Middle Age: A Leisurely Life in the Entertainment Industry

Chapter 308 Signing the studio

Yu Dongqing handed Luo Yun her mobile phone, and Lu Xiaoxi just sent him three script outlines via WeChat.

Luo Yun watched while eating: "This won't work, what kind of thriller, the plot design is too stupid, why do I look like I just want to laugh? But the salary of 200 million is not low."

"This? Overbearing president? I don't think Lu Xiaoxi's temperament is suitable for acting, is it?"

"School drama? This theme is okay. It's just that the plot is too mentally retarded and bloody, right?"

Luo Yun watched and commented, and finally said: "I don't think this script is very good, it must be a bad movie."

Yu Dongqing had already finished a large bowl of noodles at this time, wiped her mouth and took the phone: "Let me see."

After carefully reading the three scripts, it was as Luo Yun said: the scripts are too rubbish.

"To select a general from among the dwarfs, one must be selected for others." Yu Dongqing said finally.

He knew that Lu Xiaoxi was just a fledgling, and hadn't reached the point of being picky about scripts.

Luo Yun nodded, and suddenly thought of something: "Hey, didn't you just sell that script? I think it's not bad to let Lu Xiaoxi play the leading role."

"You mean the movie "To Our Dying Youth"?"

"Yes, this is it!"

When Mingmei wanted to make a campus youth film, Yu Dongqing prepared two scripts including this "To Youth", and finally Mingmei chose "Youth in Youth", and the former was shelved.

Now "Youth in Youth" has exploded, Yu Dongqing, as a screenwriter, has attracted the attention of the film industry.

Unexpectedly, this musician who writes songs very well is also an excellent screenwriter!
Knowing that he still had the script of a youth film in hand, Huangdu Film and Television immediately sent someone to the studio to negotiate, and bought his script for 260 million yuan, and it was shot by a female director named Zhou Limei.

Of course, Luo Yun was in charge of these matters.

Let Lu Xiaoxi play the male number one Zhao Xiaozheng?

In the script, he has a withdrawn personality, handsome appearance, cold temperament, serious work and never gives up halfway. His family is poor, and he is very utilitarian under the pressure of his mother, and he is determined to get ahead.

Lu Xiaoxi's temperament is somewhat similar to that of Zhao Xiaozheng in the play.

"It seems that Director Zhou's production team has already been set up, right? I guess the male lead has been confirmed." Yu Dongqing reminded.

"I'll ask, and give Lu Xiaoxi this chance."

Ah?
Why are you so positive and enthusiastic?

Yu Dongqing glanced at her, a little surprised.

Luo Yun understood what he meant, and said: "The main reason is that I think Lu Xiaoxi is a great potential actor, don't be ruined by bad movies from the very beginning! Of course, I hope he can sign with our studio, which will give him more opportunities. More and better resources!"

Whoops, it turned out to be the idea!

"Okay, leave this matter to me, don't worry about it." Luo Yun asked again after finishing speaking: "Do you still want to eat? Shall I get you another bowl?"

"Enough." Yu Dongqing rubbed her stomach and stood up.

After the Chinese New Year, Luo Yun often cooks delicious food for him, and seems to have gained a few pounds.

It seems that I have to resist the temptation.

Lu Xiaoxi waited anxiously for news from Yu Dongqing, but unexpectedly, there were two beautiful women, one big and one small.

Luo Yun took her assistant Yang Liu, drove to Xiaoxi's residence on Majuqiao Road, Tongzhou, and looked for him.

Lu Xiaoxi didn't know her, so Luo Yun took out her business card and introduced herself, before explaining the purpose of her trip.

"Lu Xiaoxi, Mr. Yu has read the three scripts you sent, and he doesn't think they are very good. If they are filmed, the box office will be very good. An actor with great potential like you should make some good films. Both your acting skills and your future are good."

Sitting on the chair, Luo Yun said elegantly.

"What do you mean?" Lu Xiaoxi was a little confused.

"What do you think of this script?"

Yang Liu immediately took out a stack of papers from the briefcase she was carrying and handed it to Lu Xiaoxi.

"To Our Perishing Youth"

The name sounds nice.

Lu Xiaoxi looked at it seriously.

It's still a campus youth drama, but it's not as dark and cruel as the previous "Youth in Youth", but the plot is still exciting.

It's a good script.

After reading it, Lu Xiaoxi returned the script to Yang Liu.

"Is it still directed by Ming?"

"No, it's director Zhou Limei under Huangdu Film and Television." Luo Yun said.

Lu Xiaoxi had heard the name of this director before, and he was also a famous director.

"Do you want to star in the lead role in the play?"

"miss you!"

"I can fight for you, but there is one condition, you have to sign with our studio." Luo Yun finished speaking and looked at Lu Xiaoxi.

Lu Xiaoxi only hesitated for a second and immediately said: "Yes."

Yang Liu immediately took out thick documents from the briefcase, and said, "This is the specific terms of the contract. You should read it carefully and sign it if you agree. Of course, Mr. Luo meant that if we can't fight for you For the male number one of "To Youth", this contract is void, and the content of this clause has been written in the supplementary contract."

"No need." Lu Xiaoxi looked at the contract and said, "Even if I can't play the male lead, if the contract is suitable, I'm still willing to sign with your studio."

Luo Yun smiled slightly.

"Well then, don't be in a hurry to sign the contract. Take a closer look. If you have any questions, contact Yang Liu, and we'll leave first." Luo Yun stood up after speaking.

"Well, I'll give you an answer as soon as possible, please go slowly."

Luo Yun and Yang Liu left Lu Xiaoxi's residence, and on the way back to the city, Yang Liu asked, "Will Lu Xiaoxi sign the contract?"

"Of course, we didn't cheat him." Luo Yun replied: "You are responsible for this matter, including negotiating with Huangdu Media and Director Zhou."

"Huh? Sister Luo, that's why you trust me?" Yang Liu was surprised.

"You have been with me for two years. The job of an agent is like this, looking for resources, negotiating with the other party to maximize the interests of the artists under the banner. As far as our studio is concerned, with Mr. Yu, there is no shortage of resources in the music world. Let him write songs, but he is still unwilling to ask him to perform, Guo Xin and Zhang Bao now have their own fame in the music scene, not to mention Zhao Yawen, so the job of a manager is very difficult to do well."

Yang Liuting nodded thoughtfully: "Sister Luo, Mr. Yu can write scripts, be a cameraman, and even be a martial artist. Maybe he can be a director?"

"I haven't heard from him, but if he is willing to do it, I don't think it will be too bad. The success rate of screenwriters switching to directors is very high. If the story is well written, why worry about the market?"

This is also true.
"If Teacher Yu enters the film and television industry as a director and shoots a few blockbuster films, then there will definitely be a lot of resources!" Yang Liu said.

"So, it's relatively easy to be his studio manager, and you don't need to find resources from other people." Luo Yun finally said.

"Sister Luo, are you going to retire behind the scenes and be your boss's wife with peace of mind?" Yang Liu suddenly thought of a question and said with a smile.

"What lady boss?!" Luo Yun said angrily.
