I really don't want to be a star

On March [-]th, the country's official agency for artist statistics officially prepared to release last year's Chinese artist rankings.

The ranking of each artist on this list is the final overall ranking obtained by weighing all aspects of its artistic value, commercial value and influence.

The domestic artists are divided into several lists such as super first-tier, first-tier, and second-tier.

Among them, there are several sub-lists such as singers, actors, male stars, and influence.

It is an overall reflection of the value of a star. Generally speaking, the stars who can reach the top are at least actors or singers who have worked in the industry for more than ten years and have several hit works of their own.

According to the current popularity of this organization, there will be some changes in the list of more than 200 first-line artists every year, but as super-first-line artists, there are basically only a few of them, which will never exceed ten fingers, almost unchanged.

There are a total of seven or eight artists in the super-first line. They represent the benchmarks of Chinese artists. They have at least a few decades of influence, and they have left a deep impression on the hearts of the people and made recognized achievements.

Otherwise, it is impossible to enter this list.

And this celebrity ranking can be regarded as a great prosperity in the entertainment industry. It can be said that the ranking on the top is directly related to one's own resources and earning speed in the next year.

Nine in the morning.

On the official website, countless celebrities pay attention to the above interface, with their hearts hanging high. Every number above can explain whether their road will be bumpy or not, and it is also an overall verification of the work of the previous year.

Quite a few celebrities trembled nervously. They are normally aloof, but after all, they are just ordinary people, and their pursuit of fame and fortune is even a little bit more serious than ordinary people.

After all, the entertainment industry is a colosseum of fame and fortune. After each star debuts, he becomes a beast in this forest, and he can only continue to squeeze his peers and climb up.

If it is abandoned by the power behind it, a star will soon disappear completely from the public.

This is absolutely impossible for all stars to tolerate. After enjoying a luxurious life, no one will be willing to become cannon fodder.

But Su Zijin didn't care at all, and was waiting for someone in the teahouse.

Juxian Building, in Ziwei Pavilion.

Su Zijin was tasting tea. The private room was antique and full of wooden structures. Dragons and phoenixes were carved on the pillars, and the screens were painted by professional painters.

On the table made of sandalwood, gold-plated incense is spreading the fragrance. In the corner of the room, a little girl in Hanfu sits cross-legged in front of the zither, playing the zither and singing in a low voice.

Today, Su Zijin came here to prepare for the director and screenwriter of the TV series. At the end of last year, Su Zijin found a fairly good script early on. After the company's risk assessment and several resolutions, the project was approved .

Today is mainly to discuss other details. As the host, Su Zijin naturally came to the clubhouse early.

I ordered two pots of tea and a few plates of pastries, and the price was as high as five thousand dollars.

Su Zijin took the Tieguanyin brewed by the tea master himself. On the dark red teacup, a few pieces of tea leaves floated on it. The tea leaves were light green, slightly snug to the nose, and a light tea fragrance wafted over his face.

After a small sip, you can feel the fragrance of tea lingering between your lips and teeth.

Within a few minutes, today's director and screenwriter came to the room, led by a Hanfu servant, and opened the wooden door. The servant bowed and stretched out his hand, closing the door.

"Hello, Mr. Su."

There were two people in front of me, one tall and one short, one fat and the other thin, a little fatter, but the tall and burly one was called Chen Xiu, and the thin and short one with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks was Wen Hui.

The two of them co-created this script, and solemnly stated on it that they hope that this TV series will allow them to co-direct this movie.

"Please sit down!"

Su Zijin saw that the two were a little cautious, and Wen Hui was quite shrewd, but Chen Xiu could see that they were very nervous, and his arms trembled slightly.

bang...

Su Zijin took out the script they contributed from the briefcase, put it on the table, crossed his fingers and glanced over the two of them from time to time.

"Is there anything else you two would like to add about the script and terms of this TV series?
Regarding the script "Want to See You", I plan to spend 200 million yuan to buy the copyright, and invest 3000 million yuan to create the project, and strive to release it at the end of the year. Do you have any opinions? "

Su Zijin raised his teacup and took a sip, his eyes lingering on the two of them.

Kan Wenhui and Chen Xiu showed embarrassment on their faces, whispered in low voices, and never answered the question.

Boom!
The teacup was placed on the table, and the two raised their heads in shock, meeting Su Zijin's eyes.

"Why are you two unwilling? Buying a script for 200 million yuan is a lot!
What's more, I'm willing to invest 3000 million yuan to shoot. I'm afraid you can't find a second one if you search all over China.

Is there anything else you two don't want? "

After hearing these words, Chen Xiu on the opposite side pulled a piece of Wen Hui's clothes and said in a low voice.

"Why don't you agree, 200 million is not a small amount."

"No! Have you forgotten our bottom line?"

The skinny Wen Hui has very thin bones, as if he could be blown away by a strong wind, but he is extremely stubborn.

