Jiang Yuqian is busy filming on the set of "Telephone".
Despite this, she has not been idle in business. She officially announced two endorsements in one month, and her commercial value is quite high.
Now Jiang Yuqian is even more popular than Lu Yanhe.
Although Lu Yanhe is not idle either, she is much more exposed than Lu Yanhe.
If you give up, you will get something. In this regard, Jiang Yuqian will be rewarded as much as she gives.
Moreover, in order to get her own drama broadcast, Jiang Yuqian also took the initiative to contact Yue Hutai to ask for a script, and was willing to act in a jump theater drama later.
In the current market, there are only dance theater plays, which have a short production cycle and are broadcast quickly.
Just like the positioning of this theater from the beginning, for big-name actors, this theater has a very big advantage, that is, the production cycle is short and can be used to fill the schedule.
-
In fact, more actors are interested in jump theater than they initially expected.
Many actors have taken the initiative to ask about scripts to see if there are any roles suitable for them.
However, Jump Up Theater is a theater that specializes in low-cost production and uncomplicated filming. This also means that for many actors, the pay for the plays in this theater will not be high.
It’s not that they are unwilling to pay high salaries, it’s because the theater doesn’t know how much advertising money it can earn.
No one knows what kind of market response this theater will receive.
It’s a completely new thing.
Jiang Yuqian, on the other hand, has a very simple need, that is, she wants a good drama to be released to everyone as soon as possible - since "Squid Game" was aired, she has only appeared in one drama and one movie, "Behind the Golden Coat" The second film's box office performance was mediocre, not a success. Although Jiang Yuqian has determined that she will definitely take the route of a big star instead of an actor in the future, she does not want to completely break away from the track of an actor.
Furthermore, Jiang Yuqian also knows very well that no top superstar is separated from his work.
It’s just that these works may not be recognized by the most authoritative awards, but they must have very classic works at the public level.
So, Jiang Yuqian did not have high requirements for her salary, but found several alternative scripts relatively smoothly.

"Jiang Yuqian has taken a fancy to these scripts from Jump Up Theater?"
Zhang Lan frowned and looked seriously at the scripts in front of him, which were not too thick.
The assistant on the side nodded and said: "It took us a lot of effort to find out."
Zhang Lan asked: "Have you read these scripts? Which one do you think she will choose? ?”
“These scripts have their own merits,” said the assistant. The script consultant also said that the quality of these scripts is very high, the stories and characters are very good, and the audience will like them. In fact, these stories must be good, and they have all been published in "Jump Up" magazine. Only those with high demand for adaptation will be adapted into scripts in the first batch.”
Zhang Lan was a little surprised when he heard this.
“Is that good?”
“Yes.” said the assistant.
"Can we all come next?" Zhang Lan asked.
The assistant was a little surprised and asked: "Is everything coming next?"
"Anyway, we haven't received any other suitable scripts now, right?" Zhang Lan said, "I rarely hear you say that these scripts are very good."
"We were also surprised and jumped up. The overall quality of the scripts in these theater plays is so high,” said the assistant, “They are very good at Yuehu Terrace and Northern Lights Video. They have hired excellent screenwriters and teams to adapt these plays. The original works themselves are very good.”
Zhang Lan: “Okay, let me take a look at the script first to see if you really have it. It’s so good, if it’s really good, I’ll follow.”
At this time, Shi Zhou came.
Shi Zhou is both her boyfriend and her manager.
"Are you reading the script?" Shi Zhou glanced at the script in front of Zhang Lan and asked.
Zhang Lan nodded.
Shi Zhou: "A variety show came over."
"What show?"
"An acting PK show." Shi Zhou said, " Comparing "The Birth of an Actor""
Zhang Lan was a little surprised and asked: "Do you want me to be a mentor?"
"No, I am a contestant." Shi Zhou said, "All the mentors in this show are directors, famous directors."
Zhang Lan immediately darkened his face and said, "You want me to be a player and go to PK? Are you crazy? "
Shi Zhou said: "The program team guarantees that if you are willing to participate, you will definitely enter the final round."
Zhang Lan: "This is not a matter of winning or losing. I’m a popular female star and want to be a contestant?”
Shi Zhou: "I was given an eight-figure salary."
