"Old Qin, our protagonist may have to be replaced..."
In a room in a high-end community, Liu Xiaodu, the director of "Youth Without Regrets", was holding a cup of coffee in his hand and said to his partner a little helplessly.
"Replacement? Why? Did Hu Yuyong collapse or was poached by another crew?"
Qin Jinggang looked at Liu Xiaodu in confusion, with a very surprised look in his eyes.
"No, it's because he was controlled by his agent and he was not allowed to be distracted from making movies anymore!"
Liu Xiaodu slapped the table hatefully, his disappointment evident in his expression.
"Hey, it's a pity that Hu Yuyong can't come. Where can we find such a star who is addicted to acting and is willing to do it for free..."
Qin Jinggang also slapped his thigh and complained angrily.
The four million filming costs they had previously estimated were all included in the props, sets, costumes and equipment, as well as the salaries of some crew members and the meager salaries of several unknown acting graduates.
The biggest focus is Hu Yuyong, the most powerful newcomer from Xinghai Entertainment last year, especially because this person is particularly keen on filming movies and TV series, and he has some momentum to develop in movies, TV shows, and singing.
But it was completely different from his smooth development in the music industry. On the set, he seemed like a different person. He was addicted to food, always forgot his lyrics, and performed very poorly, which gave the director a headache. new
At the beginning, he had roles as the fourth and third male characters that he could guest star in. However, due to the above reasons, over time, no crew would invite him, so this new second-tier singer who was confident and ordinary (in terms of acting) was very It's uncomfortable.
But because of this, after the two of them sent out news about recruiting the protagonists of the new film through their connections in the entertainment industry, and it did not require particularly superb acting skills, Hu Yuyong, who got the news from nowhere, immediately contacted him.
At this time, the two of them also had no one to apply for the job because of the poor reputation of their previous film. So when Xiao Hu appeared in front of them, the two of them immediately realized that they had missed something!
And Hu Yuyong also felt the enthusiasm of Wolong Fengchu after being rejected by many crews. He shouted that Bole knows a thousand-mile horse, and immediately stated that he just wanted to experience the fun of acting, and he didn't need to be paid!
This time it was really a bastard looking at mung beans, the thunder from the sky stirred the fire on the earth, the two parties hit it off immediately, and the matter was finally concluded!
So later, the two of them had the confidence to say that they could film this drama with only four million.
Then they started preparing for the filming of the drama with great fanfare.
Unexpectedly, I received news from Xinghai Entertainment yesterday, urgently stopping Hu Yuyong’s joining!
Only then did Director Liu, who had not been educated by society, realize that Hu Yuyong had secretly contacted them without telling his agent, Quan Zhiqun!
Quan Zhiqun, who had been cheated by Xiao Hu's private filming before, naturally stopped the matter urgently, and the two men's plan came to nothing.
"What should I do? The leading actors are gone, and the selling point of joining the big names that I promised is gone. I'm very distressed!"
Director Liu kept scratching the back of his head and pulling his hair out with a bitter look on his face.
"Yes, if we were to find a new protagonist now, firstly, we would not have enough time, and secondly, we would not be able to control the price!"
The two looked at me distressedly, and I looked at you, like two rabbits looking at each other.
"or……"
After worrying for a long time, Director Liu suddenly raised his head and looked at Screenwriter Qin with bright eyes!
"You mean..."
Qin Jinggang also raised his head at the same time and looked at his old partner with whom he had a close connection.
"Yes, let's try inviting Jiang Kan to star? Anyway, this is a nostalgic-themed film, and if we cast Hu Yuyong as the protagonist, we have to play an old look for him. Jiang Kan is just the right age, and he doesn't even need to wear makeup to play a middle-aged man! "
"Yes, and to play a young man, you only need to put on a little makeup. His appearance is so tender that if you don't look carefully, you would think he is just a young man!
"
"It makes sense! You and I really have a good understanding of each other, haha. We immediately called him to invite him and asked him if he was willing to take on the leading role!"
"Yes, the worst thing is to give him more dividends. 10% should be fine, right? After all, our previous movies were so popular, with a yield of 1,500%! He will definitely agree immediately after hearing this. This is a good opportunity to become famous! "
"I reject!"
Ten minutes later, Jiang Kan said very seriously to Zhang Lingling, who was holding back a smirk.
"Hahahaha, I knew you would refuse, Brother Kan. This is too funny. These two people really think they are unparalleled film geniuses, and they even said they would use dividends in lieu of their salary..."
Zhang Lingling couldn't help laughing, and her hands holding the coffee cup were shaking slightly with laughter.
"Oh, just sing. I haven't even figured out my identity as a singer yet. I want to become an actor... isn't this not doing my job properly? That person, Hu Yuyong, wasn't it because he often went to theaters before that he became the new singer in December? Did you lose the championship on the championship list? Of course I will take this as a warning!"
Jiang Kan held the teacup in his hand and smiled helplessly.
He never expected that the other party would actually take an interest in him. He had never acted for a day and had not studied for a day of training. How could he possibly act well in a movie?
If by then the performance is not good, or if the film itself is a stretch, will I immediately become the target of public criticism, scolded and start wanting to run away before I even learn how to do it?
You have only been a singer for three months, but you already want to act and become a crossover singer?
Why don’t you be sprayed to death by the industry!
Even those fans that I finally accumulated will lose a lot because of this, right?
"As expected of a middle-aged man who has reached his prime, you see these problems very clearly."
Zhang Lingling nodded, very satisfied with Jiang Kan's choice. She was afraid that he would be confused by the results he had obtained before, so she enthusiastically agreed to the invitation of those two people.
Now it seems that my worries are completely unnecessary.
"So, this theme song?"
Zhang Lingling suddenly remembered something again and asked a little more seriously.
"It's up to them. If they continue filming, we will continue to provide the theme song."
Jiang Kan pondered for a while, then raised his head and said.
"If they don't film it, then of course... they'll just pretend it's not a thing. Anyway, it's impossible for me to star in any movie. If I do, it won't be now. I'm a singer and I haven't figured it out yet!"
"Then, I'm going to reject them?"
"Otherwise, let's leave it at that, but be a little more tactful when replying so as not to offend anyone."
"Of course, don't look at how many years I have been in the entertainment industry!"
The two of them had a good discussion and went back to their respective positions.
"Xiaodu, they refused..."
In this compartment, Qin Jinggang, who had just hung up the phone and looked constipated, turned his head and looked at his golden partner with a bitter look on his face.
"Ah? Refuse...they actually refused? No way, what did they say?"
Director Liu Xiaodu, who originally looked like he was confident of winning, broke his defense instantly. He no longer regained his composure and asked in surprise.
"Zhang Lingling said...Jiang Kan will be very busy during this period until the end of March, and it is really difficult to arrange the time. She also said that she would like to thank us for our kindness and will definitely continue our relationship in the future..."
Qin Jinggang spread his hands helplessly and sounded very lonely.
"Oh, why is it such an unlucky coincidence? You know that being able to participate in the sequel to our previous movie, which was a hit, is a big hit. How come he... couldn't seize such a good opportunity? well!"
The smug Director Liu rubbed his hands helplessly, rubbed his cold face with his red hands, and sighed with regret on his face.
"Yeah, what a great opportunity, he doesn't know how to cherish it... Then Xiaodu, let's contact other people?"
"Okay, let's ask again. I have a few more candidates. They are all newcomers who have become popular recently, like Wang Yuchang, Ling Buwei and so on!"
"They must be willing to accept our kindness, jump on this bandwagon, and start entering the film industry from now on!"
