The villain must spend all his money before he goes bankrupt [Transmigration Book]

The crew of "The Horror Circus" started for half a month, and the progress is very touching.

The reason is also very simple. The male protagonist Xu Feikong has a handsome face, and his acting skills are basically zero. Sometimes he stutters when he reads a longer line.

It's okay to pick the food, but he has a very Buddhist temper, that is, no matter what Ye Zhou says or any request he can accept very Buddhistly, but when he actually practices it, he returns to the original state, and his face is stiff. With a straight face, you should forget the words and forget the words, do whatever you want, and feel at ease.

If you are in a hurry, let you be in a hurry, and I will stand still.

Although "The Horror Circus" is a purely commercial film and does not require high acting skills from the actors, at least you have to be quite satisfactory. Even if your acting skills are poor and your movements are stiff, at least you should memorize your lines fluently.

There are many untalented actors Ye Zhou, but people like Xu Tian who are untalented and unwilling to work hard, and require 60% of the scenes to be completed by doubles, are really rare.

This has nothing to do with acting skills, but an issue of attitude.

And Xu Fei is very interesting, he is not like Liu Yunlan who waits for opportunities to make troubles, nor is he like Xi Yang who is always making troubles. He is just not interested in making movies... It is the Buddha's understanding.

I would rather sit on the bench and play games than look at the script. I would rather post the kind of disinterest that is too lazy to communicate with other actors.

It's almost like sticking the word 'salted fish' directly on the face.

Ye Zhou is really strange. He obviously performed pretty well during the audition, and his attitude has always been quite humble. He also looks positive and enthusiastic. Why did he show up in a variety of ways in less than half a month? All flowers bloom together.

If Xu Tian really didn't like making movies, he didn't have to attend the audition at all, and he could even say no when the agent was trying his best to win the role for him. If Xu Tian said it directly, Ye Zhou would definitely give up on him without saying a word, and choose someone else. , without wasting each other's time.

But what happened to Xu Tian, ​​he didn't say anything, he joined the crew and was unwilling to cooperate well, let alone dedicated or not, he didn't even have the most basic professional ethics.

Even though Xu Tian’s agent offered to lower the pay when Xu Tian entered the film crew, the reduction does not mean that there is no such a guy. If you know it’s a small fresh meat, if you don’t know it, you’ll think it’s a Maitreya Buddha Woolen cloth.

Ye Zhou is a director, not a charity worker, and he was so angry that he was so angry almost every day this month, it was so sour, don't mention it.

Just like now, looking at Xu Fei's performance on the monitor, not to mention Ye Zhou, even the expressions on the faces of the assistant directors and staff standing beside him are very indescribable.

Ye Zhou couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Cut!"

However, before he, the director, could say anything, Xu Fei, the actor who made a mistake, spoke before him.

"I'm sorry, I'm not in good shape today, let me take over." Xu Tian smiled and looked at Ye Zhou, his voice couldn't hear the slightest displeasure at being reprimanded, but it didn't matter.

It seems that whether the movie is good or bad has nothing to do with him.

Ye Zhou wanted to spit on him when he opened his mouth, but he swallowed the words again. After a month of shitty filming, he understood that it was unreasonable to talk to Xu Tian. He was very calm about what you said. , Accept everything they say, and then beat them to death without changing it.

Standing up from the chair, Ye Zhou took out his mobile phone and called Xu Tian's manager directly.

"I just asked you if Xu Tian can shoot, can't shoot Ma Liu and take people away for me, what are you doing here every day? This is, I paid him to let him act, not to make him a god for me!"

As soon as the call was connected, Ye Zhou's tone was very irritable, and he showed almost no sympathy. With so many people in the crew, he made no secret of his breakdown towards Xu Tian.

That's it, if someone else is said that, he will definitely jump up in anger, even if he has a better temper, his face must be ugly, but what about Xu Tian?The man didn't even frown, he still maintained a peaceful and kind smile, his eyes were full of compassion.

Obviously, this is not the first time that Xu Tian's manager has received a call from Ye Zhou. He is obviously familiar with the pissing behavior of his artists. After Ye Zhou finished speaking, he did not explain, but apologized repeatedly, with a very good attitude.

But Ye Zhou has been listening to a similar apology for a month, if he can still listen to it, then he is insane.

"You should come to the set right now, preferably within half an hour, because if it exceeds this time, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist throwing him out of my set."

After speaking, Ye Zhou hung up the phone directly.

About 10 minutes later, Xu Tian's manager ran in from the door, sweating profusely and panting. After coming in, he dragged his artist to Ye Zhou, held his head and bowed to Ye Zhou. bow.

