China Entertainment Times 1999

Chapter 14 Brother Xuan, can I hang out with you in the future?
The two people's performances were very natural and smooth, and they couldn't find any major faults.

The main creators watched them perform all the scenes as if they were watching a drama, and they were still a little unfinished at the end.

Lin Xuan's performance was somewhat unexpected. There was not a trace of sluggishness or a single wrong line in the whole process, which shows that he has worked hard these days.

And his voice is very nice, even just listening to him read his lines is a pleasure.

"Very good, well done."

Li Shaohong took the initiative to praise him, then suddenly thought of something and asked in surprise: "Have you really never studied acting?"

Lin Xuan smiled and shook his head: "I have never studied, I have read a few books, and when I am on the set, I like to watch other people acting."

Li Shaohong was even more surprised. If he could act so well without studying acting, then this child's talent would be great.

She never thought that Lin Xuan would lie, because looking at his age, she knew that he had never gone to college.

"Okay, then go out first. I will notify you of the audition results later."

"Thank you, director, and thank you to all the teachers."

Lin Xuan bowed and thanked each one, and then exited the room.

Zhang Changzong will be filming in two days, so he needs to decide on the role now.

After Lin Xuan left, Li Shaohong said: "The audition is over, who do you think is more suitable?"

"I think Lin Xuan's performance is good. His age and temperament are very suitable. I give him my vote."

Of course, Chen Hong, a bole, must support her Chollima.

"I also support Lin Xuan."

Zhao Wenxuan just had a scene with him, and there was almost no fault in the whole process. It must be very comfortable to work with such an actor.

"I think he and Gao Dongping are both very good. It's up to you to choose the director." Gui Yalei left the choice to the director.

Li Shaohong thought for a moment, then turned to discuss with her husband.

Although Gao Dongping's performance is not bad, on the one hand, he is not the right age and not as handsome as Lin Xuan.

Moreover, in Li Shaohong's view, Lin Xuan was already half a "Rong Xinda" person, and he could sign a contract with Li Xiaowan when she came back from her business trip.

Although these thoughts were just her wishful thinking and she had never made a verbal agreement with Lin Xuan, she didn't care much.

He's just an extra and not a big star. Can a cooked duck still fly?

Li Shaohong told Zeng Nianping his idea. After getting the other party's approval, Li Shaohong finally made the decision:
"Since most people think Lin Xuan is more suitable, let's choose him."

………………

Lin Xuan waited nervously outside for 10 minutes, and then saw Li Shaohong's assistant walking over.

"Lin Xuan, congratulations."

"Really? That's great!" Lin Xuan clenched his fists excitedly.

Although he felt that he was sure of it, he was still a little worried before the final result came out.

Well now, the stone has finally fallen to the ground.

"First come with me to find the finance manager and sign your contract."

"Ok."

Lin Xuan followed the assistant to the financial office to sign the performance contract. This may be the biggest difference between extras and actors.

Zhang Changzong has about ten scenes in the play. Calculated at RMB 200 per scene, the total remuneration is 2000 yuan.

This is the normal price for a new actor.

Half of the remuneration is given after signing the contract, and the other half is given after the filming is completed.

After receiving the paycheck, the assistant took him to try on clothes, makeup, and take makeup photos, which lasted until the evening.

When he returned to the basement, Wang Baoqiang couldn't wait to ask: "Brother, how's it going?"

Lin Xuan proudly took out 1000 yuan in cash: "Let's go, I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight."

Wang Baoqiang understood instantly and jumped onto Lin Xuan excitedly: "That's great, brother! Congratulations! You finally became an actor!" Hearing his words, Lin Xuan was also a little emotional.

After two whole years of living in this dilapidated basement, I am finally going to see the sunshine.

The two of them changed their clothes and went out. Lin Xuan also went to the small supermarket opposite to borrow a phone and called Liu Yang over.

Although there were some conflicts before, Liu Yang was kind to the original owner and Lin Xuan after all.

………………

In a barbecue shop.

After three drinks and five dishes, the three of them were all a bit tipsy.

Liu Yang didn't know if he drank too much, but looked at Lin Xuan and couldn't help but giggle.

"What laughing?"

Liu Yang squinted his drunken eyes and said intermittently: "I'm so happy. Counting the time, I have been a leader for almost ten years. When I first started in this industry, I always felt that I was awesome and could cultivate a few stars from gold mining in the sand. But my subordinates People left one after another, but no one could gain a firm foothold in this circle. In my heart, I had actually given up a long time ago, but I didn’t expect you to actually do it.”

Lin Xuan silently took a sip of beer and said, "It's not that exaggerated. I just took on a small role. After this role, I still have to go on special appointments. I'm still far away from the big stars."

"You think Li Shaohong is stupid. He gave you the role just to sign you." Liu Yang looked like he didn't understand anything.

"Really? But she didn't mention it today." Lin Xuan himself was a little confused.

A few days ago, he did notice that Li Shaohong wanted to sign him.

But today's audition took so long and there were so many opportunities, and she didn't even mention it.

Liu Yang explained to him: "Rong Xingda has two Lis. Li Xiaowan is responsible for the internal management of the company, and Li Shaohong is responsible for filming for the company. The two people have a clear division of labor. She didn't mention it, which only means that Li Xiaowan is not in the capital now. When you go back, just film well. As soon as I turned around, I saw the contract."

Seeing that he was speaking eloquently, Lin Xuan became interested and asked: "Brother Yang, what are the general treatment packages for signing contracts with these film and television companies?"

Liu Yang said: "A pure newcomer like you with no achievements at all is usually divided into [-] and [-]%. The contract period starts at eight years. When you become more popular in the future, the share will increase."

Lin Xuan nodded silently and didn't bother to ask who was fourth and who was sixth.

After finishing their meal and settling the bill, the three of them walked out of the barbecue restaurant.

A gust of cold wind blew in my face, which dissipated a lot of the drunkenness.

"Lin Xuan." Liu Yang stopped him and took out an envelope from his pocket.

"Brother Yang, what are you..."

"There is 3000 yuan in the envelope. It is the share I took from your salary in the past two years, and now I will give it back to you."

Lin Xuan held his hand: "It is an industry rule to take a commission, I can't accept it."

"Take it!" Liu Yang grabbed him and forced the envelope into his hand. His eyes were red when he spoke:

"Those words I said a few days ago, you just think I'm farting. When I become a big star in the future, I will be grateful if I can leave a mouthful of food for me."

After saying that, Liu Yang patted Lin Xuan's shoulder hard, then turned around and left coolly.

Lin Xuan and Wang Baoqiang stood there with mixed emotions, silently watching his retreating figure, watching him take out the keys and prepare to get in the car.

wrong!

You are going to drink and drive!
Before Liu Yang's butt touched the driver's seat, he was pulled down by Lin Xuan.

"Hey, I don't need you to send it."

"What are you giving me? It's not safe to drive under the influence. I'll call a taxi for you. I'll leave the car here and drive it again tomorrow morning."

Lin Xuan put Liu Yang in a taxi, and then walked home along the road to sober up.

On the way, Wang Baoqiang looked at Lin Xuan and hesitated several times.

Everyone is an extra in Beidiao. Lin Xuan is about to be signed by a big company, but he can't go to the show for two days in a row. The gap is getting bigger and bigger. If this continues, he may not even be able to pay the rent.

When he was almost home, Wang Baoqiang finally couldn't help but said: "Brother Xuan, can I hang out with you in the future?"

"it is good!"
