Entertainment Superstar Games [Transmigration Book]

Since mid-October, Pei Qi asked Shen Ji to push off his work schedule, slow down the pace, return to life and relax for a while, and prepare for the role in the new drama.During this period, I also read no less than 10 scripts, and none of the film projects I was interested in and further contacted.

Until the appearance of the main male lead movie of "Detective J2".

After the team received the script, because the director and team of the project were very good, according to the highest priority, they sent the script to Pei Qi immediately.

The day Pei Qi got the script, he finished it.

"Detective J2" is about a suspenseful reasoning movie in which a genius detective solves a case. This is the second script.

The first one was released 5 years ago, and the release time at that time coincided with the film schedule of the director Bai Chengping. The film of the director was the box office champion of the year. The box office is only more than 2 million.

Director Gu Weiming, after making this movie, has also made two movies in recent years, one of which has a box office of more than 10 billion, and the reputation of the movie has never collapsed. He is only 43 years old today, quite young, and has a Title: The second leading director Bai Chengping.

Shen Ji added: "After the first movie was launched on the video platform, many viewers felt sorry for the box office of this movie, saying that the schedule was wrong. If the schedule was changed, the box office would definitely exceed this result."

"A #domestic movie box office most regrettable ten movies# ranking vote was launched on the Internet before, and "Detective J" received 10+ votes, ranking 6th. Many netizens said that they owe this movie a movie ticket, so With the excellent word-of-mouth accumulating from the audience of the previous film, if the original cast of the second film returns, it must be highly anticipated by the audience."

The current preparations for the second part, the original cast is basically there, for example: the director, screenwriter, lead actress and several supporting actors will continue to participate in the second part, only the lead actor has been changed.

The script invitation that Pei Qi received was to play the male lead role.

The male lead in the first film was played by Zhang Wenbin. In recent years, he has mainly filmed TV dramas. In the past two years, he married a wife and had children. His appearance and figure have declined. The film industry is no longer what it was a few years ago. Things are getting worse, there is no box office appeal, and the image is no longer the same as before. If you continue to play this role, the charm is not enough, so the film crew has changed.

Before Pei Qi asked Shen Ji to talk about the script, he watched the first part of "Detective J". As soon as Detective J appeared on the stage, he was a genius detective with a full-scale and large size. He solved a serial murder case. The script and characters are very good. It's brilliant, the performance of the actors is average, and the replacement will have little impact on the movie.

The script of the second part is also equivalent to the prequel of the first part. It tells about the origin of Detective J as a famous detective, fills in some of the brain holes in the previous part, and lays the groundwork for the content of the third part.

Pei Qi: "So this movie will be the second one this time, and there are plans for the third and fourth ones later. If you want to make it into a series of movies, you must be very careful in choosing actors."

Shen Ji understands that "Detective J2" is an invincible cake for young actors. According to the box office doubling effect of the series, the box office of the second film will be at least 10 billion+. The most important thing is that if word of mouth is stable, there will be series in the future. The movie is waiting, if anyone can take over, it will be a great addition to the actor's future.

But the investment has increased, and the game among the major investors has also come. Pei Qi is definitely not the only one who received the script invitation.

Pei Qi and Shen Ji were chatting about the script, and received a call from Sikong Jinghuan.

"Did you like the script of "Detective J2"?"

Although it was a question, Pei Qi heard a certain meaning from Sikong Jinghuan's tone, at least he felt that he was interested in accepting the script.

Answered truthfully, "Well, the script is good."

It's a subject he likes. Sikong Jinghuan called to care about it. It should be related to this script. I don't know if it's good news or bad news?

"Sunflower is not involved in the investment of this movie, and as far as I know, both Juli Group and Shengyu Media are involved, and the main investment is Chunjiang Film and Television."

The meaning expressed is that it can't help Pei Qi to win the play.

After ending the call.

Shen Ji heard Pei Qi tell Sikong Jinghuan about the inside information, and was not surprised to learn that the three top players were about to usher in a resource struggle.The good news is that there are fewer movie resources, and there are fewer movie resources for young actors to solo in the play. "Detective J2" is a big pie for young actors. It is normal for so many people to compete for the same pie.

