Actor: I picked up attributes on the set

"Have a meal!"

Speaking of this, Ning Luoxia also added: "There is a big-budget movie that lacks a leading actor, so I just made an appointment for a dinner to talk about it."

After hearing the words "big production", Lin Yuan also directly agreed.

Anyway, he only has the schedule of the mermaid movie next, so he can definitely take on another movie.

In addition to the reason of the schedule, the word "big production" also made his heart flutter. Big production means high salary.

Don't forget, his wallet is still in a shrinking state. After buying a villa, there is not much left.

In this case, he can only quickly take on two more plays to subsidize his family.

And Sister Xia said that it is a big production, and generally it can be called a big production movie, and the quality is basically no problem.

The reason why I dare to be so sure that the quality is not bad is very simple, because it can be called a big production movie, and its cast is relatively luxurious, and the cast is luxurious, which means that the script is not too bad.

After all, no actor is willing to act in a bad movie. Of course, there are two exceptions. One is that the film studio offers too much, which is too much for the actors to refuse, and the other is that the film studio invites traffic stars.

But in Lin Yuan's view, since the other party has found him, they must value his acting skills, and he probably won't encounter the latter situation.

After analyzing the current situation, Lin Yuan also had some expectations in his heart, as a human being, who doesn't want to make money?As for the specific movie, it can only be known after tomorrow passes.

With this anticipation, time quickly passed by.

The next morning, sister Xia came to pick Lin Yuan into the car in person.

On the way to the dinner, Lin Yuan couldn't help asking: "Sister Xia, do you know what movie it is?"

Miss Xia shook her head.

She didn't know what movie it was, but she also heard some news from that friend in the circle: "Do you usually read novels?"

"novel?"

"I read it before, but then I changed to the script." Lin Yuan replied.

When I was in Hengdian, I would read novels in my spare time. After all, wherever the group performance goes, the play will end.

But now it is no longer possible, he has to spend his time memorizing the script and thinking about the role.

Sister Xia was also afraid that Lin Yuan would dislike the movie when she heard that it was adapted from a novel, so she helped to say a few good words: "I only know that the movie seems to be adapted from a novel, and it is very popular among young people. It shouldn't be too bad to adapt it into a movie."

But to Lin Yuan, who was thinking while sitting in the co-pilot, it didn't really matter whether it was an adaptation of the novel, what was important was how effective the adaptation was.

After all, the adaptation is not a random compilation, and the joke is not nonsense, there is some truth in these words.

The car "speeded" all the way, half an hour away, stuck in a traffic jam for almost 25 minutes, and finally arrived at this high-end restaurant that looked very stylish.

Lin Yuan got out of the car after putting on the mask, which was also to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Sister Xia's friend had already been waiting at the entrance of the restaurant for a long time. When she saw Ning Luoxia and Lin Yuan appear, she immediately came forward to greet her.

While saying hello, both eyes were almost on Lin Yuan: "Luoxia, long time no see, this is the artist you bring, Lin Yuan, right? What a talent, much better than the two unsatisfactory artists under me I really can’t even support it with resources.”

Sister Xia didn't take it seriously either, she said a few polite words, followed her friend, and walked all the way into the box.

Before they came in, there were already four people sitting in the box.

One of them seemed familiar to Lin Yuan, Xiao Si, in the words of their film and television circles, perhaps he should be called Director Guo.

As for the other three, Lin Yuan had never seen them before.

After seeing Lin Yuan and the others push the door in, Director Guo and the others stood up and greeted enthusiastically: "Mr. Lin Yuan, I saw you on the big screen in the theater before, but I didn't expect to see you in person this time." Come on, come on, let's sit down and talk."

Out of politeness, Lin Yuan shook hands with Director Guo: "Hi Director Guo, who are these?"

After hearing Lin Yuan's words, Xiaosi also hurriedly introduced: "This is Manager Zhang of LeTV Pictures, Zhang Ying, who is also the investor of our movie, and the other two are my assistants."

Seeing this, Zhang Ying got up and shook hands with Lin Yuan as a gesture of goodwill.

It's just that he was sitting next to Xiao Si, and when he stood up, Xiao Si suddenly became half a head shorter.

After a few simple chats, Xiaosi quickly got to the point.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, I'm going to adapt my next novel into a movie, and I still need a leading actor. I wonder if you're interested."

It seemed that he was afraid that Lin Yuan would not be tempted, Xiaosi did not forget to add: "You can rest assured in terms of film production, with the investment of LeTV Film and Television, it is guaranteed that this film is definitely the highest production level among films in recent years, and I give You revealed a piece of news, I also invited a top actress, Fan Ye, to this movie."

I have to say that the words Xiao Si said are quite tempting.

LeTV Pictures just completed its B round of financing last year, and is still vigorously developing resources in Hollywood. It can be said that it has a lot of money and a bright future.

