I am popular in the entertainment circle

Chapter 85 Actually, I'm Not Going to Pay
Meng Ran gave Shi Jiayue time to consider whether she should play this role.

Shi Jiayue hesitated and finally asked,

"If I were to play this role, who would be your assistant?"

Meng Ran was speechless,

"Don't worry about this. When I find someone to be my assistant, I prefer her to be my tutor, so if you want to play this role, we will join the group together, and I can save some travel expenses."

Shi Jiayue couldn't help laughing when she said this.

She told Meng Ran,
"Then I agree."

Meng Ran was surprised,

"Don't you need to discuss it with your parents first?"

Shi Jiayue's eyes were firm,
"If I tell my parents, they will definitely not agree. Let them think that I am working part-time as an assistant. I will try the life of an actor first. If I think I can persist, I will tell my parents, no matter what. Whether they support it or not. If I don't, then forget it, and it will be a good experience in my life."

Meng Ran didn't try to persuade her anymore, she just said,

"That's fine, you are now an adult, and you can be your own master."

Nor will she insist on having a guardian.

Of course, video recording is a must.

Who knows when this kind of accident will come, and you must be prepared for it.

Meng Ran chatted with Director Zeng online, and the two started arguing about the salary, and she also began to train Shi Jiayue, letting her know how to stand, how to face the camera, and how to express her emotions.

Although she didn't see the script, she saw the character design, and that was enough.

She can simulate relevant clips to train Shi Jiayue.

What made Meng Ran more satisfied was that Shi Jiayue was not too stupid and learned quickly.

In this way, there is no need to worry about the acting skills of the first female lead and the second female lead. If the persuasion and special effects are done well, this movie may explode.

It is impossible to say with certainty that a certain drama or movie will explode.

Let's not mention that Meng Ran doesn't know much about the entertainment industry or Dahong's TV series and movies. After all, she is a senior in high school and has no time to pay attention to these.

Even if she understands it well, the situation on both sides is different, and if it can explode there, it might be unacceptable when it comes here, so it is a test of Meng Ran's investment vision.

But Meng Ran never learned.

Then she can only follow her own judgment.

Next, she wants to read Director Zeng's script.

If the script is also passed, then Meng Ran will discuss the possibility of investment with Director Zeng.

And she has set the tone for investing.

She's not going to invest money, she's going to invest her time and skills.

The filming of the movie is faster than the TV series, even if it is delayed, it will only be delayed for a month, and she can afford to waste only one month.

A few days later, Meng Ran and Director Zeng met again.

Director Zeng looked at the young girl in front of him with complicated eyes.

He knew very well that Meng Ran wanted to join his crew, just like buying vegetables, only those who really wanted to buy would try to bargain hard, and those who didn't mean it would not waste time arguing with him at all.

But even if he was absolutely sure of this, he couldn't paralyze the other party. This person directly subverted his thinking about young people.

How wise and close to a demon.

These four words popped up in his mind.

Director Zeng smiled helplessly,
"Miss Meng, let's open the sky and speak honestly. I really can't give that much in terms of remuneration. You also know that I am just a new director, and what I want to shoot now is still an unpleasant subject."

That's right, Blue Star does not prohibit the release of ghost films, but the box office of ghost films is not very high, and there are too few well-made ghost films.

However, the particularity of this theme determines that only a small number of people will be interested in it, far from being as popular as those family-friendly movies.

The market determines demand, and few directors are willing to develop in this direction.

"Because I'm not favored, I can get very little investment. If too much money is spent on actors' remuneration, the funds in other aspects of the show will be reduced. This is not what I want. I believe Ms. Meng will not I hope that there will be more such a bad film in my resume, we can seek common ground while reserving differences, and each take a step back."

Then he said another number, 100 million.

Meng Ran thought of the pitifully small amount of investment he had gotten, and knew that the 100 million might be the other party's bottom line.

To be honest, she was a little moved at this moment.

100 million is currently the majority of her net worth, and if she can double her net worth in just over a month of shooting, this is definitely a good deal.

But since Meng Ran had made an investment plan, facing the temptation of high salary, he did not give up, but said,
"Since Director Zeng is willing to tell me the truth, I won't hide it anymore. I want to read the script."

Director Zeng immediately looked at Meng Ran with vigilant eyes. Could this person be planning to cheat the script?
Meng Ran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so she had no choice but to express her thoughts,

"To be honest with Director Zeng, I actually have a plan to invest in the crew."

Director Zeng's eyes lit up,
"How much do you intend to invest?"

He spoke in a particularly urgent tone.

The light in his eyes seemed to see a large lump of gold.

Meng Ran backed away slightly, expressing that she was not used to it, and only after Director Zeng sat back did she say slowly,
"Actually, I don't intend to pay."

Director Zeng's complexion changed. If he hadn't talked to Meng Ran these few days and knew her a little bit, he really felt that this person was playing tricks on him.

But now he is willing to listen.

Meng Randao,
"Although I don't plan to contribute money, I can also contribute. In addition to being an actor and a makeup artist, I can also work as a part-time prop artist, and I can contact a powerful special effects team. With my favor, he can call you 5% off. These are used as my investment, I don't want a salary, I want a box office dividend!"

Facing Director Zeng's renewed excitement, she said lightly,
"The premise is that the script satisfies me."

"Of course, if you are worried that I am deceiving the script, we can sign a non-disclosure agreement. I also believe that you have applied for copyright certification for this script. How about it, can you show it to me?"

Director Zeng said solemnly,
"can."

The two finally reached a consensus.

Director Zeng sent the script to Meng Ran directly through WeChat.

Meng Ran leaned on the back of the chair and slowly looked up.

While watching, communicate with the system in your mind,
"Little system, I should not be your first host, have you ever watched a horror movie before, what do you think of this script?"

Meng Ran has no experience in this area.

At best, she can only see whether the story is wonderful from the reader's point of view, but can her taste overlap with the public?
Can this script pass the test of the market?

These require very specialized skills.

The system didn't want to talk, it was silent for a while before it was full of resentment,
【Host, you can't squeeze me like this!I'm not like you who can unlock skills and learn them naturally. If I want to use this skill, I have to learn it from scratch! 】

Although, as an artificial intelligence, he learns very quickly, but he still has to learn.
