Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 150 Dear Boot (at the beginning of the month, ask for a monthly pass)

"Okay, you go look for it first, if you can't find it, I'll look at what I recommend."

Hearing that it was Zhou Xun, Huang Bo didn't say much. He could still earn some money with another person. Forget about this one. There are not many people in the entertainment industry who can compete with her for a role.

It's not that you don't dare to fight, but that you can't.

Their appearance and acting skills are top-notch.

"Thank you, Brother Bo, I'll hang up if there's nothing else to do."

Yuan Hua knew that the person Huang Bo wanted to recommend was Shu Qi. There were not many female stars in his circle who had a good relationship with him, but there were only a few.

In all fairness, Shu Qi is not his No.1 choice.

The image of the jade girl is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. After the transformation over the years, I have tried many roles, but I have never acted as a low-level person. I am a little worried that I will not be able to control it.

Zhou Xun is different. Yuan Hua worked with her when she was on Journey, and she played the role of the female liar very well.

Of course, there is actually a more suitable actress, that is the heroine of this movie in the previous life, Zhao Wei.

But Yuan Hua dare not use it.

It's a pretty good movie, but it was taken off the shelves in the previous life because of Zhao Wei.

After hanging up Huang Bo's phone, Yuan Hua contacted Zhou Xun.

"Sister Xun, what are you doing?"

"There is a play looking for you, heroine, haha, can I still lie to you, don't worry, it's not the kind of two-page lines, you are in the magic city, okay, I am too, then let's make an appointment..."

Putting on his coat, Yuan Hua said to Jing Tian in the living room, "I'm going to see Zhou Xun, are you going?"

"Go, or not." Jing Tian put a mask on his face: "It's hard to explain why I went, anyway, I have to be in the same crew, and there will be opportunities to meet in the future."

"Okay, what do you want to eat, I'll bring it back for you."

"No, get out!"

Don't let her practice dancing, don't let her do yoga, and have big fish and meat grilled in front of her every day. Isn't this harmful, what a hatred.

Yuan Hua sat by the window on the second floor of a coffee shop outside the stall for more than 20 minutes before seeing Zhou Xun get out of a commercial vehicle.

After going upstairs and sitting down, Zhou Xun took off his mask and glasses, and ordered a glass of warm water.

"Hurry up, I have something to catch in the afternoon."

Yuan Hua gave her the outline of the script in the bag: "You should read this first."

The script outline is the outline of the story. If you are not interested after reading the story, there is no need to show the characters.

"Abduction movie, good thing." Turning to the first page, Zhou Xun gave the first comment.

The source of the story is written on the first page, which was adapted and processed from a piece of news a few years ago.

"This kind of realistic subject matter is not easy to handle. If it is played, it will be too fake and not real enough. If it is not enough, it will not poke the point of the audience, and it will not impress people..."

With his eyes on the outline of the script, Zhou Xun's mouth was not idle, and he kept talking.

She didn't tell it to Yuan Hua, but to herself, sorting out the script in this way.

Seeing a third, Tian Wenjun and his wife finally found their child in the countryside. In the process of snatching the child, they were chased by the child's current mother, Li Hongqin, from the village to the outside, and the two sides started a scuffle.

When she arrived at the police station, Li Hongqin cleared her name. It turned out that she was not a human trafficker. The human trafficker was his dead husband. She didn't know that the child was abducted.

"Oh, I'll go, you're walking a tightrope." Zhou Xun raised his head for the first time, and looked at Yuan Hua with autumnal eyes: "Has the script passed the review?"

It is a good thing to promote the greatness of maternal love, but it is not enough to put maternal love on human traffickers.

Not to mention whether the box office is good or not, whether the script can pass the review is one thing.

"It's over." Yuan Hua gestured for her to continue reading.

Lowering his head, Zhou Xun returned his gaze to the script.

There is not only one child in Li Hongqin's family, besides the abducted Pengpeng from Tian Wenjun's family, there is also a little girl who was only a few months old when her husband claimed that she was picked up on the construction site.

As a family member of the criminal, Li Hongqin was sentenced to half a year for failing to report her knowledge, and her two children were also taken away. Pengpeng returned to a normal family. The girl’s DNA did not find her family, so she was temporarily adopted in an orphanage.

In order to get the child back, she found her husband's coworker and asked him to testify that the child was picked up at the construction site. Who knew that the coworker changed his mind temporarily, so she had to sell her body...

"hiss!"

After spending more than ten minutes reading the script outline, Zhou Xun gasped: "So the character I played is Li Hongqin?"

Yuan Hua handed over Li Hongqin's script that had been prepared a long time ago.

This is a complete script.

"I brought them all, you have so much confidence in me?" Zhou Xun took over the script.

Yuan Hua smiled lightly: "I have confidence in the script."

