Mei Zihan's agreement to star in this action New Year's film did not surprise everyone.
Because there is no reason to reject the film. New Year's Eve action movie, with a box office of 1.5 billion, one of the two male protagonists, all cooperating with big-name actors, the characters are not complicated, the acting is very easy, and the pay is high. How could anyone refuse such a good thing
Liu Tianyi quickly called the producer, agreed to act, and agreed on the date of signing the contract and the deadline for joining the group. The producer was also quite straightforward, and immediately paid 1/3 of the film's salary. Mei Zihan counted the zeros on the text message, smiling so hard that his teeth couldn't see.
But after signing the contract, the producer made another request.
"Although the main feature of our film is an all-star cast, there are also many roles that have not been confirmed."
Mei Zihan blinked and looked at Liu Tianyi beside him, as if he didn't quite understand what the other party meant by this.
As soon as Liu Tian stretched out his hand, he secretly pinched Mei Zihan, signaling him not to speak, and let him do all the talking.
"Is that so? Our Qun Yu company also has many good newcomers." Liu Tianyi said, looking at the producer with a smile.
"If you need it." The producer and Liu Tianyi exchanged an understanding look, "We will also hold an audition meeting. If it is convenient for you, why not come and have a look together."
Having said this, Mei Zihan finally understood what the other party meant.
It turned out that the other party was signaling that he could bring a few people into the group.
Now there are many star actors who have opened their own studios, and naturally some of them have signed newcomers. In order to praise these newcomers, some stars will be willing to bring the newcomers into their crews and give him a small role. Of course, the salary of this role is unnecessary. If you are not allowed to lower the salary, it is already worthy of the money is you.
Mei Zihan has also experienced this kind of thing. The former Zhuang Hanbai joined the group because of his girlfriend.
However, such a big production can make the producer let go of such a condition, which is undoubtedly very important to Mei Zihan.
Taking a step back, even if Mei Zihan had no money and no intention of training those newcomers to be bosses, he could still exchange the resources in his hands with the company.
There are sure to be plenty of up-and-coming actors who will pay something for their willingness to show their faces in a movie like this.
This is also a small benefit.
Celebrities are people too. There are so many beautiful men and women in the entertainment industry, and they don't have to be responsible. How many people can bear it
The producer left after speaking.
Mei Zihan and Liu Tianyi were still sitting there without moving.
"Come back to your senses, what are you thinking?" Liu Tianyi pushed Mei Zihan, seeing that Mei Zihan was still foolish.
"It's really good to be popular." Mei Zihan suddenly sighed, "I used to be so hard to get a role, but now I can take a role for others?"
"Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps. This is the status quo in the entertainment industry. If you are popular, you can have everything. If you are not popular, just obediently see what you have and whether you want to exchange it. Those who are willing to go through the back door go through the back door, and those who hide the rules Unspoken rules, those who look for a company look for a company, how can there be something for nothing in the world?"
"The audition he mentioned, I kind of want to see it." Mei Zihan blinked excitedly and curiously, "I used to participate in auditions for others to watch, and finally now it's my turn to watch other people's auditions gone."
"Let me see if the time can be coordinated for you." Whenever Mei Zihan showed such an expression, Liu Tianyi knew that there was no need to discuss things.
Mei Zihan is such a strange person. He pays attention to the key points of things, and seems to be on a different level of thinking than ordinary people.
Others were concerned about how much benefit this condition could bring them, and how to fill in the people they wanted to audition for, but what Mei Zihan wanted was to watch other people's performances.
"By the way, brother Liu, should we take someone with us?" It's a bastard not to take advantage of the advantages, and Mei Zihan didn't intend to be so virtuous and push away the benefits of being delivered to the door. Even if this benefit is pushed out, his salary will not increase.
"Isn't the company planning to promote a rookie group? Let's ask that rookie group to take over and see who has the skills." Liu Tian said without looking back, "You're already popular now, so you can do it appropriately. Support the younger generation and make a name for yourself."
"I'm not a junior, I'm still young, okay?"
"Make your movie well." Liu Tianyi refused to argue with Mei Zihan on this issue.
Compared with those little fresh meats who made their debut in their teens, Mei Zihan, who was nearly thirty, was indeed an old senior.
The news that Mei Zihan was able to bring a few newcomers to participate in the Lunar New Year film quickly spread throughout Qunyu Entertainment.
Originally, Mei Zihan and Liu Tianyi's idea was to take that newcomer group with them. After all, they still have a TV series to cooperate with this year, and establishing a good relationship in advance will also facilitate future filming.
