Diamond company shoots commercials, you shoot Titanic

The audition clip was only one and a half minutes long, and including the time for talking and discussing before and after, it took five minutes for each person.

After 20 minutes, the audition of the five leading candidates was over.

Beside the long table, seven crew members sat in a row.

In the middle, Chen Xiao rubbed his eyebrows.

"In terms of acting skills, the last four can be directly excluded. They can't be brought up."

In Yan He's words, both martial arts and acting skills are lacking. If you work hard to teach them, they can barely do it.

But I always feel that he is a bit impetuous.

Kuang Shaoyi frowned and said, "Director Chen, you are such a good actor, why don't you play the leading role yourself? Although your martial arts skills are a little weak, it's okay, I will teach you well!"

Sun Li echoed, "I think it's okay, but you don't look mature enough. Go out and get some sun, grow a beard for a few days, and it will definitely be okay."

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "I have to build a company next month, and I have to find a senior management team. There is not enough time."

Now, many domestic and foreign film and television companies are eyeing him and the company he is about to establish.

Domestic companies are okay. Everyone knows that he is backed by the Ministry of Culture, so they dare not do anything to him. But I am afraid of foreign companies.

So he wants to find a trustworthy person to serve as an executive to prevent problems, such as the leakage of ideas and financial problems.

Unless the senior management team can be settled, he will not take on more work.

People have limited energy and time. No matter how much work they do, they cannot guarantee the quality.

Kuang Shaoyi was surprised and said, "You're still going to set up a company next month? Then the chief director..."

Sun Li looked at Kuang Shaoyi and smiled and said, "It's okay, don't worry about the quality. When Director Chen was filming "Interstellar", he was the chief director and did the soundtrack and post-production. Young people have good physical strength. However, Director Chen's physical strength is indeed better than that of ordinary young people."

Kuang Shaoyi raised his eyebrows, was shocked, and looked at Chen Xiao carefully.

Such good physical strength and energy?

Is Director Chen a martial arts genius like the protagonist?

Sun Li glanced at Chen Xiao and saw that he was not very satisfied with Yan He.

But it is indeed difficult to find an actor with good acting skills and martial arts.

Sun Li tentatively said, "Why don't we ask about Yan He's schedule and contract first? We'll keep it as a backup and look for someone else at the same time."

Chen Xiao nodded, "Okay."

...

"Duo Shao?"

Fang Rong spit out a mouthful of water and blurted out a question.

Next to him, a row of directors and martial arts instructors, including Chen Xiao, were all in disbelief.

Yan He repeated, "40 million. This is my lowest price ever. I am really sincere."

Fang Rong slowly screwed on the mineral water bottle and wiped his mouth.

"Do you still need actors for idol dramas? If you still need people, Director Chen, I don't want to do it anymore. I want to make idol dramas."

The words were a joke, but the surprise was a real experience.

He has always made serious dramas.

Although I have heard that traffic stars have extremely high pay, I always think it is a rumor. Hearing the number of 40 million with my own ears is really shocking.

He had previously made an anti-Japanese war film, inviting a national first-class actor to play the leading role, and broadcasting it on the TV drama channel. That was a TV series that every family watched.

The leading actor got 200,000 per episode, and he got 8 million for acting in a TV series.

This is not him lowering the price, it is definitely not low in the serious film industry. Some only pay 100,000 per episode.

Yan He, he asked for 40 million right away?

The total budget for their actors was only 30 million, and he wanted 40 million for himself?

Is he crazy?

The agent saw the shock of the directors and explained: "Don't get me wrong. We didn't ask for too much. For example, last year, Mr. Yan He starred in a TV series, which was an idol drama. The preparation and shooting took a total of three months, and the salary was 80 million. This time, it also took three months, and there were fight scenes that might cause injuries, so the requirements were higher. But we cut the salary in half, which really showed our sincerity."

Sun Li's face was also a little ugly.

He invited the person here, and the reference data he found was the quotation of Yan He's role in a fight movie three years ago. I didn't expect the quotation to increase so much in the past two years.

