What If I Accidentally Made My Debut?

Chapter 159 Wei Zhongxian!

After Chen Jian heard this, he also sighed, thinking about such a small investment, he felt pitiful!

Especially in today's society, actors' salaries are skyrocketing, and actors who are a bit famous will start at every turn!

And their total investment is only 20 million yuan, which can make people laugh out loud.

Now a well-known little fresh meat is paid more than this amount alone!

At the beginning, Chen Jian was quite ambitious, and planned to spend 2 million yuan to invite Teacher Tang Qiang to come out of the mountain! Although the price is a bit low, but after all, the investment is limited, and it is already considered a big deal to be willing to spend two million for the appearance fee.

He felt that an old artist like Mr. Tang must value the work more than the salary.

However, it turned out that he thought too much, and the old artist also had to support his family!

In the end, I had no other choice, so I chose the actors in the art troupe. Finally, after many introductions, I found Teacher Li Bin!

Teacher Li Bin happily agreed after reading the script. The salary is not high, 500,000 yuan!

Later, with the help of teacher Li Bin, other actors also took their positions one by one.

Only the role of monk, Chen Jian was the most entangled.

In fact, he could find a newcomer to play this role. After all, although the role of monk is very important, it is not that important!

Especially when the crew's funds are so difficult, they can't afford to hire young artists who are slightly more famous!

But ever since Chen Jian watched "Green Snake", Fa Hai played by Qi Lin has been lingering in his mind.

Whenever he thought of the role of Wei Dayong, Qi Lin's appearance naturally appeared in his mind.

This made Chen Jian a little bit tortured. In the end, he simply sent an interview invitation to Qi Lin, and the salary was only 200,000 yuan.

He originally planned that after Qi Lin rejected him, he would be able to give up and find a newcomer. Who would have thought that Qi Lin would actually agree!

Veteran artist, dislikes low pay and refuses to act!

Newcomers in the industry don't pay for their works!

This even made Chen Jian a little dazed, and felt that he couldn't understand today's society.

The assistant director rubbed his stomach and said, "Now the actors are almost done, and the venue is almost ready, but what about the extras?"

After hearing this, Chen Jian laughed and said, "I've thought about this a long time ago. When the time comes, we will hire some local people, and we can use our own people for the rest!"

The assistant director was startled, one of his own? Where did your own people come from?

Chen Jian laughed and said, "Aren't the scene managers, scene reporters, photographers, lighting engineers, makeup artists, and even cast assistants all our own?"

The assistant director gasped when he heard the words, looked at Chen Jian in shock and said, "You are poor and crazy!"

Chen Jian sighed and said, "That's right, it's only 20 million, and there are so many explosion scenes, how can we save some money?"

"Let the higher-ups invest more! When filming "Three Kingdoms" and "Water Margin" before, didn't they shoot half of the budget and it was not enough? Which one was not the sponsorship and additional investment in the later stage?"

Chen Jian smiled wryly, took out a cigarette and lit one.

"These are the four great classics, can we compare? And it's just you and me, will the higher-ups invest more?"

This sentence convinced the assistant director. Indeed, both of them belonged to 'new directors'!

Although I have been in the industry for many years and have made many films, most of them are assistant directors, and I have no chance to sign names, and I have not made my name at all.

In this case, how can the higher-ups invest?

The assistant director rolled his eyes and said: "If the superior doesn't give it, can we just get other investment? We can get Qi Lin here now! Don't you remember what his nickname is?"

Chen Jian was startled, thought for a while and said, "thugs in suits?"

The assistant director shook his head.

"Thugs?"

The assistant director still shook his head.

Seeing that Chen Jian really didn't remember it, the assistant director reminded: "It's a koi! A koi!"

Chen Jian said speechlessly: "He is a movie koi, what does it have to do with our TV series?"

"Why doesn't it matter? Qi Lin has acted in a TV series since his debut, and that TV series is still being rebroadcasted. Don't you know how influential it is? Just because of the fact that Qi Lin joined, I feel that I can draw investors!"

Chen Jian shook his head straight after hearing this: "Then what are they trying to do? There is no way for them to place advertisements in anti-Japanese dramas like ours! This advertisement endorsement is absolutely impossible."

"The first round of broadcasting will be shown on CCTV, so there is no need to think about the first broadcasting rights. Without the first broadcasting rights, who will sponsor us on the video platform?"

After hearing this, the assistant director repeatedly waved his hands and said, "Hey, don't talk about it, let the producers worry about these things! Let's just think about how to make this movie well!"

Chen Jian was also happy to hear it, who said it wasn't? I need a producer!

"Mr. Jin! Why are you?"

Qi Lin was full of surprise, because he actually found another old acquaintance in the crew!

It was Jin Jie who played the genius doctor Li Guishou in "Sword Rain"!

Jin Jie looked at Qi Lin and smiled, "Of course it's me. Didn't Lu Yang tell you? I'm playing Wei Zhongxian."

Qi Lin shook his head again and again, Wei Zhongxian didn't have many roles in the first place, and if he rushed to shoot, he could finish it in two or three days, so he wasn't considered an important role.

On the previous list of actors, Wei Zhongxian's name was followed by only two words to be determined, but unexpectedly, such a powerful faction came!

There is no need to question Jin Jie's acting skills, especially in terms of line skills, it has its own unique charm!

Qi Lin didn't expect to meet so many acquaintances in such a 'pheasant crew'.

But what Qi Lin didn't know was that without him joining, none of his acquaintances would come!

Jin Jie sat beside Qi Lin with a smile and said, "I hope there will be an opportunity for in-depth cooperation in the future. I don't have many roles in these two cooperations."

Qi Lin also said with a smile: "I also hope that there will be such a day!"

The two chatted very happily. Qi Lin always liked to chat with the seniors in the circle, especially listening to these seniors tell stories.

As witnesses of the times, they can always give Qi Lin some different insights.

Not long after the two chatted, a makeup artist and a stylist came in to make up and style the two.

It took nearly an hour for the two of them to finish their makeup.

Qi Lin was still wearing a black flying fish suit, while Jin Jie was wearing an ancient silk shirt.

The director was filming other people's scenes, while Qi Lin and Jin Jie sat aside, drinking tea, whispering to the lines.

It won't be long before it's time for the two of them to play.

After all, Jin Jie only gave them a one-week schedule, so they had to hurry up and shoot first.

"Are you ready, teachers?"

Director Lu Yang's voice is still full of passion, he seems to never get tired, whenever he sees him, it's like a chicken blood.

"no problem!"

"Ready!"

Qi Lin and Jin Jie answered softly, and when Lu Yang saw this, he immediately started counting down.

"three!"

"two!"

"one!"

"start!"

Tun draft! There will be five or six updates on Thursday! Brothers, don't be stingy with small tickets, brush them up!
