The production team of "My Stepfather" was very efficient. The next day Mei Zihan agreed to take over the script, he called and invited Mei Zihan to visit the production team.
Jiang Ying unexpectedly expressed that she also wanted to follow along.
A little shyness rose in Mei Zihan's heart.
Even if Jiang Ying really participated in his life and work, but thinking that Jiang Ying would see her rotten performance, she still felt too ashamed to play.
Of course, Mei Zihan didn't dare to refuse openly.
It was hard to get the little hand.
Therefore, Mei Zihan only pretended to ask casually with a caring expression: "My dear, I may not be able to take care of you when I was on the set. The domestic set is different from the foreign ones. Besides, don't you want to take care of you?" Are you going to work?"
Jiang Ying heard Mei Zihan's words and turned to look at him.
Mei Zihan looked at him puzzled.
Jiang Ying smiled slightly, "Summer vacation."
! ! !
"So early?" Mei Zihan was stunned for a moment, "Isn't it only June?"
"But I don't have any classes anymore." Jiang Ying looked at Mei Zihan and replied, "I have handed over the key points to the secretary of the Youth League Committee, and I just need to set aside a day to invigilate the exam."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ying took another deep look at Mei Zihan, "I should have sent you a copy of my work form a long time ago, haven't you read it?"
Mei Zihan was sweating like rain.
I'm coming.
The first important hurdle to test couples has arrived!
Jiang Ying knows everything about her work and life like the back of her hand, but she doesn't even know that he will have a summer vacation when he is fine? Changing places, Mei Zihan would definitely be furious.
But now the "scumbag" person has become himself, how to solve this
Heaven!
I haven't missed summer vacation for many years, how can I still remember
As for the worksheet, of course he had read it.
But isn't there too much going on recently? Ever since Jiang Ying became his "teacher", he subconsciously regarded Jiang Ying's actions as "personal teacher".
As a private teacher, summer vacation is the busiest time.
don't worry.
Calm down, Mei Zihan.
You must pass this level well!
Mei Zihan blessed her heart, and immediately took Jiang Ying's hand.
"Of course I read the work form. At that time, I was planning to go on a trip with you. I didn't expect you to like this drama. I took the job, and the trip would just go to waste. I wish I could never remember this. I'm all about you, but my dear, don't you think we both have too little private time?" Mei Zihan looked at Jiang Ying expectantly.
Full marks!
Mei Zihan applauded frantically for his extraordinary performance in his heart.
Not only did he utter sweet words, but he also pushed the question back against the customer.
It seems that if I don't become an actor in the future, maybe I can go to "XX Submission" to be a full-score class representative, and it would be good to be a marketing account.
Jiang Ying saw Mei Zihan's performance before and after, and seeing his smiling face, couldn't help pinching Mei Zihan's face with his hands.
Can you hide this bit of knowledge from him
Mei Zihan didn't know it herself, but Jiang Ying could see it clearly.
Twenty-seven years old, on the average man, he already has a mature and stable temperament. But not in Mei Zihan.
There is still some naivety in his character.
Maybe it's because he's been peaceful since he entered the entertainment circle, never becoming popular, nor was he suppressed much. Although I have been acting in some low-level dramas, it has been very smooth because of this. The actors in the crew don't have so many intrigues. On the contrary, they can be called brothers and sisters complaining to each other.
This characteristic has remained.
It's not the "juvenile spirit" that can only be shown after dressing up in a packaging box, but something inherent in his character.
Whether it is a celebrity or an actor, the reason why they are charming and able to stand out among countless beautiful faces is precisely because they purposefully magnify their "sparkling points" and have a unique "recognition degree".
For an unrecognizable artist, no matter how good his acting skills and business ability are, he cannot really reach the peak. But if you rely too much on "recognition", if you don't have a breakthrough in acting, you can only become a so-called "genre actor".
Both business ability and recognition are indispensable.
Such personality traits made Mei Zihan very popular, and Wang Xiaoman and others were also attracted by his appearance for several years.
It is precious in life, let alone in the entertainment industry
"If you had spent your mind on acting, you would have been famous by now." Jiang Ying couldn't help teasing.
"Then what if I put all my thoughts on you?" Mei Zihan didn't understand Jiang Ying's complicated thoughts, but looked at Jiang Ying seriously.
If I put all my thoughts on you, will we be able to grow old forever
Jiang Ying put her hand off Mei Zihan's face and just looked at him with a smile.
Maybe one day after you become popular, you will want to leave me first, maybe
———————
Mei Zihan originally thought that screenwriter Zhang's apprentice should be a fat, honest young man just like screenwriter Zhang. I didn't expect to be a little shocked when I saw the real person.
