the other is smart.

The girl has put away her business card: "My name is Dong Zixin, by the way, you can't be the one Yueyue said just now..."

She looked at Zhu Yue, Zhu Yue nodded.

Dong Zixin smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence. How did you come here?"

Li Xianyun replied: "Walking around casually, I wanted to see if there are any suitable actors, but I didn't expect to pick up a mobile phone right after I came in."

Zhu Yue said: "Zi Xin has been in the yoga room all day today, and has never been here. We thought you picked it up elsewhere and brought it here."

Li Xianyun understood: "You think I took it?"

Dong Zixin hurriedly said: "It doesn't mean that, don't get me wrong. In fact, this has happened a lot lately... I don't know why, I keep losing my mobile phone. But luckily, I found them all."

"So you've lost your phone several times?"

"En." Dong Zixin nodded.

"Is that so..." Li Xianyun thought for a while, but did not continue to ask: "By the way, Ms. Dong Zixin, I am preparing to shoot a new film, are you interested?"

"Director?" Dong Zixin asked.

Li Xianyun was helpless: "No, it's an actor."

"That's not interesting." Dong Zixin replied immediately: "My dream is to be a director, not an actor."

Seeing her full of confidence, Li Xianyun suddenly became interested: "Do you have any films you have taken? Show me?"

Dong Zixin immediately sent him a paragraph.

This is a very simple short play starring students, the scene is simple, the actors' acting skills are awkward, and there are no art props, but what Li Xianyun cares about is the use of the camera.

It can be seen that the little girl's basic skills are still solid.

Li Xianyun's weakest right now is his basic skills.

Since I can't find a dead ghost director, it's better to find a living person.

Li Xianyun said casually: "I'm looking for a female lead for a film, and the production cost is 500 million. If you are interested, you can come to audition. If you can participate, I can also let you join the director team and serve as a director assistant."

It's beautiful to say, it's not you who taught me the basic skills, but I gave you a chance!
Dong Zixin's eyes lit up immediately.

She knows how difficult it is for a student to direct a film.

But the girl is not stupid, said: "The director's assistant is just doing odd jobs, right?"

Li Xianyun said directly: "Participate in script revision, storyboard production, and you can put forward your ideas during the specific shooting. You don't need to do chores, after all, you still have to act. You can mention your ideas about the shots, and I will refer to them, but you There is only the right to suggest, not the right to make decisions.”

Dong Zixin was immediately excited, and pointed at Li Xianyun with her little hand: "Write it into the contract!"

Li Xianyun replied: "If it is approved, the film salary will be 35, and the assistant's salary will be less, which can only be [-]. You need to join the group one month in advance to adapt, and the shooting cycle is scheduled for [-] days. Three days. However, our crew follows the editor, and generally there is no need for reshoots, and a non-disclosure agreement must be signed.”

One month to prepare and one month to shoot, and two months to get [-], this salary is also low.

But the other party is a student, which is normal for a student.

The key is a rare opportunity!
Just as Dong Zixin was about to agree, her complexion tightened suddenly, and she looked at Li Xianyun nervously: "By the way, your crew...doesn't have unspoken rules?"

Hearing this, Li Xianyun was overjoyed.

He didn't directly deny it, but said, "Do you know what unspoken rules are?"

Dong Zixin was taken aback.

Although the girl is smart, she still sees little in the world after all.

Li Xianyun said: "The essence of the so-called unspoken rules is not in the unspoken rules, but in the rules! Whether there are unspoken rules is not important, what is important is that its essence is a rule, which is voluntary by both parties. To put it bluntly, even if I want to lie to you, If you don't agree, I can't help it. Because I want to use force, that's not called unspoken rules, that's called rape."

Dong Zixin was stunned.

Li Xianyun continued: "I can't guarantee that there will be no unspoken rules in my crew. You are also an adult. Even if you haven't set foot in society, you should know something about this circle. This kind of thing is normal. If you don’t like it, just don’t get involved. Be careful, as long as you are still in this circle in the future, you will inevitably encounter this kind of thing. Just remember one thing: you don’t want to do it, no one can force you, agree It's voluntary, and it's rape if you force it. Since you don't care much about being an actor, then if others want to sneak into you, they can't do it, so what are you afraid of?"

Li Xianyun described the unspoken rules aboveboard, Dong Zixin thought about it, and smiled: "That's right, when will the audition be?"

"Come here at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

After making an appointment with Li Xianyun, Dong Zixin and Zhu Yue left.When leaving, Zhu Yue looked at Li Xianyun with complicated eyes, probably because she was a little annoyed at her previous arrogance.

Some things are like this. When opportunities come, they are not rare. Once they are lost, they feel lost again.

Watching Dong Zixin leave, Li Xianyun glanced at the ghost talisman.

Come to eat also disappeared.

After thinking about it, Li Xianyun said to Jiang Zheng: "Old Jiang, find some people to investigate this Dong Zixin, and whether there is any death in the college recently."

Jiang Zheng understood: "The ghost is on her?"

Li Xianyun shook his head: "It's hard to say now."