Zhang Lan frowned.
An eight-figure salary...that's really not low. Even though Zhang Lan is a first-line female star, under the current market situation, with Zhang Lan's worth, she generally cannot get an eight-digit salary in variety shows. Now, it’s no different than in the years when video platforms first emerged. In order to grab stars, major platforms directly throw money at them and charge incredible sky-high prices. Now unless you reach the level of popularity and commercial value of Jiang Yuqian, you can't get this number.
No wonder Shi Zhou was moved.
Zhang Lan still shook his head.
"No, I won't go. No matter how much money they give me, I can't be a contestant." Zhang Lan was very clear, "Jiang Yuqian was a flight instructor in "The Birth of an Actor" and asked me to go to a similar program. Being a contestant? Are you crazy? I might as well start a live broadcast and slap myself.”
When Zhang Lan said this, Shi Zhou knew what she was thinking about.
For Zhang Lan, in her acting career, everything can be overcome, except for two people, Jiang Yuqian and Sui Xiaodie.
During the few years when the three of them were the "first sisters" of Xingyu, they were inseparable and could not let go.
Shi Zhou asked: "Then what do you want to do next? We don't have any shooting plans so far this year. Even if you take all the scenes in the Jump Theater, it won't be enough for you to support the team. ”
Zhang Lan said: "Please pick up some other variety shows for me. It's not like I don't want to record variety shows. Is there no other show for me besides this acting PK show?"
Shi Zhou : "Yes, there is, but it may not be that suitable. If it is not a reality show, the remuneration will not be very high. Moreover, if you participate in too many shows, it will create the impression that you are a variety show star, and the number must be controlled."
Worrying.
What A-list celebrities fear most is meeting Zhang Lan.
Actually, she is no longer so popular, something went wrong, and there are fewer projects for her to cooperate with.
With fewer choices, she can't make too many changes in order to maintain her usual image, otherwise others will know that you have a problem - and then others will be even more wary of cooperating with you.
Why do celebrities often travel in large and small bags in various styles?
In addition to the need to maintain a good image, people must also see their good condition and release a status signal of "I am fine" to the outside world at any time - feel free to use me.

"Chenghai, you are quite suitable for this role." At the audition scene of "Lies and Love", Chenghai came to audition for the male lead of this drama, and got the approval of the producer and Positive comments from the director.
"Lies and Love" is a play from Leap Theater. It tells the story of a college student who returns home during the summer vacation and encounters an unexpected incident when his grandfather passes away, setting off a farce of endless disputes over the distribution of his inheritance.
"However, our drama has a limited budget, and the salary budget for this drama is not high, only 100,000. Are you OK?" the producer asked.
Although Chenghai auditioned for the male lead, because it was a family drama with many roles, the salary budget for each actor was also smaller.
Chenghai didn’t know if Zhou Pingan would agree.
He said: "I'm OK with it myself, but I have to talk to my agent about the remuneration."
"Okay, how about you contact him as soon as possible and give us a reply?" Producer Said, "We need to settle it as soon as possible."
Chenghai nodded.
He went to call Zhou Pingan.
After Zhou Pingan heard the situation, he immediately became unhappy.
"You are very popular now and your popularity has also increased. They only offered you a salary of 100,000 yuan, which is too stingy." Zhou Pingan said, "I will come over to talk to them now."
Cheng Hai: " Is this good? I think they have a lot of choices. There are quite a few actors coming to audition today."
"Is there anyone more popular than you?" Zhou Ping'an asked directly.
Chenghai: "Well, there are still a few."
"They are even less likely to accept the salary price of 100,000 yuan." Zhou Ping'an said, "With you now in "The Birth of an Actor" "With the performance and popularity, this price is insulting to you."
Chenghai hesitated for a moment and said, "They don't seem to have a big budget."
"They don't have a big budget. I will introduce investors to them." Zhou Ping'an said, "We brought the capital to join the head office. ."
Cheng Hai was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Ping'an to say that.
"Anyway, the investment in this drama is only more than two million yuan, so there is not much pressure. Now there are several investors who are interested in you and are willing to add some investment to your project." Zhou Ping'an said, "Wait a minute I, I’ll be there in half an hour.”