The young man in front of him looked about the same age as him, also in his twenties, tall and handsome.
He is a typical northern handsome guy.
Oh, this person should really change with that An Yihao who was scolded by him.
That's the way he should be filming military dramas, and that fat man An Yihao should be filming family dramas.
"Hi, I'm Wen Mingjiang." The man smiled and held out his hand.
"Hello, hello, I'm Mei Zihan. This is my friend Jiang Ying, he just came with me to see, I hope I don't disturb you." Mei Zihan quickly held his hand.
Wen Mingjiang looked at Jiang Ying with a little surprise in his eyes, but he soon calmed down.
He took it for granted that Mei Zihan's friend was also an actor.
"It's a pity." Wen Mingjiang said regretfully, "If I were filming another drama, I would definitely invite your friend to join. Your friend is too good-looking, and it doesn't fit "My Stepfather"."
"Haha, no, no." Mei Zihan knew that Wen Mingjiang had misunderstood, "Jiang Ying is not an actor, he is a college Chinese teacher. He likes Dao Wen's script very much, and that's why he wanted to come and have a look."
"Haha, I'm sorry." Wen Mingjiang readily apologized after knowing that he had misunderstood, "My script is so-so, not as good as my teacher's. But Mr. Jiang, it would be even better if you could give us some advice on our script."
"The director is polite." Jiang Ying replied with a smile, "I also joined some theater troupes when I was studying abroad. I was really curious about the domestic theater crews, so I asked Mei Zihan to bring me to open my eyes. I hope the director doesn't mind."
"I don't mind, I don't mind."
The three of them exchanged a few more pleasantries before getting to the point.
Wen Mingjiang brought Mei Zihan and Jiang Ying into the crew.
"Now we are still building some necessary props here. The lighting engineer and photographer are all my classmates and friends. As for actors, except Mr. Mei, the male lead actor, the rest are child actors. I invite the teacher Connected me with a few…”
Wen Mingjiang changed the "bright and handsome guy" image he had left for Mei Zihan before, and introduced the crew in a rambling manner.
After listening for a long time, Mei Zihan finally understood.
In fact, what Wen Mingjiang meant was very simple.
Although the crew is a grass-roots team, he is still looking for someone to do it very hard.
Among the actors in the entire crew, Mei Zihan was considered the biggest.
Finally, Wen Mingjiang came to the point, which was the issue of Mei Zihan's salary.
Even though Mei Zihan is an actor who is not even considered an 18th-line actor, the remuneration of the leading actor and supporting actor is still different.
In "The Widow of the Li Family", Mei Zihan, who has become a regular male supporting role, has to raise his salary, let alone the serious male lead now
Mei Zihan thought about the mortgage he had almost paid off, and the care that screenwriter Zhang had given him, and was defeated by Wen Mingjiang's slightly apologetic expression.
In the end, Mei Zihan agreed to the male lead's salary according to the previous male lead's price.
Of course, Wen Mingjiang wasn't that stingy either, and added a clause in the contract that if the show had any profits from the second round, the third round, or the online drama, Mei Zihan would be given 30% of it.
... As an aside, the investment in this drama is Wen Mingjiang himself and his brothers, so they can make decisions on their own.
Although the total sum is less than five million.
Mei Zihan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she also thanked the director for his kindness.
He has acted in TV dramas for so many years, and there is almost no chance of second-round and third-round sales of mother-in-law and daughter-in-law dramas. As for the network copyright...
The major websites have no interest at all except buying those popular and well-produced TV series. There are still a lot of online dramas they made themselves!
After signing the contract, Wen Mingjiang was relieved.
"I have the cheek to call Brother Mei. I am twenty-six this year." Wen Mingjiang looked at Mei Zihan and said, "Actually, our budget was enough, and Brother Mei's salary can also be satisfied. But I didn't expect that The parents of those child stars all raised the price, and the budget was tight, so... "
Wen Mingjiang felt a little embarrassed.
He is also considered to be familiar with it.
"Is the price of child stars very high recently?" Jiang Ying suddenly asked curiously.
"It depends on what kind of drama it is." Wen Mingjiang said depressedly, "Hasn't a lot of parent-child shows become popular recently? The price of child actors has been rising all the way, but in every TV series and movie, the hero and heroine have to have a son or daughter. I still choose Even though they are not so good-looking and a little more natural, but even so, they are still rising. However, if it is those high-profile dramas, many child stars would rather not have a paycheck and are willing to go."
