Brother Qian prepared meals outside and called Sister Qian over.
Zhang Yuan hid in the room and made a phone call.
Who did you call?
Table reed.
"Yu Bo and Jiang Xuerou?"
On the other end of the phone, Zhui Wei replied in surprise.
Jiang Xuerou is the boss of Zhouyi Film and Television.
“Did you imagine this, or did you hear something?” Zhui Wei asked cautiously.
This is a big deal after all!
Zhouyi Film and Television is actually a husband and wife shop.
The boss Zhou Yi is responsible for operations and external relations, while the wife Jiang Xuerou is responsible for producing, writing, and leading artists.
But the problem is that as the first brother, the aftermath comes between the boss and the boss’s wife.
With Yu Bo’s appearance and temperament, it’s normal for the boss lady to like him.
Just like many big film and television companies, the boss and his wife have their own affairs, and they understand each other tacitly.
But Zhou Yi is a "pure love warrior".
"You can go and observe. I'm just providing a suggestion and idea."
"What if there is big news?"
Ziwei was speechless for a while.
He knew that Zhang Yuan had a purpose for asking him to do this. He didn't like being a free gunman for others.
But it is indeed big news and very tempting.
"I understand."
"Looking forward to your good news."
Ziwei:...
Zhang Yuan put down his mobile phone and walked out of the house leisurely, talking to Qian Brother started chatting.
Yu Bo doesn’t have that much money, he is sure of this.
Therefore, if he is competing with himself, he must find sources of funds.
There is only one source of this, and that is Jiang Xuerou.
Whether it’s an overdraft or a loan, he will definitely ask the boss’s wife for help.
So as long as his path is cut off, he will lose the ability to compete with himself in a short period of time.
As for other side effects... I'm not his father, it's none of my business.
Besides, he also agreed that everyone should do it according to his or her ability.
No words were spoken all night. At dawn the next day, Boss Cai called Zhang Yuan.
She happened to be coming to the imperial capital for a meeting, so she stopped by to see him.
"I quite like your place. I thought it was very quiet last time I came here." Boss Cai was very polite after seeing him.
“It’s okay, but the Imperial City is not as fashionable as the Demon City.”
After the two sat down, Boss Cai took out a stack of scripts.
"I told you before."
"This is the script of "New Liaozhai", a total of six units."
"You read it first, choose it first Role."
After Zhang Yuan helped secure the broadcast channel for "Sword of Immortality" last time, Boss Cai said that he could choose the role in the new film, and now he is here to fulfill his promise.
"New Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio" has a total of six units: "Lu Pian", "A Bao", "Xiao Cui", "Xiao Xie", "Xiao Qian" and "Painted Skin".
Zhang Yuan clearly remembers that not only the story of this film was "unpacked", but the actors were also "unpackaged".
There are from Rong Xinda, Hua Yi, Modu Xingquan, TVB and a bunch of companies from all over the world.
There are actors from mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Southeast Asia.
Of course, Sugarman’s own artists are also indispensable.
The reason for this is that Boss Cai knows that he has a small business and weak abilities, and can only survive in the cracks of big companies.
So she plans to use this opportunity to try to cooperate with major domestic companies, and also use their publicity and broadcast channels.
Zhang Yuan flipped through it, and as far as stories are concerned, the most exciting ones are actually "Lu Pan" and "Painted Skin".
But the male protagonists in these two units are all scumbags.
Playing this kind of role can indeed showcase your acting skills, but it can also easily affect your personal image.
After all, there is the precedent of Teacher Feng Yuanzheng. After so many years, people can still think of An Jiahe when they see him.
Who dares to ask him to shoot an advertisement?
It’s easy to scare children.
"I'll choose this one." After looking at it for a long time, he picked out one.
What he chose was "Xiao Qian".
He was familiar with this, after all he had filmed "A Chinese Ghost Story".
Last time I played the Seven Nights Demon Lord, this time I can play Ning Caichen!
