"Jiaojiao, you're done."
After hearing the director's words, Sheng Jiaoyang completely relaxed.
Just because the director temporarily changed the fate of the second female lead, she had to shoot for two more days.
"Thank you for your hard work. I'm going to invite everyone to dinner tonight. Director, will you approve this fake one?" Sheng Jiaoyang said to the director with a smile.
"Approval!" The director waved his hand.
Thanks to Sheng Jiaoyang, the crew and crew all had time to relax and have a good meal.
Because the director said that these two days would focus on filming the second female lead's scenes, Qu Wen didn't even come to the set, but Gu Zhou was on the set because he had a role in his role.
The group of people went to the hotel in a grand manner.
As a result, new tidbits about the crew of "Back Position" came out the next day. It was said that Qu Wen was excluded by the crew. The crew had dinner together. The male lead and the second female lead were both there, but the female lead was missing. This was not intentional. Excluded
Fans of Qu Wen have started tearing apart on the crew's official Weibo. They are tearing apart and even crawled to Jiaojiao's Weibo to curse. Jiaojiao fans are not vegetarians either. Although there are restrictions on fan management regulations, they cannot curse. Representatives cannot refute and retaliate, and each one has learned to flatten people without using profanity.
Sheng Jiaoyang didn't have time to manage her Weibo at this time. She was taking Ye Zi, who was completely transformed to describe it, to meet with a new director and a new screenwriter.
This was also the crew that had previously given her the entire script together with the novel before it was adapted.
Speaking of which, this is the first time the two parties have met.
"Hello, I am Qin Anliang, the director of "Double Lovers"."
"Hello, I am Ma Tingting, the screenwriter and original author of "Double Lovers"."
This side behaved very humbly and had a very low attitude.
Both of them look very young, like college students who are still studying. Although Jiaojiao is younger than them, Jiaojiao is now a popular actress with tens of millions of fame, and they are still newcomers, so this is what they The reason for the low attitude.
"I am Xu Jiaojiao. This is my assistant Zeng Huan. You have met my manager Xu Ping. Oh, and Ye Zi, she is my junior sister." Sheng Jiaoyang quickly introduced everyone on her side one by one. .
The first impressions of both parties were very good.
After sitting down, Sheng Jiaoyang asked: "I wonder how your preparations are going?"
At first, she remembered that Xu Ping said that the other party was preparing funds for the filming, which might take a month or two, which happened to be out of schedule with hers. She saw that the script was not bad, so she decided to take it.
I brought Ye Zi here today, of course, to help her get a role.
Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting looked at each other with embarrassed expressions on their faces.
"Did something happen?" Sheng Jiaoyang asked after seeing their expressions.
Qin Anliang coughed slightly, and said helplessly: "Miss Xu, you also know that Tingting and I are ordinary people with no connections, and those film and television companies and investment companies either dismiss it or want to buy it out We have the rights to film it ourselves, and we also want to bring in money to join the team and play the leading role, but we just want to stick to our principles."
"This script is our own work, just like our children, we don't want others to get involved, so I'm sorry, Miss Xu, the filming of our drama may have to be postponed indefinitely." Ma Tingting said sincerely.
"What if I am the one who brings the capital into the group?" Sheng Jiaoyang held his chin in one hand and propped it on the table, with a slight smile on his face.
Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting were both stunned.
"Miss Xu, you..." Qin Anliang hesitated.
Sheng Jiaoyang's lips curved, "You want to ask me how much money I can invest?"
Ma Tingting said anxiously and expectantly: "We have budgeted that apart from the remuneration paid to Miss Xu, it will cost at least five million."
They obviously understood that Jiaojiao had only debuted for less than a year. Apart from filming a perfume commercial, she had never received any endorsements. Even if she had so much money, would she be so determined to invest it? And now I don’t know if it will pass the review. If it fails to pass the review after the film is released, it means that the money will be wasted.
"Five million..." Sheng Jiaoyang muttered.
Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting looked at each other and saw the other's thoughts in each other's eyes. They had no hope.
Five million is only a small number for a large investment company. Even so, other investment companies will not invest easily. What's more, it's an individual. Even if you are a top celebrity, you can't take out five million immediately if you want to. You will definitely consider the gains and losses first.
Sheng Jiaoyang knocked on the table and asked, "When do you want the money to arrive?"
"Miss Xu, do you want to pay for this?" Qin Anliang was shocked.
"Money is not an issue. I also have connections. I don't have to ask for the additional salary, but," Sheng Jiaoyang's eyes burned, "I want 70%!"
She has carefully read both the script and the novel. They are indeed good, and there are no bad elements in them. Approval is not a problem. As for the time for approval, she can take care of it. She has also gotten to know Qin Anliang a little bit. After watching a short film he made, I still recognized his ability.
Neither Qin Anliang nor Ma Tingting could have imagined such a turn. Let alone 30%, even 10% they would feel satisfied, because what they wanted was not money, but autonomy. If it was just for money, why not just sell the copyright to others.