Surprisingly, this is the resource Xie Chunjiang mentioned, right?

Pei Qi was also a little surprised, remembering what Xie Chunjiang said that day:

"I'm talking about a film project that I plan to participate in. The film will start in the first half of next year. The director is one of the best in the film industry. In about a month or two, I will start inviting the leading male actor."

It's all right.

Shen Ji: "I thought he was bragging to get you to take over the show. Now it seems that not only did he not brag, but he was very modest. He was actually the main investor of "Detective J2"."

Hesitantly asked: "Then director Gu Weiming asked you to meet, will you still go?"

This movie has become a power game between several major companies, and the relationship behind it is quite complicated. Pei Qi has no support from the forces behind him, so he has no chance of winning. The most advantageous actor is Song Fang who has performed resource replacement.

Since the director handed over the script in good faith, he proposed to meet again.

Regardless of success or failure, Pei Qi decided: "Go, see you."

The location of the meeting was determined by Pei Qi. Considering the issue of being photographed, the restaurant I booked was driven to the underground parking lot, and I took the elevator directly to the restaurant floor, and reserved a box in advance.

It's all to prevent the paparazzi, and if you don't want to have a meal, you will be listed on the trending search the next day.

Pei Qi and Shen Ji arrived 10 minutes earlier, but when they arrived at the restaurant, the waiter who led them to the box told them that a man had just arrived.

one?Push the door and come in.

There was only one person sitting in the box. Director Gu Weiming himself, without a producer, assistant director or assistant, went to the appointment alone.

After meeting for the first time, after a simple exchange of greetings, the three of them sat down and ordered first.

In fact, when an actor has reached a certain level and has many representative works, there are very few auditions when he takes on a role, and the choice is two-way.

Generally, directors feel that the actor is suitable for a certain role, so they hand over the book, make an appointment to meet in private, and chat with each other about their thoughts on the role. Waiting to boot into the group.

The meeting between Pei Qi and Gu Weiming today is the first step, to see if they can reach a preliminary cooperation intention.

The project of "Detective J2" has not started the second part. It has been delayed for so long, and I have been waiting for the completion of the script. Last year, the script came out and the project officially started. Consider the casting of Detective J.

Because this film is the predecessor of the previous one, and considering that the third and fourth films will be released later, the actors who will play Detective J are finally finalized, and young actors are selected to play the role, and a list is quickly listed , the top three candidates: Pei Qi, Song Fang, Chu Siqin.

The one with the strongest overall strength is Pei Qi, especially in terms of acting skills, ranking first among young actors.Especially considering that the first part of "Detective J" was starred by another actor, no matter whether the performance is popular or not, the audience has preconceived notions, and it is inevitable that they will be put together after being replaced by another actor. In contrast, the actors who played the role are facing a lot of pressure.

Gu Weiming: "Xiao Pei, I can rest assured of your acting skills. I believe you will perform well."

Pei Qi is not only his preferred candidate, but also the No.1 choice of actor in the producer's mind.

However, the actors strongly recommended by the investors are Song Fang and Chu Siqin.

Shen Ji looked at Gu Weiming's hesitant expression, as if he was thinking about how to talk to Pei Qi, thinking that it might have something to do with Xie Chunjiang, right?

The next second, sure enough.

Gu Weiming recalled the past: "Six years ago, when I was filming "Detective J", Chunjiang Film and Television was the first to take the lead in investing and gave me a lot of support. The film was released in a hurry the next year, and the box office was not good. , I didn’t make any money, and Mr. Xie of Chunjiang Film and Television told me that ‘the movie is a good movie, but the timing of its release is not right’, let me not feel guilty.”

"Later, other films I made were successful at the box office, and I would recall this sentence from time to time, which has always given me great encouragement. "Detective J" did not make the investors give up their support for me, so this film The second part of the movie is about to start, and Chunjiang Film and Television has found me again, hoping to continue working on this project together, neither the producer nor I can refuse."

It turned out that this is the case, Pei Qi nodded after hearing this, expressing that he understood, and waited for the next article.

