Beiying Film and Television Department Director Zhang Guoping's office.
Wang Liqun, leader of the entertainment troupe, lit a cigarette and said, "This kid Chen Minhao's acting skills are much better than I thought."
Xing Xi sat opposite Wang Liqun and sighed softly: "Chen Minhao is not a talented actor, but he has improved very quickly. When I filmed "Bing Di Lian" with him two years ago, I just thought this kid was quite smart. You I talked to him and he was able to listen and make corrections in time. I remember at that time I suggested that he go to the acting major to study systematically. Unexpectedly, he actually got admitted to the acting department of Beijing Film Academy."
Zhang Guoping, the head of the department, sighed: "He also has a high talent in music. There are really not many young people in the younger generation who are all-rounders. People like him who advance both in performance and music are simply rare. Lao Shihe from Yangyin I mentioned several times that he wanted Chen Minhao to give a lecture at Yangyin."
Wang Liqun sighed and said: "Lao Shi? Shi Jiazhi? He really thinks highly of Chen Minhao. Hey, the more you say this, the more I feel it is a pity that Chen Minhao cannot play the role of Zhou Chong."
Zhang Guoping said: "That's not true. His agent is really too much. I originally wanted Chen Minhao to participate in "Chinese Good Actor" but his agent rejected it. But I heard that Chen Minhao's agency contract is really good for 6 next year. The month will expire, and then Chen Minhao will be able to get rid of his agent and he will be free."
"A sneeze"
Kang Hui rubbed his nose and muttered, "It seems I really wore less clothes and caught a cold."
Kang Hui rang the doorbell of Chen Minhao's house, and the person who opened the door was Chen Qiang wearing an apron.
"Sister Kang, didn't you say you wouldn't arrive until 8pm?"
Kang Hui bent down, took out his slippers from the shoe cabinet and put them on with ease, and said, "It's rare that there's no traffic jam on the road today, so I arrived early."
Kang Hui took a deep breath of the fragrance that filled the air and said, "Chen Qiang, what are you doing today? It smells so good."
Chen Qiang said with a smile: "Brother Hao stayed up late rehearsing some time ago, and his body was relatively moist, so I made a white lentil stewed with mushrooms to remove moisture."
Kang Hui praised: "Xiaoqiang, whoever finds you as their husband in the future will be so happy."
Chen Qiang's face immediately turned red and he said, "The dishes are almost burnt. After saying that, he trotted into the kitchen."
After Chen Minhao heard Kang Hui's voice, he walked out of the study.
Kang sat back on the sofa and said to Chen Minhao: "Xiaoqiang is careful and reliable. It's hard to find an assistant like this. You haven't paid Xiaoqiang a salary for a long time. Please increase Xiaoqiang's salary this month. As for How much you raise is up to you."
"You really don't need to give me a salary increase." Chen Qiang ran out of the kitchen and stammered: "I...I...didn't eavesdrop on you on purpose, I just heard you say my name, and then..."
Kang Hui waved his hand and said, "Don't be embarrassed, I should give you a salary increase. In a company, if employees do well but there are no corresponding rewards, it will be impossible to retain employees."
Chen Qiang hurriedly shook his head and said: "Uncle Chen, Aunt Chen helped my mother find a job last month that was easy and paid a lot of money. Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen are so good to our family, and I am learning from Brother Hao. I also want to If I want to change jobs or something like that, then I’m not a human being.”
Kang Hui sighed inwardly: No wonder Chen Minhao is such a good person, he has a good family background!
Chen Qiang returned to the kitchen to cook. Kang Hui turned around and said to Chen Minhao with a smile: "I have something to do this afternoon, so I didn't go to the first performance of your play, but I heard from friends in the circle that the response was very good. In my case On the way to your house, several important directors called me and wanted to invite you to audition."
The forms of expression in dramas are different from those in movies and TV series. Dramas are the most test of actors' acting skills.
There is no post-production, no NG, no do-over, and no post-production in a play. Acting in a drama is like a bottle of makeup remover, which can restore an actor's most authentic acting skills.
Kang Hui continued to smile and said: "I also heard from several directors that Wang Guoping, the leader of Renyi, was full of praise for you and said that you have the potential to win the Golden Lion Award."
Chen Minhao said with a smile: "Well, Wang Guoping came to look for me backstage. He said that Renyi was planning to remake the classic drama "Thunderstorm", but Zhou Chong has never found a suitable actor, and he wanted me to give it a try .”
Kang Hui stood up excitedly: "What did he say? This role can be decided by you. Or do you still have to audition?"
Chen Minhao said awkwardly: "I have already refused."
Kang Hui's voice raised a few decibels and asked: "Why? This is the opportunity that many actors dream of! Many domestic directors have a preference for actors born in dramas. What you want to do is to be an actor with good skills and strength, and in the drama After working hard in the club for several months, and finally going home with a Golden Lion Award, isn’t it a good harvest of both fame and strength?”
Chen Minhao thought for a while and said: "Zhou Chong is an important role in "Thunderstorm". Generally speaking, a drama needs to be rehearsed for at least half a year. Next, I will be busy with the Spring Festival Gala and the concert. Even if I agree to Wang Guoping's follow-up, I may still You have to take time off often.”
Kang thought about it and said, "But you often took leave when rehearsing "The Tribulation of Life and Death", but I heard other people say that you performed the best."
Chen Minhao raised his eyelids and said, "That's because the members of the drama club are all students. Even if I take leave, I can still beat them in terms of acting skills."
Kang Hui nodded and said, "Are you worried that you often take time off and can't keep up with the pace of other actors in "Thunderstorm"?"
Chen Minhao chuckled lightly and said, "That's not true. People's hearts are complicated. I'm worried that some actors will think that I often take time off to act like a big star. They will expose me to the media when I often take time off, and then it will be easy to offend Wang Guoping."
Kang Hui nodded and said: "I will act in a play when I have time in the future! By the way, why did you refuse? If you didn't refuse, you would be too blunt and offend Wang Guoping, right?"
"That shouldn't happen." Chen Minhao was stunned for a moment and said, "I just said the agent doesn't allow it."
Kang Hui nodded stiffly: "That's good, I'll go see if Chen Qiang's rice is ready?"
Chen Minhao stretched himself and thought: Apart from the Spring Festival Gala this year, I should be done with all the things I have to do. Alas, as my status in the entertainment industry increases, I have less and less time to rest.
Kang Hui was obviously used to taking the blame, and his expression returned to normal while eating: "By the way, the company's financial officer called me today, and they received the payment for "Detective". As of September 1st , the final box office of the movie was 1.07 billion two months after its release. According to the agreed ratio, the share is more than 30 million. If Shenmeng takes half of it and then deducts taxes, it should be more than 7.6 million."
Chen Qiang first counted on his fingers blankly, and then said angrily: "This tax must be too much!"
Chen Minhao's heart was bleeding, but he still said with a smile: "Paying taxes is the responsibility and obligation of each of us. If there is no tax, where will the country protect our various rights? The road at the door, the bridge by the river It’s all collected from countless taxes. If you think about it from another perspective, you just want this money to be used to build roads in Salt Water. Wouldn’t it feel much better?”
Kang Hui originally prepared several different legal tax avoidance plans, but in the end he swallowed the words.
