In the hotel, before it got dark, Chen Mo was already lying on the bed and fast asleep.
Mainly in the afternoon, he was negotiating with those old foxes like Mao Lixin. I don't know how many brain cells he had burned to death. He was so exhausted that for a moment he didn't even want to start a company.
Fortunately, he did not suffer a loss in the end, and "Snow Leopard" was sold for a good buyout price.
In Yanguo's script market, the average TV drama script written by a bronze screenwriter is about 50,000-100,000 per episode, while a silver screenwriter can earn 200,000-300,000 per episode, and a gold medal screenwriter can cost 600,000-800,000 per episode.
As for the screenwriters above the gold medal screenwriter, they basically started with one million episodes.
Mao Lixin finally gave the unit price of "Snow Leopard" at 750,000 per episode. It is estimated that the plot of 40 episodes will cost a total of 30 million, which can be regarded as the price of a script created by a top gold medal screenwriter.
The main reason is that this is Chen Mo's first time writing a script, and he is not well-known enough, otherwise the price will be higher.
That afternoon, after signing the contract, Lingyun Video transferred the buyout fee to Xingluo Entertainment's corporate account. Chen Mo also notified Leng Bingbing immediately and asked her to handle the sharing accounts and tax issues in accordance with the contract.
As a result, the company's account has more than 20 million in funds. Although it is not enough for the company to start a large project, there is no problem with the basic operation.
"Hey, who is disturbing people's dreams so early in the morning?"
"Boss, what time is it? You are still sleeping. Our audition is almost over!" Li Mingzhu's voice came from the other end of the phone. Chen Mo suddenly woke up and sat up straight.
Looking at the time, he never expected that he had slept for 16 hours and it was already 10 am.
"Xiao Zhu, where are you now? I'll go find you right now!" Putting the phone away and throwing it on the bed, Chen Mo quickly put on his clothes and pants.
After getting the location for the audition, he spent another three minutes washing up and then rushed out of the room like a gust of wind.
By the time he arrived at the audition place, it was already 11 a.m., and everyone except Shen Qingrou had already finished their auditions.
Unexpectedly, Ding Yuesheng and Liu Xiaowei were not able to choose the roles, but Wang Defa was so lucky that he actually got the role of the third male lead.
Wei Qingyi is not bad either. As a complete newcomer, she got the role of the female lead's personal maid.
As for Chen Sijie, although he still lacked facial expressions, he passed the audition of a mid-term villain with his emotional voice.
"Xiaozhu, how is the situation now?"
"Boss Chen, you are finally here. Sister Qingrou's first audition has ended!" Li Mingzhu sighed. If the boss is so easy to do, she also wants to be the boss.
Chen Mo was stunned: "The first part of the audition, does that mean there is a second part?"
"Well, originally Sister Qingrou chose to audition for the role of the second female lead. However, after the audition, the director and screenwriter felt that Sister Qingrou was more suitable for the female lead, so they asked her to audition for the female lead role again."
"That's it, then let's just wait for Qingrou's performance!"
Chen Mo nodded and sat down, then looked at Ding Yuesheng and Liu Xiaowei who were sitting behind him: "Ding Tianwang, didn't he just fail to pass the audition? It's not like that, I still have the script in my hand, at the latest After the Spring Festival, our company will start a script, will it be possible without you?"
"The same goes for you, Xiaowei. There is no need to be discouraged. Study your acting skills carefully. One day you will be cast in the role."
After comforting the two of them, Chen Mo turned around. At this time, Shen Qingrou's second audition began.
The heroine's identity is a subjugated princess, who is burdened with the heavy responsibility of restoring the country. After successfully studying under the teacher, she gradually gets closer to the government and the public as a heroine of the rivers and lakes... Shen Qingrou appears in a smart outfit, full of the atmosphere of the rivers and lakes, but carefully If you observe, you will find that there is a trace of resentment in her eyes that cannot be resolved.
In the ten-minute scene, she vividly displayed the temperament of a subjugated princess and a heroic heroine, which made the directors, screenwriters and others below see her shine.
