Whether they are students who have not yet graduated from film school or veteran actors in their 60s, for them, being able to play a role in "Flying Tigers" has become their biggest dream at the moment.
Liu Ye is also very yearning for "Flying Tigers". Although he has been playing some delicate young characters since his debut, deep down in his personal heart, he is particularly eager to play some tough guy images, especially frontal ones. It's just that it's hard to come across such a drama, and even if you can come across it, you may not have the chance to act in it.
Therefore, although Liu Ye talks about having dreams, he actually knows in his heart that he would never have the chance to make a movie like "Flying Tigers" even in his dreams.
The agent sitting opposite him said at this time: "I will ask someone to inquire later to see if I can get you a role in it, but to be honest, you really need to change your acting career. If you don't have one in the near future, If you have a suitable script, we will find a way to make a commercial movie for you."
Liu Ye asked him: "Can't we make this movie about educated youth first? At least go for an audition first."
The agent sighed softly: "Although this is his first time as a director, he has been in this industry for a long time. If he passes the audition and doesn't act, he will definitely offend others, so I think it's better to wait a little and say I'm studying the script, and if there really isn't a more suitable script, it won't be too late for us to audition again."
Liu Ye hesitated for a moment, and when he saw the manager's insistent eyes, he nodded lightly: "Okay, I'll let you decide."
Liu Ye, who has just debuted, is very clear that the most important thing for him now is to listen to others' advice and eat enough. Movies are different from TV series, and the cost recovery model of TV series is also different from that of film and television. Therefore, there is no so-called ratings poison in the field of TV series, but movies It's different. Many actors will be branded as box office poison after starring in a few movies that are well-received but not well-received. Generally, investors and directors are extremely cautious about such actors, and no one wants to use such actors unless they have to. He is an actor, so Liu Ye’s manager’s concerns are not unreasonable. Acting in these literary films all day long, how can he be successful in his life
At this time, the agent also saw that Liu Ye was a little frustrated, so he comforted him: "You, don't think so much now. TV dramas are booming now. You must be popular. We can do this in the movie business." In the long run, as long as the TV series becomes a hit and your popularity is enough, we will definitely have a way to make a breakthrough in the film industry."
Liu Ye nodded and said helplessly: "We can only take a look first."
The manager deliberately changed the topic and asked him with a smile: "By the way, how is Yiyu doing lately?"
"Don't mention it." Liu Ye said: "After I left Happy Camp before, I wanted to go back, but Xiangnan Satellite TV invited Chen Wan there, and the show was completely made popular by Chen Wan. Wuyu has always regretted it. , coupled with the fact that I can only do an inconspicuous small program on a local station recently, I feel a little hard to get over this hurdle."
In 2003, Liu Ye and Xie Yu were still in a relationship, and they were still in love. At this time in their previous lives, the two of them had actually been together less and more apart because of their busy careers, but Xie Yu's relationship was unexpectedly caused by a strange combination of circumstances. I lost the good opportunity of Happy Camp, so my whole star journey suddenly fell into a quagmire. Now is the embarrassing period of life and death, so I have a lot of time, and I often come to Yanjing to accompany Liu Ye.
At this time, the manager sighed: "It's a pity. If Huyu hadn't left Happy Camp, she might have become popular all over the country by now."
Liu Ye said: "No one can say anything about this kind of thing. It's all the path you choose. I recently advised her that if it doesn't work out, she can switch to acting in TV series."
The agent said: "If she really has this idea, she can sign a brokerage agreement with our company, and I will help her find some good opportunities."
Liu Ye said: "It just so happens that she is in Yanjing. Would you like to have dinner together tonight?"
"Okay." The agent smiled and said, "You give her a call and I will make arrangements tonight."
Liu Ye nodded, and as soon as he took out his cell phone, it vibrated. When Liu Ye looked at the caller ID, he immediately smiled and said, "It really means that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, Hu Yu's call."
After that, Liu Ye pressed the answer button and said with a smile: "Hey, Yiyu."
"My dear, are you done with your work? I have something important that I must tell you face to face."
Liu Ye then said: "Just in time, Brother Lan said he wanted to treat us two to dinner. How about we eat together?"
"Oops." Xie Yu said hurriedly: "I have something very important to tell you in person. It's great news! Why don't you tell Brother Lan that we have something to do today and we can invite you another day? Let him eat it!”
Liu Ye said curiously: "It's such an important thing. We have to say it in person. Why don't we just say it on the phone?"
"Oops!" Xie Yu stamped her feet anxiously: "I have to leave you with some suspense, but I can tell you first that this is definitely a great thing! A huge good thing!"
Speaking of this, Xie Yu whispered again: "I can't tell you this yet, let alone let Brother Lan know about it. You will understand after I tell you when we meet."
Liu Ye had no choice but to say: "Okay, I'll tell Brother Lan."