But what they didn't realize was that it wasn't just newcomers who wanted the opportunity.
"Hello, Senior Brother." A girl with a smile like a flower rushed to Mei Zihan, holding a delicate notebook in both hands, "Senior Brother, I also graduated from Normal University, can you sign for me?"
The first one who mustered up the courage to come to Mei Zihan's side to get close was also a beautiful girl from Capital Normal University.
Ever since Mei Zihan became famous, many people have set their sights on the normal school. Even Liu Tianyi had seen many newcomers in the company who were similar to Mei Zihan.
Mei Zihan's popularity this year is a miracle in the eyes of the industry, and everyone wants to repeat this miracle. Some of Mei Zihan's data has been studied over and over again, and selecting newcomers based on this data has become the selection criteria for many entertainment companies.
Looking at those newcomers who were more or less similar to her walking around in front of her, Mei Zihan felt a little complicated.
They made it clear that they wanted to gain popularity under the banner of Xiaomei Zihan. If there is nothing to do, I will say in front of the reporter that I have a good relationship with myself as a teacher and brother. God knows that Mei Zihan has never even heard of these people's names.
Mei Zihan has experienced this kind of thing a lot, and Mei Zihan has also learned to turn a blind eye and close one eye. Anyway, it will not be true that a few stupid reporters will come to him and ask him if he and a certain newcomer are real. Very friendly
The entertainment industry is a class-specific place.
Different regions lead to different circles, the schools they came from, the directors they made friends with, and even the entertainment companies they signed with, etc., are all labels that divide these stars.
"Work hard." Mei Zihan raised a polite smile, skillfully signed her name on the notebook, then turned and left without giving the girl in front of her a single extra look.
The girl gritted her teeth, still a little unwilling.
Mei Zihan has always kept himself clean.
Men and women in the company, how many people coveted him? If you can have an affair with him, you won't have to worry about attention.
But Mei Zihan has been in the company for so long, and no one has ever succeeded.
Before entering the entertainment circle, the girl also thought that she might be like the heroine on TV, she could easily get the role and sell well at the box office. But after entering, I realized that things were not that simple.
There are many people in the company who are sitting on the bench like her, and they can only shoot a few small commercials and appear on some programs that are unlikely to be broadcast at all. Even if the company arranges a good resource for you, you can only be the background board.
When she was studying, she even laughed at some Xiaosheng Xiaohua who would always play the same role and the same idol drama. But now he realizes that being able to keep acting in idol dramas and playing the leading role is already a remarkable achievement.
"Why does Mei Zihan care about a junior sister? You don't even look at how many years she has graduated."
"I don't know how many people are staring at the characters in this movie. The most likely one is the star combination."
"It's already pretty good that we can go out and shoot online dramas, let's go to a few more auditions."
Just two steps away, a few more people surrounded him.
This time, it wasn't newcomers who came, but a few little stars who had talked at the annual meeting.
These people can't get along in the company. They belong to filming and can be familiar in front of the audience, but basically no one remembers their names. They didn't dare to come alone, so they invited several people together.
Liu Tianyi didn't move at the side, it was up to Mei Zihan how to deal with it.
Mei Zihan hid her impatience very well, and said a few words to them with a smile.
Although Liu Tianyi didn't expect Mei Zihan to be good at dancing, his current performance has improved a lot from his low EQ back then.
Of course, this is also related to the low level of competitors. These people are either not well-known or have no qualifications. Even if Mei Zihan's indifference and words are less, will anyone blame him? On the contrary, it will make the public feel that they are overreaching.
After finally returning to the office, Mei Zihan was exhausted.
"My mother. Brother Liu, what's the situation at the company? Which one to take to let them decide or it's over, why do you bother me?" Mei Zihan felt that dealing with these people was worse than shooting a scene for three consecutive days. to be tired.
"The company thinks it's fine, you can take it as you like." Liu Tianyi said casually, "Anyway, there will be no salary for bringing it there, it's just a face-lifting, it's a bit tasteless, the company can't just do it for such a few small things. The role will be specially held for discussion, and the rest will either come to you or me."
"Why do I feel like they're all directed at me?" Mei Zihan frowned.
"That's because you didn't see whoever was looking for me." Liu Tianyi thought for a while, "Actually, I think there are a few good people, and they all came to my door, so I can do whatever I want."
"Brother Liu, don't be so wretched. Do you still want to play the unspoken rules?"
"When I was young and ignorant, I might play for a while, but forget it now." Liu Tianyi shook his head with a smile. For this, he had already paid a high enough price. How could he fall into the same pit twice
