Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

Wang Chuhong took a deep look at Yang Li, "Of course there is a salary, but it won't be very high."

Yang Li felt blessed in an instant, "I don't think it's too little, but it doesn't matter if I don't give it, really!"

Unfortunately, this realization came a bit late.

Yang Li regretted that he asked about the salary just now.

There is no way, the tavern at home has just been renovated, Yang Li now has 3000 yuan left for his whole body, poor.I don't know how long this filming will take, so I have to send some snacks and drinks when the time comes.

Of course, it would be even better if there is salary relief.

Wang Chuhong, it's the first time I've seen an artist ask for a salary in such a grand manner.Most newcomers don't dare to ask. After all, if there is a filming, it means that they are popular. If they are popular, do they still point to the salary of three melons and two dates?

How much does a newcomer get paid?

But Yang Li dared.

"Little Lili, why did you enter the entertainment industry?" Wang Chuhong was a little curious.

"To be famous." Yang Li said honestly.

"Hey, since it's for the sake of being famous, you shouldn't worry too much about the pay. Sometimes even if there is no pay or a subsidy, you still have to pay, you know?" Wang Chuhong taught earnestly.

"Sister Wang, I didn't finish my sentence." Yang Li sighed, "It's not wrong for me to enter the entertainment industry to be famous, but only after I become famous can I advertise and sell my wine. So, in fact, I entered the entertainment industry. The purpose is to make money.”

Yang Li rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "Not to mention, the entertainment industry really makes a lot of money, more than I make wine."

That is, how can the entertainment industry not make money?

Wait, I didn't mean to say this!

"What you said is very true." Wang Chuhong sighed, "Dreams also need bread. But you are now considered to be a member of the team with funding, so your salary will not be very high. There are only about seven or eight thousand episodes, and only one episode in the early stage. Will pay 30.00%, you know?"

"No problem, no problem." It's a lie to say that Yang Li doesn't care about money, but it's better than nothing, "I...I will act well, and try to make the boss earn a lot of money, I will be able to afford it It's my salary." Yang Li vowed.

No, you don't have to be too sorry for the salary of seven or eight thousand episodes.

Wang Chuhong patted Yang Li on the shoulder, "Very good, you go back and wait for the news, I will tell the producer, and the script will be sent to you. Zhou Cheng will discuss the rest."

"Thank you, Miss Wang."

"You're welcome." Wang Chuhong thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing wrong with Yang Li's behavior.At least he is honest and willing to work, and he doesn't have any other messy ideas if he doesn't want to be a monster.

Where can this artist be perfect?If Yang Li had a particularly high EQ, he wouldn't be in this state.

It would be great to have someone like Yang Li, but if it was too perfect, Wang Chuhong would not be willing to sign it. A small temple can’t accommodate a big Buddha, and the studio can only have Zheng Wushu’s voice at the moment!

After Wang Chuhong left, Yang Li felt a little belatedly depressed.

"Brother Zhou, I made a mistake again." Yang Li couldn't help punching himself, "I said this without thinking, and then I regretted it. In fact, I shouldn't have asked, hey. "

"It's okay." Zhou Cheng didn't think there was anything wrong, "People also have to improve slowly, and it's not you who are especially good at dealing with people and things all of a sudden. You should be paid after you work. If you don't want to make money, you still come to filming do what?"

People who say they don't care about paychecks are because they care about more and more important things.

Wouldn't it be good to just say what you want like Yang Li?

Anyway, Zhou Cheng felt that he liked it quite a bit, so Wang Chuhong should also be quite rare.

A simple person is easy to control, Yang Li is so good, he is obedient, well-behaved and hardworking, and he missed a chance to fly.

Emotional intelligence is such a thing, teach it slowly.

Zhou Cheng is still a very good manager, and now he has a studio as a backer, so he is even more at home in doing things to save him.

Soon, Zhou Chengcheng negotiated a series of contracts with the producer of "You Long Mentioning the Criminal", including the middle schedule and the possibility of asking for leave, etc., and also won a nice lounge for Yang Li .

Now how do you say that Yang Li is also an investor, an artist in Zheng Wushu's studio.There are so many people in the entertainment circle who step on the low and praise the high. If Yang Li is particularly good-tempered, he will be the same as others in everything and cause troubles easily. It's better to put the conditions out from the beginning.

This does not look at the face of the monk or the face of the Buddha. With the improvement of external conditions, others can look up to Yang Li a few times.

Therefore, before going to the crew, Zhou Cheng decided to give Yang Li a good word.

"First of all, when someone asks about your studio, you must never say anything about it. Of course, you can't say anything about our boss. Those people make waves when there is no wind. If you say something wrong, I'm afraid our boss will ask you tomorrow. Go up the hot search." Everything about the studio is currently a secret, as long as Zheng Wushu doesn't say it publicly, it's even more impossible to talk about their signing.

