Chapter 143 Don't force it if you don't want it(1/2)

"Director Lu, the information you want is here. Do you have any other instructions?"

A female assistant who is not too beautiful, about 30 years old, and Lu He's usual casting assistant director, handed over a suggested folder in a quiet voice - it was not bound, but only a dozen pages of pictures and texts, clamped together with buttons.

"It's nothing, you can sit for a while." Lu He waved his hand casually, not seeing his subordinates at all, and let the other party sit on the sofa next to him.

Everyone in the circle knows that unless you are a relative, it is better to cast an assistant director with a woman. After all, it is not the turn of casting an important role like a male and female protagonist in a movie to solve it. This position is only responsible for finding supporting roles that the director of the director doesn’t know what he thinks.

In the words of a woman, it will reduce the risk of her sleeping in a beautiful woman for another round.

Of course, there will be gains and losses. While girls are less risky, the young and handsome guys who are applying for the recruitment will have to take more responsibility.

But men are treated as contributing to industry harmony by mature women in their 30s.

What's more, it's a bit ugly. Many well-known directors are flirting with each other. Even if the female casting assistant director is not a beauty, he is still a bit mature and intellectual. If the young and handsome guys serve them, they will not leave much indelible psychological shadows (except for some perverted aunts, there are more perverted aunts in the idol drama productions in Wanwan, which is good in the mainland. This should be praised for the self-love of mainland women)

Less nonsense, anyway, the female deputy director Lu He used to cast is very well-known in terms of image and temperament, and her business ability and professional ethics are also average. Moreover, in the waiting room just now, she also heard Du Min's conversation with Ma Hesha with her own ears, heard Du Min's surprise, and Ma Hesha's "using clothes from Taobao to deal with auditions."

"What do you think of these three?" Director Lu read more than ten pages of the documents, threw them to the side, then circled out three names and asked his female deputy director.

"This... I'm afraid I'm not as comprehensive as you." The female deputy director modestly.

"Even if you say it, say whatever you want." Director Lu seemed very enlightened.

"Then I think about it." The female deputy director said as he took the handed paper and looked at the three names circled on it: one was Ma Hesha, the second was Du Min, and the last was Zhagu.

Among them, when Du Min was chatting with Ma Hesha just now, he claimed that she was a "school student of Jingying", but the female deputy director had read the resume, so he had known that Du Min was bragging: the girl's official education was "Jingyingying Continuing Education College".

In other words, it is not the serious "Beijing Film" that passes the regular college entrance examination, but the spicy pheasant that is equivalent to the "adult education" or "three-book".

For example, it is equivalent to "Zhezhou University Urban College" and "Zhezhou University" and "Peking University Blue Bird" to "Peking University".

However, no matter what, this professional direction of Du Min's education is the closest thing to this drama among the three girls that Director Lu finally encircled.

After all, Ma Hesha is the first to be a 211 student, but after all, it is not a professional school for opera, and he also learns music. Another high school graduate who just passed the college entrance examination and was too young to study at all.

The female deputy director thought about it and answered carefully within this range: "In terms of image... that Ma Hesha is the first. In terms of performance level and on-the-scene temperament, Du Min still seems to be a little better. In the end, this Zagu is better because of his most positive attitude. Although it is a piece of white paper, he looks very sincere and willing to learn, and his acceptance is good. In terms of appearance, he is only slightly worse than Ma Hesha."

Talking to the leader requires artistic skills. No options given by the leader cannot be directly denied. After all, today's step has been selected from 3 out of 20, which shows that these three directors Lu think there are outstanding features. If the female deputy director directly says that any of them is not possible at all, wouldn't it be too eyebrow-free?

As for the lines she said about "Honest attitude and learning potential", everyone understands them in the circle.

It’s just that I feel that a girl is willing to “pay” and has the potential to “pay”.

"Haha, you're right. That Ma and Sha's attitude must be quite stiff." Director Lu smiled casually.

The documents collected just now include a summary of all public information about the three candidate girls.

Lu He can become a well-known director who won awards, must be a wise man, and will not act like a brainless guy who is controlled by his lower body. Therefore, he has carefully read Ma Hesha's "glorious deeds" and also saw that when she was in a reputation lawsuit with others, she gave up the ruthlessness of "virgin identification" as a killer move.

How could such a decisive beauty easily have the idea of ​​unspoken rules? The other party is already a small internet celebrity, and is still so innocent. She is not the same as other charming internet celebrities. She also knows the ruthless person who is rich and treacherous.

Therefore, he dared not to threaten Lu He and could not make any mistakes.

Otherwise, if he was not such a versatile person, how could he fool six or seven investors into investing money for himself, and finally successfully take advantage of the mutual restraints and balances between investors, and still placing the name of "producer" as himself?

