Lu Mengying didn't have an assistant, and the crew hadn't assigned her a car yet, so when Chen Minhao came to the crew from the hotel in the morning, he took her with him.
When actors put on makeup on the set, it often involves taking off their regular clothes and changing into the set's costumes. So generally speaking, in a normal production crew, there are separate dressing rooms for men and women.
After the crew took Lu Mengying to the women's dressing room, Chen Minhao sat on a chair in the men's dressing room and ate buns.
Kevin, Chen Minhao's makeup artist, came in without hesitation. After a brief greeting, the two immediately got into work.
Chen Minhao straightened his back and sat with his eyes closed, while Kevin held a brush and rubbed it on his face.
After Chen Minhao finished applying makeup, makeup artist Kevin first praised his work as usual: "Perfect. By the way, you must have returned to the hotel quite late yesterday, right? Why is your skin still so good?"
Kevin had been doing Chen Minhao's makeup for almost four weeks, so he knew that this was an unanswerable question, so he changed the topic before Chen Minhao could answer.
He covered his chest and asked: "Where did you find that little girl yesterday, Lu Mengying? I thought she was weak at first, so I guess she couldn't hold up the role of Siyuan, but I didn't expect that she would be able to play the role. Quite permeable.
When you were filming yesterday afternoon, I was watching from the side. I saw her smile several times, and the more I thought about it, the more terrified I became. So when I washed my hair last night, I didn't dare to close my eyes. "
"Ah, how can you wash your hair with your eyes open?" Peter, the makeup artist doing Wang Ruozhou's makeup next to him, successfully distorted the rhythm of the conversation.
The two makeup artists directly exchanged the method of washing hair with eyes open, and then they talked about shampoo, and then they talked about two female celebrities from the same domestic company competing for a shampoo endorsement advertisement...
When the two makeup artists finally shut up, Wang Ruozhou, who had been sitting silently next to her, joked: "I was not on the set yesterday, but I heard many people say that Chen Minhao, the little girl you hired is very powerful.
Chen Minhao, how did you find him? The director and producer have spent so much effort but failed to find a suitable actor. Chen Minhao, could it be that you betrayed your looks to seduce the little girl here? "
Although Wang Ruozhou is an actor, after meeting him several times, Chen Minhao decided that he was a tease.
When Wang Ruozhou made a joke on Chen Minhao at the beginning, Chen Minhao had to use his acting skills to blush slightly to show his innocence.
Now, facing Wang Ruozhou's teasing, Chen Minhao turned his head generously, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Yes, I did sell my looks to attract her here. Brother Zhou, aren't you convinced?"
Wang Ruozhou smiled bitterly and said, "Xiao Chen, you have changed. You didn't dare to talk to your cousin like this."
Wang Ruozhou's makeup artist made a perfect last resort: "It was you who led him astray. When Xiao Chen first joined the group, he was a simple and handsome guy. Now he is still very handsome, but his inner core has changed. It was you who led him astray."
Wang Ruozhou was a little desperate for this face-based world, and even his makeup artist sided with Chen Minhao.
Chen Minhao said with a smile: "Actually, Lu Mengying was introduced by the department head of our school. She was originally filming a TV series, but the crew failed, so the department head introduced her to our crew to give it a try.
To be honest, I didn't even know her acting skills were so explosive before I acted opposite her. After all, she has basically never acted in any TV series or movies. "
Wang Ruozhou sighed and said: "Hey, this is true talent, God will reward you with food. Wait a moment, in the morning, I will act opposite her, I want to see if she has you That's so powerful.
I have never heard of such a newcomer in the entertainment industry. "
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said: "Maybe she originally performed more dramas, and they were mainly school dramas, so she didn't have much influence outside of school.
But to be honest, I had never heard of her name in school. "
Wang Ruozhou nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Does she have a management company now?"
Chen Minhao subconsciously felt not. After all, I haven't heard her mention it, and if she has a brokerage company, she won't even have the money to advance the ticket. In the end, she will have to buy it herself.
But speculation is speculation, and facts are facts.
Chen Minhao said honestly: "I don't know her very well. We met for the first time yesterday, so I really don't know the question you asked me."
Wang Ruozhou nodded and said, "Okay, anyway, the first scene today is between me and her. I'll ask her then."
Chen Qiang sat in the corner of the dressing room, silently. His current psychological feeling is: He originally thought that Lu Mengying was a bronze, but he never expected that the other party was indeed a king, and he was also a fucking star king.
The weather is very good today. After Chen Minhao put on his makeup, he planned to take a walk.
He wandered for a few steps and saw Lu Mengying in the waiting area holding a script and drawing. There was a lot of breakfast and fruit on the table where she was sitting, and Chen Minhao guessed that the crew gave them to her.
Chen Minhao smiled and said hello: "Mengying, is the atmosphere of our crew okay?"
Lu Mengying looked surprised, mixed with a bit of surprise, covering her chest and asked: "Our crew? You mean, I passed the audition?"
In fact, dealing with actors is really tiring, because you never know when the other person is telling the truth or acting.
