I'm a movie star on earth

Chapter 376
Li He gave up taking on the drama "Under the Great Qin Empire", but the producer panicked.Such a historical drama requires an actor with extremely strong charisma.

Investors Qujiang Cultural Media and Penguin Films unanimously chose Li He, producers Jiao Yang and Qi Shuai also had no objections, only screenwriter Zhang Jian objected, and he thought Zhang Luyi was more suitable.

When Li He's agent said that Li He rejected the script, Jiao Yang and Qi Shuai were very disappointed, only Zhang Jian was very happy, and he took the opportunity to make an opinion: "If you want me to say it, please invite Zhang Luyi."

Qi Shuai shook his head and said, "Zhang Luyi is indeed a very good actor, but he is not suitable to play Ying Zheng, I don't have that feeling."

Zhang Jian disagreed: "Mr. Li Meng and I wrote the script according to Zhang Luyi's feelings when we first wrote it, and you also saw the photo last time. The restoration picture of Qin Shihuang is very similar to Zhang Luyi."

Sometimes the opinion of the screenwriter is very important, but in front of this magnificent production with an investment of more than 6 million yuan, the screenwriter's words are useless.No matter what the so-called art is for the screenwriter and director, Jiao Yang, as a producer, considers the commercial benefits of the series.

It can be said that in the TV drama market, although Zhang Luyi is a good actor, his market appeal cannot be compared with that of Li He.Moreover, in terms of acting skills, Li He, who has won multiple actor awards, is much better than Zhang Luyi.

Although Li Hyuk's salary is slightly more expensive, but in terms of commercial value, the difference in salary is nothing at all.

Qi Shuai is the producer of "The Great Qin Empire" sent by Penguin Films. His responsibility is very clear, that is, to ensure the success of this drama. Now Li He refuses the invitation, which casts a shadow over the prospect of this drama.

Several people discussed for a long time, but still couldn't resolve the dispute. After the meeting ended, Qi Shuai communicated with Penguin Pictures and explained the situation.Penguin Pictures invested more than [-] million yuan in this drama, accounting for almost half of the investment, so naturally they are very concerned about this project.

In order to understand Li Hyuk's true willingness to refuse, Bai Yubo, the vice president of Penguin Pictures, personally went to the crew to visit the set and visit Li He.

On the set, Li He and Li Qin were making preparations. Li Qin's assistant watched the two talking to each other, and said to Yuanyuan, "Do you feel it? In fact, Mr. Li and our family Li Qin are a good match."

Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense about this, our senior is already the father of two children, and you Li Qin are late."

"Oh, what a pity, they really feel like CP." Li Qin's assistant looked regretful.

While imagining the happy scene of the marriage of two plums, Li Qin interrupted her fantasy: "Xiaoxuan, bring me my water glass."

"Oh, okay..."

After drinking saliva and resting for a while, Li Qin continued to dialogue with Li He.Li He's memory has always been good, and he is good at memorizing his lines, but Li Qin has a bit of a hard time. He NG'd many times because he forgot his words. Although no one blamed her, Li Qin still felt sorry.

"If you want me to say, you can complete the dubbing in the later stage, there is no need to spend time and effort memorizing the lines." Li He suggested.

"That's not okay Mr. Fan, you all have the original lines of the live radio, and I still need to dub it, it's embarrassing." Li Qin also has his own stubbornness.

"Celebrating More Than Years" is the most well-produced drama with the most luxurious cast that she has participated in since her debut. She doesn't want to be confused, so naturally she has to take it seriously.

Li He admires Li Qin's professionalism and will also give him a lot of help.

After correcting the lines for a while, the assistant Yuanyuan came over and said to Li He: "Senior, Bai Yubo, the vice president of Penguin Pictures, is here and wants to discuss things with you."

Li He frowned and said, "What is there to discuss with me? Shouldn't you go to the director and producer if you have something to do?"

"It's not about this. I heard that it's because you rejected "The Great Qin Empire". Sister Duoduo said that Vice President Bai wanted to come and have an interview with you in person." Yuanyuan said.

