I turned out to be top-notch!

"Brother Ran, you will always be my brother, thank you, thank you so much!"

"Father! When you are no longer busy, I will definitely give you a favor and let Lao Wang and I treat you to dinner, for sure!"

In the lounge of Pioneer Film and Television Company, Tao Chunsheng and Wang Kexi hung up the phone, then looked at each other with smiles on their faces, and the corners of their mouths opened wider.

"Good guy, I'm such a good guy, Lao Zhou is hiding his secrets! It turns out that the big IP "Qing Yu Nian" was taken over by Lao Zhou. I thought that the big boss in the industry was the godfather, but I didn't expect it. It’s Lao Zhou, ah no, it’s Lao Zhou’s father!”

Tao Chunsheng rubbed his hands excitedly: "By the way, I haven't seen our Uncle Zhou for a long time!"

Wang Ke also said with a smile: "Hey, who is not? If I had known that Uncle Zhou was the CEO of Pioneer Film and Television, I would have talked more with Uncle Zhou when I went to pay New Year's greetings."

"I can give one to our uncle!" Tao Chunsheng chuckled.

Yesterday, the two of them were dumbfounded after receiving a call from the crew of "Celebrating More Than Years". The two of them knew how much they weighed. For a big production like "Celebrating More Than Years" that claimed to have invested over 300 million yuan, they had no hope at all, so they also No audition application was submitted.

As a result, the coordinator of the "Celebrating More Than Years" crew directly called the two of them and asked them to come over for an audition when they were free recently.

Wang Ke and Tao Chunsheng were puzzled, but they still suppressed their excitement and came to Pioneer Film and Television Production Company today. They were greeted by people from the front desk and the legal department, and they handed over two contracts without a few words. Let the two sign a contract.

The two of them became suspicious. As a result, the staff member of the legal department opened the contract, pointed to the words "Legal Person Zhou Jixian" and asked, "Do you know Mr. Zhou?"

Tao Chunsheng was still a little confused, but Wang Ke shouted directly at that time: "Holy shit, I, Uncle Zhou, am a member of Pioneer Film and Television Corporation?"

"Not only is he a legal person, he is also the CEO of our company."

The staff member smiled and said: "Both of you, Mr. Zhou has specially greeted you about your contract, so feel free to sign it!"

Even so, Tao Chunsheng and Wang Ke still followed the principle of caution and called Zhou Dingran, and then confirmed the matter. For a while, they both laughed from ear to ear.

Although they don't know exactly what role they will play, Tao Chunsheng and Wang Ke feel so happy about not having to audition and going through the back door.

Moreover, it is also "Celebrating More Than Years", a very popular web IP in the industry!

That feels even better!

You know, in recent times, Tao Chunsheng and Wang Ke have not considered other crews. However, although they have representative works, they are not qualified enough after all, and due to various reasons such as age and appearance, they are not suitable for them. The work can be said to be very narrow.

Those online dramas that invested millions wanted to let them play the role of a male and a second male, but Chen Daozhou had already told him to stay away from such things as not cherishing feathers and lowering one's own status, so neither of them gave it much thought.

But unexpectedly, the big pie "Celebrating More Than Years" fell from the sky and hit the two of them dizzy.

At this time, they looked through the contract again without looking at the other conditions. The two of them only saw the conspicuous remuneration on their contract: half a million yuan!

"Okay, okay! Enough is enough!" Tao Chunsheng smiled broadly. This salary was already very high for him. It was a new career high. Compared with the 70,000 yuan salary when he played "Beiping Youth", it was still The school had to take part of it, and the five hundred thousand yuan was more than seven times higher!

"My true foster father!"

At this time, Wang Ke would also like to call Zhou Dingran his adoptive father. He was only famous for the movie "War Correspondent" before, and he was a supporting actor with few roles. Although his performance was relatively eye-catching, the external quotation for one movie was only 100,000 yuan. Zhou Dingran's salary has now been increased five times. Isn't this his adoptive father?

No father would give himself such a price!

Since arriving at Pioneer Film and Television Company, the two of them were laughing so hard that they almost had crooked smiles. At this time, they did not suspect anything else and directly signed the contract and left their contact information and remittance account number.

After the people from the legal department took out two copies of the contract and stamped them one by one, Wang Kecai asked belatedly, holding the contract in his hand: "What role are we going to play?"

"In the works that Uncle Zhou has invested in, I can play a sweeping monk in the drama!" Tao Chunsheng said with a smile.

The staff member smiled and said, "I don't know the details yet. The director has his own arrangements. However, I am also a fan of "Celebrating More Than Years". I see that the two of them have extraordinary temperaments and I think there are two characters in the play that are probably very suitable for them."

