Chapter 394 Idol Drama
Xu Jinglei came to Haomeng Company and handed over his passport to the logistics department. Haomeng Company went to apply for a visa abroad.81.81.
Then she entered an office, took out a cup from the cabinet, and picked herself up a glass of water on the water dispenser.
She put the water cup on the table, sat casually on the sand beside the table, took out a book from her backpack, and looked through it.
After graduation, Xu Jinglei signed with Haomeng Company. She has been here many times and is very familiar with it.
As an actor, she has a very relaxed time and doesn’t have to come to the company every day. She spends most of her time filming on sets, filming advertisements, participating in some entertainment activities, etc.
Although Good Dream Company has not equipped her with a separate agent, it can help her solve daily trivial matters.
The post-production of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has been filmed. In the middle, she also took on advertisements from two famous cosmetic brands, and there is a TV series "Take Love to the End" to be filmed.
This year, Xu Jinglei's schedule was very full and her pay also increased a lot.
From the first episode of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to the current episode of 5,000 yuan per episode, she has become a second-tier star.
This kind of start is much higher than her classmates. With filming and advertising, she has earned more than 100,000 yuan in the past two years, and has escaped from food and clothing, and has moved towards a well-off society, at least she has no problem supporting herself.
Currently, Good Dream Company and Art Center have two TV series, one is "Louching" and the other is "Traveling Love to the End".
Xu Jinglei has read both of these books. Obviously, "The Hidden" is more profound and excellent. "Putting Love to the End" is an urban emotional drama, which only adds elements of youth and inspiration.
It can be said that ten years later, the audience will still remember "Luxing", but not necessarily remember "Turning Love to the End".
It can be judged by Lin Zixuan's attitude towards the two dramas.
The actors of "Land" were selected by Lin Zixuan in person. They are all veteran actors with several years of acting experience. "Putting Love to the End" is more casual in selecting actors.
Except for the heroine who was designated by Lin Zixuan, most of the other actors were found directly from art academies.
For example, Huang Xiaoming and Chen Kun, first-year Beijing Film Academy, Liu Ye, Qin Hailu and Yuan Quan, first-year Beijing Film Academy.
This group of people has just learned a performance course for a year, and can only be said to be better than those who have no experience in acting. It can be foreseeable how many troubles they will encounter during the actual shooting.
According to Lin Zixuan, "Traveling Love to the End" is a youth idol drama, which is about finding some fresh faces.
It doesn’t require a high level of acting skills, as long as you can be cool in front of the camera.
This drama focuses on the teenager market, and teenagers are more willing to watch a combination of handsome men and beautiful women. This is the charm of idol dramas.
Lin Zixuan wants to use this TV series to create idols from young domestic audiences.
Moreover, the pay for these actors who are still in school is extremely low, and the pay of 1,000 yuan per episode is enough to make them happy. Or they can have a filming film in the first year of college, so they are willing to do so without paying them.
Lin Zixuan was not so harsh, but he still gave a fair price.
Doing this can save production costs. The length of twenty episodes is only enough to invest more than two million yuan.
"You are responsible for the acting skills in this drama, and they are responsible for other aspects. Just take them a little bit." Lin Zixuan explained.
This sentence hurts Xu Jinglei very much. She only has her acting skills in her relationship. The combination of handsome men and beautiful women that she agreed on is not me.
Lin Zixuan didn't realize that there was something wrong with what he said, and he was afraid of comparisons in everything. With Xu Jinglei's current acting skills, it was enough to crush those freshmen in college.
After watching "Put Love to the End", the audience will find that the actress named Xu Jinglei has good acting skills.
Anyway, it’s an idol drama, Lin Zixuan really didn’t spend much effort, and he cared more about "The Hidden".
Xu Jinglei heard that the heroine of "The Hidden" was decided, she was a drama actor in Kong Zheng, neither from the Good Dream Company nor from the Art Center.
She had thought about the role of Wang Cuiping and tried it, but it felt that it was not easy to play.
Xu Jinglei either wants to play the heroine in "The Hidden" or wants to know where the gap is. With her collaboration with outstanding actors such as Director Chen, she can feel her shortcomings.
If there is a gap, you need to find a way to make up for it. Acting skills are constantly honed.
After a while, Yu Feihong also came and started chatting with Xu Jinglei.
Good Dream Company does not have an office for every actor. This is the actor's lounge. There is no one in normal times. Only when the actors talk about the lines or the crew have something to do to have a meeting.
"Do you know what's going on?" Yu Feihong asked.
Yu Feihong filmed "The Hidden" in the second half of the year, and played Zuo Lan, an underground party member who had few roles. In addition, many film and television companies asked her to film, most of which were costume dramas.
This is related to her ancient costume appearance being popular with the audience, but she is not willing to repeat herself and is more willing to take on modern dramas.
"I don't know very well, it should be related to "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Mr. Lin asked me two days ago about my opinion on the character Yu Jiaolong." Xu Jinglei guessed.
They both graduated from the Beijing Film Academy, and Yu Feihong also worked as Xu Jinglei's teacher. The two are not the same in acting.
Yu Feihong is good at playing an intellectual and elegant role, while Xu Jinglei takes an ordinary route and is suitable for playing an ordinary person in life.
Of course, good actors will not be simply defined, and the acting path will often be very wide.
He can play both a good person and a villain, both comedy and tragedy, so he is an excellent actor.
The two were chatting when Lin Zixuan and Chen Daoming walked in.
In September, the crew of "Spring in Small Town" will go to Venice to attend the film festival, and Lin Zixuan is talking about what happened after the film festival.
"We flew from Venice to the United States and met with Li An." Lin Zixuan explained, "I contacted Li An with someone, and he promised to meet with us to discuss the matter of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
The person Lin Zixuan is looking for is Chen Chong, who is filming "The Legend of Xu Sanguan Selling Blood".
Chen Chong is also a Hollywood player. It is not difficult to contact Li An with friends from Hollywood. Lin Zixuan and Li An talked on the phone and agreed on an approximate time to meet.
Many things cannot be explained clearly on the phone, and only in person can they be honest enough.
"Li An of Hollywood?" Yu Feihong said in surprise.
Yu Feihong has made movies in the United States and spent two years in Los Angeles. She is no stranger to Chinese filmmakers. Li An is the best Chinese director among them.
This is the first time she heard that she was going to find Li An to film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". In this way, this would be a big production.
"That's right, but the communication has not been very smooth so far." Lin Zixuan explained, "We went to the United States this time to persuade Li An to come and film this movie and have an in-depth chat with him." (To be continued.)8
