Chapter 10 Determining the Male and Female Leads and Buying a Car
In the next two weeks, Wei Yang began to work at both the school and the film crew, working as a student on one side and an examiner on the other.

He was a little afraid that he would not turn the corner one day, and pointed to the teacher to introduce himself...

While busy, the progress of the crew of "The Best of Us" is also constantly moving forward.

On April 4th, Wei Yang passed the audition and officially confirmed to play the role of the male second road Xinghe.

On April 4, most of the supporting roles have been basically confirmed, and most of the main creators have been confirmed.

Starting from April 4rd, the crew began to conduct the final screening of the shortlisted to the final interviewers for the remaining main creative roles, mainly male and female protagonists.

Blue Whale, meeting room

The general manager Xia Cong personally sits in the town, and even Zheng Dong, who has not shown up for a long time, also attends the meeting this time, which shows how much he attaches importance to this meeting.

"The school has already been contacted. It is Chongming Middle School. The school leaders are very supportive of our filming..."

"Relevant props have already started to be produced, and they must all be completed before starting the machine..."

"The shooting team has basically been formed, and we will gather in late May to go through the shooting plan together..."

"The hotel and lunch boxes have been settled, and there are still four cars left to maneuver at any time..."

"The expenditure budget has been preliminarily estimated. Without calculating the actor's salary and other miscellaneous costs, it is about 450 million..."

Before choosing to discuss, each department first reported the situation, and Xia Cong and Liu Junjie were still very satisfied.

"Everyone, work harder. In the middle and late June, we must start the machine on time."

Some people finished leaving, while others stayed here, waiting for the following meeting, the assistant director presided over, manipulated the computer to click on two pictures on the projector screen.

"After a series of competitions, Shu Chang and Yang Rong are the last two roles we negotiated."

"Shu Chang's advantage is that he became famous at a young age, has excellent acting skills, and has a certain reputation, especially the "Lotus Lantern" and "Jingwei Filling the Sea" starring her in the past two years have a good influence.

The downside is that it's expensive, because our drama is on schedule with her, and Shu Sang's agent offered 3.5 per episode to come to us. "

The role of the heroine Geng Geng is about 20 episodes, a single episode is 3.5 yuan, and the total is 70 yuan. This is not a small amount for the small cost of "The Best of Us".

Xia Cong pondered for a moment, then knocked on the table: "Say the next one."

The assistant director introduced: "Yang Rong also has certain works and popularity. The disadvantage is that it is not very popular. The advantage is that Director Liu and screenwriter Wei are very optimistic, and the salary is not expensive. The price of a single episode does not exceed 5000 at most."

Things have come to this extent, in fact, it is already a good choice.

Yang Rong has the approval of the director and screenwriter, and her own salary is only one-seventh of Shu Chang's, or even lower, so there is no reason for the crew not to use her.

Even Zheng Dong, who is rich and powerful, did not say anything else. He is a coal boss, but he is not a big wronged person. The flowers that should be spent should be saved in the province.

Even if the female lead is settled, the competition for the male lead will be more intense. There are more than five finalists, each with their own advantages and supporters.

After some discussion, Xia Cong was at loggerheads and looked at Liu Junjie.

"Director Liu, what do you mean?"

"I agree with Xiao Wei, choose Cui Peng."

Xia Cong was not surprised. During this time, Wei Yang and Liu Junjie stayed together every day, communicating with each other, and it was normal to reach an agreement.

"Cui Peng..."

Xia Cong muttered the name and looked at Wei Yang: "Tell me your opinion."

"Handsome, looks young, can act like a teenager, has a restrained temperament, fits Yu Huai's personality, good acting skills, and has a certain reputation because of "Children Riding the Dragon" and "Legend of Chu Liuxiang", but the film salary is not good. Not too expensive...”

Wei Yang obviously had a draft in mind, and after expressing his thoughts, he added a summary at the end.

"He may not be the most suitable, but he has the best comprehensive conditions at present."

"Director Zheng?"

Xia Cong asked Zheng Dong for instructions again, and the latter nodded indifferently: "Just him."

The boss spoke, the director and the screenwriter supported it, and there was no doubt about the choice of the heroine. The remaining few were better selected, and the battle was resolved in a hurry.

After discussing business matters, Zheng Dong, who was originally unhappy, immediately cheered up: "Everyone has worked hard today, let's go, I treat guests, and we will sing K in the nightclub."

There was thunderous applause immediately at the scene, and team building started after the meeting. This is the real entrepreneur who is loved by employees...

...

In the early morning, Wei Yang, whose face was flushed, returned to the rental house, sat on the sofa and closed his eyes to rest.