With the investment from LeTV Films, it will take a lot of advantages in all aspects of the film's publicity and distribution. In addition, this is an adaptation of Xiaosi's novel, and it also has a certain fan base, which guarantees that the box office of this film will never be high. too low.

And what Lin Yuan didn't expect was that Xiaosi actually invited Fan Ye. From this point of view, the other leading actors must have a lot of background.

No matter which aspect you look at, the quality and box office of this movie seem to be guaranteed.

But Lin Yuan didn't rush to agree.

Instead, he asked the most practical thing: "Director Guo, what about the salary?"

After Lin Yuan's words fell, Xiaosi's face immediately put on a smile. He was afraid that Lin Yuan would not even talk about it, so he directly refused. Since Lin Yuan was willing to talk, he was sure to make Lin Yuan fall in love.

"Don't worry, I discussed this matter with Manager Zhang before. With your current popularity, Mr. Lin Yuan, what do you think of a salary of 2000 million yuan?"

It is undeniable that the remuneration proposed by Xiao Si is really very attractive.

With Lin Yuan's current popularity as a first-line star, the salary is generally around 500 million. In the end, he directly raised the salary to 2000 million. Even if he split the bill with the company, he still has 1000 million in his hands.

This salary is about the same as starring in a TV series. If you say you don't want to be tempted, you are really talking against your conscience.

Even Sister Xia, who was sitting beside Lin Yuan, turned her attention directly to Lin Yuan after hearing Xiao Si finished talking about the salary.

Seeing that Lin Yuan didn't answer for a long time, he even coughed twice, implying that Lin Yuan agreed.

But Lin Yuan sensed something was wrong.

The reason is very simple. Logically speaking, this kind of big-budget movie invites stars to star in, not to mention the premium, which is 200 million less than the market average price. I am afraid that many actors are willing.

And Xiaosi also invited top stars like Fan Ye.

Needless to say, Fan Ye’s film salary is at least twice as much as his. After spending such a large amount of money to invite Fan Ye, he can still invite him with a film salary of 2000 million, unless the other leading actors are all acting in friendship and don’t care about the film salary at all. Otherwise, Lin Yuan really couldn't think of a reason for such a high salary.

Holding this doubt, Lin Yuan directly asked: "Director Guo, I'm really satisfied with the salary, but can I read the script first?"

Just after Lin Yuan said that he wanted to read the script, the smile on Xiao Si's face suddenly disappeared.

But after seeing Zhang Ying winking at him, Xiaosi still took out the prepared script.

There was a reason why they would look for Lin Yuan.

One is because Lin Yuan's popularity on the Internet remains high, even more popular than some traffic stars.

The second is to take a fancy to the title of Lin Yuan's powerful faction.

In fact, half of their play has been filmed, but many problems were discovered during the filming process.

It is obviously impossible for other actors to wait for the revised script to reshoot.

Then there is only another way, which is to sell dog meat as sheep's tricks.

It doesn't take much time to lure Lin Yuan, a powerful actor, into the film crew anyway, and then use Lin Yuan as the promotional point of the movie.

When the audience sees that Lin Yuan, a powerful faction, has starred in this movie, they will definitely think that the quality of this movie must not be bad.

At that time, Lin Yuan received a high salary of 2000 million, and they won the market box office. Isn't this a win-win situation?

It's just that Lin Yuan has to read the script now, which somewhat makes Xiao Si a little unhappy.

After paying so much for the film, they still choose the script?

But the matter had come to this point, and he couldn't justify not giving it, so he could only hand over the script in the end.

After receiving the script handed over from Xiaosi, Lin Yuan began to watch it carefully.

The name of the movie is "Grand Trail", which is adapted from Xiao Si's novel of the same name.

In addition to the play he will act in, the script also briefly tells the specific story of the movie.

When he first read the script, Lin Yuan thought there was nothing wrong with it.

I even feel that the world view of this movie is a bit grand, and the effect may be not bad.

But when he saw the back, the expression on his face gradually froze.

It can be seen from the script alone, let's not talk about the box office of this movie, but the word of mouth will definitely collapse completely. To put it bluntly, this movie is bad, and you can tell just by reading the script, so Lin Yuan immediately I don't want to pick it up.

"Director Guo, I watched it. There are too many scenes. I still have a schedule. I'm afraid I won't be able to participate in this movie." Lin Yuan refused very tactfully.

Although he had no contact with Xiaosi, he was still in the same circle now, so it was difficult to say some things too bluntly.

And the box office was 2000 million when he opened his mouth, especially under the premise that he didn't know what the other party was up to, he still had to save a little face for others.

After Lin Yuan refused, Xiao Si stood up. He guessed that the other party probably saw something wrong from the script, but to be honest, he didn't care, he knew the script himself, and he knew that the movie was worth half a buck. Therefore, without wasting time, he looked straight into Lin Yuan's eyes and said, "How about 500 million?"

