light and shadow [entertainment circle]

After leaving the house, Jiang Cheng quickly called his manager, Yan Ming.

Yan Ming is in his early [-]s this year, and has three contracted artists in his hand.Jiangcheng is currently the most popular one.This time Yan Ming didn't accompany Jiang Cheng to meet Tang Chi, not because he didn't value Jiang Cheng.Judging by Yan Ming's half-life experience in the broker circle, he believed that Tang Chi had the intention to vigorously cultivate Jiangcheng.Under this premise, it is far more beneficial for Jiang Cheng to make Tang Chi realize that Jiang Cheng is his person than to make Tang Chi think that Jiang Cheng is a strict person.Moreover, with Jiang Cheng's EQ, Yan Ming also believed that his response would not go wrong.However, Yan Ming never expected that Tang Chi would give Jiang Cheng such a script.He was silent for a while, and finally said with difficulty: "Let's talk about your own opinion first."

Jiang Cheng sighed, and said in a low voice, "The script itself is really good, it's the director..."

Before Jiang Cheng finished speaking, Yan Ming interrupted him. "What about the character set?"

"One for ordinary people." Jiang Cheng frowned slightly, and quickly added another sentence. "coward!"

Yan Ming smiled briefly, he knew that Jiang Cheng already had the answer in his heart.Jiang Cheng has been under Yan Ming's leadership since his debut, and he has a clear understanding of his character.This person in Jiang Cheng pursues his career, and it's not that he can't bear hardships, but he has always been very serious in his heart.Mapped to the scene: he would rather pick up the big villain who has no reason to do evil, and he will never pick up the rapist who is forced by the situation because the latter is too out of character. "If you don't answer it, then don't answer it..." After a pause, Yan Ming revealed to Jiang Cheng the inside information he had just received in a low voice. "I heard that Mr. Guan is in contact with Yin Weiwei from the United States recently, and there may be a big project in the near future. If possible, I hope I can recommend you to fight for a role in that movie."

"Yin Future?" Jiang Cheng ran through the name in his mind, and immediately let out a cry. "Devil Six?!"

Yin Future is truly a legend in the film industry.He is the direct heir of the Wudang School, he was gifted and intelligent since he was a child, and he should have competed for the position of master to carry forward Wudang martial arts.Unexpectedly, at the age of 26, he suddenly fell in love with the film industry, went to a film company to work as an action director, and pissed off his teacher half to death.At that time, the domestic film industry had just started, but Huaxia martial arts had always been valued by the government and paid well. Yin Weilai joined the film industry. I don’t know how many people ridiculed him behind his back for his “brain full of muscles”.Later, when domestic action movies were in a downturn, everyone thought he would obediently return to Wudang, but unexpectedly he traveled across the ocean to the United States to develop, and he really made his way in the American film industry.

Over the past few decades, he has won the best art director award of the Bald Eagle Award, the highest award in the American film circle and one of the top five A-category film festivals in the world; Even in the United States, if an actor who takes the route of an action star can't go out to meet people if he doesn't know two-handed Tai Chi and a little kung fu.Now, Yin Future is nearly [-] years old, and his disciples and grandchildren in the United States are all gathered together. There are many crooked nuts who are obsessed with martial arts and have worked hard to come to Wudang to learn from their teachers.Even when he is away from home, people will always call him "Sixth Master", which is really a glorious lintel.And the reason why he is called "Sixth Lord" is because he is ranked sixth in the division, but the Chinese people generally call him "Ghost Six" because he went to work for foreign devils early.

Hearing Jiang Cheng blurt out "Devil Six", Yan Ming immediately coughed. "Pay attention to your words." As far as the manager's style is concerned, Yan Ming can be considered traditional.He trains artists, and has always upheld the spirit of consistent words and deeds.An entertainer who only shows off under the camera and is a mess in private will be exposed sooner or later.

Jiang Cheng also felt ashamed secretly, and then asked again: "How did Mr. Guan get in touch with Master Liu?"

"I heard that Liu Ye watched Yun Chuan San and was very satisfied with Xia Zhi's play." Yan Ming replied casually.

"Oh..." Jiang Cheng was a little disappointed, but he knew that this was expected.

"The collaboration between Guangying and Liu Ye is definitely a big production and big event, and the early publicity is enough to help you stir up popularity." Yan Ming has joined Guangying for many years, although he has always complained about Guangying's carelessness in cultivating direct-line artists, but I am very confident in the production level of light and shadow. "I hope that even if you can't win the male number two, at least help you get a worthy male number three. If you are free in the near future, you might as well find a master to practice your skills."

"I see." Jiang Cheng had no objection to Yan Ming's suggestion, only hesitating. "Then Mr. Tang..."

"I'll tell." Yan Ming knew that this was what Jiang Cheng was waiting for.But there are some things that have always been seen through without telling the truth, and he still pacifies Jiang Cheng as usual. "Don't worry, Mr. Tang is straightforward and open-minded. This kind of thing is nothing."

