Euthanasia

Liu Zhiwei looked free, but Xu Ting was very busy.In the past few days, Xu Ting has learned about Liu Zhiwei's deeds in the past ten years. In fact, the most important thing is the previous two years.Before becoming Liu Zhiwei's agent, Xu Ting also investigated him, but the results were far less than what he got after becoming his agent now.After thoroughly understanding Liu Zhiwei's past experiences, Xu Ting began to find new projects for him.

Liu Zhiwei has made his debut for ten years, and he does not have an advantage in finding some dramas that only recruit newcomers. However, Liu Zhiwei can't reach some roles that require celebrity positions. As a result, there are very few scripts that Liu Zhiwei can actually act in. And in the scripts that can be acted in, there are even fewer people who want him to attract the attention of many people.

Xu Ting and Liu Zhiwei met again in the coffee shop near Liu Zhiwei's home.It's just that the two of them are familiar with each other this time, and it is somewhat inconvenient to talk about things in an open public place, so Liu Zhiwei booked a small private room in a cafe.

Xu Ting spread a part of the script on the table, and threw out a pile of USB flash drives and a stack of notebooks, which shocked Liu Zhiwei.

"This is the script," Xu Ting pointed to Liu Zhiwei in the same way, "This is the list of actors who have been confirmed for this audition, their respective salaries in other dramas recently, and the salary standard of this drama...This is some of the other roles. audition data."

Liu Zhiwei had seen the first thing, but Liu Zhiwei was shocked when he said the second thing.It's not easy to check the salaries of other actors in a movie. What Xu Ting checked was not a few actors, but all the audition actors!

Since it is an online drama, there are nearly twenty people on this list, from students who have just graduated to actors who have been up and down for several years, from the [-]th to the [-]th and [-]th tier, and even the third and fourth tiers are competing.And Xu Ting listed all their recent dramas.

If this does not surprise Liu Zhiwei, the most astonishing thing is the third one.

The audition materials for other roles are generally not made public in any production crew, Xu Ting can get it, it only shows one thing - he has connections or background.

No matter how dull and ignorant Liu Zhiwei was, he realized this at this moment—his agent must be better than Hu Ge, and more than a little bit better.

Seeing Liu Zhiwei lost in thought, Xu Ting knocked on the table: "You read the script first."

Liu Zhiwei reacted suddenly, "Ah": "Now?"

Xu Ting said: "You only need to stay in the hospital for five hours a day, right? Now let's see how much time you won't be wasted."

Liu Zhiwei quickly waved his hand and said, "That's not what it means," and scanned it quickly with his head buried.

After reading the script, Liu Zhiwei immediately realized why Xu Ting chose this script.

This is a rare suspense unit drama in China. There are only 13 participants in the whole script, and there is no need for group performances. Among these 13 people, there are three cannon fodder roles, and almost all other roles have a considerable proportion.

The production cost of the whole drama is very small. Since it is a web drama with only 15 episodes, the people participating in it will certainly not have a lot of celebrities, but it is indeed an eye-catching drama that is easy to shape characters and actors themselves.

Everyone has their own identities and roles in the play, but they have one thing in common, that is, they were or are playmates with each other, some of them finally came together, and some of them were out of touch with everyone.In this unit drama, in each episode, someone will quit the game by "death" because they lose the game they are forced to join, and only one person will be left in the end.

This person must be the protagonist.

But what Xu Ting fought for Liu Zhiwei was not the protagonist, but the third last person who quit the game - Liang Junheng.

"'Liang Junheng' is a very suitable character for you to build your fan base," Xu Ting tapped the script with his fingers and said, "Mature career, rich money, high IQ, and infatuated with girls."

Liu Zhiwei has also acted in many movies, and he knows some routines. Such a male second is indeed very popular in the eyes of the audience.

"But I chose him not because of his strengths, but because of his shortcomings," Xu Ting said, "He is sensitive, thinks highly of himself, respects on the surface, and despises his former classmates in his heart, and he is also—— addiction."

Liu Zhiwei froze for a moment, then suddenly flipped through the script again.

In fact, it is not obvious in the script. Liang Junheng concealed his unusual hobby so well that Liu Zhiwei didn't even notice it when he quickly read the script for the first time.

Xu Ting said: "This is a very unique role, I hope you can give it a try."

Can Liu Zhiwei still say bad?When he was under Brother Hu, no one asked him: "Do you want to try this role?" Usually, Brother Hu directly threw the notice to him and told him to leave immediately.

This time it was neither a sideshow nor a stand-in, it was a very serious and suitable role, Liu Zhiwei nodded his head like a chicken pecking at rice, and said "yes" more than a dozen times.

Xu Ting pointed to the USB drive on the table and said to Liu Zhiwei: "These are the audition records of other characters in this drama group, you should go back and take a look."

Liu Zhiwei quickly agreed again.

"Okay, now let's talk about the issue of salary and your competitors," Xu Ting said, "Do you know Zhang Chengqian?" His finger pointed to a name.

Liu Zhiwei nodded: "I know, it's become popular recently."

"It's been popular for two years," Xu Ting said. "He's been acting in TV dramas before, but the last one was a movie. It shows that he's started to go to movies. His net worth is much higher than the asking price of the crew. Coming to this crew is enough to show how much he likes this script and this role."

Liu Zhiwei's throat was a little dry, he took a sip of tea and said, "Then, can I win?"

Xu Ting pushed his glasses and said, "The biggest advantage you have over him is that you have a film background from the very beginning. In this respect, he is your junior. As long as you play your best performance, the crew will be even stronger between you and him." Take that into consideration."

"But... isn't this a TV series?" Liu Zhiwei himself started to worry.

"The crew of the film crew is here—what did you see?" Xu Ting threw the script to Liu Zhiwei again.

Liu Zhiwei hesitated for a while, looked carefully, and opened his mouth in surprise: "This—"

"That's right." Xu Ting took the script back again, "It's the crew of the movie. The director was originally making movies, but because the investment was not enough, he changed the movie into an online drama, but you and Zhang Chengqian, in his eyes Li, maybe you can do better."

Liu Zhiwei's heart beat faster again. He stared at Xu Ting, only to see Xu Ting pointing out another name: "Lin Hua, a rookie who has just debuted for half a year, is very competitive."

"Why has he acted so much!" Liu Zhiwei's eyes widened when he saw the names on the list.

"He has a good face and a lot of fans. Many production crews have invited him. He is just when he is famous. Of course, it is best to let the screens and TV screens be filled with him." Xu Ting rolled his eyes and said.

It was the first time Liu Zhiwei saw Xu Ting make such an emotional move, and couldn't help laughing.

Xu Ting named a few more people one after another, and their worth was more or less higher than the salaries offered by the film crew. Xu Ting said to Liu Zhiwei, "I told the investors, you don't need money to make this film."

"Huh?" Liu Zhiwei was stunned.Then he was afraid that Xu Ting might misunderstand, so he nodded repeatedly: "I understand, I understand, it's okay, it's okay."

Xu Ting: "...Because this is your first play, I must let you be selected as much as possible, understand?"

Liu Zhiwei's chick pecks rice: "I understand, I understand."

Xu Ting always felt that something was wrong: "... If you can't support your life, I can help you first..."

Liu Zhiwei: "It's okay, my side job is quite profitable."

Xu Ting: "...do you have a side job??"

Liu Zhiwei: "Don't worry, it won't interfere with my main business!"

Xu Ting: "...Let me ask, what is your side job?"

Liu Zhiwei thumped, thinking about the confidentiality issue for a while: "... chef?"
