You don't understand the happiness of the director

Yu Bo has two courtyard houses in the capital, one next to the Lama Temple and one in Shichahai. However, the prices of courtyard houses in the capital are not that exaggerated now. Huang Xiaoming, who may be the richest actor on the scene, glanced at his brother Kun, who has a high-profile face. what does it mean?

Let us write our own remuneration. Should we pay as much as we write?

Or, if you are selected, you will be paid according to what you write, so if you write less, wouldn’t it be a huge loss?

Or, if it is written too high, will it be regarded as a lion's open mouth and be rejected directly?

But Wang Quan also said, don’t deliberately write down, but reflect your own value.

The question asked by Wang Quan was like a psychological test question, which made the ten candidates start to make their own calculations in their minds.

They need to write down two numbers. The current salary for the first film means their value in the industry at this time, and the salary for the sixth film about ten years later will test their potential.

Huang Xiaoming's current salary is more than two million. The salary for the first movie was written as 2 million. For the sixth movie, it was simply multiplied by six to get 12 million.

This is already relatively high for him. Chen Kun also wrote the first part for 2 million, and the sixth part for 10 million. He feels that 10 million is already an unimaginable number for him. No matter how high it is, he will feel that he is not worthy of it. On.

However, there are not many who are higher than Huang Xiaoming. Zhao Wenzhuo earned 1 million for the first part and 20 million for the sixth part. Wu Jing made 500,000 for the first part and 15 million for the sixth part.

Both of them have been in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong, and they know how terrible the salary of Hong Kong action superstars is. Not to mention Cheng Long and Li Lienjie, the salary of Zhen Zidan for starring in "Ip Man 2" has reached an astonishing 30 million. If they had acted in King Quan's movie and the previous five movies, they would be almost there, not to mention surpassing Zhen Zidan. Writing this way is already a huge underestimate.

But they are not the most exaggerated. The one with the highest figures is Deng Chao, with 1 million for the first part and 30 million for the sixth part, which is the highest among the ten people present.

Wang Quan couldn't help but ask Deng Chao, "Teacher Deng Chao, your salary for writing is very high."

Deng Chao immediately started sweating on his forehead, he must not be the tallest, you guys are too hypocritical, he was about to say that he wrote an extra zero, Wang Quan asked again, "Can you tell me what you think of writing like this?" "

Deng Chao quickly stood up and answered, Wang Quan pressed his hand, "Sit down and chat."

"Director, this is what I think. If our movie can be made into a sixth one, how successful it will be. Maybe it will go global. And I am optimistic about our mainland movie market. There will definitely be billions in the future. For a movie that hits the box office, the salary of top actors may exceed 100 million, so the numbers I wrote are based on the judgment of the film market ten years from now."

The implication is that in the future, the salary of top actors will exceed 100 million, and I only want 30 million. Isn’t that very kind?

Wang Quan nodded. In fact, the numbers copied by Deng had not yet touched his thread, and there was no such thing as a lion's mouth. People of this era really couldn't imagine the prosperity of the market and the high salaries in ten years. Open it.

Moreover, in a series of blockbuster movies, actors and roles are deeply bound, and there is no way to save too much on salary. Robert Downey Jr. played Iron Man for the first and last time, and his salary increased 150 times.

Rather than fussing over the paycheck, which can lead to alienation, it is better to provide the paycheck fully at the beginning so that the actors can devote themselves wholeheartedly to character creation and reduce worries.

If Xu Zheng can be more generous to Wang Baoqiang in the future, maybe the "囧" series will not reach a dead end, and the "Tang Detective" series will not have a chance to rise.

Seeing that Deng Chao, who was usually laughing and joking, was obviously nervous, Wang Quan comforted him and said, "In fact, high pay is sometimes a kind of protection for actors, which allows actors to focus more on their acting profession instead of doing it for higher-level enjoyment. Some are there and some are not, which distracts the energy and sometimes leads astray.”

Chen Kun looked at his Xiao Ming, oh, why is his face red?

Xiao Ming: Radiant!

In fact, it’s because he has the most side jobs among them, and because he feels that acting is really incomparable to the money he can make from doing business, so he just bought some Huayi stock, and now it has doubled dozens of times, earning more than 100 million. How many plays do you have to do to earn so much!

Wang Quan added, "Of course, high pay and high risks are relative. If we can cooperate this time, the liquidated damages in the contract will also be very high. I hope everyone can understand."

For example, our crew has made all preparations, and it will earn hundreds of millions upon release, but you are banned due to violations of laws and disciplines. Sorry, you need to bear the risk yourself.

However, he believed that nothing like that would happen to the people in front of him, otherwise Wang Quan would not have let them go to the audition round.