"Brother Zhou, I'm not stupid. I definitely wouldn't say such a thing." Yang Li replied helplessly to Zhou Cheng, "I know what to say and what not to say. I didn't say anything when Duan Chi asked me. Woolen cloth."

"Well, I just want to remind you again." Zhou Cheng nodded, "Don't worry too much. Come on, let's talk about the second point."

"Secondly, it's relatively simple. Don't promise others anything casually, and ask me first if you have any uncertainties." Zhou Cheng continued, "I'm afraid you are soft-hearted, and you will be happy if others say a few more words." Go help someone."

"Understood." Yang Li thought for a while, and knew his own problem, "I'm not the same as before, and I definitely won't help others just because of what they say."

"Yes, it's okay if it helps, but if it doesn't help, maybe people will hate you for getting in the way." Zhou Cheng agreed, "The third thing is that you want to raise your aura."

"Momentum? Bring it up?" The first two points are easy to say, but what does the last sentence mean?

Yang Li immediately put on a surprisingly serious look, and asked Zhou Cheng in a rough voice, "Brother Zhou, is that so?"

"...No." Zhou Cheng almost didn't laugh when he saw Yang Li's serious appearance, "I mean, do you want to be cold-hearted? You can't just hang out with others."

"Will this prevent me from getting along well with the crew?" Yang Li was a little puzzled, "If Gao Leng said, everyone would ignore me."

"In the past, you needed to have a good relationship with others, but now half of the investment of this crew is from our studio. You are the boy under the God of Wealth, who would be too stupid not to have a good relationship with you?" Zhou Cheng flipped Rolling eyes, "What I mean by coldness is not ignoring people, I mean you have to be polite and give people a sense of distance. This way they won't bother you, and you can also save a lot of trouble and concentrate on filming You see, when filming "Sword Family" before, did the boss take the initiative to chat with someone about personal matters?"

Those who have a sense of distance and are polite make it easier for people not to know the details.In recent years, many producers and directors have spent money from investors, and many have pocketed their own pockets.Even though Yang Li came here to film, he was also expressing an attitude - don't go too far.

If Yang Li's character is particularly easy to bully, when the time comes to make money in the middle, he will have to blame Yang Li.It's not like there's no such precedent, and it's just a dumb loss at that time.

On the contrary, if Yang Li had been polite at the beginning and looked shrewd, the producer would have been much more honest, and would not have changed the scene casually.After all, many people are not repeat customers of the picture, but a big deal. If you think that investing in film and television dramas only needs to spend money and don’t care about other things, it would be a big mistake.

In the final analysis, how about a TV series, in addition to actors, screenwriters and directors, there is more of a game between investors and producers.

But there are fewer good producers than good directors, and it depends on luck whether you can foresee it.

How should I put it, these two dramas starring Yang Li are also invested by the studio, so if they can't come up, the studio will lose money.In the future, Yang Li's resources will still be directed at the studio. A good beginning will lead to a good follow-up!

"It seems... really not!" Yang Li thought about it for a while, and it was really hard to imagine Teacher Zheng getting along with them.

Teacher Zheng is like a person from another world. Even if they are filming in one place, everyone dare not go up to strike up a conversation casually. Even asking for mutual follow on Weibo has to hesitate for a long time!

"All in all, just remember it well. We will go to the crew of "Youlong Ti the Criminal Officer" in a few days. This time, most of the venues are in the film and television city, and the number of times we go out to shoot scenes is not much, so you have to find out who you are with the crew. The way of getting along with the personnel, I will change the way when I go to other big crews in the future."

Yang Li seemed to understand, but Brother Zhou wouldn't cheat him anyway, so let's do it.

What Zhou Cheng likes the most is Yang Li's sensibility. As long as you tell him well in advance, even if you don't like it, you will try your best to do it, and if you can't do it, you will say it.

The first leading actor of "You Long Mentioning the Criminal" is Chen Hao, 31 years old this year, with an upright face. He has acted as a special soldier before, and he has a reassuring upright appearance, so he will play the male lead Wang Xiaoshuang. A descendant of the former royal family, today's criminal judge.

There are three parts in the movie "You Long Mention the Criminal". The first part tells the story of Wang Xiaoshuang recruiting his teammates to solve the case together. The second part tells the story of Wang Xiaoshuang's friends, that is, the relationship between the seventh prince Chu Shuiyun played by Yang Li and the prince. Fighting openly and secretly, this third part is naturally about the mystery of Wang Xiaoshuang's life experience.

At the beginning, these three films became popular because they combined elements such as solving crimes in ancient costumes, Jianghu Chaotang, and sadomasochistic love.

