This director needs to apologize

Chapter 3 Ancient Costume Xiaosheng Demon City E God
Now Gu Yuehe lives in seclusion, but for Chen Yiming, it is not difficult to make an appointment with him.

On Sunday night, Chen Yiming met Gu Yuehe, who had recently recovered from his injury, in the tea room box he had made an appointment with.

Regardless of his acting skills, just look at his appearance. He has a movie face that is rare among yellow people.

The eye sockets are deep, the bridge of the nose is high, and the jaw is sharp. Once applied, the most beautiful shadow appears.

For other Chinese actors who need a lot of acting skills, he only needs seven points. The audience can complete the remaining three points by looking at this face and imagining it.

Gu Shuai had just recovered from his injury, so he naturally didn't wear any makeup at home.

The energetic youthful look in the past is gone now. A vertical scar on the right eyebrow peak is clearly visible, adding a bit of sharpness to this handsome and melancholy face.

Coupled with the sad stubble on the lips, it made the whole person even more shabby and slumped.

"Hahaha!"

Chen Yiming suddenly couldn't help but slap his legs and laugh.

The corners of Gu Yuehe's already droopy mouth were drooping even further. He sat cross-legged and huddled into a ball, with his back hunched over.

The reason why Chen Yiming was so wild and unrestrained was not afraid of Gu Yuehe's anger was because the two of them had known each other for a long time.

Tang Song Film and Television, as a local representative company in the TV industry in Shanghai, will naturally not let go of the official success.

In the past three years, Tang and Song Film and Television produced one drama a year, all under the guise of cultural innovation. Bojue provided one-stop services such as declaration, tax refund, settlement, and loan disbursement.

In these three dramas, Gu Yuehe plays the main role, so he will naturally become familiar with it if he moves around a lot.

Guyuehe was named one of the top ten outstanding young people in the cultural field of Shanghai last year, and he also has the contribution of Bo Jue.

"Lao Gu, why are you like this? Are you really planning to quit the industry and get married and become a dad?"

The guy on the other side raised his face in confusion, "You didn't get into a car accident or have surgery, but your temperament has changed drastically. Give me back that zombie-faced anonymous person."

The last time the two met was four months ago, when Chen Yiming and Ma Yunteng went to visit a doctor. At that time, Guyuehe was wrapped like a mummy, with only his eyeballs moving all over his body.

After that, Gu Yuehe closed the door and thanked guests, using time to heal his injured soul. After hearing this, Chen and Ma understood what he meant and didn't bother him anymore.

"It's not bad. Being able to joke means that you've almost recovered. What are your plans next? You're not really going to quit, right?"

Guyuehe smiled bitterly and shook his head, "How is that possible? I still have a three-year contract with Tang and Song."

Chen Yiming asked with a half-smile, "Then we will continue to film "Sword of Heaven III"? Liu Xiaoyao, the hero with broken eyebrows?"

Guyuehe sighed and lowered his head in silence.

Chen Yiming put his hands back, looked up to the sky and murmured, "I'm just using you to make you popular. No matter how humane a capitalist is, he is still a capitalist."

"Let's not talk about these troubles. Let's order food first. Can you have something to drink?"

Guyuehe cheered up and started eating and drinking, and soon the happy atmosphere returned to the private room.

……

After eating and drinking, the two of them ate melon seeds and drank tea, and then Chen Yiming got down to business.

"There are no serious dramas in the Tang and Song Dynasties, so Lao Cai probably won't refuse to take on a foreign drama to test the market's response. I just have a script here for you, and it will save her the trouble of being a clown who can't sheath her sword and get off the stage."

Gu Yuehe understood what Chen Yiming meant. He refused to have plastic surgery. He couldn't afford to change his role in "Sword of Heaven: Three" sooner or later. If it was because Gu Yuehe himself took on external roles, it would be more natural for him to change roles in Tang and Song Dynasties without being criticized.

In the entertainment industry, if possible, who doesn't want a good reputation?

Thinking of this, he became a little interested and asked, "What book? A web series?"

As an old friend of Chen and Ma, he had already known about Bojue's idea of ​​personally tossing around in film and television, and he took it for granted that Chen Yiming wanted to test the waters by launching an online drama.

The Internet video website in this time and space has just begun to show signs of the oligarchic era, and the overall pattern has not yet been settled.

Generally speaking, there is a three-legged trend of one goose, one pear, and one sweet potato. There happens to be one in Imperial City, Magic City, and Yangcheng. In addition to the three, there are five or six small websites struggling to support themselves. The industry concentration rate has just exceeded 70%. critical point.