It is very difficult for a movie to be directed, written and produced by the same person in these three positions. This means that investors' supervision of the specific use of investment funds has been weakened to a limit.

Generally speaking, if there are only one to three investors in a film, then investors holding large shares can be very strong and require the producer to decide.

Even if he couldn't do it, he would have installed a "producer" or "producer assistant" next to Director Chen like when Feng Jianxiong first cast "Bite of the Tongue". At that time, Feng Jianxiong used Ding Lihui, who was aware of the roots and the bottom line to assume this role.

The role of this role is to monitor how the crew spends money, whether every point invested in the crew is spent on filming, whether the director and screenwriter have been fed by personal pockets, whether each supplier has related transactions, or whether the props and clothing have rebates, deliberately cheap, and not buying expensive ones...

But once there are many investors, no one trusts anyone. Everyone is afraid that one or several of them are making false investments, or even colluding with the director to act as a double act, cheating other investors' money-

If you really can't even understand this, go and see how Huang Silang, the role of Fa Ge in "Let the Bullets Fly", colludes with the previous county magistrates of Echeng, "raising bandits and respecting themselves, and then pretending to pay for money to suppress bandits. As long as Mr. Huang pays out the money, the two rich people in the south of the city must pay the money in proportion. After the money is obtained, the county magistrate of Huang Silang is returned in full. The county magistrate paid the money from the two rich people in the south of the city, and the county magistrate will share the money with Huang Silang for 55% of the money." You will understand all the despicable tricks. (Although this trick is too novice, it is impossible to be so naked, but is it easy to understand it?)

Therefore, once there are many investors, the producer recommended by any investor cannot get the support of other investors. In the end, the producer can only be part-time by the director or screenwriter.

The human spirit in Luhe can be seen.

Such people will be able to go to women. It is impossible for sperm to get bad things when they are damaged by brains.

For him, girls like Ma Hesha cannot go up, and they can only choose between using it directly or using it.

The only consideration at this time is whether the benefits brought by using horses and yarn can be significantly superior to Du Min.

After all, Ma Hesha has the attributes of an internet celebrity and has its own traffic. Moreover, the pay requirements should be very low, which is no different from using ordinary passers-by.

And women, what chance can’t be played? Even if you just talk about the current movie, “Yu Ji” can’t be played, can you still have a more successful female supporting role?

"You shout Ma and Sa in and talk about it alone."

"Yes, right away." The female deputy director felt a little nervous, thinking to himself, could Director Lu not care about Ma Hesha's shortcomings of "not being interested and unwilling to give"?

...

"Ma Hesha, come to the director's office." The female deputy director walked to Ma Hesha and explained to her gently.

Then, without waiting for Ma Hesha to react, the female deputy director was very good at announcing that most other girls would go to have dinner first.

Staff will also give red envelopes to carriages and horse fees at the place where the bento is given, which is a comfort for them to be enthusiastic about auditioning. The audition of costume dramas is different from that of modern times. Many eager contestants will spend money to make wigs and make costumes by themselves.

Although this is not what the crew requires and there is no requirement for the crew to pay, some more generous crews are still good at it, so that a certain director's reputation in the circle will be easier to respond to auditions.

Things in the entertainment industry are all about flowery sedan chairs. In the film academies of Beijing Film Academy, Huaxi, girls will privately tell who is stingy and who is generous.

While telling others to go to dinner, the female deputy director walked to Du Min and Zhagu alone, "You stay for a while, maybe you will be after the interview."

The two girls quickly cast gratitude, looking forward to it, and also had some resentment towards Ma and Sa.

"Is it dangerous to go to the director's office alone? Can you be together?" Ma Hesha glanced at Feng Jianxiong, feeling a little confused.

Feng Jianxiong was speechless: "You are a human sperm, who is doing this in the office? Besides, what are you afraid of when you carry a mobile phone? If you have any problems, you can insert it into your pocket and CALL me with one click."

"Where do I get my pocket in the skirt! My phone is put in my bag!" Ma Hesha resented, but she also knew that it was not the time to act coquettishly. After thinking about it, she gritted her teeth and hid the phone in her skirt.

This is the difference between boys and girls. Even if a boy’s clothes are big bosses, they can hold things in their pockets. Even if a girl is a petty-boy and poor girl, she must put everything in her bag. Even if the clothes have pockets, they will always be decorated.

Girls must buy bags! This is natural!

Ma Hesha quietly came to Director Lu's office.

She took a look and saw that one side of the wall was glass and the middle part was frosted, but the height of the calf and feet was transparent, and the person inside could be seen from the outside.