Gu Weiming: "..." Having said so much and mentioned Xie Chunjiang, I hope that Pei Qi can take the initiative to talk about his views on Xie Chunjiang.

Picking up the teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, smashed his mouth, and went straight to the showdown, and tentatively said with a smile: "Xiao Pei, I see you have dinner with Mr. Xie, have you been on the hot search?"

Pei Qi: "Well, we met once and talked about cooperation, but failed to reach a cooperation intention."

The smile on Gu Weiming's face froze. He knew that the cooperation was not reached. Xiao Pei's statement was euphemistic. In fact, he mentioned to Xie Chunjiang that he wanted Pei Qi to star in "Detective J2", but Xie Chunjiang refused on the spot. up.

After thinking about it, he hurriedly searched for help: "It's like this. I think the cooperation was not reached before, maybe the opportunity didn't come. Xiao Pei, look, the main cast of this movie is Chunjiang Film and Television. If there is anything, let's sit down and talk."

"With me here, Mr. Xie will also sell me some thin noodles. Let's talk about any misunderstandings, and everyone will cooperate."

Looking at Pei Qi's face, he couldn't tell whether it was joy or anger, so Gu Weiming picked up the phone, "It's better to hit the sun than choose the day, I'll call Mr. Xie now and ask him to come over."

Xie Chunjiang came quickly, half an hour later, he arrived.

He came with a special assistant, and when he arrived at the door, he straightened his suit with an arrogant expression, and signaled the assistant to open the door for him with his eyes, thinking in his heart: last time we ate together, Pei Qi didn't give me any face at all. The matter of the movie called him over, so he must take a good look at the other party's arrogance.

As a result, he strode in and scanned around, but did not see Pei Qi.

"Old Gu, where are you?"

Gu Weiming raised his head and drank a glass of white, and said in a muffled voice, "I have something to go."

"Leaving? What do you mean?" Xie Chunjiang sat down on the seat next to Gu Weiming, and couldn't digest the meaning of Gu Weiming's words for a while. Was it what he thought?

"Tell me this movie is not suitable, and we will cooperate next time." After finishing speaking, he stared at Xie Chunjiang with burning eyes, poured a glass of white and put it in front of Xie Chunjiang, "Mr. Pei Qi will act."

Xie Chunjiang looked sullen, drank the glass of white wine, and said displeasedly: "Old Gu, do you know who is behind Pei Qi? It's Sunflower! There is no interest in our circle, so why give resources to an outsider?"

"Song Fang also has acting skills and popularity." As for Pei Qi, Xie Chunjiang cursed in his heart: Damn, I've never seen such a crazy actor.

Pei Qi and Shen Ji went back to the car.

Shen Ji: "Are we leaving like this? Have we missed a good resource? I see that director Gu Changming is quite optimistic about you, and he sincerely wants to invite you to play the role. Maybe we can meet Xie Chunjiang, and there is room for change?"

Pei Qi's mood was not affected by the dinner, and he smiled slightly: "For this movie project, Chunjiang Film and Television is the main investment, and Juli Group and Shengyu Media are also participating in the 'bidding'. Sikong Jinghuan hinted, you and I know it too."

But I still came to see the director Gu Changming... Unfortunately, Gu Changming has no decision-making power.

It sounds a little ridiculous, the director can't decide his own actors, but to be precise, it's not that Gu Changming has no right to speak. With Gu Changming's current director status, he can also attract other investments. In the final analysis, there are intertwined interests. There are all kinds of messy strategic cooperation behind a film project, and the director is also a part of the interest.

So after learning about the situation, Pei Qi made a decisive decision and withdrew from the competition.

He especially didn't want to see Xie Chunjiang's face. He had never seen anyone's face. There was no such thing as wronging himself in order to win a role.

Shen Ji knew that Pei Qi had always been very proud, and put aside the real world, and immediately terminated the contract and quit when he found out that he was cheated after the filming started. He didn't give face to the number one director. It was just an interesting movie, so how could it make Pei Qi bow down.

Forget it, this matter is over.

Leave the stage of competition to Song Fang and Chu Siqin, let's see who can finally win the film resources of this big hero?
