The Salted Fish Invading the Entertainment Circle

Chapter 77
"Daddy Yang, there is some bad news." Prince Lin pushed the door in with an ugly expression.

Yang Zhu, who was carefully watching the photos sent back by the location director on the computer, raised his head: "What's wrong?"

Lin Tu gently closed the office door: "Hongxiang Capital recommended a celebrity to come over, and they want to fight for the number one male in this movie."

Yang Zhu frowned tightly upon hearing this;
When the film project was approved, the budget was as high as 1.2 million. Although it was not top-notch, it was considered a big production in China; so after several negotiations, Hongxiang Capital also injected 4000 million.

With the success of Yang Zhu's two films, many people have been staring at them for a long time. Projects with a return on capital of more than 100% are full of fragrant buns wherever they are placed.

And absorbing the capital injection of Hongxiang Capital is not only to share the capital risk, but also the practice of film and television projects: if you eat meat, you have to leave soup for others. Eating alone will offend others!

However, there are many annoying things about joint venture projects. For example, both parties have the qualifications to recommend important actors, although in terms of unspoken rules, it is up to Yang Zhu to set the roles with the most roles first. , the remaining one or two main characters are recommended by Hongxiang Capital.

but……

In Yang Zhu's movie, there are 4 characters in total: the hero and heroine, plus a villain and a little girl.

Everyone knew that the heroine would definitely be Wan Jing, and the villain was already decided by Prince Lin; and there were no child actors at Hongxiang Capital; in this case, people recommended a male artist to look at the male protagonist, Yang Zhu. It's really hard to say anything.

Who told you that there are no male artists under your banner?
Yang Zhu pulled out a cigarette a little irritably and lit it, NND, I was still undecided between Guo Tao and Pan Yueming two days ago, and I planned to let them PK to decide who will play the leading role; this is all right , Was it intercepted?
……

"Who is the artist recommended by the other party? Do you have any information?" Yang Zhu took a few puffs of cigarettes and asked Lin Tu.

Lin Tu took out a USB flash drive and handed it over: "The other party's name is Ling Xiaoshu. He made his debut in 02 and has been in the TV circle. His image is not bad, and his acting skills... Although he is not as good as Guo Tao and the others, he is still passable."

Yang Zhu didn't have much impression of this name. He took the USB flash drive and plugged it into the computer to see that this person looked familiar. After thinking about it carefully, isn't this the playboy in "The Temptation of Going Home" in another world?

He let out a slightly depressed breath, originally thinking that if the other party sent a small fresh meat, he could reply with a sentence of "acting skills are not good enough" at that time, but this Ling Xiaoshu... In my impression, the acting skills are not bad?
Yang Zhu took another two big gulps, and then smashed out the butt of the cigarette: "Sure, since this is the case, everyone follow the rules; give him a call over there and ask him to come over to try the mirror this afternoon."

Hearing the words, Prince Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He knew that Yang Dafa liked Guo Tao or Pan Yueming as the heroine; The villains in the game will be donated in exchange for PY.

Immediately without further ado, went out to make a phone call.

………………

At three o'clock in the afternoon, a nanny car appeared under the office building where Xianyu Studio was located.

A woman in her 30s checked the location information on her mobile phone, and then looked around from the car window: "This is the right place."

Immediately the car door opened, and a man and a woman stepped out.

"Sister Wen, are you sure it's here?" Ling Xiaoshu asked with a frown as he looked at the old office building.

"It's right here." The agent known as Sister Wen said.

"Didn't you say it was a movie with an investment of more than 1 million yuan? How could it be in such a place? Could it be a liar?" Ling Xiaoshu hesitated.

Sister Wen gave him a reassuring look: "Probably not, Xianyu Studio has already made two movies, and the box office is not bad, so it shouldn't be a liar, but..."

Sister Wen seemed to have thought of something: "" At the beginning, this Xianyu studio made small and medium-sized movies, but suddenly a big movie with more than 1 million yuan came up, I'm afraid it's a bit tricky.

Ling Xiaoshu looked at his manager with a bad expression on his face: "You mean, this movie might be a shell project?"

The so-called empty-shell project means that there is a script, can code Cass, and even pretend to start filming, but either the grass-roots team has finished the filming, and the actual cost is less than 1/4 of the budget; In private, they signed a low-priced yin-yang contract; as for why they did this, everyone knew.

Sister Wen sighed: "It's possible, although this project is jointly established by Dahua Investment and Hongxiang Capital behind us, but the capital... this kind of thing is not once or twice."

It's no wonder they think so, you know, in the "appearance first" entertainment circle, even leather bag companies will take out the last coins in their pockets to decorate their offices beautifully, or rent them out for themselves. The last piece of clothing that didn't match the price made him look like a dog, in order not to let others look down on him.

Such a willful and grassroots film and television organization like Xianyu Studio is really the only one.

A trace of disappointment appeared in Ling Xiaoshu's eyes: those who thought they could break into the film circle said...

………………

The two walked into the elevator of the "civilian" office building. Sister Wen took out a tissue to wrap her hands in disgust, and pressed the button on the 13th floor: "This Xianyu studio is too careless. On the 13th floor, didn't you invite a Feng Shui master to come and take a look?"

