I've already reached the top level, so I only need to gain proficiency

Chapter 166: Have small expectations; settle for the next best thing? ;Initial policy (14 more)

Listening to Zhang Huaimou's recommendation.

Shen Qiu expressed doubts in his heart.

In fact, most of the time, directors are really not afraid of expensive actors. After all, no matter how expensive it is, it is still the producer's money.

But the question is, are you really worth the price?

Just be afraid, it’s expensive, but if you’re not technically good at it, then it’s just nonsense.

Although Shen Qiu and Zhang Huaimou were in the same circle, they took completely different routes.

He did not win the public's favor by relying on his advanced techniques and aesthetics.

It's because of the desperate efforts in shooting that we have many wonderful shots.

Shen Qiu himself is a cameraman. He once did stunt photography, and he personally took many dangerous follow-up shots.

So rely on this approach.

Finally made a name for himself.

However, many directors admire it, because some shots are really impossible, and no matter how many techniques are used to construct them, they are not as realistic as those at close range.

So unless you take risks, those shots really won't be realistic.

But Shen Qiu dared.

Of course, as he grows older and suffers from old problems, Shen Qiu has become more or less restrained now.

But the standards in my heart are still there.

The requirements for actors are, to some extent, more stringent than those of Zhang Huaimou.

Actors who can't endure hardship and can't stand his shooting standards that pursue realism will most likely not be able to use it.

Therefore, Zhang Huaimou said that he could recommend a good one to him, but the key was that it was expensive.

That made him feel a little unreliable.

As we all know, there are only a handful of people in this industry whose net worth is directly proportional to their acting skills.

Of course, Shen Qiu is not targeting the salary.

Actors who dare to ask for a price are not afraid. If it is worth the price, he is willing to use it.

"Lao Zhang, don't fool me, are you reliable?"

Zhang Huaimou smiled: "Absolutely reliable, but you have to see if you have enough money in your pocket first."

Shen Qiu: "The investors brokered by the Ministry of Culture are, at worst, involved in real estate projects. Will I have no money?"

Zhang Huaimou nodded: "Well, that's good, but it's not necessarily possible if you have money."

Shen Qiu: "Why."

Zhang Huaimou: "Have you not read the latest news about Dong Xuefei? Her science fiction movie is going to start filming next year, and she is also looking for people now. She has also taken a liking to the person I recommended. She may have to choose between you and her. "

Shen Qiu suddenly realized: "Well, that's true. After all, anyone who knows this script from the Ministry of Culture can guess that the filming must be difficult, and Xuefei's place is a big production, and all actors should want to go there." of."

Zhang Huaimou: "But this guy doesn't play by common sense. No matter how good the conditions are at Dong Xuefei's place, he won't necessarily go there. I'll help you read the script first. Maybe it can work. But I need to be vaccinated in advance. The salary will not be high." Low……"

Shen Qiu waved his hand: "Hey, I told you it's okay. Do you know how much the Ministry of Culture's approval will cost, including investment and sponsorship? The target is 100 million!"

Zhang Huaimou: "Oh, that's good. This guy can only take half at most."

Shen Qiu almost spit out his red wine: "What the hell? Half! Sixty million?"

Zhang Huaimou nodded: "Yes, it's not high. With my favor, 60 million is definitely enough."

Shen Qiu's eyelids twitched: "Old Zhang, are you kidding me? It's too expensive."

Zhang Huaimou shrugged: "It's up to you whether we can lower the price. Anyway, I'll tell you everything. Do you want it or not? Don't have a lot of people rushing to get it. He's going to pay this price now."

Shen Qiu: "No, who is it?"

Zhang Huaimou: "Did I watch the New Year's movie? The male protagonist with a box office of 1.8 billion is Su Mu."

Shen Qiu's eyes froze, and then he said, "That's the one who has been in the industry for six years without a single defeat?"

Zhang Huaimou smiled: "Haha, it's him. Don't you have some expectations?"

Shen Qiu: "..."

…

Fengjun Entertainment.

The office was filled with smoke.

Huang Wenshan has already begun to burn incense and worship Buddha. He believed in Feng Shui some time ago, but he didn't feel it was very effective. He just changed his strategy recently and planned to try Buddhism.

After lighting three more sticks of incense, he turned back to look at Lin Haoming.

"This is definitely a good time for Dong Xuefei to make an official announcement in advance, so that none of us need to prepare anything this year and can directly enter the elimination stage."

Lin Haoming: "Du Qifeng and Su Mu will definitely go to the audition."

Huang Wenshan nodded: "I have already spoken to several producers over there through connections. They may recommend you, so I am not sure who I will choose in the end. Besides, even if the male lead cannot compete, Then you can choose a brilliant second male lead and give it a try."

Lin Haoming shook his head: "In such a big production, if you can't get the lead actor, other roles will be meaningless. I have read the script and there are enough scenes for the large emotional scenes, so it can only be the lead actor."

Huang Wenshan was stunned: "Emotional drama? Isn't it a science fiction film?"

