Chapter 162
"If Jiang Yan's script is bad, why should I do such a depreciating behavior?"
Qin Deming asked back.
The agent was silent. Qin Deming had worked in the entertainment circle for more than 20 years and became a best actor at the age of 43. He naturally understood the importance of social status.
In other words, Jiang Yan's script was so good that Qin Deming was willing to act in it with a low salary.
"Old Qin, if this movie will allow you to win the Golden Rooster Best Actor Award for the fourth time, let alone 300 million, zero salary will be worth it!"
Dongsheng Company, twentieth floor, Jiang Yan came out of the elevator.
The six stray cats that Jiang Yan adopted in the nearby square before, under the care of Xi Youle, all of them were as fat as balls.
Some are lazily crawling and sunbathing in sunny places, while others are meowing at their desks, longing for the caresses of the employees next to them.
"Director Xiang, what have you been up to lately?"
In the most remote corner of the office area, Xiang Xingxian was in a daze.
Seeing Jiang Yan standing in front of him, Xiang Xingxian smiled.
"I'm preparing for a new movie, but if I want to shoot it, I'll have to wait until next year at least."
Xiang Xingxian scratched his head, staring at the script he wrote on the computer screen.
"Jiang Yan, you came just in time, help me read the script." Xiang Xingxian stood up to make room for Jiang Yan.
"Director Xiang, take a look at my script first, it has already been sent to your email."
Jiang Yan said.
I and Xiang Xingxian are old friends, "New Director" champion 3000 million film investment bonus, Jiang Yan 2000 million, Xiang Xingxian 1000 million.
As for Xiang Xingxian's career as a director, Jiang Yan has also heard a little about it.
It can be summed up in one word.
霉!
Xiang Xingxian graduated from university and joined Dongsheng Entertainment Company. He invested 3000 million yuan in his debut work, and the box office was only a pitiful 200 million yuan. He lost all his money!
Hearing that the martial arts movie market is booming, Xiang Xingxian followed suit in making martial arts movies, and the loss was even worse, and the faces of the executives of the company who lost money were all green.
If it wasn't for the fact that Senior Brother Xiang Xingxian is the famous director Wan Hongbo and the two have a very good relationship, Xiang Xingxian would have been fired long ago.
Some people commented on Xiang Xingxian, eating shit can't keep up with the hot ones.
At the beginning of the year, Xiang Xingxian broke the boat, and his senior brother Wan Hongbo said that the company had allocated 2000 million yuan to Xiang Xingxian to film "The Wave of Thriller", and the box office reached [-] million yuan.
Even so, Xiang Xingxian still did not get the attention of the company's top management.
Eight films were made in ten years, seven of which lost money, and only one hit the box office.
In the eyes of the company's executives, the success of "Thriller Waves" is mostly due to luck. After all, there were no major productions in the same period when it was released, and the market was in a cold period.
Xiang Xingxian sat upright on the chair, carefully flipping through Jiang Yan's script with the mouse.
"Buried Alive"
The story takes place in the war-torn country A. The hero is a truck driver in country B, whose job is to transport supplies between country A and country B.
Once during the transportation, the male lead was attacked and passed out. When he woke up, he found himself lying in a coffin.
There were only three things in the coffin, a mobile phone, a lighter and a pencil.
After the self-rescue failed, the hero fell into despair and prepared to die.
However, a phone call came over suddenly. It turned out that the kidnappers buried the male protagonist in the coffin, demanded a ransom of 500 million, and asked the male protagonist to record a video for help.
Just when the male lead was hesitating, the official asked him not to record a distress video, to reassure the male lead that he had found the burial place alive, and the male lead could be rescued immediately.
The male protagonist had just ignited hope, but it was extinguished by a basin of cold water.
The official burial site found is not where the hero is!
The male lead is full of hope time and time again, but is hit by reality again and again and falls into despair!
"sorry"
With the repeated sorry on the phone, the hero lay in a coffin and was buried alive and stopped breathing!
Snapped--
After reading the script of "Buried Alive", Xiang Xingxian patted the table excitedly, causing the people around him to look sideways at each other.
"Jiang Yan, that's awesome. Compared with your script, my script is a piece of shit!"
Xiang Xingxian pulled Jiang Yan into the stairs.
"Let me calm down." Xiang Xingxian lit a cigarette.
"Jiang Yan, this movie is absolutely popular, but it takes an actor with particularly good acting skills to handle this role!"
Xiang Xingxian said.
"Buried Alive" has only one actor throughout the whole process, and there are no other supporting roles. The movie starts at 10 minutes, which means that the audience can only see the actor in a small coffin throughout the whole process.
Whether an actor's acting skills are good or bad depends on whether the audience has the desire to continue watching!
"What do you think of the actor Qin Deming?"
Jiang Yan looked at the excited Xiang Xingxian.
"The first thing I thought of was actor Qin Deming, but his salary is very expensive, so we must start!" Xiang Xingxian flicked the cigarette ash.
"He has already agreed, I am short of a director now."
Jiang Yan said.
I am not a professional director, Xiang Xingxian is a good candidate.
"Me?" Xiang Xingxian smacked his mouth, his eyes full of anticipation.
Jiang Yan nodded.
As for Xiang Xingxian's reward of 200 million, it is also in line with Jiang Yan's heart price.
"If everything goes well, we can start filming tomorrow."
After talking with Xiang Xingxian about the details of the shooting, Jiang Yan returned to the office, but Zhang Dan had been waiting at the door for a long time.
"Jiang Yan, you exposed your identity in "The King of Masked Singer", and now you are in the limelight. Many variety shows want to invite you as a guest."
"In addition, there are many endorsements and commercial performances, all of which must be named after you." Zhang Dan said with a smile.
Yesterday, her phone was almost ringing off the hook. The directors and endorsers of those variety shows said the first thing they said, is there a schedule for Jiang Yan?
Zhang Dan did not give an accurate answer. Although she is Jiang Yan's manager, Jiang Yan still needs to nod and agree to everything.
"Let's forget about endorsements and commercial performances. I'm not interested. Variety shows can be considered."
Jiang Yan said.
"Buried Alive" is about to start filming, Jiang Yan has to devote most of his energy to this movie, and also spares time every day to write "Covering the Sky" and "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".
"I see. It's almost the end of the month. Do you want to compete for the new song list in October? If you want to compete for the list, I will make preparations in advance." Zhang Dan remembered the most important thing to do when he was looking for Jiang Yan this time.
After "The King of Masked Singer" exposed her identity, Jiang Yan officially debuted.
The number one song on the September new song list is "Daytime Doesn't Understand Nighttime" sung by Jiang Luoli, and it will be October in four days. Zhang Dan wants to know whether Jiang Yan will release a new song to compete for the list.
"Is there a new song list?"
Jiang Yan turned on the air conditioner and felt the cool breeze gradually fill the room.
The Huaxia Music Fengyun New Song List is the touchstone for many singers who have just debuted, and it is also the list with the highest gold content. At the beginning of each month, a large number of singers will release new songs to compete for the list!
"I've never been number one on the new song list."
Jiang Yan said.
Zhang Dan nodded.
"Since you are sure to compete for the new song list next month, I will make preparations in advance to promote it!"
