Entertainment from Charlotte's Troubles

Chapter 161
"Wait, I'll get the script for you."

Yuan Hua spoke seriously, and it seemed that he was going to go all the way to the dark. Yang Siwei had no choice but to get him the script.

Lowering his head, he pulled out a cardboard box from the cabinet under the desk.

"boom!"

After moving the laborious cardboard box to the desk, Yang Siwei let out a sigh.

For her obese body, manual labor is not her strong point.

"From before you were shortlisted to after you won the award, there are more than 40 scripts, all of which are here. I am a layman and don't understand the scripts. You can read them yourself."

It's a lie to say that you don't understand, a capable agent, there is no reason why a script can't be distinguished from good or bad, she said this out of anger.

With a lot of money to spare, Yuan Hua decided to accept the script.

That is to say, she is in a good mood, and if it were another manager, she would be pissed off right now.

Tens of millions, it's just gone. You must know that Yuan Hua gets dividends of all the money she earns. She lost several million in this wave.

Taking out the Suxiao Jiuxin Pill, Yang Siwei ate seven or eight pills in front of Yuan Hua.

Then arrogantly turned his head aside, without saying a word.

Yuan Hua laughed, ignored her, and opened the script by himself.

Start at the top layer.

He reads the script very quickly, most of them read the beginning, and then put down the outline of the story.

If you haven't heard of it, don't act!
It's that unpretentious.

Half an hour later, the scripts on the table were piled up to a height of half a meter.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk!"

"Brother Hua, you're here too."

At the door, Li Yifeng poked his head, pushed open the half-hidden door and entered.

The nasal cavity hummed lightly, Yuan Hua continued to focus on the script, Yang Siwei put his hands on his chest, and said flatly: "What's the matter?"

"Well, let me ask about the "salary" last month..."

Last month, the company was busy. Tomb Raiders' Notes film followed up with the box office, Li Yifeng's commercial endorsement, and Yuan Hua's series of jobs after he won the best actor.

Li Yifeng's remuneration and commercial endorsement fees are settled every January. He was busy last month, and he has not dealt with it until now.

"I'll help you right away, wait." Sitting back in front of the computer, Yang Siwei clattered on the keyboard.

While waiting, Li Yifeng looked at the scripts on the table and said enviously, "Are these all Brother Hua's?"

Half a meter high, how many dramas does this take.

All these scripts were given to him, and he couldn't finish filming for three years without eating or drinking.

At this moment, besides being envious, he is still envious. Of course, he also has a little bit of fantasy, imagining when he will be so awesome.

"Well, it's his, and he doesn't want it." Yang Siwei stared at the computer and said without looking back.

I rely on! !
Li Yifeng's heart twitched, his eyelids twitched, and his blood pressure rose all of a sudden.

Are so many scripts unnecessary?
A violent thing!
It's really a drought, a drought, and a flood.

Brother, don't you just divide me up.

There are only two or three scripts on his side, and there is not a single protagonist. Yuan Hua is lucky, so he doesn't want all of them.

Seeing the quick-acting heart-rescuing pills on the table, Li Yifeng ate a few and poured a glass of water.

"call!!"

Take a few deep breaths, quickly calm down, and try not to let your eyes see the half-meter-high useless script.

"Are you okay?" Yuan Hua asked concerned.

"It's okay, it's okay." With his butt leaning against the desk, Li Yifeng turned his back to him.

Out of sight is out of sight, I don't want to look at the head office.

"It's done. Today is Saturday. I'll ask Finance to call you on Monday."

"Thank you, Sister Yang." Yang Siwei's voice came, and Li Yifeng couldn't wait to leave this sad place.

After a while, Yuan Hua held a script in his hand and read it for a long time, but Yang Siwei didn't say a word. Based on her understanding of Yuan Hua, as long as she showed this expression, she probably liked it.

Taking advantage of pouring water, she walked around behind Yuan Hua, took a sneak peek, and saw the name of the script clearly.

The sun is burning!

She had read this script a month ago, and the story was quite exciting, but the cast had not been decided, and the salary was not high. At that time, the producer made a big deal for her, saying that so-and-so would play the role.

As a result, after so long, I haven't heard the news that XX will play the role.

Not to mention the salary, when Yuan Hua didn't win Best Actor a month ago, she thought it was too low.

Seeing that Yuan Hua won the best actor, he knew that he couldn't afford it, so he never contacted her again.

After pouring a glass of water and putting it by Yuan Hua's hand, Yang Siwei closed the door silently and went out.

Before leaving get off work, Yang Siwei came in and found that Yuan Hua had put down the script and was lying comfortably on the sofa with his eyes closed.

Hearing the voice, Yuan Hua opened his eyes: "The sun is scorching, that's all. You contact the producer."

"Are there any requirements for remuneration?"

"Talk as much as you can, as much as you want, you can decide the medium scale, anyway, I want to act in this play, and you can help me ask who are the other actors."

The sun is burning, I have never seen this movie in my previous life.

I just saw it when I was watching the small video, and I knew that it was starring Deng Chao and Duan Yihong, and Deng Chao also won two movie stars through this movie.