I heard that this movie was originally planned to be made into seven parts, but unfortunately martial arts declined later, and the third part, which everyone had high expectations for, did not perform well at the box office, so it was shelved.Now that it has been changed to an online drama, the plot will continue to use the seven stories that were originally set.

The main task of the screenwriters is to change the original script to make it smoother, or add some drama, delete some old routines, etc.It is precisely because of the original story that Zheng Wushu's studio invested 3000 million, accounting for almost half of the investment.

The script of "You Long Mentioning the Criminal" is tentatively scheduled for [-] episodes, and Yang Li basically has roles from the second episode to the last episode.But, after seeing the script sent by the scripts, Yang Li's heart that was full of anticipation was broken into pieces.

In the movie, the Seventh Prince Chu Shuiyunyi Bo Yuntian, although a little delicate, he can be called a young hero.As a result, this script turned Chu Shuiyun into a person who would not hesitate to use Wang Xiaoshuang to kill the woman who admired him in order to fight for the throne?

In the current popular words, it is "blackening", and the blackening is thorough enough.

No, this is not Chu Shuiyun in his memory!

Yang Li was crying bitterly, feeling that his childhood idol dream was about to be shattered.

In this regard, the screenwriter said, "This is written by the original screenwriter, which is none of my business!"

In the previous martial arts movies, I was ashamed to say that I was a martial arts without doing something inscrutable.In fact, the previous three movies also hinted that Chu Shuiyun is not as honest as he imagined, but it was not filmed because of space constraints. Now that the filming can be completed, all the settings will naturally be released.

Besides, they also signed a contract when they bought the copyright, at least to ensure that it is more than 80.00% similar to the script they gave, and they cannot change the character design casually.

Even if the current screenwriters want to change it, it depends on whether they agree or not!

Now that the remakes are getting worse one by one, they must make various restrictions in order not to ruin their own brand.But the advantage is that people are willing to help promote it, which makes many movie fans feel relieved and reliable, but it saves a lot of scolding.

But Yang Li could already predict how he would be scolded when the show was launched.

After all, he played a childhood god into a villain.

"Little fence, you have to think the same way. People's movie version of Zhuyu is the first, if you want to break through, you must act differently. Now the villain is also very popular. I have already seen it, and you are the most popular in the whole crew. You look good, and your appearance will be the best when the time comes, and your acting skills are qualified, so you will definitely attract fans." Zhou Cheng said comfortingly.

"With my looks, I can still be the best-looking in the whole crew?" Why is Yang Li so worried?

"...Come on, look in the mirror, don't you look ugly?" Zhou Cheng's expression was tangled, "Believe me, your appearance is still okay. You used to think you were average because you were ugly, don't you know? ? When you were filming in the past, the hero asked the stylist to make you look ugly? The makeup is floating on your face, so it’s strange to look good?"

Anyway, he is also someone who can be signed by Zheng Wushu. Yang Li is not only a top-notch handsome guy, but he is also above average.

In the entertainment circle, messing around with appearance is just the bottom line, how to display your charm on screen is more important?Acting skills can be plastic surgery. If the acting skills are poor, no matter how good-looking she is, she will be a wooden beauty. The competition for this kind of vase-shaped actors is fierce, and Yang Li, who has an emotional intelligence, can't even think about it!

"Apart from me and the male lead, the crew doesn't have any other good-looking supporting roles?" Yang Li was worried, "This online drama, you have to look at the appearance at the beginning, otherwise it may not be able to attract even the first wave of audience. "

"Well, the actress is better looking than the heroine, but it's bland and boring. It's the girl next door. As for the other supporting actresses...cough, they're all internet celebrities."

Net red face, commonly known as can't remember, no characteristics.

Yang Li probably understood the level of the crew.

"Okay, it's not a super online drama. The biggest fan is Chen Hao. But Chen Hao is old and doesn't have any outstanding works. Although he is more popular than you at the moment, he will be sure when "Sword Family" airs. You are more popular than him, so in general, you are the last person the crew can't mess with, so relax!"

Yang Li felt that this heart could not be relaxed.

No matter how much Zhou Cheng talked about, after all, he had heard about it, and like him, he hadn't actually seen it.

Yang Li has filmed unpopular web dramas before, so he knows how bad the configuration of web dramas can be.Therefore, for this crew, I always feel a little uneasy, for fear that the boss's investment will be in vain.

"By the way, how much money did our studio invest in it?" Yang Li asked a lot, "I heard that the threshold for online dramas is high now, so it costs 800 million."

Now it is not popular for a single investor to vote alone, but to jointly invest with several companies.If a web drama doesn’t have three or four companies co-investing, it’s embarrassing to sell it to the website.

"Eight million?" Zhou Cheng was stunned for a moment, "How is that possible? Chen Hao alone received a salary of 800 million for this drama. Your salary should be high, but you are not popular now. Our studio has a high proportion of investment, so the salary is just a little bit more interesting. The salary of the entire cast and actors is more than this amount, and another investor invested 600 million more in order to bring in an extra female number two!"

