Chapter 57 Chenglong
"Old and detailed?"
"You give me 50,000?"
Chenglong asked a little disbelief.
In this era, only a few hundred yuan is available, and even if you become a supporting role, it may only be available for a few thousand yuan.
He, a little supporting actor who has only played a few unknown movies, has no reputation at all. The boss is willing to give him a newcomer of 50,000 yuan, which can be considered a sky-high price.
This boss values himself too much!
Moreover, he did not laugh at his movement designs as juggling, but instead admired him very much, which moved him very much.
"Well, you're worth the price."
Chen Yaodong nodded and said.
He didn't care about spending more money on Chenglong to win over the hearts of the people. After all, if he had to film a few movies in the future, he could make money back with his capital and profit.
"Well, did you agree to give me this role?"
Chenglong asked a little disbelief.
Originally, he was just here to try his luck, but he didn't expect that his supporting role would actually have the chance to get the supporting role.
"Well, act well, I'll look at you."
Chen Yaodong looked at him and said with a smile.
Although he now wants him to shoot a classic top-notch movie like the police story Drunken Fist.
But now he is not very clear about Chenglong's acting skills. It is a good thing to ask him to make a supporting role to test his acting skills and let him hone it.
More importantly, he doesn't have so much money to film for Chenglong now, because Uncle Long had to spend a lot of money on filming in his previous life.
For example, the cost of police story 4 is more than 80 million, and the popular global hot film zone that made Uncle Long an international film superstar invested 100 million to shoot it.
Of course, this high cost also brought considerable benefits. At that time, the box office of Xiangjiang in the Hongfan District was HK$56.91 million, the box office in the mainland was more than 95 million, and the box office in Wanwan was NT$121 million. These were all record-breaking results.
Even in the bad country, it achieved a box office of US$32.39 million, with a global box office of US$82.3 million. At that time, it almost swept the world, allowing Jiahe to earn at least 100 million in profits. Including the income from peripherals and DVDs, it is probably 200 million.
In order to ensure that Chenglong can avoid making any mistakes when filming these big dramas, he naturally needs to hone him well.
Of course, when he wants to be a director and film a movie by himself, he must be careful in the script.
After all, if such a large-cost production is lost, it is not something that a small company like him can afford.
By then, he would have lost all his money after working hard to make so much money. He was afraid that he would not be able to help but deal with this guy.
"Thank you Laoxi! Thank you Laoxi!"
"I will definitely do it well!"
Chenglong held Chen Yaodong's hand and said gratefully.
As for signing a long-term contract, he doesn't care too much. After all, every company now needs new actors to sign for long-term contracts, and only after becoming famous can he have the right to choose.
"No need to thank you, this is what you have won."
"But do you know anyone suitable to play Uncle Jiu?"
Chen Yaodong looked at him and asked.
Martial arts like Chenglong should have their own circle and should know many people who are good at action scenes.
"A martial artist of Uncle Jiu's age..."
"I only know my master. He is also in his forties or fifties, and he is very good at fighting."
Chenglong thought for a while and replied.
Because he has been in the film industry for a short time, he does not know too many other martial arts actors, let alone those who are over 20 years older than him.
"What's your master's name?"
Chen Yaodong asked curiously.
"Ye Zhengde."
Chenglong replied immediately.
After hearing this name, Chen Yaodong had no impression in his mind. It seemed that Chenglong's master was not a famous figure in his previous life.
If Chenglong's master was the one in his previous life, he would have made a lot of money. After all, his master's disciples include not only Uncle Long, but also two famous martial arts superstars at that time, Sammo Hung and Yuan Biao.
But it doesn't matter. He is already very satisfied with accepting Chenglong's potential stock.
"Are your master interested in filming?"
"If you can, you can ask him to interview the role."
Chen Yaodong thought about it and said.
Since there was no suitable candidate, he had already taken his attention to Master Chenglong.
If you can be Chenglong’s master, your skills will definitely not be bad. As long as your temperament is positive enough, you can basically participate in the performance.
"My master? You should be interested."
"My master is short of money now, so I'll ask him if he's going to come."
Chenglong nodded and said.
Since no one has watched dramas in recent years, most people choose to watch movies and TV entertainment, which has led to the drama industry becoming increasingly unsatisfactory.
My master's opera troupe has adopted many orphans as apprentices, but most of them are young and do not have the ability to rely on themselves.
So now his master often has to work several jobs to make a living in order to support his apprentice.
And he was so excited to get a 50,000 yuan salary because he had the money to subsidize the troupe.
As the senior brother of the opera troupe, he has the ability to share the pressure, so he naturally won’t sit idly by.
"Then when will your master come for an interview?"
Chen Yaodong asked.
"He should sell beef offal in Mong Kok now."
"Old Xi, please wait for me for about one hour, I'll be back soon!"
After Chenglong finished speaking, he immediately got up and ran out.
Looking at his anxious personality, Chen Yaodong shook his head and smiled.
Sure enough, the young Uncle Long is not as calm as he has since been.
Wang Jing, who had been waiting outside, was stunned when she saw Chenglong rushing out of the company. She thought something had happened and hurried into the office.
"Old and me, what happened?"
"Did the friend run so fast and steal your stuff?"
"I immediately asked the security guard downstairs to stop him!"
Wang Jing quickly took out the walkie-talkie and planned to notify the security guard downstairs.
He was originally optimistic about this young man, but he didn't expect that he would be so shameless.
"Don't be nervous, he didn't steal my stuff."
"It's just that I asked him to come for an interview with his master."
Chen Yaodong shook his head and said with a smile.
"Is there a suitable actor who has no interview?"
"I'm not good at doing things well, so I'll pick more people to come for an interview tomorrow."
Wang Jing said with a little guilty feeling.
"It doesn't matter to you. There is no way without the right person, and you can't control it."
"Don't worry, wait and see if his master is suitable or not."
Chen Yaodong patted Wang Jing on the shoulder and did not blame him.
He knew that Wang Jing had a good vision of the actors, and the people who could be screened by him had many characteristics, but none of them just happened to fit the character of Uncle Jiu.
They can't control the right actors if they don't come, so Wang Jing can only choose the better one from the right person for him to interview in person.
"Thank you, Lao Xi."