"Well, come back as soon as you finish speaking. I'll be waiting for you at home."
"Okay." Liu Ye hung up the phone and said to his agent: "Huyu said she had something to do with me tonight, and she said we would treat you another day."
The agent nodded: "Okay, if you two have something to do, just go ahead and make an appointment another day."
…
When Liu Ye came out of the company, the first thing he did was to take a taxi back to his rented home in Yanjing. He was also curious about what good news Xie Yu had, and how much trouble he had to deal with.
As soon as she opened the door, Xie Yu happily rushed to him, pulled him into the room, closed the door, and said to him excitedly: "I received a phone call today, guess who is calling." Coming?"
Liu Ye said with an embarrassed look: "There are more than a billion people in China, how could I know who called you..."
Xie Yu curled her lips: "You are so boring. Guess what, you don't need any money!"
Liu Ye could only say: "Then you have to give me some hints, right?"
Xie Yu immediately smiled and said: "Okay, let me give you a hint. The person calling is related to the movie."
"Movie related?"
"Yes! And it's a movie you're looking forward to very much!"
Liu Ye smiled and said, "Could it be Spielberg who called you and said he wanted me to play the leading Chinese actor in "Flying Tigers"?"
"What a beautiful idea!" Xie Yu rolled her eyes at him and then smiled: "Although it's not as good as you think, the other party is indeed related to "Flying Tigers"."
Saying that, Xie Yu asked him: "Do you know Ning Hao?"
"Ning Hao?" Liu Ye thought for a while, nodded and said, "I have an impression that he was the producer of the "Oldboy" micro-movie, right? He has been working in Makino since then."
"Yes." Xie Yu nodded: "That's him. It is said that he has a very good relationship with Li Mu. Li Mu has authorized him to take charge of most of the matters regarding Makino's image. He is very powerful."
"Really?" Liu Ye couldn't help but ask, "Is he the one who called you?!"
"Yes." Xie Yu said: "He has a classmate who has a good relationship with me, so he found my mobile phone number and called me. He actually wanted to ask my friend for your contact information, and my friend I gave him my cell phone number directly.”
Liu Ye suddenly became excited and asked, "Then what's the matter with him calling?"
Xie Yu said: "He called because he wanted to sign you to Makino Image and become a signed artist of Makino Image."
"Sign Makino Image?!" Liu Ye said in surprise: "But I have a contract. My current management contract will not expire in three years..."
Xie Yu hurriedly said: "It doesn't matter. I've said that it doesn't matter how long your brokerage contract is. Makino Impression will help you coordinate and solve the problem, and you don't need to pay any breach of contract costs. They will handle it all."
Liu Ye asked: "Then have they said anything about "Flying Tigers"? If I agree to sign with Makino Imaging, will they let me star in "Flying Tigers"?"
Xie Yu said: "I asked, and he said that as long as you sign Makino Image, you will definitely be assigned a relatively important role in "Flying Tigers", but as for what role, he did not say clearly."
By signing with Makino Image, you can get a relatively important role in "Flying Tigers". This is indeed great news for Liu Ye! As soon as he heard this, he stood up from the sofa in excitement and said with a trembling voice: "If this is really the case, then I will definitely be willing to sign for Makino Impression!"
Xie Yu smiled and said, "I think so too. There are Li Mu and Makino Technology behind Makino Impression. Now that we have launched a big project like "Flying Tigers", the future prospects are bound to be limitless."
After saying that, Xie Yu added: "Then I will contact him right now and see when he is free. Let's chat in person."
Liu Ye nodded hurriedly, and then said a little tangledly: "Oh, Brother Lan can't explain it at that time. He has put a lot of thought into me. If I really sign for Makino Impression, what will happen to him?" That’s so unjust!”
"It's okay." Xie Yu comforted: "Ning Hao said that the specific details and conditions can be discussed in person. If you really feel that Brother Lan treats you well, you might as well communicate with Ning Hao and ask if you can let him Brother Lan has also signed a contract with Makino Impression, so you two can go there together and let Brother Lan be your agent."
"This..." Liu Ye said hesitantly, "I don't know if he can agree."
Xie Yu said: "Don't worry about whether he agrees or not, first communicate with Ning Hao. If he says yes, we will talk to Brother Lan. People go to higher places and water flows to lower places. I believe that Brother Lan will definitely do it." Make the right decision!”
Liu Ye nodded: "Then you should make an appointment with Ning Hao to meet and chat."
Xie Yu hummed and hurriedly called Ning Hao back.
After a while, Xie Yu hung up the phone and said excitedly: "Ning Hao attaches great importance to meeting you. He said he would drive over to pick us up to have dinner together and chat while eating. I promised him."
Liu Ye was also excited by Ning Hao's proactive attitude and said, "Then I'll wash my face quickly, and you go find my suit!"