Especially for actors with good acting skills like Lu Mengying, once they deliberately act, it is often difficult to tell the truth from the lie.
If Chen Minhao had been willing to believe that Lu Mengying was a silly Baitian who only knew what she was doing before yesterday's scene with her opponent. But Lu Mengying used her acting skills yesterday to tell Chen Minhao that she is not stupid and sweet.
Fortunately, Chen Minhao's acting skills were not bad. He said happily: "Well, your performance yesterday was great, and you basically won the recognition of the entire crew."
Lu Mengying smiled even happier and said: "Great, I thought I would have an audition today. I have basically never been exposed to film or TV crews, so I thought someone would ask me to sign a contract."
Chen Minhao heard the implication of Lu Mengying's words, nodded and said: "Let me remind the producer for you, he is probably too busy."
Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive. The two mentioned Tian Lin, and Tian Lin came over with a stack of A4 paper.
When Tian Lin saw that Chen Minhao was also there, he nodded to him as a greeting, and then he sat down directly opposite Lu Mengying's seat:
"Mengying, was this your first time filming a TV series yesterday? You acted very well, and Director Hu told me yesterday that you have unlimited potential and will have good development in the future."
Chen Minhao was a little confused when he heard Tian Lin's kind words. It was the first time for him to see the producer personally go off to raise the actor's salary.
Chen Minhao complained in his heart: Why didn't you praise me when you signed the contract with me? Why didn't you help me raise my worth and give me more money
Lu Mengying showed a flattered expression, stood up from her seat, bowed slightly to Tian Lin, and said: "You are flattered, you are flattered."
Tian Lin laughed, waved his hand and said: "No award, no award, if you continue to be humble, you will be underestimating yourself.
But you are beautiful and have good acting skills. Do you know why you didn't find a suitable script to star in? "
At this point in Tian Lin's words, Chen Minhao had already guessed what medicine he planned to sell in his gourd.
Lu Mengyingze said frankly: "Because I have been taking classes in school during my freshman and sophomore years, I only started looking for a crew during the winter vacation this year. It was just bad luck that the crew failed."
Tian Lin shook his head repeatedly and said, "Wrong, this is obviously student thinking. Think about it, how many people graduate from Beijing Film Academy and China Theater Academy in a year, but why are so few of them able to succeed?"
Before Lu Mengying could speak, Tian Lin put his arm on Chen Minhao's shoulders and said to Lu Mengying: "You are aware of Chen Minhao's popularity in China and even in several East Asian countries, right
Have you ever thought about the gap between you and him? He is a freshman. "
Lu Mengying is a good admirer. She followed Tian Lin's words and asked: "Where is the gap?"
Tian Lin showed a teachable expression, nodded slightly and said: "It depends on the brokerage company. Chen Minhao has a brokerage company, but you don't. He has a brokerage company, so there will be brokers to help him take care of chores and help him find The right script.
And if you don’t have an agency, you can only rely on luck to find scripts. "
Lu Mengying looked at Tian Lin who looked excited, nodded slightly and said, "Well, Teacher Tian, what you said makes sense."
Tian Lin said: "It is fate that we can meet in Curry Country. Do you want to consider signing with our company? Our company produces at least 3 movies and 5 TV series every year. We are very powerful."
Chen Minhao asked curiously: "Your company actually has brokerage business?"
Tian Lin nodded, looked at Lu Mengying, and asked: "Yes, our company's current business is single, but we have been seeking the development of diversified businesses. The brokerage business is the focus of our next stage of development. Do you want to consider it?" "
Lu Mengying looked at Chen Minhao with a bit of embarrassment. Chen Minhao thought to himself: Forget it, at least he introduced him, so I'll just help him.
Chen Minhao said: "You just said so much to Mengying, and she actually couldn't react in her mind at once. I think you should settle the contract for "Detective" first, and then as for the brokerage business, we can communicate slowly later. , Anyway, this kind of thing can’t be rushed.”
Chen Minhao opened his mouth to help, and Lu Mengying's eyes flashed with joy.
Tian Lin has been in the entertainment industry for many years, so he naturally knows how to get along well when he meets someone. He smiled and said: "Yes, yes, I'm too excited. I'm just afraid that such a good talent will be lost to everyone, so let's start with "Detective" Sign the contract."
Tian Lin asked Lu Mengying: "In terms of remuneration, how much do you think is appropriate?"
Lu Mengying looked at Chen Minhao in panic.
After Tian Lin noticed Lu Mengying's expression, he continued to explain to Lu Mengyao the importance of Amway's agency, saying: "If you have an agency now, you don't have to worry about issues like this at all."
Lu Mengying nodded with a learned expression, and then looked at Tian Lin aggrievedly.
Tian Lin felt that he would be a bit too bullying if he tried to beat around the bush with the little girl in front of him, so he said directly: "Because you are a newcomer, we usually give you this number."
Tian Lin made a three sign with his right hand.
He continued: "But your acting skills are really good, we are willing to give you this number." He made another five with his right hand, and continued: "But if you sign with our company, you can double this number. times."
