Chapter 236
When Jiang Xiao and director Lin Shi left the Central Academy of Drama, Tong Liya finally chose to continue playing the role that the other party had played in memory, Lin Mengmeng's teacher and the girlfriend of the inspector.
In addition, a male actor named Wang Ziyi was selected to play the male assistant of the inspector.
This guy is a classmate with the former, and he is also a second-generation star, because the other person's father is Yue Buqun. Uh, no, he is an actor who once played Yue Buqun. Xu Qing's version of "The Smiling, Proud Wanderer" is called Weizi.
Just listening to the name may not be very familiar, but you will definitely be impressed by the appearance. The hypocrite "Yue Buqun" is even more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
Wang Ziyi's acting skills are pretty good, and he is one of the best among the group.
He looks a bit like the child born by Shi Xingyu and Chen Xiaodong. Well, it is a bit off-the-scenes. It should be said that there is a combination of the charm of the two.
In addition, after discussing with Lin Shi, he also placed Prince Wen and Mao Xiaotong on Lin Mengmeng's shortlist.
If you really can't find a better candidate in the end, Jiang Xiao is likely to choose one of the two.
In other words, both of them are relatively petite, especially Prince Wen, who is definitely one of the smallest actresses in the circle.
Playing Guo Fucheng's daughter, there is no problem with her appearance.
…………
That afternoon.
Jiang Xiao and Lin Shi came to Beijing Film Academy again, wanting to see if they can continue to find an actor suitable to play Lin Mengmeng.
He was also warmly received by the school. During the audition, he recognized Yuan Shanshan, Jiao Junyan and the single-digit addition and subtraction.
But in terms of appearance of the first two, it is obviously not as suitable as Lin Mengmeng as Mao Xiaotong and Wang Ziwen.
As for the latter, if it weren't for marrying a black-clad Baoer on the Internet, Jiang Xiao would probably not have known that there was such a character with average acting skills, so it was naturally not suitable.
A trip to Beijing Electric was basically a waste of time. After the incident was over, Yang Mi came over openly.
From "The Red and Pink Family" to "The Godly Condor", to "33 Days of Love Break", he and Da Mimi have worked together three times.
Therefore, there should be no problem in public contact as long as it does not appear too intimate.
At the same time, Jiang Xiao could see that the girl seemed to have a little "showing off". The eyes that many people cast on the campus probably made Yang Mi feel happy.
This is normal. Everyone can be so indifferent that they care nothing. Therefore, Jiang Xiao cooperates with the "performance" that should be cooperated with.
Your own people will naturally be favored by themselves.
…………
One week later.
"Eyewitness" has made continuous new progress in the actors, and the heroine, Yu Nan, was found.
Yes, right, Jiang Xiao chose Yu Nan in the original version and stole a lazy person.
The other party is also a powerful actor in the circle. It is not often seen that he can perform as a gold medal lawyer.
Yao Cheng is actually quite suitable, but the other party is not as good as he did later.
Other Gao Yuanyuan who had thought for a moment had skipped it without much hesitation. It was really not suitable for Da Meiyuan.
There was also Fan Binbin who took the initiative to call when he heard the wind and Jiang Xiao also refused, which was also very unsuitable.
He cannot abolish the public for personal gain. He has paid the real money and silver himself, and he must be responsible for himself.
In addition, Lin Tai’s girlfriend is the character who was accidentally killed by Lin Mengmeng. He found Liu Yan again. In "33 Days of Love Break", although the other party didn’t have many scenes, he successfully became “hard”.
Therefore, it is also a good choice to be "bad" in "Eyewitness".
As for the driver role, Jiang Xiao found "Li Dakang" Wu Gang, and the driver's wife also found Yan Ni, and asked the two to partner with each other.
The original driver actor, the self-proclaimed aloof banana man, must have to be replaced. He is too pretentious and is actually a fool.
Besides, Yan Ni is a bit rustic, but if you take care of it carefully, you can have some charm, which just fits the positioning of the driver's wife.
You can't be too beautiful, or you can't marry a driver, or you can't be too ugly. After thinking about it, the latter is more suitable in all aspects, especially in terms of age.
In fact, Yu Nan feels that this role is quite suitable, but Yan Ni is obviously not suitable for an elite lawyer.