A female No. 700 is worth [-] million. The family of these investors are all bankers?

"Then...then how much did our studio invest in? The price of my male number two is..."

"Our studio seems to have invested 3000 million. This is still the first wave. The follow-up will definitely exceed expectations, and maybe we will have to add more. Although it is not enough for the category of super online dramas, it is still top-notch in online dramas. "Zhou Cheng sighed, and now the super online dramas are all cast by the popular Xiaosheng Xiaohua, and they are paid a lot of money and popular, so that a bunch of TV dramas come to grab their jobs.

Three... 3000?

Yang Li was shocked by this number, his mind was full of 3000 million!

3000 million!

Oh My God.

Yang Li felt that he couldn't count how many zeros were behind the 3000 million?

In contrast, his salary of seven or eight thousand episodes is really just for fun. Maybe people didn't even think about giving it at first. After all, the investment is so high, do you still care about this salary?

"Little fence, calm down, it's only 3000 million. If you make movies in the future, hundreds of millions will abound."

"No, no, such a high investment for a small online drama? Our studio only produced 3000 million, what about other companies?"

"Our company accounts for almost half of it. Besides, the 3000 million yuan is not only the production cost, but also the later publicity and promotion, cough, and the trolls and clicks." Zhou Cheng said in a low voice, "Network The dramas are all clicks, and we have to watch them too."

"Then...then how much of this money can be spent on production?" Yang Li was very distressed.

"Our studio has relatively high requirements, so don't worry, most of them are in the producer." Zhou Cheng reassured, "The two of us just came to be supervisors by the way. If we find that they don't work hard on the production, we will stop Just invest."

Yang Li nodded with difficulty, and accepted his role as "supervisor" without hesitation.

After all, this is 3000 million yuan, not 3000 yuan!

When Yang Li thought that his role might be worth as much as 3000 million yuan, he felt that he was "moving forward with a heavy burden".

... was about to be overwhelmed by the amount of money.

"I will work hard." That's all Yang Li could say.

The director of "You Long Mentioning the Criminal" had received news from the producer early on, knowing that the second male lead of the show was a new artist named Yang Li who was signed by Zheng Wushu's studio.

The director was very confident in Zheng Wushu's vision, so he ran to find some online dramas that Yang Li had acted in before.

I have to say, it was quite difficult to find, and it took a lot of effort.

After watching it, the director's admiration for Zheng Wushu is less than two points.

This Yang Li's acting skills...really...really lacking in style!

I can't say it's bad, but it's quite satisfactory. After watching the drama he acted in, I can't remember that there is such a person in the drama?If your acting skills are particularly bad, at least you are still bad enough to make people remember, but Yang Li is clearly a routine acting, hahaha when you are happy, wow wow when you are sad, and roll your eyes when you are worried.

Mediocre, very mediocre!

Can such a person really play the role of Chu Shuiyun, who is upright in the early stage, sinister in the middle stage, and repentant in the late stage?

The director was full of anxiety.

However, the studio has invested money, even if this is an ancestor, they have to pay for it.

If the other party really doesn't perform well, hey, I can only rely on editing to continue my life.

Until Yang Li came to the crew, the director lowered his expectations.

The smaller the hope, the smaller the disappointment will be when the time comes.

Contrary to the director's depressed mood is the producer.

This Yang Li is at least the first artist signed by Zheng Wushu. If nothing else, this gimmick will come with him. When the time comes, he will take advantage of Zheng Wushu's enthusiasm and make a good show, and he will always be able to deceive some audiences. When selling to the website, the website also has to look at Zheng Wushu's face, right?

The other investors also repeatedly urged the actors who were stuffed in, that Yang Li should make good friends if he can make good friends, and don't do evil if he can't make good friends.At least for now, Zheng Wushu has signed him alone. Either this person has the ability or this person has a strong background. Before he knows the situation, he cannot be offended.

Chen Hao was also told back and forth by his manager not to play big games with Yang Li, since Zheng Wushu was standing behind him, they couldn't afford to mess with him.

The day when Yang Li came to the film crew was actually neither too early nor too late. Anyway, everyone didn’t know him very well, and there were things to say when he came early or late, so why not just arrive on time according to the time sent by the director.

At present, Yang Li doesn't have any assistants, and it's too embarrassing to bring him when his popularity doesn't rise. It's the same when he becomes popular.

"Hello, you are Brother Yang, you look better than in the photo." The assistant director is a man in his early thirties, and he looks kind.

Yang... Brother Yang?

Yang Li blinked, feeling a little agitated inexplicably.

Is this the treatment of bringing capital into the group?It's only the first day, and someone calls him Brother?

Anyway, let me waver for a while.
