The bard wanders into the entertainment circle

Chapter 131 The Blessing of the Challenge

You Xiaogang looked at the biography in his hand and listened to Chen Shuo's character analysis, feeling a little surprised.

He originally thought that even if Chen Shuo read it, he should just understand the script, but he didn't expect him to think so much.

Moreover, his understanding differs from his own setting of the character Fulin.

I mostly regard the relationship between Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E as the main line of these two characters.

However, Chen Shuo regards the struggle between Shunzhi, Dorgon, and Xiaozhuang as the main line, and regards the emotional line as the extension of this struggle.

He closed the notebook, pondered for a while and said: "You understand well, I can see that you have worked hard. But..."

"Director You, please tell me." Chen Shuo pretended to listen respectfully, and said, "I haven't studied scripts much during this time, so it's just that Director You gave me some pointers."

"Although our drama is advertised as a serious drama, it is also based on the requirements of a serious drama. But in fact, it is a drama that focuses more on emotional portrayal."

The style of a play is determined by the director. As a director, you must have a clear understanding of your own works, and you cannot have different styles before and after.

Otherwise, the whole show would appear chaotic.

When the crew was promoting, they could say all kinds of big words, but as the director, he couldn't really believe it.

Chen Shuo pondered for a while and asked: "That is to say, I understand the wrong direction?"

"It's not wrong, although we focus on the emotional aspect, we also have the struggle you mentioned and the court struggle you want to express.

It's just that it is more reflected in the generation of Xiaozhuang and Dorgon.

And Fulin and Bogor are more like the continuation and reflection of the struggle of their generation. "

"Okay, I understand." Chen Shuo nodded, and then began to ask You Xiaogang for his understanding of the character Fulin.

You Xiaogang's words are actually not difficult to understand. What he means is that this drama should still focus on Xiaozhuang and Dorgon.

The story of Emperor Shunzhi and Concubine Dong E is used to enrich the relationship between the two, mainly to serve as a foil.

"director!"

The two were talking, when a quiet voice sounded beside them.

Chen Shuo turned his head and saw a small girl with handsome features and black eyes standing not far away.

"Shu Chang is here." Seeing her happy face, You Xiaogang waved, "Come on, let me introduce you. This is the actor of Fulin, Chen Shuo."

Chen Shuo got up and watched her coming, nodded and said, "Hi, I'm Chen Shuo, playing the adult Fulin."

"Hi, I'm Shu Chang, the actor who plays Concubine Dong E."

Shu Chang walked over slowly, nodded to Chen Shuo, and said: "I know you, you are Zhu Yunwen who is very popular these days."

"No, you two will have a lot of scenes together in the future, so get acquainted as soon as possible." You Xiaogang put his hands together in the middle, expressing that he wants the two to get closer.

Then he said to Chen Shuo: "Chen Shuo, we will have a lot of opportunities to discuss characters and plots in the future, now you go and sign the contract first, and then decide on the look.

Just in time for today, let's take some makeup photos.

Time is tight, we will hold a launch press conference for this drama tomorrow, and the film will officially launch the day after tomorrow. "

"Okay, then you will be busy with you." Chen Shuo nodded to Shu Chang, then turned to look for Wu Qi.

When he was talking with You Xiaogang, Wu Qi had already discussed everything about the contract.

"There is nothing wrong with the contract, the main thing is the salary." Wu Qi took the contract and explained it to him one by one, then pointed to the part of the salary and said: "The crew signed you because of your current reputation.

As the saying goes, don't wait for the time, now I also raised your salary, 1 yuan per episode.

After all, your film is only a supporting role, and it is difficult to increase your salary.

There are 16 episodes of adult blessings, a total of 19. "

Chen Shuo didn't care too much about his worth, so Wu Qi and Shan Xiaolou naturally had to worry about it.

He did a rough calculation, and the nearly 20 yuan remuneration was deducted from the company's commission and personal tax.

In the end, I got about 4 yuan, which was less than a quarter of the total film salary, and this was the case when the company did not take a lot of money.

Although the remuneration of actors is high, the corresponding taxes and commissions are also high.

单次收入不超过2万缴20%，不超过5万缴30%，而超过5万往上就需要缴40%，甚至是更多。

This tax must be paid as long as a formal contract is signed. Failure to pay it is a crime.

The place where actors really make money is actually going to the cave, commercial performances and the like.

Such a single income is small, the tax rate is low, and some even give cash directly. No one knows how much is given without signing a contract, and there is no need to pay taxes at all.

The time required for a commercial performance is also short, ranging from a few hours to a day. After running for ten days and a half months, you can earn nearly one million yuan, and many of them end up in your hands.

During this period of time, Wu Qi took Yu Bo to many places. Although it was not as exaggerated as half a month's income of one million, there were still hundreds of thousands.

However, the contract of "Xiao Zhuang" crew was already very good for Chen Shuo, so he didn't have any objections, so he went directly to sign the contract with Wu Qi.

After signing the contract, a prompt appeared in front of his eyes:
"The character gets a performance challenge, Fulin from "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang".

Challenge rewards: 1000 career experience points, 1000 drama skill experience points.

Tip: The final result will be based on the final evaluation, and corresponding experience rewards will be obtained. "

The 15 episodes have more roles than Sang Qiuyu's, and the roles are not light.

After the contract was signed, Chen Shuo followed the guidance of a drama manager to set the makeup.

The most distinctive feature of Qing court dramas is the yin and yang head and long braids of the Qing Dynasty. In order to wear a wig, the head must be shaved.

Of course, if you don’t want to shave it all, then shave a real yin and yang head and then add braids.

But Chen Shuo doesn't have that preference. It's fine to wear a wig in the play, and it's not embarrassing enough for him to wear a yin and yang head.

Ever since he became acquainted with Yang Junyi and the others, seeing that they all had long hair, Chen Shuo gradually grew it, and after a year, it was as long as a shawl.

It was a bit inconvenient at first, but he got used to it slowly, and he was really reluctant to shave it all.

He twisted his hair and sighed: "It's a pity, I have had such long hair since last year."

The stylist picked up a lock of hair and asked, "Can I cut it?"

There is also a camera on the side carrying a video camera to record all this.

"Cut it off." Chen Shuo lowered his hand and covered it with a cloth to save stubble from falling on his body.

With a "click", a bunch of hair fell out, and then as if the ceremony was completed, the stylist directly picked up the clipper and began to push it.

After a while, a smooth, cow-like bald head appeared.

Chen Shuo looked at himself in the mirror, touched the smooth top of his head, and said, "From long hair to bald all of a sudden, this scalp is really chilly."