In this way, publicity is also convenient. Qiye transforms into Ning Caichen, and finally achieves success with Xiaoqian... Oh, it seems that they still haven't achieved success. Xiaoqian in this script dies miserably.
"Uh..." Boss Cai finished the script and bit his lower lip.
Because of the role of Ning Caichen, she was originally reserved for Hu Ge.
But since I told Zhang Yuan to pick whatever he wanted, he had to do it.
“Okay.”
Cai Yinong calculated that Hu Ge must be raised.
But compared with Zhang Yuan, he is still far behind.
Before, Boss Cai knew that the possibility of Zhang Yuan signing with Sugar Man was infinitely close to zero.
After all, he and Hua Yi had a heated relationship, and Hua Yi provided him with film resources.
If you can be a movie star these days, who will care about a small company that makes TV series?
But now Hua Yi has a problem, and Boss Cai takes a look.
The sky cleared up and the rain stopped, and she felt like she could do it again!
If something goes wrong in Huayi, then Zhang Yuan may not go to Huayi.
If we don’t go to Huayi, we sugar people will have a chance!
She is cruel.
"The role of Ning Caichen will be given to Zhang Yuan."
"I will arrange a suitable role for Hu Ge."
"Which one... there is ”
Boss Cai thought about it and realized that the infatuated male protagonist of the unit "Abao" was actually quite suitable for Hu Ge.
It’s just that she originally wanted to find Yuan Hong in this unit.
After all, when we were filming "Legend of Sword and Fairy" last time, they refused to let people go on stage, so they asked Hu Ge to come out to act, while Yuan Hong stayed behind at school.
“Yeah.” Boss Cai decided to give Yuan Hong another hard time and let me take the blame.
Yuan Hong:……
"Okay, I'll make arrangements right away. Let's make an appointment for you to audition and set the makeup."
"No problem." Zhang Yuan readily accepted.
"So, the salary for this film..." Boss Cai was straightforward and did not hide it.
“Let me start by saying that because there are so many actors in this film, the budget is actually quite tight.”
Boss Cai has several problems.
In addition to finding actresses who like to match their looks, they just like stud.
After she identifies a script, a play, and an actor, she will be like a bull without looking back.
This "New Liaozhai" used most of the funds earned from "Sword and Fairy".
And she plans to spend a lot of money on special effects, because the special effects of "Legend of Sword and Fairy" were scolded online.
In fact, in this kind of ancient puppet show, the special effects are not important, the main thing is to look at the face.
However, the market positioning and work operation at that time were not as mature as those of later generations, and everyone was constantly falling into pitfalls.
"Boss Cai, we have known each other for a long time. Having more money and less money is actually not that important."
Hearing what Zhang Yuan said, Boss Cai smiled broadly.
Look, I told Li Guoli that we should have a heart-to-heart relationship with the actor.
With friendship, everything is easy to talk about.
"I have only one request for remuneration." Zhang Yuan raised a finger.
"You tell me."
"It doesn't matter how much it is, but it must be marked in the contract. I have to be the person with the highest salary in the whole film."
Cai Yi Nong:...
She looked at the young man in front of her and felt a little dazed.
He is both similar and different from the person he met by chance at the airport for the first time.
Boss Cai understands that Zhang Yuan’s condition is to compete for the first brother!
And what he is competing for is not the top brother of a certain company.
But one of the best among his peers!
Compared to him, other male actors are too small.
This guy has a huge appetite!
You can give me ten thousand, or you can give me ten million.
But I have to be paid higher than others.
The entertainment industry is very cruel. As the saying goes, no one is better than a man of letters, but no one is second to a man of strength.
The entertainment industry is pretty sophisticated, but everyone just loves to compete.
How to divide it?
The simplest thing is the salary and net worth.
And the reason why he did this is also very simple.
There are so many agencies that are cooperating with this film, and Zhang Yuan just wants to tell them that I am the strongest among my peers.
In this industry, the stronger you are, the more valuable you are, and the more people will rob you!
He was now quite anxious about Hua Yi's silence, so he had to find a way to continue stimulating the Wang brothers.