After Xiaosi offered a salary of 500 million yuan, sister Xia quickly tugged on Lin Yuan's sleeve, signaling him to agree.

After Lin Yuan refused at the beginning, sister Xia guessed the reason. There must be something wrong with the script.

But in front of the 500 million film salary, even if the script has problems, what are you afraid of?

Which star hasn't made a few bad movies?

Even if making this movie loses its reputation, the remuneration is real!

But Lin Yuan and Sister Xia have different ideas.

He didn't mean to say how much he valued his reputation, but the reputation he had accumulated from so many films before, and he didn't want to ruin it just for the extra 500 million yuan salary.

The word-of-mouth that I have finally accumulated is also valuable.

It is no exaggeration to say that if he continues to maintain the line of high-quality movies, almost every movie will have at least tens of millions of box office, and it will be for his reputation.

But once he accepts this movie, it means that the word-of-mouth he has accumulated before will disappear in front of the audience.

This is the same as trust. After losing it, it is not so easy to restore it.

However, if Xiao Si offered him a salary of 5000 to [-] million yuan, he might still think about it. After all, he is also a realistic person, and he might not be able to handle this kind of temptation.

But obviously, people would not ask such a high price, with this thought in mind, he continued to refuse.

"I'm sorry, Director Guo, but this script really doesn't suit me."

Lin Yuan has made his words very clear this time, but he still saved a little face for the other party, and he hasn't said it clearly, so it's just passing by.

However, just because he gives face doesn't mean others don't give face. A "Little Times" made Xiaosi a well-known director. It's even more beautiful, whether it's capital, directors, or actors around me, isn't that coaxing me?But now that the other party doesn't give any face, then he doesn't intend to give any face, and a trace of disdain suddenly appeared on his face.

"Mr. Lin Yuan, do you mean that there is something wrong with my script?"

Without waiting for Lin Yuan to explain, Xiaosi continued to be aggressive: "In this case, you can directly point out the problems in the script to me!"

After feeling the tone of the other party, Lin Yuan originally wanted to calm things down, but seeing the dissatisfied tone of everyone around him, he simply didn't think so much. If he didn't point it out today, others would say it was him He was messing around, so he didn't intend to continue being so polite, and immediately followed the other party's words and pointed out the problem with the script.

"Director Guo, I can tell from the script that your original story may be very grand, but the effect after adapting it into the script is too confusing. What are the seven princes and seven apostles? Corresponding to the seven talents, how much time do you think there is left in a two-hour movie after introducing these?"

"Secondly, the combat power system inside is too chaotic. It's so chaotic that I doubt whether the seven princes are at the same level of strength. Since the three-degree prince is so strong, why not just do it?"

"In the end, the conspiracy theory between Baiyinji and Wangjue also made me feel embarrassed. It buried the suspense of the whole movie, and ended up using the last scene to explain it hastily. I really doubt that the person who adapted the script should have no wake."

As Lin Yuan pointed out the problems in the script one by one, Xiaosi's expression suddenly became embarrassing.

He didn't think so much when he adapted the script, and he even thought that he could adapt such a grand story into a movie, which shows how talented he is in making movies.

It turned out that there were so many problems in the script when the actors started filming.

It's a pity that it's too late at this time, and it's too late to modify the script.

He can only promote from CG special effects, popular stars, nudity and selling corruption, etc. Anyway, he didn't think about making money from all the audience. The reason why he pulled Lin Yuan into the film crew was to use Lin Yuan's reputation to help him make this movie more popular. Get some viewers.

If it wasn't for this reason, he would have spent the 2000 million yuan salary on inviting traffic stars. Who would invite Lin Yuan?

In this case, after Lin Yuan pointed out the problems in the script in public, Xiaosi had a gloomy face and didn't say a word.

On the contrary, Zhang Ying next to him is still planning to continue to negotiate the price with Lin Yuan: "Mr. Lin Yuan, why don't we each take a step back, so that we will revise the script at that time and pay you 3000 million yuan as a salary. Do you want to reconsider?" a bit."

Whether it's the popularity of "Charlotte's Troubles" or the movie promotional power of "One Man's Martial Arts", they have long taken a fancy to the value of Lin Yuan.

And they also inquired about some news that Lin Yuan was about to star in Master Xing's new movie.

If they pull Lin Yuan into the starring list of "Grand Trail" now, even if they pay Lin Yuan 1000 million more, they can get back this part of the money from Lin Yuan's fans later.

In a word, as long as Lin Yuan joins the crew, it's a money-making business no matter what.

As for the revision of the script, it’s okay to agree to it first, and then just perfunctory after signing the contract, right?

With this in mind, Zhang Ying also specially reminded Lin Yuan: "Mr. Lin Yuan, the salary of 3000 million is the salary for three films."
