"Annual meeting?"

"Yes, the shareholders of the company will be there at that time, and the artists under Shenghuang will also participate in this annual meeting. Basically, every artist participating in the annual meeting will have to dress up and perform a show."

"You remember to prepare a program, whether it's singing or dancing, or playing your song 'Chu' is also good."

Qin Jie bent her lips: "The year-end awards will also be distributed at the annual meeting, this must not be missed."

"Year-end award?" Lin Yuchu's eyes lit up.

Qin Jie nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "The price of the year-end awards issued by the company to artists of different levels is different. Of course, it is not only artists who have year-end awards. Managers like us, as well as Ran Ran All kinds of assistants will get a good year-end bonus from the company."

"Okay, Sister Qin, I understand. I will work overtime starting tomorrow, trying to improve the filming progress of "Silent Silence"."

At that time, not only will you have to set aside half a day to choose a dress with Qin Jie, but you will also have to ask Director Qi for a day off on the [-]th day of the new year.

Stars in the entertainment circle basically work year-round when they have jobs, and the crew basically rarely gives actors a holiday in order to catch up with the shooting schedule.

Generally speaking, it is the actors who work overtime in advance to improve the progress and then ask for leave, or ask for leave first, and then work overtime to make up for the missed shots.

And "Silent Silence" will participate in the film festival held in Berlin in December this year. The time is tight. Even if it is a festival like the New Year, it is easy for Qi Baixin to give the cast and crew a holiday.

As if thinking of something, Lin Yuchu suddenly paused: "Sister Chu, the company has set the time for the annual meeting on New Year's Eve, won't it collide with its artists?"

If any actor under Sheng Huang was invited by a certain TV station to participate in the live broadcast of the New Year's Eve party, wouldn't it be a bump in the schedule?

Lin Yuchu had never participated in the company's annual meeting, so Qin Jie was not surprised that she asked such a question.

"The annual meeting starts in the morning. Artists who receive an invitation from a certain TV station to participate in the New Year's Eve party will basically adjust their schedule. It is also normal for them to choose to go to the TV station to rehearse in the afternoon after attending the annual meeting at the company. , and the New Year’s Eve party of some TV stations is recorded in advance, so the problem of hitting the schedule does not exist.”

Lin Yuchu was thoughtful: "So it's like this..."

Grandpa Lin and Grandma Lin were silently eating wontons, and learned something about the entertainment industry from Qin Jie.

For the company's annual meeting, Chuchu has been busy working overtime recently to make time for the New Year's Eve.

She should be very busy during the New Year's Eve, and she probably won't be able to have a reunion dinner together during the New Year's Eve. Thinking of this, Grandma Lin will inevitably feel a little lonely.

She quickly covered up the loneliness in her heart, patted the back of her granddaughter's hand, and said with a smile: "Chuchu, then you have to choose a beautiful dress and dress up for the company's annual meeting! "

Lin Yuchu nodded in response, but he thought in his heart that he would finish his company trip early and go home to have a reunion dinner with his grandpa and grandma.

She didn't have many schedules, and she didn't receive an invitation from the TV station. Apart from attending the company's annual meeting on New Year's Eve, she really had no other work.

After supper, the two old men sat for a while, and then were urged to rest by Lin Yuchu.

After grandpa and grandma went to bed, they had almost finished their supper, and after washing off the oil stains on their hands, she picked up the scripts on the sofa and watched them one by one.

These five scripts are all the result of Qin Jie's careful selection.

The script she got is also complete, and she can see the advantages and disadvantages of the script in all aspects, so she doesn't have to worry about what happens after signing the contract with the crew, only to find out that the seemingly good script is actually a big pit.

There is a famous Xiaohua in the industry who has suffered such a loss. Obviously her acting skills and popularity are good in all aspects, but because of the relationship between filming and changing the script in the later stage, the response after the broadcast was mediocre.

That's why Qin Jie was cautious and prudent in choosing scripts. He basically didn't consider scripts with only one character biography.

Of course, a large part of the reason for this is because Lin Yuchu signed a gambling agreement with the company.

