Chapter 38 What is concentration?
Du Sheng had already checked the recent movements of the two people, and he would not hesitate to use the tiger skin:
“There was some communication (about salary), and I have her private number.
Director Ju is planning to join Zhongyao, and he suggested that I consider it, saying that he will be starting a big drama next year..."
Except for what Ju Jueliang said, the others have already gone astray, but every point added is a point added.
Zhang Jun's eyes lit up slightly and he began to ponder.
Because a few million dollars is not enough to finish this movie, and even if the special effects are crudely made, it will cost over a million, so we have to attract another investor.
Zhongyao Pictures is very good, at least it can get back to its roots.
Du Sheng is a link.
As a director with ideas, who wouldn't want to film their own children better?
and……
Big Beard's "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils" has been filming for some time and will most likely be broadcast next spring after production is completed.
It is highly likely that it will be broadcast before "Snow Goddess Dragon", and these two will definitely show up then!
Maybe it can even become a small fire.
When "Snow Goddess Dragon" is broadcast, it will definitely add a lot of color to this "three-no" drama with no famous director, no big stars, and no big investment.
In addition to Du Sheng's good looks, Liu Tao is far superior to previous auditioners in terms of his heroic temperament and outstanding appearance.
Taking all these factors into consideration, the cost-effectiveness is very high.
So even the producer Li Leda came in person today after hearing the greetings from Qiong Yao Company.
There is no way around it. A small crew that is unwelcome and not favored by the circle is just so miserable.
"Xiao Tao, if you are to play Shangguan Yan, can you join the crew within half a month? Will you accept to stay in the desert area..."
Li Leda has a good impression of Liu Tao. After all, he played the role in the sequel of Qiong Yao's hit drama. The combined popularity of the two dramas next year cannot be underestimated.
The most important thing is that the cost-effectiveness of signing her into the team now is really unmatched.
In addition, she and Du Sheng are both from "Tian Long", so they have a natural advantage in publicity (touching porcelain), and can also save a lot of money.
Liu Tao was delighted and said happily:
"No problem, I should be able to complete the handover next week."
She knew that there was basically no problem on her side.
As the saying goes, it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix. This is a real leading female role!
It doesn’t matter even if the crew has a smaller investment, at least it can raise the status.
Moreover, she believed in Du Sheng's vision and would not joke about the future of both parties.
Zhang Jun looked at Du Sheng and said with a smile:
"I heard from Old Ju that you have good martial arts skills and are also the action director of Tian Long?"
Li Leda glanced over with some surprise.
Such a young action director?
As for whether it was true or not, he had no doubt about it at all. People in the circle would know the answer by asking.
Before Du Sheng could speak, Liu Tao answered for him, with a hint of pride:
"It can't be wrong. The moves and rehearsals designed by Ah Sheng were not only recognized by Director Zhao, but also highly praised by Teacher Yuan Bin..."
Not to mention the close relationship between the two, she was still very happy that people looked up to Du Sheng.
And she also hopes that Du Sheng can star in this drama, so she couldn't help but praise him.
Du Sheng felt a little embarrassed after hearing this, but he also understood the underlying meaning of Zhang Jun's question.
It's obvious that they don't want to hire an action director, so they can save money.
But this is a martial arts drama, so action and fighting are inevitable, so...
Li Leda asked Du Sheng and Liu Tao to wait in the lounge for a while, discussed with Zhang Jun, and then reported to the investors.
When the boss learned about the cost-effectiveness of the two and the possibility of luring his old friend back into the game through Du Sheng, he made the decision on the spot.
Anyway, when he invested in this drama, his original intention was to promote Ren Ye, and other roles were sent out through auditions.
Now that you can have a little more protection and have the possibility to spread the investment, why not do it?
Just like this, Du Sheng and Liu Tao rushed to complete the signing that day.
"This is really lightning speed, haha." Wang Yaoyang, who heard the good news, breathed a sigh of relief and said with emotion:
"After working on the set of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, I have become a popular figure."
Isn't it true? In addition to playing the second male lead 'Sai Hua Tuo', Du Sheng also has the identity of a martial arts director, and is trying to attract Zhongyao's investment...
This is obviously an important task entrusted to me by "Dragon Goddess".
Du Sheng smiled and said, this is the advantage of a small crew.
There is no bloated list of tasks, and not everything is overloaded, and all aspects are dispatched quickly.
Of course, if he didn't have the advantage of foresight, who would take such a big risk and waste so much time on a crew that couldn't see the future?
Liu Tao was in a good mood when he got in the car and smiled:
"It's just that the pay was a little low and didn't meet my expectations."
In addition to the joy of playing the leading female role, the greater joy was the company and sharing.
There is no way around it. Her agent has completely let her do what she wants and is currently handling the affairs of another artist in Modu. At most, he will send an assistant to take care of things occasionally.
"Compared to my 2500, your 4500 per episode is already a steal."
Seeing that she was sweating, Du Sheng took off her coat after getting in the car and said casually:
"This drama will have to be shot for at least 40 or 50 episodes, which is quite a lot."
He is still a rookie and this price is barely acceptable to him.
Moreover, he doesn't have to give any commission to the company. If the money earned from the martial arts director is included, his income is no less than Liu Tao's.
If we add the 10 I have saved and the 7.5 I earned from Tianlong (after tax)...
More than 30 is enough to buy a house in a second-tier city.
"It's really good."
Liu Tao did not complain and smiled:
"Although I have to go to the desert to film, my food, accommodation and travel expenses are all reimbursed by the crew, and my treatment in all aspects is much better than that of ordinary minor roles."
At least, she had to share a room with others in "Tian Long" before, but she doesn't have to do that this time.
There is a special car to pick me up when I go to the crew every day, and I also receive subsidies for air travel.
Du Sheng nodded slightly.
Now is the millennium, and the value of four or five thousand yuan is no less than ten thousand yuan in the future, and there are not so many rules and restrictions.
Even Ling Zhiying.
This little whirlwind, whose popularity at his peak was comparable to that of the Four Heavenly Kings, only received less than 30,000 yuan for filming an episode of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils".
In today's era, the pay of stars has not yet been exaggerated to the level of Yishuang, Yilun and Yibing in later generations.
The crew of "Dragon Goddess" has not been fully prepared yet, and some characters are not in place.
Liu Tao is tentatively scheduled to join the crew in fifteen days to familiarize himself with the environment and the script, or to shoot the literary part first.
Du Sheng is the second male lead and doesn't have that many scenes. The action director can come up with these ideas while he's free on "Tian Long". It can be done later.
……
The three-day holiday passed in a flash, and after arriving at Yunfu Licheng Film and Television Studio, we started intensive filming again.
The crew members were not too surprised by the occasional intimacy between Du Sheng and Liu Tao.
Firstly, this kind of pairing of young men and women is too common, and it is also common for them to break up after filming.
Secondly, there is already a lot of interaction between these two characters, so who can say anything?
Ju Jueliang, Zhao Jian and others who knew the situation might make a few jokes, but this did not affect the two people's discussion of acting skills late into the night.
What is concentration?
Now, that's it!
I have tried it out, thank you all for reading!!!
Rolling on my knees in the snow to express my gratitude.
[I am a bronze king, book friend 2018…1269, watching the long river of fate with a smile] Thank you for the monthly tickets and recommendations! ~