"I'm sorry Director Ye, I'm really sorry." After bowing to Ye Zhou, the manager led Xu Tian to bow to the other staff members of the crew, and said apologetically in his voice, "I'm really sorry everyone, because Xu Tian's relationship delayed everyone. It's time, sorry."

"How about this, let Xu Tian treat everyone to today's afternoon tea and dinner. If you have anything you want to eat, you can suggest to me, and I will..."

Just when he was talking enthusiastically, Ye Zhou interrupted him, and asked in a deep voice, "Is that enough?"

"If you can't solve the problem today, let Xu Tian pack up and leave immediately!"

Xu Tian's manager's voice stopped abruptly. He wiped the sweat from his brow, walked up to Ye Zhou with a smile on his face, and said in a low voice, "Director Ye, I'm really sorry for the trouble I caused you. How about you Shall we go talk?"

The pleading in his eyes annoyed Ye Zhou, but he still didn't say anything, and followed him out of the studio to a remote and quiet corner.

The manager took out the cigarette case and handed Ye Zhou a cigarette, but Ye Zhou didn't pick it up. He was a little embarrassed, stuffed the cigarette into his mouth, and took a puff before making a sound.

"Director Ye, I'm really sorry." The manager smiled wryly, "I understand that you are very dissatisfied with my concealment, but I really can't help it."

Ye Zhou was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger. He just said: "The matter has come to this point, there is no need for an apology. The problem that needs to be solved cannot be solved by an apology."

"According to Xu Tian's state, I don't require him to have any acting skills, but he can't even perform the most basic performances. The crew has been in operation for a month, and only 34 scenes have been filmed in this month."

"On average, one game per day, and a maximum of two games when you are in good condition. You can tell whether the progress is impressive or not." Ye Zhou sighed and looked at the agent, "It's not that I don't give Xu Fei a chance, but... ..."

"He doesn't like movies, and he doesn't put his mind on movies at all. Even if I can really wait for him to shoot slowly, I just don't pay attention. Do you think the audience will pay for the things produced in this way?"

The manager knew that what Ye Zhou told him was the truth, and because it was the truth, he was even more helpless.

After a long silence, the agent finally said, "Why don't you see if this is okay? We can make concessions here, and you can find another actor who can play the leading role to come in and make a double-male lead plot."

Ye Zhou laughed angrily at him, glanced at him, and said, "Let's not talk about how difficult your plan is to operate, just say one thing, do you think Xu Fei deserves the whole crew to change the script and adjust the progress for him?"

"This..." The agent tried to save his respect, but it was meaningless to say more in the face of reality.

Rubbing between his eyebrows, Ye Zhou didn't bother to continue talking nonsense with him, and said directly: "I will bear the liquidated damages, you can take Xu Fei to pack up and go back today."

Temporarily changing the starring role is really familiar. With Xi Yang as the foreshadowing, Ye Zhou found that he has begun to face this catastrophic event for ordinary directors and crews.

The manager was shocked when he heard the words, and shook his head again and again: "Don't, don't, you can't do this, we Xu Fei are not short of the liquidated damages."

Seeing that Ye Zhou had already made up his mind to return the product, the manager really panicked. He thought for a while, and he seemed to have finally made up his mind. He gritted his teeth and said with difficulty: "Xu Fei can return the remuneration given by the crew before. Take it as an apology for you!"

Ye Zhou: "I'd rather pay him back than send him away. Haven't you seen my determination? Needless to say, go back quickly, and take him away immediately after you go back, don't delay the next work. "

"No, you can't catch up with Xu Fei, he..." At this point, the manager's voice paused, and he lowered his voice to Ye Zhou's ear, "He is the only son of Xu Long, the boss of Qianlong Pictures, and he is serious. Prince Qianlong."

Hey, this reputation is really big enough. The number of Qianlong's theaters in China is second only to Jiangshui Films. Now all the previous doubts have been answered.

No wonder Xu Fei is so unmotivated, but his agent has strong professional skills. He has always been respectful to Xu Fei, spared no effort to help him tear up resources, and even decided not to pay him without the artist's consent.

The prince of Qianlong Films would not be interested in such a small amount of remuneration, so he would push it away. Of course, Xu Fei didn't care about this amount, which wasn't even a small amount of money.

But what does this have to do with Ye Zhou? No matter how capable he is or how deep his background is, he can't hide his unprofessionalism and disrespect in the acting industry.

Ye Zhou, on the other hand, hated unprofessional actors the most.

Seeing that Ye Zhou didn't look excited at all after learning about Xu Fei's identity, his manager wiped the sweat off his face, pursed his lips, and said, "Mr. Xu said, as long as you let Xu Fei be the leading actor, When the movie is released in the future, Qianlong will definitely show enough sincerity, no matter what, you won't lose money."

Sincerity, of course, refers to the screening rate of theaters. As a commercial film born to make money, the release time is naturally selected for small and long holidays with a large number of people, such as the National Day and Spring Festival.

