The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 489 Zhang Yi, don’t be nervous
The weather in Yanjing is cool in May. You don't need to turn on the air conditioner. Just turn on the fan and turn it to the first setting, which is very comfortable.

Traveling by car at this time is even more comfortable.

The breeze, the sunshine, the fragrance of flowers, and the beautiful girls are all lovable.

At eleven o'clock in the morning that day, Zhang Yi was sweating profusely in a small car by the Liangma River, and his manager was fanning him next to him.

Zhang Yi took deep breaths continuously and took out a tissue to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

He was not in very good condition. His eyes were obviously bloodshot, the dark circles were obvious, and his face was thin and dark.

He had just finished filming a TV series and returned to Yanjing from Hengdian. After getting off the plane, he rushed to the headquarters of Fenghua Film and Television Company with his agent.

However, the car provided by the company did not have air conditioning.

Zhang Yi had been feeling tired recently, her body was tired and she was nervous, so she was sweating.

The agent advised from the side: "Don't be nervous. Since Director Li has chosen you, as long as there are no obvious mistakes on our part, the role will be yours."

Zhang Yi has been acting in dramas in his early years, and he really entered the industry in [-].

This time, Lee Sung-yao's new film will cast two young actors, the first male lead and the second male lead.

Zhang Yi went to Fenghua to audition with the attitude of giving it a try.

Unexpectedly, it finally happened. It is said that all the young actors in the Chinese film and television industry auditioned. He did not expect that he could succeed.

The day before yesterday, I received a call from Li Shengyao's assistant. It happened that Zhang Yi's role was finished. He packed up a little and hurried to Yanjing under the envious eyes of his friends.

Before he even went home to tidy up, he came over with his agent.

I just wanted to sign the contract and finalize the matter.

The news of Brother Xiao Ming's successful signing has been confirmed, and Zhang Yi now wants to see his name appear on the news pages of major entertainment sectors.

But when he was sitting in the car, he thought about Lee Sung-yew's previous movies and became inexplicably nervous.

He regretted coming over as soon as he got off the plane, and now he was sweating.

The agent's words did not make Zhang Yi feel any better. He wrinkled his nose and sniffed, as if he smelled a sour smell of sweat.

"Let's go back first. My image is too bad like this. I want to take a shower, and then find a makeup artist to put makeup on me. Then I can go to see Director Li again after feeling refreshed."

Zhang Yi knows very well that he is not handsome. He has known this since he was a child.

He didn't care much about his appearance in the past, but he was really nervous once and wanted to leave a good impression on Director Li.

"Okay, then let's go back first, take a shower, change clothes, and do some styling. Then we'll see Director Li again in the afternoon."

Zhang Yi nodded and thought for a moment, "Will Director Li be there this afternoon? Do you want to ask first?"

"I forgot about it. I will ask his assistant now to tell him the news about our return to Yanjing."

Four hours later, Zhang Yi, wearing a white shirt, black trousers, and black leather shoes, arrived at the headquarters of Fenghua Film and Television Company with her agent very formally and met Director Li.

Zhang Yi has only been in the industry for four years. He was not eligible to participate in the Golden Rooster and Golden Elephant, or the Shanghai Film Festival. He had never met Li Shengyao in real life.

Seeing Director Li at this time, Zhang Yi's first impression was how handsome he was.

He is a tall man of over 1.8 meters, with a figure that is obvious from regular exercise. His face is not particularly handsome, and he is above average.

However, years of success have developed a confident and unrestrained temperament.

This is a gesture that none of the male stars in the entertainment industry have.

Zhang Yi felt that Director Li was like a young general in history, just like Huo Qubing. He stood there with his sharp edge and was the center of the audience without having to do anything.As an ordinary-looking actor.

Zhang Yi's mood at this time can be summed up in one sentence - It's really unfair. God opened all the windows of Li Shengyao's house.

A little shocked, I felt Li Shengyao's gaze, calm but full of power.

Zhang Yi immediately stepped forward, "Hello, Director Li, I am Zhang Yi. I like your movies very much. I have watched all your movies."

He didn't lie. He didn't like watching idol dramas shot by Lee Sung-yew, but he had watched all of Director Lee's movies.

Li Shengyao smiled, invited Zhang Yi and his agent to sit down, asked his assistant to pour tea, and then explained the filming requirements for "1937" just like he did with Xiao Ming.

Zhang Yi heard this and said without any hesitation, "No problem, I can handle my affairs in a week, and I can join the team this month."

"There's no problem with the schedule, let alone eight months, ten months, or twenty months."

"I have played soldiers. In the past few years, I have mainly played soldiers."

Li Shengyao nodded, "It's no problem. I'll ask my assistant to prepare the contract. You can take a look first. If you have any questions, just tell us. We can discuss it. We will sign the contract when you have no worries at all."

Soon after, Zhang Yi saw the contract.

Li Shengyao did not disturb them and arranged for them to go to the reception room to read the contract.

He saw his salary, 150 million.

This price is actually high, after all, he is not well-known now.

He took a quick look at it and handed the contract to his agent.

The agent looked at it for a while and said in a low voice: "This shooting time will be almost eight months. Isn't it too long? We are a TV series. We can shoot three or four dramas in eight months. It must be more than 150 million."

The agent knew that there were many actors begging for Lee Sung-yew's plays, even if they were free of charge.

However, he mainly relies on Zhang Yi's commission to make money. Zhang Yi earns less, and he makes a lot less, so he can't help complaining.

Zhang Yi touched his face. He glanced at the door secretly, then scanned around to make sure there were no monitors here. Then he whispered: "I think it's okay. This time it's a war movie. The shooting time is longer. Then It’s normal.”

Ever since Zhang Yi entered the film and television industry, she knew that she would never become a popular star.

He cannot be like Hu Ge who can act in idol dramas and attract a large number of fans.

He still has to follow the path of a powerful person. He should not care about short-term interests. If there is a good work, he should take advantage of it.

Needless to say, Lee Sheng-yew's ability is very good. Except for "Rescue 3", which has a slightly worse reputation, his other works have very good reputations.

Zhang Yi thought that the article about the industrialization of film published by Lee Sing-yew a few days ago was very good. He was greatly touched. He felt that since Director Li published such an article, the next film should be very good, otherwise it would be very good. It would be embarrassing to be slapped in the face.

"I know, I just said casually, that's it, we sign a contract with Fenghua."

After a while, Zhang Yi officially signed the two contracts, and he officially joined the "1937" crew.

"Director Li, I will perform well and won't let you down."

Zhang Yi then bent down and saluted to express his attitude.

"Don't be nervous, I'm very optimistic about you."

Zhang Yi paused for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you, I won't be nervous."