"I don't know." Lin Haoming shrugged: "Anyway, this is the last chance. Regardless of Su Mu or Du Qifeng, I must get this opportunity!"

…

Capital Media.

Zhao Lan handed the script in the book to Du Qifeng: "Dong Xuefei has already started inviting auditions. You can go there after you are ready."

Du Qifeng took the script and read it. He was a little less energetic than he was a few months ago.

Maybe after being beaten by Su Mu, his arrogance was gone.

It feels a lot more settled.

"Su Mu should go."

Zhao Lan: "I will definitely audition, but there is no need to take him too seriously. You have your own style and advantages."

Du Qifeng smiled helplessly: "Then do I have a good chance of getting the male lead?"

Zhao Lan: "Why are you so pessimistic now? It's a bit unlike you."

Du Qifeng just smiled awkwardly and said nothing, but he sighed a little in his heart.

He doesn't want to be pessimistic, but he can't keep a low profile.

That person's first movie cost 1.8 billion, and he couldn't breathe with the weight on his head.

Du Qifeng: "If I were Dong Xuefei, I might be more inclined to choose Sumu, but I don't want to be a running companion."

Zhao Lan: "What do you think?"

Du Qifeng sighed: "Originally, I wanted to borrow Dong Xuefei's film to give me more support, but if the male lead of Dong Xuefei's drama chooses Su Mu, then even if I play the second male lead, it will be meaningless. I would rather challenge myself in a play directed by Shen Qiu."

Zhao Lan: "Shen Qiu? I heard that it was accepted as a project from the Ministry of Culture, and this time it went to theaters. Although it is not as good as Dong Xuefei's big production, it should be very good."

Du Qifeng nodded and smiled: "Yes, so I have thought about Sister Zhao a long time ago. I can't hang myself from a tree. Please help me contact Director Shen Qiu. It is best to read the script. If it is really good, , but you can settle for the next best thing.”

Zhao Lan: "Okay, I understand."

…

Several days passed quickly.

However, Dong Xuefei's big-budget cast is still a hotly discussed topic among many fans.

Many people are speculating how many actors and actresses will participate.

However, most people believe that the final choice of the male lead may be selected from several young actors who have become popular in recent years.

Readers including Dong Xuefei, after reading the original work, actually have a better understanding of what the male protagonist of this drama is like.

So many people were pushed up at once.

[Comment:

I think it’s Sumu! Handsome enough and good at acting.

Lin Haoming and Du Qifeng are also good, but they have just lost to Su Mu and have to compete for roles, so they will be somewhat passive.

After all, this is a big sci-fi production, and it’s something that an actor would want to do. Can you understand the essence of it? I guess I’m going to break my head~!

Maybe this time will be the first step for our Chinese science fiction movies to go global! ]

The reviews online are very enthusiastic.

But what no one knew was that Su Mu had no intention of going there at this moment.

Because Qian Jida had just read the script to him.

From reading between the lines, Su Mu was almost certain that it was the Magic City Fortress from his previous life.

So if that's the case, it's really not easy to go.

Of course, unless the remuneration is really too much, there is no second possibility.

Qian Jida: "You have to think about it. It's a science fiction theme and it's a big production. This doesn't happen every year."

Su Mu: "How much is the salary?"

Qian Jida: "If the audition is successful, the price quoted by Dong Xuefei's team is 10 million."

Su Mu: "Let's play with wool."

Qian Jida rolled his eyes: "Brother, this is already very high. Faced with such a big production, we can no longer follow our quotation. It depends on how much others are willing to pay. And this is not a question of remuneration. Can you participate?" Acting with such large-scale production resources will help you a lot in the future."

Su Mu chuckled: "They have become Party A. They can just give me something to send me, so they have to be grateful?"

Qian Jida was helpless: "Actually, this price is quite good. I heard that most of the funds were spent on production, which is very expensive, so the remuneration of all the actors will not be too high."

Su Mu sighed: "Mr. Qian, have you forgotten our original strategic policy?"

Qian Jida: "Well, I didn't forget."

Su Mu: "Since I haven't forgotten it, do you think I can accept the ten million?"

Qian Jida: "..."

Su Mu: "Sticking to one's heart is the key to sustainable development. If we abandon the original strategic policy every time for one reason or another, how can the country be strong? How can the people be prosperous? How can you and I create glory again? ?”

[Speech proficiency +1]

[Skill point +0.01]

Qian Jida: "..."

Su Mu: "Don't talk about big productions, even if Hollywood asked me to play the male lead, the salary would not be enough, and I would still have to play in the mud. In short, if you never forget your original intention, you will always be able to do it, Mr. Qian."

Qian Jida: "I understand...I understand."

Su Mu nodded with a look of relief on his face: "Good jobs can't wait for the time being, but if you miss the money, you really missed it. Come on, reiterate to me the corporate culture... you have money."

Qian Jida: "If you have money..."

Su Mu: "I have a dream."

Qian Jida: "I have a dream."

Su Mu: “No money.”

Qian Jida: "No money..."

Su Mu: "No dream."

Qian Jida: "No dream..."
