The Wind of China Entertainment 2005

Chapter 197 Coming to the Door (Supplement)

At the end of August, Lu Yuan took Wu Lang and flew south to Hengdian to participate in the latent start-up ceremony.

The crew settled in a hotel on Guangzhou Street. It was probably because funds were really tight and the location was quite remote.

The entire three floors were occupied by the crew and crew. Even so, there were still many people living alone outside.

Producer Zhang Jing has been waiting in front of the hotel for a long time. She is the only investor lurking in this film.

He is in his thirties, wearing a sophisticated white shirt on his upper body. He is short, has fair skin, a round face, and long hair. He has a very kind smile, but his voice is a bit hoarse.

The two met briefly when they signed the contract in Jingcheng. Now that they met again, she was still as polite as last time. She waited at the door early without any hint of the producer's airs.

As soon as Lu Yuan got out of the car, she eagerly greeted him, held his hand, and greeted him: "Teacher Lu, I finally looked forward to having you here."

Lu Yuan was a little uncomfortable with being too enthusiastic for a while, but he could understand in his heart. After all, the 2000 million investment was directed at him to get his money back.

He smiled and said, "Sister Zhang is so polite and even came out to greet me."

As she spoke, she entered the hotel and looked at the crowded and crude accommodation environment. Zhang Jing tentatively said, "I'm in a hurry. How about spending one night first and then arrange a better hotel for you tomorrow?"

Lu Yuan didn't like to have a unique style on the set. He waved his hand and said, "No need to bother, it's good to live with everyone. It will be much easier to discuss the script and discuss the script after the filming starts."

Zhang Jing looked at him in surprise, feeling even more satisfied with her male lead. His attitude towards doing things was very much like that of the older generation.

After a brief chat, without further interruption, she turned around and left with the assistant director and others.

Lu Yuan rested in the room for a while, replied to Liu Shishi a few messages, and reported to the old woman that he was safe.

Just when he was about to go to Jiang Wei to talk about the relationship between Yu Zecheng and Zuo Lan, there was a knock on the door outside the house.

She is a rather classical-looking woman, with a long face, a slender nose, single eyelids, not very big eyes, shallow dimples at the corners of her mouth, and medium-length hair.

She made a knocking sound with her left hand and carried a bag in the other hand. She introduced herself with a smile: "Hello, Teacher Lu, I am Qin Hailu."

"Sister Hailu, don't shout like that. You can call me anything you want, just don't call me teacher." Lu Yuan quickly turned sideways to welcome her in. After all, they are all movie queens.

Qin Hailu changed her shoes and put the bag in her hand on the table: "I brought some local products from my hometown, wild ginseng, don't dislike it."

Lu Yuan poured her a glass of water and said happily: "Sister, you are too polite."

Qin Hailu took the cup and took a sip: "I have to thank you. Without your recommendation to the director, I would never have had the chance to get the role of Cuiping."

"In the final analysis, your business ability is strong."

He gave a thumbs up and asked, "When did you arrive?"

"Yesterday afternoon, I didn't stay at the hotel arranged by the crew. My boyfriend booked a separate room in the hotel."

Lu Yuan nodded. The so-called boyfriend should be the boss of her agency. Everyone in the circle knew about this.

Qin Hailu sat down on the sofa and asked, "Actually, I'm quite curious as to why you accepted this drama."

She changed to a comfortable sitting position and continued: "With the current market situation, 2000 million is not a big investment. I guess you are not short of film appointments. Have you ever thought about what if the ratings of this drama are dismal?"

Lu Yuan laughed: "The scale of investment does not prove anything. Everyone knows that a good story is fundamental. I only have one premise for choosing scripts and characters, and that is that I am interested. As long as I am interested, I am willing to play both positive and negative characters."

This statement may be true or false, but as an actor, especially after you have a certain reputation, you do have to choose between money and conscience many times.The entertainment stock market has been bullish in the past two years, and a large number of speculators with keen sense of smell have collected their books and started to delve into the circle.

At present, there are already a lot of crews gathering in Hengdian, and some popular shooting scenes need to be booked in advance. When the schedule is tight, there may even be conflicts over scenes.

Logically speaking, this is a good thing for actors. After all, there are more opportunities to choose from.

But as the quantity increases, the quality becomes uneven.

One has an average script but a very high salary, while the other has a low salary and low investment, but a good script.

How should an actor choose in this situation? Should he choose money or conscience?
Although the money is good, a movie can earn 600 to [-] million yuan, but it is not good for the career itself.

Lu Yuan believes that actors must respect their profession.

If you don't take it seriously, just read the words, take the money, and quickly take a picture, you will have no interest. Without awe, no industry will last long.

If you treat the audience as a fool, the audience will also treat the actors as fools. If you don't trust each other and look down on each other, it will be over.

An actor is nothing if he leaves the audience.

There was appreciation in Qin Hailu's eyes. She came to express her gratitude and to find out more about Lu. After all, Lu's time to become famous was too short.

She is equally picky about scripts and roles. She adheres to the concept that the role must first move herself, and then she has the confidence to move the audience through her performance. In this regard, the two coincide.

So after receiving Jiang Wei's invitation and doing some research on the script, she decided to take a pay cut to star in the film even if the crew couldn't afford it. The money she received in this drama was far lower than the market price.

Qin Hailu looked at Lu Yuan and sighed, no wonder he was able to succeed in his twenties.

After chatting for a few words, she couldn't sit still and urged: "Here's the script, take it out. There are some things about the scene where Cuiping and Yu Zecheng meet for the first time that I need to discuss with you."

"it is good."

At around ten o'clock in the morning, the crew held a grand opening ceremony at the Dazhi Zen Temple Film and Television Base.

At the end of the ceremony, many media outlets rushed to ask questions. In front of reporters, Zhang Jing boasted.

"I am a businessman, and doing dramas is business. If I don't do well, my business will be lost, and my pride as a businessman will be gone.

So what we want to do is to make a classic, not a fast-food drama, or follow the trend. Qingyu Media only pursues high-quality products. Our investment in this drama is as high as 4000 million, and we will continue to increase it depending on the situation. "

"Since Don't Talk to Strangers, we have been a partnership with director Jiang Wei. Director Jiang has always made people very confident, and he has carefully polished the hidden script for several years."

"The two leading actors are both capable and well-known. I am quite optimistic about the ratings of this drama."

Lu Yuan was stunned as she listened. No wonder she could start a company. Look at her mouth. She said 2000 million into 4000 million, and ten months turned into several years in her mouth.

Simply put, it takes ten years to sharpen a sword.

Although I muttered secretly in my heart, I was unambiguous when facing reporters. I was full of praises, saying that the script is good, the director is good, the production team is good, and everything you ask is good.

As the male lead, you can't cause trouble at critical moments.