"Which two?" Tao Chunsheng asked.

Wang Ke immediately said, "I promise to read through "Qing Yu Nian" when I get back! Hehe, I am just a brick, I can move it wherever it is needed!"

The staff mused: "Mr. Tao can play the second prince Li Chengze, and Mr. Wang can play Fan Xian's half-brother, Fan Sizhe."

When Wang Ke and Tao Chunsheng heard this, they looked at each other. Although they didn't know how many roles these two characters had and what weight they had in the book, they secretly wrote down these two names and prepared to go back and read through the original novel "Qing Yu Nian". , bring them into these two roles, and practice carefully in private.

"Second prince? Then I am a son of the royal family. I must be handsome and have extraordinary bearing. Well, this role suits me very well." Tao Chunsheng nodded.

Wang Ke secretly despised Tao Chunsheng, but he immediately blurted out: "Since Fan Sizhe and Fan Xian are half-brothers - Brother Ran plays Fan Xian, and Brother Ran is so handsome, then the Fan Sizhe I want to play, how can I Aren’t you also so handsome?”

When I thought of this, I couldn't help but feel happy in my heart.

But the staff poured cold water: "I just said it casually, these two characters have a lot of words to describe in the book, and they should also play a very important role in the play. Whether they can win the role depends on the director. mean."

"understand!"

Wang Ke and Tao Chunsheng came to their senses and said quickly: "We just discussed it a little bit. No matter whether the role is important or not, as long as the crew needs it, we can go all out!"

"Yes, go all out!"

Next, the two wanted to wait for Zhou Jixian, but the staff said that Mr. Zhou went to inspect projects in other places and was away from the company recently, so the two had no choice but to leave with regret. After starring in their debut films "Beiping Youth" and "War Correspondent", the two of them had a surplus in their hands. In addition, Zhou Dingran and Zheng Jianqiang moved out of the dormitory one after another. Therefore, after the New Year, Wang Ke and Tao Chunsheng also rented apartments outside the school. After renting a house, except for attending classes, the two usually live in their respective rented apartments.

Compared with the idleness of Wang Ke and Tao Chunsheng, Zheng Qiang, another brother in the dormitory, is the second actor after Zhou Dingran to really make a name for himself in the film and television industry.

"We Are Soldiers" became a big hit after it was aired on CCTV a year ago. It also directly made the leading actor Zheng Jianqiang popular. The ratings reached a peak of over 7%. For a time, Zheng Jianqiang, a simple and honest young man, became a hot actor in the film and television industry. one.

After "We Are Soldiers" became a hit, "We Are Soldiers" was purchased by South Yunnan Satellite TV for a second broadcast.

After being aired on Southern Yunnan Satellite TV, a border channel with average ratings, even if it was rebroadcast, the highest ratings directly exceeded 2%, directly breaking the ratings record of Southern Yunnan Satellite TV in the past six years.

So striking while the iron was hot, the original team immediately started the production of the series after receiving the new investment. The second work was called "Our Leader", and the male lead was still Zheng Jianqiang.

The reason is very simple. First, Zheng Jianqiang's acting skills are simple and natural, and will not make people feel uncomfortable. Secondly, Zheng Qiangqiang is very easy to use and very cheap. If it were another popular actor like Zheng Qiangqiang, the minimum salary would be thousands. 10,000 starts.

But Zheng Qiangqiang doesn’t need so much. He only needs one-tenth, one million is enough.

Who doesn’t fucking love this?

Therefore, after the New Year, Zheng Jianqiang continued to devote himself to the filming of the new drama "Our Leader".

So even if Zhou Dingran wants Zheng Jianqiang to appear in the drama "Celebrating More Than Years", the key is that Zheng Jianqiang can't move the schedule now. At least in the first half of the year, Zheng Jianqiang will not be filming "Our Leader". No more notifications will be received.

This also led to Zheng Qiangqiang being separated from his dormitory brothers again this time.

However, Zheng Jianqiang is considered a hot newcomer in the film and television industry after all. It is obviously not suitable for him to play a supporting role in "Celebrating More Than Years" under the current situation.

Another week passed like this, when "Celebrating More Than Years" was still recruiting actors and Zhou Dingran himself was involved in the filming of "Young You", the Chinese Music Chart Award Ceremony hosted by CCTV and the Musical Association also officially arrived.

As a singer who has made outstanding contributions to the Chinese moon scene in the past year, Zhou Dingran naturally received an invitation letter from the list, and the same invitation letter was also sent to Wenzhao Gong.