But these schedules are also the time when the competition in the domestic film industry is the fiercest every year. The importance of film scheduling is needless to say. A good film without enough film schedules is also difficult to be accepted by the audience.

But even if this kind of short holiday is a bad movie, as long as there are enough movies, and they have certain distinct advantages and specific themes, they will still be very popular.

Just like the "Contemporary Sand Sculpture Youth Appreciation Guide 2" in the Lunar New Year file last year, because of the foreshadowing of the previous work and the willingness of the management to spend money on it, this led to a super high box office despite its poor reputation.

No director dared to say directly that he didn't care about scheduling films. With such fierce competition in the industry, it's not that there are no low-ranking films that stand out from the crowd, but compared to high-ranking films, these types of films are rare and very rare.

Ye Zhou was no exception. There was no doubt that Xu Fei's manager proposed a very attractive condition.

If this condition was changed to another actor, Ye Zhou might have agreed with his nose, but thinking of Xu Fei's amazing lethality during this period, Ye Zhou still didn't let go.

"No need, just as many as you need to line up, you take people away."

Xu Fei's manager was very confident in the price he offered. He never thought that under such a lucrative temptation, Ye Zhou could hold his ground and firmly let Xu Fei leave.

But the facts have proved that Ye Zhou is such a bully, if he doesn't catch his eyes, he will really dare to chase people away.

Now Xu Fei's manager was really in a hurry, he said to Ye Zhou: "Why don't you rush to make a decision, I'll make a call and I'll be back soon."

He spoke quickly, really fast, and came back with a phone in about 5 minutes.

Xu Fei's agent sighed, and said: "I just talked with our President Xu on the phone, and we are willing to take a step back. If Xu Fei's acting is good, we will act according to the original plan. If Xu Fei's acting is as nondescript as before, us……"

"We will no longer interfere with your decision. No matter what you think, we will support you. I hope you can see our sincerity in Qianlong."

"You can do whatever you want?" Ye Zhou asked suspiciously.

"Yes, as long as you can ensure the integrity of his role and make people remember it fresh after watching it, it doesn't matter even if there are fewer scenes. We won't interfere too much."

"We Qianlong are very optimistic about your movie,"

Seeing that he was determined, Ye Zhou weighed it up and said, "Deal!"

The three parties changed the terms of the contract, and since then, Ye Zhou has become the person with the most say in the crew.

Once the contract is signed, it is natural to start practicing.

Ye Zhou discussed with screenwriter Ren Zian for a whole week, and finally successfully finalized the revised script and sent it to Xu Fei.

After Xu Fei read the script, he didn't have any opinion on the adjusted plot, and was even very happy, walking around for several days.

The reason is very simple. After changing the script, although Xu Fei is still the number one actor in the film, the scenes belonging to his role have been cut out a lot.

Why do I have to say a lot, because...

As soon as the hero entered the stage, before he could figure out the rules of the game, he was simply and neatly killed.

Yes, it's fucking dead, the scene of death is very spectacular, the blood plasma bursts, and everything you see is full of blood, it's sour, it's exciting!

As the first character to die in the entire movie, it can be said that it perfectly satisfies Xu Fei's manager's previous request for a role that can still be remembered.

"C3 keep up, what about the make-up team, quickly put on Xiao Xu's make-up, put more blood on the props, the effect I want is tragic and shocking, so don't save money for the crew, just put it on!"

"You don't need to have too many expressions later, just play with other actors normally. When you die, I will remind you. When you see the prompt, take two steps slowly first, and then fall down a little bit. It's almost the same , Remember to supplement the blood plasma, otherwise the pictures will not look good."

Following Ye Zhou's voice, the staff of each group got busy together. After about 15 minutes, they finally started filming again.

Xu Fei and another actor were running fast, and the two were reciting lines while running, talking about the clues of the circus game they had just learned.

When passing the corner, Xu Fei turned his head and exchanged messages with his companions while running, without even noticing that his feet were wrapped in something cold.

In the next second, Xu Fei was quickly pulled up to the sky by the wire. A few seconds later, with a muffled sound, Xu Fei fell from the sky. He landed with his feet first, but those feet were bent into a straight line. He even staggered and took two steps forward because of inertia, and then fell on the prepared green mat as if he lost his strength.

His eyes were wide open, the whites of the eyes with colored contact lenses were almost three times the size of the pupils, and blood was slowly gushing from the eye sockets, nose and ears.

Twitching a few times, biting the blood bag in his mouth, his lips moved as if he wanted to warn his companions, but before he could say anything, the prop plasma sprayed out of his mouth first, and his body moved in a distorted manner. The posture twitched, but there was no more sound.

"Very good! Young man, congratulations on finishing it!"
