Chapter 126 Qingxia's replacement
Yang Ye said with great interest: "Kid, what's your name?"
The little girl was not afraid of strangers and said: "Young Master Yang, my name is Li Zi. This year Six years old."
"You know me?"
"Yes, you are a great hero!"
"Hahaha!" Yang Ye was happy.
Hearing the name, Xia Meng stared at the little girl again, frowned and asked the little girl's mother: "Hello, is her grandpa senior Li Minwei?"
< br>Ms. Li said: "Hello, Ms. Xia, yes."
"Is Ms. Lin in good health?"
"Not very well. She has been bedridden for the past two years. ”
"What do you do for a living now?"
"My husband is hearing-impaired and does odd jobs at the gym, and I am working as a truck driver. The seniors in the industry take care of me, and sometimes let Zizi star in stage plays. To subsidize some household expenses.” Her mother-in-law Lin Chuchu is also a famous actor."
Yang Ye nodded and said, "Oh, that's from a film family."
Xia Meng said to Li's mother, "It's been two years." I’m going to visit Ms. Lin tomorrow.”
Li's mother quickly said: "Thank you!"
Li Minwei has two wives. The eldest wife is Yan Shanshan, who is China's first actress. The little wife’s name is Lin Chuchu.
Li Minwei and Yan Shanshan died as early as the 1950s. After their deaths, Lin Chuchu withdrew from the film industry.
Therefore, although Gigi Lai came from a film family, her family was in poverty and she had never lived a good life since she was a child.
When Xia Meng and Li’s mother were chatting, Yang Ye made a face at little Gigi Gigi. As a result, Gigi Gigi was not afraid at all and even stuck out her tongue at Yang Ye.
When Yang Ye saw that they had finished chatting, he said to Li's mother: "Your daughter is very cute. I want to ask her to act in my movie. The salary is 8,000 yuan. If you are willing, we can sign the contract later."
Mother Li thanked her very much: "Yes, yes!"
Yang Ye stretched out and said: "Sister Meng, the casting is settled. Oh, yes I need to find a dog.”
Xia Meng asked: “What kind of dog do you want? Can I have a dog at home?”
The dog in the original ET is a Labu. The Laddo is a native dog of North America.
Yang Ye shook his head and said: "Don't be a border shepherd, just find a native dog. It has to have local characteristics."
"Then I'll buy one."
"The little dog will be there in a few days. The actors are gathered together and trained first. The dogs are also brought over to get familiar with them so that they don’t bite. Sister Mei, if you have time, can you help me give them acting lessons?”
Chen Sisi said nonchalantly: "Okay!"
Chen Sisi has actually stopped acting for a long time. She played the role of Bao Xiruo last year, and she came out of it just to save the face of her friends.
Xia Meng's face was even greater, so he invited her out again every minute.
As soon as Yang Ye saw Chen Sisi, he called her Sister Mei. They were very affectionate and not acquainted at all. In a few days, the two of them became familiar with each other.
Chen Sisi has a cheerful personality and loves to fight against injustice. When she was an actress, she always stood up to big directors or celebrities who bullied others.
Seeing that the Li family was having difficulties, Yang Ye took the initiative to invite Gigi Lai to act in the film and offered her a relatively high but not outrageous salary of 8,000 yuan.
Chen Sisi saw this and her affection for Yang Ye doubled.
Anyway, she usually has nothing to do at home. She just works as a teacher, so she immediately agreed.
"Don't worry, leave it to me!"
Yang Ye was so sleepy that he said, "I won't talk to you anymore, I'll go back to sleep."
As soon as Yang Ye left, Chen Sisi said to Xia Meng: "Sister Meng, your brother is quite nice."
Xia Meng smiled and said: "Aye is very talented and warm-hearted, otherwise I wouldn't I will come out to help him. It’s just not good at all. It’s too bothersome.”
