Entertainment News: Follow Wang Baoqiang's Rise to Film Emperor

Then...

Guan Hu hesitated for a couple of seconds, clutching the script in his hand, and looked at Lin Zhi, saying, "Ah Zhi... to be honest, your image and temperament don't match this film!"

"I want to cast some actors who look like complete losers in this film..."

"Your handsome appearance would seem out of place and fake in this film, you know that?"

When Lin Zhi heard what Director Guan Hu said, he knew that the other party was rejecting him, but it was just said in a "tactful" way.

But he was just asking casually, only wanting to try it out, and didn't have high hopes...

Therefore, even though he was ruthlessly rejected by Guan Hu, he didn't show any embarrassment, sadness, or discomfort; his expression remained unchanged.

then……

He shrugged and said casually, "Oh, alright then."

He stopped saying anything more or begging for attention and gave himself a chance to appear on screen.

There are too many things in this world that cannot be forced; the saying "a forced melon is not sweet" illustrates this point.

"Um, A-Zhi... I think this is good. If you want to act, I'll see if I can ask my friends to help you find audition opportunities. With your looks, I think playing the male lead or second male lead in a TV series wouldn't be a problem at all!"

Director Guan Hu also felt that it was too heartless to reject Lin Zhi's request so ruthlessly, so he quickly added this sentence.

However, there was a certain amount of politeness in what he said, and his tone was somewhat perfunctory.

Therefore, Lin Zhi listened but didn't take it seriously.

"Director Guan, does this guy's appearance fit your image of a loser?"

At this moment, the actor surnamed Gao, who had been playing with a sandbag on the balcony for a while, returned to the living room, covered in sweat, and said this to Guan Hu with a smile.

Clearly, he had overheard Guan Hu and Lin Zhi's conversation.

"Damn it, this script was tailor-made for you, don't you think?"

Guan Hu glanced sideways at the actor surnamed Gao and laughed and scolded.

"Director Guan, my good brother..." The actor surnamed Gao immediately smiled and deliberately used a high-pitched voice to say this in a coquettish tone like a woman. Then he sat down next to Guan Hu, hugged Guan Hu's neck affectionately, and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Guan Hu quickly reached out and groped the male actor surnamed Gao's crotch as a form of "retaliation".

The two grown men immediately burst into uncontrollable laughter.

But Lin Zhi, standing to the side, felt a chill run down his spine.

The two of them being so affectionate made me feel nauseous...

Damn, this is an eyesore!

Indeed, the men and women in the entertainment industry cannot be judged by ordinary standards; their sexual orientation is often a mystery!

Damn it, trash... Lin Zhi cursed inwardly.

He would never do something like that.

No wonder he's recently flopped; he can't even get a role, and all the connections he built up have inexplicably disappeared.

It seems... he still hasn't given enough!

or.

His competitors, who also wanted to get ahead, "paid too much" and took his place and spot!

He was passively eliminated from this industry!

Sigh, it's really quite difficult for an ordinary person like me to break into the entertainment industry on my own!

Lin Zhi's thoughts raced, and he instantly connected many things.

My heart was filled with countless emotions!

Guan Hu and the male actor surnamed Gao hugged and laughed for a while.

Guan Hu suddenly clapped the script in his hand and smiled, "My film is designed as a dual male lead story. Later, I need to find another young actor who looks like a loser, just like you... Sigh, but these kinds of actors are really hard to find; it's all about luck!"

Upon hearing this...

The actor surnamed Gao slapped his thigh and grinned, "Hey buddy, I can recommend someone to you, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

"Oh? Who is it? Do I know them?" Guan Hu immediately became interested.

"You haven't seen him. He's a childhood friend of mine named Huang Bo. He's currently singing and performing in nightclubs in Xi'an. He's incredibly ugly, even uglier than me. He looks like a loser..."

"Ha, but his family background is quite good. His father is a mid-level official in our area, and he's exceptionally smart and quick-witted. He learns everything instantly and grasps things immediately. If he were to film your movie, he would be absolutely perfect!"

The actor surnamed Gao patted his chest and made a guarantee.

"Okay, contact your childhood friend later and have him mail over two recent photos. I'll take a look. If he's a good fit, he can play the other male lead role in this script!"

Guan Hu immediately made the decision.

"No problem. I haven't contacted my friend for quite a while either. I'll call him when I get back and tell him about it... He'd definitely love to act in the film industry. It's so lucrative, and the money comes in so fast, don't you think?"

After the actor surnamed Gao finished speaking with a chuckle, the two ended the conversation.

Later...

Guan Hu patted the script in his hand, turned to look at Lin Zhi, who was glancing sideways at them, and said, "Ah Zhi... look, I'll give you 5 yuan for the scriptwriting fee. Buy this script, are you satisfied?"

In this day and age, a new screenwriter without any representative works usually earns between 8000 and 20000 yuan for writing a script.

Only established and highly renowned screenwriters can command fees ranging from 30,000 to several hundred thousand yuan for a single script, depending on their talent and reputation.

There is usually no fixed price.

It all depends on the situation!

Originally, given Guan Hu's limited funds, he would almost never have offered such a high screenwriting fee of 50,000. This is also the main reason why he couldn't find a suitable screenwriter to write the script before, and ultimately commissioned the newcomer Lin Zhi, whom he had just met, to write the script for him. It was because he didn't have much money and couldn't afford a high price...

However, at this moment, he first rejected Lin Zhi's small request to play a role in the script, and he himself really liked the script. Considering these two factors, the only way for him to take the script back from Lin Zhi without any surprises and without any difficulty was to sincerely give him the highest price he could accept.

If Lin Zhi was not satisfied with 50,000 yuan and wanted more, then he could only sigh helplessly and give up on buying the script "Get on the Bus, Let's Go," which he was extremely satisfied with and fond of...

Because offering 50,000 yuan was already his bottom line; asking for more would inevitably affect the normal filming of the rest of the video.

This is all because his funds are too tight, and he really can't afford to be extravagant. He has to be careful with every penny. Otherwise, even if he spends a lot of money to purchase the script, the film might be abandoned during the shooting process due to insufficient funds or a break in funding, or the entire project might be canceled.

therefore!

After Guan Hu sincerely quoted the price, he stared intently at Lin Zhi.

We await Lin Zhi's reply.

I prayed in my heart that Lin Zhi would be kinder and not too ruthless, otherwise I would be in a very awkward position...

So, will Lin Zhi agree to Director Guan Hu's offer?

Should we sell him the script for "Get on the Bus, Let's Go"?
