"How about it?"
Seeing that Zhang Jing was sent back again, Zhang Chu asked quickly.
In the past, he never cared about other people's affairs. There were very few people he could care about. He didn't know why he was so concerned about Zhang Jing's affairs.
Zhang Jing shook her head. As soon as she entered, everyone's eyes were focused on her, and she was really panicked for a moment.
"I didn't ask anything. I went in and stayed for a while, and Director Yuan asked me to come out!"
That's it?
What's the meaning?
What Zhang Chu didn't know was that because of Zhang Jing, the atmosphere in the next room was particularly subtle at the moment.
"Director Yuan, Zheng Jiaxin is from Beijing Film Academy and has a lot of acting experience. This Zhang Jing is a junior college student in the directing department of China National Theater. She has never even acted. There is no comparison between the two."
Jin Demao noticed that Yuan Heping brought Zhang Jing here, clearly intending to give her the role of Lin Xian'er, but he had already said hello to Zheng Jiaxin.
Now that the character is gone, how will we meet again in the future?
Yuan Heping still smiled lightly: "Director Jin also graduated from Beijing Film Academy, right?"
Well……
One sentence directly blocked everything Jin Demao wanted to say later.
Then he frowned, looking unhappy.
"Does Director Yuan mean that I am showing favoritism?"
Yuan Heping waved his hand: "Director Jin, don't get me wrong. We are partners in this drama. If you misunderstand what I mean, it will be bad and there will be conflicts. It will also be difficult for the investors to explain it. What do you think?"
Facing Shangyuan Heping's gaze, Jin Demao also felt a little guilty. He really wanted to take care of Jingying's school girl, but he really had no other intentions.
I am simply here to support the juniors as the president of the university.
This is also the tradition of Beijing Film Academy.
Every school anniversary, these young graduates will be repeatedly reminded by the school leaders and teachers to help their junior students if there is an opportunity.
This time there was an opportunity. As the casting director and executive director of the "Little Lee Flying Knife" crew, Jin Demoo had to arrange for one or two juniors to play roles in the cast. It was not difficult.
So, he went back to school, found teacher Cui Xinqin, and finally selected Zheng Jiaxin from among the students in the 96-level acting class.
In order not to be misunderstood, he specially organized an open casting call with Cui Chenggong and asked Zheng Jiaxin to participate.
With his help, Cui Chenggong would naturally not be embarrassed by such trivial matters.
Therefore, it was logical that Zheng Jiaxin became Lin Xianer's only candidate, and the others were all accompanying her.
But now that Yuan Heping raised it in front of so many people, Jin Demao was still embarrassed.
"I think Zhang Jing is very good. Her image is not inferior to that of Zheng Jiaxin, and her temperament is also outstanding. I think... let's just cast her. As for Zheng Jiaxin, there should be many undecided roles that can be arranged for her. play."
Yuan Heping had said all that, what else could Jin Demao say.
The choice of Lin Xianer was thus decided.
But there are no important roles left. The two heroines, Sun Xiaohong and Lin Shiyin, have been decided. One is Jia Jingwen designated by the investor, and the other is Xiao Qiang, the most beautiful woman in the treasure island.
Jin Demao now has a headache. He should have known better than to talk so confidently. Now that he has missed the point, how should he explain it to Teacher Cui Xinqin?
When Zhang Chu and Zhang Jing met Yuan Heping again, they had two contracts in front of them.
"Master Zhang, and this...Miss Zhang, if you are satisfied with the details of the contract, please sign it!"
Actor's contract matters were not under Yuan Heping's control, but this time he made an exception. As long as he didn't see Zhang Chu signing the contract with his own eyes, he felt uneasy.
Yuan Heping firmly believes that with Zhang Chu's appearance and outstanding kung fu, he definitely has a bright future. He might really be able to become the second Bruce Lee with a pair of fists.
By then, as Zhang Chu's Bole, he will definitely gain both fame and fortune.
Yuan Heping no longer cares much about the word "profit". When he reaches his position, what he cares about most is fame.
Zhang Chu picked up the contract and flipped through it casually, skipping the rest. His focus was only on the remuneration.
When filming "My Fair Princess" before, Zhang Chu's salary was 2,500 yuan per episode, but that was his first drama, and as a newcomer, the salary was naturally not high.
Moreover, I heard Fan Bingbing say that the old woman Qiong Yao was very picky about money.
Now that you've filmed a movie, you can't be considered a newcomer, right?
Furthermore, he plays the second male lead in this drama. For such an important role, his salary should be increased a bit.
10000!
Zhang Chu counted the zeros again and determined that it was 10,000 yuan per episode.
"Director Yuan, how many episodes does this drama have?"
Yuan Heping said nothing, and someone standing aside replied: "The script has just been completed, and it is tentatively scheduled for 40 episodes."
40 episodes, if one episode costs 10,000 yuan...
400000!
Zhang Chu's eyes widened instantly.
Of course, it is possible that it may not reach this much. Liping explained to Zhang Chu that actors' remuneration is calculated based on a single episode, and the specific amount they can get depends on the proportion of starring roles.
Xiao Jian, who was played by Zhang Chu before, appeared in a total of 22 episodes, plus some scattered scenes, and finally received a salary of 56,000.
Although Ah Fei is the second male lead, he does not appear in every episode.
Sure enough, it is also stated below that the final salary is 320,000, and the specific settlement amount depends on the filming situation.
