I am popular in the entertainment circle

Chapter 28 He can’t resist investors

Waiting for the notification was a very tedious task, but Meng Ran was not stupid enough to show it and went out obediently.

Her expression is much calmer than that of the pretty girls.

People standing outside only knew that she took a long time, but they couldn't tell the depth.

Since he came to the film and television city, he couldn't go back like this. Meng Ran bought two cups of milk tea on the street and went to see Xuzhou.

"It's just you little girls who love to drink milk tea. We elderly people don't dare to drink too much sweet stuff. Besides, it's too expensive. Don't buy it in the future."

Xuzhou took the milk tea and couldn't help but say something.

Meng Ran patted his head and said with a smile,

"Then I'll buy chrysanthemum tea, name it, and wolfberry tea to keep in good health. As an actor, I can't eat too much to gain weight."

She can eat more and not gain weight because she is young, growing, and has good digestion ability, but actors are so demanding when it comes to being on camera, so she can't be too presumptuous.

Xuzhou nodded in agreement, "You haven't entered the state yet. Since you are pursuing this goal, you should prepare yourself as a big star in advance. There is a saying that opportunities are for those who are prepared."

Meng Ran cooperated and said something.

Xuzhou asked the key points,

"Xiao Meng, you came to the studio today. Do you have a movie to shoot?"

"Yes, the director Qin's crew that Uncle Xu introduced to me before is really good. I gained a lot of experience and met very good people. The director who came to audition today was also introduced to me by director Qin."

Xuzhou said in surprise,

"Well, Xiao Meng, your performance is really good. You can make Director Qin talk. You know that Director Qin liked to promote new people when he was young. It's different now. He's more stable now."

He blinked his eyes, lowered his voice, and looked like he was gossiping.

"That's what they said, but I heard that Director Qin brought in a new person a few years ago, and he was stabbed. Later, he was very frustrated. Xiao Meng, you can actually impress him and make him change his mind.

It’s really awesome.”

Meng Ran was surprised, "Really? Uncle Xu, do you know who that person is?"

Xuzhou said,

"It seems that there was a female star named Zhen who became famous after filming a movie directed by Qin. Later, the two of them had a falling out for some unknown reason. Director Qin kicked her out of the crew in anger, tsk tsk. You

I also know that Director Qin has taken a very steady path, step by step. Some dramas may only be small hits, but they have good reputations, which is very rare."

The pie in the entertainment industry is so big, and there are many well-known directors.

Director Qin's extraordinary status is aimed at group actors like them, but in fact he himself has to face a lot of compromises, from investors and producers, all kinds of chaos, it's like a bunch of demons dancing around.

Director Qin's principle is very simple. He must ensure his right to speak in the crew. For this reason, he does not need to take on some big productions. Naturally, he cannot compare with many "well-known" directors.

When their resumes are released, they can blind people.

But only veterans like Xuzhou who have been in the film and television city for many years know that if some new actors want to stay in this circle longer and become famous longer, instead of passing away like shooting stars, they should go to more crews like Director Qin

, because you can really learn a lot, instead of being confused by false prosperity and forgetting your original goal.

Especially those from non-majoring backgrounds.

I had no systematic study of acting skills, no connections from school teachers or classmates, so I just blindly bumped into each other, not knowing how many detours I had to take before I could make the right move.

This little gossip rewarded Meng Ran with a wooden box and a thousand yuan, which was better than nothing. What interested her more was that the system suggested that she could dig deeper into the gossip.

Meng Ran asked the system excitedly, "If I dig deeper, can I get more rewards?"

[It may be a bigger melon, or it may be out of date. It depends on the host’s own opinion whether to continue]

Meng Ran suddenly became alert.

The system does not directly trigger deeper tasks, but directly rewards, indicating that this gossip may have passed the time limit, and even if it is dug out, it will not matter... No, it is not useless. For example, Zhang Meili, let her know that someone is targeting her.

She, be careful.

This kind of information is also very useful.

An actor named Zhen?

The surname Zhen is not common, and since they are in the same circle, they may become friends someday.

Meng Ran decided to go back and search.

After saying goodbye to Xuzhou and returning to the rental house, Meng Ran was already considering renting a house near the film and television city.

The original owner could only choose this place because she had no money, but she had it and she would not treat herself badly.

There is never too much debt left or right.

It doesn't mean anything for her to send all the money she has now, but she can remit it again after Jiang He finishes making the batch of jewelry and gets the balance.

Now the 60,000 yuan will be kept as costs.

A glance at WeChat showed that Director Jiang had not yet confirmed the sketch, so he could not draw a detailed draft and had to read the book first.

…

Meng Ran was looking forward to Jiang He's reply, but he didn't know that Jiang He had a headache at this time.

He and Li Mingqi had differences.

Li Mingqi is a young, high-spirited director with a genius's inspiration and a stubbornness that can't be stopped. He emphasized,

"Acting skills can be trained. A great director will train an actor to look the way he wants. But the character design, I feel like it can't be achieved with makeup alone. I'm pretty sure, Zhuo Xueyun, she is what I want."

The blue sky!"

Li Mingqi is the person in charge of this project, and it was he who attracted the investment, while Jiang He is the assistant director who the producer did not trust Li Mingqi's ability to bring in. After all, this is his first drama, and some of his works have only been shot before.

Micro-movies and short plays cannot explain anything.

He needs someone to help him make overall plans, allow him to shoot with confidence, and at the same time pull him back when he goes off track.

Li Mingqi is very self-centered, Jiang He discovered it the first time he met him.

But the good cooperation before blinded his perception.

Li Mingqi is really a very professional director. He is willing to spend money on things that Jiang He considers very important, such as serving Hua Dao.

I'm also willing to follow Jiang He's idea and find some actors who don't have that high salary.

However, that was just because they had the same idea. When their ideas went wrong, he was like a stubborn cow.

Jiang He couldn't argue with him and had no choice but to compromise.

"Jiang He, I will prove to you that my idea is right."

Li Mingqi said emphatically that his eyes were so bright that his originally mediocre face became a bit more handsome because of this finishing touch.

Confidence is the best BGM for men.

At this time, he can definitely conquer many powerful women.

However, he couldn't resist investors.

The phone rang, and Li Mingqi received a call from the producer. His face became increasingly ugly.

"...This is what the investor requires. The heroine must be designated by him. The limit I can reluctantly help you get is that he will not interfere with the subsequent filming of the crew and is willing to invest an additional 10 million, so you don't have to worry about changing the script.

"

"That's not what we said before."

He reluctantly said.

"Things have changed. You and I don't want it. If you want to be more open-minded, Xianxia dramas attach great importance to special effects. With 10 million, you can find a better special effects team."

Li Mingqi looked at the hung up call, froze for a moment, then slammed the phone to the ground and broke it into pieces, just like his mood at this time.