Looking at Ling Xiaoshu's uneasy face, he warned: "Whether it's a shell project or not, after a while after entering, there must be a lot of etiquette and a good posture; after all, it is a cooperation project with Dahua Investment. You can't sweep people's faces."

Ling Xiaoshu nodded, and began to adjust his mentality and manage his facial expressions.

After getting out of the elevator, the two walked to the door of Room 1303 and lightly pressed the doorbell. After a while, the little white rabbit opened the door and welcomed them in.

When Ling Xiaoshu saw the little white rabbit in casual Hanfu, his eyes lit up, and he immediately felt that this office, which was less than 100 square meters in total, was not so shabby anymore.

When they entered Yang Zhu's office and saw this 27-year-old young man with a ruffian face, the last hope in their hearts was completely shattered...

After exchanging pleasantries, Mr. Yang carefully observed Ling Xiaoshu in front of him.

What should I say about this man's appearance?Not really handsome, but definitely not ugly either;

Some thin cheeks, a pair of slightly triangular eyes, a decadent breath blowing towards his face;

Hmm... He is a relatively recognizable actor. This kind of image may not be very popular in the TV circle, but it is very suitable in the movie circle. The most important thing is that it matches the image requirements of the male protagonist in his own script. [-]% to [-]% match;

No wonder Hongxiang Capital recommended such a person to come here. It seems that they have worked hard, and it's not that all cats and dogs are stuffed into themselves.

"Mm...Mr. Ling, Ms. Wen, you are busy people, so let's get straight to the point." Yang Zhu handed over the root, Ling Xiaoshu politely refused, he didn't care, lit a cigarette and took a puff .

"Mr. Ling, there is nothing wrong with your image. I have seen your previous works, but acting in TV and acting in movies are two different things. I still need to confirm your expressiveness on the spot." Yang Zhu beckoned, little white rabbit He brought two copies of the male protagonist's script, first gave one to his boss, and then handed the other to Ling Xiaoshu.

Ling Xiaoshu felt a little displeased, thinking to himself why such an empty-shell project made it so formal, everyone just dealt with it and let it go?People nowadays like to pretend to be wolves with big tails.

But remembering Sister Wen's previous instructions, he remained calm and leaned forward respectfully: "Okay, Director Yang, which part do you want me to act in?"

Although Yang Zhu felt that his respectful expression was a bit fake, but thinking about the first time we met and he was a young director, he didn't take it to heart: "Then the third paragraph on page 5, it is the hero who is anxious to send his daughter to the This section of the train station, get ready, it will start in 3 minutes."

Ling Xiaoshu suppressed all the emotions in his heart and read the script seriously.

After 5 minutes, he first nodded to Yang Zhu, then stood up, closed his eyes and brewed his emotions,

After more than ten seconds, he opened his eyes, showing a hint of impatience on his face, but quickly turned into a somewhat perfunctory comforting expression, first took a deep breath from his nose, then knelt down and touched the corner of the coffee table:
"Xiao Dan, listen to Dad, let's go in and find Mom, okay? Dad will be late if he doesn't go to work, and his wages will be deducted if he is late, and he will have no money to buy a doll for Xiao Dan."

Yang Zhu touched his chin, and it was okay.Although the expression is still a bit routine in all aspects, but the general feeling has come out.

"OK, this paragraph is over, turn to page 9, paragraph 5, and act out the paragraph where the hero closes the aisle door and locks the passengers behind him."

……

After more than 20 minutes, when Ling Xiaoshu's impatience was about to explode, Yang Zhu stopped the teaching test and said to Ling Xiaoshu, "OK, let's go here first."

Signaling the little white rabbit on the side to change the cold tea for the two, Yang Zhu thought for a while and said: "Mr. Ling, I have a general understanding of your situation. The requirements are so short..."

Feeling that he had been a monkey for more than 20 minutes, Ling Xiaoshu's face changed, and he wanted to explode, but he finally endured it.

Yang Zhu, who lowered his head to hold the cup, did not see this scene: "But..."

"After all, Dahua Investment is now in a cooperative state with Hongxiang Capital. If you can bear the hardships, you will completely follow my arrangements and orders when filming. It's not that you can't give you the role of the male lead."

Ling Xiaoshu looked at Yang Zhu, who was full of confidence, with contempt in his heart, meaning that without Hongxiang's capital, you would look down on me?
cut!who do you think You Are?
But he still forced a smile and said, "Thank you, Director Yang, for your attention. If I am lucky enough to participate in the performance, I will definitely trouble you in the future."

Yang Zhu saw his reluctance, and didn't take it seriously: "OK, then let's stop here today, and we will send you the contract later, I hope we can cooperate happily."

Ling Xiaoshu and Sister Wen stood up, shook hands politely, and turned to leave.

Going downstairs to the nanny's car, Ling Xiaoshu spat hard:
"Bah! What the hell..."

PS: According to the editor, it will be on the shelves on Friday, but I don't know the exact time. I hope everyone will support it.

As for how much it can explode every day after it is put on the shelves,

Hmm... Try your best to burst out 1 words a day, when you can't hold it anymore and when you drop it, if there are more, the author as a handicapped party is really beyond his strength.
