After the disfigurement I became a superstar

Chapter 333 I Am Shirley Yang's Prototype

As for Shirley Yang's cast, Chen Ge and the others had discussed it two days ago, but Han Xuan was indeed the first to propose Yang Yujia.

But those who knew Chen Ge's identity felt that something was wrong.

Chen Ge also felt somewhat embarrassed.

Although I have nothing to do with this Yang Yujia, she is the ex-girlfriend of the original owner after all.

This Yang Yujia also broke up with the original owner when the original owner needed her the most.

This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is that Yang Yujia actually wants to get back together with her now!
If she were to play Shirley Yang, it would be somewhat embarrassing for the crew to get along with each other.

"Our crew...don't have that much budget."

Chen Ge doesn't have much working capital at the moment. Although Ruan Xiaomei also came in, she has some money, but it's not a lot. For a crew, the budget is quite small.

"Ghost Blowing the Lantern" is expected to shoot 21 episodes, and the budget for each episode is only more than one million yuan, and the total budget is only about 2500 million yuan.

However, some treacherous scenes and "monsters" in "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" still require a lot of post-production, and the post-production cost is quite a lot.

In addition, the construction of some scenes of the crew is also very expensive.

So the money that can be given to actors is very little.

As the most popular young actress in China, Yang Yujia can cost tens of millions of dollars for a play, but the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" doesn't have that much money.

"I can cut my salary. I can play other people's dramas for about 50 yuan an episode, and I can only pay 20 yuan for your dramas."

Without further ado, Yang Yujia cut her salary by more than half.

20 an episode, the whole drama is about 400 million, which is really too cheap for a frontline like Yang Yujia.

Chen Ge was also a little moved.

Because Chen Ge and the others discussed other alternative actors, as long as there are some famous actors, they will also have to pay this price.

Not famous, of course cheap, but the problem is that in the entire cast of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", Yuan Ye played Hu Bayi and Guo Guangmin played Wang Fatty. This play has laid a stable cornerstone.

However, Yuan Ye and Guo Guangmin are not well-known. Although "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" has a lot of fans, the audience of the TV series should also be taken care of.

At this time, the heroine should find a famous actress to play.

20 an episode, that's the price of a second-tier actress, not to mention Yang Yujia, even an actress who is a little worse than Yang Yujia can't be hired at all.

At this time, Yang Yujia was willing to lower his salary, which was indeed a good thing for Chen Ge.

And 20 episodes is indeed within Chen Ge's tolerance.

Instead of 20 people who are less famous and acting than Yang Yujia, it is better to choose Yang Yujia!
It's just that this seems to be taking advantage of Yang Yujia.

"I'm not a big director, and this isn't a big production either. Why did you cut your salary so much? It's not because you feel indebted to me."

Yang Yujia said: "You think too much, I just watched "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" and thought it was good, I like the role of Shirley Yang, her surname is Yang, and I am also surnamed Yang, it is not the most suitable for me to play her Well, as for the salary cut, it is totally acceptable for us to cut the salary a little bit for the dramas that we think will explode in the later stage."

"How do you know that "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will definitely be popular?"

"Because you took it." Yang Yujia said with a playful smile, "I'll believe what you took."

"Will your company agree?" Chen Ge asked.

"You don't need to worry about this. I said 20 is 20. I still have a little right to speak in the company. As long as I tell them that your show will definitely become a hit, they can't disagree."

What Yang Yujia said is correct. Although her acting fee is 50 yuan per episode, if it is a particularly big director, or a film and television drama that is destined to be a hit, it is common for them to lower their salary.

Chen Ge was still a little hesitant, but Yang Yujia said: "Why, if you still refuse to use me under such conditions, then you still have no affection for me, and you are afraid that I will fall in love with me after joining the film crew, aren't you?"

Chen Ge was speechless by Yang Yujia's words.

At this time, Yang Yujia looked at Chen Ge like a rascal: "You still like me, don't you? If you treat me the same as ordinary people, how could it be possible for me to lower my salary so much? You are still hesitant. If others would have I can’t wait to sign a contract with me right away!”

Chen Ge was moved by Yang Yujia.

Since I really have no hatred or love for her, it is indeed very appropriate to find her for the drama "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

Why not agree?

After thinking for a long time, Chen Ge made a decision: "Okay, if you are sure, I can choose you to play Shirley Yang."

Yang Yujia was overjoyed immediately, and stretched out her little finger: "Pull the hook!"

This was Yang Yujia and Chen Xingyu's favorite action when they were together.

But Chen Ge didn't know, he looked at Yang Yujia's expectant eyes, and said: "Children are the ones who pull the hook, adults sign contracts directly."

"Okay, I'll call my agent to sign it right away!"

Soon, Yang Yujia brought her agent and contract to sign the contract.

"We will make a lot of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", so I hope that the starring lineup of the next few films will remain unchanged..." Chen Ge said.

"Okay, I can leave you with the rest of the schedule." Yang Yujia said.

Yang Yujia's agent said: "The remuneration for the next few films should not be so low. This time it is a sincere price for our cooperation. I also want to make a friend of Director Chen."

Yang Yujia said: "After this drama is broadcast, it will definitely become popular. When I have money, I will definitely increase my salary. I also have a real masterpiece. It's a win-win thing. Don't worry about it."

Hearing Yang Yujia's words, Yang Yujia's manager seemed to want to say something, but in the end he held back.

Sure enough, Yang Yujia still had some right to speak.

"Don't worry, I don't want to change the leading role. If the show becomes popular, you all want to continue acting, so we have the same goal. As for the salary, we can negotiate at that time, as long as it doesn't exceed the budget too much." Chen Ge said.

"Okay, hurry up and sign the contract, and then take me to meet other people." Yang Yujia couldn't wait any longer.

Chen Ge didn't expect to decide on the heroine of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" in such a daze.

After signing the contract, Chen Ge told Ruan Xiaomei, Yuan Ye and others about it, and they were also shocked.

Yang Yujia, Huaxia's first-line actress, one of the few popular stars who can stand up to foreign stars, has come to her crew!
With Yang Yujia's current popularity, the ratings of the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" will not be bad!
Originally, the cast of the crew of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" looked a bit like an online drama at first glance, and there were no big stars.

But Yang Yujia's joining made the crew's cast stronger in an instant.

After signing the contract, the production team will officially start.

Zhu Wenzhong and the crew have already arranged the shooting location and some important scenes these days, and they are waiting for Chen Ge to start shooting.

Chen Ge first rented some professional shooting equipment, and then led everyone to start shooting "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"!