Putting aside these, it seems that only Lin Mengmeng's actors are still left. Just as Jiang Xiao was planning to let director Lin Shi make a decision, he chose one of Wang Ziwen and Mao Xiaotong, but an unexpected person took the initiative to come to the door.
It turned out to be the "Legend" Big Sweet?
Well, the accident was sure to be an accident, but it was not unacceptable. After all, he went to Central Academy of Drama and Beijing Film Academy. It was not surprising that those who were well-informed could hear the wind.
No matter what, after someone sent a coffee in the reception room, Jiang Xiao said straight to the point: "I wonder how you two want to cooperate?"
Yes, Da Tiantian was with him...it should be an agent. He came to the door to talk about cooperation, and a role was just a matter of course. For this, he could only act with him.
Anyway, it’s not that Jiang Xiao begs others, but that others beg him, so he will naturally be able to stay stable.
"We can invest in Mr. Jiang's new works, of course, Tiantian also wants to exercise herself."
The agent who pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose gave a relatively obvious hint.
Da Tiantian next to her was watching quietly, looking at Jiang Xiao curiously from time to time.
"But I don't lack investment. "Witness of the People" is just a small-cost production, and Huayi also participates in the investment, so..."
Although he didn't say it all, Jiang Xiao believed that Da Tiantian's agent could understand it completely.
To put it bluntly, the other party's condition is a typical example of bringing funds into the group and using money to open the way.
In most cases, it is indeed a very effective trick.
However, he is indeed not short of investment, after all, the budget for "Eyewitness" is only 10 million.
Jiang Xiao could easily take out the money by himself, not to mention Huayi.
Speaking of the latter, this is actually one of the conditions for his agreement to terminate the contract with Huayi, which is that Huayi can choose to invest in three works by Lemon Entertainment and guarantee a 50% profit rate.
Just like "The National Witness", there is a four million investment amount made by Huayi, with a 50% profit rate. Even Jiang Xiao must maintain the other party's profit of at least 2 million, even if the movie loses.
It sounds like it is at a disadvantage, but in fact, Lemon Entertainment is a newly established new company after all, so it is also a means of growth to attract Huayi, and it is normal to pay some of the benefits.
It is very realistic for this circle? When I didn’t watch “33 Days of Love Break”, there were not only one or two people who had “red eye”.
If Huayi had not blocked it, he would definitely encounter all kinds of evil hands.
Therefore, using interests to temporarily bind a backer or shield is a very normal operation method.
Eating alone is generally particularly annoying, and you have to compromise, which is a real reality.
"Do your company need sponsorship? We are willing to sponsor it."
There is an order from above and spends some money to arrange Da Tiantian into the movie "Witness of the People". So the agent who has no choice but to see Jiang Xiaoxiao's investment, he can only sell a backup operation.
"sponsor?"
This time, Jiang Xiao was really surprised. Isn’t sponsorship just like giving him money?
Da Tiantian really...want to use money to smash him?
But is he a person who can be smashed with money?
Obviously...he is.
As long as the price is right, what can I do if I really use Da Tiantian? It cannot ruin "Witness of the People". After all, the focus of this movie is still on the battle of wits and courage between the two male protagonists, and other characters can only play a supporting role.
Unless he used money to play a role like in "The Warring States Period", Jiang Xiao would refuse without hesitation.
Some money can be made, but some money is really not worth it.
“Yes, sponsorship.”
The agent who nodded did not say the specific number, so as not to say it high or low, and to finish it directly, and do it step by step.
"this……"
When Jiang Xiao saw someone giving money, should he accept it? Or should he accept it? Or should he accept it? It makes people feel embarrassed.
"Can you cry?"
After thinking about it, Jiang Xiao, who did not give the answer immediately, suddenly glanced at Da Tiantian and then spoke.
"ah?"
Da Tiantian herself obviously did not expect Jiang Xiao to turn her target to her, and she was a little unresponsive for a moment.
"I mean acting, can you cry? Just now, it's a small test."
Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said it more clearly again.
"Yes... but can you give me some preparation time?"
Hearing that it was a test, after taking a deep breath, Da Tiantian wanted to prepare first.
...
Chapter completed!
