When Chen Minhao spoke again, his state had changed. From being neither humble nor arrogant just now, he suddenly became a little excited.
If it was a steady flowing stream just now, then now it is a rushing torrent in the valley, jumping over rocks and dangerous cliffs.
Chen Minhao said excitedly: "I have an idea that I think is very crazy, but if I don't tell you, I may regret it for the rest of my life."
After pausing for a moment and skipping the heroine's feedback, Chen Minhao said: "I want to continue chatting with you. I'm not sure if I have similar feelings, but I think we have a common language."
Chen Minhao had a smile on his lips, as if he had received positive feedback: "Great! Now I have an idea. Get off the bus in Vienna and let's see the city together."
His eyes seemed to be shining with excitement: "Come on, this will be fun. Come on!"
The corners of his mouth raised unconsciously, and he stared at an open space next to him and said, "I don't know. I only know that I will leave on the nine-thirty flight tomorrow. I don't have money to stay in a hotel, so I'm going to wander around. If you It's going to be a lot of fun traveling with me. If you think I'm a psycho in the process, you can always go back to the station."
"Cut." The white woman said. She looked at Chen Minhao with joyful eyes, "That's all."
Chen Minhao immediately pulled away from the role he just played, adjusted his facial expression, and said, "Okay, thank you for giving me the opportunity to audition. I hope we can work together if we have the opportunity."
The white woman nodded and said, "Please don't leave yet, please wait outside for a while."
The other four people behind the audition table had no objections to her decision.
Chen Minhao is relatively sure that he has got this role.
Sure enough, after waiting for half an hour, a white woman came over and told him that he got the role of Li Changgeng.
"My name is Jessica Li. I am the director and screenwriter of "Love Is Here" and the producer of this movie." She said to Chen Minhao with a smile. "Your performance is as impressive as your singing. I'm looking forward to seeing you perform again."
Jessica Li continued: "I just learned that you are a very well-known male star in China, and your film salary is relatively high. Although I am sorry, I have to admit that as an independent film, "Love" has limited funds. , I wonder what your minimum demand is in terms of remuneration?"
This is to lower his salary. Chen Minhao realized.
"Does the movie "Love Is" accept investment?" Chen Minhao asked.
Jessica was stunned: "What?"
Chen Minhao scratched the back of his head and said: "If the production funds for "Love Is Here" are not sufficient, the general manager of my company is very interested in it and can invest in it."
The air was quiet for two seconds.
Jessica Li coughed lightly: "Chen, this joke is not funny."
"No, no, no, I'm really not joking."
"How much money can your company invest?" Seeing that Chen Minhao didn't look like he was joking, Jessica Li adjusted her black-rimmed glasses and asked a little nervously.
Chen Minhao smiled and said, "The general manager of my company is downstairs. How about I invite her to come up and have a detailed chat with you?"
Jessica Li nodded excitedly: "Okay! If there are sufficient funds, I can shoot "Love Is Here" even better!"
Chen Minhao dialed Kang Hui's number in front of Jessica: "Mr. Kang, is it convenient for you to go to the second floor now? If it is convenient, a staff member will pick you up later."
Kang Hui, who was waiting anxiously downstairs, was about to ask Chen Minhao how the audition was, when she heard the word "Mr. Kang". She felt that all the capillaries in her body were opened, and there was a need for her to enter a fighting state. Feel.
After the staff took Kang back to the second floor, Chen Minhao was the first to speak: "This is Jessica Li, she is the director and producer of "Love Is Here". She wants to discuss with you about investing in "Love Is Here" matter."
Seeing Kang Hui's dumbfounded expression, Chen Minhao looked away subtly.
If you really want to invest, it will definitely involve the investment share and the proportion of equity.
Arguing over money with the director will harm your own image.
But for the sake of your own image, if you don’t care about the director, it will definitely hurt your money.
Therefore, this glorious and arduous task was left to Kang Hui.
Kang Hui did not disappoint Chen Minhao and immediately entered negotiation mode.
However.
While Kang Hui was negotiating, he had a question in his mind, weren't you here for the audition? Why did he suddenly transform into a financial sponsor dad
Negotiations between Jessica Lee and Kang Hui went very smoothly, and an agreement was reached that night.
Jessica Lee invested US$3 million and served as director, enjoying 65% of the profits.
Chen Minhao Studio invested 2 million US dollars, and Chen Minhao played the leading role and enjoyed 35% of the profits.
When the two parties signed the contract, Jessica Li asked her confusion: "Why is Mr. Kang's company called Chen Minhao Studio?"
Chen Minhao explained to Jessica Li: "China's national conditions."
Chen Minhao feels that one company vest is not enough. He made up his mind that after returning to China, he would register several more companies to deal with different scenarios.
Jessica Li accepted this explanation and nodded: "Well, China is a magical country. The filming of "Love Is Here" officially started in early February. We will see you then."
"Okay, see you then." Chen Minhao nodded.
After Jessica Li left, Kang Hui frowned instinctively: "From now on, you will have to film in Vienna during the New Year."
Chen Minhao smiled: "But there is a good thing. I don't have to ask for leave this semester. I just feel a little sorry for my parents. Before coming to Vienna in February, I plan to go back to my hometown to spend time with my parents."
Kang Hui nodded.
In the three months of November, December, and January, Chen Minhao could count the number of notices he posted on two hands.
He spent most of the time in class, and the rest of the time was reading the script, familiarizing himself with the lines, and figuring out the characters.
The whole winter was uneventful. If there is any uproar, it is that the concert live broadcast model pioneered by Chen Minhao has been adopted and used by more and more singers.
Therefore, as a "pioneer" in creating the live broadcast model, Chen Minhao's concerts are inevitably compared.
Then netizens discovered that there is no harm without comparison.
Although Chen Minhao has not made any big moves this winter, his popularity on the Internet has not diminished.
On February 3rd, Chen Minhao arrived in Vienna.
The hotel arranged by the crew is a five-star hotel located on the banks of the Danube River.
When we arrived at the hotel, it was already dark, but the lights were on and the Danube River was very lively.
Director Jessica Lee was waiting for Chen Minhao in the hotel lobby. After meeting, she gave him a warm hug.
After the greetings, Jessica Li took out two opera tickets and handed them to Chen Minhao:
"Caroline, who plays Selina, the heroine of "Amour", will arrive tomorrow morning. Before the official filming begins, you will spend a few days in Vienna, watch the opera, walk around the streets and alleys, and get familiar with each other. "
Chen Minhao nodded and accepted two opera tickets.
The success of romance films largely depends on the chemistry between the male and female protagonists.
It would have been difficult for the movie to succeed if the two were previously incompatible and couldn't ring.
But if sparks fly between the two, the movie is more than half done.
