Entertaining Children

   Chapter 1080

   "Unexpectedly, Sister He Ying also watched the women's group show?" Xiao Yao smiled.

  As soon as Xiao Yao talked about giving classes to girls, He Ying knew that it was for idol girl groups. Obviously, Xiao Yao also learned about the preparation of the film project through this group's comprehensive program.

  The pre-casting work of this film, Xiao Yao was entrusted to a casting studio. The casting studio helped Xiao Yao choose actors. Naturally, we need to understand clearly about the pay. This is a small-cost movie with a production cost budget of no more than 10 million. The actors' pay is not much. The casting studio would not consider an actor like He Ying.

  Xiao Yao wants to do this film project, except for a few partners of the film and television company, it is estimated that only a few people such as Sun Tingting's parents know about it. In this preparatory stage, there is no need for media publicity, and these people will not help Xiao Yao publicize it everywhere.

   is not a casting studio, not a family or friend around her, so the way for He Ying to learn about this news is obviously only what Xiao Yao revealed when she was chatting with the girls on the group show last week.

   "I really don't have much interest in idol groups, but I heard that you are a guest, so I just watched it." He Ying smiled, "Who would have unexpectedly learned that you are preparing a new movie again."

  "How is it? You haven't answered my question just now?" He Ying asked again.

   "Tell you the truth," Xiao Yao said, "I can't afford an actor of your worth!"

  "Come less!" He Ying smiled, "In the past year, both of your films have hit the box office, and you made a lot of money. I don't have a lot of money to make movies. Why can't you not afford it?"

   "It has nothing to do with how much money I have," Xiao Yao said, "The budget for the movie has been set! This is a low-cost movie, and the budget for the actors' remuneration is not large."

  The film prepared by Xiao Yao is different from the short film "Tuner" made a few years ago. The short film does not take long. Those characters can be filmed in one or two days. At that time, he was young, and he did not have much money to be a film director for the first time. It looked like a joke, so Cheeky, I found a bunch of relatives and friends to film for myself for free. Now Xiao Yao is making feature films, and the time and energy required by actors is completely different from short films. With Xiao Yao's current fame, status, and wealth, naturally he can no longer do this kind of thing.

Of course, in Xiao Yao’s current situation, it’s not that he really has no money and can’t afford to hire big-name star actors, but the big reason why he made this movie is because Sun Tingting is not particularly optimistic about the movie’s box office prospects. There is not much ambition. He felt that the film did not need any big-name star actors, so he set the film's production cost and the actors' salary budget to be relatively low. Since the movie's cost budget and remuneration budget were indeed set relatively low, Xiao Yao naturally took it as a reason for his rejection at this time.

  "The budget can be increased if it is set!" He Ying said, "If the budget is not enough, I can invest! How about using the remuneration for investment? If it is not enough, I can also take out the money!"

   "If you don't take my money, give me the money?" Xiao Yao smiled, "You have so much confidence in me?"

   "Of course!" He Ying said, "I have seen your enchanting ability with my own eyes. Of course I have confidence in you!"

  He Ying and Xiao Yao recorded "Sound in the Scene" together, and helped Xiao Yao do the dubbing of "Wali". No matter what the outside world says, He Ying has really experienced Xiao Yao's ability.

  Xiao Yao's film and television works are not many, but his reputation is quite good. Not to mention the early TV series, the short film "Tuner" and the animated film "Wali" both scored above 8.5 points, which is close to 9 points. The starring feature films "127 Hours" and "Parkour Boys" The scores are all above 7 points. Except for "127 Hours", the others are written and directed by Xiao Yao.

  He Ying actively wants to participate in Xiao Yao's film project, not because he has taken a fancy to Xiao Yao's film profitability, but because of Xiao Yao's ability and reputation.

   "Thank you for trusting me," Xiao Yao said, "It's just..."

  Speaking of this, Xiao Yao suddenly had an idea in his heart and changed his words, “You haven’t even read the script, so you said you want to cooperate with me. Is your trust a bit blind?”