However, in addition to the invitation letter, the list also wants Zhou Dingran to be a guest performer at the awards ceremony.

Zhou Dingran was pressed for time and had heavy tasks during the filming of "Young You", so he declined the task of being a guest performer. He even wanted to decline to attend the ceremony, but he could only think about it. After all, It is a music awards ceremony co-sponsored by official organizations such as CCTV and the Music Association. Since Zhou Dingran received the invitation, it was impossible not to go.

Therefore, one day in mid-March, Zhou Dingran took a day off from the crew and went to the Zhujiang Sports Convention and Exhibition Center to participate in the release of the Best of the Best Awards Ceremony.

In fact, for this award ceremony, the crew of "Young You" has made the biggest concession for Zhou Dingran, because now the filming has entered the middle stage. During this time period, Zhou Dingran and Cha Duo have a crucial scene. , that is, two people use hair clippers to shave their heads together.

This scene needs to be done once, so when he learned that Zhou Dingran was going to attend the award ceremony, in order to avoid the scene being exposed, Wang Sheng postponed the scene for a few days and waited for Zhou Dingran to come back to film after attending the award ceremony.

But in fact, this scene still faces a problem, that is, how to convince Cha Duo to push Qi Er's hair into a buzz cut.

Wang Sheng took this head-shaving scene very seriously. Although before the filming started and when she got the script, Cha Duo said that she could overcome it, when it reached the critical point, everyone on the crew could see that Cha Duo was not in a good mood. , at this time not only director Wang Sheng left, but Zhou Dingran also left in person to chat with Cha Duo.

At the end, Zhou Dingran said jokingly, "Do you want everyone on the crew to be bald and accompany you?"

Cha Duo shook his head and refused, but within an hour after he refused, he saw all the crew members with shaved heads standing in front of her. This moment made Cha Duo confused and moved, and she ended up crying. Let the barber shave your hair into a buzz cut.

Because Zhou Dingran had to attend the award ceremony, he temporarily left his hair on. After Cha Duo shaved his hair into a buzz cut, he quickly finished filming the remaining scenes. Everything progressed smoothly, and only Zhou Dingran was left in the end.

Zhou Dingran has short hair, but the hair on his forehead can hang down to his eyes, and the hair on the back can even be tied up a little. He looks like a gangster, but in fact he plays a gangster. The character's look was specifically requested by the director. Zhou Dingran has been growing his hair since he planned to join the cast.

Now there is only one day left. After attending the ranking ceremony, Zhou Dingran will join the group and shave his hair into a buzz cut.

When the plane arrived in Zhujiang City, the temperature of more than 20 degrees made Zhou Dingran, a traveler who had shuttled back and forth between the capital and the mountain city, feel warm. The mountain city was a little better, with a little over 10 degrees above zero, but it was still bitingly cold in Peiping in March. , the temperature difference between day and night is huge, and you will catch a cold if you are not careful.

But when we arrived in Pearl River, the weather was above 20 degrees every day. Zhou Dingran even felt that he could take off his cotton clothes and put on a T-shirt to attend the award ceremony.

"Mr. Zhou!"

After getting off the high-speed rail station, because the itinerary was kept confidential, Zhou Dingran and others boarded a nanny car sent by CCTV in the underground station and drove along the coast. The scenery was beautiful. Zhou Dingran couldn't help but ask: "Where can I rent a TV station?" Have fun with a sports car?”

Jiang Xiaohong, who was accompanying him, said in surprise: "Brother Ran, do you want to drive?"

Before Zhou Dingran could answer, the driver couldn't help but laugh and said: "Mr. Zhou, do you still need to rent a car? Just say hello, aren't there many car companies rushing to give you sports cars?"

Zhou Dingran smiled and said, "Just drive for a while, don't delay tonight's award ceremony. This is my first time coming to the Pearl River. I think the sea view here is really good, and the weather is sunny and windy. It's not exposed to the sun. It's much warmer than in the north." , I just want to drive around in a convertible.”

"You're so elegant!" The driver gave a thumbs up, "How about I ask Taili?"

Zhou Dingran shook his head and said: "That's not necessary, I just did it on a whim."

Jiang Xiaohong smiled and said: "With your status, you can drive a sports car, but driving a convertible is a bit too conspicuous and will cause traffic jams. In this case, many artists under Zhenshijia have business in Zhuhai. Let me call you and ask."

After saying that, Jiang Xiaohong picked up her phone, rummaged for a while, and then dialed a number.

Half an hour later, a brand new dark green Koenigsegg sports car worth over 20 million appeared in front of Zhou Dingran. (End of chapter)