Maybe as you continue to act, you will become the protagonist!
It is tentatively planned to have 40 episodes now, and maybe it will be 80 episodes as the filming progresses.
But even if you can only get 320,000 in the end, that’s still amazing!
Zhang Chu still remembers the first time he acted as an ensemble cast in a play where the male lead, Mr. Rabbit, was paid 170,000 to 80,000 yuan.
It almost doubled all of a sudden.
Speaking of which, do you think you are a big star?
What Zhang Chu didn't know was that the reason why he was able to get such a high salary was entirely due to Yuan Heping and investors fighting for it. Originally, this price was used to hire Wu Jing.
Now that he is an unknown actor, investors are naturally unwilling to pay such a high salary.
But Yuan Heping insisted on giving.
Yuan Heping's idea is also very simple. He doesn't want Zhang Chu to be called a black-hearted businessman who only exploits actors when he mentions the experience of working together with reporters after he becomes famous. Because the remuneration is too low. .
In addition, Yuan Heping also invested part of the money in this drama.
Otherwise, for Zhang Chu, who is not even considered a top-notch celebrity, a maximum of 4,000 per episode would be considered the ceiling.
There was no problem with the price. Zhang Chu directly put his name on the contract, which shocked Zhang Jing, who was still studying the terms of the contract.
Zhang Jing was overjoyed to get this role, but she didn't dare to take it lightly when it came to the contract.
She has heard of many cases where actors were cheated by the crew because they were so eager to become famous that they did not even read the contract carefully.
But Zhang Chu had already signed the contract, so she would be a little embarrassed if she was still dawdling.
He quickly turned to the most critical page, determined the number, and signed his name on the contract.
Zhang Jing?
It seems too ordinary.
Do you want to change your name?
Zhang Jing couldn't help but feel excited when this thought suddenly occurred to her.
Growing up, she didn't like her own name, just like the "Shu Zhen Feng Fang" of her mother's generation. Girls of her age have too many names like Mei, Li, Na, and so on. This "quiet" inside.
Every time when the teacher calls roll in class, if he just calls out the word "quiet", a lot of people in the class will stand up.
Change, must change!
But what to call it?
Zhang Jing was still thinking about her name, while Zhang Chu was already shaking hands with Yuan Heping and wishing them "a happy cooperation."
This drama will not start filming until next year, so there is still a long time to prepare.
The prepaid remuneration will be credited to Zhang Chu's card today. After taking the script, Zhang Chu declined Yuan Heping's invitation to have dinner together and left the hotel with Zhang Jing.
Standing at the door of the hotel, Zhang Jing still couldn't believe this was true. Ever since she arrived in Beijing in 1995, she had been looking for opportunities to become an actress.
After hitting the wall countless times, including failing the art exam, she persisted for more than three years. Unexpectedly, the opportunity really fell on her one day.
"Zhang Chu, I..."
"If you want to say 'thank you', then you don't have to. It's really boring to thank you back and forth like this."
Thinking that he was about to earn 100,000 yuan and his personal assets exceeded six figures for the first time, Zhang Chu couldn't resist the urge to spend a lot of money.
It's a pity that there is still a little less, otherwise, everyone would have to buy a house.
In the past, I didn't own any property because I lived a life of knife-tip licking blood all year round, and I didn't know if I would meet a master like Obai again one day and he would die in the wilderness.
Even if we purchase more properties, we still don’t know who will benefit in the end.
He himself had nothing to worry about, so he was naturally happy to live a life of drinking now and getting drunk the next.
Things are different now. In the peaceful and prosperous times, Zhang Chu also wanted to live a stable life.
"Let's go, such a good thing must be celebrated today!"
The only pity is that Zhang Jing doesn't seem to drink, unlike Tang Wei, who can still be a drinking partner even if they are not together.
On the other side, only Yuan Heping and his younger brother Yuan Xiangren, the successor of Tathagata Palm, were left in the suite at the moment.
"Second brother, you really think so highly of that young boy."
Yuan Heping was still watching the video of the martial arts competition on the rooftop of the hotel. He thought that no matter how good Zhang Chu's kung fu was, it would not be easy to defeat Gu Xuanzhao. Who would have thought that with one punch, one palm, and With one kick, a master like Gu Xuanzhao was easily defeated.
"Aren, have you ever seen anyone more powerful than him?"
Yuan Xiangren shook his head without even thinking about it.
"I'm afraid Bruce Lee at his peak didn't have such good kung fu. Moreover, Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do was said to be inherited from Wing Chun, but in fact it still favored Western boxing. Zhang Chu was different. He learned traditional martial arts."
"Yes, I value him. In addition to his real kung fu, more importantly, he is the inheritor of traditional martial arts. In this regard, neither Bruce Lee, Cheng Long, nor Danny Tsai can compare with him."
"But, second brother, have you ever thought about it, if Zhang Chu and Jiao Enjun stand together, can Jiao Enjun suppress Zhang Chu in terms of aura?"
Yuan Heping frowned when he heard this. He really hadn't thought about this question. Jiao Enjun was the leading actor in this drama, the actor who played Li Xunhuan, Little Li Feidao.
Ah Fei is just a supporting character after all. If the supporting character's aura overwhelms the protagonist, should the name of this drama be changed? ?
Just call it...
Xiao Li Fei Dao’s friend Ah Fei!