"Of course I need to watch the script!" He Ying said, "Although I did recommend myself, but it is also based on the proper role. Even if you think a role is suitable for me, I have to agree with me if I agree with it. Yes. We can talk about the right role. If there is no suitable role, I won't ask you to put me in, so you don't have to be under pressure."

   "Okay!" Xiao Yao said, "I will send you the script at noon. After you have read it, we will find some time to talk in person. Now, I will go to class first!"

   "Okay, then you should be busy first! We will contact you later." He Ying said, "Goodbye!"

  He Ying made this call to find out if there is any possibility of cooperation, and did not expect a call to confirm. Having said that, the goal is basically achieved.

   "Goodbye Sister He Ying!" Xiao Yao put away the phone, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

   Xiao Yao originally had no intention of inviting big-name stars to join him. He originally wanted to directly reject He Ying on the grounds that there was no suitable role for He Ying in the movie. But when He Ying was so positive, Xiao Yao suddenly had a more interesting idea.

  There are only three female characters in this movie, of which only the heroine Zhang Yiman is more suitable for He Ying. Among the remaining two female characters, the principal's daughter, Sun Jia, is a little girl who is not suitable for He Ying in terms of appearance or age. Another female character is the wife of a coppersmith. She looks ugly, and her language and behavior are quite rude. She is almost like a shrew and a vixen. She is also very different from He Ying's temperament and image. It can be said to be a natural difference. Farewell.

  The role of the heroine Zhang Yiman has been reserved by Sun Tingting. Although from the perspective of age and image, He Ying seems to be more suitable for this role than Sun Tingting, but this movie was made for Sun Tingting, and Xiao Yao will certainly not change the candidate for this role. On the surface, there is indeed no role suitable for He Ying in the movie, but Xiao Yao suddenly remembered that in the original version of the previous life, the actress who played the blacksmith’s wife was not an ugly girl, but she was actually quite pretty. .

  He Ying is like a goddess in the hearts of audiences and fans. Even if he has played some roles such as small people at the bottom of the society before, at most, he has a simpler and more rustic image, and has never played an ugly shrew role. The temperament goddess He Ying plays the vixen? Just imagine that scene, Xiao Yao found it extremely interesting.

Once the idea of ​​   appeared in his mind, Xiao Yao could not contain his desire to make it a reality. In contrast, what invites stars to join in, increases the production cost of the movie, and the salary budget, those are not a problem here in Xiao Yao.

   However, even though Xiao Yao had this idea, whether He Ying herself would agree to play this role in a self-destructive image, Xiao Yao was actually quite unsure.

  It is not uncommon for actresses to self-destroy their images for their roles in both domestic and foreign countries, but on He Ying, this possibility seems unlikely.

  First of all, most beautiful actresses play ugly to show their acting skills and to embody their identity as powerful actors. Although He Ying is beautiful, she is not a vase. She can be invited by "Sound on the Scene". She is recognized as a powerful actor in the eyes of the audience. She does not need such an ugly character image to show her acting skills. .

  Secondly, many actresses play ugly to win awards. But the role of this role is the least of the three female roles. Not to mention the comparison with the heroine Zhang Yiman, she has much fewer roles than Sun Jia, the daughter of another female character principal. In terms of awards, He Ying of course missed the heroine in this movie. However, the proportion of the role of this role, no matter how well He Ying plays, no matter how brilliant, in the end, she may not even be selected for the best supporting actress.

Xiao Yao is willing to let star actors like He Ying try this role, because with the weight of this role in the movie, no matter how well He Ying plays well, he can’t steal the audience’s attention from the heroine Zhang Yiman played by Sun Tingting. However, it is precisely for this reason that Xiao Yao has great doubts about the possibility of He Ying playing this role.

  Although I think the hope may not be great, this idea is too tempting, Xiao Yao still wants to try his best. Obviously, this is not something that can convince He Ying with a sentence or two on the phone, so Xiao Yao deliberately changed his words to the script, and showed her the script first, and then found a time to talk with her face to face.