In this way, even if you don’t know what the people in the house are doing, the relative position between people is clear at a glance - if the legs of a man and a woman are only within 30 cm, then you can know what’s going on. (Of course, if you put a person on the desk without revealing his legs, it is theoretically a bit exciting, theoretically)

Unexpectedly, Director Lu paid quite a lot of attention to his private image and cherished his reputation.

"Miss Ma, your image and temperament needless to say, let me tell you the truth. You are the most in line with Yu Ji when I watched the 20 people today." Director Lu and others sat down and spoke first, setting the tone of the conversation, "I like you very much, but I heard that you were wearing Taobao costumes to audition today, and we changed ours on the spot. This attitude is very hesitant. Have you never understood the historical background and cultural characteristics of the script?"

"Sorry, director, I... I really paid attention to it late, and the time was in a hurry. But if I had the chance, I would definitely work hard." Ma Hesha sincerely admitted his mistake. After all, what the other party said was very correct, and it was not difficult.

Right and wrong still have to be clear.

Director Lu waved his hand: "Do you work hard? Of course you still have a chance. If you involve commercial secrets, I can't tell you when to start the production and when to go on sale. But at least three months of preparation period can be guaranteed.

But I have always believed that a person's attitude can be seen from the details. How do you prove that you are very attentive to our drama and are willing to work hard? Just based on the state you show today, I don't think you care very much. If I just make a decision just because of you, it will be unfair to Miss Du and the others."

Ma and Saxin almost mentioned it: Expressing their sincerity? What does it mean? No way...

She resisted her anxiety and confirmed nervously: "Then how do you hope I will prove my efforts?"

She was going to pretend to be confused. If the other party kicked her, it would be fine. If the other party had the patience to propose legitimate conditions, then we would have a chat.

Fortunately, the conditions mentioned by Director Lu later seem very legitimate: "First of all, in terms of pay, I hope to tell you first. No matter what social role you were originally, at least you have the same qualifications as other newcomers in the field of movies, so the pay can only be based on pure newcomers. I hope you can study hard."

"This is OK, it's totally OK. I'm still studying. Even if I give you a chance to exercise, I can do it without talking about money..." Ma Hesha's answer to this point fluently, obviously not caring about Xiao Qian.

"Secondly, you have a certain degree of network popularity, and there is no need to hide it. If I use you, you must consider your own traffic effect - so, can you guarantee that within three months, you will prove your own traffic value? I want a visible indicator to see the value of your future promotion for this movie."

Director Lu proposed the last and most critical point.

This is an opportunity to use a big production to extort the other party’s publicity value in vain.

After hearing this, Ma Hesha actually breathed a sigh of relief.

Just be a legitimate business requirement, just work hard.

Of course, she thought this question a little simple.

Although she is already a little internet celebrity, she has never deliberately managed her popularity and cannot quantitatively evaluate it well. At present, there are no awesome channels for self-media to speak out, and her blog has only been followed by more than 100,000 times. After all, in the era of orthodox blogs, users are following the public intellectuals, and at least they should pay attention to "intellectual media beauties" and not to pay attention to pure internet celebrities. Therefore, in the era of long blogs, there is no way out for internet celebrities.

It was just because Ma Hesha subconsciously thought of this problem simply, or it might not be without blind trust such as "As long as it is a business matter, I can't solve it, Brother Xiong will always teach me."

"I... can I... if I have 300,000 blog fans and often update my experience in making movies? Of course, I won't disclose commercial secrets. I will only write what you think you can write. If not, will I be able to become an UP owner in the entertainment area with 500,000 followers on the NICONICO website meet the requirements?" Ma Hesha thought about it and tentatively said.

"How could I think of the channel like N Station? Oh, by the way, you are quite familiar with Mr. Feng from N Station, right?" Director Lu asked subconsciously.

He was not very familiar with Feng Jianxiong, so he only knew it. But who told him that he had just read Ma Hesha’s background information, so he saw the scandals, reputation and rights lawsuits between her and Feng Jianxiong. Now it is the freshest memory, so he reacts as soon as he hears it.

"I'm really familiar with each other. Of course, I didn't ask someone to open the back door. I think he can teach me how to become a person who has a lot of attention..."

Director Lu smiled and said, "Why don't you open the back door if you have to open it? In the entertainment industry, being able to open the back door is already the most serious method. If you are very familiar with it, you can help..."

"Then I... can I discuss it and give you a specific answer." Ma Hesha was a little at a loss.

"How long will it take? I'll ask you to settle down today. If you don't have it, look for Du Min."

"Soon, Brother Xiong is outside, he is here with me today." Ma Hesha said in panic.

"He came with you?" Director Lu raised his eyebrows and thought to himself that the relationship between the two was closer than he expected.

Since it is so close, how did the "virgin appraisal" of lawsuits last year come about?