Chen Sisi curled her lips and said: "Hey, he is a successful young man, handsome, and is chased crazily by a group of little girls every day. Do you still want him to be Liu Xiahui? Didn't you see that the daughter of the Guan family just now is chasing him here? Here we come.”
Xia Meng nodded and said, “That’s true.”
Although Xia Meng himself is a clean person, he has never seen anything in the entertainment industry. Chen Sisi's ex-husband Gao Yuan, who used to be the head of the Phoenix Film Company, was a playboy, which broke Chen Sisi's heart and committed suicide for a time. In the end, they parted ways and ended up divorced.
However, Chen Sisi also married Gao Yuan as a third party. There is nothing wrong with her having sex with others and others having sex with her.
……
After Yang Ye selected the actors, he flew to Taipei with Hu Yinmeng to attend the 14th Golden Horse Awards.
The two checked into the hotel where they were staying. Hu Yinmeng said: "I will visit my dad later. Will you go with me?"
Yang Ye said helplessly: "Where am I? Are you free? I will visit my father-in-law after attending the Golden Horse Awards."
"Bah, who is your father-in-law!"
"What do you think?" Yin Meng rubbed them together for a while, and while the two were working hard, the doorbell rang.
Hu Yinmeng straightened her clothes and ran to open the door, but Lin Qingxia came.
Hu Yinmeng didn't want to see this couple showing affection, so he said hello to Lin Qingxia, picked up his bag and left.
"Yinyin, why are you going?" Lin Qingxia asked.
"Go home and see my dad."
As soon as the door closed, Yang Ye smiled and said: "Qingxia, you came so fast, did you miss me?" Lin Qingxia said a little Not noticing anything strange about Yang Ye and Hu Yinmeng, she slumped down on the sofa and said helplessly: "This time I offended Sister Qiong Yao terribly."
Yang Ye sat over, put his arm around her shoulders, and asked knowingly: "What's wrong?"
Lin Qingxia raised her fist and punched Yang Ye a few times: "It's not you yet, I have to Sister Qiong Yao said that it ruined my previous image of a pretty girl and she was very angry." Yang Ye said disapprovingly: "In acting, how can I have a fixed image? Of course I try to play various roles. Well. How can I spend my whole life acting in Qiong Yao? "That's what I say, but Sister Qiong Yao is my mentor after all. Please help me find a way to calm her down."
Yang Ye thought for a while and said: "This is simple, just make her rich."
"What do you mean?"
"Qiong Yao is a deadbeat. She thinks you and I are in " There was too much kissing in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and her image was not beautiful enough, so she was not suitable for filming.
In fact, what does she know? You are more popular now than before! Ten times, even if you don’t act in anything and sit in front of the camera and drink tea for ninety minutes, people will watch it.
If she lets you act in her movie now, she will definitely make a lot of money.”
"So? I persuade Sister Qiong Yao to let her continue to invite me to film?"
Yang Ye shook his head: "If you don't do it, your current fame requires that the salary should be increased at least ten times. Qiong Yao's film The investment is not enough for your salary."
"Um...is that an exaggeration?"
"Is it an exaggeration? The global box office of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon has exceeded 100 million US dollars. I haven't finished the painting yet. Even if I make a hundred Qiong Yao movies, I won't be able to get enough box office.
Qiong Yao is angry because she can't afford you anymore. Your image and reputation are the same as those of Qiong Yao's movies. Not suitable anymore.
However, she simply did not understand that her novel was not suitable for the movie. "
Lin Qingxia was confused: "Sister Qiong Yao's novel is not suitable for the movie? But the box office is very good. The movies we made before were very popular in Taiwan and Southeast Asia. "
Yang Ye explained: "That's because Qiong Yao has found the best spokesperson for her novel, which is you. Her novel was written in your image. Now that your image has changed, she has nothing to play with.
However, although Qiong Yao has found you as the best spokesperson, she has never identified her audience group. She thought her audience was the young readers who read her novels, but she was actually wrong.