Confident ass, he just brought it just in case, if Zhou Xun didn't like the outline after reading it, he wouldn't take it out at all.

Pressing the script under his elbow, Zhou Xun said, "Who will play Tian Wenjun?"

The script is useless. When meeting a pig teammate actor, no matter how good the script is, she has to ask in advance.

If the opponent's actor is not good, she will recommend it to the producer, and she is also qualified to recommend it. If the producer disagrees, then she will not act.

"I play Tian Wenjun, the second male lead Han Dezhong and Huang Bo, the second female lead Lu Xiaojuan Jing Tian, ​​and the director Chen Kexin."

Zhou Xun frowned when he heard Jing Tian's name, and frowned when he heard Chen Kexin.

"Okay, I'll accept the script, when is the boot time?"

"Around the eighth day of the Lunar New Year." Yuan Hua paused, "Sister Xun, I have to tell you something in advance. This is a public welfare film, the investment will not be too large, and the actors' salaries are not high."

"How much do you say directly?"

Yuan Hua tried: "100 million."

The remuneration of actresses in the entertainment industry is generally higher than that of male actors. Zhou Xun has several actresses, and he is at the top among first-line actresses. The film remuneration is around 600 million.

When he opened his mouth, he cut directly to the heel, which was a bit ruthless.

But there is no way, this movie is doomed not to make money, the production cost will increase as the actor's salary is high, and he is the one who loses in the end.

"100 million?" Zhou Xun smiled: "That is to say, if you dare to say this, I won't bother you if you change it to someone else."

"So Miss Xun, you agree?"

"What can you do if you don't agree? You have come to the door in person, and it's not the first time I've helped you. If you refuse, you'll have to find Huang Lei to bother me later, right?"

"Okay, I've taken the script and outline with me. I'll join the team a week before the start, let's call."

Zhou Xun came and left quickly. Before leaving, he said to Yuan Hua: "You owe me another favor. Next time you have a good script, remember to find me."

It was obvious that she liked the script very much.

After being robbed of the queen of the movie, she tried her best to accept a few films, but none of them won an award.

Seeing that the younger generation is catching up, it is impossible to say that there is no rush. After finally encountering a good script, of course it must be won. The salary is a little bit less, and 100 million is not unacceptable.

After Hua Yi came out, she started a company and became the master of the house. Without the middleman of the brokerage company, she made a lot of money, and the 100 million yuan was much more than before.

After Zhou Xun was settled, Yuan Hua called Tong Dawei instead of leaving the coffee shop.

This show is still short of a male number three, Lawyer Zhang.

In the first half of the film, the main characters are Tian Wenjun and his wife, Han Dezhong, and in the second half are Lawyer Zhang and Li Hongqin.

In the previous life, my dear, in order to take care of Tong Dawei, this drama added a lot of scenes to him.

When writing the script, Yuan Hua deliberately cut some scenes of Lawyer Zhang and strengthened Han Dezhong.

"Brother Dawei, I'm Yuan Hua, I have a play here, directed by Chen Kexin, starring Zhou Xun and me, the second male number Huang Bo, and the third male number is short, are you coming?"

"Let me think about it."

Tong Dawei didn't want to be Yuan Hua's partner, the two of them had almost the same status, so why should he be a partner, but when he heard about Huang Bo, Zhou Xun, Chen Kexin hesitated again.

There is no doubt that this is a big lineup, and the opportunity is rare, but the male number three is a bit awkward.

"To tell you the truth, I went to this film to win awards. Come on, I will report your name for this year's Hundred Flowers Award for Best Supporting Actor."

"Good guy, you nominated me for Best Supporting Actor even before the movie was shot. This big pie is drawn, okay, you can send me the script, and I'll take a look."

The best supporting actor is still very exciting.

Although not as good as the Best Actor, but there are only a few Best Actors a year, so let's have fun if you can win the best supporting actor.

In the evening, Tong Dawei answered the phone and agreed to act. Yuan Hua asked specifically if Hua Yi agreed, and he said that his agent had already agreed.

Where is Zhao Liying's lessons learned from the past, Yuan Hua had to be cautious, and asked Yang Siwei to draft a contract and send it to Hua Yi for signature, following the formal procedures.

Otherwise, when the movie was about to be released, Hua Yi would ask him for exorbitant compensation as an artist without the consent of the company, so why would he cry.

……

"Huako, are you still coming to the second season of the first grade of the university season?"

Two days before New Year's Eve, Yuan Hua received a call from Chen Chen as soon as he returned home after shooting the magazine.

The benefit of the free song is the covers of eight magazines and three major endorsements. This is what he is busy with during this time.

"No, I'm going to start the machine soon, I don't have time."

"Then why don't you ask Jing Tian? The salary is easy to talk about."

