Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 107

Saying goodbye to Jing Tian, ​​Yuan Hua went to the next banquet.

Called Huang Lei and said that Zhou Xun was asked to be the female lead so that he could match her up and ask her out.

Yuan Hua does have Zhou Xun's contact information, but the relationship between the two is not that good yet.

Especially for Journey, there are too few heroine scenes, almost like cameos, so she may not be able to come.

In the hotel box, Huang Lei and Yuan Hua arrived first, and they chatted happily.

"It's ok, you boy. You've already made your own drama. Would you like me to help you make a cameo?"

"Ms. Huang, stop joking. If you go, who will look at me as the protagonist."

"Then Niuniu can go?"

Yuan Hua was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that the girl Huang Lei was talking about was Zhou Xun. The relationship between the two is a bit confusing.

"Sister Xun is different, she doesn't steal the show, and the embellishment is just right."

"Really, do you bring the script? I hold the eye."

"I brought it." Knowing that Zhou Xun was not easy to invite, Yuan Hua took her script with her.

"What else?" Huang Lei took the two pages of Yuan Hua's paper and did not rush to read it.

"It's gone, it's all here."

"It's gone?" Huang Lei's eyes widened: "Didn't the phone say the heroine, just two pages?"

"Only two pages." Yuan Hua took out the outline of the story: "This drama has a big hero, and there are very few dramas with a heroine, so I invite you to do it all the time."

"I've been tricked by you."

Huang Lei wanted to cry, but when he invited Zhou Xun, he even boasted that he would introduce the female one to her and ask her to invite her to dinner.

This situation is not planned.

It's all here, and it's impossible to leave. Huang Lei can only bite the bullet and read the script and the outline of the story. The movie is short, and he finished it quickly, including the two pages of Zhou Xun's lines.

"It's true that there are too few heroine dramas. You can find amateurs or ordinary actors for this kind of role. Why do you have to Zhou Xun?"

"Because Sister Xun is good at acting."

"to be frank."

"She's famous."

Yuan Hua said pitifully: "I'm miserable. I want to be a father and a mother for this drama. I wish I could spend two cents on the penny. Seeing that the publicity fee is not enough, I can only invite big names to settle in and get some box office."

"It's difficult, and I can't guarantee that she will be able to act."

"Don't worry, you sit still and leave the rest to me."

Today Huang Lei is just a foil, if he can invite people to the task, the task is completed, he and Zhou Xun are the protagonists.

Half an hour later, Zhou Xun arrived, and Yuan Hua got straight to the point after a brief exchange of pleasantries.

"Sister Xun, I asked Teacher Huang to invite you here today mainly because there is a new play that needs your help. This is the script of the first female lead. You should read it first."

After receiving the thin two-page script, Zhou Xun smiled: "Are you sure this is the female lead?"

"Although the characters are small, they are full of essence. The female liar plays the finishing touch in this drama. The characters are rich in layers. She is a rare and good character."

Zhou Xun smiled and looked at Huang Lei: "Your students have already started teaching me how to cast roles."

Huang Lei looked at the nose and the heart with his eyes, as if he didn't hear it.

Seeing that Zhou Xun didn't intend to read the script, Yuan Hua gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Xun, as long as you can act, the salary is not a problem."

The reason why he needs a few million more budget is due to the two unpredictable factors of Zhou Xun and Wang Baoqiang.

If you want to impress an actor, apart from a good script, the only way is high pay.

"Okay, this is what you said, I want 100 million, will you give it?"

Two pages of scripts, two scenes can be filmed in half a day, and the mouth is 100 million. This is not a lion's mouth, and Taotie's mouth is not so exaggerated.

"Yes." After hesitating for a second, Yuan Hua agreed.

As Huang Lei said, anyone can play the role of the female liar, and what he asked Zhou Xun for was her fame.

The appeal of the heroine Zhou Xun on the movie poster is much stronger than the 100 million publicity fee, which is not a loss.

"Really?" Zhou Xun and Huang Lei were frightened.

The value of the two is not low, and they are just now popular. They are among the top actors in the country, and they only cost 500 million yuan to make a movie.

"Yes." Yuan Hua nodded emphatically: "Letting Sister Xun, a four-star movie actress, act as the heroine in two scenes is really too inferior. The 100 million film salary is your compensation. The money is not much, so don't be surprised."

Zhou Xun put away his smiling face: "Young people nowadays, I can't see through them all. I'll accept the drama, and 100 million is fine. Anyway, I don't have a few days to work."

"Sister Xun, what a shame."

"I moved Teacher Huang out, how dare I take money from you, if the movie becomes popular, just give me a red envelope."

"Thank you, sister Xun, I'll do it first, you can do whatever you want."

Zhou Xun doesn't drink, but chats with Huang Lei from time to time, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is really good.

"Mr. Huang, I would like to offer you a toast, thanks to you today."

"No, you kid, stay away from me in the future, don't look for me if you have nothing to do, and don't look for me if you have something to do."

After finalizing the weekly newsletter, the next day Yuan Hua called Wang Baoqiang's agent, who was unexpectedly good at talking with him. He didn't even read the script and directly offered 200 million yuan, so he would go if he could.

Yuan Hua didn't negotiate the price and started asking people to print out the contract.

A few days later, the script reviewed by Optoelectronics was approved, Jing Tian's filming team was in place, and the filming license was successfully issued.

With the director, Yuan Hua traveled to major cities and began to choose locations for shooting.

Since it is a low-budget movie, the scene is naturally a cheap real scene, small county town, small hotel, bus, these are all easy to handle.

The most difficult thing was the two scenes at the airport, which required the cooperation of the Air Traffic Management Bureau. Yuan Hua begged his grandpa to tell his grandma, saying that after the movie was released, he could help them promote it for free, but they would not let him live or die.

In the end, the venue fee of 20 yuan a day was only taken, and it was guaranteed that the flight and passenger boarding would not be affected.

In June, people started on Journey.

"Brother, you are too hardworking."

As an investor on the bright side, Jing Tian came to join in the show on the day of the launch, and was surprised when he saw Yuan Hua's image.

After filming I am a special soldier, Yuan Hua's muscles are obvious, his skin is healthy and wheat-colored, and his glasses are piercing.

This will make my stomach swell, let alone gain twenty pounds, and my hair will be cut into an old-fashioned middle-aged man's hairstyle, which looks no different from that of a 30-year-old man.

The rich facial features are a little less handsome, with a pair of rimless glasses on the straight bridge of the nose, matched with a suit shirt, a proper successful person.

Yuan Hua responded with a smile: "Do you like it, Li Chenggong."

"Like!" Jing Tian gave a thumbs up, feeling distressed and admiring Yuan Hua's perseverance.

Gaining so much weight for a role, she definitely wouldn't be able to do it in another role.

It is not easy to lose weight, and it is not easy to gain weight, especially in a short period of time. She can imagine how much Yuan Hua has suffered in these two or three months.

After the filming is over, it will be another two or three months to lose weight.

Pushing up the glasses on the bridge of the nose with the middle finger, Yuan Hua said: "An actor wants to subvert himself. Once the audience calls your name, it will fail."

"Then am I going to subvert myself?" Jing Tian's voice trembled, a little scared.

"You are playing Li Chenggong's mistress, a beautiful female student who just left school. You don't need to subvert the image, just act in your true colors."

"Hey, hey, tell me clearly, am I a true character acting mistress or a pretty female student?"

"Sorry, sorry, I didn't make it clear."

Yuan Hua apologized seriously, but Jing Tian was a little uncomfortable, she was just making an ordinary joke, why are you so serious.

It made her look like a mistress.
