Chapter 152

When Jiang Ci and Lin Xingcheng went to the restaurant next door, both Shi Shaoxuan and Zhang Wu had expressions of knowing, especially Shi Shaoxuan was cheap, which made Lin Xingcheng a little embarrassed.

"Don't donate your eyes tomorrow."

Jiang Ci gave a cold snort and said lightly.

Shi Shaoxuan immediately covered his eyes and waved his hands: "Wrong, wrong, brother and sister-in-law please let me go."

Zhang Wu was gloating at the side.

Lin Xingcheng secretly tugged on Jiang Ci's sleeve, telling him not to fuss over this matter, and quickly peel it off.

Jiang Ci took Lin Xingcheng to a seat with a cold face, and the revolving dining table several meters wide was filled with plates of various shapes.

There are seafood sashimi, as well as soup cooked dishes, all kinds, all of which are relatively light.

Obviously prepared with care.

……

the other side.

Wan Lihong and two other assistant directors were talking about "Mirror Shadow" while drinking.

"Oh, there must be no problem with the funds. Isn't Xingxing already the big one? Besides, with Wan Dao here, I'm afraid we won't be able to get investment. I think we'll all follow the highest standards and make a big deal. "

"Next year's Spring Festival, with such a good schedule, isn't it easy to earn billions of dollars at the box office? By the way, I also won the best movie award, and Jiang Ci is definitely the best actor."

The two assistant directors drank a little wine and started blowing cannons with their faces as red as monkey butts.

Wan Lihong also drank a lot, but he was not delirious, so he only said:
"Xingxing has invested a lot of money, but the money is not inexhaustible like sea water. We still have to spend it well. After all, "Mirror Shadow" is a fantasy fairy tale, and the special effects must take the lion's share."

Special effects in fantasy movies are especially important, and this is where you can’t save money. Sometimes it’s not surprising that one minute of particle effects can cost millions or tens of millions.

"Then the special effects company should find the best in China, or directly find the big international game companies, and the effects will be full of all the fucking effects. When "Mirror Shadow" is broadcast, I don't believe that there are still people on the Internet who are clamoring that special effects can't be produced in China. blockbuster."

As he spoke, he became even more indignant, raised his hand and slapped the table excitedly, and the "snap" sound scared all the stars and actors in the box to their spirits, and they all raised their heads from eating.

The other assistant director also had a lot of emotion, holding a wine glass in his hand, he also began to vomit bitterness.

"You are right. Who do they look down on? How do outsiders understand the helplessness and powerlessness of us people? In fact, we can do what foreign countries can do. What kind of blockbuster do you want?"

"Sometimes when I think about it, the capital doesn't trust us or the market. If we stick to the rules, we have no choice but to shoot some love affairs. Sometimes it's really embarrassing."

Romance films, youth films, and idol dramas will be tiring if you shoot too many. There are other types of films, but there are few.

And now is the era when traffic is paramount. When making movies and TV series, there will either be traffic stars participating, or old actors and actresses.

The pay is high, and sometimes the results are mediocre.

If you don't invite traffic, you won't be able to attract enough investment, unless the director pays in advance, but where can you get tens of millions to advance.

I can't make up for it by selling blood.

Wan Lihong understands them very well. He is also someone who has experienced it. He is one of the lucky group of directors. He has made a name for himself in the film industry from the very beginning, and he has been able to get to where he is today step by step.

These two assistant directors are still shooting TV dramas most of the time. The market for TV dramas is much worse than that of movies. It basically revolves around the love between men and women, and there is not much room for them to develop.

In order to lure investors well, no matter how bad the script is, it has to be finished filming, otherwise the final payment will not be paid, and there are other messes, such as adding scenes, adding characters, etc. There are too many such things.

So Wan Lihong is very grateful that Jiang Ci took over Star Entertainment, which gave him a lot of freedom to play.

"Come on, wait until you reach a certain level, then you don't have to worry about these things."

Wan Lihong patted them on the shoulder and comforted them.

The assistant director flattered immediately: "So I'd better hang out with Director Wan, without worrying about funding, and even the actors can be chosen at will, how great it is."

This man was drunk and unrestrained, making Gu Weiliang who was sitting next to him turn slightly blue.

Since she became famous, she has never suffered from this kind of aggrieved. She has always been picky and picky. When she is reduced to being called "casual", her temper suddenly comes up.

However, no matter how angry she is, she still remembers the purpose of coming here this time, she must get the female number one of "Mirror Shadow".

Can't wait any longer, if you wait any longer, these people will be drunk, and they will get their answers tonight.

Gu Weiliang looked at Wan Lihong, restrained his temper, and slowed down his tone: "Wan Dao, I just watched the herb of "Mirror Shadow", and I admire the role of Xuan Xueyue very much. But not pedantic, daring to love and hate but not sticking to love, just now the audience likes this type."

Tonight, Wan Lihong also brought the screenwriter and the draft script, and handed out a copy after the actors came in, just for viewing.

This remarked to Wan Lihong's heart, he nodded and said: "I have discussed this role with the screenwriter more than ten times, carefully designed and polished it, although there are not many roles, but I will try my best to give her plumpness, at least she is the lead female."

Gu Weiliang nodded and said with a smile, "I can tell."

"Actually, I wanted you to play Xuan Xueyue from the very beginning, that's why I called you here." Wan Lihong cut to the point and didn't beat around the bush, "It's best if you have a schedule."

Before Jiang Ci left, he told him that he had no objection to the casting, and only wanted to serve the role, so Wan Lihong stopped practicing Tai Chi, and directly confronted Gu Weiliang.

As soon as Wan Lihong said this, the other people's hearts were more than half cold. Isn't this pure and let someone come and run with him?
Gu Weiliang was pleasantly surprised: "Of course there is, thanks to Director Wan for his love, even if Weiliang puts off other work, she still has to spare time."

The matter is a foregone conclusion, the other actors can only watch Gu Weiliang and Wan Lihong have a good time drinking and chatting, and their back teeth are about to be crushed.

Unexpectedly, after taking a sip of wine, Wan Lihong said to the crowd: "Don't worry, of course I didn't ask you to come here for nothing."

"Mirror Shadow" has a big world view and many characters. Wan Lihong's idea this time is very bold. He hopes to have an all-star lineup, and the number of special actors is planned to exceed double digits.

Being able to participate in a big production is a good opportunity for many actors to show their faces.

A little disappointment flashed in the eyes of He Meng who was sitting on the side.

The other characters didn't have much interaction with Jiang Ci, but at least being in the same crew as him was not a waste of money.

……

The clock in the hall on the first floor of Yuxiu points to nine o'clock.

He Meng and Gu Weiliang walked out of the elevator, He Meng pursed his lips, his face was expressionless, but Gu Weiliang was proud of the spring breeze, even the tips of his eyebrows were dancing.

"Congratulations to my sister, she won the No. [-] female lead in Director Wan's new movie. I watched it, and there are quite a few scenes."

Gu Weiliang was not in a hurry to leave, she turned her high heels and faced He Meng, deliberately congratulating her.

He Meng chuckled and looked back at her:
"Thank you, senior. I am indeed young and still have a lot to learn. My acting skills are also a little immature and I am not as mature as you. It is already unexpected that I can get the second female number tonight. After all, I am not very suitable. Xuan Xueyue's role."