Boss Cai thought for a while and gritted his teeth.
"I'll think about it." "And."
"And?"
"Yes, I have some additional conditions." Zhang Yuan continued.
“If you want to assign a main role to my little senior sister Liu Shishi, she doesn’t have to be in the same unit as me, but she must be the protagonist.”
Zhang Yuan promised Mr. Yuan that he would do a good job Taking care of the lion cubs.
So we must seek some benefits for our family.
Boss Cai opened her mouth. Her original plan was to give Liu Shishi a small role.
But if Zhang Yuan wants the protagonist... he has to squeeze out another person.
"I'll think about these requirements again..."
"Don't worry, there are more." Zhang Yuan smiled and waved his hand.
He also thought that when the crew of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was wrapping up, he had told Yang Mi that he would introduce her to work.
“I have a friend, Yang Mi from Rongxinda, do you know?”
"I know, she's a very smart girl." Boss Cai replied. She was indeed paying attention to this person.
At this stage, Yang Mi does have some aura and light in his eyes.
But later I was blinded by money.
"Find a role for her, a main role."
Boss Cai remained silent.
Another main character is leaving!
She is indeed trying to cooperate with Rong Xinda, and this time she also roped in Rong Xinda’s people.
Boss Cai still has the same old habit, his heart is as high as the sky, and he originally wanted to recruit the first sister Zhou Xun from Rong Xinda.
They ignored her at all.
Nowadays, Zhou Xun, not to mention ignoring Sugar Man, even Rong Xinda is a bit indifferent.
Her contract will expire next year, and this old lady has already started looking for a new home.
Li Xiaowan and Boss Cai discussed it and decided to send Zeng Li, the "big Qingyi" who had just been introduced by Chen Kun to join Rong Xinda.
Li Xiaowan and Li Shaohong also saw Zhou Xun's "rebellion", so they are actively looking for replacements.
In addition to Zeng Li, their company also has Zhang Jing. At this moment, Yang Mi is still translucent, far from it.
After listening to Zhang Yuan’s words, Boss Cai felt a little uncomfortable.
This guy also has too many demands, and they are all harsh.
From the salary to the casting, this person already has the potential to be a "drama king".
"Huh... I'll go back and think about it, you have more conditions."
"I know, you should think about it slowly, don't be in a hurry."
"Oh, yes. Come on!" Zhang Yuan remembered something again.
Boss Cai's expression froze.
Anything else?
What are you going to do?
You don’t take us sugar people seriously!
Even though she had a good relationship with Zhang Yuan, Cai Yinong was a little annoyed at this time.
"China Film asked me to guest star in a movie, and the schedule may conflict with "New Liaozhai"."
"Fortunately, the guest appearance doesn't take long, just one or two weeks is enough."
"So I hope Boss Cai can help me free up some time."
Zhang Yuan told him the schedule for "Huo Yuanjia", and when Boss Cai took a look, it happened to be stuck in their shooting schedule!
That is to say, Zhang Yuan still has to leave for a week or two while taking pictures.
At that time, when Liu Qianqian was in "Sword and Fairy", she asked for leave in the middle of filming, which made Boss Cai very angry.
It can be seen that this person hates drama very much.
Money, people, schedule, you all made demands that were difficult for me to accept... Boss Cai took a deep breath for a long time before suppressing his temper.
"Is there any more?" she asked simply.
"No more for now." Zhang Yuan spread his hands sincerely.
"Okay, I'll go back..."
Didi didi...
Cai Yinong just wanted to put this matter aside and have a good chat with Zhang Yuan about the possibility of having a sugar man, but... His thoughts were interrupted by an anxious cell phone ringtone.
“Sorry.” Boss Cai said hello and stood up to pick him up.
After a long while, she returned to her seat with a sinking face.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Yuan asked with a bad look on her face.
"Hey...there's a little problem."
What's going on?
Before filming many TV series, they actually contact the TV station about selling the film.
Especially for prime time slots on major TV stations, reservations may need to be made a year in advance.
