The movie star is crying, the CEO sister loves me

When Jiang Ci and Lin Xingcheng went to the restaurant next door, Shi Shaoxuan and Zhang Wu both had knowing expressions. Especially Shi Shaoxuan was mean, which made Lin Xingcheng a little embarrassed.

"Don't donate all your eyes tomorrow."

Jiang Ci gave a cold laugh and said lightly.

Shi Shaoxuan immediately covered his eyes and waved his hands: "It's wrong, it's wrong. Please let me go, brother and sister-in-law."

Zhang Wu was gloating on the sidelines.

Lin Xingcheng secretly tugged on Jiang Ci's sleeve, telling him not to worry about this matter, and quickly took it off.

Jiang Ci took Lin Xingcheng's seat with a cold face. The revolving dining table several meters wide was filled with plates of different shapes.

There are seafood sashimi, soups and cooked dishes, all of which are relatively light.

It was obviously carefully prepared.

……

the other side.

Wan Lihong and the other two assistant directors were drinking and talking about "Mirror Shadow".

"Oh, there must be no problem with the funds. Haven't Hengxing already taken the majority? Besides, with Wan Dao you here, I'm still afraid that I won't be able to attract investment. I think we all work according to the highest standards and do something big. "

"It's the Spring Festival next year. With such a good schedule, it won't be easy to make billions at the box office. By the way, it also won the Best Film Award. Jiang Ci must also be the Best Actor."

The two assistant directors drank a little wine and started blowing the cannon with their faces as red as monkey butts.

Wan Lihong also drank a lot, but he was not delirious. He only said:

"Xingxing invested a lot of money, but the money is not inexhaustible like sea water. It still has to be used carefully. After all, "Mirror Shadow" is a fantasy fairy tale, and the special effects must account for the majority."

Special effects are particularly important in fantasy movies. This is where you absolutely cannot save money. Sometimes it is not surprising that one minute of particle special effects costs millions or tens of millions.

"Then the special effects company will find the best in China, or directly find the big international game companies, and the effects will be damn good. When "Mirror Shadow" is aired, I don't believe there are still people on the Internet who are complaining that the special effects can't be produced in China. Blockbusters.”

As he spoke, he became more and more indignant. He raised his hand and slapped the table excitedly. The "pop" sound frightened all the celebrities and actors in the box, and they all looked up from eating.

The other assistant director also had a lot of emotions. Holding a wine glass in his hand, he also started to vomit his bitterness.

"You are right. Who do they look down on? How can outsiders understand the helplessness and powerlessness of people like us? In fact, to put it bluntly, we can do what foreign countries can do. We just have no money. If we have money and investment, we want to What kind of blockbuster movie do you want?"

"Sometimes I think about it. Capital doesn't believe in us, nor does it believe in the market. It sticks to the old rules. We have no choice but to shoot some romance. Sometimes it's really frustrating."

If you shoot too many idol dramas, you will get tired of romance movies and youth movies. There are also other types of movies, but they are rare.

And now is an era where traffic is paramount. Movies and TV series must involve popular stars, or veteran actors and actresses.

The pay is high, but sometimes the results are mediocre.

If you don't ask for traffic, you won't be able to attract enough investment. Unless the director pays it forward himself, where will the tens of millions come from?

You can't even make it by selling your blood.

Wan Lihong understands them very well, and he has been there before. He is one of the luckier directors. He was famous in the film industry from the beginning, and only then can he get to where he is today step by step.

These two assistant directors are still filming TV series most of the time. The market for TV series is much worse than the movie market. It basically revolves around the love between men and women, and there is little room for development.

In order to appease the investors, no matter how bad the script is, you have to finish filming, otherwise you won't get the final payment. There are also other messes, such as adding scenes, adding characters, etc. There are too many such things.

Therefore, Wan Lihong was extremely lucky that Jiang Ci took over Hengxing Entertainment, which gave him a lot of free space.

"Just endure it. Once you reach a certain level, you won't have to worry about these things."

Wan Lihong patted their shoulders and comforted them.

The assistant director immediately flattered me: "So I'd better work with you, Director Wan. You don't have to worry about funding. You can even choose the actors at will. How great."

This man was drunk and spoke arrogantly, which made Gu Weiliang, who was sitting next to him, turn slightly blue.

Since she became famous, she has never suffered this kind of humiliation. She has always been picky and picky. Whenever someone calls her "whatever" she wants, her temper suddenly rises.

However, no matter how angry she was, she still remembered the purpose of coming here this time. She had to get the female lead in "Mirror Shadow".

We can't wait any longer. If we wait any longer, these people will be drunk. They will get the answer tonight.

Gu Weiliang looked at Wan Lihong, held back his temper, and softened his tone: "Director Wan, I just read the script of "Mirror Shadow". I admire the character Xuan Xueyue very much. He has practiced hard since he was a child, pursued detachment, and stayed true to his heart. But it is not pedantic, it dares to love and hate but is not limited to love. It just so happens that the audience likes this genre now."

Tonight, Wan Lihong also brought the screenwriter and draft script, and each actor was given a copy after they came in, just for viewing.

These words touched Wan Lihong's heart, and he nodded and said: "I have discussed this role with the screenwriter more than ten times, and carefully designed and polished it. Although she does not have many roles, I will try my best to make her plump. After all, she is the leading female role."

Gu Weiliang nodded and said with a smile, "I can tell."

"Actually, I was interested in you playing Xuan Xueyue from the beginning, so I called you here." Wan Lihong got straight to the point and didn't mince words, "It's best if you have a schedule."

Before Jiang Ci left, he told him that he had no objections to the casting, as long as everything served the role, so Wan Lihong stopped doing Tai Chi and pointed it out to Gu Weiliang directly.

As soon as Wan Lihong said these words, everyone else's hearts froze. Isn't this just asking people to come over and run with them?

Gu Weiliang was pleasantly surprised: "Of course, thanks to Director Wan for his kindness, Weiliang still has to make time even if he puts off other work."

It was a foregone conclusion, and the other actors could only watch helplessly as Gu Weiliang and Wan Lihong drank and chatted, their back teeth almost shattered.

Unexpectedly, Wan Lihong took a sip of wine and said to everyone: "Don't worry, of course I didn't ask you to come here in vain."

"Mirror Shadow" has a large worldview and many characters. Wan Lihong's idea this time is very bold. He hopes to create an all-star cast, and the number of special actors is planned to exceed double digits.

Being able to participate in a big production is a good opportunity for many actors to build their reputation.

A little disappointment flashed in the eyes of He Meng, who was sitting on the side.

Other characters don't interact much with Jiang Ci, but at least being in the same crew with him is not a loss.

……

The clock hand in the lobby on the first floor of Yuxiu points to nine o'clock.

He Meng and Gu Weiliang walked out of the elevator. He Meng pursed his lips and showed no expression on his face. On the other hand, Gu Weiliang was so proud that even his eyebrows were dancing.

"Congratulations, sister, for winning the second female lead in Wan Dao's new movie. I watched it and she had a lot of scenes."

Gu Weiliang was not in a hurry to leave. She turned the tip of her high heels and faced He Meng, deliberately congratulating her.

He Meng chuckled and looked back at her:

"Thank you, senior. I am indeed young and still have a lot to learn, and my acting skills are a little immature and not as mature as yours. It is quite unexpected that I can get the second female lead tonight. After all, I am not very qualified." The character Xuan Xueyue."