Her real audience is actually those maids and housewives. And these people have to serve their husbands, take care of their children, and do housework at home... They don't have the time or leisure to go to the cinema to watch such romantic movies. They will just stay in front of the TV and watch TV series! ”
Lin Qingxia understood: "You mean, Sister Qiong Yao's novel is suitable for being made into a TV series?"
Yang Ye said: "Yes, if Qiong Yao keeps making movies, she won't make much money at all. If she changes to making TV series , that’s how you make money every day.”
“Real or fake?”
Yang Ye said, “You don’t believe your husband’s opinion either?”
Lin Qingxia said coquettishly: "I haven't said I will marry you yet!"
Yang Ye said: "I'm here this time to help you terminate your contract. Qiong Yao's temple is too small and no longer worthy of you. Besides, if you stay in Taiwan to make her crap movies, we are separated from each other. Like the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, what should I do if I miss you?"
Lin Qingxia said happily: "So you have also thought of a way to persuade Sister Qiong Yao?"
Yang Ye said: "It's not just a way. It's a set of concrete and feasible plans, and after you leave, I have found a replacement for you. After all, Qiong Yao treats you well, and I don't want it to be difficult for you. Let's go see Qiong Yao tomorrow, and I promise to convince her. "
...
The next day, Yang Ye took Lin Qingxia to see Qiong Yao and went straight to the point to terminate Qingxia's contract.
Qiong Yao was furious, but before Qiong Yao could object, Yang Ye took out a TV series planning book and script.
Of course, this script only has basic character settings and plot outline, and Yang Ye doesn't have time to finish it all.
With Qiong Yao’s ability, if she approves of this outline, she can complete it by herself in a matter of minutes.
Yang Ye's planning book analyzed the characteristics of Qiong Yao's novels in detail, and then pointed out her real audience group. Qiong Yao was enlightened and couldn't help but feel ashamed.
“It turns out that I have been writing novels for so many years, but I haven’t even figured out the real readership?”
Qiong Yao was a little dissatisfied and went to read the TV drama script again.
At first glance, I felt it was very familiar. It was actually her novel "Misty Rain".
However, some adaptations have been made to the plot. The novel "Misty Rain" is a story of revenge, very dark and tragic.
Yang Ye changed it into a comedy. Ruping, who had no role in the original work, became as important a heroine as Yiping.
The character Du Fei, who was not in the original work, was also added, making Du Fei and Ru Ping a pair.
After seeing these changes, Qiong Yao felt very unhappy.
However, Yang Ye said: "Sister Qiongyao, I know you will be dissatisfied if I change your novel, but please believe in my vision in film and television. This TV series is produced by our Baiyang Company and Your superstar company made a joint venture and made half of the profit. The loss is mine. What do you think?”
Loss? The popularity of the TV series "Love Is Deep and Rainy" is miraculous. Among Qiong Yao dramas, it is second only to the two "Huan Zhu Ge Ge". How could it be a loss?
For Qiong Yao, the conditions offered by Yang Ye were basically guaranteed profit without loss. Qiong Yao would not agree unless she was a fool.
Yang Ye's changes to the novel changed Yiping's character. He added crazy drama to Ruping and added Du Fei, etc. She also felt that it was acceptable.
After all, Yang Ye's achievements in movies are really admirable. Although Qiong Yao is unhappy, she has to agree that Yang Ye has changed very well!
So, Qiong Yao agreed to Yang Ye’s plan to use her novels to make a TV series.
Try it, it won’t be a loss anyway!
Yang Ye said: "Although I want to take Qingxia away, I have already found the heroine for you in the new drama. I am still very confident in my vision of people, and I will definitely satisfy you!"
Qiong Yao couldn’t help but become curious: “Who is it?”
"A girl from Hong Kong!"
"From Hong Kong, can she speak Mandarin?"
"Of course she can, she is originally from Beijing. After I finish participating in the Golden Horse Awards, we Let’s go to Hong Kong to meet you.”
