China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 30 Audition and signing

Lin Xuan flicked his wrist, held a sword flower, and began to perform swordsmanship.

Stab, split, tease, hang, cloud, point, collapse, cut.

Although his swordsmanship is very basic, all eight basic movements of swordsmanship are included.

An expert can tell at a glance what his background is.

In addition, the swordsmanship teacher also designed a set of flashing and leaping routines for him. Combined with the sound of the wooden sword swishing through the air, he really feels like a master of martial arts.

After practicing a few moves, Yuan Heping's eyes lit up: "He's handsome."

Different from the deceptive scene just now, he is really interested in Lin Xuan now.

Lin Xuan has outstanding looks and a great figure. He looks better than others when performing the same martial arts moves.

Not only Yuan Heping, but the screenwriter, producer, and executive director sitting on both sides of him also nodded with satisfaction.

Three minutes later, Lin Xuan finished his performance, saluted several people, and then put the sword back on the shelf.

Snapped!Snapped!Snapped!
Yuan Heping clapped excitedly, and several people nearby also applauded together.

"Not bad, very good." Yuan Heping didn't say what was good about it, but looking at the expression on his face, it was obvious that he was satisfied with Lin Xuan in all aspects.

When the applause died down, Yuan Heping turned to look at Wang Jinhua, feeling a little regretful.

It's a pity that I didn't discover this guy earlier. He's such a good prospect.

According to the audition requirements, Lin Xuan had to act in a literary drama next, but Yuan Heping was too lazy to watch and skipped it.

Lin Xuan's profile lists his performance experience.

Seeing that he had appeared in a CCTV drama not long ago, Yuan Heping was already familiar with his acting skills. After all, Jing Wuming didn't have a few lines in the drama, so why waste time.

Yuan Heping turned to look at the main creators of the crew and asked them what they thought of Lin Xuan.

Several people did not hesitate and all nodded in support.

When Wang Jinhua saw this, her face blossomed with a smile.

She was originally worried that Lin Xuan's kung fu was not good enough.

I thought that if the director didn't like it, let Lin Xuan put on ancient costume and try again.

But before she could use this killer weapon, Lin Xuan's role had already been decided. How could she not be excited?

Lin Xuan, what a treasure!
After winning the first battle, Lin Xuan bowed slightly to thank him and then left the room.

Arriving at the lobby on the first floor, three assistants gathered around him.

"Brother Xuan, is that so?"

"It's done!"

Lin Xuan gave them an OK gesture.

The three of them immediately beamed with joy and congratulated excitedly.

After waiting for 10 minutes, Ren Quan also came down.

Looking at the expression on his face, Lin Xuan knew that both brothers had passed the test.

"Where's Sister Hua?" Lin Xuan asked.

"I'm going to discuss the contract with the crew."

Ren Quan was the last to leave and saw a lot of scenes. He pulled Lin Xuan and whispered: "Your performance just now was great. From the look of Sister Hua, it is impossible not to cause some blood to the crew."

It is the agent's responsibility to negotiate with the crew about remuneration, role roles, and treatment.

The entertainment industry is like a battlefield. If you want to survive here, you have to maintain your wolf nature.

The current situation in the film and television industry is that there are more wolves and less meat.

If you take one more bite, others will take one less bite. In order not to starve to death, you have to grab everything.

The negotiation took a long time, and these people sat in the hotel lobby all the time, their buttocks were numb.

Lin Xuan frowned and couldn't help but feel worried.

Although he also wanted to increase his salary, it would not be worth it if he offended the crew because of such things.

It may be as simple as wearing small shoes for you, or as serious as not letting you go.

But his worries were unnecessary. Soon Ren Quan received a call from Wang Jinhua, asking him to go to the finance office on the seventh floor to sign a contract.

Although they are brothers in the same discipline, it is easy to fall out when it comes to their own interests.

The two of them have different positions, different roles, and the prices must be different. They know this well.In order to prevent intensification of conflicts, we must talk separately at this time, and even after the contract is signed, we will not inquire about each other.

After waiting for another 10 minutes, Lin Xuan received a text message to sign the contract.

Arriving at the seventh floor and finding the finance room, Lin Xuan gently opened the door.

Like the audition, the room was emptied out and replaced with a few office chairs.

Wang Jinhua waved to him and introduced him: "Lin Xuan, this is Wu Cheng, the producer of the crew."

"Hello, Producer Wu." Lin Xuan greeted politely.

"Hello, you are only 19 years old this year. You are really young. You have a bright future."

"Thank you."

"Stop talking about it, let's take a look at the contract. Your sister Hua is really awesome. She negotiated a very good contract for you."

Lin Xuan glanced at her, then sat on a chair to check the contract.

The first thing to look at is definitely the pay.

Lin Xuan took a closer look, and the numbers on it really shocked him.

Twenty thousand!

Before entering this door, Lin Xuan also guessed how much his salary would be.

Considering that he doesn't have many roles and is a newcomer, if the price of "Daming Palace Ci" is doubled, it would be good if the crew can give him 6000.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jinhua was so good that she directly negotiated a salary of [-] yuan for him.

When Producer Wu saw Lin Xuan's expression, he couldn't help complaining: "According to industry rules, a newcomer's salary has never exceeded [-] yuan, but now you have doubled it."

Wang Jinhua smiled and explained: "Newcomers also have to distinguish themselves. Lin Xuan's appearance, acting skills, and kung fu are all faultless. His overall quality is top-notch among veteran actors, not to mention newcomers. .”

Producer Wu smiled and did not agree.

If it weren't for the fact that several of the main creators of the crew, especially Yuan Heping, liked him, they would be crazy to pay him such a high price.

A new person is a new person, no matter how good he is, the price will be the same.

But Producer Wu didn't expect that Wang Jinhua had noticed Yuan Heping's attitude and dared to ask for this price.

After reading the credits, read on.

Wang Jinhua signed a one-month schedule with the crew.

Lin Xuan actually doesn't have many scenes, and it would take less than half a month to shoot intensively. However, he is a newcomer and needs to meet the lead actor's schedule, so he signed the contract for one month conservatively.

In terms of meals, the crew gave Lin Xuan a daily meal quota of 100 yuan. For accommodation, it was a single double bed room. Baoqiang and Ren Quan's assistant shared a standard room.

In addition, many fragmentary benefits are also specified in the contract.

For example, if Lin Xuan wants to use a car, the crew must provide a driver and car.

The crew wants to buy insurance for Lin Xuan.

If he gets sick, he must go to a tertiary hospital in a big city and so on.

Wang Jinhua has been in this business for seven or eight years. All details have been carefully considered and all are included in the contract.

After reading it, Lin Xuan felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he signed his name at the signature place.

After signing the contract, Lin Xuan said goodbye to the producer and followed the crew to check in.

The large bed room provided by the crew is more than 40 square meters, which is more than enough for Lin Xuan to live alone.

Of course, this treatment cannot be compared with that of the leading actors. The leading actors all live in executive suites with an area of ​​more than [-] square meters.

Lin Xuan put down his luggage, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and then lay on the bed to rest.

I got up early today, flying and driving, which was quite tiring.

In the evening, Lin Xuan received a call from Wang Jinhua.

Let him prepare in advance and invite the crew to dinner later.

The director of this drama is Yuan Heping, and Wang Jinhua will definitely not miss the opportunity to build a relationship with him.

These entertainments are obligations for actors, and Lin Xuan has no objection to this.

He opened his suitcase and selected suitable clothes for the banquet.