"Thank you, Brother Yan!" Jiang Cheng was really relieved from the bottom of his heart.

"You're welcome, we are on the same boat..." Yan Ming and Jiang Cheng expressed their loyalty to each other, and then hung up the TV.Afterwards, Yan Ming held his phone against the wall for a while, then shook his head and smiled.At this time, it's not that he doesn't envy Li Zhiyi.

Sure enough, Tang Chi didn't take Jiang Cheng's rejection to heart, and quickly arranged for other candidates to be recommended to Zhou Diwen.Unexpectedly, this time it was Zhou Diwen's turn to be dissatisfied. He expressed to Guan Shan and Tang Chi his good wish to choose the leading role himself.

Guan Shan and Tang Chi looked at each other, suppressing the urge to beat Zhou Diwen together.In the history of global film, there are many talented directors who independently directed their first film and achieved great success.But before proving that Zhou Diwen was one of them, Guan Shan and Tang Chi were really conflicted.The investment in the film was 1000 million, and the post-publicity work was at least 500 million. Light and Shadow gave Zhou Diwen 1500 million in real money to play this ticket.

Zhou Diwen also seemed to feel the dilemma of light and shadow, and immediately said generously: "If Mr. Guan thinks the investment risk is too high, you can discuss it later. I feel...only 800 million can finish this film."

Guan Shan and Tang Chi exchanged another look of despair. It is a layman who can say this! 800 million, unless it is for a CultMovie, otherwise the current market price only pays and props are more than this amount!I saw Guan Shan ponder for a moment, then finally shook his head and said, "Since we have an agreement before, let's do things according to the agreement. The initial investment is still 1000 million, and when your samples come out, if I think it's good and you need it again, I can Consider additional investment. But if you can’t make a complete movie with the 1000 million, and I don’t want to make additional investment, then this movie will have to die. In addition, since you are not satisfied with the protagonist recommended by Guangying, you are required to choose yourself... ...Then, even if the film production is completed, Guangying has the right to press the film.” Although 1500 million is not a small amount, it is not unbearable for the current Guangying.On the contrary, Light and Shadow has been established for many years, and its production level is already well-known in China. Guan Shan will never smash the signboard of Light and Shadow for anyone.

"I agree!" Zhou Diwen was obviously very confident in his directing skills, and agreed without thinking.

With Guan Shan's support, Zhou Diwen immediately went back to school to find Zeng Yijing.When Zeng Yijing was acting as a group performer in the fourth studio of Yunchuan, Zhou Diwen went to watch twice because of his friendship with classmates.Contrary to Zhou Diwen's expectations, Zeng Yijing, a rich man who can't afford to suffer even a bit in life, is extraordinarily open-minded when filming.Not only does he have aura, he looks like whatever he plays; he loves acting even more, and he enjoys it no matter what role he plays.Therefore, people who gang up to eat melons also enjoy it.Zhou Diwen knew very well that Mai Liwen's personality was not good.Therefore, in terms of actor selection, either find a popular star who is escorted by fans, or the actor himself can act in a way that is pitiful rather than annoying.

At this time, Zeng Yijing was playing a game in the school dormitory - Happy Sparrow God.It seems that Zeng Yijing still remembers the fiasco in Yunchuan No. [-] studio not long ago.

"Yijing, I have a new script." Zhou Diwen didn't ask Zeng Yijing to go offline, just pulled a chair and chatted with him.

Zeng Yijing kept his eyes on the screen, and replied casually: "You have always had a lot of ideas, have I seen this new script before?"

"Probably not." Zhou Diwen smiled and continued. "Light and Shadow has decided to invest in making a movie, and I will direct it myself. I would like to ask you to join me as the leading male lead."

"...Damn it!" Zeng Yijing clicked a wrong card and played the gun.But at this time, Zeng Yijing obviously couldn't care less about the poker game.He threw the tablet on the bed casually, turned his head and looked at Zhou Diwen eagerly. "Brother Wen, what did you just say?"

Zhou Diwen was disgusted by the eyes of a beggar like Zeng Yijing who had been hungry for three days looking at the beggar chicken, and said coldly: "If you look at me like that again, I will find someone else."

In the next moment, Zeng Yijing immediately sat upright, with a nonchalant expression on his face. "What drama?"

Zhou Diwen snickered again, and then replied: ""We Don't Familiar", you play an office worker, you have no skills, you can't get promoted, and you are always put on small shoes."

Zeng Yijing looked disdainful. "How could I be so frustrated?"

Zhou Diwen immediately rolled his eyes at him angrily, and said impatiently: "There are so many frustrated people in this world! Don't interrupt me! You first cut your hair ugly and wear a pair of black-rimmed glasses. The more frustrated you are, the better." That kind. In the first scene, when you just got off work, your team leader asked you to stay and work overtime to be responsible for cleaning up. Then your colleague justifiably threw his unfinished work to you, saying that you should rush home to buy vegetables and cook. meal; the intern also came to ask you for help with a smile, saying that he needs to meet his boyfriend after work, and he will bring you breakfast tomorrow. Of course, you will never be able to eat this breakfast, you know how frustrating you are.”