One of the clips that impressed him the most was that there was a supporting actor in this play who talked about the motive and method of killing when he was interrogated by the police.

The shooting angle, the lines, the acting, all seem real.

It almost made him think it was a real murderer, it was a documentary.

"Okay." Yang Siwei understood that the show was a loser.

Even if the price could be increased, it wouldn't be much. She knew the bottom line over there.

"By the way, the director sent a letter later, do you want to read it?"

"where?"

"I'll look for it."

After a while of rummaging through the boxes, Yang Siwei found the letter and believed that she had read it. It was written by the director. It was nothing more than admiration for Yuan Hua's acting skills.

In her opinion, it's just that the salary is not enough, playing the emotional card, and tricking people into the group.

After reading the letter, Yuan Hua picked up the script and went out. Before leaving, he said, "In the future, for all the scripts you find me, you will convert them into electronic files and send them to my mailbox."

He didn't blame Yang Siwei for almost missing a good script.

The actor for this script has not been decided, the cost is average, the salary is not high, the director is not well-known but he is very old, in his 50s.

If he hadn't had two lifetimes of experience, he would have missed this script.

After returning home, Yuan Hua checked the information on the Internet for a few minutes, and then called Huang Lei.

"Ms. Huang, do you have the phone number of our school's Mr. Cao? Mr. Cao Baoping's."

"Got it, thank you, it's okay, he asked me to act, I just saw the script, I want to call and ask."

Yang Siwei's letter to him was written by the director and signed by Cao Baoping, which is exactly the same as the name of a certain Nortel teacher in this body's memory.

After returning home, he checked Cao Baoping's information on the Internet. He was indeed a director. If nothing else, it should be the same person.

Seeing the SMS number sent by Huang Lei, Yuan Hua dialed it.

"Hey!"

In Yanjing, Cao Baoping was at his desk writing some materials under the scorching sun, when suddenly the phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar call.

He thought it was some student looking for him, but he didn't care, so he picked it up casually.

At this time of year, many students ask him to revise their papers, which is normal.

"Mr. Cao, I'm Yuan Hua. I'm sorry to disturb you at night. I want to ask, are you the director of the scorching sun script?"

"It's me. Have you received the letter? How about it? Are you interested?"

It's been a long time since the script was handed over, and the producer said that the price couldn't be negotiated, so I can't afford it.Feeling very sorry, he wrote a letter with the idea of ​​trying.

I thought it was gone, but I didn't expect a reply today.

"Of course I'm interested. Mr. Cao, you're really serious. Just call me anytime. If the manager didn't tell you today, I would have almost missed you."

"Let's put one size at a time. If the script can't impress you, my old face is useless. Haha, how embarrassing."

Yuan Hua laments the simplicity of the older generation, and they are not willing to take shortcuts at all, unlike him, who go through the back door, solicit connections, and do everything.

Of course, it may also be the reason why the two are not familiar with each other.

"Ham, that's the reason. It's just that I'm busy with work, and many things are handled by my agent. Sometimes it's inevitable that there will be omissions."

"I know, you're a busy person right now."

"Is Teacher Cao busy, can you tell me about the scorching sun?"

"Okay, as long as you want to hear..."

The old and the young chatted for more than two hours, and finally hung up the phone suddenly over there. In a hurry, Yuan Hua heard Lao Cao say that he was in arrears.

"What are you talking about for so long?" In the kitchen, Jing Tian ordered a bowl of dumplings for Yuan Hua and brought them over.

She came back a long time ago and saw that Yuan Hua was talking on the phone without disturbing him.

"A play, written by the school's teacher Cao Baoping, wants me to act."

"It's him, then you're lucky, Mr. Cao is a frequent visitor to major film festivals, and he's very popular among the school teachers."

"is it?"

"Of course." Taking off his shoes, Jing Tian sat cross-legged next to Yuan Hua and fed him dumplings: "But you don't know that he is normal. He changed his career as a director after the millennium."

After ten years in the industry, Cao Baoping has directed a few plays, but because of the niche themes, he has little influence in China, and not many people know him.

"Then it's time to act. Do you want to come? I think there's a female lead here, who's quite old... wait, I'll answer the phone."

Without saying a word, Yang Siwei called, saying that the film salary had been negotiated, and the cast was also clarified.

There has been no reply for more than a month, and the male number one has been given to Duan Yihong, but if he is willing to go there, the male number one can be given to him.

"Is the number one female decided?"

"It's settled, your old acquaintance Wang Luodan."

Glancing at Jing Tian, ​​Yuan Hua said, "Can I change it?"

The corners of Yang Siwei's mouth twitched: "Brother, the four young actresses, who just won the Best Actress, are not good enough for you, are they?"

"That means you can't change it."

"What do you say?"

As soon as Yuan Hua hung up the phone, Jing Tian smiled and said, "What is the number one female, tell me."

"Didn't you hear everything?" Yuan Hua touched his nose in embarrassment.

The female number one is set, but Jing Tian is out of action.