"Does Miss Xu have any other requests?" Qin Anliang was more cautious and did not agree immediately.
"I won't interfere with you, and you can come to me if you have any difficulties."
Sheng Jiaoyang smiled and said, "Anyway, as you said, Zhou Yilin will keep me."
Yilin Zhou is the name of the heroine in "Double Lovers".
As the name suggests, this heroine has two sides and is a relatively sophisticated character. This role is different from the previous roles, and it is quite challenging for Sheng Jiaoyang.
"Oh, right."
Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting looked at each other and came.
Seeing the nervousness on both of their faces, Sheng Jiaoyang smiled to herself, and said seriously: "See if there are any suitable roles for Ye Zi in "Double Lovers". Just give her a chance to audition."
The two men breathed a sigh of relief.
Qin Anliang looked at Ma Tingting, and Ma Tingting also glanced at him and said, "I thought Miss Ye's image was very good just now. What do you think of An Xiaotian?"
"Female number two?" Sheng Jiaoyang raised his eyebrows slightly.
Ye Zi's eyes widened. She, who had been playing a supporting role for five years, suddenly had the opportunity to audition for the second female lead.
"Everyone happens to be here. Ye Zi, you can try out a scene here. Although the role of An Xiaotian is the second female lead, she is not a vicious supporting actress. She is a bit cute and cute. Screenwriter Ma..." Sheng Jiaoyang looked at Ma Tingting. .
"Just call me Tingting." Ma Tingting said quickly.
"Tingting," Sheng Jiaoyang called out in a good-natured voice, "then create a situation for her and let her try out a scene. If it doesn't suit you, don't force it."
Ye Zi looked very nervous, what a great opportunity this was!
Ma Tingting pondered for a moment and said to Ye Zi: "Miss Ye, let me tell you briefly first. An Xiaotian's character is a bit dull, and she is an optimist and cute character. She is the protagonist who was lost by the adoptive parents of the heroine. Biological daughter, then you should act in a scene where An Xiaotian is criticized by the heroine for doing something wrong, and then the biological parents come in to recognize her parents. You have to show your reaction to the sudden recognition situation."
Ye Zi breathed rapidly and felt that her brain was a little blank.
Sheng Jiaoyang raised his hand and patted Ye Zi on the shoulder, encouraging: "Don't be so nervous. Your appearance is already very suitable for this role. Put yourself into An Xiaotian's situation, and I will help you with the scene."
With her co-starring, it will be easier for Ye Zi to get into this role.
Ye Zi also thought of this. She glanced at Sheng Jiaoyang with gratitude, took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and tried to conceive the picture Ma Tingting said in her mind.
"I'm fine." Ye Zi stood up.
"Just stand here and treat it as an office and I am your boss." Sheng Jiaoyang said.
Ye Zi nodded, and then began to adjust his demeanor, making himself look like a person being criticized, with self-blame and sadness on his face.
Sheng Jiaoyang leaned back in the chair, folded her hands across her chest, and the expression on her face instantly became serious. She gently raised her eyes and glanced at Ye Zi, giving people a strong and majestic feeling. She has transformed into Zhou Yilin, who is a strong woman in the workplace.
"Do you know that because of your lack of rigor, our budget is far from the reality? Now that the project is halfway through, there is no funds to continue the operation. Where do you ask me to find so much money to make up for it? Seven million Ah, give it to me?" Her eyes seemed to be dancing with fire, and there was a kind of suppressed anger all over her body.
Ye Zi was immediately brought into that situation. She trembled slightly, her wide-open eyes showed fear and anxiety. She bit her lip, as if she would cry in the next second.
"At this time, your biological parents pushed in the door, and your biological mother hugged you and cried, 'My baby, mom misses you so much'." Ma Tingting said.
Ye Zi's face was originally filled with sadness and self-reproach, but when Ma Tingting's words fell, she looked dull again. Five seconds later, she blinked, rolled her eyes, innocent and confused, and pointed at the sitting person. Sheng Jiaoyang said: "Madam, you have recognized the wrong person. Where is your baby?"
"Okay, that's it." Ma Tingting interrupted with a smile, "Ms. Ye is very capable. She can grasp the essence of An Xiaotian so quickly. Her performance is very good, and it completely conforms to my idea of An Xiaotian."
"Just call me Ye Zi." Ye Zi said shyly.
Xu Ping, who had been silent on the side, smiled and said: "You are not much different in age, and we are partners from now on, so there is no need to be polite."
"Sister Ping is right. From now on we are both partners and friends, so don't be so polite. You can just call me Jiaojiao. Come on, let's order food first. As for other things, we can discuss them in detail after dinner." Sheng Jiaoyang handed the menu to Qin Anliang and Ma Tingting.
The unfamiliarity between them disappeared instantly. (To be continued)
