Reborn in another world, the boss loves me to the core

"Xianxian, how was your sleep last night?" Yu Linong was extremely enthusiastic and his tone was flattering.

"I woke up at five because I had to rehearse the play at around seven o'clock." Su Xian said lazily.

Yu Linong felt a little embarrassed, as this arrangement had naturally been agreed by him.

Last night’s shooting didn’t go smoothly and we finished two hours later than planned, and the coordinator didn’t follow up to redo the shoot.

Everyone had no choice but to grit their teeth.

As for the reason for being late, it was that his requirements were much higher than before, and many actors were unable to adjust, so the progress was even slower.

"How about a cup of coffee to wake you up?" Yu Linong turned around and called out to his assistant, "Xiao Li, go to the shopping street in front and buy a cup of coffee."

Su Xian stopped him: "Thank you, Director Yu, I don't need it, I just got up a little early and I don't have much energy, I will be fine after this."

"Xiao Li, you don't need to buy coffee. Bring a chair over here and remember to put a cushion on it." After Yu Linong shouted, he turned around and smiled again: "Xianxian, let's chat for a while?"

Su Xian raised her eyebrows slightly, showing no emotion and still looking lazy. "Director Yu, the overall plan is very tight today, and I guess we don't have time to chat. It's almost seven o'clock now. If you have nothing else to do, I'll go put on makeup first."

Yu Linong is so insightful, this lady is not satisfied with the notice."

"Haha, don't worry, it's still early. The morning tea I ordered is here. Let's talk while we eat."

"I have a plan..." Yu Linong repeated his plan, and then said, "Actually, the additional cost is not much. The scene is very simple to set up, and it does not require a lot of extras. I have already negotiated with the actors."

Su Xian suppressed his laughter and said, "You can ask Zhao Zhao about this matter. He is in charge of it."

Yu Linong thought, if I could convince him, I would come to you. You are his immediate superior and all you have to do is say a word.

"Xianxian, don't you want this movie to win some major award?"

Su Xian wondered what made him feel that a horror film could win a major mainstream award.

Could it be that he also came from the Earth?

"I just finished shooting Farewell My Concubine two days ago."

Yu Linong's mind raced and he immediately understood the signal she was giving.

For one, the film will be released this year, just in time for awards season.

Secondly, Jiayi will do public relations operations to try to win the Best Actress award for Su Xian, or at least a nomination.

Moreover, as the male lead, Actor Xiao should strive for international awards.

He was secretly shocked by her ambition.

Even if you haven't seen "Farewell My Concubine", you have heard of it. Compared with horror movies like "The Lambs", art films are obviously more favored by the awards committee.

A big cast, a big production, the male lead is an award-winning actor, the female lead has good acting skills, and the story is about traditional culture. Even if the box office is not high, it will definitely have a place at the awards ceremony.

There has never been a direct relationship between winning awards and box office.

To be honest, he estimated that no movie would surpass Inception in box office this year.

It's a miracle!

If awards were given based on box office, other movies would have no role to play at all.

"I haven't seen Farewell My Concubine, so I can't comment on whether it can win an award, but let me be frank. With Xiao Zhan in front of you, what do you think are your chances of winning an award? In the past three years, in any movie with him in it, the leading actress has at most been nominated, and has basically no chance of winning a major award. It's impossible for a drama to win all the heavyweight awards such as Best Actor and Best Actress. That's too unrealistic. One more movie means more hope."

Su Xian did not deny it. During this period, she watched most of the award-winning works and found that the world was no different. China also liked to strike a balance. Over the years, no movie had won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards.

Relatively speaking, there is the Golden Globe Awards, an international film festival jointly selected by many countries.

"You can increase your investment, but I have a condition."

"As long as you agree, I will agree to any conditions." Yu Linong patted his chest.

Su Xian smiled and said, "As far as I know, Director Yu is still an independent worker. As long as you join Jiayi, I guarantee that this movie will be made according to your most perfect plan. You don't have to worry about funding at all."

Yu Linong was stunned and thought for a while, "I can agree, but I have a condition."

"Please say."

"I want to have autonomy in choosing the script and actors. This needs to be written into the contract."

"Although I really want to agree to your decision, you know that's impossible in reality. Everyone has to learn to compromise. But I can guarantee that you have absolute autonomy for other roles besides the male and female protagonists. Your opinions will be fully sought when the male and female protagonists are selected, and you will get the largest weight ratio. This is the greatest sincerity I can give."

Yu Linong's expression changed from time to time, and finally he made up his mind, "Okay, I agree."

Su Xian smiled and extended his hand, "Welcome Director Yu to join Jiayi."

"Have someone calculate the additional costs and make a detailed plan for Zhao Zhao, and have him take it back to the company to find Yuan Meng. I usually don't get involved in Jiayi's affairs, it's Sister Meng who takes care of it."

She is a hands-off manager in Jiayi's management. Apart from things like financing, she is not involved in the operations.

Although the company's financial statements are delivered on time every once in a while.

But...well, she had to admit, she couldn't understand it at all.

After all, I am just an actor, not a student of financial management.

Yu Linong grinned, but then he thought that if others saw him like this, how would he manage the crew in the future, so he nodded seriously.

"Can I go put on my makeup?"

Yu Linong stepped aside.

After this incident, the crew also knew Su Xian's attitude, and the daily schedule of announcements became much more reasonable.

If we shoot a night scene the day before, it will be scheduled later the next day.

The days on the set were relatively simple, and her parts were more concentrated, rehearsing almost from morning to night.

Thanks to Yu Linong's unremitting efforts in pursuing art, Yuan Meng called her three days later.

"Little ancestor, do you really believe what Yu Linong said? Do you think this movie has a chance to win an award? Are you ready to pay for his artistic pursuit?"

Su Xian was waiting for the next scene. He looked at Yu Linong who was directing the art team to set up the scenery in the distance and said slowly, "Whether I win the award or not is secondary. I'm only in my third year of debut. I'm not in a hurry. The main thing is that I have high hopes for Yu Linong. This kind of pure director is as rare as pure actors."

Yuan Meng said: "Even if we sign him, there is no need to waste a large sum of money. This is a niche film, and it is a horror film. It is not like "The Ship" which has a small investment. The investment in this film is relatively large among films of this type. It is hard to say whether we can recover the cost now."

She paused, then continued, "Jiayi is taking too big a step now. Several of its films have not yet been released. It will cost a lot for post-production promotion, and the financing has not yet been in place. There is indeed no extra funds."

She went back to meet the new actress, a girl in her twenties who, to put it nicely, was outspoken, but to put it bluntly, had no emotional intelligence.

Her agent brought four or five newcomers, and the one who went in her place was also under the same agent.

Now, the whole Internet knows their names.

Of course, the newcomer who replaced her was also scolded badly.

On the other hand, he did become famous for a while, but he was stepping on the company's fame, which made Yuan Meng very angry.

For Jiayi, this matter was like a dumb person eating bitter herbs. No matter how you look at it, it was wrong.

The statement released by the company was of little use, as it was instead picked out by nitpicking. The newcomer also made a video about the incident, but netizens didn't buy it at all. They would rather believe what they had made up in their own minds.

The incident became more and more serious, and many big Vs intervened, bringing some professional internet trolls and a large group of netizens to launch round after round of attacks on Jiayi.

Jiayi is now like a small boat sailing in a storm.

Because of this incident, financing was also suspended.

No matter how you look at it, there is an evil vibe to it. Attacking at this critical moment clearly shows an intention to kill Jiayi.

It is clearly no longer a fight for resources between actors!
