Senior Superstar

"Let me act?"

Li Shixin's sudden invitation made Wu Ming startled.

Although Wu Ming felt quite sore when she saw Zhao Jinzhi guest-star or play a role in Li Shixin's movie before, and had the illusion that she could do it by herself for a while, but when she really accepted Li Shixin's invitation, she actually It was a retreat.

"Shixin, can I do it? I've never acted before."

"Why!"

Seeing that Wu Ming, who was equally aggressive, also felt timid, Li Shixin smiled and waved his hand.

"I've never seen a pig run, but I've always eaten pork! You've been with so many crews, watched so many live and drama rehearsals, and you still don't know the basics of performance? Besides, this script is inspired by your experience." I figured it out. I think it’s very suitable for you to evolve the Shen Mengjun before you were young. Didn’t you see the little performance just now? She used your usual performance as a reference. Anyone who plays this role needs to adapt, except you , just look at yourself."

"Play me?"

Li Shixin's encouragement made Wu Ming slightly silent.

"Is it really possible?"

She still doubted herself a little, but there was already a hint of excitement and eagerness in her eyes.

Noticing her gaze, Li Shixin chuckled and said, "It's okay, isn't there me? I have relatively few roles in this drama, and Xu Ge is on the scene. I'm not busy, so I can take it by hand." you."

"Ah, that's so troublesome. If you can't do it, Shixin, you can find someone else. There are so many actors in Rongdian who can act, so I won't cause trouble for the crew."

Beside her, Zhao Jinzhi raised the corners of her mouth seeing her clearly wanting and hesitating.

"Brother, if Lao Wu can't do it, I can."

"Who told you that I can't do it!? Isn't it just acting? No matter how difficult it is, can it be as difficult as having a child? I will take this job!"

Seeing that Wu Ming was full of fighting spirit in an instant, Zhao Jinzhi smiled slightly and winked at Li Shixin.

With the addition of Wu Ming, the cast is considered complete.

For Wu Ming, what Li Shixin valued was nothing else but the vigor of himself, the leader of the fan club.

Compared with the character of Shen Mengjun in "Back to Twenty", there is almost no difference in character between the two.

As for Wu Ming's acting skills, Li Shixin didn't really care much about it.

For one thing, a group of elderly fans at the Yuedong Small Theater often rehearse some dramas for self-entertainment. Although they are not up to the professional level, as the main organizer of cultural activities, Wu Ming still has a certain foundation in acting.

Secondly, in the final analysis, "Back to Twenty" is an urban youth film. This kind of theme focuses on the plot, not the characters.

This is not to say that role interpretation is not important. In fact, no matter what the subject matter is, even the dubbing of cartoons requires an actor's acting skills. Not that high.

Li Shixin can be given leeway.

Everything was ready, Li Shixin began to train Wu Ming in the next two days, and led Xu Ge and others to rearrange the shooting schedule, and made a series of adjustments to the crew by shooting in sequence.

In the tense and rhythmic work, half a month is fleeting.

Li Shixin is busy here with newcomers and organizing filming.

On the side of Huaqi Brokerage Company, Li Juan and Yang Kuan were not idle either.

The filming of "Twenty Years Back" is in full swing, and the two versions of "Blue and White Porcelain" have also aroused good response and attention to the new film. However, Li Shixin's previous price increase caused the sponsorship to fall into a stalemate.

The brand owners were obviously not satisfied with Li Shixin's request of "6 million yuan per shot, no script adaptation".

Huaqi Headquarters Building, the reception desk of the advertising company on the 17th floor.

Looking at Mike Sun, Marketing Manager of Fendi China, Yang Kuan cleared his throat.

"Manager Sun, let me reiterate. Teacher Li's works must be guaranteed in terms of ratings and box office. This is our case, you can take a closer look.

We will repeat the "Mobei" series, which is a blockbuster commercial specially launched for China UnionPay. Let me introduce to you several recent works of Mr. Li. "Only Love" has been on the line for more than two months and is currently in theaters across the country. It has won a cumulative box office of 1.7 billion, and has achieved more than 37 million clicks and plays on the two online platforms of Dooshou and Chadou. As a promotional film of China Fire Protection, although "Red Helmet" has not been shown in theaters, it has also achieved an influence on the Internet that is difficult to match on the domestic Internet.

On Maoyan Film Critic, the film has received a word-of-mouth score of 9.8, and has accumulated more than 40 million clicks and plays. From the data point of view, Mr. Li's two recent works have reached the drainage level of domestic first-line directors and actors. Another point worth noting is that nearly 60% of the audience of Mr. Li's works are 25-35 years old.

In other words, the audience of Mr. Li's works is currently the group with the most consumption power in China. So I think, as the main creative director and screenwriter of the work, Mr. Li's request is not too much at all. We have been advertising for so long, and the number of times we have contacted and cooperated with first-line brands like your company is not rare.

According to the quotation of the current 4A advertising plan, put it in the block of any other first-line director, the quotation of 6 million per shot is not expensive. "

Faced with Yang Kuan's promotion, Fendi's marketing department pouted almost at the same time.

"Mr. Yang, what you said is very reasonable. We also admit that this quotation is in line with the current pricing in the domestic advertising market. But the crux of the problem is that Mr. Li Shixin has never tried the theme of youth urban film and television before. As far as we know, your company's The artist's previous works were mostly themes and plots. We don't think a director can maintain the popularity of his previous works after crossing genres. After all, film and television are risky. A film director , it’s unlikely that every work will be a blockbuster, isn’t it?”

