China Entertainment Times

Chapter 4
"Hi Mr. Li, this is Tang An."

In the private room of the hotel, Xu Jinglei introduced.

Tang An saw the targets this time, Li Xiaowan and 18-year-old Yang Mi, as well as her manager Xu Manyun.

"Hello, Mr. Li!" Tang An bent slightly, and stretched out his right hand to Li Xiaowan.

"Hello, Mr. Tang!" Li Xiaowan nodded, and reached out to give him a virtual shake.

Tang An's heart sank. Li Xiaowan didn't call him Director Tang, and it seemed that he still didn't believe him.

But on the surface Tang An still smiled, and turned to Yang Mi and Xu Manyun and nodded.

The 18-year-old Yang Mi still looks like a young and beautiful girl, especially in a cartoon T-shirt and slim-fit jeans, which is more energetic.

Seeing Tang An looking at her, Yang Mi nodded in embarrassment, a little reserved.

Such a young director!Yang Mi who was woken up early in the morning had only one thought in his mind.

Tang An's gaze didn't linger on the two women, even though it was Yang Mi who was unattainable to him in his previous life.

In fact, even Xu Manyun's status in the circle is much higher than that of a third-rate director like him.

Tang An turned to look at Li Xiaowan, "Mr. Li, you must know my reason for coming. I sincerely invite Yang Mi to act as the heroine of this movie!"

In business, talking about business, playing the emotional card and talking about ideals is of no use to Li Xiaowan, who has risen from the bottom and has been in the entertainment industry for more than ten years.

"This old Xu told me that your script is a one-man show for the heroine?" Li Xiaowan nodded slightly.

Tang An took out a script from his bag and handed it over, "This is the script, please read it over, Mr. Li!"

"Hmm!" Li Xiaowan took the script and paused for a second when she saw the title on the cover, but she had seen any strange names before, so she was not surprised and continued to read.

When Li Xiaowan was reading the script, Tang An also added, "Mr. Li, except for the heroine, the total roles of the other actors in this drama are less than 10 minutes. If Yang Mi plays the role, it will be very brilliant! "

Although Rong Xinda is not a top-notch big company in the entertainment industry, he can be regarded as the number one in the filming.

As Rong Xinda's boss, Li Xiaowan would not have come to see Tang An, a "director" with independent directing experience.

However, Li Xiaowan still wanted to give Xu Jinglei some face. After all, in front of a media giant with an official background like Huayi, and owning a TV station, Rong Xin Xinda seemed not enough.

After seven or eight minutes, Li Xiaowan finished reading this not-so-thick script.

I thought it was the same as usual, and it was the so-called literary film that moaned without illness.But watching and watching, Li Xiaowan gradually became interested.

Let’s not talk about how the movie is made, the heroine’s one-man show alone is a huge qualification and a very good experience.

Li Xiaowan had an idea in her mind, she closed the script and put it in front of her without returning it.

"The script is not bad, but I have some questions I want to ask Mr. Tang!"

"Mr. Li just ask!"

"Does Mr. Tang have experience in directing independently? Movies or TV series?"

"Not at all! But I have served as an assistant director in many film crews, and this is the first time I have directed independently!" Tang An said frankly, this kind of thing cannot be deceived, but she is not easy to find out if it is an assistant director. After all, there are so many film and television dramas produced in the whole country every year, some small companies have never even heard of it, unless they go to the radio and television to check.

Xu Jinglai, who had been silent all this time, also said, "President Li, don't worry, he just served as the assistant director of my film, and nearly a quarter of the shots were taken by him, and his professional ability is absolutely trustworthy! "

Li Xiaowan nodded and continued, "What about the filming funds?"

"Please rest assured Mr. Li, I will not rush to start this project without funds!" Tang An said confidently.

Li Xiaowan glanced at Xu Jinglei, nodded and stopped asking about the details of the funds, after all, it was private.

"Then when will the filming start, where will it be filmed, and how long will it take?" Li Xiaowan asked five or six questions in succession.

Tang An was determined, knowing that the matter was likely to be settled, he suppressed his inner excitement, and said, "I'm already starting to prepare the crew, and the shooting location is in Xiangshan, not far from Hengdian. Mr. Li can come anytime Guidance, the shooting time is about a month!"

"What time is it? Yang Mi will start filming "The Legend of Condor Heroes" in early July!"

When Li Xiaowan asked this, she agreed to take over the role.

As soon as Tang An heard that there was a play, he said quickly, "I need half a month to prepare the crew and location, and the filming will start in early May at the latest, when the weather will start to warm up, and it won't conflict with "The Legend of Condor Heroes". "

In two months, even if the filming didn't go well in the middle, the filming could be finished before July, Li Xiaowan nodded immediately.

"Then let's talk about the salary, Mr. Tang, what do you think of 2 yuan for the heroine's one-man show!" Li Xiaowan first said a number.

If all the 2 yuan was given to Yang Mi, then he would only have 1 yuan left to make a movie, and Tang An couldn't agree no matter what.

This is Yang Mi, who is still 18 years old and has no reputation. If she does not change the script and finds a mature woman who is beautiful, temperamental, big, slender, and long-legged according to the original version, even if she is no longer famous, her years of experience will not be enough. There, it's not something that can be won for 2 yuan.

"Mr. Li, isn't 2 yuan a bit high!" Tang An said sincerely after considering his tone.

"Yang Mi hasn't acted in a movie yet, I only signed a one-month schedule, and the filming of this movie will improve her acting skills."

"Let me correct you, Yang Mi already starred in a movie last year." Li Xiaowan said seriously.

"That's just a TV movie!" Tang An retorted.

Li Xiaowan didn't expect Tang An to investigate so clearly, she thought for a while and said, "How much does Mr. Tang think is appropriate?"

Tang An pondered for a while, and reported a number, "3000 yuan is very reasonable for a newcomer."

"How about this, Mr. Tang, let's stop reciprocating. For Lao Xu's sake, I'll discount it in half and round it up to 1 yuan!" Li Xiaowan shook her head and said.

Tang An looked diagonally at Yang Mi, who had a curious and expectant face, and Xu Manyun, who was also curious with light makeup, and nodded cheerfully.

"That's 1, happy cooperation."

"Happy cooperation! Director Tang!"

After signing the contract, Tang An formally shook hands with the three of them.

Tang An put away the contract on the table, "Mr. Li, I'm still busy preparing the crew, so I'm leaving first."

"Director Tang, please do what you want, old Xu, we will meet again when we have time."

Looking at Tang An who left the box, Li Xiaowan turned her head and told Xu Manyun, "If you go there, let me know in time."

Xu Manyun was thoughtful, "Mr. Li, do you suspect that there is something wrong with him?"

Li Xiaowan shook her head, "This film only has the heroine as an actor, and the rest are all extras, so when he agreed to the 1 yuan salary just now, he obviously thought about it, and I'm a little worried."

The entertainment industry often hears of fake directors who lure actors with roles.

Although Tang An was introduced by Xu Jinglai, it's always good to have more intentions.

"President Li, don't worry, I won't let Mimi have anything to do." Xu Manyun nodded seriously. She has also been an agent for several years and knows some dirty things in the entertainment industry.

The conversation between the two made Yang Mi a little nervous, she leaned closer to Xu Manyun, worried, "Sister Manyun..."

"Mi Mi, you don't have to worry, Xu Jinglei is unlikely to introduce everyone." Li Xiaowan smiled, signaling her not to worry too much.