Lu Mengying turned to look at Chen Minhao with a puzzled look on her face. She really didn't understand the three and five that Tian Lin and her drew just now.
In fact, Chen Minhao was not sure how much Tian Lin was talking about. He frowned and said, "Teacher Tian, how much did you tell her directly? You made five and three signs there. People who don't know think you are selling " Five years of college entrance examination, three years of simulation."
Tian Lin was stunned for a moment. He had forgotten the last time he was directly criticized by an actor.
Tian Lin thought that maybe Chen Minhao had seen him in the elevator at his most desolate state, so he no longer had any respect for him.
But he also thought about Chen Minhao's acting skills and that Chen Minhao had brought Lu Mengying. Tian Lin tried to comfort himself: If you don't have awe, then you don't have awe. Anyway, awe cannot bring you real money.
Tian Lin said directly: "Fifty thousand."
Lu Mengying was shocked and said: "It's too much. I really can't ask for so much. I'm just a newcomer. My TV series crew only gave me 30,000 yuan."
Tian Lin saw that Lu Mengying was shocked by her money, and said with a proud smile: "So your crew is in trouble. As long as you sign a contract with our company, your remuneration for this performance will be 1 million."
Just as Tian Lin was about to explain the details of the contract in person, the crew came to call Lu Mengying to be filmed.
After Lu Mengying went to film, Tian Lin directed his fire at Chen Minhao and asked: "Xiao Chen, if you move trees to death, people will live if you move them. Do you have any plans to come to our company for development? I dare not say anything else. One movie per year I can still guarantee the starring role."
Chen Minhao smiled slightly and asked, "When did your company start planning to engage in brokerage business?"
Tian Lin touched his nose. He knew that there was no point in lying on such an easy-to-verify issue. He said honestly: "Last week.
In the past two weeks, due to the vacancy of the actor Siyuan, the crew of "Detective" has almost stopped working.
This made us realize that as a large film and television production and distribution company, we cannot do without a few people.
And to be honest, in the long run, if we have some artists on hand, it will be more conducive for us to produce some high-quality works. Nowadays, actors who are slightly famous are too arrogant. "
After listening to Tian Lin's introduction, Chen Minhao directly and decisively rejected Tian Lin's invitation.
On the one hand, resources such as starring in a movie every year are not particularly attractive to Chen Minhao. What currently appeals to him is the starring role in high-quality movies.
And if you sign a contract with a film and television company, it may not be that easy to star in a movie from a competing company.
On the other hand, Chen Minhao has made up his mind to open his own studio and has been working hard for it.
Tian Lin found that various methods were used to describe the prospects and future, but after Chen Minhao was not moved at all, Tian Lin decisively chose to give up and slumped down on the chair.
Whether it was Tian Lin's impassioned guidance to Lu Mengying at the beginning or his persuasion from the perspective of prospects and future just now, Chen Minhao felt that Tian Lin, the producer, was different from other producers.
Chen Minhao asked curiously: "Teacher Tian, what did you do originally?"
Alarm bells rang in Tian Lin's heart, but he still pretended to be listless and said: "I used to be an ordinary talent scout, but then I became a producer by chance, and then I slowly rose to the position of producer."
Chen Minhao nodded slightly, thinking: The story of being promoted from an ordinary young talent scout to a producer is quite legendary, enough to write a book.
After Tian Lin casually said a few words, he immediately went to the actors' waiting area. He was a little worried that Chen Minhao would continue to inquire about what he did before being a talent scout, and this was a secret that could not be told.
In fact, before Tian Lin became a talent scout, he worked as a sales manager in a health care product company. He did a job similar to direct sales, selling some useless health care products to the elderly. In the end, he left his job because he felt very guilty.
But this experience has become a dark history in Tian Lin's heart that can never be mentioned to anyone.
Chen Minhao's scene started shooting in the afternoon, so he planned to spend all the morning thinking about the script. After all, the crew had a relatively strong actor, and it would be disgraceful if his acting skills were beaten by a newcomer.
Then, Chen Minhao saw an unexpected person in the crew: Huang Feifei.
The role played by Huang Feifei has no intersection with the character Siyuan, so Huang Feifei wrapped up and left three weeks ago.
Although it was unexpected, Chen Minhao still greeted him enthusiastically and said, "Sister Feifei, why are you back?"
Huang Feifei rolled her eyes and said, "What's wrong? I'm not welcome?"
Chen Minhao hurriedly smiled and said: "Welcome, welcome, I just didn't expect you, Sister Feifei, to be so busy. How could you have time to come here?"
Huang Feifei smiled and said: "I miss you a little, and I even brought you food."
Many crew members had already gathered around Huang Feifei after seeing her. After hearing Huang Feifei's words, they even praised her:
"Sister Feifei, you are so kind!"
"Sister Feifei, you are so kind."
"Sister Feifei, we miss you too."
But Chen Minhao only had two words in his heart: "Haha".
I would rather believe that there are ghosts in this world than Huang Feifei's mouth.