"What about me? What am I doing? How many lines do you have?" Zeng Yijing nodded and asked curiously.

"You are in charge of the setback! Of course you said 'OK', don't worry, there are not many lines, it's very simple." Zhou Diwen said with a relaxed attitude, "In the second scene, when you came home from work late at night, you met someone on the elevator. Chairman, the elevator failed and you were trapped in the elevator for two hours, chatting about codes. This kind of chat content will not be understood by many viewers, and in order to preserve the suspense, you only need to take a shot of entering the elevator. In short It’s over soon. I don’t have any role for you in the future, I’ll send you an email later, and you can read the script by yourself. Then the chairman died, the company was in chaos, and everyone was busy standing in line, and you...you continue to be responsible for the setback.”

Zeng Yijing tentatively raised his arm, and seeing Zhou Diwen nod his head in agreement, he asked cautiously, "Uh...why?"

Zhou Diwen tilted his head and thought for a while, and replied: "I'm confused, I'm not in the mood, and I'm not even talking about gossip. So, everyone consciously avoids you when talking about gossip."

Zeng Yijing laughed twice, and said to him: "Hehe! Then I'm really frustrated!"

Zhou Diwen probably noticed Zeng Yijing's dissatisfaction, and comforted him: "The next game will not be frustrating!"

"Really?"

"The next time the chairman's nephew comes to you to ask for the relic left by the chairman, but you don't know what the other party is talking about. The chairman's nephew is very angry, scolding you and threatening you."

"So I quarreled with him?" Zeng Yijing said excitedly.

"How is it possible?" Zhou Diwen glanced at Zeng Yijing contemptuously, "You're so cowardly! You're so scared that your face turns blue and you stutter, and if you can't sleep all night, you're afraid of being fired."

Zeng Yijing choked, and after a while he asked helplessly, "Brother Wen, just tell me, did my character successfully counterattack in the end?"

"Frustrating people and want to counterattack? Do you think this is reading an online novel?" Zhou Diwen answered him of course, "The selling point of my script is realism!"

Zeng Yijing was really speechless and just stared at him dejectedly.

"Very good! That's the expression!" Unexpectedly, Zhou Diwen drew a square frame with both hands, facing Zeng Yijing's face. "It's this kind of mourning. When shooting, you have to maintain this state at all times!"

Zeng Yijing immediately rolled his eyes, wiped his face, and asked Zhou Diwen seriously: "As far as I know, the domestic movie market is mainly supported by couples. Are you sure that such a sad movie will be watched?"

Zhou Diwen waved his hands indifferently, and said, "Losers who have lost their careers will feel the same way."

"Are you sure that a Loser who is frustrated in his career will choose to go to the cinema to feel the same experience instead of downloading pirated copies at home?" Zeng Yijing continued his efforts.

This time it was Zhou Diwen's turn to be speechless.

"Let's change the script!" Zeng Yijing patted Zhou Diwen on the shoulder, speaking earnestly.

"No!" Zhou Diwen woke up instantly. "This is the script I want to shoot! We are brothers at any rate, in a word, will you shoot it or not?"

Zeng Yijing was silent for a moment, finally gritted his teeth and said, "Shoot!"

Sending off Zhou Diwen, Zeng Yijing soon received a call from Xia Zhi. "Summer solstice! Summer solstice! I have a new movie to shoot..." Zeng Yijing shouted excitedly as soon as the call was connected.

"Forget about your new movie!" Unexpectedly, Xia Zhi interrupted him before he finished speaking. "I have a big production, "Wulin League", are you interested in making a cameo?"

"Guest role?" Zeng Yijing asked in doubt.

"It's just playing tricks." Xia Zhi replied casually, "Male four or five at most."

"Do you have any lines?"

"Should be... Oh, yes, you have to practice first. This is a martial arts movie. The sixth master returned to China to become a martial artist. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! How about it, brother, shall I take care of you?" Xia Zhi proudly asked for credit.

Unexpectedly, Zeng Yijing didn't know who the "Sixth Lord" was at all, so he simply replied to Xia Zhi: "But the film in my hand is for the leading actor."

"Huh...huh?" Xia Zhi on the other end of the phone suddenly opened his eyes wide, and after a moment of silence, he asked cautiously. "Then you mean..."

"I want to be the leading actor!" Zeng Yijing answered him firmly.

The author has something to say:

After the shooting of "We Don't Familiar":

Zeng Yijing: Brother Wen, it seems that we haven't talked about salary?

Zhou Diwen: With a monthly income of [-] yuan, are you happy or not?

Zeng Yijing: I bought a watch last year!

Zhou Diwen: Huh?

Zeng Yijing: ...they are more expensive than this...