Yuan Hua looked at Jing Tian, ​​who was on the side. He was using the speakerphone. At home, as long as it was a woman's phone, he would usually use the speakerphone.

Jing Tian shook his head, Yuan Hua didn't go, why would she go?

"She probably won't be able to go either."

"That's a pity. It seems that I can only find Huang Xiaoming."

"I'm sorry, Sister Chen, I really have something to do here, and there is nothing I can do to help."

Based on what he knew about Huang Xiaoming, if he and Jing Tian didn't go, Huang Xiaoming probably wouldn't go either. The reason why he came last year was because he had a lot of acquaintances and ample schedule.

"It's okay, hang up, I wish you a happy new year in advance, by the way, I sent you some small New Year gifts, have you received it?"

"Got it, Sister Chen, what a small gift you have here, it's already a big gift, why, got promoted?"

The gift was signed by Jing Tian yesterday, and it is very expensive. Chen Chen gives gifts every year, and this year is the most expensive one.

"Ham, it's a level up. It's not worth mentioning. I'll treat you to dinner later."

Listening to the laughter on the other end, Yuan Hua was sure that he had been promoted. Tomato Satellite TV was a public unit, and it was not easy to get a first-level job.

And it's the first level, who knows what kind of position is added.

……

Just after the first day of the Lunar New Year, Yuan Hua and Jing Tian joined the group.

He still uses his previous life name in this play, my dear.

The filming location was selected in the first-tier city Shencheng, but it was located in a village in the city.

The director is Chen Kexin, and the shooting team is also his.

In order to direct the play smoothly, these bigwigs usually have their own team. After finding out that their company has a post-production team, Yuan Hua also handed over the task of post-production.

Lao Chen provides one-stop service from director to production.

Of course, there is also a lot of money, no discount at all.

Yuan Hua has sought out investors for this movie, and they are not stupid. When they saw that it was a public welfare movie, they didn't invest in any of them. It was clear that they were losing money.

There is no way, Yuan Hua carried all of them, a total of more than 400 million.

Among them, Lao Chen took 60.00%.

Because the movie can't make money, no publicity company dares to take over, and Yuan Hua has to carry the publicity part by himself, which is estimated to be 600 million.

Back and forth, he took in 2000 million.

Losses are bound to be lost, Yuan Hua had expected it long ago, it's just a matter of more losses and less losses, the better the box office, the less losses.

He didn't go for this movie to make money, just like what Tong Dawei said, he just went to win awards.

This year's Popular Film Hundred Flowers Award for best actor nomination, he must occupy a pit.

He was tricked by Hua Yi once last year, and he knew that it is better to rely on others than on himself. Didn't you refuse to sign up for me?

"Hello, Director Chen, I'm Yuan Hua."

In the five-star hotel in Shencheng, Yuan Hua met Chen Kexin. Since the establishment of the dear project, the two had talked on the phone many times, and this was the first time they met.

"Hello."

Chen Kexin has a thin face, has the same hairstyle as Chen Haonan, and wears a pair of big framed eyes. She looks more than 50 years old and speaks very elegantly. She doesn't have the airs of a big director at all.

"Hello, Director Chen, I'm Jing Tian."

"Hello."

After the list of actors was finalized, Chen Kexin deliberately checked the actors' information, and the only one who was a little worried was Jing Tian.

The other actors are easy to say, Huang Bo, Yuan Hua, Zhou Xun, the strength is there, he is worried that Jing Tian is too young, and may not be able to control the role of Tian Wenjun's ex-wife Lu Xiaojuan.

When we met today, I found that Jing Tian was not the same as the photo.

She is slightly fat, with full features, and her hair is permed into big waves. If she wears a middle-aged woman's hairstyle and wears outdated clothes from a few years ago, she can still play Lu Xiaojuan.

27 Eight years old beautiful young woman, very nice.

The New Year has just passed, not only Yuan Hua and Jing Tian joined the group ahead of schedule, Zhou Xun, Huang Bo and Tong Dawei also came.

In the early morning, all the leading actors of the crew arrived.

After everyone had a meal, they held a script seminar in the afternoon, and followed Chen Kexin to the village in the city to watch the shooting scene in the evening.

"Yuan Hua, how about you sit there and take a camera to see the vision?"

"No, the cabinet has to be moved and changed location, the light is not good."

"Don't stand in the alley, all go away..."

As soon as she entered the working state, Chen Kexin immediately changed into a different person and became very serious. She had very high requirements for shooting, lighting, space structure, and lens aesthetics, almost to the point of harshness.

In the next few days, everyone was used as a tool by him, until the day before the filming started, Zhou Xun was called away.

Chen Kexin asked her to go to the countryside, where Li Hongqin's house lived, and then go to shoot her after the filming here is over.

If they don't pass a day, Zhou Xun will have to stay in the country for an extra day.