This is a movie with a big male lead, and the lead actress doesn't have many roles. If Jing Tian can't play the lead role, it would be boring to play the second lead role.

"Then you can't be more accommodating?" Jing Tian pouted.

"Queen Luodan, I can't accommodate you."

Wang Luodan is upright at the peak of his career and has a great reputation. The circle of actresses is like a fish in water. If it were someone else, maybe the producer would sell him some face, but Wang Luodan would not.

Lying sideways on the sofa, Jing Tian's long black silk legs dangled on Yuan Hua's lap, and said with a smile, "Tell me, why can't you accommodate me?"

Yuan Hua: "..."

In the middle of the night, the two who were free chatted.

"I will be joining the group in a few days. There are three dramas this time, and I may not have time to rest this year."

"Okay, so you just played me."

"Hee hee, I just wanted to tease you, and you are also stupid. Do you think I am someone who is short of acting? I have three protagonists this time. Just wait. Next year I will win Best Actress."

"What's the name of the show?"

When Jing Tian mentioned the title of the play, Yuan Hua sighed. He knew that Jing Tian was going to die, and the trajectory was exactly the same as in the previous life.

After finally helping her up, she was about to fall down again, what a crime.

"Can you not act?"

"If you don't act, you support me."

"can."

"I don't. It's agreed that you eat soft rice."

……

Jing Tian joined the group earlier than Yuan Hua, and after sending her away, the scorching sun crew was formed not long after.

The project itself has been prepared for a long time, and the script alone took two years. If Yuan Hua doesn't come, it won't be long before it starts.

Two days in advance, Yuan Hua joined the group and met the female number one Wang Luodan, the male number three Guo Tao, and the director Cao Baoping.

After waiting for a whole day, he didn't see Duan Yihong. When he was having dinner with Wang Luodan at night, he asked, "Is Teacher Duan not here?"

This time he came to the scorching sun and scorching heart crew, he really wanted to meet this drama monster in the Chinese opera.

Duan Yihong is an old actor. After the [-]s, he took the exam three times before he was admitted to the Chinese opera, and he was in the same class as Xu Guangtou's wife.

After graduating, he entered the National Theater. He has been filming for more than ten years. There are not many works, and almost every one of them has won awards.

Not accepting endorsements, not appearing in variety shows, known as a play monster!

"He, I heard that he went to the police station to experience the role." Not wanting to talk about Duan Yihong, Wang Luodan said: "This time you are very good, the actor is added, and even snatched the role of Deng Chao."

"What the hell? Didn't this show find me first?"

"Yeah, it's not that you haven't replied all this time. They approached Deng Chao, who didn't dislike the low salary and were willing to act. They started talking, and finally you came."

Yuan Hua didn't expect such a thing: "So the Deng Dynasty is gone?"

"That's for sure. How could he compete with you? The producer ignored Deng Chao, who had a low salary, and chose you, who had a high salary."

Deng Chao became popular early, and became popular almost immediately after his debut, but compared with Yuan Hua, a popular fried chicken, there is still a long way to go.

Therefore, the producer would rather have the more expensive Yuan Hua than the cheaper Deng Chao.

"It's a sin, I really didn't know the producer was talking to Deng Chao."

The past two months have been very lively in the entertainment industry. Apart from the matter of him taking the Best Actor, there is also Tang Yan's lawsuit with Sugar Man, and Deng Chao announced his withdrawal from Huayi.

Without Huayi as a big backer, Deng Chao's film and television resources have fallen. This time, the low-cost talk is scorching hot, and it is estimated that there are not many good scripts.

Wang Luodan propped his chin and asked, "If you knew that Deng Chao was talking, would you have given up?"

"That can't be done. We have to talk about it. Everyone competes fairly."

Isn’t that how the entertainment industry is like this, there are more wolves but less flesh, everyone competes for the script according to their ability, if you are popular, you have the right to choose, if you are not popular, you deserve to be robbed.

One day, if someone robbed his script, Yuan Hua would have no complaints, and there is nothing to say about his skills being inferior to others.

"That's right." Wang Luodan gave a thumbs up: "I agree with your point of view, unlike Brother Xiao Ming, who is talking nonsense."

"What did he say?" Yuan Hua was curious.

After digging out the chat records in the group, Wang Luodan handed them over: "Look for yourself."

Huang Xiaoming: "Huazi, this wave is not kind. Chaozi's wife stole the best supporting actress role from his siblings, so you can't snatch Ren Chaozi's role."

Tong Dawei: "I agree, it's really not kind."

The two sang together and chatted for more than half an hour, full of arguing.

Scrolling down, Huang Xiaoming mentioned the matter of Hu Ge's restaurant, saying that the money had already been invested, and he would call everyone when the dividends were distributed.

On New Year's Eve, Jing Tian won more than 30 yuan. The money was invested in shares. Of course, Huang Xiaoming, who lost the most, paid the bill.

If it weren't for Huang Xiaoming's words, Yuan Hua would have almost forgotten about it, and Jing Tian didn't take it seriously afterwards. Unexpectedly, the restaurant has already quietly opened up.

Huang Xiaoming can deal with it, and he will pay if he loses.