She has no shortage of scripts, which is why she is so willful in choosing scripts.

The first script that Lin Yuchu opened with his fingertips was an e-sports script called "Strength and Weakness".

After a cursory glance at the script, it mainly tells the story of a group of passionate youths who put in a lot of hard work in order to become professional players, and finally became professional players as they wished and won the championship.

If you don’t read the content of the script, you may feel that the script of this theme is a bit boring, but it is not the case. In addition to the main line of the game, there is also a story between the heroine and a group of young people who are also working hard for their dreams. It is also quite touching. of.

Among them, Lin Yuchu's most amazing line is:
"—You are an individual first, and then you have gender. There is no distinction between men and women in e-sports, only strong and weak."

Although Lin Yuchu doesn't play games, he agrees with this sentence very much. There is really no need for games to be serious for the sake of gender, and some games are only divided into strengths and weaknesses.

And the name of this script is just like the finishing touch, highlighting the core content of the whole movie.

She was still wondering why the name of the script was called "Strength and Weakness". When she read this, she suddenly felt enlightened.

It turned out to be the case.

Lin Yuchu showed an interested look on his face, Qin Jie raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw this, "Chuchu, are you interested?"

"The script of "Strength and Weakness" is very interesting. I like the line in it very much."

Qin Jie nodded and agreed: "You said that e-sports has no gender distinction, only strong and weak lines?"

Lin Yuchu nodded.

Zou Ranran exclaimed: "Well said! I have to say that the screenwriter who wrote this script really knows how to capture the hearts of those who love to play e-sports!"

"Ran Ran is right. Most of the audience for this script is those who play games. Are you interested? If you are interested, you can follow up. After you finish filming the scene of "Silent Silence", you can audition."

After finishing speaking, Qin Jie then added:

"But you don't need to give me an answer in a hurry. You can read the scripts later. The five scripts I found for you are all carefully selected. The starting time does not coincide. If you are interested , then we can try all these five scripts.”

Lin Yuchu was taken aback for a moment, and immediately realized that he had signed a three-year gambling agreement with Sheng Huang. It has been almost half a year now, and he would definitely take on more dramas in the days to come, otherwise he wanted to complete this match The gambling agreement might be a little difficult.

Zou Ranran's mouth opened into an "O" shape, and an egg could be stuffed in.

"Sister Qin, Sister Chu has received so many scripts all at once, will it cause fans' visual fatigue when it's broadcast?"

Qin Jie chuckled, her tone full of determination: "No."

"Ran Ran, let me ask you, you have also joined several production crews with Chu Chu, do you think Xie Rong'an is Chen Mo? Or is it Ye Feiyao?"

Without thinking about it, she retorted subconsciously: "Of course it's different, Xie Rongan is Xie Rongan, Chen Mo is Chen Mo, Ye Feiyao is Ye Feiyao! How is it possible..."

Before she finished speaking, Zou Ranran quickly realized, yes, why should she worry that the fans will get visual fatigue when the movie is released?

What her first sister acted like was completely out of face, and no one could put Xie Rongan and Chen Mo together, so there was no need to worry about it.

If you were a fan, wouldn't you be screaming with excitement when you learned that many movies about your idol are about to be released?

She patted herself on the head and muttered: "Be more aggressive, why can't you turn the corner at a critical moment..."

Qin Jie shook her head and smiled lightly. Ran Ran's appearance was very much like her when she first entered the industry.

Lin Yuchu couldn't laugh or cry, calmed down his thoughts, and carefully read the next few scripts.

The script I read next is a small-budget cookie, and the name of the movie is "From School Uniform to Wedding Dress".

Although "From School Uniform to Wedding Dress" has not yet found a male and female lead, the director has initially set the film's release time on May 5 next year, which has a very clear positioning for the audience.

From the name, you can guess the general direction of the plot. The story starts from the childhood of the hero and heroine. The two are childhood sweethearts, but they are a pair of living enemies. As long as the two stay together, there will be no time for rest.

Later, after going to university, the second male lead appeared to confess his love to the female lead, and the male lead finally understood his intentions, and then started a series of stories of pursuing the female lead.