"Also, please pay special attention to your company; this cooperation is not because we actively seek your company to invest in soft value, it is entirely because of the editor-in-chief of "Bazaar" Su that we have contact. With Fendi's current brand influence, there is quite a wide range of soft value options for film and television works of this type. If your company cannot provide satisfactory conditions and sincerity, I don't think there is much need for us to talk further. "

"What's more, Fendi's brand influence must be known to both Manager Yang and Li. To put it bluntly, maybe Fendi's soft value in a certain youth idol movie is a kind of coercion for this movie." There are many domestic films, even if we don’t get sponsorship, they are still very happy to show our products in the screen, aren’t they?”

Sitting on the chair and looking at Yang Kuan and Li Juan, Mike Sun said with a half-smile.

Seeing the arrogance on the other side's face, Yang Kuan and Li Juan looked at each other with the look of "you came here for this cooperation".

Speaking of this, the two of them are clear in their hearts.

If Li Shixin doesn't give in at all, this business will be... out of the question!

studio.

"Back to Twenty" itself is an absolute protagonist, the relationship between two images, one old and one young.

In order to ensure that the filming progress would not be delayed by Wu Ming, a rookie, Li Shixin and Xu Ge discussed and divided the film crew into two groups for filming.

The progress on An Xiaoxiao's side was relatively fast. All the scenes in the first three acts were over, and Wu Ming's side was a little slower. However, with Li Shixin's strong output, the filming of the third act was nearing completion.

"Act 3, Scene 7, Scene 2, pass!"

"Very good, everyone has worked hard! Teacher Wu, I feel good today, keep it up! You still have one more scene, and we're done with the third act!"

On the set, seeing that Wu Ming was getting better and better, this time he completed the bridge in just two passes, Xu Ge praised loudly.

Hearing this word of praise, Wu Ming, who left the set, was overwhelmed.

Taking the thermos cup handed over by Chen Boshi casually, he sat back on the pony saddle with a big horse, and took a deep look at the dumbfounded Chen Antang behind his eyes.

Chen Antang just arrived on the set this morning.

Earlier, when his mother called and said that he had participated in Li Shixin's new play, he couldn't believe it.

But when he got to the set, seeing his mother actually shouted at the audience with that unique aura, Chen Antang was completely messed up.

My mom still does this?

"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen your mother?"

Wu Ming frowned seeing his son's sour face.

"Ah, no."

How could Chen Antang dare to answer this question, he quickly bent down and squeezed Wu Ming's shoulders.

"I really didn't know that you still have this ability. Mom, you really surprised me."

"There are so many things you don't know!"

Facing his son's backing, Wu Ming raised his chin.

"When you were three years old, the Xi'an factory went to our unit to shoot scenes. At that time, the director of the Xi'an factory was hospitalized with diarrhea and was hospitalized. I happened to be in charge of that ward. After seeing my image, he liked me. He insisted I went to play a role in his movie, it’s not a trick, it’s more than a dozen lines! I promised well, but on the day of the photoshoot, you naughty little bastard climbed a tree with the group of brats in the yard and threw your arm Broken, broke my head. Now, the scar is still there. I took a month off from my mother. If it weren't for you, maybe your mother and I would have a wrist now!"

"Ahem."

Seeing his mother's swollen appearance, Chen Antang could only laugh dryly.

On the side, seeing Wu Ming's dick, Li Shixin chuckled.

Just when he was about to say a few words to cheer Wu Ming up, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

"Godfather, there are indeed difficulties in sponsorship. Look at your request, can you lower it? Or lower the price a little bit, or give the brand merchant some authority. Otherwise, we really can't talk about it here! "

Hearing Li Juan's complaint, Li Shixin frowned.

If everything in this world is so easy to do, and can be settled in a few words, why do I need you tool people? !

Useless things!

After a moment of silence, Li Shixin let out a foul breath.

"You tell them that the conditions will not change at all. Do what you like, and don't let it go. Just... let them not regret it."

"Godfather, what did you say? Do you think this was when "Mobei" was filmed? At that time, you were barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes, but now you can still play like that? Listen to your son and don't be stubborn."

"This time, I really have to be stubborn."

Li Shixin snorted lightly and hung up the phone directly.

"Xu Ge!"

"Oh! Godfather, I'm here!"

"After filming today, when can I make the finished film of the first three scenes?"

"The animation studio has already completed the production of the 3D version of "Red Helmet". After the post-shooting, it will be sent directly to that side, and the dubbing will be done together. It will take about a day or two."

"Okay, within two days, I want to see the finished film."

"Come on!"

With Xu Ge's promise, Li Shixin narrowed his eyes and looked at An Xiaoxiao, who had just finished filming on the other side of the set.

"Little!"

"Teacher, Xiao Xiao is here!"

"After the filming, change your clothes, and go to the clothing wholesale city with Wei Shi."

"okay!"

Seeing An Xiaoxiao bouncing around to remove her makeup, Li Shixin picked up the phone again.

This time, he called Li Juan.

"Godfather, have you figured it out?"

"It's not."

"Hey, what are you doing then?"

"Contact me with some record companies, I want to buy the cover rights of some old songs. I will send you the playlist through WeChat right away."

After everything was arranged, Li Shixin took a deep breath.

I was thinking of "Back to Twenty" going to the theaters to cut a wave of leeks, but this time the old man changed his mind

This time, the common people don't want a cent of their money.

The gentry's money, the old man will earn it!