   Although Xiao Yao walked away to answer the phone, he only walked away a little bit and did not leave the practice room. The girls in the women's team didn't come over immediately after seeing him put the phone away, instead they stood there laughing weirdly, and they came around curiously.

   "Senior, whose phone number is it?" Lin Yunan asked first, "Seeing you smile like that, is there something good?"

   "Ah," Xiao Yao smiled, "A friend called and asked me about the movie."

"What about the movie? Do you want to play a role in your movie?" Lin Yunan said, "By the way, have you found all the actors in that movie? Is there a suitable role for us to let us try it out? of?"

  In the entertainment industry, actors are relatively high in status, and they are also the direction that many artists most want to try to reach. Regardless of domestic and foreign, there are many idol stars who have transformed into actors, and their female group members are no exception.

Lin Yunan heard from Wei Yunjing about Xiao Yao's invitation to invite Di to guest roles in the TV drama crew, knowing that Xiao Yao also said that they also welcome the others to come guest roles in the TV drama crew. I feel that Xiao Yao at least does not exclude them from letting them go to themselves. Were electrocuted in the film and television project.

  Compared with the TV series that Xiao Yao invested but neither directed nor starred in, but only made a cameo appearance, it is obvious that the film directed by Xiao Yao himself is more attractive. Listening to Xiao Yao talking about the movie, Lin Yunan would certainly not let go of this opportunity. Although Xiao Yao said that the heroine of the movie is his girlfriend, Sun Tingting, there are so many characters in a movie. They have no extravagant expectation of being a leading or supporting role. Even if it is a small supporting role, it is better than a TV series. The role here is much more influential.

  "Don't think about it!" came to Zhaodi but poured cold water on Lin Yunan, "I just heard the senior called Sister He Ying on the phone, but it was Teacher He Ying who called the senior!"

   "What's wrong with Teacher He Ying?" Lin Yunan said, "I am not fighting for the role of Teacher He Ying!"

"The heroine of the senior in that movie has already been her girlfriend, and she will definitely not change, so it is definitely impossible for Mr. He Ying to play the leading role! The senior was smiling after answering the phone just now, indicating that he did not directly refuse. In other words, Teacher He Ying didn’t ask the senior to play the heroine!" Lai Zhaodi said, "Think about it, even an actor like Teacher He Ying called the senior to ask about the role in the movie, and she was not a female. The protagonist, then what kind of actors are the other characters? We are like this, even if we go, at most they will be extras, serving as a background board."

   "What's wrong with being a background board?" Lin Yunan said, "Even if it is a background board, it is also a very beautiful background board!"

"How do you know that Teacher He Ying asked me for a role?" Xiao Yao looked at Lai Zhaodi and smiled, "Just listen to my name, and just fill up so much content? It really is a girl with a brain hole! "

  "No?" Lin Yunan said with joy.

   "Did I say that?" Xiao Yao smiled.

   "Huh?" Lin Yunan's face collapsed, "What the **** is going on?"

"It's my personal business for Teacher He Ying to call me! I don't have to tell you?" Xiao Yao said, "As for you, I can only regret to say that this movie does not suit any of you. There are not many roles in my movie. There are only three female roles in total, and there are almost no extras, so even if I want to ask you to be the background board for the most beautiful characters for me, there is no chance this time."

  "Oh~" Several girls including Lin Yunan sighed in disappointment.

"Okay," Xiao Yao clapped his hands. "You are still members of the idol girl group. At least for some time in the future, filming cannot be your development direction and main business. I don't mind talking to you if I have the opportunity in the future. Cooperate and invite you to act, but for now, let's focus on the main task before us!"

   "Oh!" The girls nodded, sorted out their expressions and moods, and stood up again.

"Today is the second collective training." Xiao Yao said sternly, "It has been a week since the last practice. First of all, I want to look at the results of your own practice this week, as well as the tasks assigned last time. Completion status."