Wang Quan used a short quiz to liven up the atmosphere and asked everyone to drink some water. At this time, everyone else stared at Deng Chao curiously. How much did you write? Let the director ask alone. When we ask for payment in the future, can we pay for the film? Can't be higher than you.

Later, Clara distributed to everyone a test paper for the "Tenth Level Examination for Ghost Blowing Lamp Professional", which was jointly produced by Tianxia Ba Sing and the company's Deng Filament. There were 20 questions in total, with fill-in-the-blanks and choices, totaling 100 points.

Everyone is very confident. Since Wang Quan announced the new film plan a month ago, these actors who have ideas for the male protagonist have already finished the first part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", and some have even finished the entire series.

However, the first question stumps many people.

"1. What is Hu Bayi's birth date?"

We know that it is August 1st, but not everyone knows the specific year.

"2. Who are the four factions of the Thief Sect?"

This is simple. Wait a minute, how do you write xie in xieling?

"3. What is Hu Bayi's education level? A primary school, B junior high school, C high school, D technical secondary school."...

Huang Jianxin reminded, "Don't whisper to each other and don't peek at other people's answers. Maybe they are wrong."

Wu Jing scratched his head after hearing this. Just now he was looking at Gu Zhixin's answer. The young man answered quickly.

Wang Quan gave them half an hour. After the papers were collected, Chen Chuling was responsible for judging them. Wang Quan took the opportunity to chat with them, "Don't worry, everyone, this is just a small test, it's no big deal."

Chen Chuling finished reading the paper quickly, and Wang Quan read the results, "From low to high, Zhao Wenzhuo scored 45 points, Gu Zhixin scored 50 points..."

Wu Jing glanced at Xiaogu: Damn, it turns out you are not as good as me!

Gu Zhixin: But I was the first to hand in the paper!

"Wu Jing scored 60 points, Qin Hao scored 60 points, and Chen Kun scored 70 points."

Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief and passed! Long live passing!

After reading these five, Wang Quan paused and said, "Zhu Yawen scored 75 points, Yu Bo scored 80 points, Liu Ye scored 85 points, Huang Xiaoming scored 90 points, and Deng Chao scored 95 points. Congratulations to Teacher Deng Chao. He is indeed the man who proposed a salary of 30 million. You deserve it for your hard work."

Wang Quan was telling the truth, but Deng Chao thought that Wang Quan was deliberately shaming him, and his face turned red. Everyone's eyes were focused on him, with disbelief in his eyes, as if to say: You are too dare to ask for it. Come on, you are crazy!

Especially Huang Xiaoming, as if he was looking at a fool, who is the first brother of Huayi? I only want 12 million, you are finished, you will definitely be out of business, I tell you.

Wang Quan continued, "In addition to Deng Chao, I would also like to congratulate the top five teachers."

Hearing this, Chen Kun, Wu Jing and others felt their hearts tremble. Could it be that they have been eliminated? Is this exam so important?

However, Wang Quan asks everyone to follow him next, and it does not seem like he will be eliminated directly.

A bus downstairs picked them up, but when they got on the bus, everyone's eyes had to be blindfolded. Wang Quan also reminded, "Without eyes and ears, everyone should pay attention to the surrounding environment along the way."

Liu Ye: Oh my god, is it so exciting? It’s just an audition!

Chen Kun: This is definitely the most unforgettable audition in my life. It feels like an agent joint.

Wu Jing: Where are they taking us? Isn't it some military base?

Zhu Yawen: It’s fun, it’s really fun!

Qin Hao: Humph, you are trying to be mysterious, what is there to hear on this road? By the way, you can probably analyze the route by listening to the sound of the bus announcing its stop!

After being taken to the place, the top five were taken away first and asked to change into a new outfit. The bottom five could only wait slowly with blindfolds on. The test just now was for the purpose of distinguishing between them.

About an hour later, the five people came back and took off their blindfolds, and the other five people were taken away again.

Zhu Yawen asked about his doubts along the way, "Director, why did you ask us to listen to the sounds outside on the road? It seems to be of no use."

Wang Quan, "It's really of no use. It's just to give you something to do so that you don't have to think too much."

Zhu Yawen five people:...

Liu Ye asked again, "Then are there any differences between the top five and the bottom five?"

Wang Quan pointed to the clothes on his body, "You have a look, which makes you more immersed, but they don't."

Five Liu Ye people:...

Wang Quan, "Don't underestimate this makeup. With them, the shooting effect will be better, and I will ultimately decide the choice of Hu Bayi based on your performance just now."

The five people immediately became happy, saying that the top five is really useful.