Apart from being sweet, the whole plot has basically no major problems, but the scene where the male and female protagonists fight each other and play tricks on each other seems very bright.

Lin Yuchu reckoned that it was because of this reason that Sister Qin gave her the script.

She hasn't tried such a role yet, and what Sister Qin said just now is definitely not aimless. The purpose of the five scripts given to her should be to let her take it together.

Lin Yuchu has never acted in such a role before, but he also thinks that he can take on "From School Uniform to Wedding Dress" and try it out, as a way to hone his acting skills.

As far as this plot is concerned, there are still good bright spots. Lin Yuchu made up his mind instantly, put "From School Uniform to Wedding Dress" aside, and picked up the next script to browse.

Qin Jie observed her expression silently, and knew her to a certain extent. Seeing her like this, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Among the scripts selected by Qin Jie, apart from Lin Yuchu being more interested in the heroine roles in "Strong and Weak" and "From School Uniform to Wedding Dress", the rest are interested in the third female lead in a suspense drama. I'm more interested in another character who is the second female lead with one person playing two roles.

These scripts are good both in terms of plot and character creation, and the timing of the start-up does not conflict with each other. Lin Yuchu is quite satisfied with these scripts and decided to audition for these four scripts.

but……

Lin Yuchu turned his head to look at Qin Jie: "Sister Qin, didn't you say that there are five scripts, why do I only see four scripts?"

Qin Jie opened his mouth, his eyes were full of hesitation, he pondered for a moment, as if he had made up his mind, his expression instantly became serious.

"I don't recommend you to audition for another script."

"why?"

"Why?"

Lin Yuchu and Zou Ranran almost spoke in unison, and were very curious about the reason why Qin Jie refused to let go.

Qin Jie's expression was serious: "Because the filming location is too dangerous, and the entire crew is in danger of dying at any time, so I don't suggest you go."

She was very hesitant in her heart, because the script was really well written, and it would not lose at all to "Silent Silence", which was very likely to win an award. This was also the reason for her hesitation.

All the other actors in this script have been found, only the role of the heroine has not been found for a long time.

The fact that the director asked the actresses to audition must know how to use a bow and arrow, and the fact that they can accurately hit the bullseye 200 meters away has stumped many people!

If there is only this point, it is not particularly difficult.

But the weight of the bow and arrow has reached nearly 200 catties. While picking up the bow and arrow, the actress has to accurately hit the bullseye [-] meters away.

Whether you can draw the bowstring is a problem, let alone accurately hit the bullseye 200 meters away!
Bows and arrows extremely test a person's physical fitness, and vision, arm span, and strength are indispensable.

It's not that Qin Jie underestimated the current female stars in the entertainment industry. Basically, there are very few actresses who can hold a bow and arrow that weighs 200 pounds, draw the bowstring, and shoot the bull's-eye [-] meters away.

This is the fact.

Even Lin Yuchu is not optimistic about it. If the weight of the bow and arrow is lighter, she can learn it if she doesn't know how to bow and arrow.

But the weight is as high as twenty catties, even if it is a man, it may not be able to draw the bowstring.

To meet the director's requirements, it is far from being accomplished in a day, and the shooting of shooting bows and arrows in the middle requires the actors to complete it by themselves, so the difficulty can be imagined.

Another reason is that the filming location was in northern Myanmar, so Qin Jie would rather miss the script than put Lin Yuchu's life in danger anytime and anywhere, so she didn't bring the script.

There were even several actors who were so frightened that they regretted immediately when they heard that the filming would be filmed in northern Myanmar.

The director also found a few actors one after another. The salary was very high, and he also promised to hire mercenaries to accompany him for protection during filming. Only then did he find actors for roles other than the heroine.

Since he couldn't find the person he wanted in the entertainment industry, the filming was put on hold, and the director was considering whether to find actors from places like underground boxing rings.

"Northern Myanmar?!"

That's a place where people will be choked up. The chaos in that place is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. How could the director shoot in northern Myanmar?

Zou Ranran really couldn't figure it out.