He frowned and said:

"Movies and TV series are different. Let me explain it to you."

"TV series are ToB attributes, which means they are aimed at enterprises. The film purchasing director or website executives in the industry decide the purchase price of TV series. They pay great attention to stars when purchasing, and the revenue of the producers is less affected by the market."

"Movies are ToC, aimed at the audience, and the audience's ticket purchase determines the revenue. So in most cases, the film industry pays

It's generally lower, in the range of 1/20 to 1/5 of a TV series."

"The reason why people are willing to take a lower salary to act in movies is that it can enhance your international status. If you act in a movie, many international brands will ask you to be their spokesperson."

Sun Li said a lot, thinking that he could persuade him to lower the price to the million level.

Result...

Yan He fiddled with the ring on his hand and glanced up at Sun Li.

"Then I choose the profit-sharing model. How about 3% of the producer's profit?"

Hearing this, several directors were shocked again.

Is this kid crazy?

Who does he think he is? How irreplaceable is he that he wants the producer to share the profit?

Chen Xiao closed the information in his hand and directly ordered him to leave.

"Our temple is small and can't accommodate a big Buddha like you. We will choose someone else. Thank you for your trip. "

If he can perform at the level of Stephen Chow, let alone 3%, even 30%, or even double it, 60% of the producer's profit, he can give it.

But this Yan He, it takes a lot of effort to teach. And he wants a 3% share.

Isn't this just spending money to find a job for yourself? Do you think he is mentally ill?

Seeing Yan He motionless and looking ugly, Chen Xiao was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Picked up the information and stood up, looking at Sun Li, "Teacher Sun, please look for it again to see if there is a suitable actor."

"Okay."

After speaking, Chen Xiao took the information and left the audition room directly and walked towards the lounge.

Other directors also left the audition room.

Fang Rong took two quick steps and caught up with Chen Xiao.

"Let's continue to look for people, don't be angry with him, you have just entered the industry, you don't know much, some people are just here to make money, they don't care about reputation. ”

The online criticism has long been heard by the stars.

But some people’s goal is to make money, and enjoy themselves after making money. As long as they are not banned, nothing else matters.

It’s just a matter between fans and passers-by.

As Sun Li said, the revenue of TV series is less affected by the market. As long as the stars have fans, they can make money anyway.

Chen Xiao sighed lightly, forced a smile and smiled at Fang Rong.

“Director Fang, can you stop nagging like Tang Seng? I’m not angry, I’m just looking at the information of the heroine.”

…

Yan He and his group also left the villa.

Walking on the stone road, the agent snorted coldly.

“Where can they find someone more suitable than you? Don’t worry, Chen Xiao is not short of money, and he will definitely find you with money in the end!”

The assistant echoed: “Well, it’s true. You can’t teach a martial arts student to play a gangster, right?”

The group walked out of the villa area along the path, and a large group of reporters surrounded them as soon as they arrived at the door.

“Teacher Yan, have you been selected? ”

“Excuse me, who are you going to choose the male lead today?”

“Have you decided on your salary?”

…

Yan He wore sunglasses, snorted and chuckled, but didn’t say anything.

The agent smiled and said:

“There are five candidates in total, and we performed the best overall, so we talked a little more later, and we are also the best among the first batch of candidates.”

“Unfortunately, Director Chen has a high standard. There is no plan to cooperate for the time being.”

“But we believe that he will definitely find a more suitable one. If there is no more suitable one, we are willing to cooperate.”

This statement first raised Yan He’s status, saying that he performed well overall.

But it didn’t make it final, leaving a way out for cooperation.

However, Yan He didn’t wait for the agent to finish speaking, and walked towards the parking lot.

Leaving a group of reporters looking at each other, quickly doing reading comprehension in their minds.

Five minutes later, the media, which acted quickly, directly issued a short news.

“The male lead of Chen Xiao’s new film is suspected to have failed in casting, and intends to cast again!”