This time for "New Liaozhai", Sugar Man approached Guangdong TV to discuss the prime time slot at the end of the year.
The talks were originally very good. After all, "New Liaozhai" has enough stars, and the TV station thought it had potential.
But at this stall, Cheng Yaojin suddenly appeared.
A TV series called "The Legend of the Spirit Mirror" has also found Guangdong Channel, and the TV station is very interested in it.
Because this "Legend of the Spirit Mirror" is the sequel to the fantasy dark horse "Shuiyue Cave" from a few years ago!
When "Water Moon Cave Sky" was broadcast in 2004, it ranked third in the year's ratings on Yuhang TV Station and seventh in the year's ratings on Magic City TV Station.
This achievement is already considered a miracle for an original script work.
After all, the high-rated costume dramas of those days, apart from Qiong Yao films, were also Jin Yong and Gu Long adaptations, all of which had an audience base.
Even "Sword and Fairy" has a certain audience base. After all, there are gaming gems in front of it.
Zhang Yuan chuckled when he heard that it was the sequel to "Water Moon Cave".
“What’s wrong?” Boss Cai asked puzzled.
"It's nothing, I don't think you need to worry."
Because "Water Moon Cave Sky" is Zhouyi's signature work!
The script of "Water Moon Cave" is a script written by the proprietress Jiang Xuerou after watching "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" and combining it with ancient Chinese legends.
Moreover, the filming of this film also experienced a SARS shutdown, which had many twists and turns, but it turned out to be a great success.
And Zhou Yi is Sugar Man’s biggest rival, both of whom made their fortunes in costume fantasy dramas.
The two companies have a high degree of overlap in business.
"What do you mean when you say don't worry?"
"Just don't worry about Zhou Yi." Zhang Yuan smiled and shook his head, what a coincidence.
"Zhou Yi will have some small problems recently, and I have too much time to take care of myself."
"I shouldn't have time to compete with you."
"Something happened?" Cai Yinong narrowed her eyes and asked doubtfully.
Zhang Yuan spread his hands sincerely again and said no more.
After chatting with Boss Cai for a long time, he hurried back to the Magic City to prepare for the "New Liaozhai" related matters.
She and Li Guoli, a partner of He Company, told the truth about the conditions proposed by Zhang Yuan.
Director Li doesn't like Zhang Yuan very much. Just like Big Beard, he thinks this person is difficult to control.
“I think he’s a little complacent because of his recent popularity!”
“It’s not like our film can’t be made without him.”
“The script has been sorted out. The effect will not be bad for him.”
"I also think he went a little too far this time." Boss Cai always spoke for him, but today he also complained a little.
"I suggest forget it, don't use people like this." Li Guoli said smoothly: "It is better to praise your own people."
"But the previous broadcast of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" Yes, he helped a lot.”
“Then he got a lot of benefits, and the dividends were several million.”
“That was before, but now. "Li Guoli tried his best to persuade.
At this moment, Boss Cai's assistant suddenly rushed in with a magazine.
“Sister Yinong, look at it quickly!”
Cai Yinong took it and took a look.
On a huge photo with two pages combined into one page, two figures appeared extremely clearly.
Boss Cai couldn't be more familiar with these two figures.
After all, the person who knows you best must be your opponent.
"This is Yu Bo and Jiang Xuerou..."
In the photo, Yu Bo is smiling, holding a spoon in his hand, and passing a spoonful of food to the other party.
Jiang Xuerou opened her mouth gently and leaned forward with a charming face.
This feeding scene is extremely ambiguous, especially the expressions of these two people.
That smile is warm and warm.
Pink bubbles are almost appearing.
"Brother Yi and the landlady feed each other, this..." Boss Cai thought about it for a moment and realized that this was definitely enough to make Zhou Yi drink a pot!
Then she felt sluggish again.
My whole body felt numb from head to foot, as if there was an electric shock.
She remembered that a few days ago, Zhang Yuan told her not to worry about Zhou Yi.
Because the other party will have some "small problems"...(End of Chapter)
