China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 6 The most beautiful Chang'e

Li Yu's biography was not in vain, Ma Wenlong understood it well.

Ma Wenlong is not a handsome guy, but if he can get into Beijing Film Academy, he must be passable in terms of appearance.

Although he can't keep up with Li Yu in terms of flattery, he can still be regarded as handsome after tidying up.

Since Li Yu opened the back door, Ma Wenlong must have a better understanding of the character Liu Minhao than the senior who auditioned today.

Before coming to the audition, he rented a designer suit and went to the barber shop outside the school to get a haircut.

The handsome, gentle and cheerful guy already has a bit of Liu Minhao's feel to him.

"Your look was probably deliberately designed to fit the character of Liu Minhao, right?"

Teacher Yang thought that this usually inconspicuous student was quite well prepared.

It was an audition, and he decided on his makeup in one step.

"Yes, Teacher Yang, what I look like now is what Liu Minhao looks like in my mind."

When Ma Wenlong replied, he had a faint smile on his face, spoke calmly and calmly.

Li Yu feels that the characters of Ma Wenlong and Liu Minhao are already 60-70% consistent.

If you go back and train him, give him a few small lessons, he should be able to play this role well.

"Li Yu, I think it's okay."

Ma Yuanliang thinks it will work.

"Then the role of Liu Minhao is given to you, so work hard."

Li Yu finalized it.

"Thank you, Director Li, and thank you two teachers."

Ma Wenlong expressed his heartfelt thanks, especially to Li Yu.

Without the backdoor opened by Li Yu, he would most likely be outclassed by others.

Li Yu went through a lot of choices for the role of the second female lead, Jiang Huimei, and finally gave it to Jiang Yiyan.

Jiang Yiyan won the "Grand Prize" as an architectural designer in the future, and Jiang Huimei happened to be a fashion designer.

They are both designers, so they are professionally matched.

Now the five main characters, the male lead, the second female lead, the second male lead, the third female lead and the third female lead, have been basically finalized.

The remaining heroine, Han Xinxin, put Li Yu in a difficult position. He had to pick and choose, but couldn't find a favorite candidate.

Finally, Teacher Yang introduced someone to Li Yu: "I can recommend a good candidate to you.

Among those rated 96 is Yan Danchen. She acted in several movies in her early years and won several awards.

She has acting skills, looks good, and the salary is not expensive. "

Of course Yan Danchen and Li Yu are familiar with her. Sister Chang'e in the Lotus Lantern in 05 was called the most beautiful Chang'e by netizens.

He can even manage the death hairstyle with half a circle in front of his forehead, and his appearance is very good.

He is a movie star and has nothing to say about his acting skills.

Just because you are beautiful and have good acting skills doesn't mean you will be popular.

Yan Danchen has been basically quiet in the past two years, except for playing the role of Concubine Yang in "The Love of the Tang Dynasty". He should be regarded as a somewhat famous third-tier actor.

Teacher Yang personally invited her to play the female lead, so she should be a sure shot.

"Teacher Yang, it would be great if we could invite Senior Sister Yan here."

Li Yu replied.

"Okay, it's settled then. Leave me a phone number and I'll tell you the result later."

Teacher Yang had a very good impression of Yan Danchen and thought to himself, how could a very good actor not have any filming?
  It's just right for her to play Han Xinxin.

……

In the next half month, Li Yu had an international phone call with his father who was far away in Southeast Asia.

"Dad, I want to be a director. I wrote a TV script, and the teachers at school are very optimistic about it. I plan to form my own bureau to film..."

Li Yu shared the good news with his father.

Father Li on the other end of the phone listened quietly for a few minutes and said a few good words: "Okay, okay, my second son is going to be promising.

How much did it cost you to make this TV series? I'll ask your mother to give you a shot. "No, no, no, I've saved a lot of pocket money, and I still have three or two million on hand."

For this TV series, I used seniors from the school, and the pay was very cheap.

I should be able to make a TV series. If it's not enough, I'll ask you for more.

I also rented a floor in Beijing and opened a company called Hualiu Film Production Co., Ltd...."

Li Yu explained his plan to his old father in detail.

He said so much because he actually wanted to reassure his old father and make him believe that he was serious and that he was not fooling around.

"Okay, okay. Second son, sending you to the capital to study is indeed the right choice.

You have become much more stable than before. In the past, you would do things as soon as your head was hot, but you would not have such detailed planning.

You are sensible. As a father, I am very pleased. "

The old father lamented that his son had changed, and then asked.

"You just said you rented a one-story house in Beijing? How high is that building? How much is the house price per square meter in Beijing?"

"It's about 4,000 yuan for the four inner city districts. The building I rent is an old building built in the 1980s, with a total of five floors."

Li Yu didn't understand why his old father asked these questions, but he still answered truthfully.

"Buy that building directly, and I'll ask the bank to give you the money later.

I don’t understand your TV series, so I can’t say anything.

In my line of work, if you don’t know how to give orders randomly, you will lose your life.

So just come and see, we can afford to lose millions.

Money in the bank is just a pile of paper and will depreciate every year. It is better to buy a building and get some real assets. "

The old father said boldly.

There were some things that the old father did not tell Li Yu. The mine was dug deeper and deeper, and it was no longer as profitable as before.

It is estimated that in a few years everything under the ground will be dug out.

When he saw that his second son had become sensible, he said he wanted to buy a house. He hoped that his second son would always live in the capital and make a name for himself.

"That's it for now. The phone bill is several yuan per minute. Hang up now. Call me if you need anything."

The old father hung up the phone.

If the old father wants to buy a property in the capital, Li Yu will definitely support it.

Housing prices in Beijing are about to take off.

Buying a house or building at this time is a guaranteed profit.

So Li Yu contacted the landlord again, and after some negotiation, he spent 4.5 million to acquire this five-story building covering an area of ​​nearly 250 square meters.

Speaking of which, Li Yu found it a bit funny. The protagonists of other Huayu novels first made money by making movies and then bought a building. He bought a building before the TV series was filmed.

The company was registered, and Gao Yuanliang helped send the script to Optoelectronics for review and successfully obtained the production license.

Luo Jin and others came to the company to sign the contract.

Luo Jin was very grateful for the opportunity given to him by Li Yu, and even asked for zero pay, but Li Yu refused.

Li Yu offered him a salary of 1,500 yuan per episode.

The original version of Full House has sixteen episodes, but one episode of Silla's is one hour long.

Domestic film and television dramas usually have a 45-minute episode, but Li Yu changed it to a total of 22 episodes, so Luo Jin's pre-tax salary was 33,000.

The remuneration seems very low, but it’s actually not low at all.

Su Youpeng was already very popular when he played My Fair Princess a few years ago, and his salary was only 2,000 yuan, while Zhao Yanzi's was 3,000 yuan.

Although the salary in the industry has increased to a certain extent in recent years, it is not as outrageous as the daily salary in later generations.

For Luo Jin, a newcomer who has never acted before, one thousand and five dollars per episode is reasonable.

Everyone else's salary is even lower than that of Luo Jin, the protagonist, except for Yan Danchen, who hasn't come yet.

But today, Li Yu can be regarded as waiting for the most beautiful Chang'e.