Wen Hui stood up, pondered for a while, and showed a gentle smile.

"President Su, the conditions you gave are very good, but I still want to add one thing, I hope that the filming of this TV series will be completely controlled by our brothers, and at the same time, I don't want you to interfere too much.

If I agree, I don't need any of the 200 million script fees. "

Wen Hui has his own stubbornness in his heart. As a screenwriter transformed from an assistant director, he started from filming, and has done all the big and small tasks in the crew back and forth.

After being busy for more than ten years, he has been holding back a lot of energy in his heart. He wants to make a TV series by himself and become a real director.

And this script is his best opportunity, and he absolutely doesn't want to miss it.

Wen Hui repeated what he had just said.

"President Su, as long as you give me the right and don't interfere with my normal filming, I guarantee that this TV series will become a hit."

"Why do you!"

Wen Hui's words were convincing and swearing, but after hearing Su Zijin's words, he was instantly discouraged.

I saw that Su Zijin pinched the teacup with three fingers, and raised his eyes to reveal his eyes on the edge of the teacup.

"Tell me, how can you promise!"

"This script is paid by me and the people who paid for it to shoot the TV series, why do you just take my 3000 million investment with a fluffy word?
My money is not gale, I can let you shoot, but you need to give me, trust your reason.

Otherwise, you are not worthy of these investments based on this sentence alone. "

Su Zijin really likes the script in his hand, and he has great confidence that this script is likely to become an annual hit brand.

It can show the memories of a generation, and even put in a few stars with good acting skills, and they can jump to the second line.

For such an important matter, Su Zijin has no reason to let two brats who have never had experience in guiding do it.

That's the same sentence, do you deserve it?How many do you have!
These words immediately put the two of them in a difficult position. From the bottom of their hearts, they both knew that what Su Zijin said was right, but the dream they had been chasing so hard for so many years was right in front of them, making it impossible for them to give up so easily.

After weighing the pros and cons, Wen Hui stood up without giving in.

"President Su, this TV series must be directed by me. First, in terms of qualifications, I have been an assistant director for more than ten years, and I know all the procedures of the crew.

Second, no one understands this script better than me. With my guidance, it can definitely perfectly reflect the meaning of it.

Third, I am willing to sign a VAM agreement. If it fails or suffers losses, I am willing to bear it alone.

Hope you can agree!"

Wen Hui gritted his teeth. This is the closest he has come to his dream. If he succeeds, he will become a real director. If he fails, he is willing to use his two houses in bj to pay off the debt.

Wen Hui made up his mind, this time, if he fails, he will be benevolent!
"Ha ha."

Su Zijin smiled, laughing at Wen Hui's innocence.

If Su Zijin agreed based on this sentence alone, he would be a real fool.

Before coming, Su Zijin did a comprehensive investigation on these two people.

As Wen Hui said, he has been an assistant director for more than ten years, and he is also a top student in the director department of Beijing Film Academy. Over the years, he has also produced some good TV series.

But with such flirtatious words, it would be too simple to take away the real money from Su Zijin.

Su Zijin picked up the sweet-scented osmanthus cake, bit off most of it in one bite, and looked at the two of them while chewing.

In the room, only the sound of playing the piano floated faintly through the window lattice, but Wen Hui and Chen Xiu felt restless, and Su Zijin's gaze was like a knife cutting flesh on his body.

The two were trembling nervously. Even though the air conditioner in the room was on, the sweat had already penetrated their backs.

Live like a year!
Wen Hui didn't let go of every trace of Su Zijin's expression, trying to see clearly his heart.

But Su Zijin's expression was calm and composed, without any change.

How to do!
I can't let go of such a good opportunity!
But if the capital is allowed to intervene randomly, is the work really my own?

But if it doesn't, it's all over.

Finding another investor is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

Give up your persistence and get investment, or stick to the bottom line and wait for the next investor?
Wen Hui drew a big question mark in his heart, and stared at Su Zijin for 3 minutes.

Wen Hui spoke.

"President Su, I agree that you can participate in the filming process, but I want to say something better, I have a veto right for any of your opinions.

Otherwise, I would rather let this script be buried, and I am not willing to change beyond recognition because of the participation of investors. "

"If you can agree, we will sign the contract right away. I don't want the 200 million. In the end, if I make a profit, I will take 20.00%. If I make a loss, I will take it all by myself.

Do you dare or not!"

Wen Hui bit his cheek, his eyes were firm, as if he wanted to swallow Su Zijin.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

Su Zijin didn't speak for a long time, but just ate the pastry calmly, and when the mung bean cake in her hand was finished, she raised her eyes.

"Yes, I agree, but you have to promise me one condition."

"You say!"

Wen Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"You put your life on the line for this movie! And I want to play the lead actor."

Su Zijin got up and put the mobile phone in front of the two of them, with playful eyes.

"I think I should be qualified for this!"