"Ms. Shen, whether it is the first female lead or the second female lead, you have performed wonderfully and are very suitable. Therefore, after our discussion just now, the choice is handed over to you, and it is up to you to decide. Playing the lead female role or playing the second female lead!"
Fang Yan's words made Shen Qingrou startled, while Wei Qingyi and others were filled with envy.
As for why the former and others gave such a result, firstly, because Shen Qingrou's acting skills were highly recognized by them, and secondly because of her status as the daughter of the Shen family in Yancheng, she should be given some face.
After a few minutes, Shen Qingrou gave her choice - the female lead.
The reason why she chose the role of the second female lead before was not because she didn't like the role of the lead female lead, nor was it because of her modesty, but because of Chen Mo.
The reason why they were able to audition in advance was because there was a verbal agreement between Lingyun Video and Xingluo Entertainment.
Although she believed that Chen Mo could make Xingluo Entertainment bigger and stronger, the current situation was the reality. A feeling of ignorance.
But since the other party took the initiative to ask her to audition for the female lead, how could she let go of this opportunity?
After getting the result, Fang Yan and others were not surprised. It is human nature. Which actor would let the protagonist's role slip away from him? If he didn't choose it, they would be surprised.
Chen Mo and others were very happy when they heard Shen Qingrou's choice. It is not easy to get a female lead with a big IP.
Only Li Mingzhu had a sad look on her face: "It's over, it's over. Sister Qingrou has chosen the female lead, so her first kiss on screen can't be saved."
Now that she is an agent, she naturally needs to understand the plot of the script. There is a kiss scene between the female lead and the male lead in "Mountains and Rivers Love Song".
"First kiss on screen?"
After hearing Li Mingzhu's words, Chen Mo remembered that Shen Qingrou had acted in many roles before, but she had never had a kissing scene. Why would she choose a role with a kissing scene this time?
Just when he was confused, Li Mingzhu shook his arm: "Boss, how about you run for the male lead?"
Seeing the expectation in the former's eyes, Chen Mo shook his head: "I understand what you mean, but...but I can definitely borrow my seat for the kissing scene."
"What if the director doesn't allow it? What a stunt for the once-all-powerful little diva of domestic entertainment to have her first kiss on screen!"
Chen Mo still shook his head and smiled: "Don't forget your sister Qingrou's other identity, the daughter of the Shen family in Yancheng. Who dares to force her to do something she doesn't want to do?"
"You...you are a bastard, this is Xiangjiang! Besides, have you ever seen Sister Qingrou using the power of the Shen family?"
Li Mingzhu was so angry that she cursed directly. At this time, she didn't care whether the person in front of her was her boss or not. She cursed first.
After scolding, she suddenly became quiet and stared at Chen Mo.
After a while, he asked: "Brother Chen Mo, let's not discuss whether the crew will ask Shen Qingrou for a real kiss. If we can't use the filming location, would you like to see a strange man kiss your daughter's mother?"
"What's wrong with this? It's a gentle job. How could I..."
At this point, Chen Mo found that he couldn't say anything anymore, and a voice suddenly emerged from the bottom of his heart: Other men must not be allowed to have close contact with the child's mother!
Seeing the expression on his face, Li Mingzhu smiled proudly: Pretend, let me see how you can keep pretending!
At this time, all the auditions had results, so Fang Yan and others also decided to withdraw. The contract signing was not their responsibility and was left to Mao Lixin and others.
As the number one CP fan of Chen Mo and Shen Qingrou, Li Mingzhu could not hold back and rushed forward in three steps at a time.
"Wait a minute, Director Fang, the audition isn't over yet, why are you canceling it?"
"I remember that you are Miss Shen's agent. Her role has been decided?" Fang Yan looked at the former with some confusion, not knowing what the other party was going to do.
Li Mingzhu smiled slightly and pointed at Chen Mo, who was still sitting blankly: "I am not only Sister Qingrou's agent, but also Chen Mo's agent. He also has to audition."
"Mr. Chen? Does he still have talent in acting?"
When they heard it was Chen Mo, Fang Yan and others were a little confused. They hadn't heard of it!
At this time, Shen Qingrou walked off the stage and said something, which made Fang Yan and others even more stunned. They all sighed in their hearts: What a monster!
(To be continued!)