This is actually an escape room store, opened by a high school classmate of Wang Quan, and it is also the first one in Beijing. The escape room they just took them to experience is a recently designed tomb robbing themed escape room, and it has not been made public yet. They are the first batch to experience it. .

Wang Quan put each of them in for ten minutes and asked them to decipher the identity of Hu Bayi, and there were always three photographers and five fixed lenses around him to follow and record.

The most important thing Wang Quan wanted to see was whether the actor and the costume would be coordinated in a tomb, and whether there would be any violation or discomfort. It was equivalent to a short test shoot.

While waiting, Wang Quan and Zhu Yawen changed their clothes and went downstairs to play a game of three-on-three basketball. Wang Quan felt that his skills had greatly improved and he often intercepted the ball while walking. Although the throw was as inaccurate as ever, But he became the top scorer in the game.

After breaking out in a sweat, the other five actors returned.

Ten people had arrived and the afternoon had passed. Wang Quan smiled and said, "I am very happy to meet you all today. Seeing you makes me see the future of Chinese films. I don't know if you have time tonight. I invite you to a banquet at Mei Mansion." Have a meal.”

"I have time!" Zhu Yawen was the first to respond. He had never been to that valuable place. He and Qin Hao should be the poor ones here.

Several of these ten people had been to the Meifu Banquet. They used to want to meet Wang Quan, but now they were invited by Wang Quan. This has a very different meaning. Naturally, everyone raised their hands in agreement.

On the bus back, everyone was in a daze. The audition ended like this. It was too hasty. Everyone was reflecting on whether they had not performed well in the secret room just now.

Wang Quan told them, "I will personally edit everyone's performance in the secret room into a short film, which will be regarded as a small gift for the losers."

This little gift cheered up most depressed people. Wang Quan has only made a few short films in total. The last one even won an Oscar. Now he is going to make a short film for himself. Even if he doesn't get to play his part, it's worth it. Yes!

Then Wu Jing began to beat his chest, "I was blinded immediately after entering. I didn't know where to start. It took me five minutes to get into the state. I guess the material was too tight."

Then they began to discuss what clues they had found in the secret room and passed several tests.

You will definitely not be able to pass the secret room after ten minutes of playing for the first time. The dumber ones may not even be able to find a single clue. This is the case for four people including Wu Jing. Although some people did not successfully decrypt the secret, the performance was not good at all. Falling down, acting very Hu Bayi.

The most successful one is undoubtedly Liu Ye. He really got into the game and solved three clues. If you give him another 20 minutes, he will probably be able to get out on his own.

When they arrived at the Meifu Banquet, the private room had been prepared for them. Huang Jianxin and Chen Chuling arrived first and did not see Mei Yanqiu because they were still taking care of the pregnant woman in Los Angeles.

During the meal, Wang Quan told them, "I will wait for Shirley Yang's audition and then decide on the candidate based on the suitability of the two characters."

There will be an audition for the actress the day after tomorrow. The selection of the two male and female protagonists actually affects each other. For example, if Zhu Yawen is selected, then the actress must be a young post-80s generation. If the actress is selected Li Bingbing, Zhu Yawen in 1984 was the first to be eliminated.

Wang Quan added, "After making a decision, if I am selected, I will personally call to inform you. If I regret not being selected, I will send a text message. Please remember my mobile phone number."

Qin Hao and Gu Zhixin were overjoyed. Even if they were not selected, they could get Wang Quan's private number and they would be considered to have connections in the film industry.

After the show was over, Deng Chao immediately called Sun Li back and told her about her embarrassment today.

Liu Ye hurried home to tell his pregnant daughter-in-law Anna about today's experience.

Chen Kun also called Zhou Xun to talk about this novel audition experience.

Huang Xiaoming called Zhao V, but the other party was still on the phone...

Wu Jing, who was single, had no one to tell him. He thought of the female host Xie Nan from "The Best Live" and couldn't help but smile. However, the other party didn't seem to like me very much, and her attitude was a bit evasive. Was it because she thought I was too old or because she was too old? I don't take a shower?

Just as he was thinking about it, an unexpected phone call came, "Brother Jing, are you in the capital?"

The caller was Lu Jingshan, the heroine of Wu Jing's first directorial film "Spike". It was also Lu Jingshan's film debut. Although it was a less successful film, it was very meaningful to both of them.

"Shanshan, I'm in the capital, what's going on?"

"I'm coming to the capital to attend an audition and I'll have a date with you."

"Okay, I'll decide the place, and I'll definitely arrange it for you. By the way, what show are you auditioning for, do you want me to say hello to you?"

Saying hello doesn't mean that it will help her win the role, but it just ensures that she won't be bullied.

"Ah, is it true? That's great. Brother Jing, can you say hello to Director Wang Quan?"

Wu Jing said, "..."