The top three giants have already passed the entrepreneurial period of accumulating users through piracy. At the beginning of this year, they all made a U-turn with a tacit understanding. While calling for copyright protection to jointly crack down on pirated film sources, they also spent a lot of money to invest in exclusive online short dramas.

The purpose is very simple, put aside the dispute and jointly develop, first go down on 4567, and carve up the remaining 30% of the market share.

The production team at the middle and lower levels in the industry has received a wave of major benefits.

After all, the production requirements for online dramas are not high, and it is easy to pay for them. In the first half of the year, dozens of related projects were approved in the Magic City alone.Therefore, as soon as Gu Yuehe heard about the book, he immediately started thinking about the web series.

Chen Yiming chuckled, "How can a mere online drama match your ancient handsomeness, and it doesn't match the quality of our Bojue Media."

He leaned down and stuck his head into the middle of the table, put away his smile and whispered in a serious voice, "Gu Yuehe's film debut, what do you think of this title?"

……

If it was a web drama to be filmed for fun, Gu Yuehe would simply accept the script and treat it as a favor for a friend.

After all, web dramas are not very demanding, and he thinks his acting skills are enough to hold him.

But if it was an official theater movie, Gu Yuehe would never dare to agree rashly.

As an actor, who doesn’t want to act in movies?

But he knows very well how high the requirements of the big screen are for actors, so he has been reluctant to make up his mind to take that step, for fear of stalling at the beginning and directly ending his film career.

The literary film he accepted before the car accident was directed by Wang Jiawei, the magic circle director who is very good at training actors, and the heroine was Gao Leilei, who is known as the queen of literary films.

It’s hard to say whether it will win an award, but its reputation will definitely be the same.

This shows how cautious Guyuehe is about his first movie.

In other words, he was a friend of his, and he was injured in a car accident. Otherwise, he would never accept a casting project like Chen Yiming's.

Looking through the project plan, Gu Yuehe looked more and more bitter.

Romance film, novice director, amateur heroine, and a foreign singer.

The BUFF for bad movies is really stacked up.

He looked up with a wry smile, "Tie Zhu, are you too confident in me? I may not be able to lead this project!"

Chen Yiming heard Gu Yuehe's seeming humility. This guy didn't mean that he couldn't lead it. He clearly meant that the project was unreliable.

"Don't tell me, if you were still as handsome as Gu, instead of the Po Xianggu you are now, I wouldn't dare to ask you to be the male lead. You would just ruin the show without ruining Lily's beauty."

Chen Yiming pressed on the magic camera he had at hand, took a photo of Guyue River, and then put it in front of him.

"Look, he is so handsome despite being so bitter and so angry. His face is full of life and stories. The girl Huaichun loves this one. When the time comes, you don't have to act, just stick there and it will be fine."

Guyuehe looked at the photos and couldn't laugh or cry, but he was also a little more curious about the script.

He calmed down and began to read the script. This time he completely immersed himself in it. The more he read, the more he felt that he had been careless and that this script was somewhat interesting.

A rebellious noble princess who ran away from home, and a low-level reporter with ulterior motives travel together in the magic city under a bloody arrangement.

The innocent princess's heart stirs, the tired middle-aged man regains his original intention, and the hazy love brings the two people closer.

After a day trip, at midnight, the runaway princess will finally return home, and the reluctant middle-aged girl will finally let go.

In one day, from stranger to attraction to breakup, it is unreal and incomplete, but unforgettable.

In jargon, it just tastes right.

Looking up again, Gu Yuehe's eyes were so bright that they were burning.

"I like this script, I'm determined to play it!"

Chen Yiming smiled mischievously and asked, "Will you get zero pay if you bring money into the group?"

Before Gu Yuehe could answer, he waved his hand again, "Okay, okay, I won't make it difficult for you in the company."

Chen Yiming spread his fingers to calculate the salary, "The salary for that leaked literary film of yours was 150 million. The facial injury is doubtful and the acting skills are questionable. I will remove 50. This is an official composition. I will remove another 50, so this film requires you." With a one-month schedule and a salary of 50, I believe even Lao Cai can’t find fault with it.”

Guyuehe nodded repeatedly.

After taking care of the male protagonist, Chen Yiming stood up and prepared to retreat, saying before leaving.

"Next Monday I will ask Xiaomei to go to Tang and Song Dynasties to complete the contract. The film will start shooting in early August. You can find your status at home during this time."

"Remember one thing, what I want is a yuppie like Lao Kele from the Demon City. He can still stand up even when he is down and out. He is not the old man from the compound in the Imperial City, nor is he the intellectual temperament of Uncle Ming. You can play this type of character. I haven’t acted before, so I’ll ask my aunt to find a bankrupt old man for you to watch.”