"OK, I understand, wait until my scene is over." Li Hyuk nodded.

Bai Yubo was very patient. He quietly watched the scene where Fan Xian and Lin Wan'er showed their affection. When Li Hyuk came down to take off his makeup, he went over and said, "The acting is very good. It is indeed right to choose you as the leading actor."

"Thank you..." Li He said politely.

Penguin Pictures also participated in the investment in "Celebrating More Than Years", so Bai Yubo was able to say the story of this drama, a little more polite, Bai Yubo went straight to the topic: "I heard that you rejected "The World of the Great Qin Empire", I came here specially to visit and chat with you , can I ask, what is the specific reason for your refusal?"

After Li He took off his makeup, he said to Bai Yubo: "Let's go back to the hotel and talk..."

Back at the hotel, the two found a secluded place in the tea room on the second floor, and Li Hyuk didn't hesitate to ask questions about the script.

After listening to Bai Yubo, he said that the problem is not big: "We can still correct the problem of the script. There is still plenty of time now."

"It's not just about this problem. If you want to fully interpret this period of history, you need at least more than 100 episodes. But I read the script and planned 78 episodes of the script. Most of them are Gongdou dramas, accounting for more than 60 episodes. There are only a dozen or so short episodes of such an exciting scene of domination of the world, I doubt the level of production of this drama." Li Hyuk said.

Bai Yubo smiled and said: "You don't know this. In fact, at the beginning, this drama was divided into two parts. The upper part is called Dongchu, and the lower part is called Tianxia. It was only later that the producer Jiao Yang considered the market problem and combined them into one. "

"Then continue to disassemble, or extend the series, otherwise the story will be difficult to tell completely. In addition, I suggest that the screenwriter should also change. For the sake of the market, but regardless of the quality of the series, a good main drama has been made into a Gongdou drama. , then what else should Ying Zheng do?" Li He was not polite at all.

Bai Yubo wasn't embarrassed either. After all, he wasn't the one who scolded him. In order to invite Li He, it would not be difficult to change a screenwriter. Who is more important, the screenwriter or Li He, needless to say, everyone will choose Li He.

Li Hyuk talked about a lot of issues one after another, such as the casting of actors, and the selection of directors, as well as suggestions on costumes and make-up, and some suggestions on war scenes.

If other young actors dared to say that and pick and choose so many faults, Bai Yubo would probably ignore him.But Li Hyuk is fine, he has the qualifications and the power. The "Great Qin Empire" project is not that important to Li He, but "Great Qin Empire" must have Li He, without him, the investors may not be able to sleep well.

After a detailed communication with Li He, Bai Yubo went back and joined forces with Qujiang Culture Media to give "The Great Qin Empire" a major transformation.The first is to replace the screenwriters Zhang Jian and Li Meng. Zhang Jian never dreamed that Zhang Luyi, his favorite, did not invite him, but was kicked out by himself.

Then, Penguin Pictures and Qujiang Culture Media jointly put pressure on producer Jiao Yang to bring back series director Ding Hei.Previously Ding Hei resigned from the position of director of the series because of conflicts with Jiao Yang, but this time he was invited back by eight palanquins.

As soon as Ding Hei took office, he immediately began to revise the script. He recruited his assistants Huang Jianzhong and Yan Yi as directors, and himself as the chief director.Then Sun Haohui, the author of the original work, was invited back as the screenwriter, and Liu Heping, the screenwriter of "All Quiet in Peking", was invited to participate in the screenwriting work.

This time the work of the Great Qin Empire was very successful. Under the auspices of Ding Hei, at the end of the year, the first draft of the revised "The World of the Great Qin Empire" was produced. In order to distinguish it from the previous one, it was named "Fu of the Great Qin".

The freshly released script was sent to Li He immediately, and Bai Yubo brought director Ding Hei, screenwriter Sun Haohui and Liu Heping to visit.

At this time, Li He was invited to attend the celebration party of Feng Dapao's new film "Youth" together with Chen Daoming, and some twists and turns occurred at the celebration party.
