I'm just telling the artist what's wrong!

Chapter 329 The Stage Play "Charlotte's Annoyance"?
Hearing Ma Li's words, Zhou Di stared at Ma Li for a moment, then burst out laughing.

"Don't be funny, I haven't even acted in a stage play, so your director trusts me so much?"

"It's not that our director believes in you, but that we all believe in you. You played comedy roles in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" and "Lost in Thailand". You have a talent for comedy that many people don't have. Ours It's originally a comedy-based stage play, if you can play the role of Charlotte, it will definitely be brilliant."

Ma Li shook her head and said solemnly.

Seeing Ma Li's non-faking tone, Zhou Di restrained his smile.

"Is what you said true or false?"

"Of course it's true. Just now our director asked me to go out and asked me to talk to you about this matter. Zhou Di, would you like to think about it?"

Ma Li nodded vigorously, as if she was afraid that Zhou Di would underestimate this matter.

Zhou Di thought for a while, then raised his head and stared at Ma Li's eyes motionless, as if he was in a daze or looking directly at Ma Li's eyes.

Ma Li was embarrassed by Zhou Di's look, touched her face, and couldn't help but say.

"Zhou Di, why are you staring at me? Is there a flower on my face?"

"Ma Li, logically speaking, if you really want to invite me to join, you can directly match the schedule with my agent, but you didn't do this, and you still expressed your thoughts in front of me, is there something wrong with that?" Is it difficult to say it?"

Zhou Di softened his tone.

If Ma Li hadn't acted too strangely, he wouldn't have thought of these things.

Ma Li froze for a moment, gave Zhou Di a meaningful look, and then gave a wry smile.

"Others say that comedians are not very smart because they play ugly for fun, but your smart appearance can just slap them in the face, Zhou Di, you are right, we really have something to hide."

"Actually, according to the current fund reserves of our Happy Twist, it is more than enough to prepare for the national tour of "Charlotte Annoyance", because this kind of stage play actually doesn't cost much, at least it is cheaper than TV dramas."

"But the premise of our sufficient funds is not to invite any popular artists, because if we invite one, we will be stretched, even if it is a second or third tier."

"As for Zhou Di, although I don't know how much your salary is, it will definitely not be less than 500 million, but we can't even give half of 500."

"So we can only be willing but powerless, want to invite you but have no money."

Ma Li stated a reality very calmly.

The reason why stage plays and dramas are small is that actors are often not as well-known as actors in film and television dramas, and their pay is not high.

And actors in film and television dramas just use the stage of the drama to gild it, and they don't really want to stay, and it doesn't cost much like this.

As long as a certain drama has taken a fancy to a certain film and television actor, and this kind of initiative invites, then the remuneration will be left to the other party.

After hearing what Ma Li said, Zhou Di couldn't help but laugh.

"So your difficulty is that you think my salary is too high to hire me?"

"correct."

"Actually, I don't think you need to be so pessimistic at all. You can change your thinking."

"Don't you take money?"

Ma Li's eyes lit up and she looked at Zhou Di suddenly, her eyes full of anticipation.

Zhou Di shook his head.

"Your way of thinking is wrong at first glance."

"."

Ma Li looked at Zhou Di angrily, and the hope that had just risen in her heart was extinguished in an instant.

Zhou Di said with a smile.

"When I was attending your creative meeting, I overheard that you plan to adapt the stage play into a movie?"

Mary nodded.

This was one of the company's plans at the beginning of its establishment. After all, novels and comics can be turned into movies and TV. With so many original IPs in hand, Happy Twist must also want to take the path of movies and TV to make more money.

"You can wait until the ip becomes a film and television, and use the box office share to convert my salary."

Zhou Di said slowly.

Mary was taken aback.

"The box office share is converted into remuneration?"

"Yes, I did this when I was in "Lost in Thailand". At that time, Director Xu had no money, so he used the box office dividends to pay me."

Zhou Di said honestly.

In fact, he could play the stage play "Charlotte Annoyance" at a lower salary, but he didn't have to do so.

Friendship is friendship, and transactions are transactions.

He can help Kaixin Trouble, and even act at a friendly price, but he can't do free labor.

Because according to his current salary, even if it is reduced by half, Happy Twist still cannot afford the money.

Instead of letting them squeeze out 5/4 of the funds to provide themselves with film remuneration, it is better to turn this part into future box office share.

Just like the previous "Thailand Lost".

If the movie adapted in the future sells well at the box office, then Zhou Di can also get a share of the pie. If the box office doesn't work, it doesn't matter, Zhou Di will treat it as a failure of the investment.

In general, it is another way to pay Zhou Di's salary, and at the same time it will not make him feel embarrassed.

Zhou Di didn't want others to go whoring for nothing, which would make him feel better.

Ma Li is naturally able to understand the key to this.

It's just that I haven't used such a method before, and I can't turn my head for a while.

But after she thought it through, she nodded.

"This idea is very good, and I personally think it's good, but Zhou Di, our stage play of "Charlotte Annoyance" has not yet toured, so let's talk about the film adaptation now, I'm afraid you don't know how many years it will take .”

"Hahahaha, this is originally a way to make myself feel a little bit better, so it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer."

Zhou Di smiled and said a word.

Ma Li was stunned for a moment and then smiled. She knew that Zhou Di was using another method to support Happy Twist.

I couldn't help but feel a little more moved by Zhou Di.

Zhou Di patted Ma Li on the shoulder.

"Okay, you can discuss it with your leaders. If you agree, then we can also talk about "Charlotte Annoyance", but now let's finish the rehearsal of "Today's Happiness 2" .”

"Hahahahaha listen to you."

Ma Li laughed, and Zhou Di's footsteps were frightened by her thick voice.

In fact, Zhou Di has always had this idea in his heart for acting in a stage play.

Many actors will go to the stage of the drama to be gilded, and Zhou Di is no exception.

In his previous life, Zhou Di also struggled on the stage of drama for a period of time.

But the experience during this period did not make Zhou Di like this art form.

In Zhou Di's opinion, it should be too serious and old-fashioned.

The stage play of Happy Twist is different. They transferred a comedy movie to the stage in the form of a drama.

This is something that Zhou Di has never experienced before. Having participated in their script creation meeting, Zhou Di has always been interested in scripts.

It's okay if Ma Li doesn't say anything, since Zhou Di intends to invite her, then Zhou Di will follow suit.