Lao Zheng, a bastard, was poured by him last time, but this time he brought two winemen to help him punch.

Although Wei Yang fought three against one, he still defeated Zheng Dong and his two strong supporters in the end, plus a few sycophants who licked Lao Zheng to make a fool of him.

But killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating two hundred, Wei Yang stayed in the nightclub for two hours before he was able to return home independently.

"came back?"

The light in the living room came on, and Li Jiahang, who woke up after hearing the noise, looked at Wei Yang, knowing that his good brother could drink, he couldn't help frowning.

"That's how much you've been drinking."

"I don't remember either, it's okay, just sleep on it."

"It must be a group of people feeding you. Damn this group of people must be sick. If you have the ability to single out."

Li Jiahang was indignant, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "There is still honey you bought at home, I'll go and mix some for you to hangover."

Turning around and entering the kitchen, within 2 minutes, Li Jiahang brought a cup of warm honey water, Wei Yang took it, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Ugh…"

"Oh what?"

"The first person in my life who served me honey water to hangover was a man. Why didn't I think of finding a female roommate to share the room with?"

What Wei Yang waited for was Li Jiahang's middle finger. He laughed and drank the honey water in the cup.

"I don't have class tomorrow afternoon, so accompany me to the second-hand car market. I'm running around here, and it's really inconvenient without a car."

Li Jiahang knew a little about Wei Yang's savings, and there was only one possibility for him to be able to afford a car.

"The salary has come down?"

"15 episodes, 2000 yuan per episode."

As for the price, the crew took care of it to some extent, but it did not exceed the market price range. After all, the role is here, so it is impossible to get it too low.

It can also be seen that actors make more money than screenwriters!
Fortunately, actors and screenwriters have not opened up too much distance, at least in the field of TV dramas.

But it will be different in a few years. Even if the top screenwriters get a few million, it is only a fraction of the salary of the stars.

Wei Yang wants to buy a house in Shanghai before graduation, pointing to selling scripts, exhausted enough to achieve tenosynovitis, but if he becomes an actor, it's hard to say.

It doesn't have to be particularly popular, just like Shu Chang, a drama earns hundreds of thousands of dollars, and with the current housing prices in Shanghai, it is not difficult to buy a house.

"This drama earned tens of thousands of dollars."

Li Jiahang is a little envious, he only has 5 episodes, in this case, the price of a single episode is usually a bit more expensive, but it is only 1000 for a single episode.

A total of 5000 yuan, barely earning back the rent.

He also understands why Wei Yang told him not to worry about having no money and no computer, the feelings are waiting for him here.

...

The next day, Wei Yang took Li Jiahang to the second-hand car market. Together with the transfer fee, he bought a second-hand white Jetta at a price of 1.2, which he could drive back on the same day.

The speed was so fast that Wei Yang, who had waited two years for the Shanghai license in his previous life, had mixed feelings.

Wei Yang can drive, but he doesn't have a driver's license now. Li Jiahang got his driver's license in high school, but he doesn't know much about driving.

The two of them drove in reverse, changing to Li Jiahang in urban areas where people checked, and Wei Yang in remote places where no one checked.

But this is not a common practice. Wei Yang has already called his family and asked him to get a driver's license and send it over. The supervision is not strict now, especially in a small place like his hometown. As long as he has connections and money, this matter is not difficult to handle.

Different from the existence of bad streets in later generations, today's cars are still valuable and belong to a kind of luxury.

Therefore, it is a very happy and even proud thing for young people to be able to buy a car independently, even if it is just a second-hand broken Jetta.

Wei Yang was fine, but Li Jiahang couldn't help but drive him back to school to show off to his roommates.

Sure enough, He Lingfeng, Ma Xin and the rest of the students were envious, not because they envied Wei Yang for having a car, but because they envied him for buying the car themselves.

Don't say it's a Jetta, it's just a small broken motorcycle, and it's cool to pay for it yourself!

Enough showing off, Wei Yang and the two are ready to go home, someone wants to go out of school to surf the Internet, ask Wei Yang to wait for them.

This is nothing, but there are too many people who want to surf the Internet in the car, and there are not enough seats.

So, they squeezed themselves together, sitting in the arms of Li Jiahang, the co-pilot, holding one, squeezed one in the aisle between the main console and the back seat, squeezed four in the back row, and another person lay on top of the four of them, and then Lie one on top of the other.

In the end, a small Jetta dragged ten people. Wei Yang felt that if his car was conscious, he would rather let the car dealer sell it as scrap iron than suffer from this...
