my time as a director

Seeing that Li Qian didn't respond, Wang Jinghua smiled and said, "The movie is different, if you have a membership, you can watch it for free."

"Except for members, nearly 50 people paid to watch Great White Shark. Last year, how many domestic movies were watched by 50 people." Li Qian said lightly.

Sensing the change in Li Qian's tone, Wang Jinghua didn't want to go too far. After all, Li Qian's potential is valued by several major companies. A capable director, even a manager like her, wants to make friends.

Young people are naturally impulsive, if they go too far and offend Li Qian, the loss outweighs the gain.

So Wang Jinghua also agreed, but there was one condition, and she wanted a few more supporting roles.

For her, it is very common for her to put a few actors in a movie starring her own actors. Some movies are even packaged directly, and the leading actors are all her own actors.

Li Qian thought it was a little funny, this guy is really awesome, he started the CAA bundling and packing.

But CAA is CAA, and she doesn't look at the actors under her banner.

"Since this is the case, forget it, and trouble Mr. Wang to make a trip."

Shaking his head, Li Qian got up and left the small conference room.

Ask for a recommendation ticket!

Chapter 85 The starring role is confirmed (recommended tickets please!)

Wang Jinghua walked away with a very unsightly face, accompanied by Mr. Hu who was a bit puzzled.

Deng Chaogang is still chatting with Hu Jun about the role. They have worked together in the assembly number, so they know each other.

Although it's also a bit inexplicable, didn't you do well in the audition, why did you leave like this all of a sudden?

But he didn't ask any more questions, he shouldn't interrupt in such matters.

But Guo Fan didn't have so many worries, and asked directly, "Boss, what's the matter?"

"fine."

Li Qian shook his head, "It's normal that we didn't agree."

No matter who he cooperates with, Li Qian's bottom line is that no one can interfere with his film.

If he is willing to lower his salary to act, he will reciprocate. If there are other suitable roles, Li Qian will also consider Wang Jinghua first.

But Li Qian would rather change another actor if he offered to ask for it.

There are so many domestic actors, no one is indispensable.

As soon as they left, Zhong Shuai, the big manager of Huayang Media, came to help Deng Chao check the contract.

Although Deng Chao hasn't signed Huayang yet, Zhong Shuai is now in charge of all aspects of his business, and the role in the assembly number is also Zhong Shuai's coming.

There is no problem with the contract. As one of the leading actors, Deng Chao is paid 40 yuan.

It can be regarded as a salary cut. Although there is no movie released, it is still a first-line niche. Normally, it is at least 60 million.

However, the salary also follows the film investment. The big production usually has a higher salary. Recently, the painting skin that Chen Kun took over was said to cost as high as 8000 million, and Chen Kun got the highest salary of one million yuan in his acting career.

A big production with a cost of 8000 million yuan doesn't care about the salary of more than 20 yuan.

And the salary is still small compared to the income of an actor. Last year, Zhou Xun's annual income on the Forbes Celebrity List was 1900 million, but he filmed a night banquet last year.

Mainland actors can't make money making movies. Zhao Wei and Zhou Xun only make 200 million yuan for a movie. This is already the salary ceiling except for Ge You, Gong Li, and Zhang Ziyi.

If you want to make money, you still have to make TV dramas, shoot commercials, and accept commercial performances.

With so many celebrities signing in Huayang, they just look at the advertising resources of Huayang Media.

If there is no box office appeal, you will receive a good movie, but if you can’t receive a good movie, how can you get the box office appeal? This is an endless loop.

Deng Chao was also very satisfied with taking less pay and receiving a leading actor in a commercial movie with an investment of tens of millions.

After Zhong Shuai confirmed that there was no problem with the contract, Deng Chao also signed his name.

After signing the contract, when Zhong Shuai remembered, he happened to see Wang Jinghua's car driving out of the door, but after thinking about it, he still didn't ask.

......

Then there was an audition, but there was still no candidate that satisfied Li Qian.

Li Qian did have backup candidates, but they were all a little older and lacked the obvious contrast across time and space.

Glancing at Zhong Shuai who hadn't left yet, remembering that he was also Zhang Hanyu's manager, Li Qian asked Zhang Hanyu if he had any schedule.

"Zhang Hanyu?"

Zhong Shuai was stunned. This Li Qian rejected Hua Yang and asked Deng Chao to play the leading role.

Let's just say that Deng Chao is from his hometown, so there is this relationship.

But now Zhang Hanyu is being asked to play another leading role, which makes Zhong Shuai puzzled, why he didn't just cooperate with Huayang before.

After calling Zhang Hanyu and telling him the address, Zhong Shuai half-jokingly said, "Director Li, why don't you just come to Huayang, and you won't have to worry about finding actors in the future."

Li Qian smiled, "You don't need to bother, but there are other troubles too. Director Ma was quite unhappy a while ago, so I'll let it go."

Zhong Shuai also had nothing to say, Ma Xiaogang was still because of him, he was the one who asked for the role in the Deng Chao Assembly.

"However, I heard that Director Li plans to release it before New Year's Day, and the assembly will also be released in December. Zhang Hanyu has to run away during the promotion."

"After half a month, it doesn't matter, the road show will only run to a few big cities."

Seeing that Li Qian didn't have any ill intentions towards Huayang, but just didn't want to be forced into the company like Ma Xiaogang, Zhong Shuai decided to start a conversation with Li Qian.

Now Huayang's four major studios and a special team are all responsible for their own profits and losses, and their big managers are also under great pressure.

Not long after, Zhang Hanyu hurried over.

After explaining the situation, Zhang Hanyu looked at the script and found it quite interesting.

It's just that playing Deng Chao's father made him want to laugh a little.

This tough guy on the screen is still a very casual person in reality, and he smiled teasingly at Deng Chao, "We just played comrades-in-arms, and now we have become father and son again, I can take advantage of it, why don't we get used to it first? "

Li Qian smiled, "Brother Chao, don't be embarrassed, it's all for the sake of art."

Deng Chao's head was full of black lines, and he didn't say a word.

There was a joke in the meeting, and the time was a bit tight, so Li Qian told Zhang Hanyu a joke.

After half an hour, the audition started, the same as before.
