Huayu Entertainment: Who let him be the director!

Chapter 8 On board the pirate ship

Some experience and skills from previous lives played a very important role at this time.

It was obviously just an ordinary movie project, but with the wonderful PPT and corresponding rhetoric, it was packaged into gold.

It seems that the movie in front of Huang Bo is a major opportunity that comes only once in a century.

As long as you get on this train, you will be able to take off together.

Of course, Huang Bo is not a fool, and he will not be fooled by Zhou Qing with just a few words.

But to be honest, Huang Bo was really tempted.

He had actually realized that this film project was not a big project, it could even be said to be a very small project.

Especially since the director is so young, Huang Bo is more likely to question him to a certain extent.

After all, being a director is a skill gained through experience, which is acquired through years of practice.

Of course, this does not apply to those extremely gifted and talented directors.

But Huang Bo doesn't think that he is so lucky that he can easily meet that kind of director.

In Huang Bo's eyes, Zhou Qing's directing skills are highly questionable.

however!
Yes, there is a however.

However, no matter what, this is also a rare male protagonist.

Huang Bo has worked so hard in the industry for so long, but he can't even get a decent supporting role.

Even with Gao Hu's help, he can only play a supporting role.

Now there is a male protagonist who unexpectedly falls from the sky, so what is the need for a bicycle?

I am different from others, so I have no right to be picky.

No matter how bad this movie is, even if it flopped, it will still be an important part of my resume.

After all, there is definitely a difference between having played the leading male role and not having played the leading male role.

So Huang Bo, who appeared calm on the surface, actually already had a tendency in his heart.

It doesn’t matter if the script is a bit bad, as long as it’s not so bad that it can’t be seen as a pile of shit, you have to grab this opportunity!
"How do you feel, Huang Bo?"

Zhou Qing's voice sounded at this time, interrupting Huang Bo's thoughts.

Although his tone was questioning, Zhou Qing actually had some confidence.

During the entire presentation, he was secretly observing Huang Bo's reaction and adjusting his words and strategies accordingly.

Huang Bo had already entered Zhou Qing's rhythm without realizing it, but he himself didn't know it yet.

"It's very exciting. I was moved just by your introduction without even reading the script."

Huang Bo started by praising the person, but he just smiled and didn't rush to express his attitude.

He still has his last insistence: the script.

No matter how wonderful the preaching is, it is all empty talk. The key to whether the story is good or not still lies in the script.

Although Huang Bo has lowered his requirements enough, he still has to read the script.

"Director Zhou, would you mind letting me take a look at the script?"

So when he saw that the time was right, Huang Bo spoke to Zhou Qing in a serious tone.

Zhou Qing naturally couldn't refuse such a reasonable request.

He took out the script he had prepared long ago and handed it to Huang Bo.

Huang Bo greeted Zhou Qing and began to carefully read the script in his hands.

I didn't have much hope at first, but who would have thought that I would be immersed in it without realizing it.

He even forgot about the director sitting opposite him.

At this moment, all Huang Bo had in his eyes was the script in his hand and that simple yet thrilling story.

When he finished reading it in one breath and put down the document in his hand, he found that the tea in the cup had gone cold.

"Wonderful, so wonderful! This book is amazing!" Huang Bo seemed a little excited, even a little excited, and almost couldn't help slapping his thigh.

I just took a look without any expectation, but who would have thought I would find a treasure!

The screenwriter is such a genius to tell such a simple story in such a thrilling and gripping way.

If before this, Huang Bo still had a hint of hesitation in his heart.

Now, Huang Bo was really moved by the script.

Act, must act!
If you miss such a good book, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

"So, you are interested in playing the leading role?"

Zhou Qing picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, then glanced at Huang Bo with confidence.

"I don't think anyone can refuse such a good script."

Huang Bo nodded heavily. He was no longer reserved nor trying to play hard to get. He was determined to seize this opportunity.

"It seems that we can now move on to discussing the salary?"

Zhou Qing couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.

The most critical step has been taken, and the other steps that follow will surely come naturally without any problems.

"You can give me the remuneration as you see fit, or even not give me any."

Huang Bo pondered for a moment, then generously handed the decision-making power to Zhou Qing.

The main reason is that Huang Bo is still playing supporting roles and is not qualified to make an offer to others.

Of course not asking for any remuneration is just being polite, there is no way they would not give it.

"It's like this, Huang Bo. According to the industry practice, I can offer you a salary of 3,000 yuan. Of course, if you have any ideas, you can also bring them up and we can discuss it further."

Zhou Qing pondered for a moment and said this to Huang Bo.

Three thousand yuan may not seem like a lot, but it’s actually quite acceptable. This is the price that matches Huang Bo’s current “status”.

You should know that when Wang Baoqiang was filming "Blind Shaft", his salary was only two thousand.

"Three thousand is fine. That's fine by me."

Huang Bo agreed without much hesitation.

On the one hand, the price is reasonable and they didn’t rip me off.

On the other hand, for Huang Bo, the most important thing is the opportunity to play the leading actor, not to mention such a good script.

Everything else is not that important. Huang Bo is willing to act even if he is not paid.

"If there is no problem, let's sign the contract."

The two sides communicated about other issues and Zhou Qing took out the contract.

Now that things have come to this, signing the contract is a natural thing to do.

Huang Bo quickly went through the contract and found no problems, so he signed his name.

"Welcome to join us. Believe me, you will be grateful for your choice in the near future."

"Of course, I believe that, too."

Zhou Qing and Huang Bo tightly clasped the hands of friendship.

This matter is done.

"Keep the phone open. If nothing unexpected happens, it will be turned on in the near future."

"I'm always available."

After a few final greetings, Huang Bo tactfully stood up, said goodbye and left the conference hall.

He also took away a copy of the script, saying that he would go back and study it carefully, which made Zhou Qing even more pleased.

This actor is really reliable!
