my time as a director

This sense of disobedience is a bit like Chen Daoming in Infernal Affairs 3.

In terms of acting and appearance, Chen Daoming's acting is absolutely fine, but he feels awkward because he is not on the same channel as other people.

Sure enough, it can't be too idealistic, and we still have to find an actor who looks obviously older than Deng Chao.

In the original version in my memory, the ages of the two protagonists look like father and son, without adding the age difference of 30 years in the middle.

After a while, the next audition actor Hu Jun arrived on time.

"Hello, Brother Jun."

Li Qian greeted Hu Jun with a smile, and then looked at the other person walking beside him.

Wang Jinghua, the well-known No. [-] agent in the Mainland, also followed.

"Mr. Wang."

"Hello, Director Li."

Wang Jinghua smiled and said, "I've wanted to meet Director Li for a long time, and she is as young and promising as the rumors say."

"Boss Wang is too polite."

The two sides had nothing to do with each other, and without talking for a few words, they started to get down to business.

Some of the scripts were obtained two days ago, so there was no need to prepare, and we started directly.

Hu Jun and Deng Chao sat facing each other, separated by a curtain, neither of them could see the other.

To perform the feeling of talking face to face, Li Qian also planned to shoot at the same time when filming, instead of one person acting the other person's lines.

Two machines and two scenes may waste a little more film and time, but this kind of communication will be more natural, after all, it is not just a chat.

Auditions begin.

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Parents are always most concerned about their children's lifelong events.

"Forget it, we have some conflicts now, but I will work hard."

Deng Chao did not show impatience like ordinary people when they are urged to marry. After all, this is his father whom he has not seen for 20 years.

It's like a father returning home from a long trip, and the child confides to his father about his life during this time.

Wu Jun also showed a satisfied smile on his face, just looking forward, just like watching a healthy and grown-up child who is about to get married and start a business.

No excited words, just so flat, full of warmth.

It was agreed to stay in front of the radio station on time tomorrow, not willing to hang up, waiting for the other party to hang up first.

After being quiet for a while, Wu Jun hesitated before arriving, "Son, Dad loves you."

"I love you too, Dad."

"I miss you so much."

Tears welled up in Deng Chao's eyes. This was the first time since they confirmed each other's identity and chatted all night, they called each other "Dad" and "Son".

"Crack."

At the end of the performance, Li Qian called to stop.

"Very good, although there are still some problems in the performance, but the emotion is in place."

"Brother Jun, the child is not young."

"Six years old next month."

Speaking of his own children, Hu Jun, who looks like a tough guy, is also full of tenderness on his face.

With my father's experience, I can act more easily.

Hu Jun fully meets his requirements, whether it is a firefighter or a father, the father-son drama with Deng Chao is not against harmony,

Although he is 39 years old, an actor who is a few years younger is really out of harmony.

There are two more actors behind, but if the salary is suitable and can be negotiated, then there will be a cutscene.

Talking about the contract is the business of the manager, so Li Qian invited Wang Jinghua to a small conference room next door.

Everything else is easy to talk about, but the difference in pay is too big.

"Mr. Wang, it is impossible for Hu Jun to get 100 million salary for any movie."

Opening your mouth is 100 million. It's really money, not money.

Li Qian shook his head, "This is a low-budget movie, I can only give 30 yuan, and the two leading actors have only prepared 50 yuan for the film, which is already over budget."

"30?"

Hearing this number, Wang Jinghua couldn't help feeling a little angry.

100 million is indeed high, this is to give Li Qian a room to bargain, but he didn't expect to get cut twice from it.

"Director Li, last year Hu Jun received 100 million yuan for his role as Curiosity Killed the Cat. This year, there is no reason why it should go down instead of going up."

Wang Jinghua smiled and said that although she wanted to make friends with Li Qian, a potential director, it didn't mean she would give up her own interests and those of the actors.

"curiosity kills the cat?"

Li Qian smiled, "I've seen that movie, starring Hu Jun and Liu Jialing, plus film shooting, the cost is not small, the final box office seems to be only 500 million."

"In addition, Hu Jun's salary for Chibi was only 80 yuan, which is still two parts, and the total cost is 40 yuan for a single film. Moreover, the shooting time of costume blockbusters is longer and more tiring. My film is much more relaxed."

Wang Jinghua looked at Li Qian differently now. I heard that he only opened a photography studio before. After two months of filming, he has just set foot in movies, so he knows so much about the industry.

"Chibi is not an ordinary blockbuster movie. Hu Jun starred in it with a reduced salary, and Zhao Wei also received 80 yuan, but her salary for other films started at least 200 million yuan."

The implication is that you can cut your salary if you take Chibi, but what about other movies.

This is also the truth, a very realistic thing, Li Qian is not angry, besides, the manager is the buffer between the actor and the producer, that's what he does.

For a big production of Chibi's level, plus Wu Yusen's name, let alone 80 yuan, a lot of actors will volunteer to join in without any money.

"40."

"Mr. Wang should also know that my last film, White Shark, broke through 2000 million at the box office in more than a month after it was launched, and starred in a movie with a box office of 2000 million. The value is much more cost-effective than 10,000+ yuan."