After hanging up the phone, Cheng Hai was a little stunned.
The actor who competed with him for this role was Wang Lu, who had played "Three Mountains".
While Cheng Hai was waiting for Zhou Pingan outside, Wang Lu also finished trying on the mirror and was preparing to leave alone with his assistant.
“Have you finished your audition?” Wang Lu saw him and said hello.
Chenghai nodded and said: "The audition is over, how are you?"
Wang Lu said: "They felt that I was not suitable for the leading actor and asked me if I would like to play the neighbor's son. I have to go back and communicate with my agent about that role.”
Chenghai nodded.
Wang Lu asked: "What about you?"
Cheng Hai said: "Same, we have to wait for the agent's opinion."
In this case, only If you can keep it a secret first, you won’t lie anyway.
Wang Lu nodded without asking, "Then I'll go first, bye."
As soon as he came out, Wang Lu sent a message to his agent: I met Cheng Hai when I came out just now. He auditioned in front of me. I feel that he should have received good feedback.
Agent: How are you?
Wang Lu: They asked me if I would accept the role of the neighbor. I read the script and there were only three scenes.
Agent: Three scenes? Then there is no need to act.
Wang Lu: Yes, I acted for the male lead. I should have sent a message to Lu Yanhe in advance. I didn’t expect that there were so many people competing today. I originally thought that such a small It's a low-cost drama and not many people are interested.
Agent: Who are they?
Wang Lu: The ones I know include Cheng Hai, Zhong Li, Xu Huihan, and Ning Chengzhang.
Agent: Fortunately, they are not first-tier.
Wang Lu: But compared with them, my competitive advantage is not big. This was the first time I was told that I was not suitable for the role at the audition and asked if I would like to change roles.
Agent: This is not necessarily their problem. The auditions at Jump Up Theater all use Lu Yanhe’s method. Basically, it depends on whether you are suitable for the role. Maybe you are just not suitable for the role. Don’t think too much, if it’s not suitable this time, it might be suitable next time.
Wang Lu: Tell me, if I say hello to Lu Yanhe, can I get this role? Is there any drama?
The agent asked: How is your relationship with Lu Yanhe? Very familiar? I heard that people who usually try to get roles from him through connections have no success.
Wang Lu: I don’t know. I haven’t tried it. I don’t know if he will buy it.
Agent: Then don’t take risks, otherwise it will be self-defeating.
Wang Lu: Could it be that Cheng Hai said hello to Lu Yanhe?
Agent: How do you know? Don't think too much. It's useless. They have already said that you are not suitable for this male lead, right?
-
Lu Yanhe was very surprised when he learned that "Lies and Love" had chosen Cheng Hai as the candidate for the male lead.
In the show "The Birth of an Actor", Cheng Hai's popularity continued to rise even before the show started due to the reason why He Sha withdrew from the competition.
After the first round of PK, Chenghai also performed very well in the second round of competition. With good luck, he entered a performance team with all members promoted and entered the third round of the show. In the midst of competition.
His popularity and popularity quickly rebounded because of this show.
And because his image and age happen to be what this market needs most, as far as Lu Yanhe knows, Cheng Hai has been booked for more films at once.
Because Jump Up Theater is a new thing, and it is different from mainstream traditional dramas and closer to TV movies in the United States. No one knows what kind of response it will get when it is put on the market. In the current situation, basically no A-list actors dare to take risks and be the first to eat crabs.
The only ones willing to act are Yan Liang and Jiang Yuqian. The two of them came, no matter what reasons they said, they had something to do with Lu Yanhe.
When Cheng Hai had a choice and the market was most enthusiastic about him, he was still willing to audition for the crew of "Lies and Love" and perform the role with a relatively low salary figure. In fact, A disguised form of gratitude to Lu Yanhe.
None of this needs to be said face to face.
Just like Lu Yanhe never told Chenghai that it was Lu Yanhe who suggested that Chenghai be on the show "The Birth of an Actor".
"Will you star in the script "Silent Stairs"?" Chen Ziyan took out another play from Jump Up Theatre, which is a script adapted from a short mystery novel written by Liu Jiazhen.
Lu Yanhe was quite surprised.
“Finally a script that suits me?”

There will be another update in the evening. (End of this chapter)
